The atmosphere at home became tense for a while, and grandma was not even in the mood to drink water, she wanted Aunt Qin to continue to call the hospital to ask about the progress, but she was afraid that she would be overwhelmed and messed up, so she said no need to beat her several times.

"Grandma, did my aunt have drug allergies before?" Cao Cancan tilted his head and asked.

"I don't know. However, it reminds me of a time before when she seemed to have said something, oops, I can't remember. I don't know if I'm here to try my mind, or if that's true. Since everything has happened, let's bless your aunt and be fine. Oh, by the way, Cancan, help me to the back room, and I'll put incense on the Bodhisattva, quickly. Grandma turned and walked back into the house.

"Grandma, it seems, I haven't heard of incense in the middle of the night. Will it work? Cao Cancan asked tentatively, after all, this kind of religious belief question, her cognition, is also a little heard.

"It's okay, it's okay, the Bodhisattva will understand, disturb her old man so late, she will understand." I don't know if grandma is self-comforting, or if there is such a thing, what grandma said is reasonable, and Cao Cancan didn't say anything again.

Aunt Qin was still standing in place after Cao Cancan and her grandmother entered the bedroom, and suddenly looked up and saw me standing at the door, so she whispered: "Mu Xi, you sleep, it's okay, you sleep with yours." I shook my head. Aunt Qin saw that I was not sleepy, and she also knew that something was wrong in this house, so I couldn't sleep peacefully if I changed it, so she simply didn't say anything.

I saw Aunt Jean take a few steps back, lean against the railing, and rub her temples with her hands, it looked like she should be very uncomfortable. I had the idea of rushing over to help Aunt Qin rub her head, but I stopped thinking about it. For this Cao family, it's better for me to say less and do less.

About half an hour later, the phone rang again. Aunt Qin hurriedly ran down, and sure enough, it was a call from the hospital, and the other party said that Zhang Jing was out of danger of life, and she could be transferred back to the ward after observation in the intensive care unit. Aunt Qin hurriedly relayed the news to her grandmother. When Grandma heard this, she clasped her hands together and kept chanting: "Oh, the Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared." ”

At this time, Aunt Qin suddenly entered the house and took out her bag, changed her clothes, and said to her grandmother, "Mom, I'll go to the hospital." I'll take care of Xiaojing and let Cao Mu come back. He's a big man, it's inconvenient there, and, not good. ”

Grandma nodded hurriedly: "Mmmm, Xiaoqin, you wait a while, let the driver take you there." After that, I was going to make a phone call.

"Mother, no, I'll just take a taxi. It's so late, Lao Liu is probably asleep, don't toss him. "It's good, it's good. Then you pay attention to safety. You go, let Cao Mu hurry back. "Hmm."

After saying that, Aunt Qin went out.

Because Aunt Qin was already thin, and the lights were very dim that night, there was no moon, this dull dark night color made Aunt Qin even more thin, and from the back, it made people feel pity. She walked in a hurry, not knowing whether she was afraid of the darkness of the night, or was in a hurry to dispel the haze that her father had fallen on her heart.

In fact, Aunt Qin didn't really care about the reputation and face of the Cao family, and it was impossible for her to be so concerned about Zhang Jing's affairs, she just wanted her father to come back, she simply wanted him to come back, that's all.

In the early hours of the morning, a car drove in the yard, and when the door opened, it was my father who came in. Grandma didn't sleep, and when she saw her father coming back, she asked, "Cao Mu, how is it at the hospital?" The doctor said it was okay, right? ”

Father's face was gloomy, and he simply replied, and was about to go upstairs.

"Eh, Cao Mu, stop, come here, I'll see, what's wrong with your face?" Grandma's words made me and Cao Cancan observe my father.

"Oh, Dad, what's wrong with your swollen face? Looks like you've been beaten? Who hit you? Yes? ”

"Beaten?" Grandma got up from the couch in a panic and staggered to her father. My father kept my head down, and the more my grandmother wanted to look, the more my father hid. "Cao Mu, what happened? Didn't you go to the hospital? Why are you still fighting? ”

"It's okay, I'm just running into a hooligan." The father's answer was clearly perfunctory.

"Hooligans? Father! In the middle of the night, where did you meet the hooligans? Besides, the security in Nanjing is not as outrageous as you say! Cao Cancan said excitedly on the side. That's true, two points and one line, from home to hospital, driving a car, how happened to run into a hooligan? What's more, my father is not small, and when this rascal sees it, he has to think about it.

"Cao Mu! What the hell is going on! Hurry up! Don't let me be in a hurry! "Grandma was obviously in a hurry.

"It's all said, I met a hooligan." The father's tone was impatient, even angry. Grandma clutched her chest, gasping for air. Cao Cancan was scared when he saw his grandmother so uncomfortable, and while helping his grandmother sit on the sofa, he yelled at his father: "Dad! What the hell is going on, don't you just say no! What do you look like with grandma? ”

Without waiting for his father to reply, the door of the Cao family opened, and before anyone could see him, the voice came first: "I called." Everyone looked at the door, it was none other than the uncle.

"Cao Qi? No, what are you doing here? Can't do anything? ”

"Uncle, why are you..."Before Cao Cancan finished speaking, Uncle asked Mother Liu to take me and Cao Cancan upstairs.

After Mama Liu sent us upstairs, she hurried down. She must be afraid that her grandmother will be angry.

"Say, Cao Qi, why did you beat your brother."

