In late December, the town has gradually entered the depths of winter, and the winter rain has finally sunken for half a month, and the temperature has fallen again and again, dropping to minus ten degrees Celsius. Just like this year's stock market, it is cold into people's hearts and infiltrates into the bone marrow.

For such a family that has difficulty getting up in winter, the most fatal thing is not to get up from the warm quilt to go to school at six o'clock every day, but to get up from the warm quilt and go to school against the cold wind in bad weather.

On the way, you will also be forced to accept the baptism of cold wind, and if you are lucky enough to catch the empty bus, you don't have to brave the biting cold wind to go to school. If you are unlucky enough to catch the rush hour, the carriage is like a canned sardine, crowded not to mention that the air is not circulating.

As Zhongyi struggles to get up from her bed, another question arises, and she has to wonder whether she is riding a bicycle or squeezing the bus.

Whenever this issue is in a dilemma, the alarm always rings appropriately to remind her that she is going to be late for school. And the tangled problem of transportation means naturally comes down with being late for school.

Rushing to the school with a shrunken hush, all the students wrapped in feather long velvet jackets can be seen wandering around the campus, single color, bloated to varying degrees, if it is not for the lower zipper to reveal the school uniform inside, at first glance, Zhong thought that he had entered the down jacket wholesale street.

There has always been an unwritten rule in No. 3 Middle School, how to change the four seasons, school uniforms must be worn! If you don't wear it, you will be regarded as flouting the school rules, and you will either obediently put it on and take the initiative to admit your mistake, or you will wait for the credit deduction, and it will be difficult to graduate after that.

Because the weather is getting colder and colder, it can really freeze into a popsicle if you don't wrap it tightly when you go out, but the school uniform has to be worn, so in order to keep warm, you have to put a few more undershirts in the school uniform, and the school uniform is covered with a down jacket outside, not to mention the bloated, and the collision rate is very high.

In order to stand out in a group of wholesale down jackets, some girls have to pursue beauty and abide by school rules, obviously they can't get off their coats, so they have to start dressing up from accessories, such as a scarf with a characteristic color around their necks to balance out the monotonous color.

Xu Qing's first reaction when she saw Zhong Yi in a pile of wholesale down jackets was surprised! The second reaction, surprise and envy!

She beat her chest and said that she was also wearing a down jacket and wrapped it tightly, like wrapping zongzi, why did she like to be so thin and fresh, and it was very beautiful! But they are like bears, they look like "bears" no matter how they look at them! This is clearly a deliberate attempt to pull hatred.

Zhong was embarrassed, but she didn't know how to answer Xu Qing's "wonderful" question, she just felt that she compared herself to a "bear", and pulled the fact that the girls in the school didn't want to see the most, shouldn't she be the one who hated her.

…………

On February 10th, a peaceful day suddenly came with bad news, and the grandmother of S City, who lived near the small city, was sent to the emergency room due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

With less than a week left before the final exam, Zhong Xiang has devoted himself to revision for the past few days, ignorant of nothing about what is happening in the outside world, like a primitive person who has been disconnected from the Internet for many years, and only formulas and words are left in his brain.

Zhong's father also happened to take annual leave, and after receiving the news, he drove Zhong's mother to S City overnight to visit the elderly. The incident suddenly happened before she had time to tell Zhong Yi, and she was during the exam again, afraid that it would affect her performance, Zhong Mu decided to find a suitable opportunity to speak.

I was afraid that Zhong Yi would be suspicious, so I rushed back from S City that night, pretending that nothing had happened, and prepared breakfast for Zhong Yi as listed. It wasn't until she said that someone in the hospital needed to stay to take care of the elderly, so Zhong's mother lied casually, saying that she and Zhong's father were going to do something and might not be able to come back for a few days, so she asked her to take good care of herself, and told her a few words about taking a good exam, and the car drove directly to S City.

Zhong Yi vaguely noticed something strange from Zhong's mother's demeanor, and couldn't connect Zhong's father and Zhong's mother with the grandmother in S City when they went out to run errands, and it wasn't until the end of the exam that Zhongyi learned from Zhong's mother that his grandmother was sick and hospitalized from Zhong's mother during the phone call.

Zhong's mother also had no intention of hiding it, and told Zhong Yi about her grandmother's illness and the critical illness notices issued by the doctor many times, and there was silence on the other end of the phone for a century, Zhong Mu sighed and said, "Zhongyi, grandma wants to see you." ”

As soon as I had a winter vacation, I began to pack my luggage, bought a train ticket to S City, and left the town to S City with an anxious and uneasy mood.

Sitting on the train, Zhongyi's heart has not been calm, her heart is like a boulder, she can't breathe, and she can't swallow it, so she hangs in her throat, very uncomfortable.

Zhong Yi clearly remembers going to S City to visit her grandmother a month ago, the old man was in good spirits, and happily said that she would make her favorite plum blossom cake next time.

In just a few days, he was admitted to the hospital with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

Zhong Yi has been close to her grandmother since she was a child, and her grandmother loves her very much, and she wants to leave all the good things to her, just Lu Yuchuan's own grandson is not as much as half of Zhong Yi's granddaughter's care. Sometimes Lu Yuchuan would complain with an aggrieved face, saying that grandma only loved him and didn't care about him.

