encounter
Lingping City, a suburb of the outer ring, in front of Lingping Junior High School.
At noon, the streets are full of bicycles.
At that time, the economy was underdeveloped, there were few factories and enterprises, and there were not many cars on the road, even motorcycles.
"Didi ......"
No. 2, the yellow bus, with black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, stopped by the tall paulownia tree, and there was a boy waiting for the bus next to the tree.
"Hello teacher."
"Oops."
The boy was a junior high school student and didn't wear a school uniform, but it wasn't Monday, and the head teacher smiled when he saw him, and rode his bicycle around the bus to go home.
"Please be careful when you get off the bus......"
There were not many people on the bus, the door opened, and only one girl walked down.
The girl looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin body, a thin face, and big dark eyes with a little timidity.
The girl looked around and walked towards the boy.
Black gown, black pants, sleeves rolled up, pigtails one after the other, and a black cloth pocket in his hand.
The girl has tight skin, thin eyebrows, and big eyes. The eyes and lips are clearly angled, giving people a very clean and refreshing feeling.
Like a dewy lotus flower in a pond, the water droplets are crystal clear, and the petals are clean and neat, refreshing to look at. Even if you don't wear makeup, the facial features of the logo plus the standard melon seed face are very attractive.
"Hello!"
The girl and the boy talked, and the voice was small, for fear of scaring each other.
The boy turned around and politely replied "hello" before looking down.
Boy?
Of course not, it was the girl's shoes that attracted him.
The shoes worn by the girl are very special, at first glance they are made by themselves, the upper is embroidered with flowers, and the soles are also made of cloth.
The boy wanted to laugh when he saw the shoe, but the joke was not good, so he forcibly held back.
"Big brother, where is the troops······ Yes! Elder brother? ”
The woman was short-sighted, felt that the boy's face was familiar, and then quickly approached the boy, wanting to take a closer look, but did not pay attention to her feet, and tripped over the upturned stone bricks on the ground.
The boy was in front of the big tree behind the stone bricks, and he didn't dodge, but was hugged by the girl.
"Eldest sister, I'm not your brother!"
The boy shook the girl's hand away and took a step back, breathing heavily.
"That, I'm sorry, admit my mistake."
The girl touched her face with one hand, grabbed the corner of her clothes with the other, her face was flushed, she didn't dare to look at the boy, and she was very unconfident in speaking. The voice was very low, and only the three words 'admit the mistake' were quite clear.
"Big sister, the troops are behind the grove."
"Thank you......"
A girl's house, when they meet, they go up to hug a man, and this embarrassment is needless to say. After thanking her, the girl dared to stay longer, turned and ran, crossed the road to the north, and ran to the path in the grove.
"Didi ......"
The No. 5 bus came running with black smoke coming from its buttocks, and the boy got on the bus and sat down in the window seat.
"Shhhh
He took a long breath looking in the direction the girl was walking.
The boy's name is Wang Xinpeng, Lingping junior high school, junior high school, and his home is rural.
My mother fell into the village drainage ditch while harvesting peanuts and injured her leg and was treated in the hospital.
Tomorrow is Saturday, the school is not in class, Xinpeng accompanies his father in bed at night, so that his father can take a rest.
。
Hostels and hotels have off-peak seasons, but hospital beds are never vacated for too long.
Xin Peng took care of his mother early the next morning,
Before the nurse changed shifts, she pushed an injured girl in on a stretcher cart and placed her on a hospital bed that had just been vacated for the day.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh······"
The girl snorted in pain, but she was strong and didn't cry.
"Is that her?"
Xin Peng glanced at the girl with the food, and was frightened, the girl was the one who recognized the wrong person and hugged him.
But why did Xin Peng tremble when he saw the girl? I'm afraid that Xin Peng himself can't explain this matter.
"It's still on the board, why is it so badly injured?"
Xin Peng's mother, who woke up, tilted her head to look at the girl before she got up, very sympathetic.
"Mom, it's time to eat......"
Although Xin Peng recognized the girl, he didn't go over to say hello, after all, he didn't know each other, and continued to take care of his mother to eat.
。
After eating, Xin Peng sat on the edge of the bed and read a book.
The girl stared at the roof for a while, moved a few times and tried to turn over, but gave up in pain.
I couldn't lift my hands, feet and arms, and I was badly injured.
"You ......"
Turning her head slowly, the girl saw Xin Peng, and anger suddenly appeared in her eyes. But this anger quickly turned into surprise, and then she looked straight at it, and Xin Peng rubbed her eyes when she saw it.
。
"Click······"
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground is loud and rhythmic.
As soon as the door opened, the head nurse led a large group of angels in, and in an instant, the temperature of the room was much higher, making people feel warm.
