Chapter 196: Surprise
Tan Man rarely heard Qiao Ning's slightly shy tone: "Then he didn't contact you?" ”
"Maybe I haven't had time to watch it yet, after all, we played all night last night, and I just woke up, and I have to go back to the hospital for duty at night."
"Good luck then!"
It's almost home, Tan Man thought about hanging up the phone first, and Qiao Ning said again: "Why don't you try to confess?" The lawyer has done it so obviously, and he must like you. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, he's a gentleman by nature, maybe he's like that for every girl."
"You just rub it, let me tell you, happiness is grasped by yourself, and opportunities are also seized by yourself, like a lawyer, someone covets it every minute, and if you rub it again, you will wait to send the blessing of the wedding."
“……”
After getting down from the bus stop, Tan Man received a reply from Gu Mochen, just one word: Okay.
She took a deep breath, feeling sporadic at his somewhat cold reply.
On the way to the teacher's village, she couldn't help but think about it, Qiao Ning's words disturbed her mind, thinking about what Gu Mochen had done in the past two days, it was really enough to arouse her reverie, and make her feel that the other party also liked it, and the ghost touched her forehead in a hurry, and the tactile sensation for that second was still vaguely there, and after thinking about it a little, the cells in her body could boil.
But when I thought about it, my father was lying on the hospital bed, and the flame of this little love was extinguished in an instant, and the steps under my feet couldn't help but speed up.
"The vines are back?" The janitor Wu Bo grinned, as enthusiastic as ever.
This teacher's village is a bit of an old community, many teachers with better conditions have moved out to buy new commercial houses, and the vacant houses are either left to the elderly, or sold out, so there are not many real old teachers, and the rest have become old neighbors, and the relationship is good.
"Happy New Year, Wu Bo." Tan Man smiled politely.
"This girl is coming back, why didn't she see Lao Guo come down to buy vegetables in the morning?"
Tan Man took a deep breath: "My dad is sick and hospitalized." ”
"What's going on?" When Wu Bo heard this, he was a little anxious, "Yesterday was fine, what's wrong?" ”
"I had a stroke and was sent to the hospital last night, but the situation is quite optimistic, and now it is stable."
"That's good, hey, people are old, this disease is like a mountain, your father has to rely on you to take care of it."
She nodded: "I'll go back first and pack some things for my dad." After speaking, Tan Man didn't stop long, and walked home.
Since going to college, she rarely enters her father's room, after graduation, every time she comes back is just a few days, he has been running the home alone for these years, but he has not become messy and cold because of the loss of the hostess, and the photos of a family of three can be seen everywhere in the father's room, although some are yellowed and faded, but they can't cover the happiness at all.
But when she saw a few bottles of medicine jars at the bedside, Tan Man suddenly had a sour nasal cavity, and after leaving home, she was always busy making herself grow up, but she forgot that her father was getting older, if it weren't for this illness, she still felt that she cared enough about her father.
After taking some change of clothes from the closet and packing up some daily necessities, Tan Man didn't dare to rub it off and hurried back to the hospital.
In the first few days, it was difficult for both the patient and the family, fortunately, the nurse invited in time and helped a lot, Xu Qiong was responsible for cooking and boiling soup every day, Tan Man was almost in the hospital with him, and the nurse took care of him in shifts, and after a week, Tan Weiguo's condition improved a lot, coupled with the optimism and active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, his hands and feet can slowly move, and the distortion of his face has also recovered, although it is still a little difficult to speak, and he can only spit out word by word, but compared to the beginning, he can't even say a word, and he has improved a lot.
That afternoon, Tan Man pushed Tan Weiguo to bask in the sun downstairs in the inpatient department, and Tan Man was sitting on the side, replying to Qiao Ning's WeChat with his mobile phone.
Tan Weiguo coughed twice deliberately, and asked not very neatly: "Male...... Friends, friends? ”
Tan Man raised his head, and his father looked at him straightly.
"It's Qiao Ning, that little nurse." Tan Man explained, "She knows that you are sick and is condolences to you." ”
Tan Weiguo thought for a while and asked persistently, "Boyfriend, friend, what?" ”
Tan Man frowned, and glanced at him a little mischievously: "Do I have a boyfriend, you still don't know?!" ”
"Nurse Yu, look, see, see." Tan Weiguo spit out the words vigorously, trying to make the tone appear righteous and righteous.
"What?" Nurse Yu is the nurse in charge of her father's ward these days, but Tan Man didn't understand it all of a sudden, "What did Nurse Yu see?" ”
"First, the night, one, the man, accompanied one, the night." Tan Weiguo swallowed, but saliva still overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and Tan Man hurriedly wiped him clean with a tissue.
During this period, Tan Weiguo's eyes never left Tan Man's face, just wanted to see some clues from her face, Tan Man knew at the moment that the man that Nurse Yu saw was Gu Mochen, the person who was originally talking to him indifferently that night, when he saw him, his tone of voice changed, but he didn't expect Nurse Yu to be so gossipy and tell the old man about it.
