"Also, tell Yuxiu not to come over now. I'm sick. Even though she's a doctor, there are always omissions. Adults have stronger resistance than children. I'm afraid she'll go back and pass it on to the children. You must tell them this." Yan Guofeng insisted.
Wang Daya smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll definitely convey it to Comrade Zhong."
"That's right. The children are still young, and we have to put them first. We can't do whatever we want. I'm an old man who has lived such a long life, and there is nothing to regret even if I die." When that day really comes, his only regret is that he will not be able to see his three great-grandchildren get married and have children.
Yan Rushan handed over a cup of hot water, and the old man took a sip. "I don't need you to take care of me here anymore. Go take a shower and go see the children. You haven't seen the children since I woke up. It's all up to Yuxiu to do it all by herself. As a husband, you do it all. If it were me, I would make you kneel on the washboard."
Yan Rushan: ...It's really weird, grandpa knows more and more about these kinds of jokes about young people.
"Grandpa, you think too much."
"That's right. Yuxiu is such a gentle person, there's no way she would make you kneel on a washboard." Yan Guofeng said with a very understanding look, "If your grandmother were still alive, she might really make you kneel on a washboard."
Yan Rushan asked, "Are you saying that grandma isn't gentle enough?"
"I didn't say that." Yan Guofeng changed the subject. "Your grandmother was a very gentle person, considerate and understanding. She was also very conscious. When I was away fighting, she took care of everything at home, working and taking care of your father at the same time. Otherwise, your grandmother wouldn't have passed away so early. If she had lived to this age, we would at least have had a companion and could have enjoyed the blessings of children and grandchildren."
Yan Guofeng became more and more sad as he spoke, and his eyes became red; when people are seriously ill, they always tend to think too much, and they always like to think of their spouse.
When Wang Daya saw this, she hurriedly nodded to Yan Rushan and turned away.
Yan Rushan handed him a towel and said, "Grandpa, if he could live to this age, he would still take care of his great-grandson. Don't think too much about it. You are still with your great-grandson all day long."
What's the point of thinking about it? Grandma has passed away, and thinking about it now will only add to my worries.
"You unfilial son, get out of here quickly. I get angry when I see you." The good atmosphere was completely destroyed by the brat's two words. So, what's the point of using your sons and grandsons?
Yan Rushan didn't know what the old man was thinking, otherwise, he would have replied to him: His son can give him grandchildren, and only with grandchildren can you have great-grandchildren.
Yan Rushan had already walked out of the room and bumped into Wang Daya. "Comrade Wang, why are you still here?"
"I'll wait here for a while. I want to ask how the old man is doing. Do you want to call a doctor? The old man's face looks paler than the children's." Wang Daya said seriously and sincerely.
Yan Rushan shook his head. "No, the fever is gone. He'll recover soon with the medicine Yuxiu prescribed. Are the children recovered now?"
"The children look listless. Comrade Zhong is with them in the main room. They look much better than the old man, but the old man is old after all." No one has a strong recovery ability as a child, even after taking the repair fluid.
Yan Rushan nodded and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the main hall to check on the children."
"OK."
Wang Daya watched Yan Rushan leave, turned her head to look at the old man's room, then turned back and left the backyard to help in the kitchen.
"Comrade Gong, Comrade Gu, Comrade Fang, Comrade Feng, is the food ready?" Wang Daya asked loudly.
The four people busy in the kitchen turned their heads and looked over. Gong Zhaodi smiled and said, "It's almost done. I'm washing the dishes. Sister Wang, why did you come here when you weren't in the main room taking care of the children?"
"Comrade Zhong is watching in the main hall. I came over to see if there's anything I can help with. Comrade Zhong and the others must be hungry. They've been busy all day and they're exhausted." Wang Daya said, "Comrade Zhong and Comrade Yan are tired after a busy day."
Gong Zhaodi nodded. "It's tiring, but it can't be helped. The children are sick, and I have to use more energy than before to take care of them."
"It's because we didn't pay attention when we left this morning. Next time, go out to buy vegetables or meat, etc. alone. I'm still scared after this incident. If Comrade Zhong hadn't discovered it early, we would have committed a sin."
Wang Daya spoke so frankly that Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong were at a loss for words. The two of them were taking care of the children, but they had to wait until Comrade Zhong and the others got up before they discovered that the children were sick. If it had been another hour or two later, the children would probably have been burned to death.
"No more talking, let's serve the food first."
Wang Daya helped to serve the dishes and bowls, and soon dinner was delivered to the table in the main hall in the backyard; Yan Rushan delivered the meal to the old man alone, and Wang Daya and others delivered the children's supplementary food to the main hall.
"I'll do it." After taking the complementary food from Wang Daya's hand, Zhong Yuxiu sat back on the mattress; the sons rushed over one after another, not knowing whether it was their natural trust in their mother or the temptation of the food that played a role.
The three little guys rushed over and screamed, occasionally accompanied by a cry of "Mom".
Zhong Yuxiu looked up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Yan Rushan, come over and pick one up to feed. You're tugging at me like this and I can't feed him."
"You usually love them so much, but you still have to call me at the critical moment." Yan Rushan seemed to be complaining, but his handsome face was smiling. "I won't bother with you this time. You must love me more in the future."
"What are you talking about?" Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him and her ears felt hot.
Wang Daya and others chuckled and walked away, and Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong and others were no exception.
Wang Daya walked around the corridor for a long time before she found the two newcomers. "Captain Yu, you're here! I've been looking for you for a while."
"What's wrong?" Captain Yu turned around expressionlessly, and the people around him also stared at Wang Daya.
Wang Daya felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Dinner is already on the table, we can eat now. I wonder if your teammates have returned yet. The host family has been busy all day and must be hungry. If they haven't returned, I'll give them some extra food first."
"Not yet. Thank you for your help, comrade."
Wang Daya nodded and led the group to the main hall. She met with Yan Rushan and the others, saying, "Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, Comrade Gu, Fang Guozhong, Dasha. This is Captain Yu and his teammate. There were originally two more, but they went out to buy bedding and daily necessities. I guess they won't be back for a while."
"Hello, my name is Yu Zhengchu. I was born on the first day of the first lunar month. My parents named me Yu Zhengchu." Captain Yu started by introducing himself. The people around him smiled and nodded at everyone without saying a word.
Yan Rushan observed them inconspicuously. The captain was a strong and sturdy man, full of righteousness; the man who followed him still had a childish face and looked okay.
"Hello, my name is Yan Rushan, and I'm Yuxiu's husband. You can call me Mr. Yan or Comrade Yan."
"Hello, Mr. Yan."
