In mid-October, it was not yet winter, and the weather had just turned cold.
After two days of watching Tang Jinyu lying by the window, her parents took
her to the provincial capital.
Tang Hongjun's father is nearly 60 years old and is a professor at a well-
known university in the provincial capital. He specializes in mathematics, and
he has just appointed the dean. The old professor went to the hospital to wait
early in the morning. The old man was dressed in a neat Chinese tunic suit. He
was lean and strong. Holding a cane in his hand, he looked tough. After seeing
their car, the old man walked a few steps to greet him, and when he saw the
child through the car window, a smile appeared on his face, "Xiaoyu, grandpa's
great grandson!"
Chen Suling got out of the car with the child in her arms. After seeing it,
she hurriedly said, "Dad, why did you wait in advance? The weather is so cold,
be careful of catching cold."
Professor Tang stretched out his hand to pick up the child and said with a
smile, "It's fine, let me see, Xiaoyu seems to have grown a little bit
taller."
Tang Hongjun was holding a bag in his hand, and a pink-blue (color) cartoon
water bottle was hanging on his arm. He was smiling when he saw his father's
face: "Dad, I'm here, Xiaoyu has grown taller and fatter recently. A little
bit!"
The old man was happiest when he heard this, and kept nodding, and did not let
go of the hand holding the child. "Did the child have a fever some time ago?"
Tang Hongjun: "Yes, after the fever for a few days, Suling's company has not
gone, and she took care of it day and night. It is strange to say that after
Xiaoyu's fever subsided, her body improved a lot, and she stood up and took a
step for the first time that day. , Scared us!"
The old man nodded, his gaze fell on the little grandson and said with relief:
"Anyway, it's okay now."
Tang Jinyu didn't dare to move when he was being held. He just saw this
grandpa leaning on crutches. After all, his small (shen) body is still a bit
heavy, and he is afraid that shaking it will cause the old man to fall.
He froze in the arms of the old man, but Elder Tang was still boasting, saying
that he was pure and beautiful, and that he was obedient.
Tang Hongjun quickly picked up the child and asked, "Dad, let's go for the
checkup first. Xiaoyu (shen) is much better, and we also brought the checklist
from the previous two days."
This time Professor Tang didn't stop him, nodded and said, "Let's show it to
the doctor. The testing equipment at the provincial hospital is good. Check it
again."
"Yes, Su Ling and I think so too."
The family whispered all the way into the hospital.
After that, there was a routine examination. The doctors in the provincial
hospital also opened a consultation, and they agreed that this was a medical
miracle.
Tang Jinyu had just drawn blood and was a little dizzy. Sitting there, Chen
Suling pressed her arm and asked in a low voice, "Does the baby want to drink
water?"
Tang Jinyu shook her head and buried her little head in her arms. In her ears,
Mr. Tang and the doctors were talking about words that he didn't understand.
However, looking at the smiles on those people's faces, the results of this
examination must be very good. . He rubbed his eyes and felt a little sleepy.
He came by car at dawn, and driving for several hours in a row would still be
a burden to this small body.
Chen Suling chuckled lightly and rubbed the bunch of his curled up hair. The
soft hairs were as good as a child.
The kid in his arms yawned, rubbed his head and wanted to sleep next to his
mother. Chen Suling held the child in her arms, patted twice and coaxed: "If
you are sleepy, go to sleep. We'll go home soon."
Tang Jinyu fought with eyelids, and after a few moments, she closed her eyes
and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he was at his grandfather's house.
Professor Tang’s wife went early and lived here alone. The house here is part
of the school. He lives in a two-story building near a People’s Park in the
city center. It’s quiet and the environment is very good. .
Professor Tang is optimistic and has always been good with the students
(guanguan). Since he had a little grandson, he has become more amiable. After
all, he has become a grandfather, and his heart is more concerned with the
little grandson far away. The little grandson found out that (body shen) was
in poor health, and he did not complain at all. He entrusted countless
(guanguan) departments to find a famous doctor for treatment, and also
subsidized many sons and daughters-in-law, but there has been no progress over
the years.
Now the little grandson's body improved suddenly, and Professor Tang was also
very happy. He asked the nanny at home to cook a large table of meals, opened
a bottle of red wine, and had a lively meal together.
Tang Jinyu was still a little dazed just after waking up. He also had a
familiar old man in his dream, but he couldn't remember it now. Professor Tang
bends down and smiles and calls his name. He calls "Xiaoyu" several times in a
soft voice. He looks up at the past in a daze, like a dream slowly overlapping
with the person in front of him. He looks at the person in front of him. The
old man's eyes also became clear.
