Everything happened too fast, less than a month, Chen Yi didn't have time to say goodbye, although she was ready to say goodbye every day, but because she could still see and touch her father's hand, she always felt that "it's not really the time to say goodbye", so every time she said goodbye, she was dishonest, she thought he would recover, would sit up, stand up, take off his hospital gown, put on his sweater and slacks, and everyone took the car back to their home in Xiaguang City.

After that, Dad may often need to take medicine, shouting here and there at every turn, but he will still sit on the sofa at home, stretch his legs and put his feet on the coffee table, and continue to argue with his mother, when relatives and friends come to visit, the two of them will recount this experience of hospitalization over and over again, and finally conclude with emotion, "It's really a death escape!"

It stands to reason that the plot should develop like this, the family works together to face the disease, tide over the difficulties together, return to calm after the stormy seas, know more about the preciousness of life, and the family is more intimate, Chen Yi has seen many similar scripts written like this, so she feels that at this moment, she should hold her father's arm, instead of holding a cold ash jar.

After Chen Kuo's death, Zhou Biyun, who was crying non-stop, seemed to have finally woken up from a ghost bed-like dream, accepting this fact, she finally behaved like an adult, recalling the funeral process after her mother's death, she calmly discussed with Chen Yi, and it was too much of a toss to transport Chen Kuo's body back to Xiaguang City for a funeral, and no one was gone, and he would no longer be physically subjected to this crime, so it was better to hold a small farewell ceremony in the provincial capital funeral home and notify the people closest to him.

Chen Yi hadn't come back to her senses yet, she could only nod, as for the execution, it was Bai Qi who was helping Zhou Biyun busy, and now he also made an appointment for a spacious and silent car to send their mother and daughter home.

Bai Qi sat in the passenger seat, confirming Chen Yi's situation from the rearview mirror from time to time, she turned her face sideways the whole time, staring at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, this is a long farewell road for a daughter to her father, he doesn't have any proper words to say, so he can only sigh softly, making the silence in the car more dignified.

"Yiyi, how can you say you are so brave?" Zhou Biyun suddenly spoke, her palm on the back of Chen Yi's hand, patting gently, just like the rhythm of her speech, as if the waves were caressing the beach, "The corridor to the morgue is so dark, there is not a single lamp, I am a little scared, how can you push Dad all the way in?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm not afraid of the dead, I understand death, I know that death is unavoidable, but I'm afraid that the people who love me are one step ahead of me. Chen Yi looked at her mother and said, "I can't bear my father, that's the last part of the road I can accompany my father." ”

Zhou Biyun's mouth pursed, and she was about to cry again, but she just held back her tears, squeezed out a smile, hugged Chen Yi and said, "Mom will work hard to live a long life." ”

After returning to the long-lost home, after opening the door, with a burst of breath of being unsealed, Chen Yi felt that the house had become different, Zhou Biyun preemptively spoke, "Yo, why does this room feel big?" After she finished speaking, she took two steps in, and said to herself, "I don't usually think your father is big, but this person is gone, and he occupies a lot of area." ”

Bai Qizheng pulled in two huge suitcases, which contained some miscellaneous daily necessities and a change of clothes when he was hospitalized, which Zhou Biyun was reluctant to throw away, he has also been busy losing weight recently, and he has to take care of the mother and daughter while handling work remotely, he said, "Don't cook, do you?"

"Ahh

"Wow-" Bai Qi didn't dare to imagine the picture, and hurriedly covered his nose and shouted, "Don't open it, don't open it!"

But Chen Yi was quick and had already opened it, fortunately the smell was not pungent, she frowned and looked at it, and muttered, "Mom, bring a garbage bag here, and we'll take it down and throw it away later." As she spoke, she opened the freezer again, and inside was a box of raw dumplings carefully packed in plastic boxes by Chen Kuo, she flipped through them, turned her head and asked, "Dad, can you still have these dumplings?"

No one in the room responded, and seeing Zhou Biyun and Bai Qi looking at her with sad faces, Chen Yicai reacted and let out an embarrassing laugh for herself.

Bai Qi stepped forward and hugged her, patting her back with his hand, trying to slap out all the pain in her body.

Chen Yi smiled hard and said, "I'll get used to it." ”

Because it is a difficult time, Chen Yi's mood is unstable, and he can't do without people around him, so Bai Qi didn't live in the hotel anymore, he ate and lived with their mother and daughter, like replacing the missing members of the family, he invited a cleaner to take care of the housework, took Chen Yi and Zhou Biyun out for a walk, shopping, watching movies, and stayed outdoors until late before returning home, he patiently accompanied them, hoping to help them get out of the emotional cloud as soon as possible.

