After Jiang Ye graduated from university, he went to the city where his family traveled before, and planned to settle there in the future.With a diploma and rich internship experience, he successfully got a job offer in a local multinational private company.The official salary for the first month was more than 7000 yuan, and the bonus was more than 1000 yuan.In addition to the manuscript fees Jiang Ye earned from writing papers in his free time, he earned about 1 yuan in the first month of work, which is already a very good result.

After the family moved, Jiang Ye asked around and finally found a suitable hospital for Jiang Shaohui to be admitted.In order to facilitate the accommodation of his family, he also found a one-bedroom rental house near the hospital to temporarily settle down.

The condition of the rental housing is not very good.The location is on the first floor. It is very humid during the rainy season. The wood of the furniture exudes an unpleasant musty smell. The clothes and quilts are prone to mold if they are not dried for a few days.Moreover, because it is close to the garbage disposal site and green belt of the community, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the house in summer, not to mention cockroaches and the like.The main road is right in front of the house, and the noisy street noise will only subside for a moment at eleven o'clock at night, but fortunately he and Tang Daihe are not at home most of the time.

This was already the best house Jiang Ye could rent within the conditions.Although the environment is a bit poor, it is close to the hospital, and there are vegetable markets and supermarkets nearby.

However, when the landlord proposed to pay a half-year deposit in advance, Jiang Ye still had an embarrassed expression on his face.

The amount of the deposit was not a lot. Jiang Ye had just started working, and his family couldn't make ends meet. He didn't have so much savings.

There was no other way, Jiang Ye could only bargain with the landlord with a shy face.Faced with the landlord's ugly face, he abruptly reduced the half-year deposit to four months.

"I'm really sorry, I will make up the payment next month, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Ye kept bowing to the landlord, and the uncomfortable feeling filled his chest, making him breathless.

Looking at the back of the landlord who was swearing and gradually going away, Jiang Ye didn't come back to his senses for a long time.When the painful feeling of humiliation was slowly exhausted, he sighed a long time, and silently called Tang Daihe to inform them that they were going to pack up and move into a new house.

Fortunately, Tang Daihe never complained.Every time Jiang Ye came home from get off work, he would find that the house had been tidied up, and there seemed to be a deliberate fragrance in the air.Looking at the goat lying on the neat sofa, it seems that the whole house has become much warmer.

But the good luck didn't last long.The shadow of life is like a bottomless pit, continuously squeezing the energy of the family.

That night, Jiang Ye was working overtime in the company, only a few lights were still on in the office, and there was only the sound of typing on the keyboard in the air.The night is very quiet, exhaustion comes quietly.Jiang Ye raised his eyes and looked out the window. It turned out that the night was already very dark.

The feeling of hunger slowly returned.I forgot to eat dinner because I was too busy, so I will only have some takeaway to fill my stomach.Jiang Ye looked away from the bright computer screen, rubbed his swollen temples, turned on his phone and looked at it for a while.The ones that are too expensive are reluctant to order, and the ones that are too cheap can’t be full.Jiang Ye glanced at the checkout, and the delivery fee was actually more expensive than takeaway.

Forget it, it's not easy for anyone who is still working at this point.Just stop by the convenience store on the way home and grab something.

As a new employee, the pressure from his family was overwhelming, so Jiang Ye inevitably had some problems of eager for quick success, and he wholeheartedly hoped to get promoted and raise his salary as soon as possible.So he keeps his head down and works hard all day, hoping that his boss will notice his efforts.Happily, his boss really gave him an important assignment last week.This is the first project he is personally responsible for, so he must perform well.

In order to improve such a project, he really spent a lot of hard work and time, and he didn't get home from get off work until ten o'clock in the evening for a week.

Today Jiang Ye is still sitting in front of the office computer and typing on the keyboard as usual. If there is no accident, the business plan will be finalized tomorrow.Add more oil and get over it.

Jiang Ye calmed down and continued typing on the keyboard, but after a while, the mobile phone on the table rang suddenly.Jiang Ye's thoughts were interrupted at once, and he answered the phone in a hurry.

"Hey?"

"Jiang Ye, are you still working overtime?"

Hearing Tang Daihe's hoarse voice, Jiang Ye's attention was immediately focused.

"Well, I guess it's half an hour. What's the matter, Mother?"

Since Jiang Ye found a stable job, the family maintained a balance between Tang Daihe taking care of Jiang Shaohui wholeheartedly in the hospital and Jiang Ye working hard to earn living expenses for the family.But whenever Jiang Ye was free, he would still go to the hospital from time to time.His weekends are basically spent in Jiang Shaohui's ward.This period of time is a transitional period for their family. Jiang Ye's income is not high, and life is very difficult; Jiang Shaohui's illness has not improved for the time being; great.

