The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

They felt that they were the ones who felt most guilty if their cousin said that.

In the past few years, my cousin has been taking care of grandpa and even helping them take care of their father. They are making their own way out there, so what right do they have to say anything else?

"Brother, let's go inside first. Uncle is also inside." Cao Shujie said.

The atmosphere in the room was not very good, even a little depressing.

Mengmeng didn't say anything beside him. She used to be a very noisy child, but now she has become quiet.

Seeing her father coming in, Mengmeng came over helplessly and held her father's hand. Her little eyes looked pitiful and a little helpless.

"Dad, is grandpa okay?" Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, don't worry." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Looking at the troubled expression on Mengmeng's little face, Cao Shujie placed his hands on his daughter's face and gently rubbed her brows with his thumbs. Only when he saw her sorrow fade away did Cao Shujie feel relieved.

"Where is your brother?" Cao Shujie asked when he didn't see his son.

Mengmeng pointed upstairs and said, "Ruirui has gone upstairs. I'll go call him."

"No need, let him play on it." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shujie came to his grandfather's room on the first floor. Cao Zhenghu was still sleeping at this time. He seemed to have had a good dream. There was a smile on his face and he slept very peacefully.

When Cao Shujie came over, he found that his uncle had been whispering in his grandfather's ear: "Dad, Shubin and Shuxin are back to see you, wake up and go see them."

After shouting several times, Cao Zhenghu, who was in his sleep, finally opened his eyes with some effort. His eyes slowly turned around, and when he saw his eldest grandson and his second grandson, his old face smiled even more.

"Shubin, Shuxin, why did you come back?" Cao Zhenghu said with some difficulty.

It was not a long sentence, but it seemed like it took a lot of effort to say it. After he finished speaking, Cao Zhenghu even coughed several times.

Cao Shubin quickly sat down beside the bed, gently helped his grandfather up, and patted his back.

Seeing that his grandfather had recovered, Cao Shuxin went to the side and poured half a cup of warm water. He took a sip himself to test the temperature, and then gave it to his grandfather.

"Where are Yichuan and Yixin?" Cao Zhenghu asked his two great-grandsons.

Later I heard from my eldest grandson that Cao Yichuan was studying in Shanghai.

"Yixin is also in school. I will let them come back tomorrow." Cao Shuxin said.

When they talked to their father on the phone, the two brothers had not realized how serious their grandfather's condition was. But when they saw their grandfather at this moment, they had a feeling that their grandfather would not hold on for long.

"Why did you come back? I'm fine. Let them study hard... cough cough." Cao Zhenghu said with difficulty and started coughing again.

Seeing his old father like this, Cao Jianlin said, "Shuxin, Shubin, let your grandfather lie down and rest for a while."

"Hey!" Cao Shubin slowly put his grandfather down and saw that he fell asleep soon, but his breathing was a little heavy.

While they were relieved, they were also depressed.

Cheng Xiaolin went to cook. The eldest and second brothers had just come back and they must not have eaten anything.

But no one was in a good mood during the meal.

Although no one said a word about Cao Zhenghu's physical condition, everyone knew what his current condition was.

At this time, Cao Shujie was still trying to make a final effort, but he was helpless and even a little irritated, feeling like he was powerless.

There is a lot of money in the bank card, but I can't find anyone to spend it on.

Brothers Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin also called their wives in Anyi City and asked them to hurry back the next day.

When they received the call, Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing, the sisters-in-law, realized that the situation was not good, but they didn't say anything else. Zhang Yi also asked her husband whether he should call their son who was studying in Shanghai and ask him to come back.

"Let him take two days off first. It won't delay many classes." This is what Cao Shubin said to his wife.

Cao Shuxin also told his wife to ask for two days off for his son Cao Yixin.

Anyway, his son will join the army after his senior year of high school, so he doesn't care about the college entrance examination.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others from the village also came over to take a look, and talked to Cao Zhenghu while he was awake. Everyone tried hard to keep a smile on their faces.

Before going to bed at night, Cao Shujie discussed with his father about visiting his grandfather more often in the evening.

"Need you to tell me? I'll live with your grandfather." This is what Cao Jianguo said.

Cao Shujie didn't say anything else. He thought about coming down a few more times in the evening.

On the other side, Cao Jianlin was also talking to his two sons about their old father's condition. At this point, they all felt very heavy in their hearts, but they also knew that even their nephew (cousin) who was worth billions could not think of a better solution, and they were even more powerless to save the situation.

The next morning, Cao Jianlong hurriedly brought his two sons to his nephew's side. When they came over, they saw the old father drinking millet porridge. He looked much better, his face was a little rosy, and he didn't look so sick anymore.

"Uncle, grandpa has eaten." Cao Shujie announced the good news with a smile.

Grandpa woke up quite early this morning, and after waking up he kept saying that he was hungry.

Wang Yuelan hurriedly cooked millet porridge, scooped out a bowl of thick millet oil, blew it into a warm state, and gave it to her father-in-law to eat.

When brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin saw this scene, they were also happy and felt that their grandfather was better.

