if you are still there

Xiao Liangwen took care of Ding Xu's illness this time. Mr. Ding couldn't keep up with taking care of the guests at home and dealing with the matters brought by the guests.

The guests who came were none other than the two daughters from the capital who came to pay New Year's greetings. Unfortunately, Zhong Jie, who was far away in X province, also came.

Zhong Jie came here for her husband Ding Chenghua. She rushed over immediately when she received a call from Mr. Ding saying that he would stay here for two days.With resentment in her heart, she came here purely to let Mr. Ding uphold justice for her. She wished that Mr. Ding would obey Ding Chenghua's lessons in front of all her relatives, and then let her take her back.

She couldn't suppress the man, so she could only put all her hopes on Mr. Ding. Ding Chenghua was filial and should listen to the old man.

But I didn't expect Zhong Jie to come at the wrong time. As soon as I entered Mr. Ding's small courtyard, I ran into Ding Chenghua's two sisters. The sisters-in-law are usually not very friendly, and now Zhong Jie's attitude towards the old man is not good. The two sister-in-laws immediately quarreled with her relentlessly.Take out all the things about Chen Zhima and rotten millet and talk about it.

Ding Lao couldn't stop it, and his brain ached from the noise.

Zhong Jie couldn't quarrel with the two sisters-in-law, so she carried her luggage and left angrily, saying only one sentence: "I'm going to stay in the hotel, and I'll come back when Ding Chenghua comes back."

Zhong Jie was driven away, and the sisters of Ding's family were also very angry. Fortunately, Mr. Ding's small courtyard is a single family, and the quarrel at home will not affect the outside, otherwise Mr. Ding will lose his face.

Ding Lao sat down and took two pills, said nothing, just rubbed his temples dejectedly, his blood pressure has always been a little high, and now it is even worse.

The sister-in-law stepped forward to coax the old man a few words, and then said with a bit of bitterness: "It's all the fault of that woman, she really treats herself as a guest, forget that she is still the daughter-in-law of our Ding family!"

Old Ding frowned and said, "What is that woman, that's your sister-in-law!"

"Just her? What about my sister-in-law? At the beginning, she just relied on her family to help the eldest brother, but now she is riding on our heads! Her helping the eldest brother is her own family's business. We can't get any benefits. Why should she I will support her as soon as I come here! Come and sit here, look at the words that I said, it looks like we are sorry for her!" The sister-in-law curled her lips and sneered, "Ding Xu is still lying in the hospital, and she is a mother. I don’t know how to go and see?! I knew it would happen a long time ago, but she can still raise children? She shouldn’t have..."

Ding Lao interrupted her and scolded: "Enough! Don't mention the things of the past."

The sister-in-law was still a little reluctant, but she still kept silent.

What Zhong Jie said this time was indeed too much, every sentence was more like accusing Mr. Ding of being incompetent in teaching his children, and he almost pointed at the old man's nose and scolded him.Aunt always had a calm temper, but this time Zhong Jie was a little annoyed, and said, "Dad, it's really her fault this time. It's too rude to come here without saying hello and say those things again. I don't believe it." She has the same temper with her parents."

Old Ding sighed and said, "Blame me, I shouldn't have told her about Cheng Hua's arrival."

The sister-in-law complained: "What's your fault? She's stuck on her own to find fault, and she's going to make trouble for you during the Chinese New Year. If she still dares to do this, I can't spare her! The same is true for my elder brother. If you can't handle your own family affairs well, you have to You have to worry about all this for him when you are old!"

Old Ding sighed, "Forget it, she has worked hard with Ding Xu for so many years."

The sister-in-law sneered, sat beside her and looked at her newly-made nails and didn't answer.

The aunt showed some sympathy on her face, sighed, and took a sphygmomanometer to measure Lao Ding's blood pressure.

Zhong Jie went to live in the hotel by herself. She was pissed off by the two girls at Ding's house, so she took a short rest and saw that her eyes were not so red, then she got up and went to the hospital to see Ding Xu.She has always been a proud and arrogant master, and now she is not willing to show weakness in front of anyone, not even her son.

Zhong Jie went to the hospital with a Kun bag. She was dressed a little differently from those in the north. She wasn't very warm, but she was pretty enough that people couldn't help but look at her twice while walking in the hospital.

When she found Ding Xu's ward, she was a little impatient. The hospital was a little old, and the conditions in Ding Xu's small ward were not very good.

Ding Xu was startled when he saw her, sat up and called her: "Mom."

Xiao Liangwen was sitting on the side peeling apples for Ding Xu, but when he heard Ding Xu address her like that, he also stood up and made room for Zhong Jie.

Zhong Jie frowned and glanced at the half-new chair, she didn't even want to sit down, she just stood there and said, "No, I just came to see you, why are you sick again? You are so old , I don’t know how to take care of myself outside.”

