Still tide

With Grandma Miao's current physical condition, I told her that she might not remember after sleeping, and she was always awake and confused every day.

Before she fell asleep, she held Miao Jiayan's hand, and when she was not very asleep, she would hold it and rub it in her hand. She didn't know if she was simply getting close to him or comforting him silently.

Jiang Xun and Chen Chao sat on the chair in the elevator and talked. Grandma was asleep in the ward, so it was inconvenient to talk.

"When are you leaving, Chao?"

Chen Chao said: "I don't know yet, I should stay for a while."

"Why do you have time?" Jiang Xun leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Chen Chao, and asked, "You are so busy every day."

"I've caught up with two plans, and I've been changing them all the time," Chen Chao said with a smile, "I'm almost getting used to it."

"What? Are they that serious?" Jiang Xun said with a sneer, "I thought they were informal."

Chen Chao shrugged and said, "It's the same everywhere."

"Is it over now?" Jiang Xun asked again.

"It's construction time, I have nothing to do." Chen Chao put his elbows on the back of the chair on the other side, and when he spoke, he looked very mature and stable, revealing the reliability of an adult.

Jiang Xun looked at him, shook his head and smiled after a while and said, "My tide is still different."

Under Jiang Li's strict requirements since he was a child, Chen Chao seemed to be more stable than other boys, and he was never frizzy.He has always given people the impression that he is very calm, and he always appears to be more reliable than others among his peers.

After going abroad for more than two years, it was more than a year ago that Chen Chao came back last time. Jiang Xun obviously felt that he was different when he came back this time.His temperament is a little more serious than before, and he doesn't look like a student anymore.

"It looks like a designer," Jiang Xun said with satisfaction, "It's time to start looking."

His words made Chen Chao laugh, saying: "I was still a designer, but now I am a painter."

"Don't you have to have this time?" Jiang Xun has always been very proud of this brother, and he can brag when he goes out to drink with people, "If you want to be a painter, others will still do it."

"It's almost the same." Chen Chao said.

Chen Chao must be one of the best group of international students in the school, and his work is not difficult at all.Some students may have to use a three-year work visa to find a job for several months and half a year. If Chen Chao wants to sign, he has already signed it.

However, despite this, if he comes back now and goes to the design institutes of those star firms, he will still be a low-level painter after entering.Like countless foreign students of architecture, he is no different from other foreign students except that he has won awards and has experience.The most indispensable among those few companies are international students. If you have won an award and worked as a super executive, you will become the person in charge without letting him in, and you will start as a painter.

No one is special, they are ordinary people.

This floor is full of cerebrovascular patients, and there are not many patients in the corridors. Unlike other floors, you may often see patients walking in the corridors in hospital gowns.Generally, people in this building have reached the point of being hospitalized, and there are very few people who can still come out for a walk.

An old man came from the corridor on the other side. He pushed the mobile bracket and walked slowly, with an injection on the back of his hand.

Next to him was a little grandson who looked to be in his early ten years old and chubby.

The uncle was only wearing a hospital gown, and with every step he took, Chen Chao turned around and closed the open window.

"How long will it take, brother?" Jiang Xun held a bottle of mineral water in his hand and squeezed the bottle creakingly.

"Half a year." Chen Chao said.

"I mean come back completely." Jiang Xun emphasized again.

Chen Chao watched the grandfather and grandson walking slowly, without saying a word.

Jiang Xun has been in this business for so many years, he has already become a genius, and he can see everything clearly at a glance.

He touched Chen Chao with his arm, and Chen Chao turned to look at him: "Huh?"

"Are you angry with Miao'er?" Jiang Xun asked with a smile.

"No." Chen Chao replied without hesitation.

"You are still angry, or you are not like this." Jiang Xun knows these two people so well, he knows which side, "Although I don't know why, but there must be something wrong with you."

"Really not," Chen Chao was helpless, "Not at all."

"I don't care about your affairs," Jiang Xun received a message on his mobile phone. He looked down and said, "I'm so devastated every day that I don't have time to care about you."

"Don't worry about it, brother," Chen Chao laughed, "It's really fine."

It seems that when people grow up, it will become difficult. There is not so much innocence in the adult world, and there is a lot more pain, helplessness and parting.

Miao Jiayan is not afraid of many things, and there are very few things that can really touch the line of fear in his heart.

Grandma's illness is the biggest one.

From the very beginning when grandma got sick, he hoped that there would be no bleeding points in her blood vessels. Later, when grandma became a little more stable, he hoped that she would recover quickly and recover as before. Just don't continue to develop and deteriorate.

Miao Jiayan's small sky is like a patchwork of several pieces of blue and translucent cloth. There are only a few pieces of cloth in such a small area. If grandma is gone, there will be a hole in Miao Jiayan's sky from now on.

The day Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen came to see Grandma Miao, the two grandmas held hands and wiped away their tears.

