Fatty

When Ji Jie walked into the ward, he seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength, leaning against the door of the ward, calming down his breathing and heartbeat, his right hand flying in the air, unable to summon the courage to knock on the door no matter what.

He felt that if it wasn't for that breath of support, he would definitely not have the strength to maintain a standing posture now.

In the end, Ji's mother, who came out to pour water, was startled when she saw Ji Jie's pale face, and said, "You child, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Mother Ji's eyes are red, but she is in good spirits.

Ji Jie's heart was about to jump out, his back hurt like pulling, and he tried to move forward.When he stepped into the ward, all the physical pain and exhaustion disappeared.

——He found the sense of security that he had been missing for the past two years.

The man was lying quietly on the hospital bed, with a hanging needle in his right hand, and he was wearing a large blue and white striped hospital gown.He was thin, with high cheekbones on his face, covered by a transparent oxygen mask, making him look particularly haggard.

Because there are patients, the air conditioner cannot be turned on.The heat in the room hit the glasses, panting, Ji Jie took off the glasses and put them on the bedside, then sat on the bench next to Ji Wencheng's bed, sweat dripped down his face as soon as he lowered his head.Ji's mother hurriedly wiped his sweat with a towel, and asked, "Did this come here? You look ugly."

Ji Jie waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and took another deep breath, and it was almost done.He lowered his voice and asked his mother, "Is my dad okay?"

"..." Ji's mother also sat down and said, "Let's live in the hospital first, the environment here is much better. The family can also help take care of it."

"Can I go home?"

"No, the prison guards are guarding outside."

Ji Jie was silent, and when the sweat dripped off his body, he gently lifted Ji Wencheng's left hand, which was not infused, and pressed it to his face, rubbing it against his face.

I used to be awkward with my father, wishing that he would disappear from my life immediately.When Yang Huaijin or Guan Tianyi said, 'Your father loves you', Ji Jie was terribly annoyed, and wanted to yell loudly, and hastily denied it, as if it was a ridiculous thing that made people sick.

Now, this man who used to control his life forcefully is lying here weakly, his life and death are uncertain, Ji Jie's tears are about to fall.

There is something invisible and intangible, but it can closely connect different independent living bodies, and it can bring a kind of unconditional trust.That thing is connected by blood.It is the power of blood.

Mother Ji sobbed beside her and said:

"...Your father has always said that you have a bad heart. In fact, this is a genetic disease. You should have thought that he was more serious than you. In the past, Lao Ji didn't take the chest pain seriously. This time... woo..."

Mother cried sadly, Ji Jie was startled when she heard that, and murmured:

"What? What... what happened to my dad?"

He heard Yang Huaijin say that it was because someone was related to him that he was released on medical parole, but he never thought that Ji Wencheng was really sick.

Ji's mother choked up and cried, almost speechless.

Ji Jie lifted Ji Wencheng's quilt with trembling hands, and found that there were marks after the operation on Ji Wencheng's chest, and there was still a urinary catheter inserted under it, which hurt so much.

Ji Jie helped Ji Wencheng tuck up the quilt, calmed down, and asked his mother, "How long will Dad wake up?"

"The anesthetic has worn off, but I just haven't woken up."

Ji Jie said: "Then let him sleep. Have you eaten yet?"

Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Ji's mother nodded and said, "I have eaten, have you not eaten yet? Let's drink some water first, there is still tea here."

Ji Jie rushed all the way here, so he could order something on the plane.The meals in the economy class were more unbearable for him than in the first class, so he just ate a piece of bread the size of a fist for lunch.But he was emotional, and he wasn't hungry right now.

Ji Jie opened the water glass and took a sip of water, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat, making it difficult to swallow.

Ji Jie asked his mother where Ji Yuan was, and his mother replied that Ji Yuan had classes in the afternoon and cram school in the evening, and it was too late to finish cram school, so he was left alone at home.

Ji Yuan is in the second grade this year, and it is too much for him to be alone at home.Ji Jie was worried, and asked Ji's mother to go home to take care of his younger brother.

"It's okay, Aunt Wang from the house next door said to let her son sleep with Ji Yuan. He is Ji Yuan's classmate."

"Hmm..." After Ji Wencheng's house was investigated, his family moved out and lived in a building less than [-] square meters.It's good that it's close to Jiyuan's school.Like Ji Jie, Ji Yuan is afraid of strangers and is unwilling to go to other people's houses.I had to ask the neighbors to take care of it.

