Chapter 21 (1)

When Hexin recalled the old events, she still felt frightened and trembling in her heart. She vaguely remembered that it was a cold morning, Liu Ji was very happy because of the promotion and salary increase, he told Hexin to cook a table of good dishes, and drove to pick up his parents to come over for dinner. Hexin was busy at home alone, although she was tired, she was very happy in her heart. As soon as the first dish was served, the phone rang at home. She wiped her hands off her apron and hurried to answer the phone, but the words on the phone were so strange and the content was so frightening. It was a middle-aged man, and he asked her indifferently: "You are Liu Ji's wife, right?" ”

"Yes." Hexin replied in confusion, and a bad premonition surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but stick the microphone tightly to her ear.

"Your husband has been in a car accident, please come over quickly, the address is in XX Hospital."

Hexin felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her head. She put down the microphone in a daze, and was stunned in place for a long time before she reacted. At that moment, she didn't feel anything in her heart, she just kept saying to herself: "Hurry up, hurry up, go to XX Hospital." "The weather outside was cold, because of the heavy snow the night before, at this time the road was piled up with thick snow, Hexin ran to the road to stop the car, who knew that the car also seemed to be against her, one by one, without stopping. Finally stopped one, Hexin stuffed herself into the back seat and shouted at the driver: "XX Hospital!" Fast! The driver stepped on the accelerator without saying a word, and the car sped off on the road.

Hexin trembled all over, and her body wrapped in a thick down jacket broke out in a dense layer of cold sweat. She only felt scared at this time, and she kept imagining what Liu Ji was like when he was in a car accident and what he was like in the hospital now. Her heart was twisted into a ball, twitching as if she were in a nightmare. "Is he still alive?" This sentence flashed in front of her eyes like lightning, and her breathing almost became stagnant, just a mechanical shout: "XX Hospital, hurry!" ”

The car sped past the snow-covered buildings on the side of the road, and soon stopped in front of the gate of XX Hospital. Hexin trembled and paid the fare, got out of the car and stumbled forward. She didn't know which ward Liu Ji was in, and she didn't know where to find him, so she rushed into the hospital gate and shouted, "Liu Ji! Liu Ji! ”

"Hey!" A nurse dressed in white walked over with a displeased expression, "Don't make a lot of noise in the hospital. ”

As if she had seen a savior, Hexin grabbed the nurse's arm and cried, "What about Liu Ji? What about my husband? ”

"Liu Ji?" The nurse was staggered by her, but still patiently asked, "Is it the patient who just arrived?" Without waiting for Hexin to answer, she hurriedly pointed in the direction of the emergency room and said, "Over there, calm down, I'll take you over." ”

Hexin gasped for breath, she felt nervous, and her hand holding the nurse tightened unconsciously. She was afraid to see some scenes, and the smell of cold disinfectant water in the hospital irritated her nasal passages and made her almost nauseous. There were two policemen standing at the door of the emergency room, and when they saw her coming over, they hurriedly asked, "Are you Liu Ji's wife?" ”

"Yes." Hexin replied tremblingly.

"Your husband is in first aid, but don't worry, the doctor just came out and said that it is not life-threatening." Seeing that her face was pale and she was about to fall to the ground, the policeman hurriedly grabbed her arm and said.

Hearing the words "no danger to his life", Hexin's eyes widened as if in a dream, and he asked, "He won't die, right?" ”

"No, it won't." The policeman patiently replied, "You have to go through some medical procedures now, can you do it now?" ”

Hearing the police's assurance, Hexin's consciousness became a little clearer. She sat blankly on the chair in the doorway and muttered, "I'm going to wait for my husband to come out." ”

"Good, good." The policeman comforted her as he turned back to say something to the other officer. Their faces were full of embarrassment, and they wanted to stop talking, as if they wanted to say something to Hexin. But her expression was so sad and frightened that they couldn't open their mouths. I had to wait for Liu Ji to come out of the emergency room.

As time passed, and it seemed like a century had passed, the door to the emergency room was finally opened, and a doctor walked out while disassembling his mask and asked them, "Who are the patient's family?" ”

"Me!" Hexin hurriedly stood up and took two steps forward, looking at the doctor with expectant eyes.

"The patient's life is not in danger, and he can be discharged in about half a month, don't worry." The doctor said, turning and going in again. Hexin was stunned for a few seconds, and after reacting to what the doctor said, she suddenly felt happy in her heart.

"Thank you, thank you!" She kept bowing, though the doctor was gone.

"That-" the policeman took two steps forward, "there are two more victims in this accident." He lowered his voice, "Are you okay now?" ”

Hexin was still immersed in joy and couldn't extricate herself, feeling inexplicable by the police's sudden questioning, she looked at them blankly, and then nodded.

