between heartstrings

When Chu Jiahe knocked on the door and came in, I don't know if it was an illusion - Wei Qiao's face was filled with joy, while Wei Sizhe stuffed a grape into his mouth leisurely, with a calm expression.

The scene in front of him had an indescribable sense of disobedience, but Chu Jiahe didn't care about it for the time being, he opened his pocket watch, and at 45:[-], the cafeteria was almost out of food.

Looking past Wei Sizhe, Chu Jiahe hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, and shook the bed board: "Mr., why didn't you go to eat?"

Wei Qiao asked him, "How's the matter going?"

Helping Wei Qiao get off the bed, Chu Jiahe bent down and put the cloth shoes at Wei Qiao's feet: "Aunt Wang's mood is stable now, but if her daughter keeps refusing to see her, this situation may happen many times."

After putting on his shoes, Wei Qiao asked again, "Is she just a daughter?"

Dr. Fang was on night shift tonight, and he happened to listen to it when he came in for rounds. Aunt Wang's incident caused a commotion in the courtyard. He had just returned from the outside, and was called to do a heart examination for the old man.Dr. Fang continued Wei Qiao's words: "There are two more sons. The eldest son is working abroad and hasn't returned to Beichen for five years. The second son is heavily in debt. Every time he comes to the nursing home, he just asks for money. The daughter has no worries about food and clothing and looks outstanding. , is a national dancer, a national dancer."

"Then why did she blame her daughter?" Wei Qiao was puzzled when he heard about it, "Shouldn't she hold her as a treasure in her palm because she is so outstanding?"

Dr. Fang turned over the pages of the ward round record book, wrote down the pen, and replied: "My daughter is 32 this year. Every time I come to visit, Aunt Wang will introduce someone to her, not only urging marriage, but also occasionally saying a few words about giving birth thing."

"Her daughter is afraid of marriage and childbearing, so she can't accept her mother's arrangement. Over time, she has resistance to the nursing home, and she comes less often. Aunt Wang feels that she is not even her daughter anymore, and she is mentally frustrated." Dr. Fang said, "But it can still be vented. Although the movement is not small, it is good for her body. Otherwise, it is easier to get sick if you hold back your emotions."

After finishing speaking, Dr. Fang was about to test Wei Qiao's postprandial blood sugar, when Chu Jiahe interrupted, "Take another test later, the old man hasn't had dinner yet."

Dr. Fang pointed to the TV with a pen, and said to Wei Qiao, "Don't you watch the news broadcast every day? It's about to start, so you have to catch up."

At around [-]:[-], the evening news was broadcast on the TV screen, and Wei Qiao lay back on the bed full of food, holding a can of walnut kernels as a snack.Wei Sizhe was urged to go home by Wei Qiao, and Chu Jiahe sent him out. When the two left the main building, Chu Jiahe finally got some free time, and punched his sore shoulder and neck twice with his right fist.

Wei Sizhe asked with concern: "Are you tired?"

"Tired." Chu Jiahe sighed, "Just ask you to help me with one thing, and I can't do it well. Your father usually goes to bed at eight o'clock, and eating after seven o'clock will affect sleep."

Wei Sizhe had a correct attitude: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiahe smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't criticize you."

He embraced Chu Jiahe naturally, pinched his shoulder with his left hand, Wei Sizhe massaged him regularly, and the two of them stepped onto the gravel road leading to the parking lot together.

The temperature at night is cool and the moon is just right.Taking advantage of the distance, Wei Sizhe walked slowly, and started the topic in a timely manner: "Many women around me are career-oriented strong women, unmarried, with an annual salary of one million, and the garage can be handled by myself."

Chu Jiahe admired him from the bottom of his heart, and nodded while listening.

"However, most of the remarks about them are not praise and praise, but speculation about the reason why they are not married."

"32 years old, for a man, there doesn't seem to be much sense of crisis, but for a woman, the outside world is always too harsh." Wei Sizhe turned to look at Chu Jiahe, and asked, "Your What's your idea?"

"If you have an older sister or younger sister who is 32 years old, would you worry about them?"

Chu Jiahe approached Wei Sizhe with a warm smile and a calm voice: "Let me tell you about a female classmate I had a good relationship with in college."

"Okay." Wei Sizhe said, "I seldom hear you mention others."

"Because she left an impression on me that she is very confident, and she lives a very free life, that kind of..." Chu Jiahe thought about the words, "A freedom that makes people enviable."

"She is the same age as me, and she is still single. She lives in a small house of [-] square meters. She has to clean every day to keep the house clean. The wall paintings, ornaments, and decorations are very beautifully arranged."

"She often posts her daily life on Weibo. You can see that her living room is covered with photos of various flowers and clouds, which were taken by herself. There is a hand-painted form on the bedroom wall, which is full of things to do today. , as big as 'writing a company contract', as small as 'going to the supermarket to buy discounted eggs', she arranges her life in an orderly manner, and does not waste every minute."

Chu Jiahe said with a smile: "In fact, she is just an ordinary girl, there is nothing unique about her, but the things she shared with the outside world can make people who see them feel that life can be very beautiful. When I am frustrated, I I was also encouraged by her, so even though we haven't been in touch for a few years, I still remember her."

Chu Jiahe asked Wei Sizhe: "Tell me, how can a pure and kind person like her have the heart to demand and force her to 'should' walk the 'correct' path?"

"In the minds of some elders, the concept is fixed. For men, they may stand at thirty, and for women, they probably get married and have children." Chu Jiahe said, "Grandma once told me that becoming a mother is the most courageous thing. At the same time, she also believes that choosing to live alone, facing all difficulties alone, and bearing all joys, sorrows and joys alone also requires courage."

"If I have an older sister or a younger sister, I think the only thing I can do is support her choice."

Stepping into the parking lot and walking to the side of the Porsche, Chu Jiahe happened to finish what he wanted to say, Wei Sizhe opened the door, but did not sit in, with his left arm resting on the edge of the door, standing in a slightly lazy posture, staring at With Chu Jiahe.

Chu Jiahe showed him openly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If my mother was still there two years ago." Wei Sizhe turned the car key and said, "She would definitely like you very much."

"Such a high evaluation." Chu Jiahe smiled, "Isn't it comforting me?"

Wei Sizhe deliberately played tricks: "Want to know what my dad and I talked about when we were waiting for you to come back?"

The magnanimous posture suddenly restrained, remembering the joyful expression on Wei Qiao's face, Chu Jiahe urged: "Tell me quickly."

Wei Sizhe smiled without saying a word, which made Chu Jiahe more nervous. He was stared into confusion, but he fought back forcefully: "Mr. Goodbye."

"Don't." Wei Sizhe blurted out, "That's too tortured, seeing each other every three days is already hard enough."

Chu Jiahe held back his smile and put on a victorious expression.Wei Sizhe raised his hand to hook his chin, and said softly: "My dad asked me if you listen to me very much."

Chu Jiahe asked anxiously, "How did you answer?"

Wei Sizhe shrugged his shoulders: "I told my dad, 'It's true that I listen to him very much'."

Chu Jiahe looked at Wei Sizhe seriously. No matter how Wei Qiao understood this sentence, Wei Sizhe had made his father clear and expressed his attitude.

"However, it's not just this sentence that made my dad so happy." Wei Sizhe said, "We actually talked a lot, and we talked for a long time."

"The last thing I confessed to him was, 'If Chu Jiahe is willing to choose me in the future, it will give me a great sense of accomplishment'."
