We can rely on each other so that we don't have to fight alone and get exhausted.
The two little guys couldn't help much, so they stayed at home.
Xia Yunxi and Li Hanting went to work together.
The morning was busy and passed quickly.
After get off work, Xia Yunxi hurriedly left the office, left the company, and took a taxi to the hospital.
On the way, I bought some food to fill my stomach.
Arrived at the hospital and pushed open the door of the ward.
At first glance, I saw the old couple sitting by the bed, sighing.
The sound of the door opening startled them. The old lady faced the door, raised her head, and saw Xia Yunxi coming in.
"Xiao Xia..." As the old lady spoke, the old man turned around.
Seeing that it was Xia Yunxi, the solemnity on his face dissipated a little, "Xiao Xia is here, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten. You don't need to get up." Xia Yunxi hurried over and held down the old lady who was about to get up. "I came to see you. An An said that the old man wanted to be discharged from the hospital."
The old lady sighed deeply. After not seeing him for just two days, the hair on his face seemed to have become even grayer.
"We are so unlucky to have such unfaithful sons. They have made the old man and I so angry that our lives will be shortened by several years."
The old man was also silent and sighed.
I didn’t feel anything before, but when my body collapsed and couldn’t hold on any longer, I realized that it wasn’t my body that collapsed, but my dignity.
It's fallen down, so anyone can come and step on it.
The old man was proud all his life, but when he was old, his back became bent and he had to look at people's faces.
"No matter how angry you are, you can't go against your own body. An An and the others went back and told me about it. I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to take care of you and the old man." Xia Yunxi said apologetically. She sat down on the chair beside the bed: "What's going on? Didn't I call the police last time? How dare they come and force you?"
"It's my rebellious daughter, Xiaoxia, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. You said that the old man and I were almost living a glorious life, but we didn't expect that at the last moment, we were angered by our children..." When the old lady said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
It can be seen that the lizard has been injured to the extreme. The child who was raised with great difficulty can no longer rely on it for retirement.
Nowadays, everyone regards their parents as a shame, which is even more disheartening than treating outsiders as a disgrace.
The old lady doesn’t know what to do?
I even had a thought in my mind: could I just watch that unruly son anger the old man to death?
When the old man was alive, although he was in poor health, he was able to keep her company to some extent and was her spiritual comfort.
But if the old man got angry to death, the old lady could almost foresee that her own end would probably be worse than the old man's.
Xia Yunxi pursed her lips and looked at Mr. Li: "Grandpa, what do you think?"
If it were before, the old man could still rely on his pride to firmly refuse the rebellious couple from coming to his house.
But now he was lying in bed and could do nothing.
The old man can tolerate how others trample on their dignity, but what makes people despair and helpless is that the ones who come to trample on them are their own children.
The old man closed his eyes, feeling lonely and helpless, unable even to support his wife.
He just waved his arms silently, as if everything he did would be in vain at this point.
Xia Yunxi's mood was also affected, but as an outsider, she couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.
She always remembers this: only by not crossing the line can relationships between people last.
I chatted with the old man and the old lady for a while and tried my best to comfort them.
Then Xia Yunxi hurried out, bought some edible food for the old man, and brought it back.
It's already time to go to work.
Xia Yunxi didn't want to stay any longer, so after saying goodbye to the old man and the old lady, she hurried to the company.
The whole day was busy.
When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Nancy called and asked Xia Yunxi to go out for a walk.
It just so happened that there was less work today and no need to work overtime, so Xia Yunxi agreed.
After agreeing on a place with Nancy, Xia Yunxi hung up the phone, thought for a while, and sent a WeChat message to Li Hanting.
Tell him that I have an appointment with a friend in the evening and we won’t be going back together.
But almost as soon as the text message was sent, the other party called.
Xia Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly and swiped the phone to answer it.
Just as I put the phone to my ear, a man's hoarse voice came from it: "Who do you have a date with?"
"Nancy!" Xia Yunxi didn't remember whether Li Hanting knew Nancy, but the relationship between Nancy and Qi Jun was unusual.
The man on the other end was silent for a moment, then said without hesitation: "Call Qi Jun and the others, let's all go together."
"This... isn't good, right?" Xia Yunxi clearly heard that Nancy's tone was not very good when she received the call just now.
If she suddenly gathered a group of people without the other party's consent, it would be disrespectful to the other friend.
"What's wrong with that? You'll know when the time comes."
"How about I ask Nancy?" Xia Yunxi asked in a negotiating tone.
"Whatever you want." The man said and hung up the phone.
Xia Yunxi curled her lips. She had such a bad temper and not enough patience—
Xia Yunxi felt that she was the only one who could tolerate his bad temper.
Xia Yunxi finally asked Nancy if it was possible to invite a few other friends.
Nancy answered quickly with two words.
Can!
Only then did Xia Yunxi feel relieved and finished the last bit of work with peace of mind. It was already time to get off work.
Xia Yunxi did not wait for Li Hanting on purpose, but took a taxi to meet Nancy first.
When they arrived at the place Nancy mentioned, which was a square, Xia Yunxi saw a thinly dressed girl sitting on a stone bench from a distance.
She wasn't as carefree as when we first met, or maybe because she had been sitting in the cold wind for too long, her face looked very pale.
Although her pretty short hair still made her look capable and generous, Xia Yunxi could still tell from her expression that she was worried.
"Nancy."
Xia Yunxi called out and walked over, "How long have you been waiting here?"
"It wasn't long." Nancy stood up and brushed a strand of hair away from her cheek.
Xia Yunxi held her hands, which were both icy cold. Her brows furrowed slightly. "You said you hadn't waited long, so why are you wearing so little?"
"You can't do anything that hurts your body, right?"
Nancy smiled and said, "It's okay, it's really okay, I don't feel that cold."
"You're still talking, your face is frozen white." Xia Yunxi said unhappily, "Let's go, let's hurry over there, they should have booked a private room."
"You haven't eaten yet, right? I just got off work, so it's a good time to relax tonight."
