610.Chapter 610: The Boundary Between Life and Death
In the back garden of the Lei family, under the sun, Shen Xiaoman sat on a comfortable soft couch, wearing a white thickened coat, her face was paler than the coat, and beside her, were Shen Bingqing and Shen Yujie's little sisters. Since Shen Xiaoman fell ill, the little sisters seemed to realize something, they were no longer as noisy as before, and most of the time they sat obediently by Shen Xiaoman's side, their little hands tightly grasped Shen Xiaoman's hand, and they were reluctant to leave a step, as if the mommy who loved them the most would disappear at any time.
"Mommy, are you very sick?" Shen Bingqing put his little face on Shen Xiaoman's hand, and his big eyes were full of worry.
"Why did Qing'er say that?"
"Because...... Every time I see Daddy crying, it means that Mommy is sick, and Qing'er sees Daddy crying while boiling medicine...... He also lied to Qing'er that he had entered the sand and reads. But Qing'er knows that there is no sand in the kitchen......"
Shen Xiaoman's eyes were astringent, and he reached out and hugged his eldest daughter to his lap, and touched her soft little face, "Well, Mommy is sick......"
"Will Mommy die?" Shen Yujie asked loudly, and then said, "Just like glutinous rice, you die when you get sick......
Glutinous rice is a stray dog adopted by Shen Xiaoman before, and it has been raised at home for more than ten years, and finally it is too old to walk, it is estimated that Ah Tao said that it was sick, and then it died, and it was buried in the back garden of the Lei family.
Looking at Shen Yujie's simple and childish eyes, Shen Xiaoman's eyes were moist, she had ten million reasons not to die, but in the face of an unstoppable fate, she was powerless to reverse it. But now, she had to find a way to minimize the damage to the children.
Wiping his tears, he tried to squeeze out a smile, "Well, people will die, just like glutinous rice, after people die, their souls will enter a place called heaven......"
Shen Xiaoman pointed to the sky and said, "That is heaven, your grandparents and grandmothers, they are watching us in heaven...... In the future, one day Mommy will go to that place, and at that time, if you miss Mommy, look up at the sky, and Mommy will be watching you from above, understand?"
After Shen Yujie listened, she suddenly burst into tears, "Don't, Jie'er doesn't want Mommy to go to heaven, it's not fun at all......!
Shen Yujie's crying made Shen Xiaoman also sad, and then shed tears, Shen Bingqing also put her little face in Shen Xiaoman's arms and cried in a low voice.
When Xia Yanxin followed Ah Tao into the Lei family's garden, she saw the mother and daughter hugging and crying, the scene was really worrying......
Seeing this, Ah Tao hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Shen Bingqing, "Ouch, young lady can't cry! It's going to make noise to the young grandmother, come, come, good, Grandma Tao is taking you to lunch." ”
After Ah Tao took the little sisters away, Shen Xiaoman sat on the soft couch, the tears in his eyes were not dry, and his face was sad......
"Why are you crying on this wonderful day? Don't cry, you're going to cry badly. Xia Yanxin sat beside her and wiped Shen Xiaoman's tears with a tissue.
After a long time, Shen Xiaoman withdrew his gaze from his daughter's body, turned his head to look at Xia Yanxin, and gently held her hand, "Yanyan, you and I sisters, can you promise me one thing?"
"Say, don't say one thing, even if it's a hundred, I'll promise you. ”
Not to mention from childhood to adulthood, two people are good enough to wear the same pair of pants. Let's say that Xia Yanxin has been in crisis many times in the past few years, and Shen Xiaoman has been by his side to help......
When she was pregnant with Kimi, she almost ended up on the street because of a misunderstanding with Long Yutian, but it was Shen Xiaoman who selflessly provided her with secluded protection......
When she came back from France with four-year-old Kimi, it was also the house provided by Shen Xiaoman for her to settle down, and she took care of her in life.
Not to mention, just recently, after Jinshi Jewelry was hollowed out by Jin Jiaxin, Xia Yanxin was just a phone call, and Shen Xiaoman called billions of funds......
Shen Xiaoman's deep friendship, for Xia Yanxin, although she is not a sister, she is better than a sister, and even like her own left and right hands. So no matter what Shen Xiaoman asks, she will agree without hesitation.
Shen Xiaoman looked at her gratefully, "I want you to promise me to let Kimi marry Jie'er in the future, do you agree?"
"Hmm, didn't you say before that it was Qingqing?" Xia Yanxin smiled, now that the children are young, she has always regarded it as a joke when it comes to getting married. Anyway, the little sisters of the Lei family all look beautiful and cute, and she wants to hug both of them to be her daughter-in-law......
Shen Xiaoman's expression was very strict, "Yanyan, I'll tell you seriously." Before, I also thought that Qingqing might be better than Kimi. But then I found out that Kimi and Jie'er are more compatible, and I have observed for a long time, my two daughters, Qingqing is more well-behaved and sensible, and more reassuring. And Jie'er is very naughty, very sensitive, and easily hurt, so I only entrust her to you to be the daughter-in-law of your Long family, and she can reassure me in this life!"
