"This kid!"
Old Lin shook his head helplessly, turned off his phone screen, and put it in his pocket.
He pulled a pack of Furongwang cigarettes from his coat pocket, lit one, and stood quietly by the window, the cigarette burning between his fingertips.
The somber sunlight streamed through the glass window and fell on me.
He raised his hand and took a deep drag on his cigarette, his chest heaving as if trying to inhale all his thoughts into the smoke.
He smoked for a while.
I caught a glimpse of my brother-in-law opening the door and stepping out.
He then handed him a cigarette.
The two stood by the window, puffing on cigarettes.
Old Lin looked up at the sky, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Why wasn't a VIP ward arranged for Dad?"
In front of his brother-in-law, the usually composed and resolute older brother-in-law jokingly said, "He keeps saying he doesn't want any special treatment. I'm afraid that once he gets better, he'll get out of bed and beat me up."
Say it.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The old man is definitely the kind of person who would do something like that.
There's really nothing we can do about his stubborn personality.
Since Yu Huan wasn't there in person, his brother-in-law immediately asked a very concerned question: "What kind of work does Xiao Yu do?"
"He's in charge of the new media department at our newspaper," Lao Lin said without hesitation.
"Judging from his appearance, I thought he worked in the entertainment industry, maybe at a newspaper!" The brother-in-law, having composed himself, asked again, "How old are you?"
“She is a few months younger than You Rong and just graduated from university.”
The brother-in-law nodded: "Twenty-three? In charge of a department, that's quite young and promising."
Old Lin neither agreed nor disagreed with his brother-in-law's comment.
He moved his lips slightly, intending to tell his brother-in-law the truth immediately, but after a little consideration, he decided it was better for him not to say it.
Putting aside the fact that her mother and brother were the most important, Lin Yourong was the darling of the family when she was a child. Her brother-in-law would often beat and scold his own son, but he doted on her.
Old Master Duan's family rules are very strict. If she marries without informing him, who knows what trouble might arise.
Old Lin felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought about the difficult times he experienced in his marriage when he was young, and then recalled this scene.
His daughter has given him a huge problem.
After finishing their cigarettes, the two entered the ward one after the other.
At the bedside, the brother-in-law watched the old man hold Yu Huan's hand, especially noting the kind and gentle manner in which he did so.
They've been out smoking for ten minutes, why are they still holding on?
It seems the old man really likes You Rong's boyfriend very much.
Suppressing the strange look in his eyes, he stepped forward, clapped his hands gently, and said loudly, "It's past twelve o'clock. Everyone must be hungry, right? Why don't we go have lunch first? Xiao Lin didn't sleep well last night either. After lunch, why don't we get a room near the hospital to rest? Dad is fine. Everyone can come and see him this afternoon."
Grandpa Duan must have heard what he said, because he gently released Yu Huan's hand.
The aunt held her mother-in-law's hand, and the two sisters chatted happily: "Come stay at my house tonight."
"Of course," the mother-in-law said with a beaming smile.
Yu Huan looked at the old man and said softly, "I'll come see you again this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded slightly with his chin, and then closed his eyes gently.
The group filed out.
Yu Huan followed behind Lao Lin. As soon as they left the ward, a small hand inadvertently slipped into his naturally swinging large hand.
Look down.
Sisi tilted her head back, her bright black eyes full of laughter, and sweetly called out in her childish voice, "Brother!"
Hearing this, Old Lin paused for a moment, then turned around and lightly flicked her forehead: "You have to call him Uncle."
Sisi covered her head: "Calling me 'uncle' makes me sound old!"
“You really have to call me uncle.” Yu Huan gently held her little hand, the two of them following each other step by step.
Sisi, who had initially looked a little aggrieved, said helplessly after hearing this, "Alright then, Uncle~"
"Eh~"
Yu Huan pondered the convoluted family relationships to herself.
To be precise, should I call him my cousin's husband?
My aunt and mother-in-law, arm in arm, followed behind, calling out with smiles, "Qianqian, don't keep bothering your uncle, you're driving him crazy!"
