In the 100th year I traveled

In the perception of autumn travel, time passes quickly. It is obviously still summer when we come, but it is already autumn in a blink of an eye.

An evergreen tree outside the ward was infected for some reason, and its leaves had almost fallen. Only a few half-yellow and not green leaves hung between the treetops, bearing the baptism of the autumn wind.

The woman wore a white knitted hat, and sat half-sitting on the bed, looking a little sad. Qiuxing sat on the side, holding a small knife and nimbly cutting an apple into the shape of a rabbit, and placed it in the fruit bowl.

"When that leaf falls, my life will come to an end." The woman said heavily, and then was hit hard by the dark-faced Qiuxing.

"What nonsense, it's just a leaf." As Qiuxing said, he opened the window, picked up a walnut on the plate, and knocked down the leaves that were already crumbling.

So far, the tree that should have been evergreen is left with only a bare branch, which looks quite artistic from a distance.

"Xiao Xing, it's so fierce." The woman covered her head and said aggrievedly, "Obviously I am the mother."

"Of course I know you are a mother, but as a mother, you have to be more reliable."

The woman asked in frustration: "Am I unreliable?"

"Reliable, reliable." Qiuxing said as if admitting defeat, with one eye closed, a little helpless: "My mother is the most reliable."

"Hmph, of course, I'm an adult." The woman triumphantly bit the apple her son fed, and a tulip in a vase by the bed added some warmth to the small ward.

"Okay, okay." Qiuxing responded.

After a while, the woman seemed a little sleepy, rolled up the quilt, and fell asleep after a while.

During the period, the nurse came in to check it again, and I couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in my heart. Although the mental state has always been good, but the body has not been as good as the day before.

The only good thing is that the terminal illness that should have been painful didn't seem to be so painful when it came to the woman. It seemed that someone was taking care of this woman to make her less uncomfortable.

Little Bear's obsidian-like eyes darkened. Even if he couldn't interfere with the time of death, he could still reduce the pain a little bit.

Qiu Xing stared at the sleeping woman for a while, his small palm covered the woman's sick and thin fingers.

Compared with the one he saw just now, she was completely covered by the disease at this moment, and even her hair had almost fallen out due to the treatment. Because she didn't want him to see her, she always wore a hat.

He got up, tucked in the quilt for the woman, and came to the bare tree outside the window.

Little Bear jumped out of his arms, took out a mobile phone, and dialed a number.

After a while, a construction team came and uprooted the diseased tree, which affected the appearance of the city, and replaced it with a green tree that bloomed luxuriantly even in autumn.

There is still one month, and there are the unique dry lines of the trees under his hands. In between the calculations of autumn, there is still one month, before the first snow of this year, he will once again usher in that hard-won day.

"The weather is getting colder, let's go back!" Qi Bai jumped into his arms from an unscientific angle, which was obviously just a doll, and said softly: "If you get sick, mom will be worried."

"That's right." As soon as he finished speaking, Qiuxing couldn't help but sneezed and rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Big brother..." Qi Bai became a little angry.

"Okay, I got it." Qiuxing tightened his clothes and walked in obediently.

After the woman woke up after a nap, she was much more energetic, and when she looked up, she saw green everywhere.

"...Xiao Xing!"

"Mom, what's the matter." Qiuxing asked while flipping through the comic book.

"That..." The woman pointed out the window.

"Isn't that a tree?"

"No, no, it wasn't like that before I fell asleep!"

"Well, the dean said it would hinder the appearance of the city, so he changed it."

The corner of the woman's mouth twitched, she was not stupid, there must be something tricky in it.

"Dr. Chen said that you are in good health recently. The weather will be fine tomorrow. You can go out for a walk."

"Hey..." The woman opened her eyes wide and asked, "Don't lie to me."

"How dare a small one." Qiu Xing replied with a smile.

Under the suspicious eyes of the woman, Qiuxing made a phone call and asked the woman to confirm it herself, so she was relieved.

"Relax!" Qiuxing stuffed the little bear into the woman's arms, and said softly, "I will take good care of my mother."

"Hmm." The woman's eye circles were slightly red, and she didn't say anything more.

'Doctor Chen, how much time do I have? '

'If you actively cooperate with the treatment...'

'I want to be honest, although I don't feel pain, I can feel that I am getting weaker every day. '

'One month...'

Tears fell down, 'It's so short. '

'Your kids asked me that question too. '

'I didn't answer, but that child is very smart, I found out in your medical records that you have been touched...'

'I see. The woman wiped away her tears and calmed down. If she is not strong at this moment, then two people will collapse at once.

The next day, the sun was just right.

The woman opened the box next to her bed, a gift her son had carefully prepared for him.

Wigs, cosmetics, dresses, shoes...

