163 48 hours purgatory
When Sister-in-law Yan came out of the bathroom, she had already cleaned up her emotions, wiped away her tears, and helped clean up the dishes without saying a word.
Li Tangni, who originally got along with her like a family, didn't dare or want to make eye contact with her anymore, and didn't ask much, but pretended to concentrate on washing the dishes, and only peeked at her busy figure from time to time - she didn't feel like a mother at all, and even a little disgusted with her.
It is said that no book is written without coincidence, but this is also too coincidental.
She thought again, is it too early to assume that they are my biological parents now?
At least I'll have to check with my grandfather. If Grandpa said yes, it really is. As for how to face them, we will talk about it then.
Because of absent-mindedness, one of them didn't hold it steady, and one bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
Li Tangni rarely washes dishes, but it seems that every time she washes, she has to drop something before stopping.
Looking at the debris on the ground, her heart was uneasy, as if she had an ominous premonition.
Sister-in-law Yan insisted on pushing her out of the kitchen and cleaning up with a broom and dustpan herself.
It's okay, I'll go to my grandfather. Li Tangni thought like this, and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
At this time, Qu Nanxiu wanted to accompany her, but he had to send Uncle Yan and sister-in-law back first.
Li Tangni walked out of the corridor alone, and her eyelids began to jump.
The left eye beats blessings, and the right eye jumps disaster...... Oops, it's the right eye that's jumping. Hey, don't believe in those superstitions......
She was thinking wildly, the phone rang, it was her father, that is, her adoptive father, her tone was quite anxious, and she was given a thunderbolt on a sunny day: "Nini, hurry, you will go to the ICU of 302 Hospital to see grandpa immediately!"
The ICU is the intensive care unit of the hospital, which is full of patients in very urgent situations, and it is also one of the places where life and death are witnessed the most.
Li Tangni's heart fell like an ice cellar: "What's wrong with grandpa?"
"Suddenly I had a stroke! Tell me when we meet, you rush over now!"
Putting down the phone, Li Tangni's mind was blank, and it took a long time to remember to take a taxi.
The suspected biological parents who suddenly appeared in life are not as important as this grandfather who is not a relative but is more like a relative.
The adoptive parents went on business trips every once in a while, and when they grew up so big, they spent most of their time with their grandfather. He played games with her, cooked food for her, told her stories of war, taught her the principles of life, carried her on his shoulders to visit the temple fair when he was a child, and often kissed her with a scruffy beard, and pierced her to the ......
I remember once when I was a child, I scored 59 points in the math test, and I was afraid that my parents would scold me, so Li Tangni hid in the room and cried as soon as she got home.
Grandpa knocked on the door, picked up the paper and looked at it, and said, "Grandpa can't do such a difficult question, let a primary school student do it, what can you do!" Nini, you can get more than grandpa, I have to reward you." ”
As he spoke, he went downstairs and bought her an ice cream to eat.
Li Tangni, who burst into tears and laughed, finished eating the ice cream, and obediently reviewed and redid those questions according to his grandfather's request, and this time they were all right.
There was also a particularly impressive time, after the twin sister drowned, six-year-old Li Tangni cried intermittently for two days, and the grain of rice was not eaten.
Finally, the grandfather hugged her and said: "Each of us has our own guardian angels, and the angels will incarnate into the people around us, enter our lives, and maybe become our relatives, friends, or people we meet by chance on the road." After the angels have brought us a happy time, they will quietly leave and watch us silently from heaven. When we look up at the sky, the angels will see our smiles. ”
After listening to this passage, Li Tangni really felt much better, and since then, he has developed the habit of often looking up at the sky.
At that time, the sky in Beijing was still turquoise, with occasional white and flawless clouds. As soon as Li Tangni raised his head, he could watch it all day, but his mood was quiet and serene.
Many years later, she learned that her grandfather, an old revolutionary and atheist, had made up an inconsequential fairy tale "out of conscience" in order to comfort herself, just to make it easier for herself to accept.
If she didn't have such a good grandfather, she didn't know how to go on in the future. Besides, grandpa usually talks and laughs so healthily, how can it be so sudden?
Along the way, the taxi driver chatted with her, but she didn't respond. The driver observed it in the rearview mirror for a long time, thinking that the girl was out of love, and kindly persuaded her: "Girl, the earth will turn the same way without anyone, don't you think about it!"
Li Tangni said leisurely: "No, if you leave him, you won't turn." ”
There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the ICU.
The medical staff were busy non-stop, while Li Kaishan was lying on the emergency bed with his eyes closed, with a bunch of tubes inserted in his nose and body, oxygen tanks, electrocardiogram instruments, and various complicated lines and machines next to him.
Li Kaishan's son Li Yunhe has already arrived, and his daughter-in-law was originally on a business trip abroad and had just booked a return ticket.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Li Tangni asked as soon as they met.
