Chapter 070: The Old Harbor
Finally, the lights went out, the door to the emergency room opened, and out of it came several doctors in white coats. Everyone hurriedly surrounded them, and Wang Jin asked in a panic, "Doctor, how is my dad?" ”
"I was a little stimulated, but fortunately it was delivered in time, and now the patient has woken up." The doctor's reassuring tone comforted the anxious family.
Wang Jin thanked him repeatedly, and then looked at Wang Tai, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, with tubes in his hands, his eyes were red, and he hung his head reproachfully.
Wenxiu held Wang Jin's hand, as if she was silently telling her, and her parents would not blame her. Wang Jin was grateful and guilty, and together with Xia Xuerong, she accompanied the nurses to send Wang Tai to the inpatient department, and Liang Yicheng took the initiative to follow the doctor to go through the hospitalization procedures.
After waiting for the arrangements to be made, the nurse asked the patient not to be stimulated anymore and exited the ward. Wenxiu sat in front of the hospital bed, held Wang Tai's hand, and spoke to him softly. Wang Jin, Niu Niu, Liang Yicheng and Xia Xuerong sat on another empty bed in the ward, their expressions different.
In this way, after being silent for a long time, Wang Tai suddenly let out a long sigh. The sigh stretched through the room, piercing the heart.
"Dad, I'm sorry......" Wang Jin lowered his head with red eyes, not daring to look into his eyes.
As if thinking that she had done something wrong, Niuniu stood cautiously in front of her grandfather's bed, touched Wang Tai's hand with her little hand in fear, and whispered: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, Niuniu didn't mean it." ”
"Silly girl, grandpa doesn't blame you, it's an adult's business." Wang Tai raised his hand tremblingly and rubbed Niuniu's head.
For a moment, he looked at Wang Jin and let out another long sigh.
At this time, Liang Yicheng stepped forward and spoke very politely for Wang Jin, "Uncle, I can see that your family is a well-informed person. The reason why Xiao Jin didn't say it was because she didn't want to stimulate you. But I think that marriage is not bondage, not dependence, but respect. It is certainly wrong for Xiao Jin to divorce and hide it from you, but what the Xu family did to Xiao Jin is really excessive, and I hope that my uncle will not be angry with Xiao Jin again......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tai suddenly waved his hand and motioned to Liang Yicheng to stop talking. He closed his eyes weakly, then slowly opened them, and said to Wang Jin, "Xiao Jin, ...... you come here?"
"Hmm." Wang Jin answered, and sat at the head of Wang Tai's bed with a slight movement.
Wang Tai reached out to hold Wang Jin's hand, stared at her face carefully, and after a long time, he opened his lips and said softly: "Xiao Jin, Dad just saw that you have lost ...... weight."
Wang Tai's words pierced Wang Jin's heart like a thorn, and tears overflowed his eyes. She held Wang Tai's face back, put it on her cheek, shook her head desperately, and choked up: "Dad, I'm sorry, it's my daughter's mistake, I'm sorry." ”
"Silly girl." Wang Tai smiled weakly, his index finger slid over the tip of her nose, and he scraped it lovingly. He withdrew his hand and placed it flat on his chest, staring at the ceiling, as if reminiscing about the past, "Our era is different from yours. At that time, there were more patriarchal people, and everyone wanted sons. And my parents gave birth to two twins in their first child, both of which were boys.
The neighbors are envious of their parents, but they don't know that what parents want most is their daughter. At that time, there were two children in one child, and how difficult it was to have another one?
The fine for overbirth, the loss of the civil service job, this difficult situation is in front of us, we have not flinched, and finally after a lot of hardships, your mother is also pregnant. At that time, the gender of the ultrasound check was not as strict as it is now, and we easily found the girl, so we searched for all the relationships, and finally gave birth to you.
Although, in terms of intelligence, you are not as good as Hao'er and Zhongxiao, but your parents just can't help but don't hurt you. Hao'er and Zhongxiao too, when they saw you for the first time, their parents still can't forget the look they liked. So in our family, you're a baby bump.
However, pet to pet, parents have always taught you to be an adult, to be strong and independent. No matter when you choose which path, once you choose, there is no room for regret, even if you are tired and tired, you must grit your teeth and persevere. ”
"Dad, it's not good, it's that I didn't stick to it." Wang Jin couldn't cry guiltily.
Wang Tai waved his hand again, interrupted Wang Jin's words, and said, "That's the case, but knowing that the road is full of thorns, how can parents bear to let their barefoot daughter step on it?" How can you bear to watch you fall on the way, rolling all over your body? Dad understands you and understands you, if it weren't for the fact that you couldn't get by, you wouldn't have taken this step. So silly girl, Dad doesn't blame you, and he won't blame you for the rest of his life. ”
Listening to Wang Tai's words, Wang Jin lay on Wang Tai's chest and cried silently.
She was wrong, really wrong.
I shouldn't have given up my parents who hurt me to the bone, married thousands of miles away, and looked for that unrealistic dream.
Wang Tai's hand gently touched Wang Jin's long hair, and the old voice carried a deep reproach, "It's just a girl, why haven't you told your parents anything all these years?" ”
Wang Jin cried heartbroken, "Dad, my daughter is really wrong, really wrong......"
