Cheng Jia'an frowned and thought for a little, his wrinkled cheeks were a little bitter, and he pursed his lips and said: "Don't wash that bottle again, it's such a cold day, the water is terrible, you are also a medical student, I don't know if you will fall ill in the future." ”

Cheng Jiangshui's face was slightly stiff, and he pursed his red lips and said, "Oh, I know, I told the other side, don't wash it first." No, can you paste some cartons now? And you can do it at home, which is more convenient than washing bottles. ”

Cheng Jia'an skimmed the cardboard boxes piled up in the corner of the wall with a height of half a person, and his heart was like a stone blocked, and he sighed sadly: "Hey, it's not a way to go on like this, Jiang Shui, what's wrong with your correspondence education?" ”

"I'm still studying, and I'm thinking I'll finish next year."

"Next year?"

Cheng Jia'an raised his head melancholy, his eyes were hazy and he didn't know what he was thinking, but there was an inexplicable gloom filling the air.

Cheng Jiangshui frowned, his starry eyes turned slightly, and asked blankly, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Jia'an sighed quietly: "I thought that you had passed the correspondence course, so go out and find a job, it is not a matter for you to do this for a long time." ”

Cheng Jiangshui was stunned, feeling that his father's words were a little abrupt, frowning for a while, and said doubtfully: "But what about Mom, who will take care of it?" ”

Cheng Jia'an struggled for a long time, then gritted his teeth and stumbled to reveal his thoughts: "I thought that I really can't do it, so I will send your mother to our nursing home." ”

"Absolutely not!"

Cheng Jiangshui's face changed suddenly, his pure and elegant pink face became gloomy, and he objected with a hint of toughness: "I have heard Aunt Jiang say about the situation in the nursing home, and she can't take care of a patient like my mother at all. Besides, you don't have to spend a lot of money to go to a nursing home, this method doesn't work. ”

"But you're like this, Dad feels uncomfortable." Cheng Jia'an hung his head sadly.

Sending his wife to a nursing home is actually something that Cheng Jia'an has been thinking about for a long time. Li Xiulan has been lying on the hospital bed for three years, and her complexion has not improved. The initial hope was slowly eroded in the repetition of day after day, and the daughter gave up everything in order to take care of her mother, her studies and family were in a mess, and she didn't even think about giving birth to a child, and she insisted on doing the lowest coolies.

Cheng Jia'an didn't say it, but the guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger, and sometimes he even couldn't breathe.

As Cheng Jiangshui said, a nursing home with poor conditions is unable to take care of such unconscious critically ill patients, and Cheng Jia'an's choice is really a half-give up in desperation.

If you don't do this, you won't be able to reduce the courage on Cheng Jiangshui's shoulders. For a long time, her daughter was about to be abolished, and the cruel reality forced Cheng Jia'an to make such a choice.

For his father's love and ambivalence in a panic, how could Cheng Jiangshui not know. But if you want her to choose to give up her mother, she can't do it. In her eyes, a glimmer of hope is the greatest hope. Since you've given up a lot, what's the point of giving up again!

The sky and the earth are big, and the word filial piety is the largest.

Cheng Jiangshui stretched out his hand, rubbing the back of his father's rough bark-like hand, looking at the age spots that gradually emerged on it, and his heart was sad.

She forced a smile to comfort Cheng Jia'an's guilty heart: "Dad, don't think about it anymore, if Mom gets better, we still have to believe that there are miracles in this world, and we can't give up when we can!" ”

Looking at his daughter's resolute and unobsessive expression, Cheng Jia'an knew that no matter what he said, he would not prompt Cheng Jiangshui to nod and agree. He bowed his head gloomily and sighed, "Hey, I knew I couldn't persuade you." ”

Cheng Jiangshui smiled sadly and said softly: "Dad, there's nothing else, I'll go back first." ”

Looking at Cheng Jiangshui's fingers simply wrapped in strips of rags, Cheng Jia'an frowned and asked, "Can you do it with your hands?" When it's dark, don't ride. ”

"Alas, got it!" Cheng Jiangshui answered softly, turned around and left in a hurry.

Over the years, my daughter has come and gone in such a hurry every time, bringing full of filial piety and taking away the tiredness of her body.

This makes a father feel unspeakably guilty and uneasy.

Cheng Jia'an came to his wife's bedside, looked at her increasingly thin cheeks, and his heart swelled with endless melancholy.

He gently rubbed the back of his wife's hand, and his trembling lips let out a sad sigh: ", we have delayed the river......

The night breeze is blowing, and it is freezing cold.

Cheng Jiangshui, who returned in a hurry, returned home, but found that He Yi'an had not come back yet, and even the lunch he left for him was still placed on the stove without moving, obviously He Yi'an had not come back since he went out in the morning.

