One-hundred-nine
The rice cooker that didn't work inexplicably in the morning was inexplicably running normally again. Shi Jiaojiao boiled the porridge in the pot, and went to the glass bottle to fish out some mother's pickled lettuce and carrots. Although she only slept for three or four hours, Shi Jiaojiao woke up more neatly than ever today, and she didn't have the pain of getting up like a war at all.
Her room is separate from the main structure of the bungalow and connected to the kitchen, so she can catch up on her homework while listening to the porridge in the pot through the curtain. By the time the English homework was almost finished, the porridge was almost cooked. Shi Jiaojiao went to the cupboard and took out three eggs, and was just about to crack them on the edge of the bowl, but after thinking about it, she hesitated.
At this time, Shi's mother walked into the kitchen with unkempt hair, was startled by her daughter, and asked, "What are you doing?" Shi Jiaojiao raised the things in her hand and asked, "Mom, can Dad eat scrambled eggs?" Shi's mother smelled the porridge, looked at the cut pickles, and then looked at her daughter's well-behaved eyes, her eyes were full of reassurance, and said softly: "The doctor didn't say that he couldn't eat it, but the eggs seem to be made, so let's not fry them for him." Shi Jiaojiao lowered her head in embarrassment, "But Dad needs nutrition......"
Shi's mother came over and took the eggs in her daughter's hand, cracked them neatly, went out to pluck a few shallots, and said, "You also need nutrition!" There's me, good boy. Shi Jiaojiao's nose was so sour, she looked at her mother's back waving a spatula, hugged it, and said in an urn voice: "Mom, I'm sorry." The woman forced a smile at the corners of her mouth, continued to scramble the eggs, did not speak, just took out her left hand and gently patted Shi Jiaojiao's hand around her waist.
As the mother and daughter were talking, the sound of dragging footsteps came from the hall, and Father Shi, shirtless, half-opened his left arm, walked to the kitchen step by step, and shouted, "What do you want to eat for me?" As soon as Shi Mama's vegetables were halfway served, she immediately threw the spatula back, and jumped to her feet in a hurry, "Why did you get up!" What to do if the wound is ruptured! Don't come here, it's hard to get infected with oil smoke! Shi Jiaojiao raised her hands and wanted to go up to help, but looking at those red scars, she didn't know where to start, and said in shock: "Dad, be careful, now is not the time to be a hero!" ”
Father Shi shrank his head, "You guys are making too much fuss!" It's already healing, otherwise the doctor wouldn't have let me back. I'm so tight in my chest that I'm going to throw up! As he spoke, he raised his right hand and stretched it out to his left shoulder, and then clenched it into a fist in pain and put it down, his facial features were almost squeezed together, and he wailed at his wife: "It's too itchy! But the action is big and it hurts to the heart! Mother Shi frowned tightly and said, "Bear with me, I'll blow it to you in a while." ”
"What's the daze, eat quickly, I'll be late for a while!" Mom added porridge to Dad, and reminded Shi Jiaojiao by tapping Shi Jiaojiao's bowl with chopsticks. Shi Jiaojiao looked at her parents, and became more and more confused, why the atmosphere was completely different from when she came back yesterday! Shi Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and said timidly: "Dad, you have to believe that I definitely hope that you are healthy." When Dad Shi waved his chopsticks, he pulled the tender meat on the outer edge of the squeaky nest, and he grinned in pain, but he quickly picked up his daughter's words, "I have something to say directly." ”
"I ...... I thought you were going to ...... yesterday ......" Shi Jiaojiao thought about it, closed her eyes and said, "You're going to leave us forever!" After speaking, he didn't dare to open his eyes. The couple glanced at each other and smiled bitterly. Dad Shi pretended to be relaxed and replied: "Yesterday, the leader was here, so you can't behave too seriously, so the company will subsidize more, after all, ......" Dad Shi was still laughing, and his eyes dimmed as he spoke, "I can't get on the boat anymore." I don't know what else to do from scratch......"
Shi Jiaojiao's eyes bent unconsciously, in fact, she didn't hear the words at all, she only knew that her father was burned, but it wasn't as serious as she thought, this was really lucky! Thinking about how she lost her soul last night, Shi Jiaojiao felt ashamed of herself.
And my mother's eyes are as dim as my father's, her worries are the same, what will she do in the future? If you look closely at Daddy Shi's left hand, you will clearly feel that the thumb and index finger have been maintaining a strange bending angle, that is because the nerves have been burned, and the wounds on the flesh and skin can be healed, but these two fingers are no longer flexible!
In addition, the other victim of this oil pipe burst was more seriously injured than Daddy Shi, and he was in a coma in the hospital for a day and a night before waking up. Daddy Shi and this person refueled at the same time, but Daddy Shi made a mistake, the increase in viscous hot oil was too large, and the aging oil pipe could not withstand the pressure and burst! Although Father Shi was also injured, he, as the main operator of the cabin at that time, was mostly responsible for the accident.
Because the accident was covered by insurance and the captain interceded with the shipping company, the company did not pursue the public liability of the two men, nor did it ask for compensation for the damage to the engine room. But the damage caused by this incident to his colleague and the family he had just formed, Father Shi had no way to escape responsibility. On the phone that day, he asked his mother to give almost all of his savings to the other party's wife who was holding her young son.
Nerves that can't be recovered, savings that have been completely emptied...... These invisible but the heaviest blows, the husband and wife chose not to tell their daughter. In fact, they know very well that sooner or later, their daughter will notice: maybe in the summer, they will find that their father will no longer be able to weave a delicate firefly lamp; Maybe in the New Year, I found that my mother no longer mentioned waiting for Jiaojiao to go to college, so she went to the town to buy a new house...... There are too many clues.
But this is Shi Jiaojiao's parents! They always think that if this is a painful thing, then let the child notice it as late as possible, and then face it when she is old enough to face it...... Some people say that people and death are separated by the two rivers of father and mother, but in fact, people and suffering are also separated by parents.
At the same time, people and growth are separated from parents most of the time.
In class that day, Shi Jiaojiao miraculously did not doze off for a second, even in the second political class in the afternoon, this normal situation has to be sleepy, Shi Jiaojiao did not feel sleepy. She just felt dizzy, and she couldn't read the words on the blackboard all day, and she couldn't listen to what others were saying.
"Mom! How hard you work! Even if you want to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, this is too early! Pan Xuemei went to the toilet and passed by Shi Jiaojiao's seat, stretched out her hand to hold her face and mocked. Shi Jiaojiao drooped her eyelids, reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, and said, "How is it, I just wanted to study last night!" A curious female classmate passed by, and Pan Xuemei turned Shi Jiaojiao's face to the girl and said, "Look, she doesn't look like she's going to die!" Shi Jiaojiao was squeezed, so she had to roll her eyes in protest.
