Hollow wind
Chapter 27 (1)
rainy night◇
House seemingly endless rain.
Hearing Fang Yunwan's determination, Jiang Xiu was a little irritable. He glanced at the time and added, "This blueprint is not in a hurry, so take your time. If you are almost too busy today, go back and rest first." , and waved to Fang Yunwan, signaling him to leave on his own.
It was indeed not as urgent as yesterday. Fang Yunwan originally planned to go downstairs to finish today's work and leave.Fang Yunwan watched as Jiang Xiu casually picked up a folder on the table and spread it out. He lowered his head and made notes seriously, showing no intention of going to rest at all.
In fact, Jiang Xiu really didn't plan to set aside time for himself to rest tonight. Before Fang Yunwan even had time to persuade him to go home and rest, he was bombarded with several phone calls, urging him to go to a meeting.Jiang Xiu had just recovered from a serious illness. After two days in a row, he really couldn't hold it any longer. He was too anxious when he got up.
It was too late when Fang Yunwan realized something was wrong. He quickly walked around to Jiang Xiu, but he didn't have time to support him, so he could only watch him fall back into the chair again.Jiang Xiu's face was pale, and the blood on his lips faded completely, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant.
"Where are you uncomfortable?"
Jiang Xiu was breathing heavily, and after a while he gathered some strength, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm a little hypoglycemic. There's sugar on the table, help me get one."
Hearing this, Fang Yunwan hurriedly looked through his desk.After removing a stack of documents, I found that a whole piece of millet porridge was placed in a corner of the desk, and the staples that had been nailed to the seal on the takeaway bag had not been removed.
No wonder you get hypoglycemia.
Fang Yunwan remembered that Jiang Xiu had this problem before.
Unlike Fang Yunwan, Jiang Xiu didn't seem to be very interested in food. He had three meals a day, except breakfast.
Because Fang Yunwan had to stare at him to finish eating before letting him go out, he could be guaranteed that he could often save the other two meals when he was busy.
Sometimes he didn't eat two meals in a row, and when he saw Fang Yunwan at night, Jiang Xiu was in a daze.
After he had a few bouts of hypoglycemia in front of Fang Yunwan, Fang Yunwan stuffed some chocolates, candies, biscuits and other small things in his office, in the locker on the car, and in the pocket of his coat from time to time. snack.
Knowing that it might not be effective to remind Jiang Xiu to eat, Fang Yunwan sent Jiang Xiu messages from time to time to remind him to remember to eat some snacks.Peeling a piece of candy and holding it does not delay the matter, Jiang Xiu is also cooperative.
Once, when Fang Yunwan reminded Jiang Xiu to eat snacks, Jiang Xiu was in a meeting, and he only had a cup of tea at hand, and there was no food that could be called a snack. Fang Yunwan bought Japanese-style caramel round cakes.Later Fang Yunwan heard from Xu Zhang that this was not the most outrageous thing, it was even more outrageous.
After that time, every conference room in the Songwen Building will use small transparent plates to display small snacks such as candy and biscuits.
This time Fang Yunwan joined Songwen Group, and found that they still keep this habit. Small plates with snacks are placed in large and small meeting rooms, and there are even small biscuits placed in several meeting rooms. The one I bought for Jiang Xiu.
Time has gone a long way, everything has changed, but it seems that nothing has changed too much.
Fang Yunwan was well acquainted with Jiang Xiu's habit of collecting things, so he easily found the small tin box he used to hold candies, grabbed two candies from inside, tore open the packaging bag, and fed them to Jiang Xiu's mouth.He stood aside with a serious expression, waiting for Jiang Xiu's face to calm down a little, and then he was relieved.
"How long has it been since you ate?"
Jiang Xiu closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, biting the candy in his mouth, the pure sweetness of glucose exploded in his mouth, suppressing the drowsiness and nausea.The tinnitus and dizziness gradually dissipated, and the numb fingers gradually gained strength. He could already hear Fang Yunwan's words clearly, but his chest was tight and short of breath, and he still seemed weak when he opened his mouth to respond: "There is food, but I can't eat much. "
Fang Yunwan brought the unopened takeaway to Jiang Xiu's eyes: "Is this called eating?"
Jiang Xiu discussed with him: "I didn't have time just now, I have to go to a meeting now, come back later for dinner, okay?"
"It's past eight o'clock, why do you still have a meeting? Is it about Zhaoyang Real Estate?"
Jiang Xiu muffled and coughed twice: "No, it's about the clothing sector. The person in charge of an Italian clothing brand will come to investigate tomorrow morning. If it goes well, we can win the franchise of this brand in Asia. When the time comes , there will be another card in the clothing section's hand."
"Do you have to go?"
"The other party's visit this time is of a high standard. Although I can't accompany you all the way, at least I have to show my face tomorrow morning."
Fang Yunwan rolled his eyes and complained in a low voice: "You are not afraid to scare away your collaborators by showing up like this."
The office was too quiet, even though Fang Yunwan's voice was very low, it fell into Jiang Xiu's ears without missing a word.He pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were like the surface of water under the afterglow of the setting sun, and his tone was as gentle as coaxing a child: "Just one more busy night, I will definitely be able to have dinner with you and An An next week."
"Who wants you to accompany me!" Fang Yunwan snorted softly, "I don't care about you anymore, I'm leaving."
Jiang Xiu looked at Fang Yunwan with a smile, like a puffer fish, and pushed the door away angrily.
Those deliberately created alienation and indifference are like the sour powder on the outermost layer of Skittle Candy, if you are not careful, that layer of powder will be covered and melted, and it will reveal flaws, allowing Jiang Xiu to discover the secrets hidden inside. The fruity fudge is just as soft and sweet as it was years ago.
Laughing and cursing are full of obsessive friendship.
Maybe even Fang Yunwan didn't realize that, in essence, he was the same Fang Yunwan five years ago.
When he packed his things and left Songwen Building, Fang Yunwan met Meng Chen in the elevator who was going downstairs to get takeaway.
After joining the company, Fang Yunwan was in the group, and Meng Chen was in Zhaoyang Real Estate. One started a brand across the industry, and the other stuck to his original intention and devoted himself to construction. There was basically no overlap in their work.The fate between people is sometimes so shallow that they have been in and out of the same building for several months before finally meeting each other.
I don't know if it was related to this accident, Meng Chen looked tired and haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, Fang Yunwan suspected that he could fall asleep standing in the elevator.But looking at the mirror in the elevator, Fang Yunwan found to his dismay that the tiredness in his brows and eyes was not much less than that of Meng Chen.
The youths who used to be high-spirited and vigorous together have now faded together to look like angry horses in fresh clothes.
At that time, Fang Yunwan was quite arrogant.With his arrogance, he has firmly ranked first in the professional rankings, and he can easily win awards in various competitions. Not only are the teachers in the college favoring him, but there is also a Jiangxiu who, along with Doraemon responded to his every request, but also devoted himself to it.
At that time, Fang Yunwan really seemed to own the whole world.
It is easy to get carried away when you are a teenager. At that age, it is easy to do annoying things.
For example, the eyes are higher than the top, supercilious, thinking that the works polished by many students are not worth mentioning.
Thinking of the smug Fang Yunwan, the current Fang Yunwan also felt disgusted.
But he remembered that he should have never provoked Meng Chen.At the same time, he clearly remembered that for a while when they were studying, the two of them walked past each other, but they refused to even say hello.
Why?He doesn't remember much.
But time has passed, and these are no longer important.
What happened five or six years ago was so far away that it seemed like a previous life. Looking at it now, the likes and dislikes of the student days are insignificant and childish.After greeting each other generously with Meng Chen, Fang Yunwan casually asked, "Do you still have to work late tonight?"
Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the elevator, so there was no need to shy away from speaking.
"I left it by myself. I will start a comprehensive investigation of the accident soon. Before that, I want to take a closer look at the drawings." Meng Chen hesitated a little, "The main designer of the Nanhu project is..."
"It's Teacher Bai." Fang Yunwan spoke for him.
