Mu Chen

7. Moving

When Mu Chen went to the bedroom to pick up his cell phone, he realized that the bed he slept in had already been made, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the barely folded squares of the soft quilt.

The two went to the hospital together, and Lin Lan woke up again last night, both of them were a little excited.

Muchen waited until Director Xie checked the room, asked about the details, and then introduced Yu Yong to Director Xie.Director Xie also told the doctor on duty that if Lin Lan woke up again, he would let Yu Yong go in to visit him, which would better stimulate the patient's recovery.

Afterwards, Muchen emailed Director Tang Lin Lan's recent situation and Director Xie's diagnosis and medication status, and then prepared to return to Shicheng.

Lin Lan fainted during the demolition negotiations between the people in the family home and the developer. At that time, the cerebral hemorrhage exceeded 50 milliliters, her blood pressure was as high as 220, and she was in a coma all the time, which was very dangerous.Later, I underwent craniotomy and debridement, and it took five days for me to wake up.

Because of Lin Lan's illness, the demolition was finally settled.

Yesterday he received a notice from the demolition office: the developer made another concession, the relocated square meters will be calculated at 1:1.2, and the original ratio of 1:1 is no longer applicable. If the house is not wanted, the corresponding compensation will also be calculated according to this ratio.

Muchen intends to go back to Shicheng to sign and move. He doesn't want the house, and plans to take the money directly.Because she still doesn't understand Lin Lan's thoughts, her house has to be decided by herself after she wakes up.

He told Yu Yong about the situation, and told him to eat on time at noon, and finally left his medicine, spray and a set of house keys prepared for him before getting up and leaving.He's not coming back tonight and needs to pack his things.

Yu Yong had no objection to his other arrangements, but he was a little uneasy when he said he was going back to pack his things and move, "Brother, why don't you wait another two days, or wait until I go back with you, and I'll help you clean up. "

Mu Chen smiled, "It's okay, I can do it by myself, and there are not many things to move at home."

Yu Yong whispered in confusion, "But you were injured."

Muchen... is it my fault?But seeing Yu Yong's worried little expression, he still didn't say anything after all.Of course, seeing his downcast face, Yu Yong didn't dare to speak again.

Driving is still a bit tiring. He has been able to stand but not sit these two days.After returning to Shicheng, because the demolition office was in the family courtyard, he went directly to go through the formalities, signed a letter of commitment to move within a limited time, and got the check.

There are only two rooms in the Mu family's house, but the rooms are large. The real estate certificate shows 52 square meters.Although there is no area including balconies and shared stalls in the hallway, the compensation is still calculated based on this. The unit price is 1.2 per square meter, which is the real price of Shicheng. According to the 11 ratio, Mu Chen got a total of more than [-].

After he came out, he went to the bank to cash the check and deposited the money on the card.Then I called 114 to find a moving company, and made an appointment to go to City Y the next afternoon.

Thinking of having to work in the afternoon, Mu Chen didn't dare to just drink porridge anymore, so he found a random shop to eat a bowl of white noodles, and then went home and started packing.

The two wooden beds, two desks, and two chairs they used when they were teenagers must be taken away, as well as a pile of bedding, some clothes and small items of Mu Wen and Grandpa Mu.And a box of Yu Yong's things: his stamp album, marbles, a triangle made from cigarette pack paper, two piggy banks, toy cars, a non-moving robot, game consoles, game cards, and those metal machetes .

The big bed, bookcase and wardrobe in Mu Wen's room were too old, and one of the wardrobe doors was broken, so he didn't even plan to take it.

The most are the books at home, including professional books, and many famous books that Mu Wen bought for him and Yu Yong back then, as well as a few reading notes written by them when they were young.Muchen found familiar comments on it, seeing these again after so many years, it's really different.

Sitting there looking through it for a long time, Muchen felt very sad.

For his father, he thinks of it naturally every day, and it is really "unforgettable without thinking".More than three years have passed, and the heart-wrenching pain of that day is no longer there.But at this moment, in this old house that was about to be razed to the ground, he missed him so much.

It was almost ten o'clock when I barely finished packing.Mu Chen looked at the kitchen that hadn't been done yet, and he still had no energy to start. The hot water in the bathroom had already been boiled, so he washed it casually, applied the medicine, brushed his hair indiscriminately, and went to bed.

Yu Yong didn't call him that day, but he turned on his phone and found several unread messages, all of which were text messages from Yu Yong asking about the situation and telling him not to be too tired.

Looking at the last one, it was sent 10 minutes ago, and he dialed back, "Where is it?"

Yu Yong answered in seconds, "Still in the hospital, brother, are you done?"

Muchen, "Well, it's simple for me, and I don't need a house, so I can just sign and get the money. The things are almost packed, and I can get home tomorrow night. Have you taken all the medicine? Have you sprayed watermelon cream? That can't be stopped, soak it Go down and order, by the way, how is Aunt Lin today?"

Hearing his familiar chanting, Yu Yong's worry that Mu Chen was still angry when he didn't get any news was swept away, and he couldn't help but smile.

He waved goodbye to Sister Chen and walked out of the hospital, "My mother woke up three times today, and it took more than an hour."

Muchen heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Yu Yong went on to say, "The first time I told the doctor to let me in for 15 minutes, but then I was not allowed to go in. I just talked to her at the glass and made gestures. My mother recognized me, and the words were still good. Clearly, but she couldn't move, she said she didn't feel the left side of her body, and I didn't dare to tell the truth, but she kept crying."

Mu Chen chuckled, "She's crying, which means she's getting better soon."

