White dove

Tong Tong didn't expect Tong Shining to be so worried about not seeing Tong Tong's supernatural friend, and complained for more than half an hour, especially when he heard that the other party was still booking them for them in the high-end hotel opposite. After buying two suites, I feel even more that my son is not good at being a human being, and he doesn't know how to be grateful for being favored for nothing.

After the hotel settled down and then returned to the hospital, Tong Tong’s ears were full of these nagging, and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes behind Tong Shining’s back. When Yu Xing saw it, he smiled and comforted his son: “Don’t listen to your father, he’s old I'm getting more and more nagging, I can't keep things in my heart, and I'm afraid of being in debt."

But she also asked: "What kind of friend is that? Why haven't you mentioned it before? Seeing that he treats you like this, he should be very familiar with you?"

Tong Tong didn't know how to answer, and said, "Mom, have you actually met?"Is it the person I left that letter with?

I had no choice but to mumble and prevaricate: "It's nothing, my former classmate."

Hearing this, Tong Shining also came over: "Your classmates are very good, even the dean knows you."

Tong Tong is speechless, Tong Shining always feels that others have connections, everyone is better than him, better than his son, he has suffered from no connections in his life, and when he sees others being a little bit better, he has to sigh, Tong Tong is too lazy Pay attention to his words.

Yu Xing only drank some porridge at noon, and then began to fast to prepare for the operation tomorrow morning. After she fell asleep in the afternoon, Tong Tong and Tong Shining went to the hospital gate to eat.

Many small shops were closed during the snowstorm. After a short walk, I found a dumpling restaurant that was open. There was a thick curtain hanging down, and there was steaming hot white steam inside. Tong Tong couldn’t eat dumplings filled with meat, so he ordered three delicacies and vegetarian ones. , and ordered Tong Shining stuffed with pork and celery, and the two sat face to face at a small square table.

Tong Shining hadn't retired yet, Tong Tong asked him, "Have you asked for leave from your unit these days? Too tired to run around."

"Please." The dumpling soup was brought up first, and Tong Shining took a sip from the bowl, nodded and said, "I am a low-level worker, and I am not the same as me. The leader told me to go back to work after clearing up my homework."

"That's fine." Tong Tong also took a sip of the soup. The soup was clear but not watery, but it was warm. He asked, "I've been here recently. Does your family...do you have any objections?"

When we were outside, Tong Tong and Tong Shining couldn't make a phone call once a year. Even if they called, most of them broke up unhappy. Usually, wechat would still care about each other's health and work, but they never asked about Tong Shining's personal affairs. Didn't you find another person?How are you doing?He has no idea.

Unexpectedly, Tong Shining's eyes stared: "Family? What kind of family? Aren't you and your mother family? What kind of family is there!"

The tone was actually a little angry, as if she was complaining that Tong Tong was ignorant, Tong Tong was also stunned, what do you mean?Did he miss something?

Tong Shining's eyebrows and beard are already grey, and most of his hair has already turned gray. He was already thirty when Tong Tong was born, and he was considered a super late marriage at that time. Plus, he was always depressed and aged very fast. Tong Shining looked at him, Familiar and yet a little strange, there is still some posture of blowing beard and staring, Tong Tong wants to ask what you are talking about, I forget it, can my ex-wife who has divorced long ago be considered a member of your family?

The two stared at each other, both a little dumbfounded, Tong Tong gave up, he didn't want to quarrel, forget it, think what you like, say what you like.

Two plates of steaming dumplings were served, Tong Tong set out two plates of vinegar, poured vinegar on it, and added some chili oil to his own plate, picked up the dumplings and dipped them in one bite, his cheeks puffed up, Tong Shining was also a big After stuttering, both of them seemed to be holding their breath.

After eating half of the dumplings, Tong Shining drank half a bowl of dumpling soup, and then said: "Your mother has been alone all these years, it's so pitiful, no one knows when she is sick at home, thanks to calling me, you If it wasn't for me, it's hard to say whether she would survive this trip."

Tong Tong put down his chopsticks with a "snap", held back what he wanted to say, and swallowed the words together with the dumplings in his mouth. Tong Shining was right, his son didn't play a half role in this matter.

Tong Shining's eyes were still staring: "Let me just say, your mother and I are getting older, anyway, we don't have any suitable ones around, so it's better to be together and take care of each other."

Tong Tong couldn't eat anymore, he asked, "Does my mother know what you think?"

"Can you say that? What time is it now? I'm going to have an operation soon. I treat her well. It's not like she can't see it because of her busy schedule these days. After she is discharged from the hospital, everything will be logical."

This taste is really... a thousand turns and a thousand times, all kinds of complicated, Tong Tong sighed in his heart, the unforgettable surprise directed and acted by his parents is really... speechless.

He said bluntly: "Don't think it's just a show. I have been with my mother for so many years, and I have always looked down on her. I am cold-eyed. Now that this person is sick, you will start showing affection. It is a divorce. Did you realize your own market in the marriage and love market after all these years? Knowing that you can't find someone better than my mother?"

