Chapter VII
Uncle Sun said, "Master, if you leave, what if the second lady knows the truth one day?" Her favorite father and mother have left, the man she wants to marry the most is gone, and everything has changed in her world. ”
What I know, in fact, I know, but I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to tell Shuang'er the truth, I don't have the courage.
It's just that I selfishly think that I am hiding it from Shuang'er, but it's actually very good, and Shuang'er is still the same as before.
But is this really the answer Shuang'er wants?
I don't know, and I don't know.
I looked at Shuang'er and was still reading a book, but this time it was in the pavilion next to the lotus pond. Shuang'er watched me go, put down the book, and walked towards me, "Dad? How do you remember this? ”
I said, "Seeing that you are here alone, I want to talk to you." ”
"Shuang'er is not a child." Shuang'er took my hand, and I walked step by step to the pavilion and sat down, and she sat down beside me.
Shuang'er smiled and said, "I always feel like I haven't been here for a long time, I remember that I only came here yesterday, and there were petals at that time, and now there are lotus flowers." Is this year's lotus pod growing so fast? ”
I replied, "yes, I don't know how." ”
In fact, it took a few weeks for these lotus flowers to bloom and form a lotus pod, but for Shuang'er, it was only a short day or two. All she remembered was that time.
Autumn is coming, the lotus flowers form lotus canopies, in fact, Shuang'er pays a little more attention, she will find that in fact, not only the lotus flowers have formed lotus canopies, but even the originally lush trees seem to have lost a lot of leaves, some yellow.
Whether Shuang'er didn't notice it, or deliberately didn't say it, I can't guess.
Occasionally, there is a gentle wind, and there is less summer heat in the wind, and there seems to be more autumn freshness.
How long can I keep it a secret? What will happen to Shuang'er when she learns the truth?
Shuang'er looked at me with a somewhat wrong expression, and asked softly, "Dad?" What's wrong? ”
"I always feel a little cold, what do you think?" I said, looking at Shuang'er, who was still dressed in the middle of summer, but it had actually begun to enter autumn.
Shuang'er frowned and said, "Dad said this, Shuang'er really felt a little cold, strange, did this year's autumn come so early?" ”
I didn't dare to speak, I just stood up, and suddenly felt dizzy, Shuang'er hurriedly stood up and supported me, "Dad!" ”
I was helped by Shuang'er to sit down again, and it took me a while to rest before I recovered.
I felt another smell in my throat, but Shuang'er was by my side, I couldn't tell Shuang'er these things, I held back the feeling and forced it down. Finally, he smiled at Shuang'er, "Dad didn't stand firm, which made Shuang'er worried." ”
Shuang'er ignored my arguments and asked, "Is Dad sick?" I feel that my father's face is much worse than before, is it because he is not feeling well or something? ”
I shook my head and said, "Shuang'er, Dad is fine." Shuang'er frowned and hurriedly said, "Dad, you are a liar!" Dad is fine, how can he suddenly faint while standing! Dad, don't lie to Shuang'er! ”
I looked into Shuang'er's eyes, Shuang'er's eyes were full of worry, and I sighed softly, "Dad is fine, but Dad is old now, Shuang'er, Dad is old, that's why it's like this, Shuang'er understands?" ”
Shuang'er lowered her head and didn't say a word, but her hand was still holding my hand, unwilling to let go.
I understood that Shuang'er was worried about me, so I patted Shuang'er on the head and said to her, "But Daddy's Shuang'er hasn't married yet, Dad hasn't seen Qing'er give birth yet, Dad won't leave so soon, Shuang'er don't worry." ”
Shuang'er hugged me with red eyes, with a slightly nasal voice, and said, "Dad, don't scare Shuang'er, Dad, don't scare Shuang'er." Shuang'er hasn't married yet, and Dad still wants to watch Shuang'er become his own son, Dad doesn't want Shuang'er so soon. ”
I patted Shuang'er on the back and said, "Don't worry, Shuang'er, Dad won't leave Shuang'er so soon." ”
It's a lie, Shuang'er, Daddy is sorry for you.
Dad can actually feel that his body is not as good as before, Lian'er is dead, Qing'er is married, and Dad's concern is only you.
Dad also wants to watch Shuang'er get married, watch Shuang'er give birth, watch Shuang'er's child grow up, call me, but Shuang'er, Dad is tired now, what should I do.
Dad is very tired now, and he may fall asleep after a while, and he will never wake up again.
I went back to the study to rest, Uncle Sun walked in, sat down beside me, sighed and said, "Master, the second lady told me that you fainted in the pavilion next to the lotus pond." Why don't we get another doctor? ”
I turned my head to look at Uncle Sun, and Uncle Sun's eyes were full of worry. Uncle Sun's hair has turned gray, and his beard has turned a lot whiter. I couldn't say no, I knew that Uncle Sun was worried about me, so I said, "Okay, I will listen to Uncle Sun for everything." ”
Uncle Sun responded, "Eh! Let's rest for a while, master, I'll go and ask the doctor to come! ”
This is the first time I've seen Uncle Sun's back go farther and farther, I rubbed my eyes, but I couldn't see what was in front of me clearly, it seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog.
I can't see or touch it.
I fainted again, until I woke up, I saw Shuang'er frowning, listening to Uncle Sun keep shouting, "Master! ”
When I woke up, I heard the doctor say, "Master Li is still sick with his heart, he is too tired these days, you have to let him pay attention to rest." Master Li is also old, and he is always busy, how can he not get sick? ”
I woke up in a daze, Uncle Sun looked at me and woke up, and said with red eyes, "Master, I thought you would never wake up again, don't be busy if you are not in good health." ”
I looked at Shuang'er and seemed to be red-eyed, I wanted to touch Shuang'er's head, but Shuang'er didn't turn around, "Didn't Dad say it's okay?" Why do you always faint when you're fine? Dad, I am your daughter, you don't have to hide everything from me. ”
I sighed and said, "It's not good for my father, but your mother has returned to her parents' house, these things are piled up on my father, and my father is also old, and it is normal to do this occasionally, don't worry." ”
Shuang'er said with red eyes, "But I always care about my father, I hope my father is good, money is as important as your body." ”
I said "Dad is wrong" for a long time, Shuang'er's face softened, and he said softly: "Dad, you have to remember to pay attention to your body in the future." ”
I nodded in agreement and reached out to stroke Shuang'er's face.
Shuang'er, in fact, Dad's time has not been long, I'm sorry.
Daddy may be leaving you.
But I, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet. I haven't seen my children become my own sons.
The next day I could feel that my spirits were surprisingly good, and I was no longer covered with a thick fog when I could see, and I was walking much brisker.
Shuang'er just thought that I was cured, and still looked at me with a smile, in fact, I knew that my days might be over.
Uncle Sun just looked at me silently, I could feel the sadness and sadness in Uncle Sun's eyes, but I didn't dare, I didn't dare to talk to Uncle Sun, I was afraid that a mouthful of tears would not help but flow down.
