Jigsaw puzzle

Director Qian helped Li Ran and Han Yicheng run down the hospitalization procedures. In the end, Han Yicheng was assigned to a double ward and lived with a middle-aged man in his 40s as a patient.Later, I learned from the nurse that the elder brother's surname was Liu, but I didn't know his exact name. Han Yicheng and Li Ran, just like the nurses, called him Brother Liu.

To Li Ran's surprise, the conditions of the psychiatric inpatient ward are very good. The room is facing north and south. When the window is opened, it faces the back garden outside the hospital. Although the plants outside are withered in winter, it doesn't matter if the willow leaves are evergreen, but there are always a group of sparrows Chatting there, adding a lot of popularity to the room.

The heating inside the hospital was fully turned on, and there was a small TV hanging on the wall. There was a thin layer of dust on it, and it looked like it had been left out for a long time.Brother Liu is obviously not interested in things like watching TV. There is a thick stack of books on his bedside, most of which are Buddhist teachings and teachings.

So Han Yicheng started a simple and regular inpatient life here. He went to treatment during the day when he had tasks, and sat in a daze in the ward when he had no tasks.He still broke down occasionally, but he never proposed to break up with Li Ran again. The most serious situation was that Li Ran was not allowed to come to see him, and he figured out when Li Ran should come to hide in other people's wards. A meal of enlightenment and persuasion.

Li Ran tried his best to come here every day. Later, the dance studio's winter vacation class started, and he was too busy. He explained to Han Yicheng guiltily for a long time, in exchange for the other party saying: "You don't have to come here, I have something to do."

Li Ran thought it was funny, and blurted out a joke: "I can't tell, there are still big things to do here? Shall I bring you the treadmill at home?"

Han Yicheng gave Li Ran a sideways look, turned his head to make a fuss and ignored him.Li Ran couldn't guess whether Han Yicheng was angry because he didn't work hard, or because he was angry because of the sentence just now, and for a while, he returned to the illusion that he was "bullying" him when the two were first together.

"It's going to be Chinese New Year in two weeks, and my mother asked me, will you make it through this year?" Li Ran saw that Han Yicheng was still communicating with Bai Qiang over there, so he gently pushed him, "Don't pretend to be dead, I know You're fine now."

Han Yicheng slowly turned around reluctantly: "Does uncle and aunt think it's strange?"

"What's so strange?"

"Ordinary friends, do you always go to your house for the New Year?"

Li Ran smiled: "What's the matter, are you worried that your parents-in-law find out about your ulterior relationship with their son?"

Han Yicheng felt that Li Ran had gone too far recently, as long as his condition was stable, he would keep talking nonsense, and he would not treat himself as a patient more and more.Now in front of other people in the ward, I started running the train with my mouth full.

"Let's go." Han Yicheng turned to face the wall again, with his back to Li Ran and refused to communicate with him.

"Hey, okay, I'll go, I'll go," Li Ran looked at Han Yicheng, who was gradually regaining his popularity, and even though he was "left out", he was in a particularly good mood. After walking to the door, he came back and forced his arms around Han Yicheng and kissed him, "You are good Find something to do by yourself, don’t just stay here in a daze, I’ll ask Director Qian for leave next time, and I’ll go back with me on the [-]th night.”

After Li Ran left, Han Yicheng walked around the ward twice, and finally got a set of braided rope and glass beads from the nurse's station. weave together.

"You can get better from this illness."

When Han Yicheng turned his head, he found that it was Brother Liu who was in the next bed. He raised his head from the Buddhist scriptures at some point, stared at him meaningfully and said.

"..."

When Han Yicheng participated in the group therapy class, he heard from the doctor that in the face of the social information released by the outside world, he should try his best to muster up the courage to respond, but Brother Liu’s statement was so endless that Han Yicheng really didn’t know how to respond. All I could do was "hmm".

"Any troubles are as light as a boat when death comes. Don't worry too much about other people's obsessions. The unresolved karma in this life will be eliminated in the sea of ​​suffering in samsara."

