Two trees make a forest

It was already two o'clock at night when we rushed back to Pingzhou.After getting out of the car, I couldn't wait to run to the hospital. The nurse on duty saw me running furiously in the corridor, and hurriedly called to stop, but I ignored her, and my mind was spinning grandma's bed number.It was not easy to find the room number, so I immediately opened the door and went in. There were three patients living in the ward.My dad is by the hospital bed near the window.Seeing him, I raised my head slightly and lowered it again.The tears I had stopped began to flow out again.The opening of the door just now was too loud, and everyone in the room cast dissatisfied looks.I pursed my lips tightly and walked over gently, completely forgetting that I still had Mu Xizi behind me.

Standing by the hospital bed, I watched my grandma wear an oxygen mask, and the electrocardiogram on the monitor went up and down.Looking at grandma's peaceful sleeping face, I pinched the headboard of the bed with both hands to suppress the whistling sound that was about to burst out of my heart.Mu Xizi walked up to me gently, greeted my dad first, and then stood beside me.The only light left in the room is the desk lamp by my dad's table.Mu Xizi closed the curtain, found a stool, pushed me next to my dad, and sat next to me.

My dad kept his head in his hands, whimpering from time to time.Grandma's breathing is very even.Beads from my broken thread landed on my trousers, smudged one after another.That night, none of us spoke a word.The night is so quiet, the sound of breathing is so clear.Catch up, catch up.The twisted heart is a little more relaxed.Before I knew it, I leaned against Mu Xizi and fell asleep.When he woke up, the sun had risen.My dad is gone.I put a blanket on my body, watching Mu Xizi walking in with a basin.

"You're awake." Saying that, Mu Xizi smiled at me.It can be seen that Mu Xizi suffers from following me.Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes looked tired.I feel a little ashamed.Mu Xizi put the basin by the table: "Your dad has gone to buy breakfast." I watched Mu Xizi squeeze the water out of the handkerchief, then walked over and picked up grandma's hand and wiped it slowly: "My grandma is in the hospital bed. When I went to school, I often saw grandpa doing this. Now that I think about it, I can only do these simple things." After speaking, I saw Mu Xizi's faint smile.

I felt sore in my heart, sniffed quickly, and took the handkerchief from Mu Xizi's hand: "I'll do it." Mu Xizi didn't argue, and handed the handkerchief to me naturally.I sat on the edge of the bed and wiped my grandma's palms and fingers clean.Time has drawn deep and shallow ravines on grandma's hands, telling the passage of time.Grandma's skin is rough and dry, but I don't feel it hurts my hands. On the contrary, I feel very comfortable and warm in my hands.

After wiping, Mu Xizi took the handkerchief over and handed it to me after cleaning.When I took the handkerchief, I saw Mu Xizi's slightly raised mouth, and felt very at ease.Turn around and continue to take grandma's other hand to wipe.

When my dad came back, he handed us the buns in his hand, then sat back in his seat and stared at the sleeping grandma.I held the bun in my hand but couldn't eat it.Mu Xizi came over and reminded me in a low voice: "Eat as much as you want, you have to support your body to guard grandma." I glanced at Mu Xizi, she was sending the buns to her mouth with a big mouthful, her eyes were full of sincerity .I also followed suit.

After eating, we sat in a row, and my dad slowly opened his mouth: "At the beginning of the year, your grandma fainted in the kitchen and was sent to the hospital. She woke up and wanted to go home. After a few days, she fainted again. The doctor said it is better to stay. The hospital will observe it for a few more days. The old man’s body functions will stop at any time. Your grandma is unwilling to stay in the hospital, saying that she will die at home if she dies. I heard that you have passed the postgraduate entrance examination, and she fainted again from excitement She was relieved this time when she was sent to the hospital, and she must last until you pass the exam.” As he spoke, my dad supported his head, and his voice became hoarse: “It’s just that she can’t wake up recently, and she can’t wake up when she wakes up. Just a few simple words and fell asleep again..."

