74. If you die, go home
Shi Youtian slept a little too much today, came back from the hospital and slept again, and slept again after eating at noon, he woke up and felt that his sleep hurt, he wanted to get up and walk, next to him, his wife Sun Xiufang was still sleeping soundly next to him, these days, day and night, thanks to the old woman to take care of.
Shi Youtian sat up slowly, lowered his eyes, and his gaze wandered over and over Sun Xiufang's face, I am afraid that he will not be able to see it for long in the future.
Although he came here to see a doctor, he was prepared, his illness probably won't get better, and he just came here to give himself hope.
The old woman has been married to him since she was 17 years old, these years of ups and downs, most of the time are suffering and suffering, the girl who was like an onion back then, unconsciously became an old lady, counting on her fingers, the old woman followed him as if she had not enjoyed a day's happiness, the first half of her life, the two were busy giving birth to children and raising children, and in the second half of their lives, they were busy worrying about children, saving money, building a house, marrying a daughter-in-law, six children, thanks to Dayong's help, otherwise the family would not know what to do.
Shi Youtian slowly moved off the bed, leaned against the wall, and slowly walked to the window, he wanted to breathe and look at the scenery outside.
In just a few meters of walking, Shi Youtian moved for a long time, although he can still eat now, but he eats very little, and basically all liquid food, the nutrition brought by food can not support the operation of his body, he is very thin now, the whole dove-shaped hoof, the cardigan shirt is hanging on the skeleton like that, he feels that his legs weigh a thousand pounds, and he trembles his legs and stomach and finally stands in front of the window.
He propped his hand on the windowsill, his eyes looked out of the window, the scenery outside was not much different from the city of his hometown, there were many houses lined up on both sides of a main road, and there were no more than three colors of houses, one was the primary color of cement, one was brushed with a layer of white lime outside the cement, and some were simply the primary color of red bricks.
The greening trees planted on the side of the road are also the same as the hometown, wear the poplar, this poplar grows fast, it will not take a few years to become a tree, it is very annoying when it comes to the spring flowers, it is its cotton wool that flies everywhere, it is like snow, and it is still on fire, and it is a piece.
The people on the street are dressed similarly to those in their hometown, the person under the big tree is dressed very similar to Dayong's, speaking of likeness, not only the clothes are like, but the figure is also very similar to the eldest son, Shi Youtian is old, and the old eyes are dizzy The first time he didn't recognize Shi Dayong, how to see this person like the eldest son, I couldn't help but look at it twice, this focus, immediately recognized that this is not his eldest son Shi Dayong.
Shi Dayong had been wandering around outside for a long time, the cigarette butt was thrown on the ground, he leaned against a big tree, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth.
Shi Youtian looked at his son under the tree quietly, at this point, Dayong had clearly come out of the hospital, what he was holding in his hand must be the results of the hospital's examination, looking at his son's expression, he knew that the result must be bad, otherwise his son would have come to report the good news to him a long time ago, and he would not be worried like this.
Hot tears slipped down involuntarily, and his eyes were hazy, causing him to see anything clearly, Shi Youtian gritted his teeth and cried silently, the old woman was asleep, and he didn't want to wake her up.
Shi Dayong was tired of standing, he blushed down, sat directly on the root of the tree, took out the cigarette case and prepared to smoke another one, but when he opened the cigarette case, it was empty, and there was no cigarette left, he angrily clumped the cigarette box into a ball, threw it into the distance, hung his head between his knees, and remained motionless.
Dayong is a good boy. He knew that the child was uncomfortable, and he wanted to comfort himself as a father, Shi Youtian silently shed tears for a while, and then wiped his face clean with his sleeve, and after standing for a while, he couldn't stand anymore, he moved his arm to the side, found a chair, and moved himself up.
Accept his fate, life is a lifetime, and it is a death when he arrives, just like being a train, there are those who get off the train early, and those who get off the train late, he just takes a few stops less.
It feels like life is passing a pass, passing a pass by level, Shi Dayong sat under the tree for a long time, always not going back to the house is not that thing after all, he stood up and walked back to the hotel, he was still a little hesitant when he was at the door, and finally pushed the door open ruthlessly.
"Squeak-" sounded, Sun Xiufang, who was sleeping, woke up suddenly, she opened her eyes suddenly, first looked at Shi Youtian next to her, and was surprised that she didn't see anyone, "Yong Dad!" She shouted, sat up hurriedly, and saw Shi Youtian sitting on a chair by the window, so she was relieved and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you call me when you get up, father?" Oh, Dayong is back. ”
"Hmm." Shi Dayong agreed, and his eyes first glanced at his father, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to speak.
"Did you get it back, what did the doctor say?" Sun Xiufang took the information in Shi Dayong's hand, unfolded it one by one, to be honest, Sun Xiufang was illiterate, and she couldn't understand the content at all, so she came over like this, looked at it vertically for a while, and never heard Shi Dayong answer, couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked: "Tell my mother quickly, what did the doctor say?" ”
"That ......" Shi Dayong was very embarrassed, he sorted out the wording in his heart, thinking about how to speak.
"Boss, Yong damn, you two come here, I'll tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Sun Xiufang took the test results and looked at them as she walked.
"Boss, go and move a chair for your mother." The old woman was timid, and Shi Youtian was afraid that what he said would scare his wife, so he couldn't stand it and fell to the ground again.