"Okay, the girl won't cry, Dad really doesn't blame you. Now that you're divorced, don't leave when you come back this time, anyway, the house at home is enough to live in. When Dad gets out of the hospital, he will take back the old house rented out by the family, and then buy you a new house, and you will stay with Niuniu. Dad can protect you and Niu Niu like he did when he was a child. ”
"Hmm." Tears dripped and fell, like beads of broken thread. Wang Jin wiped his tears with his hand, held Wang Tai's hand, and felt the hands that had resisted too much wind and rain for himself since he was a child.
Although these hands are now old, they are still her harbor.
Suddenly found that when I was young, my heart was higher than the sky, but I don't know when I became so weak.
From beginning to end, Liang Yicheng was silently looking at Wang Jin who was in tears, and his loving eyes became more and more obvious and deep.
"Xiao Jin, this is ......" Suddenly, Wang Tai's gaze skipped over Wang Jin and fell on the strange man who had been silent, his eyes showing doubts, "Xiao Gao?" "I still remember that during the meal, Niuniu said 'Uncle Gao is chasing her mother'.
Finally calming his heart was hurt by the word 'Xiao Gao', Wang Jin looked back at Liang Yicheng, frowned at the sourness that swelled up in his heart, and then gently shook his head and denied, "No, parents, this is Liang Yicheng, my friend." ”
"Hello uncle and aunt, just call me Yicheng." The arc of Liang Yicheng's mouth rose, and he greeted politely. Wang Tai and Wen Xiu glanced at each other and said hello to Liang Yicheng.
Wen Xiu glanced at the time, got up and thanked him apologetically, "Xiao Liang, thank you so much tonight." It's so late, and you're still hungry here. I'll get you something to eat. ”
"No need, aunt." Liang Yicheng hurriedly replied, "I'm not hungry, I'm really not hungry, you two elders are busy until now, hurry up and rest." ”
"Wenxiu, how can you not use it? It's ten o'clock! ”
"Mom, I'll go." Wang Jin pressed Wenxiu to sit on the stool, and his eyes swept over Wang Tai, Xia Xuerong, and Niuniu, "Everyone didn't eat well before, I'll go and prepare more, let's eat some together." ”
With that, he walked out of the ward with his bag in his hand. Liang Yicheng politely greeted the people in the ward, "It's so late, it may not be safe outside, I'll go with Xiao Jin." After speaking, he also followed Wang Jin away.
Late at night, the streets of the city are still brightly lit, and the dim street lamps sprinkle on the body, stretching the backs of pedestrians.
Wang Jin, who was standing alone under the hospital building, raised his eyes to look at the city where he had been born and raised for more than 20 years, and his heart was filled with melancholy.
Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned her head, looked at Liang Yicheng, who was gradually approaching her, and smiled: "Thank you really today." ”
"What are you doing with me so politely?" Liang Yicheng also smiled slightly, and looked around, "Jiangnan, it's really a good place." Where are we going to buy food?"
Wang Jin pointed over and led the way in front, "This street passes through, it is a downtown area, I remember that the things over there are not bad, and they are clean, but I don't know if it has been demolished, let's go there and have a look." ”
Liang Yicheng naturally followed behind her, with silent companionship, staying by her side, his eyes swept over her side face from time to time, and then the temperature emanating in the blink of an eye.
"By the way, why are you here?" As he walked, Wang Jin suddenly stopped to look at him. However, as soon as he looked up, he met his tender eyes. The look was too clear for her to ignore, and after a short haste, she pursed her lips and smiled, responding to his unobstructed glance with her own breeze.
"Catch you." Liang Yicheng replied as a matter of course, "Don't forget it, I gave you all the responsibility to host the 20th anniversary celebration of Guodong, and you left without saying a word, what should I do about the 20th anniversary of Guodong?" ”
"I'm really sorry, but you can see the current situation in my family." Wang Jin turned around and continued to walk towards the downtown area, explaining, "But although I came back, I didn't forget about you, so I entrusted all the things to the celebration company, and I believe in their ability." ”
"I don't believe it." He blurted out without thinking, blocking all of Wang Jin's words. He looked at Wang Jin's slightly frowning brows, and said preemptively, "I will hand over such an important celebration to you because of your ability, and I also know that you can't leave in the current situation, but I can wait." ”
"......" Wang Jin was speechless, and after a moment, she asked, "Isn't it a few days before the 20th anniversary of Guodong?" You're the dignified executive director of Guodong, if you don't go back to find your lover again, what are you doing waiting for a rabbit in my place? ”
"You also know that I am the director, so I am only responsible for the 'supervision' part, and the things that are done will be handed over to others to do, of course, whether I can be satisfied depends on the ability of those people to do things. All I have to do now is guard your 'rabbit'. As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and tapped the top of her head, as if there were a pair of 'rabbit ears' there.
Wang Jin was helpless, and he was not in the mood to care about him, so he stopped at a restaurant in the downtown area and rushed in happily, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone home for so long, this store was still there, and he picked up the menu and ordered by himself.
After making the bag, she walked back with her food, Liang Yicheng was still walking on her side, and the distance between the two was just right, not ambiguous, not alienated.
On the way back, Liang Yicheng looked at Wang Jin, who had been silent, and spoke again to break the silence between the two: "Why didn't Gao Ming accompany you back this time?" ”