Professor Tang coaxed him with a smile, not showing any signs of
impatientness: "Xiaoyu can tell grandpa what he wants to eat. There are not so
many rules in our house. You can eat cake before meals..."
Tang Hongjun helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, glanced at his
wife, and whispered, "Dad, eating small cakes before meals is not good,
right?"
The old man is now eager to fight (guanguan) with the little grandson he
hasn't seen for a long time. He took out all the sugar-coated cannonballs and
bluffed him: "Why not, it's one piece before and after the meal, and they are
all eaten into the stomach. That's right!" Although he said so, he still
glanced at his daughter-in-law, and saw Chen Suling lowered her head and
smiled while eating and not talking. Then she became courageous again, took a
piece of cake and handed it to the child, happily said: "Come on, Grandpa will
get it for you, Xiaoyu remembers, I am grandpa, grandpa—"
The child sitting on the children’s chair in front of the dining table did not
look at the cake, but was still looking at the old man. His eyes were sharp
and clever, and he suddenly bends his eyes: "Teeth!"
The table of people froze for a moment, and it was Tang Hongjun's first
surprise: "Xiaoyu can talk now, Dad, Xiaoyu will call someone!"
Professor Tang's hands shook a little with excitement, and he coaxed the child
to cry again.
After practicing for a few times, the pronunciation is accurate, as if
suddenly, the call is low and crisp, although only one or two simple
sentences, but this is the first time he has been so clear since he was five
years old. Calling people, the whole family is very happy. Professor Tang made
people hurry upstairs and took a small tape recorder. He carefully recorded
the voice of his grandson on a tape. Hearing the words of (Milk Nai) and (Milk
Nai) "Grandpa", the old man couldn't help it. I took off my glasses and wiped
it several times, and then said: "Okay, okay, really good, we Xiaoyu can talk,
as the doctor said, we will slowly recover later."
Tang Hongjun had already cried when his son called him. At this moment, his
nose was red. Hearing his father's words, he nodded in agreement, wiped his
tears and laughed silly.
Professor Tang sat there thinking for a moment, and said, "Today the doctor
didn't say that Xiaoyu should listen to more music or something, it would also
help her recovery. I think it's good to learn a musical instrument and
practice finger flexibility."
Tang Hongjun nodded, not to mention the musical instruments, even if he wanted
the stars, he would also climb the ladder to pick them off for his son.
The Tang family's father and son discussed for a while, and went out after
dinner.
Chen Suling stayed with the child. Tang Jinyu slept for a while before, and
she was quite vigorous. She walked with the child on the first floor and
showed him some paintings hanging on the wall. Father Tang has a good
aesthetic, and his collection of paintings are all hand-painted by famous
artists, but in the most conspicuous part of the living room corridor, there
is a handwritten "Kindergarten Admission Notice".
Chen Suling hugged the child and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, do you remember
this?"
Tang Jinyu tilted his head, he didn't remember, he seemed to have forgotten a
lot of things after sleeping.
Chen Suling didn't expect him to remember, she used to say, "This is the
admission letter issued by grandfather. Everyone else goes to kindergarten.
Our baby didn't go to kindergarten, but there is a'notice letter' too! Look
below, and your signature."
Tang Jinyu looked at the handwritten notice that was beautifully framed behind
the frame, and a circle was drawn at the bottom, which was the child's
signature.
Seeing that he was serious, Chen Suling suddenly felt compassion and
affection. She kissed the little guy (rourou) on the peeping cheek and smiled,
"Let’s eat more, Xiaoyu, and can go to school when we grow up, and I can still
visit Grandpa in the future. Go to school, let grandpa take you to graduate
and doctoral studies, okay?"
Tang Jinyu's expression was a little dazed. The "Doctors" that my mother said
were (gan gan) or something, but subconsciously thought that his grandpa was
even more powerful, is he actually a PhD supervisor?
Tang Jinyu blinked, hey, wait, what is the doctoral supervisor?
Chen Suling looked at the child in her arms with a serious expression, and
slowly began to frown. The little adult-like expression made her amused. She
stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows and pressed her forehead and said:
"It's okay not to read, Xiaoyu ( Gan) Anything is fine. Mom will make a lot of
money and raise our baby for a lifetime."
Not long after, the Tang family father and son who went out also returned.
They moved back a piano.
