Chapter 432 Xia Juanjuan’s Bad Idea
Chapter 432 Xia Juanjuan’s Bad Idea
From that day on, Ye Mei and Xia Juanjuan seemed to be possessed by Tang Monk in A Chinese Odyssey, and their nagging was dozens of times more than before.
The first thing Xia Susen heard when he opened his eyes was asking for a house.
You still need a house to eat.
When he went out for a walk, the mother and daughter would not let him go. They would follow him closely and talk about the house.
He never spoke more than three sentences before he started talking about the house.
Xia Susen was so depressed that he just drank all day without preparing any snacks. A small dish of peanuts could keep him drinking for three days.
After drinking, he didn't make any trouble, but just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
His passive resistance made Ye Mei even more angry.
He found various ways to mock and ridicule Xia Susen.
But Xia Susen just couldn't hold it in. From beginning to end, he never opened his mouth to Xia Sumu and mentioned the house.
Seeing that the New Year was almost over, Xia Juanjuan suggested, "Mom, I think we should take advantage of the holiday to invite Uncle San and his family over in the name of my dad, and have a reunion dinner.
Even if my dad doesn’t say it, we can talk about it at the dinner table. He won’t give us face, will he? ”
"That must cost a lot of money."
"Money and other things are trivial matters. If things don't work out, we can just leave first. My third uncle's family has money, so let them pay for the meal."
Ye Mei nodded, "Okay, I think this is a good idea.
If I only call you Third Uncle and not Second Uncle, and they don't come, will your father also complain?"
"Then just invite them all. After all, inviting one family is still the same as inviting two families. In the end, the ones who pay are my third uncle and his family."
Xia Sumu was surprised when he received the call from Xia Juanjuan inviting him, but when he heard that it was Xia Susen who wanted the whole family to reunite, he readily agreed.
Xia Juanjuan also mentioned: "Uncle San, let Sister Songlan and Chuanbai come together. My dad wants everyone to get together during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, okay, I'll notify them when the time comes and try to get them to come."
When Xia Sulin received the call, he didn't think too much and agreed immediately.
Xia Juanjuan also suggested, "Second Uncle, since it's Chinese New Year, why not let Sister Xi Que and the others come along as well."
"It just so happens that your sister Xi Que and her friends called a few days ago and said they would come back during the New Year, so it's a good opportunity for us to get together."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Xia Sumu called Xia Juanjuan's phone again, "Uncle San, what's wrong?"
"Juanjuan, you decide on the restaurant, but Uncle San will pay for the meal, so don't worry about the money.
If your father asks, just say you paid for it."
Xia Juanjuan was secretly happy, but she said, "How can I do that? I have money, so please don't worry about it, Uncle."
"Your money is yours. Uncle San is retired and has saved some money, but he has nowhere to spend it. A family doesn't spend much on food, so let Uncle San pay for it.
You young people have many places to spend money, so don't argue with your uncle over the meal money.
I will give it to you when we meet at the hotel entrance that day."
Xia Juanjuan already had this plan, so she didn't try to be modest anymore.
Ning Jingmo had no time on New Year's Day. He went to the south to prepare for military exercises and had not been home during this period.
Ning Ziqing has signed up for a programming class, but he has to go to make up for the missed lessons and doesn't have time to go.
Ning Tianya was rehearsing with her grandmother for the New Year's Day concert in the evening, so she had even less time.
Xia Chuanbai was busy in the laboratory, so he didn't plan to go.
In the end, only Xia Sumu, Zhou Sangning and Xia Songlan went together.
In fact, Zhou Sanning was not willing to participate either, as he always felt it was a Hongmen Banquet.
Xia Sumu was particularly optimistic, "If this banquet was hosted by my sister-in-law, it would definitely be a Hongmen Banquet.
But it was my eldest brother who invited us, and it was definitely for a family reunion.
Our parents are gone, and we are the only three brothers left. If we stay close, it will also help the family to be united.”
Zhou Sangning curled his lips, muttered a few words, but still went along.
By the time we arrived at the restaurant, Xia Sulin, Liu Erya, Xixia Xique and others had already arrived.