Aunt Wang was divorced a long time ago, and she took care of her son alone. She was usually very lonely, so she also liked Ji Yuan very much.

After talking about Ji Yuan for a while, another prison guard came to guard him.Ji Jie treated them very repulsively and vigilantly, he was busy until three o'clock in the morning and didn't want to go home to sleep.

Seeing that Ji Jie was determined to stay, Ji's mother sighed, and set up a small bed beside her, and let Ji Jie lie on it.

Ji Jie refused and let Ji's mother sleep. Ji's mother said that I would go home and get some things later, so you should leave me alone.

But Ji Jie knew that this was a refusal, so he refused to lie down.Mother Ji had no choice but to sleep on the bed, while Ji Jie sat on the chair.Fortunately, it is summer, which is better than winter.

Three o'clock is the most sleepy time, Ji Jie wanted to hold on for the night.But his mood fluctuated too much, he was tired after another day, and the hospital was too stuffy, so he fell asleep in a daze.

But he didn't dare to sleep to death.Outside the door was the prison guard guarding Ji Wencheng, what if they took Ji Wencheng away while he was asleep?So he must not let his guard down.

This time...instead of him...

Ji Jie was so tired, he lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, trembling from time to time, his body curled up, his eyes were full of fatigue.At about four o'clock, Ji Jie suddenly felt itchy on the right side of his face.He woke up suddenly, sat up straight and looked around. When he saw something on his right face, his eyes softened, and his whole body relaxed.

He saw Ji Wencheng lift his left hand with difficulty, and touched his right cheek very, very lightly.That force would not have woken Ji Jie up, but he was so vigilant that he woke up all of a sudden.

Ji Jie's sleeping position was abnormal, and his neck was extremely stiff at the moment. He relaxed, leaned over and sat next to Ji Wencheng, and held his hand so that he could touch his face.

Those hands were dry and cold.

"..." Ji Wencheng was still not used to Ji Jie's sudden intimacy, his right hand trembled, and he hesitated to touch his beloved son, his eyes were a little moist.

"...Dad." Ji Jie rubbed his face against Ji Wencheng's hand, there were many things he wanted to say to Ji Wencheng, but in this situation, he couldn't speak no matter what.

Ji Wencheng was still wearing an oxygen mask, and it was difficult to speak. He tilted his head and looked at Ji's mother with soft eyes, and fell asleep again after a while.

Ji Jie put his father's hand under the quilt, and something called a sense of security filled his heart.Ji Wencheng woke up, and he will recover in a short time, and he will take care of him, love him, and protect him as before.

Don't let anyone bully Ji Jie.

His father is like a mountain.

Because of Ji Wencheng's touch, Ji Jie completely relaxed, and fell asleep lying on the hospital bed. It was already eight o'clock in the morning when he was woken up by his mother the next day.

"Xiao Ji, get up and eat something."

Ji Jie had a sore shoulder, stretched his waist, then remembered something, and immediately looked at Ji Wencheng.

Ji Wencheng still had his eyes closed, and his breathing was heavier than usual, with the frequency unique to a sleeping person.

"Your dad woke up once in the morning and fell asleep again. I wiped his hands and feet." Ji's mother pursed her lips and smiled, "He still wants to hug you to the bed. Really, he can't even stand up..."

Ji Jie blinked, but said nothing.

It took two days to accompany Ji's mother to take care of Ji Wencheng in the hospital. After all, he was old and his recovery ability was not as good as that of young people. Ji Wencheng slept more and woke up less.

It's still summer, even if you do the simplest cleaning every day, two days without a bath is enough to make you uncomfortable.Ji's mother also took time to go home to see Ji Yuan, and took a bath by the way.Ji Jie stayed by Ji Wencheng's side 24 hours a day as long as he opened his eyes, for fear that the prison guards on duty would take his father away.

Ji's mother advised him, why don't you go home and take a bath?

Ji Jie hesitated and shook his head.

He really wanted to say a few words to Ji Wencheng.The past two years were difficult, and when he thought of what he had said and done to Ji Wencheng before, he felt uncomfortable.

But to be honest, what can he tell Ji Wencheng?sorry?

Ji Wencheng would not be really angry with him.Thinking of this, Ji Jie felt even more depressed.

