White dove

Although the border town has found a professional nurse, Tong Tong and Tong Shining are still sleeping in the ward in shifts these days. Can feel better.

Tong Shining thinks so, anyway, he won't be able to fall asleep when he goes back to the hotel, so it's better to be at ease in the ward.

Three meals a day were brought over. Biancheng said that the hospital’s food was not nutritious and tasted bad, so he specially ordered meals from another place, and they were delivered on time. Yu Xing still couldn’t eat, and was hanging by various nutrient solutions. , The meals are all cooked for Tong Tong and Tong Shining.

Even so, the patients on the bed and the family members outside the bed were all thinner. Tong Tong was already exhausted and haggard when she came home, but she has been spinning continuously for the past few days, and she is so thin that a gust of wind can blow her down.

Few people came from the border town after the operation, but everything that needed to be arranged was organized in an orderly manner. The doctor said that Yu Xing’s physical condition was a bit poor. He could take a kind of albumin as a nutritional supplement, and he would recover faster, but the hospital did not have it for the time being, and the supply of this medicine was scarce. , It would be best if the family members have a channel to find it. Biancheng asked Tong Tong about the situation on WeChat, and Tong Tong raised his mouth unintentionally. Unexpectedly, someone delivered the medicine that afternoon. Even the doctor was surprised, and the hospital was very difficult to get it. The medicine that arrived, after finishing three tubes of albumin, Yu Xing did seem to be much more energetic.

Three days later, the urgent biopsy report came out, and the tumor was benign. Tong Tong ran into the ward from Director Ye's office and told Yu Xing and Tong Shining the news. Tong Shining was relieved, and Yu Xing looked very calm. Tong Tong ran over and kissed Yu Xing on the forehead. For so many days, from the time Xishuangbanna received Tong Shining's call until now, he was really relieved, and the corners of his mouth were always bent upwards: "Mom, the doctor said that in half a month You can leave the hospital."

Yu Xing nodded, she was still very weak, but she smiled and said: "Mom is fine, Xiaotong, you are too thin, you need to eat more."

"Yeah." Tong Tong nodded vigorously: "Finally, I can let go and eat."

Because of the analgesic, Yu Xing slept for most of the day, and when Yu Xing fell asleep, Tong Tong went to the corridor with her mobile phone and called Border Town.

"Xiao Tong." Bian Cheng called his name after answering the phone.

"The report came out, it's all right, it's benign." Tong Tong said very simply, but her voice was so happy that even the border town could hear it.

"That's good." Biancheng's voice was also happy: "That's great, you are finally relieved."

"Well, that..." Tong Tong wanted to say when you are free, I will treat you to dinner, but heard a girl's voice at the other end saying: "Mr. Bian, please, Mr. Chen's meeting just ended, you go We have all the secondary information ready."

The border town was busy, Tong Tong hurriedly said: "You go ahead, I didn't hang up beforehand."

"Okay." Biancheng spoke faster: "You also pay attention to rest, I will find you later."

It was already night when Biancheng came to the hospital, and Yu Xing was already asleep. In the ward, Tong Tong and Tong Shining moved lightly. Tong Tong wanted Tong Shining to go back to the hotel to sleep, but Tong Shining refused. Tong Tong lowered his voice and was getting angry. On the edge of the ward, when Biancheng pushed open the door of the ward, what he saw was another pair of father and son who were at war.

Tong Tong was stunned for a moment, and immediately put back his feeling of embarrassment. Tong Shining immediately became enthusiastic when he saw Biancheng: "Little Bian, it's unfortunate that you came, Xiaotong's mother just fell asleep."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look at Auntie and don't disturb her rest." Bian Cheng waved his hands again and again, and he also persuaded Tong Shining: "Uncle, you should go back and rest, there are nurses and nurses here, it's all right."

Tong Shining is very stubborn: "There is enough sleep in the ward. I am mainly afraid that her mother will wake up in pain in the night. If there is no one around, it will be too miserable."

Tong Tong said to Bian Cheng: "Don't persuade me, my dad won't listen, the older you get, the more stubborn you become."

After hearing this, Tong Shining didn't care at all, and waved Tong Tong away: "Go back and rest, look at how strong Ren Xiaobian's body is, you are so thin as a bone, don't waste it here."

Tongtong sighed, and pulled Biancheng out: "Let's go, let him be clean too."

There was a patient in the elevator pushing a wheelchair in and out, Tong Tong and Bian Cheng went down the stairs, "Have you eaten tonight?" Bian Cheng asked.

"Eat, it's the big meal you brought over." Tong Tong smiled, slowed down, turned his head towards the border city and said, "I've been bothering you."

The footsteps going down the stairs around him stopped, Tong Tong was taken aback, Biancheng's deep and dry voice was very clear in the corridor, he said: "Little Tong, I said a long time ago, don't say thank you to me, don't be afraid to trouble me , before, and now.”

The light in the corridor was very dim. Tong Tong stood on the next two steps and looked up at the border city. The light in his amber-colored, deep-set eyes was so gentle, just like in memory. Tong Tong's voice suddenly became very dry, and he was short Say, "Okay, I remember."

Biancheng walked down and brushed Tongtong's shoulder: "I'm a little hungry, I'm too busy today to eat, can you accompany me?"

"Okay." Tong Tong followed him downstairs, walked to the parking lot, opened the door, and got in the car.

The snow never fell again, and the road surface was muddy from the half-melted snow, and the whole city looked desolate and dilapidated.

"Did you not tell other friends here when you came back this trip?" Bian Cheng asked with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the window.

"Well, Leng Chao, Du Li, and some former classmates didn't talk about it." Tong Tong said: "They won't be able to help you if you talk about it, so don't worry about it, and I can't take care of it these days."

