When I woke up the next morning, my mother was making breakfast in the kitchen when she saw me and beckoned me to wash my face and brush my teeth.

I went through the words I had thought of last night again.

By the time I finished cleaning up, she had already brought two bowls of Yangchun noodles to the table, but mine was a large bowl and hers was a small bowl.

I sat at the table and didn't move my chopsticks, she took two bites and saw that I didn't move, I stopped: "What's wrong?"

"After breakfast today, you go to the hospital with me."

"Silly boy, didn't you say yesterday that you will be guilty of wasting money. It's good that I live at home one day at a time. ”

"If you don't go, then I don't have to eat."

She put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at me helplessly: "Mom knows that you are reluctant, but the matter has come to this point, you don't need to do this, you will still worry me like this."

"If you don't go to the hospital, I won't be able to eat."

"Alas, our family conditions are not good, and it will cost you money to get married soon, I ......"

"You don't have to worry about this money, you go to the hospital, and I'll talk to her about marriage after the New Year, and you will definitely be able to catch up when the time comes."

"It won't be so fast, don't lie to me, are they nodding at home?"

"Ordered, didn't I go to her house on New Year's Day, it was all going well. You go to the hospital with me, one more day is one more day, I just want you to see me get married. ”

When my mother heard this, she was obviously hesitant. I continued, "I know that if it is really at an advanced stage, the hospital will only treat it conservatively, and it will not cost a few dollars, and you will not have to suffer more, and maybe you can relieve a little bit of pain." I can also put snacks and do other things in the hospital, and I don't dare to leave the house at home at all. ”

My mother was silent, and I continued: "Otherwise, when she returns to school after the New Year, I will bring her to see you and call her mother in person, do you agree?"

"Oh, it's a good ......," the mother's voice almost trembled, and she agreed with tears in her eyes, and she could hardly speak.

I asked my mother, "How about we, shall we go to the hospital in a moment?" She nodded as she cried.

After breakfast, I helped my mother pack her things and called a carriage to go to the hospital.

During a check-up at the clinic, the attending doctor was surprised by our calm attitude. He said that he used to tell others that they were terminally ill, either because they were crazy or their family members were crazy, and that he had seen a few calm elderly people, but he had never seen anyone like us talking and laughing.

However, when I went to him alone to sign the autograph, he still told me that the treatment available now is only to reduce the pain, and it may make the patient feel a little bit more rejuvenated, but the survival time will not be prolonged. I nodded, now that I've come this far, I can at least feel better if I can make her suffer less.

After my mother was hospitalized, I stayed in it. I eat the food in the canteen of the medical hall every day, and I accompany her to go out and walk around when I am not happy to lie down during the day, and I am who is in bed at night.

I quietly called the owner of the education bank, and I said that I was going to quit my job to take care of my mother and accompany her for the last stretch of the road. I didn't expect the boss to be very good, and told me that there was no need to worry, that there was not too busy right now, and that I could wait for me to go back to work again, but there was no salary for the time being. I'm already happy with this result.

I told my mother about the situation, and she didn't have any concerns about my work. Whenever she mentioned Xiao Fang, I told her that Xiao Fang was busy with her graduation thesis, and she could graduate smoothly after finishing her thesis. When the time comes, there will be no worries about the wedding. She was also very happy.

And so it went by. On this night, Su Xiaodong, Xu Long and Han Shi were all rarely free on vacation because of the Chinese New Year, and they heard that my mother was hospitalized, so they came to visit together. My mother sat on the hospital bed, but she seemed to be in good spirits, she still talked and laughed with them, and asked them to help take care of me more in the future.

Su Xiaodong said to me: "I'll tell you a joke, now the face of the collector's house surnamed Fan is embarrassed."

"What's going on?"

"The cultural relics in the collection hall have been stolen, several things have been lost, and there seems to be a first-class cultural relic, and the matter is too serious, I heard that it has alarmed the above. My colleague is solving the case, but the security guards of the collection said that he didn't see it, and he is afraid that he will not be able to shirk this responsibility. ”

I smiled after hearing this: "Yes, evil friends are retribution, and now retribution is coming."

