In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
At the intersection, Ling Quan grumbled worriedly, "Turn on the boiler when we get home. Also, your bed is too hard and too high, it's not convenient for your grandpa to sleep on. Also, find someone to take care of your grandpa first until I get home."
Ling Ran waved his hand impatiently, "Please leave quickly! Before I came, your daughter-in-law had already arranged all these things. The bed was changed, the boiler was turned on, and someone was called to take care of it.
I've hired someone to take care of Grandpa. You can just look after him after get off work. In a few days, Grandpa's appetite will improve and he'll be able to get out of bed and walk on his own. Don't treat him like someone who can't take care of himself."
He asked Station Master Xie to find Erniu, who took care of Ren Hui that time, and he also put away all the things in his room and put out two identical single beds and a low cabinet.
Ling Quan felt relieved after hearing this. His daughter-in-law not only explained the details to his son, but also asked him to bring a bottle of liquid medicine. "Okay, remember to tell Xiangxiang and thank her for her thoughtfulness."
"You should thank him. This is your father. You didn't even come to see him before the New Year. How unfilial of you."
Dong Yunrong pulled her husband, whose expression had changed, and said, "Alright, let's go! You know your son can't stand being praised. If you praise him, his tail will be up in the air."
When they returned to the town, Xie Lin and Erniu were already waiting at the Ling family's door. Seeing the nanny car drive into the yard, he quickly pushed Erniu beside him and said, "Go and help! The car can't reach the door."
"Um!"
Erniu was happy to get work again, even though he had to work on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
He ran to the car and saw Ling Ran and others carrying a quilt out. He quickly took over. Ling Ran let him take over and ran back home quickly and opened the door.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief after being put on the bed. He felt dizzy from all the moving and shaking.
Xie Lin finally saw the old man's appearance clearly. "Oh! Old Man Ling, this is a terrible ordeal! But don't worry, with Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang by your side, you'll definitely get better soon."
"Yeah! I know. I have to get better soon. I still have to take care of my three babies!"
"That's right, you are so lucky to have three great-grandchildren!"
"Yes, yes, I am blessed, I am blessed."
Isn't it? After a trip to the underworld, I came back again. What a blessing!
"Then I won't disturb your rest. This Erniu is my wife's nephew. He's very caring and attentive. If you need anything, just tell me directly. It's more convenient and stronger to take care of someone like you with a man."
"That's right, thank you!"
"You're welcome. I'll be heading back first."
"Well! Come sit down when you're free."
"Okay!"
Ling Ran took Erniu to look at the boiler and taught him how to use it. "You're new here and don't know how to seal the furnace yet, so don't worry about that. Just see how long the coal can burn. If it's no longer black, add more coal. Don't wait until it's all burned out, as that can easily put out the fire."
He took him to the pot room and showed him around. "Don't cook for now. We'll send the food back, including the porridge that the old man drinks. We'll talk about it after the fifteenth. You just need to boil water and hot water. If you're careful, you can use a large steel cage pot to heat hot water on the furnace cover and use it for cleaning."
Erniu remembered it carefully.
"Erniu, I don't know how long you'll be needed this time. If the old man gets better and doesn't want to be taken care of anymore, even if he's done, you'll be the one who takes care of him for a long time."
Erniu nodded, "I know, if I can take good care of him, the old man will definitely not chase me away."
"Well, that's up to you. Let's keep the price as before! The old man isn't paralyzed, he's just too weak from illness. He needs to slowly recover. It'll take some effort in the early stages, but once he can walk, it'll be easy."
"good."
Erniu nodded excitedly and gave him 450 a month, which he didn't expect.
After giving the instructions, he told Erniu to go in and look after the patient. "There's a spittoon under the bed, and there's also a urinal like those in the hospital. Whatever works for you can be used."
"good."
When they returned to Zhou's house, Zhou's father and mother asked about the situation with concern.
Ling Ran smiled and said, "Very good! Don't worry, Mom and Dad! Once he eats a normal diet for a while, he will be able to recover."
"That's good. When we are free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will go see him again."
"Let's talk about it later! He's very skinny and scary, just like the time with Brother Chao. He needs to be replenished for a while. The medicine can save his life, but it can't replenish his flesh immediately."
"That's right, don't worry, as long as your physical condition improves, you can slowly replenish it. Your parents won't be home for dinner, so send the food over first!"
"Well! Let's send the food over first. After the three treasures' hundred-day celebration, my mother will definitely go home. We can start cooking then."
Mother Zhou nodded, "Alright, when the time comes, let Guo Xuehua take care of Sanbao."
After all this trouble, it was already noon. Zhou didn't want to eat the leftovers from the 30th, especially the fish, until the 15th, nor could he have leftovers for every meal. So he took one or two leftovers and made two or three new dishes, and finished them all at every meal.
Ling Ran asked Mrs. Xu to cook millet porridge and add a small piece of dried fruit.
"Okay!"
Mrs. Xu agreed straightforwardly. After coming to the Zhou family, the couple had seen so many different things that they never asked or explained anything. They just did whatever they were told.
He packed the porridge and salted eggs in an insulated lunch box, and used another insulated lunch box to pack food for Erniu, and Ling Ran went back to deliver the food himself.
After lunch, Professor Chu’s new activities began again.
As expected, the activity ended after only two hours of play and we went out for a walk.
Zuo Heng followed his wife back to her parents' home, and on his way back he made a special visit to Zhou's house.
Li Li and Zhou Xiang were whispering, "Zhou Xiang, I heard Xue Zhendong is getting engaged to someone from Huai County. He's even going to take her to Beijing to work. He broke up with Zhou Qing just like that. How are we going to get along at the company from now on?"
Zhou Xiang wasn't concerned about that. "Going to Beijing to work? Do you want to bring him to the company?"
"Oh! This, I forgot to ask my cousin." Li Li never paid attention to this issue and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Zhou wanted to ask Mr. Zuo, "Zuo Heng, is Xue Zhendong's girlfriend going to take the company with her?"
Zuo Heng shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."
Zhou Xiang said seriously: "From now on, the company is not allowed to accept such relatives, otherwise, it will make a mess. When the company was just established, you were too busy to handle it. What you needed most was someone you could trust to help you. I also took care of these alumni who studied with you.
If you accept Xue Zhendong's fiancée, what about others? Others take one or two, which is full of nepotism. Not only is it difficult to manage, but they can also form a team to deceive the company, or use public property for private work.
Especially Zhou Qing. If she brings a bunch of people with the surname Zhou to the company, and if she is really my direct descendant of the Zhou family, which Zhou will own this company in the future? Will it still belong to me?
Once the company becomes truly large, you won't be able to fire them because they may hold the most critical positions. If they all leave, the company will be paralyzed and unable to operate."
Li Li was confused by what she heard.
Zuo Heng became serious, "Now that you've analyzed it, I understand. Currently, no employee has ever brought relatives into the company.
Also, I have to check carefully when I recruit people in the future. What if your Zhou family, without using the Zhou surname, just stuffs people in one by one and eats away at the company? "
