"Dahai took the day off today. His mother is sick and hospitalized, and his wife can't take care of her by herself, so he went to help."
Su He already knew that Sun Dahai, despite being younger than Li Yi and only twenty years old this year, was already married and had a child.
But she didn't know much about his family.
It was only when he saw her confusion that Li Yi told her.
It turns out that Sun Dahai's mother was once a nanny in a wealthy family, and it is said that she was very popular with her employers because of her delicious cooking.
Sun Dahai grew up in a wealthy family with his mother. When he was fifteen, he was recommended by his employer to serve in the army for a few years because he was taller than average.
But later, due to an accident, their team made a mistake during the mission, and because he was honest and had no connections, he became the scapegoat and was forced to retire from the army.
After returning from military service, Sun's mother was injured while shielding her employer from a fatal wound, rendering her unable to work.
In gratitude, the family got him a job at the police station, which is why he, a country boy from out of town, was able to get a job at a police station in Beijing.
Currently, his mother and wife also live with him in Beijing.
It is said that the mother and son no longer have any relatives in their hometown. In addition, the villagers in their hometown had been bullying them before they came out, so the mother and son did not want to go back. Although life in Beijing is a bit tough, Sun Dahai is a formal employee and receives a salary every month, which is enough to support the mother and son.
However, due to his previous injury, Sun's mother's health had been poor, so he got married early in order to take care of her.
His wife's family is also from the countryside. Although she is not very educated, she is a good person and takes good care of her sick mother-in-law without complaint. With her around, Sun Dahai can work with peace of mind.
Since getting married and having children, Sun's mother seems to be in a better mood and her health has improved considerably. She helps take care of the children, and his wife can also do odd jobs to supplement the family income. They are living a pretty good life.
But for some reason, Sun's mother was hospitalized this time. Li Yi usually had a good relationship with Sun Dahai, so he was a little worried.
Su He sighed upon hearing this, never expecting that Sun Dahai, who was usually so cheerful, had such an experience.
He immediately said, "Now that we know, let's go visit them during our lunch break." After all, they're colleagues, and it wouldn't be right not to go once they found out.
Li Yi replied, "Team Leader Yu just told me that we should go together at noon and chip in to buy some things."
Su He nodded in agreement.
At noon, after the two had lunch, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used the money that everyone had pooled together to buy a bag of brown sugar and a bag of pastries before going to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the inpatient department, we could see Sun Dahai carrying a basin of water towards the ward from afar.
The two went over to greet them, and Sun Dahai was surprised to see them, saying, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong at the station?" He sounded a little anxious.
Li Yi smiled and stepped forward, patting him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, everything's fine at the institute. We're here on behalf of our colleagues to visit your mother. By the way, is your mother alright?"
Sun Dahai was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Thank you. My mother is fine. It's just that the weather has changed recently, and she's a little weak. She'll be fine after a few days in the hospital and then she can go back and rest."
Hearing him say that, the two felt relieved and followed him into the ward.
