Chapter 223 This is life

Uncle Xu had a headache on his face. "Kid, I'm your son and you're just your granddaughter. I should pay for this!"

Everyone in the hospital couldn't help laughing.

The other family members were all trying to shirk responsibility, fearing that they had given too much money, but this family was vying to give more. The old lady was really lucky.

Yi Ci said depressedly, "You don't consider me a family member, right? I'll give you 10%, okay?"

"no!"

Yi Ci was speechless.

After much arguing, it was finally agreed that Xu Weilan and Xu Qingyan would give 60% together, and the third uncle and aunt would give 40%.

Yi Ci wanted to be filial to his parents, so he did not stop them and let him take charge of some other expenses.

After the agreement.

Then we started to arrange people to take turns on duty.

It is possible to hire a caregiver, but it is not as good as having family members to take care of you.

So the final decision was to hire a caregiver and have one family member accompany me.

After confirmation.

Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, and Xu Qian all went back to do their own things. Xu Qingyan drove and took Gu Ya back as well.

Xiao Zeze is hungry and needs milk, so Gu Ya can't walk too far.

So on the first day, Xu Weilan was the one guarding here.

The nurse is Sister Song. She is a very nice person. She speaks softly and is considerate and thoughtful.

Sister Song knew that Xu Weilan was pregnant and even took extra care of her.

The nurses at the Military Region Hospital have all been screened through levels of screening by the Military Region. They are basically family members of military personnel, so they are well-educated and cultured.

Xu Weilan was accompanying Old Lady Xu in the ward, and Sister Song was chatting with her, comforting her and telling her not to take it to heart.

Old Mrs. Xu is now old. When she was young, she suffered a lot and the conditions were difficult at that time. Now she can be said to be enjoying a good life.

Then Sister Song talked about her mother-in-law. She said that her mother-in-law was also a very, very good person. She used to be a lady from a wealthy family and married her father-in-law because of an arranged marriage.

When her mother-in-law married her father-in-law, her father-in-law was only seventeen and still an ignorant child. Her mother-in-law was about three years older than her father-in-law.

The elders always say that a girl who is three years older than her father-in-law is likely to be a rich man, but my father-in-law has always treated my mother-in-law as his elder sister and is very opposed to arranged marriages.

Later, for the sake of the revolution, he willfully donated all his property to the country, then he just joined the army and lived a happy life, not caring about his mother-in-law's life or death.

My penniless mother-in-law worked hard to raise her children. By this time, China had won the war, my father-in-law had become the head of a division, but my mother-in-law had fallen.

My mother-in-law was obviously brought up in a noble family. She was a well-versed lady in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had never been involved in womanizing. However, after marrying my father-in-law, she not only did not receive any love from him, but was also deeply hurt by him.

In the end, my father-in-law became successful, but my mother-in-law passed away without enjoying any of the blessings.

When talking about her own mother-in-law, Sister Song really burst into tears. It is true that the daughter-in-law chosen by a good mother-in-law is also a good daughter-in-law, who is grateful and appreciative.

Xu Weilan patted Sister Song's hand and said, "Maybe she never regretted it. At least she lives in your heart and the hearts of others."

Sister Song was stunned when she heard what Xu Weilan said.

Xu Weilan was also a little surprised when she saw Sister Song staring at her blankly, "What's wrong, Sister Song?"

Sister Song suddenly laughed and said, "My mother-in-law also said something similar. She really has no regrets because she raised my husband and my second and third uncles' three children.

Even though they grew up in the countryside and did not have a good life like their brothers and sisters who were well-educated in the city, they never complained.

It's not surprising that Sister Song's father-in-law would remarry.

Sister Song talked a lot, talking about her husband's stepmother and her husband's younger brothers and sisters.

Anyway, every family has its own problems.

The three sons born to her mother-in-law had no chance to eat well, dress well, or go to school because of the bad conditions during the war.

My mother-in-law was from a wealthy family. Although she was literate, she was busy raising three children every day and did not have much time to educate them.

So her mother-in-law's three sons never went to school and only knew a few words.

When her father-in-law became successful, the three of them had already married and had children. Fortunately, he still had a conscience and brought his third son to Dajing City, arranged a job for him, and helped support him.

However, most of the time, her father-in-law's heart is still on his younger children, because they bring him honor and he is capable of showing them off.

Some went to college, some studied abroad, and the oldest one is now a battalion commander in a military region.

In comparison, her mother-in-law's third son was not very impressive.

Among the three families, the most capable one belongs to my uncle's family. My uncle has been eloquent since he was a child. After arriving in Dajing City, he only took a sum of money and started a business.

Now that the business is successful, we live a prosperous life.

Sister Song's husband is now working as a purchasing agent in the Military Region. He is an honest man and doesn't have to go through all the twists and turns.

He has been in this purchasing position for more than ten years, working diligently and conscientiously without taking a single penny or a grain of rice from the public.

Sister Song was then able to live in the military compound and work as a nurse in the military hospital.