Sent the three of them away, and it was time to sleep. We were lying in the ward, I thought that my mother's condition was irreparable, and Xiao Fang's side always made me unable to let go, and the people there did not find them and did not return to school. It really happened to rain overnight, and the two most important women in my life had an accident at the same time, which made me know what it means to be exhausted.

"Wake up, get up." I was awakened by a voice in my sleep, and when I opened my eyes, I found several people in uniform surrounding me, and when I woke up, one of them asked me, "Are you Zhou Hua?"

As soon as I got up, my mind was in a daze, and I replied, "Yes."

"Click." I suddenly had an extra shackle on my hand. Only then did I come to my senses, and I was surrounded by nothing but a group of officials. One of them was holding the other end of the handcuffs.

"Huh? Why are you arresting me? ”

"Be honest, come with us, there will be a saying if there is anything to do."

"You," they dragged me out, and I realized that at some point they had moved my bed out of the ward, "My mother is in the hospital, and there is no one to take care of me, so you can't arrest me." ”

As if they hadn't heard, they pushed and pulled me into the carriage outside, under the watchful eyes of the few emergency patients in the hallway.

"What the hell did I do, why did you arrest me?"

"What did you do? Didn't you count it yourself? You've also been to college, don't you know the consequences of committing such a big thing? "It seems to be the one who is taking the lead and telling me.

"What the hell did I do? You make it clear! "I was so angry and very tough.

"Oh? Still don't admit it? You'll know when you go back to the trial in a moment. ”

I'm not afraid of shadows, I don't believe I can commit any crimes in the infirmary, they must be mistaken. So I sat in the carriage and stopped talking, and when the time came, I just had to testify one by one, and it was not the first time I had entered.

Returning to the familiar interrogation room, I saw several items on the table, presumably artifacts, and they looked a lot like those in the collection.

"What, do you know?" The "chief" who had brought me back just now saw me looking at those things, and asked me.

"I don't know, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, I don't know." As he spoke, he took out an envelope from the drawer, shook out a few drawings from it, and handed it to me: "Do you know this?"

I looked at the crime scene drawings again, and they were all the same, but not on the table, but on the ...... At home? Isn't this my bed?

I tried to suppress my surprise and replied, "I don't know."

"Hehe, you'd better be honest, you've heard of it if you resist strictness."

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Okay, hey, tell him about it." As he spoke, he pointed to a servant behind me.

He started saying, "You stole these artifacts from the collection."

"What?" As soon as I heard this, I got up from my stool, and the people behind me hurried up and held me down again.

"It's all found in your house, not you who stole it." The guy said earlier.

"I've been taking care of my mother in the hospital for the past few days, how could it be that I did it?"

"And how do you explain this thing in your house?"

"How do I know?"

"How do you know, let me tell you, your mother is sick and needs money, you are obsessed, you rely on your familiarity with the collection, bypass the security of the collection, and then steal a few valuable things, but we found out before we could sell the stolen goods. I've always suspected that it was a thief, and sure enough, it was you! ”

"Someone must have framed me, you guys check it carefully, I've been in the hospital these days, and I haven't been home at all!"

"Hehe, your neighbors all said that when they got up that night, they happened to hear you hurrying upstairs at night, and saw through the crack in the door that you were returning home with a bag of things. What are you pretending to be? ”

Neighbor? It shouldn't be, their family hasn't always gotten along well with us, how can they slander me?

"Now all the evidence is there, you are still quibbling, I didn't expect you, a high-achieving student, to do things so without considering the consequences, now you see, the leaders above are all alarmed, not only your face is lost, but the face of our city and your school is lost, take it away!"

After that, the two people in the back pressed me to the detention cell.

I was locked behind the iron gates, trying to digest what had just happened. What does that mean exactly? I stole artifacts from the collection? Seen by a neighbor? How is that possible?

Damn, it has to be him! The surname Fan! deliberately made such a show, and then put a basin on my head, which ruined my reputation and ruined my family. Only this guy wants to do this, and only he can do it.

My heart was on fire all the time, and if I could get out, I would take all my anger out on him.

But I soon knew that at this time, I had nowhere to redress my grievances, and I would face an unknown judgment. My mother was unattended in the hospital, and she must have been very anxious when she woke up and couldn't see me. Xiao Fangren is gone, and even if she shows up, I may go to jail.

It can really be said that he has come to a dead end in life.