I listened quietly, carefully looking at grandma's sleeping face, hoping that she would open her eyes and see that I was back.

Tianen rushed to the hospital at noon.Our family sat around the bed, watching grandma silently.The nurse came to change the medicine on time and reminded us of the precautions.In order for our family to better protect grandma, Mu Xizi took up the responsibility, running in and out, riding on and off.I know she wants us to spend more time with grandma.

In the afternoon, grandma opened her hazy eyes slightly, and we all jumped in front of her in surprise, but grandma was speechless and looked at us with deep eyes.My eye sockets are instantly moist.Seeing grandma's shaking fingers, I stopped immediately.Tian En also sobbed.Grandma blinked and blinked, and fell asleep again after a while.

When grandma woke up again, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and she was much more energetic than in the afternoon.Tian En suppressed her tears, sat beside her grandma and chatted with her, while I sat on the side, clutching Mu Xizi firmly in my hand, feeling twitching and uncomfortable.My dad raised grandma's bed a little higher, and grandma slowly glanced over us with bright eyes.Grandma raised her hand slowly, before her hand touched the oxygen mask, my dad had already removed the oxygen mask from grandma's face.

Grandma looked at us happily, and slowly opened her mouth: "You are all back." Grandma's words touched the hearts of all of us, and everyone's eye sockets began to moisten again.Grandma held out her hand to me, and I grabbed it.Grandma glanced at Tianen again, and started nagging as usual: "You are two siblings, you have broken bones and are still connected to the scriptures, what's the matter with Tianen, please take care of me as a big sister." Grandma put her eyes on On me, my head was like pounding garlic, and I immediately agreed.Grandma said to Tianen again: "You're a younger brother, so if you have any problems, you can do your part. Don't always try to take advantage of your sister." Tianen nodded while sniffing.Grandma turned her head to look at my dad again: "You, the children are grown up, so stop worrying about them."

My dad tried his best to stabilize his emotions and shouted: "Mom, I understand."

Grandma smiled and looked at Mu Xizi again: "Mu Xizi is here, really, Duo Duo troubles you again."

Mu Xizi shook his head: "Don't bother. Duoduo is taking care of me."

Grandma swept her gaze over us one by one, then patted my hand, and stretched out her hand to hold Tianen again: "It's good that you are all back." Grandma said as she closed her eyes slowly, and then He opened his eyes again abruptly, and muttered: "That's great." After finishing speaking, he slowly closed his heavy eyelids, leaned back and fell asleep again.The tears that everyone held back rolled down again.My dad leveled the bed, put the oxygen mask on grandma, and continued to stay by her side.Tianen and I are also next to each other, inseparable.Mu Xizi's phone rang, and she hurried out of the ward to answer it.

Time walked slowly, grandma fell asleep, and we watched silently.I just hope she can wake up tomorrow and have a chat with us, and wake up the day after tomorrow to chat with us. . .Even if it is repeated questions and repeated words, as long as it comes from grandma, it is a great comfort.

We survived midnight and a little bit, but grandma didn't survive two o'clock. At 47:[-], her beating heart stopped beating.There were straight lines displayed on the machine, and Tianen and I were so frightened that we ran out to call the doctor.The whole ward was so noisy that we couldn't sleep peacefully.

When the doctor confirmed that my grandma passed away safely, I turned around and leaned on Mu Xizi's shoulder, crying loudly, and the ward was full of wailing.Maybe our crying disturbed other patients, or maybe there are patients who need to be admitted urgently. The doctor suggested that we transport grandma's body to the funeral home, and the hospital has dedicated nurses.The picture of my grandma holding my hand and telling me to take good care of Tianen was spinning in my mind, as if it was just before me, and I really didn't have the energy to deal with her funeral.It was my dad who dominated the overall situation, and he decisively accepted the doctor's advice.I was crying weakly, held by Mu Xizi, watching grandma being rolled out of the ward covered with a white cloth, pushed into the hearse, and put into the coffin, everything was so natural.In the funeral home, Tianen and I knelt in front of grandma's portrait and wept endlessly.

