At 7:30 p.m., the family set off from home to the hospital, and Qiao Xiang drove.

Tong Shuyi sat in the co-pilot, Qiao Yue sat in the back row with her father and uncle, and Qiao Yue sat in the middle, two men who had drunk and drank all over her chatted with her, and the strong smell of wine hit her, and her face was about to smoke her to death.

"Mom, will you sit in the back when you get home?"

Qiao Yue was kind and talked to Tong Shuyi.

Tong Shuyi looked back at her and smiled, "Not good." ”

Qiao Yue: "......"

……

When the group arrived at the hospital ward, they didn't see the old lady.

I asked the nurse, and I learned that I went to the opposite inpatient building to see an old friend.

"Mrs. Sun also lives in this hospital." Tong Shuyi said.

Qiao Xiang turned to look at his mother, "Didn't you be discharged from the hospital before, why did you move in again?" ”

Tong Shuyi shook her head and sighed, "The old lady's bowel cancer was already at an advanced stage when it was detected, and the doctor said that it was only this month." ”

When Qiao Xiang heard this, his heart was extremely heavy.

Grandma Sun has always liked Qiao Xiang very much, even if she separated from Sun Simian later, every time she went to visit her, she always took Qiao Xiang's hand and said, "If you come to see grandma, grandma will be very happy, we are not blessed to marry you, but grandma is blessed to listen to you call me grandma." ”

Qiao Xiang's eyes were red, and he said to Tong Shuyi, "Mom, I'll bring my grandmother over in the past, and by the way, I'll also take a look at my grandmother." ”

Tong Shuyi nodded, "Go ahead." ”

……

Qiao Xiang had already cried once when he went from this inpatient building to that inpatient building.

Thinking that Grandma Sun will die soon, the sadness in my heart can't be stopped.

Sometimes looking at an old man, as if he has seen a long life, looking at Grandma Sun, Qiao Xiang will think of her and Sun Simian's young days, which is melancholy.

Qiao Xiang asked Grandma Sun's ward at the nurse's station, and in the corridor to the ward, he met Mrs. Sun who had just come out of it.

"Xiangxiang?"

Mrs. Sun was surprised that Qiao Xiang was here, Qiao Xiang had a smile on his face, and he had already covered up his previous sadness, "I came to see my grandmother with my family, and I knew that my grandmother was here with Grandma Sun, so I came to pick her up." ”

"The old lady wants to drink porridge, and I'm going out to buy it for her. Xiangxiang, since you're here, let's accompany her more, okay? ”

Mrs. Sun knew that Mrs. Sun liked Qiao Xiang and remembered Qiao Xiang, and Mrs. Sun was very happy when Qiao Xiang came over this time.

Qiao Xiang nodded and agreed, "I'll accompany her for a while before leaving." ”

"Thank you then, Xiangxiang."

"Auntie, don't be polite to me."

Mrs. Sun shook Qiao Xiang's hand, and then turned to leave.

As soon as Qiao Xiang pushed open the ward, a smell of potion mixed with a faint foul smell came to his nose.

Different from the ward of ordinary patients, cancer patients, due to the internal decay of the body, there will be a smell between the breaths, and Mr. Qiao also died of cancer before, so Qiao Xiang is no stranger to this kind of thing.

"Xiangxiang?"

Mrs. Tong was very surprised when she saw her granddaughter coming, "Why are you here, Xiangxiang?" ”

Qiao Xiang walked up, called Grandma first, and then bent down to look at the old lady Sun lying on the hospital bed, "Grandma Sun, I'm coming to see you." ”

The old woman Sun was plugged in with an oxygen tube, and her thin hand trembled and stretched out, Qiao Xiang understood and held her with both hands.

"Xiangxiang ......" Mrs. Sun moved her lips with difficulty and shouted Qiao Xiang's name.

The voice was very small, but I could hear that it took a lot of effort.

