Xiaoman

The biological clock is too powerful.

Liu Xiaoman and Xia Liang quarreled until three o'clock the night before, and when they opened their eyes the next day, it seemed as if they were pulled out of a dream by someone pulling their nerves and pulling their eyelids.

Consciousness is still hazy, it is purely the spontaneous awakening of body functions.

He sat up and rested on the bed for a while, looking at the time, it was seven past two.

After sleeping for four hours, my mind is numb.

Xia Liang was still sleeping, a strand of skylight came through the gap in the curtains, the weather should be good today, the light mixed with gold slanted across his face, the low eyelashes were under the light, they looked much longer than usual when they opened their eyes .

good looking.

After staring at it for a while, Xia Liang's phone on the bedside table lit up from the corner of his eye, and a call came in.

The caller has no notes, just a string of numbers.

Xia Liang's cell phone was turned on silent, the phone didn't ring or vibrate, but he persisted for a while before hanging up.

Before the screen went off, the same number called again.

Xia Liang's mother?

Probably not, there should be a note on my mother's mobile phone number.

Liu Xiaoman hesitated for two seconds, still not willing to wake Xia Liang up, and quietly got off the bed to wash up.

Call him again in half an hour.

Before half an hour had passed, when Liu Xiaoman was silently reciting English words at the table, Xia Liang woke up.

He first patted his side, and without touching Liu Xiaoman, he frowned and squinted and looked around. Seeing Liu Xiaoman reciting vocabulary words at the table, he turned over and lay down on the bed with an "hey", being moved by this The ground's learning spirit was amused.

"Shang Liangshan should give you an award." He closed his eyes and said something, turned on the air conditioner all night, and his throat became dry and frosty.

"Are you awake?" Liu Xiaoman turned to look at him.

Xia Liang continued to lie on his stomach, the back of his head facing him with a "hmm".

"Are you going to grandpa's house later?" Liu Xiaoman walked to the bed and stroked Xia Liang's hair.

It's very round, a bit thorny, and it feels good when pushed against the hand, which makes people scratch their hearts.

I just wanted to touch it, but I couldn't hold back and touched two more.

Xia Liang said "hmm" again, and it sounded like he was going to faint gradually, and he insisted on touching Liu Xiaoman's leg with his backhand.

Liu Xiaoman was going to the hospital later, and Xia Liang was on a different path. He wanted to let him sleep more, but when he remembered the phone call just now, he called "Brother Liang" and said, "Your phone just got a call."

Xia Liang didn't move.

"Two," he added.

Only then did Xia Liang move, but still didn't look up, he raised his hand that was caressing Liu Xiaoman's thigh and patted it on the bedside table, and blindly grabbed the phone.

You don't have to guess him to know who's calling.

And more than two.

Pull down the background, in addition to six missed calls, there are four text messages.

- You're not at grandpa's house, where are you?

- My patience and time are limited. Do you think I am just kidding you if I transfer you to another school and spend so much time looking at you?

- answer the phone.

- Xia Liang, don't force me.

The last one was posted 5 minutes ago.

Who is forcing whom?

Xia Liang cleared the background with one click as usual.

The lack of sleep still affected his mood a bit. He closed his eyes, suppressed the boredom that was welling up in his chest, and fished out the phone again to unlock it.

"What to eat?" He asked Liu Xiaoman.

"It's all right, I'm not very hungry." Liu Xiaoman went back to the table to memorize words after he took the phone, and turned around after hearing his question, "You don't need to go back?"

"No need." Xia Liang sat up and didn't continue talking on the phone, "Eat if you're not hungry, haven't you heard that sentence?"

"What?" Liu Xiaoman answered him.

"It's easy to get bald if you don't eat breakfast." Xia Liang casually ordered two drawers of steamed buns and two bowls of porridge, and added a tea egg to Liu Xiaoman, "It's dangerous for you to become obsessed with learning in one day, and you will be bald like a kappa in the future , I have to cheer myself up before I kiss you..."

"I'm sick." Liu Xiaoman interrupted him with a smile.

After breakfast, the two packed up and went out.

"You have to have dinner with grandpa at noon, will you come back after eating?" Liu Xiaoman asked when they parted at the hospital gate.

"Go back." Xia Liang straightened his collar, "I'll call you when the time comes."

