On duty at night, Ning Zhiyuan received a call from his brother Ning Qiushui. My mother's cerebral infarction was a little serious, and she began to hallucinate, saying that someone was coming to snatch Yu Yan for a while, and that the roof was about to collapse. Ning Qiushui said, I have also moved to a new house now, discuss it with you, and let the two old people live with me, okay. He thought for a while and said, Okay, I usually have less at home, and Yu Yan basically lives in Teacher Fang's house, and the second elder is more at ease by your side. Ning Qiushui said, Okay, I'll move over tomorrow afternoon.

Standing in front of the window, he turned his hands behind his back and silently looked into the distance. The hidden pain of career frustration is buried deep in my heart, and there is no hope for the breakdown of my marriage, and now my mother's condition is getting worse, but fortunately, I heard Fang Yi say that Yu Yan's grades are very good, and I am a little comforted in my heart. After standing, everyone seems to be carrying a heavy burden, like a young man carrying a bud stick down the mountain, and he can't miss a single step.

The next day, he rushed back to the county seat and came to Mr. Fang's house to visit his daughter who was doing her homework after school. Yu Yan asked with a smile, old man, what are you doing here? He smiled and said, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you. Yu Yan said twice, such a big person, it's really useless. He laughed, touched the child's head, and said to Fang Yi, let you bother. Fang Yi said softly, let's have a light meal and then leave. He shook his head and said, I still have to go to see Grandma Yuyan. Yu Yan asked next to her, old man, what's wrong with my grandma. He bowed his head and said to his daughter, it's okay, just move to Daddy's house today, and I'll take you to see Grandma on the weekend. Yu Yan replied crisply, good at it.

When he came to his brother's house, he saw that his mother had more age spots on her face, more gray hair on her head, and her body was also more rickety, and his heart was sour. The stepfather smoked a cigarette and said, your mother is not accurate to speak now, and the doctor said that the only way to control it is to take medicine, and if it is serious, add half a pill, and reduce it when it recovers. He nodded and said, "Please be careful." Then he took his mother's hand and asked softly, do you still recognize who I am? Zhiyuan's mother smiled, Zhiyuan. He smiled, he couldn't recognize people when the cerebral infarction was most serious, indicating that his mother's condition was fine now.

Ning Qiu came back from evening self-study, and was very happy to see his younger brother, and said to Ning Chong, who was snuggled in his father's arms, that Chong'er went downstairs to buy four bottles of beer and came back. Ning Chong said happily, then give me more money, I want to eat snacks. Ning Zhiyuan smiled and took out a hundred yuan and handed it to his nephew, saying, the rest will be given to you, and you have to settle the account correctly. Ning Chong said happily, thank you, Dad, I would have settled the account a long time ago. Chi Xiaoxia shouted loudly at the running back, don't buy spicy strips!

The two brothers drank wine with a plate of braised pig ears and a little peanuts, Ning Chong fed his grandmother while eating pine nuts, and Chi Xiaoxia wore a knitted sweater and whispered, Zhiyuan, think of a way for your brother, recently their school is going to evaluate junior high school and senior titles. He looked at his brother, took a sip of wine and asked, what's the matter? Ning Qiushui replied, Oh, your sister-in-law is just a lot of things, and she can't talk about it this year or next year.

Chi Xiaoxia took over the topic and said that the mortgage to buy this house has to pay back more than 2,000 per month, and Chong'er has a lot of expenses. Ning Zhiyuan knew that his brother and sister-in-law's salary was not high, and they could only basically maintain family expenses, so he said, sister-in-law, I give my mother 3,000 yuan per month for living expenses and daily medicine, and I will be responsible for all the expenses if I am hospitalized.

Ning Qiushui got angry and reprimanded, just talk a lot about you. Chi Xiaoxia's eyes turned red, and she was silent and didn't speak. Ning Zhiyuan said while chewing peanuts, it's settled, I am more relieved that the second elder is here with you, what do I have to pay some money. In addition, I will coordinate the matter of the job title, and wait for the news.

