No. 139 Arriving home

A man walked up to the three men, his back bowed and his hands behind his back.

The years are like a sharp knife, ruthlessly carving vicissitudes on his face. His face, which had been exposed to the sun and rain, was wrinkled like the bark of an old tree that had been dry for a long time, without a trace of luster and vitality. The silver hair had not been repaired for a long time, and the wind was blowing in a mess.

He is no longer the strong man, he is completely old, and the hardships of life have turned him into an old man. The slightly open lips express a simple smile, the upper lip is gray and shriveled, and the lower lip is white and chapped.

"You ...... It's coming!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the box in Liu Yudie's arms, which was pasted with a small photo of Liu Yang.

Liu Yudie knew that this person was his second uncle, Liu Li's father. She tried to call him, but she seemed frightened when she saw his hand. The fingers of these hands have become thick because of the long labor, and the knuckles that have been highlighted by the dryness are like small mountain bags, and there are many black dirt marks in the nails.

There was a band-aid on the index finger, faintly bloodstained, and a cut on the ring finger that had been opened due to dry cracking. It was not wrapped with a band-aid, so it was exposed. She had never seen a person's hands like this, and blamed her for growing up in the city.

Liu Li sighed: "Dye, Yudie, this is my father." ”

Bai Ran called out very obediently: "Hello uncle!"

"Second uncle is good!" Liu Yudie's voice trembled a little, she was actually still very timid.

The tears in his father's eyes were wiped and wiped, and his eyes were always on this small box. All the words turned into tears, and the younger brother he had been waiting for for so many years was right in front of him at this moment, in this box.

Liu Li told him early in the morning that he knew and didn't dare to tell Liu Li's grandmother and uncle, so he ran over from the hospital alone to greet his younger brother.

The father raised his head and looked at Liu Yudie and then at Bai Ran, and he said hoarsely, "Okay, I'm back." It's good to be back......"

"Your name is Liu Yudie?"

Yudie nodded, and his kind hands stretched out and said, "Give it to me, you have worked hard." ”

Taking the box from her arms and holding it in his arms, his tears fell and fell.

"Liu Yang, let's go home. ”

It was the second time Liu Li saw his father crying so sadly, and he himself was very sad, and the group came to the city hospital in silence.

The father said, "Your grandmother is too old to stand such a blow, so don't tell her about it." Leave her a thought ......"

Liu Li nodded: "Okay, what about the uncle's funeral?"

"Let's do it in the village, I have chosen the cemetery. Where is your mother, you go first, I'll take your uncle home first. ”

The father left, and he walked away with Liu Yang's urn.

Bai Ran comforted the two, and went to buy some fruit and said it was for his mother.

The three of them knocked on the door of the ward, and Liu Li couldn't stop crying as soon as he entered.

He didn't cry with his father before, but when he saw his mother like this, he couldn't help it.

Her face was as white as paper, and the potion was entering her body little by little from the tube, and even her bodily functions depended on these things. She was already lying motionless with the oil running out of the lamp, and her purple lips were under the oxygen mask.

Liu Li knelt down with a thud, holding her cold hand, and his voice was as hoarse as his father before.

"Mom, Mom, wake up, my son is back. Mom?"

Liu Yudie couldn't stand these scenes, she secretly wiped her tears when Liu Li's father cried before, on the one hand, her father, and on the other hand, her second uncle. She was already on the side, so it can be seen that when Liu Li cried at this time, she herself cried.

Bai Ran put the things on the table, and with tears in his eyes, he came to Liu's side and knelt down and shouted together.

"Mom!"

She shouted without the slightest discomfort, without the slightest awkwardness, and shouted very naturally and from the heart.

"Mom!"

"Mom?"

"Erniang?"

The mother slowly opened her eyes, and the confusion revealed the pain. She saw Liu Li and the woman beside him, and another girl, although she didn't know her, she found a familiar feeling from this girl.

She pulled the oxygen mask down and smiled, "Son, are you back?"

Liu Li's tears were even more abundant, and he held his mother's hand tightly: "Yes! I'm back!"

The mother's eyes looked at Liu Yudie, and her voice seemed to weaken a lot in an instant: "Are you Yudie?

When she woke up, her father told her about it, Liu Yudie squatted down by the bed, she wiped her tears and nodded fiercely: "Erniang!"

"Okay, it's good to be back, this is your father's home, and it will be your home in the future. We are all your family, good boy......" The mother's smile bloomed like a flower, she nodded slightly and looked at Bai Ran: "...... you?"

"Mom, this is your daughter-in-law, we're back together. Liu Li took Bai Ran's hand.

She smiled wider, but with a pained expression. She endured and looked at Bai Zhan: "Okay, good ......"