It lasted like this for a week, Bai Qi began to be unable to sit still, there was a lot of work backlog in Beijing, and he wanted to jump on the plane and go back to deal with it all the time, so the frequency of distraction became more and more, and the impatience on his face was undoubtedly revealed, at first, Chen Yi, who was immersed in grief, was numb to the reaction of the outside world and did not notice it, but recently she suddenly realized that she had dragged Bai Qi down, and he had done enough, good enough, far beyond the scope of what she could propose.

At night, if everyone doesn't go out, they will sit on the sofa and watch TV, Chen Yi hugs Bai Qi, and Zhou Biyun pillows Chen Yi, forming such a domino look, they are already like a real family connected by blood, and Bai Qi is the pillar, Chen Yi realizes that she and her mother are now very dependent on him, and even some muscles and bones are difficult to give up.

After Chen Yi coaxed Zhou Biyun to sleep, he came to the second bedroom and saw that Bai Qi was not sleeping, he was lying on the bed and using the computer, he turned around and joked to her, "You want to spoil me tonight?" You slept with Bai Tang before, and now you sleep with your mother, we are really a couple." ”

"You go back to Beijing first. Chen Yi sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand and stroked his cheek, her eyes finally regained some vitality, she looked at him with watery eyes and said, "These days, I have worked hard for you, with you, I can survive, you are really too important to me, Bai Qi, thank you." ”

Bai Qi left without saying hello, Zhou Biyun woke up and saw Chen Yi making breakfast, she also walked to the second bedroom as a matter of course to ask Bai Qi to get up, Chen Yi persuaded her, "Mom, Bai Qi has returned to Beijing, I am afraid that you will stop others, so I told him not to say hello." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Biyun let out a scream of loss, then trotted over to her daughter and stomped her feet anxiously, "How can you do this? ”

"How many meals have you eaten with us? Chen Yi put up a bowl of porridge, sprinkled fried soybeans and fried beef cubes, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and said while handing it to Zhou Biyun, "Do you know how much money people can earn by eating a meal? He is really interesting enough, he has been with us for so long, and he is throwing money every minute." ”

Zhou Biyun let out a low "oh", and then obediently walked to the table with the bowl in his hand.

Chen Yi held the plate in one hand, and fried the prepared round pancakes from the pot one by one quickly from the pot to crispy and fragrant, and then stacked them in the plate one by one, and walked to the living room with a stack of hot and smoking cakes, she saw Zhou Biyun sitting alone at the table, bowing her head to blow the porridge in her hand, at this moment, she suddenly thought that from now on, her mother lived alone in this house, and suddenly tears were about to gush out, she quickly raised her head, and rolled her eyes from side to side, so that she finally controlled her tears.

When Chen Yi also sat down, Zhou Biyun asked cautiously, "Then when will you go back to Beijing?"

It's strange that she behaved abnormally, compared to the pampered and arrogant appearance before, now like a good child who is no longer favored, she no longer makes her temperament, maybe because Chen Kuo is gone, she is worried that she will make her temperament, no one will follow, this caution makes Chen Yi feel more and more uncomfortable.

Chen Yi picked up a tea egg, peeled it and put it in front of Zhou Biyun's eyes, and said soothingly, "I'm not in a hurry, I don't have a job anyway." ”

"But you and Bai Qi are not planning to go to Italy, don't just care about accompanying me, you should also spend more time caring for him. Zhou Biyun said, "Bai Qi is really a good man, you have to cherish it, in the future, you ...... If you can, come back and see me often. She took a sip of porridge and tried to hide her prayers.

Chen Yi's heart was in pain, and she had to pretend to smile lightly on the surface and said, "Mom, either you go back to Beijing with me?"

"Then where can I go, you don't have a house, I'm an old man, and I'm crowded in Bai Qi's house with you, it's an eyesore. Zhou Biyun's words were resolute, there was no room for negotiation, she said hurriedly, "You and him are not husband and wife, you will take your mother to eat together, and you want to spread it, what am I talking to you like? ”

Seeing Chen Yi's embarrassed face, she hurriedly comforted her, "Yiyi, I live here alone, such a spacious house, I am comfortable and comfortable, don't worry, if you are really worried that I am suffering at home alone, you might as well earn more money, find a live-in nanny for your mother, let me also enjoy the days of being served every day, and tell people, I have such a filial daughter, what's wrong if I don't get married? ”

Chen Yi frowned, and after thinking for a while, she nodded but said to herself, "I still want to marry Bai Qi." ”
