Chapter 24—You Break Our Covenant
Chunxi thought of their little world. If Linlin recovers well, she will adopt a child and a family of three. Jin Yun was a little moved.
Let's eat, aren't you going to take the bus? It's a reversal from your company.
Forget about it, Chun-hee threw down half a slice of bread and rushed into the bathroom barefoot.
This guy actually has so many spare toothbrushes, I didn't read them all last night, and Chunxi hurriedly added to read them. Don't you often stay with the opposite sex?
Chunxi took out his shirt from his head, threw it on the bed, took his skirt and put it on, he didn't remember closing the door, Jin Yun across the table, at a glance.
That, gone, taking the bag in a hurry, putting on shoes, still chattering in his mouth, wallet, keys, mobile phone, complete, OK. With it, Jin Yun gave her a bag, and she glanced at half a slice of bread that she hadn't finished, another sandwich, and a box of cut fruit salad. She took out half a slice of bread and stuffed it in her mouth, divided it by two, and rolled it into the bag. Jin Yun saw that her movements were very skillful, just like announcing that she looked down on him? He just wouldn't let her waste food. Oh, and the cost of meals and accommodation is deducted from your commission. Chun-hee slammed the door vigorously.
Jin Yun was in a good mood and whistled to clean the bathroom. There's the hair she's fallen out of the bath, and the lid of the open shower gel that has time to close. There is also soap soaked in water, full of game, Jin Yun thought, to be domesticated.
When Chunxi arrived at the hospital, Linlin was lying on the windowsill. At the back is a small square where children from neighboring neighborhoods come to play. Linlin was looking at them. A few children were playing with the ball, and a girl was snapped in the face by the ball, crying, and a little boy went up to coax her. After a few coaxes and crying, the boy brought the ball to her and slapped it. The girl wore a snow-white tusle skirt. When I was a child, I also loved to wear skirts, Linlin rested her hand on the window lattice and said, it was all made by my mother, one after another, and it was given away. She made me so many dresses. After coming to live with Chunxi, Linlin didn't wear a skirt.
Coming over for dinner, Chunxi didn't want to mention her mother.
Linlin sat down obediently, I wanted to be discharged.
The wheelchair village made a guarantee, and it will have to be confirmed in a few months. Linlin had to sign.
Did she contact you? Chun-hee asked. You're stupid enough to be so talkative? Go back, how to go back? I don't need a wheelchair, let them pick it up. Chunxi is angry and doesn't fight anywhere.
Is the surgery still done? finally waited for someone to come back, and it looked like they were in line.
I asked the doctor, and part of the risk of surgery is that the nerve may be paralyzed or damaged after surgery, and you will not be able to speak, and your words and deeds will be blocked. Xiaoxi, do you want me to be a dumb person? I don't do it, but occasionally it hurts a little, and it's okay to live for more than ten years. I've been old for more than ten years, and I guess I've lived enough.
Xiaoxi, I don't want to do it, I want to be treated conservatively, I don't want to be dumb. I want to talk to you.
Xiaoxi, I want to go home.
Go home, everyone wants to go home. Chun-hee thought.
After discharge, the hospital still recommended surgery, and the patient could not give up the treatment based on his own feelings. The hospital said that it was better to reserve a bed first, the bed was tight, and it would be troublesome if it was not used at that time, Chunxi asked, how long can I reserve it to be scheduled for surgery? Is it necessary to pay all the time for the reserved starting bed without having to be empty? Yes, the deposit is non-refundable. After Chunxi talked to the doctor about her condition again, Linlin had already cleaned up when she returned to the ward. It's finally time to leave, Linlin said, it's really happy.
Chunxi said that the child has a temperament.
Passing by the little boy's ward, he and his mother are not there, have you been discharged? Chun-hee asked Linlin.
I don't know, I guess, I haven't seen you in the past few days.
Walking and walking, I heard a howl, and after a few sounds, the corners of Linlin's clothes were twisted, Chunxi pumped her out, she went to Linlin, afraid of strangling her from behind, the corners of her clothes were pulled out, and she raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw the little boy's mother holding the doctor's legs, shaking her eardrums with the most primitive roar, and howling without a sound.
Who is it? Linlin also asked, I didn't know, Chunxi hurriedly pushed people away.
This hospital can't come, Linlin said, too many unjust souls.
Yes, Chunxi sighed, God doesn't open his eyes.
Chunxi didn't buy a ticket for Linlin, and she regretted it a little when she got out of the hospital.
I need to go back to her. Linlin said. Chun-hee said, no. I want to see her come. Linlin said she was sick. Cancer. Chunxi scooped up the soup, burned his mouth, and couldn't swallow it.
Linlin didn't bring anything, she really didn't have anything to bring, Chunxi didn't let her bring it, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back. Linlin's only few clothes, Chunxi gradually threw them away, and now they are wearing them, and Chunxi lied to her that the wardrobe had a big sale in the middle of the year, five pieces for one hundred yuan, and she bought five pieces.
Anyone with a little life experience knows that it is false when they hear it, but Linlin has no social experience, and she also knows that Chunxi is good to her, so she firmly believes that Chunxi will do what she says.
Linlin asked for two catties of pumpkin seeds to bring, and said that she would come back after swallowing. Chunxi bought it and said, talking counts, and it doesn't count to be a puppy. Linlin also used a rubber band to tie the bag firmly, saying that it was moisture-proof.
Let her pick you up, Chun-hee said. If you don't pick it up, you can't go back.
