The weekend is the day when Shu Qin goes to the recovery home.

The rehabilitation home is located in L Town, on the outskirts of H City, which is far away from the city, and it takes two or three hours to drive. Today, Shen Wei's company can't send her over because of something temporary, he knows that because of He Yu's matter, Shu Qin is never willing to touch the car too much, and naturally he won't drive by himself. But Shuqin also dislikes to contact others even more.

"Let Frost come with me, it's the weekend and she's free. ”

Shen Wei didn't like Lu Shuangna, among so many colleagues, he didn't understand why Shu Qin liked her, and he didn't know why the two of them could suddenly be so close. Lu Shuangna's appearance made him feel that Shu Qin began to hide something from him, he didn't like this feeling, although she had never let go of He Yu in the past few years, but she Shu Qin was the only one by her side.

And Lu Shuangna's appearance broke their small two-person world, and she broke in like a third party, which made Shen Wei feel an inexplicable sense of crisis. Even the small intimate interaction between them was so dazzling in his eyes, and such a friendship between the two of them made him crazy with jealousy.

But in front of Shu Qin, he will not refuse.

"Okay. He answered.

"Hmm. ”

"Come back early that night, I'll come over and have dinner with you." Shen Wei asked again.

The other party seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, Shu Qin spoke: "It's okay, your company has a lot of things to do today, you should be very busy, and you should be tired when you come back at night, so you don't need to come over." This may be a good opportunity for Shen Wei to slowly get rid of the habit of taking care of himself as a responsibility. "It's good that Frost and I ate at the recovery home and then come back. ”

Shu Qin's tone on the other end of the phone was calm.

"Good. He whispered.

"Well, then I'll hang up. ”

"Stay safe, Z-Treasure. Shen Wei's gentle instructions came from the other end of the phone.

"Got it. Good bye. ”

"Well, goodbye. ”

"Dudu ......" Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Shen Wei felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, this goodbye, as if he was saying goodbye to himself forever. He couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly and put down the phone.

Recovery Home

As soon as Shu Qin and Lu Shuangna got out of the car, the latter couldn't wait to run into the compound of the rehabilitation home.

"It's not that I said, this rehab home is really the most unpretentious I've ever seen, not one of them. "This recovery home really doesn't look like a treatment center, it's like a compound for ordinary people. There is a large banyan tree in the yard, as well as a large long wooden table and many wooden stools. There are two large white swings made of iron under the big banyan tree, while there is also a swing on the trunk on the other side.

But the difference is that this swing is more like someone made it by hand, using thick hemp rope to make the swing rope, and the thick, wide and wide planks have a little asymmetrical skew.

"Qin cute, why are there so many small trees in this yard?" Lu Shuangna noticed that there were small trees of different heights planted around the courtyard wall, and there seemed to be small wooden signs hanging on the small trees.

"This is planted by every child who comes here, and on the first day they can plant it themselves, they will plant it themselves, and the dean and other children who can't do it themselves will help him plant a tree of his own. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. The first tree here was planted for me by my mother, who was the first director of the rehabilitation home. As he spoke, Shu Qin pointed to the tallest tree not far away with an imperceptible smile. "That tree is mine. ”

Lusanna looked over. "Eh, what about the one next to it? Whose is it? It's about the same height as yours. She asked curiously.

"Yes......" Shu Qin fell into deep thought, it stands to reason that He Yu's tree should be a little shorter than his own, why didn't he find out, now this tree looks almost as tall as his own tree, it seems that Dean Zhang is taking care of it very carefully.

Seeing Shu Qin staring at the tree in a daze, Lu Shuangna guessed that she might not want to say it. The sensible no longer asked, and as he looked around, a thought suddenly flashed to him, wanting to sit on the handmade swing. She walked happily to the swing under the banyan tree, and before she could sit on her buttocks, suddenly a stammering voice stopped her loudly: "You, you can't sit, that, that swing, it was given by Brother He Yu and made by Sister Qin." ”

"Little love. Xiao Ai's voice pulled Shu Qin back from her contemplation, the little girl she called Xiao Ai is also one of the underage autistic patients here, the difference is that she suffers from expressive or receptive language disorder, which is relatively normal among children. But before, she didn't want to communicate with others, she only liked to write and draw, and she would stammer when she talked to strangers.

In order to allow her to have more contact with outsiders and become more willing to communicate with others, Xiaoai's mother sent her to the rehabilitation home, where she was finally able to communicate with people normally after several years and was no longer afraid, but there was still a little stuttering when communicating with strangers.

"Hello, your name is Xiao Ai, right?" Lu Shuangna walked over and wanted to meet Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai saw her coming over, but she hid behind Shu Qin with an arrow step, only showing her big eyes and looking at her timidly. "Sister Qin, who is she? What about Brother Shen Wei, why didn't he come?"

