Meng Lu ...... "My mother called me, from such a distance, through the blurred glass, I could see that her eyes were red and swollen like rabbits.

"Mom, calm down, there is no obstacle in this world that you can't get over, you have to think clearly. "I wiped my eyes, it hurt, I cried a lot today, my eyes were already rubbed by me.

My dad is stupid and stupid now, because one arm is broken, and he hangs on his neck with a plaster, and his strength is not as good as before, and after hitting my mom a few times, he is so tired and out of breath that he has to stop.

My mom was silent for a while, and finally pushed my dad, and finally got up and opened the door for me, and I threw myself into my mom's arms and hugged her and started crying.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while before wiping each other's eyes.

I took my mom's hand and walked to my dad's bedside, and assured her seriously, don't say that my dad is only Alzheimer's now, even if he is hemiplegic, I will not leave him alone, and ask her to stop doing anything to my dad.

As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live, no one has the right to deprive my dad of his life, the law has not yet agreed to euthanasia, not to mention that she is not euthanasia for my dad, but a deliberate murder.

My mom nodded and promised me that it wouldn't happen again, she just didn't think about it for a while, and then the two of us went to fetch some water and scrub my dad's body.

In the evening, Lu Zhenting came again and brought dinner to the three of us, he is really a very careful and extremely caring man, and he is probably the only one who will help me at this time.

At this time, my mother had calmed down, her mood was quite stable, she didn't cry or make trouble, and when she saw Lu Zhenting bring the food, she thanked her and began to feed my dad quietly.

Lu Zhenting quietly gave me a look, and I said hello to my mother and went out with him.

"Yebai is coming back. As soon as I walked out of the ward, Lu Zhenting told me.

"What?" is he coming back? Is he finally coming back?

"It's just a matter of the next few days. Lu Zhenting said.

"By the way, didn't he go on a honeymoon trip with Song Qingya? Why did I still see her working in the hospital today?" I asked Lu Zhenting suspiciously.

"I don't know about this either, you can ask him when he comes back. Lu Zhenting glanced at the ward, "What are you going to do now, do you want to take your parents to the apartment to live with you?"

I thought about this in the afternoon, I can't afford to buy a house for the time being, and I can't move outside the island to live, otherwise it will take several hours just to go to work every day.

"I want to rent a two-bedroom apartment near the company, and now I don't feel comfortable living with them. "That's my current solution, like Liss, everyone lives together and takes care of each other.

"That's fine. Lu Zhenting nodded.

After chatting with Lu Zhenting in the corridor for a while, he left, and I also went back to the ward, where my mother finished feeding my dad and was waiting for me to eat together.

I didn't have much of an appetite, so I ate two bites with her and put down my chopsticks.

Seeing that my mother was in a good mood, I brought up the old matter again and asked Meng Shuwei what she told her in the afternoon, if I didn't figure it out, I would definitely not be able to sleep at night.

"It's all in the past, you better not ask, I don't want to mention it again. My mother still refused to tell me, sighing, "I never thought that Xiaowei was such a ruthless person and could say so ugly words." ”

Looking at my mother's sad expression, I just didn't dare to continue asking any more anxiously, so as not to irritate her again, isn't there a saying that curiosity kills cats.

We live in the world, it is impossible to know everything, everything is to the bottom of the matter, it is easy to offend people, the so-called rare confusion, I will be confused this time.

I wanted to stay in the hospital at night, but my mother said that my dad was fine, and that I didn't need to be here, so I could go back and sleep well, and I would go to work tomorrow.

I was really tired, and I didn't close my eyes for two days and one night, but I was still not very relieved, and finally warned my mother, "I can go back tonight, and even go to work tomorrow, but you must promise me that you must not do anything stupid again, I really can't accept any blows, can you give me some hope for life?"

My mom's face was heavy, "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive anymore." ”

I went back to sleep that night and bought breakfast early the next morning to go to the hospital, when my parents were still asleep and they were both asleep, and it seemed that they were tired too.

I couldn't bear to wake them up, put breakfast on the cabinet, put a post-it note by the way, stood aside and watched them go to the company, and brought lunch over during the lunch break, and it was still Lu Zhenting who drove me.

In the afternoon, I looked at the house on the Internet, chose a set that looked good, and planned to go to see the house tomorrow, because my dad will be discharged soon, and I have to arrange a place to live before he is discharged.

