My sister's eyes widened and she looked at me warmly.

Then, with trembling fingers, she caressed my cheek and said with a snort and cherishment: "Mingxi, Mingxi, you, you...... Are you really okay? ”

Strangely, bathed in my sister's soft gaze, I always had the illusion of lying in my mother's arms.

Maybe it's because my mother died early, in the winter when I was nine years old, maybe it's because of the huge age difference between my sister and brother, my sister is nearly fifty, and I am only twenty-nine.

"I'm just a little dizzy now, don't worry, my brother is in good health!" I comforted my worried sister.

sat down on the edge of my bed, grabbed my hand outside the quilt and shouted: "Oh, Mingxi, you scared me to death, you were in a coma for a whole week, talking nonsense, oh, it's okay now, thank God!" ”

She excitedly unscrewed the thermos cap and said loudly, laughing and crying, "You must be hungry!" For a week, you didn't eat anything, only drank a little milk and water, and you were all dying! Come, I'll feed you fish soup, your favorite! ”

As soon as I mentioned the word hungry, I suddenly felt that the empty city plan in my stomach was singing heartily and turning the earth upside down.

I opened my mouth wide exaggeratedly and made another gobbling feint to tease my sister: "Hurry up, the smell of fish soup has stirred up the hungry worms in my stomach!" ”

My sister glanced at me and opened her mouth to say something, but she just pursed her mouth with her hand and couldn't help but laugh twice, and finally didn't say anything, just spoonful by spoonful of fragrant fish soup into my mouth.

After the soup was drunk, I ate two more fried pancakes, and finally took the napkin handed by my sister and wiped my mouth, rubbed my belly with both hands, and hummed a few times with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full, don't say thank you, ah." ”

My sister got up to tidy up the thermos flask, and smiled with a little seriousness: "Be serious, return to the teacher." Pay attention to rest, don't keep talking with a hippie smile. I'm leaving, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

"You're not here with me?" I always have an attachment to my sister who has always cared for me.

"Feixia has been taking care of you these days. You're going to have to get along! ”

Feixia takes care of me? Is it possible? I don't know how my sister got out of the ward, but I just stared blankly at the snow-white roof.

Since we got married in '93, although we live under the same roof, we have been in the same bed and dreaming like strangers.

Especially in the past six months or so, I have been eating at snack bars outside, except for the fried cake fritters are noodle wontons, except for the noodle wontons are fried cake fritters. I don't want to eat at home, I don't want to see her and hear her voice.

Maybe in her words, it's called the end of fate, or maybe it's the pain of my life when I met you, and I poured mold for 800 lifetimes.

I turned my gaze from the roof to the wall, and then to the cedar tree outside the window, and remembered the classic:

Happy families are similar, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes.

It's time for ward rounds.

There were three people who walked into the ward: a male doctor in a white coat, a female nurse in a white hat, and Feixia in a blue dress. The male physician had a sign on his left chest that read "Gong Xi", and he asked me with a calm professional smile, "How are you?" How does it feel? ”

I drove the disgust and dissatisfaction that quickly swelled at seeing my wife Feixia to the most hidden corner, and politely raised my head, so that the smile on my face spread out more naturally and brightly: "Doctor Gong, thank you, it's very good. By the way, when will I be discharged from the hospital and stand on the podium again? ”

Doctor Gong didn't reply to me directly, and said slowly and lightly: "Have a good rest, and talk about it after your body is demobilized." ”

The nurse lady put the thermometer in my mouth and took out several pills from the tray and told me, "One tablet of each type, three tablets per meal, three times a day." ”

The ward round doctor went out, and I tried to speak to Feixia who was standing in front of my bed in a calm and soft tone: "You're here?" It's been a hard time! ”

"What's the hard work, it's just the life of an old mother." Glancing at the smile that seemed to be squeezed out of her beautiful melon seed face, listening to her unobstructed voice, my head seemed to be a little dizzy, and a trace of sour bitterness suddenly rose in my heart, and I immediately pulled back my gaze to the dazzling window.

Even though I still had a smile on my face, I knew it was the paint I had smeared on the canvas.

It was about ten o'clock when my father came. My father will be eighty years old in three years, and he does not have much black hair on his head, and his spirit seems to be getting worse day by day. As soon as I saw him, I said, "Dad, why are you here?" I'm just resting at home, and I'm fine. ”

Hongqi Township is more than 20 miles away from Binjiang City, and I have to walk six or seven miles of stone road, I am really worried about my old father.

Ever since I was a child, I have always worried my father, studying, working, getting married, and family, just like lying in a hospital bed and worrying about my father. Alas, when will I come to worry about my old father!

"Nothing? Nothing how do you fall in class? Nothing how do you sleep in a hospital bed for seven days? Nothing you do with yellow skin? My father stared at me with wide eyes, his long eyebrows seemed to stand up, and his voice trembled visibly.

My father took a breath and turned his face to Feixia, who was sitting in the chair next to me, "Feixia, do you know why he fell?" It's because of malnutrition. ”

I know the personality of an honest father, he talks and does things like lifting wood in the alley - straight to the point, never talks about any methods and does not understand any art, he is directly criticizing his daughter-in-law for not taking good care of his precious son.

I was afraid of arousing my wife's disgust, so I showed strangers a good show, and half-jokingly and half-complainingly snatched the conversation: "Dad, you save it, you know that I have always been weak, when I was a child, why don't you make up for me." Besides, aren't I pretty good right now? ”

But all my efforts turned into a river of spring water from Li Yu in an instant, rushing eastward.

I saw Feixia's beautiful face elongated without a trace of smile, cold as autumn frost and cold air.

She quickly stood up and ran to the south, leaning against the window, shouting "hot to death, hot to death, hot to death". In fact, I know that although today is the 2nd of July, it has just rained heavily yesterday, and the weather is cool and not hot at all, not to mention that there is air conditioning in the ward.

I only felt the heat in my palm, and Feixia's words were like a whistling stone, hitting my internal organs with pain and pain.

I still have a smile on my face, what can I say, what can I say!

What else my father said I didn't remember, and when I realized that he was long gone, I only saw Feixia still standing in front of the window, half of her face showing stiff muscles, obviously still drowning in irritation and anger.
