Chapter 1222 Grandpa
After calming Lu Miao down, Fu Jingyou immediately called home.

He specifically asked Liu Xiaozhu to pick him up, so Tang Mei asked Wang Xiu to call Liu Xiaozhu over.

In the main hall of the Fu family compound, Liu Xiaozhu held the microphone and nodded repeatedly in response:
"Okay... I understand, Brother Fu. You can take good care of your wife and don't worry about things at home! Okay, okay!"

As soon as Liu Xiaozhu hung up the phone and put down the receiver, Tang Mei, who was standing next to him, immediately asked:
"How is it? Did your brother Fu say anything? How is Bao'er's mother now?"

Liu Xiaozhu laughed:
"Auntie, don't worry! Brother Fu said that your wife is doing well. He will stay at the hospital to take care of her. He will continue to cook six meals a day as usual and ask me to deliver them to her!"

"so……"

Tang Mei nodded thoughtfully, then immediately started feeling around in her pockets as if she had just thought of something:

"Then we'll have to buy another insulated container; he needs to eat over there too, doesn't he?"

Liu Xiaozhu stammered:

"Well... uh, Brother Fu didn't mention that, but the hospital has a cafeteria. If Sister-in-law can't eat the food there, Brother Fu can definitely eat it."

Tang Mei waved her hand, quickly counted out the money and handed it to Wang Xiu, telling Wang Xiu to go to the department store and buy another thermos.
“You’re too young to understand! How can the food in the cafeteria compare to what we make at home? We’ll just send the meals along with the food so they don’t have to eat badly outside.”

Liu Xiaozhu touched the back of his head.

It's definitely not possible for me to not eat well.

However, it's highly likely that the food outside isn't as good as home-cooked meals.

Tang Mei is the host.

Once she made the decision, Liu Xiaozhu and Wang Xiu couldn't say anything and could only comply.

Furthermore, Fu Jingyou had just settled Lu Miao into the hospital when important figures arrived at his home.

Lu Miao was seriously ill, and ever since she returned, the whole family has been worried about her.

Fu Jingyou was the most prominent among them.

Fu Jingyou was constantly worried about Lu Miao's situation and hadn't been able to pay attention to things back home.

The elderly couple from the He family missed them.

Hu Zhiyuan sent a message before the Lunar New Year, when things were getting a bit turbulent in the He family.

The elderly couple tried to calm each other down and said they would wait and see, perhaps it was just a busy time around the New Year.

But they waited and waited, and the first month of the lunar calendar passed, and the spring plowing and planting in April and May also passed.

No news ever reached their hometown from Beijing.

He Hongjin could no longer sit still.

Just before the Dragon Boat Festival in June, when the village was about to enter the busy farming season, He Hongjin made the decision to personally go to Beijing to see what the situation was like.

He's old and frail; he had a stroke a few years ago and still walks with a limp. Even though Chen Guifen was comfortable letting him go, Tian Guihua didn't dare let him go.

At such an advanced age, what if something happens to him outside?
But even Tian Guihua couldn't stop it.

In the end, it dragged on for a few more days until Brother He took leave and came back to accompany him before the price was finally settled.

It wasn't easy for the father and son to make this trip to Beijing to visit each other.

Let's not even talk about the 20-plus hour drive.

The Fu family moved to a new address. He Hongjin has only sent letters to the new address and has never been there.

After finally reaching the vicinity of Tiananmen Square in northern Beijing, the father and son, carrying loads on their shoulders and baskets on their backs, walked along several streets from one end to the other. They wandered around in circles, looking at the addresses on the slips of paper and the roadside signs, feeling that this place looked similar to that place.

But they just couldn't figure out if this was the place they were looking for.

After unloading their belongings, they encountered a patrol team while resting by the roadside. He Hongjin patted his second brother on the shoulder, urging him to hurry over and ask them what was going on.

He Erge hesitated and didn't step forward.

Upon entering a big city for the first time, Brother He was immediately overwhelmed by the sight of towering skyscrapers.

Especially since the surrounding area is full of old-style courtyards, it looks like one of those antique tourist attractions you hear about on the radio.

He Erge thought they must have gone to the wrong place.

He didn't dare to go up and ask anyone; he was both embarrassed and intimidated by the orderly patrol team.

Another thing is that, like many people who come to the city for the first time, Brother He is afraid of making a fool of himself and being laughed at.

Seeing his timid and hesitant manner, He Hongjin sternly scolded him several times with a disappointed expression:

"You spineless coward! That's a People's Liberation Army comrade, not a man-eating tiger! You're a grown man, what are you afraid of? You're so young, you're not even as good as your father, all these years you've wasted your life!"

He let him curse as he pleased, but Brother He just scratched the back of his head and chuckled, not uttering a single word in rebuttal.

He Hongjin glared at him several times, and only looked away when the patrol team was almost gone. He then limped after them and shouted:
"Comrade, comrade, wait a minute, comrade!"

Seeing this, Brother He quickly picked up his basket and shoulder pole and followed behind.

He Hongjin stopped the patrol team and asked them to check the address.

Upon seeing the address on the note, the patrol captain immediately questioned them about where they came from and their relationship with the people in the house.

Once they learned that the patrol team leader had come to visit relatives, he didn't say much. He turned around and gave them a look, and two young comrades immediately stepped forward to take the load and basket from Brother He's back.

Brother He was startled and backed away, gripping the carrying pole tightly.

He Hongjin was also somewhat bewildered:
"Comrade, this, this is..."

Seeing their misunderstanding, the patrol captain quickly explained with a warm smile:
"Uncle, don't be afraid! Minister Lu's house is nearby. I have a mission here and it's inconvenient for me to personally escort you, so I'll have them take you there! As for these things, just have them help carry them!"

Upon hearing that the patrol team members could help guide him, He Hongjin was initially delighted, but then quickly waved his hand when he heard the rest:
"No need, no need! Comrade, this is my son. I'm getting old and it'll be a bit too much for me to carry this for a while, but my son is still young. We country folk may not have much else, but we have plenty of strength! Let him carry it!"

That's what they say, but how could He Hongjin possibly compete with security personnel who came from the military and had exceptional execution capabilities?
The items were eventually taken over by the patrol team.

After another round of twists and turns, the father and son finally arrived at the gate of the Fu family's house.

The patrol team passed by the area every day, and most of the team members knew that the Fu family usually entered and exited through the side gate.

He Erge looked around from behind, wondering if this was really his brother's house. It looked as grand as an ancient county magistrate's office!
The patrol team members were already leading He Hong to the door on the side of the road.

Wang Xiu opened the door.

Wang Xiu didn't know anyone from the He family. After briefly thanking the patrol team members, Wang Xiu asked the He family father and son to wait while she went inside to ask them.

It's Saturday and Sunday, so the older kids in the family went to the Children's Palace, but Bai Chuan was the only one at home. Right now, he's playing with Wang Xiu in the front yard.

Bai Chuan can't seem to calm down for a second.

When Wang Xiu opened the door, Bai Chuan, like a playful kitten, peeked his head out through the crack in the door.

Upon seeing the person with a dark face and wearing a drab gray jacket outside the door, the little guy immediately pushed the door shut and squeezed inside.

"grandfather!"