I went to the hospital to see them after work in the evening, and I told my mother about it by the way during dinner, and wanted her to go with me to see the house, after all, she would also live in it in the future, and it would be good to listen to her opinion.

My dad can't take care of himself and can't leave anyone around him for a moment, so I'm ready to find a caregiver to accompany him, there should be no problem, after all, he is very well-behaved most of the time and won't make trouble.

But my mother didn't agree, and threw the lunch box into the garbage basket after eating, "I've already thought about it, I'll keep the money you gave us first, and I'll give you the house outside the island, whether you want to sell it or rent it, we don't care." ”

I shook my head and refused, "I don't need your house, I can't live so far away, it's better for you to keep it, if you don't want it, let Zhou Mingchuan help you sell it, didn't he help buy it at that time?"

As a result, my mom said something that almost made me bite my tongue, "I'm going to live in a senior living apartment with your dad, and we won't need that house." ”

"What can I do?" I was immediately anxious, they had two daughters, and I was still single, how could I let them go to live in an apartment for the elderly?

"I thought about it for a day and figured it out, all this is our own doing, no matter what, we can't drag you down. "My mom didn't look like she was joking at all.

I looked at my mother in surprise, "Mom, what are you talking nonsense? I will never agree to let you live in an apartment for the elderly, I can afford to support you, although I can't accompany you 24 hours a day, but I can guarantee that I will go home after work." ”

My mom took my hand, "Listen to me, if you find a good family in the future, we won't have the face to go to the wedding, you just give me a call, you can come and see us if you have time on the weekend, maybe your dad can remember something." ”

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world, my mother is still thinking about my dependence for the rest of my life, and what can I do for them?

When I thought back to the time I lived at home last year, it was the darkest October of my life, and I couldn't even imagine that my father, who was about to strangle to death, would become the stupid person he is today, and that my mother, who had lied to me with clever words, would say such things.

"Mom, don't, don't be like this, you gave birth to me and raised me, gave me life, and worked hard all my life, how can I leave you at this time? Who can you treat me for?"

"I've already decided, I haven't made a few decisions for myself in my life, don't persuade me, there's nothing wrong with an apartment for the elderly, everyone is elderly, and there are topics to talk about living together. "My mother looks like a king who eats scales and has an iron heart.

I persuaded my mother for a long time, and her saliva was dry, but she didn't want to go in with me, and she didn't want to be with me even if I took a step back and asked them to move back to live outside the island, for fear that it would drag me down to find a partner.

This is not enough, at first it was obvious that I was persuading her, but it turned out that she persuaded me to be with Lu Zhenting, which made me cry and laugh, and explained a lot.

In the end, I was forced by her to say nothing, so I could only agree to let them live in the senior apartment, and she still wanted to find her an elderly apartment as soon as possible.

I didn't want to ask Lu Zhenting for help with these things, so I had to ask for leave again, he understood my difficulties, he didn't say anything, as long as I said hello, he was allowed to leave.

I'm glad I resigned and left that company, otherwise I would have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and I would have asked for leave at every turn, and I guess I wouldn't be stinky to death by Jiang Lingna's face, but I would also be angry with her scolding.

There are a lot of apartments for the elderly, I shop around like buying things, and finally pick the one with the best evaluation and let them move in first, ready to slowly persuade my mother later.

The nurses inside have a good attitude, and I am relieved to have them take care of my parents, which seems to be better than letting them live with me, at least they have someone to accompany them during the day.

My parents' affairs came to an end, and I didn't ask if Meng Shuwei knew they were here, and I never mentioned this person in front of my mother after that time.

From looking for an apartment for the elderly to letting my parents move in, it was only a week, during which I did not ask Lu Zhenting for help, and it was time for me to learn to deal with problems by myself, and it was not a long-term solution to find someone to help me in everything.

With my parents' problem solved, my life returned to normal, commuting to and from work on time every day, repeating the same thing.

I remember that when I was in the hospital before, Lu Zhenting told me to let it go, Jin Yebai was coming back, but a week has passed, but I haven't received a call from him, and I can't help but be a little anxious.

"Zhenting, when will Xiaobai come back? Didn't you say that it would only be these few days?" After waiting for more than ten days and not seeing Jin Yebai come back, I finally couldn't help but ask Lu Zhenting.