She promised to pick me up. Linlin reassured Chunxi.
This night, the girls didn't sleep, Chunxi said the future life plan, Linlin said two places they wanted to go, one is Dali, the other is Tibet. Chunxi said that he would go to Dali first, and then go to Tibet along 318. Okay, Linlin said, it's better to go to Seda again and see the red. Chunxi said that in the future, we will find a place to support the mountains, grow our own vegetables, raise a dog, or raise a child. Okay, Linlin said.
Chunxi called a morning ride for Linlin and sent her to the station. Take the first bus, so that Chunxi has time to go to work. As soon as I got home, I was told that if I sent 10 messages a day, I would check, and if I didn't send 10 messages, I would curse. Linlin said, how old are they, it's embarrassing to say such things. Don't trust people casually, and don't promise anything, regardless of your mom and dad. Chunxi instructed uneasily.
She took Linlin to the toilet first, and couldn't stop on the highway, and Linlin didn't like to trouble people. It's okay to be thick-skinned, Chunxi teaches her.
Linlin just left.
When Chunxi went home in the evening, she didn't receive a message from Linlin, she dialed the number of her old mobile phone, rang a few times and broke off, and soon a message came over, saying that everything was fine. Chunxi didn't want to open the fire alone, so he drank the white rice porridge left over from the morning. After opening a pack of mustard and not eating it, she ate one and felt bitter and put it back. Lying down and sleeping early, the room was too empty, less people, less than half of the sky, Chunxi got up twice, walked back and forth in the house, walked and lay down, couldn't sleep, got up and walked around again, until his heart was too lazy to move.
I was restless at work during the day and did a lot of things wrong. In the end, the assistant couldn't bear it anymore and ran to get the paper clip himself. The report is wrong, re-typed, and wrong, just modified the hand cramps but cut it, I don't know where the cut went, I don't know where to do it, I do it again, and the leader is waiting for a meeting. More than a dozen people looked at this little person who never made the slightest mistake for the first time to get the attention of the leaders.
Chunxi pushed open the door of the conference room, put the materials on the table, and said to everyone, I'm sorry, I ate too many pickles in the morning. Then serve coffee to everyone cup by cup.
After the meeting, clean up the conference room, ashtrays, paper cups, small paper heads, broken ballpoint pens, whose data cables, Chunxi went in and out more than a dozen times, and several times were empty-handed, and he didn't know what to do. The assistant saw that she almost tripped Jun Zilan, helped her, and said, good friends are here? Chunxi said, no, the old heart is flustered.
The news reached her the next afternoon. There is a custom in my hometown to report a funeral.
Chun-hee only looked at the beginning, and it was unknown.
There were also two bottles of painkillers next to the bed, which Chunxi asked the attending doctor to prescribe and instructed him not to take too much. Linlin also asked Chunxi to help her hold it, and when she left, she asked Chunxi to go. Chunxi didn't think much about it, thinking that it was always good to be prepared.
She felt that no matter how poor a mother was, she couldn't throw her daughter, and she would never let her daughter die. She shouldn't have been discharged. You shouldn't give her a phone, you shouldn't let her reach her, you shouldn't ...... She washed her hands vigorously, they were so dirty and stained with blood. She sent her back with her own hands, and sent her to the point of no return.
The TV Linlin was covered with a cover, and there was a small embroidery flower under the cover, Chunxi's hand was gently caressed, she thought that Linlin must have touched it more than once, what were she thinking about when she touched it? Think about God's injustice? Thinking about the cruelty of your parents?
She had thought enough and had an answer, so she rushed forward without hesitation. Gone.
She looked at her father, who had finally returned from leave from the construction site, with white hair, a long beard, and trembling lips. He raised his hand and gave the woman a slap, and after enduring it for so many years, it all exploded at this moment. He roared, tugging, struggling on the brink of collapse.
A few stout men in the village picked him up and helped him under the eaves, and the eaves were dripping with water, and Chun-hee looked at him and felt that he was like a piece of dead wood, waiting for time to mummify him.
The former wife found an in-law for her once lively and lovely daughter. You have to get married, said someone who has been a mother. Others are very good, they won't hit you, just a little wooden.
Chunxi thought, Linlin didn't nod at that time? How did she react? Why didn't she call her? Chunxi felt that she couldn't say two words to anyone, only with her, and talked endlessly. Then, in the end, she will leave her a message as well. But no. Linlin left nothing. Even if there is, Chunxi didn't find it.
What struck down this girl who already had a protective layer all at once? Did the mother rip off her wig with one hand? Hit her leg with one of the sticks?
Chunxi thought that Linlin must have resisted.
Chun-hee rummaged through Linlin's bed, only to find an old radio. Turn on only the rustling of the magnetic.
Chunxi buried Linlin next to her parents' graves, and this time, she crossed her father and her mother to make Linlin's master.
She said, "You two, let's be companions together."
She poured half a bottle of wine and burned all the money papers that came. I don't have to worry about money anymore, it's not enough to spend your dreams on me.
They said that they would give you a kiss, otherwise the ghost would not be gone. It's a drunk old bachelor in his 50s, I won't let it, we said that we will depend on each other, and no one will want to occupy you. Can't get past me. Whoever dares to tie the knot for you, I will dig up the grave of whomever house. Let him never be at peace, and never be able to be reborn.
The people who accompanied the coffin to the new grave felt that the girl's nerves were not normal. Probably going crazy.