Normally, Tong Tong would be greeted with a big mouth before she could finish her words, and maybe even kicked, but at this time Tong Tong stared at Tong Shining without any hesitation. These rebellious words, he is just because of Yu Xing's injustice, he has lived with a cold and violent maniac for so many years, and when he gets old, he still wants to be chased and beaten by the other party?What I owed him in my previous life?

Unexpectedly, Tong Shining did not get angry, but instead reflected on himself: "I used to have a bad temper, and I was not good to your mother, but it's different now. When I get old, I lose my temper. I just want to be with each other."

Jiangshan is easy to change and nature is hard to change. Tong Tong complained hard in his heart, he said: "You don't have to worry about my mother being taken care of, I can take care of you."

"If you're not at home, what kind of care do you take care of?" Tong Shining asked back.

"Mom will be able to retire soon. I will take her with me when I retire. She will be where I am." Tong Tong also choked.

"Hehe, amazing, isn't it? Ah? Your mother is still running around the world with you at such an age? I know you have been to many places over the years, doing this and that, I don't understand, but I know your mother This body can't stand it!" Tong Shining didn't show any weakness.

Tong Tong's head started to hurt from severe lack of sleep, no, why did he and his father rob his mother?His original intention was not this, but he simply felt that Tong Shining was not someone worth entrusting, and would not make Yu Xing's life better in his later years, but would only add to the trouble, he did not want to see such a situation at all.

how could this be?Why don't you go home all these years, and the sky will change when you go home? ?

He waved his hand and didn't want to talk anymore. The father and son who hadn't seen each other for a long time were unhappy.

It just so happened that Shen Shen called at this time, and he returned to Xishuangbanna from Kunming to make arrangements for the filming, and then he was free to ask about Tong Tong's situation, and happened to hit Tong Tong's muzzle, and he was on the phone. Knocking his head, Tong Tong took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, and slowly talked about Yu Xing's operation arrangement and the doctor's words, and asked about the filming situation of the crew. Hastily hung up the phone.

He completely forgot that at least he had to report Shen Chen's safety after he arrived in Yijiang. From the time he saw Border Town at Wuhan Airport, the five years after leaving Yijiang seemed to be forgotten, as if it happened in another parallel In the life of time and space, he would receive a call from Shen Shen, which made the space worlds on both sides a little connected. He realized that what Tong Shining said was right. The nature of his job really couldn't take care of his family.

So Tong Shining's eyes softened a bit. For Yu Xing, Tong Shining was indeed not a good choice, but it was a choice anyway.

It's just that Tong Tong's memory and cognition have ingrained in the parental relationship equal to cold violence and complete rupture, which will make him accept that the two may get together again, which is too difficult for him to do.

After dinner, he went back to the ward to stay with Yu Xing for a while. Yu Xing saw his bloodshot eyes and urged him to go back to sleep and rest. In the past, recently they could live there, Tong Shining nagged and said it was a waste of money, and at the same time thanked Tong Tong's capable friend.

Back in the hotel room, Tong Tong didn't even unpack the suitcase. She took off her coat and shoes and fell asleep on the bed. This sleep was very heavy, and she didn't even have a dream. When she woke up again, she found that she couldn't even sleep. I didn't change it, I fell asleep from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, and I woke up in a deep trance, suddenly not knowing where I was, and what night it was.

Opening the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the snow still hasn’t stopped outside. The room is on the nineteenth floor, and you can see the hazy starlight in the city. It’s different, Tong Tong thought, everything is different. There are so many tall buildings in Yijiang, He is in his hometown, but he feels like a passerby.

The mobile phone on the bed dinged, it was news from the border town, and he seemed to have just woken up: "I woke up hungry in the middle of sleep, did you sleep for a while? Did you eat at night?"

It was only then that Tong Tong felt hungry belatedly. She was shocked by Tong Shining's shocking thought at noon, and only ate half of the dumplings. This will make up for the sleepiness, and the sleepiness subsided slightly, and the hunger in her stomach rolled up like a sea wave .

But he replied: "I just woke up, and I will ask the hotel if there is a midnight snack, or order a takeaway."

The news from Biancheng came back quickly: "The food in this hotel is not good. Let the delivery staff rest for a while in this weather. I'll pick you up and have something to eat together?"

Tong Tong stood by the window holding his mobile phone, his heart was churning like waves not only because of hunger, but also in those years when the border city always took him here and there, eating this and that, fish from Xiba, steaming Chaoshan Casserole porridge, Uncle Seven's farm food, Uncle He's roast goose... slowly unfolding like an old picture scroll, the food and people inside are fresh, and he, Biancheng, makes fun of each other while feasting, and wants to eat after eating. Touch the other person's stomach, "It's okay, it's okay, the abdominal muscles are still there."

Suddenly feeling weak, Tong Tong slid down the window glass, he sat on the ground, the light in the room was dim, he covered his face, not understanding what he had done all these years.

On the other side of the border city, there was no reply for a long time. He clutched his mobile phone, hesitating whether to make a call, sliding his finger on the screen, pressing the string of numbers that he had never forgotten, but he did not dial out. Delete them one by one, he thought, don't force him, forget it, he typed a new line: I will help you get things delivered to your room.

Just after typing the last word before sending it out, Tong Tong's message came back: "Okay."