"According to the judgment at the scene, the two victims are Liu Ji's parents and collided with a minivan......"

Hexin's head boomed, and then she couldn't listen to anything. She has endured three extreme emotions in a short period of time, and she has long been mentally unable to bear it. Before fainting, she only saw the panicked expressions of the police in front of her and the voice of the doctor shouting, but her mind was full of her parents-in-law's kind smile and kind and kind voice, she seemed to see them standing in front of her, and said with a gentle smile: "You have to take care of my son in the future, we will hand him over to you." ”

Hexin was already full of tears, she raised her hand to cover her face, and cried: "They are really good to me, very good, treat me as their own daughter." I really didn't expect anything like this...... Really ......"

Cuiying's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she stretched out a hand and gently patted Hexin's back, but she couldn't say a word. Jiafu's face sank rarely, his eyes were red, and he said after a while: "I have also met them once, they are indeed very good people, but there are unforeseen circumstances...... Alas, it's all over, life still has to go on, and some things have to be let go. ”

"Dad." He Xin shook her head and choked up, "You don't know, when I went to see Liu Ji, he was lying on the hospital bed, with an oxygen tube in his nose, his face was so pale, and he asked me how my father-in-law and mother-in-law were, I didn't dare to tell him, I was afraid that he would have three longs and two shorts, so I had to hide from him that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were fine, but he would also be hospitalized." Laterβ€”" she sniffled and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, "I told him that he was discharged." When he signed the death notice, I really couldn't stand it...... It was the first time I had seen him look like that...... Then he said to me......" Hexin cried again, almost unable to speak, Cuiying wanted not to let her say it, but Hexin looked determined, calmed down the feeling of blockage, and continued to speak, "He told me that he was to blame for this accident, and he had to bend down to pick up the promotion ticket, he was very happy, and wanted to tell them the good news quickly, so he didn't notice the truck coming from the opposite side, and the road was very slippery......." Hexin lowered her head, and her voice became dull," I heard from the traffic police that they were all hit by a human shape - only Liu Ji hit the steering wheel in time, and the truck did not hit the cab...... Since then, he's changed, it's like two people before, I sometimes feel like I'm dreaming, as if I'm just married to him now, and the days I've lived with him before are unreal. Parents. She took Cuiying and Jiafu's hands, "You don't know how uncomfortable this matter is in my heart, I recognized the bodies of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I gritted my teeth before I opened my eyes to look at it." I was so miserable, so depressed, I really couldn't breathe if I didn't say these things, but I didn't know who to say it to. They're so nice to me, so good......." Hexin finally couldn't say any more, she buried her head in Cuiying's arm, and cried out in pain.

Jiafu and Cuiying's hearts were pinched, but they had never experienced such a thing, and although they felt sorry for their daughter at this time, they couldn't empathize with their daughter's pain. Jiafu longed to bear Hexin's pain by himself, and he would rather exchange his life for it. He turned his head and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, it's all fate, God let you go, how can you disobey." It's just that we have to live a good life in the future, and we can't lose the momentum to live because this incident happened. ”

"I know." Hexin kept nodding, "I know, I'll live a good life." ”

"This is my good daughter." Cui Ying choked and touched Hexin's head, "Alas, when I married you off, where would I have thought that such a thing would happen......"

On the steps outside the window, the sun was shining down, and he felt as if his head and body were on fire. She recalled the way she saw her brother-in-law, his expression so cold and machined, as if everything in front of him was something he had to do. After experiencing such a big blow, can people really maintain their enthusiasm for life as always? She couldn't help but be suspicious, and at the same time felt that everything in front of her had become illusory and unreal.

However, the letter that Zhu Hai wrote to her was hidden in her clothes, and she could clearly feel the hardness of the paper and the frantic heartbeat it brought her. The day at Xiuhan's house was so vividly imprinted in front of her eyes that it could not be easily forgotten. All this proved to her that everything in front of her was real, not only the sights, but also the joy, pain, sadness and anger she had endured. They are like the flavoring agent in the meal, making their lives colorful and colorful. He Di exhaled softly, for the first time she felt that life was so beautiful, so worth cherishing, she used to feel that life was boring, but after listening to Hexin's experience, she began to rejoice that she lived so peacefully.

She couldn't bear to listen to the next words, and saw Heyi running towards her out of the door, Heyi hurriedly stood up and made a quiet movement, and pulled Heyi back to the kitchen, "Mom and Dad are talking to my sister, let's not listen." ”

"But you've been listening to it for a long time." He Yi retorted unconvinced.