Rumors of his extramarital affair with Bai Ming were well known in Yucheng University, and he knew Meng Chen's concerns.
"The engineering department said that there were problems with the drawings of the Nanhu project team from the very beginning, and thought it might be a mistake in the revision and review of the drawings. But I don't think Mr. Bai should have made such a mistake."
"I also trust Mr. Bai." Fang Yunwan added softly, "Do you remember what he said when we first practiced residential design?"
It was a sunny early summer afternoon, there were already sporadic cicadas singing outside the window, and the sunlight entered the room, falling half a meter away from the podium.Bai Ming wore a white shirt that day. He used to roll the sleeves of the shirt up to his forearm, leaving his wrists unobstructed, so it was more convenient for him to do anything.
Fang Yunwan remembered Bai Ming saying that, in comparison, residential design has relatively low requirements for the designer's personal style.
But it is not easy to do well. Everyone should pay more attention to comfort, convenience, safety, etc. This may be a house that people have spent their entire life savings on, so it must be done well.
Meng Chen nodded: "I remember, so I trust him. I have only been in the job for a few months, and the information I can get is limited, but I still want to see as much as I can. I know I can't do much, but at least in the event of an accident Before the cause is investigated, I can help Teacher Bai clarify a few words when others are talking nonsense."
Probably because he had personally experienced being alone and helpless, Fang Yunwan was moved by Meng Chen's willingness to clarify Bai Ming's thoughts, and blurted out: "I also have a copy of the original design drawings here. If you need it, we can find a copy of it." Time to see it together."
"The blueprint?" Meng Chen reacted for a few seconds, then understood, and asked hesitantly, "Did President Jiang give it to you?"
Those who knew the inside story of the year were always extremely sensitive about his relationship with Bai Ming and Jiang Xiu.Fang Yunwan didn't want to mention it, so he just nodded silently, but Meng Chen's eyes lit up: "Are you reconciled with Mr. Jiang?"
Fang Yunwan remained silent, looking at Meng Chen with calm eyes.
"Maybe, I mean maybe, what misunderstanding did you have back then?" Meng Chen felt a bit of coercion in Fang Yunwan's gaze, and he further explained, "I just think it's fate that you two met again. If there is any misunderstanding, just let it go, after all, you loved each other so much back then."
As a bystander of that incident back then, Meng Chen probably guessed that Jiang Xiu misunderstood Fang Yunwan's relationship with Bai Ming and broke up with him.
As everyone knows, the person who is filled with hatred and can't control himself is actually Fang Yunwan.
Could Fang Yunwan have misunderstood Jiang Xiu?The photos of Fang Yunwan and Bai Ming secretly taken were seen by Fang Yunwan in Jiang Xiu's study.
Now even Jiang Xiu himself admitted that he went crazy after drinking and posted that nonsense post on the forum of Yucheng University. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?
In the silence, the elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Fang Yunwan stepped out of the elevator car and told Meng Chen, "There is no misunderstanding. I ended up with him five years ago."
"Maybe!" Meng Chen and Fang Yunwan walked out and asked after him.
Fang Yunwan didn't want to say more on this topic, so he pointed in the direction of the takeaway cabinet: "Go and get the takeaway, it'll be cold in a while." After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly in the opposite direction of the takeaway cabinet.
He can ignore past resentment, he can regard meeting Jiang Xiu as an ordinary reunion, but it is impossible to have no heart, and it is even more impossible to continue the relationship.
As early as five years ago, everything was over, and they even had a new start - Jiang Xiu has Xu Luyao by his side, and he has made up his mind to take care of Da'an. Maybe this ending is not perfect, but It's a good ending for them.
At least, they are luckier than Bai Ming, they are still alive.
Probably Xu Yang and Zhou Sheng's reassurance had worked the day before, and there was no new activity on the account of Zhang Xiaosan's family, but the attention of netizens on this matter did not diminish because of this, and various speculations emerged endlessly.
On Friday morning, Zhaoyang Real Estate held a small press conference on the accident.Sure enough, at the press conference, he was asked about the delay in rescuing Zhang Xiaosan. Xu Yang thanked Zhang Xiaosan for his selfless assistance to the workers when the accident happened, and gave up the opportunity to receive treatment to other workers. He also expressed his regret. He also said that he had contacted Zhang Xiaosan's family and would properly handle Zhang Xiaosan's compensation.
In the afternoon of the same day, a public account of popular medical science issued an article, guessing that Zhang Xiaosan died of internal organ rupture caused by the impact in the accident, pointing out that in many accidents, the injured with such internal organ damage appear to be safe on the outside, and are often easy to be careless. Missed the rescue opportunity.
Following the link forwarded by the netizen, Fang Yunwan immediately clicked on the original text to read.
In addition to popularizing the reasons why Zhang Xiaosan was seriously injured but still able to move freely, the article also mentioned a similar case.
It was a car accident more than twenty years ago.When the car accident happened, there was a mother and son in the car. The son was bleeding profusely from the trauma, while the mother was conscious and did not appear to be seriously injured.Aizi was eager, and the mother insisted on letting her son get into the first ambulance first, but the seemingly safe man died of serious injuries on the way to the hospital by the second ambulance.
Coincidentally, the mother who died in the car accident was Song Jin, the first general manager of Songwen Group, and the child who was sent to the hospital by Song Jin insisted on going first has grown up now, and is now the vice president of Songwen Group Manager Jiang Xiu.
Whether it was the first meeting or the reunion, Jiang Xiu rarely mentioned his family affairs to Fang Yunwan.He also vaguely guessed from some reports of Songwen Group that Jiang Xiu's parents might have left him very early, and he grew up beside his grandfather Song Qijun.
But this story about the car accident was actually told by Jiang Xiu to Fang Yunwan.
It was the night when the Nanhu project had an accident.It's just that Fang Yunwan didn't know at that time that Jiang Xiu had personally experienced the car accident and lost his mother in the car accident.
He clicked on Xu Zhang's avatar in the internal communication software, and his avatar has been gray since he went to work in the morning.Most of the time, where Jiang Xiu is, Xu Zhang is also there, so Jiang Xiu is not in the company for almost a whole day.
Where did Jiang Xiu go today?What are you doing?Did he see this article?
Looking at the large paragraph of text on the screen, Fang Yunwan couldn't imagine what kind of mood Jiang Xiu would feel when he was forced to think of these after seeing these after so many years.
On this day, Fang Yunwan had no news of Jiang Xiu.After a week of turmoil, everyone was exhausted. Taking advantage of the relative calm today, when it was time to get off work, everyone hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to go home.Although the matter has gradually calmed down, everyone resigned to their fate to take the computer home to prevent further incidents.
Fang Yunwan went to pick An An home, but he still couldn't see Jiang Xiu.
Aunt Wu said that this week, there was no sign of Jiang Xiu coming back to spend the night at home.Fang Yunwan sighed, comforted his aunt, and comforted himself, saying that it was all right, it would be fine next week.
Next week, New Year's Day will be celebrated. In the new year, everything will be fine.
But one thing after another, like the crowds going to the market, they came almost in groups and turbulently.Early on Saturday morning, Fang Yunwan was woken up by the vibrating sound of his mobile phone. He hadn’t slept well for a week, and when he was about to hang up the phone in agitation, he glanced at the name that flashed on the screen, and sat up on the bed in a “teng” manner. up.
It was his mother who hadn't called him for a long time.
He rubbed his face to get rid of the bewilderment and drowsiness on his whole face, and answered the phone in surprise and joy, but there was a low sobbing sound from the other end.Fang Yunwan's heart felt cold, and a chill ran up his back, and he asked cautiously, "Mom?"
It was indeed his mother Shen Caiping's voice, but it was choked and hoarse.She said: "Xiaowan, your father is sick, can you come back?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I woke up this morning and suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood." Recalling the scene where her husband Fang Tao vomited blood without warning in the morning, Shen Caiping was terrified. Over the phone, she was both scared and anxious, "I don't know him What's the matter, I was fine yesterday, I woke up in the morning and said I felt sick, and before I could finish talking, I went to the sink and vomited a pool of blood."