Chen Suling was startled, "Dad, why did you suddenly buy a piano?"
Professor Tang said with joy: "Practice for my grandson!"
Tang Hongjun plans to have a longer-term plan: "Try this first. No, I will buy
an accordion tomorrow. My piano is not very good. I know a little accordion. I
can teach Xiaoyu after get off work!"
"Yes, if Xiaoyu doesn't like it, change it. What else is there? It's not bad
to see that today, it's shiny and beautiful!"
Chen Suling listened to each of them as she wanted to move a band home, and
she couldn't laugh or cry.
After staying in the provincial capital for one night, Tang Hongjun and his
wife returned home with their son and a piano the next day.
No one in the tube building has bought such a large musical instrument,
especially the expensive piano, which has attracted a lot of people's
onlookers. After the piano was set, some people came to watch the excitement
and saw Tang Hongjun holding his stupid son on a brand-new piano bench and
asking the child to press the keys indiscriminately. His face (color) was a
bit strange for a while.
Although some people don't talk about it, they are happy in their hearts. Tang
Gong’s stupid son is also worthy to learn piano? He would stand up and take
two steps, knowing that it would be nice to say "hungry"!
There are also some people who are not in the mood. They are greedy for pianos
worth tens of thousands of yuan, and they are also jealous that a little fool
can get such good care. The Tang family has a grandfather professor and a
senior engineer father. ) But Chen Suling, who makes a lot of money, is in
good condition! Why did he throw so much money on a fool?
Someone whispered, "If this money is spent on ordinary children, I don't know
how many talents will become."
Another woman lowered her voice and asked, "It's good to learn a musical
instrument, but you don't have to buy a piano at your own house. Why not send
it to the Children's Palace?"
"Hey, you just came here for two years and don't know that the Tang family
will not send the child out. The child used to hire a nanny when he was
young...scalded..." The next voice became much quieter, and slowly fell.
Tang Jinyu is also very nervous now. He threw the piano for the first time and
didn't know how to play it. He pressed a little finger to make a sound and
looked up at his dad.
Tang Hongjun misunderstood and immediately applauded him: "Son, you can play
well, just play like this!"
Tang Jinyu looked dazed.
How can you play well? He pressed it all in all.
Everyone had a good look and was fresh. After Chen Suling cleaned up the
living room, her face (color) was not so good until night.
She tossed and couldn't sleep, listening to her son snoring slightly beside
the bed, she sat up and pushed her husband angrily: "Let's move."
Tang Hongjun was startled and said, "Moving?"
Chen Suling nodded: "Yes, moving. We used to save money to treat Xiaoyu, but
now Xiaoyu is much better, and there is no need to keep that much money. Half
of the money is enough to buy a new house. There are new buildings in the city
center. I see that there are also villas built on top of each other. Let’s buy
a bigger one, and we can live together after Dad retires in a few years.” She
grinds her teeth and lowers her voice, “Those people whispered today. Hey,
when my ears are not good, I can’t hear you! It’s the grandson of Mrs. Li’s
house on the third floor. After two years of examination, he is the last one.
What qualifications do you have to say about my son!"
Tang Hongjun let out a happy voice.
Chen Suling was annoyed, pinched him, raised her chin and said, "Just say,
don't move it."
Tang Hongjun snorted, and hesitated: "No, I think it's good here."
This time it was Chen Suling's turn to froze. She frowned and said, "Hong Jun,
what's the matter with you? What's so good about here? If it wasn't for the
past few years to save money to take Xiaoyu to Beijing for treatment, we would
have moved long ago. gone."
Tang Hongjun put his arm behind his head and looked at the ceiling and said,
"When I went out with my dad yesterday, besides buying a piano, I also asked
someone to do some calculations."
Chen Suling said: "What is it?"
Gong Tang lowered his voice, and said to his wife earnestly: "Dad took me to
Xiaoyu, and an old professor in the philosophy department at the school
introduced it to him. He said it was pretty brilliant. It said that Xiaoyu's
(shen shen) The body is getting better from here. Let me live for a few more
years, and the Feng Shui here will be better."
Chen Suling will be suspicious: "Isn't it, my dad who is a science man is
still superstitious about this?"
"I believe it too." Tang Hongjun said with a smile, "As long as his son is
good, I believe in everything."
Chen Suling would definitely not agree to other things. She couldn’t wait to
give the best to her son, but this sentence immediately hit her weakness, and
she nodded, “Then listen to our dad, live here! Turn around! I tidy up and
make Jinyu feel comfortable."
