Chapter 190: Alice by the Sea
"Come, Nian Xue, let me introduce you, the one standing next to my father is Uncle Lynch, you have to greet him well when you meet him in the future." Nian Xue looked at Lynch, leaned towards his side, and then pinched her nose and retracted.
"It stinks, uncle's body stinks." From last night to now, Lynch couldn't tell how many cigarettes he had smoked, and he naturally smelled of smoke on his body, and when he heard Nian Xue say this, he smiled a little embarrassed.
"Then uncle won't smoke in the future, and his body will be fragrant." Lynch felt that this little girl was really cute, and planned to reach out and touch her, but he didn't expect to be avoided by Nian Xue.
Lynch wanted to reunite their family, so he left the ward under the pretext that there was something else in the company, and the family gathered in the ward and talked for a long time.
Under Chen Ruize's consistent insistence, after Sun Cuihua and Principal Chen stayed in the hospital for more than a week, let the car from Lynch's company send them home, Principal Chen naturally knew what his son meant, he didn't want the two old people and his children to see his last fragile and uncomfortable appearance.
On the night of leaving, Chen Ruize and Principal Chen chatted in the ward all night, and what they talked about became a secret of the two of them, and no one knew.
Since Zhang Xin knew about Chen Ruize's condition, he also made a phone call to Li Tian and handed over all the affairs of the garment factory to him to deal with, and he had to take care of Chen Ruize wholeheartedly.
After sending the old man and the child away, Zhang Xin rented a small villa by the sea according to Chen Ruize's meaning, and the two bought groceries every day, took a walk on the beach, and lived a two-person world. Zhang Xin tried everything to make up for her previous regrets, and she bought a piano in a musical instrument store and put it in the living room.
Chen Ruize's right hand has also recovered almost completely, although it is not as flexible as before, but it can still play a piece in its entirety.
"Quick, get up, have breakfast!" Zhang Xin got up early today, made a hearty breakfast for Chen Ruize, saw the time, returned to the bedroom, and woke up Chen Ruize, who was sleeping.
Chen Ruize stretched his waist, under the urging of Zhang Xin, he hastily washed his face, and sat down next to the dining table, there was just a rainstorm yesterday, and now the dark clouds have receded, the sky is cloudless, and the warm sunlight is sprinkled on his face, making Chen Ruize, who originally had no trace of blood on his face, look a little more energetic.
"Come, eat! After eating, take the medicine! Zhang Xin put the medicine prepared by the hospital in front of Chen Ruize and asked him to take the medicine as soon as he finished eating.
Although Chen Ruize promised, his brows furrowed slightly, and after eating, Zhang Xin handed him a glass of water, turned around and went to wash the dishes, and didn't care about Chen Ruize's small movements.
From nine o'clock to eleven o'clock in the morning, it is the time for the two of them to clean, Zhang Xin took the broom, planning to clean the house inside and out, when she cleaned the sofa in the living room, she suddenly found a small paper ball under the sofa, she felt a little puzzled, so she took it out and opened it to see.
Unexpectedly, this was the pill she forced Chen Ruize to drink every day, she was so angry that she immediately ran to Chen Ruize and smashed the medicine on his body.
"Tell me, what are these? Why, why don't you take your medicine well, didn't you promise me to live a little longer? Didn't you say you wanted to be with me?! What do you mean now, are you annoying me? ”
Chen Ruize looked at the pills scattered all over the place, squatted down silently, and picked them all up one by one. Zhang Xin couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart anymore, slammed the door hard, and ran out.
Chen Ruize asked the doctor before what the side effects of taking these drugs would be, and the doctor told him that although these drugs have a very significant effect on curbing tumors, the side effects are also very large, and long-term consumption will lead to memory deterioration, and he will not even recognize his relatives.
Chen Ruize would not accept that he had forgotten Zhang Xin no matter what, he didn't want to go to the end, and he couldn't even remember the person he loved the most in his life, so he secretly hid the pills and pretended that he was taking medicine on time every day, in order to reassure Zhang Xin.
Chen Ruize packed up his things and looked around the house without seeing Zhang Xin's figure, but the vegetable basket at the door was gone, so Chen Ruize guessed that she must have gone to the nearby market to buy something, so he changed his heels and went out.
As soon as I came to the vegetable market, I saw Zhang Xin bending over and bargaining with a small vendor.
"Auntie, I heard over there that your same tomatoes are a dime and a catty, why have you become a dime and a dime?" Zhang Xin carried a basket of vegetables, like a housewife.
"If it's cheap over there, you can buy it there, you little girl don't know how to pay it back!" The little trader glanced at him, Zhang Xin was originally angry in his heart, but now when he heard such a sarcasm, he was naturally angry.
Chen Ruize felt that Zhang Xin was going to quarrel with the vendor, so he immediately ran over, handed the vendor a dollar, and put the two tomatoes in Zhang Xin's hand into the vegetable basket.
"Auntie, this is a dollar, don't look for it." After speaking, he pulled Zhang Xin out of the vegetable stall. Zhang Xin was still angry with Chen Ruize, snatched the basket and held it in his own hands.
Chen Ruize obediently followed behind her, wanting to talk to her along the way, but Zhang Xin didn't talk. Because it was already a harsh summer, the wind on the beach was getting cooler, and the sea water crashed violently against the rocks on the shore, making a rumbling sound.
Zhang Xin only cared about getting angry, completely forgetting to look at the things under his feet, there are a lot of small stones on the seaside, and he will break his feet if he is not careful, Zhang Xin is carrying things today and walking in a hurry, and if he doesn't pay attention, he stepped on the stones.
"Oops, it hurts." Chen Ruize hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zhang Xin's arm, intending to pick her up, but he didn't expect Zhang Xin to struggle, shake off his hand, and limp forward.
"I don't want to die either, I also have a favorite wife, a lovely daughter, and an elderly father, why let me die so early, I still have a lot of things to do, why let me leave so soon!"
Chen Ruize yelled at the sea, shouting out all the words that had accumulated in his heart. Zhang Xin heard his shout, immediately turned his head and walked over, hugging him tightly.
At night, Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize looked at the stars outside under a thin blanket, and the waves came out from afar one after another, Zhang Xin felt extremely calm.
"Hey, I've always wondered why you always rode so fast when you rode a motorcycle to carry me before, aren't you afraid?" Zhang Xin looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, and recalled the previous events with Chen Ruize.
"I'm scared, of course I'm scared, it's not so that you can hold me, otherwise why would I ride so fast." Chen Ruize looked at her with a wicked smile, Zhang Xin suddenly realized and patted him gently.
Chen Ruize felt that his head was a little painful, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart. He slowly rested his head on Zhang Xin's shoulder and pointed to the sky.
"You say, after a person dies, will he become a star in the sky?" Zhang Xin seemed to feel something, held back her tears, and nodded heavily.
"It will surely turn into stars, and watch over the living in the sky." Chen Ruize smiled lightly and shook Zhang Xin's hand.
"After that, you have to tell Nian Xue that her father has become the brightest star in the sky, watching her, making her happy and growing up happily."
Chen Ruize's hands were a little cold, and Zhang Xin put his hand to his mouth and took a hot breath.
"You say, will I be able to see my mother in a while, and then I will definitely play a song 'To Alice' for her." Zhang Xin couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears in her eyes slipped down in an instant.
"Xiao Xin, I want to play "To Alice" with you again, is it okay?" Zhang Xin nodded, got up and helped him into the house, let him lean on his body, and play together.
Zhang Xin was just like Chen Ruize taught her to play at that time, holding his hand and playing note by note.