"Then I'll just hold Uncle's hand and not make a sound!" After saying that, she closed her small lips tightly and her little face was extremely solemn.
Yu Huan glanced down and saw her expression, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. This little girl was really precocious for her age.
The uncle, who was walking at the front, stopped at the nurses' station and gave them some instructions. Several nurses were joking around.
Upon hearing this, they all nodded solemnly and repeatedly.
A nurse who looked to be in her early thirties hurriedly came out from behind the work station, walked quickly down the corridor, and headed straight for the old man's ward.
Later, as Yu Huan passed the nurses' station, she overheard a nurse covering her mouth and saying, "He really is handsome~"
Turning my head, I saw that the nurses immediately got busy with their own tasks.
Seeing this, Yu Huan remained calm and composed.
It's so obvious that I've become somewhat immune to such simplistic praise lately.
It would be better to praise him for seeming to have substance.
As they reached the elevator, Yu Huan's uncle turned around, grinning with two large gold teeth, and said, "Little Yu, are you an actress, or a singer like You Rong? I don't follow the entertainment industry much, please forgive my ignorance."
“I am nothing.” Yu Huan paused for a moment, then continued, “I work at a newspaper.”
"Wow?" Uncle exclaimed in surprise, "Works in the same company as your father-in-law?"
Yu Huan nodded.
According to the information gap, his uncle and Lin Yourong did not get married.
Logically speaking, hearing the words "father-in-law" should elicit some reaction, but Yu Huan had long since become accustomed to it.
The word "Dad" almost slipped out, but he hurriedly swallowed it back down.
He opened his mouth to speak, but his uncle turned around and said with a smile, "I heard that Xiao Yu is in charge of the new media department at the newspaper."
"New media?" Uncle looked puzzled.
"It's about producing news that's disseminated online, in addition to newspapers and television." My uncle pondered for a moment: "The news you usually read on your smartphone and computer can all be considered new media."
Yu Huan nodded: "You're right."
Uncle scratched his head: "That's pretty advanced!"
As the elevator doors slowly opened, Lao Lin stepped in and said with a smile, "Only young people like Xiao Yu can understand new media."
The hospital elevator was spacious, and even with seven people inside, it felt a bit empty.
It was lunchtime, and many people were coming downstairs, stopping at almost every floor.
When they reached the first floor, the uncle turned to Lao Lin and said, "I've asked the driver to wait for you at the hospital entrance. The restaurant is arranged; just come with the car."
"Okay." Old Lin nodded.
"Then if I go with Xiong Ge, there won't be enough room in one car." After saying this, the uncle hurriedly followed his uncle out of the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed.
Go down again to the underground parking garage.
The air was thick with the smell of car exhaust, which mingled with the dampness of the underground parking garage, making one feel somewhat stuffy.
The five men strolled up to Old Lin's black Crown sedan.
Auntie tugged at Sisi's hand, who had been silent the whole way: "Let go of your uncle, he needs to drive."
"Oh." After letting go of Yu Huan's hand, she looked at her aunt with a questioning expression: "Grandma, after Uncle finishes driving, can I still hold his hand?"
"of course can."
The mother-in-law picked up the conversation and patted her little head.
The corners of her eyes turned up slightly with her smile, forming faint crow's feet, making her look exceptionally kind.
Yu Huan smiled and turned to the driver's side, took out the car keys from her pocket, and opened the car door.
Old Lin climbed into the passenger seat.
back row.
Sisi sat between her mother-in-law and her two sisters.
Yu Huan turned around to confirm that everyone was in position, and then released the handbrake.
Gently press the accelerator and drive out of the underground parking garage.
At the hospital entrance, before even reaching the main road, Lao Lin looked around and pointed to an Audi A6 parked on the curb with its hazard lights flashing.
"Xiao Yu, just follow this car."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan subconsciously glanced at the license plate number:
Hunan J·00001.
He swallowed hard.
Who exactly is that refined, easy-going, and witty man who chatted and laughed with me, and who was also very generous and courteous?
