Chapter 206: Is it time to give out the New Year’s money?
Li Guifen then noticed them coming, and her hand that was wiping the old man's mouth suddenly became lighter.
"Yeah, Runde is here?"
He put down the medicine bowl in his hand, stood up and walked over.
Zhou Runde nodded and stood beside the bed.
"Dad, Happy New Year! I've brought Xiu'e, Tingyue, and Tingyue's wife to see you!"
When Mr. Zhou heard his voice, his cloudy eyeballs moved. When he saw that it was really him, he obviously became more energetic.
He even struggled to sit up.
Li Guifen was so angry that she muttered, "You'd better lie down quickly. Why are you getting up? Don't you think it's troublesome enough..."
Before she could finish her words, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat when she saw Zhou Runde's cold eyes.
Zhou Tingyue also stepped forward to help Mr. Zhou sit up.
"Grandpa, I'm back to see you!"
Mr. Zhou was obviously happier to see him.
"Yes... Tingyue, good... good boy... Grandpa, I haven't seen you for several years..."
Hearing him speaking out of breath, Zhou Tingyue frowned immediately.
Shen Xiu'e also sensed something was wrong, and turned to ask Li Guifen, "When did Dad become so seriously ill? He can hardly even speak?"
Li Guifen rolled her eyes.
"What's serious? He's just hungry. You're not here to serve him, so you don't know that your dad has been paralyzed since he caught a cold and had a fever last time. He can't get out of bed. He lies in bed all day long. He has to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed. If he's well fed, he'll defecate several times a day. This room is so stinky that no one can even enter!"
Upon hearing her words, Shen Xiu'e and Zhou Runde's faces suddenly turned dark.
Even Song Shiwei found it a little unbelievable.
Her idea is really weird. In order to clean up less, she won’t give the old man food?
As the saying goes, man is iron and rice is steel, and he will be hungry if he doesn't eat for a meal.
The sicker a person is, the more nutritious food he should eat so that he can get better faster!
No food for you? Isn't this just wishing people to die early?
Although Li Guifen didn't want to serve, Song Shiwei could understand, after all, she was not a good person.
But seeing Mr. Zhou's current appearance, her father-in-law must be feeling bad too.
Even though Mr. Zhou had indeed treated him badly when he was young, he was still his father after all.
When Mr. Zhou got sick, he probably remembered the good things about Zhou Runde and his mother. He kept saying, "If only Juanzi were here. When you were a kid, your mother loved you so much. When I went out to work, she would keep the house clean..."
Hearing him mention the woman who had died eight hundred years ago, Li Guifen felt so angry that her liver ached.
"You dislike me now, don't you? I, I dislike you too! You old fool! You have no conscience......"
But Zhou Tingyue glared at her and she quickly shut up.
Song Shiwei also came forward with her four children to greet him.
"Hello, great grandfather!"
Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, Zhou Wei, and Xin Xin rushed forward to surround his bed and shouted "Hello, great grandfather!"
Old Master Zhou had heard about Zhou Tingyue's affairs before, and to be honest, he had also lamented a few times. After all, he was his own grandson and the most promising one.
It was impossible for him not to worry.
Now I see that the children are obedient and sensible, and my granddaughter-in-law is also a good person.
Especially this belly, which looks like it is about to give birth. He is even happier in his heart, as he knows that his eldest grandson will have someone to carry on his legacy in the future!
I felt a lot more relieved immediately.
When people reach the final moment, they can let go of everything.
Li Guifen treated him well in the past and he was also good-looking, but she did not educate her children well. The two sons she gave birth to later were more troublesome than the last.
The grandchildren being taught nowadays are even worse than the children Zhou Tingyue adopted. They only know how to snatch food all day long and imitate their parents. They are so unfilial!
Once, he was so hungry that he finally climbed onto the table and took an apple to eat. However, the eldest grandson of the third brother saw him, not only snatched the apple from him, but also kicked him and called him an old man.
He was completely exhausted and had to hold on to the table to walk over slowly.
He pushed me so hard that I fell backwards.
In an instant, his eyes turned red. He lay on the ground, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window and listening to the laughter of her family, but his heart was extremely sad.
He also misses his eldest son very much!
His most capable son should have been the pride of their Zhou family, but he was blinded by greed and drove him out of the house.
The more he thought about it, the more upset Mr. Zhou felt, and he finally burst into tears.
So, he asked someone to tell Zhou Runde that he missed him and wanted him to come back.
Zhou Runde did come and brought a lot of goodies, but in the end they all went into the mouths of Li Guifen and the others.
Let him go in. He will be happier than anything else to see his son, grandson and granddaughter-in-law!
At this time, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Sun also came in carrying things.
Li Guifen's eyes lit up when she saw it!
They are all good stuff. Look at that box of Moutai liquor and two cans of Dahongpao. These are Mr. Zhou’s favorites.
This kid Zhou Runde really loves his father!
It is also possible that he is a high-ranking official with a lot of money and doesn’t care about these things at all!
Then I looked at the cans of malted milk, canned fruit, a big pork leg, and many more. I couldn’t tell what they were.
But they are definitely all good things!
Li Guifen rubbed her hands excitedly.
I hope we can have another prosperous new year this year!
Zhou Runde naturally saw her expression. He glanced at her coldly and asked Zhou Tingyue to move the box of Moutai and two cans of Dahongpao to the bed.
"Dad, I know you usually like these little things, drink a little wine, make some tea, this is what I brought specially for you! They are all the best, you can try them later!"
When he saw those things, Mr. Zhou's eyes became red again.
It was his eldest son who knew that he was concerned about him! !
At this time, Zhou Liang, Zhou Dazhuang and Zhou Erhong came over with their wives and children.
As soon as I saw the table full of gifts, I was so happy!
Pushing his son and daughter forward.
"Hurry up and kowtow to Grandpa and Grandma, and wish them a Happy New Year!"
The three children took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Zhou Runde and Shen Xiu'e.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!!"
Seeing this scene, Shen Xiu'e couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Coincidentally, Lu Yuhua and Wang Cuizhi also lifted the door curtain and prepared to come over to watch the show.
"Hey, you kids, why are you so eager to kowtow to your great grandfather and great grandmother to ask for New Year's money? Do you want to take the money and go out to buy candy with the kids next door?"
These words were definitely meant to deliberately remind Zhou Runde and Shen Xiu'e that the children have already knelt down and kowtowed to you, so shouldn't they be given New Year's money?
