Cheng Jia'an staggered out again, there was still a critically ill wife in the hospital who needed him to take care of, one was already disappointed, and he couldn't end up desperate at both ends.

At this moment, the entire Cheng family was left with Cheng Jianghai, who knelt alone and cried bitterly. He suddenly felt cold.

It was a coldness from the inside out, a lonely coldness of being abandoned and forgotten, and a bitter coldness of remorse......

Longyou, Tuanchang.

A telegram reached the regimental field, Gong Yulan took it in a hurry, went straight to the health center, and shouted loudly: "Jiangshui, Jiangshui." ”

Cheng Jiangshui, who was busy alone, heard Gong Yulan's anxious call, quickly poked his head out of the house, and hurriedly responded: "Aunt Yulan, why are you so flustered?" ”

Gong Yulan panted and handed over the telegram: "Quick, the telegram from your father, let's see what's going on?" ”

"Telegram? Quick, I'll see! ”

Cheng Jiangshui couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and his snow-white and crystalline cheeks showed a sickly paleness. With Gong Yulan's urging, she hurriedly turned on the telegram, just a slight glance, and then collapsed on the ground, the frightened Gong Yulan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and shouted helplessly: "Jiang Shui, Jiang Shui, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Jiangshui's two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks, his pretty cheeks were full of sadness, and his trembling lips and tongue were even more speechless, Gong Yulan anxiously picked up the telegram: "Mother is critically ill, return quickly!" It's Shirwan! This, this ......"

A cuckoo's bloody cry finally came out of Cheng Jiangshui's mouth: "It's my mother!" It's my mother......"

"Xiulan, Xiulan has always been in good health, why did she suddenly fall ill?" Gong Yulan was also worried for a while.

"I don't know, I don't know!"

The bad news struck and completely crushed Cheng Jiangshui, who had always been quiet and steady. For a while, she was in a mess, grabbed Gong Yulan's arm tightly, and asked while whimpering, "Aunt Yulan, what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do, hurry back to Ganquan and have a look!" Gong Yulan said decisively.

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm going to ask for leave!"

Cheng Jiangshui choked back tears, quickly got up from the ground, stumbled and was about to run to the organ, but was dragged by Gong Yulan, and said anxiously: "Oh, I'll go on leave, you hurry back and pack your things, and you can catch today's train." ”

Cheng Jiangshui hurriedly wiped away a handful of tears that he couldn't finish wiping away, and choked up: "Oh, I'll go, I'll go!" ”

Of course, Cheng Jianghe also received the telegram at the same time, and at this time, Cheng Jianghe was also like Cheng Jiangshui, running frantically towards the train station.

When he boarded the train that was about to start, Cheng Jianghe's trembling hand took out the telegram again, his eyes were terribly red and swollen, and his mouth kept praying: "Mom, I beg you, you must not be fine......

Just when Cheng Jiangshui and Cheng Jianghe were rushing back non-stop, Cheng Jia'an, with the help of Qu Dashi and Li Xiumei, drove the mule cart and carefully moved Li Xiulan back to Jiuzi Lane.

When the wound is healed, there is not much point in living in the hospital, except for spending a lot of money every day, the condition will not improve at all, and in the long run, it is unbearable for ordinary families.

The mule cart turned into the alleyway, and the neighbors came to watch curiously. The day after the department store was stolen, the news spread like a hurricane throughout the city. Of course, the incident of the Cheng family is also known to everyone in the streets and alleys, and the tide of discussion is more violent than that of Cheng Jianghe's high school champion back then.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and all kinds of gossip are pouring in, and there is a great tendency for everyone to make money.

"Tell me, how did Li Xiulan get like this?"

"You don't know? The police came to the door, and I heard that it was his little son who stole everything to the department store. When his mother heard about it, she fainted. ”

"Oh my God, how can this kid do such a thing?"

"Oh, that kid of theirs, it's just very bad, he does evil in the alley every day, it's no wonder if nothing happens!"

"That's right, look at it, if you don't educate children well, it's the adults who suffer!"

"Hey, what a sin!"

"In the future, the children will have to be optimistic, but we must not fool around with such children, otherwise maybe one day we will be like this!"

"That's it, it's ......"

The discussions of the gossip masses sounded around him, and every sentence clearly entered Cheng Jia'an's ears. He was powerless to explain anything, and he didn't want to face these good deeds, so he blushed and didn't react in the slightest, and with the help of Li Xiumei and his wife, he carried Li Xiulan upstairs.

After entering the house, the three of them slowly placed Li Xiulan on the big bed in the inner room, and then they were busy for a while, but they all regarded Cheng Jianghai, who was rippling with tears and panic and sorrow, as air, and no one cared about it.

