Tao Yaping borelessly followed her "cousin" out of the kitchen. Liu Zhehao was playing in the living room with an iPad, and the two mothers each chose a sofa to sit on.

"How's the injury to your arm?" Tao Yaping took the lead in picking a topic to talk about, "When I first saw you put away the dishes and chopsticks, I didn't seem to use my left hand. ”

Tao Yatong glanced at his left arm and said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, it was just a small cut." She glanced at the person sitting across from her, and seemed to think that she should be polite and concerned about the other person, so she asked, "You...... Where's your leg?"

Tao Yaping "snorted" and couldn't hold back her laughter.

She laughed at herself, originally looking for a topic to talk about in order to avoid embarrassment, but she didn't expect to pick the most embarrassing entry point for each other - it was they who gave each other a knife and caused each other to hurt. Now I'm here to ask how the other person's injuries are. Isn't that too ironic?

After laughing, Tao Yaping still replied matter-of-factly: "Except for walking and a little lame, nothing else will affect it." So I plan to cancel my leave to Director Ma and go back to work on Monday. ”

"Next Monday?"

"That's right. Tao Yaping sighed and laughed at herself: "It's not a way to stay at home like this, your salary will be deducted." ”

Tao Yatong frowned and wanted to confirm: "Next Monday is the 23rd?"

"Well, yes. What's wrong?"

"You don't have to go. Tao Yatong simply and decisively threw out a sentence.

"Why?" Tao Yaping was puzzled.

Tao Yatong was expressionless and explained calmly: "On the 23rd, your kidney stones will attack, and you will roll on the ground in pain." Even when I went to work in the laboratory, I still had to take leave and go to the hospital. Why bother. ”

"Kidney...... Kidney stones?" Tao Yaping stared, shocked and suspicious, "Are you not mistaken?

Tao Yatong pursed her lips slightly contemptuously and said calmly: "In fact, it has been a long time. It's just that the annual physical examination of the unit in the past was too rough and could not be detected. April 23 of this year will be your first seizure. Then the hospital will confirm the diagnosis and give you a three-day injection. Only then can people slowly recover. Actually, this is one of the purposes of my visit today, and I originally intended to tell you about it. ”

Tao Yaping's expression was entangled and she didn't say a word. She knew that she shouldn't doubt what people from the future were saying, but she couldn't help but deceive herself and didn't want to believe that it was true. It's no wonder that anyone has an instinctive resistance to illness.

Tao Yatong did not receive a response, and had to continue to add: "It's dark now." If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital tomorrow for an ultrasound first and see the results in advance. I remember it was...... There is a small one on the left and two on the right, slightly larger. ”

Tao Yaping exhaled deeply, turned to look at herself from another dimension, and asked cowardly, "According to this, aren't you ...... Too?"

Tao Yatong looked indifferent, nodded her head, and replied unabashedly: "That's right, I have it too." ”

Seeing that the other party was still difficult to let go, she comforted her in an indifferent tone: "You don't have to worry too much, this is not a serious illness, and it will not kill people." It's just that it hurts once in a while. Once the pain starts, it is really painful, and nothing can be done, so you have to go to the hospital to inject antispasmodic drugs to relieve it. But when you don't have a seizure, you're a normal person who doesn't have any illness or disaster, and you won't be aware of its existence at all. Just like you and I am. Anyway, it only happens once a year at most, so it's not scary. ”

Tao Yaping listened to the enlightenment of the people who came over, and her heart was slightly soothed. But another question seemed to immediately come to mind: "It's not that I don't believe your words." It's just that...... How can you remember it so clearly? More than 10 years ago, you can even remember the date so accurately?"

Tao Yatong sneered and asked softly, "Have you forgotten what day April 23rd is?"

On April 23rd, Tao Yaping hurriedly searched desperately in the memory bank.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning "whizzed" through his head. Oh my God, it turned out to be her wedding anniversary!

On April 23, 2008, she and Liu Cong went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and get a certificate, and a few days later they held a wedding in a luxurious star-rated hotel. By 2018 of the year, a whole decade. She once fantasized about how to celebrate this ten-year tin wedding to be warm and romantic enough.

But half a year ago, Liu Cong confessed to her that he had cheated on Duan Meimei, which made her mind suddenly confused, and then in the past month, the unexpected appearance of the "masked killer" forced her to focus all her energy on the "mask woman". was so busy that she forgot about the wedding anniversary she valued the most. If she hadn't been reminded at this time, she would never have remembered this incident.

Tao Yatong looked at her expression and knew that she had recalled, so she continued to say coldly: "On such a special day, I was alone in the hospital with pain and died, and I was injected with needles for seven hours, but no one cared about it. You say, how could I have forgotten this day. If it's you, you'll remember it for the rest of your life. ”

Tao Yaping raised her eyes to look at "Yatong", her face was heavy, and she wanted to speak twice. She didn't know what else she could say to comfort others after all these years. She couldn't even tell whether she should be more pitiful to the other party or more sorry for herself in this situation.