Ding Xu was silent and did not speak.

Zhong Jie glanced at the tall boy standing next to him. He had good facial features, but he looked a little fierce. She guessed that he might be Ding Xu's classmate, but she was not polite, and said, "This classmate, please help me to make pots." Water, thank you."

Xiao Liangwen nodded in agreement, and went out with a thermos bottle.

The room was quiet, Zhong Jie didn't speak, and Ding Xu didn't take the initiative to speak. The atmosphere between mother and son was a bit awkward.

Zhong Jie couldn't hold back, and broke the calm: "You have been with your grandfather during this time, have you heard any news?"

Ding Xu looked down at the snow-white sheets on his knees, and said, "No, I usually go to class, take a lunch break in the dormitory, and go home at night."

Zhong Jie was stunned for a moment, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You usually only do these things? I sent you here, not just for you to study hard, you have to build a good relationship with your grandfather, and mention me and your father more... ...Your dad is the same now, he can't see anyone all day long, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to make such a trip by myself!" After she finished speaking, she saw the needle on Ding Xu's wrist, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, and added another sentence , "And your body, how can I rest assured."

Ding Xu pursed his lips, but did not refute.

Zhong Jie paced back and forth in the ward, her high-heeled shoes thumping loudly, and "reminded" Ding Xu some things he should do as the eldest grandson, with a strong tone between the lines, and at the end, she asked Ding Xu again After hearing a satisfactory answer, he smiled and nodded.

"You are still obedient, your mother has worked so hard to raise you, you must be a good child, you know?" Zhong Jie stood in front of his hospital bed, looking at Ding Xu's face, with complicated emotions in her eyes . "Everything mom does is for your own good. Remember, you, me and your father, the three of us are together, this is a family."

Ding Xu didn't have any special reaction, just nodded and said yes, the relationship between him and Zhong Jie has always been like this, and Zhong Jie's concern for him sometimes looks more like a deal.

He remembered what Zhong Jie said before leaving. She said that she sent herself to the north to give him a better future, to study abroad, or to have more and better choices.Now it seems that he is just a chess piece, Zhong Jie asked him to come to the north, and he came, even if he goes on to further study in the future, he is just a more advanced chess piece.

When I was young, I was sad because of this, and I also resisted silently, but after a few times, I gradually gave up, and gradually kept a cold distance from my family.

Zhong Jie took a brief look at him, and gave Ding Xu some money from her bag to keep, but Ding Xu avoided her and said, "No need, grandpa has already paid for my medical expenses, and I also have a scholarship."

Zhong Jie frowned, remembering what the two sisters-in-law of the Ding family said about her being snobby and money-worshiping, she became angry for a while, put the money back into her bag, and said coldly: "Okay! Don't drag me down, I'll hurry up and give it to you." Your Ding family will give you money, that's fine!"

She strode out, and when she opened the door, she almost bumped into Xiao Liangwen who was carrying a thermos bottle, she hid to the side, and left with an ugly face.

Xiao Liangwen came in to put the thermos bottle away, glanced at Ding Xu, and said, "You don't look like your mother."

Ding Xu reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "A lot of people say that, maybe it's more like my dad's people. Didn't you also see grandpa in uniform when he was young? He's pretty handsome."

Xiao Liangwen reached out his hand to touch his cheek, held it for a closer look, and said affirmatively, "It looks a bit like it, but you still look good."

Ding Xu looked up at him, saw him slowly approaching, couldn't help but dodge, "Don't be like this..."

Xiao Liangwen held him firmly with his hands, and leaned down to kiss Ding Xu. The first time Ding Xu turned his head away and only kissed his cheek, but the second time he pinched his chin and kissed him. corners of the lips.

Ding Xu was a little annoyed, he raised the back of his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth vigorously, and said, "You are almost enough! That day was water feeding, today is why!"

Xiao Liangwen looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "No reason, I just did it when I thought so."

Ding Xu was so angry with him, "Can you control yourself?! What kind of place is this, you dare to mess around..."

"It's much better this way." Xiao Liangwen rubbed his lips, turning his originally pale lips into blood, "I just saw that you were unhappy."

Ding Xu was depressed just now, but now he is angry. He couldn't tell which one was better for a while, so he closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Go over there for me, and recite all the three texts in a while. Write it silently for me."

Xiao Liangwen was satisfied with getting what he wanted, and sat there doing his homework seriously.When the nurse came for the injection, he didn't leave. While doing his homework, he looked up at Ding Xu from time to time, and when he saw that the medicine in his infusion bottle was running out, he went out and called the nurse to change it.

After Ding Xu got the injection, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and with Xiao Liangwen taking care of him carefully, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
