Chapter 1468: Something Is Wrong with the Old Man
At this time, it was almost the late 1970s and early 1980s.
In the entire Zhai family, apart from the tomboy Zhai Hua, there was only one female, Miao Jing. Miao Jing was bullied by Qi Minlan and didn't even have a friend to talk to. Perhaps because she was stimulated too much by Qi Minlan, after Grandpa Zhai came out of the sadness of Grandma Zhai's early death, Miao Jing simply handed the two children to Grandpa Zhai to take care of, and followed Zhai Yaohui, holding the airs of the wife of the chief, flying all over the country, accompanying Zhai Yaohui on business trips.
The days of the Zhai family at that time were really not as glorious as outsiders saw.
When Grandpa Zhai mentioned it today, he didn't want to say anything else, but just remembered the expression of Grandma Zhai crying when he was injured. Who would have thought that Grandpa Zhai, who had fought in wars and crossed snowy mountains, lived to be over 80 years old, and his three great-grandchildren were all in elementary school, but Grandma Zhai only had time to see the birth of her two grandchildren before she passed away.
Grandpa Zhai is already old. When he was old, he said that it is rare for a person to live to be seventy. Moreover, Grandpa Zhai, an old revolutionary, is already over eighty years old, so his life span is really long.
Today, everyone in the Zhai family felt uneasy when they heard Grandpa Zhai always mention the things when Grandma Zhai passed away.
Grandpa Zhai, who made others uneasy, was not aware of it at all. After reading it, Grandpa Cui put away his expression. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he even stopped eating: "Why are you looking at me? Could it be that a flower has bloomed on my old face? When people get old, it is normal to like to reminisce about the past. Okay, hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, you will scare the three babies away and dare not move your chopsticks."
The three babies are still young, and Grandpa Zhai doesn't think that the three babies can understand anything. They must be affected by the emotions of adults.
Miao Liang looked at Zhai Yaohui worriedly. The old man has always been healthy and energetic. The problem is that the old man is so old. After hearing what the old man said before his mother-in-law passed away, she felt so cold in her heart, like a bad omen.
Zhai Yaohui patted the back of Miao Liang's hand and told Miao Liang not to worry: "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what the old man said? The weather is still hot now, and cold dishes are not as delicious as hot dishes. Dabao, eat more." Zhai Yaohui was also worried about the old man, but at this time, Zhai Yaohui could not say anything or ask anything.
After dinner, the old man was the first one to go back to the room to rest. Qiao Nan first served the three children and let them sleep on their own. Qiao Nan went to Zhai Sheng with concern: "Brother Zhai, you said the old man is fine, why did he mention the past. Otherwise, you accompany the old man tonight?"
When there are elderly people in the family, especially when the elderly have such behavior, under normal circumstances, how can the young people in the family settle down to sleep late.
"Okay." Qiao Nan didn't say it, and Zhai Sheng also had this plan. When he was a child, Zhai Sheng had the most memories of Grandpa Zhai's back. Seeing Grandpa Zhai's happy and sad look every time he mentioned Grandma Zhai, Zhai Sheng's heart was very complicated and conflicted.
If possible, he didn't want to be like his grandfather, who was controlled by a woman. After this woman was gone, his grandfather almost lost the motivation to continue living. This was too terrible for Zhai Sheng, who had always been calm and rational, and it was a terrible process that was unimaginable.
He couldn't accept it at all. One day, he would be like his grandfather, thinking about a woman day and night, and considering the other's safety more important than his own life. After losing the company of his grandmother, his grandfather often gave Zhai Sheng a dark and desperate feeling.
How could Zhai Sheng be willing to have all his emotions and perceptions controlled by a woman?
But after seeing the examples of Grandpa Zhai and Grandma Zhai, no matter how worried Zhai Sheng was, when he really met such a person, all the mess he thought about when he was a child became bullshit. As long as he cherishes it, in such a peaceful era, can't he protect his home well?
Meeting a woman who can make him love her as much as his grandfather loves his grandmother,
This is not a disaster in his life, but a gift from God to him.
After the couple discussed it, Zhai Sheng went downstairs with a pillow to find Grandpa Zhai. When going downstairs, Zhai Sheng happened to meet Zhai Yaohui who also came out of the room with a pillow: "Dad."
"Yeah." The father and son had the same idea. They just met and didn't need to say much. Everyone understood each other's meaning: "Tonight, I will accompany you, and tomorrow, you will accompany you." The old man was old, and Zhai Yaohui had already begun to worry about the physical condition of the old man.
Today, the old man said so much, even Zhai Yaohui was a little shocked.
"No, I don't spend much time at home. If the old man is fine, that would be the best. If I'm not at home, Dabao is still young, and you can only work harder at that time." Zhai Sheng disagreed. He spent too little time at home, so during this time, he hoped to spend more time with his family.
I grew up with the old man when I was a child, and Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua's feelings for the old man were no less than Zhai Yaohui's feelings for the old man.
"Okay, what are you doing blocking the door? If you really have an idea, you two can accompany him together." Miao Liang heard the door keep making noises, and Zhai Yaohui didn't seem to have come downstairs yet. Miao Liang came out in slippers and saw Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng, father and son, blocking the door like a fool and discussing the question of whether you go or I go.
"You two, count on your fingers and see who has spent more time with the old man. If there is a chance, it won't be bad for you three generations to spend more time together. Go quickly." Fortunately, it is not winter. If they had discussed this in winter, they would have caught a cold before the results came out.
After Miao Liang said this, Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng looked at each other and felt that it made sense. What the old man lacks is company, and he will not be the kind of person who dislikes the younger generation for spending more time with him.
It was a rare opportunity for the three generations to be together. Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng listened to Miao Liang's advice, and the father and son tiptoed to the room of the old man Zhai.
Zhai Yaohui first stepped forward to check on the old man's condition, and lowered his voice to tell Zhai Sheng: "It's okay, the old man is sleeping soundly."
Hearing the heavy breathing of the old man Zhai, Zhai Sheng nodded: "I guess the old man will snore in a while. I'll jump on the bed."
