Chapter 53: I'll Always Be By Your Side
Finally completed all the formalities, Ding Duo just sat down, and listened to An Feng say: "I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly found that since I left home, I will only go home for two days during the Chinese New Year, and now I have worked for thirteen years, and I have been with them for no more than fifty days in total." ”
Ding Duo wanted to say something, but after thinking left and right, he closed his mouth and held An Feng's hand.
"The last time I went back was during the Spring Festival, I caught up with the crew to grab the camera, and I didn't finish work until the morning of the 30th." An Feng said slowly, as if it was difficult to squeeze memories out of some closed corner.
"When I rushed home, my parents had already fallen asleep, and they thought I couldn't go back, I didn't even make dumplings, and I ate leftovers from noon in the evening."
Ding Duo had never heard An Feng talk about the trivial matters so carefully, and his hands unconsciously clenched tighter.
"My mother said that she didn't notify me because she thought it wasn't a serious illness, but she didn't expect it to deteriorate within two days of being admitted to the hospital. By the time I remembered it, my dad had already passed away, and it was too late. ”
An Feng had never spoken so incoherently, and seemed to think of where to go: "The last time I called back, it seemed to be ...... At the beginning of last month? ”
Ding Duo didn't speak, stretched out his arm to hug An Feng, ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
When she was sad, An Feng felt very warm in her heart when she did this, so she would respond like this.
An Feng took a breath, stretched out his hand to hug Ding Duo, and muttered, "Will my dad blame me?" ”
"No, it won't." Ding Duo said in a firm tone, "He won't." ”
An Feng didn't speak again, just buried his face on Ding Duo's shoulder and didn't say a word.
The return journey was not long, An Feng was silent most of the time, Ding Duo was also in a low mood, and at the same time secretly cheered himself up, she must be strong, ready to support and comfort An Feng at any time, no matter what, she is An Feng's backing, and she must not live up to An Feng's expectations of bringing her back.
An Feng's hometown is not big, it is very small compared to the big city where they live, and the two of them have to transfer to the train and then the intercity bus to get there after getting off the plane, and they will arrive near evening after getting off the plane at noon.
After getting out of the car, Ding Duo couldn't help but stretch.
I don't know what year the bus is, it's small and broken, the seat can't straighten the legs at all, and if the legs are a little longer, you have to keep the cooked shrimp all the time.
She looked at An Feng, expecting to see a relaxed lover, but unexpectedly found that An Feng not only had a heavy face, but also obviously flinched.
"An Feng."
Ding Duo called out and took An Feng's hand when he turned his head to look over.
"Don't worry, I'll always be there for you." Ding Duo squeezed out a smile and took the initiative to carry the luggage: "Let's go, you lead the way." ”
The city is indeed very small, only half an hour's walk to the destination. It looked like a new building, but it was still very small, about 10 floors, not comparable to the 20 or 30 story buildings in the big cities.
Ding Duo was a little strange and asked, "Your father...... Still in the hospital? ”
People who die according to the custom will be sent to the funeral home before the funeral, although the customs in various places are different, but she has not heard of the truth of funeral from the hospital.
"Ah, my mom said there were some formalities." An Feng said absentmindedly, "It's still in the ward." ”
Ding Duo frowned, feeling that something was even more wrong, but looking at An Feng's appearance, he didn't say anything, just followed.
The ward was on the fifth floor, An Feng knocked on the door, heard a female voice from inside and said "come in" and pushed the door in.
Ding Duo didn't dare to follow in, waited at the door for a few seconds, and suddenly heard An Feng roar: "Are you not sober!?" ”
