"Grandpa!" Huo Shaoyan also held the old man's hand. The finger bones in his palm were dry and thin, as if he had lost his vitality, and it was like a sign that Mr. Huo's life was coming to an end.
His heart ached slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Su Mozheng was beside him, and then he quickly waved to the latter, with an urging in his voice, "Mozheng, this is grandpa, hurry up, say hello to grandpa!"
She walked forward hesitantly, seeing the old man's expression that suddenly trembled after hearing these words, she tried hard to turn her head.
Su Mozheng had already taken a few steps forward and leaned beside the hospital bed. "Grandpa..." she shouted sincerely.
"This is..." Mr. Huo tremblingly tried to raise his hand, but in the end he just dropped it weakly. His face under the breathing mask, his thin lips were closing slightly, and his voice was weak.
"Shaoyan, this is -" Commander Huo stood on the side, looking at the woman standing in front of him, and he also had some doubts.
Before the old man could be overjoyed, the ward door was pushed open by someone. Huo's mother stood panting at the door of the room, looking at the people in the room, her eyes fell directly on Huo Shaoyan's face, "Shaoyan, you really led her
Come to see your grandpa."
She took a few breaths to feel comfortable, then stepped forward and looked directly at Su Mozheng's face, "Miss Su, do you think it's appropriate for you to stand here?" Her tone was ironclad, "A married woman
Is a woman from her husband’s family who has had an abortion worthy of joining our Huo family!?”
"Mom!" Huo Shaoyan shouted dissatisfied and looked at Su Mozheng worriedly, only to see the latter's face lowered and her fingertips clenched tightly.
He shouted dissatisfied again, "Mom -" while reaching out to pull Su Mozheng's arm, "What's wrong with me? I deserve you to call me that. Did you say something wrong?"
Huo's mother refused to accept this trick and returned sternly. At the same time, she said word by word to Mr. Huo on the hospital bed: "Dad, Shaoyan is not sensible. He actually brought this girl to see you. Just treat it as if it didn't happen."
Let's live with this, I'll let her go immediately!"
Su Mozheng shook her head, brushed Huo Shaoyan's hand away, and said to Huo's mother: "Mrs. Huo, I know that you must have investigated my past before coming here, and you also know that with my status, I am really not worthy of Huo.
"But I think I am worthy of Huo Shaoyan!" Acting needs to be done well, and half-truths are enough. "I want to call grandpa grandpa just to make him happy. That's all. There is no other intention."
"
She just stood by the side so gently and gently, her eyebrows and eyes were quiet, neither arguing nor making a fuss or getting angry. Huo's mother was actually blocked and could not speak.
"Ahem -" In the silence, the old man on the hospital bed coughed and held his support on the hospital bed to get up. He struggled a little, but still fell back weakly.
Su Mozheng had sharp eyes and immediately stepped forward to support the old man and let his head rest on the pillow.
The old man was still coughing uncontrollably, and his face was a little red under the respirator. He reached out tremblingly to take off the respirator.
"grandfather!"
"dad!"
Several shouts from different directions stopped him. Still shaking his arms, he stubbornly took off the breathing mask, and uttered a few words from his dry skin lips, "It's okay..."
The doctor said that the old man's deadline is only in these days. What he does now is that he is ready to hit the road. The old man knows everything, but he seems to have no nostalgia for anything, no sadness, no hurt.
"Shu Ye," the old man called Mrs. Huo's name weakly. The time limit was up, but he was still very conscious. He could understand the outline of those words clearly. "Do you remember the family motto of my Huo family?
"
"Back then, Shaoyan's grandma didn't mind that I was a poor coachman and couldn't provide for her a good life, so she resolutely followed me. Back then, I was just a poor boy, nothing -"
"Dad!" Mother Huo stepped forward and placed another pillow behind the old man's back.
"Ahem -" Mr. Huo said a few words, his face turned from flushed to pale, but he still said stubbornly, "I, what I have never understood in my life, I finally understand at the moment of my death."
I completely understand.”
"In this life, you don't do it for fame or profit. It's so lucky to have someone who is willing to accompany you through all the ups and downs in this life!"
"Girl, Shaoyan..." Mr. Huo shouted, and the two of them automatically moved forward. Mr. Huo shook his hands, took Su Mozheng's palm, and placed it in Huo Shaoyan's hand, holding it tightly.
grip.
"It doesn't matter who she is, what's important is that this is the female doll that Shaoyan recognizes. We are all old and can't accompany Shaoyan through this life! The only one who can accompany Shaoyan through this life is the person he recognizes.
——Ahem..." Mr. Huo said and started coughing again.
"Dad, put on the respirator!" Huo's mother wanted to put it on, but Mr. Huo turned his head away.
"Girl, tell grandpa, what's your name?" Mr. Huo's face suddenly turned rosy, and he spoke with some strength.
Master Huo and Commander Huo, his mother, looked at each other. Is this a flashback?
The old man's face was very kind, and it could be seen that when he was not sick, he must be a healthy old man. Su Mozheng had never seen her grandfather, so when she looked at the old man, she felt a little more cordial in her heart, "Su Mozheng."
"Mo Zheng," Mrs. Huo savored the two words carefully, "what a name!"
"Well," Su Mozheng nodded, thinking of her deceased mother, "My sister's name is Moqin. Our names were given by my mother. My father said that she loved singing during her lifetime and was very talented. She also loved singing.
We had two musical instruments, the zither and the zither, so that’s how we got our name.” She thought of her deceased mother and felt a little sore in her nose.
"Good boy, come to grandpa!" The old man waved, and Su Mozheng came forward and sat beside the hospital bed.
Mrs. Huo patted the back of her hand comfortingly, "Poor child,"
"Since Shaoyan can bring you to see me, it proves that he recognizes you,"
"Although Shaoyan learned to be independent very early and does not need anyone to take care of him, in my eyes, he is still a child. From now on, I will leave Shaoyan to you." The old man spoke very slowly, but his words were clear.
Su Mozheng hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the old man's hopeful eyes, she nodded against her will, "Yes, Grandpa, I will."
That afternoon, Mr. Huo seemed to have come back to his senses, and he talked a lot with Su Mozheng. Although his words were weak, he always had a breath of energy.
As night falls, the stars are twinkling. In the intensive care unit, almost all the Huo family's children are present. They are wearing green military uniforms and blue military uniforms, standing darkly outside the ward.
The light was bright and bright, lighting up the whole room.
After a few hours of sleep, Mr. Huo woke up again and said to Huo Shaoyan with tears in his eyes on the side of the bed: "Grandpa, the happiest thing in this life is to have your grandma accompany me."
This life is over. She is alone down there, and now, I finally want to see her!"