Brother Liu's words were too mysterious and profound. Even Han Yicheng might not have understood his intentions when he was sober before, let alone in his current state, so he had no choice but to answer the question: "Are you...are you going to be discharged from the hospital soon?"

"Where I am, it doesn't matter much anymore. My family and lover are all gone. Wherever I go is just to spend the rest of my life." When Brother Liu said this, there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes looking out of the window .

Han Yicheng has always been slow. After Brother Liu said this, he realized that during the time he was hospitalized, Li Ran came here so many times, and he had never seen anyone visit Brother Liu.

This is probably another feeling of Han Yicheng during this time. In the past, he always thought that he was grotesque and morbid enough. However, in this whole ward, the sufferings of the world are presented in various forms, and he can become the envy of many people.

Elderly women who are depressed because of childbirth, young people who are crazy about work, and high school students who are born with physical defects. All kinds of grotesque people are here, wrapped in the green floor tiles of the hospital, fighting against fate together.

Before the Spring Festival, Li Ran came here to pick up people. As soon as he entered the room, he found that Han Yicheng's bed was covered with glass beads connected with threads from the head to the end of the bed. The shapes were different, from simple vases to complex buildings, fully showing the Han Yicheng's gradually improved "craftsmanship" during this period of time.

Li Ran looked at this pile of sketched works, and didn't know whether to feel relieved or sad. He picked and found a work with a messy shape, held it in his hand and asked Han Yicheng.

"What is this? Is it a football? Why does it look so weird?"

"Carbon structure." Han Yicheng, who was packing his clothes beside him, replied without looking back.

"...It's quite interesting." Li Ran praised duplicity, with a drop of cold sweat running across his forehead, and then changed the subject, "Don't bring too many clothes, I'll be back tomorrow night, just remember to take your medicine."

Han Yicheng nodded, put his bag on his back and followed Li Hou, walked out of the inpatient area after a long absence, stood at the entrance of the parking lot and looked out.The streets of the city near the end of the new year are deserted, with little traffic, and it is not much more lively than the hospital.

"You drive, I'm too tired today," Li Ran yelled behind him, "It's hard for me to come out, and I can drive around wherever I want.

Han Yicheng hadn't driven a car for almost two months, and he was a little novice at first, but fortunately there weren't many cars on the street, so there were sufficient conditions for him to get used to it.

"Which way are you driving? The shopping malls and supermarkets at the school are closed, why don't you go in another direction?" Li Ran asked Han Yicheng.

"I want to visit your dance studio."

Li Ran scratched his head in embarrassment: "Uh, I forgot to tell you before, the new store... because the enrollment has not been enough, I sublet the store, should we go to the old store?"

Han Yicheng was stunned for a moment, lost his target for a while, and didn't know which way to drive.

"Why don't you go back to my house first, there is a surprise waiting for you at home, if you want to hang around, we will come out tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Actually, this is pretty good now. I started to go to class every day, the same as before. I was thinking, maybe I am not suitable to be a boss by nature, and it would be more comfortable to be a teacher." Li Ran said this, while turning the navigation Call it to Han Yicheng.

The road conditions were smooth along the way, and the two of them drove back to Li Ran's community in just over half an hour. Just as Han Yicheng slowed down and entered the yard, he heard a familiar voice calling him from outside the car.

"Han Yicheng!" Qi Xin smiled at him through the window of the car, breathing out a layer of mist on the window.

Han Yicheng obviously didn't expect Qi Xin to be here, his eyes widened a little, he got down from the driving seat in surprise after parking the car, and dusted off Qi Xin's hat: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Aran picked me up to celebrate the New Year, my dad also agreed, and told me to come and play, and then go back to my hometown after the second day of junior high school!" Qi Xin's little face was a little red from the cold, probably because the winter in the north was too dry. A little peeling around the edges.