"Mom, stop talking. Bai Ran said with concern.

She was very relieved and happy that her son had grown up and had someone to accompany him. Liu Li smiled and wiped away his tears and brought the oxygen mask to his mother.

The three of them accompanied her like this, and her voice was heard through the oxygen mask, although small. She didn't want to sleep, he just wanted to hear some stories about his son outside, how he met Liu Yang, and the development of Bai Ran.

Liu Li told a white lie, and he had thought about this lie for a long time, so now he said that there was no problem. Even his father said so where he was, if his mother knew what he was doing now, and killing people. I'm afraid that if she gets angry again, something will happen......

Liu Li left halfway and came to the attending doctor. He signed and handed over more than 200,000 yuan to the hospital, and the money was his own 100,000 yuan, and it was out of the 300,000 yuan that Gao Jin took. The bone marrow had been found a year earlier, but there was no money at the time. No matter how much my father pleaded with the hospital or according to the rule of paying the money first, now the money has arrived. These doctors will naturally do what they need to do, but they have a message for Liu Li. It is very dangerous to have surgery until now, and the success rate is too low or even none.

Even if it succeeds and the bone marrow is alive, people can't last long. But Liu Li doesn't care, it doesn't matter if she pours everything into it now, as long as she can live for two more years.

When she came back, Bai Ran and Liu Yudie happened to be chatting with her mother, and it could be seen from her mother's expression that she liked these two very much. The smile on the face of chatting with them has never disappeared, and it has regained some of its vitality, anyway, it is the shortcomings of some parents.

Liu Li pushed the door in and said to Bai Ran, who was chatting with a smiling face: "You take your sister outside to see what is delicious, buy some back, and buy some porridge or soy milk for your mother." ”

Bai Ran was interested, and immediately took Liu Yudie's hand and said to his mother: "Mom, I'll go out first." ”

The mother smiled lovingly, and after they left, Liu Li sat down on the edge of the bed and looked into her eyes.

"Mom, I scheduled your surgery in three days. ”

There was no expression on her mother's face, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "What are you spending that money for? My own body knows that even if I have surgery, I won't be able to endure it for long." ”

Liu Li was silent, and his mother said: "In the past few years, I have been in pain, and I am thinking about when I can leave every night." But I was worried about you and Liu Qiao in my heart, and I still survived until now. But I'm also relieved, Liu Qiao is in the fourth grade, and he is also very sensible, and you have also found a daughter-in-law. My only regret may be that I didn't see you marry your daughter-in-law Liu Qiao. ”

In the past few years, she has already looked down on life and death, and even looked forward to the arrival of death.

Liu Li smiled, but he smiled as if he was crying: "What you can see, you must be able to." ”

Mother smiled: "Hopefully, Bai Ran is really good, you can know from her words and demeanor that she is a virtuous woman, and she always reveals her liking for you." It's just that her eyes are a little evasive when she looks at you, and she doesn't know if she's afraid of you or what. ”

Liu Li said: "It's good if you're satisfied." ”

Then he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mom, I'm fishing for the wrong door now, and ...... And I killed people, and so did my uncle. He also died because of ......"

He spoke slowly, from the time he met the king. There is no pretense or exaggeration in the process, and his mother has always been a friend to confide in in him, and there is nothing to hide. He spoke slowly, and his mother listened quietly.

After speaking, her mother was silent for a long time, and she sighed: "It turns out that Liu Yang has not dared to go home for so many years, but he has taken pity on Liu Yudie's child, what about her mother?"

Liu Li shook his head: "I have asked tentatively several times, but she just said that she had divorced a long time ago, as if she was divorced when Liu Yi died, and it seemed to be a little further away." ”

Mother said, "I don't care what you're doing, whether it's white or black. That's your way, the path you choose, just go by yourself. Whether the result is good or bad, even if you break your teeth, you have to swallow it in your stomach. ”

Liu Li nodded: "I remember." ”

"As long as you have a clear conscience, do what you think is right, and what is wrong or right is what someone else says, so don't worry about him. ”

Mother seems to have changed her previous opinion, she has always let Liu Li take the right path and work hard to make money. The money is clean, and he can use it with peace of mind, but now he sees it and chooses it himself.

When the two of them came back, they waited for their mother to eat a little and then fell asleep. Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, he opened a room outside for them to stay, and he himself returned to the hospital bed to continue to guard his mother.

During this period, the fat man called, and everything went smoothly in Longge. Wang Xuan will go over to help or something if he is fine, and there are still Huang Lao and Luo Feng, even if it annoys Da Ma. It's not that there is still royal power, so I have always asked Liu Li not to worry about anything.
