Chapter 39: A Different New Year

Riding a bicycle in snow is also the most testing of one's cycling skills.

The snow on the side of the road still hasn't melted, only the snow in the middle of the road has melted, and when there is no car, he walks in the middle of the road where there is no snow.

Before I got home, I received a call from my wife.

"Jiahui"

"Hansheng, are you in the car?"

"Not yet. I'll sit down in a moment. ”

"Jiejie and I are already in the car. I wanted to wait for you to come before leaving, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and now there are fewer cars. ”

"Well, good. Jay didn't cry, did he? ”

"No, he's pretty good. I won't go home, after I arrive at the station, I will go to Grandma Jiejie's house, and I won't go home for the New Year. When you leave, turn off the water and electricity at home, and turn off the floor heating, it's not safe to turn on when you're not at home for so many days. ”

"Well, okay. In the past few days, you and Jiejie have been tired. ”

"It's fine. Dad has been recovering well these days. I have a good appetite and am in a good mood. I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. ”

"yes, that's great. It's snowing here, so you have to be careful with Jiejie. ”

"Hmm."

He Hansheng returned home, packed some clothes, turned off the water and electricity, and then hurried to take the car.

Charmanti slept late and didn't get up until the sun came out.

She opened the door and looked, but there was no one in the hallway.

She thought, He Hansheng didn't come out either, is he still sleeping?

Because it was inconvenient to go to his dormitory, she sent a message: Did you get up?

He Hansheng just got into the car, so he replied: I have gotten up and gone home. Now I'm in the car to the hospital.

Charmanti looked at He Hansheng's reply, pondered for a while, and a sense of loss arose, because He Hansheng was gone again. It used to be close at hand, but I didn't expect it to become so far away when I turned around. Thinking about it every minute, she couldn't wait to see him, but the reality couldn't, she replied again: Has the wine woken up?

HO: Almost. It's just that my head is still a little dizzy. Thank you last night.

As soon as Charmanti saw the information, she suddenly became overwhelmed. Did he find out last night? If what she did was known to He Hansheng, how embarrassing it would be, she suddenly regretted her irrational behavior last night.

She asked tentatively: Do you remember how you got off the bus last night and how you got back to the dormitory?

After she sent the message, she waited a little nervously.

He Hansheng: After getting off the bus, it was broken and I forgot about it.

Charmanti: Really?

HO: Absolutely. I'm not making a fool of myself, am I?

Charmanti: No.

She laughed, "Thank goodness," and she folded her hands together, secretly rejoicing.

He Hansheng estimated that his wife was about to arrive, so he called to ask.

"Jiahui, where have you been?"

"It's almost Lankou."

"Really? I'm almost there, too. Our cars should be able to meet soon. After a while, you pick up Jiejie, I want to see you, I miss you. ”

"yes, okay."

Soon, a passenger car came from the opposite lane. At the moment when the two cars met, He Hansheng saw his wife and his son who was picked up by his wife. He shouted 'Jay' and tears immediately flowed down his cheeks. At that moment, the two cars were less than three meters apart, but they couldn't say a word, nor could they hug their son, because they were in different lanes, the two cars quickly met and went farther and farther in their respective directions. He felt helpless and sad. Originally, the Spring Festival was a day of reunion, but now they are going to live separately, He Hansheng hugged his head and cried "woo".

Charmanti has been waiting for He Hansheng's reply, but she has never replied, so she sent another one: Have a good journey and happy Spring Festival.

He Hansheng heard the sound of WeChat, raised his head, and replied: Thank you. Happy Chinese New Year.

In fact, he also understands that how can he be happy during the Spring Festival this year?

When I arrived at the hospital, it was already half past eleven.

He Hansheng met Xiao Wu in the corridor. Xiao Wu's father had stomach surgery, three days before He's father, and they were both in the same ward.

"Xiao Wu, do you want to go down?"

"Hmm. Hansheng, you're here. Your dad has been crying a lot these days, I guess he misses you, so let's go in and take a look. ”

There was also a tube inserted in the operation of Dad He, and in order to reduce the pain, he was half lying on the pillow.

"Dad."

"Hansheng." Dad He choked up and cried.

"Dad, stop crying. Isn't it good to listen to Jiahui say that the recovery is good? He Hansheng hurriedly walked over and held his father's hand.

"I've dragged you down."

"Your dad has been crying for the past two days, as if he has been wronged." Mother He said on the side.

"Dad, it's okay. I've had surgery, and I'm recovering well. After the Chinese New Year, I will be discharged from the hospital immediately. ”

When Dad He heard about the New Year, he cried even more sadly. New Year's Day is a day of family reunion, so many years, the New Year is at home, with colorful lights and laughter, and now there is no one at home, and the son and daughter-in-law are separated. Because of illness, he has to spend the New Year in the hospital this year, which is a difficult knot for the more traditional Dad He, and it is even more sad to see that the people in the same ward are basically discharged before the New Year.

