The streets in Layue are not cold, bustling with people and bicycles, Cars crowded together to fill the city: peasant countrymen followed in groups to buy New Year's goods, men in thick cotton jackets, but with their fronts wide open and sweaty, while the women who followed them were tirelessly coming out of this store and entering that store, tirelessly comparing which one was cheaper; the roadside vendors were shouting one after another, like polar bears that had met schools of fish upstream, were partying at their most fruitful season of the year; the vendors selling Spring Festival couplets and balloons had already appeared, indicating that there were only a few days left until the first day of the first lunar month。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The taxi we took stopped and stopped in the crowd, and I looked through the window at the street full of young people, feeling lonely because I didn't know where I should go this year.

It usually takes ten minutes to go, but it took a taxi half an hour to get us to the hospital. Contrary to the bustling year-end scene outside, the hospital is always white! Anyone who walks past you, whether it is a patient or a family member, has a gloomy face, as if they have no idea that the Spring Festival is coming. In winter, the internal medicine wards are always overwhelmed, and patients hospitalized with flu or pneumonia have crowded out of the wards, hanging drips in the corridors one by one. I don't know when infusion has become the main method of administration in hospitals, as if injections and medicines are not working.

I pulled Yangyang to follow behind Lu Tao, resisting the choking smell of disinfectant water, risking through the hundreds of millions of influenza germs that could not be seen by the naked eye, and finally saw my father-in-law lying inside at the door of a ward at the end of the corridor, also hanging a drip.

"Yo, who's here? I can't recognize it!" "The mother-in-law, who was sitting on the side of the hospital bed, said sourly when she saw Yang Yang walking in.

Most people think that when they see their grandson who they haven't seen for more than half a year, they will be unable to suppress their feelings of longing, and rush to the ground to pick up their grandson, so excited that they burst into tears. But here I want to explain that it was the reaction of someone like my mother who has poor emotional control, and my mother-in-law, who is super rational and tough, she is a person who does not want to show her feelings, and she is not willing to cry in front of people. She didn't take the initiative to come and hug his grandson, although I knew she wanted to hug, but she still wanted to check if this grandson was also missing her grandmother. The verification result was disappointing to her mother-in-law, and Yang Yang saw her as if she didn't know her, just like when she saw Lu Tao in the morning, and didn't make a little close.

"Alas, it seems that our grandparents and grandchildren don't know anyone anymore. My mother-in-law sighed, she never looked at me directly, I knew she was resenting me for not bringing Yangyang to see her often.

"Mom, my dad is not feeling well again, does he have a cold?" I took the initiative to greet my mother-in-law.

"What a cold, the old problem is committed again. My mother-in-law replied to me with a cold face.

In the mother-in-law's mouth, the father-in-law's old problem is high blood pressure. In fact, Lu Tao and I also took my father-in-law to the hospital to check his condition, and my father-in-law's symptoms of high blood pressure were only mild and not serious, but my mother-in-law had already regarded my father-in-law as a chronic patient who had lost his ability to take care of himself. If all the diet and daily life of the father-in-law are taken care of by the mother-in-law, it is better to say that she is in control, and she almost dominates everything of the father-in-law with the practice of doctors treating patients, including what time the father-in-law eats every day, what he eats, whether he can go out for a walk, etc., are all unilaterally decided by the mother-in-law, and rarely consider the opinions of the father-in-law. She thinks that her father-in-law has no ability to think, and he has no ability to take care of himself, although his father-in-law's thinking is normal and his actions are normal. In fact, the mother-in-law is about to replace the doctor: for example, the mother-in-law often goes to the pharmacy to buy medicine for her father-in-law without a doctor's prescription, and sometimes she listens to the recommendations of others, and some medicines are adopted by her advertisements; I don't know if this hospitalization is necessary for my father-in-law's illness or my mother-in-law's decision.

So it's hard for a tough mother-in-law like me to give me a smile. But out of etiquette and humanity, no matter what my relationship with Lu Tao and his family is, I should come to visit my sick father-in-law, after all, Lu Tao and I are still husband and wife, and I am still his daughter-in-law.

Sister-in-law Lu Fan and her daughter Yueyue are also there. Yang Yang saw his little sister Yueyue playing with a hydrogen balloon, and leaned over enviously, as for whether he remembered Yueyue or not, I don't know, anyway, children have never been strangers together.

"Yang Yang plays. Yang Yang looked at the young lady with a begging gaze and said.

"No!" Yueyue was still as arrogant as before.

"Sister!" Yang Yang called his sister sweetly, wanting to move his sister with this, but his little sister still didn't take him seriously and didn't let him touch the balloon at all.

"Yangyang is good, don't want my sister's balloons, my mother will go out and buy one for you in a while. I grabbed Yang Yang and said.

"Come, Yueyue, let my brother play with your balloons. Lu Tao began to feel sorry for his son, so he took the thread of the balloon directly from Yueyue's hand and handed it to Yangyang.

"Wow!-" Yueyue opened her mouth and cried after being snatched.

When I saw this scene, I quickly snatched the balloon from Yangyang's hand and returned it to Yueyue.

