Zhou Yan took the lead in leaving the long river, and when he left, his face was calm, and his anger was obvious.

Chang An has been with him for so many years, and knows that he is a person who can control his emotions very much, and it is the first time he has seen him so angry.

After the person left, she stood alone in the living room.

The lights are very bright, the house is very large, the heating is already very strong, and the wind is blowing hot air out, but Chang An still feels cold all over his body and the soles of his feet are soft.

She slumped back on the couch, and her eyes were on the messy coffee table, the brushes and papers she had turned over, and the divorce agreement that had been drafted at the beginning of the paragraph.

The warm glass of water had already cooled.

Chang An picked up the thin chain next to the water cup, the chain was made of platinum, it was broken, and the little jade rabbit hanging on it was broken into several pieces, and she picked up the pieces one by one.

……

Chang An didn't know how to get out of the long river, and only calmed down a little when he walked to the bus stop.

I changed two buses on the way, and it was almost nine o'clock at the entrance of the hospital.

Chang An bought some fruit at a nearby supermarket, and when he entered the ward, the aunt in the next bed was tucking the quilt for the child.

"Auntie..."

The middle-aged woman turned around and made a booing gesture.

"The child is asleep. ”

Chang An took a look, and sure enough, he saw that the little guy was already asleep.

"Trouble. ”

"Don't bother, the child is very well-behaved, just now my son sent two bowls of small wontons and fed her half a bowl. ”

Chang An was grateful.

To be honest, she couldn't hold on during this time, not to mention the economy, her physical strength and energy alone were enough.

Fortunately, this aunt is willing to help and often gives her a hand.

"Where's my uncle?"

The middle-aged woman sighed, "I got an injection and just fell asleep." ”

Chang An knew that the "injection" in her mouth was not a conventional medicine, but a morphine-based long-acting analgesic.

My aunt's husband is already in the advanced stage of liver cancer, and he was only sent to the hospital last month for diagnosis, and he has been living here since then, but he has given up surgery and chemotherapy.

I went to the ICU late last night, but I stayed in it for one night and came out again.

The aunt said that the cost of the ICU was too expensive, and it was a few hundred a day.

The couple is a migrant worker, 20 years ago from their hometown to Yunling to work, have an only son, finally trained to graduate from college, just last year just bought a house with a mortgage, like most new citizens, the first half of their lives with life for money, dirty work and tiring work to do everything, earn a lot, but not willing to eat or wear, and when the child grows up, he will give his child all his money to buy real estate, in order to just want to take root in the city.

Chang An never knew that their life was so difficult before, and he had never even paid attention to this group, but after seeing and contacting more over the years, he realized how difficult it was.

"Auntie, I bought some fruit for you and your uncle to eat. Chang An put the bag he was carrying on the table.

The middle-aged woman waved her hand and refused to ask for it.

"How can you break the bank. ”

"Yes, thank you for always helping me take care of Xiao Zhi. ”

"Ouch, such a trifle... Everyone has a ward, and it is fate, and I see that it is not easy for you to be a single mother with a child, so you can help a little, with a gesture, you are really polite to me. "Auntie just refuses to accept the fruit and pushes it around.

There were other patients in the ward, and Chang An felt that this was not very good-looking, so he could only carry the bag over for the time being.

A few minutes later, she washed a plate of cherries and served them to her aunt.

The aunt saw it and called out, "This thing is quite expensive, you better leave it for the child to eat." ”

"I still have it, it's for my uncle. ”

As soon as the aunt's face turned stubble, her eyes suddenly turned red. "I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to eat it. ”

Chang An didn't know what to say for a while, and blamed himself for why he didn't think about it before he said it, staying in the ward every day, or this kind of tumor ward, seeing the seriously ill and seriously ill family members every day, maybe everyone was still talking and laughing one second, and the next second they would fall into endless despair and grief because of a few sensitive words.

"I'm sorry, I..." Chang An saw that her aunt's tears began to flutter, and she was even more upset, so she quickly pulled out a tissue and gave it to her, "Auntie, don't be like this, uncle, he will be fine." ”

Chang An is actually not very comfortable with people, and this kind of thing is actually said in vain.

