"Brother! Hungry! An Xiaoya touched her stomach, rubbed it, and finally remembered what she had thrown aside before.

Xia Chenghao looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, and said hopefully: "Twelve o'clock, I should be back!" ”

Then he let out a long sigh.

"Dad and Mom haven't ......returned yet," An Xiaoya muttered with a bitter face, "Brother, I'm so hungry." ”

"I'm worried that if you say this, I finally forgot about my hunger and remembered it again." Xia Chenghao's heartbroken appearance was as if a well-planned secret had been revealed.

The sensible An Xiaoya felt her brother's embarrassment and sincerely apologized to him: "Brother, I'm sorry!" ”

It's not easy for a three-year-old child to do this.

My sister would be hungry many times a day, and he was used to it, but even Xia Chenghao felt hungry when he yelled. It's strange, Mom and Dad always complained that Xia Chenghao didn't like to eat when he was a child, but now why is he so hungry that he keeps wanting to eat.

"It's okay, I should be hungry at this time, in fact, I'm hungry too."

Xiaoya is very happy about her brother's forgiveness and understanding.

"Strange, they didn't come back? Is it because there are too many things to buy? Xia Chenghao raised his head and thought about it, as if he had confirmed his guess, "It must be like this!" Maybe it's a big holographic TV! ”

An Xiaoya also raised her head, her face was full of bright smiles, he had never doubted his brother's words: "Then, can we have 3D TV at home in the afternoon?" ”

"Of course, we don't have to go to Qingguo'er's house anymore, he will definitely come to our house. Our TV is definitely the coolest in this alley, and we have to call them to watch it. Xia Chenghao looked happy, and imagined in his heart that it would be absolutely beautiful.

An Xiaoya looked adoring, put her hands on her chest, and cheered: "Brother, it's amazing!" ”

This action is learned from cartoons, and the child's learning ability is already strong, and he imitates his favorite actions all the time.

"What's this?" Xia Chenghao tried his best to pretend that he didn't care, but he was actually very proud in his heart.

Brother and sister, you say a word to me, and for the time being, you will be hungry and go to the clouds.

Heavy and panicked footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate, and a person shouted eagerly: "Chenghao, Xiaoya!" Are you at home? ”

"Mom and Dad are back!" An Xiaoya was about to run out happily.

Twenty years later, Xia Chenghao still remembers the situation at that time, and remembers the sound of his footsteps, which is different from the rhythm of his steps on the snow at this time, and that time is definitely the most flustered footsteps he has ever heard.

"No, this voice is from Aunt Huang next door." Xia Chenghao gently pulled his sister and ran all the way to the door.

As soon as she came out, she bumped into a middle-aged woman with tears on her face, red eyes, and inexplicable sadness.

Xia Chenghao's little face was full of question marks.

Aunt Huang squatted down, hugged the two children into her arms, and instantly cried silently, and kept muttering vaguely: "Poor child, poor child......"

"Aunt Huang, what's wrong with you?" Xia Chenghao was completely at a loss.

An Xiaoya could only stare blankly in Aunt Huang's arms, and after a slight pause, she also started crying, this situation is very infectious for a three-year-old child.

Xia Chenghao didn't cry, he never cried inexplicably, especially as a man, how could he squeeze out tears at every turn like his sister, his father always said that men don't flick when they have tears, so boys can't cry.

"Chenghao, Xiaoya, follow me to see your parents!" Aunt Huang let go of the two dazed children, turned around and led them out of the courtyard gate.

Xiaoya walked too slowly, Aunt Huang couldn't wait, so she reached out to hug her, and Xia Chenghao followed closely behind.

There was a V2 hybrid taxi parked at the entrance of the alley, which seemed to be waiting for these people, and the driver started the car without saying a word, and knew the purpose of the trip.

No matter how Xia Chenghao asked all the way, no one spoke until the car stopped.

Aunt Huang hurriedly hugged An Xiaoya, pulled Xia Chenghao out of the car with one hand, and the fare was not paid, and the driver did not ask. Xia Chenghao glanced at the driver and felt that there was also a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Why is he like this? Is it because you didn't give money, Auntie, so you're not happy? Xia Chenghao thought as he walked.

The group of three quickly entered the hospital gate, did not enter the emergency room or the inpatient building, but bypassed a long lawn from the side and walked along the aisle to the newest small building.

This can be said to be the longest and coldest aisle that Xia Chenghao has walked, the people are small, and the aisle is designed to be too long, so that he can't keep up with Aunt Huang's steps more and more.

It happened too suddenly, but Xia Chenghao was a smart kid who had already foreshadowed something bad that was about to happen.

In the long corridor, the footsteps of one big and one small were getting heavier and heavier, but Xia Chenghao's heart was beating faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat.

An Xiaoya twisted in Aunt Huang's arms, looked at the new environment around her, calmed down without crying or talking, and quietly looked around the things in the corridor, as if she wanted to write them down.

There were two middle-aged men standing at the door of the cold room, one was half-old and the other was a little younger, both of them were so expressionless, and the two nurses came out of it, pulled down the masks on their faces, and also had a cold and serious face.

This is already the end of the aisle, Xia Chenghao knows that he must go in with Aunt Huang, and there is no way back. There was an indescribable smell floating in the air, and the room was filled with two small metal beds, both covered with white sheets.

An Xiaoya felt that she saw her parents and lay there calmly, as if she was asleep.

The half-aged man nodded to Aunt Huang and said hello, "Coming?" ”

Xia Chenghao remembered that this person seemed to be the principal of the school where his father used to teach, but then he didn't know why he didn't let his father be a teacher, and the principal rarely came to play at home. Xia Chenghao, who has reached school age, can't go to school because his father is unemployed, at least he has always thought so, so he didn't ask his parents to study.

Hearing someone ask, Aunt Huang hummed lightly as a promise, and said nothing more.

"Kid, come here!" The man beckoned lightly and walked over to one of the beds, "Come and see, Mom and Dad!" ”

A cold breath squeezed in from Xia Chenghao's back, and his heart trembled suddenly, and he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The middle-aged man pushed the child to the bed, Xia Chenghao saw his father lying quietly on it, and his mother was under the sheets next door, why did they sleep in such a strange place? And there's a tube stuck in the body.

Xia Chenghao calmly pushed his sleeping father: "Wake up, Dad!" ”

Shake Dad's hand vigorously, but it's not as hot as usual.

Seeing that his father didn't move, he turned around and called his mother again, but the result was still the same, and the whole person began to panic in an instant, and nothing like this had ever happened in his world.