But the cold winter's low temperature and dry cheeks are far from affecting Qi Xin's happiness when she sees Han Yicheng, her original cool "Fan Er" can hardly hold on, and even wants to come over and hug Han Yicheng.

By coincidence, Han Yicheng actually saw what the little girl was thinking. He squatted down, opened his arms a little clumsily, and quickly hugged Qi Xin.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react, she pretended to be strong and turned her head away from Han Yicheng, and ran towards the door of Li Ran's unit in a hurry, saying as she ran, "Auntie told you to go in and eat quickly. If you dawdle any longer, the food will be cold."

"The light in the corridor is broken, don't fall down!" Li Ran yelled in the direction Qi Xin was running, and turned his head to wink at Han Yicheng, "Let's go?"

Han Yicheng followed Li Then and asked, "Did I scare her just now?"

"Yes? Look how excited she is."

"What should I do?"

"What else can I do? I won't be able to scare you if I come a few more times in the future." Li Ran smiled and pulled Han Yicheng inside.

Basically, every time Han Yicheng came to Lao Li's house, there were many situations, and the only constant was Zhang Lingyu's nagging.However, the nagging has changed slightly this time. No matter how wordy Zhang Lingyu was, she never said anything bad about Han Yicheng, but today Zhang Lingyu shot a wide range of shots, even Han Yicheng and Qi Xin were not spared.

"What are you two young fellows talking about in the back? Why can't you even keep up with the hot food? Not even a little girl can move quickly!"

"What are you talking about?" Li Weiguo tugged at her in embarrassment, "Eating can't keep up with the heat, the original words are..."

Before he could say anything, Qi Xin "giggled" beside him, and was stared back by Zhang Lingyu.

"Little girl, how can you be clear about these shit and farts?"

"Hey," Li Ran frowned and put down his chopsticks, "I don't want to eat anymore, why can't I avoid this?"

"It's okay, there are Chinese New Year's rules," Li Weiguo laughed, "Ms. Zhang? Shall we punish you with alcohol?"

"If you are punished, you will be fined. I am not afraid of this kind of wine." Zhang Lingyu also smiled, picked up the wine cup and raised her head to drink a cup of white wine.

Li Weiguo has always been the most enthusiastic about drinking. Usually, Zhang Lingyu is in charge of him, so it is difficult to let go of his hands and feet. Now it is rare that he can drink happily during the Chinese New Year, and he immediately raised his glass: "It's New Year's Eve, let's go together?"

"Old Han can't," Li Ran pushed the wine cup away from Han Yicheng, "He's still taking medicine, so he can't drink."

Qi Xin also nodded, and handed the juice in front of her to Han Yicheng: "Here is this for you."

"He can't drink, the little girl will drink some for him." Zhang Lingyu handed Han Yicheng's cup of wine to Qi Xin, "Take a sip and try to drink."

So the five people at the table toasted at the same time, Qi Xin was extremely aggressive in drinking for the first time, and even swallowed half of the glass in one gulp.

"I want to drink water." After drinking, Qi Xin blushed and looked at Zhang Lingyu for help, "It's so spicy."

"Your child is really a tiger, didn't you just let you lick a little? If you drink so much by yourself, it's the same as your uncle's first visit!" Zhang Lingyu smiled and served Qi Xin a bowl of porridge, " Drinking water is useless, so I’ll give you some pressure.”

"What's the matter with Xiao Han's health? Why do you still need to take medicine? I saw that he lost a lot of weight this time, so it's not a big problem?" Li Weiguo asked from the side.

"I...are treating depression." Han Yicheng said calmly.

"Ah, that's it." Li Ran saw that Li Weiguo didn't regard this illness as something bad, so he let him continue, "It's not easy for young people nowadays, the work pressure is high, so you have to pay attention. If you are tired , just come here to play more, and treat this place as your own home."

"Oh, that's right," Li Weiguo suddenly seemed to remember something, he turned his head and asked Li Ran, "Did you tell me last time that your girlfriend also has something like this, depression?"