The two were silent for a while. Tao Yatong saw that everything that should be said was said, so she opened her mouth and prepared to leave: "For me, this matter has been a long time ago, and I have long been out of my mind. But for you, it's something you're about to face and experience. I'll tell you in advance, and I'm also hoping that you will be prepared. It's getting dark today, so I'd better go back first, and you can rest early. Monday...... It's best to stay at home and don't rush to work. With that, he got up.

Tao Yaping was still in a trance, so she didn't pretend to stay more, but also stood up and sent the other party to the gate politely. And called Hao Hao over and said goodbye to the guests.

"My leg is still inconvenient, so I won't send you. ”

Yatong glanced at the child and replied calmly and crisply: "No need to send it, go in." Then he turned and walked away.

Tao Yaping suddenly heard that she was sick and didn't sleep well all night. Early on Sunday morning, she couldn't hold back the apprehension in her heart and ran to the hospital for a check-up.

Sure enough, one on the left and two on the right are true.

The doctor said that the stone is not large and can be left untreated. Start with conservative therapy and try to excrete it naturally. If it doesn't hurt, ignore it, just remember to drink more water and jump more in the future. When the pain starts, come to the hospital for examination and treatment.

"Could it be...... Is there no way to prevent it? Do you have to wait for it to attack before you start dealing with it?" Tao Yaping asked unwillingly.

"Any treatment is harmful to the body, even if it is just a small injection, the drug will have various side effects. The doctor explained impatiently. "The best way to deal with this small stone is to leave it alone and try to get rid of it naturally. After all, you're not at the point where you have to intervene. ”

Tao Yaping couldn't be stubborn anymore, so she had to go home depressed. She can't tell the doctor crazy things like "I don't hurt today, but I will hurt tomorrow". Now she really couldn't do anything but wait, waiting with trepidation.

"Predicting the future in advance is not always a good thing. She smiled bitterly in her heart.

At around 8:00 p.m., Tao Yatong suddenly came uninvited.

"I'm afraid that when you get sick tomorrow, there will be no one here to help. "So...... I wonder if I can sleep here tonight. In case anything happens, there is a personal care to take care of it. ”

Tao Yaping didn't expect her to be so concerned about her own affairs, and she couldn't help but be surprised. But the other party's attitude is sincere and his words are sincere, and there is really no reason to refuse. So while verbally expressing his gratitude, he cleaned up the guest room on the first floor and let Yatong stay for the time being.

But before going to bed, I thought about it and still felt unsure. So he crept to the children's room, secretly carried his sleeping son to his bed, and locked the bedroom door tightly.

The next morning, events turned out exactly as predicted.

Bursts of intense pain in the lower abdomen woke Tao Yaping from her sleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was only 7:20. The predecessor was right, today is the day of her first attack of kidney stones. Although I was mentally prepared, I still didn't expect the time to be in time for this early morning.

She pressed her hand tightly against her right lower abdomen, struggling to get out of bed and wash. No, it hurts so much that I can't stand at all! Only by curling up and pressing the pain point can I barely feel better. But I finally learned how serious this disease is. I don't want such a small stone hidden in a person's body to burst out with such a huge power.

You won't be able to drive your child to school. Fortunately, the man had the foresight to stay last night. Now it's really coming in handy.

Tao Yaping went down to the first floor with her stomach in her hands and woke up Yatong in the guest room.

As soon as Yatong opened her eyes, she understood everything. She immediately got up to wash, and then went to the children's room to urge Hao Hao to get up and dress. All procedures are orderly and orderly. Like a skilled mom who has to do these things over and over again every day, there is no sense of rustiness.

Half an hour later, she took Hao Hao out of the house and promised to return as soon as she arrived at the school and go to the hospital together.

My son will not be late for school, and Tao Yaping's heart is finally half of the ground. But waiting left and right, Tao Yatong did not return home for a long time.

No, they left the house before eight o'clock. On the way the child has breakfast, 20 minutes. I can also get to school before 8:30 a.m. It's almost 9 o'clock now, and it stands to reason that the child should have turned around and come back. Did something happen on the way?

Tao Yaping forced herself to finish grooming, changed her clothes again, and continued to go back to the bed. She waited anxiously, so she urged Yatong to make a call.

"Hey, where are you?

"Uh...... Oh...... The road is a bit congested. Rest assured, I'm back and in the community. Coming soon. ”

The other party's answer was not smooth enough, and his voice was not as cold and indifferent as usual, it sounded a little hasty and flustered.

Tao Yaping didn't have the heart to think about it, but breathed a sigh of relief. If you return, you will be saved immediately.

But 2 minutes later, not only did she not see Tao Yatong enter the house, but she also heard the doorbell downstairs suddenly ring.

Huh? No. The front and rear doors are iris locks, Yatong can come in directly at any time, and there is no need to ring the doorbell at all. But if it's not Yatong, who will it be?

She pressed her stomach hard, endured the pain, got out of bed, and moved out of the bedroom again. As soon as I reached the edge of the stairs, I saw that the door on the first floor was open.
