It was a sleepless night, my family and I stayed in the ward, and even Pippi didn't leave, he still fantasized that the old man, who had run out of oil, would tell him the story of the old Red Army.

"Dad, I want to pee, let's go together, okay?"

"There is a bathroom in the room, can I go by myself?"

"I'm scared!"

"You're a tough guy."

"Grandpa is a tough guy, the old Red Army is also a tough guy, Pippi is not a tough guy!"

......

In the bathroom of the hospital room, Pippi and I stood together, and we had a conversation with the sound of urine.

"Dad, do you like Mommy?"

I didn't know if Pippi was talking about Chen Qingyi or Zuo Lan, so I said, "Pippi, be focused when peeing." ”

Pippi didn't accept my suggestion, and he asked, "Dad, can I meet with Chen's mother tomorrow?" ”

"Hmm."

"The last time you said you couldn't contact Chen's mother, I didn't contact her again."

"Oh."

"But Chen's mother and I got in touch, and we became good friends, and I would ask her if I couldn't write my homework."

"Won't Grandpa teach you?"

"Grandpa will murder me, but Chen's mother won't....... Chen's mother also said that if I get a lot of little red flowers, she will send me a full set of Iron Man! ”

I looked at Pippi, feeling a little bitter in my heart, I knew that he relied on Chen Qingyi a lot, but it was .......

"You've run out of pee." I reminded Pippi that I didn't want to continue to struggle with him on the topic of Chen Qingyi, and he didn't understand the helplessness of the adult world yet.

"Dad, I'll wait for you."

"Well, but you can't ask me any more questions and let Daddy concentrate on peeing, okay?"

.......

Late at night, when Pippi was asleep, my aunt drove her back with me, and after settling Pippi, we went back to the hospital.

On the way, my aunt asked me, "Yixi, what time will Qingyi arrive tomorrow?" ”

"In the afternoon, in the evening." I answered.

After a moment of silence, the little aunt sighed and said, "I know I shouldn't say it, but Pipsqueak is a poor child!" .......”

I interrupted: "I know he can't do without Chen Qingyi, but you tell me, what can I do?" Chen Qingyi is not his biological mother after all, and she can't take him to Ireland to live! ”

"Yixi, that's not what I meant....... I know that over the years, if you don't say it, you hate the little aunt in your heart, it is indeed my original paranoia, which indirectly killed Zuo Lan, I am really guilty, over the years, I have loved Pippi even more than Bei Bei (the daughter of the little aunt), but I can't replace Zuo Lan and Qingyi .......at all."

The little aunt cried: "I'm sorry for Zuo Lan, I'm sorry for Pippi ......."

"You don't have to mention these old things, and it's not entirely your responsibility." Although I can't let go of my heart, the woman in front of me is the little aunt who grew up with me after all.

The little aunt nodded and asked me very carefully: "Yixi, you see Qingyi came back from Ireland this time, can you ....... She still has you and Pipsqueak in her heart...... It is also your grandfather's last wish to live a good life together, otherwise he would not have been talking about waiting for Qingyi to come back. ”

"Don't mention it to me again, I really don't want to think about it!" I pressed my forehead with my hand, inexplicably irritable, the incompatibility of responsibility and love is the biggest pain in my life, I am afraid to face it again, I am really afraid!

......

I stayed in the hospital all night until dawn, and then I went home to rest for a while, but I soon woke up, and I knew that I could receive the bad news of my grandfather's death at any time in the past two days, and this fear kept me awake!

After I washed up, I took my clothes, ate something near my home, and immediately went to the hospital, I didn't plan to leave the hospital again for the past two days, I had to accompany my grandfather through the last part of the journey.

Throughout the morning, Grandpa didn't say a word, he could only feel his faint breathing, and the doctor had already made a judgment that he wouldn't survive for 2 days at most, maybe sooner.

Around the evening, Chen Qingyi finally arrived at the hospital, and after more than two months, we met again, and she still looked like her.

Chen Qingyi came to her grandfather's hospital bed, couldn't hide her sadness, choked up and shouted: "Grandpa, I'm Qingyi, I'm back to see you!" ”

Chen Qingyi's cry was not answered for a long time...... She grabbed her grandfather's hand and cried in a low voice, and the sadness infected everyone present, and they cried one after another.

Pippi hugged Chen Qingyi's leg and cried with her, shouting vaguely: "Mom...... Grandpa doesn't speak, he won't tell me the story of the old Red Army! ”

Chen Qingyi hugged Pippi, tears rolled in her eyes, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she was already in tears, at this time her emotions were complicated, and her emotions were sad.

The little aunt exclaimed: "Dad, he opened his eyes....."

Everyone's eyes left Chen Qingyi and shifted to his grandfather on the hospital bed, and he really opened his eyes.

"Dad, do you have anything to say?" The little aunt approached her grandfather and asked with her head down.

Grandpa's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word, just looked at Chen Qingyi, who was holding Pipi, and looked at me hard.

Everyone got out of the way, and standing at the front of the hospital bed were me, Chen Qingyi, and Pippi, who was being held.

Grandpa looked at it weakly, but he couldn't say a word, and Chen Qingyi and I were immersed in grief......

Suddenly, my hand and Chen Qingyi's hand were holding together, and it was Pippi who held our hands together......

Grandpa, who had been looking at us, closed his eyes and opened them slightly....... Closed again, breathing gradually stopped...... It was as if I saw a red candle flickering in the wind, and finally it was ruthlessly blown out...... He's gone, he's gone for the rest of his life!

On the 8th of December, at 5:26, the doctor announced that the grandfather was dead!

There was a lot of crying in the hospital room...... And the quietest one is me.

......

According to custom, this is a night of vigilance, and it is also a sleepless night, in the mourning hall, the family is guarding the spirit, and Chen Qingyi insists on refusing to leave.

It was late at night, and my father said to us, "Yixi, you and Qingyi should go back, Pippi is home alone, and we are all worried." ”

I said to Chen Qingyi: "You go back first, I'll keep it." ”

Chen Qingyi looked at me, worried about Pippi, and finally nodded.

When Chen Qingyi wanted to leave, the family insisted on letting me go with her, the wake lasted for three days, and someone always had to rest first, so that the second night could be changed, and in the end, I couldn't help it, so I left with Chen Qingyi first.

......

When I got home, Pippi had already slept, Chen Qingyi and I helped him cover the quilt, and when we returned to the living room, we each sat on a sofa, but it was an embarrassing and wordless relationship!

After a long silence, Chen Qingyi said to me: "Why didn't you tell me so many things that happened after we divorced?" ”

"I don't say you'll know."

"At least we used to be husband and wife, and we were best friends despite being husband and wife, and it was somewhat ironic to know this through the mouths of others...... And it was so difficult before Seaview Coffee went bankrupt, you should tell me that Lin Xi and I wouldn't be so anxious to cash out the shares! ”

"It's a good thing to cash in advance, but it's inevitable that Seaview Coffee will go bankrupt, and if you don't cash it, you won't get anything in the end." I whispered to Chen Qingyi, but this was a heartfelt sentence, at least it was fulfilled, ensuring that she and Lin Xi would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
