On Wednesday, Shen Qi and I went swimming. Swimming is her secret to staying in shape over the years. After swimming for more than an hour, I was so tired that I was about to sink to the bottom, but Shen Qi insisted on refusing to leave, so I could only sit by the pool and watch her mesmerizing mermaid fiddle with her beautiful figure in the pool.

It wasn't until I was so hungry that she agreed to accompany me to dinner.

The moment I took out my phone from the closet and turned on the screen, I actually saw that my dad and my mom made twelve calls to me!

I quickly broadcast it back, and my mother's voice came out quickly: "Xiao Lu, where are you?" Something happened to your mother! ”

Five thunderbolts!

"What? What's wrong? ”

"You hurry up to the hospital, they have been sending your mother Zhang to the emergency room for several hours! Your dad and I are in the hospital now! What can I do? ”

"Mom, don't worry about it first, I'll go to the hospital to find you!"

I hung up the phone and turned my head to Shen Qi and said, "Mama Zhang has an accident, I have to go to the hospital now!" ”

Shen Qi was immediately stunned when he heard this, and after shaking his senses, he quickly grabbed his backpack and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

"Okay! Let's go! ”

When we arrived at the door of the hospital's emergency room, we saw my mother with tears in her eyes, she was lying in my arms and chattering: "What do you say is going on with your mother?" It was fine two days ago, and I was still chatting with her, so why ...... today?"

Dad came over and hugged Mom and comforted her.

Shen Qi looked at his father: "Uncle, have you informed Zhang Teng of this?" ”

Dad held Mom tightly as if he were her whole dependent.

"I called him and told him he was rushing back."

Shen Qi nodded, and then looked at me with a sad face. My mind went blank, and I took a few steps closer to the door of the emergency room, only to find that my steps had become extremely heavy.

Time flies very slowly, every second feels like a century.

With a "dang", the door of the rescue room was opened, heavy and bleak. Everyone gathered around, and we all looked eagerly at the sacred doctor who came out of the emergency room, but we had no one to speak, no voice, and there was silence.

"Sudden cardiovascular obstruction, it was sent too late, and we have done our best." The doctor's voice was low and deep.

We've done our best. People are most afraid of hearing such a phrase in the hospital. It is cruel, cruel, sad, pathetic! It means powerlessness and powerlessness.

Zhang's mother's body was sent back to the ward, as if she would be discharged from the hospital in a few days, ironically, she would never wake up.

I approached her body and wanted to hug her, to hug this aunt who watched me grow up. But I didn't dare, I didn't dare because I was afraid that any one of my actions would be a blasphemy against death.

Mom was crying so much that she couldn't stop crying. I know that she is sad that an old friend is gone, and she is also beginning to fear the fragility of life. Dad sat in the hallway with her, and they snuggled together.

I rarely see Shen Qi crying, but this time her face was full of tears.

I sat down, trying to guard her until Zhang Teng returned.

She must not have imagined such an ending for herself. When I was a kid I thought she was the most capable woman and the prettiest of all the mothers I've ever met. When she moved to Tingnan, she brought Zhang Teng alone, and Zhang Teng's father died early, so she did not remarry. She opened a restaurant, changed from buying rice bowls to a high-end restaurant, and moved from a façade under my house to an independent restaurant across the road.

She's literally the definition of the Iron Lady in my mind. But now she was lying there so quietly. She must have a lot of regrets, and she must have a lot of things to say to Zhang Teng, but it's a pity that he took them all away. And never to come back.

After a long time, I heard a rush of footsteps in the hallway. Zhang Teng came in a panic, he saw my parents sitting at the door, so he asked anxiously, "Uncle and aunt, where is my mother?" ”

My mother's heart was even more sour when she saw Zhang Teng, and the tears that she had just wiped away instantly fell again.

Zhang Teng's expression suddenly turned into horror, and then sank down in an instant. He pushed open the door of the ward and watched as Mama Zhang's body was covered with a snow-white cloth. He walked towards the bedside, each step extremely slow.

I stood up and tried to go over and hug him to give him some warmth, but looking at his sad eyes, I stopped and stood there in a daze.

He staggered down in front of the window, as if he had to sit to keep his tall body from collapsing in an instant.

