singer and bar owner

"Old Xu...Old Xu, our Dengdeng is back, open your eyes and look at our son, he has become more handsome, even more handsome than when you were young..." Mother Xu's tears could not stop falling.

Dad Xu didn't respond at all, as if he was in a deep sleep.

Mama Xu sighed with red eyes, she turned her head slightly to look at Xu Dengdeng, only then did she realize that there was still a person standing behind Xu Dengdeng.

"This is…"

"Ah... this is..." Xu Dengdeng opened his mouth, and Yan Xian behind him tugged at his sleeve violently. He paused, knowing that it was definitely not a good time to announce, so he sniffed and lowered his voice. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "This is my... very good friend."

Yan Xian nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello." Xu's mother looked at Yan Xian and nodded, then looked back at Xu's father on the hospital bed, and sighed.

"He's been getting worse and worse these past two days, and he could still talk to me two days ago..."

Xu Dengdeng pinched himself hard, he wished he was dreaming at this moment, this is not a hospital, and the person lying on the bed is not his father.

But no, he was falling apart.

"When did you find out..."

"Only a few days ago during the physical examination, he didn't tell me. I found that he ate very little and felt nauseous. I asked him what was wrong. He said he couldn't digest well. I really believed it until I fainted at home one day. It was only when I was sent to the hospital that I found out that it was not indigestion at all.”

"what did the doctor say?"

Xu Ma glanced at the person on the bed and said, "Don't disturb his rest, let's go outside and talk."

After closing the door of the ward, Mother Xu was sitting on the bench outside, her eyes were so red that it was unreasonable, Xu Dengdeng took a piece of paper from her body and wiped her tears.

"Don't cry, there is me, why don't you tell me, am I not your son?"

Xu's mother's tears flowed even more fiercely, "Mom wants to tell you...you don't know...Mom is alone in the hospital...I'm very scared, and no one can give me advice, but...Old Xu, Lao Xu said...you've had a hard time Only a slight improvement, if it is delayed, it will be a matter of a lifetime..."

Xu Dengdeng closed his eyes, "You are stupid, he is stupid and you are stupid like him."

Xu Ma glared at him, "Mom is not stupid, how can anyone say that Mom is stupid."

After a while, the voice softened again and touched his face, "Our lamp is a little fatter, it's better to be fatter, and it's better to be fatter..."

Xu Dengdeng took a deep breath, trembling all over.

He went to the doctor in charge, and the doctor pumped out the ascites for his father, and then took the time to talk to him, complaining: "You are the son of this family, why did you come here?"

Xu Dengdeng opened his mouth and didn't speak, and finally asked about his father's situation.

The doctor said: "It's advanced. Liver cancer is not painful or itchy in the early stage, and patients are not easy to detect, so once it is discovered, it is usually in the middle and late stages. There are not a few liver cancer patients in your father's condition, and the deterioration is very fast. Send it here. It has already metastasized to the kidney, which is actually very dangerous, and we don’t recommend surgery.”

"We transferred, to a better hospital..."

"The significance of transferring is not very great. According to today's science and technology, it is useless to transfer anywhere in your father's situation."

"You...you should prepare in advance."

Xu Dengdeng opened his mouth, as if he lost his voice, unable to utter a word.

What preparation?what to prepare?

He clenched his fists, looked in through the glass at the door of the ward, looked at the person lying on the bed, and instantly remembered his childhood.

When he was young, Lao Xu taught him to ride a bicycle. He fell down and it hurt a lot. When his nose was sore, he wanted to cry. At that time, Lao Xu was very fierce, "Why cry? Is it useful? You only cry when you are happy, and you cry when you don't learn to cry." " He scolded him very fiercely, which made Xu Dengdeng cry even harder, and he wiped his tears out of breath, and followed him under his buttocks.It was summer at that time, and the children did not hold grudges, were tired from crying and crying, and were attracted by the colorful candies displayed outside the store.

When Lao Xu turned his head and saw that he hadn't followed, he turned around and tried to pull him away.

He pointed to the candy in the store, "I...I want to eat that gummy bear..."

Old Xu snorted, "It's easy to become stupid if you eat candy, why do you still eat candy if you haven't learned how to bike?"

He said so, and then duplicity bought him a big box, "Go back and don't tell your mother that you fell today, or you'll have to scold me again."

Yan Xian pinched the palm of his hand, his brows were wrinkled, and his heart was aching.

"Dan Deng..."

Xu Dengdeng lay on the door of the hospital bed and looked in for a long time, then looked back at Yan Xian, slid along the door frame to the ground, lost his eyes, and murmured a few words in his mouth.

"Late..."

