1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 250 Lao Zhangtou’s worries after illness

The next day, Zhu Lin woke up early, took Sister He's job, and was busy making breakfast for the family.

A large pot of rice porridge was cooked in the kitchen, and poached eggs were specially fried for Little October.

"Sister He, please take a look at the pot. I'll go out and buy a few bowls of soy milk."

Zhu Lin took off his apron, took the big porcelain vat out of the kitchen door, and said to Sister He who was busy picking up new shoes under the window of the west wing outside the kitchen door.

She is now preparing to make a pair of tiger-head cotton shoes for little October, which will look proud of her childhood.

These shoes require a lot of work to make. Not only do they need to be shaped, but they also need to be embroidered. To be honest, most people can't make such complicated children's shoes.

Today's people's concept is to strive for practicality, as long as it can be worn. If it is new, it will be better. It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Who is not a pair of trousers, which connects spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"Hey, you're busy, I'm here to watch." Sister He didn't deal with Zhu Lin much, and spoke very politely to her.

The first time I saw her yesterday, she was taken aback. She was so beautiful. She had known from Su Guilan that Zhu Lin was an actor and was very famous, and she was extremely polite to Zhu Lin.

"Then trouble you."

Zhu Lin hung the apron on the grape branch and went out.

Sister He just looked at it stupidly, "Hey, what are you in a daze for?"

Su Guilan came from the vegetable garden and saw Sister He in a daze. She came to her and called her.

"Oh, Teacher Su, hehe! I'm here to see Teacher Zhu Lin who just went out. She looks really good-looking, just like the person in the painting."

Su Guilan was happy to hear her praise Zhu Lin, but she had a big problem when she thought about her always going out to film without caring about the children.

"It's no use being beautiful. I'm away from home every day. Yesterday I was just like that..."

"Ahem! Why do you always like to gossip behind your back? It's so bad for people to hear you."

Luo Shaoyi, who was cleaning the house, heard Su Guilan talk about Zhu Lin and immediately came out to stop her from saying these things that would hurt their relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Why are you coughing? I'm not saying anything bad about her. This is a fact. If you don't hurt my grandson, why should I feel hurt?"

Besides, I didn't go out to talk about it. It's not enough to talk about it at home. "

Su Guilan stretched out the towel on her shoulders, stared at Luo Shaoyi, and kept talking.

"You, just say it! Sooner or later, I have to talk bad things to you." Luo Shaoyi was very unhappy, turned around and went back to the house to continue cleaning.

Sister He went to the kitchen silently and wisely.

Su Guilan looked at Luo Shaoyi's back, "You don't know... Ahem! Sister He, can you tell me?"

Looking back at Sister He, there was no one there. Su Guilan's eyes were filled with grievances, "It's so early in the morning, I've offended someone."

As soon as she said this, Zhu Lin opened the door and came in, carrying fried dough sticks and soy milk.

"Mom, what's going on?" Zhu Lin asked her concerned.

When she saw Zhu Lin, she changed her tone and said, "It's okay, please hurry up and ask Luo Tao and the others to get up for dinner!"

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhu Lin put the fried dough sticks and soy milk on the table in the hall and went to the east wing bedroom.

When Su Guilan saw her going in, her face became a little sullen. She took the apron that Zhu Lin had taken off when he went out, went into the kitchen, took a bowl, and started dividing the soy milk.

Luo Tao, who was talking about the east wing bedroom, also got up early and was now patiently coaxing Little October to get up.

The little guy is awake, but he just doesn't want to get up. He has to do some hard work in bed.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Lin asked him with a smile as soon as he entered the room and saw the naked little October.

The little guy stopped playing on the bed. He quickly got up and ran to Luo Tao to block the indescribable object.

"Hey, you're still shy. Can you let mommy dress you today?"

Seeing that Xiao October was a little hesitant, Luo Tao handed his pants directly to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin took it and was a little afraid that Little October would reject her again, but he still mustered up the courage to try to get close to Little October again. He sat on the edge of the bed, looked at this shy son, and said with a smile: " Come, little October, mommy will dress you."

