Chapter 184: The Continuation of Life
This morning, I woke up from my sleep, and all night I had many strange dreams, waiting for the morning in a light sleep, the contents of the dreams I could not remember, and the only remaining memory was gone after waking up.
When I opened the door of the hotel, I unexpectedly found Grandma Xiaobao curled up in a chair, her head buried deeply, and her sparse gray hair was scattered and drooping.
I screamed softly, she trembled, and immediately woke up from her sleep, ignoring the drooping eyelids, and immediately lifted the thermos pot next to her and said: "I gave you scrambled eggs and fried rice, I was afraid that you wouldn't sleep enough, so I didn't dare to wake you up." ”
Looking at the thermos pot next to Grandma Xiaobao, I was a little distressed, and asked while opening it, "Grandma, where did you get rice and a place to cook?" ”
"Miss Su and I went to a nearby store in the morning to buy it, looking for the pot stove borrowed by the owner of this house, I don't know if it's good or not, you can eat it while it's hot."
Holding a very simple egg fried rice in his hand, there are more eggs and less rice, maybe in grandma's cognition, eggs are a good thing, so I put a lot of them. I sat down next to her, holding a spoon and eating spoonful by spoon, it tasted quite good, and this strong family affection that could not be dissolved was better than the delicious taste on the tip of my tongue.
……
After breakfast, we walked back to the hospital with a group of three, and at this moment there are less than two hours before Meng Meng's operation, the doctor told us that the operation is very risky, but the success rate is also quite high, PUBG, we have already taken everything as the best arrangement, the appearance of Xiaobao, has given us great encouragement, I hope Meng Meng can take this luck, completely defeat the disease.
Before the operation, in order to stabilize the emotions of Meng Meng and Xiaobao, the whole family went out together, and although Xiaobao is a younger brother, he showed a kind of manly spirit, we feel sorry to let such a young child participate in this operation, but there is no other way. After a few years, we will grow old and leave, and Mengmeng will be her longest-standing relative......
In front of the hospital bed, Mengmeng squirmed her lips again, and I immediately stepped forward, and she whispered in my ear: "Why didn't Sister Li Shi come?" ”
"She's so busy, that's why she missed Mengmeng's surgery, and when you get better, she'll come back, and she'll be happy to see you healthy."
"She'll come back to see me, right?"
"Yes."
"Brother is not allowed to deceive people."
"Sample, when did my brother lie to you?"
Seeing that I was so sure, Meng Meng blinked her eyes contentedly, and then continued to close her eyes and recuperate, and where did I get the confidence, even I couldn't figure it out.
……
The moment Meng Meng was pushed into the operating room, she smiled strongly at me, and then winked at me again, knowing that she was reminding me of the pact between me and her.
I stood in the corridor at the end of the operating room, looking at everyone as a spectator. The hospital has always been the place where life continues and ends most frequently, people here seem to see through life and death, but they can't accept it, everyone is struggling to live, and every patient who comes and goes, with the hope of life, runs in various clinics.
Oh, yes! It's good to be alive, and there are so many possibilities to be alive.
With full preparation, according to the plan, the whole operation of Meng Meng and Xiaobao took about two and a half hours, when the two children were smoothly pushed out of the operating room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, I sat down on the chair, as if the heaviest stone had been removed, and someone had fished it out of the deep well, and from then on there was only sunlight.
A few hours later, the two children were transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward, and Mengmeng was continued to be observed, and the hot bone marrow from Xiaobao will ignite the rest of her life, so that she, who is eager to go to school and play, like a normal person, will return to class and enjoy the flower season.
This afternoon, I stood on the rooftop of the hospital waiting for dusk to fall, and at this moment, I wanted to carry my guitar and sing a song at the Houhai bar, where I heard that Lin Ke often performed when he was in Beijing. Or, I can take a stroll around an unknown lake and let my back be reflected in the calm surface of the lake with the setting sun.
Dusk was coming, and Miss Xiao Su came here without contacting me in advance, holding a beer in her hand, as if she was here to relax, so that when we both saw each other, we were slightly surprised. She and I sat on a high chair, overlooking Beijing below the upper floors.
"What did you think about what I told you last night?"
"After this busy time, after actively preparing, I will take your advice and try it in the UK."
Miss Xiao Su put down the can in her hand, looked up at my gaze, and replied with a smile: "This is the state of love you should have, but you have to be mentally prepared, love is a thing, whoever takes the initiative is easy to be hurt." ”
"If someone has to get hurt, I'd rather be myself."
Miss Xiao Su raised her hand and wiped the remaining wine from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and said to me in a relaxed tone: "That's right, you think the same as me." ”
I smiled with her, didn't say anything more, and then threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, lay on the chair and looked at the sky, becoming a little lazy, but in this laziness I thought of Li Shi again, this has been more than half a month, I have no news of her, but I still look forward to it every day......
I didn't answer Miss Xiao Su directly, and said to her in a very serious tone: "I heard that you have done a lot of business in Lanzhou, I just took over a youth hostel, although I have been doing it for a few years, but it is really laborious to operate it myself, can you give me some advice?" ”
Miss Xiao Su shifted her gaze to look ahead, took another sip of beer, and said to me after a while: "I'm afraid I won't be able to give you any advice on this matter." ”
"Why?"
Miss Xiao Su's words were very light, but she implied a kind of instinctive rejection, and said: "Where is there so much why, I have worked hard in Lanzhou for many years, what qualifications do I have to teach you here." ”
I was speechless to refute her, just muttered in a voice I could hear: Failure has the experience of failure, so you don't need to reject people thousands of miles away! This temper is similar to Jiang Laiyue, thinking about it like this, she is really similar to Jiang Laiyue, so Jiang Laiyue's emotional outlook is obvious......
In the awkward topic, I unexpectedly received a call from Jingqi, who hoped that I could come to her residence and assist her in cooking some food by herself, so that she could have a simple meal with her parents, and the things she made by herself would be more decent.
I agreed with her idea, and after hanging up the phone, I expressed my idea of leaving very tactfully, and Miss Xiao Su was also free and easy, waved her hand directly to me, and then continued to look up at the rare clear sky in Beijing.
……
Transfer to the subway to arrive at Jingqi's rented house, she has basically cut the dishes, just wait for the pot to fry, in the kitchen, I put on an apron and was busy in the kitchen, after controlling the heat, I looked at the night outside the window a little distracted.
As soon as I thought of putting going to the UK on the agenda, my thoughts couldn't stop spreading, thinking of the conversation with Miss Xiao Su in the afternoon, I felt so scared, afraid of losing, afraid that after finding her, she felt that it was a stupid decision to follow me back to China, and after such repeated thinking and tossing, I really felt a little tired!
After cooking and packing the lunch box, Jing Qi and I were about to go out, but the door opened, and it was Shen Hao who pushed the door in, he looked at me and Jing Qi drunkenly, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Yo, there are guests at home?" ”