But they inexplicably thought of a word in their minds: "last flicker of light." And they felt inexplicably depressed.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law also drove back and brought their little nephew Cao Yixin back with them.

On the other hand, the eldest nephew took the high-speed train from Shanghai to Yiling City in the early morning. After getting off the train, he planned to take a taxi, but Cao Shujie directly asked Wang Yueqiang to wait at Yiling Railway Station, and also told Wang Yueqiang to come back as quickly as possible after picking up Cao Yichuan.

By the way, I gave him my eldest nephew Cao Yichuan’s phone number.

When his eldest nephew Cao Yichuan returned to Caojiazhuang, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Yueqiang ran back as fast as he could while ensuring safety and not violating any regulations.

At this moment, Cao Zhenghu was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the whole family, his heart was full of joy.

He seemed to be able to speak fluently now and was thinking about going out to bask in the sun and taking a walk around Caojiazhuang.

After hearing this, Mengmeng's little face lit up with joy and she volunteered to push the old man out for a walk.

Cao Shujie originally refused to allow it, as he was unsure about his grandfather's condition.

Mengmeng was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.

Brothers Cao Jianlin and Cao Jianguo discussed it and finally nodded: "Let's go and take a look."

"Then I'll go too." said Cao Shujie.

He and his daughter pushed their grandfather out of the house in a wheelchair. The sun was shining brightly today, and the sunlight felt warm on their bodies, but not hot.

There were many people chatting on the street.

Normally, the intersection north of Caojiazhuang was the busiest place, but now everyone knows that Cao Zhenghu is not feeling well and they are afraid of disturbing his rest. Even though this intersection is nearly 50 meters away from Cao Shujie's home, no one is chatting here anymore.

I saw Cao Shujie and Mengmeng pushing the old man out of the house, and I saw the old man smiling with a big smile on his face.

Many people gathered around him and talked to him.

Everyone talked about their family affairs as they did in the past, talking about the big and small things in Caojiazhuang, and talking about what it was like when they met Cao Zhenghu when they were young.

"Shujie, I think Mr. Tiger is in very good spirits." Someone said.

Cao Shujie also responded with a smile.

There were also people of the same generation as Cao Zhenghu who saw him calling him Brother Hu all the time and asked if Brother Hu was okay.

"Okay, I haven't come out for a while, so I'm going to take a walk." Cao Zhenghu even spoke fluently.

Mengmeng pushed the wheelchair from behind and told her father with a smile that the old man was fine.

"Grandpa, let me push you to the dam." They arrived at Cao Shujie's old house in one breath, and Mengmeng suddenly said.

Cao Zhenghu pointed south and said, "Let's walk a little further and go to the dam to take a look later."

Cao Shujie responded and pushed his grandfather all the way to the southern end of Caojiazhuang, where his other breeding farm was also located. Cao Shujie also used his own money to build an asphalt road to the dam.

When they were about to push the wheelchair to the dam, they saw Grandpa turned his head to the west and said inexplicably: "Shujie, your grandma is still waiting for us over there."

Cao Shujie knew that that was the cemetery of Caojiazhuang. People in Caojiazhuang would live there when they got old, and it also provided a place for their descendants to pay tribute during festivals.

Cao Shujie knew this, of course, but he advised his grandfather: "Grandpa, live a few more years. I will burn some paper for grandma and tell her to wait for you for a few more years."

"You naughty boy, you are talking nonsense." Cao Zhenghu scolded him.

Cao Shujie smiled and didn't ask his grandfather if he agreed. He pushed the wheelchair directly along the road and walked north along the dam.

While walking, I looked at the Yellow River in the east.

At this moment, in Cao Shujie's eyes, the Yellow River looked like a yellow jade belt, flowing endlessly.

"When I was rowing a boat, the Yellow River was like this. The boat was still buried on the other side of the river," said Cao Zhenghu.

Meng Meng quickly said, "Grandpa, I know. My father took me to see the boat. But only one of the boat tips is still there. The rest are buried in the soil and can't be found."

Cao Zhenghu said with some sadness: "Yes, we don't need boats anymore."

They walked along the dam and came to the northern lower entrance, where Cao Shujie's home was.

There is a mountain to the north, and on the mountain is the cute orchard built by Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie pushed his grandfather up the mountain to take a look.

Go and see the sika deer in the deer park, go and see the cows in the farm, go and see the apple trees and kiwi trees planted in the orchard, and go and see the more than two acres of strawberries.

It was like this a few years ago, and it has been maintained since then and has never been expanded. However, with Cao Shujie's continuous investment, the mountain now looks even more beautiful. Even in mid-October, there are still flowers blooming on the mountain.

A gust of wind blew over, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, intoxicating people.

Cao Zhenghu also said: "It's really beautiful."

"Right, Grandpa, I'm still renovating the mountain. When it's all done and it's even more beautiful, I'll bring you over to see it then."

"Hey, Shujie, it hasn't been easy for you these years," said Cao Zhenghu.

When Cao Shujie was praised by his grandfather, his face was as bright as a flower, but there were tears in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