"Why? Why is this, you should ask Cao Mu! ”

"Ask me? You drank too much and came to the hospital and punched me, how do I know why? Father said excitedly.

"Why? Hum! On Zhang Jing's operation sheet, Cao Mu signed it as a family member, who can't sign it, what do you sign? Why did you sign it? Besides, you don't know that Zhang Jing is allergic to metronidazole, you can ask, you don't ask, you sign directly. Who do you think you are? You're just a little brother-in-law! That's called surgery, it's dangerous to operate, and your signature means that you can afford the safety of my family's life? The one lying in the hospital is my daughter-in-law, not your Cao Mu's, that's your sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Have you ever seen someone's sister-in-law have surgery and the brother-in-law has signed? Yes? Uncle's words were hoarse, and I could feel the weight of anger in my words from a floor.

"Ask? Who do I ask? Now that you know it's your daughter-in-law, what did you do when the world was looking for you to sign and couldn't find it? "Father returned.

"Cao Qi, if it's because of this, I have to say a few words for Cao Mu. You see, Xiaojing had surgery in the morning, the hospital was waiting for the signature, and everyone couldn't find you, Cao Mu signed on behalf of him, isn't it normal? Besides, the anti-inflammatory drug was given at night, and the doctor didn't ask Zhang Jing before he hit, it was the responsibility of the hospital. I think it has nothing to do with Cao Mu. It's not that I protect him, it's that I really feel that Cao Mu is not responsible for this. ”

"I'm not discussing the issue of responsibility with him, if you want to say that the hospital didn't ask, I will naturally pay this responsibility to the hospital, Mom, you know that it is fortunate that there is a problem with the postoperative medication, what if it is during the operation? My son, is there no more? In the morning, in order to do something for Cao Mu, the phone couldn't be connected, it was my problem, OK, I admit it. But this slap of mine, I just told him, told Cao Mu, let him have a longer memory, he and Zhang Jing are in the past, and now, that is my daughter-in-law, Cao Chen's mother, anyone can sign, just you, just you Cao Mu can't! The uncle's voice was almost roaring.

"Cao Qi, you drank too much. So go upstairs and go to bed, and wait until tomorrow when you wake up. Upstairs, Cao Mu. Seeing that the uncle was emotional, the grandmother tried to separate the two people.

"Do you think I've drunk too much? I didn't. Let me tell you, Mom, for so many years, since my father passed away, I regret marrying Zhang Jing, otherwise, the Cao family would not be what it is today. What if I hit him? Do you know why I was later transferred from Nanjing to Shanghai, and I took the initiative to promote it? Because, everyone who knows my Cao family's background says that my younger brother Cao Mu can't let go of his sister-in-law! What about me? After my father left, I was the eldest brother at home, and when I heard that Cao Mu had something, you called, did I put down my work and come back to Cao Mu to do something? I'm a big brother, I want to be like a big brother, right? I'm a son, and I want to be like a son, right? I laugh, accompany people, accompany dinners, and I have to accompany others to make a fuss about my Cao family affairs to ridicule me! No one dares to say to their faces, do you think I don't know? Mom, tell me, is it true that I, the eldest brother, also have to tolerate my younger brother to covet my daughter-in-law? What's wrong with me hitting him? Cao Mu is under your nose every day, who is there in his heart and who is not, don't you know? ”

I pricked up my ears upstairs and listened, and when I heard the excitement, I was going to stick out my head and look downstairs, and this look, I saw Cao Cancan in front of me. She looked back at me, her expression was complicated, she didn't say anything, she just turned and went into the house when she saw me.

That night was the first time I saw my uncle open the shell to show his weakness, and it was also the last time. No matter how much he emphasized that he didn't drink too much, but those words that were pressed in his heart did not have the urging effect of alcohol, and they would never be put on the table.

In my eyes, Cao Qi is a warrior in armor, invincible to all poisons. That night, after trying my best to uncover my unknown scars, in the days to come, this handsome and dashing uncle who can go to heaven and earth will also wear a mediocre hat in my heart.

It's just that the uncle's mediocrity is different from his mother and Aunt Qin. The two women had their own dreams of life and sealed themselves in the kimchi vat they brewed by themselves. And what about the uncle? If the fate of my mother and Aunt Qin makes me feel distressed, then uncle, I can only sigh. Although when I grew up, I heard a lot of inappropriate comments about Cao Qi in society, but this man has always been a man in my place. As he said, he is the eldest brother of the Cao family, the half-pair of crutches of his elderly mother, and no matter how well-known his title and status in society, at home, he is the Russian nesting doll who must hide helplessness and loneliness.

Maybe you will ask me, can the uncle get a divorce? Hehe, yes. I thought so too. Later, I understood that if such a man with high emotional intelligence really chooses to divorce, will it hurt more than just the family? When the marriage relationship between the uncle and Zhang Jing still existed, his father never let go of this woman, not to mention that one day Zhang Jing will return to being single?

The philistine heart of the mother and Aunt Qin has the unique weakness of women in it, and there is also kindness, motherhood, and all the seven emotions and six desires that are connected with love. The uncle's mediocrity, compared with them, has more responsibility and dedication.

Later, as I grew up, I tasted these mediocre people who passed by in my life, and it was not difficult to find that these people had a common trait, called kindness.

I often tell others that if you are lucky enough to walk into the hearts of others, you will find that no one lives easier than anyone else.

In this world, mediocre people have never had weapons and battle robes, but they have always had more courage to face reality than others, and this courage is called, life, life.