After listening to Shen Caiping's description, Fang Yunwan was so impatient that he wanted to fly out of him and fly back home.He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Mom, don't worry, listen to me. Where are you and Dad now? Have you called an ambulance?"
"Called, we are in the hospital now, your dad was sent to the emergency room."
"Okay, I'll buy the nearest train ticket to go back. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yunwan opened the ticketing software and went home. About two and a half hours later, he booked the train ticket for the latest train from Yucheng to Ningyuan. He quickly washed and changed his clothes and stuffed them into his backpack. Two changes of clothes.After everything was packed, I remembered that there was still An An at home who had nowhere to put it.
Fang Yunwan was a little worried. If he left, he would definitely have to stay in Ningyuan for a few days, and he would not care about An'an at all.
At this time, An An was already woken up by Fang Yunwan's commotion. Wearing pajamas, rubbing her eyes, she walked into the living room and softly asked Fang Yunwan, "Uncle, are you going out?"
"Yes, uncle has to go home." Fang Yunwan answered him while looking through the ID card in the drawer.
"Isn't this our home?" An An asked with her head tilted.
Time was tight, and Fang Yunwan couldn't explain clearly to An An where he was going and what he was going to do. After stuffing his ID card into his schoolbag, he squatted down to discuss with An An: "Uncle has something urgent, so Aunt Wu will accompany you this weekend. Let's play, okay?"
An An didn't see Fang Yunwan very much this week. Hearing what he said, his first reaction was to be unhappy, but he kept his mouth shut and nodded sensibly.Fang Yunwan felt that An An was very pitiful, but at this moment he had no strength or time to pity him, so he quickly called Aunt Wu.
Fortunately, Aunt Wu was free. After hearing about Fang Yunwan's situation, she asked Fang Yunwan to send An An to her home on the way to the station.
Aunt Wu lives in an old community in the south of Yucheng.The community is very large, with [-] or [-] units. This is the resettlement community in the early years.
Nowadays, many young people have bought houses in new real estate. Most of the residents in this community are elderly people who are unwilling to move their seats and some tenants.
Fang Yunwan took An An into a taxi, and the car stopped directly downstairs at Aunt Wu's house.He led An An upstairs, handed An An to Aunt Wu, and calmed An An's emotions, but when he went downstairs, the taxi app failed to call a car.Whether it's a taxi driver or an online car-hailing driver, they probably don't like to wander around the community. Fang Yunwan glanced at his watch and walked quickly towards the gate of the community.
After passing two or three buildings, Fang Yunwan suddenly stopped.
On the right side of the road was a set of stone tables and benches, and Jiang Xiu was actually sitting on one of the stone benches.He was wearing a formal suit, and he was sitting on the stone bench at this moment, but he looked a little embarrassed, with his forehead propped on one hand, his brows slightly frowned, and his thin shoulders rose and fell with the rhythm of his breathing.
Standing behind him, Xu Zhang unscrewed the thermos cup and put it in his hand, bending over to persuade him.
But Jiang Xiu was unmoved, frowned and shook his head, his face covered by his palms revealed a little bit.It was only Friday and one day since Fang Yun saw him back at night, but Jiang Xiu's complexion was a little worse, from the paleness to the dull gray of fatigue, as oppressive and gloomy as today's weather, even his lips were pale. It was pale and bluish, with no trace of blood.He took a deep breath, took a sip of hot water from the thermos cup at hand, frowned and swallowed slowly, put two fingers on his temples, and rubbed them vigorously.
Fang Yunwan was in a hurry, didn't want to run into them head-on, and was about to turn around when he was discovered by Xu Zhang.Xu Zhang said in surprise, "Yun Wan, why are you here?"
With this sound, Jiang Xiu, who closed his eyes to rest his mind, also called out to open his eyes and look over.
There is still an hour before the departure of the high-speed train, which is barely enough time to say hello and chat a few words.Fang Yunwan walked over bravely, and said hello awkwardly: "What a coincidence. Why are you here?"
"Mr. Jiang has time today and said he wants to visit Zhang Xiaosan's family."
"Zhang Xiaosan lives in this community? It's quite far from Nanhu Lake."
Xu Zhang nodded and pointed in the direction for him: "His wife sells skewers at the school gate opposite the community, and rents a garage in the building in front, and lives with her daughter. Zhang Xiaosan will come over."
"Have you visited already? How is it? Is it going well?" Fang Yunwan felt a little embarrassed about Zhang Xiaosan's matter. Although he didn't want to talk more, he still couldn't help asking.
Xu Zhang shook his head: "Not yet. We just arrived, let's rest for a while before going over..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhang's cell phone rang, and he took out his cell phone. Fang Yunwan saw Song Qijun's name flashing on the screen out of the corner of his eye.Jiang Xiu was also startled by the phone ringing, looked over, Xu Zhang held out the phone to him: "It's Dong Song's phone."
"Hang up."
"Mr. Jiang." Xu Zhang is just a secretary, and Jiang Xiu's request is really embarrassing for him.
Pressing his throbbing temple, Jiang Xiu stretched out his other hand to Xu Zhang, and Xu Zhang quickly handed over his mobile phone.
After answering the phone, the angry Song Qijun spoke so loudly that even Fang Yunwan, who was standing two steps away, could hear what the person on the other end of the receiver said.Song Qijun's angry voice came over: "Are you with Jiang Xiu? Let him answer the phone."
"I am listening."
Jiang Xiu's voice was low and cold, like pouring a bucket of ice water on Song Qijun's anger.But Song Qijun's anger was not lit on the dry wood, but boiled in the oil pan. When the cold water was stirred, the oil pan would explode in anger.
"Are you willing to answer the phone? What's the matter with that article? Without your consent, would Xu Luyao dare to write like that? He couldn't suppress the public anger, so he used his own mother to block the knife. Jiang Xiu, you are really sorry Mom gave up her own life to save you!"
It turned out that the article mentioning Song Jin's car accident was written by Xu Luyao, so it must have been instructed by Jiang Xiu.
Fang Yunwan felt that Song Qijun's words were urgent and loud, like small firecrackers being bombed one after another, each one hitting Jiang Xiu's dead point.Sure enough, he saw that Jiang Xiu's face was paler than before, he moved the phone away a little bit, pressed his heart and coughed twice.
After a while, Jiang Xiu took the call again: "The accident happened in the module that Song Zheng was in charge of. Song Zheng was also in charge of comforting the family members of the deceased. Of course you can scold me for using the car accident to divert the attention, but are you Should Song Zheng come and thank me?"
Fang Yunwan was shocked to find that Jiang Xiu's pale lips had already become faintly cyanotic. He stretched out his hand to grab his neckline, and his breathing became more and more heavy.Song Qijun on the other end of the phone was still yelling something furiously, but Jiang Xiu's gaze had gradually faded, he gritted his teeth and finally said: "I have to comfort the family for Song Zheng, I don't have time to listen to you now... "
Before the words were finished, Jiang Xiu quickly hung up the phone, the phone slipped from his palm, and his body fell powerlessly to one side.Fortunately, Fang Yunwan stood close enough to support him with his hand, and let him lean back in his arms. His lips were purple, his breathing was short, and there was a piercing and strange whistling sound from his throat.
It's an asthma attack.
Fang Yunwan skillfully reached out his hand and took out the dilator from his pocket, asked Xu Zhang to help stabilize him, and slowly sprayed the medicine into him.After Jiang Xiu's shortness of breath gradually calmed down, Fang Yunwan breathed a sigh of relief, removed Jiang Xiu from his arms, and supported him to lean on the stone table: "I still have something to do, so I have to go first. "
Jiang Xiu grabbed a corner of Fang Yunwan's sleeve, gently holding him like a reluctant willow branch.Seeing that the departure time was getting closer, Fang Yunwan could only grit his teeth and tear his hand off his body, but saw that the moment the corner of his clothes was loosened, a tear flashed quickly from the corner of Jiang Xiu's eye .
It was just a very small tear.