Tan Man pretended to be stupid, calmly followed his words, and said with a smile: "Dad, at this time, I really want to have a boyfriend to take care of you with me, you don't know how heavy you are, when you turn over and wipe your back, it took me a lot of effort, so ah, when you are well, you should exercise hard, don't play mahjong with Uncle Wang and them all day long, do you hear?" ”
When Tan Weiguo heard this, he felt like he had been caught in a dead hole, and he instantly shut up.
After retirement, there is nothing to do, a few retired teachers in the community love to play mahjong together, a dozen is a day, although Tan Man is not around, but he also knows this, often tells him to pay attention to the body, work and rest combined, but every time he is a set of mouth, a set of hands. This time in the hospital, the doctor also said that the stroke was somewhat related to bad work and rest habits, and specially told the old comrades to play mahjong is no problem, but it must be moderate, take more walks, breathe fresh air, and do something healthier.
"Dad, you really have to pay attention to it, this time it's a lesson, play mahjong in the future, up to two hours." The topic was successful, and Tan Man took the opportunity to nag again, "You don't know, I was about to freak out when I received a call from the hospital, in case you ...... What do you want me to do?! ”
Tan Weiguo raised his hand tremblingly, patted the back of her hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and signaled her to feel at ease: "Find, one for you, okay, I, cai, rest assured, go." ”
When Tan Man heard this, he raised his face and scolded: "If you say anything that you can't leave, I don't allow it, you have to live a long life!" ”
Tan Weiguo crooked his mouth and smiled, looking funny.
At this time, Tan Man's mobile phone rang, and it was Gu Mochen who had not been in contact for a few days, and a trace of surprise couldn't help flashing in his eyes, he looked down at the person in the wheelchair, and explained a word, before he quickly ran to the big tree next to him to pick it up.
"Vines?"
"Well, it's me." Hearing him call her name, she felt like a spring breeze.
"How's my uncle?"
Tan Man bent his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's much better, in another four or five days, you can be discharged from the hospital, the doctor said, just go home and slowly recuperate and recover." ”
"That's good."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Tan Man didn't know what to say, so he blinked and asked, "Lawyer Gu, is there something wrong with you calling?" ”
The other party hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Do you remember that day at Disney, on the way to see the fireworks show, I bought Xiaobei a Mickey badge?" ”
She thought for a moment, "Remember, the blue one." ”
"Well, after I went back, Xiaobei and I forgot about it, when I went to kindergarten this morning, he suddenly remembered, and asked me noisily, I remember very much, I put it in my coat pocket at that time, but now I haven't found it, I'm wondering, will it be on the sofa in your father's ward that night."
"But I'm just pushing my dad to bask in the sun in the hospital garden right now, and I'll look for it when I get back later, okay?"
Gu Mochen was holding the phone in his left hand, and the fingers of his right hand were playing with the blue Mickey badge, and he suddenly felt a little ridiculous, in order to find an excuse to call her, he actually did such a childish thing.
"It's okay, don't worry, if you can't find it, I'll buy him another one."
"Oh." Tan Man sat down next to the stone bench under the tree and asked, "Is Xiaobei good these days?" ”
"It's okay, it's just three days and two heads to ask me, where are you, why don't you come to him."
Tan Man chuckled lightly, and kicked a few fallen leaves on the ground with his toes.
Listening to his nice voice, I couldn't help but chat: "Then did you explain to him for me and mess up his trip to Disney?" ”
"Having said that, I also told him that you promised him that we would go again after the New Year."
"He doesn't hold a grudge against me, does he?"
"Probably not." Gu Mochen chuckled, "However, every day before going to bed, they ask me when Manman will come back." ”
Tan Man didn't know that this was the words of the scheming uncle after adding fuel and vinegar, in fact, Xiaobei asked once.
She scratched her temples, "Hmm...... Actually, I'm planning to go back in the next two days, and there are still a lot of things to hand over at school, but even if I go back, it's only a day or two, after all, my dad is here, and he really can't leave for too long. ”
Gu Mochen's eyes lit up: "These two days?" ”
"It's not decided yet."
"I'm going to Hong Kong on a business trip early the day after tomorrow and I'll be back in a week."
"Oh, then you should be in Hong Kong when I go back."
Tan Man didn't understand the meaning of his words at first, he just responded stupidly, and didn't say anything else, Gu Mochen is naturally a calm person, and he won't say it so clearly at once, but when Tan Man returned to Shanghai at noon the next day and saw Gu Mochen who suddenly appeared in the community, he understood his hint on the phone.
After chatting for a while, Tan Man looked at his father and said helplessly: "Lawyer Gu, it's time, I have to push my dad back to the ward, and I won't tell you first." ”