"He's already back, it seems that he arrived the day before yesterday, what's the matter, didn't he contact you?" Lu Zhenting looked up and looked at me in surprise.

It's been three days since Jin Yebai came back, but he hasn't even sent me a message? Did he forget about me, or did he not want to contact me at all?

I was sad, shook my head sadly, and said self-deprecatingly: "No, maybe I forgot that there is still me." ”

"No, it won't. Lu Zhenting touched his chin thoughtfully, "I think he should have been delayed by something, and when he came back, he only sent me a message to report that he was safe, and he didn't call." ”

"Oh, maybe. I lowered my head and stopped talking.

After another three days, I finally received a call from Jin Yebai, asking me to have dinner together after work, because by the way, I also made an appointment with Lu Zhenting, and I took his hitchhiker after work.

He left at the beginning of May, and now halfway through August, we have only been separated for more than three months, which is very short compared to the ten years we have known each other.

But when I saw him in the restaurant, I couldn't help but have red eyes, so I almost threw myself into his arms and hugged him and cried loudly.

For more than three months, I think he was going crazy with his thoughts, and now he finally sees him alive.

He was dressed casually, with a warm smile on his face, much thinner than before leaving, but in good spirits, smiling and waving at us at the sight of us.

"You're still willing to come back!" Lu Zhenting walked over and punched him gently, "I thought you were going to settle in a foreign country and never come back." ”

Jin Yebai's words were light, "How can I do that, I'm just going out for a walk." He said and turned his gaze to me and greeted me, "Meng Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

Looking at him who wanted me to stay awake day and night, and couldn't be familiar with him anymore, I took a deep breath and suppressed the beating heartbeat, and then replied: "It's okay, what about you?"

"It's not bad, I used to order every time I went out to eat, and this time it's time to change you. Jin Yebai handed me the menu, and then chatted with Lu Zhenting.

I don't know what to order, I feel that I don't know much about Jin Yebai, I didn't care at all when I had the opportunity to get to know him before, but now I want to know but I have long since lost the opportunity.

Carefully recalling the dishes he ordered every time we ate together, I suddenly realized that most of the dishes he ordered were what I liked, so even if I wanted to draw a gourd in the same way, I still didn't know his taste.

Seeing that I was holding the menu in a daze, he stopped the topic with Lu Zhenting and asked me softly, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to eat, so come on, I'll go to the bathroom. I pushed the menu in front of Jin Yebai, grabbed my bag and ran away.

I stayed in the bathroom for a while before I came back, and I saw something more on the table from a distance, it seemed that Jin Yebai had already ordered, and I successfully escaped again.

There is no doubt that this time he ordered a dish that suited my taste, because he was sitting next to me, and my appetite was as good as my mood.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, Lu Zhenting is also very polite tonight, only Jin Yebai himself, he eats like cat food, and he will be sent away little by little.

During the meal, Jin Yebai and Lu Zhenting kept chatting about the company, and I only occasionally interjected a sentence or two, and most of the time I ate quietly with my head down.

Lu Zhenting found an excuse to slip away, and he didn't know that he thought we were going to force him to pay, but in fact, he was there to leave me and Jin Yebai alone space, just like the time before Jin Yebai left.

As early as when I was eating, I took a closer look at Jin Yebai's hand, he was the same as Song Qingya, he didn't have a ring on his finger, so as soon as Lu Zhenting left, I asked him, "Are you really married?"

"No!" Jin Yebai smiled faintly, "Do you really want me to get married?"

"Of course I ......" my answer was about to come out, of course I didn't want him to marry another woman, but fortunately I reacted in time and changed my words, "Is this kind of thing what I hope can achieve?"

Freud said that the essence of dreams is the fulfillment of wishes, and what you dream is, your wish is what you want. Jin Yebai leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired.

"Why didn't you marry her again all of a sudden?" I want to get to the bottom of Jin Yebai's matter.

"There are some things that it is better not to know than to know. Jin Yebai avoided the topic, "I heard that something happened to your family, have you dealt with it now?"

I nodded, "It's all taken care of." ”

He smiled more and more gently, "I knew that you were able to be truly independent, and without Zhou Mingchuan, you can still live a good life, right?"

Today's Jin Yebai is very strange, always looking at him left and right, I have to ask, "Qingya and Ling Xi, is it really a cousin relationship?"

He didn't answer immediately, but called the waiter to come and order a bottle of red wine, and poured two glasses, one for each of us, still the same as last time.