"Hey." Shi Dayong moved the chair from the side of the bed and asked his mother to sit down.
"Why do you have to sit and listen?" Sun Xiufang sat down, worried in her heart, and looked at Shi Youtian: "Sit down, you can say it." ”
"Ahem! Cough! Shi Youtian covered his mouth with his fist and cleared his throat, his voice was still hoarse, but the words were clear: "Boss, Dad already knows, you don't need to say it." "What? Daddy, you know? Dad, how do you know? Shi Dayong didn't believe it, his father came back from the hospital and never went out, how did his father know?
"You don't care how I know, Yong damn, let me tell you, I'm sick and can't see it well."
"Don't talk nonsense, Dayong hasn't spoken yet, how do you know it's not good." The old man's words were unlucky, Sun Xiufang hurriedly stopped it, and turned her head to Shi Dayong: "Dayong, tell your father quickly, what did the doctor say?" Say it quickly, look at you kid, why are you in a hurry? ”
Shi Dayong didn't dare to accept his mother's gaze, he shifted his gaze to the window, but he saw the big tree he was staying in just now, he looked at the position his father was doing now, and understood in his heart that his every move below, his father saw it.
"Daddy." Shi Dayong wanted to speak, but Shi Youtian waved his hand to stop him.
"Damn, don't embarrass the child." Shi Youtian grabbed Sun Xiufang's hand, he could feel that the old woman was already scared, and her hand was shaking slightly: "Old woman, don't be afraid, people have to take this step sooner or later." ”
"How did it get to this? Dayong, don't you say that it is possible to be benign? Dayong, Boss! Sun Xiufang didn't want to believe it, she pinned her last bit of hope on Shi Dayong, but her son's evasive eyes and silent expression all told him that what Shi Youtian said was true.
Sun Xiufang felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, but fortunately she was sitting on a chair, otherwise she might really be paralyzed to the ground.
"Old man, ......" Sun Xiufang buried her face in Shi Youtian's thin palm, her shoulders shrugged, she couldn't stop whimpering, and the warm tears instantly wet Shi Youtian's palm, and fell from between her fingers.
Shi Youtian closed his eyes and let the tears slide down his cheeks, he trembled and stroked Sun Xiufang's gray hair with the other one, more than forty years of husband and wife, the most he owes in this life is the old woman: "Yong Da Niang......" Shi Youtian was full of guilt: "I owe you in this life, and I can only pay it back in the next life." ”
Sun Xiufang shook her head, snot and tears rubbed Shi Youtian's hands were full: "I don't need you to survive, I want you to live well in this life, old man, you owe me in this life and haven't paid off, you can't go, you can't go......"
The scene of the old parents hugging their heads and crying deeply pierced Shi Dayong's heart, and he stood frozen in front of the window, bursting into tears.
After a long time, the whimpering voice gradually weakened, and Shi Youtian patted Sun Xiufang's shoulder, "Da Yong Niang, let's not cry, Da Yong." Shi Youtian looked at his son.
"Oh, Dad." Shi Dayong quickly wiped away the tears on his face and turned around: "Dad, what's the matter?" ”
"You go check out, let's go home." Shi Youtian thought that since he couldn't be cured, he would go back, so that he could save a night's room money.
At this time, it was almost dusk, the golden sunset swayed over, the window was golden, Shi Dayong looked at the sky, a little embarrassed, "Dad, it's not too early to go at this point, it's dark halfway through, it's better to go early tomorrow morning." ”
"Black is black, let's drive slowly, it's better than a few dollars cheaper than others," After speaking, he looked at Sun Xiufang: "Old woman, you go and pack your luggage." "Shi Youtian is very stubborn, as the head of the family, he has always been what he says.
"Hey." Sun Xiufang wiped her tears and got up to work.
Shi Dayong didn't want to upset his father, so he went to the counter to check out, "Comrade, 102 check out." ”
The waiter counted the money, and when Shi Dayong saw that there was a discrepancy between the money he had calculated and the money he calculated, he was a little puzzled and asked puzzledly: "Comrade, did you miscalculate?" ”
"I wasn't mistaken." At first glance, this person has never lived in a hotel, he doesn't know, the hotel check-out is generally before 12 o'clock at noon, if it is after 12 o'clock, it will still be charged, the waiter told Shi Dayong seriously: "Comrade, it is now past 12 o'clock at noon, if you check out after 12 o'clock, you will be charged half a day's room payment." ”
And this kind of statement? He thought about it for a while, and decided not to settle the bill first, just because he didn't want to rush to the night, yesterday my father took a car for nearly three hours to get here, and he didn't have a rest, and he rushed back today, with his father's current body, I'm afraid he can't stand it.
Shi Dayong returned to the room, Sun Xiufang had already packed up his things, and he said to Shi Youtian: "Dad, I asked just now, even if we don't live here today, we have to collect money for half a day." ”
"What? Isn't it unreasonable to stay overnight and collect money for one night, and why don't we still collect our money if we don't spend the night here? ”
Shi Dayong spread his hands and said helplessly: "Dad, everyone is like that, what do you say?" ”
Shi Youtian calculated an account stupidly, really, if I don't live here, you still charge me money for half a day, no matter how you calculate it, you will suffer a loss, we can't do the loss, he thought for a while and said: "Dayong, or let's leave tomorrow morning."
