Chapter 234 Zheng Mingfeng's thoughts
Zheng Minglong had already strode in with his luggage. He was the only person in the family who wanted to see her. As he walked, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't let his sister know about this and unknowingly slowed down.
There was still half an hour before boarding the plane. Not many people took the plane during the spring festival. Zheng Minglong soon found her sitting in the corner. She was wearing a red woolen cap, a white down jacket, a red scarf, jeans, and black leather shoes. She was reading a book with a thermos next to it. He wanted to go up and say hello, but Zheng Mingfeng happened to be sitting behind her, and his heart skipped a beat. If he went up to say hello, he would not be able to hide it.
Zheng Wentao and Li Xiaoqin came over and saw this scene. The couple's eyes flashed together and gave Zheng Minglong a look.
Zheng Minglong had to stop and sit quietly beside Zheng Mingfeng with them. No one in the family spoke.
Zheng Mingfeng did not notice anything unusual about her parents and brother. She had been thinking about something. A few days ago at her uncle's house, she overheard her grandmother and mother secretly talking about a person named "Li Haitang." From their conversation, she learned that she actually had a biological sister, who had been abandoned by her parents in the countryside since she was born, and now she passed the college entrance examination to the Beijing university.
From the way they spoke, it was obvious that they were regretting losing their daughter. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
She had been away from school for more than three years and was no longer that ignorant little girl. In the past few years, she had met many people in society and naturally heard the stories behind many people. There was a similar case, which happened in the family of a good friend of hers, he lu.
He lu's relative was a businessman with similar family conditions. She had three children, the first was a daughter, and was abducted when she was three years old. After that, she gave birth to another child and a daughter, and the family lived happily ever after. But more than ten years later, the lost daughter was suddenly found, and he lu's relatives brought her back to raise her.
This girl had good grades, was very sensible and obedient, and the couple had a compensating factor in their hearts. She had everything she wanted at home, and was neglected as a princess at home. As she grew older, her character became more rebellious, and she often quarreled with her sister. Her parents always helped her teach her a lesson.
The more zheng mingfeng thought about it, the more she felt that if she took this sister back, she would be a little pitiful in the future. Her academic performance was so good. The famous Beijing university top student was much better than her brother's school. If she came back, not only her parents, but also her grandparents would probably take her to the sky. Where else would she have a foothold? My grandparents and parents were dissatisfied with me, they didn't like to study, they liked to spend money, and now they don't have a decent job, they will definitely look down on me more and more.
One more thing, although father had lost money in business before, he was slowly getting better now. I heard that next march and april, he could buy back his previous home. If you recognize that sister and come back, the family will give her a share in the future. If you have a half-brother to share the family property, and a younger brother to have a sister, then do you still have a share for yourself? The three of them were college students, and she was only a junior high school student. She was very self-aware. She had no capital to fight with them, nor the ability and ability to win them. The effect of unreasonable and pestering would only make her family hate her more. What should she do?
She didn't know what was wrong with herself. Ever since she knew that she had a sister, a lot of ideas popped up in her head, as if she had suddenly grown up and knew what to fight for. So, after she heard the conversation between grandma and mom, she didn't rush in and shout as usual, but left quietly and returned to the room to think quietly.
She had a voice in her heart telling herself that she could never let that sister go home. She had been abandoned by her parents, so she was no longer a member of the Zheng family. She could not come back and take away her parents'love and family property.
She made up her mind and her lowered eyes became firmer.
She glanced at her watch and saw that it was twenty minutes before she could board the plane. She put her luggage aside and stood up, "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay." Li Xiaoqin was sitting right behind Li Haitang, staring at her back in a daze. It was not until Zheng Mingfeng spoke that she woke up.
As soon as Zheng Mingfeng left, Zheng Minglong couldn't wait to put down his schoolbag and happily went over to shout, "Sister!"
Li Haitang, who was concentrating on reading, was startled and almost knocked over the thermos next to him. He turned his head and saw him. He was slightly surprised, "Zheng Minglong, why are you here?"
Only then did Zheng Minglong realize that her actions frightened her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sister, I scared you."
"Uh, nothing, nothing." Li Haitang took a deep breath and regained his composure, "Why are you here?"
"We're coming to grandpa's house for the new year." Zheng Minglong smiled and turned slightly awkwardly so that she could see her parents behind her.
Li Haitang said "Oh." He turned away, and she naturally saw the two people behind him. She pursed her lips, looked at them calmly, and then withdrew her gaze.
"We just met Li Tao at the door, so we knew you were going back to beijing today." Zheng Minglong was very close to her. Although the change on her face was very slight, he still caught it. He purposely blocked his parents with his body again and continued to talk to her.
Li Haitang nodded. The couple were here. She didn't want to talk to Zheng Minglong anymore.
