Chapter 6

Ren Yu took a three-day short vacation and planned to relax.

When he got home, he took off the regular clothes of the fire brigade, put on a T-shirt and cowboy, drove to the supermarket and bought a pile of his father's favorite food and daily necessities.

There was a bit of traffic on the way back. As the car moved forward, he made a phone call.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. A lazy voice came from the opposite side: "hello."

Ren Yu said with a smile, "have you drunk too much again?"

"Ah... What time is it..." there paused, "how can you call someone in such a morning." The tone is a little coquettish.

"It's almost ten o'clock. It's still early in the morning."

"You think I'm you. I train at six every morning." The mattress rustled on the phone. "Why did you call me suddenly and miss me?"

"Well, miss you, in the apocalypse?"

"Coincidentally, I just came back."

Ren Yu said with a smile, "how about buying you a drink tomorrow?"

The other party smiled and said vaguely, "bring wine to my house."

----

When he got home, Ren Yu parked his car and walked home with two large plastic bags.

From a distance, he saw his father walking towards him on crutches. His whole body trembled with each step, but he still had to take the biggest step. Ren was frightened.

The nanny anxiously tried to stop him, but she couldn't stop him at all.

Ren Yi hurried over: "what's going on?"

"Your father said he heard the alarm bell. Stop him."

Ren Yi handed the bag to Aunt Wang: "Dad, what are you doing!"

Ren Xiangrong looked straight ahead. The people around him didn't seem to exist. He shouted, "there's a sensitive police, there's a sensitive police." His voice trembled and excited.

Although the fire brigade is just opposite their community, it may not be able to hear the alarm bell even in the dead of night.

Ren Yi hugged Ren Xiangrong's shoulder: "Dad, you didn't lead the team today, you didn't lead the team today!"

"Out of the sensitive police, I want out of the sensitive police!" Ren Xiangrong hit Ren Yu hard. He didn't open it, so he waved his crutch angrily.

The head of the crutch was squarely connected to the instep of Ren Yu's foot.

Ren Pang cried out. He held back and dragged his father back: "Dad, you really don't lead the team today. The Deputy leads the team. Let's go home, go home, okay."

The neighbors of the community stopped one after another.

Aunt Wang sighed again and again.

Finally, Ren Ying endured his foot pain and carried his father home.

His house is an old-fashioned building with no elevator. Fortunately, it is only the third floor, but Ren Yu is still tired and sweating.

In fact, their family also has a house, which is not far away and the environment is much better. As early as his mother was still there, a family of three had moved there. He moved back here to take care of his father nearby.

Ren Xiangrong sat in his chair. He was not so stubborn. He began to quietly look out of the window in a daze, as if nothing had happened, but he still murmured vague words.

Ren Yi jumped to the sofa with one leg. He didn't have time to check the instep of his feet. Instead, he collapsed on the sofa and gasped.

Aunt Wang came over with iodine, helped him take off his shoes and socks, looked at the swollen instep and sighed, "aunt, help you wipe some medicine."

Ren Yu said in a dull voice, "thank you."

After taking the medicine, Aunt Wang opened her mouth and said with some difficulty: "Captain Ren, your father's situation is getting worse and worse. In the past, she had more time to wake up, but now... Less and less time to wake up."

Ren Ying nodded, "I know."

His father has made contributions and retired from the army because of injury. His pension and medical insurance are very high. It doesn't cost much to see a doctor, but there are some diseases that money can't do.

"Last night... When Xiaowen gave him a bath, he pushed Xiaowen over."

Ren Zhuo was stunned: "is Xiaowen okay? Aunt, I'm really sorry, my father..."

Aunt Wang calmly patted him on the knee: "it's no big deal."

Xiaowen is Aunt Wang's son. Mother and son take care of his father in shifts day and night.

Ren Yu scratched his hair and felt suffocated. He couldn't help looking at Ren Xiangrong, his bent body, gray hair, and his hand still trembling slightly on his knee. He had seen the man's indomitable appearance, and now there is only endless loss and pain.

"Captain Ren, you are so busy at work and have few holidays. You are alone at home. Have you ever considered... The nursing home, where there are professional nursing workers and doctors."

Ren Yi shook his head firmly: "I won't send my father to a nursing home, and he doesn't want to go."

Aunt Wang said in embarrassment, "there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I haven't found a chance. My wife is about to retire. After retirement, we plan to go back to our hometown. In this place, we can't afford a suite after working hard all our life."

Ren Yu was silent. With so many nannies, Aunt Wang's mother and son are the most reliable so far. Although their salary is 10000 a month, he would rather spend more money as long as he can take good care of his father.

Aunt Wang said, "I'm sorry, Captain Ren, you are all good people and are very good to us. In fact, we don't trust your father, but there's no way. There are still a few months to think about it and find new people."

Ren Yi said helplessly, "OK, thank you."

At noon, Ren Yu personally cooked several dishes his father loved to eat, but his father refused to eat a mouthful. In the afternoon, he suddenly shouted hungry again. He warmed the dishes again and ate another meal with his father.

He often advised himself not to be sad, but to be grateful. After all, sometimes he can have a normal father.

-----

"Don't worry, your babies, who dares to move."

When Aunt Wang came, they began to work.

Ren's feet were still swollen, but there was nothing serious. He limped to sweep the floor, clean the windows and throw things.