"Okay." Liu Xiaoman nodded, "Then you go."

The car he called just arrived, Xia Liang picked up the phone to confirm the address with the driver, walked two steps backwards, and waved to Liu Xiaoman.

Liu Xiaoman also waved.

Watching Xia Liang go across the road and get in the car from a distance, he turned around and entered the hospital.

When he saw Cancan running at the stairs, he was stunned, thinking that he had misunderstood the child, so he walked over and stopped to take a closer look. Cancan also looked at him with his head hooked.

That's right.

When he caught someone, he just stared at him, who else could it be except Cancan.

Grandpa's ward is on the second floor, and he was running up and down the stairs to play. Liu Xiaoman looked around and saw Aunt Mei, and was hesitating whether to ask him to follow him up, when he heard "Ouch".

"Whose kid!" A rather young woman bent her body halfway and wiped her shoes vigorously, staring at Cancan, "What are you messing around at the stairs, can parents take care of it?"

Cancan didn't speak, and quickly raised her hand to point at Liu Xiaoman.

It doesn't matter now.

Liu Xiaoman walked down helplessly, and while apologizing to someone, he grabbed Cancan's clothes and asked him to get up from the stairs.

"I can't stand it!" The woman wanted to say a few more words, but when she looked at Liu Xiaoman's arm, she walked away unwillingly.

"You..." Liu Xiaoman lowered his head and frowned at Cancan.

Before he could speak, Cancan grabbed his hand very consciously, and wiped boldly under his nose with the other hand.

Liu Xiaoman felt awkward for a while.

Not only is it uncomfortable to have sweaty and dirty palms, but it's also awkward to be like his parents.

Rationally, he understands, but psychologically, he still cannot accept that he only has three more "family members".

He withdrew his hand from his shiny and dirty paw, wanting to wipe it on his clothes.

"Just follow me." He said to Cancan.

Cancan glanced at him, not very so-called, and instead grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Liu Xiaoman sighed.

At this time, the stalls are usually closed earlier, but since Cancan is here, Aunt Mei must be there, or came to visit.

Turning a corner on the second floor, I saw Aunt Mei and Liu Yong talking at the door of the ward from a distance.

Cancan let go of his clothes and ran over, Aunt Mei turned her head, Liu Xiaoman was still thinking whether to remind her, don't let Cancan run and play on the stairs, it's very dangerous.Aunt Mei took a step towards him first.

"Xiao Man!" Her expression was agitated and complicated, "Your master seems to have woken up!"

Liu Xiaoman stood still in place, wondering for a while before waking up, why did it seem so.Halfway through his doubts, he blinked and hurried to the ward.

After shouting a few times, Liu Xiaoman understood how accurate Aunt Mei's "like" was.

The doctor in charge told him before that the sign of "waking up" is being able to open eyes, be able to listen to people's words, and be able to respond in conjunction with the words.

"Master?" Liu Xiaoman called him.

Grandpa turned his eyes when he came in and sat down by the bed.

"Master, I am Xiaoman." Liu Xiaoman touched his hand.

Grandpa looked at him and tried to turn away.

"Master," Liu Xiaoman tried to communicate with him, "You can move your hands, can you play the hand?"

Grandpa's eyelids moved, and after staring at him for a while, he flicked his fingers.

Liu Xiaoman's nose suddenly turned sore, he stared at his grandfather's hand, opened his mouth and took a breath before continuing: "Grandpa, you can understand my words, right?"

Grandpa's eyelids drooped and he looked out the window where there was light.

"Master, move again." Liu Xiaoman touched his hand again, waiting expectantly, "This hand, move again..."

Grandpa closed his eyelids and ignored him again.

Liu Xiaoman waited for a while. Although his grandfather ignored him, he still couldn't help being excited.

Grandpa must have known he was talking to him.

Before, they just turned their eyes to follow the sound, but now they can cooperate with each other, even if they only cooperate for a while, it is still cooperation.

It took half a day to finish the examination on grandpa, and he chased the doctor for a long time to ask questions. The doctor's attitude was as usual conservative but reassuring, and Liu Xiaoman also insisted that a little progress is progress as always.

It took my grandfather nearly a week to open his eyes. Two weeks after opening his eyes, he can understand people's words. With the beginning, there will be development. No matter how long it takes for the next recovery stage, there is definitely hope.