The middle-aged woman wiped her tears with a tissue.

"Okay, you can comfort me, I know what the situation is in my family, and he himself knows it, it's useless. ”

"Auntie......"

"But your child is different, the doctor said that it can still be saved, so you must think about it carefully, the child is still so young, not to mention the crime, but you can't just watch her lie like this, Auntie is not afraid to tell you, now the disease is not serious, you can eat and sleep, but you can try it in the future... I screamed in pain all night long, my whole body was sallow, and my stomach was ...... Look at my belly ......"

The middle-aged man on the bed next door, Chang An has read his medical records hanging at the head of the bed, and he is only 49 years old, but he is already yellow, skinny like a shrunken old man, only his stomach is bulging like a ball, his skin and meridians are stretched out, and Chang An doesn't dare to look at it every time the nurse comes to remove the evil fluid from him.

"Look at his belly... Really, Xiao Zheng, I really can't do it... Stay up here, there is no money to treat, and it can't be cured, think it's better to let him go early, and save this sin, but the child is different, the child ...... If you don't feel distressed when you are a mother, you have to see if you smash the pot and sell iron, right?"

The woman cried so much that she cried a handful of snot in the end, Chang An persuaded a few words at first, but then saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she simply stopped persuading.

When a loved one is sick, it is not only the patient himself who suffers.

Chang An put on his coat again and walked out of the ward silently.

The floor where Xiao Zhi lives is full of serious troubles, so you can see all kinds of shocking scenes along the road.

Patients with urine bags, patients with gastric tubes, and patients who are lying on the bed in pain after the painkillers have taken effect.

This is a hospital, and it is a tumor hospital, many people come to this is the last stop of life, life is full of life, human warmth, and life and death separation, every day, every hour, and even every second is staged here.

At first, Chang An was completely uncomfortable when he first moved in, because he often heard wailing in the middle of the night, but he had already adapted to it after living for half a month, or he was numb.

At this time, when I entered the elevator, I heard footsteps again, nurses and doctors rushed out of a certain ward pushing the hospital bed, family members were crying next to them, and two male nurses ran in front of the road.

"Let's make it!"

"Trouble Jean!"

Chang An was squeezed into a corner, and his arm hit the iron railing around him.

A medical staff is kneeling on the bed to resuscitate a patient, pressing his hands on his chest, pressing and squeezing over and over again.

In the middle of winter, Dr. Layue's forehead was oozing with sweat.

They are all fighters in a race against death, and sometimes life turns in this minute, but Chang An heard a "poof", a mouthful of blood spurted out of the patient's mouth, and the bright red and viscous blood was all sprayed on the oxygen mask, and the family members next to him began to scream and scream in more horror......

There are often people who suffer from gains and losses for a little thing, feel that men don't love themselves anymore, feel that the company environment is too unfair, and feel that life can't go on, but you might as well let them go to the critical ward of the hospital to see the life and death there, and then look at the hell on earth.

Every day, every minute, every second, is filled with sickness and despair.

The elevator stopped on the third floor.

The nurse pushed the bed out, and a bunch of crying and screaming people rushed out in some unknown direction.

Chang An looked up at the lights in the corridor on the third floor at the last second when the elevator closed, and the lights were white at the end.

The elevator went down, the cry gradually decreased, until it reached the bottom floor, Chang An ran to the open space outside in one breath.

The biting cold wind blew, and the coldness blew away her condensed and paralyzed emotions.

She covered her face with trembling hands, and it took a few seconds for her to burst into tears......

……

The next morning, Chang An went downstairs to the canteen to get porridge and breakfast, and as soon as he entered the door of the ward, he saw the middle-aged aunt chatting with another patient's family.

“… Gone?"

