On weekends, there are a lot of people outside, and the number of vendors setting up stalls is twice as many as usual, making the streets very lively.
The mother and daughter hardly had any rest throughout the afternoon. People kept coming in and out of the store, so Bai Wei turned the fan to the highest setting.
Around five or six o'clock, there were fewer people outside and the two were able to rest for a while.
Bai Wei looked at the time and said, "Mom, you should go back. Everyone is cooking and preparing to eat at this time. There won't be many people coming later."
Shen Juan hesitated for a moment, but finally left at Bai Wei's urging.
There were indeed not many people around after that, and Bai Wei was busy as usual, until 7:30 when she started cleaning, and closed the door at nearly 8 o'clock and prepared to go home.
After a busy day, although Bai Wei was tired and hungry, she couldn't help but grin when she thought about the numbers she had just calculated.
If she could earn this much every day, it wouldn’t matter if Bai Wei was so tired every day.
Maybe it's because students are about to go on vacation, so there are more people this weekend than usual.
If it is National Day, will there be more passenger flow?
Bai Wei went home excitedly, wanting to share the good news with Lu Siting.
However, after opening the door, the room was pitch black.
Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, then fumbled to turn on the light. The room was cold and deserted, with no one in it.
Where did Lu Siting go?
Normally, Lu Siting should be at home at this time.
In the more than one month since the store opened, every night when Bai Wei returned home, Lu Siting would either be waiting for her at the gate of the compound or cooking while she waited at home.
There was never a time when Lu Siting was not there when Bai Wei got home.
So where did he go?
Bai Wei went upstairs and looked around, only to find that no one was there.
Could it be that he is still in the army?
It's not impossible.
Bai Wei still felt something was wrong, so she prepared to go downstairs.
It will be better in the future, when everyone has a mobile phone. If you need anything or want to find someone, you can just make a phone call.
Bai Wei was thinking as she walked. When she went downstairs, her eyes moved to the living room and she found a piece of paper on the table.
The white paper turned a little yellow under the light, and there were a few lines of words on the clean paper.
[Weiwei, grandpa is suddenly seriously ill. I'm going to the hospital. If I come back late, you can go to the cafeteria or eat out. I will be back as soon as possible.]
Bai Wei held the paper in her hand, feeling something was wrong.
The last time I saw Lu Siting's grandfather, although the old man was seriously ill, he was in good spirits and his back was straight. You couldn't tell at all that he was already a terminal cancer patient.
The old man served as a soldier all his life, dedicated his entire youth to the motherland, participated in many battles, and is a hero in the hearts of many people.
The old scars on his body are his best achievements.
In fact, Bai Wei had only met the old man three times in total.
The first time I met the old man was when I was having dinner at Lu Siting’s house. They were not married at that time.
The second time was at a wedding. The old man sat at a table with some old comrades and they were having a great time chatting.
The third time was when I saw him at Lu’s house on my way home.
The old man was still in good spirits at that time. He was very happy to see Bai Wei. He said that if Lu Siting treated her badly, she should use her walking stick to beat him.
Bai Wei happily chatted with the old man for a while.
It’s only been a few months since we last met, so how come he suddenly became seriously ill?
Bai Wei suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and even her hands and feet became stiff.
After all, she has married Lu Siting and is his wife, as well as Grandpa Lu's granddaughter-in-law. It is reasonable for her to go and see the old man.
But - Bai Wei didn't know where the old man was hospitalized.
This is what it’s like without a mobile phone, the only way to convey messages is by mouth.
Bai Wei planned to wait until Lu Siting came back in the evening and ask about the situation, so that she could go to the hospital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
She went to the cafeteria to have dinner, and when night fell, around nine o'clock, Lu Shiting finally returned home with a tired body.
Bai Wei was sitting in the living room. When she heard the noise outside, she quickly opened the door.
This was the first time she saw Lu Siting like this. Although he didn't show any expression, he revealed a sense of fatigue from head to toe.
Bai Wei quickly poured a glass of water, then handed it to Lu Siting and asked, "How is Grandpa, is he okay?"
Lu Siting drank the water in one breath, and his hand holding the cup was shaking a little.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "Grandpa's condition has worsened recently. I'm afraid he may not make it."
Bai Wei didn't expect this result.
She looked at Lu Siting and for the first time felt that words were pale.
Not knowing how to comfort him, Bai Wei held Lu Siting's hand and said, "Are you going to the hospital tomorrow? I want to go with you."
The two people's palms were one big and one small. The white and tender little hand went into the wheat-colored big hand and held it soothingly.
Lu Siting was stunned, and suddenly hugged Bai Wei.
When he received the news in the afternoon, he rushed to the hospital without even having dinner and stayed in the hospital for four hours.
In the end, Huang Yueya drove him back home.
Lu Siting was feeling depressed and didn't like to talk, but when he saw Bai Wei, even if they just hugged each other without saying anything, he felt much better.
That night, both of them went to bed early.
Perhaps because she was worried, Bai Wei slept uneasily. When Lu Siting left in the morning, she opened her eyes in a daze and looked at him.
Lu Siting was busy these two days and had no time to cook, so Bai Wei had to eat out.
After a busy day, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Wei closed the shop and prepared to ride home.
Lu Siting also returned home at about this time, and the two finally met at home.
After making a quick meal, the two drove to the hospital at six o'clock.
Because Huang Yueya took care of the old man all night yesterday, she was sent back by the old man this morning.
In the single room, Lu Aiguo was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes a little cloudy.
When Lu Siting and Bai Wei walked in, the old man seemed to be a beat slow. He turned his head to look at the two of them, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"You guys are here. Have you eaten? Aren't you busy with work?"
Lu Siting took a step forward and sat down, holding his grandfather's hand, and whispered, "Grandpa, we've eaten."
Bai Wei also forced a smile and said softly, "Grandpa, we are not busy today and don't have much work to do, so we came to see you."
In order to make himself look good, the old man forced himself to sit still, as if nothing had happened, for fear that they would worry.
Lu Siting and Bai Wei didn't want the old man to be like this, but they were also afraid that he would get too anxious, so they just went along with what he said.
Perhaps it was because he was genuinely happy to see his grandson and his grandson's wife, the old man looked visibly better.
