blame your sister

From the moment the two daughters left the hospital, Father Lin stood alone in front of Mama Lin's ward, looking at her skinny face through the glass.

"My family member, our hospital has prepared a resting place for the family members of critically ill patients. Shall I take you there?" A kind nurse passed by and went forward to remind Father Lin.

Only then did Father Lin realize that he had been standing outside the ward for several hours.After all, he was not young anymore, and whenever he moved, he felt a dull pain in his rheumatic right leg.

However, he still didn't want to leave, he was afraid that when the doctor came to call him, Mother Lin had already...

"No, thank you." Father Lin staggered to the edge of the stool and sat down to rest for a while.

The nurse nodded and left.

It was quite dark outside, and few people came to the ICU ward.Father Lin stood alone in front of the bench and looked into the ward. When he was tired, he sat down to rest and then looked again. From time to time, he muttered to himself:

"Shuzhen, look at how thin you have become. I can't make you live a good life, but our two daughters are promising and can make you happy..."

"Shuzhen, I didn't tell your natal family the news of your illness. You don't blame me, do you? I'm afraid they will come to conflict with Wenxuan, and you're making trouble again."

"Shuzhen, you were only 20 years old when I first met you. You didn't know that. At that time, you came to my relative's house to return ladders. You weren't fat but you were really strong."

"Shuzhen, if it hurts too much, you can go. Don't worry about me. I am very satisfied to spend these years with you."

"Shuzhen, when the two daughters are settled down, I will come to accompany you. In the next life, we will be twenty, no, we will know each other at the age of ten, okay?"

……

Sentences of "Shuzhen" came out of Lin's father's dry mouth, which made people feel helpless and sad for no reason.

At the beginning, there were well-meaning nurses and doctors on duty who came to persuade this old man who didn't look so old but didn't have any vitality to go to rest, but they were all rejected one by one.

Later, all the nurses on duty in the hospital knew that there was an infatuated old man in ICU.

At about 04:30 in the morning, the sky outside was gray and not as bright as usual.Father Lin always stood and sat all night, and now he got up to stretch in the morning.

Mother Lin in the ward was still in the posture she had been in yesterday after the first aid. Father Lin looked at her for a while, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

finger!Mother Lin's fingers were originally pointing up, but now they are tight.

Papa Lin was pleasantly surprised to discover this, and what surprised him even more was that Mama Lin's eyes slowly opened.

"Shuzhen, Shuzhen!" Papa Lin was so happy that he forgot that making noise here is not allowed, and called Mama Lin's name loudly, and waved his hands vigorously.

Sure enough, a nurse soon came over to stop him, "This family member..."

"Nurse, nurse, my wife is awake, she is awake, can I go in and talk to her?" Father Lin interrupted anxiously before the nurse finished speaking.

The nurse glanced at the ward number, and immediately ran to call the doctor.

Father Lin stared at Mother Lin closely outside the ward. Although Mother Lin just woke up, she still looked as if she hadn't slept in a long time. Her eyelids were swollen, and she closed them for a few seconds after opening them.

It took only two or three minutes until the doctor came, but Father Lin's mood fell from joy to trough.Because, after Ms. Lin closed her eyes, the expression on her face became more and more tense, and she took a big breath, but it was still as uncomfortable as if someone had tightly covered her mouth and nose.

"No, the patient needs to be rescued!" Seeing that Mama Lin was suffering, the doctor hurriedly glanced at the complicated equipment over there, and then said to the nurse next to her.

Fortunately, this is the intensive care unit, and the nurses hurriedly started preparations.

Papa Lin was locked outside, and could only anxiously watch a group of people in white coats busy around his wife.

During the treatment, Father Lin found that Mother Lin had opened her eyes again, and her eyes were wide open. The direction of those eyes was clearly her in the corridor.

Mother Lin's expression gradually became ferocious, and she couldn't tell that she was the kind person she was usually.She didn't know where the strength came from, and she grabbed the clothes on her chest with both hands, as if she wanted to take out her lungs.

Father Lin rushed into the ward recklessly. Just as the nurse was about to stop him, the doctor waved his hand to tell the nurse not to stop him.He knew very well that first aid was meaningless.

He was worried and anxious before, but he became calm after entering the ward. He walked to the front of the bed and held Mama Lin's warm hand and said:

"Shuzhen, Wenxuan, Wenjin and I are here to watch, don't worry."

"My hometown called and said that your younger brother married a wife a few days ago. She is a very simple girl and treats your parents very well."

"I'm old enough to receive subsidies from the village this year, and my two children are also filial. Don't worry about me."

"In the next life, you have to wait for me!"

Papa Lin held his wife's hand tightly, staring at her face as if he couldn't get enough.The vital signs on the instruments nearby had returned to zero, but the doctors and nurses next to them couldn't bear to disturb the couple.

