Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"I want to go to Tengyang Mall."
Li Xiang rarely found time to make an appointment with Mr. Qiu to go shopping today, planning to buy seasonal clothes and some household items for his parents and himself, Mr. Qiu drove to the direction of the shopping mall where Li Xiang usually shopped, and halfway through, Li Xiang asked Mr. Qiu to change the route, and wanted to go to the Tengyang shopping mall where he bought birthday gifts for Mr. Qiu's mother before.
"Okay."
This shopping mall is a high-end shopping place in the city, Li Xiang usually buys clothes and generally identifies a few mid-range clothing stores, no matter how much he doesn't listen, Qiu always heard that Li Xiang was going to Tengyang shopping mall, and turned around at the intersection, and his heart was still happy, thinking that she was finally willing to invest in herself.
"I want to go to Deng Ling."
After Li Xiang met Deng Ling in the underground parking lot of Tengyang Shopping Mall last time, the intimate scenes with Deng Ling in high school often came to mind..... Now that she is working part-time everywhere, Li Xiang can't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, the "Ideal Castle" is recruiting, there must be a suitable position for Deng Ling, she wants to do her best to help her, at least give her a relatively stable job.
......
"She's gone."
Li Xiang decided to come to Deng Ling temporarily, without prior contact, and when she arrived at the underground parking lot, she pounced, and a guy in her 40s said that she had resigned last month, and they didn't know the reason.
"Does she have any other calls?"
Li Xiang picked up the phone in disappointment, dialed the phone number given by Deng Ling last time, but it kept turning off, she turned back to the maintenance shop, and wanted to ask if Deng Ling had other numbers, and the reply was that they had been looking for her, and what she knew was the one Li wanted to call.
"You're going to find it, let her get paid."
The old guy is in charge here, just two months after coming, he stopped what he was doing, walked to Li Xiang while patting his work clothes with his hands, and said with a regretful face that he was reluctant to leave Deng Ling, she was diligent, neat hands and feet, and enthusiastic about customers... I don't know why I suddenly said that I would leave, the boss didn't keep her salary increase, Deng Ling still had a few days of salary and didn't come to receive it, they were all cash, I hope Li Xiangruo finds her and lets her come to receive it, if it's not convenient, just send a card number to come over, and transfer it to her here.
"Do you know any of her friends?"
Li wanted to ask this, in fact, she wanted to care about whether Deng Ling had a new boyfriend, and if so, she would be a little relieved if she also had someone to take care of.
"She rarely mentions her family and friends, and she never sees anyone come to her, but she often mentions that there was a female classmate who was good with her when she was studying."
"Thank you... Let's go. ”
When Mr. Qiu heard the old man's words, he knew that the female classmate Deng Ling said was Li Xiang, and after he thanked the old man, he pulled Li Xiang to the parking lot.
"Where will she go?"
Li Xiang muttered to herself, thinking that something must have happened to her, otherwise she would suddenly resign and shut down.
"Maybe I'll marry a good husband."
Mr. Qiu is always optimistic when encountering things, and asked Li Xiang not to think nonsense, what can happen to such a big person.
"Zhao Hui, what are you doing?"
Li Xiang was still not at ease, so she called her classmate Zhao Hui, who usually had more contact with her classmates, and perhaps knew Deng Ling's recent situation.
Zhao Hui was excited on the phone, saying that Li Xiang is now a celebrity and has not been in touch for a few years, and now he takes the initiative to call, whether he wants to have a dinner.
Li Xiang kept listening to the machine gun on the other end of the phone, talking about this and that enthusiastically, but he didn't mention Deng Ling, and he wanted to ask about business several times, but he didn't continue.
"Hey, do you know where Deng Ling is?"
Li Xiang was a little anxious, and interrupted Zhao Hui's words in an aggravated tone, she didn't make this call to talk about the past, she just wanted to inquire about Deng Ling.
"Eh, I don't know why she's so miserable..."
Li Xiang finally heard the point, it turned out that Deng Ling's father was seriously ill and came to the city for treatment for a while, and the money was spent, but it didn't get better, so he was transferred back to his hometown hospital, and now he is still in the hospital.
Li Xiang hung up the phone in a hurry, she couldn't calm down in her heart, she only blamed her fate, thinking that her experience was tragic enough, but she didn't expect Zheng Ling to have such a bad time, she thought about the time, the last time she saw Deng Ling, her father should have been treated in the hospital in this city, but she didn't say a word, while going to work, she also went to the hospital to take care of her father...
When she was a child, Li Xiang often went to Deng Ling's house to eat her father's ice powder, and every time she went to her house, there were a lot of delicious food.
"Do you have any important plans for the afternoon?"
Li Xiang looked at Mr. Qiu, hoping that he could accompany him back to his hometown, she was concerned about Deng Ling, and her heart could not be calm at all, this kind of mood can only be experienced by people who have experienced a serious illness of their loved ones.
Mr. Qiu agreed to Li Xiang, and the two went to Li Xiang's hometown, the county hospital is so big, as soon as they go to the inpatient department, they can inquire about Deng Ling's father's ward.
"The mountains and rivers are beautiful, so beautiful."
Mr. Qiu saw Li Xiang's melancholy face, wanted to distract her, and found words to talk to Li Xiang all the way, and after arriving in Li Xiang's hometown, she praised the natural scenery of Li Xiang's hometown, but unfortunately she had never been here before.
Li Xiang echoed and briefly chatted about the customs of his hometown, but he didn't expect Qiu to always go to Li Xiang's hometown for the first time in this situation.
"12 beds"
After Li Xiang and Mr. Qiu arrived at the hospital, they didn't know what disease Deng Ling's father had, they only found the name, and the two asked next to each other on the first floor of the inpatient department, and when they arrived on the fourth floor, they finally knew that Deng Ling's father had a cerebral hemorrhage.
When the two arrived at the door of bed 12, they saw the back of a woman, she was holding a bowl to feed Uncle Deng who was lying on the hospital bed, that woman was Deng Ling, who was much thinner than two months ago.
"Deng Ling."
Li Xiang watched silently at the door for a long time, her eyes were moist, and she called Deng Ling in a choked voice.
"You... What are you doing here? ”
Deng Ling turned around and saw Li Xiang standing at the door, so excited that she almost couldn't speak.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Li Xiang walked to the bed, said hello to Uncle Deng, and said a few words of greeting, Uncle Deng has been paralyzed in the past few days, and he is talking to Li Xiang with his mouth open, but Li Xiang can't understand it.
Li Xiang dragged Deng Ling to the aisle and blamed Deng Ling for why she didn't tell her about Uncle Deng's illness, Uncle Deng watched Li Xiang grow up since he was a child, and he was half a relative.
"It's not a big deal, I can do it..."
Deng Ling has always been positive and cheerful, but in Li Xiang's opinion, she is forcing a smile, and she also feels guilty about the harm she caused to Li Xiang back then, and she did not forgive herself.
