Chapter 12

Chen Kuo was busy in the kitchen after returning home, in order to prevent the fumes from permeating the living room, the door was closed tightly, and people stood inside you from time to time to hear the sound of choking coughing, Chen Yi couldn't bear it, pushed the door open and said, "Dad, you open the door, don't be stuffy in it and smoke this fume, it's not good for your health." ”

"You go out, you go out. Chen Kuo waved at her and motioned for her not to stand inside.

Chen Yibian stood sideways at the door, so that Chen Kuo couldn't close the door, and he saw that he couldn't get rid of her, so he had to continue to turn around and cook.

Chen Kuo's cooking skills are good, but he usually doesn't cook, and only shows his hand when he needs to entertain relatives and friends, because he likes to make "hard dishes", which are big fish and meat, and they need to be pickled and seasoned, which is more time-consuming.

"Dad, shall I help?" Chen Yi rolled up his sleeves and walked over, taking off a pair of sleeve straps.

He asked, "Do you know how to cook?"

She nodded and said, "I learned it when I first arrived in Beijing, and at that time there was no app that could order takeout, so I had to cook it myself if I wanted to eat." ”

Chen Kuo said while busy: "You have suffered a lot. ”

It was too rare for him to care so much, Chen Yi first paused for a moment before replying, "It's not bitter, I was young at that time, and I didn't know what it meant to endure hardship." After that, she turned around and didn't want her father to see her red eyes, she was not sad for herself, but further felt that he was old, he knew that he had to say his concern, and he would only say that "hardship is the only way to grow up" in the face of every setback of Chen Yi in the past.

Chen Kuo pointed to a bag of gluten flour on the ground and asked, "Will you make noodles?"

"Good. Chen Yi took off the large stainless steel basin on the shelf and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Kuo said while washing vegetables: "Baozi, don't you like to eat plum cabbage buns? This time, you can stay for a few more days? Wrap more, and dumplings, I bought black pork." ”

Dad actually said so many things to himself, Chen Yi was a little flattered, she quickly nodded, "You can live for as many days as you want, I have already resigned." ”

Chen Kuo said to himself, "Isn't you a teacher, in order to go to the United States with Bai Qi?"

"Dad, I'm doing well right now. Chen Yi reassured him.

Chen Kuo no longer raised any objections after hearing this, and after washing the vegetables, he began to cut the vegetables, muttering in his mouth, "Then you can coax your mother well, her heart can't stand it." ”

Zhou Biyun told Chen Yi that she had found high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high blood sugar, which made Zhou Biyun very shocked, she saw that her mother was slender and full of spirit, not like a group of people who would suffer from this kind of disease, but she also quickly persuaded her with two words, "Old." She said.

In addition to the coexistence of these three highs, the problem that Zhou Biyun cares about the most is the heart, she has often woken up in pain at night recently, and went to the hospital to check the electrocardiogram and did not see any major problems, the doctor said that it was a premature beat, which is a more common arrhythmia in the elderly, but Zhou Biyun could not accept such a simple explanation, because she was really in pain and couldn't sleep at night, and now she has a handy heart-saving pill next to her pillow and in her bag, and she is especially afraid that one day after a sudden convulsion, the person will be gone.

Chen Yi asked: "When will the more specific physical examination report come out? Is it because the hospital facilities in our city are not good? Do you want to go back to Beijing with me to check?"

"I think she's sick with her heart. Chen Kuo said, "It used to be fine, but that time after she hung up your phone, she began to say that her heart hurts, I think she is angry, and you have to coax her well." ”

At the dinner table, Zhou Biyun had no appetite, she grabbed the chopsticks for a long time and didn't fall, she said with a bitter face, "The doctor told me not to eat indiscriminately, rice is sugary, I should eat less, and I can't eat anything that is too salty." ”

"There's no sugar, there's no salt. Chen Kuo picked up a chopsticks of chicken soup and boiled baby cabbage, put it in her bowl and said, "Eat this, the vegetables are grown in the field, and they are taken out to set up a stall when they can't finish eating, organic, and unmedicated." ”

Seeing Zhou Biyun take a bite with an aggrieved look, Chen Yi only felt warm, because her parents love each other, and there are too many couples in this world who just make do with each other to get by, so they are even more precious, which is also the reason why Chen Yi can boldly leave home, she knows that her squeamish mother has her father to take care of.

didn't eat for a while, Zhou Biyun suddenly put down the chopsticks, lowered his head and shed tears, which startled Chen Yi, Chen Kuo grabbed the tissue box next to him and handed it over.

Chen Yi asked nervously, "Mom, where are you uncomfortable?"

"I'm not comfortable anywhere, can I be comfortable?" Zhou Biyun stood up, walked to the sofa, and said angrily, "I just want to see you get married and have children when I am still alive, so I can leave with confidence." ”

Chen Yi put down his chopsticks and wanted to comfort her, but was pulled down by Chen Kuo, and he said, "You eat first." ”

This table of dishes, it is not easy for Dad to make, and Chen Yi doesn't want to waste it, so she picked up the bowl again, and turned back to talk to Mom while chewing it hurriedly.