Until the next afternoon, a man came to the ward to visit Ji Wencheng with a basket of flowers and fruit in his hand.

Ji Jie was sitting by the bed eating, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and was taken aback for a while before saying, "Are you here?"

The man put down the things in his hands, greeted Ji's mother, moved a chair and sat beside Ji Jie, very familiar.

Then he stroked Ji Jie's hair and said, I'm here.It's time for you to wash your hair.

That person was Yang Huaijin, after all the calculations, Ji Jie and Yang Huaijin hadn't seen each other for nearly two years.

Ji Jie put down the chopsticks in his hand, signaled to the ward that it was difficult to talk, and asked him to go out with him.

After going out, the two stood in front of the window and looked out, Ji Jie asked:

"You moved? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yang Huaijin smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, and there was something unspeakable in her eyes.Ji Jie found that Yang Huaijin had changed, and he couldn't understand it.

Yang Huaijin had never smiled like this before.A heavy smile intertwined with helplessness and compromise.

Yang Huaijin held the handle, leaned on it, changed the subject, and asked, "How is your father?"

"..."

"Sorry, I couldn't get him out earlier." Yang Huaijin said, "My Uncle Ji suffered a lot in there. You take good care of him, he is for you..."

"You don't need to say it." Ji Jie has always disliked Yang Huaijin's preaching tone, and it's fine for others to say a few words, but Yang Huaijin can't keep mentioning it.

Yang Huaijin smiled, turned around and pinched Ji Jie's neck, and said: "Stinky boy, can't you just listen to me?"

"No." Ji Jie frowned, "Where have you been all this time?"

"—I can't tell you."

"What's the matter with you?" Ji Jie said, "Ba Qiang, what's the matter with you?"

The summer here is not as hot as Beijing, and it is only [-] degrees at noon.Ji Jie was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, feeling a bit cold for no reason.

Yang Huaijin laughed bitterly, but didn't make a sound. She looked at Ji Jie carefully, then pouted, pointed at the ward, and said, "Go home and rest. I'll watch over it for you. I'll contact you if there's anything to do. Don't worry. "

Ji Jie believed in Yang Huaijin, more than Ji's mother, and agreed after hesitating.

After returning home and taking a thorough shower, Ji Jie put on fresh clothes, and suddenly heard his younger brother's voice, so he went out while wiping his hair, and saw Ji Yuan after school in the afternoon.Ji Yuan has not yet reached the puberty stage, and his stature has not changed significantly, but his personality has undergone sharp changes.Looking down from the upstairs, Ji Yuan went upstairs with another boy who was probably a classmate, his eyes were half-opened as if sleepy, and he seemed very impatient, and the corners of his mouth turned down, showing a displeased look.

"Guoguo." Ji Jie called out suddenly, and when Ji Yuan raised his head, he shook his hand.

Ji Yuan was stunned, and when he looked up and saw Ji Jie, his expression suddenly lit up, he called out 'ah', and then quickly ran upstairs, no matter what the little classmates behind him shouted.

Ji Jie hurriedly opened the door for him.With the hot smell of being baked by the sun on Ji Yuan's body, he ran towards Ji Jie.Ji Jie put down the towel in his hand and hugged Ji Yuan, feeling the temperature on his brother's body was as high as the sun.

"Brother, I miss you so much." Ji Yuan said obediently, and buried his head on Ji Jie's shoulder.

Ji Jie patted him on the back.

Ji Yuan is seven years old this year, he is not as tall as Ji Jie's when he stands up, and he is thin and dark, causing heartache for no reason.

"Guoguo, brother will go back to the hospital to see dad soon. Are you coming with me, or what?"

"...Guoguo is at home, doing homework."

"Why? Don't you want to see Dad?"

"I have too much homework." Ji Yuan showed an impatient expression, "If I can't finish it, the teacher will ask the parents."

Please parents is the abbreviation of 'please parents come to the school to talk'.

Ji Jie nodded and said, "Okay."

At this time, the male classmate following Ji Yuan also climbed up the stairs, panting with wide eyes, looking at Ji Yuan and Ji Jie without saying a word.

Ji Jie put Ji Yuan down, and said to him: "The elder brother is gone, you and your classmates have a good time."

After speaking, he picked up the backpack on the chair and was about to go out.