After the sun rose, people came to worship one after another. My dad started to greet the guests. Tianen was busy back and forth, and Mu Xizi was also busy for me.As for me, I was kneeling on the mat alone, with loud human voices and mahjong sounds in my ears.My heavy thoughts drifted back to my childhood, when my mother passed away.The yard was also very lively, everyone was eating and drinking, making a lot of noise, no one seemed to care who passed away, they just had an excuse to get together.A sense of sadness swept over my body and mind.

"Duo Duo." I walked back from my thoughts and looked up to see Mu Xizi with a tired face.She was holding back her smile: "Get up and eat something. If you kneel like this, Grandma Lin will be sad if she knows." After finishing speaking, Mu Xizi looked at the portrait of grandma: "I think Grandma Lin hopes that you and Tianen can live a good life." Following Mu Xizi's gaze, I also looked over.

On the portrait, my grandma looked at me with a smile, as if she was saying: Duoduo, what Mu Xizi said is right, don’t care about others, care about yourself, live a good life, live a good life. . .My heart softened, and my eye sockets became wet again.But this time I stood up, my legs and feet were numb, and I tilted my body, which happened to be supported by Mu Xizi.I looked at her shallow smile and felt warm in my heart.Whether it is a grandma or a mother, all they want is for their children to be happy and healthy.Standing up straight, I walked towards Tianen and followed him to greet the guests.Arrange for them to eat, invite them to play mahjong, say a few sad words with them, no matter what, everyone has to live their lives.Sometimes I meet Mu Xizi's eyes, we both look at each other and smile, continue to do what we should do, and live a good life.I believe that this is what grandma wants to see more.

When I arrived at the hospital, Duoduo was rampant, causing complaints. I followed her to deal with the aftermath. Fortunately, when the nurse heard that she was going to see a critically ill family member, she calmed down and asked me to remind her to keep her voice down.Walking to the hospital bed, looking at the still dancing lines on the instrument, my nervous heart finally relaxed.Although Duoduo looked very sad, at least she didn't leave any regrets.I have been with Duoduo all the time, every minute and every second is precious to her at this moment.I take the initiative to do things, hoping that she can accompany Grandma Lin without wasting a minute or a second.The next day Tianen also rushed back.Grandma Lin woke up in the afternoon, but fell asleep again without saying anything.Woke up again at night.This time, she took off her oxygen mask and said something.These words are like last words, and I feel uncomfortable listening to them.But I looked at Mu Xizi enviously.At least, she heard Grandma Lin's last words.When it was almost two o'clock, Grandma Lin left quietly.Dodo leaned on me and cried.I don't know how to comfort her.I think it's a good thing to cry.Father Lin listened to the doctor's advice and transported Grandma Lin's body to the funeral parlor, and put on the portrait that he only wanted to prepare.Duoduo and Tianen knelt in front of the portrait and wept.I suffocated and cried.The next day, people came to worship one after another, and Duoduo was very depressed. In order not to disturb her, I helped Uncle Lin greet the guests.But whenever I looked back at Duoduo's crumbling body, I couldn't bear it, so I went to comfort her, and life must go on.Duoduo looked at me, the confusion in her eyes slowly disappeared, she stood up with a flash of bright eyes, but her body was unstable after kneeling for a long time, fortunately, I supported her in time.The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and a feeling of supporting each other through life flowed in my heart.Duoduo seemed to have figured it out, and helped Tianen greet him.I looked at it and felt great in my heart.Looking back, looking at the portrait of Grandma Lin, I told her firmly from the bottom of my heart: Grandma Lin, I will take care of you in the future, so don't worry.