"Gone, last night's thing. ”

"Why so quickly, I remember he just moved in at the beginning of the month. ”

"Yes, but it was already late when I moved in, and I heard that the family still wanted to have surgery, so I was persuaded by the doctor. ”

“… Surgery at an advanced stage is a rush, and you may not even be able to get off the operating table. ”

"Who says it's not? But the family is reluctant, the only child, only in his early thirties, and there is a two-year-old son at home, tsk...... It's terrible, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, it's pitiful to think about it......"

"Why did you go early, you can still be saved by surgery early. ”

"Who knows, hey... So human life is cheap, it's only half a month, and if you don't say it's gone, it's gone. ”

Chang An remembered the scene she saw in the elevator last night, she recognized the patient, the thirty-two year old in the next room, it is said that before she found out that she was sick, her life, work and family were all happy, but it was only half a month, and everything was gone.

Chang An gasped hard at the door and walked into the ward with breakfast.

Xiao Zhi had woken up and was lying on the bed playing with Chang An's mobile phone.

"Why do you play with your phone together, your eyes are bad. Chang An scolded lightly and went over to take the mobile phone in the child's hand.

Xiao Zhi turned over and made a face at her.

Yesterday afternoon, Chang An asked the doctor to give her a nutritional injection, 800 yuan per injection, which is a bit expensive, but looking at her today is obviously much better than a few days ago.

"Mother An'an, if you have bad eyes, won't you be able to go to school in the future?" the child suddenly lay there and asked.

Chang An was stunned, "Does Xiaozhi want to study?"

"Yes, of course I do, but Director Jiang said that not every child of our sunflowers has the opportunity to go to school. ”

Funds are limited, and if there is no one to sponsor and adopt, so many children will not be able to receive a normal education.

"But Xiaozhi is different, as long as you obediently listen to the doctor's words and take medicine and injections on time every day, An An's mother will definitely let you go to school. ”

"Really? Is it really okay as long as Xiaozhi is obedient?"

The child's heart is so happy to hear this.

Chang An touched her hair, "Of course, when did I lie to you?"

"But my illness... Aunt Nurse said I was going to stay here forever. ”

Chang An pursed his lower lip lightly, filtering out a little emotion before continuing: "No, I believe An An's mother, Xiaozhi will be able to go to school soon, so get up for breakfast now?"

After breakfast, Chang An went to see the doctor again.

The attending doctor still said the same thing, hoping that the family can arrange the operation as soon as possible.

"At present, the child's condition has not reached the worst point, and the condition is still under control, but it is difficult to say in the future... If cancer metastasis occurs, it will be difficult to undergo surgery in the later stage......

Chang An came out of the doctor's office and found a quiet corner to smoke a cigarette.

……

Rongbang's IPO has reached the final stage, and it was another ultra-long meeting in the afternoon, but Zhou Wei was obviously not in the state.

After the meeting, Lao Deng went to his office to look for him.

"What's going on today, it depends on your mental fault. ”

Zhou Wei pinched his eyebrows with his hand.

"It's a little tiring. ”

"Didn't sleep well last night?"

Not only didn't he sleep well, he didn't sleep all night, but Zhou Wei didn't answer, looked up and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to come and see you. Lao Deng dragged a chair and sat down, "I heard Xu Nan say, you asked him to take time to go to Jiao Chun recently?"

"Hmm. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to know where she has been and what has happened to her all these years. ”

"Do you think that's important?"

"It doesn't matter. Zhou Wei smiled bitterly.

At first, he really felt that it didn't matter, as long as the people came back, he could ignore the rest, but Chang An's current attitude was obviously evading, especially the intense emotions last night, which was very abnormal.

"I need to have a bottom in my heart. ”

Deng Shunlin originally had something to persuade, but seeing Zhou Wei's tired demeanor, he didn't want to say anything more.

"Okay, I hope your affairs will have a result soon, otherwise I see that you will not have a good year this year, and you will still toss about going public. ”

Zhou Wei smiled bitterly again, "Isn't there still you?"

"I'm not the boss!"

"Will give you the original shares. ”

"Forget it, I'm at this age, I plan to retire early after a few more years, and besides, with a workaholic boss like you, life is not quiet, take the shares and return the money, and then put your life into it." ”

Deng Shunlin also dared to speak, so he relied on his friendship with Zhou Wei for ten years.

