Chapter 80: The Visitation
Outside the window, there was a lot of traffic everywhere, and the sound of countless cars could be clearly heard.
When Su Changqing woke up, he heard such a voice, he looked at the ceiling a little dazed, and was in a daze like this.
It was only after a while that he heard the screeching of the alarm clock.
Jingle bells are very annoying.
Got out of bed, Su Changqing washed up, prepared his baggage, and came to the front desk of the hotel, ready to return the deposit.
Walking out of the hotel behind him, at this time, the nearby breakfast shop had already opened, Su Changqing walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the rising sun on the horizon in the distance, and suddenly felt a little stunned in his heart.
It was as if something had been lost all of a sudden.
He casually walked up to a small stall, bought a finger cake, and ate it as he walked down the street.
The finger cake was very hot, Su Changqing bit the tasteless cake, and suddenly missed Boss Bai's cooking skills.
After devouring the finger cakes, he threw the plastic bag into the trash, and then stood on the corner of the street, looking up at the white clouds in the sky.
At this time, it was autumn, and the leaves had already changed color, Su Changqing lowered his head and looked at the yellowed leaves under his feet, and blew lightly.
He ran over with his feet a little boringly, and with the crunching sound of the leaves, Su Changqing set off directly towards the fruit shop.
His destination is the Castle Peak Sanatorium, but he hasn't seen his old friends for a long time, and he also wants to buy some fruits and the like to share with everyone.
Weighing a big bag of oranges, Su Changqing bought more than 50 in total, although there are 46 people in the sanatorium, but it is also necessary to be precautionary, don't look at the appearance of 46 people, in fact, this is already a lot of people, after all, the scale of the Qingshan Sanatorium is not very large, and the daily expenses of the old people will cost a lot of money every day.
This Qingshan Sanatorium is a remote place, and few people know how to get there, so along the way, Su Changqing can only see some empty paths, and there doesn't seem to be the slightest human habitation.
Not to mention living here, there aren't even many vehicles.
Su Changqing walked slowly, looking up at the scenery around him from time to time, and he was also quite interesting along the way.
The trail is covered with fallen leaves, and from time to time the leaves on the trees are blown in the air by the wind, and it seems as if the whole world is full of yellow fallen leaves, which is very beautiful.
From time to time, there are withered yellow leaves that fall on Su Changqing's body.
He gently took the leaf in the palm of his hand, then crumpled it again. As soon as the hand was released, the fragments were blown freely by the autumn wind.
He didn't walk fast, and besides, the Qingshan Sanatorium was in a remote location, so Su Changqing walked for an hour before he arrived at the sanatorium.
After a long time, the sanatorium is still as dilapidated as ever, and it can be seen from this gate alone that it has neglected to be maintained.
When Su Changqing walked to the gate, he saw Xiao Chen, who was the doorkeeper before, standing dutifully inside the door.
I said hello to Xiao Chen, and the other party heard that he was coming to visit an old friend, so he quickly opened the door.
After handing him a big orange, Su Changqing walked in slowly, but as soon as he glanced at it, he saw a familiar figure.
Isn't this the old king of chess addicts!
His eyes lit up, but he saw that the other party was holding a white chess piece between his fingers, and he was undecided there, immersed in his own world, and it was not easy to disturb, so he could only go inside to visit everyone first, and then come over to catch up with Lao Wang.
It's just a prelude to visiting these old friends, which is to greet the dean and others here.
So Su Changqing turned around and walked towards the office of the dean and the others in a hurry.
At this time, the dean and the others already knew that someone was coming, after all, they were not deaf and could not hear the voices outside.
It's just that although he already knew that someone was coming, he didn't know who was coming, so when Su Changqing knocked on the door and went in, he was also very surprised when the people inside saw him.
After sending a few oranges as usual and chatting with the dean and others for a while, Su Changqing turned around and went to the sanatorium to take a look.
It's just that I looked at it like this, but I didn't expect a few more people to move inside.
Su Changqing looked into the room, and saw 8 or 9 people huddled in a room watching a TV, and there were several fresh faces mixed in.
Everyone is gray-haired, and their teeth are about to fall out, and the same is true for Su Changqing, but he still has a pair of dentures, so he is still very neat at eating.
The inner wall of this sanatorium already had countless cracks, and even as soon as Su Changqing slapped this wall, the dust on it fell one after another.
Su Changqing wanted to help his family, where he had lived for thirteen years, but it was a pity...... He has more than enough heart but not enough power.
With a slight sigh, his good mood of seeing many friends also vanished.
Slowly pacing outside, Su Changqing was hanging a bag with only a few oranges in his hand, and slowly walked towards Lao Wang.
Lao Wang is still playing chess, looking like he is meditating, he is like this now, and it was the same before, every time Su Changqing sees him, he can see him playing chess, as if the years have not left any traces on him, but he can only see from his face that he is now and has long been old.
patted Lao Wang's shoulder, Su Changqing saw the other party frowning, and turned his head a little unpleasantly, but at this look, the unhappiness on his original face immediately turned into surprise.
"Why are you back?"
Lao Wang asked with some surprise.
"I'm going to see you. Su Changqing looked at an old lady sitting on a chair basking in the sun, and felt some emotion in his heart.
This old lady is the sickest one in this nursing home, Alzheimer's disease is not too bad, and she sits outside in a daze every day, muttering that she doesn't know what to say.
Su Changqing sighed softly and looked at Lao Wang again.
Lao Wang glanced at the other party, paused, and didn't speak, just turned his head again and looked at Su Changqing.
He opened his mouth and asked softly, "...... How have you been?"
When Su Changqing heard this, he thought of Wang Pingzhao and the others and his own cats and dogs, and his heart was relieved, and he suddenly smiled, "...... Very good. ”
The two of them chatted about family life again, but as soon as they talked about each other's children and grandchildren, they suddenly sighed.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and in this sanatorium, Su Changqing is not the only one who is sad at home.
Those who can come here either come on their own initiative or are forcibly sent by their families.
Su Changqing looked at the still blue sky, and suddenly felt a little tired.