He was still a little timid, but Luo Tao encouraged and pushed him, "Go! Don't you always miss your mother? Come on."

The little guy moved slowly, and Zhu Lin stretched out his hand to pull him. He was still very considerate and extended his little hand.

Luo Tao watched the warm interaction between the two of them, and it was obvious that Little October had become a little closer to Zhu Lin.Perhaps it was the bond of blood that drove their closeness.

During the meal, Zhu Lin gently fed Xiao Shiyuefan.

The whole family was very happy to see this, and happy to see that there was no longer any barrier between mother and son.

After the meal, Luo Tao sent the two of them to his mother-in-law's house, while he went to Lao Zhangtou on Sanmiao Street.

Two days ago, Lao Zhangtou fell ill and was lying in bed alone with a high fever. Fortunately, his grandson came to see him, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Luo Tao was really shocked when he received the news from his daughter. The Luo family hurried to the hospital to see him.

He stayed in the hospital for a day. As soon as the fever subsided, the old man couldn't stay any longer and clamored to come back.

He had no choice but to take him back. His daughter wanted to take him to live with her, but he refused to go, saying it was inconvenient.

Thinking about it, his daughter also has a mother-in-law, so it would really be inappropriate for him to go.

His daughter has to go to work to take care of the children, and she doesn't have much time to take care of him. She is not very capable, but she has a strong backbone, and she is still very clear from her biological father.

After Lao Zhangtou helped her get through those hard days, he later gave her money, which was life and death.

Now she still goes to work every day. Luo Tao has advised her to sell some small things, which is better than working for a dead salary. She is too shy to speak out when meeting people. How can she do business without being shameless?

Faced with the situation in her family, it would naturally fall on Luo Tao to take care of Lao Zhangtou.

Luo Tao asked Xu Le to move over and take care of him.

"Lao Zhangtou, are you feeling better?" Luo Tao looked at Lao Zhangtou lying on the bed and asked.

"Why did you come here?"

"Why are you blaming me for not coming to see you last night? Why are you becoming more and more stingy as you live longer? Didn't my dad come yesterday?"

"I don't mean to blame you. If you asked your dad to come, why don't you tell him to prepare some good food. The meal that boy Xu cooked yesterday didn't kill me."

When Lao Zhangtou mentioned this, he was still scared when he thought about it.

"Really? You kind of love the old man." Luo Tao suppressed a smile and asked Xu Le, who was standing aside.

Xu Le scratched his head and felt embarrassed: "Brother, I didn't mean it. The point is that I feel pretty good after eating it."

This dog doesn't mind his family's poverty, and when he cooks for himself, he doesn't realize how unpalatable his food is.

"I know, by the way, go and wash an apple for Lao Zhangtou."

Xu Le took out three apples from the bag and washed them.

"Old Zhangtou, what do you think about what I told you last time?"

After what happened, Luo Tao didn't dare to let him continue to live here alone.

They discussed letting him move to Miaoyin Courtyard. Not only was it close to where Luo Tao lived, but more importantly, he could be guaranteed three meals a day, and Mr. Jin could accompany him and chat with him.

"I've been thinking about this for the past two days. When I think about moving again, I feel so reluctant to leave." He looked at the roof with his eyes.

"Hey, what you said is a bit insincere. When you moved here from Shijia Hutong, I didn't see you reluctant to let go.

You have only lived here for a few years and you are reluctant to part with it. I see that you are worried about being far away from your daughter! "

After Luo Tao finished speaking, Xu Le came in, carrying apples cut into pieces on a plate.

"Hahaha! I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Ever since I met you, my life has not been in vain."

"All I have been thinking about these past two days is, if I really die this time, what will happen to my miserable daughter and her mother?"

Luo Tao took a bite of the apple and glanced at him. The old man wanted to make a promise again.

"Don't worry! As long as you live a down-to-earth life, I can tell you that I still expect you to repair my furniture!"

"The second half of this year has been a mess. Let's talk about the furniture store after the new year! As long as I'm still here, I won't lose money to Sister Zhang."
