White dove

Yu Xing entered the operating room at eight o'clock in the morning, Tong Tong and Tong Shining went to the ward at 06:30, Yu Xing's preoperative examination and preparations were all ready, the nurse hadn't come yet, Tong Tong wanted Yu Xing to go back to the hospital quietly. During bedtime, Tong Shining kept nagging beside him, "I had a dream last night, oh, it was scary, it woke me up in the middle of the night, and I realized it was a dream when I woke up, and I was lucky for a long time."

Tong Tong didn't want to talk to him, but Yu Xing asked in a good-tempered manner: "What did you dream about? Dreams are always reversed. Only bad dreams are good."

"I'm relieved when you say that." Tong Shining didn't look like he was woken up in the middle of the night and didn't sleep well. He dragged the stool and leaned against Yu Xing's bed: "I dreamed that the doctor's operation was endless. I can't come out of the operating room, the inside is red and full of blood..."

Tong Tong was furious: "Is there a mistake?! Ah? This will talk about this?!"

Only then did Tong Shining come to his senses: "That's right, that's unlucky, that's unlucky, look at me..."

Yu Xing was very calm, and comforted him: "It's okay, I said that dreams are always reversed, if you have this dream, my operation will go well today."

Tong Tong stared at Tong Shining, who is the patient?Who does the surgery?Should the patient comfort the family?

He dimmed the lights in the room, and said to Yu Xing: "It's still early, the nurse's station has just turned over, why don't you go to sleep again?"

"I can't sleep." Yu Xing sat up with all the pillows behind him, stretched out his hand to Tong Tong, and Tong Tong sat on the other side of the bed, holding Yu Xing's hand, a thin and lonely one, Tong Tong's hand The shape is very similar to Yu Xing, both of which have slender fingers, he lightly tightened Yu Xing's hand, and whispered: "Mom, it's okay."

"I'm not afraid." Yu Xing said, "I'm 27 in a flash, I'm an adult."

Tong Tong nodded, feeling sore in his heart, Yu Xing took a sip from the water cup, and said to Tong Shining: "The water is not too hot, why don't you go get some hot water?"

"How come?" Tong Shining touched the cup, doubtfully picked up the thermos and went to the boiling water room in the corridor.

Yu Xing then said to Tong Tong: "The operation will be over in a while, no matter what the doctor tells you, don't be afraid, Xiao Tong, your father is getting old, don't let him know if you have any news, you can communicate with the doctor , look, I haven't had the surgery yet, so your dad is in such a panic."

"En." Tong Tong nodded, he really wanted to ask Yu Xing, do you know that my dad wants to get back together with you, but it was really inappropriate to say anything at this time, so he swallowed the words.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xing asked him: "Little Tong, that boy is the one you left the letter to, have you met this time when you come back?"

Tong Tong was stunned, he didn't dare to look at Yu Xing, but Yu Xing held his hand and asked gently: "The friend who went to Wuhan to pick you up, and the person who helped arrange the ward and the hotel, is he?"

"Yeah." Tong Tong didn't want to hide it from Yu Xing, he raised his head, looked at Yu Xing and said, "It's him."

Yu Xing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "When the boy came here, he was devastated, as if he hadn't eaten or slept for a month. I was really afraid that something would happen to him."

The heart seemed to be twisted violently by something, Tong Tong's eyelashes flickered, and he said, "Did he... say anything?"

Yu Xing shook his head and recalled: "He only asked me where Xiaotong was and whether I had been back here. At that time, I didn't know where you were. Your mobile phone was not connected, and I only received messages from you occasionally. , You said you went out to find a job, so I told him that you had already left and was not in Yijiang, and then gave him the letter."

"Did he read it?" Tong Tong asked.

"Look, opened it in front of me, I don't know what you wrote, after reading it, his whole face was pale, and he was so tall, as if he was pressed by something, he couldn't stand up straight I quickly asked him to sit down, made him another cup of brown sugar water, and prepared to cook some noodles for him to eat, but he didn’t want anything, and left after drinking half of the brown sugar water.”

Tong Tong was fixed there, and following Yu Xing's speech, Tong Tong seemed to see what the border town looked like back then, searching everywhere, and finally found Yu Xing's house in desperation, and got the letter of refusal.

He took his hand out of Yu Xing's hand, lowered his head and covered his face.

Nothing in the past can be forgiven.

"He is a good boy." Yu Xing patted his head: "But, I believe you have your reasons for leaving him, right?"

Tong Tong nodded weakly, Yu Xing sighed: "Let's go, Xiao Tong, people who should be together will always be together, you see me and your dad..."

