Chapter 291: Before the Sun Rises
In the middle of the night, those uniforms took the Qiao family's family to a guest house, and Qiao Jianjun insisted on staying in the hospital and letting his wife and daughter all go to rest.
He said that they can't do anything now, and there is no point in spending time here, so it is better to nourish their spirits. Qiao Nan's road to recovery is still very long, and they have to conserve their strength and take turns to take care of him.
Wen Jing didn't leave, she sat on the bench and took several naps, no matter how Qiao Lin persuaded her, she refused to leave. Qiao Lin originally thought she had a docile temperament, but only now did she realize that she was not Wen Jing's opponent in terms of stubbornness.
Also unwilling to leave was Zhao Yu, and he refused to say more, he had to stay in the hospital anyway. He is now more worried about Lao Qiao's state, this old man who is already half a hundred, after hearing that his son had an accident, he didn't shed a single tear. In the same way, he didn't close his eyes for a moment, and he stubbornly supported it until now.
But Zhao Yu understands that the old man has now reached his limit, and if he falls to the ground, something will happen. He chatted with Qiao Jianjun all over the place, and when he was tired of talking, the two of them leaned back on the chair and rested for a while.
Knowing that Zhao Yu was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, Qiao Jianjun was very upset: "Then you are leaving the army?"
"How could it be? I should have not worn enough of this military uniform if it weren't for the sake of taking care of my girlfriend? There are still many things I want to do in the army. ”
"Ambitious, good!" Qiao Jianjun said approvingly: "When I was a soldier, your army was famous, who didn't want to go to the army? At that time, Qiao Nan was determined to go there, and he had trouble with his mother...... But I like it, boy, ambitious!"
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Indeed, one of our officers and soldiers there is counted as one, and all of them are very ambitious. ”
"Alas, if you leave, Qiao Nan will have another good friend who can talk. ”
Zhao Yu was also very uncomfortable, but he took Qiao Jianjun's hand and said eagerly: "Uncle Qiao, Qiao Nan's popularity is good, don't worry about these things." ”
Qiao Jianjun closed his eyes again, and after taking a nap, he asked, "Xiao Zhao, what if...... I mean, if it was the thief's den you went to the night before yesterday, would you hurt like Qiao Nan?"
"Hmm......" Zhao Yu had a premonition of something, and he was already uneasy.
"Of course, those animals have two hits, but you are the elite of the army...... On the way here, I've been thinking about this question, according to Qiao Nan's strength, how could he be made like this by a few thugs? He is still an officer in the special forces, is it at this level? Or is there another reason?"
Zhao Yu's mind spun around several times, and finally decided to hide it first: "Uncle Qiao, Qiao Nan is defenseless, but they have weapons and equipment, especially they also have guns, which is enough for them to win." But they didn't take advantage of it, but were cleaned up by Qiao Nan, isn't this powerful enough? If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out so easily. As for whether there are any other hidden secrets, when Qiao Nan wakes up, let's ask him again!"
Qiao Jianjun stopped asking questions and closed his eyes again. At five o'clock in the morning, he grabbed a nurse and told her that he wanted to go in and see his son.
The nurse confirmed Qiao Nan's vital signs before allowing Old Qiao to go in to visit, but only gave him ten minutes and told him not to stay inside for too long.
Last night was Chinese New Year's Eve, the most important festival in the hearts of all Chinese. After an all-night of revelry, the whole city fell silent. Old Joe sat on the side of his son's bed and let out a long sigh, what a tormented Chinese New Year's Eve! This kid lying on the hospital bed, he is still unconscious and asleep, can he know what his family has experienced?
The slight ticking sound of those instruments gave Old Joe a little comfort. The machine is still running, which means that the son is still alive.
He never knew how to get close to his son, and he didn't know now. I wanted to hold his hand, both of which were tightly wrapped, and I wanted to touch his head, and the same was true of his head. Pull the quilt for him, and he was afraid of touching those life-saving tubes, so he was sent to the operating room again......
It's scary enough just thinking about it. In the end, Lao Qiao could only brush his son's half-exposed face with his big rough hand and said, "It's New Year, you should get up too." ”
All that answered him was the ticking sound.
"I know you have a grudge against me, and you don't even want to call me 'Daddy'. I used to be angry, but now I admit it. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, but your mother, your sister and sister are all getting sick. Especially your mother, who has been so sick, how can she stand this stimulation? Aren't you the most sensible? Are you willing to let them shed tears for you?"
The last time he came in to see his son, Old Joe had already said these words. Just like last time, my son still didn't react.
"The doctor said that if your brain is deprived of oxygen for a long time, it will cause some degree of brain damage. The doctor talked to me many times, but I couldn't understand many of them. Ruiyang explained it to me again, but I still didn't understand. But I also blame the doctors, why don't they say nice things, are they deliberately trying to scare me?"
"Alas, my father is not good, let me go through this, it is also God's punishment for me!"
Lao Qiao rubbed his face, but his son was still groggy, and his body didn't even move slightly.