"Brother Shen Wei can't accompany Sister Qin over today because of something temporary, I will come over next time, this sister is Lu Shuangna, you can call her Sister Shuangna in the future. As she spoke, Shu Qin patted Xiao Ai's little hand around her.

Looking at the cute little love in front of her, Lu Shuangna wanted to pinch her little face, but she had to do her homework quietly before coming to the recovery home, knowing that autistic children don't like others to touch them casually, so she can only control her overflowing old aunt-like "beastly desire".

"Yes, what your sister Qin said is right, today, I will be her flower messenger, and your brother Shen Wei will not come. ”

"You, how, how can you be Qin, Sister Qin's flower messenger, look, look so unreliable. ”

Forget it, hold back, Lu Shuangna kept exhaling and inhaling to stabilize her mood.

"Alright, let's go inside. Seeing that they were about to fight, Shu Qin laughed and proposed to go into the house.

"Good. Xiao Ai took her and left, and didn't care about Lu Shuangna, who was so angry behind them.

"Wait......" Lousanna exclaimed angrily.

Shu Qin noticed that Xiao Ai, who was holding her hand, secretly covered her mouth and smiled, it seems that she likes Lu Shuangna, the big sister.

After eating at noon, it is time for the children to take a lunch break.

Usually at this time, Shu Qin would go to Dean Zhang to chat.

"Aunt Zhang. ”

"Come in, Z Bao. ”

"Hmm. She walked in, and the office was still exactly the same as it had been when her mother was there. "You're pretty busy at work, so you don't have to come here every week. ”

"It's okay, it should be. "She just wanted to come and see things from the past, even if she couldn't remember what they used to be.

"Alas, if Xiaohui was still here, how relieved it would be to see you now. Dean Zhang and Shu Qin's mother, Lin Hui is a close friend, and she has taken care of her a lot since she was a child, and she also created this rehabilitation home with her mother, and after her mother left, she took over this rehabilitation home and continued her mother's career.

"I'm ...... now It's going well, and she doesn't have to worry about me anymore. ”

"Z Bao, can't you let go of He Yu?" Aunt Zhang looked at the ring she never took off on her hand. "You are already so old, there are some things that your aunt can't persuade you, you still have to let go of what you should let go, and cherish the people in front of you. ”

"Hmm. Shu Qin replied in a low voice.

Dean Zhang sighed heavily, suddenly remembered something, and took out many bank remittance records from the cabinet.

"Z Bao, you and Shen Wei, have any of you two changed bank accounts?"

"Nope. ”

"It's strange that people who usually donate to our rehabilitation home don't donate such a large amount of money so regularly, and they don't leave their names. ”

"Have you donated many times in a row?"

"Well, it's been half a year. ”

"It's really strange, I'll contact Shen Wei and ask him to find out when I go back. ”

"Qin cute, come and help me, they don't know what's going on. ”

At this time, Lu Shuangna, who was downstairs helping her aunt take care of the children, shouted. "Your friend is really cheerful, okay, Z Bao, you should also make more friends, since your autism was cured, I haven't seen you make any friends. ”

"Well, that Aunt Zhang, I'm going down. ”

"Good. ”

Seeing Shu Qin's back disappear from the door, Dean Zhang looked at the photo with Lin Hui on the table with a smile, and said with relief: "The children have grown up. ”

In the evening, on the way back.

Looking at Shu Qin, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Lu Shuangna suddenly understood why she didn't like to communicate with people too much. "Today's experience of spending a day in a recovery home has made me realize that autism is not only painful for children, but also for parents. ”

Although the children I saw in the rehabilitation home today were all quiet, some looked at their palms, some silently looked at a certain place in a daze, and some were scribbling...... But looking at the parents who were quietly squatting aside, looking at their children stupidly, longing for him to look back at her, she felt inexplicably sad.

Especially at noon today, a child suddenly went crazy, screamed loudly, and beat himself. Not only that, but he would also hit everyone who approached him hard, and finally she saw the mother of the child who had been trying to get close to him whose face was scratched by her own child and was covered with scars, drenched in blood, but still holding her child and gently comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, mom is here, mom is here." ”

Although the surrounding area was full of frightened cries of children, what kept echoing in Lu Shuangna's ears at that time and all day long was the words of the child's mother: "It's okay, Mom is here." ”

She suddenly missed her mother a little bit too.

"Qin cute, you ...... Were you autistic before?" asked Lusanna, who finally mustered up the courage.

"Well, I am, and my mom was like every parent at the recovery home today, and never gave up on me. ”

Looking at Shu Qin's face flickering and dimming under the light of the street lights that kept disappearing outside the car, she suddenly felt very distressed.

"Qin is cute. ”

"Huh?"

"I miss my mom. ”

“…… Me too. ”