There are some things that make people panic before they come, but when they really happen, the person involved is more likely to become calm and indifferent.

Just like Lin's father now, he slowly put Lin's mother's hand into the quilt, and then calmly asked the doctor: "She's gone, isn't she?"

The doctor nodded: "Please express your condolences."

"Thank you for your hard work. I want to stay alone with my wife for a while."

Lin Wenxuan was falling asleep, and suddenly her whole body shivered, and she sat up suddenly from the bed.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qian also woke up later, but compared to Lin Wenxuan, she was still a little sleepy.

Lin Wenxuan covered her heart with her right hand, frowned and said, "I don't know, I suddenly shivered, and my heart felt a little panicked."

"Don't worry, let's go to the hospital to see my aunt after a while." Gu Qian gently helped Lin Wenxuan calm down, while checking the time with her mobile phone, "It's only after four o'clock, let's rest for a while."

Last night Lin Wenxuan couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, she knew it all.

Lin Wenxuan had no intention of resting at all, she quickly put on her clothes and said, "You sleep a little longer, and go with Wen Jin later, I'll go and have a look now."

After a simple wash, Lin Wenxuan remembered to look at the mobile phone on the bedside table.A bad feeling emerged spontaneously, and Lin Wenxuan panicked when she saw Papa Lin's phone number.Looking at the notification bar, I don't know when the phone is muted!

When I called Papa Lin again, I was reminded that I was not in the service area - the wards of the hospital were blocked by signals.

Lin Wenxuan hurried out without saying anything.Seeing her in such a hurry, Gu Qian's subordinates put on their clothes faster, and before leaving, she called Lin Wenjin, and she was already up!

Gu Qian was in the corridor of the ward when she saw Lin Wenxuan stop outside the glass window, and then said "Mom—" she rushed into the ward.

Gu Qian and Lin Wenjin also ran over there, and Lin Wenjin rushed to the front of the ward, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Wenxuan knelt down next to her mother's hospital bed, clutching the white quilt on the hospital bed with both hands, crying tears and snot.Gu Qian also began to cry silently, but it was Papa Lin who sat quietly beside the hospital bed.

According to the custom of City J, when Mother Lin's body was brought back home, she had to stay awake for three days before the funeral.In the beginning, Lin Wenxuan knelt before her mother's spirit without eating, drinking or talking, and ignored anyone who tried to persuade her.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Qian finally couldn't stand it any longer. She pulled Lin Wenxuan up from the ground with brute force, and helped her to the next room.

"Don't make yourself sick, otherwise Auntie won't feel at ease." Gu Qian pushed Lin Wenxuan on the stool and brought her a bowl of porridge.

Lin Wenxuan didn't reach out to take it, and said, "I don't have an appetite."

"Don't be like this, your father and your sister are already very sad, do you want them to lose you too?" Gu Qian scooped up some porridge with a spoon and handed it to Lin Wenxuan's mouth.

Lin Wenxuan glanced at her, and finally opened her mouth to eat.Before Gu Qian could scoop up the second spoonful, Lin Wenxuan picked up the bowl and swallowed the whole night's porridge, then stood up and said, "I want to be with my mother."

Her knees were tingling from kneeling for too long, her legs were numb, and she was staggering when she walked. It was Gu Qian who helped her back.

Lin Wenxuan just knelt there, bowed her head, and knelt for three days without paying respects to those who came to express her condolences.If Gu Qian hadn't come over regularly to force her to eat and rest, Lin Wenxuan might have to go to the hospital for a few days.

On the day of the funeral, in the Lin family, only Lin Wenjin and her grandmother who came to send their daughter off cried so much.Lin Wenxuan's reaction was unusually calm, and she mechanically walked among the funeral crowd.

After placing Mother Lin's ashes in the cemetery, Lin Wenxuan locked herself in the house for several hours, and opened the door for Gu Qian who couldn't call the door until dark.

"Come out and have something to eat, you haven't eaten for more than ten hours." After Lin Wenxuan opened the door, she turned and walked into the house. Gu Qian called her worriedly from behind.

Lin Wenxuan stood in the middle of the room, turned around and threw herself into Gu Qian's arms. Her eyes, which had been dry for three days, burst into tears again.

"You still have me, and your father and sister, they still need you to be the backbone!" Gu Qian kept patting the back of the person in her arms, and now that even Lin's father was on the verge of collapse, the family would have to die Lin Wenxuan came to support.

After crying for a while, Lin Wenxuan slowly raised her head from Gu Qian's arms, with wet tears still hanging on her face, her eyes were swollen unreasonably, her brows were tightly frowned, and she tried her best to hold back her tears and murmured: " Gu Qian, I don't have a mother anymore, I don't have a child without a mother..."

Lin Wenxuan's voice became hoarse because she hadn't drank much water for a few days and she had just cried. Coupled with the content of her speech, Gu Qian felt even more distressed, and she hugged her again.