She didn't want to say it, but Zheng Minglong came to talk to her on purpose. "Sister, it's only the fifth day of the seventh lunar month. Why are you going back to beijing?"
Li Haitang's voice was faint, "My french teacher fell and was hospitalized two days ago. I went to the hospital to take care of him for a few days."
"Oh, is it serious?"
"A little. It's more painful to fall when you're old than when you're young."
Her french teacher was Elder Mo. The old man had just returned from the hospital before the new year. He was already well, so he could not stay idle and visited his family during the new year. But it was especially cold in the capital this year. When he went out in the morning, he accidentally stepped on ice and fell to the ground. People in their seventies, how could they fall? Although they didn't break any bones, they hurt their knees. Now that they are in the hospital during the spring festival, Wenlao is exhausted.
While Zheng Minglong was still trying to find something to say, the sound of boarding came from the radio, and Zheng Mingfeng happened to come back from the bathroom, so he had to stop.
Li Haitang stood up and said to him, "I'm on the plane. I'll go first."
"Okay, bye." Zheng minglong smiled at her.
Li Haitang put the book in his bag and hung it on his right arm. He had a thermos in his right hand and a brown leather suitcase in his left.
Zheng Mingfeng didn't see her brother talking to her, saw the time, and dragged his luggage and family to follow.
Their seats were in the same cabin, but they were quite a distance apart. Li Haitang put the luggage in the luggage rack and continued to read the books, not even looking at the Zheng family.
By lunchtime, the stewardess brought lunch. Li Haitang took a few bites and got up to add some boiling water to the thermos. Then he sat in his seat and read until the plane stopped at the capital airport.
Li Haitang and the Zheng family were still getting off the plane one after another, keeping a distance of about ten meters between them.
"Xiao li, here." Uncle wu, the driver from mo's hometown, came to pick her up and waved at her the moment he saw her.
Li Haitang waved at him and quickened his steps.
Zheng Wentao and the others saw that the person who came to pick her up was about forty years old. He had a strong face and a tall and straight posture. He looked like a retired soldier from the army. Could it be that her friends from the military compound sent him to pick her up?
"Uncle wu, how is grandpa?" As soon as they met, Li Haitang asked anxiously.
Uncle wu smiled and replied, "Professor mo is fine. The doctor said it's best to rest in the hospital for about a week before leaving the hospital. What's not good is that professor wen is also ill. He had a high fever last night and was sent to the hospital."
"Ah!" Li Haitang was shocked. It seemed that granny gan had fallen ill because she was too anxious and caught a cold. She immediately urged, "Uncle wu, then take me directly to the hospital."
"Xiao li, why don't I take you home first and come back after dinner?" Uncle wu had been working in the Mo family for more than ten years. He had seen her take good care of the two old people for the past two or three years and was very fond of her.
Li Haitang shook his head, "No, go straight to the hospital and come home later."
"Okay."
Uncle wu helped her put her luggage in the trunk. Li Haitang immediately got into the co-pilot and quickly fastened her seat belt. She glanced at the Zheng family people and saw that they were shouting for a car. Zheng Minglong was looking at her and she waved at him.
Zheng minglong smiled at her. The smile was clean and pure, without any distractions.
Li Xiaoqin, who was half focused on her, naturally noticed the interaction between the two of them. She glanced at Zheng Mingfeng, who was standing silently on the roadside, and she felt a sense of indescribable sadness.
Wenlao had no serious physical problems, but he was caught in a cold, and the old man felt very weak when he got sick. When Li Haitang arrived at the hospital, she was on an iv drip, but she fell asleep, and the nanny was waiting by the side.
Li Haitang went to visit Elder Mo again. He was in better spirits and kept saying things like "Hard work." Fortunately, after asking the doctor, neither of them was in serious condition, so they could go home and take good care of themselves in a few days.
Mo Tingxuan and his wife, who were far away, heaved a sigh of relief when she took care of the two old men in the capital. Originally, Li Haitang didn't know what happened at the Mo family. Elder Mo insisted on not letting her family call her. It was Mo Tingxuan who was worried. He called Li Yuanhua's house and asked Li Haitang to take care of his grandparents. Although he had a nanny and a chauffeur at home, he still felt better with Li Haitang by his side.
In the past two or three years, although he had not returned from abroad, he had heard from his grandparents that he was a good girl who treated his grandparents as family. No matter how busy she was with her studies and work, she would take the time to visit them. Every two or three days, she would make a phone call to ask for warmth. She was more filial than his grandson.
With her taking care of them, three meals a day were delivered on time, and they were advised to eat well. Only then did the two old people recover very quickly.
Two days later, Wenlao was discharged from the hospital and went home to rest. Three days later, Elder Mo went home as well.
The two old men had many friends and colleagues. When they got home, there were a lot of guests who came to visit them. Li Haitang was busy greeting them.
