Zhang Zi'an watched Fina and the snow lion run away, and picked up Zhulan and returned to the second floor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guo Dongyue and Aunt Bai had already entered the house, the door was ajar, he pushed the door in and closed the door with his hand.

A common problem in old houses is that the interior lighting is not good, and this house is no exception. There are a lot of sundries in the house, but they are also clean, and it seems that Aunt Bai is still very diligent.

Although the house is old, the electrical appliances are very new, and Guo Dongyue should have bought them back.

The smell of food wafted from the kitchen, and Guo Dongyue's anxious voice.

"Mom, you quickly put down the spoon and let Aunt Bai do it. ”

"Come on, old sister-in-law, give it to me. ”

Zhang Zi'an walked over and stood at the kitchen door and looked in.

A pot of soup was simmering on the gas stove, and Guo Dongyue and Aunt Bai were holding an old woman wearing an apron and short ear-length hair on the left and right, and they were taking the long spoon out of her hand with persuasion and coaxing. The old woman's eyes flickered, sometimes as clear as a normal person, and sometimes blank.

"Swallow, who is this? The old woman asked Aunt Bai in confusion.

"Old sister-in-law, this is your son Xiaoyue. Aunt Bai took the long spoon, opened the lid of the pot and looked at the heat, poked the spoon into the soup and stirred it slightly, and then put it back on. She said it so skillfully, as smoothly and naturally as if she had said it countless times.

"My son......" The old woman smiled and looked at Guo Dongyue, her eyes instantly glowed, her lips opened slightly to say something, Guo Dongyue also looked at her expectantly.

However, in the next second, the brilliance in her eyes faded, and her gaze went straight around him, staring at the wall clock on the wall, just like Guo Dongyue was a transparent person, and muttered: "Why hasn't this kid come back yet, ......Xiaoyue?"

This is one of the obvious features of Alzheimer's syndrome, in which people do not see with their peripheral vision like normal people, and their vision is blurred beyond the focal point, even a few centimeters next to the wall clock.

In just a few seconds, the expression on Guo Dongyue's face changed from heaven to hell.

Aunt Bai turned down the fire on the gas stove, put the long spoon aside, and comforted: "The doctor didn't say it, this disease can't be reversed, don't be too sad." ”

"Yes, yes......" Guo Dongyue was stunned and smiled bitterly, "Aunt Bai, you're right. ”

"This is fate!" Aunt Bai folded her hands on her abdomen and said very seriously: "I know you young people don't believe this, but this is fate, and my old sister-in-law should suffer this sin in her life—but you think, at least this disease will not hurt, it will not be uncomfortable, it is much better than many worse diseases." ”

Zhang Zi'an felt that what she said was not unreasonable, and it could indeed play a comforting role. Aljanheimer syndrome is a terminal illness, but it leaves plenty of time for the patient's loved ones and friends to accompany and say goodbye, and in that sense, it is a rather benevolent terminal illness...... It's just that the blow to the soul is too heavy.

At this time, Guo's mother noticed Zhang Zi'an standing at the door of the kitchen, was slightly stunned, and asked, "May I ask ...... you are?"

Zhang Zi'an gave full play to his usual ability to open his mouth, and replied without thinking: "My surname is Zhang, I am Guo Dongyue's teacher, and I came to visit my home today." ”

Guo Dongyue: "......"

Zhang Zi'an said it seriously, he said nonsense without blinking, if it weren't for Guo Dongyue's understanding of his character, I'm afraid he would really believe it.

Guo's mother believed it. She was stunned for a moment, and said nervously: "Dongyue...... Is he okay? Did something happen at school? It's so late and he hasn't come home yet......."

Zhang Zi'an smiled calmly, "Nothing happened, because he was on duty today, so he will come back a little later." ”

"Oh, then I'm relieved. Guo's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Dongyue and Aunt Bai were stunned, because they found that Guo's mother was really relaxed, and her whole person's spirit was different from just now, and her face was full of tranquility and peace.

Especially Guo Dongyue, he suddenly had the feeling of being created and making people - every time he struggled to tell her the truth, it was a kind of torture for her and him, but it was not as good as Zhang Zi'an's understatement.

He repeatedly reviewed in his heart, his mother looked at his watch frequently at noon every day, and muttered why Xiao Dongyue hadn't come back yet, why didn't he think of using a harmless lie to reassure her?

The same is true for Aunt Bai, she takes care of Guo's mother every day, and Guo's mother is restless at noon every day, she will also say at first that Dongyue has grown up and has his own job, and there is no need to wait for him to come back for dinner, but after a long time, she feels annoyed, and gradually adopts an attitude of ignorance, or casually perfunctory.

"Teacher Zhang, please take a seat. Guo's mother politely let Zhang Zi'an into the living room and invited him to sit down.

Zhang Zi'an took out the style of being a teacher, sat on the sofa with peace of mind, and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Teacher Zhang, I don't think I've seen you before, may I ask which subject you teach?" asked carefully with Guo's mother.

Zhang Zi'an said: "Chinese, and I am also his homeroom teacher. ”

"Ah, isn't the head teacher Teacher Liu?"

"It's a substitution. I am the new class teacher, and Ms. Liu is on maternity leave. ”

"Maternity leave?" Guo's mother was stunned again, "Teacher Liu is a man!"

"......" Zhang Zi'an improvised, "It's a man, but his wife gave birth to a child, and he also went with him on maternity leave...... Let's not talk about that, let's talk about your children. ”

Guo Dongyue waved his hand at Aunt Bai and asked her to continue cooking first, and he stayed in the living room to silently watch Zhang Zi'an talk with his mother. At this time, the mother seemed to be in a good state, concentrated, fluent in thinking, and spoke appropriately, and she had a normal reaction to every word Zhang Zi'an said, and she couldn't tell that she was a patient with Alzheimer's syndrome at all.

He understood why, and she was concerned about her son's performance at school, which had caused her remaining normal brain cells to run at full speed, like a dying bonfire being awakened by a sudden breeze. Unlike a campfire that burns at an accelerated pace, it is clearly good for her brain cells to run at full speed.

Zhang Zi'an didn't know what Guo Dongyue was like when he was in middle school, but it didn't matter what the real situation was, he just praised the son she remembered as much as he could, and every word made the wrinkles in the corners of Guo's mother's eyes bloom like flowers.

Sometimes, what people with Alzheimer's syndrome need is not the truth, because the truth is quickly forgotten, and they need more care and happiness. Guo Dongyue is an overly serious person, he doesn't have the ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open like Zhang Zi'an, and his worry about his mother makes him always have a tight face, and sometimes even he hates his own face.

Time passed minute by minute, and his mother had been awake for an unusually long time this time, how Guo Dongyue wished that time could slow down its pace and let this moment stay here...... It would have been better if it was him who sat in front of her and talked eloquently.

Zhang Zi'an changed the topic and asked Guo's mother: "I heard that you have two parrots at home, right?"

A smile appeared on Guo's mother's face, "Yes, my parrot...... My parrot...... My parrot ......"

Her mind suddenly broke off, like a clock with its hands jammed, repeating the same sentence over and over again.
