Chapter Twenty-Eight: Oversleeping
The air is frozen at the moment, and I just want to be in this environment a little longer.
......
At this time, it was a cordial call from Cheng Yan's mother that broke the calm picture.
I wanted to go to the kitchen to help bring the food out, but as soon as I wanted to get up, my body started to hurt too much. There was no way, in the end, Cheng Yan and her mother were busy.
I looked at the dishes on this table, it was very hearty, but it didn't seem extravagant and wasteful, and the portion of each dish was not particularly large, just enough for three people to eat (of course, I counted the amount of food that Cheng Yan's sister ate as a normal person). Moreover, I also noticed that due to the death of my uncle, Cheng Yan's mother also specially made all the dishes containing chili peppers in the original dish not spicy, so as to avoid the taboo of red dishes in front of the deceased, and also take into account the embarrassment of having a relatively single dish in the kitchen. It seems that Cheng Yan's mother is a good kitchen expert, so it seems that Cheng Yan eats such a figure, which may also have something to do with her mother's practice of knowing a variety of cuisines, but she doesn't know how it tastes like eating.
"Xiaomo, Dan'er, eat it while it's hot." When my aunt advised us to eat quickly, I noticed that at this time, my mother had already helped me bring the food to me.
"Mom, wait!" After speaking, I took a bowl of rice, put a pair of chopsticks on it, put it next to my uncle, and shouted into the air, "Uncle, it's time to eat!" Uncle, it's time to eat! ”
Seeing this, Cheng Yan and her mother also started this "spiritual" work with me, and it felt like the three of us were really like a family. After simply doing this spiritualist work, I also specially put some food on the table for my uncle's little ghost to eat, after all, they are the ones who are really responsible for keeping the spirit, and they can't be treated badly.
Then the three of us went back to the table and started eating. I've noticed that Cheng Yan seems to be starting to restrain her food this time, and while it's good to do so, I'm afraid that if she doesn't have enough to eat, she may be in a bad state tomorrow.
"Sister Chengyan, you are not in a hurry to lose weight, you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, you still have to eat enough!" After that, I also served her food.
Cheng Yan seemed a little embarrassed, she looked at her mother, her mother's eyes were noncommittal, so Cheng Yan hesitated for a while, and began to eat unrestrained. And her mother seems to have been eating a lot, although I also advised her to eat more, she only symbolically ate some meals in the case of graciousness, indicating that she really couldn't eat. As for me, the amount of food is average, but fortunately, Sister Cheng's appetite is good, and there is nothing wasted in this hearty supper tonight.
Seeing that everyone was full of food and drink, I wanted to get up and clean up the dishes, but as soon as I moved, my body hurt very much. Cheng Yan and her mother saw my painful appearance and quickly helped me on the sofa, and then the two of them went to clean up the dishes.
Time was ticking, and I felt like my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
......
"Dan'er-Dan'er, it's time to get up, didn't you say that you were going to the hospital today to take care of a friend who was going to have surgery?" I heard the sound of my mother gently waking me up, and then I slowly opened my eyes. (PS: Please tell me which two-word word means to wake people up, leave a message in the comment area, and offer a reward of 1000 starting coins for the best answer, if there are multiple best answers, give it to the first reader to answer)
"Mom, I'll sleep a little longer!" After saying that, I turned around, but it seemed like I had hit something, and it felt weird...... It wasn't until I opened my eyes that I was startled.
"Wow! Why is my sister in my bed? I asked, horrified.
Cheng Yan's mother explained to me like this: "Dan'er, the situation is like this, you fell asleep yesterday, and Xiaomo and I originally wanted to help you to your room to sleep." But who knows, you suddenly hugged Xiaomo tightly, and didn't let go, shouting to yourself, 'Good sister, don't go, this is my order, don't you even listen to my words?' Maybe you also have a deep affection for Xiaomo, so I won't bother you two young people. In fact, it's normal for young people to be open-minded, and I can understand it when I am a mother. “
Oops, maybe I dreamed last night that I had a ghost. Coupled with the inheritance of my father's sleepwalking, there is such a trouble. Looking at this sleeping sister next to me, I wonder if I forced her to do something to me yesterday that I would want to end up with when I woke up. If the first thing she says when she gets up is "This kind of thing happens, no one wants it!" "Then I'll ...... can only "lead the knife into a fast, live up to the head of the youth".
But no matter what happened last night, I can't die, because there is still Lin Xiao in the hospital waiting for me to take care of.
Lin Xiao ...... "I suddenly thought of the time, no, I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was out of power, so I could only quickly ask Cheng Yan's mother, "What time is it?" ”
"I'll take a look!" As she spoke, Cheng Yan's mother took out her phone, looked at it, and said to me, "It's 8:30." “
After hearing this, I settled down, fortunately, the time was still early, otherwise it would be bad if I couldn't catch Lin Xiao's operation time. "I unhurriedly tidied up my appearance, although my back hurts between my gestures, but at the moment I just want to go to the hospital quickly.
"Mom, I'm leaving, I'll leave the matter of my uncle's cremation to you, and I'll pay for the money when I come back." With that, I was ready to walk out the door.
"What do you say? I brought back your uncle's ashes at noon, and I paid for them first. Cheng Yan's mother looked at me with a strange look and said.
"What? Didn't you say it's 8:30? Why is my uncle's body already cremated?" I couldn't figure it out.
Cheng's mother explained to me, "It's 8:30 p.m.!" Originally, I wanted to wake you up in the morning, but you couldn't call it, and then the hearse downstairs came, and I saw that the urging was also very tight, and I was hugged by you again, so I went to the funeral home to cremate your uncle, and I put the ashes on the altar table in the ancestral hall at home. ”
"I see, it's already 8:30 p.m." I breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately my aunt had finished the cremation of my uncle. I suddenly remembered something, no, I don't know how Lin Xiao is doing in the hospital.
"Thank you, Mom, I'm going to go to the hospital to see my friend now, the situation is urgent, I'll come back to accompany you later, you and Cheng Yan will stay at home first!" With that, I hurried out of the house. I hailed a taxi, quickly got in, and told the driver the name of the destination hospital.
Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, don't let anything happen to you. Although Dr. Huang had assured me of the safety of the operation, it was not his responsibility to do anything after the operation, in case she encountered the eyeliner or ...... arranged by her uncle That's not good. Thinking of this, I immediately asked the driver to speed up as much as possible.