Qiao Xiang leaned very low, just to hear what she said, "Grandma Sun." ”

"Xiangxiang, Grandma Sun misses you very much...... Finally, I'm looking forward to you. ”

Qiao Xiang's eyes were moist again, and his eyes were red.

I only heard Grandma Sun angry, and squeezed out of her lips word by word, "Xiangxiang, my grandson...... Si Mian, it's him who is stupid, it's he who is sorry for you...... Grandma's greatest wish in this life...... It's just watching you and Simian get married...... Grandma knew that grandma couldn't wait, and she couldn't look forward to it. ”

"Grandma......" Qiao Xiang was already crying.

The old lady Qiao, who was sitting on the side, also burst into tears, took out a handkerchief from her clothes bag, and wiped it again and again from the corner of her eyes.

Mrs. Qiao and Grandma Sun are old friends who have known each other for a lifetime, and when the people around them reach their age, they are gone one by one, leaving the two of them to love each other, but now, even the only old friend is leaving, so how can she not feel uncomfortable, how can she accept it.

Grandma Sun knows that her life is not long in coming, she herself is very calm, people go in this world, they all have to go back, what is there to be afraid of.

She said slowly in Qiao Xiang's ear, "Xiangxiang, you have to persuade Si Mian...... Even if...... Even if Si Mian and you are exhausted...... That woman, too, must not be ...... She is not Si Mian's beloved, and Si Mian will not be happy if she combines with her. ”

Tears fell like this, Qiao Xiang inhaled and wiped away the tears.

She just stood there with her waist hooked in that position, holding Grandma Sun's hand tightly for a long, long time.

Grandma Sun kept talking, speaking slowly and a lot.

Qiao Xiang left too many tears, which was her reluctance to the old man.

Half an hour later, Qiao Xiang took his grandmother back to the opposite inpatient building. I wanted to stay here for a while, but my parents and uncle Yueyue were still waiting, and Qiao Xiang had to take my grandmother away.

Along the way, my grandmother was sighing that when people reached their age, they were counting the days and living their lives.

Grandma also said, Xiangxiang, if I leave, don't be so troublesome, burying me and your grandmother together is the best result, don't talk about pomp, don't cry, grandma has lived to be eighty years old, content.

My grandmother's hospitalization this time was caused by a small cold, and her resistance was poor, unlike before, she could get better by taking two pills, and she had to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days to get better.

No one expected that Mrs. Sun lived in the building of the oncology department of this hospital.

Before Qiao Xiang left, the last words that Mrs. Sun said to her, Qiao Xiang felt that they were her last words.

She said, Xiangxiang, you must look at Si Mian, you have to help me look at Si Mian, that kid is stupid, that woman will hurt him.

Si Mian is the meat of my heart, the meat of my heart, except for that woman, anyone can do it.

Mrs. Sun died in the early hours of the next day at the age of 82.

At that time, Qiao Xiang had already left the hospital and returned to Renhe's apartment, thinking that Grandma Sun couldn't sleep, but received a call from Tong Shuyi at three o'clock in the morning.

"Xiangxiang, Mrs. Sun has gone."

Qiao Xiang held the phone for a long time in silence, unconscious, and tears flowed down his cheeks on both sides.

She also doesn't remember how she hung up her mother's phone, her throat was already hurting, her face was full of tears, she got out of bed to find clothes to change into, and took a taxi to the hospital.

Many people came to the Sun family, and the ward was full of tears.

Sun Simian was already on the way to the troops, and Qiao Xiang talked to him on the phone and asked him to drive slowly.

Sun Simian was in a very bad mood, and when she learned that Grandma Sun had cancer last week, she asked for leave from the army and came back this weekend, but she still didn't have time to see her for the last time.

A man drives from one city to another late at night, with tears on his face, and it doesn't work for any man who doesn't flick his tears here.