Yu Yong also laughed, "The more I persuaded her, the more she cried, and finally the nurse stopped after saying a few words."

The two kept talking meaningless nonsense, one didn't feel tired, and the other didn't feel his mouth hurt.Mu Chen didn't react until he heard the sound of unlocking and entering the door, "You're home, right? Take a shower and go to bed, you'll still have some trouble tomorrow."

Yu Yong, "Well, brother, you should go to bed early too, and don't move your things when they are brought back. I will clean them up at home tomorrow night."

Muchen, "Okay."

The next day I woke up early again, went down to eat breakfast, and then went home to clean the kitchen.In the end, he took a kitchen knife and a noodle cutter that Mu Wen used frequently.It was a piece of bent iron, very simple, and it was made by Mu Wen when he asked his acquaintances in the factory to sharpen the blade with an iron piece. It has been in their home for 30 years, and they are older than Mu Chen.

There is also a set of copper products brought from the old house, including spatulas, large and small spoons, chopsticks, jugs, and several small wine glasses. This was given by a patient of Grandpa Mu to thank the old man. It is said that it is his family's handicraft. .There is also a set of plates bought by Mu Wen, consisting of a round plate and eight fan-shaped plates, which have always been special plates for their New Year's Eve dinner.

Finally, I took some of the most commonly used plates and bowls at home, and two teacups for Mu Wen: a glass he bought for Mu Wen's birthday. Mu Wen is very precious and always uses it to drink green tea.The other is a purple sand pot, which Jiang Cheng bought when he went on a trip during the Spring Festival the second year he came to his house. It is said that it came from a famous artist, and Mu Wen was not very willing to use it, and the packaging is still there.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when I went to City Y to move my things to the second floor and put them away.Muchen didn't eat last night, and today he only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning. After another day of exhaustion, he felt that his left hand was swollen, and it was indeed a bit swollen when he touched it.He didn't dare to take medicine directly on an empty stomach, and was about to go out to find something to eat when his phone rang.

It was Yu Yong, "Brother, haven't you come back yet? Where have you been?"

Muchen, "I'm on the second floor, how about you?"

Yu Yong, "Then you go downstairs to eat, don't clean up, I'll do it tonight."

Muchen?

After hanging up the phone and going down to the first floor, the door was ajar, and there was a scent of sesame paste and sesame oil in the room, Mu Chen sniffed, "Why did you come back all of a sudden? What are you doing? How is Aunt Lin today?" ?”

Yu Yong, "I don't know how to make other things. I bought noodles. Let's eat noodles."

Mu Chen nodded, "Okay."

The two stood in front of the stove, talking about their respective situations while cooking.

Mu Chen poured water to cook the noodles, while Yu Yong continued to use warm water to make sesame sauce.He has strong hands, and after a while Kung Fu sesame paste can be scooped up and dripped with a spoon, then add salt, a little sugar, and sesame oil and mix well.Both of them are not suitable for spicy food now, so there is no chili oil.

At this time, Mu Chen saw that the noodles were almost cooked, so he poured in the washed spinach, turned off the heat when the pot was turned on again, poured cold water, put it in a bowl, and added the sauce.

Originally, Mu Chen didn't want to drink cold water, after all it was winter, it was just Yu Yong's mouth full of fire bubbles, so he couldn't eat hot food.

Yu Yong mixed it for Mu Chen first, "Brother, let's sit at the dining table and eat."

Mu Chen turned his head and saw a pillow on the wooden dining table and chairs. Because the sofa is narrow, the pillows that Mu Chen matched were also relatively small. It was not bought by him at first glance, it was a big one.

Yu Yong lowered his head and didn't look at him, "I bought it today, brother, can you try to sit and watch?"

Muchen's face was a little hot, but he couldn't help but look guilty, so he could only go out with his own bowl.Fortunately, this pillow is not the bulging kind, it is very soft and flat, it is more suitable as a cushion.

As soon as he put himself away, Yu Yong brought another glass of water, and he found a handful of bananas on the table as he followed the glass.Neither of them like to eat bananas, and now they put a lot of them here... Mu Chen felt that he didn't want to say anything anymore.

Yu Yong didn't dare to speak, the two finished eating the noodles in silence, Yu Yong washed the dishes, and Mu Chen went to take a shower.

He can't use his left hand very well, and he hasn't washed his underwear after taking a shower in the past two days.Today when I went back to Shicheng, I didn’t take any other clothes, but I brought back a pack of underwear, and I was going to wear one and throw the other away. After all, I needed to apply medicine, and the wound was not healed because there were some stains.

But now he went into the bathroom, only to find that what was hanging on the radiator was the underwear he had gathered with his shirt yesterday and was going to throw away.After taking out the underwear, he noticed that the shirt he was about to throw was still hanging on the drying rack on the balcony. He walked over and took a closer look, and found that the buttons were all intact.

It feels really complicated.

I washed it indiscriminately, mainly to apply the medicine, and then gave up the idea of ​​hiding it and throwing it out, throwing the changed underwear into the trash can.Unsurprisingly, when he went out, Yu Yong was standing at the door and looking at him worriedly.

Mu Chen was annoyed by the stares, "Stop washing, go upstairs to work first."

Yu Yong nodded, and he didn't forget to take the cushion and some bananas before going upstairs, "Brother, are there any stools upstairs? Do you want to move them up?"

Muchen, pretend he didn't hear it.

Yu Yong also stopped talking.After entering the room, Yu Yong first found a chair and put the cushion on it, and after Mu Chen sat down, he stuffed a few bananas into his hand, "Brother, how do you put it, you tell me."
