305, the aging father
Even so, there is no way around the summer solstice.
She was also angry that Ling Xin had left like this, if she really found them, what she had to do was not to persuade Su Xiao to come back, but to let Ling Xin and Xie Danyu make a decision.
At the same time, Xia Zhi also felt depressed - did Su Xiao know about this? Why would he allow such a thing to happen? Can love really blind a person's eyes?
She sent Xie Danyu out of the door, originally wanting to hug her, but in the face of her coldness, Xia Zhi finally just watched her leave.
When Xie Danyu walked away, Xia Zhi squatted on the ground, exhaling carefully, unable to calm down for a long time.
She was startled when the phone in her pocket rang.
It was Xia Yuanlai's call, and as soon as he heard her voice, he hurriedly shouted: "Sister, come back soon, Dad has a stroke!" β
Xia Zhi's head went blank with a "bang", she stood up and ran out, because she stood too quickly, it was dark in front of her, but she didn't stop. After running out of the hospital door more than ten meters away, she stopped and returned to the office in a panic to get her backpack.
- Her documents and bank cards are in her backpack.
For two and a half years, she has not seen Xia Jianfeng since the decision to divorce was made. In my impression, although he is getting older, he is in good spirits, and his voice is loud and full of neutrality.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to lie in his hospital bed, and for a moment, she was terrified that the man she thought couldn't possibly fall would never get up again.
Fear enveloped her like a shadow, and she hurried back to Kangzhou in the stars and moon, to the place she wanted to escape from all her life, to the place where she was born and raisedβher home.
Less than ten o'clock, Xia Zhi rushed to Kangzhou People's Hospital. It's only been four hours, how can it feel like a lifetime apart?
She ran into Xia Yuan and his wife at the entrance of the hospital, who was about to call her. She walked straight past them, not seeing them at all.
"Sister!" Yu Xiaofei saw her first and shouted, "We're here!" β
She hurriedly turned around and was stunned: "What's wrong with Dad?" β
Xia Yuan's face was full of fatigue, but he was no longer frowning: "I just finished the operation, it came in time, and the operation was okay, but my father was still in a coma, and my mother was guarding it." β
Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "What about Xiao Jin?" β
Yu Xiaofei said: "Send me to my mother's place, isn't this rushing to pick him up, my mother said that he has been crying and refuses to sleep." β
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Go quickly, I'll go up and have a look." β
In the ward, He Yan was sitting on the bench with her back against the wall and dozing off with her eyes closed, Xia Jianfeng was lying on the bed in a blue and white striped hospital gown, his head was wrapped in bandages, and the oxygen tube was wrapped around his philtrum, but he slept peacefully.
Xia Zhi glanced at Xia Jianfeng, then walked towards He Yan and patted her on the shoulder. With just this touch, He Yan woke up with a shock, she stared at the hospital bed, saw that Xia Jianfeng was still in a coma, and then turned her head to see Xia Zhi.
"Ah...... There you are. β
He Yan's words made Xia Zhi feel quite sad, she said: "Mom, go back and rest, I'm here to guard." β
He Yan thought for a while before saying, "Okay, your dad will call me as soon as he wakes up." If he doesn't wake up tonight, I'll come over tomorrow morning. β
Xia Zhi wanted to send her downstairs, but when she was sent to the door of the ward, He Yan waved her hand and asked her to go back: "Your father wakes up and needs someone, you go back." β2k
Xia Zhi originally wanted to say that Xia Jianfeng shouldn't wake up so quickly, but she still forgot it, she said: "There are taxis at the entrance of the hospital, if you can't get a taxi, call me, and I'll call a car for you." β
He Yan waved his hand and walked to the elevator. Xia Zhi found that He Yan's back was slightly bent, and her steps seemed a little staggering.
Turning back into the room, she pulled the bench to the side of the hospital bed and silently watched Xia Jianfeng.
The hospital bed was less than one meter wide, Xia Jianfeng was lying on it but it was far from filled, and under the heavy white quilt, the bulging part was much shorter than Xia Zhi's impression. He was like a dried fish, and his whole body wilted.
Xia Zhi hesitantly reached out and touched his cheek with the back of his hand. There was a hint of coldness on the surface of the skin at first touch, but it quickly warmed up. She pulled the quilt up slightly, and it felt better.
She slept on the edge of the bed, not knowing whether it was a dream or a memory, and the past was mixed with wind and snow and broke into her brain.
She thought she had always been a very well-behaved child, and it turned out that she had also shown a rebellious factor in her childhood.
Once, she took Xia Yuan to swing in the community and was driven down by the older children in the same community. In retaliation, she and Xia Yuan picked up pebbles and went home, squatted on the balcony, and threw them down when the two older children passed by.
The person didn't smash it, but the other party's parents came to the door.
After Xia Jianfeng ordered their sister and brother to apologize in front of the two pairs of mother and son, he knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and threatened not to allow them to eat, and he would kneel until twelve o'clock in the evening.
She was honest and stunned not to snort. Xia Yuan couldn't stand it when he was young, and he started crying within an hour.
Xia Jianfeng and He Yan were completely unmoved, she had to keep coaxing her younger brother, found him books to cushion his feet, and let him lie on his side on his lap when he was tired, he shouted that he was hungry, so she secretly went to find cookies when her parents were not paying attention.
Now that I think about it, how could they not know about such a big movement when she went to turn over the cookies? Asking her to take care of Xia Yuan, who is still ignorant, is also a punishment for her.
She was 7 years old and Xia Yuan was 3 years old. Since then, she has never taken Xia Yuan to "be a traitor".
Xia Jianfeng and He Yan always praised other people's children in front of her, and she kept climbing up in order to gain his approval, and unconsciously, she also became someone else's child in the mouth of other parents.
You look at the summer solstice, the exam has never been lower than 90 points, and then look at you......
The article in that newspaper was written by the summer solstice of your class......
You see that people will tutor their younger brother on the summer solstice, how much tuition fee will be saved......
Xia Jianfeng often said that she was not good enough, and what makes people excellent is not the achievements she has made, but the perseverance and tenacity. She inherited that tenacity from him.
She has been working hard in the workplace, and after graduating for 12 years, she has done five jobs on her fingers.
At the beginning of each job, she is always mediocre and will never be the most eye-catching, but once she puts herself into work, her high sense of responsibility and persistence always makes her push herself to do her best.
Her ability will gradually be reflected in the tempering of time and the control of details.
She thought, she really wasn't good enough, she was just tough. This is the most precious treasure of her life.
She doesn't know how to choose, she doesn't know how to grasp the moment, countless opportunities to succeed float in front of her eyes, and she doesn't know it, she only knows to identify the goal and bury her head in it - even when there is no goal, she will bury her head in it.
She once looked down on Xia Jianfeng's pride in being a warehouse keeper all her life, but why wasn't she like this?
She has his blood in her body, and the values in her bones are built with him as the center, no matter how hard she tries to escape, the fate of blood thicker than water will haunt her for the rest of her life.