And when Xu Zhang stood behind Jiang Xiu, Fang Yunwan should be the only one who saw Jiang Xiu's tears.
He couldn't help feeling a little distressed, put his hand away gently, leaned over and whispered: "I really have something to go, I'll see you when I come back."
It was past four o'clock in the afternoon to rush back to Ningyuan. Fang Yunwan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to the Central Hospital after leaving the train station.
At that time, Fang Tao had already been transferred to the ward, and the effect of the anesthesia had not yet expired. The doctor asked his family members to pay attention to accompany him.Shen Caiping didn't dare to leave an inch, sat next to Fang Tao, and chatted with him some trivial things about her parents.Fang Yunwan bought Shen Caiping a bowl of hot noodle soup downstairs and brought it up before letting her have her first mouthful of hot food today.
Fang Tao and Shen Caiping are both traditional and decent people.Five years ago, they first learned that their son had meddled in someone else's marriage, and then they learned that their son fell in love with their male teacher. Things are even more unforgivable.Fang Tao was short-tempered, and in a fit of anger, he drove Fang Yunwan out of the house, blocked Fang Yunwan's phone, refused to contact him, and forbade Shen Caiping to contact him again.
Later, Fang Yunwan was overwhelmed with all kinds of phone harassment for Bai Ming's wife, so he changed his mobile phone number, and the family lost contact for nearly a year.
It wasn't until Fang Yunwan's life in Jingcheng became a little more stable that he dared to contact Shen Caiping secretly, and secretly sent things home as Shen Caiping's friend during the holidays.But Fang Tao has a good face, even if he gets angry, he has already softened his heart, but he refuses to let go and let Fang Yunwan go home. The recent situation of the two is passed on by Shen Caiping.
After all, this was the first time Fang Yunwan had seen Fang Tao in five years.
Five years is neither long nor short. He is still a young man who has accomplished nothing, while the wrinkles between his parents' brows and eyes have deepened by a few inches, and his movements have become more and more sluggish.
On the way here, Shen Caiping had explained Fang Tao's condition to Fang Yunwan on the phone.The end of the new year was approaching, and Fang Tao had a lot of entertainment, and drank alcohol for several days, which caused gastrointestinal bleeding.Fortunately, his bleeding volume was not large, and he was sent to the doctor in time. Now the bleeding has stopped, but it is not life-threatening, but the doctor asked to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation and treatment.
According to the ward number that Shen Caiping told him, Fang Yunwan successfully found the ward where Fang Tao was.He opened the door and went in, and said hello: "Dad, Mom, I'm here." As he spoke, he put the fast food box on the bedside cabinet, looked at Fang Tao on the hospital bed, and tried his best to maintain a normal tone : "Dad, what do you think?"
Fang Tao didn't respond, but moved his eyes in the opposite direction.Fang Yunwan stood awkwardly beside the bed, like a long bamboo pole standing in the wind, he was at a loss as to whether he should stand persistently or lie down.
Seeing this, Shen Caiping glared at Fang Tao secretly, pulled Fang Yunwan to sit down by the bed, introduced Fang Tao's condition to him again, and finally, did not forget to comfort him: "The doctor said it's nothing serious, you don't have to worry too much It's all my fault, I panicked all of a sudden in the morning, and I just called you to make you run in a hurry."
"Mom, why do you say that? Dad is sick, of course I want to come back."
This sentence hit Shen Caiping somehow, her eyes suddenly turned red, she took Fang Yunwan's hand, pursed her lips, nodded and murmured: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to come back, come back good."
Fang Tao couldn't eat yet, fearing that he would smell the food and feel uncomfortable, so Shen Caiping explained to Fang Yunwan a few words, and took the lunch box to eat noodles outside the ward.
This is a double ward, and the patient in the other bed is not there.So as soon as Shen Caiping left, only Fang Tao and Fang Yunwan, father and son, were left in the ward.
Probably because Fang Tao is getting old, he was connected to the ECG monitor and other monitoring equipment in the ward. The orderly beeping sound of the equipment was like a small hammer. smashed.
Because he couldn't eat or drink, Fang Tao's lips were chapped and peeled.
The last time Jiang Xiu was hospitalized with pneumonia, Fang Yunwan learned some skills in caring for patients, and it happened to be used by analogy at this time.He saw a pack of cotton swabs and half a glass of water on the table next to the bed, dipped the cotton swabs in the water, leaned over and carefully applied the water on Fang Tao's chapped lips, and said to Fang Tao, "I can't eat or drink now. , I can only moisten your lips like this, please bear with it."
Repeatedly, Fang Yunwan put down the water glass and cotton swabs until the dead skin on Fang Tao's lips became soft and supple.
The glass of water seemed to not only soften the dead skin on Fang Tao's lips, but also soften Fang Tao's heart.He moved his eyes to look at Fang Yunwan, and seemed to struggle for a while before he was willing to speak to him: "Don't you have to go to work today?"
Obviously, this was an opening remark out of words, but Fang Yunwan didn't dare to dampen his father's enthusiasm for talking to him, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, today is Saturday, there is nothing particularly urgent, and generally there is no need to work overtime."
"Did the engineering accident in your company have any impact on your work?"
The impact is quite big, I have been busy for a week for this matter!
Fang Tao hasn't spoken to him for several years, but he still has a clear understanding of Fang Yunwan's current work.Fang Yunwan knew it in his heart, but he didn't pierce his father's silent concern, and took the opportunity of answering his question to tell him his recent situation in more detail.
The father and son tacitly did not mention the incident five years ago. They talked about the accident in Zhaoyang Real Estate, the weather in Yucheng and Ningyuan, and their lives in the past few years. Like most fathers and sons who have not seen each other for many years, they are familiar Seemingly alienated, eager but restrained, they want to find out the time they missed from each other's words.
In three days' time, it will be the New Year's Day holiday, Fang Yunwan rarely comes back, and Fang Tao is ill again.After confirming her time and An An's adaptation with Aunt Wu, Fang Yunwan simply asked Zhou Sheng for leave, planning to stay in Ningyuan until the end of New Year's Day before returning to Yucheng.
Although he cannot be discharged from the hospital for the time being, Fang Tao's condition is not serious, and the atmosphere among the family of three is not heavy.Returning to her parents, Fang Yunwan felt that she was a child being cared for again.
When Shen Caiping made soup for Fang Tao, she would always serve an extra bowl to force Fang Yunwan to drink it. Fang Yunwan hadn't tasted the soup made by her mother for many years. Holding the soup bowl, she couldn't help but rolled for two A tear came out.
Seeing her son's appearance, Shen Caiping's eyes were also red, and she patted Fang Yunwan who was a head taller than herself, her voice choked up: "It's all over, just come back."
Fang Yunwan didn't try to clarify what happened back then. It's been too long, he doesn't know where to start, and he doesn't know whether he should talk about it.They have unanimously sealed this matter in a certain tomb.
Although it was a cover-up to whitewash the peace, there was really no need for him to insist on digging a grave at this time.
But the precarious layer of paper was pierced by Fang Tao on a sunny afternoon.
Fang Tao couldn't sit still, and finally the doctor said he could take him downstairs to bask in the sun, so he couldn't wait to ask Fang Yunwan to help him go downstairs for a walk.
The sun in the winter afternoon brings a thin layer of warmth, and it is so comfortable to stand and sit in the sun that it is drowsy.
The father and son walked around the small garden downstairs in the inpatient department twice in silence. Fang Yunwan helped Fang Tao to sit on a bench and poured him half a cup of warm water from the thermos.
There was no one around, and even the leaves were still.
Fang Tao suddenly said, "In the future, what are your plans?"
In fact, when Fang Yun was in college late, such a topic was discussed more than once between father and son.Fang Tao and Shen Caiping are generally open-minded parents. As long as what Fang Yunwan wants to do is serious, they will support him, and will help him analyze his strengths and weaknesses, and plan the way forward with him.
But Fang Yunwan knew that Fang Tao was not asking about his career plans when he asked this question.
Similarly, he also knew what kind of answer Fang Tao was expecting.As a parent, at this age, the most hopeful
House seemingly endless rain.