"You dismantled the radio when you were a kid, and I knew you wanted to get a few more so that I could listen to it while I worked, but I beat you up anyway. At that time, you were only five or six years old, and you were so scared that you turned around and ran, and you didn't dare to go home at night. If you had a well-educated father, maybe he would be very happy -- my son has not finished kindergarten yet, he is so creative, and he will not be a scientist in the future? But you just have a father who has no money and no education, I don't see your creativity, I see your naughty mischief, and I feel sorry for the money on the radio...... Twenty years later, I still can't forget the way you trembled with fear. I haven't told you, in fact, I regretted it after beating you, and I have been regretting it for twenty years......"
"You helped Xu Wei cheat, and I really started harder. Xu Wei's child has a solid family, and he has the capital to make mistakes, but you don't have ...... You are the hope of the entire Qiao family, if you do something wrong, I will be very anxious, for fear that if you don't pay attention to it, you will go astray. It's me who is too harsh, but I never say these words to your face. ”
Now Qiao Nan is an absolutely quiet listener, this injury has indeed taken away all his vitality, and he is still sleeping without reacting.
"I lost my temper with you when you played games in college, so much so that you didn't call me for a long time. Later, Lao Fang told me that from the day you reported to work, a team cadre saw that you were not pleasing to the eye, and when you were in new training, he repeatedly troubled you. In less than a month, he punished you for doing push-ups several times, and he punished you in front of others. The democratic appraisal in the future will also deliberately embarrass you...... Such a blatant bully, you actually endured it, didn't tear your face with him, studied hard, trained hard, and blocked his mouth with results. After you became a sophomore and became the class president, he looked at you even more unpleasantly, and even the people around you were targeted...... You have reported to the school that the school does not pay attention to ...... I don't know about the bullying and grievances you suffered, I thought you played the game because you were naughty, but later I learned that you were resisting. But after all, you are young, what good fruits will you eat if you resist in the military academy? Fortunately, the leaders of your school are sensible and can help you get justice. You don't know how much I'm afraid of you being fired, and even more so afraid that you won't be able to become a qualified soldier...... But I'm still too strict with you, I forgot that you are also a child, and you should care about you first and then criticize you. You're bullied at school and you can't find comfort at home, so it's no wonder you're becoming more and more estranged from us. Thinking of this, Dad's heart hurt like a pinprick. ”
"What you complain about me the most should be the bad relationship with the Wen family. You don't understand why I can't wait to marry your current mother less than a year after your own mother is gone. not for anything else, but to feed you. I can live no matter how I do, and it doesn't matter if I die, but what are you going to do? You and your sister are so young, your grandmother is useless, and your aunt is an ignorant person, if I die, who will I entrust you to? Before your mother got married, this family really didn't look like a home, and your grandmother even had pesticides ready...... Fortunately, your mother appeared, and at that time the doctor said that she could not have children in her life, and she would treat you and your sister as her own...... She did exactly that, she saved all of our Qiao family. You can blame me for remarrying, but don't blame your mom. ”
Speaking of emotion, Lao Qiao is also a little sad. In the face of his unconscious son, he was calmer. If his son is awake, when will he be able to say these words?
"As for the Wen family, you don't need to forgive me. When your own mother just left, I pursued it for a long time, but the police didn't investigate, and I was still investigating. But my shoes are all torn, and I haven't found the murderer, you dad is so incompetent. I'm still saying the same thing, if I'm on my own, I can live whatever I want. But you can't, our family has to get by, we need that money. This is the most spineless thing I have ever done in my life, but for the sake of this family, I have no regrets. ”
"In this life, I owe you the most...... When you were a child, you took the first place in the exam, and you didn't want anything, so you wanted to go fishing. I promised you to take you with me, but it didn't work out once, and you waited for years in vain. I'm such a man of my word, I don't have the face to face you, the 'mother' you call is your stepmother, but I didn't tell you in advance, I hid it from you for fifteen years, and I should have sent you off when you went to college. You were only eighteen years old at the time, and if you go that far alone, you will be scared and you will need your parents...... If I had sent you, that team cadre might not have bullied you so much. Thinking about these things now, my heart is like a fire. I can't make up for the regrets of the past, but when you get better, I'm sure I won't be the same as before......"
It had already been more than ten minutes, and the nurse did not come to chase him away. Lao Qiao looked at the gradually clear sky outside the window, leaned down, leaned into his son's ear, and whispered: "Nan Nan, it's the New Year, and the sun is about to rise......"
Growing up, he barely called his milk name in front of his son, and he didn't notice that this "Nan Nan" made his son's right index finger move very slightly.
"I heard Ruiyang say that you can survive for a long time with these tubes, so Dad will definitely not give up your life and wait for the day you wake up. Even if you complain about me for the rest of your life, I hope you wake up soon. You've been so good since you were a child, and I'm so bad, but even so, you're still willing to be my son...... Thank you, Nan Nan......"
"Uncle, let's go out first! I'll keep you here. The nurse finally came to persuade him. I don't know if she heard something, her eyes were red.
"Okay, I'll go out. ”
Old Joe's waist was bent, and if the nurse hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have been able to stand up. The nurse opened the door for him, and he reluctantly glanced back. I don't know if it's an illusion, but my son's chest seems to have risen and fallen a little.