Everything was so to her taste, and it was her favorite thing when she wasn't living here.

The bright red lipstick made her look less sick, and the clothes that were too thick for autumn were wrapped around her body to cover up her thin body. Finally, the slightly wavy wig was put on her head. In a daze, she seemed to see that high-spirited man again. of myself.

The self in the mirror has been beautified, at least in autumn, the woman looks frighteningly thin.

"Am I beautiful today?" the woman asked.

"It's beautiful." Qiuxing smiled.

The woman naturally held Qiuxing's hand. In the past few months, her son has grown a lot taller.

"Are you still holding the bear today?" the woman asked.

Qiuxing blinked and said, "No more hugs."

Bear:  …

"I'm carrying it." After finishing speaking, he opened the small black bag that he had been carrying all the time, and put the little bear in it carefully.

"Cute." The woman couldn't help but waver.

The sun was just right, and there were people coming and going on the street, but this time both of them lost interest in shopping, holding each other's hand, refusing to let go.

On the way, the woman seemed to think of something, bought a small bunch of baby's breath at the flower shop by the roadside, stopped a passing taxi, and went up the mountain.

Qiuxing was silent all the way, halfway on the way, he already guessed where he was going.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen your father for a long time." The woman looked at the baby's breath in her hand like a little girl, "When I was in college, your father obviously liked me to death, but he didn't dare to confess. As a result, I went to college for four years, and every birthday, I would receive a bunch of stars."

"Mom, I was the school belle at the beginning, and all I received were roses, and things like gypsophila were not suitable for me at all."

Hmph, that man is obviously not bad, but he is extremely shy. He knows how to deal with computers all day long. Even if he meets in the library by chance, sitting across from him, he will only read nervously. He obviously even holds the book backwards. Did not notice.

But it was also because of various reasons that finally caught her attention.

"But you still chose Dad in the end." Qiuxing turned around and asked, "Mom, do you regret it?"

The man who died willfully before his child was born, without him, the woman should be able to form a happier family.

With a bang, the woman rewarded her son with a big bag without hesitation, "What do you say, you are the most precious treasure he left for me."

"Of course." Qiuxing admitted without hesitation, "After all, it is rare to see such an excellent son as me."

"Huh." The woman was suddenly a little angry, pinched her son's little face, and said angrily: "Your father is really too, obviously you liked me so much at the beginning and didn't dare to confess, but it turned out that on the day of graduation, I held the The rose was thrown straight in his face."

"Hahaha." Qiuxing laughed heartily, which attracted the attention of the taxi driver.

"So, when you meet someone you like in the future, you must take the initiative to attack." The woman said with a tone of someone who has come, "Never be like your father."

Autumn travel: Although it is very useful, I am afraid that this belated experience will not be used until the day it is used.

Your daughter-in-law is right now lying in my backpack.

After a while, the driver arrived at the destination.

This area is sparsely populated, the driver looked at the two of them, and after learning that they were going to sweep the grave, they would come back soon, and offered to wait for them for a while.

After the two thanked each other, they walked to the depths of the tombstone.

"I haven't been here for a long time." The woman sighed, "It seems that there are a lot of new graves."

"But that's okay, it's fun."

Autumn Walk: "..."

On the cold tombstone is a picture of an overly young man, smiling shyly, his eyes don't know which direction to look.

The woman touched his photo and put down the flowers: "You idiot, why did you leave so early."

"Our son is super cute, you won't even see him anymore." The woman was rambling, just like the most common complaint.

"Ahem, mother." Qiuxing coughed twice, and couldn't bear to look directly.

"He is my husband, what's the matter?" The woman seemed a little dissatisfied, and poked the person in the photo twice.

"Don't dare." Qiu Xing said embarrassingly, "Dad must be super happy to hear that."

For my father, Qiuxing didn't have much concept. When I was a child, the woman put away everything related to him. Gradually, after letting go, she was able to face it calmly, and the number of times she mentioned it gradually increased.

But for Qiu Xing, the father who has never met has gradually evolved into a symbolic existence in a long time.

The feelings that I once longed for have long been buried in the depths and covered by various things.

"Well, he has always been obedient to me." The woman's expression became gentle.

Next to this tombstone with the shy photo is another blank tombstone. The woman smiled. She bought it by accident at the beginning, but she didn't expect that it would be used after only a few decades.

The woman saw it, and of course Qiu Xing saw it too, but he chose to remain silent.

"Let's go." The woman said, "After seeing it, I feel at ease."

"Okay." Qiuxing clenched the woman's cold hand, and it took a while before he passed his warmth over.

"Xiaoxing, mom wants to be discharged from the hospital."

"it is good."

"Xiaoxing is really sensible!"

"..."
