That night, Hao Mengyuan came to Qian Qianqian, Tong Tong originally planned to have a meal with them, but he didn't expect his adoptive father's condition to deteriorate suddenly. As soon as he received the call, his hands trembled very much. Hao Mengyuan said: "Don't panic, don't take a taxi, I'll take you to the hospital." ”

In a hurry, Tong Tong did not refuse. But to be honest, Hao Mengyuan's driving is not very reassuring, he always holds the handle above the co-pilot. He was very anxious, so he was not in the mood to teach her how to drive. It took a long time to park the car, and finally she said embarrassedly: "Why don't you get out of the car first, I'll fall slowly." ”

Tong Tong didn't say anything polite to her, said "thank you", and hurried to the ward. When Hao Mengyuan came up, Tong Tong had already finished talking to the doctor. He leaned limply against the wall, exhausted all over his body.

Lao Tong was sent to the ICU, and the doctor meant to prepare for the aftermath, but Tong Tong did not give up, and said to the doctor: "You do your best to save it, in case you can't save it, I won't be in a hurry." ”

The doctor still had a good impression of the father and son, the father was gentle and soft-hearted, and the son was polite and very filial. The medical staff who have dealt with them all hope that Lao Tong can survive this difficulty. But they also told the truth: "You must be mentally prepared, if you don't get it right, it's a matter of one or two days." ”

Because he saw an "old acquaintance", Tong Tong was not in a good mood that day. His adoptive father suddenly became critically ill, which made his already depressed mood worse. Hao Mengyuan couldn't think of anything to comfort him, so he could only persuade him palely - it's okay, it will definitely get better.

But she didn't believe it herself, because she had also experienced her mother's serious illness, and had waited all night outside the ICU, and finally witnessed her mother's death. Hope was shattered little by little, and her heart was torn to shreds, and she knew that feeling too well.

Probably because of a premonition that his adoptive father would not escape this catastrophe, Tong Tong informed a few close friends in the WeChat group. Sun Chengcai and Chen Zeping came in a hurry, they came in such a hurry that they didn't even change their clothes. They asked Tong Tong to be strong, sit down and wait for the news first, if there is anything to run errands, let them do it.

For the time being, they found a place to take a nap. Tong Tong leaned his head against the wall and said weakly: "It's not that I'm not strong enough, it's that my life is really hard." If my dad can't pass this hurdle, I will have a lot of regrets in the future. ”

"No, it won't. Hao Mengyuan comforted softly: "You are so filial, your father will definitely be reluctant to you, and he will not leave you." ”

Tong Tong smiled at her gratefully, and quickly pondered - he hadn't given Lao Tong anything special in the past few days, and he went home to make a paste of whole grains and grains for dinner, sent it to the hospital, and then fed him bite by bite. Because his father was in urgent need of nutrition and his stomach was very fragile, he had been putting a lot of thought into his father's diet, and he had to tell the nurses several times a day...... Hey, where's the nurse?

Tong Tong called the nurse, and he had already gone home to rest. The nurse was most annoyed by Tong Tong questioning his level of care, and he was worried about being held responsible, so he took the initiative and said angrily: "Everything is as usual today, except for pushing him to the outpatient clinic on the second floor to do an abdominal color ultrasound, I didn't expect it, he suddenly won't be able to do it." ”

Tong Tong covered his face, very uncomfortable. Hao Mengyuan listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and suddenly interjected: "His current state can't stand the stimulation, I don't know if he heard something, or saw someone?"

A sentence woke up the dreamer, and in the face of Tong Tong's questioning, the nurse insisted that no one came to visit Lao Tong. Tong Tong's tone was extremely firm: "Please think about it carefully, if there is something missing, it is considered a dereliction of duty, I will not only complain to you, but also deduct your salary." ”

The nurse just ate that he was easy to talk to, but he didn't expect him to be quite scary when he was hard. The nurse could only think about everything that happened that day as much as possible, and finally remembered: "Well, after the ultrasound, I went to the bathroom." ”

"How long have you been there?"

"It's only three to five minutes. ”

In that case, it should be more than five minutes. Tong Tong didn't continue to ask him, but frowned and thought, what happened in the past five minutes, or what could happen?

Hao Mengyuan was smart and clever, and did not interfere with him, but said to herself: "If the nurse didn't lie, then your father was probably stimulated by some kind and couldn't get up in one breath." Wait a little longer, maybe he'll wake up soon. ”

Tong Tong put his head against the wall again, quite desperate: "Teacher Hao, I don't like the word 'wait' the most, this word itself means unlucky. ”

Hao Mengyuan hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you still had these taboos." ”

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too superstitious. My master, grandmother, and Uncle Niu all told me that when I grew up, they would enjoy my blessings, but they didn't enjoy them—not exactly, at least I can take care of Uncle Niu's family now, although he is not conscious yet. Teacher Meng said that when I was admitted to university, he would tell me the secret of my life experience, but I didn't wait. I missed a lot with my adoptive father, and I wanted to repay him as best I could, so I didn't want to wait. ”

It turned out that he had sent away so many relatives, his life was indeed bitter enough, Hao Mengyuan regretted the mistake just now. She looked at the door of the ICU and said, "My mom was also in the intensive care unit, so I understand how you feel right now. At that time I cried all day, I missed my mother, I wanted to eat her cooking, I wanted her to sleep with me. I know she's sick, so I'm willing to cook for her, take care of her sleep, and do whatever I can for her. But my mom never came home. I sat here all day, except to pray for her, to blame the medical staff for not being able to do anything, hating myself for not being able to do anything, anxious, helpless, until I was completely desperate......"