"Late..."

"It's late..."

"Dengdeng..." Yan Xian also knelt down and hugged him lightly.

Xu Dengdeng closed his eyes, choked up and said, "Why did I find him..."

He sometimes envies other people's fathers, and jokes and fights with his own son, instead of being strict and rigid like Lao Xu.

But Lao Xu actually made a lot of preparations for his growth, bought him books, taught him how to bike, bought him candy, tutored him in homework, supervised him in learning Erhu, beat him, praised him, and Zeng smiled and patted his head to introduce to others: "This is my son."

And now someone told him it was his turn to prepare, and he needed to prepare a beautiful urn for him.

Yan Xian hugged him tightly, "Deng Deng, it will be fine, it will be fine..."

Xu Dengdeng was buried in his arms, his shoulders trembling, "You lied..."

Yan Xian closed his eyes and sighed softly. Xu Dengdeng was easily deceived, but it seemed that Dudu could not deceive him this time.

Mama Xu didn't rest much for a long time, her energy was very low, and the flesh on her face was also reduced, and a large part was sunken.

"Go back and rest for a while, I'll watch over it." Xu Dengdeng advised his mother.

Xu's mother shook her head with red eyes, "I can't sleep, I have nightmares when I close my eyes."

She seemed to think of something, "Hey, haven't you eaten yet, take your friend to eat something, don't starve them."

Xu Ma gave Yan Xian an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I'm a guest from afar, and we were supposed to treat you well, but now..."

Yan Xian shook his head, "Auntie, you should go and have a rest first."

Xu Ma sighed, nodded, and rested on the bed beside her, Xu Dengdeng covered her with a quilt, Xu Ma grabbed his hand, "Mom misses you very much, Deng Deng, how long will you stay in Tongcheng?" .”

Xu Dengdeng patted the back of her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I won't leave, I won't leave, I will stay here and watch over you."

Xu Dengdeng seldom enters the hospital. He has always felt that this is a very cramped place. Even if the lights are brightly lit and the hospital is hung with red lanterns during Chinese New Year, the cold atmosphere in the hospital cannot be dispelled.

The two sat on the bench outside, neither of them in the mood to eat.

"It's so cold..." Xu Dengdeng murmured.

"At first I was thinking... If you guys meet, I'll introduce you to him, even if he beats me up again, I'll admit it..."

Yan Xian looked at his red eyes and trembling hands, felt a dull pain in his heart, it was very unpleasant, he hugged him suddenly, both of them were wearing thick clothes, hugging seemed clumsy, Yan Xian was tight Hold him tight.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xu Dengdeng's tears fell, wet his collar, and his neck was wet, "He was afraid that it would affect me, and he smashed my electric guitar when I left..."

Yan Xian touched his head and tightened his arms.

"Uncle actually loves you very much."

Xu Dengdeng raised his head, came out of his arms, looked at the fireworks blooming outside the window, and paused for a long time before he was a little disappointed and said: "He can't taste the special products I brought, I have been picking them for a long time..."

Yan Xian sighed quietly, and gently patted his head.

When we got back to the ward, Mother Xu had already woken up, and Old Xu who had kept his eyes closed seemed to have woken up.

As soon as Xu Dengdeng went in, he saw Old Xu opened his eyes, and immediately ran to the hospital bed and called him, "Dad! Dad!"

Old Xu turned his eyes to look at him, moved his fingers, Xu Dengdeng held his hand, "How are you, does it hurt?"

Old Xu opened his eyes empty, his fingers had no strength, he held it lightly, and then hung down weakly.

"Mom, mom... why doesn't my dad speak, mom... mom..." he asked anxiously.

Mama Xu couldn't bear to watch, and turned her back to avoid looking at them.

"Maybe I can't eat anything these two days, so I'm a bit bored."

Xu Dengdeng turned his head to look at Lao Xu's appearance carefully, seeing his thin cheekbones protruding cheekbones, and his pale and chapped lips, he suddenly felt an indescribable fear.

Old Xu's fingers were hanging down, and he moved up with some effort, but because of his lack of strength in his arms, it seemed extremely difficult.

"what do you want?"

Mama Xu turned her head to look at his movements, as if she understood, she walked over and took out a notebook from under his pillow.Dark red, with a book button.

"Want this?"

Old Xu blinked his eyes lightly, and glanced at Xu Dengdeng.

Madam Xu handed it to Xu Dengdeng hesitantly, "Give it to him?"

Old Xu blinked again.

Xu Dengdeng took the notebook slowly, touched the cover, unbuttoned the book button, and opened the book.

There was a string of addresses written on it, as well as two crooked characters.

"Go."