Hearing Fang Yunwan's determination, Jiang Xiu was a little irritable. He glanced at the time and added, "This blueprint is not in a hurry, so take your time. If you are almost too busy today, go back and rest first." , and waved to Fang Yunwan, signaling him to leave on his own.
It was indeed not as urgent as yesterday. Fang Yunwan originally planned to go downstairs to finish today's work and leave.Fang Yunwan watched as Jiang Xiu casually picked up a folder on the table and spread it out. He lowered his head and made notes seriously, showing no intention of going to rest at all.
In fact, Jiang Xiu really didn't plan to set aside time for himself to rest tonight. Before Fang Yunwan even had time to persuade him to go home and rest, he was bombarded with several phone calls, urging him to go to a meeting.Jiang Xiu had just recovered from a serious illness. After two days in a row, he really couldn't hold it any longer. He was too anxious when he got up.
It was too late when Fang Yunwan realized something was wrong. He quickly walked around to Jiang Xiu, but he didn't have time to support him, so he could only watch him fall back into the chair again.Jiang Xiu's face was pale, and the blood on his lips faded completely, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant.
"Where are you uncomfortable?"
Jiang Xiu was breathing heavily, and after a while he gathered some strength, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm a little hypoglycemic. There's sugar on the table, help me get one."
Hearing this, Fang Yunwan hurriedly looked through his desk.After removing a stack of documents, I found that a whole piece of millet porridge was placed in a corner of the desk, and the staples that had been nailed to the seal on the takeaway bag had not been removed.
No wonder you get hypoglycemia.
Fang Yunwan remembered that Jiang Xiu had this problem before.
Unlike Fang Yunwan, Jiang Xiu didn't seem to be very interested in food. He had three meals a day, except breakfast.
Because Fang Yunwan had to stare at him to finish eating before letting him go out, he could be guaranteed that he could often save the other two meals when he was busy.
Sometimes he didn't eat two meals in a row, and when he saw Fang Yunwan at night, Jiang Xiu was in a daze.
After he had a few bouts of hypoglycemia in front of Fang Yunwan, Fang Yunwan stuffed some chocolates, candies, biscuits and other small things in his office, in the locker on the car, and in the pocket of his coat from time to time. snack.
Knowing that it might not be effective to remind Jiang Xiu to eat, Fang Yunwan sent Jiang Xiu messages from time to time to remind him to remember to eat some snacks.Peeling a piece of candy and holding it does not delay the matter, Jiang Xiu is also cooperative.
Once, when Fang Yunwan reminded Jiang Xiu to eat snacks, Jiang Xiu was in a meeting, and he only had a cup of tea at hand, and there was no food that could be called a snack. Fang Yunwan bought Japanese-style caramel round cakes.Later Fang Yunwan heard from Xu Zhang that this was not the most outrageous thing, it was even more outrageous.
After that time, every conference room in the Songwen Building will use small transparent plates to display small snacks such as candy and biscuits.
This time Fang Yunwan joined Songwen Group, and found that they still keep this habit. Small plates with snacks are placed in large and small meeting rooms, and there are even small biscuits placed in several meeting rooms. The one I bought for Jiang Xiu.
Time has gone a long way, everything has changed, but it seems that nothing has changed too much.
Fang Yunwan was well acquainted with Jiang Xiu's habit of collecting things, so he easily found the small tin box he used to hold candies, grabbed two candies from inside, tore open the packaging bag, and fed them to Jiang Xiu's mouth.He stood aside with a serious expression, waiting for Jiang Xiu's face to calm down a little, and then he was relieved.
"How long has it been since you ate?"
Jiang Xiu closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, biting the candy in his mouth, the pure sweetness of glucose exploded in his mouth, suppressing the drowsiness and nausea.The tinnitus and dizziness gradually dissipated, and the numb fingers gradually gained strength. He could already hear Fang Yunwan's words clearly, but his chest was tight and short of breath, and he still seemed weak when he opened his mouth to respond: "There is food, but I can't eat much. "
Fang Yunwan brought the unopened takeaway to Jiang Xiu's eyes: "Is this called eating?"
Jiang Xiu discussed with him: "I didn't have time just now, I have to go to a meeting now, come back later for dinner, okay?"
"It's past eight o'clock, why do you still have a meeting? Is it about Zhaoyang Real Estate?"
Jiang Xiu muffled and coughed twice: "No, it's about the clothing sector. The person in charge of an Italian clothing brand will come to investigate tomorrow morning. If it goes well, we can win the franchise of this brand in Asia. When the time comes , there will be another card in the clothing section's hand."
"Do you have to go?"
"The other party's visit this time is of a high standard. Although I can't accompany you all the way, at least I have to show my face tomorrow morning."
Fang Yunwan rolled his eyes and complained in a low voice: "You are not afraid to scare away your collaborators by showing up like this."
The office was too quiet, even though Fang Yunwan's voice was very low, it fell into Jiang Xiu's ears without missing a word.He pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were like the surface of water under the afterglow of the setting sun, and his tone was as gentle as coaxing a child: "Just one more busy night, I will definitely be able to have dinner with you and An An next week."
"Who wants you to accompany me!" Fang Yunwan snorted softly, "I don't care about you anymore, I'm leaving."
Jiang Xiu looked at Fang Yunwan with a smile, like a puffer fish, and pushed the door away angrily.
Those deliberately created alienation and indifference are like the sour powder on the outermost layer of Skittle Candy, if you are not careful, that layer of powder will be covered and melted, and it will reveal flaws, allowing Jiang Xiu to discover the secrets hidden inside. The fruity fudge is just as soft and sweet as it was years ago.
Laughing and cursing are full of obsessive friendship.
Maybe even Fang Yunwan didn't realize that, in essence, he was the same Fang Yunwan five years ago.
When he packed his things and left Songwen Building, Fang Yunwan met Meng Chen in the elevator who was going downstairs to get takeaway.
After joining the company, Fang Yunwan was in the group, and Meng Chen was in Zhaoyang Real Estate. One started a brand across the industry, and the other stuck to his original intention and devoted himself to construction. There was basically no overlap in their work.The fate between people is sometimes so shallow that they have been in and out of the same building for several months before finally meeting each other.
I don't know if it was related to this accident, Meng Chen looked tired and haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, Fang Yunwan suspected that he could fall asleep standing in the elevator.But looking at the mirror in the elevator, Fang Yunwan found to his dismay that the tiredness in his brows and eyes was not much less than that of Meng Chen.
The youths who used to be high-spirited and vigorous together have now faded together to look like angry horses in fresh clothes.
At that time, Fang Yunwan was quite arrogant.With his arrogance, he has firmly ranked first in the professional rankings, and he can easily win awards in various competitions. Not only are the teachers in the college favoring him, but there is also a Jiangxiu who, along with Doraemon responded to his every request, but also devoted himself to it.
At that time, Fang Yunwan really seemed to own the whole world.
It is easy to get carried away when you are a teenager. At that age, it is easy to do annoying things.
For example, the eyes are higher than the top, supercilious, thinking that the works polished by many students are not worth mentioning.
Thinking of the smug Fang Yunwan, the current Fang Yunwan also felt disgusted.
But he remembered that he should have never provoked Meng Chen.At the same time, he clearly remembered that for a while when they were studying, the two of them walked past each other, but they refused to even say hello.
Why?He doesn't remember much.
But time has passed, and these are no longer important.
What happened five or six years ago was so far away that it seemed like a previous life. Looking at it now, the likes and dislikes of the student days are insignificant and childish.After greeting each other generously with Meng Chen, Fang Yunwan casually asked, "Do you still have to work late tonight?"
Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the elevator, so there was no need to shy away from speaking.
"I left it by myself. I will start a comprehensive investigation of the accident soon. Before that, I want to take a closer look at the drawings." Meng Chen hesitated a little, "The main designer of the Nanhu project is..."
"It's Teacher Bai." Fang Yunwan spoke for him.
