Life is more than just living

Zhang Jiaqi asked: "What happened next?" Cheng Qi cleared her throat, "Then, later, he couldn't bear to live without me and agreed! Okay, please forgive me. I'm thirsty after talking so much. I’m so tired, please give me a rest!”

After a while, Zhang Jiaqi couldn't help but ask again: "Cheng Qi, when did you make up your mind to marry your brother?"

Cheng Qi tilted her head and thought for a while, probably when she was eleven or twelve years old! Under everyone's eager eyes, Cheng Qi had no choice but to continue:

Chenggong has always insisted on picking up the baby in the morning and evening. The combination of Chenggong and the baby is extremely eye-catching wherever he goes. Because Cheng's height is particularly outstanding, and the baby is small for his age.

In 2003, reports about SARS were overwhelming. The epidemic originally occurred as early as 2002, but it did not attract the attention of the people in Beicheng. In 2003, with various forms of publicity reports, citizens finally paid attention to SARS. Migrant workers are returning home one after another. When the baby goes to school every day, someone takes the temperature at the school gate, causing everyone to panic. If someone has a fever, he should be sent to the hospital immediately, and other personnel should be constantly checked. Adult babies are young and indifferent to these.

But suddenly one night, the baby suddenly developed a high fever. When the temperature was measured, it was already 39.5c. Successfully prepared to take the baby to the hospital, but unexpectedly, the baby, who was dizzy with fever, suddenly objected, "I don't want to go to the hospital. I heard that if you go to the hospital now, you will be quarantined if you have a fever. I don't want to be quarantined, because I'm afraid I won't be able to see my brother." "Sheng Cheng hesitated. No one in Beicheng has contracted the disease yet, and the hospital has no treatment experience. Man said that the baby may not be sick, and even if it is, it may not be cured after going to the hospital. Successfully sat next to the baby and looked at the baby's red face. He resolutely decided not to send the baby to the hospital. He picked her up and put her face against the baby's face and said in the baby's ear: "Baby, brother can't let you be alone in the hospital. There are heat-clearing and detoxifying products at home." There are traditional Chinese medicine and oral antibiotics, so let’s take the medicine at home. If you really have SARS, your brother will be with you."

The baby reluctantly opened his eyes and pushed Cheng Cheng weakly, "Brother, just put me on the bed and put the medicine and water on the bedside. Get out quickly and don't pass it on to you." Cheng Cheng hugged her tightly and said, "It's okay. Yes, baby, I will always stay with you and won’t let you be alone. If something happens to you, I can stay with you in the hospital if I get it. If you have something wrong, my brother’s life will be meaningless. "

The baby's eyes were red because of the fever. She looked at Chenggong and touched Chenggong's face with her hot hands, "Brother, you are so kind to me, but if I really die, you have to live well and save me." It's enough to live out that part." Cheng Cheng hugged her tightly and was speechless, "Baby, be brave, it'll be okay. You said that your brother is good to you, so you must also be good to your brother. We can't leave my brother alone." Shengli called the baby's class teacher and told him that he would take the baby back to the countryside to escape. The head teacher agreed, and many unreasonable requests during extraordinary times were approved. Successfully asked for leave from his boss Lin Hengtai for the same reason. The brother and sister stayed at home. After successfully feeding the baby medicine, he continued to wipe the baby's body with a warm towel to physically cool down. The baby's body temperature will drop after taking the medicine, but it will rise again after a while. The baby is half asleep and half awake. When she is in a bad mood, she will drive Cheng Cheng out. Cheng Cheng will always say pitifully that she doesn't want to be alone and is scared to be alone, so she asks the baby to stay with her.

The baby has fever over and over again, and then the fever goes down and then the fever goes down again. Three days later, the baby's body temperature finally returned to normal, but he didn't have much energy. He lost a lot of weight and his eyes became red. The baby hugged Chenggong distressedly, "Brother, I always make you worry. I'm sorry for making you worry." Chenggong kissed the baby again and again on the forehead, "Baby, it's meaningful for your brother to live with you, so You can't leave brother, you know that?" The two hugged each other with red eyes and stopped talking. They were glad that it was not SARS and that they were still together.

Not long after SARS passed, at the end of the first semester of sixth grade, a classmate suddenly had chickenpox in the class. When the baby came home, he was so frightened that he immediately asked the baby to take leave and not go to class. But for a few days Later, the baby still had a high fever. The rising temperature of the baby in the middle of the night frightened Cheng Cheng. He immediately picked up the baby and went straight to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, I discovered that the hospital had admitted many patients with chickenpox, most of whom were primary and secondary school students. The doctor saw the rash on the baby and told him that this was the early symptom of chickenpox. After explaining some precautions, she told Chenggong: There is no need to be hospitalized and you can go home, which will provide better care. Hospital beds are in short supply and there are no empty beds.

