Chapter 414: Is it going to be demolished?
"The operation went smoothly."
After hearing what the doctor said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This is really good news.
Song Chenlie held his hand tightly, thanked him again and again in an excited tone.
When he let go, Ernengzi went up and shook his hand again: "Doctor, I will give you a banner tomorrow."
"I have received your gratitude. After the operation, your family members must pay close attention and come for regular checkups."
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
After everyone thanked everyone one by one, they sent a few representatives to take a quick look outside.
The third uncle is still in the observation ward and will be transferred to the general ward in a few days.
The doctor rubbed his wrist. On the way back, the nurse next to him was still sighing: "This old man is so lucky. Although his family members are gone, there are still so many people who care about him."
"Good people have good luck, and the old man still has a long life ahead of him."
The third uncle was ill and had surgery, and he lost a lot of weight.
When Song Chenlie was holding someone to relieve himself, his nose felt sore and his eyes were red.
The third uncle saw me and laughed, jokingly saying, "You're already an adult, and you're still crying. I'm fine, aren't I?"
"Third Uncle, after you are discharged from the hospital, will you still go back to live in the compound?"
"Liewazi, I know you have good intentions, but I, an old man, have lived in the alley for decades.
I know exactly the ant nests hidden in the cracks between the bricks in the alley. People become nostalgic when they get old.
Besides, I'm fine now, so don't worry, I'll definitely take care of myself."
"Uncle San, in that case, I'll move in with you.
The compound is quite close to my workplace, and my parents are usually too busy with work to take care of me."
Song Chenlie's grandfather Song Huaizhang passed away this spring.
The old man knew that the Olympics would be held right next to his home, so he left with a smile on his face and no regrets.
Before leaving, he repeatedly asked him to treat his old friend, Uncle San, as his own grandfather.
Before the third uncle could say anything to refuse, Song Chenlie continued, "Third uncle, I will always remember when grandpa was taken away.
There was no food at home. I was so hungry that I ran out to rummage through the trash can and almost got bitten by a dog.
It was you who brought me home when I was dirty and smelly, fed me, clothed me, and let me eat big meat buns."
I felt a little embarrassed when I said the last sentence.
The third uncle looked at Song Chenlie with the sparkling eyes, and his heart felt hot and warm.
"Kid, if you don't mind me being an old man, then come and live with me."
There is one more worker in the compound who goes to work and comes home on time.
"Third Uncle, we have already agreed that the doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
I heard from Sister Tong that the store hasn’t been open for a while, and Goudan and the other kids have saved up their pocket money but have nowhere to spend it…”
After the third uncle recovered and was discharged from the hospital, he returned to the compound with Song Chenlie. As soon as the car stopped, people from the compound came out.
Gao Xiulan stood at the door holding a basin of water and said, "Now that we're home, get rid of the bad luck first."
The basin is filled with washed mugwort leaves, pomelo leaves and pomelo peels.
The third uncle did as he was told, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Er Nengzi led the applause: "Good!"
Goudan, who was squeezed next to Xie Yi's legs, quickly clapped and cheered.
Guoqing glanced at his father. Sometimes he really had to admire his father's good luck.
He just made his mom angry last month and his pocket money was stopped.
And because he sent the third uncle to the hospital in time this morning, his mother gave his father an increase in pocket money.
Lin Xiaotong had just driven back from the hospital to pick someone up, and she also washed her hands.
He took the towel handed to him by Xie Yi and wiped himself. Just as he was about to talk to Gao Xiulan, he caught a glimpse of a white ball at Chengzi's feet.
"Mom, when did we get another cat in our yard?"
Gao Xiulan almost burst out laughing: "Hey, where's the new cat? This is Xiaobai!"
The third uncle adjusted his reading glasses and took a closer look.
Is this still his cat? How come it's twice as big as before he went to the hospital?
"Is this Xiaobai? Let grandpa take a look. Oh my goodness, how did you get so fat?"
Xiaobai probably knew that someone was talking about him, so he covered his face with his paws and hid behind Orange's legs, refusing to come out.
Guan Lamei felt a little guilty: "Ahem, my Meiqiu brought Xiaobai back home.
As I fed it, the cat suddenly grew bigger."
I originally thought that Xiaobai would just wander around the alleys like before, and that he would digest more quickly if he ate more.
Unexpectedly, when the third uncle was not at home, Xiaobai did not go anywhere. He sat on the stone pier at the gate of the courtyard every day, staring at the entrance of the alley.
The cat's legs appear shorter visually after becoming fatter, which used to be lean and strong.
Now Xiaobai and his elder brother Meiqiu are sitting together, just like two real brothers.
Xiaobai drooped his ears, revealing his chubby face, raised his tail, and meowed at Uncle Three.
Xie Da Jiao said something for the cat: "It's okay, I weighed Xiaobai a few times and found that his fatness was just puffiness.
Then take him to a few houses to catch mice. He'll lose weight if he jumps around more."
The third uncle waved his hand, and Xiaobai walked in front with his tail wagging.
The two people and the cat entered the house, and the south door of the store opened again.
Goudan, clutching the coins in his hand, led his friends in jumping and skipping to buy things.
"Third Uncle, long time no see. I miss you so much!"
…
Since the successful bid for the Olympic Games, there are more people wearing sportswear on the streets.
The playful child called out "Grandpa", and several old men wearing the same sportswear turned around.
The child opened his eyes wide, looked left and right, and finally burst into tears.
"Wow, why do all the grandpas look the same? Who is my grandpa?"
Now that we are advocating national fitness, more and more people are getting up early in the morning to do morning exercises in the park.
Playing diabolo, practicing Tai Chi, swinging on the horizontal bar, practicing Chinese calligraphy, fancy rope skipping, kicking shuttlecock, playing table tennis...
Even the elderly uncles and aunts have unique skills.
The foreigners who came over to watch the fun had their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in them.
When they saw something exciting, they clapped their hands and praised in broken Chinese: "You all know Chinese Kung Fu!"
Gao Xiulan joined the rope skipping team, and Xie Dajiao was playing diabolo with his old friends.
Lin Xiaotong came over holding Xie Yi's hand and felt the energy of everyone's active exercise.
She said: "When we retire, we will come here to exercise like our parents did."
Xie Yi grinned: "Okay, when we can't walk anymore, we can push the wheelchair over to watch others play."
The clear and melodious chirping of birds rang out in the park, and she took a deep breath.
"I really can't imagine myself by then. Will I become a little old lady with wrinkles all over my face?"
"That's also the most beautiful little old lady in my heart."
He discovered that people like to brag and show off when they get old.
For example, Comrade Lao Xie always likes to brag to his friends who play diabolo about how much his mother Gao Xiulan loves him.
His mother had made a colorful string for the family during the Dragon Boat Festival. He saw Lao Xie wearing the bracelet when he went out the next morning.
Even with my eyes closed, I could guess that he was going out to show off.
Lin Xiaotong leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You too."
Xie Yi raised his chin and patted his pocket: "Wife, are you running out of the lipstick you bought earlier?
I just received my manuscript fee. Let’s go shopping when we have time.”
"Sure, I also want to buy you a shirt."
Gao Xiulan was sweating profusely after jumping rope, and she wiped her face with the towel she brought with her.
Listening to the gossip of teammates.
"Hey, have you heard? Yu'er Hutong is going to be demolished!"
"I heard about it. I even took a detour to go over there and take a look. The word 'demolition' was written on the wall."
"Then it's true."
"We've lived in this compound for decades. If it's really demolished, where will we live in the future?"
"Didn't you say you can ask for money or a house?"
"Hey, if your house was demolished, what would you choose between the money and the house?"