The head nurse rarely comes to the ward, and I don't know what's going on today, she came so early, and she usually wears flat shoes, but today she wears high heels, and they are still shiny.
"After the ward rounds, the family members went out for a while, and the things on the table were cleaned up."
After the head nurse finished speaking, she stuffed the clinical old man's things under the bed.
"Oops, I'll come, I'll come!"
The clinical uncle saw that the head nurse was cleaning up his things, and hurriedly went over to tidy up, but he didn't need to do anything, the angels' hands were much faster than his, but after a while, the room changed.
The head nurse greeted the old man with a smile.
"Uncle, you are more energetic today."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!"
The old man smiled, his face wrinkled......
。
The uncle's surname is Hu, he is 80 years old this year, a retired worker, and his wife died last year.
His illness was so difficult to treat that he had to come to the hospital twice a year.
The old man is kind and likes to talk to people, but he has long said that he will be discharged from the hospital but has not left.
Xin Peng's mother asked him why he was not discharged from the hospital, and Uncle Hu said that this time he came to his eldest daughter's house to care for the elderly, and the eldest daughter had to clean up the house before she could pick him up.
"You are so blessed, your four daughters are all vying to raise, and they are all so filial!"
Xin Peng's mother said enviously, and the old man cried and laughed after hearing it. He took a cigarette roll from his jacket pocket, looked at it and put it back, bowed his head and sighed.
"Hey, what's the use of filial piety, isn't this taking off the door number!"
The old man frowned and his expression was gloomy, and in his opinion, the succession was more important than his daughter's filial piety.
"Uncle, what house number is not the same, men and women are the same! Which of your four daughters is worse than your son. Look at your four sons-in-law, they are all here to serve you in bed, be content! ”
Xin Peng's mother finished speaking, Xin Peng interjected.
"Yes, Grandpa Hu, the old lady in the next room, the three sons, none of them cared about her. Yesterday her sons were fighting in the yard! I heard that I didn't want to take money for the hospitalization fee, so it's really not a thing. ”
"Little children talk less!"
Xin Peng's mother slapped Xin Peng and reminded him not to talk nonsense.
"I ......"
Xin Peng was about to refute when a group of doctors walked in.
The girl who has been looking at Xinpeng has set her sights on the doctor.
。
The doctors briefly looked at Xinpeng's mother's condition and came to the bedside of the injured girl.
"Director Liu, she is a patient number transferred from the intensive care unit."
The thin doctor spoke to the fat doctor with a very respectful expression.
Director Liu didn't speak, but pulled the girl's eyes and made her stick out her tongue again.
From the thin doctor's hand, he picked up the medical records that had been prepared earlier and looked at them again, and then pressed the girl's flank again.
"What about the family members of Bed Four?"
"Director Liu, she is from Guqiao County, Xiangchen City. Now there is no family to accompany the bed, so I called to ask, and Officer Li said that her family had been contacted. ”
The thin doctor hurriedly replied, and after listening to the director, he put down the medical record and asked the girl.
"What's your name······ Where do you live? ”
After asking twice, the girl didn't answer, she just stared straight at her with big eyes.
Director Liu, who ignored her, led the doctors out of the ward.
。
Uncle Hu's eldest daughter actually came early, because the doctor was waiting in the corridor during the ward rounds, and she didn't come in until the doctor left.
She was very enthusiastic, put food for her father, and when she saw the new sick number, she took a stool and sat down beside the girl's bed, and arranged the sheets for the girl.
"Girl, how did you get hurt?"
The girl blinked and didn't speak, and then she asked, "Girl, where are you?" ”
The girl still didn't speak.
"Girl, are you hungry, come, I have chicken soup here, I don't want to drink it."
Uncle Hu said, bringing the chicken soup sent by his eldest daughter to the girl.
The eldest daughter of the uncle didn't say anything, took the chicken soup and took the spoon and fed it to the girl.
"Come on, my dad didn't drink this chicken soup, don't dislike it."
"Thank you······"
After the girl said thank you, tears welled up in her eyes.
The girl did not want to speak, and the old man's daughter did not ask again, but took care of her to drink some chicken soup and eat some chicken.
The girl was lucky enough to meet a good Samaritan.
。
"My name is Zhou Xiaoyan......"
After the girl finished eating, she said that she was twenty years old, from Guqiao County, and came here to find someone.
"How did you get hurt?"
……
Uncle Hu's daughter still wanted to ask about her injury, but the girl didn't say anything.
。
After dinner in the evening, Xin Peng walked around the corridor. Although there is a fan in the room, it is not as cool as in the hallway.
"I heard them at the nurses' station, it looked like a suicide fall······"
"What's the big deal, I'm going to jump off the building, I'm young, why don't I go this way······"
The two women near the ward probed their brains at the door of the ward to discuss Xiao Yan, and Xin Peng knew that Xiao Yan had committed suicide and was seriously injured.
