Because of the unhappiness with her mother, Zhao Xiaocui has been thinking about this in her heart, and she didn't dare to call her mother rashly, for fear that her mother would hang up the phone directly like last night, and after hesitation, Zhao Xiaocui planned to send a text message first to see the reaction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mom, I got a little carried away last night, made you unhappy and now you're angry? I'm sorry~~" After writing it, Zhao Xiaocui read it several times and didn't feel like it was a relieving content, which seemed to be more of a bit of a fire, if it was as my father said, my mother reached menopause, then it is estimated that I would definitely feel uncomfortable when I saw such content, so Zhao Xiaocui deleted the content and re-edited it: "Mom, what will this do?" Last night I didn't make amends to my mother, so don't worry about a little woman like me. She read this message back and forth several times before Zhao Xiaocui pressed the send button, she was looking forward to her mother's reply, but she waited for a long time and didn't see any movement on her phone, and a trace of bad thoughts suddenly welled up in her heart, she quickly shook her head, stopped her inexplicable and absurd thoughts, took a few deep breaths, and let herself calm down first to see what movement would happen later.

When it was almost noon, the mobile phone rang, Zhao Xiaocui immediately grabbed it and saw that her mother had replied to the message, but there were only two words: "Okay." "'It's not like my mother's style, why are you so cold, like I'm not her daughter.'" Zhao Xiaocui guessed suspiciously that she was really getting more and more uneasy in her heart, or decided to call her mother, she immediately walked to a conference room, closed the door and dialed her mother's phone, and it rang several times before she picked it up, but it was her father's voice: "Hey, Xiaocui, your mother is cleaning up the dishes, I'll pick it up for her first." ”

"Well, aren't you going to work today?"

"Well, we've been scheduled to take annual leave this week."

"Oh, how's my mom doing?"

"It's good, but sometimes I forget things and get upset."

"Isn't your life difficult?"

"I don't have anything, women are like this at this age, and the endures are over. You don't have to worry about doing your job, just don't worry about me and your mother. ”

"Well, I see, how's my mom packing up? I'll say a few words to her. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look" Dad asked Mom's voice on the other end of the phone, 'Daughter wants to talk to you, do you say no?' Mom replied, 'What is there to say?' and heard Dad say, 'Say a few words, call from afar, it's not yet lunch.' After a moment of silence, my mother's voice finally came from the other end of the phone: "Say, what do you want to say?" When Zhao Xiaocui heard this, a fire inexplicably rose in her heart, but she exhaled with her nose to suppress the fire, and then said with a smile: "There is nothing special, I just want to ask you how you are doing today?" Don't be angry with me again. ”

"I'm doing well, I'm not angry, why do you call when you don't go to work during work hours?" Mom's tone was full of gunpowder.

"I'm just a little worried about you, so I'm calling and asking, I'm good enough for me to work with peace of mind."

"Well, I know, I'm fine, don't worry, hurry up and work hard." Mom's tone softened a lot.

"Okay, I see, take care, I'll call you another day."

"Okay" mother hung up the phone after saying this, Zhao Xiaocui also took the mobile phone out of the conference room, she was even more uneasy after the call, the reason for the uneasiness was that her mother had never treated herself so indifferently before, this time suddenly so indifferent made her really elusive and didn't know what was going on, she decided to call these days to try to see what was going on.

When I called back the next day, it turned out to be my aunt's call, and my aunt was also working in the field, why did she go home? But the aunt said that she also came back from vacation, and happened to be at home today, and my mother actually went to take a shower at this point in the morning. If yesterday my father said that my mother was reliable to clean up lunch, then my aunt's statement was too weird, Zhao Xiaocui knew that her mother would never take a bath in the morning, and they had lived together for 17 years, and this habit would not be changed, which made her even more suspicious, but at the same time, it also showed a problem, if there was really something to hide from her, she couldn't ask a reason even if she made 100 calls a day now, so she decided to go home, and that's the way it is, once you decide, there is no need to procrastinate, Zhao Xiaocui immediately sorted out the work and made arrangements, and then went to ask Song Jie for leave, because she didn't know what the situation was, so she took two days off first, counting last weekend, a total of four days was enough.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xiaocui had arrived at Xianyang Airport, she took the airport bus back to the city, and sighed: "Now the transportation is really convenient, and she is still in Beijing in the afternoon, and she has already arrived in Xi'an in the evening." When she arrived at her own community, she stepped up her pace and walked in the direction of her home, and when she went downstairs, she looked up and saw that the lights in her house were off, Zhao Xiaocui took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, '22:05', this should be at home, she immediately took the elevator upstairs and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened, she immediately knew that the uneasiness in her heart was really what happened. Then she knocked on the door of the neighbor's house, and the other party was shocked when she saw that it was her, and then said that their family members were in the hospital, and then asked what the matter was, and the neighbor just shook his head and said that he didn't know. Zhao Xiaocui went crazy and stopped a taxi and drove towards Jiaotong University Hospital, she prayed all the way to urge the driver to hurry up, and when she got out of the car, the driver teased her, "Your baby pays the price of a car and enjoys the treatment of an airplane." Zhao Xiaocui rushed to the hospital without taking care of it, she asked the nurse on duty floor by floor, and finally found her mother's name in the cardiovascular department, when she walked into the ward, her mother was lying alone, her father and aunt were sitting on the bed next to her, the three of them were silent, and when she looked up, Zhao Xiaocui was startled at first, and then immediately pulled her to the corridor and said to her quietly: "Don't say anything now, your mother suddenly became dizzy a few days ago, and didn't care, who knew that she fainted in the kitchen and said that she had coronary heart disease, and now she needs to recuperate, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be blind and worried. ”

"Well, I understand, Dad, don't worry, I'll go in and see Mom." Zhao Xiaocui looked at her mother who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and asleep, and suddenly felt sad, she sniffed her nose and squeezed her eyes to force back the tears and nose that were about to come out, when she held her mother's hand, she felt for the first time that her mother's hand was so soft as if there were no bones at all, although the skin on her hand was still smooth, but the elasticity of the texture was far less than that she held when she was a child, and then looked at her mother's face, the forehead was also branded with wrinkles, one by one, although the skin was smooth, it was also obviously relaxed, Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she felt inexplicably sad, "Mom is really old," Zhao Xiaocui sighed from the bottom of her heart.

The aunt came over and patted Zhao Xiaocui's shoulder gently and said, "Let's go, let's go home and rest, your father will accompany the bed tonight, you can also rest well, and we will come over early tomorrow morning." ”

"yes, okay." Zhao Xiaocui followed behind her aunt, and her father followed behind them and sent them to the elevator before turning around and going back to the ward, Zhao Xiaocui looked at her father's back and remembered her mother on the hospital bed, she had mixed feelings in her heart, Chen leaned her head on her aunt's shoulder, closed her eyes, and remembered what her parents looked like when they were young, "Auntie, do you know, I have always felt that my parents are still very young, just like when they were 38 or 40 years old, and today for the first time, I feel that they really seem to be old." ”

"Alas, yes, I looked at your mother on the hospital bed and sighed that our generation is aging so fast, and it will become like this in the blink of an eye."

"Thank you for coming back to take care of my mom this time." Zhao Xiaocui shook her aunt's hand.

"This is as it should be, don't care, let's get a good night's sleep tonight and come over early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaocui took her aunt's arm and supported the backpack on her shoulder and walked out of the hospital gate together, her figure was soon shrouded in the night and became blurred, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Zhao Xiaocui.