Xia Juanjuan was waiting at the entrance of the hotel, and when she saw Xia Sumu, she greeted him enthusiastically.
While no one was paying attention, Xia Sumu secretly stuffed 500 yuan into Xia Juanjuan's bag.
The two men's actions were stealthy and did not attract anyone else's attention.
As it was already half past 12, only Xia Juanjuan from Xia Susen's family came, and no one else came.
No matter who asked, Xia Juanjuan said in unison: "My dad said that it's a rare family gathering today, so he went to buy wine himself.
I guess my mother went with him.
My eldest brother and second brother should come together after work."
Xia Sulin also complained to Liu Erya, "I told you that you are too busy worrying. Since my brother organized the party, why wouldn't he come?"
Liu Erya just glared at him and ignored him, instead she whispered to Zhou Sangning.
Just then, Xia Jianshe ran in from outside, sweating profusely, because the buttons of his hot cotton coat were not fastened and his chest was open.
When he saw Xia Sumu and Xia Sulin, he rushed over and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, please come to my house quickly. My dad has fainted."
Everyone stood up in shock, and Xia Sumu asked repeatedly, "What's going on? What's going on?"
Xia Jianshe was about to speak, but Xia Juanjuan grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, stop talking. Since Dad has fainted, let's go home and send him to the hospital. Why are you talking nonsense?"
She winked at Xia Jianshe subtly.
But Xia Songlan saw it and asked in a deep voice: "Xia Juanjuan, what's going on? Why did you look at Brother Jianshe just now? Is there anything you can't say to his face?"
"I, how could I? Stop accusing me."
Xia Songlan ignored Xia Juanjuan and asked Xia Jianshe, "Brother Jianshe, why do you think my uncle fainted?"
"Hey..." Xia Jianshe slapped his thigh, "Isn't this all the fault of this damn girl? She actually organized this party.
My dad had no idea about this in advance, and today my mom insisted that my dad come to the party. Not only did my dad not come, he also didn't allow our entire family to come.
He even locked the door and waited at the door, refusing to open it.
Because of this, my mom had a huge fight with my dad at home, and my dad fainted immediately. "
He explained the situation briefly, and Xia Sumu and the others quickly rushed out of the hotel.
The hotel Xia Juanjuan booked was very close to their home, so there was no need to drive. They just ran there directly.
Xia Songlan ran the fastest, and when she went upstairs, Xia Susen had already woken up.
But his face was pale, he lay weakly on the bed, and his eyes were particularly dull.
By the time Xia Sumu and the others went upstairs, Xia Songlan had already dialed 120.
Ye Mei was still yelling, "Why are you calling 120?
Isn't he awake now? Why waste that money?
He's fine, he drinks so much all day, and runs around outside for no reason, what could possibly happen to him?"
But everyone ignored her and looked at Xia Songlan.
Xia Songlan said, "Dad, Second Uncle. I have just checked my uncle. We must go to the hospital immediately."
Xia Sulin asked worriedly, "Is it really that serious?"
Xia Songlan nodded, and then said to Xia Sumu: "Dad, go and take a look. You should be able to diagnose my uncle's illness."
Although Xia Sumu has retired, he was re-hired by the affiliated hospital and goes to the hospital to see patients for two days a week.
He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xia Susen.
He hurriedly tried to lift his quilt, but Xia Susen held down the corner of the quilt.
But how could his strength match Xia Sumu's? Xia Sumu lifted the quilt away with just a little effort.
Because there was heating at home, Xia Susen only wore a worn and loose autumn coat and lifted the quilt.
Everyone immediately noticed his big belly.
Xia Susen can be described as skinny, with a bony upper body and a big belly, like a pregnant woman.
Xia Songlan had also lifted the quilt on Xia Susen's legs. His legs were completely swollen and his skin was transparent, as if a hole could be poked through with a slight poke.
Xia Sumu pressed lightly and a deep hole appeared, which took a long time to recover.
Even without medical knowledge, everyone present could see that Xia Susen was sick, and very ill.