But what he told was also the truth, Zhou Wei really worked hard at work, the rhythm was tight, and the schedule was full, especially in recent years, projects one after another, and people in the company secretly scolded him for being a workaholic.

Zhou Wei smiled and waved his hand: "When you want to retire, I will definitely not stop you." ”

"You don't need to stop it, you can't stop it. ”

"Just thinking about disarming and returning to the field as soon as possible?"

"Of course, I've been working hard for so many years, and I want to live a comfortable life for a few years. ”

"Ye Li's ...... over there"

Zhou Wei's topic turned a little violently, and Deng Shunlin's eyes widened, "Why do you pull her there?"

"When are you going to have a banquet?"

"What a banquet? ”

Zhou Yan sneered, "Don't think I don't know, you live with her." ”

Deng Shunlin: "......"

Zhou Wei: "Is it possible to make her so nameless and scoreless all the time?"

Deng Shunlin had a rare tangled expression on his face.

"It's not... It's not a matter of being famous, it's so easy to give a name, it's a minute to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but I think... She's so much younger than me, she's almost a round old, what does she think if I really propose to get married?"

"She doesn't agree?"

"I don't know!"

"What do you mean I don't know? Have you asked?"

Lao Deng actually touched his head a little shyly, "Not yet." ”

"You haven't even asked, how do you know she won't agree?"

“……”

"Old Deng!" Zhou Wei smiled bitterly, "Just hurry up in front of you, don't wait for someone to run away and chase you again, it may be too late." ”

Deng Shunlin caught the lonely taste in his eyes and sighed, "Cheng, I'll try it when I go back!"

After Deng Shunlin left, Zhou Wei took his mobile phone and looked at it.

This is the Nth time he has looked at his phone today, but the other party still has no news, he can't bear it, and finally edited a text message and sent it.

He asked, "How's it going?"

But the text message sank into the sea, and Chang An did not reply a word.

Before getting off work, Zhou Wei called her again, but the result was the same, the phone did not work.

……

Chang An went to buy lunch and brought one to the aunt in the next bed by the way.

came back to feed Xiaozhi something, and helped her wash and change into clean pajamas.

"Auntie, please help me take care of it again tonight. ”

Chang An went back to the rental house to pack a few pieces of luggage, in fact, there was nothing to bring, there were all over the Changhe, so she only packed two sets of close-fitting clothes in her bag.

Before leaving the door, Grandma Chen came over.

"You're back, how is Xiao Zhi?"

During this time, Chang An has been in the hospital almost all the time, so he hasn't seen the old lady for many days.

She replied, "Very well." ”

"Still in the hospital?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why did you stay so long this time? ”

"The doctor said it would be better to have an operation on her. ”

Grandma Chen also knew a little bit about Xiaozhi's condition before, "It's good to have surgery, and only by doing surgery can you cure the root of the disease, but the money is ......."

"Grandma, I'm trying to figure out a way to make money, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Chang An put the bag on his back and helped Grandma Chen to the opposite door, "Okay, it's cold outside, you can get to sleep early, and when Xiaozhi is discharged from the hospital, I will take her to see you." ”

Chang An waved his hand, and the old lady leaned on the door frame to enter the house, and when the people were far away, she muttered: "...... It is estimated that it is owed in the previous life, and it will be repaid in this life. ”

……

Zhou Wei was supposed to get off work on time, but before leaving, he was delayed by things and temporarily worked overtime.

It was about six o'clock before I walked out of the office.

On the way, I received a call from Xu Shilong.

"Hey, brother, I found all the files and confessions you asked me to turn over, but the three kidnappers should have been recruited at that time, and I also read the confessions and transcripts several times from beginning to end, and I didn't find any doubts or omissions. ”

Zhou Wei had actually expected this answer, and he didn't have much hope for it.

"Got it, trouble!"

"Eh, it's also incidental to be so polite to me, but if you want to say that she refuses to go back, I don't think it will be ......" Xu Shilong wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhou asked, "What will it be?"