She spoke calmly, but the tears could not stop flowing. Tong Tong hurriedly took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, Hao Mengyuan said "thank you", and smiled reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect to make you even more sad." ”

"No, human feelings are not the same, but I am very grateful that you empathize with my pain. ”

Hao Mengyuan smiled and nodded slightly. I thought to myself, he deserves to be a person who reads "Meditations", and is good at summarizing and thinking.

It was impossible for him to sleep tonight, Hao Mengyuan yawned all day, so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't bear to throw himself here to keep vigil. Tong Tong repeatedly urged her to go back, but she called Sun Ping'an first and told him about the situation here. Sun Ping'an immediately said: "You happen to be studying psychology, you should enlighten him there! I also want to go over, but I have to take care of Sun Jixiang, and he is crazy at home!"

Hao Mengyuan rubbed her temples, unwilling to think about the scene of the Sun family's chickens flying and dogs jumping. The more she didn't want to think about it, the louder Sun Jixiang shouted over there: "You don't care about your girlfriend, beware of her running away with someone else!"

"Babble, beat you little bunny!"

......

Ping Pong, jingle bell, I don't know what the brothers use as weapons, and they fight very hard. Hanging up the phone, Hao Mengyuan said to Tong Tong: "You can never imagine that Sun Ping'an can really beat his brother!"

“......”

A hermit with a breath of immortal aura would actually do it?

Hao Mengyuan said with a smile: "But Sun Jixiang deserves it, his temper is so bad that it's outrageous, I want to beat him!"

The Sun brothers were four years apart, and when the car accident occurred, he was just a primary school student, a genius boy who was even more dazzling than his brother. Because of the dazzling, so the car accident. After the car accident, he never got up again, and he never went to school again. The genius of the year, who became famous in Port City at the speed of light, fell again at the speed of light.

Even if Hao Mengyuan didn't say it, Tong Tong was enough to perceive Sun Jixiang's psychological changes - from a genius boy to a disabled boy, he definitely couldn't accept this gap, so his temper became worse and worse.

Hao Mengyuan slid her phone and said with a wry smile: "Isn't his temper just bad? His brother took the first grade exam, and he would definitely be sneering. said that if he was replaced, he would be able to get that score with only half of his brother's strength. His brother was accustomed to his cynicism and didn't care about him, and he ridiculed his brother for pretending to be high. He stayed at home, and often asked his brother for money, bought all kinds of electronic accessories online, disassembled and disassembled the computer, and made a mess of the house, which was more tossed than a husky. His parents couldn't stand him, and he could occasionally listen to me for a word or two. When I graduated from college, he had the idea of committing suicide, and his parents were very anxious and asked me to enlighten him. I knew he was not easy to deal with, so I prepared for a long time before going to talk to him. But do you know what he said? He leaned back in his wheelchair like an uncle, and said lazily: Sister, I have read all of Carnegie's books, and what a happy life is all fart! Or Schopenhauer has a point, life is a tragedy! The world is not worthy of my talent, and wise people are not appreciated!"

Tong Tong imagined the image of a lonely teenager in middle school, and jokingly asked, "Then did he have a dog like Schopenhauer, or was he full of contempt for women like Schopenhauer?"

Hao Mengyuan opened her mouth wide in surprise, obediently, the owner of the printing shop actually looked at Schopenhauer?!

But she quietly hid her surprise and continued: "You guessed it right, he did have a dog, and it was given to him by his brother. He despises women, but not so, because the people he admires the most are me and his mother, and his brother is the most annoying. ”

But even so, the person who silently avenged him was his brother, and even paid the price of suspension from school. But Tong Tong promised Sun Ping'an, so he kept his mouth shut about this part.

"And oh, that guy Sun Jixiang is really short-tempered, and he will pinch others if he doesn't agree with him. Once, I didn't know that his family's words stimulated him, he locked himself in the room to sleep, and then got up to play games, and found that the network at home had dropped, and he bit like a little wolf dog everywhere, blaming his parents for forgetting to pay the Internet bill, but his brother came and said, it seems that you are angry, and turned off the router! You said you want to sleep, and you won't let us go online. ”

Tong Tong, who had been frowning, couldn't help laughing, and Hao Mengyuan also smiled sweetly: "So Sun Ping'an called his younger brother 'little mad dog', and he started to turn around and bite his tail, and he didn't realize it." Sun Jixiang was speechless and didn't talk to his brother for several days. ”

The sense of the picture is too strong, Tong Tong laughed so much that tears came out. On this lonely and helpless night, it was rare for him to forget his troubles for a while. After laughing, he said sincerely: "Thank you, although I shouldn't do this, my mood is really much better." ”

"It's okay, these interesting things should be shared with each other!" Hao Mengyuan yawned and said, "It's twelve o'clock, and I don't know what's going on inside." ”

"You go back first! I have to go to work tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, I'm a night owl. Hao Mengyuan blinked mischievously: "If I tell the truth, will you drive me away?"

"What truth?"

"You're a man full of secrets, if you want, can you share them with me?"

Tong Tong was stunned for a moment: "Then what do you want to know?"

"Let's take tonight, after the nurse told you 'five minutes,' you've been very calm — in fact, you've been very calm in many situations that should have been surprising, did you know the answer in advance?"

"You're being blunt. Tong Tong smiled: "It's so straightforward that I can't hide it." I can tell you that my dad was most likely stimulated. Of the people who stimulated him, I thought of about three. One came to take revenge on me, the other persuaded me to go back to work, and the other was supposed to threaten me to leave the port city. ”

His gaze gradually became sharper, and he seemed to say to himself: "My dad is in a crisis, and I can't leave the hospital for the time being." If my dad survives, that's fine, and if he doesn't, I'll clean it up one by one, and I won't let anyone go!"