She teased her, "Then if I don't get married or have children, you can't rest assured of me, and you can live forever." ”

"Don't kid me, I'm really sad right now. Zhou Biyun cried while wiping her tears, "How did you say I gave birth to such a broken child like you who broke my heart." ”

"Yes, yes, it's better to give birth to me than to have a piece of char siu. Chen Yi said, "Don't cry, you cry your body badly, you may really not see me getting married." ”

Zhou Biyun said: "Why is it so easy for others to get married, and it will be over, what about you is more difficult than ascending to the sky, you look at your cousin, she is not as good-looking as you, and people are not as smart as you-"

Chen Kuo couldn't listen anymore, he turned his face and interrupted her, "You can't say that, Zhao Li is not picky or picky, if Chen Yi lets it go, he will marry if he is a living person, and the queue at the door of our house will have to line up at the south gate tomorrow." ”

Chen Yi glanced at her father gratefully, while Zhou Biyun deliberately cried and sobbed and said, "You father and daughter are bullying me." ”

Finally finished eating, Chen Yi hurriedly sat down next to Zhou Biyun and hugged her.

Chen Kuo asked Zhou Biyun three times if he still hadn't eaten, and when he saw that she didn't care about him, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the kitchen, Chen Yi saw that there were blood stains on his pants in a rather embarrassing position, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but Zhou Biyun gently tugged the corner of his clothes, and she whispered in her ear and said, "Your father has hemorrhoids." ”

Chen Yi was stunned, closed her mouth, and felt even more uncomfortable, her parents were old and declining from the inside out.

At night, Chen Kuo went to sleep in the second bedroom alone, Chen Yi accompanied Zhou Biyun to sleep in the master bedroom, and they argued a few words about whether to get married or not, Zhou Biyun was so angry that she turned around and didn't want to speak anymore, but after being silent for a while, she asked faintly, "Then you...... When are you going to the United States?"

Her tone was too pitiful, so Chen Yi also said as gently as possible, "It's not decided yet, don't be in a hurry to leave." ”

"Tickets to the United States...... 10,000 sheets, right?" Zhou Biyun asked, his body clumped together, like a small shrimp left on the beach.

Chen Yi laughed, "Don't worry, Bai Qi paid for the ticket." After that, she reached out and gently patted Zhou Biyun's back, coaxing her like when she was a child and coaxing herself to sleep, "Mom, if you and Dad don't want to settle in the United States, just pick the best time to come on vacation every year, I will enroll you in an English class for the elderly, which are full of Chinese grandfathers and old ladies, they often organize group activities, climbing, horseback riding, and diving or something, you won't be lonely, you will definitely have a lot of fun......"

When Zhou Biyun finally fell asleep, she turned around and touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, opened WeChat and sent a message to Bai Qi, "Husband, I'm asleep." ”

After a while, the screen popped up: "Sleep, wife, I love you." ”

She smiled and wanted to reply "I love you too." But it said, "I love you more." ”

Sleeping until the middle of the night, Chen Yi was woken up by Zhou Biyun's sudden scream, she sat up and found that she was dreaming, covering her chest in pain, trembling, covered in sweat, and soaking the pillow, Chen Yi anxiously called her father from outside the door, and at the same time gently patted Zhou Biyun's back, trying to wake her up from the nightmare.

After Zhou Biyun woke up, she shouted that her heart hurt, and she begged, "Call an ambulance, call an ambulance quickly." ”

Without waiting for Chen Yi to take out his mobile phone, Chen Kuo had already rushed over and made a skilled call, and by the way, he helped Zhou Biyun get dressed.

"It's nothing, don't be nervous, we're all called the fourth ambulance. Chen Kuo waved his hand to Chen Yi, who was pale, "It is estimated that we will not come back until the morning, don't follow, sleep in the house, it's useless for you to follow, and you can't sit in the ambulance." ”

Chen Yi didn't seem to hear it, and hurriedly put on her coat over her pajamas, Chen Kuo stopped her movement again and said, "If your mother is going to be hospitalized, I can also ask you to bring a change of clothes." ”

Finally, two medical staff in white coats came in familiarly, "Is it your house again?" ”

Zhou Biyun consciously sat in a wheelchair pushed by a male nurse, and finally measured that her blood pressure was a little high, and the group pushed her out of the house in a wheelchair.

Before closing the door, Chen Kuo did not forget to look back and explain, "If you are hungry, you can eat the dumplings in the refrigerator." ”

Chen Yi sat in the empty living room and didn't come to her senses, and finally she called Bai Qi with a blank face, "Bai Qi, can't you really come over to accompany me?" she paused and added in a pleading tone, "I really need you." ”

On the other side was the sound of light breathing, Chen Yi listened, only felt that the silence was as long as the four seasons rotated, and finally he said, "Okay." ”