"Mom, she's a ...... who committed suicide"
"Oh, how did you kill yourself at a young age......"
Xin Peng returned to the ward and whispered to his mother, Xiao Yan heard it, but she didn't make a sound, and cried with her back to them.
。
The next day, Uncle Hu was discharged from the hospital, and the room was much quieter. Otherwise, her daughter would come and talk about her family's affairs almost non-stop.
"Sister nurse, that Zhou Xiaoyan has finished playing the bottle......"
"Sister nurse, that Zhou Xiaoyan said that she wants to go to the toilet......"
No one has a hard time going out.
Zhou Xiaoyan had no one to take care of, so Xin Peng's mother asked Xin Peng to help her look at the hanging bottle, and when she wanted to urinate, she asked him to call a nurse.
。
"Give you dumplings to eat."
Xin Peng pity Xiaoyan, and when he buys food for his mother in the future, he will buy an extra one by the way, and it won't cost a few dollars.
Although they were not rich in those days, Xin Peng's family still had a little money, because Xin Peng's father was a small business, buying and selling.
The people in the village didn't like Xin Peng's father, they all said that he was a profiteer, and later Xin Peng's father didn't do business and switched to construction, but his reputation did not get better.
"Thank you......"
Xinpeng bought food for himself, Xiaoyan was very grateful, and every time he thanked him, he would stare at Xinpeng for a long time.
I was lucky to have jumped off a building and committed suicide without falling my brain, maybe God had mercy on this hard-working child, so that she met so many well-wishers when she was hospitalized.
。
After 7 days, the little goose is a little better and can move its head at will.
People eat breakfast, animals also have to eat, Xin Peng took care of the little goose just eaten, and found a group of sparrows outside the window also chirping on the windowsill to compete for food,
It's a pleasant sight.
"Xinpeng, look, those sparrows are looking for food again."
"yes, they're really good memorable."
"Well, you sprinkled some steamed buns on the windowsill last night, and they haven't eaten enough!"
"I'll sprinkle some more ...... later"
"Squeak ......"
Before Xin Peng could finish speaking, a young nurse walked in with a cart.
The bearings of the trolley were not good, and it made a "crunching" sound, so she parked the trolley at the door so that the patient would not be dissatisfied.
"Xiaopeng, don't feed the birds, clean up for the little goose, it's time to get a needle."
"Got it."
Xin Peng took the steamed buns to feed the sparrows, and after listening to his mother's words, he put down the steamed buns and cleaned up the little goose's small table.
。
"What's your name?"
The nurse put the tray in her hand on the small table and looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
"Her name is Zhou Xiaoyan!"
Without waiting for Xiaoyan to answer, Xin Peng spoke it out for her.
Actually, the nurse knows her name, but this is the hospital's system, and in order to prevent the wrong medicine, she must ask the patient's name every time she takes the medicine to reconfirm it and prevent accidents.
"Kid, bring the tape to my sister."
The nurse was joking, Xin Peng naturally knew, but he still pleaded his case.
"Little friend? I'm in the third year of junior high school, besides, have you ever seen such a tall child! ”
Xin Peng took the adhesive tape from the trolley and handed it to the nurse, and the two stood together, he was taller than the nurse.
"Oh, it's not a child, so how old are you?"
The nurse spoke in a gentle and soft voice, she seemed to like Xin Peng, and every time she came to the ward to get a needle, she would say a few words to Xin Peng.
"I'm 16 years old!"
"Oh, little comrade, I'm done pricking her, it's time to give your mother a needle."
"Little comrade? I said, are you nurses all so humorous? ”
"Giggle······
Crisp laughter came from the white mask. The eyes narrowed into a line.
。
"Auntie, what's your name?"
"Zhou Liying"
Xinpeng's mother stretched out one arm as she spoke, and the nurse pricked her with a needle.
"I'll hang it!"
The nurse took out the hanging bottle from the cart, and Xin Peng hurriedly took it and hung it on the shelf, and the nurse looked at him approvingly.
The nurse's other name is Angel in White, because they always bring people a smile and warmth, not only the boys like it, even Xin Peng's mother likes to talk to the nurse.
"Doctor, girl, do I have to hang the bottle tomorrow?"
"Giggles, Auntie, you're so funny!"
The nurse was amused by Xin Peng's mother's words, and her smiling eyes narrowed into a line again, although she was wearing a mask, she still covered her mouth with the back of her hand.
"Auntie, we don't know about this, we have to ask the doctor."
For some reason, she seemed to blush and her ears were red after she finished speaking.
"Oh, girl, how many are there today?"
"That's it!"
"Oh, oh, good ······"