After a busy morning, the home was much cleaner. Finally, Ren Yu took a brand-new and white rag, wrung the water and wiped Ren Xiangrong's "honor wall".

The honor wall is placed on the TV cabinet, with awards, trophies, medals and banners, recording the 30-year military and sensitive horse of the old fire fighting. Behind each award, it may be a soul stirring story.

While wiping, Ren Yu recalled with Ren Xiangrong: "this is the time when you made the third class merit and defended the two sensitive meetings, right?"

"Well, collective third class merit." Ren Xiangrong came on crutches.

"This banner was sent by the twins you saved."

"Yes, the brocade flag I collected is very meaningful to fill a box and put these out."

Ren Ying smiled: "I know that I can recite almost all the stories behind everything here." He stroked the symbols of honor, and his heart was full of admiration for his father, just as when he was young.

He admired his father as a heroic firefighter since he was a child, so despite his mother's opposition, he still followed his father's footsteps without hesitation. Today, no matter how hard, tired and dangerous this job is, he has no regrets.

"This is your second-class merit." Ren Yu picked up the medal and said, "the explosion accident in the chemical plant."

Ren Xiangrong nodded: "for 18 years, it was the closest to death in my life. It was a big accident that caused a sensation all over the country."

Ren Yi clearly remembers this story and how Ren Xiangrong spent eight days under the ruins with a war harmony scholar and two employees when he was buried in the landslide. He was only 11 or 12 years old that year. During the eight days he spent with his mother at the scene, he really realized what it was like to live like a year.

"More than a hundred people died." Ren Xiangrong looked a little gloomy. He must have thought of his sacrificed war sensitive friend.

Ren Yu carefully wiped the medal clean: "you will survive a great disaster, and you will have a blessing."

Ren Xiangrong sneered: "if I were blessed, I wouldn't be like this."

Ren Yu said seriously, "don't say that, Lao Ren. It's lucky for you to retire safely."

Ren Xiangrong sighed, "sometimes I want to open it. I've robbed so many lives from the king of hell. He always wants to punish me. He just doesn't know when he will accept me."

Ren Yu sneered, "don't put gold on your face. People are so busy every day. I have time to talk to you." He put the cleaned medal back, "by the way, I seem to have an impression that there was an accident at the head of the group of the chemical plant a few months later."

"Yes, and I was the one who called the police. At that time..."

"Captain." Aunt Wang's voice came from the room, "help me move the cabinet."

"Here we are."

----

After the cleaning, Ren took a good bath, measured his hair in front of the mirror, changed his clothes, took two bottles of red wine from home and went out before the evening peak.

He drove to a community of international trade, skillfully entered the password of the unit building, and took the elevator to the top floor.

When he got out of the elevator, he knocked on a door. A white and handsome young man leaned against the door frame and looked at him with a smile: "have you brought wine? You can't enter the door without wine."

Ren Yi lifted the bag in his hand and gently pulled at the corners of his mouth: "I brought the wine and people."

They looked at each other and smiled. The next moment, he was dragged into the door.

----

When Ren Yu woke up, it was just dawn.

Although he went crazy very late last night, his biological clock thunder would wake him up around 6 o'clock. When they were in the squadron, they ran in the morning at this time every day.

He wanted to sleep a little longer, but he couldn't close his eyes. He just got up and washed, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

When he came out with breakfast, someone had consciously sat at the table and waited.

"You're a dog's nose. You smell it."

Qi Xiao yawned: "I was awakened by you, okay."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I made you breakfast as compensation."

Qi Xiao scooped a spoonful of purple potato porridge and put it into his mouth. He breathed and nodded: "I can forgive you."

Ren Yi also sat down, ate and asked, "you just came back from Hengdian? How long did you rest?"

Qi Xiao is a little actor. They met in a bar long before he made his debut. Their contact has not been broken over the years.

"I don't know. There's a drama company talking about it. I don't know whether to go or not." Qi Xiao scratched his hair, "Hey, it's boring. It's all some bad books and bad characters."

"Take your time. You'll be popular sooner or later."

Qi Xiao shrugged: "I'm tired of listening to such comforting words. I have too many types in the circle and have little advantage." He raised his chin toward Ren Yu, "Hey, you're a rare type. How about changing careers in the exam?"

Ren Yi laughed and said, "I'm so popular that I robbed all your jobs. How embarrassed I am."

"I thank you?" Qi Xiao also laughed, "I haven't seen you for such a long time. I've been chatting about me. How about you? What's the change?"

"I spend most of my time in the squadron. What can change?"

Qi Xiao squinted at him: "didn't... Meet anyone or something?"

Ren Zhuo was stunned, then smiled and shook his head: "I have so few fake, and I have to take care of my father. I don't have much private life and have no chance to meet people."

Qi Xiao sighed: "me too. I'm too busy filming. I don't have time to fall in love, but falling in love is also annoying. It's still important to make money."

They talked about something else. Ren Yu looked at his watch and said, "I have to go back. My father is about to get up."

"Then I won't keep you." Qi Xiaochao Ren fufei kissed, "I'll stay in the Apocalypse for at least a month and come back to me."

"OK, see you later."

Ren Yi puts on his shoes and is ready to go.

Qi Xiao suddenly shouted, "Ren Yi."

"Huh?"

"You are very likable." Qi Xiao winked at him, "at least you are my favorite."

Ren Yu's mood trembled slightly and he had the impulse to stay for a moment, but he finally just smiled and turned away.
