Chapter 280
After taking care of her mother and finishing her meal, Xu Di hurried home again. She was worried about her grandmother being alone at home.
Xu Di returned home after buying his grandmother's favorite food from a familiar restaurant nearby.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Xu Di put the food away and went to find his grandma.
"Xiao Di, you're back. How's your mother?"
"My mother fell and broke her calf and thigh bone. She needs to rest for several months.
Grandma, I bought your favorite food, let’s go eat. ”
Grandma Qian heard the sound and knew that Xiaodi was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? Did you have a conflict with your eldest brother and the others?"
“Not really. My sister-in-law thinks that my mother fell down while going out to look for Xu Mei’s daughter, so Xu Mei should be responsible for taking care of my mother.
Xu Mei said she had to go to work and wanted me to take care of my mother, but I didn’t agree.
Finally, I hired a caregiver and asked the neighborhood committee to introduce an older sister to help take care of my mother.
Finally, my dad said they had already paid for the nanny and we didn’t have to share the cost. ”
Xu Di was also feeling conflicted. Looking at his elderly parents becoming the target of their children's shirking of responsibility, he wondered if they would regret having favored his eldest brother and Xu Mei.
“When parents get old, they fear becoming a burden to their children. Your father probably doesn’t want to trouble his children either.
However, your parents must be feeling uncomfortable with the behavior of your older brother and sister, right?
After all, they previously thought that your brother and sister were not well off and needed more support from them, so they ignored you and Xiaojun a lot.
As a result, when they are required to contribute, they do not receive corresponding care, which will definitely make them feel disappointed psychologically. ”
Grandma Qian disagrees with Xiaodi's parents' behavior. They are all her children, and she should treat them equally. Otherwise, it will affect the relationship between brothers and sisters.
Of course, she herself is also biased, and she only favors Chaoyang.
However, her situation is special. Chaoyang was abandoned by his parents. He has never received love from his parents since he was a child. He only has her as his grandmother.
The other three children grew up with their parents and they had no lack of love and care from their grandmother. After all, at that time, they were closer to the other grandmother.
"Grandma, sometimes I also reflect on whether I am biased towards my three children when I am not aware of it?"
“No, you and Chaoyang did a great job.
Nuannuan and the other three have different personalities, but they all rely on you in the same way.
Whether parents are partial or not can be determined by looking at their children’s feelings.
As the eldest sister, Nuannuan has a strong sense of responsibility.
The two younger sisters really believe in Nuannuan, and the three of them have a very good relationship. ”
Xu Di was also afraid that she might inadvertently overlook one of the children and make them feel uncomfortable.
She really likes Nuannuan and the other two equally.
After dinner, the ground outside was dry, so Xu Di accompanied her grandmother outside to digest the food.
The next day, Xu Di got up early and killed an old hen, stewed a pot of chicken soup, and added some ginseng slices.
The weather is hot now, and Xu's mother has a plaster cast on her leg and can't move her thigh. It's really painful.
Xu Di found some cotton cloth at home, picked out the ones suitable for Xu's mother's age, and made two sets of loose clothes for her.
Big shorts, just reaching the knees, with plenty of room in the legs.
Similar to the Korean style short-sleeved shirt, it is cooler to wear. Xu Di thought that he would go to the vicinity of the hospital and see if there was any wheelchair for sale and buy one.
The chicken soup was ready. Xu Di scooped out some and had lunch with his grandmother.
After packing up, it was almost time, so she took the prepared things and went to the hospital to deliver the meal.
When we arrived, Xu's father was just about to go out to buy food.
"Dad, I made chicken soup and brought some rice, so you don't have to go out."
Xu Di put the lunch box on the table and started to prepare.
"This is your daughter, she's really good at cooking!"
"Well, this is my second daughter. She lives far away, so it's inconvenient for her to come over."
Father Xu was chatting with the family of the patient in the next bed. His mother also had a broken leg.
"That's great. My two sisters haven't shown up yet."
The middle-aged man's mother was brought here last night. He had been taking care of her all night and was tired and hot.
"Maybe something delayed him."
