Seventeen, a cup of the sea
Qi Ji clinked glasses with them and drank them all, and sat down inside the bar, opposite Lin Meina.
"Xiao Li, if you get the money, you can treat your mother."
"Yes! But my sister can't find it, and I'm afraid my mother's illness ......."
After listening to the conversation between Qiji and Li Gang, Lin Meina was quite emotional.
"It turns out that you are the owner of the missing person notice. The relationship between siblings is really delicate, I also have a younger sister, who had a good relationship when I was a child, but it changed when I grew up. Maybe everyone has their own home, and the relationship is still there, but it is not as close as it was when they were children. ”
"I think you always go out for a walk with your parents, but what about your sister?" Kiki asked.
"She has become a family in Beijing, and the children are still young, and she feels too much to come back for a trip, so she rarely comes back."
Lin Meina drank the wine in her glass. The deer chirped at the right time.
"Can you pour more?"
"Good!" Lu Ming added the wine to half a glass.
"It's normal, she has a family, and she must be focusing on her own small family in everything. You have to forgive her, too. I would venture to ask, Miss Lin, you are not married yet, are you? Lao Zhao asked.
"Do you understand the rules, how can you ask casually about such a private matter." Lawyer He was speechless to stop him.
"It's fine. I'm not married! ”
"If you don't get married, you still haven't left the cabinet, and you always think about your parents." Lao Zhao said earnestly.
"You're not a local, are you?"
"I came from Sichuan, and I found a job here, and I did a good job, so I found a local to get married."
"I've been to Chengdu and I've been to Dujiangyan. Chengdu is very good. ”
"My parents are still there, and I have many sisters, so I don't have to worry about anything."
"Don't go back to your hometown for the New Year?"
"It's not easy to buy a ticket, and I'll go back with my daughter-in-law on the fifteenth day of the first month."
Li Gang's phone kept ringing, ringing. He picked up his phone and stepped aside.
"Hey, what's the matter with my cousin...... Dad asked you to call...... Oh, it's good to receive it...... I'm in the South! This year...... I can't put down my work......"
Lin Mina thought for a moment.
"In fact, when I was a child, I was beaten by my mother, because she gave birth to two daughters, she was very angry in her patriarchal in-law's family, so she was very unwilling, and she hoped that her daughter would become a phoenix. When I was a kid, I actually hated her. When I grew up, I always quarreled with her.
When my sister was confined, my mother went to Beijing to take care of my sister. That was 6 years ago. I just got a new job. At that time, my mother lived with me. I live in a neighborhood with my sister. I often leave early and come home late, and sometimes I even live in the company. I think I just went to a new company, and I want to behave well and take my work very seriously. I remember one night, I was locked in my room surfing the Internet, I heard a clicking sound outside, intermittently, I looked at the door curiously, and saw my mother holding her phone to shoot the TV screen, she was watching the animal world. She loves to watch the animal world. I didn't say anything, closed the door and continued to surf the Internet. Now think about how lonely my mother must have been at that time! ”
"Didn't your father go with him to Beijing?" Li Gang asked, and he sat back in his seat.
"No, there were seven cats at home, and my father stayed at home to take care of the cats. After my mother took a shower that day, she sat on the sofa with one side of her face distorted.
My sister and I felt that something was wrong and wanted to take her to the hospital, but she kept waving her hand and didn't want to go. I called my doctor friend at the time, and the person who listened to my description and said that it was probably a cerebral hemorrhage, but I didn't see it in person, so it was difficult to make a final judgment.
At that time, I was very entangled, Tiantan Hospital is the best hospital in China for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But I live outside the 5th Ring Road and am worried that going there will be traffic jams. So, I decided to take my mother to the hospital in Tongzhou. Thinking about it now, I was so stupid at that time, I didn't even call an ambulance, but just took a 'black car' at the entrance of the community.
In the evening, my mother's condition deteriorated, and the doctor said that she would need surgery. At that time, I was alone with my mother, because my sister still had a big belly, and she took her to the hospital with me, and she went back. The doctor asked me to sign an agreement for surgery. I didn't dare to call my father, and I couldn't call my sister to discuss, because she was pregnant after all, and I was afraid that she would get angry in a hurry.
At that time, I didn't know how to get a stubborn temper, and I didn't want to sign an operation agreement at all, and I wanted to transfer to Tiantan Hospital. But the doctor said that it was too late to transfer to the hospital and that surgery was necessary immediately. In desperation, I had no choice but to sign an agreement. That agreement was like a 'death verdict' for me. After the mother's operation, she was admitted to the intensive care unit and has been unconscious. I took the bedding and slept outside the intensive care room, in the hallway of the hallway. At that time, I was most afraid of the doctor shouting 'Who is Liu Sumei's family'! I'm afraid to hear bad news.