Saying goodbye and going home, Ning Qiushui sent it downstairs and asked in a low voice, third child, I heard from my colleague that you could have been promoted some time ago, but you were suddenly excluded, is there such a thing? He replied, there is impermanence in the system, don't worry about this, don't talk about your sister-in-law easily, you are under a lot of pressure, and it is not easy for her. Ning Qiushui sighed and said that she still had a lot of prejudices against Yu Yan's mother. He knew that his sister-in-law was distressed by Yu Yan, and was silent for a while, so he waved goodbye and said, everything will be fine, you go back. Ning Qiushui watched his younger brother's back slowly disappear into the night, and stood for a long time before slowly walking back. He loves his younger brother very much, he has no background, no family background, he has worked hard on his own to get to the present, I don't know how much hardship he has endured, how many difficulties he has encountered, just talking about family affairs, basically he is responsible for his parents' living expenses and medical expenses, and his brother-in-law has also arranged to work in Qingshan Beishui, and his wife has been transferred to work......

Back at home at the second elementary school, Ning Zhiyuan looked at the empty guest room and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Where the mother is, there is home. Even if you come home late, as long as your mother is at home, your heart is very stable. He packed up the sheets, quilt covers, and Yu Yan's clothes brought back from Teacher Fang's house, sat in the bathroom and began to wash.

It's almost Spring Festival again, and it's a new year. After drying the clothes, he rubbed his hands that were a little stiff, red and swollen from the cold, and the air was warm and warm. Yu Yan is about to take the exam, this is the first semester of studying in Yuezhou, I don't know how the exam is.

Late at night, I was lying on the bed reading a book, my mobile phone rang, I looked at Xue Yunshi's name beating on the screen, I hesitated for a while before picking it up, and asked calmly, Yunshi, is there something wrong? Xue Yunshi asked leisurely, can't you call if it's okay? He didn't answer, silent. She asked again, I heard my brother say a few days ago, you couldn't go on? He hummed, still not continuing. She comforted, it's okay, let's see the opportunity next time. Listening to him continue to hum, she said guiltily, I shouldn't have said something like that last time, don't you mind, okay, you are the proudest in my heart.

He felt a burst of grievances in his heart, and then changed the topic and said, I will send you Fang Yi's phone number, you communicate more with the teacher, Yu Yan is very sensible. Xue Yunshi sobbed and said in a trembling voice, I miss my son so much. He sighed and said slowly, Yunshi, find someone in Qiuchuan to live a good life. She burst into tears.

The next day, Ning Zhiyuan sat in the office in a state of despair, and after arranging a few things, he got up and closed the door, went into the bedroom and lay down in his clothes, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Last night, Xue Yunshi, who was in Qiu Chuan, was like him, sleepless all night.

While he was asleep, he was awakened by the knock on the door, lifted the quilt and remembered, and heard the footsteps outside walking away, hesitated for a moment, lay down again, and saw that there were no missed calls on the phone, so he pulled back the quilt and continued to look for Zhou Gong.

It wasn't until he got off work in the morning that he naturally opened his eyes, stretched his waist, got up and opened the door and walked to the corridor, and saw Wang Ying lying on the railing of the corridor and shouted, Wang Ying. Wang Ying immediately looked back, Geng Ji stood up straight and said, I came to look for you just now, you are not here. When he understood, he asked, "Is there something wrong?" Wang Ying's face turned red, and she twisted and said, I want to invite you to dinner in the evening. He said mildly, just say it, don't say half of it. Wang Ying said, my boyfriend came to Xinglong Town tonight, and everyone coaxed me to have a treat, so I wanted to invite you to participate.

When he heard this, he laughed, so he agreed, saying, this is a good thing, a long-distance relationship? Wang Ying's face turned even redder and said, netizens. He stood still and asked, "Is it reliable?" Wang Ying said, so please come and help me check it.

In the evening, in a restaurant in the town, Ning Zhiyuan saw Wang Ying's boyfriend, smiled like a flower on his face, stretched out his hand to hold it and said, Section Chief Xiao Fan! Xiao Fan shouted with a smile, old leader! Ning Zhiyuan turned his head to Wang Ying and said, Xiao Nizi, you are still dating online! Wang Ying replied mischievously, yes, I know him through the Internet. Xiao Fan scratched his head and said, yes.

Ning Zhiyuan sat at the table, and everyone sat around and began to laugh and laugh. Seeing that Xiao Hua couldn't withstand Li Xiangqian's besiegement, he proposed, everyone, don't be on the back, leave some strength for others, lest Wang Ying give you a face tomorrow. Everyone laughed, and Wang Ying's face was as red as a laying hen.

After eating, he refused to see everyone off, and walked along the can river by himself. Recently, he has become more and more fond of solitude, and his temperament has become more and more quiet, and he looks like he has no quarrel with the world. In this state, a disturbing thing suddenly came.
