Our laughter directly drew a roll of the eyes of the middle-aged man in the north. Although it was still early, we saw that the elderly grandmother (the middle-aged mother) on the bed in the north had already fallen asleep. Seeing this, both of us apologized at the same time, and then the entire ward fell silent again.

Now that I think about it, I finally know why this middle-aged man took the initiative to turn off the TV and sit aside to read the newspaper. It turned out that he was familiar with his mother's habits, and even when he was watching TV entertainment, he was thinking about his mother's rest time. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cast a look of admiration at him. Filial piety comes first, and people with filial piety generally admire me.

I don't know if the middle-aged man reading the newspaper understands the meaning in his eyes. But I knew that after he clearly felt my gaze, he immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but as long as you talk quietly, you won't disturb my mother's rest." ”

"It's us who should say sorry. Just now, we were so engaged in talking that we didn't see that this grandmother was already asleep. Fortunately, Grandma was not woken up by us, otherwise we would have felt guilty. Of course, I knew what the middle-aged man meant, but how could I accept his apology with peace of mind when I knew that I had misbehaved?

"Yes, we should be the ones who should say we're sorry." The lad apparently agreed with me as well.

Our words obviously made the middle-aged man feel good, so he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then we don't need to be polite." No one needs to apologize to anyone. Because it's a trifle, and I know you didn't mean to. I'm still saying this, you just need to be quieter in your chat. This is a ward, not a personal residence, and it would be overbearing for me to allow others to speak so early. ”

In fact, this middle-aged man's words are still very pertinent. The ward is a temporary public quarter, and it is reasonable to accommodate each other. If we don't care about others at all, and still talk and laugh loudly, then we lack the necessary sense of public morality. But if a middle-aged man only thinks about his mother and forces others not to speak, then as he himself said, he is undoubtedly overbearing. In this case, if they do not give in to each other, then there will inevitably be conflicts, and even quarrels. In the hospital, I encountered a similar situation, two patients in the same ward, because of the problem of opening and closing the window, the quarrel was so red and thick that the neck was thick, and even had the urge to fight. However, such a situation obviously does not happen to us.

"Actually, we don't have much to talk about!" I hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes! We've all only just known each other, so there's so much to talk about. The young man also continued very cooperatively.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more, just laughed. We smile the same way. In the silent smile, a special friendship has been faintly formed between the three men who have not been in contact for a long time.

After that, the entire ward fell silent again. It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to leave the ward, and then he never came in, probably finding an empty bed to sleep in the corridor outside.

The young man, like me, kept looking at his phone. We all have a more or less common problem of contemporary young people, that is, they don't like to go to bed early. But these days of worry and busyness have caused me to be extremely tired physically and mentally. After my father's surgery, the sudden relaxation made me feel an uncontrollable tiredness creeping in. So, that night, I was looking at my phone and fell asleep unconsciously like never before. I don't think I'll fall asleep past nine o'clock. It was almost the earliest sleep I've ever slept in a year.

The father did not have any special circumstances. The night was uneventful. That night, I felt like I had slept very deeply. Probably, the successful end of the surgery gave me infinite hope. Otherwise, I wouldn't have slept so soundly.

In the morning, after five o'clock, the twenty-first floor began to be noisy. Although I got up to urinate and continued to climb into bed, I was used to the quiet environment and could no longer sleep. So, it didn't take long for me to simply get out of bed. Grab a hot water bottle and flush it first. At that time, it was still early, and it should have been less than six o'clock. But walking on the promenade, I have already seen a lot of people.

Normally, it is one patient and one family member. The patient's features are very obvious, with a tube in his nose and a plastic bag hanging from his body. With the support of their families, these patients are moving with great difficulty. Different patients are different. Some of them are struggling, but they are finally moving around normally; But some of them seem to be faltering, and they have to sit down and rest from time to time; What's more, almost all family members on both sides are dragging forward with their armpits between their arms, and at the same time, there is a stool closely behind, and as long as the situation is not right, the stool will be immediately put down and the patient will sit down and rest.

Alas, no wonder I feel a little noisy! I sighed in my heart as I quickened my pace.

It wasn't far from the place where the water was flushed, so after a while, I was back in the ward again. At that time, the middle-aged man had already gotten up.

"Why don't you continue to sleep for a while?" I asked jokingly.

"In this place, you don't want to sleep after five o'clock. Slowly, you'll find out. "The middle-aged man looks very experienced.

"No wonder, at five o'clock, I feel very noisy." I should be reconciled.

"It's better for you to sleep in there. Like when I sleep in the hallway, after five o'clock, I will inevitably be woken up by the sound of clattering footsteps. These people go and go, and they talk and laugh from time to time, as if they are afraid that the sleeping person will not wake up. The middle-aged man complained dissatisfiedly.

I had a sudden realization, so I said, "No wonder you went to bed so early last night." ”

"Actually, it's not very quiet at night, but it's definitely much better than in the morning, and you get used to it later."

……

After washing, I continued to sit on the bed and read an e-book.

I don't know what time the guy in the south bed slept last night. He slept noticeably better than I did, and didn't get up until the alarm went off on his phone. The noise outside didn't seem to have any effect on him. This kind of ability still makes me admire. The young man got up at about half past six. Very quick to flush, brush your teeth, wash your face...... It is not difficult to see from his movements that he is a capable person.