"No... Nothing, that's what I said. He obviously swallowed something, and then asked, "Are you free today, come out for a drink or two?"

Zhou Wei glanced at his watch, it was almost seven o'clock.

"I'm afraid not today. ”

"There's another dinner, Cheng, I know you're a busy person, so let's change the day, change the sky and sit down. ”

Zhou Wei didn't explain much, "Okay, I'll go back and take some time." ”

On the way, Zhou Wei called Chang An again, and finally it was not a busy signal, but a direct shutdown reminder, so angry that he threw the mobile phone into the seat at once.

Hard bones, not willing to be soft at all.

Zhou Yan opened the car window, propped one arm on the window, held his temple and pinched it several times before calming down the emotions in his chest.

But in the end, the car still got on the outer ring and galloped all the way, arriving at the Changhe River after more than half an hour.

Zhou Wei parked the car at the door, did not rush to get out of the car, but lowered the window first.

There was a lone street lamp at the door, and the few cigarette butts on the steps that had been thrown last night had long since been swept away by the cleaners.

Zhou Wei got out of the car and pushed open the courtyard door.

In fact, he also gambled, betting on how important the child was, or betting on whether she still had a little nostalgia or longing in her heart, but at this time, the door was closed and there was no light in the house.

It's still a cold house.

She didn't come back.

Zhou Wei stood in the courtyard and bowed her head and smiled bitterly, this trick is really bad, when will she wronged herself for money?

Huffling through the yard.

Zhou Wei pressed the password, opened the door, turned on the light, threw the computer on the cabinet next to him, ripped off the tie all the way, unbuttoned the coat, but froze in place the moment he turned to the living room......

On the couch lay a mass of figures, hands and feet folded, arms and hair covering most of their faces.

Zhou Wei felt that his heart began to beat again after being lost all day.

He deliberately walked over with a light step, and saw a black backpack on the carpet next to the coffee table, and Chang An was lying there, probably asleep.

I fell asleep again, and I saw her the same last night, as if she could sleep anytime and anywhere.

How sleepy it is.

Zhou Wei wanted to cover her with the coat in his hand, but after thinking about it, he gave up and went to the guest room to get a thin blanket.

The thin blanket was gentle, and Chang An showed no signs of waking up when she covered it, but Zhou Yi was attracted by her sleeping appearance, and carefully scooped all the broken hair swept off her sideburns behind her ears, so that half of her clean side face was revealed.

The light fell on her face in small pieces, her eyelashes were upturned, her nose was straight, her lips were a little dry, but she slept peacefully.

Zhou Wei felt that such Chang An completely overlapped with the appearance in his memory.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "It's rare to be obedient once...", he muttered softly, then got up, went over to turn up the heating again, and dimmed all the lights in the living room......

Chang An hadn't slept well for a long time, so he slept a little heavily that night, and it had been a long time since he woke up.

She opened her eyes, the "strange" table, the "strange" carpet... There are also "unfamiliar" environments.

She sat up from the couch almost in one fell swoop, the blanket on her floor.

It was groggy and dark all around.

"Awake?" suddenly came from the other side.

Chang An was startled, and when he looked up, he saw a person sitting on the sofa opposite, holding a computer and doing things there.

"You... When did you come here?"

Zhou Xun closed his notebook, "It's about seven o'clock." ”

"What time is it?"

Zhou Wei glanced at his watch: "Half past nine." ”

So she slept for three hours?

Chang An raised his hand and knocked on his head, he was really too tired to fall asleep recently.

Zhou Wei was used to seeing her ignorant appearance when she couldn't wake up before, and this time it was exactly the same as then, the only difference was that she had a half-length hair, and she was negligent in taking care of it, so she slept messily, and even had a handful of disobedient cocked on her head.

Zhou Wei got up and went over and turned on the light, and the room was lit up again.

Chang An couldn't adapt to the light, so he covered it with his hand.

The hair on the top of her head was still curling, and she didn't know it.