While talking, Tong Shining opened the door and came in, Yu Xing's words came to an abrupt end, Tong Tong glanced at the door, it turned out that Yu Xing had already known clearly in his heart, and had already accepted, the people who should be together... Tong Tong thought, Biancheng is not someone who should be together, but someone he buried with his own hands.

The little nurses from the nurse station came over, changed Yu Xing's surgical gown, and made the final preoperative preparations, while talking to her softly: "Auntie, don't be nervous, Director Ye has been doing this kind of surgery for almost half his life. Yes, I will be sedated before going to the operating table, so I won't be nervous at all."

Yu Xing smiled and comforted them in turn: "Auntie is not nervous, Auntie has lived half her life, she has no regrets, she can accept anything."

Tong Tong turned to look at Tong Shining, his brows had not been relaxed since he left the hotel in the morning, he was the one who was nervous, Tong Tong patted him on the shoulder: "Small surgery, don't worry."

At the last moment of entering the operating room, Yu Xing turned around and smiled at Tong Tong and Tong Shining, Tong Tong also smiled, and turned around to see Tong Shining's face with a smile that was uglier than crying.

The estimated time for the operation was about three hours. Tong Tong and Tong Shining were sitting in the waiting room, and there were a few other family members of patients who were undergoing surgery. He said to Tong Shining, "Go out and eat something, it's still early. .”

Tong Shining waved his hand: "I can't eat it, so I can eat it no matter what time it is."

Tongtong sighed, and was about to say that I would go eat and bring you some, when she saw the closed door handle of the waiting hall turned downwards, the door was turned open from the outside, and a tall figure Turning over half of his body and looking in, he was meeting Tong Tong's gaze. The figure entered the hall, turned around and closed the door, and walked to Tong Tong's side.

Tong Tong stood up: "Why are you here so early?" He looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was only [-]:[-].

"I said I would come to accompany you. It's not just right." Bian Cheng said while passing the things in his hand: "I brought breakfast for you and uncle, I guess you don't have time to eat early in the morning."

Tong Tong took it over, hot soy milk, and a paper bag with crab rice dumpling written on it, Tong Tong was startled, remembering the last day he left, the last meal he had was the crab cake dumpling left on the dining room table by Biancheng, Dazed for a moment, Tong Shining thanked Biancheng again and again, and then asked Tong Tong: "Is this your friend?"

"Ah, yes," Tong Tong regained consciousness: "Dad, this is the friend I told you about, Border Town, this time I went to Wuhan to pick me up, and arranged wards and hotels."

"Oh," Tong Shining stepped forward to greet Biancheng to sit down: "Oh, I'm so troublesome for you, our little pupil is not sensible, and I didn't thank you well when I came back. Recently, the house is in chaos..."

"It's okay, uncle," Bian Cheng comforted Tong Shining, but looked at Tong Tong: "I've known Xiao Tong for a long time, so it's not about helping, it's all easy."

"Ai ai." Tong Shining replied, his heart was fluctuating during the operation, and he didn't know what to say except thank you.

"Let's eat first, it will get cold later." Tong Tong opened the soy milk and handed it over.

Biancheng changed seats and sat next to Tong Tong: "How did you sleep last night?"

"It's okay." Tong Tong said vaguely while eating.

"That's good." Bian Cheng said.

After a while, he said, "I have hired two very professional nurses who will take turns taking care of my aunt 24 hours a day after the operation, so that you and your uncle can relax, at least you don't have to stay in the ward at night."

Before Tong Tong could speak, Tong Shining quickly waved his hands: "No need, no need, what kind of nurse are you looking for, Tong Tong and I are busy enough, don't we still have a nurse."

"The nurse's station is in charge of the patients on the first floor, and sometimes they can't take care of them. Uncle, there are many things we don't know about taking care of surgical patients. With a professional nurse, you and Xiaotong can rest assured, right? Auntie can also come sooner." Recovery." Bian Cheng patiently explained.

"Yes, yes." Tong Shining was quickly persuaded: "It's still you who are thoughtful. I took care of her when she was sick before, but I really didn't have an operation. You remind me that I can still make ends meet, little one." How can Tong take care of others, don't make any noise."

"Why don't I know how to take care of people..." Tong Tong was annoyed when he heard this, Tong Shining likes to be a human being and demote him to nothing.

Bian Cheng held him down and said softly: "Don't quarrel, just listen to it."

Tong Tong was suffocated, forgetting what to do, from the time he came back to now, if he and Tong Shining wanted to quarrel, they would quarrel almost every minute.

"Accompany me out for a cigarette?" Bian Cheng gestured with his eyes.

