19. Showdown
In the next few days, it is estimated that Chengjia will have a showdown with his father, and it is not surprising that things are very stiff, but Chengjia doesn't talk about it in front of me, and I pretend that I don't know anything.
The only change is that he comes to see me less and less, and there is more silence on the phone, and the occasional joke is reluctant. In the end, I didn't hear from him for two days, and no one answered when I called, so I asked Wang Lei about it, and I asked for leave when I got married.
My heart was completely confused, and after much hesitation, I decided to go to him. There was no one in the dormitory of the family, and when I opened the door, it was very messy, not like his style at all, and it felt like no one had cleaned it up for a long time. I silently helped him clean up the room and sat on the bed waiting for him. I didn't come back until I got married very late, and I was a little surprised to see me in the house, "Jiabao, why are you here?" Seeing the exhaustion on his face and the deep dark blue in his eyes, how long has this guy not slept.
"Got married, is something wrong? You haven't called me in two days. I got up and took the bag from his hand and asked softly.
"My dad was hospitalized and had a sudden stroke, and I have been in the hospital with him for the past few days." Cheng Jia leaned on me and said in a low voice.
"How so? Is it serious? What do doctors say? ”
"The doctor said that it is easy for people to be like this when they are old, but this time fortunately they were sent to the hospital in time, and now there is no major problem, and they have to stay in bed."
“。。。。。。” As a child, I can understand the worry of starting a family, and I don't know how to comfort me.
"Baby, my dad was angry with me, I quarreled with him that day, and he fainted on the ground in anger." The voice of the family is full of self-blame and uneasiness.
I stretched out my hand to hug Chengjia and comforted him softly, "It's okay, it's okay, didn't the doctor say it's okay, don't worry too much, you take good care of your uncle during this time." ”
"Well, Jiabao, I probably don't have much time to visit you recently, you have to be good."
"I know, you take good care of your uncle."
"Bao, I'm tired and want to rest."
"Okay, you have a good rest, the food is in the refrigerator, I'll heat it up tomorrow, I'll go first." Thinking that the family wanted to be alone, I whispered.
"Bao, don't leave tonight, stay with me." Chengjia grabbed me, his expression was helpless.
"Okay, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving." I patted him and hugged him again.
The family didn't sleep well at all, hugging me tightly, like a helpless child with no sense of security. I didn't know what to do to make him feel better, so I could only pat him softly, humming the tune my mother used to lull me to sleep when I was a child, trying to give him some peace of mind.
Tossed for most of the night, the sky was almost dawn, the family finally fell asleep, I touched him with my eyes through the light outside the window, and inadvertently burst into tears.
I got up early, helped Chengjia make breakfast, went into the bedroom to wake him up, and found Chengjia standing alone in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking, the back was so lonely, it was distressing.
I stepped forward, tried to smile, and told him to hurry up and wash up and go to dinner. He nodded, turned like a puppet, and walked into the bathroom. After eating, the family went to the hospital to take care of Cheng's father, although I also wanted to take care of him, but I knew that I was afraid that the last thing my father wanted to see now was me.