"Xiaoman, listening to your tone, how do I feel like a dying orphan? I met Lei Zijia at the door just now, and he said that your condition has gradually improved, and it will be cured in another ten days and a half months. ”
Shen Xiaoman smiled, "Hehe, I didn't tell you that I was going to die! This is not a deathbed orphan, anyway, you can just promise me." I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm only afraid of 10,000 reads;!"
"Okay, no problem! In the future, when your Jie'er is eighteen years old, I will let them get engaged first, and when they reach the legal age, I will arrange for them to get married, so you can rest assured? However, Xiaoman, there is no problem on my side, but your husband agrees? According to the current conditions, we are still not as good as the Lei family! If Jie'er is not happy in the future, I have no choice! After all, it is difficult to say about the children's affairs in the future. ”
Shen Xiaoman smiled bitterly, "I just want you, the future mother-in-law, to agree, only if I hand over Jie'er to you, I can rest assured!"
"Mm-hmm, this must be promised...... But, Xiaoman, I'm worried about you now, you have to get better quickly!"
Shen Xiaoman smiled lightly, looking at the sea in the distance, but the shadow in his heart was still getting bigger, the younger daughter was entrusted, what should the eldest daughter do? If one day in the future, if she leaves first, will Lei Zijia support this family? Right now, her illness, Lei Zijia's whole person is like a lost soul, she is not afraid of death, only afraid that the living will be sad forever.
Shen Xiaoman was not in good health, and after basking in the sun for a while at noon, he was hugged into the bedroom by Lei Zijia. Xia Yanxin accompanied the pair of little sisters to play in the garden and tell them stories, and the day passed quickly.
At six o'clock in the evening, Ah Ju brought the stewed tonic soup over on time.
Xia Yanxin took a sip and felt that something was wrong with the taste, "Sister-in-law Ju, why does today's soup taste different?"
Ah Ju was a little embarrassed, "Miss Xia's mouth is really powerful, and it will be different when you drink it." In the past, the soup was boiled by Mr. Long, but today this soup is made by me. Mr. Long prepared the medicinal herbs at noon, but when he was about to boil, he had something to go out and had no time to boil. He instructed me to boil according to his instructions, and I did what he said every step of the way, but I didn't expect that what came out was still different!"
"He's going out?" Xia Yanxin was very surprised, if Long Yutian didn't wear a mask, it wouldn't be unusual for him to go out. After he wore this mask, he usually only went out at night, and even if he did, he would never leave the island, but this time he actually went out?
"Yes, I brought a bodyguard and drove out, it seems that there is something urgent!Oh, he also said that he may not come back at night, so let the bodyguards who stayed behind strengthen the patrol!"
Xia Yanxin wrung her eyebrows slightly, and she became more and more sure in her heart that the Mr. Long who asked her to meet was Long Yutian, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental, but Long Yutian was so mysterious, what kind of trick was he play......ing?
Hehe, you bastard, what are you doing in the middle of the night......
After drinking the soup, he went to chat with Shen Xiaoman for a while, and returned to the guest room at almost seven o'clock, and set the alarm clock until half past one in the morning, and then fell asleep in bed.
I don't know why, before the alarm clock goes off, she woke up first, saw that the time was only half past twelve, got dressed and walked out.
There was still some light in the living room of the Lei family, and she walked out and took a turn, and found that the source of the light was a room at the end of the corridor, and she walked over curiously......
This should be a medical room, there are all kinds of real instruments in it, the lights are on, and Lei Zijia is sitting quietly inside, staring at a medical book in a daze.
"Ahem, it's so late, and you haven't slept yet?"
Xia Yanxin coughed lightly, Lei Zijia turned his head, his face was very tired, his eyes were bloodshot, his beard was not shaved, and the whole person looked very haggard...... He was in a very bad state, and Xia Yanxin suddenly understood why Shen Xiaoman entrusted his little daughter to her.
"No...... Xiaoman sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and needs to take medicine......"
"It's too hard for you to be alone, I think you'd better hire a caretaker and take turns to take care of her, you can't stand it alone. If you collapse, the house will be finished. ”
"I know, in fact, I have hired a nurse, watching her 24 hours a day, but I can't sleep......"
"Xiaoman's illness...... Is it really strict?"
Lei Zijia smiled bitterly, "Malignant tumors, even if they are good, there is no way to cure them, this is a problem that the world cannot overcome." Now I am temporarily controlling her condition, but I can only rely on drugs to control her condition, the second half of her life, she needs to be with Chinese medicine all day long, watching her drink medicine in pain, my heart hurts...... "A man with a dignified seven-foot body, what a difficult man, when it comes to his beloved wife's illness, he can't help but choke up in front of outsiders."
After a long silence, Xia Yanxin sighed, "If there is anything you need my help with, just ask." ”
"No need, after Xiaoman's illness, you don't dislike it, and you come to see her often, I'm already very grateful! Thank you!" Lei Zijia said.