"Dad, don't be sad." He Hansheng took out a piece of paper and wiped his father's tears.

He Hansheng looked at his father, distressed and sad. In less than four months since he became ill, my father has grown much older and thinner, and his hair has become gray and thin. Dad is no longer the tall and majestic tree, but has become a child who needs to be cared for.

He Hansheng saw that his father was not crying, so he helped his father sit up.

"Dad, drink saliva. Look at your lips are dry. He Hansheng put the kettle with a straw to his father's mouth.

Dad He took a few hard breaths, still looking sad.

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Not yet, my eyes are a little sore these days, and I can't see things clearly. I didn't dare to go down and buy it, I'm waiting for you. Mother He said with tears in her eyes.

"I should have stayed up late these days, and when I finish eating, I will have a good rest, and it will be fine soon. What would my dad want to eat? ”

"Your dad wanted to eat stewed hairtail yesterday, go buy one. And buy some more grapes and oranges, your dad wants to eat something sour these days. ”

"Mom, what would you like to eat?"

"There's a cookie there, I'll just eat one."

"The biscuits are not rice, I'll fry some celery."

"yes, okay."

"Dad, I'll go down to buy food, you rest first."

"Hmm. Be careful on the road. ”

He Hansheng walked out of the ward.

It was noon, and the snow outside was slowly melting, and the road was full of snow. It also responds to the sentence "the snow is not cold, and the snow is cold", and the wind blows on the face with a tingling feeling.

The food bought in the hospital was fast food, and there was no freshly fried food, so He Hansheng had to go outside to have a look. Due to the upcoming Chinese New Year, many restaurants are closed. I finally found one, and when I asked the price, it was twice as expensive as usual. But there is no way, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it, and you don't need to worry about money at this time. In between stir-frying, He Hansheng went to the nearby fruit shop to buy some grapes and oranges. It was too cold outside, and after the dishes were fried, He Hansheng hurried back to the hospital.

In the ward, the only remaining roommate is also preparing to be discharged.

"You're going to be discharged from the hospital too?" He Hansheng greeted politely.

"That's right. My dad had surgery three days earlier than you, and the doctor said he could be discharged today. Xiao Wu said with a happy smile.

"It's good, go home this afternoon, and I won't delay the New Year tomorrow."

"Yes. By the way, this recliner is for you, you can lie down and rest at night. ”

"No, you might as well take it back." Dad He said.

"I can't put it in the car, so I don't take it with me. Besides, you don't need it to go home. ”

"Thank you." He Hansheng said gratefully.

"Uncle, aunt, let's go first. Uncle, have a good rest, and you will be discharged from the hospital by the third or fourth day of the first month at the latest. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Wu also thanks you these days, I often trouble you at night. Dad He said.

Usually, there are four in the ward, and it is very lively to talk and laugh. Now there is only He Hansheng's family left, and it is suddenly much deserted.

Because there was still a little pain at the intubation port, Dad He only ate two pieces of hairtail fish and stopped eating it.

"Dad, let's eat another piece." He Hansheng picked another piece of fish.

"Don't eat, I want to sleep." Dad He said.

He Hansheng tidied up the pillow for his father, and then helped his father lie down gently.

"Mom, you can eat this piece of meat."

"No, I'd better keep it for your dad."

"There's more. You eat it. He Hansheng put the piece of fish on his mother's steamed bun.

Mother He had no choice but to eat the fish.

"Mom, you can go and rest on the deck chair for a while."

"Hmm. By the way, your dad's clothes changed yesterday haven't been washed yet, so I'll wash them. ”

"Mom, I'll wash it later."

"It's fine."

Mother He took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Although He's mother is tired, she is still very happy to see her son, and now her son has become the only support.

Where your parents are, home is there. Although he can't go home for the New Year, he Hansheng doesn't have too many regrets in his heart to guard his parents, and the biggest concern is his wife and son at home. He called his wife twice a day and kept telling her to pay more attention to rest.

He Hansheng tried to keep his mood happy in the hospital because he had to take care of his father's emotions.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, because there was no TV, they did not watch the Spring Festival Gala. They chatted together, and He Hansheng was also listening to his mother tell stories about his childhood. The whole evening was calm and gentle.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Dr. Changsun informed him that he would be discharged from the hospital in two days.

This is the best New Year's gift for Ho Hansheng's family. They also have more expectations in their hearts, looking forward to the day of discharge.

Charmanti did not return home for the New Year. Because of the divorce, I had a lot of conflicts with my family. Her mother has always been in favor of divorce, even if the man can't have children, but after all, he is still young, maybe it would be good to treat it, and the man's family is rich, and it is not so easy to find a good family these days. But Charmanti didn't think so, she didn't want to wronged herself, so she resolutely filed for divorce. Instead of going home and listening to her family's endless nagging, she would rather be alone in her own home. But after staying upstairs alone for a long time, I feel lonely and bored.