And Tang Daihe also sympathized with her son's hard work, and she rarely called Jiang Ye at this time.Is there something urgent today?Jiang Ye's nerves suddenly became tense.

The other end of the phone hesitated for a while, and when he spoke again, there was a bit of crying: "Jiang Ye, your father suddenly developed a high fever, I..."

When Jiang Ye heard the bang, he almost couldn't use his hand to hold the phone.The exhaustion of working overtime until late at night, coupled with the shock brought by this call, made his head confused.

"How did this happen..." Jiang Ye's heart was filled with anxiety when he realized it, "Mom, what did Dad do this afternoon! Why did you suddenly have a high fever?"

Tang Daihe's voice became even more anxious, "It's nothing unusual—in the afternoon, I pushed him out for a walk in the small garden of the hospital, and then came back to feed him porridge and take a bath..."

"Then why did Dad have a high fever?" Jiang Ye rubbed his temples, got up and stood by the window, his ears buzzing, "How is Dad now?!"

"He was so hot that he was lying on the bed without moving..."

Jiang Ye wanted to force himself to calm down, but his thoughts couldn't be cleared like a clogged utility room: "Mom, have you told the nurse yet?"

"I've said it," Tang Daihe paced uneasily, "I, I will notify the nurse right away. The nurse will come to take a look after she said so. I'm flustered to be alone..."

"I'll come over and have a look right away!"

Jiang Ye simply gave up thinking, directly turned off the computer, pulled out the USB flash drive and put it in the bag, tucked the bag under his arm, grabbed his coat, and walked towards the elevator.

By the time Jiang Ye took a taxi to the hospital, it was already 10:30 in the evening.The taxi fare was nearly 60 yuan. In a panic, Jiang Ye grabbed some cash and handed it to the driver.

Jiang Ye strode to the inpatient ward, where Tang Daihe was anxiously waiting for him at the door.Seeing Jiang Ye coming, he hurriedly opened the door: "The nurse has put on the needle just now, and now your father's fever is slowly going down, and he is better..."

Jiang Ye stood in front of Jiang Shaohui's hospital bed. Jiang Shaohui was lying quietly in the bed, staring at the hanging bottle hanging high.

Jiang Ye heaved a sigh of relief, took some breaths, and looked at the messy Tang Daihe, "Mom, have you found the reason?"

Tang Daihe sighed: "The doctor said it might be a little cold..."

Jiang Ye suddenly had a lot of complaints in his mind, but he suppressed himself not to blurt out.Tang Daihe in front of him had messed up hair, with a panicked and sad expression on his face.He couldn't say it, he knew that his mother was also feeling bad.She was too tense and worked too hard every day.

Jiang Ye turned around and gave Tang Daihe a gentle hug, comforting her in a low voice: "Mom, it's fine."

Tang Daihe grabbed Jiang Ye's collar, and his shoulders trembled slightly.Jiang Ye let go of his hand with a sigh, and Jiang Shaohui, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke hoarsely: "Jiang Ye..."

Jiang Shaohui called Jiang Ye's name, and Jiang Ye quickly ran to him and squatted down: "Dad, what's wrong?"

"I feel a little sick to my stomach..."

Jiang Ye was taken aback: "Didn't eat anything at night?"

Tang Daihe stepped forward with a frown, and said worriedly: "I only fed some porridge. Could it be that I have a little reaction after getting an injection?"

"I'll go buy something for Dad." Jiang Ye got up immediately, "Dad, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Shaohui thought for a while, and slowly said a name.It was a rice noodle shop that he liked very much during this period, and the taste was light and moderate.It's just that the location is a bit out of the way, and it's a bit far from the hospital. It takes more than half an hour by bus.

"Okay," Jiang Ye agreed immediately without thinking, "I'll go buy it. Dad, you should have a good rest first."

After walking out of the hospital, Jiang Ye realized that there was no longer that bus at this point.Fortunately, I can still catch the subway.Jiang Ye quickly trotted for one kilometer to the nearest subway station, took two stops, and changed trains again before arriving at his destination.

The rice noodle shop will close in a few minutes.When Jiang Ye ran over, the boss was hooking the sliding door with an iron rod.He was so anxious that he directly blocked it with his palm, which almost didn't hurt.

"Hey!" The boss turned around, and was so frightened that he quickly pushed up the rolling door with a pole, "Isn't this Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Ye panted heavily from exhaustion, then raised his head and smiled embarrassingly: "Uncle, that—my dad suddenly wants to eat your rice noodles tonight. I'm sorry, can I trouble you to make another order today? "

The boss smiled helplessly, "It's a coincidence that you pinched it at this time. What's the matter, Old Jiang's appetite is not good today?"

