Hongchen drove his second-hand car to the hospital he had come to not long ago, and found the doctor who had called Yue Feng. The doctor was busy, and there were more people to see him. Hongchen was polite and didn't bother, so he sat down on the bench in the waiting room and waited for someone there to be less before asking him.

The waiting time is as long as going to jail, and the result is like a bolt from the blue.

The doctor finally couldn't survive Hongchen's stubborn questioning, and told Hongchen about his condition, Hongchen suffered from a very rare (in fact, there are many people who have had it, and the mortality rate is not very high, only 70%) blood-type disease, which is simply leukemia. The cause of this disease is unknown, and it may be related to long-term computer exposure to radiation, or it may run in families, or it may be ....... Anyway, the only way is a bone marrow transplant, but the cost is very high, and the success rate is not 100%.

Hongchen silently accepted this fact, he looked at the little money he earned every month, and he was still far from changing his bone marrow. In order to confirm the diagnosis, Hongchen came to a hospital where the cancer was treated for a follow-up, and the results received a few days later were consistent with what the doctor said, which seemed to be true, and Hongchen was sentenced to death, but fortunately, it was just that the middle stage of the cancer was not yet in the advanced stage, and it was not as fast as Yue Feng and them. At least three or five years will have to wait for him to become terminally ill, so Hongchen still has time to deal with the things he once wanted to do and not go, to say things that he hasn't said yet, and to see the scenery he hasn't seen yet. It's just that his dream of an anime empire may be difficult to come true!

In order not to let grandma know that she had cancer, Hongchen did everything possible to fool grandma, in fact, grandma already knew, a few days after he was sent back from Yuefeng, it was still when Uncle Wang and others heard it, grandma felt sad, but she was afraid that Hongchen would be even more sad if she knew, so she should pretend not to know. This should be a well-intentioned deception!

Doctor Jian yì Hongchen went to chemotherapy, Hongchen did not accept the doctor's Jianyì, in Hongchen saw that since he knew the end of his life, he couldn't spend a day in a daze, and he was busy all day long, as if he had changed a person. Whether in action or language, Hongchen has changed the way he behaved before. Every day, according to the table planned by himself, he did it one by one, went to the library to read books, accompanied his grandmother to morning exercises, went to the river to fish alone, etc., but the biggest change was that Hongchen wanted to forget the fairy tale, after all, he couldn't grow old with the fairy tale, and he didn't want the fairy tale to be sad for himself.

During this period, Fairy Tale also called from time to time, Hongchen was already busy with work, or hung up on Fairy Tale without saying a few words for the reason that he didn't have time. At first, the fairy tale thought that Hongchen was in a bad mood, but after a long time, the fairy tale also felt that there was something wrong with Hongchen, and even she dreamed that Hongchen would not leave with her back to her head, and let the fairy tale wail alone.

And so it was the middle of summer, the hottest time of the year, both in the south and in the north. Hongchen hung up the fairy tale phone without saying a few words again. Then sit quietly on a deck chair under the grape trellis in the courtyard. Looking up at the starry sky through the leafy trellises, you can occasionally see a few stars twinkling.

It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening, but the heat wave is still in the middle of this small courtyard, Hongchen's forehead will seep tax from time to time, and he has a wet towel in his hand, which he will wipe if it is hot.

"Hongchen, why don't you sleep so late?" Grandma told Hongchen to sleep in the house. Because tomorrow Hongchen will accompany grandma to worship grandpa. This must be a traditional practice. Every day on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is known as the Ghost Festival, so many people go to pay respects to their deceased relatives. May they rest in peace in another world. And it has brought blessings to future generations.

"Got it, grandma, wait for me to wash my face, I'll sleep in a while, you go to sleep first!" Hongchen agreed, but never left the chaise longue. (This chaise longue was made by my grandfather when he was alive, and it has been many years.) But the craftsmanship is sophisticated, and I know that it can still be used now. Hongchen has a lot of feelings for this recliner, as long as it is summer, he will sit on his grandfather's lap, and grandpa will sit on this recliner to tell Hongchen the story, although grandpa is not highly educated, but when it comes to telling stories, it is relish, which makes people listen to a very fascinated feeling, I don't know if it is grandpa's voice or the plot of the story, or something else. ）

Hongchen's mobile phone rang again, Hongchen saw that it was a fairy tale, he didn't want to answer, he was reluctant, and he didn't know what to say. The phone rang for a long time, and Hongchen was doing ideological struggles. In the end, before Hongchen could make a choice, the phone ringtone stopped. Grandma's voice came again.

"Hongchen, why didn't you answer your phone when it rang for so long?

"Ahh Grandma didn't say anything else.

About another 5 minutes passed, the phone rang again, Hongchen had to pick up the phone, he couldn't always avoid it!

"Hongchen, why didn't you answer the phone just now?" Fairy Tale asked angrily.

"Oh, I just went to take a shower, didn't hear me!"

"It's Halloween in a few days, didn't you go to worship grandpa?"

"My grandmother and I are going to go tomorrow. ”

"Then you don't have anything to say to me?"

"Yes"

"Well, it's just 'En', and nothing else?"

"Yes"

"Hongchen, something has been wrong with you lately, are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine if I'm not sick" Hongchen heard the fairy tale say that he was sick, so he quickly changed the topic. "It's getting late today, so you should go to bed early. I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go to see you on my annual leave in a few days, I love you. ”

"En" Hongchen has nothing to say, so he can only keep 'En, En, En'

Just like that, the fairy tale hung up.

Hongchen's sleepiness also slowly came up, and he cleaned up and went back to the house to sleep.

The next day, Hongchen accompanied his grandmother to his grandfather's grave, and his grandmother sat in front of his grandfather's grave for a long time without speaking. According to the previous custom, Hongchen kowtowed to his grandfather 3 times.

"Grandma, let's go back"

"Hongchen, you go back first, I want to sit with your grandfather"

"Then I'll sit with my grandfather for a while."

"No need, I still want to whisper something with your grandfather"

"Oh, okay, I'll go back first"

Hongchen had no choice but to go home alone.

Grandma sat there alone for a long time, from the morning. By the time I got back, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Hongchen knew that grandma missed grandpa. I'm afraid I don't have many days left. I can't help but start feeling sad again!