"What did the doctor say?" His tone was calm, but every word was loud.

"Sudden cardiovascular obstruction, it was delivered too late. Zhang Teng ......, "I want to say don't be too sad, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back alive." How could he not be sad at this time? I had to tap him on the shoulder twice and walk out of the room.

After leaving the room, he found that Shen Qi had already walked out, he was facing the wall, his head hung deeply, and the only connection between her and Zhang Teng never spoke again. It's late at night, and I suggest that everyone go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow morning to help. Shen Qi didn't say anything about my proposal, she just kept her head down and kept her original movements. I looked through the lookout window into the room. Zhang Teng's shoulders were towering high. His hands clenched into fists tightly. He didn't lift the white cloth, and I think maybe he couldn't believe it was his pretty and capable mother lying there.

Shen Qi didn't move, and I left with my parents.

Mom entered the house and went into the bedroom, and then Dad followed. I sat on the couch until I watched the sky start to light up outside.

Zhang Teng chose a cemetery with a beautiful scenery for Zhang's mother. The funeral was very simple. With a blank face, he bowed in return to those who had come to mourn.

Shen Qi did not come forward, she bowed deeply towards Zhang's mother's grave far away. She stood so far away that I thought I could only see a black stick. Later, she waited next to my car to catch me back, and I was sure that the black stick was her.

In the evening, my mother did not eat, her high blood pressure was attacked, and she went back to the bedroom early and lay down on the bed. I sat on the couch and chatted with my dad. Later, Dad went to sleep too. I'm still in the living room, unsleepy. Since then, Zhang Teng has no mother. Since then, Zhang Teng has been an orphan.

There are times in this world like this, when you say goodbye, you think it's a simple parting, but how do you know that it's a farewell.

Because I couldn't sleep, I wanted to just go downstairs. I was the only one on the cobblestone road of the community, and there was silence all around. I sat down on the bench and called Shaoyang. I told him that I was very sorry for Zhang Teng, I told him that when I was a child, Zhang's mother was very good to me, and she would think about asking me to try any new dishes in the restaurant, and I was a little girl with very poor grades at that time, she not only did not stop Zhang Teng from playing with me, but also asked Zhang Teng to tutor me with homework. I told him a lot, and I was also afraid that life was so fragile, and one day, death would take away my parents from me like taking away Zhang's mother from Zhang Teng.

Shao Yang just asked me where I was, and then he kept listening to me. I said something inconsequential in fits and starts. Then the lights of a car lit up the whole place I was, and then I saw Shao Yang get out of the car. I ran over and slipped into his arms, and he gently grabbed my hair with his warm palm, and said, "It's okay, I'm here." ”

I felt extra warm in his arms. Looking up into the distance, there was a figure standing alone under the street lamp. I fixed my eyes and saw that person was Zhang Teng. The light of the streetlamp illuminated his shadow so lonely.

I took Shao Yang and walked over to introduce them to each other. Shao Yang motioned to him, but he looked at us expressionlessly.

After a while, Zhang Teng spoke: "I'm hungry, let's go eat!" ”

We walked out of the neighborhood and along the road. It was already early in the morning, most of the stores were closed, and it took a long time to find a noodle restaurant that was still open.

After ordering the meal, I sat leaning on Shaoyang. The spring night was still a little cold, and he wrapped his arm around me to give me some warmth. Zhang Teng sat across from me, his expression was so sad, and his eyes were so lonely.

After the waiter brought us the noodles we ordered. Zhang Teng looked at Shao Yang and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, right?" I didn't expect to see each other again like this. ”

Shao Yang nodded and said, "Yes! I haven't seen it since the college entrance examination. I heard Xiao Lu say about your mother, and I hope that your mourning will pass. ”

Zhang Teng nodded and didn't speak again, then he took a sharp breath and began to eat noodles in large gulps.

After eating noodles, we came out of the noodle shop, and Zhang Teng said that he was going back alone. Shao Yang and I watched his back as he left. His shoulders shrugged tightly, so that his back seemed to be slightly carried on his back, and his height of more than one meter and eight meters looked so thin. I looked at him, and he disappeared from my sight so alone.