Rumors of his extramarital affair with Bai Ming were well known in Yucheng University, and he knew Meng Chen's concerns.
"The engineering department said that there were problems with the drawings of the Nanhu project team from the very beginning, and thought it might be a mistake in the revision and review of the drawings. But I don't think Mr. Bai should have made such a mistake."
"I also trust Mr. Bai." Fang Yunwan added softly, "Do you remember what he said when we first practiced residential design?"
It was a sunny early summer afternoon, there were already sporadic cicadas singing outside the window, and the sunlight entered the room, falling half a meter away from the podium.Bai Ming wore a white shirt that day. He used to roll the sleeves of the shirt up to his forearm, leaving his wrists unobstructed, so it was more convenient for him to do anything.
Fang Yunwan remembered Bai Ming saying that, in comparison, residential design has relatively low requirements for the designer's personal style.
But it is not easy to do well. Everyone should pay more attention to comfort, convenience, safety, etc. This may be a house that people have spent their entire life savings on, so it must be done well.
Meng Chen nodded: "I remember, so I trust him. I have only been in the job for a few months, and the information I can get is limited, but I still want to see as much as I can. I know I can't do much, but at least in the event of an accident Before the cause is investigated, I can help Teacher Bai clarify a few words when others are talking nonsense."
Probably because he had personally experienced being alone and helpless, Fang Yunwan was moved by Meng Chen's willingness to clarify Bai Ming's thoughts, and blurted out: "I also have a copy of the original design drawings here. If you need it, we can find a copy of it." Time to see it together."
"The blueprint?" Meng Chen reacted for a few seconds, then understood, and asked hesitantly, "Did President Jiang give it to you?"
Those who knew the inside story of the year were always extremely sensitive about his relationship with Bai Ming and Jiang Xiu.Fang Yunwan didn't want to mention it, so he just nodded silently, but Meng Chen's eyes lit up: "Are you reconciled with Mr. Jiang?"
Fang Yunwan remained silent, looking at Meng Chen with calm eyes.
"Maybe, I mean maybe, what misunderstanding did you have back then?" Meng Chen felt a bit of coercion in Fang Yunwan's gaze, and he further explained, "I just think it's fate that you two met again. If there is any misunderstanding, just let it go, after all, you loved each other so much back then."
As a bystander of that incident back then, Meng Chen probably guessed that Jiang Xiu misunderstood Fang Yunwan's relationship with Bai Ming and broke up with him.
As everyone knows, the person who is filled with hatred and can't control himself is actually Fang Yunwan.
Could Fang Yunwan have misunderstood Jiang Xiu?The photos of Fang Yunwan and Bai Ming secretly taken were seen by Fang Yunwan in Jiang Xiu's study.
Now even Jiang Xiu himself admitted that he went crazy after drinking and posted that nonsense post on the forum of Yucheng University. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?
In the silence, the elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Fang Yunwan stepped out of the elevator car and told Meng Chen, "There is no misunderstanding. I ended up with him five years ago."
"Maybe!" Meng Chen and Fang Yunwan walked out and asked after him.
Fang Yunwan didn't want to say more on this topic, so he pointed in the direction of the takeaway cabinet: "Go and get the takeaway, it'll be cold in a while." After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly in the opposite direction of the takeaway cabinet.
He can ignore past resentment, he can regard meeting Jiang Xiu as an ordinary reunion, but it is impossible to have no heart, and it is even more impossible to continue the relationship.
As early as five years ago, everything was over, and they even had a new start - Jiang Xiu has Xu Luyao by his side, and he has made up his mind to take care of Da'an. Maybe this ending is not perfect, but It's a good ending for them.
At least, they are luckier than Bai Ming, they are still alive.
Probably Xu Yang and Zhou Sheng's reassurance had worked the day before, and there was no new activity on the account of Zhang Xiaosan's family, but the attention of netizens on this matter did not diminish because of this, and various speculations emerged endlessly.
On Friday morning, Zhaoyang Real Estate held a small press conference on the accident.Sure enough, at the press conference, he was asked about the delay in rescuing Zhang Xiaosan. Xu Yang thanked Zhang Xiaosan for his selfless assistance to the workers when the accident happened, and gave up the opportunity to receive treatment to other workers. He also expressed his regret. He also said that he had contacted Zhang Xiaosan's family and would properly handle Zhang Xiaosan's compensation.
In the afternoon of the same day, a public account of popular medical science issued an article, guessing that Zhang Xiaosan died of internal organ rupture caused by the impact in the accident, pointing out that in many accidents, the injured with such internal organ damage appear to be safe on the outside, and are often easy to be careless. Missed the rescue opportunity.
Following the link forwarded by the netizen, Fang Yunwan immediately clicked on the original text to read.
In addition to popularizing the reasons why Zhang Xiaosan was seriously injured but still able to move freely, the article also mentioned a similar case.
It was a car accident more than twenty years ago.When the car accident happened, there was a mother and son in the car. The son was bleeding profusely from the trauma, while the mother was conscious and did not appear to be seriously injured.Aizi was eager, and the mother insisted on letting her son get into the first ambulance first, but the seemingly safe man died of serious injuries on the way to the hospital by the second ambulance.
Coincidentally, the mother who died in the car accident was Song Jin, the first general manager of Songwen Group, and the child who was sent to the hospital by Song Jin insisted on going first has grown up now, and is now the vice president of Songwen Group Manager Jiang Xiu.
Whether it was the first meeting or the reunion, Jiang Xiu rarely mentioned his family affairs to Fang Yunwan.He also vaguely guessed from some reports of Songwen Group that Jiang Xiu's parents might have left him very early, and he grew up beside his grandfather Song Qijun.
But this story about the car accident was actually told by Jiang Xiu to Fang Yunwan.
It was the night when the Nanhu project had an accident.It's just that Fang Yunwan didn't know at that time that Jiang Xiu had personally experienced the car accident and lost his mother in the car accident.
He clicked on Xu Zhang's avatar in the internal communication software, and his avatar has been gray since he went to work in the morning.Most of the time, where Jiang Xiu is, Xu Zhang is also there, so Jiang Xiu is not in the company for almost a whole day.
Where did Jiang Xiu go today?What are you doing?Did he see this article?
Looking at the large paragraph of text on the screen, Fang Yunwan couldn't imagine what kind of mood Jiang Xiu would feel when he was forced to think of these after seeing these after so many years.
On this day, Fang Yunwan had no news of Jiang Xiu.After a week of turmoil, everyone was exhausted. Taking advantage of the relative calm today, when it was time to get off work, everyone hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to go home.Although the matter has gradually calmed down, everyone resigned to their fate to take the computer home to prevent further incidents.
Fang Yunwan went to pick An An home, but he still couldn't see Jiang Xiu.
Aunt Wu said that this week, there was no sign of Jiang Xiu coming back to spend the night at home.Fang Yunwan sighed, comforted his aunt, and comforted himself, saying that it was all right, it would be fine next week.
Next week, New Year's Day will be celebrated. In the new year, everything will be fine.
But one thing after another, like the crowds going to the market, they came almost in groups and turbulently.Early on Saturday morning, Fang Yunwan was woken up by the vibrating sound of his mobile phone. He hadn’t slept well for a week, and when he was about to hang up the phone in agitation, he glanced at the name that flashed on the screen, and sat up on the bed in a “teng” manner. up.
It was his mother who hadn't called him for a long time.
He rubbed his face to get rid of the bewilderment and drowsiness on his whole face, and answered the phone in surprise and joy, but there was a low sobbing sound from the other end.Fang Yunwan's heart felt cold, and a chill ran up his back, and he asked cautiously, "Mom?"
It was indeed his mother Shen Caiping's voice, but it was choked and hoarse.She said: "Xiaowan, your father is sick, can you come back?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I woke up this morning and suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood." Recalling the scene where her husband Fang Tao vomited blood without warning in the morning, Shen Caiping was terrified. Over the phone, she was both scared and anxious, "I don't know him What's the matter, I was fine yesterday, I woke up in the morning and said I felt sick, and before I could finish talking, I went to the sink and vomited a pool of blood."
