Chapter 13: Something Wrong with the Brain
I didn't expect Xinya to wake me up early in the morning.
It's all to blame for not thinking it through, and I didn't explain it to her the day before, so that she could come to me later today.
"Why didn't you take off your clothes and sleep like this?" Xinya was puzzled.
I really felt so tired that I didn't want to get up, so I said to Xinya: "I came back very late last night, I was too lazy to take off my clothes and go to sleep, I still want to sleep more, you cook at noon, I will go down when I wake up." ”
Xinya looked at me suspiciously again, swallowed back what she wanted to say, put on the quilt for me, and turned to go out.
When I woke up, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. I washed up and went downstairs to find Xinya sitting on the couch watching TV, muting the TV.
"Let's go out to dinner, what do you want to eat?" I thought Xinya didn't cook.
"Why do you go out to eat? I bought all the vegetables, washed and cut them, steamed the rice, and fried them very quickly. Xinya had already stood up from the couch as she spoke, handed me the TV remote control, and turned to go into the kitchen.
I followed Xinya into the kitchen and said, "Then I'll do it for you!"
"Alright, don't mess with me, you go watch TV for a while, I'll be fine right away. "Xinya kicked me out of the kitchen like a chicken.
"Why did you go last night?" asked Xinya nonchalantly as she ate.
I quickly stuffed the dish that was holding the chopsticks into my mouth and chewed slowly until there was nothing left to chew on, still not thinking of an answer.
"What did you say?" I took the opportunity to reach into the bowl of the sauce elbow, and picked up what I thought was the biggest elbow and stuffed it into my mouth.
"I asked you what you did yesterday last day, night, and after, why?" and she probably suspected me of pretending to be deaf, and Xinya repeated her question word by word.
Fortunately, I've figured out how to reply.
"Oh, someone introduced a leader of a state-owned enterprise to know each other, and wanted to cooperate to do something, so they sat together in the evening. ”
Which things are more sensitive, Xinya's brain is still relatively clear. Although judging by her expression, she seemed to believe it or not, but she stopped there.
After lunch, I was about to wash the dishes, but Xinya stopped me again and said, "You don't need to wash the dishes, you can go and prepare to fulfill your promise yesterday." ”
After being stunned for a while, I remembered that I didn't let Xinya live here yesterday, and promised to continue to talk about my past with my wife today.
When Xinya finished cleaning up the kitchen and sat down on the sofa, I was squinting and leaning on the sofa and pretending to doze off.
Since Xinya and I have had more opportunities to be alone together, I have told Xinya a lot of things in the past, joys and sorrows, sweet and bitter, sour and spicy, and I can't even remember what I have said and which I have not.
In fact, I was squinting on the sofa and thinking, which part of the past should I tell Xinya today?
"I don't know where to tell you. "I'm embarrassed.
"Tell me about the most memorable gift you've received from your wife when you're in love, either priceless or meaningful to you. ”
I think Xinya's tip is very good, more specific, and easy to explain.
"When we fall in love, it's like imported goods are rotten now, and domestic goods are also on the top. At that time, foreign imported goods were very rare and in-demand, and they were only sold in the designated import commodity building, and those that needed indicators were not sold to you at all without foreign exchange coupons.
I remember giving it to my wife at that time, when it was still a girlfriend, it was a Japanese walkma
, because I had just been out of the country on business at that time, and I had some foreign exchange indicators on hand. ”
"She liked it when she got it!"
I said, "yes, it was a rarity back then, and you didn't necessarily have money in your pocket to buy it, not to mention the ..... income at that time."
I felt that Xinya didn't react, and glanced at her, and found that her eyes were a little misty, half-squinted. I was about to ask her what was wrong, but she said unhurriedly, "Hmm." She was so happy when she got it. Later, she gave you a gift too. "The posture and demeanor have remained the same.
"Soon on my birthday, my wife gave me a shaver that was considered to be very high-end at the time, and imported Philips could only be bought with foreign exchange coupons. Do you know that at that time, technical or administrative institutions had to break their heads in order to compete for a place abroad, and we were a foreign trade unit that was relatively better. His wife is a teacher, so how can she have the opportunity to go abroad, so she has entrusted several people to transfer the foreign exchange coupons. ”
"Of course, it took a lot of effort, the first time I went to the imported goods building, only the red ones were sold, which was not good-looking, and after a while, I ran again to buy the dark green ones. ”
Xinya still maintained her posture and demeanor, as if she was talking to herself, and I don't think she noticed the look of shock on my face when I heard her say this.
"What were you talking about?" Perhaps because what Xinya said was exactly what my wife had done when she bought a razor, I spoke a few degrees higher in surprise.
Xinya was startled: "What? Why are you calling me?"
I asked her again what she had just said, and she said, "I haven't spoken, I've been listening to you?"
It's just once or twice, and I am really worried about Xinya, and I always feel that her brain has not recovered since she was injured in a car accident.
I wanted to ask Xinya where the recovery treatment was done, and go to the medical institution or doctor at the time to consult, but Xinya said that she didn't know.
However, it was difficult for me to take her directly to the neurological hospital for examination. Xinya is actually very sensitive, because every time she tactfully hints if her brain is a little abnormal, she quickly understands what I mean, and her face turns red.
I think the car accident was originally a painful experience for the rest of her life, and if she was stimulated by such a sensitive issue as having a brain problem, anyone who didn't have a little self-esteem would feel embarrassed.
But others don't know, only I, who have personally witnessed her nonsense like jumping rope, can realize that the problem is really not ordinarily serious.
If you can't go on like this, you have to find a way to check Xinya, and it's not good to delay the treatment.
"Xinya, do you have your uncle's number?"
"Why do you want my uncle's phone?" Xinya squinted at me.
"It's nothing, you work in my company, and now you live with me most of the time, wouldn't it be convenient to find your uncle to have a phone call if you are in a hurry?"
"Don't call him, he won't take care of my business if he doesn't have to take care of it. I was not close to my uncle, in fact, I rarely interacted, I guess I can't remember what happened before after the car accident, and he rarely asked me about my situation again. From Xinya's explanation, it seems that her relationship with her uncle has indeed faded.
I originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xinya's uncle which hospital treated Xinya at that time, but I didn't expect them to be so indifferent to each other. The more this happened, the more I felt that I couldn't let Xinya's situation go unchecked, leaving her uncle alone, Xinya had no relatives, and what kind of sadness should be in my heart.
From the perspective of company management, each employee also needs to leave an emergency contact phone number, so Xinya told me her uncle's phone number.