I know why he didn't ask for alcohol before, not because Lu Zhenting came by car, he can't drink, if it's just the two of us drinking, then Lu Zhenting won't be good to sit aside.

And if he asks for alcohol now, it means that he didn't drive out, otherwise how could he know the law and break the law and drink before driving?

I picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, I didn't drink it, I just stared at Jin Yebai tightly, watching him purse his lips elegantly and drink, his moist lips looked beautiful and delicious.

He was silent for a long time, carefully drank a glass of wine without saying a word, always looking thoughtful and hesitant.

My patience was extremely limited, especially when it came to him, and I couldn't help it, and seeing that he didn't answer for so long, I had to urge him, "Is this question so difficult to answer?"

He looked at me without speaking, and his face was embarrassed, as if I was persecuting him.

I didn't hide it, and told him the truth: "To be honest, I don't believe that they are just cousins, even if they are, they must be cousins like Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu." ”

He licked his lips, put down his glass and poured another glass, as if he needed it to strengthen his courage, and took a sip before finally answering, "No!"

It turned out that it was really not, I secretly thought to myself, and I couldn't wait to ask, "Then what is their relationship, are they a couple?"

If you don't have cousins, you must be a couple!

If they're a couple, then there's hope for me.

My purpose is as simple as that, I want to be with Jin Yebai.

If Song Qingya is not caught in the middle, then even if I want to chase Jin Yebai backwards, I will not hesitate for half a minute!

I love him, and I want to strive for the happiness I want without being a third party, and this should no longer be a mistake, right?

"Yes!" he replied quickly this time, "since you have guessed everything, then let me tell you, they used to study abroad together, and they were already together at that time." ”

"Then why are you still with her, even saying that you want to get married, are you here to be married?" I continued, a little emotionally excited.

guessed that Song Qingya and Ling Xi were a couple, how could it be compared to Jin Yebai's own admission?

My hands clenched subconsciously, and sticky sweat came out.

"No!" Jin Yebai said as he drank his wine, "As for the reason, you will know later, now is not the time, don't ask again." ”

"You don't love Song Qingya, do you?" He said in person that he loves me and only loves me, so how can he love Song Qingya?

I will never forget the events of that night, except for the inexplicable car accident, the clearest memory is his sudden confession when we argued.

"No," he replied succinctly, and just as I was snickering, he quickly added, "but I like her." ”

Who said that like is faint love, love is deep like?

"Is she not marrying you?" I asked one after another, but the doubts in my heart were still not solved, because his answers were always ambiguous and unpredictable.

"You've got too many questions, are you drunk again?" he avoided again.

I raised my glass, showed him my red wine, and said to him very seriously, "I haven't drunk a drop of wine, and if anyone here is drunk, it must be you." ”

"Why don't you drink it?" said he to me now.

"I don't like to drink, and I'm on business tonight. I put down my wine glass, "Xiaobai, how many secrets are hidden in your heart, for the sake of my relationship of more than 20 years, can you tell me one or two?"

"Can't!" he refused without thinking about it, and then poured himself another glass of wine, "Did Zhou Mingchuan and Meng Shuwei look for you again later?"

I said angrily, "This is my business, since you don't tell me anything, then why should I tell you about yourself? ”

"It's okay not to say it. He smiled and raised his chin slightly, "It's not too early, do you want to go back first? ”

"Aren't you leaving?" "Even if he doesn't send me back, he shouldn't let me go back first, right?

"I want to stay here a little longer. He didn't mean to leave at all, which made me suspect that he was in a bad mood because he was dumped by Song Qingya.

"But I think you could send me back, and there are some things I should have made clear to you a long time ago. I stood up, snatched the wine glass from his hand, and forcibly pulled him up, "Drinking hurts your stomach, you drink less, let's go back, I have something very important to talk to you." ”

He didn't refuse, let me pull him to pay the bill, then went out and stopped the car, and both got in, and no one said anything along the way.

In the car, he stared out the window, while I looked at his side face.

He really lost a lot of weight, and I couldn't help but feel pain when I saw it, where had he been on his travels for the past few months, was it a refugee camp or a slum?

When I got to my apartment, he paid for the car, I opened the door and took him up, and as soon as I walked into the suite, I hugged him tightly from behind, put my face against his back, and closed my eyes.
