After lunch, I took advantage of my father's rest and rode my bike to Zhou Ma's house with some gifts.

The person who opened the door was a man, probably Zhou Ma's son. When he saw her face, his eyes widened.

"Sorry, I lost my composure. You look so much like your mother."

"It's okay. Grandma Zhou also made a mistake when she saw me for the first time."

"Come in first."

"Mom, Fu Yu is here."

Although it was the first time they met, Zhou Ma often mentioned Song Fuyu to them and their siblings, and often brought various things to their family.

When Zhou Ma saw her, she happily took her hand.

"Grandma Zhou, I'm here to bother you again."

"I wish you would come and bother me more often. I am very happy that you can come to see an old woman like me."

"Why are you bringing so many things?"

"I still have a lot of food that you asked your dad to bring me every now and then that I haven't finished yet."

"Why don't you eat?"

"Don't be reluctant to eat it. I told you my phone number. Call me when you're done eating and I'll send it to you."

"It's too much. Keep it for yourself and don't think about us all the time."

"Don't worry about it. This is what I should do."

"When did you return to Heng City? Didn't Ziyuan go back with you?"

"I arrived last night. He was a little busy and didn't have time to come."

"How long will you stay this time?"

"It's estimated to be one and a half months."

When Zhou's mother heard that she had stayed for so long, it was obviously abnormal, so she hurriedly asked what had happened.

"My dad accidentally fell down the stairs the night before yesterday."

"Oh my goodness!"

After hearing this, Zhou Ma took a deep breath.

"How is Guoxing now?"

In the past, Zhou Ma didn’t know who the director of the famous steel plant in Heng City was until he came to deliver things to her every month and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

When Guoxing was not busy, he would usually stay and chat with her for a while, and occasionally he would eat before leaving. When Zhou's mother heard that he was injured, she suddenly became restless.

"Yongyu, quickly borrow a bicycle from the neighbor and take me to the hospital to see him."

"Grandma Zhou, please don't get excited. My dad just had surgery and needs to rest now."

"Mom, calm down first, don't rush."

"The car next door was taken away by their family early in the morning. Can I ride my bike over here in a couple of days and take you there?"

After repeated consolation from the two, Zhou Ma sat back in her chair.

"Don't worry, he's in good condition right now. He was resting when I came out."

"It rained so heavily the other day, why didn't he pay more attention?"

"Tell me the hospital and ward, and I'll go see him in two days."

"good."

"My dad will definitely be happy to know that you are going to visit him."

Without staying long at Zhou Ma's house, Song Fu Yu returned to the hospital following her numerous instructions.

"Where did you go?"

"I went to Grandma Zhou's house. She knew you were injured and wanted to come to the hospital to see you right away, but I stopped her and told her to come back in two days."

"Would you like some fruit?"

"There are apples, oranges and bananas."

"Eat oranges."

"Give one to each of the patients, who were previously cared for by some of their family members."

"Yes, right away."

After peeling the oranges, I gave one to each of the patients living there. They were all very happy to receive them and told me to just tell them if they needed help and they were welcome.

"Besides Brother Ping An and Brother Xiao Chen, has anyone from the factory come to the hospital?"

"No, I notified everyone not to come."

"Then I'll come over early to deliver the meal, and then go to the tube building to see Aunt Li and Uncle Wang."

"Go ahead."

"It's okay if you cook one less meal for me. The food in the hospital cafeteria is pretty good."

"I've been told several times a day to get you food from the canteen or state-owned restaurant. What's wrong? Is my cooking not as good as that in the canteen?"

"I'm just worried that you'll be tired."

"Don't worry!"

"Before, I worked in the village to harvest under the scorching sun and had to go home to cook and eat every morning, noon and night, but I was not exhausted. Now, how can I be exhausted with three meals a day? I am not as fragile as you think."

"Okay, I know you're the best!"

"Is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?"

"There's a black fish in the vegetables that Brother Ping'an bought this morning. I'll cook a black fish tofu soup tonight."

"How about having a light meal tonight? We already have a fish soup, so we can just stir-fry a vegetable dish."

..........

After going home and making dinner, I arrived at the hospital at five o'clock.

The family members of the patients in the next bed, just like at noon, had their eyes fixed on their lunch boxes, almost drooling.

"Director Chen, the food in your house is incredible."

"For lunch, we eat spare ribs, eggs, and chicken, and for dinner, we eat fish and tofu. It's too luxurious."

"Sister-in-law, my father has worked diligently and conscientiously in the job assigned to him by the Party and the country for the past 20 to 30 years. Now that he has been seriously injured and is lying in bed after surgery, it shouldn't be too much for him to eat something good, right?"

"A fish weighing more than one pound was only 30 or 40 cents at the supply and marketing cooperative, and with tofu costing two cents a piece and vegetables costing one cent, the total cost for the two of us was less than 50 cents."

"Of course, you may think that 50 cents is a lot, but from our point of view, 50 cents is very little."

"If this fifty cents can help him recover as soon as possible and return to work as soon as possible to continue to contribute to the country and the people, then it is worth it! It is not a luxury at all!"

She stood up and spoke to the other person in a snapping manner, which scared the other person.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Song, my wife is just a little blunt in her words and sometimes doesn't think before she speaks, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."

"It's okay. I know my sister-in-law has no bad intentions. She's just worried that if we eat too well, it will affect our image in other people's eyes. I should thank her."

"Um... hehe... you're welcome... you guys hurry up and eat, the food will get cold if you don't eat it now. I'll go get a kettle of hot water outside."

After saying that, the sister-in-law who had spoken just now left the ward awkwardly without even taking the kettle with her.

"You don't have to pay any attention to her."

Chen Guoxing said in a very small voice.

"It's not like we can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. If I don't tell her, she will stare at us every meal and read out the dishes for everyone to know. It's so annoying."

"Since she likes to talk, I can also reply. Anyway, as long as I am not embarrassed, she will be embarrassed. She feels good when she talks, and I feel good when I talk back at her. In this case, I have no choice but to make her unhappy~"

"You are naughty."

Chen Guoxing was amused by her Song theory. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

Instead of letting others cause you trouble, it is better to return the trouble to them in the same way and make yourself happy.
