Grandma sighed and pointed to her right leg, which was covered by the quilt. "I accidentally fell down when I got up this morning. I twisted my leg and heard a 'snap' sound. The bone was broken. If I had been younger, I would have just gotten up with my hands and nothing would have happened. That's why people have to accept their age. You have to accept it."
"What did the doctor say?"
"Rest for a while after the surgery."
Grandma's eyes had seen so much of the world's chaos that she could discern that the young man before her genuinely cared for her. After all, they had only met once, during that summer vacation when he came to Ganlin to visit Xia Xi. They had exchanged a few fleeting words in the restaurant. What kind of feelings could there be? He had come today simply out of love for Xia Xi, for her sake.
Thinking of this, grandma couldn't help but feel sorry for Xia Xi.
If you miss such a good person, you will never meet him again.
If it weren't for what happened at home back then, the two of them wouldn't have separated.
Xu Yanfeng lowered his eyes to glance at his watch, then stood up, as if to leave: "Rest assured, take care of yourself, and be more careful in the future. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first. I'll come see you next time."
Grandma watched Xu Yanfeng leave, blinking slowly. She dreamed of her husband again last night, and fell down when she woke up this morning. It might be an omen. Maybe one day she would close her eyes and never open them again.
What she is most worried about is this family.
Xia Xi supports the family alone, but who can support her?
Seeing Xu Yanfeng about to disappear from her sight, grandma became anxious and called out to him, "Xiao Xu!"
Xu Yanfeng heard it, stopped, turned around, walked back to the bedside, leaned forward slightly and asked: "What do you want to tell me?"
Grandma held his hand. Xu Yanfeng was puzzled, but he still held the old lady's wrinkled, dry and rough hand: "What do you need me to do? Just tell me, and I will definitely help you."
Grandma's eyes suddenly turned red and filled with tears. She was not wrong. This child had good character. He and Xia Xi were separated, but he was still willing to help.
When she passes away in the future, if he can take care of Xia Xi and make her burden less heavy, she will be able to rest in peace.
"Ziheng..." Grandma hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally said the rest of the words in one breath, "Ziheng is your child."
She went against Xixi's wishes and told the secret to Xu Yanfeng, hoping that Xixi would not blame her for being too talkative as an old woman.