"En." Tong Tong greeted Tong Shining, and the two walked to the other end of the corridor at the door.

There was a door at the end of the corridor, which opened to a small balcony with iron railings. When the two walked out, Tong Tong was surprised to find that the snow had stopped.

The sky was not clear, and the cloud cover was still thick and leaden gray, but the snow did not fall anymore, so I asked casually, "How many days has it been snowing?"

"Seven or eight days." Biancheng snapped on the lighter, and the red core of the cigarette butt flickered.

In my memory, Yijiang has never had such a continuous snowfall. Although the winter here is very freezing and it often snows, it does not fall endlessly. It is gloomy, humid and cold, which is the normal state of winter here.

There was no wind, and the air seemed to be stagnant. Biancheng glanced at the sky and said, "It's probably still snowing, and it's not over yet."

The open space inside the hospital downstairs has been cleared, and there is no snow, but the snow piled up on both sides of the road is high. The hospital is only busy in the outpatient and emergency departments in the early morning, and the inside of the inpatient department is still clean.

"Has your dad been taking care of you in the hospital recently?" Bian Cheng asked.

"Yes." Tong Tong's elbows fell on the railing, and she leaned down slightly: "My mother passed out at home, and when she woke up, she called him for help, and then...that's it."

A puff of white smoke was sprayed into the air, and it dissipated quickly. Biancheng leaned against the railing: "That's good, young couples are here to keep company."

Tong Tong frowned: "You think so too?"

Bian Cheng paused and asked him, "No, what do you want?"

Tong Tong said honestly: "I don't know, but I always feel that the two have been hurting each other for the first half of their lives. No, it's my father who has been hurting my mother. When they get old, they actually reconcile as if nothing happened? It's not fair. The person who has abused does not deserve to be forgiven, he has not been punished, he should be prepared to die alone when he treats my mother and family like that."

Bian Cheng looked at Tong Tong with surprise and comfort: "Little Tong, you are the only one who doesn't forgive, your mother should have forgiven."

Tong Tong was silent, Yu Xing was soft-hearted, she was right to Tong Shining and Ren Jikai, and she was also to Tong Tong, but not to herself.

Bian Cheng added: "Even if you don't want to, your mother has already made a decision, and you must respect her decision."

"I know, if it wasn't for this, I would be so calm." Tong Tong was a little annoyed.

"You look calm, like a puffer fish." Bian Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"Hey!" Tong Tong couldn't help it: "How do you describe it?"

"I'm so angry."

After a few jokes, Tong Tong found that she felt a little more relaxed, not only facing her family, but also facing the border town. A little bit.

But he still sighed: "It's really unfair, it's true for my mother, it's true for my father, it's just different unfairness."

Biancheng smoked a cigarette to the end and extinguished it on the iron railing, eyes downcast: "There is no fairness in feelings."

Tong Tong was startled, he raised his head to look at the border town, but the sight of the border town drifted to the sky, looking at the desolate and desolate city in winter, "I'm sorry", Tong Tong repeated these three words in his heart, and he was about to rush to the city. On the edge of his mouth, Bian Cheng suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned to look at him, and smiled: "Go back, your ears are red from the cold."

Tong Tong rubbed her ears, feeling a slight pain, and the three words fell down her throat again.

Wrapped in a down jacket, Tong Shining sat motionless on the seat closest to the door of the operating room. The time passed extremely long. It felt like more than half a century had passed. Looking at the clock on the wall, only two hours had passed.

Suddenly the door of the operating room opened, and a nurse came out with a bloody tray and shouted, "Where are Yu Xing's family members?"

Tong Shining and Tong Tong got up instantly: "Here."

The nurse came over and stretched out the tray in front of the two of them: "This is the tumor lesion that was removed during the patient's operation. If you see it, you can confirm and sign here, and then send it for biopsy."

Tong Shining's whole body was trembling, he asked with trembling lips: "Is this...good or not?"

The nurse's face and voice were emotionless: "Now the tumor is only removed, and the nature can only be determined after a biopsy."

Tong Tong took the pen and signed, then supported Tong Shining's shoulder and said to the nurse, "Okay, no problem, let's go for a biopsy."

He was very calm, and said to Tong Shining: "I think the stripped things are more regular, which is a good thing."

Tong Shining nodded blankly.

Bian Cheng took out a pack of wet tissues from his pocket, and handed them to Tong Tong and Tong Shining: "I also checked, the edges are smooth, not vicious."

Only then did Tong Shining relax a little. .

The light in the operating room finally went out, and Yu Xing, who was covered in tubes, was pushed out. Director Ye took off his mask, smiled at them and said, "The operation went well, please rest assured."
