"What a shit situation!"

Chen Guoxing picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, with an obvious expression of anger on his face.

"You are so angry that if someone didn't know, they would think there was something wrong between you two."

To be honest, her first impression of the aunt was not very good. She always felt that she had a kind of false flattery in her attitude, mixed with some shrewdness and calculation. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but it made her feel a little uncomfortable.

All in all, I just don't want to have any contact with her.

But if her father likes her, she won't show it even if she doesn't like him.

"There's no way I'll ever have anything to do with her in my life."

"Could it be you?"

"It's hard for me not to think too much when you keep your words to yourself like this!"

Song Fuyu seemed to want to force Chen Guoxing to say something. Only after he made it clear would she know what attitude she should use when he came to her house again.

Judging from the fact that she wanted to stay and help with cooking today, today will definitely not be her last time to come.

"She is just an ordinary employee on the factory production line."

"Her husband is gone?"

This was just her guess.

"Well, she died of illness in July. Now she lives with her two children and her parents-in-law."

"Okay, I understand."

Her husband has passed away and she is supporting a large family alone. It is inevitable that she will need to find someone else to rely on.

This is not a bad thing in itself. The bad thing is that my husband died so recently, only about three months ago.

If my dad were with her, he would probably be drowned in gossip from everyone, and there might even be rumors that the two of them had been hooking up for a long time.

"I have long given up the desire to find a partner. If I really wanted to find one, I wouldn't have to wait until now."

"Now that I have a daughter like you, I don't want to look for it anymore, and I won't look for it anymore."

If he looks for another one, Xiaoyu might become a very embarrassing existence in the family, and it would be a question whether the other party could tolerate her.

"I will just continue to work hard now. When I retire, I will live with you and help you take care of the children."

"By the time you step down, my children will probably be in junior high school!"

"Then why not have more children? There will always be smaller ones. It's not like we can't afford to raise them."

"......"

She can no longer have children whenever she wants. The family planning policy was implemented in September 1982. Even if she wants to have children, she can't, especially for someone like Ziyuan who works in a government-funded job.

...........

At ten o'clock the next morning, the father and daughter went downstairs to bask in the sun and returned to the ward. They saw Zhou's mother and her eldest son Kong Yongyu waiting by the bed.

Not only did the two of them bring gifts for the visit, but Zhou's mother also personally stewed a pot of chicken soup and put it in the lunch box. She also wrapped herself in an old cotton coat to prevent herself from getting cold.

"Guoxing, are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to you, I feel much better now."

Song Fuyu helped Zhou Ma sit down on a stool, then borrowed a stool from a patient in the same ward and gave it to Kong Yongyu.

"I'm sorry, this is the only condition the hospital has. I'll go to my home and treat you well next time I have the chance."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if we sit or not. The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself and recover quickly."

"Look at you, you are such a grown-up, why are you still so careless! You should walk slower next time."

"Don't worry, I will pay more attention next time."

Zhou's mother and son did not stay long. After about half an hour, they asked to go home.

"Xiao Yu, please deliver it for me."

"No need. Fu Yu, you stay in the ward to take care of your father. Your uncle Yong Yu and I know the way."

Despite saying so, Song Fuyu still sent them to the hospital entrance before going upstairs again.

"I just had some chicken soup. I'll go to the cafeteria later to get two lighter dishes. I won't go back to cook today."

"Okay, I can do anything."

On the way to the hospital cafeteria, we were accompanied by the family members of two other patients.

"Comrade Xiao Song, you two have a really good relationship as father and daughter."

"Because my father is good to me, I am also good to him. The feelings are mutual."

"By the way, why don't you take your father's last name, Chen?"

Several people in the ward were very curious about this question. They had wanted to ask it for a long time, but because Chen Guoxing was there, they were too embarrassed to ask.

"You misunderstood. I am not my father's biological daughter. He adopted me, but he treats me no differently than his biological daughter."

She knew that everyone must be very curious, especially when they called her Comrade Chen and she corrected them that her last name was Song instead of Chen. They seemed to want to ask at that time, but Dad was there, so they all had to suppress their curiosity.

"ah?"

"Are your own parents gone?"

"My mother used to work at a steel mill, but she died of an inexplicable illness when I was three years old. Not long after that, my biological father married my pregnant stepmother and brought back a sister who was one year older than me."

“Hiss~~”

"This...this is...but..."

"You're a hooligan!"

"Whether it was hooliganism or not, I'm not sure, but the relevant state authorities have given me the most fair explanation."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the two people next to her had obviously guessed what the general explanation was.

It's nothing more than being arrested and sent to labor camp or sent to some place. There will always be a suitable destination for these people.

"It's okay, kid. You're lucky to have Director Chen as your father."

"Why..."

Song Fuyu sighed helplessly.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?"

Her sigh and hesitation to speak soon aroused the curiosity of people around her.

"It's not that it's inconvenient to say it, I just suddenly thought of my grandparents and felt a little sad."

"Your grandparents? Are they still alive?"

If she was still alive, why would she let an outsider adopt her own granddaughter instead of taking her home to raise her herself?

"Still, but I haven't seen them much since I was a kid."

"They didn't seem to like me very much. I heard from our neighbors that before my mother passed away, they almost never came to see me. They must have disliked me because I was a girl."

"Alas, some people are like this, they favor boys over girls."

As outsiders, they couldn't say anything about this.

"After my biological father married my stepmother, she and her step-sister often beat me. I had to do all the laundry and cooking at home, and they didn't allow me to live in my room or go to school. I wanted to ask my grandparents for help, but when they found out, I was beaten again."

"What's even worse is that they not only took over the job my biological mother left for me, but also signed me up as an educated youth without my knowledge."

"Because of this incident, I had an argument with them. Not only was I beaten, but I was also pushed down and had my head broken. If my father hadn't taken me to the hospital for treatment, I would have died long ago."

After saying this, she forced two tears out of her eyes.