After listening to Shen Caiping's description, Fang Yunwan was so impatient that he wanted to fly out of him and fly back home.He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Mom, don't worry, listen to me. Where are you and Dad now? Have you called an ambulance?"
"Called, we are in the hospital now, your dad was sent to the emergency room."
"Okay, I'll buy the nearest train ticket to go back. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yunwan opened the ticketing software and went home. About two and a half hours later, he booked the train ticket for the latest train from Yucheng to Ningyuan. He quickly washed and changed his clothes and stuffed them into his backpack. Two changes of clothes.After everything was packed, I remembered that there was still An An at home who had nowhere to put it.
Fang Yunwan was a little worried. If he left, he would definitely have to stay in Ningyuan for a few days, and he would not care about An'an at all.
At this time, An An was already woken up by Fang Yunwan's commotion. Wearing pajamas, rubbing her eyes, she walked into the living room and softly asked Fang Yunwan, "Uncle, are you going out?"
"Yes, uncle has to go home." Fang Yunwan answered him while looking through the ID card in the drawer.
"Isn't this our home?" An An asked with her head tilted.
Time was tight, and Fang Yunwan couldn't explain clearly to An An where he was going and what he was going to do. After stuffing his ID card into his schoolbag, he squatted down to discuss with An An: "Uncle has something urgent, so Aunt Wu will accompany you this weekend. Let's play, okay?"
An An didn't see Fang Yunwan very much this week. Hearing what he said, his first reaction was to be unhappy, but he kept his mouth shut and nodded sensibly.Fang Yunwan felt that An An was very pitiful, but at this moment he had no strength or time to pity him, so he quickly called Aunt Wu.
Fortunately, Aunt Wu was free. After hearing about Fang Yunwan's situation, she asked Fang Yunwan to send An An to her home on the way to the station.
Aunt Wu lives in an old community in the south of Yucheng.The community is very large, with [-] or [-] units. This is the resettlement community in the early years.
Nowadays, many young people have bought houses in new real estate. Most of the residents in this community are elderly people who are unwilling to move their seats and some tenants.
Fang Yunwan took An An into a taxi, and the car stopped directly downstairs at Aunt Wu's house.He led An An upstairs, handed An An to Aunt Wu, and calmed An An's emotions, but when he went downstairs, the taxi app failed to call a car.Whether it's a taxi driver or an online car-hailing driver, they probably don't like to wander around the community. Fang Yunwan glanced at his watch and walked quickly towards the gate of the community.
After passing two or three buildings, Fang Yunwan suddenly stopped.
On the right side of the road was a set of stone tables and benches, and Jiang Xiu was actually sitting on one of the stone benches.He was wearing a formal suit, and he was sitting on the stone bench at this moment, but he looked a little embarrassed, with his forehead propped on one hand, his brows slightly frowned, and his thin shoulders rose and fell with the rhythm of his breathing.
Standing behind him, Xu Zhang unscrewed the thermos cup and put it in his hand, bending over to persuade him.
But Jiang Xiu was unmoved, frowned and shook his head, his face covered by his palms revealed a little bit.It was only Friday and one day since Fang Yun saw him back at night, but Jiang Xiu's complexion was a little worse, from the paleness to the dull gray of fatigue, as oppressive and gloomy as today's weather, even his lips were pale. It was pale and bluish, with no trace of blood.He took a deep breath, took a sip of hot water from the thermos cup at hand, frowned and swallowed slowly, put two fingers on his temples, and rubbed them vigorously.
Fang Yunwan was in a hurry, didn't want to run into them head-on, and was about to turn around when he was discovered by Xu Zhang.Xu Zhang said in surprise, "Yun Wan, why are you here?"
With this sound, Jiang Xiu, who closed his eyes to rest his mind, also called out to open his eyes and look over.
There is still an hour before the departure of the high-speed train, which is barely enough time to say hello and chat a few words.Fang Yunwan walked over bravely, and said hello awkwardly: "What a coincidence. Why are you here?"
"Mr. Jiang has time today and said he wants to visit Zhang Xiaosan's family."
"Zhang Xiaosan lives in this community? It's quite far from Nanhu Lake."
Xu Zhang nodded and pointed in the direction for him: "His wife sells skewers at the school gate opposite the community, and rents a garage in the building in front, and lives with her daughter. Zhang Xiaosan will come over."
"Have you visited already? How is it? Is it going well?" Fang Yunwan felt a little embarrassed about Zhang Xiaosan's matter. Although he didn't want to talk more, he still couldn't help asking.
Xu Zhang shook his head: "Not yet. We just arrived, let's rest for a while before going over..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhang's cell phone rang, and he took out his cell phone. Fang Yunwan saw Song Qijun's name flashing on the screen out of the corner of his eye.Jiang Xiu was also startled by the phone ringing, looked over, Xu Zhang held out the phone to him: "It's Dong Song's phone."
"Hang up."
"Mr. Jiang." Xu Zhang is just a secretary, and Jiang Xiu's request is really embarrassing for him.
Pressing his throbbing temple, Jiang Xiu stretched out his other hand to Xu Zhang, and Xu Zhang quickly handed over his mobile phone.
After answering the phone, the angry Song Qijun spoke so loudly that even Fang Yunwan, who was standing two steps away, could hear what the person on the other end of the receiver said.Song Qijun's angry voice came over: "Are you with Jiang Xiu? Let him answer the phone."
"I am listening."
Jiang Xiu's voice was low and cold, like pouring a bucket of ice water on Song Qijun's anger.But Song Qijun's anger was not lit on the dry wood, but boiled in the oil pan. When the cold water was stirred, the oil pan would explode in anger.
"Are you willing to answer the phone? What's the matter with that article? Without your consent, would Xu Luyao dare to write like that? He couldn't suppress the public anger, so he used his own mother to block the knife. Jiang Xiu, you are really sorry Mom gave up her own life to save you!"
It turned out that the article mentioning Song Jin's car accident was written by Xu Luyao, so it must have been instructed by Jiang Xiu.
Fang Yunwan felt that Song Qijun's words were urgent and loud, like small firecrackers being bombed one after another, each one hitting Jiang Xiu's dead point.Sure enough, he saw that Jiang Xiu's face was paler than before, he moved the phone away a little bit, pressed his heart and coughed twice.
After a while, Jiang Xiu took the call again: "The accident happened in the module that Song Zheng was in charge of. Song Zheng was also in charge of comforting the family members of the deceased. Of course you can scold me for using the car accident to divert the attention, but are you Should Song Zheng come and thank me?"
Fang Yunwan was shocked to find that Jiang Xiu's pale lips had already become faintly cyanotic. He stretched out his hand to grab his neckline, and his breathing became more and more heavy.Song Qijun on the other end of the phone was still yelling something furiously, but Jiang Xiu's gaze had gradually faded, he gritted his teeth and finally said: "I have to comfort the family for Song Zheng, I don't have time to listen to you now... "
Before the words were finished, Jiang Xiu quickly hung up the phone, the phone slipped from his palm, and his body fell powerlessly to one side.Fortunately, Fang Yunwan stood close enough to support him with his hand, and let him lean back in his arms. His lips were purple, his breathing was short, and there was a piercing and strange whistling sound from his throat.
It's an asthma attack.
Fang Yunwan skillfully reached out his hand and took out the dilator from his pocket, asked Xu Zhang to help stabilize him, and slowly sprayed the medicine into him.After Jiang Xiu's shortness of breath gradually calmed down, Fang Yunwan breathed a sigh of relief, removed Jiang Xiu from his arms, and supported him to lean on the stone table: "I still have something to do, so I have to go first. "
Jiang Xiu grabbed a corner of Fang Yunwan's sleeve, gently holding him like a reluctant willow branch.Seeing that the departure time was getting closer, Fang Yunwan could only grit his teeth and tear his hand off his body, but saw that the moment the corner of his clothes was loosened, a tear flashed quickly from the corner of Jiang Xiu's eye .
It was just a very small tear.
