Chapter 516 - Smoking
"Let"s not talk about those people for now. Where is dad? I need to go see dad!" Xiao Sumei could not help but feel annoyed when she heard this. Bubble!
Xiao Guoqing hurriedly nodded his head, "Aiyah! Father is still in the room, let"s quickly go in. "He led the way in front while Xiao Sumei followed behind him. Ji Feng had no choice but to follow beside his mother, at the same time giving Xiao Ying a look, saying in a low voice: "Xiao Ying, remember what I told you before. If anything happens later, you have to be more ruthless!"
"Yes sir!" The little shadow quietly replied.
Xiao Sumei could faintly hear what her son was saying to Xiao Ying, but because she was worried about her father"s illness, she wasn"t very clear about it. She only asked casually: "Little Feng, what are you and Xiao Ying talking about?"Ji Feng grinned, "I just wanted her to be more nimble and not let anyone steal the car!"
"That"s nothing. Even if someone stole the car here, no one would drive it …" Xiao Guoqing, who was walking at the front, turned his head and smiled. However, when he saw that Ji Feng, who was originally calm, suddenly frowned, he was unable to continue speaking.
This nephew of his did not have the slightest bit of goodwill towards Old Xiao. How could he have forgotten about this!?
Xiao Sumei also noticed that there was something wrong with Ji Feng"s expression. She glared at her son, but did not know what to say. She could only follow Xiao Guoqing.
Xiao Ying followed beside Xiao Susu Mei as he thought to himself, "The little chief actually dares to deceive Madam. It seems that he is very unhappy this time!"
Although Xiao Ying did not interact much with Ji Feng, he could feel that Ji Feng"s behavior was out of the ordinary. Xiao Ying could sense that Ji Feng was giving him several meaningful glances while reminding him that he had to obey his orders.Little Shadow suddenly thought, could it be that the junior leader"s order was different from the Madam"s?
If his wife wanted him to head west, then the head of the department wanted him to head east … Aiya, what should we do!?
The reason why Ji Feng repeatedly warned her was because he knew that the order he would make would likely be contrary to his mother"s. If she did not dare to make a move at that time, he would have to make a move himself!
In this way, he would not be able to stay here any longer. Of course, according to Ji Feng"s intention, even if he didn"t come to the Xiao family, he wouldn"t have any thoughts and might even be too happy. However, looking at how her mother was now …
Ji Feng could not help but slightly shake his head. He still could not do it himself!He touched the walkie-talkie on his waist and could not help but sneer. If he could not do it, then there would be the three guards outside. He did not believe that he could not control it all by himself!
"Su-Mei, dad is lying in the living room!"
Xiao Guoqing quickly arrived at the front of the room and pushed open the door. A musty smell immediately a.s.saulted his nostrils, making Ji Feng frown. If the smell was a bit stronger, then he would have choked back his tears.Xiao Sumei"s face was also ugly as she could not help but ask, "Second brother, you are …. "How can I let dad live in this house?"
Xiao Guoqing smiled bitterly, "I can"t help it. There are still jobs to be done in the fields. If I want to go out and earn money, your sister-in-law will be busy all by herself." Everyone agreed to take turns taking care of Father, but they all spoke beautifully. Actually, I haven"t seen any of them come visit Father in the past few months … However, because I"ve been thinking about Father"s homestead, I often come here to discuss with me about how to split up a large portion of Father"s house after his death, and how to leave behind some land! "
Xiao Sumei"s face suddenly turned extremely ugly. She coldly snorted and walked into the room.Ji Feng immediately lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs before walking in. Even though the slums where Ji Feng used to live in were quite poor, at least in terms of hygiene, his mother would not let him live in such a pathetic state. But the smell was really...
Ji Feng frowned as he walked in, only to see his mother standing in front of a bed. She was wiping away her tears as she sobbed softly.
On the bed, an old man with completely white hair was lying there, seemingly unconscious. On the other side, an old woman was sitting on a chair beside the bed, napping."Sumei, don"t cry anymore. Dad is just sleeping. He has a bad cough when he"s awake. A doctor from the clinic in the village came to give him an injection and told him to temporarily go to sleep." Xiao Guoqing said in a low voice.
Xiao Sumei nodded slightly, but her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
Xiao Guoqing took two steps forward and lightly touched the old lady on the chair, saying, "Mother! "Mother!"
"Hmm?!" The old woman suddenly woke up. When she saw her son, she immediately said, "Second son, you"re back. Have you finished your work?"Xiao Guoqing said, "Mother, Susu Mei is back!"
"What did you say?!" The old woman froze for a moment, then turned her head and saw her daughter, Xiao Sumei, standing by the bed, wiping away her tears.