Cheng Jiangshui frowned, he didn't care at first, turned on the lamp and reviewed the books, while waiting for He Yi'an to return. waited until late at night, and He Yi'an's shadow never appeared. Cheng Jiangshui looked at his watch, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and uneasy, so he took a flashlight and found the duty room in the archives.

In the dead of night, the attendant had already fallen asleep, and the door under the floor was locked. Cheng Jiangshui was a little anxious in his heart, and stepped forward and patted the door lock nervously, but there was no reaction in the duty room. In desperation, Cheng Jiangshui went around to the back of the office building and slapped the back window directly. After a long time, the lights in the duty room came on. The window opened, revealing the sleepy-eyed face of the attendant.

Cheng Jiangshui stepped forward apologetically and asked, "Comrade, I want to ask, do you know where He Yi'an is?" ”

"He Yi'an? Why are you looking for someone at this time? Being woken up abruptly, the attendant was also a little displeased.

"Oh, he hasn't come home from work yet, I'm worried that something will happen to him, so I'm looking for it, I'm sorry for you, comrade!" Cheng Jiangshui said uneasily.

The attendant who was a little sober glanced at Cheng Jiangshui who was anxious, then turned his head to look at his watch, frowned and pondered: "I haven't returned to this point, well, are you working overtime in the archives?" Their archives department has been busy putting together the archives lately, maybe there! Why don't I take you to see it? ”

Cheng Jiangshui hurriedly nodded gratefully: "Alas, thank you, comrade!" ”

The attendant unlocked the front door, took Cheng Jiangshui a few turns, and came to the front of the archives warehouse. Seeing the light shining through the door, the attendant lazily pointed, yawned and left.

Cheng Jiangshui cautiously walked into the archives, looking at the scattered piles of archives and frowning frequently. cautiously raised his feet to bypass, and saw He Yi'an sitting cross-legged on the ground alone, his hair was messy, his cheeks were blue, and he looked extremely haggard, unaware of Cheng Jiangshui's arrival, still busy with concentration.

I have never seen He Yi'an forget to sleep and eat so much, and even work hard. I couldn't understand her husband's success best, Cheng Jiangshui felt distressed for a while, and stepped forward and called softly.

"Yi'an!"

Broken by his thoughts, He Yi'an raised his head and looked at his wife in surprise with a pair of red and swollen eyes: "Jiang Shui, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Jiangshui stepped forward and squatted down, gently stroked He Yi'an's haggard cheek with his hand, and said warmly: "Waiting for you at home, I really can't wait, I can't wait, I can't panic, so I came over." ”

He Yi'an took his wife's hand, cracked his dry lips, showed a pale smile, and said with relief: "I'm fine, you go back first, you may have to stay up all night tonight." ”

Cheng Jiangshui frowned, looked back, and asked in surprise, "What's the ...... Why are you working overtime alone? ”

He Yi'an smiled reluctantly and said, "The other comrades will go back first, the progress on my side is relatively slow, so I am a little anxious, and I have to make a surprise attack tonight." ”

Looking at He Yi'an's obviously evasive eyes, Cheng Jiangshui was a little shocked in his heart, and asked suspiciously, "Did you encounter something?" Isn't it okay to do it again tomorrow? ”

He Yi'an patted the back of his wife's hand and explained: "Jiang Shui, didn't I tell you, I took the initiative to propose this rectification, and I haven't seen the results yet, the leader is anxious, and I'm even more anxious." ”

Cheng Jiangshui bit his lip, his eyes burned, and asked tentatively, "Is it the leader who criticizes?" ”

It seems that he can't hide anything from his careful wife, He Yi'an felt a little ashamed, and nodded lonely: "Well, but it's okay, I can do it myself!" ”

"Or ...... Or I'll sort it out for you. Cheng Jiangshui picked up the file box and turned around to help.

He Yi'an immediately smiled bitterly, took her hand and dissuaded: "Hey, how do you know this, it's so late, go back quickly, you have to rush back to take care of your mother tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about me here." ”

Cheng Jiangshui paused, looked at He Yi'an worriedly, and said softly: "That...... Then I'll accompany you, I always feel unsure. ”

He Yi'an's withered face revealed a little helplessness, and he smiled dumbly: "Why are you still like a child, I still care about you here, and I can't do anything." Be obedient, hurry back. ”

Cheng Jiangshui pursed his red lips, and he couldn't refute anything, with a sad look between his eyebrows: "That...... Then I'll go back first, don't work too hard! ”

He Yi'an patted her arm, gave her a reassuring look, and said with a light smile: "Okay, got it." ”

After speaking, He Yi'an lowered his head and continued to be busy with his work, Cheng Jiangshui stood and watched for a while, and then turned back and left step by step. Back in the dormitory, Cheng Jiangshui slowly lay on the bed, his mind churning inexplicably, both distressed and flustered. wanted to continue to wait for He Yi'an, but he was too tired during the day, so he fell asleep in a groggy state......