After successfully carrying the baby home, the baby felt itchy and always wanted to scratch it with his hands. After success, I grabbed the baby's two little hands and coaxed and persuaded. Overnight, many oval-shaped blisters appeared on the baby's thighs, chest and back. In the afternoon, there were blisters even in my upper throat. Successfully measured the baby's temperature every 20 minutes. The doctor advised that the temperature should not exceed 38.5c and no cooling was required. The baby felt uncomfortably hot, so she hugged him and rubbed against him, trying to cool him down. Chenggong was afraid that his clothes would carry germs, so he quickly put on clean pajamas and pajamas and held the baby in his arms. The baby wants to put his face against the baby's face to cool down, but the baby is not allowed to rub it because he is afraid that it will burst the bubbles on his face and leave scars in the future. The baby reluctantly opened his eyes and asked: "Brother, the doctor said that chickenpox is a viral infection. Will you be infected? It's too uncomfortable. I don't want my brother to get chickenpox." After hearing this, Chenggong's eye circles turned red, lying to the baby. He said: "Don't be afraid. My brother had chickenpox when he was a child. People who have had chickenpox will not get it again." The baby was relieved and slept peacefully. However, he did not dare to sleep because he was afraid that she would rub his face and scratch his body. He successfully adjusted the air conditioner to At the appropriate temperature, he continued to use calamine lotion and gently wiped the baby's body.

Growing up heard about this situation and called Chenggong: "You never had chickenpox when you were a child. Be careful. Chickenpox is more dangerous for adults than for children." The baby heard it from the side and asked weakly: "Brother, why did you lie to me? Successfully kissed her gently and said, "Baby, no matter what happens, brother will be with you, so you don't have to be afraid at all." Five days later, the baby also developed chickenpox on the soles of his hands and feet. It was extremely itchy and uncomfortable. She was very irritable and had a good temper, so she let her lose her temper. The baby was tired and became well-behaved again. "Brother, please take a nap for a while. I promise not to move these bubbles. You are already thin." Shengli shook his head and said, "When I sleep, the baby will be boring." After a week, he finally gradually faded away. Things got better, and the baby suddenly lost more than ten pounds. After taking a bath that night, Chenggong and the baby finally slept peacefully. The baby finally got over chicken pox, and the vacation started after the final exam. Cheng Cheng was worried that the baby would get sick again, so he wouldn't let her go anywhere. He bought her many plush toys that girls like and some fairy tale books, and stayed with her there. At home, everything in the company is controlled by remote control.

One Sunday morning, growth paid a surprise visit. Because they are busy in their respective fields, the brothers do not see each other often even though they live in the same county. Cheng Chenggong looked unhappy when he saw Chang Cheng, and hurriedly let him into the small bedroom that was used as a study. Then he came over and turned on the TV in the living room, turned up the volume, and placed the baby on the sofa to watch TV. He walked into the study, closed the door, and asked, "Are you okay?" Cheng Cheng glared at Cheng Cheng angrily, "Sheng Cheng, go look in the mirror and see if you still recognize yourself? Do you know what you look like now? .You are in your 20s, can you be more considerate? I am also surprised. There is just such a little girl with a little carrot head, and you hang around her all day long. Don’t you think you are sick? Wake up! Your mother calls that child a vixen all day long. I think the problem is with you. I know you didn’t enjoy the warmth of family when you were a child, but it’s okay for you to seek warmth from such a young child. Why are you going too far? The sinking is getting deeper and deeper. Have you ever thought about it. In the future, this child will go to college and fall in love and get married. She will no longer need you. What will you do? "

Success is puzzling, "Of course I know she will grow up and start a family. But the baby can't live without me. I can buy a big house and live together, and I can still continue to take care of her and protect her from letting her husband bully her." What's the matter, what's the matter? Why are you so angry? As for that? I didn't do anything treacherous."

"Are you sick? You are still thinking about taking care of her when she gets married in the future. How can you take care of her? Go into her house in the middle of the night, see if she is covered with quilts, and lie outside her door to listen to see if her husband is bullying her? What do you think? Are you normal? Now that child is helpless and needs you to take care of her. When she grows up, she will no longer need you. Do you understand?" Chenggong looked at the growth with hurt, "What are you talking about! You also have a daughter. When your Jiaojiao grows up, she will no longer be your daughter when she gets married? Do you not need to care for her?" The veins on his temples were pulsing with anger at her growth, "Jiaojiao is my daughter. , the baby is not your daughter, not even your sister! You are two unrelated people to begin with. Can it be the same? Besides, our Jiaojiao is five or six years old now, so I let her live in a room by herself. How different is it from you? I don't object to you taking care of a student who is about to enter middle school as a kindergarten child, but you have to have some control. I don't think the child is relying on you, but you are relying on her as if you are boneless. I just want to say, One day, people still want to live their own lives without your meticulous care. What should you do? You are an adult now. You can try to get in touch with girls of similar age, start a family, and live a happy life. In a normal life, your sister-in-law comes into contact with a lot of girls, so let him introduce you to a few."