Xiao Zhang, a soldier who accompanied the caretaker next to him, hurriedly took the initiative to answer: "The chief came together this morning and said that he was a little uncomfortable, and I said to send him to the hospital, but he refused, saying that it would be good to rest and rest." As a result, I cooked at noon, and he didn't eat a few bites. I was washing the dishes when I heard him scream, and when I arrived, the chief was already lying on the ground...... Alas, I regret that I would have insisted on taking him to the hospital!"
Everyone's heart is heavy.
Li Tangni asked, "Then how is the situation now?"
Li Yunhe said: "The doctor just said that the stroke has a rapid onset and a high fatality rate, although he is trying his best to rescue him, but the danger period has not passed yet, and it depends on the next 48 hours." But even if it can be saved, it is likely to have a series of sequelae, such as hemiplegia, aphasia, etc., after all, he is eighty years old. ”
Li Tangni's heart is like a knife.
Li Yunhe said: "I regret it very much now, I am usually too busy and always on business trips, and I rarely have time to accompany your grandfather, and I always feel that buying more things for him is filial piety.
Li Tangni cried.
Because just last night, Grandpa called her and told her to come over for dinner today. As a result, she said that she couldn't go because of something, but in fact, she was to accompany Uncle Yan and sister-in-law to dinner......
The next 48 hours were hell-like endure.
Li Kaishan's daughter-in-law also came back, and the family of three plus the two little soldiers beside the chief took turns to take care of them, but everyone had remorse in their hearts and were thinking, if time could be turned back, I would definitely ......
It's a pity that the reality is cruel.
The doctor said that although the old man temporarily saved his life, he became a vegetative state due to serious blockage of blood vessels, and his future recovery was not optimistic. However, at the level of the old chief, you can enjoy the most luxurious single room in the hospital, as well as special care, and all medical care expenses are paid by the state.
However, for this family that is not short of money, this is not good news. An originally happy family was shrouded in gloom.
Qu Nanxiu was also very sad when he heard the news. Although he didn't meet Grandpa Li much, he was deeply impressed by the old man's heartiness, open-mindedness, and resoluteness, as well as his heartfelt concern for the younger generation.
Ever since Grandpa Li put his granddaughter's hand in his hand and said, "I'll give you Nini", Qu Nanxiu has treated him as his grandfather.
In the hospital, he met Li Yunhe, Li Tangni's adoptive father, again. This is the second time they met, and last time Xiaoqu mistakenly regarded him as someone who wanted to take advantage of Li Tangni, and pulled him aside with one palm.
But this time in such a situation, Li Yunhe didn't say much.
After staying in the hospital all day, and returning to his residence in the evening, Qu Nanxiu took out his books and continued to review.
Looking at the book under the lamp, his head gradually lowered, and after a while, he fell asleep on the table.
I vaguely heard the mobile phone ringing, picked it up and looked at it, Professor Luo.
"Xiaoqu, the second-generation regret medicine has come out! This time it's a pill that can be eaten! And this time, the effect is great!"
Qu Nanxiu didn't want to wait for a moment, and hurried to the secret laboratory.
Luo Renyan smiled and held a plate of small round pills, not much bigger than red beans, each one is a different color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, it can simply spell out a rainbow, compared to the first generation of regret medicine - the black "button", at least it is much more eye-catching.
"The different colors represent the degree of regret that happened, and simply put, the darker the color, the longer you can control what happened before. ”
Strangely, this time, what cranial nerves, what hippocampus, Professor Luo didn't mention. And not a single instrument, not a single wire.
"Say, what's there to regret?"
Qu Nanxiu immediately said: "I regret that I didn't usually go to see Li Tangni's grandfather, he is now in a vegetative state after a stroke and is lying in the hospital." ”
Luo Renyan listened, pointed to a goose-yellow pill and said, "Try this." ”
Qu Nanxiu pinched it in disbelief, neither soft nor hard. I took it under my nose and smelled it, and it seemed to have a bit of the aroma of spring flowers.
Under Luo Renyan's encouraging gaze, he trustingly put the goose yellow pill into his mouth, and just as he was about to chew it, it melted in his mouth, leaving a mouthful full of sweet fragrance and quite good taste.
When he looked up, he felt that Professor Luo's face was becoming more and more unclear, Qu Nanxiu thought that he had reacted to this medicine, and just as he was about to tell the professor, he found that the person standing in front of him had become Li Tangni!
He was shocked. Could it be that Li Tangni followed him to find the secret laboratory?
But if you look around carefully, where is the laboratory, it is clearly a sunny suburb!
Li Tangni took his hand with a smile and said, "It's rare that the weather in Beijing is so good, let's go on an outing, I'll call my grandfather and tell him to go to dinner another day." ”
Qu Nanxiu was taken aback. This sounds very familiar, and this situation and this scene are clearly ...... Not so long ago!
Could it be that the effect of the second-generation regret medicine is to make people go back to before the incident?!
No, even if Professor Luo's ox is broken, it is impossible to travel back in time!
Whatever, since you have done it all over again, you must not have any regrets, so Xiaoqu said to Li Tangni: "If we are free today, let's go see your grandfather, or take him out for a walk!"
Li Tangni's expression was a little hesitant, in fact, she was attached to the world of two.