The old woman"s tears also began to flow down as she cried out in grief, "Sumei!"
"Mother!"Xiao Sumei could no longer hold it in and knelt in front of her mother, crying loudly. "Mother, your daughter is unfilial. Your daughter is back!"
The old woman touched her daughter"s head and choked with sobs, "Susu, where have you been all these years? "I thought I wouldn"t be able to see you until I die …"
"Mother, didn"t I just come back …?" Xiao Sumei"s tears kept falling and she was choked with sobs as she spoke.The old woman"s eyes were a little cloudy as she choked with sobs and said, "It"s all your father"s fault. Your father is an old man who can"t die, so he has to care about his reputation and face. You said we"re farmers, but face is not that important.
"Mother, it"s not hard. I"m not bitter at all!" Xiao Sumei was extremely sad.Ji Feng frowned and looked over at Xiao Guoqing, and then back at his mother.
Although Xiao Guoqing was honest, he was not stupid. He immediately understood that Ji Feng did not want to see his mother cry so loudly, so he quickly went forward and pulled Xiao Sumei up from the ground.
"Mom, now that Susu is back, don"t cry. We should be happy to meet each other!" Xiao Guoqing said, "Besides, father is also asleep. Don"t wake him up. Let"s go to the west room to talk!"
"Sigh!" Stop crying, stop crying! " The old lady hurriedly said, "Suumei, don"t cry anymore. Mother knows that she has let you down all these years. Now that you are back, let"s have a nice chat. Let"s go to the west room!"Xiao Sumei immediately went forward to support her mother and said, "Mother, slow down!"
The little shadow immediately went forward to help support the old woman, but was blocked by Xiao Guoqing. He said, "It"s fine, it"s fine!"
As expected, the old woman immediately stood up. Although her walking speed was not too fast, it was still considered very stable. If the old woman"s health was too poor, how could Xiao Guoqing and his wife dare to take even half a step out of the house?They went to the west room while Ji Feng stayed alone in the hall. He went to the window and looked at the old man on the bed with a complicated expression on his face.
He still remembered the "little b.a.s.t.a.r.d" that day. He remembered his expression of extreme impatience and the disgust on his face when he kept waving his hands …Ji Feng silently looked at the old man on the bed, his expression constantly changing.
After a while, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After taking two deep puffs, he suddenly asked with a smile, "Do you smoke?"If there were people from Old Xiao"s family here, they would definitely have mixed feelings about it. Who knows what it would feel like? Everyone knew that the old man had lung cancer from smoking. Now, Ji Feng was asking him if he smoked...
Ji Feng, on the other hand, was smoking without a care. It was partly because he wanted to smoke, but also because smoking was the only way to reduce the smell in his nostrils.
He grabbed the old man"s wrist and slowly activated the bioelectric current to check the old man"s body.After a short moment, Ji Feng"s countenance grew heavy. The old man"s body condition was even more severe than when his grandfather was in the ward before, and his body"s function had deteriorated by leaps and bounds. At least, after Ji Feng"s bioelectric detection, he discovered that his body was extremely weak.
Ji Feng released his hand and shrugged his shoulders. He curled his lips and said: "This is great. I"m afraid we will have to wait here for another ten days to half a month. It really is annoying!"
He snorted in annoyance. Since there were no outsiders around, he had less scruples. He condescendingly looked at the man who had once cursed him as a b.a.s.t.a.r.d with disgust. After staring at him for a while, he turned around and left.
After leaving the main hall, Ji Feng couldn"t help but take in a few deep breaths. Only then did he feel slightly better, and his mood also calmed down. His expression regained its calmness as he walked towards the west room.
The winter in the north was much colder than in the south. Many southerners would not see snow even once in many years, but it was different here. Ji Feng did not have any warning signs when he went into the house, but when he came out, he discovered that snowflakes were already drifting about in the sky.
Ji Feng couldn"t help but fall into a trance, as if he had returned to a certain winter in his memory. At that time, he really felt wronged …
Arriving at the western door, he heard the old woman"s voice from inside. "Susu, since you"ve returned, your land is still left for you, you must not give it to anyone, all these years Mother has nothing to give you, this is the place, several times the village wanted to expropriate it for you, but Mother stopped them all. This is the only thing Mother can leave you!"
Yes, Sumei, perhaps you still don"t know, because our side of the road is close to the main road, and it is said that a big boss has decided to set up some logistics center here. The land nearby will be expropriated and the price won"t be low. Xiao Guoqing"s voice also came over.
However, Xiao Sumei suddenly asked: "Second Brother, did you say that the other people were messing with the branch family just now because they were thinking of Father, Mother, and me?"The second one was sent over.
