Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Man's Story
At night, the city of D is brightly lit, the deeper the night, there is an emotion that will occupy your thoughts, make you want to stop, and gradually devour your emotions, whether it is longing or grievances, there is a moment, you will not be able to adapt, with this emotion back to sleep, the dream is still the same.
Municipal People's Hospital, ward.
"Da Niu, do you regret talking to Brother Hua?!" Mu Cheng lay on the hospital bed, his hands pillowed behind his head, and he looked at the ceiling blankly and asked.
“…… Do you regret it?! Zhang Niu licked his chapped lips and was silent for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"We have no education, no technology, we have a salary of nearly 10,000 yuan a month, and the staff of Belden have a salary of two or three thousand, and if we take this money, we should do this money." Mu Cheng turned his head to look at Zhang Niu next to him, continued to look at the ceiling, and said softly.
"Chengzi, my dad used to eat the cheapest, but now he has a little problem and dares to go to the hospital, and the medicine he takes is also imported, as a son, this is what I should do, all these changes are given by Brother Hua, as a brother, I must stand in front of him and block everything for him." When Zhang Niu spoke, he couldn't help but think of his father who suffered from coronary heart disease at home, and his eyes instantly reddened.
"Da Niu, you said that one day I died, would you cry?!" Mu Cheng bared his big white teeth and asked.
", if you die, I'll find you an ordinary drummer on a horse, and if you don't play mourning, you will ride a horse and blow a good life!" Zhang Niu replied angrily.
"Damn, I have no conscience!" Mu Cheng rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile.
"Growing up, when my dad first had coronary heart disease, do you know how to go to the doctor?!" Zhang Niu sat up from the hospital bed, reached out and touched the bottom of the mattress, took out two cigarettes, and threw one to Mu Cheng.
"Where did you come from?!" In this month of hospitalization, Mu Cheng had already been suffocated, caught the cigarette thrown by the big cow, put it under his nose and sniffed a few times, and grinned.
"I want it from Ergou!" The big cow rolled over and got out of the hospital bed, sat on the ground, took out a match, and lit the cigarette.
"You smoke first, my sister-in-law will be on duty for a few days, and I will see what is found!" Mu Cheng pressed the cigarette in his hand under the mattress, and tilted his head at the ward and said.
"My dad had coronary heart disease, and at first he thought it was an ordinary disease, so he went to the hospital for a check-up." Speaking of this, Zhang Newen paused for a moment, handed half of the cigarette to Mu Cheng, and continued, "I still can't forget the moment when my dad heard the doctor say that coronary heart disease retreated, my dad took a step back, pulled my mom and walked out with me, my dad said as he walked, it's okay, you can carry it." ”
"......" Mu Cheng wrapped his cigarette and listened quietly.
"Mom is always the most affectionate child, my grandma is reluctant to spend money for most of her life, I have not received my grandmother's New Year's money, not to mention the usual pocket money, my grandma doesn't know where to listen to the letter, gave my cousin-in-law 3,000 yuan, let my cousin take my dad to see a doctor, my dad cried in the house that day, and the next day his eyes were red and my cousin went to the hospital, you said that God can be a scourge, but a month my grandma found out cerebral infarction, The fare from us to my grandmother's house was five dollars, and my dad didn't even have five dollars at the time, so he rode his bicycle and walked from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to my grandma's house. Zhang Niu tried to control his emotions when he spoke, so as not to let himself cry.
"......" Mu Cheng extinguished the cigarette butt and hid it under the mattress, walked to Zhang Niu's side, gently patted Zhang Niu's shoulder and did not speak.
"From that day on, I vowed to let my dad eat and wear without worry, so that my dad could live a little more comfortable for the rest of his life!" Zhang Niu took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling, and continued, "In the past, when my dad returned to the village, everyone looked down on him, and no one understood who my dad gave to smoke, even my uncle, now I can earn money, and I leave enough money for food and drink every month to save myself, and all the rest of the money is sent home, and the people in the village know that I am mixing well now, and my attitude towards my dad is also a big change, and the society is so realistic." ”
"Mother is more expensive than child, that's the reason!" Mu Cheng sat beside Zhang Niu and said in a firm tone.
"Knowing that I'm a good mix, many people came to the door and asked my dad to ask me to introduce jobs to his children, Chengzi, do you think it's ridiculous?!" Zhang Niu laughed self-deprecatingly, and Shen Yin choked slightly.
"I'm sure we're going to get better and better!" Mu Cheng knew that these words had been held in Zhang Niu's heart for a long time, so he offered a word of comfort.
"Well, for sure!" Zhang Niu nodded heavily and responded.
"I heard Brother Jie say, Brother Hua's family background doesn't have to be good, Brother Hua's father was in a car accident, Brother Hua was beaten twice when he asked the perpetrator for money, at that time, Brother Jie followed Xie Yuming, a popular disciple under Xie Yuming, Qiao Jian helped Brother Hua give money to come out, Brother Hua gave all the money to the family, didn't go to college, came out alone, this year's situation, you see Brother Hua has a foot bath, a transportation line, and our brothers, our brothers have no trouble together!" Mu Cheng leaned on the edge of the bed, still looking at the white ceiling and said.
"Hmm!" Zhang Niu touched the wounds on his body and replied softly.
"Let's sleep, I don't know what's going on outside during this time!" Mu Cheng got up and went back to the bed and spoke.
"I have to deal with Pang Jingming when I go out!" Zhang Niu covered the quilt and said solemnly.
This night, Zhang Niu, a person who is not good at words, told Mu Cheng what was in his heart, not that Zhang Niu was pretentious, Zhang Niu had not found a listener for so many years, and he had been holding back for a long time, so he naturally needed to tell and release, Mu Zijie's patient listening was what a brother should do.
In life, we don't encounter all kinds of ups and downs, all kinds of unhappiness in life, a day of busy work in the company, back home is still facing all kinds of problems, this is a man's responsibility, but also a man's responsibility, but men are also people, will be tired, can not be like a woman to be coquettish, can not be like a woman unhappy can cry out, men have to resist, you can bear it and have to resist, you can't bear it even more.
Many people will smoke a cigarette downstairs before going home from work, this cigarette is to release those negative emotions in their hearts, not to bring negative emotions home, not to let their families worry about themselves, a cigarette, five minutes of time, it has become a man's self-regulation time, this is our life, but also what we need to face at all times.
