Chapter Seventy-Two: The Crossroads
Dad woke up, and Mom was the happiest. I looked at the way the two elders got along, and thought to myself, it's good to have someone to accompany you for the rest of your life. On this day, I came to the hospital to see my father as usual, but found that my mother was not there. I put down the fruit I bought and asked, "Where's Mom and Dad?"
My dad said in a disgusted tone, "How can I keep her by my side all the time." ”
I saw my father's arrogant eyes and thought, "Don't you have a mouth!" I took out an apple, peeled it, and handed it to my father.
My dad didn't be polite to me, picked up the apple and asked for a bite, saying, "I deliberately broke up your mother." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and said sarcastically, "Daddy still has something to say that Mommy can't hear." ”
Seeing that I was neither big nor small, my father glared at me, "The air here is too stuffy, push me out to bask in the sun and breathe the fresh air outside." ”
Of course I didn't dare to disobey my father's request. I put my dad in a wheelchair and pushed him out of the room and around the hospital. While soaking up the sun and breathing in the fresh air, my dad said to me, "I have something to tell you." ”
I noticed that my father's tone was wrong, and I didn't care, so I smiled and said, "Teacher Hu, there is something to say." ”
Dad took a breath, his face was heavy, and he was obviously very determined, "Kid, I have a secret to tell you." Your mother knows the secret. I don't want your mother to say that I just don't want her to be sad. This matter has been buried in my heart for more than 20 years, and you have grown up. It's time for me to tell you the truth. ”
Seeing that I was listening carefully, my father said heavily, "Son, you are not my own son. ”
Seeing that I didn't speak, my father mistook it for me because I didn't believe what he said, and said seriously, "It's true." I'm not kidding. ”
A gust of wind blew and I felt a little cold. I shuddered and said, "Dad, it's windy, I'll push you back." ”
Seeing that I didn't take it seriously, my father hurriedly said, "I talked to you, did you hear me?"
I've never seen my dad look like this, and he said gently, "I heard it." ”
When my dad saw me hear the news, he was calm. I let out a sigh of relief, looked up at him and said, "Dad, I already know what you said." ”
"Do you know?" Dad was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Did your mother say that?"
"It's not. I said in a relaxed tone, "I found it myself." ”
"How did you find out. ”
"Dad, you forgot. Your son is a doctor. ”
"No way. Dad said with a look of disbelief, "Only your mother and I know this secret, and no third person knows." ”
"Dad, I already know. On the day you got into a car accident. "When I mentioned it again, I was relieved a lot, "Dad is bleeding too much and needs a blood transfusion. Mom and Dad both have a blood type of B, and mine has a blood type of A. I'm a doctor, so I understand. What does it mean that the son's blood type is not the same as the parent's. ”
When my father saw me say these things, he let out a deep sigh, "You already know, what are your plans for the future?" ”
My dad seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he wanted to know my truest thoughts. He was even more scared, and I would say that I would leave them and go in search of my biological parents.
I said, "They gave me life, but you gave me a second life, and I will be raised as a man." Who they are doesn't mean much to me anymore. You will always be my father and mother. I will always be your son. ”
"Son, why are you so troubled? ”
"You grew up with me, and I will grow old with you. ”
"Kid, you don't want to know where you came from. ”
"Dad!" I said, "I asked you why people suffer. You made me sit on a big rock in the stream and realize it myself. ”
Dad didn't expect me to talk about it, so he asked, "What did you realize?" ”
"The reason why people are suffering is because they think too much and want too much. With tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, I said, "I will know what I should know." I don't know something, so why spend a lot of time knowing. ”
"Kid, it's different. Dad hurriedly asked, "Don't you want to meet them?" ”
"Dad, I know you're doing it for my good. But, I have grown up and have my own opinions and ideas. Twenty years ago, they abandoned me out of desperation. For more than twenty years, I have not seen them come to me. When I was growing up, I didn't have them. Whether they will appear in my life or not is not so important anymore. ”
"What's most important to you. ”
"Cherish the people in front of you and live in the moment. ”
"Kid, I've been hiding it for more than twenty years, will you blame me. ”
"Nope. I don't blame you at all. I said sincerely, "I want to thank you." It was you who made me grow up full of sunshine and happiness. It was you who made me feel the warmth. It was also you and Mom who taught me to be grateful, forgive and let go. It was you who told me not to live with hatred because of other people's mistakes. ”
"Well, you've grown up and have your own ideas. I won't say more. Dad said comfortably, "Child, there are some things that cannot be escaped, so face them bravely." I know about you and Xiao Xiao. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a heavy burden on your heart. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be..."
"Dad, it's my own choice. I stopped and said, "Since I was a child, I have been willful and naughty, and you have tolerated me and taken care of me." Now, I'm grown. It is also time to contribute to the family. ”
"I'm glad you could say that. The father breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Son, don't stretch yourself too hard, and don't make yourself too bitter." There are some things that cannot be escaped, so face them bravely. I know that you are a strong person, and nothing we say can change your current perception. However, what Dad wants to say is that life seems long, but it is also very short. Whether it's for people or things, you have to follow your heart. ”
"Heart. "I unconsciously touched my heart and I felt it beating.
"I know you have Xiao Xiao in your heart. It's just that now you have fallen into a misunderstanding. You didn't dare to face it, and you chose to run away. Dad shook his head and said, "Son, learn to be yourself." ”
I didn't dare to look my dad in the eye and tilted my head to one side. I knew what my dad said was true and right. But, now that I have to do something, my heart will be a little better. Since I chose to walk alone, why should I care where my shadow falls?
Dad said, "Look what's here." ”
I said, "Crossroads." ”
"You're at a crossroads, whether it's going south, north, east, west, you can get out of here and get where you want to go. However, the crossroads of life are not like this. Dad slowed down and said, "At the crossroads of life, not in every direction, you can go out." When you go the wrong way, don't hit the south wall before you choose to turn back. ”
Dad's speech is always full of charm and contemplation. But he won't break it, but let me understand it myself.
I didn't want to dwell on this issue, so I changed the subject and said, "Dad, the wind is blowing." I'll send you back!"
Dad nodded and motioned to go back.
When my mother saw that we had just appeared in the ward, she anxiously asked, "Where are you going?"
The father said with a big grin, "The ward is too stuffy, so I asked my son to go out with me to breathe." ”
My mother said domineeringly, "You can't go out without my consent." ”
"Good, good, good. Dad said meekly, "I listen to you, can't I?"
My father moved to the hospital bed and said to me, "You've been resting long enough." Young people in their twenties can't stay here forever! ”
I heard my dad want me to go back to work, but my dad hasn't fully recovered, and I can't rest assured. My mother saw through what I was thinking, and said with a smile, "You can go with confidence! ”
I saw that the two elders had spoken, and if I stayed here, I would disturb them. I said, "Dad, you can recuperate in peace." Mom, you have to take care of your body too. I'll go back to work tomorrow, don't forget to inform me if there's anything going on at home. ”
"Well, that's what young people are supposed to do. Seeing that I understood his good intentions, my father said, "Don't forget, when you are at the crossroads, you must calm down and choose well." Those who should be seen, be bold to meet. Say what you have to say. You have to know that when you choose this intersection at an intersection, you will miss people at other intersections. ”