"Fortunately, I know, little Tong. If I didn't see your Weibo, I wonder if your mother is sick and you are coming back. Wouldn't we be able to see each other?" Tong Tong didn't expect Biancheng to ask like that.

He didn't know how to answer. Could it be that, as Bian Cheng said, this meeting was just an accident for Tong Tong?

"In your heart, do you intend that we will never meet again?" Bian Cheng asked again.

Tongtong couldn't hide, he looked at Biancheng, staring into the other's face: "I don't know, Biancheng."

Biancheng didn't look at him, but stared at the road ahead. It was still early at night, but there were no cars on the road and it was very empty. Tongtong heard him sigh softly: "What am I going to do with you?"

The red light at the intersection came on, Biancheng stepped on the brakes, turned to look at Tongtong, his face was whiter than snow, but his eyes were red. She kneaded: "What did you do? You made yourself so thin."

Tong Tong couldn't speak, countless words were jumping and writhing in his chest, scrambling to come out, but his throat was closed and dumb, he couldn't speak a word, he stared at the border city, his eyes were red , finally opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it had been burned, and he said, "I'm sorry, Border Town."

Biancheng stopped his hand behind Tongtong's neck, and after a while gently pulled it out. The green light ahead changed, Biancheng stepped on the accelerator, and returned his hands to the steering wheel.

His Adam's apple rolled, as if he wanted to say something, but was lost in silence after all.

Tong Tong also turned his eyes away and looked out of the car window. He still said, I'm sorry, I'm so late, and I can't do anything, but he wants to say it, to the border town five years ago, and to the border town now.

Biancheng said: "Don't want this, take it back."

Tong Tong was stunned, and Bian Cheng said again: "Thank you, it's troublesome, I'm sorry, I don't want any of these."

Tong Tong didn't speak, Biancheng had already driven to the place, parked the car on the side of the road, and said, "Don't talk about this, eat with me."

This is a very simple mutton soup restaurant, lift the curtain and go in, the boss comes out from the inside, a short and thin man, seeing Bian Cheng's eyebrows and eyes trembling: "Boss Bian, come here in such a heavy snow day."

Listening to his accent, Tong Tong felt like a Northwesterner.

Bian Cheng sat down at the small square table next to the stove, and said casually, "mutton tastes better when it's snowing, let's keep it the same way, two bowls of mutton soup, one serving of meat."

"Okay, I'll be here soon." The little boss turned to the back kitchen to work again.

Tong Tong looked at this store. When he came back this time, Biancheng took him to places he had never been to. There were inconspicuous small shops hiding delicacies in the Jianghu. , When we are together, I never worry about it, just keep my eyes closed and follow along.

Biancheng said: "The boss is from Ningxia. The mutton here is authentic Tan sheep. There are not many of them. If they are sold out every day, we have to make reservations one day in advance. The weather is bad these days, so we come here so temporarily. eat."

Tanyang Tongtong has heard of it, but he has never eaten it. He stayed in Ningxia for a few days in the previous section. He was so busy that he didn't bother to find delicious food. He just talked about this mutton in his heart for a few days. , I didn’t expect to eat it when I returned to my hometown. He said: “I talked about it in Ningxia two months ago, but I didn’t eat it, but I didn’t expect to eat it when I went home.”

Bian Cheng smiled: "It's a coincidence, it's also a wish."

The mutton soup and hand meat were served steaming hot, and Biancheng added another burrito. The Tan mutton was tender and refreshing, and there was no need to cook it with heavy ingredients. It can be boiled directly to preserve its deliciousness to the greatest extent. Tong Tong After taking a sip of mutton soup and another bite of mutton, only the word "delicious" remains in my mind.

He has been too tense these days, until now, when the hot soup and red meat entered his stomach, the suppressed appetite was completely released, and the two of them met each other in the narrow shop to eat meat, without even thinking about talking.

There was a fireplace with a chimney burning in the middle of the store, and Tongtong was sweating on his forehead. He took off his coat and ate heartily.

On the contrary, he said that the hungry Biancheng didn't have much to eat. He looked at the mutton in front of him, and turned his head and said, "Old Hu, is there any more mutton? Add another."

Holding the bones in one hand, Tong Tong waved her hands repeatedly with puffed cheeks: "No, no, I'm full. It's just right to finish eating."

He looked blankly at the border town: "You haven't eaten much, aren't you hungry early in the morning?"

Biancheng lit a cigarette: "I'm full. I often come to this store. In fact, their store opened very early, many years ago, but I didn't know about it at that time. When I found out later, I thought about it. Come early, I can bring you to eat, you must like it."

Tong Tong's chewing speed slowed down, and Bian Cheng noticed it: "What are you talking about, it's not too late to bring you to eat now, how about it, is it okay?"

Tong Tong nodded again and again: "It's super delicious." Biancheng took out a stack of tissues and handed them over. Tong Tong carefully wiped off his fingers one by one, and cleaned the greasy corners of his mouth and chin, and burped unconsciously. , Your face is already red before you speak.

"I hope these few days can make you fatter." Bian Cheng said with a smile.

Tong Tong pressed her heart, the hiccup couldn't stop once it came up, it was really embarrassing.

"Why don't you go for a walk? It's rare that it hasn't snowed, and you've been in the hospital since you came back. You haven't had a good time in your hometown yet, just to digest your food." Bian Cheng suggested.

"Okay-uh-yes." Tong Tong was at a loss for words, and her face was flushed with laughter.

Drilling out of the alley of the mutton restaurant, the riverside is less than 200 meters ahead. Tongtong remembers that this area is always very lively at night, and all kinds of snack stalls and square dances have disappeared on this winter night after the snow. The remaining dim street lamps illuminated clusters of snow and the dim river surface.