"I've only been there for a while and haven't heard anything. Well, hurry up and go to bed, and when you wake up later, you have to do your homework. Have you finished your homework? He Tu pretended to be stern and said, "If you don't write about the start of school, you will scold the teacher." ”

"Okay, okay." The corners of Heyi's unconvinced mouth drooped, and he obediently followed his sister into the house and lay down on the kang.

He Tu felt very chaotic in his heart, and he couldn't sleep for a while. After a while, Hexin returned, and she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. He Xin sat on the edge of the kang for a while, and then took off her coat and lay down next to Hexin. Hedi heard her sigh heavily, her voice heavily nasal. "Sister, you must be happy." He Tu said silently in his heart, turned over and hugged He Xin's arm.

In the afternoon, Hexin followed her parents to the field with Herui, and Hedi took Heyi Hefu at home as usual. However, because the two of them are older, they are no longer running around naughtily as they were when they were children, and it is less difficult to take care of them. He Tu only threatened that they would be scolded by the teacher if they didn't do their homework well, and the two of them quieted down and obediently lay on the table to do their homework. She was very satisfied, and after cleaning the house, she saw that both of them were serious, so she went into the back room of the kitchen, put down the curtain on the door frame, took out the letter from her clothes, carefully opened it, and looked at it carefully.

"Hedi:

Hello!

It's been a day since we last met you, and you haven't come back. How I would love to sit with you again and talk to you about what is going on in your house. But I don't know if there is such an opportunity. This question needs to be answered by you, whether you call me or write to me, tell me, okay? Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to sleep at night.

What are you doing now? Are you going to your sister's house? Or go to He Xiuhan's house? No matter who you go to, take care of yourself. I've heard that there are a lot of bad guys and thieves in the city, so you have to be careful when you walk so that you don't get hurt by others. If this happens, you must remember to tell me, even if I don't know martial arts and no one else is strong, I will definitely protect you and avenge you. Haha, this sentence seems childish, right, but that's what I think in my heart, you are a child in my eyes, and you are so thin. By the way, you have to eat well, I think your poor health is caused by not eating well, if we are together in the future, I will definitely make you eat every day, and raise you for nothing.

When will you be back? Write to me if you come back. I go to your house every day, just standing downhill, and I can see you whenever you go out. In order to calm my mind a little, I will stand at the door when I come back, and let me look at you from afar, and I will feel satisfied.

Alas, I don't know what to write, I miss you so much and want to meet you. Words don't always convey what I mean. But no matter what, as long as I can contact you again, I am willing to use any means. It's good, even if it's for me, I'll be good, for you. We must try to live. When you're older, I'll come to your parents and explain the matter of the two of us, okay?

Miss your Zhu Hai"

"What's the matter...... Tell me what ...... clearly," He Tu muttered to himself, but involuntarily showed a sweet smile. She read the brief letter over and over again, and the scene of that night's meeting appeared to her again. Her heart pounded, constantly recalling every subtle expression on his face. How beautiful he is, those eyes, those dimples. He Tu closed his eyes and laughed, not paying attention to He Yi standing at the door, tilting his head to look at her, and asked, "Sister, what are you looking at?" ”

"Huh?" He Tu was taken aback, and hurriedly put away the letterhead, "Look at the letter you sister Xiuhan wrote to me." ”

"Sister Xiuhan wrote to you?" Heyi excitedly shouted, "I want to watch it too, I want to watch it too!" ”

"That's for me, what do you see." He Tu hid the letter and asked with a straight face, "Have you finished your homework?" ”

"I've finished the math, but I haven't written the language yet."

"Then don't hurry up and write it."

He Yi leaned on Hedi's side and said, "I want Sister Xiuhan." ”

He was stunned, then sighed, "I want to too." But I should meet her soon, you have to go to school hard, and when you get into a good university like Xiuhan in the future, you will come to pick me up at that time, and we will go to see you Sister Xiuhan together, how about it? ”

"Okay." He agreed obediently. He Tu smiled and touched her head, and said, "So, you go and do your homework now, if you don't do your homework well, you won't be admitted to a good university, you know?" ”

"Got it." He Yi agreed, turned and ran out. She touched the square of paper in her pocket, and was stunned for a while before she got up and went out.

Supervising the two children to finish their homework, Hedi let them go out to play, and then lay on the table and write a reply letter with a piece of paper torn from the homework book. She first held the pen on her cheek and thought for a moment before she put down the pen and wrote on the paper. Her words are crooked, compared with Zhu Hai's words, they are simply heaven and earth. He Tu couldn't help blushing, and the desire to talk suddenly disappeared a lot. "Forget it, just write a few sentences, and some things will be said when we meet. Otherwise, if I show him this handwriting, he will not be laughed at to death. As soon as he made up his mind, he crumpled up the half-written paper and threw it into the stove door, tore off a piece of paper and wrote it again.
