Chapter 6 Dingding, Don't Give Up
The Teletubbies' doll costume is thick and heavy, and when he takes it off, Lin Xiangyu can feel a layer of wet sweat inside, and then look at Qi Siyue, who is pale and smiling, and can't tell what it feels like in his heart.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?"
When Qi Siyue just took off her doll costume and stood up, her eyes were dark and she almost fell, thanks to Lin Xiangyu's timely support, she didn't fall so embarrassed, but the first thing she did after standing firm was to withdraw her arm from his hand, pick up her son coldly and leave.
"I don't have time to cook, you can watch and get something to eat yourself."
"I've eaten it." Lin Xiangyu stretched out his hand to hug his son, "I'll hug it, you can rest for a while." ”
"No," Qi Siyue didn't even want to look at him more, and walked straight towards the bedroom, "I'll take him to take a bath, he will sleep with me at night, you can sleep in another room." ”
"Siyue—"
Lin Xiangyu helplessly watched her close the door mercilessly, and after a while, there was a sound of rushing water inside, he stood in the living room a little weakly, looking at the messy toys on the floor, closed his eyes, and wanted to get rid of all this as a nightmare, and then opened his eyes to find that everything had not changed, so he had to resign himself to start cleaning up.
Qi Siyue bathed his son and took him to bed, and he had already skillfully taken out his favorite giraffe puppet for him to hold, covered it with a light blue quilt that he couldn't do without every day, and after adjusting the bedside lamp, he began to read him fairy tales.
Whether he listened or not, whether he could understand it or not, as long as she was beside her, as long as she was surrounded by something familiar to him, he could lie quietly and slowly fall asleep.
These seem simple, but they also cost Qi Siyue a lot of effort.
At first, she wanted to change some toys and pajamas for An An, but she didn't want to use the things that her mother-in-law and nanny had prepared for him, so she searched and purchased the toys that are said to be the most popular among autistic children, the most comfortable pillows and silk quilts, but the child didn't appreciate it.
Only then did she realize that the best thing may not be the most suitable thing.
For An An, the changes around him in the past two days have been too great, and they have had a great impact on him, even if it is his mother who is with him now, he is not familiar with him.
He needs what he is familiar with to keep himself safe and rejects the changes that come with new things.
So Qi Siyue retrieved An An's usual use from the things that were almost thrown away, and then cleaned, dried, and disinfected, tossing for a long time to have the current stable time.
In just two or three days, she felt exhausted.
The time and energy required by housewives is not inferior to that of office workers who struggle in the workplace, but their efforts are often ignored, and the value of their labor is not recognized.
But once a family loses its mother, it is not only half of the sky falling, but a complete collapse at any time.
When she refused Lin Xiangyu's help, she began to think about the situation of taking care of her children in the future.
If you still have to rely on him to live now, then if he leaves, he will even have a second child...... At that time, it would be an even bigger blow to her and An An, who were already accustomed to his presence.
Without expectations, there is no disappointment.
The mother-in-law has already said that she wants a second child, that is, she plans to give up An An, Qi Siyue thought a little indifferently, she knew that this was the case, and she didn't have to persuade Lin Xiangyu to take people to the city for treatment.
There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and the same is true for the mother-in-law.
An Ran's illness cannot be cured overnight, she already plans to fight a protracted battle, so it is impossible to have the time and energy to work, let alone have a second child.
If Lin Xiangyu compromises with his mother, then she will only have to divorce.
Looking at her son's fleshy little face, which was already asleep, Qi Siyue's nose was sour, but she tried very hard to restrain it, letting the tears in her eyes flow back.
No matter what others think, I'm your mom and will never change.
When she woke up the next morning, Qi Siyue opened her eyes and found that the pillow next to her was empty, so she was startled and hurriedly rushed out of the bedroom, but saw Lin Xiangyu taking Lin Anran to breakfast, and when she looked back and saw her, she smiled at her.
"Tired last night, right? I'm resting today, I'll take care of An An, you can sleep more! ”
His smile was calm and calm, and he couldn't tell that there had been any Cold War discord at all.
Qi Siyue didn't look at him, her eyes were completely focused on Lin Anran, and she saw that although he was expressionless, he was eating fried dough sticks unhurriedly, and he didn't care if she appeared at all.
"Don't sleep, I'll go wash up, and I'll take An An to Dr. Fang's follow-up today."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Lin Xiangyu hurriedly said: "If there are any problems, we can discuss them together, and you don't want to be alone in your heart......
Qi Siyue looked at him and suddenly became a little in a trance.
It seems that many years ago, when they were still in school, he said the same thing to her.
"No matter what, with me, you don't want to carry it alone, your business is my business, I will always be with you!"
But I don't know when it began, work became busier and busier, life became more and more dull, and in the busyness, they even became relatively speechless when they were together, and they hurried as if they were dealing with business, until the only child who maintained the relationship and blood of the two had a problem, and they found out -
They turned out to be the strangers they knew best.
Do you respect each other? It's really polite to this point, what kind of feelings do you talk about?
But once upon a time, they were also a couple who loved each other, with endless words, endless letters, dramas chasing all night together, and eighteen plates that climbed hand in hand......
"Good!"
Qi Siyue dropped a word, turned around in a hurry, and ran into the bathroom in the master bedroom as if she were running away, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.
Who is this woman with black eyes, a puffy face, and messy hair?
She didn't even dare to admit it herself!
In just a few days, she has changed from a workplace OL with exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes to this raunchy and unkempt yellow-faced woman?!
Slapped her face with cold water, Qi Siyue calmed herself down, washed up as quickly as possible, and when she went out again, she returned to her usual tidiness, although she did not have formal makeup and dress like when she went to work, but she also cleaned up neatly, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, but she was more youthful and energetic.