She looks at the circle of friends almost every hour, she doesn't care what others post, she only pays attention to He Hansheng's dynamics. However, from the holiday to the present, He Hansheng has not updated a single news. looked through the circle of friends and didn't find any news about He Hansheng, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost. She misses He Hansheng every day, and she wants to see him. She felt that He Hansheng was like the sun, and the days that he couldn't see became bleak every day.

On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, the bored Charmanti sent a WeChat message to He Hansheng.

"Han Sheng, are you still in the hospital? When will your dad be discharged from the hospital? ”

"Discharge from the hospital tomorrow."

"Great. Your dad is recovering well, isn't he? ”

"Well, the recovery is good. Thank you so much for lending me so much money. However, I won't be able to pay you back for a while, so don't mind. ”

"It's okay, we're all friends, don't be so outward. What is needed later, just say. ”

She is so generous, and she can only be born to He Han. At this time, she felt that He Hansheng's weight in her heart had surpassed that of her parents.

"Thank you so much. By the way, we go to work on the sixth day of the first month, right? ”

"Yes."

As soon as she thought that she would be able to see He Hansheng in a few days, her heart suddenly became happy. Waiting is also a kind of happiness, and this is the most appropriate time to describe her mood. She no longer expects too much, as long as she can see He Hansheng every day, she is satisfied.

On the third day of the first lunar month, He Hansheng went through the discharge procedures for his father.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, they returned to their long-lost home.

Dad He is still a little weak, and he needs to replenish nutrition and recuperate in the next few days. In order to let his mother remember the method of changing the dressing, He Hansheng demonstrated it to his mother from beginning to end.

After He Hansheng settled his father, he went back to his home in the city.

On the way, he thought that his wife and son were still at his father-in-law's house, but he was still a little hesitant to pick them up. Because the father-in-law was not very approving of their marriage in the first place. Every time he goes to his father-in-law's house, he feels uncomfortable, so every time he is not forced to do so, he usually doesn't go to his father-in-law's house much.

He called his wife first.

"Jiahui, Dad has been discharged from the hospital, and we are all back. I'll pick you up at Grandma Jiejie's house. ”

"No need, the second uncle and the second aunt will go back later, they will drive, and they will bring us back later."

"Okay. Then I'll go home first. ”

"I'm tired these days, so let's go home and rest."

Just two hours after arriving home, Peng Jiahui came back with Jiejie.

I haven't seen him for a week, and He Hansheng already misses his son very much. He hugged his son and kissed him a few times.

In the evening, Peng Jiahui fried a few dishes, and the two poured a glass of red wine. Raise a glass to drink, this is their group meal, and it is also a belated Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Peng Jiahui didn't want to drink after drinking half a cup.

"Drink the rest. I felt a little dizzy. ”

"It's okay, red wine is good for the body, drink it all."

"You better drink it." Peng Jiahui said and gave the half glass of wine to He Hansheng.

He Hansheng drank alone, and felt that the strength of the wine was slowly rising. Drinking and drinking, suddenly tears flowed.

"Why are you crying?" Peng Jiahui asked in surprise.

"Huh. I'm happy, but I'm glad to have you. ”

He Hansheng smiled faintly, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"Don't cry. Now that my father has been discharged from the hospital, everything will slowly get better in the future. ”

"Hmm." He Hansheng nodded.

Dad was discharged from the hospital, but the doctor said that he would have to go for a follow-up examination in three or four months, and now there is no guarantee that he has fully recovered. Now there are old and young, and the only job is not only less money, but also unsatisfactory. He was tense every day, and he always felt an invisible pressure that made him breathless. He had nowhere to talk but to keep everything in his heart. The weight of life was borne silently by himself.

In the remaining two days, He Hansheng accompanied his wife and children to parks, playgrounds, and supermarkets.

Vacations are always short, and two days go by in the blink of an eye.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the company officially went to work.

He Hansheng's sales class is the one who deals with other classes the most, and in order to enhance his relationship, he goes to each class as soon as he goes to work.

In the quality class, everyone also learned about He Hansheng's father's illness.

"Is your dad okay now?" Section Chief Ge asked.

"I've been discharged from surgery."

"That's a lot of money, isn't it?"

"Hmm. This operation plus hospitalization cost more than 40,000 yuan. ”

"So, don't get sick now. I can't afford to be sick. ”

"That is, now the healthy is the greatest wealth."

When Charmanti finally saw He Hansheng, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited.

"Where are Jiahui and Jiejie spending the New Year?"

"They went to Grandma Jiejie's house."

"That's the only way to go. You're not at home either, and you're not taking care of them. ”

"Hmm. All right. Get busy first. I'll take a look at another class. ”

He Hansheng said and walked out of the quality office.