Grandma rubbed Lu Yuchuan's hair with a smile, glanced at him with disgust, and said softly: "Xiaoyi is a girl, easy to be bullied, of course I hurt her more." ”

I like to take the train at 3 o'clock in the morning, I don't have a sleeping ticket, I bought a hard seat, and I met a large number of people who returned home a year ago, and the carriage was crowded and noisy. She huddled in her seat, clutching her duffel bag in her arms, containing her most precious camera, and kept her eyes open until the sun rose at dawn.

After a five-hour drive, the train finally arrived in S City.

As soon as she got out of the train station, Zhong Yi received a call from Zhong's father, asking where she was.

After Zhong Yi explained her position clearly, she stood in place and waited for Father Zhong to come and pick her up. Half an hour later, Father Zhong parked the car and got out of the car and trotted towards her.

"Let's go, your mother is waiting in the hospital." Father Zhong took away the duffel bag that Zhong Yi was carrying, and after a few days, Father Zhong was obviously a lot haggard, and the corners of his eyes were covered with fine lines, it seemed that he had not rested well to take care of his sick grandmother these days.

After getting into the car, Zhong Yi did not mention her grandmother's illness, there was silence in the carriage for a while, she kept turning her head to look at the scenery speeding by outside the car window, Zhong's father was concentrating on driving, and even a word of care was omitted between father and daughter.

The car drove all the way from the train station to the city hospital unimpeded, and after Zhong's father put Zhong Yi down in the inpatient department, he drove the car into the underground parking lot and didn't go up with her.

Zhong Yi looked at the crowd coming in and out of the inpatient department, took a deep breath, walked in with her feet up, walked to the elevator and pressed the door button, after the door opened, she walked in with her feet up, raised her hand and pressed the floor button, and her body pressed against the cold wall to maintain a brief balance.

With a "ding", the elevator door slowly opened, Zhong Yi straightened his clothes, took a deep breath and lifted his feet out of the elevator, walked to the door of ward 203, and pushed open the closed door.

The eyes swept around the ward, fell on the bed by the window, closed her eyes and fell asleep on the grandmother, her eyes were hot, and she didn't let the tears fall for a long time, she gently walked to the bed, pulled the chair on the side and sat down directly, wrapped her skinny hands tightly with her own hands, and looked at the grandmother who had lost a lot of weight in pain.

Mother Zhong pushed open the door of the ward, saw Zhong Yi sitting in front of her grandmother's bed, and called her name softly, "Zhong Yi." ”

Zhong Yi turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at Zhong Mu who was standing behind her, pursed her lips and smiled, and called in a hoarse voice: "Mom." ”

Zhong Mu raised her hand, gently smoothed her frowning brow with her fingertips, looked at her with distressed eyes, and looked at her who had lost some weight after only a few days, and said in a low voice: "Have you eaten?" Grandma has just taken the medicine and has fallen asleep, I'll take you downstairs to have some food. ”

Zhong Yi shook his head, turned his gaze back to his grandmother's old and sick face, held his grandmother's hand tightened, and said in a dumb voice: "Mom, I'm not hungry, I'm accompanying Grandma." ”

When Father Zhong came up, he carried the breakfast he bought, handed it to Mother Zhong, swept his eyes to Zhong Yi, and said softly: "Zhong Yi, eat some first, I will definitely be hungry after a few hours on the train, and when my grandmother wakes up and sees that you look bad, I should feel distressed again." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Yi let go of the hand holding his grandmother, put it back in the quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt again, and then sat back on another empty hospital bed. She had no appetite, and after a few bites, she couldn't eat anymore, and sat back on the chair in front of the hospital bed, quietly staring at her grandmother, who had suddenly aged a lot, and felt pain in her heart for a while.

When she was in the small city, Zhong's mother had already explained her grandmother's condition in detail on the phone, in addition to cerebral hemorrhage, it was also accompanied by high blood pressure, and even heart disease...... If the elderly man in his seventies hadn't been found by a neighbor and sent to the hospital in time, it might have been a different meeting scene.

Even the doctor said that fortunately, the rescue was timely, and if it was sent a little later, he could directly prepare for the aftermath for the elderly.

However, fortunately, grandma is still there.

After five hours on the train, I didn't eat anything, my spirit has been in a highly tense state, and I saw my grandmother's face when she was asleep, not at all like a patient pushed out of the operating room, except for a little sickness, but fortunately, my body functions are gradually recovering, and my heart is completely let go.

As soon as he relaxed, Zhongyi's eyelids began to become heavy, and after yawning a few times, his head began to become groggy and his consciousness was a little blurred.

Mother Zhong gently pushed Zhong Yi, pointed to the sofa opposite the hospital bed, and asked her to lie down on the sofa, and grandma had her take care of it.

Zhongyi nodded, walked to the side of the sofa in a daze, leaned down, felt someone cover her with a blanket, and she quickly fell asleep under the warm wrap.

The room soon fell to peace.

When Zhong woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight shone in obliquely through the window, which was divided into small pieces and projected on the floor, leaving a dappled and fine light and shadow.

She sat up, the blanket she was wearing slid from her shoulders to her waist as she got up, half of it falling to the floor. The heating in the ward was turned on, it was a little stuffy, she looked around, and looked down to see that the down jacket on her body had been taken off at some point and hung on a coat hanger on the side.

Towards her pocket, revealing a dime of train tickets.