After all, she is only twenty-eight years old now, which is the most beautiful and energetic years in a woman's life.
Lin Xiangyu hadn't seen her in such a simple and unpretentious dress for a long time, but he had another amazing feeling, and handed her chopsticks and spoons.
"The porridge has cooled, and now it's time to enter it. You don't like to eat fritters, I bought you Zhang Ji's shrimp cabbage heart bun, taste it to your appetite. ”
"Thank you."
Qi Siyue took the tableware expressionlessly, these were indeed the breakfast she used to love, but when she was busy with work in the past few years, she often omitted breakfast, and on the way to the office, a sandwich and a cup of coffee were solved, and she rarely ate so attentively.
Lin Anran tore open the bun, scooped out the filling with a spoon, ate and spit out, making a mess on the plate, and she completely lost her appetite.
"An An, is it okay for mom to feed you?"
Qi Siyue took a clean plate from the kitchen and was about to replace the plate in front of him, but he suddenly screamed and pushed the plate on her, and the bun filling and soup inside were all spilled on her, and the plate fell to the ground with a thud and fell into several pieces.
"Ahh Yes! ——”
Lin Anran pulled her hair and screamed hoarsely, Qi Siyue staggered back a few steps, looking at the puddles of stains on her body and the child in front of her who refused to approach her, and suddenly wanted to cry.
In just a few days, she has changed from a glamorous professional elite standing on the podium to a helpless and helpless stay-at-home mother.
But if even she gives up, then who else can help him?
Lin Xiangyu rushed over and picked up the child, his arm was extraordinarily strong, Lin Anran quieted down suddenly, and returned to his previous expressionless appearance, as if everything just now had nothing to do with him at all.
"Siyue?"
Seeing his worried eyes, Qi Siyue took a deep breath, "I'm fine, you take An An to play for a while first, and I'll go change my clothes and clean up here." ”
Without waiting for him to answer, Qi Siyue hurried back to the room, for fear that she would not be able to control it well and cry in front of him. She has long been accustomed to maintaining a perfect image in front of everyone, even her husband. But from the beginning of knowing that the child was sick, everything was constantly breaking her habits and challenging her bottom line.
When she changed her clothes and lost her appetite for eating, the cold buns were extremely greasy, and she barely drank half a cup of soy milk, so she urged Lin Xiangyu to take the child to the follow-up together.
While listening to Qi Siyue's experience with the child in the past few days, Fang Zheng watched Lin Anran fiddle with the special toys on the table, and Sven's face always kept a smile.
His smile seemed to be gentle and amiable, but Lin Xiangyu felt an indescribable glare and couldn't help asking, "Doctor Fang, how long will it take for your treatment to be effective?" ”
"Effective? What effect do you want? Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head, "Autism is different from ordinary diseases, and there is no complete cure at present......
"And it's useless for you to make us do so much?" Lin Xiangyu's anger surged, thinking of Qi Siyue's embarrassed appearance of being fooled by him and pretending to be a clown, his voice also rose, "You are a liar!" ”
"Be quiet, don't scare the kids."
Fang Zheng shrugged at him dissatisfiedly, his eyes were still "loving" looking at Lin Anran, who was concentrating on fiddling with the puzzle, "Whether it's a lie or not, you don't count it." In the current situation, even if you complain about me, or even sue me, it is useless. There are two kinds of autism, whether you can find the cause of his acquired illness or not, the program I provide can promote the relationship between your parents and children, and help improve his condition......"
"But the number of times he was agitated in the past two days has not decreased, but has increased."
Qi Siyue narrowed her eyes slightly. When Lin Xiangyu was here, she jumped out of her mother's identity, but she could see the current situation more clearly.
In recent years, the diagnosis rate of autism has been increasing, due to environmental reasons, and there are also reasons for parents to pay more attention, but relatively speaking, the treatment methods have not improved significantly.
Fang Zheng saw her dissatisfaction and sighed, "You also said before, after the diagnosis, the nanny was dismissed, and you took care of him personally." The sudden change in the environment and the people around you has a great impact on the child, and it will definitely take a process of adaptation, if you can't even stick to this, what about long-term treatment and rehabilitation in the future? ”
"Thank you for your concern, we'll take care of that ourselves." Lin Xiangyu stood up with the child in his arms, "But we need a more aggressive treatment plan, not what you call incurable." Let's go. ”
Qi Siyue was pulled out of the consultation room by him a little dazed, and when she saw the expressionless child in his arms, she suddenly burst into tears, "Is it really not curable?" ”
"I won't ......" Lin Xiangyu saw her crying, and suddenly was a little in a hurry, and hurriedly put Lin Anran on the ground, wanting to wipe away her tears, but she didn't expect Lin Anran, who had just stood firmly, to take Qi Siyue's hand, and learn from her previous shaking her head when she was wearing a doll costume, while shaking his big head, he made a clumsy "ding" sound.
"Ding-ding-ding-drip-drip!"
"Dingding?"
Qi Siyue was stunned, squatted down and looked at him, his eyes were still empty and blank, but what was repeated in his mouth was the voice she had repeated repeatedly in the past few days, and an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart.
"Are you learning how to speak to your mother?"
Lin Anran shook off her hand and returned to her previous indifference, but Qi Siyue couldn't help but rejoice.
"He knows what I'm doing and he can feel it! He'll be cured! Absolutely! ”
"That's right," Lin Xiangyu hugged both their mother and son, and nodded vigorously, "An An will definitely get better, we won't give up no matter what!" ”
"Hmm!" Qi Siyue couldn't help but kiss him on the face, and kissed Lin Anran hard, even if he avoided it impatiently, she still smiled happily, "It's us—we don't give up!" ”
