Grandfather's fainting was obviously outside of her mother's plan, she stood on the handrail for a few seconds before she changed her calm tone and said, "Quickly help the old lady to the room, and Steward Xu, please call to find Dr. Shen." Seeing that Lao Xu didn't mean to leave for a long time, she asked a little angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said, what are you doing here!" ”

He snorted aggrievedly: "Third wife, you see, didn't Dr. Shen leave a long time ago, he came to the house to say hello before he left." ”

The mother was obviously caused by habit, and she didn't expect the fact that Shen Zhongping had left. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Then Aunt Wang, go and invite that foreign doctor, Dr. George, do you know the address of his clinic?" After the Taichengli in front, you will arrive at it by walking a few more steps. ”

Wang's mother was chattering: "But the old lady usually sees traditional Chinese medicine, and it doesn't matter if Dr. Shen is an acquaintance, he doesn't like those foreigners, saying that there is a smell on his body, and he can't wash it off for a few days if he touches it." ”

Mother Zhengse said: "I'm not discussing with you, you don't want to bargain with me." As the saying goes, Western medicine cures diseases, Chinese medicine prolongs life, and this kind of acute disease will not be cured by Chinese medicine for a while. Go get Dr. George. ”

Wang's mother has been at home for decades, and she has always been a little arrogant in relying on the old and selling the old. But this time, when I saw that my mother's face was very ugly, I had to mumble and go to Dr. George.

The second brother, who has always been impulsive and not calm enough, showed surprisingly calm this time, especially when everyone was in a hurry, he stood in front of the door and supported his grandfather steadily, like a pine standing proudly in the snow.

While everyone was helping my grandfather into the room, I cautiously moved over and asked cautiously, "What's the matter, why did grandpa faint at the door of your room?" ”

The second brother was possessed by the eldest brother in an instant, and the whole person exuded a cold temperament: "Grandpa came to the room to find me and asked me what happened." I didn't know what my parents told him, so I had to say that I couldn't remember it and asked him to ask his parents. But I didn't expect that I didn't know where he heard the news, but I thought that I must have caused trouble. He's a person, it's useless for you to argue with him, and it's not easy to confront him, so I said that I guess he had a concussion, and I don't remember what happened very clearly. Unexpectedly, he warned me, 'If you dare to follow the example of those young people who do not do their jobs properly, I will not have you as a grandson.' He sighed: "I haven't done anything, but I can't stand his temper so big, and he is so angry!" ”

The eldest brother gently grabbed his shoulders and pulled him aside: "I didn't expect you to stab such a big Lou Zi, do you know what your parents plan to do next?" ”

The second brother raised her head, and the tiredness in her eyes made her look like she was ten years old all of a sudden: "Either confinement or send me abroad directly, do you think that I am doing this as a heinous crime?" ”

The eldest brother shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not here to discuss with you the great truths of right and wrong, justice and truth. All I know is that if this matter is not handled well, it will not only have a profound impact on your future, but it will not do this family any good. Take my dad as an example, he works for the government, if people know that there is a student leader in the family, how do you let him deal with himself? Losing your job is probably the best outcome. ”

The second brother pondered for a second, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, it's good to be able to study abroad, you can't go for a while if you want to, right?" ”

This time, it was replaced by the eldest brother's surprise: "I thought you would fight grandpa to the end, if there is too much movement, I still think that whether to stand on your side will become my biggest trouble." I really didn't expect you to figure it out for yourself, you must know that what the chairman of the committee cares about most is to prevent the slightest problem, which is the so-called 'outside must first be at home'. It's good that you make such an outrageous move at such a critical juncture, which is like hitting yourself with the muzzle of the gun. ”

After my grandfather sobered up, the solemn atmosphere in the house reached a critical level. My father tried several times to communicate with my grandfather by taking the opportunity to deliver medicine, but he was kicked out. Finally, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, my father finally entered my grandfather's hospital room by taking advantage of Dr. George's follow-up consultation, and stayed there for a long time. During this period, my uncle and aunt tried several times to find an opportunity to go in and see the situation of the two people, but they all returned in vain. Therefore, the little joy that came out of schadenfreude is gone.

In the end, I only bought a third-class ticket, so I couldn't bring much luggage at all. Mother spent an afternoon packing her bags for the second brother, during which she remained surprisingly calm and strong, until the second brother held her hand and said seriously, "Mom, I don't know when I will see you again." The mother's tears were like the Huangpu River during the flood season, and the embankment burst with a "bang".

When the second brother left, it was a rare foggy day, and when everyone went to the dock to bid farewell to him, they couldn't even see the hands of the clock on the customs building. My parents, eldest brother and I had only the loyal Shui Qing to say goodbye to my second brother. Of course, Shui Qing's attitude towards the second brother does not seem to stop at loyalty, it seems to have a little bit of a secret love for Juehui like Mingfeng in "Home", but when the second brother leaves, I am afraid that this hazy emotion will also die.

During the whole process, his father was the most nervous person, he kept observing the situation around him with a serious expression, and finally even avoided hugging, and urged the second brother to get on the boat.

The second brother asked the question that everyone wanted to know the most in a cheerful and nonchalant tone: "When will I be released from exile, I may not be allowed to drift like this in a foreign country for the rest of my life, right?" ”

His father also gave him a nonchalant smile: "Wait until the day of the war, and you can come back." ”

When her mother sorted out her second brother's bags, she shed a handful of bitter tears. However, when it was really time to part, he always smiled strongly, and just told his second brother to take good care of himself and send us a telegram as soon as he arrived in the United States.

It's so sad to go through parting again and again. And the most terrible thing is not only that, life is already torn apart before the war has begun, not to mention what kind of situation it will fall into when it breaks out!

A few days later, it was the first day of school, and I didn't expect that on the first day of school, one-third of the students in the class were absent. Mr. Cao, the head teacher, looked around the empty classroom, and the expression on his face was even more lonely and dignified.