Sun Siyao and several aunts kept crying intermittently, and after crying enough, they stopped for a while, and when they thought about it, they continued to cry.

When Sun Simian arrived in Huicheng, it was almost dawn.

The old lady's body had been packed into an ice coffin and transported to the funeral home, and everyone in the Sun family moved over.

Qiao Xiang has been guarding here for several hours, and if there is a place to help, she can help when she sees anything.

Although she is not from the Sun family, Grandma Sun talked to her so much before she died, which made her feel closer to Grandma Sun.

"I didn't expect that tonight would be the last time I see her."

Standing in front of the fence with Sun Simian drinking milk, looking at the rising sun in the distance, Qiao Xiang sighed slightly, "Simian, people are all impossible, and the people in front of you may be gone in the blink of an eye one day." ”

Sun Simian cried, got angry, and compassionate, but now he can see that the old lady has lived to be in her eighties, which is already an advanced age.

When you are alive, your children are filial and your family is harmonious, and you have not lived in vain, and if you have this disease, it is a kind of relief to leave.

Sun Simian took a sip of milk and turned his head to look at Qiao Xiang, "Did my grandmother say anything to you before she left?" ”

Qiao Xiang was silent, only looking at the milk jug in his hand.

Grandma said a lot of things, but Qiao Xiang felt that those words were not suitable for Sun Simian. She didn't know if Yu Suyan was suitable for Sun Simian, and she didn't know if Sun Simian would be happy with her, but they didn't have any problems now, and she shouldn't say something that hurt their feelings.

"Xiangxiang, I know, grandma must have said it."

Sun Simian knows her grandmother too well, it's like her grandmother is so sick that she may lose her breath at any time, but she must have kept such a breath to see someone very important in her heart.

And Sun Simian knew that that person was either him or Qiao Xiang.

So when she met Qiao Xiang, grandma would definitely talk to her a lot.

Qiao Xiang threw the milk jug into the trash can and looked into the distance, holding the rusty metal railing with both hands.

"Grandma said, Si Mian, is the meat of my heart, I regret that I didn't see Si Mian get married, and I didn't see Si Mian as a father."

"Grandma also said that when Si Mian got married, remember to give me three sticks of incense, remember to put joy candy in front of my grave, just as it is, I also participated in Si Mian's wedding."

Sun Simian wasn't really stupid, and smiled bitterly after listening to it, "You can just talk about it." ”

Qiao Xiang lowered his eyes, "Si Mian, grandma left, I am not better off than you, but I, like grandma, hope you are doing well." ”

She looked up and looked at Sun Simian.

There are too many rumors outside, Yu Suyan is a wolf, and he has opened a network of interpersonal relationships by relying on the Sun family, and he doesn't want to marry Sun Simian again, and wants to climb another high branch, in this way, Qiao Xiang has heard it more than once, every time he goes home, his mother will say, and friends in the same circle in the WeChat group will also say - Sun Simian is like being put on a green hat, and people all over the world look at him and laugh.

But Qiao Xiang knew that he didn't care about that.

"What the hell is wrong with you and her?" Qiao Xiang frowned and asked him in a low voice.

Sun Simian turned around, leaned his back against the fence, lowered his head and took out the cigarette case, and lit a cigarette for himself.

Tilting his head and slowly swallowing the clouds and exhaling the fog, Qiao Xiang looked at his side face, and he didn't see any emotion.

Sun Simian, who once had joys, sorrows, and sorrows on his face, when did he learn to hide so deeply?

He shook off the ashes of his cigarette, and after a long silence, he only replied to her, "Don't listen to those people's nonsense, I'm okay with her." ”

"Si Mian, I understand you." Qiao Xiang said.

"I know myself better than you do."

He frowned and looked back at Qiao Xiang, motioning for Qiao Xiang to stop the topic, "When did you become so fond of chasing after the wind and shadows?" Chewing the root of the tongue is something that middle-aged aunts love to do. ”
