fire rescue

That night, Zheng Yi and his mother chatted until very late before going to bed. He was obviously very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep lying on the long-lost bed in his room.He has thought about a lot of things. From the past to the present, it is clear that most of the difficulties in front of him have been resolved, but there is always some lingering sadness in his heart. He cannot control the emergence of this emotion. Maybe it has been accumulated for too long, too much. The reason why the grievances and resentments cannot be completely dissipated.

The mother said that she had decided to remarry with Zhao Mingyu, and that she hoped that Zheng Yi would move back. She expressed the idea of ​​inviting Bai Hewei home as a guest, and even said that she would use the money to renovate the house that she bought two years ago. And Bai Hewei's family, after all, Changchun Town is too far away, the place is small, and I'm afraid that others will make irresponsible remarks... His mother helped him think of many details, such things are not easy to come by.He was a little timid because of his closeness to his hometown, and he couldn't believe that all this was true.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zheng Yi tried to send Bai Hewei a WeChat message, only asking him if he had slept, but he didn't have any hope.But after a while, Bai Hewei called directly.Zheng Yi lowered his voice and chatted with Bai Hewei, talking a lot. Bai Hewei listened quietly on the other end of the phone, and as he talked, he would occasionally think that the other party might be tired of listening to him and fell asleep. However, as long as he said "Hi", Bai Hewei would gently say to him, "Say it, I'm listening."

Zheng Yi felt that Bai Hewei was very nice, and listened to him tirelessly, sharing the endless joy in his heart. It wasn't until the sky turned white and the phone became hot that Zheng Yi realized that the two had been chatting for too long.He was in a much better mood, and said "thank you" into the microphone, but Bai Hewei said, "Stupid, why are you thanking me?"

Zheng Yi bent his lips and smiled, stretched his waist, and said, "Senior, you are very kind."

"Of course." Bai Hewei also smiled, with a triumphant tone.

At this time, there was some noise on the other end of the phone, and he said: "My dad is awake and making trouble. By the way, you tell auntie, I will go to see her after my dad is discharged from the hospital."

"Oh, I see."

The sweetness of love is generally like this, caring, understanding, companionship... Zheng Yi looked at the sun gradually rising outside the window, and felt that life was full of hope.

The busyness of work dilutes the long-standing sadness. Colleagues seem to have noticed the smile on Zheng Yi's mouth from time to time these days, and jokingly ask him if something good is coming.In their impression, Zheng Yi has been in love for a long time, but he has never seen a wedding invitation, and no one has even seen his legendary girlfriend.Zheng Yi shook his head and denied it. Seeing that everyone was even more puzzled, he said, "Don't guess, it's just that he's in a good mood recently." There are many reasons for his good mood, because he pretended to be mysterious, and they didn't ask further questions no matter how curious they were.

Without a car for a while, Zheng Yi didn't go back to the city often. After all, it was inconvenient to commute to and from get off work. He was originally scheduled to go to Suijiang this weekend, but the news that Zhao Rui was discharged from the hospital and returned to Lingquan to recuperate caused him to delay the trip.

Zheng Yi and his mother went to the hospital to visit Zhao Rui and bought flowers and a lot of nutritional products. Zhao Mingyu was not in the ward, and the nurse said that he went to the doctor's office to listen to the follow-up treatment plan.The person lying in the ward was probably Zhao Rui, and sitting beside the bed was a gentle young man who looked a few years younger than Zheng Yi and was peeling grapes for Zhao Rui. This was probably Zhao Rui's lover. After the operation, he also looked weak and sick, and his complexion was not very good.

Before he had time to say hello, Zhao Mingyu came back at this time. His already thin body looked even thinner now, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. He was very happy to see their mother and son here. He introduced with a smile: "Xiao Yi, This is my son Zhao Rui, and this is his friend Xia Yunhan." The young man whose name was called smiled at them as a greeting, and then focused his attention on Zhao Rui again.The two people who have experienced life and death seem to cherish the time they spend together, and they are not even willing to share some with others.

Zhao Mingyu sighed: "Xiao Xia also had an operation, but it just so happens that she has to take care of Zhao Rui by herself, we can't even say it,"

Zheng Yi's gaze stayed on them, and he couldn't help thinking that anyone would be moved by this affection alone.If it were him, he would probably be so heart-wrenching to Bai Hewei.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Mingyu took out his cigarette and said, "Xiao Yi, come out with me for a cigarette?"

Zheng Yi nodded and followed him out.

At the corner of the stairs, there are many smokers gathered. Although the prohibition of smoking is posted everywhere, everyone seems to have not seen it. They either find a quiet corner by themselves, or a few people gather together to distract the care of the patients by puffing. pressure.When he was in Suijiang, Bai Hewei was addicted to cigarettes, sometimes he disappeared, but he could always be found in places where smokers gathered.

Zheng Yi helped Zhao Mingyu light a cigarette, and the two smoked a few puffs at each other, then Zhao Mingyu said, "You chatted well with your mother?"

"Well, I just wanted to thank you too, thanks to you, otherwise my mother would not give in."

Zhao Mingyu waved his hand, "I also want to relax myself, it's too uncomfortable to hold back, who knows that Zhao Rui is sick at this time, hey..."

