Xiao Chen has been living with her since he was less than a month old. He has grown from a baby in her arms to an adult who is now 185cm tall.
The affection between the grandparents and grandchildren cannot be expressed in words.
"Grandma Wu, this is my gift." Xu Dachui presented a few supplements.
"Thank you." Grandma Wu said with a smile.
"I have one too." The gift Song Ziyan gave was quite expensive.
A bucket of top-quality Dendrobium, which is an excellent tonic. Adding some to it when cooking porridge or soup is good for the body.
"Okay, thank you everyone." Grandma Wu smiled from ear to ear.
The old lady had never celebrated her birthday before. This was her first time, and she was celebrating it with her most beloved grandson and his classmates, which made her very happy.
Light the candles and sing birthday song.
Xiao Chen said, "Grandma, can you make a wish?"
"Okay." Grandma Wu clenched her hands and closed her eyes.
Make a wish silently, imitating the way people make wishes on TV.
Then everyone blew out the candles together.
"Grandma, what wish did you make?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Won't it be ineffective if you say it out loud?" Grandma Wu asked.
"It may not work for others, but it will definitely work for grandma." Song Ziyan said with a giggle.
"My wish is that all the little ones who came to celebrate my birthday today will grow up safely, find the ones they love, and live happily forever."
Grandma Wu said with a smile, her eyes falling on Xiao Chen and Song Ziyan.
The two of them were stunned and looked at each other involuntarily.
Their eyes met, and then they both turned away as if they had been electrocuted.
The atmosphere became subtle at this moment.
Xu Dachui covered his eyes and looked around as if he was looking for something.
"What sledgehammer are you looking for?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I'm looking for some dog food so I can stuff it into my mouth," said Xu Dachui.
"Okay, let's eat." Grandma Wu said with a smile.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll go open the door." Xiao Chen ran out and opened the gate of the yard.
The moment he opened the door, he was stunned to see Father Xiao standing at the door holding some fruit.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Chen's tone was full of displeasure.
The Xiao family is never done yet, right?
"I came to see your grandma." Father Xiao raised the thing in his hand.
Some fruits bought from the roadside.
After Xiao Yuanhe got married, he left his grandmother at home and never took care of her.
He hasn't been able to go back to see his grandmother for several years. Can he remember his old mother now?
It was grandma's birthday, and Xiao Chen didn't want to make things awkward, so he moved aside to make way.
Father Xiao walked in, but he was not in a hurry to go in.
Instead, he looked at Xiao Chen deeply and said, "Your brother is fine, don't worry."
"I'm worried? Are you mistaken?" Xiao Chen was a little puzzled.
This is just making small talk. Why is he worried about Xiao Ming?
That green tea girl pretended to be sick to escape yesterday. Everyone could see it, but this couple couldn't see it?
"I just went to your school." Father Xiao hesitated and said, "I also asked your teacher about your grades."
"You really got first place in the city, I..."
"So, are you here to see my grandma, or are you here to tell me this nonsense?"
Xiao Chen said coldly: "If you are here to see my grandma, leave as soon as you are done."
"If you're here to tell me this nonsense, then don't bother. I don't want to listen."
Father Xiao was in a surprisingly good mood today.
Even if Xiao Chen talked back to him impatiently, he could still speak calmly.
He has always had a bad temper, especially towards Xiao Chen. He would get violent if he was not satisfied.
"I just stopped by to see how you were doing."
Father Xiao looked at the courtyard. It was quite clean, but certainly not as clean and bright as his villa.
"You live here?"
"I live with my grandma. Even though we live on the overpass, I still feel like it's a palace." Xiao Chen said coldly.
"You... go home." Father Xiao looked at Xiao Chen and said this with a complicated expression.
"Go back with your grandma. After all, your home is a villa, big enough for you to live in."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen looked at his father warily. Has Xiao Yuanhe changed his personality today?
"I don't mean anything by that. I'm just worried that you won't have a good life out there." Father Xiao explained.
"You're worrying too much. I'm living very well."
Xiao Chen sneered and said, "No one calls me a disaster star, no one frames me, and I don't have to be so cautious to please anyone."
"So if you're fine, just leave. You're not welcome here." Xiao Chen pointed outside.
"Mom..." Father Xiao did not go out. When he saw Grandma Wu coming out, he hurried to meet her.
"What are you doing here?" Grandma Xiao got angry when she saw Father Xiao.
"What did you say when you took Xiaochen away? You said Xiaochen was your biological son and you would treat him well."
"But he was kicked out by you guys less than half a year after he came to your place?"
Grandma Xiao was very angry. Thinking of Xiao Chen's helpless appearance when he was driven away, she said in a trembling voice, "He's still just a child."
"He is also your son, why are you so cruel to him?"
"Mom, no, I..." Father Xiao wanted to explain.
"Grandma, it's your birthday today. Don't be angry, be happy." Xiao Chen stepped forward and supported his grandmother.
"It's all in the past. There's no point in talking about it again. We just need to live happily from now on. Let's go in."
Grandma Wu nodded, glared at Father Xiao, and ignored him.
"Mom, I brought you some fruit." Father Xiao quickly handed over the fruit in his hand.
"I won't eat it. I can't digest it. Go home and let your wife eat it." Grandma Xiao shook her hand away angrily and strode into the house.
Xiao's father had no choice but to live separately from his mother after getting married.
Moreover, he didn't go back to see the old lady for several years because Xiao's mother was domineering and didn't get along with his mother-in-law.
He has not fulfilled his filial duties at all over the years.
Looking at his son's back, he felt mixed emotions.
I didn't expect that my son, who has always been neglected, would have such good grades.
Now he wants to try to repair his relationship with Xiao Chen, but it seems a little too late.
Xiao Ming stayed in the hospital for a day and then went home. He underwent a series of examinations, but no problems were found.
He just lay on the bed, his eyes closed, weak and powerless.
The doctor consulted for a long time, then said helplessly to Xiao's mother: "Why don't you go to the psychiatric department?"
"Psychiatry? My son is not a psychiatrist." Xiao's mother suddenly became excited.
"That's not what I meant. I meant you should check if your son has depression or something." The doctor explained, "Because he's in good health, there's nothing wrong with him."
"So there's no point in staying here any longer."
After the doctor finished speaking, he left, leaving Xiao's mother alone in a daze.
"Mom, I'm fine. Let's go home." At this moment, Xiao Ming on the hospital bed suddenly spoke.