Something is better than nothing.

After talking to Liu Xiaoman, the doctor called Liu Yong over, and Liu Xiaoman went back to the ward to watch over his grandfather, and continued to talk with him.

Excited for a long time, he always felt that something was missing. Now that he was free, he realized that he should share this news with Xia Liang.

I don't know if Xia Liang is still having dinner with his grandpa, he didn't make a phone call, and sent him a message after digging his phone for 10 minutes.

Xia Liang didn't return.

Liu Xiaoman didn't take it seriously at first, and took out the paper to do the questions.

After the afternoon passed, it was almost evening, but Xia Liang still didn't reply, nor did he call Liu Xiaoman as he said.

Liu Xiaoman thought of the two missed calls in the morning, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt bad.

Why every time Xia Liang came to him, couldn't it go smoothly in the end?

He stared at the phone in a daze, switched back and forth between WeChat and the phone book, but still didn't dare to call and disturb Xia Liang.

Maybe I haven't seen my grandpa for a week. I ate too much at noon and took a nap in the afternoon.

He didn't dare to think in a bad direction, so he could only comfort himself like this, and sent Xia Liang a few more messages.

Anyway, Xia Liang said he would call him, and he would.

It's just that I wanted to have dinner with Xia Liang at night, but now it seems that I can't.

"Xiao Man." After it got dark, Aunt Mei came over with an insulated box, which contained her cooked meals.

Liu Xiaoman took it over and thanked him, and Aunt Mei sat across from him with Cancan in her arms, watching him eat.

Their gazes were a bit too focused, Liu Xiaoman was confused and didn't have much appetite, so he put down the spoon after a few mouthfuls, and asked Aunt Mei, "Do you have anything to say?"

"You eat first." Aunt Mei grinned, and strangled Cancan again into her arms.

In fact, Cancan really wanted to play by herself, but she forced her to strangle her and said "too tight" with a listless face.

"I'm not hungry." Liu Xiaoman put down the spoon.

"Then you..." Aunt Mei slipped Cancan out of her arms, stood up and signaled Liu Xiaoman to go out with her, "Come on, Auntie has something to tell you."

Liu Xiaoman followed her to the safe passage. Aunt Mei looked a little embarrassed, and she pondered for a while before she said, "That's right, your father should pay the fee, but the money I and your father have..."

what.

Liu Xiaoman guessed it.

It really is about money.

No wonder when I came here in the morning, I saw the couple discussing with each other, with complicated eyes.

"Your father is embarrassed to open his mouth to you, and I'm also embarrassed, but it's really..." Aunt Mei rubbed her hands, her voice lowered a degree, "It's really gone..."

"I'll bring it to you when I get home tonight." Liu Xiaoman interrupted her softly, "My grandfather still has some left over from these years."

Aunt Mei looked at him with a suddenly relieved expression on her face.

She wanted to say something embarrassing, but Liu Xiaoman was not in the mood to listen, and asked her if there was anything else, Aunt Mei said no, so he nodded, turned around and opened the door to go out.

Really no surprise.

He knew that one day, the expenses of five people, the couple should have been overdrawn long ago.

It's just that the money spent now is far more than what was earned earlier. I don't know what else they can spend after the money saved by grandpa is wiped out.

Back in the ward, Cancan was lying at the end of the bed playing with a small toy she brought from nowhere.

Liu Xiaoman took a look at him for not pressing down on Grandpa's feet, and ignored him, sitting on the bed and staring at Grandpa in a daze.

Grandpa woke up after a nap, and was also staring at Liu Xiaoman.

"Master." Liu Xiaoman called him, lifting his arms and legs to stimulate his muscles.

He almost didn't hear the phone buzzing and vibrating in his schoolbag, but Cancan yelled "something is vibrating in the bag", and he hurried to take it out.

Xia Liang finally called.

Liu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took two steps towards the window, and slid down to answer the call.

"Brother Liang!" He controlled the volume and shouted happily.

"I'm not going." Xia Liang was very quiet, and his voice was a little suppressed with fire, "You should eat and eat, and I will contact you later."

Liu Xiaoman was stunned, before he could say "Ah" to show that he heard, the phone had already hung up.