Father Xu didn't know what to say, as the man's wife had complained yesterday. He also heard that the old lady favored her two daughters and was not nice to her daughter-in-law, so the daughter-in-law refused to serve her.
"Those are two ungrateful wolves."
The old lady on the bed heard her son's complaints, closed her eyes and said nothing.
"Mom, I made two sets of loose clothes for you, you can change into them later.
The weather is too hot to wear long pants. ”
Xu Di took out the clothes and put them aside.
"Got it. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaodi."
Xu Di didn't want to hear this, so she took the thermos and went out to get some water. She really didn't need her parents' thanks.
Xu's mother felt depressed and began to feel guilty towards her youngest daughter, so she left her in her hometown in the countryside since she was a child.
After I came back from school, I wanted to make up for it more.
Later, Xu Mei went to the countryside and Xiao Di got a job. Xu Mei got married, but the person she found was not as good as Xiao Di. They always felt that Xu Mei had a hard life and were afraid that she would suffer, so they always took care of her.
The same goes for Dali. I think it's not easy for him and his wife to raise three children, so he helps out from time to time.
As a result, they contributed money and effort, but both felt that they got less.
She fell down, and the two men neither wanted to contribute money nor help. It was so disheartening!
"Grandma, how are you?"
Xu Ping'an came in hurriedly, carrying a net bag of things, with an anxious look on his face.
"Ping An, why are you here? Aren't you going to work?"
"Grandma, I asked for two hours off.
It was only when An Xin called me this morning that I found out you had fallen. ”
After graduating from university, Xu Ping'an was assigned to work in a bank and had just started working.
"It's okay, the doctor said I just need to rest for a while.
You have just started working, so don't ask for leave, as it will give your boss a bad impression of you.
I'm fine here. I have a caregiver and your grandfather. ”
When Xu's mother looked at her eldest grandson, she felt relieved that not all of them were ungrateful.
"Your grandma is right. Your boss will be dissatisfied with you if you ask for leave right after you start working."
Father Xu looked at his tall and upright grandson and thought he was more responsible than his father.
"It's okay, I'll just be here for two hours and I'll be back soon.
Grandpa, An Yue and An Xin will come to take care of grandma this afternoon, you go home and have a rest.
Otherwise, grandma hasn’t recovered yet and you’ve fallen ill again. ”
The two younger sisters still listened to Xu Ping'an's words. She's already a teenage girl, so it's okay for her to take care of her grandmother.
"Okay, I'll go home and rest after An Xin and An Yue come over. Have you eaten? Your aunt made a lot of chicken soup. Have some."
"My aunt is here. Where is she? I miss her so much."
Xu Ping'an and Xu Di are very close. Since he was a child, his aunt has always bought him delicious food and toys.
"Your aunt has gone to fetch some water and will be back soon."
When Xu's mother saw her eldest grandson, she felt much better and ate half a bowl more of rice.
"Aunt, do you miss me?"
As soon as Xu Di entered the ward, Xu Ping'an quickly took the thermos from her hand.
"Why are you here? Did you ask for leave?"
"Please wait a moment."
Xu Di thought, it’s not bad, her mother’s love for this grandson is not in vain.
After An Yue and An Xin came over, Xu Di went home.
Mother Xu stayed in the hospital for a few days, and Brother Xu and Xu Mei also came to visit her.
It was not until the doctor said she could be discharged from the hospital that Xu Qiang brought a wheelchair, which was just right for him to push Xu's mother home. By the way, I carried her upstairs.
After settling Xu's mother, Xu Di and Xu Qiang left together.
"Sister, it's all good now, my aunt is back home, so you don't have to go to the hospital every day.
The nanny is here, you should take a rest too.
It's so hot, and you've lost weight from all the tossing and turning. ”
“Well, you don’t have to come here every day this time. Just rest at home for a few days. The children will be back soon.
When the time comes, I will go back to visit my grandparents. ”
Xu Di was also exhausted after these days. The weather was hot and there were many people on the bus.
"Sister, when you go back, call us."
"Okay, let's go, you can get busy too."
Xu Di waved and got on the bus. Xu Qiang also left as he also had a lot to do.
