After getting off the train, walking on the platform leading to the exit, looking at the train that was about to leave for the next station gradually moving away, Yan Xiao's heart was a little mixed.

My home, I'm back.

The taxi sped all the way, and when it arrived at the gate of the community, Yan Xiao was still a little shaky.

I remember that every National Day, the street lamp poles on both sides of the street will be planted with five-star red flags, and when the street lights are lit at night, the flaming red flags make people feel particularly eye-catching. There are still many small stalls on the side of the street, selling fruits, vegetables, and some knick-knacks.

was about to walk into the gate of the community, and a person suddenly came out of the guard's room, "Smile? ”

Yanxiao turned his head to see that it was Uncle Wu, the doorman of the community, and a different kind of intimacy suddenly surged in Yanxiao's heart. Since Yanxiao was in elementary school, Uncle Wu has begun to work in the community guard room, he can remember every family in this community, what difficulties the adults and children here have, and he also likes to ask him for help, he is a very honest and enthusiastic person. I remember that every time I went to school when I was a child, Uncle Wu would greet a few children with a smile, and when he had any candy and snacks in his hand, he also liked to share them with the children.

"Uncle Wu!" Yan Xiao walked over happily.

"It's really Yanxiao, it's dazzling for age, I thought I was wrong, you haven't been back for a while, Yanxiao, how is your work? Busy? Uncle Wu smiled at Yan as he spoke, looking up and down.

Yanxiao scratched her head embarrassedly and replied, "Well, I was a little busy some time ago and I haven't been able to come back." How are you doing, Uncle Wu? ”

The old man smiled kindly and nodded, "It's all right, old man, I will be here for another twenty years." ”

Yan Xiao nodded vigorously, "Uncle Wu, who is necessary!" ”

"By the way, I don't seem to have seen your mother come back in the past few days, so I don't know if I'm at home today." Uncle Wu thought about it and said.

took out the key from his bag and shook it at the old man, smiling and comforting, "Don't worry, I have the key, uncle." ”

Bidding farewell to the old man, he walked towards the community with a smile. Xu is the reason for the National Day holiday, there are a lot of people in the community, when she walked downstairs, Yanxiao also met a few uncles and aunts who watched her grow up, and after a warm greeting, Yanxiao finally walked to the door.

Pinching the key, Yan Xiao thought about it, or raised his hand and knocked on the door first, and sure enough, it was no one.

Yanxiao couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart, what do you want to laugh at? Didn't you know that there was no one living here anymore? What else is knocking on the door for? Do you want to hope that your parents will open the door to welcome and hug you like before?

sniffed, stopped the redness of the circles under his eyes, inserted the key, twisted, pushed open the door with a smile, and walked in.

The familiar taste and smell that came to the face suddenly opened the door to the memory of words and smiles.

There are still dolls on the sofa that I liked to hold when I was a child, stickers that I mischievously pasted on the table, there is still a height line drawn by my mother for her when I was growing up on the wall, and the bookshelf is full of every book I have ever read......

"Mom, where did my rubber bands go?"

"You kid, throw it around, ask me every time."

"Dad, come on, stop watching TV, let's play a game of chess."

"Again? Did you win me last time? ”

……

Yan Xiao walked through every inch of this small house with tears in her eyes, and finally, stopped in front of a wall.

It's covered with photos, her, mom, dad, she and mom, she and dad, and, their family of three.

Why did they disperse? Yanxiao couldn't figure it out anyway.

After calming down for a while, the excitement of the first arrival gradually passed, and Yan Xiaocai began to look at the house again, the house was very clean, although it was not popular, but it could be seen that people often cleaned it. It should be that my mother came back to clean it, Yanxiao thought to herself.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he took out his mobile phone, and Yan Xiao still dialed the number that he had already known by heart.

There was a long "beep" sound, and just when Yanxiao was about to hang up, someone on the other end of the phone answered, "Hey! ”

A man's voice.

This voice, you don't have to think about laughing to know who it is, and when you were about to hang up, the man on the other end of the phone hurriedly shouted, "Yanxiao, don't hang up, your mother is sick!" ”

The hand that was about to press suddenly stopped in mid-air, and Yan Xiao hurriedly put the phone to his ear again, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Second Municipal Hospital, Oncology Department," the male voice halfway through said something to the person next to him in a low voice, and then replied on the phone, "You come over first, and I'll talk to you in detail when I come to the hospital." ”

When I saw my mother again, I was in the hospital bed, with white walls, white sheets, pillows and quilts, and the face of the person who was sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed was even paler. After taking a closer look, Yanxiao found that her mother seemed to have lost weight, and the last time I saw her, she seemed to have lost some weight, but Yanxiao was only concerned about losing her temper at that time, and she didn't sit down to take a good look at her mother.

"Your mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, had surgery, has been undergoing chemotherapy, and recently had a physical examination and found a shadow on the other side, just after surgery to take it out, and still have to wait for the pathological results, at this time the anesthetic strength has not passed and is asleep, don't worry too much."

A few years ago? Yanxiao's tears flowed even more fiercely, and he turned back to the man and said angrily, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

Shen Yue looked helpless, "Your mother won't let you tell you." ”

Lifting his mother's somewhat thin hand, he put it on his face, and with tears, he smiled and felt a little cold.

Mom, I won't quarrel with you this time, I won't quarrel with you again, I listen to you, I'm not going anywhere, I'm here with you, waiting for you, waiting for you to wake up and smile at me and give me a hug, okay?
