1. Chapter I
Seeing that the day of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, the old lady of the Qiao family has been hanging in the hospital for more than a month and does not know if she can step on this hurdle, if she survives the thirty, she should be happy and mourned, but if the day is not in time, it will not be easy to deal with the year before.
Not only is it taboo for others, but even the Qiao family itself is taboo, the Qiao family has been doing things in the court since the No. 1 of Aixin Jueluo, and the feng shui set is more or less a few points eaten, and if the old man in the family is gone in the first few days before the year, there is a saying that it is broken, and the family will have to suffer mildew in the career for the next few years.
"Eldest sister, you see that our mother is really difficult to do, the director said that it would be good if he didn't fall a while ago, this fall has forced blood pressure up, plus hemicerebral thrombosis, gallbladder inflammation, kidney failure, alas......" Qiao Laosan is the old lady's favorite daughter, although she has been married for more than 30 years, she is now worried.
The three sisters of the Qiao family were transferred by Mrs. Qiao when they were girls. Teach all the top-notch, it is a famous lady with a red sprout, the husbands of the three golden flowers are all well-known figures in the business and political circles, although Qiao Laosan's husband is about to retire, but after all, there are still so many years not, plus the wind has been so tight in recent years, who has not restrained his eyes.
Sister Qiao is sixty-two years old this year, and she has never experienced a few times in her life, and she also plays a little drum in her heart: "When will the little brother be sent back?" At this time, the mother must want to have her son by her side. ”
Third Sister Qiao shook her head and sighed: "You don't know his temper, where is it so easy to ask for a transfer when you keep up with the head bar?" ”
Sister Qiao was so angry that her teeth giggled a few times: "When is it, this is the mother who was raised and raised is sick, and when do you want to be filial if you don't stay in front of the bed at this time?" He doesn't say I'll say it, there's no! Their family's surname Qiao is good, Lao Tzu is poor outside and doesn't come back, and his daughter-in-law doesn't come back for three years after being stationed in Singapore, is she really short of people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? The grandson is even more promising, he has stayed in the United States for seven or eight years and has not seen a few phone calls back, leaving a 'half-red, half-green and half-hanging' granddaughter in front of the old lady!? ”
Third Sister Qiao hurriedly pressed Sister Qiao, pulled her to her side, made her eyes, lowered her voice and pointed nervously to the ward: "This person is still inside, eldest sister, you are too angry, don't mess around, that child is filial, and it is also thanks to her to coax our mother to be comfortable, or the old lady can lie on the hospital bed for more than a month and honestly not say anything?" I have already scolded us one by one. ”
Sister Qiao was persuaded not to speak, and she chuckled in her heart, she heard it when she was so loud just now.
I only heard the old lady Qiao cough a few times, and scolded in a loud voice: "Boss, you are angry with me when you see that I can't move!" Yuan Lu is the granddaughter of my old Qiao family, this matter is clear! Qiao Zhengqi, that little thing with no conscience, my old lady has been lying for more than a month, how many phone calls has he made? Yes!? If he wasn't named Joe, would I have recognized him? Even if I'm dead, it's not uncommon for him to come to my grave and call me grandma! ”
Sister Qiao and Third Sister Qiao were startled, the old lady was full of anger and a loud voice when she suddenly made a big call, how could she not even move her mouth to drink when she was wilting before, this is what she said when she was so angry that she couldn't do it!
Sister Qiao hurriedly went to the ward, pounced on the old lady's bedside and confessed her mistake: "Mom, you heard it wrong, where do I dare to be angry with your old man, you dissipate your anger, in two days, we will transfer the fourth child back and let him give you filial piety, you must not be angry, this blood pressure must be controlled from time to time, Lulu poured a glass of warm water for your grandmother, and let your grandmother take the medicine to lower blood pressure." ”
Yuan Lu took the opportunity to withdraw from the ward, and still unconsciously went through the "half-red, half-green and half-hanging" just now in his mind. Yes, she didn't have the surname Qiao in the first place, what is there to care about, whether people are willing to treat her as their own is someone else's business.
"Miss Yuan, why did you come out?" The nurse who accompanied her saw her come out of the ward and greeted her.
"My grandma's blood pressure is going to be high again, so I'm calling you to go in and see if you should take some medicine to lower it."
The nurse looked flattered, and said with a smile: "Next time, you can just press the call bell at the head of the bed, the nurses in one of our departments are guarding the old lady, and you don't need to call it in person." ”
Yuan Lu said "oh", made way for the nurse and leaned against the door, listening to the nurse's amiable voice inside to take the old lady's blood pressure A little relieved, and walked to the window on the side of the aisle.
It is said that this year is a warm winter, and it has not snowed until the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the streets were full of exposed feet and necks two days ago, and the cold air came down yesterday and finally drifted white today. Yuan Lu is not afraid of the cold, frost resistance is max+ in the eyes of classmates, and today she is still wearing a thin layer of cashmere sweater below zero, and the nanny stuffed her with a tweed coat before going out and threw it back by her. Now standing at the window, the window was not closed tightly, and the cold wind that penetrated through the crack made her sneeze several times in a row.
After sneezing, his head buzzed, and before he could react, there was a quarrel at the nurse's station.