Ji Yuan pulled Ji Jie's clothes and said, "Brother. I miss you, and I also want to go to the hospital with you."

"Guoguo is good, brother will come back."

Except for Ji Wencheng, the younger brother who didn't grow up, and the mother who needed to be taken care of...everyone in this family needs to rely on Ji Jie.

Knowing this, Ji Jie no longer stays in the hospital all the time. Of course, he still spends a lot of time in the hospital, but as long as Yang Huaijin comes, he can have a short "shift break". He will go home to accompany his younger brother. It was only two or three hours, and it had to be the time when Yang Huaijin came to watch for him.

Ji Jie trusted Yang Huaijin so much, and felt that if something happened to Ji Wencheng, Yang Huaijin would be the first to notify him.

Believe it or not.

Ji Wencheng woke up for more than an hour a week after the operation.The surgery had severely injured him, and it was very difficult for him to open his mouth to speak.

He could only look at Ji Jie, and he was very embarrassed.

So Ji Jie turned his face away and said fiercely:

"Look at what!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it, and turned his head to look Ji Wencheng in the eyes.Ji Wencheng was not angry at all, he even smiled, his eyes were moist and gentle.

So Ji Jie held Ji Wencheng's hand and cried silently.

He wanted Ji Wencheng too much.In the past two years, Ji Jie seemed to have no father, always sleeping restlessly, and dreaming that Ji Wencheng was tortured to extract a confession, or suffered in the detention center.

Ji Wencheng was startled, breathed hard, raised his hand tremblingly, touched Ji Jie's face, and said after a long time: "...why...you still cry so much?"

Does Ji Jie like to cry?

He doesn't love.As long as he can remember, no one has seen Ji Jie shed tears.But it is said that Ji Jie was very squeamish when he was a child, and he cried until he couldn't see his parents. He was a child who could never leave his parents' sight for half a minute.

I don't know when it started, probably because Ji Wencheng was too busy with work, and Ji's mother needed to be quiet when writing, so Ji Jie gradually became 'independent'.He ran close to the children of the Yang family, and the two of them played well no matter what, it seemed that they no longer needed to cling to their parents.

Ji Wencheng was both sad and relieved.Like all fathers.

Because Guan Tianren went to another place to take the exam, the exam content was closed and he was not allowed to contact his family, so he didn't know about Ji Jie's return to the Northeast for the time being.When he found out, he immediately called Ji Jie, asked about the situation here, and said that he would go back with Ji Jie.

Ji Jie said: "Where are you staying? Let's talk after the exam."

Ji Jie may not care about the final grades of the second year of high school, but Guan Tianren can't.Although Tianren's grades are so good, if he takes the road of recommendation in the future and misses a final exam result, the impact will be unimaginable.

Guan Tianren was in a hurry and said, "How can I do that? Where and what are you eating?"

"What do you mean, is it possible that I can only eat the food you cook?" Ji Jie was in a good mood, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said, "...my dad is still talking to me when he wakes up."

Having been with Ji Jie for such a long time, Guan Tianren has been able to discern very keenly whether Ji Jie is really happy or not. Seeing that his mood is stable, Guan Tianren heaves a sigh of relief.

"... Then you wait for me."

"...Well. Come over when you are on vacation."

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Ji Wencheng's condition began to improve.In another week, he can lean on the head of the bed and eat.In half a month, he can get out of bed and walk with Ji Jie's support.Although not as healthy and strong as before, it has indeed become better.

Ji Jie was overjoyed, and when he got excited, he could only shout 'Dad, Dad...' and couldn't say a single word.

Seeing him like this, Ji Wen feels better and recovers faster.

Ji's mother is not as strong as Ji Jie, and is not responsible for helping Ji Wencheng, but only responsible for cooking and cleaning.Her hand that holds a writing brush all the year round is not suitable for holding a shovel. It is enough to cook the vegetables when cooking. Ji Jie is picky eater, and he can't stand it after eating two bites. The meat carefully raised by Guan Tianren is gone within a few days. Ji Jie is tall and looks thin.When Ji's mother felt Ji Jie's ribs, she was very worried.

Ji Jie didn't think much of it, and occasionally got irritable when eating, and even had to cook by himself, but the half-baked things he made by himself looked even more disgusting.

Is it possible that I can only eat the food cooked by the housekeeper?Thinking of this, Ji Jie was speechless.