"I think they're fine."

Zhao Mingyu nodded with a smile, "Xiao Xia is a one-sided guy. He sticks to Zhao Rui and refuses to give up. It's not easy for two people to start a business together. After working hard all the way, the house is bought and the business is booming." , all this is just right, but Zhao Rui got this disease, which drained all their hard work at once, but Xiao Xia still thinks it's worth it, and always tells me that it's good that people are still alive, and money is something outside of the body. Me and Your mother said that even husband and wife may not be able to do what they do, and your mother was touched when she saw it."

"Yes, I'm sorry for her, for making such a fuss for myself."

Zhao Mingyu said: "You don't have to feel guilty, Qian Fan will always get better and better."

Zheng Yi nodded, remembering the chat with his mother that night, and asked: "Uncle Zhao, when are you two going to get the certificate, and I'll have a wedding candy too."

Zhao Mingyu shook his head with a lonely expression on his face.This made Zheng Yi very puzzled.

"Zhao Rui's disease is too costly, and the anti-rejection medicine costs more than 1 yuan a month. If your mother is really with me, the pressure will be too great..."

"But..." Zheng Yi wanted to say something, but Zhao Mingyu interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

He stubbed out the cigarette butt on the window sill, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the blue sky outside the window, "Xiao Yi, I called you out just to talk about this. I cherish your mother very much, but reality always makes people Unpredictable. Zhao Rui has a money-spending disease. As a father, I can't just watch it. The family savings can at least help them survive for a while, but to be honest, life is always going to be hard , this is no joke."

Zheng Yi lowered his head and said nothing, he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Mingyu sighed and continued: "You don't need to have any mental burden. I will talk to your mother about this matter. It's been so long. Even if we don't have that certificate, we should be a family, right?"

Zheng Yi could only nod his head, feeling that Zhao Mingyu was more amiable.

The hospital was not far from home, and the mother and son strolled back home. Zheng Yi still couldn't hold back and told his mother about the conversation with Zhao Mingyu. The mother turned her head away and didn't speak, as if she had already thought about it. When she was almost at the door, she said: "Xiao Yi, you know what kind of bastard your father is. He made our family restless at that time, and he is still squatting in prison. And Wang Qiyuan, although he is a good person, he is short-lived after all, and his The two children... Hey, let’s not talk about it, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Only you, Uncle Zhao, is a good person and has helped us mother and son so much. I can’t just shrink back when I see people having difficulties.”

This is probably the fate of my mother. The three men I have experienced always have one or another kind of shortcoming, but the more Zheng Yi gets older, the more he understands that in fact, everyone will experience these ups and downs. What Zhao Mingyu said just now was just not wanting to delay their mother and child. It's just an excuse, but in fact, such a predicament requires more companionship and support.

He held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I think the same way. Uncle Zhao is so kind, we can't break our promise."

She looked at him with a smile, rubbed his hair, and said with emotion: "Xiao Yi, you have matured a lot in recent years, but I still think you are a child."

Zheng Yi took his mother's arm, walked towards the entrance of the building, and said, "I'm already in my thirties, what kind of child am I?"

Because of thinking and determination, the sky looks brighter.

Bai Zifeng was finally allowed to leave the hospital by the doctor.

Bai Hewei has been tossed so much this time, he always feels that his father is in the state of late menopause, calling him back and forth all day long, never having a moment of idle time.Want to drink millet porridge, he made a pot, this person still thinks the rice grains are hard, how can millet porridge be hard?If it hadn't been for the fact that he had such a serious illness, and this person was his own father, he would have given up on it long ago.

Bai Hewei also observed, and his father tortured him, and when his mother came during the day, the old man would be as obedient as a sheep, not even farting.Bai Hewei felt that the old man did it on purpose, and used this incident to vent his dissatisfaction with him. After all, there are too many things that dissatisfy him. From work to Zheng Yi, the resentment accumulated for more than ten years , I can't wait to greet him with all my moves.Bai Hewei was very bored, but it was always his father, he was still a patient who couldn't get angry, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

It's good to be discharged from the hospital, he can go back to Zhangzhou, and he doesn't have to suffer from this idleness anymore.After dinner that day, Bai Hewei was packing his luggage in the room. He left early tomorrow morning, and his heart had already flown to Zhangzhou. With Zheng Yi's intention to come to Suijiang to pick up the car, without him here, the coward would never dare to come to Suijiang by himself.

As soon as the luggage was put away, my mother knocked on the door and came in, saying that the old man wanted to talk to him.

Bai Hewei sighed, always feeling that it was not a good thing, but he still bit the bullet and went.

Father was wrapped in a blanket and sitting on the rocking chair in the study, holding a heavy book in his hand, with a pair of mirrors on his nose, reading with pleasure.With such a docile appearance, he never showed it to him once in the hospital. He and Zheng Yi called and chatted on the phone in the middle of the night, and this morning, he almost tortured him to death.The old guy has too many eyes, no wonder he has a bad heart.

After he entered the room, Bai Zifeng took off his glasses and motioned for him to sit down.Bai Hewei sat down. He took a thermos cup and drank hot water without any haste. His expression was extremely calm. After drinking, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "He Wei."

"Ok?"

"Do you have any ideas about your career?"