"Wow!-" Yang Yang cried!

The sister-in-law standing next to her did not participate from beginning to end, and the separation between her and me has not been removed.

"Ouch, go out and buy another one and come back, crying, annoying. "My mother-in-law was a little upset by the noise.

"Come on, Yangyang, come and play this. The father-in-law lying on the hospital bed handed Yangyang the fitness steel ball he often played with every day.

Yueyue was not convinced when she saw that Yang Yang had received preferential treatment, and walked over and snatched the fitness steel ball from Yang Yang's hand.

"Wow!-" Yangyang cried again, and I had to pick him up.

"If you want to cry, go out and cry, it's annoying!" Xiao Yueyue suddenly roared like an adult.

"You come and coax the little brother, and the little brother will stop crying. Lu Tao took Yueyue's little hand and tried to get Yueyue's cooperation.

"I don't want to coax him, I don't like boys, the boys in our kindergarten are all badas!" Yueyue said with a pout.

I suddenly found that Yueyue spoke very clearly, unlike Yangyang, and now she always calls "grandma" as "upside down", it seems that girls are stronger than boys in terms of language.

"I can memorize Tang poems, will he? I can speak English, will he be able to? If he can recite a Tang poem, if he can speak a word of English, I will give him a balloon. Xiao Yueyue showed a very confident look, and she didn't take Yang Yang in her eyes at all.

"Yangyang, my sister can memorize Tang poems, will you?" Lu Tao asked his son.

"He won't, I haven't taught. I took it.

"Why don't you teach him?" Lu Tao asked me strangely. Because today's parents start cultural and artistic education for their children from the fetal stage, there are very few people like me who don't put their children's learning first.

"At such a young age, I know poetry, and it's not too late to wait until I get to the first grade of primary school to learn. I said.

"You are always too stubborn, too different from others, if you don't let your children study hard, how can you have a future in the future?"

She hadn't disciplined me for a long time, and probably had a lot of words in her stomach, so it seemed that I had to go, or the air here would explode.

Lu Tao also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and under the pretext that he was going back to make noodles for his father, he took me and Yangyang out of the ward.

"Don't worry about it, my dad is sick and my mom is in a bad mood. As he walked out, Lu Tao explained to me.

"Your mother is not in a bad mood because your father is sick, but because she sees that I am in a bad mood. I said.

"It's not what you think, you're always suspicious and don't trust anyone. Lu Tao was not satisfied with what I said.

I was about to refute further when I suddenly saw a familiar face coming over from the other side - Liu Jia!

"Liu Jia, what are you doing? Who are you going to see? It can't be that you are sick, right? What about the child? What about Wu Tian? Is your mother well?" As soon as I saw Liu Jia, I couldn't stop asking, not only because I hadn't seen Liu Jia for a long time, but also because I hadn't heard any information from her whole family recently, including Wu Tian.

Liu Jia didn't answer my question, but cried when she saw me, crying so much that she burst into tears, and her reaction surprised me a little. Is it because I haven't seen my good friend for a long time, and I was moved to cry when we met today? Or did I misunderstand me and cry sadly? I don't know.

"Liu Jia, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for so long because my foot was broken some time ago, and it's not casual to walk now, and my foot and neck still hurt a little. I hastened to explain, for fear that she would misunderstand me.

But Liu Jia still didn't stop crying.

"Is your mother hospitalized?" Liu Jia kept crying, and I began to think that she might indeed be sad, and all I could think of was her mother's illness.

"Wu Tian......" Liu Jia just said two words, and choked up again.

"What's wrong with Wu Tian?" I asked.

"It's a car accident!" I was stunned when Liu Jia finally told the reason.

"Is it serious?" I asked hurriedly.

Liu Jia didn't say anything more, but made a gesture to lead the way, motioning for us to go with her. When I led Lu Tao with Yang Yang in my arms and followed Liu Jia to a ward with an ICU logo, I saw through the glass window of the ward a person lying in the ward with tubes all over his body.

"He was rear-ended while driving, and because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the time, he was thrown out of the window and hit a tree on the side of the road, and he hasn't spoken a word since I saw him, he hasn't been conscious, and now he's just on a ventilator to keep his heart beating. ”

Listening to Liu Jia's grief, I really don't know what to say.

"Shall we go in and see him?"

"The doctor won't let you in. Liu Jia said.

Next, I stuffed 200 yuan into Liu Jia's hand and left the hospital in a hurry, because if I didn't leave, I would cry.

On the way back, Lu Tao kept talking to me and stopped, until he sent me and Yangyang home, and he said: "You really care about Wu Tian." ”

"At this time, you still say cool things, don't you have any sympathy?" I was very dissatisfied with Lu Tao's words.

"I sympathize, but you go beyond sympathy. He said.

"Go away!I don't want to talk to people like you!" I couldn't help myself and yelled at Lu Tao.

"Okay, since you don't want to talk to me, I'll just go, I know that the person you really want to talk to is Wu Tian!" Lu Tao stood up and walked out.

"Get out!" I shouted at his back like crazy! )