I have to say that after listening to other people's stories, I feel much calmer. After all, that's what life is like. There are separations of life and death, there are also all kinds of helplessness, and there is also spontaneity and freedom.

Sister Song was talking but her hands didn't stop moving.

But after chatting for a while, she gave the old lady a full body massage.

She doesn't have to do that.

But Sister Song said, "Massaging the whole body will make the elderly feel much more comfortable and stimulate blood circulation. Besides, I can't sit still, so this is just a small thing and it's not tiring."

Xu Weilan knew that it was because of Father Qin that they met such a good Sister Song.

"Sister Song, don't you need to cook at home? Are your children in school? Or?"

As far as she knows.

Sister Song is forty years old this year, and her children are probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Sister Song smiled and said, "I have a son and a daughter, twins. They have both started their own families and seldom come back.

My husband basically eats in the military canteen. He says the food is good and it doesn’t tire me out. I also eat in the canteen, which is very convenient.”

Xu Weilan nodded.

The two chatted here.

Yici just came back after completing all the formalities.

Seeing that his face was red from running, Xu Weilan immediately poured him a glass of water and said, "Second Brother Yi, you have worked hard."

Yi Ci shook his head, "It's not hard, it's not hard! I have nothing to do anyway, and my big brother will take care of the stall for me."

Xu Weilan peeled another apple for him.

Yi Ci looked at the old lady lying there, feeling a little sad. He sighed and said, "Grandma, you have to wake up early. I have to bring someone to show you."

Xu Weilan was a little gossipy, "Did she agree to be your partner?"

Yi Ci smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't say I agreed completely, but it was almost there. I even went to your school to pick you up yesterday.

As a result, you were picked up by your family first. When Xiaolian heard me say you were my sister, she wanted to meet you, saying that she had heard of your name a long time ago.

Xu Weilan was a little puzzled, "How did she hear of my name?"

Later I remembered that her home was also in a military compound.

She might have heard about it when she married Qin Yan.

After all, she came from an ordinary family, and she was able to marry into the Qin family. I don't know how many people are curious about what she looks like and what abilities she has to be able to marry into the Qin family.

Many families in the military compound were keeping an eye on the Qin family.

As a result...she, who came along halfway, got the upper hand.

Yi Ci shook his head, "I told her that you are my sister. She and I are dating, so you are her sister too!"

Xu Weilan couldn't help laughing, "You really overestimate me. I'm not that charming."

Yi Ci started praising Xu Weilan again, praising her to the sky.

It was getting dark.

Xu Weilan and Sister Song went to the cafeteria to eat together, and after the meal, they switched to Yi Ci to eat.

Then in the evening Xu Weilan and Yi Ci went back, and Xu Qingyan came to take over.

Xu Weilan will come again tomorrow during the day.

She goes back to school on Monday and Xu Qian takes over.

Xu Qian was relatively free on Monday, and they had already agreed that each person would take one day, and the male comrades would all keep watch at night.

The milk hasn't woken up in the past two days, so I have to keep a close eye on it. Once the milk wakes up, everyone should be able to relax a little.

Xu Weilan and Sister Song just arrived at the cafeteria.

I met one person.

The girl was wearing a military uniform and was with a group of girls, probably from the art troupe.

When the girl saw Sister Song, she was full of disgust.

Sister Song immediately pulled over and made way without looking at her.

The girl just walked past in such a swagger.

Then the voices of several girls talking came into my ears, "Xingxing, why don't we go out to eat? This cafeteria is so dirty with all kinds of people coming in!"

"Yes, yes, from far away, I smelled a strange smell. I can't eat this dinner."

"Xingxing, I think you should persuade your aunt not to let her do this."

Sister Song’s husband’s surname is Song, and her original surname is Yu. She loves her husband very much, and because of her traditional nature, she always asks others to call her Sister Song.

The girl with short curly hair in the lead, named Xingxing, was none other than Song Hongxing, the daughter of the Song family.

That is, the stepsister of Sister Song’s husband.

Song Hongxing was from the art troupe. She could sing and dance, and she came from a prominent family, so many people praised her. Just like Li Nannan at the time, she was the most popular person.

However, Song Hongxing is not as stupid as Li Nannan. Except when dealing with his family, he is always humble and well-behaved.

Song Hongxing hated her sister-in-law because she worked as a nurse, which, to put it bluntly, meant helping patients clean up their feces and urine, and was very dirty.

Song Hongxing has talked to her mother many times and asked her mother to take care of the matter.

Her mother fooled her into thinking so.

Song Hongxing is a good girl in front of Mr. Song, so she naturally doesn't dare to make such unreasonable requests.

In the eyes of Mr. Song, what Sister Song did was not a shameful job. She supported herself with her own hands. What was there to be ashamed of?

Boss Song felt sorry for Sister Song and said that the job was too tiring and did not allow her to do it. Sister Song refused because the job paid a lot.

She thought that she was still young and if she could earn more money, she would earn more so that she would cause less trouble to her children in the future.

But she didn't know that her work would affect her younger sister Song Hongxing.

Seeing her disgusted and resigned look, she bit her lower lip and endured it.