And when Xu Zhang stood behind Jiang Xiu, Fang Yunwan should be the only one who saw Jiang Xiu's tears.
He couldn't help feeling a little distressed, put his hand away gently, leaned over and whispered: "I really have something to go, I'll see you when I come back."
It was past four o'clock in the afternoon to rush back to Ningyuan. Fang Yunwan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to the Central Hospital after leaving the train station.
At that time, Fang Tao had already been transferred to the ward, and the effect of the anesthesia had not yet expired. The doctor asked his family members to pay attention to accompany him.Shen Caiping didn't dare to leave an inch, sat next to Fang Tao, and chatted with him some trivial things about her parents.Fang Yunwan bought Shen Caiping a bowl of hot noodle soup downstairs and brought it up before letting her have her first mouthful of hot food today.
Fang Tao and Shen Caiping are both traditional and decent people.Five years ago, they first learned that their son had meddled in someone else's marriage, and then they learned that their son fell in love with their male teacher. Things are even more unforgivable.Fang Tao was short-tempered, and in a fit of anger, he drove Fang Yunwan out of the house, blocked Fang Yunwan's phone, refused to contact him, and forbade Shen Caiping to contact him again.
Later, Fang Yunwan was overwhelmed with all kinds of phone harassment for Bai Ming's wife, so he changed his mobile phone number, and the family lost contact for nearly a year.
It wasn't until Fang Yunwan's life in Jingcheng became a little more stable that he dared to contact Shen Caiping secretly, and secretly sent things home as Shen Caiping's friend during the holidays.But Fang Tao has a good face, even if he gets angry, he has already softened his heart, but he refuses to let go and let Fang Yunwan go home. The recent situation of the two is passed on by Shen Caiping.
After all, this was the first time Fang Yunwan had seen Fang Tao in five years.
Five years is neither long nor short. He is still a young man who has accomplished nothing, while the wrinkles between his parents' brows and eyes have deepened by a few inches, and his movements have become more and more sluggish.
On the way here, Shen Caiping had explained Fang Tao's condition to Fang Yunwan on the phone.The end of the new year was approaching, and Fang Tao had a lot of entertainment, and drank alcohol for several days, which caused gastrointestinal bleeding.Fortunately, his bleeding volume was not large, and he was sent to the doctor in time. Now the bleeding has stopped, but it is not life-threatening, but the doctor asked to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation and treatment.
According to the ward number that Shen Caiping told him, Fang Yunwan successfully found the ward where Fang Tao was.He opened the door and went in, and said hello: "Dad, Mom, I'm here." As he spoke, he put the fast food box on the bedside cabinet, looked at Fang Tao on the hospital bed, and tried his best to maintain a normal tone : "Dad, what do you think?"
Fang Tao didn't respond, but moved his eyes in the opposite direction.Fang Yunwan stood awkwardly beside the bed, like a long bamboo pole standing in the wind, he was at a loss as to whether he should stand persistently or lie down.
Seeing this, Shen Caiping glared at Fang Tao secretly, pulled Fang Yunwan to sit down by the bed, introduced Fang Tao's condition to him again, and finally, did not forget to comfort him: "The doctor said it's nothing serious, you don't have to worry too much It's all my fault, I panicked all of a sudden in the morning, and I just called you to make you run in a hurry."
"Mom, why do you say that? Dad is sick, of course I want to come back."
This sentence hit Shen Caiping somehow, her eyes suddenly turned red, she took Fang Yunwan's hand, pursed her lips, nodded and murmured: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to come back, come back good."
Fang Tao couldn't eat yet, fearing that he would smell the food and feel uncomfortable, so Shen Caiping explained to Fang Yunwan a few words, and took the lunch box to eat noodles outside the ward.
This is a double ward, and the patient in the other bed is not there.So as soon as Shen Caiping left, only Fang Tao and Fang Yunwan, father and son, were left in the ward.
Probably because Fang Tao is getting old, he was connected to the ECG monitor and other monitoring equipment in the ward. The orderly beeping sound of the equipment was like a small hammer. smashed.
Because he couldn't eat or drink, Fang Tao's lips were chapped and peeled.
The last time Jiang Xiu was hospitalized with pneumonia, Fang Yunwan learned some skills in caring for patients, and it happened to be used by analogy at this time.He saw a pack of cotton swabs and half a glass of water on the table next to the bed, dipped the cotton swabs in the water, leaned over and carefully applied the water on Fang Tao's chapped lips, and said to Fang Tao, "I can't eat or drink now. , I can only moisten your lips like this, please bear with it."
Repeatedly, Fang Yunwan put down the water glass and cotton swabs until the dead skin on Fang Tao's lips became soft and supple.
The glass of water seemed to not only soften the dead skin on Fang Tao's lips, but also soften Fang Tao's heart.He moved his eyes to look at Fang Yunwan, and seemed to struggle for a while before he was willing to speak to him: "Don't you have to go to work today?"
Obviously, this was an opening remark out of words, but Fang Yunwan didn't dare to dampen his father's enthusiasm for talking to him, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, today is Saturday, there is nothing particularly urgent, and generally there is no need to work overtime."
"Did the engineering accident in your company have any impact on your work?"
The impact is quite big, I have been busy for a week for this matter!
Fang Tao hasn't spoken to him for several years, but he still has a clear understanding of Fang Yunwan's current work.Fang Yunwan knew it in his heart, but he didn't pierce his father's silent concern, and took the opportunity of answering his question to tell him his recent situation in more detail.
The father and son tacitly did not mention the incident five years ago. They talked about the accident in Zhaoyang Real Estate, the weather in Yucheng and Ningyuan, and their lives in the past few years. Like most fathers and sons who have not seen each other for many years, they are familiar Seemingly alienated, eager but restrained, they want to find out the time they missed from each other's words.
In three days' time, it will be the New Year's Day holiday, Fang Yunwan rarely comes back, and Fang Tao is ill again.After confirming her time and An An's adaptation with Aunt Wu, Fang Yunwan simply asked Zhou Sheng for leave, planning to stay in Ningyuan until the end of New Year's Day before returning to Yucheng.
Although he cannot be discharged from the hospital for the time being, Fang Tao's condition is not serious, and the atmosphere among the family of three is not heavy.Returning to her parents, Fang Yunwan felt that she was a child being cared for again.
When Shen Caiping made soup for Fang Tao, she would always serve an extra bowl to force Fang Yunwan to drink it. Fang Yunwan hadn't tasted the soup made by her mother for many years. Holding the soup bowl, she couldn't help but rolled for two A tear came out.
Seeing her son's appearance, Shen Caiping's eyes were also red, and she patted Fang Yunwan who was a head taller than herself, her voice choked up: "It's all over, just come back."
Fang Yunwan didn't try to clarify what happened back then. It's been too long, he doesn't know where to start, and he doesn't know whether he should talk about it.They have unanimously sealed this matter in a certain tomb.
Although it was a cover-up to whitewash the peace, there was really no need for him to insist on digging a grave at this time.
But the precarious layer of paper was pierced by Fang Tao on a sunny afternoon.
Fang Tao couldn't sit still, and finally the doctor said he could take him downstairs to bask in the sun, so he couldn't wait to ask Fang Yunwan to help him go downstairs for a walk.
The sun in the winter afternoon brings a thin layer of warmth, and it is so comfortable to stand and sit in the sun that it is drowsy.
The father and son walked around the small garden downstairs in the inpatient department twice in silence. Fang Yunwan helped Fang Tao to sit on a bench and poured him half a cup of warm water from the thermos.
There was no one around, and even the leaves were still.
Fang Tao suddenly said, "In the future, what are your plans?"
In fact, when Fang Yun was in college late, such a topic was discussed more than once between father and son.Fang Tao and Shen Caiping are generally open-minded parents. As long as what Fang Yunwan wants to do is serious, they will support him, and will help him analyze his strengths and weaknesses, and plan the way forward with him.
But Fang Yunwan knew that Fang Tao was not asking about his career plans when he asked this question.
Similarly, he also knew what kind of answer Fang Tao was expecting.As a parent, at this age, the most hopeful