Yuan Lu followed the sound and walked over, and the seven or eight little nurses at the nurse station gathered around and chattered in the dominatrix battle. The little nurses usually laugh at people, and the good hands of all the welcomers actually started to fight today, which is unusual.
"I'm sorry this gentleman, we are VVIP here, if you want to visit, you have to make an appointment in advance, can you see if you are on the wrong floor?"
"You really can't go in, this gentleman!"
Outside, Yuan Lu frowned, if the two aunts inside heard this group of people arguing in the old lady's building, they didn't know what would happen.
The head nurse saw her coming, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly at her, Yuan Lu looked at her eyes for only a few seconds, and the head nurse was about to chase after her.
Yuan Lu's principle that she doesn't care about idle things is untouchable, based on the fact that too many people love to inquire about her nosy and take care of her nossy affairs, she is the most disgusted to mix in idle things, and turned around and left when she saw this.
"Miss Hara!"
"Primordial Heron?"
The two voices sounded one after the other, and the tip of Yuan Lu's shoes paused, strange, this doctor still knew her.
Yuan Lu turned around, and what he bumped into head-on was the head nurse's firewood face, which was instantly dusty, and there was no flattering face just now.
The head nurse laughed dryly, pointed to the nurse station behind him, and asked tentatively, "Miss Yuan, is that person outside your friend?" ”
Yuan Lu raised her eyebrows, glanced behind the head nurse, and saw no one, seven or eight little nurses tightly blocked people outside the door, and didn't even let in a single shadow of clothes.
"Get out of the way and I'll see."
When the little nurses heard this, they immediately dispersed like fish.
The person at the door showed half of his head, and as soon as Yuan Lu's eyes touched this half of his face, his heart suddenly burst out, but she couldn't remember who it was, and she was scared in her heart for that familiar and unfamiliar feeling.
"I heard that Grandma Qiao also lives here, and I knew it was you as soon as they called Miss Yuan." The young man wore a Zegna black tweed leather lapel jacket and a felt hat that lowered his eyebrows, as if he was very familiar with the original heron.
"Are you ......?" Yuan Lu really didn't think of this person, so he didn't talk about the scene.
The young man took off his hat, revealing a smooth forehead, and his eyebrows and eyes were sparse, "I was the one who often played basketball with Lin Mu back then, have you forgotten?" We also skate together a lot, and I taught you to fall into a dog crawler, and then ......"
Yuan Lu was stunned when she heard the word "Lin Mu", and a name that she hadn't recalled for many years was mentioned again today, Yuan Lu's face gradually turned gray, and the word Lin Mu appeared in her middle school days, which also represented the past when she didn't want to be mentioned lightly.
Yuan Lu glanced at the young man expressionlessly, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't know any Lin Mu." ”
"Hey, I said, how can you do this, it's a shame that he was still doing that for you at the time, okay! You don't know him, but I know you! We are not only in the same school in junior high school, but also in high school, you didn't take the high school entrance examination that year, who doesn't know that year? Later, when you entered the provincial high school, I wondered, it turned out that you came to Qiao's house. ”
"Wu Jin, are you enough!?" Yuan Lu couldn't help but interrupt him, this boy's temper is really like a day for ten years, and when he sees who is on fire, he will stab people to the point before he stops.
"Heh, you know me now?" Wu Jin sneered: "I don't quarrel with you, I don't quarrel with a girl, my old man also lives in this hospital, let's talk about it later." ”
Hearing him say this, Yuan Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and he could be regarded as giving her face, after all, there are so many people here, and there are many tongues.
"Give me your phone." Wu Jin said to Yuan Lu while taking out his mobile phone.
Yuan Lu's face turned cold, and he refused directly: "I didn't bring it." ”
Wu Jin hooked the corners of his lips, as if smiling: "Yes, I don't need you if I really want to." ”
Yuan Lu glared at him angrily, "Take your mobile phone, I'll save it myself." ”
Wu Jin smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth, which was dazzling to see Yuan Lu, and Yuan Lu angrily stored his number in his mobile phone, but he didn't forget to reply a few words: "Where are porcelain teeth made?" Tate failed, like chewing gum on his teeth, only the white was not sewn. ”
Wu Jin didn't take the stubble when he got cheap, and asked again: "The number is right, right?" ”
Yuan Lu smashed the phone back to him: "Wrong, don't you have a way to get the right one?" ”
Wu Jin picked up the phone, gave her a thumbs up, picked her eyes, and her expression was almost fluttering, and he hugged her with one hand, put his lips to her ear, put his chin on her shoulder, and muttered, "Someone has been looking for you for a long time." ”
Yuan Lu's heart chuckled, and his whole heart was punched with a hard fist like cotton, and he could feel the impact but not the pain.
"What are you doing?"
The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor with a "ding", and a tall figure came out of it startled the two of them, and Yuan Lu and Wu Jin immediately bounced off as if they were electrocuted, and then looked at each other.
The eyes of the two asked each other: "Do you know this person?" "Who is this man?"
Yuan Lu faced this cold face, felt the cold air from the third party, and finally recognized who this person was from the angular eyebrows of the other party - Qiao Zhengqi, the "brother" she had never met in the six years since she came to Qiao's house.