They had always wanted to come, but Miao Jiayan didn't let her go. Grandma's condition was not good enough to make them feel sad.Grandma Chen didn't dare to come, she was afraid that she couldn't help but cry and make others feel uncomfortable. She was already depressing enough in the hospital, and it was really annoying for her to come and cry as an old lady.

Chen Chao went back to pick them up in the morning. Yesterday, Grandma Chen called and said she wanted to take a look. Grandma Miao was in good condition for the past two days, so she asked them to come and take a look, so as not to worry all the time.

This is the first time Grandma Miao has cried in so many days, and shed tears for the first time since the onset of the disease.

"What is this?" Chen Chao said to the two of them, "Don't cry."

Grandma Miao shed a few tears and then stopped. She took out two pieces of paper with her left hand and stuffed them into Grandma Chen's hand, saying, "Don't...don't!"

Grandma Chen wiped her tears on her eyes with a piece of paper, and she couldn't speak very fluently while choking up her sobs.

"It's much better..." Grandma Miao raised her dull right arm to show her.

Grandma Chen grabbed her stiff hand again, and rubbed her fingers: "Get well soon, so you can go home and steam steamed buns with me."

Grandma Miao nodded with a smile.

Among these people, only Grandma Chen knew that Grandma Miao had already prepared the clothes, and knew that she had already prepared for the worst, so she didn't think she could get better.

Grandma Chen looked at her old partner for most of her life. They have been neighbors since they were both young daughters-in-law when they were young, and now they are all old.The more Grandma Chen thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. Miao Jiayan came to hug her, patted her on the back, and coaxed her, "Grandma is much better now."

Grandma Chen nodded repeatedly, fearing that crying would make Miao Jiayan sad, she patted his hand and said, "Your grandma will definitely be fine...I think of something else."

"Then you want to be happy, Grandma." Miao Jiayan looked towards Chen Chao and asked with a smile, "Aren't you happy that brother Chao is back? Your grandson is back."

"Happy," Grandma Chen also looked at Chen Chao, and deliberately didn't start, "not that happy, he is disobedient."

Miao Jiayan knew that Grandma Chen was talking about Chen Chao and him, so she could only smile flatteringly.

Chen Chao laughed on the other side and said, "Don't you still say you miss me in the morning?"

Grandma Chen snorted and said, "That's all."

Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen didn't go back that day, so they lived in the city, at Chen Guangda's place.Chen Chao had to stay with her for one night, Miao Jiayan couldn't leave the hospital, so Chen Chao went back by himself.

Before going to bed, Grandma Miao still took Miao Jiayan's hand and pinched Miao Jiayan's fingers one by one.

When I woke up at night, I looked around the room, but I didn't see it after searching for a long time.Miao Jiayan went to pour water for her and came back, and asked softly, "What are you looking for?"

Grandma Miao looked in the direction of the accompanying bed, unable to speak at night, sobbing and beckoning.

"Brother Chao?" Miao Jiayan asked with a smile, "Do you still remember, grandma?"

Grandma Miao pushed the cup away after drinking the water, and turned her chin sideways.

"Brother Chao is home, have you forgotten?"

Miao Jiayan straightened her collar, "Grandma Chen came to see you today, remember? She and Grandpa Chen didn't go back tonight, they were at Uncle Chen's."

Grandma Miao seemed to remember, nodded, and lay down again.

"Did I turn off the light?" Miao Jiayan asked.

Grandma Miao responded.

Miao Jiayan then turned off the lights again, and the ward returned to a peaceful and dark state.

This was the first few days since Chen Chao came back, and it was the first time that the two of them did not squeeze together on this small escort bed.In the previous few nights, they both slept here crowded together, and Miao Jiayan slept outside because she had to get up at night to take care of her grandma, but she would not fall off, and Chen Chao would hug him tightly.

They have always had a tacit understanding, even if they don't speak, they can understand what each other means, and their actions are always natural and familiar.

I don't know if it was Miao Jiayan's illusion, but this time when Chen Chao came back, he seemed to be silent a lot.

At the beginning, Miao Jiayan's thoughts were all on her grandma's illness, she was very flustered and didn't notice anything.In the past two days, grandma had become more and more stable, and he finally felt that something was wrong between them.

It can't be said that it is wrong, they are still close, and Chen Chao is very calm about being close to him.Now no one needs to avoid it, most of their relationship is already known, as for Miao Jiayan's father and aunts, it doesn't matter if they know it or not.

Chen Chao stayed with him during the day and hugged him at night.

Miao Jiayan didn't feel too sleepy after waking up once, and he repeatedly thought about Chen Chao in the past few days in the ward with the lights off.Something seemed wrong, and nothing seemed wrong.

In a trance, Miao Jiayan suddenly opened her eyes, and a certain nerve in her brain jumped——

When Chen Chao came back this time, he didn't even call him "wife".
