Chapter 5, Section 6 Lan Xin reads the article aloud for Qin Shi
The smell of Chinese medicine wafted away from the kitchen, and there was a clay sand jar sitting on the stove, steaming out with a puff. The amount of traditional Chinese medicine is large, and the soup is also large, so Lan Xin washed it with the original ceramic barrel containing lard at home as a container for the charge, and poured it into the ceramic barrel after the Chinese medicine was boiled, and then put it in a thermos cup in three times and gave it to Qin Shi to take.
According to the doctor's instructions, Yuejin also had to take traditional Chinese medicine, but Yuejin's attitude was extremely resolute, Lan Xin didn't drink it when he was boiled, and broke the medicine bowl. Lan Xin had no choice but to give up. So Lan Xin put his mind on boiling medicine for Qin Shi, and devoted himself to boiling a soup with full medicinal effect according to the doctor's instructions.
On this day, Lan Xin was in a very happy mood, because Qin Shi told her that after taking the Chinese medicine she boiled, the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy were significantly reduced, and the mouth ulcers did not continue to worsen.
This kind of heart can only be produced after she can untie her heart knot, before that, she had a deep misunderstanding of Qin Shi on the one hand, and her hatred for Qin Shi is difficult to eliminate; on the other hand, she always can't let go of him, and she cares about him from the heart; this kind of contradiction has tormented her for decades, but now it's okay, her hatred is gone, and she sees Qin Shi everything back to the mentality of her college days, everything about him is good.
He went south to Shenzhen and left me alone, just because he strayed into the black brick kiln, this is not his fault, if you want to distinguish between right and wrong, there is only one answer, that is, he was wrong. A wrong person should do more for the other party, whether it is "atonement" or "compensation", and understand that it is always right to reciprocate. Lan Xin treats matters related to Qin Shi with such a heart.
Letting go of the blocks in her heart, her mood is naturally happy. While boiling medicine, she gently hummed the song "The sky in the liberated area is a bright day, the people in the liberated area like it so much, democracy loves the people, and the kindness of the Communist Party is endless......"
Humming a song, she expertly poured the boiled Chinese medicine into a ceramic bucket, then put it into a thermos cup, tightened the lid, and placed it on the cutting board.
In fact, what made her a little excited today was that she found an article "If Today is the Last Day of My Life" last night, she felt that the sadness in Qin Shi's heart was a good medicine, from today on, she would not only have to boil Chinese medicine for Qin Shi every day, but more importantly, send him spiritual food, so that he could get rid of the lingering sadness and residual doubts about death in his heart earlier and faster, so that he could fully recover physically and mentally.
"It's what I can do, and I won't slack off," she swore to herself.
When Lan Xin pushed open the door of Qin Shi's ward, Qin Shi just woke up from sleep, looked at the ceiling with his eyes open and thought about his thoughts, Lan Xin went to get a hot towel to wipe his face, and then sat down on the side of his bed, and asked softly: Are you resting well?
Qin Shi nodded and replied: With so many of you to take care of me, can I be bad? Lan Xin, thank you for your hard work!
What do you say?Qin Shi, do you and I still need to be polite?Lan Xin said with a smile.
No, Lan Xin, I'm not polite, I'm grateful to you from the bottom of my heart!" Qin Shi said sincerely.
Qin Shi, I have a new idea now, I want to read an article for you every day when you are free, is it okay? Lan Xin said as she took out a magazine from her handbag.
Qin Shi smiled and did not speak.
Don't you believe in my reading skills? Qin Shi, I'm a senior Chinese teacher in middle school! How about letting me read to you a copy of Ogur Mandino's "If Today Is the Last Day of My Life?"
"Okay", Qin Shi still listened to Lan Xin's recitation when he was in college, and today's proposal of Lan Xin, for him, is not in Lan Xin's reading of the content of the article, just from Lan Xin's motivation for reading aloud, he can't refuse. I
So, Lan Xin began her reading.
"If today is the last day of my life, first of all, I must cherish today's time and not let it be wasted. I will no longer sigh for the misfortune of yesterday, the past is unfortunate enough, don't take my own today. Can time be turned back? Can the earth be turned backwards? Can the wounds of yesterday be healed? No, let the past pass forever, and I don't think about it anymore. And tomorrow is an unknown for me, so I don't want to have extravagant hopes and fantasies, just grasp today. ”
"If today is the last day of my life, this is the only day I have, the eternity of reality. I want to embrace the new sun with tears of joy. I threw up my hands and cheered about this unbeatable day. I am truly a very lucky person, and today's time is an additional reward from heaven. How many strong people have gone before me, how many old friends have not survived, and I can get this extra day? It is the mercy of the Creator that has given me one last chance to achieve myself, and I thank God!"
"I want to prove my worth, I will treat my family with love, I will be enthusiastic about helping my friends, I will be willing to give everything I have, because tomorrow I will not be able to give, and no one will be able to receive, I will turn my last days into my immortal today, and turn every minute and second of the day into nectar, share it with others, and appreciate the preciousness of life together. I'm going to redouble my efforts to make every second of today better than yesterday's hour. Even though it's the last, and the last is the most beautiful."
Lan Xin's affectionate reading infected Qin Shi, and a line of tears quietly crawled through his eyes. Lan Xin leaned down and wiped tears away from him with the palm of her hand.
There was a terrible cry outside the ward, and I don't know which patient has passed away, and today will be the last day of his or her life.