In the past two days, as Cheng Jia'an said, Cheng Jianghai has been in a state of "self-destruction".

He couldn't go to school, so he stood at the entrance of the corridor all day and watched his mother return. Drink some cold water when you're thirsty, and nibble on hard steamed buns when you're hungry. At night, he shrank in front of his mother's bed, smelled the familiar smell, cried sadly, and fell asleep when he was tired of crying.

The neighbor Lu Guangping and his wife really couldn't see it, and pulled him to go to the house for dinner, he looked gloomy and scary, and dragged the doorknob hard, without saying a word, just refused to go. I brought him some food, but he didn't move, just ate the cold steamed buns. Because those steamed buns were steamed by my mother's own hands......

Watching everyone move his mother to the bed, Cheng Jianghai in the outhouse stood far away with his mouth trembling, looking at his mother who did not react in the slightest with sadness, tears gushing down.

He wanted to lean forward to see his mother many times, but was stopped by Cheng Jia'an's indifferent eyes, so he could only cry silently by the door. After everything settled down, Cheng Jia'an sat alone at the head of the bed, looking at his wife stupidly, and mourned silently for a while.

Li Xiumei, who looked tired, quietly pulled her husband to the outhouse and explained: "Dashi, you can go back first, there are still plums at home, I will stay and take care of my sister." ”

Qu Dashi nodded gloomily and sighed in a low voice: "Hey! You help carefully, and your brother-in-law's mental state is not good, so you can do more if you can, and if you have anything, call the team. ”

"I know, you can go back!"

Qu Dashi agreed, turned his head and glanced at Cheng Jianghai, who was lying alone on the edge of the door wall, looking at his mother with tears in his eyes, and shook his head. After all, his identity is separated by a layer, and some reproaches are inconvenient to say, and in fact, he doesn't want to comfort the culprit. I could only frown, sigh and leave.

Li Xiumei took two steps forward, looked at Cheng Jia'an, who was sad, and then looked at Cheng Jianghai, who didn't dare to go forward, and felt a pain in her heart. gently patted Cheng Jianghai's shoulder, which was regarded as the greatest comfort, and then said to Cheng Jia'an with a strong spirit: "Brother-in-law, I'll go make something to eat first, you and Jiang Hai haven't eaten for a long time." ”

Cheng Jia'an seemed to hum, and his eyes were still looking at Li Xiulan stupidly. Li Xiumei sighed and turned her head to cook outside.

Cheng Jianghai slowly wanted to get closer to his mother again, Cheng Jia'an suddenly raised his head, and his gloomy old face was about to retreat him.

But he suddenly found that after only a few days of not seeing, Cheng Jianghai's originally pink and full cheeks were deeply sunken at the moment, and the dishes on his face looked extremely haggard, especially the big eyes that were originally eccentric, they had already been swollen, and dark circles gathered around, and tears kept dripping down from the bloodshot eyes, but he couldn't hear any sobbing.

Cheng Jia'an's lips trembled, and he wanted to speak several times, and the unconcealable sadness in his heart welled up in his heart. He sighed deeply and walked out of the house tremblingly, leaving space for the mother and son.

With his father's acquiescence, Cheng Jianghai stepped forward tremblingly, looking at his mother's gauze-wrapped brain, and felt very painful in his heart.

He didn't dare to touch it, so he could only gently take his mother's hand, gently caress the calloused and cracked palms, and then slowly put his cheeks into the warm palms, and muttered silently: "Mom, are you awake, don't leave me, I'm afraid, I'm really scared." I know it's wrong, so you just forgive me for the last time, okay? Mom, I beg you, don't leave me behind...... Shall I sing you a song, you said you like me to sing this song the most......"

"There is only a mother in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure;

threw into the arms of my mother, and I couldn't enjoy happiness,

No mother is the most distressed, a child without a mother is like a grass,

Leaving my mother's arms, where can I find happiness ......"

Looking at the mother who was lingering on the sickbed, no matter how he called or apologized, he did not respond without any response, Cheng Jianghai's young heart suffered a huge blow for the first time in history.

At that moment, he could even feel that he had lost the most precious and cherished maternal love in his life.

As He Yi'an said, if there is something in this world that makes people mature overnight, it is pain! The heart-rending and unspeakable pain after the loss of a loved one!

At this moment, Cheng Jianghai seems to have completed the growth process of ten years in one night, and he has completely changed his appearance!

Inside the house, Cheng Jianghai's confessional children's voices and poignant songs came out.

Outside the house, Cheng Jia'an had already burst into tears......
