Chapter 1: The Promise of the Afterlife (1)
We've all had that experience.
No matter how much you miss someone, no matter how much you miss this person, it's useless, because you can't see them.
She is like this, she will leave as soon as she says, and she will be resolute. She is heartless, but I don't hate her.
I know what she wants, and that's what she said.
"When I'm seventy years old, we're going to travel around the world, don't lie to me, make up reasons and say no, I won't lie to you anyway."
How could I lie to her? But she lied to me......
"1, 2, 3, 4, the 29th, 30th, and 1st day of the first lunar month, there are still 13 days to celebrate the New Year."
I was flipping through the calendar and counting the days, and somehow, something suddenly came to mind.
A few days ago, my mother asked me to accompany her to the mall. It was a simple request, but I was disturbed by the disturbing things, and I refused in an impatient tone.
I regretted it afterwards, and I thought about buying my mother a new coat to make up for my guilt.
As I thought about it, I shuddered. The heating was on to the fullest, but I was still shivering.
I don't know what's wrong, I'm irritable for no reason. I looked at my phone in annoyance, remembering the call I had with my mother in the morning.
"Wenwen, I haven't seen you for a few days, so I'll come to see you after lunch."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Mom's calls always make me happy, I am the only child in the family, and I have a deep relationship with my parents.
When I was born, my mom was thirty years old.
I was born late, and my sister died before I was born, so my birth made my mother extremely happy, and she has always loved me with her whole life.
We couldn't think about not seeing each other for a day, and this time I was on a business trip, and I didn't see each other for ten days in a row.
Before I got married, I lived with my parents; After I got married, I had my own home, and of course I couldn't live in my mother's house.
Although I can't accompany the second elder every day like before, my work unit is close to my mother's home, so I can go home for dinner. With a two-hour break at noon, I insisted on eating with the two elders and chatting about their favorite topics.
This habit has become a regular rule unconsciously. If I don't come home one day, my mother will come and see what happened.
Why? Because I miss me.
My small family and my mother's family are in the same city, and the distance between the two homes is less than two kilometers. By car, two stops away: walking, 10 minutes.
Because we live close, my mother comes over every other day; It's because she loves me that she doesn't feel tired.
However, she didn't tell me anything for fear of bothering me, such as the surgery ten days ago.
I happened to be on a business trip that day, and my mother repeatedly told me to pay attention to safety, and when I hung up the phone, a sentence came from the receiver, "This is your medicine." ”
Medicine?
I felt something was wrong and asked her how to take the medicine? She said lightly: "Oh, it's cold, it's fine." ”
She said it lightly, and I listened to it uneasy.
When I called again, my mother had already turned off her phone. It wasn't until I came back that I found out that she had an eye problem, and that it was the day she had surgery.
The surgery was a success, my mom was very happy, but I was very angry.
Why is she hiding it from me? Why go to the hospital alone? Why......
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but ask her out loud, "Are you my real mother?" Am I your biological daughter? Did you know I'm worried? ”
Mom didn't expect me to ask her like this, and she opened her mouth angrily and funny.
"How do you speak, you kid? I'm not your mother, who is it? Could it be Juanjuan's mother next door? You must be my daughter, my dear daughter, unless you don't admit it. ”
Looking at my mother's dissatisfied look, I couldn't help but want to get angry.
"Since you know we're mother and daughter, why didn't you tell me you were sick? I am your daughter and I have an obligation and responsibility to take care of you. ”
My categorical words made my mother understand immediately, and she stammered and explained: "You, you are not in good health, I am afraid that you will be tired, and besides, you still have to go to work and take care of the children." ”
"Trouble me? Who am I? I'm your daughter, we're mother and daughter! ”
Mom didn't want to worry about me, and she didn't want me to worry about it, so every time she went to the hospital by herself, she made me even more worried.
I wanted to say it again, but I was soft-hearted by my mother's cautious eyes.
Alas! Mom just wants to make me happy.
In fact, I wanted to see her for a long time, but I was frail and sickly and caught a cold, and I was afraid that I would infect my mother, who had not yet healed from my eye injury, so I could only tell my mother by calling to tell me how much I missed my mother.
It's weird, Mom has always been punctual, and no matter who she meets, she will never be late.
But what's wrong today? Still having lunch at 3 o'clock? She didn't answer the phone, what the hell was she doing......
Between thoughts, my mind became more and more disturbed, and the more disturbed I was, the more I couldn't calm down, so I walked to the table and picked up a fruit candy and put it in my mouth.
In the midst of anxious and anxious waiting, I suddenly remembered that my mother asked me to teach her how to use WeChat, and she said it several times.
After she finished speaking, I taught her how to operate, but she couldn't remember it back and forth, and I didn't have the patience to teach it.
Mom didn't get angry when she didn't teach her, but went to the after-sales service to ask the staff in person. Now that I think about it, I feel like I really shouldn't have it.
Mom is in her sixties, and learning how to operate the function of a smart phone must be slow, and I have no patience with her, so I should really slap myself in the mouth.
There is a way, I can draw a "WeChat usage instruction map" for my mother, so that it will be much easier for her to learn, if you forget which step to look at the picture.
Thinking of this, I immediately found out the paper and pen to write and draw, and used a red pen to mark and explain the key points.
After more than an hour, the diagram was finally drawn.
I looked at the "WeChat Instruction Map" I made by myself, and the guilt in my heart was also reduced.
However, my mother hasn't come yet.
Nothing will happen!
Suddenly, the thought popped into my head, followed by inexplicable anxiety.
No, I'm going back and see!
Hurriedly changed clothes, and carefully folded the "WeChat Instruction Map" into a close pocket. This can't be broken, and I have to let my mother see it.
At the moment when I was about to leave the door, a rapid bell suddenly rang, and I shuddered.
I took out my phone and took a look, and the familiar number came from my father's mobile phone. I just talked to my dad in the morning, exchanged greetings and reported safety, knowing that each other was safe and sound, but why did I call again now? Something's wrong, right?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and my heart beat violently, and the foreboding made me panic.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
I pressed the answer button uneasily, and my hands were shaking unconsciously.
"Wenwen, you go to the emergency department of the city hospital immediately, your mother is a little uncomfortable......"
Dad's tone was as usual, and he didn't feel flustered, but I could still hear a tremor that I couldn't hide.
Although my father didn't say what was wrong with my mother, my anxiety became more and more intense.