Later, my father arrived, and instead of blaming my sister and me, he blamed my mother for not paying attention to taking her medicine on time. The mother has high blood pressure. I just learned that high blood pressure is so harmful. My mother had high blood pressure, and my sister and I had known about it for a long time, but we didn't realize how serious the consequences of high blood pressure could be. And, in my heart, my mother is not old. Although I have been recovering for half a year in Beijing, I am still half paralyzed and have lost the ability to speak. ”
Lin Meina's tears rolled down, Qiji handed her a tissue, she took it, and the tears couldn't stop flowing silently.
"You know, I've always wondered if if I had called an ambulance, if I had taken my mother to the Temple of Heaven Hospital, would it have been different?"
"That means your mother was sick when she was taking care of her sister in confinement?" Li Gang asked.
"Hmmm! Although I have never said anything about complaining about my sister, I actually complain about her in my heart. ”
"I think she is also very guilty! You both have the same heart. Lawyer He said leisurely.
"What God is destined to happen cannot be changed. You should stop dwelling on the past, the most important thing is to grasp the present. Kiki said comfortingly.
"Maybe as I get older, I can gradually understand my mother's past state of mind. There are so many things I want to say to her, but we can't communicate anymore. She understands everything, but she can't speak. She always smiled at me and always said 'nicely, nicely...... and I really felt sorry for her! I used to be so stupid. Why are you so capricious? Actually, I don't really care about work, that's just an excuse, I just don't want to stay under the same roof with her.
I said I liked the quilt. It was already winter by then. It's covered with a duvet. My mother took my sister with a big belly to the market and made me a quilt. While waiting for the quilt, my sister also caught a cold. Actually, my mother has always liked me the most. When I was a child, people in my grandmother's family always said that my mother was biased towards me and complained about my sister. But I felt that my mother was too strict with me.
My mother used to look at me staringly, and I still remember that look clearly, as if she was looking at a treasure, how much she loved me! Whenever I was uncomfortable with her, I showed impatience or disgust, and at that time I disliked my mother from the bottom of my heart and felt that she was old-fashioned.
When something bad happened and it was too late, I figured out a lot of things. I always think about the past, bit by bit, and finally realize that I have matured too late. ”
"Miss Lin, it's not too late, you have to convey your heart to your mother."
Lu Ming, who had not spoken, stood up and said to Lin Meina seriously. Lin Meina wiped away her tears, looked at Lu Ming with tears on her face, and nodded.
"Maybe it's because family is closest to us, but it will be ignored. Many times, we are stingy with our family members to express our love, but we put a lot of emotions in others. Different from the emotions between friends and lovers, the love of our parents for us is in the blood, and it will not be worn out by the years. Qiji said with feeling.
"When my mother wanted me to be successful, I hated her for taking advantage of me. Now my parents want me to be healthy and happy. But I always want to get ahead, return home, fight for them, and become their pride. I don't know why, why is life always so twisted! Halfway through my life, I was lost in a dark forest. ”
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lin Meina's father could be seen standing under the street lamp, and Lin Meina ran over and stepped on her father's arm, with a childlike smile on her face. A few people in the room turned around and continued to drink.
"Miss Lin, she is a woman who values love and righteousness!" Lao Zhao said.
Lawyer He sighed, "Don't underestimate life! ”
Qiji didn't come back to her senses until Lin Mina was out of sight, "Who said it wasn't!" Luck and misfortune are always two sides of the same coin. It's hard to strike a balance between gains and losses. It is only through constant setbacks that we gradually realize life. ”
Li Gang has been listening silently, drinking silently, and thinking about his thoughts silently.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the early morning, there was a light rain. The sky cleared, and the air was filled with the scent of earth. A motorcycle drove into the courtyard of the Miracle Hotel, and Li Gang took off his helmet and put it on the handlebars and ran into the door.
"Boss Qi is early!"
"Xiao Li Zao, is there something wrong?"
"I'm here to say hello to you, and I'll ride home on a motorcycle for the New Year."
Qi Ji stretched out a thumbs up to Li Gang, "Good for your parents!" ”
"Thank you Boss Qi for taking care of you."
"I didn't do anything."
"The night before yesterday, I listened to Miss Lin's story, and I didn't sleep all night after I went back, and I have been pondering your conversation. Isn't there a saying, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. There are too many mistakes and regrets in life, and we can't reverse the past, but at least, we can't continue to create regrets. You should make more good memories. I want to go back to spend the New Year with my parents, and this should be a good memory. ”
"It must be."
"Goodbye!"
"I wish you all the best in the new year."
"I wish you a lot of money!"
"Lend you good words!"
Qi Ji sent Li Gang to the door and watched him disappear at the end of the road on his motorcycle.
"Well, I'm going to cheer up for the new year! Come on! ”
