Chapter 354: Father and Son Face to Face
Meanwhile, Ye Tiandong got drunk at Bai Zhi's wedding and was taken directly to Ye Rufeng's house by Ye Qingbai.
Then they helped him lie down on the bed in the north room.
Ye Qingbai originally planned to live with Ye Rufeng, but Ye Rufeng preferred peace and quiet and snored loudly when he slept.
I was really afraid of disturbing my second grandfather's rest, and that he would be kicked out in the middle of the night.
In addition, Ye Qingbai also wanted to create opportunities for the father and son to spend time alone together.
Some things, in the end, you have to face on your own.
So, after thinking it over, he boldly closed the door to Ye Tiandong's room and planned to return to the hotel.
"Second Grandfather, my cousin is sleeping in the north room. Please listen to him closely tonight. If he vomits, please keep an eye on him. It's dangerous for a drunk person to vomit alone."
If vomit gets stuck in the airway, an accident could very well happen.
As soon as Ye Rufeng entered, he made himself a cup of tea. Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, he didn't even turn his head, but said reluctantly, "Why did you bring him here? If you take him to a hotel, I can't take care of him."
"Second Grandpa, my dad and I have both had too much to drink. If we take my uncle to a hotel, who will take care of him? Please help me out. I'm going back to sleep now; I have a terrible headache."
Ye Qingbai finished speaking quickly and then made his escape.
They gave Ye Rufeng absolutely no room to refuse.
After drinking a cup of tea, Ye Rufeng felt better after drinking alcohol.
Then he went out into the yard and sat under the grape trellis, where the leaves had already fallen, lost in thought.
At this time of day, there's always a chattering voice calling for Grandpa in the yard.
Sometimes he got annoyed by her calling him and didn't want to respond, but she would always come over and ask him with concern if he was tired, exhausted, or in a bad mood.
Or perhaps she encountered a difficult or complicated case during a consultation, and she would sit down on a small stool in front of him, wanting to discuss medical techniques with him.
Now that she's married, she suddenly feels that the courtyard is empty.
It's upsetting.
Even before Bai Zhi got married, she was often busy outside during the day.
The grandfather and grandson only talk briefly together after they get home from get off work.
But he is reliable.
And now, even after she's become someone else's wife, she always feels empty inside.
Perhaps because people become more lonely as they get older, he can no longer accept the kind of life he had before where he was the only one to feed and no one else had to worry about him.
He had something on his mind.
They also began to yearn for family affection.
Thinking of this, Ye Rufeng turned his head to look towards the north house.
Ye Qingbai closed the door to the north room.
The people inside must be sleeping soundly, as there wasn't a sound to be heard.
The doors and windows were closed, and not even a snore could be heard.
Ye Rufeng stood up, slowed his pace, and walked to the window of the north room. He stood at the window and looked inside through the glass.
The person in the bed was sleeping soundly, covered with a blanket, and didn't move at all.
Ye Rufeng returned to the main room and brewed another cup of tea, then took it to the north room.
He pushed the door open very gently, making almost no sound.
Once inside, he tiptoed over and placed the teacup on the bedside table.
He had intended to turn and leave, but upon seeing the sleeping man on the bed, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
He stared blankly at the sleeping man on the bed, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
This is his son.
Since their falling out more than ten years ago, he has seen him only a handful of times.
Even if I see it in Bincheng, I only catch a glimpse of it from afar.
Over the years, I have almost never been this close to him.
If it weren't for Bai Zhi's wedding, he would never have come to his house, sat at the same table with him for a meal, and is now sleeping in his bed.
This is something I would never have even considered before.
At this moment, Ye Rufeng looked at his sleeping face and felt a sense of disorientation.
My son, who is thirty-four this year, is still handsome, but his expression has become more weathered.
He knew that Ye Tiandong had suffered greatly from that deceitful marriage.
Although when he heard about it, he verbally cursed him for being stupid and deserving to be deceived.
No one knows how much pain he was in.
At that moment, he felt guilty for the first time about his stubborn son.
If he has both parents alive, a happy family, and family members to help arrange his marriage, how could he be so easily deceived?
No matter how cunning Li Li and her stepson are, the fox will eventually show its tail.
Ye Tiandong was so immersed in his sweet love that it was hard for him to notice anything amiss, but if his parents were around, they would always sense that something was wrong.
Because of his mother's death and the absence of his father's love, he lost his normal judgment when he was surrounded by love all by himself.
In previous years, he had also privately inquired about Ye Tiandong's personal relationships. According to his friends, he had no interest in marriage and was only focused on his career.
Two years ago, the state-owned restaurant faced the predicament of closing down, and Ye Tiandong borrowed money everywhere to try to take over the restaurant.
At that time, he heard that he had asked several friends, but had not been able to borrow money.
Later, he learned about this from Ye Jingsong's father, who was also his brother, and secretly contacted his brother to lend him a sum of money in Ye Jingsong's father's name.
This allowed him to successfully contract the state-owned restaurant.
He's really got some skills when it comes to running a restaurant.
Under his leadership, the state-run restaurant transformed its business model and was revived.
Later, it expanded and became a restaurant.
Ye Rufeng looked at his son's sleeping face, recalling the past in his mind.
I was filled with mixed emotions.
I have to admit, Bai Zhi is right.
They are all the same kind of people.
Their tempers are like rocks in a latrine—stinky and hard.
Ye Rufeng stood by the bed for an unknown amount of time, as the sky outside gradually darkened.
The light in the room grew dimmer and dimmer.
Ye Rufeng then slowly turned around and walked out the door with light, frivolous steps.
The banquet ended a little after 2 PM, and it's almost 7 PM now.
He felt empty inside and a little hungry.
When I used to see patients, I would eat out, and when I came back, there would be dishes made with angelica root.
Now, this large courtyard is empty and devoid of any life.
The kitchen was also cold and empty.
He sighed, went into the kitchen, lit the kerosene stove, and started cooking a thin porridge.
......
An hour later, he carried half a bowl of porridge and tiptoed into the north room.
I placed the bowl of porridge on the bedside table.
Looking at the person who was still fast asleep, he almost spoke, wanting to wake him up to drink porridge.
She moved her mouth several times, but ultimately didn't have the courage to call out to him.
He had no confidence and dared not even think about what he would face if he opened his mouth to wake him up.
The father and son hadn't spoken a word to each other for over ten years.
He didn't know what to say after waking him up.
How will he respond?
He probably won't drink the porridge he cooked; he might even dump the bowl on his head.