Upon hearing the introduction, Chenggong refused, "No! The baby will be sad if he sees me with someone else." The growth finger pointed at him, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he rushed out the door in anger. After successfully sending off the growth, I looked back and saw the baby standing in the middle of the living room holding a small bunny toy. Only then did Cheng Cheng realize that the TV had been turned off at some point, so she must have heard the argument between him and his growth. Success walked to the baby hesitantly, not knowing what to say. The baby kissed the little rabbit, carried it to the edge of the sofa and sat down, and Chenggong followed him and sat next to it. The baby raised his head and glanced at Chenggong, then looked down at the fairy tale book on the coffee table, "Brother, I will never leave you. Although I am young, I know that no one will love me more than you, and I will too. You can't love others the way you love your brother. Our teacher said that fairy tales are all fiction and deception, but I feel that my brother and I are like people living in fairy tales. There are no other people, just the two of us living a happy life. One day , our school organized students to watch a movie in the government auditorium, and we saw a madman. Everyone went to watch, some laughed at her, and some sympathized with her, but I envied her very much. She smiled and sang and danced. She lived in her own world. In this world, you don’t care what other people think. I think she is happy.” Cheng Cheng was shocked after hearing this. She didn’t expect that the baby, who seemed so carefree, would observe the outside world in detail and understand his feelings. He was thinking and said something that made him sad. He picked up the baby and held him in his arms, "Baby, my brother is also a happy madman. However, he will not tie you down. He is willing to be a big tree and let you be a free bird. You can fly freely. , when you are tired from flying, go back to your brother's arms to rest." The baby hugged the baby successfully and stuck together closely. "If my brother were a big tree, I would make a vine. It will entangle you and not let go." In order to show himself that he does not want to let go. It will hinder the baby's happiness, not a stumbling block. Successfully started to prepare a dowry for the baby. He imagined the baby getting married and imagined the baby's happy life, while he lived together like an invisible person without disturbing his life. I know that growing up is a true brother, and whatever he says is for his own good, but life is not a script, and he does not make changes to suit the audience.

The baby still wants to sleep on Chenggong every night. Cheng Cheng gradually felt that this was really not possible. If the baby got married in the future, it would be easy to say or not. The baby is already in middle school. Although he is younger than other middle school students, he still sleeps in the same bed and quilt with him. I am afraid it will affect the baby's reputation. So the attitude towards success this time was very firm and very persistent. The two began to sleep in separate rooms. The baby starts out crying like an abandoned puppy. But seeing that his attitude toward success was unprecedentedly determined, he didn't dare to say anything. It's just that if you want success, you have to wait until you fall asleep before leaving. I had no choice but to coax her to sleep every night. After she fell asleep, I went back to the small bedroom to sleep. I would also come in the middle of the night to see if she had kicked off the quilt. The baby doesn't understand why they have to be separated. But one night when she woke up, she found that Chenggong had quietly come to cover herself with a quilt. I feel that my brother still loves me the same, so he must have his reasons for sleeping separately. Slowly, the baby will adapt. Children are very adaptable, but Cheng is no longer a child. He cannot adapt to the absence of his baby by his side for a long time. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to cover my baby with a quilt and sit next to the baby's bed for a while. Sometimes he feels very melancholy. If one day the baby grows up and falls in love with another boy and leaves him, will he be willing to do so? Success is a bet that if the baby can't let go of him, then everyone can live together, which means recruiting a son-in-law. For this reason, Cheng Cheng feels that he needs to earn more money. Only when the woman is wealthy can she possibly let the man marry her. Marrying off the baby and leaving yourself alone is not a consideration. You and your baby are one family. If you must start a family in the future, you have to wait until the baby gets married, otherwise the baby will not adapt.

Since seven years ago, Chenggong has determined that his baby is his relative and an important part of his life. It has nothing to do with life experience, age or gender. In the heart of success, the baby is the most important person to him. As long as two people are safe and have enough food and clothing, they are already happy.

The sequelae of being sick twice in a row is that the baby becomes more clingy and successful.

Cheng Qi looked at the engaged audience and said, "My brother is an excellent person. Of course I can't give up such a good person to anyone else. Neither of us can live without the other!"