Jiang Ye nodded anxiously, and said again: "My dad recognized the taste of your home, and only prefers the rice noodles you make."

The boss laughed, and had no choice but to go back into the store and turn on the light: "Okay, then I'll make another one. You can find a stool to sit on for a while, I'll be ready soon..."

Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, found a seat casually and sat down.It wasn't until the smell of rice noodles wafted from the back kitchen that he realized belatedly that he hadn't eaten dinner all along.

Although I was hungry, I couldn't care less.The boss brought out rice noodles, Jiang Ye paid the money and left in a hurry.

Seeing Jiang Shaohui eating delicious rice noodles at the dining table, Jiang Ye's mood gradually improved.

Tang Daihe helped Jiang Shaohui wipe his mouth and pass water from time to time.Later, by chance, she saw Jiang Ye just watching without making a sound, so she stood up, walked up to Jiang Ye and asked him in a low voice, "Jiang Ye, are you so busy working overtime at night that you forgot to eat?"

Jiang Ye admired his mother's keen observation ability, and smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I'll just buy something to make do when I get home later."

"Sigh..." Tang Daihe shook his head, touched Jiang Ye's shoulder, "Thank you, son."

"It's okay, Mom." Jiang Ye smiled, and Jiang Shaohui suddenly twitched and vomited.

The two turned pale with fright, and Tang Daihe hurried over to dispose of Jiang Shaohui's vomit.Some chewed rice noodles splashed on Jiang Shaohui's body, causing a disgusting fishy smell to permeate the whole ward.

"Slow down, slow down..." Tang Daihe turned around anxiously, poured a glass of water for Jiang Shaohui, and helped him to sit up, "Come on, take a sip first, let's go. Slowly——"

It's all messed up.Jiang Ye frowned tightly, and rang the bell to call the nurse.He turned his back, all the bad things piled up, and his spirit was about to go berserk.

As if realizing something suddenly, Jiang Ye's expression changed suddenly.Tang Daihe noticed the change in his expression, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Ye saw the bag he had thrown on the stool just now, picked it up and said to Tang Daihe: "Mom, help Dad first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back."

Jiang Ye went to the nurse's station, and he saw a nurse typing documents on a computer.He walked over anxiously, bent down and said to the nurse, "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Nurse. Can I use this computer? I have some things in the USB flash drive, I want to check..."

Seeing Jiang Ye's flustered expression, the nurse agreed.Jiang Ye plugged in the USB flash drive and couldn't wait to open the document with the project proposal.But the more he read, the more his heart sank.

When he was in the company just now, he received a call and left in a hurry, forgot to save and turned off the computer directly.Sure enough...the file was corrupted.The part covered by the update is also completely missing.

At that moment, many methods flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.what to do?Revamped?But it's almost twelve o'clock now.In addition to being so busy just now, he has forgotten a lot of content.Find a technician to fix the document?However, the specialized technicians will not go to work until two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and it will be too late for the deadline for the project proposal.What's more, it's not certain whether the repair is good or not...

Jiang Ye's mentality suddenly collapsed.

This was the first task assigned to him by the leader, and he messed up the first step.A stable future is far away, and there is a family behind him who needs to support him, what should he do...

Physical load, mental fatigue, a small fuse detonated all the pressure.

I don't know when, my legs came to the toilet in disobedience.Lock the door and completely isolate yourself from the outside world.

When his consciousness gradually regained consciousness, Jiang Ye found that he had burst into tears, and was so painful that he choked up and lost his voice.

In countless days and nights like this, Jiang Ye would have imagined crying without any scruples like now.Abandon all worries and fears, let go of the bondage and cry, and release all the suppressed negative emotions.

In front of his family, he wants to be a pillar and a good son.He is no longer living alone, he has a family that needs him to support.

But this kind of life is really too tiring and tiring.Pain and exhaustion seemed endless.

How often, he really hoped that all this was just a dream he had.When he wakes up, he still sits in his high school class, has dinner with his family on weekends, and then goes for a walk in the park with his younger brother and walks the dog for a while.Only now did he realize... how happy the days of studying were.

When he was a child, he lived under the umbrella of his parents every day and lived a carefree life.But overnight, his parents fell down, and he had to work hard to stand up.He was forced to grow up.Life suddenly and brutally tore away its disguise, revealing what it really was.It turns out that adult life is so hard.

Tang Li, if you were here, you must be sad too.In fact, brother is not as strong as you think.My brother was just... a coward.

The wind outside the window whined against the glass.Jiang Ye wiped away his tears and straightened up again.

He sorted out his emotions and made his expression more calm.When he was ready, Jiang Ye pushed the door of the compartment again and walked out.The light in the bathroom was a bit dazzling, Jiang Ye washed his cheeks with water, then walked towards Jiang Shaohui's ward.

Days will go on.
