[Ode to Joy] My surname is Tan, my ancestor's original surname is Ming

Wang Manchun returned to Suzhou.

In the days when she was hiding from the world, everyone around her was also managing their own sad and happy lives.Andy and Bao Yifan went from being deeply affectionate to discussing marriage, and then a subtle and fierce war broke out between the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; Marriage; Qiu Yingying and Ying Qin can be regarded as guarded by the clouds and the moon is bright, but the married life in front of them is still a piece of feathers; Looking forward to the future.

On November 11, Wang Manchun, who finished the CATTI exam, went to Nantong to attend the opening ceremony of Fanfan Hotel.

As the former fiancée of Shanghai crocodile Tan Zongming, the relationship between her and Tan Zongming is still a bit confusing, so most of the people who came to congratulate him were relatives and friends of the Fan family, while most of Tan Zongming's friends in Nantong were still watching cautiously. It was also very low-key when it came, until seeing the giant flower basket signed by Tan Zongming and Yuanyang, Shi Shiran went to sign in front of the display board as a souvenir.

Signatures gradually filled up, and there was a little commotion at the gate. Wang Manchun heard a little girl buzzing about luxury cars and handsome guys. She was moved in her heart, and turned around from the display board. The handsome guy is not Tan Zongming, but Bao Yifan.

"Hey, you seem a little disappointed to see me!" Mr. Bao greeted with a playful smile.Wang Manchun glared at him, then looked behind him, "Where's Andy?"

"Andy is pregnant, and the reaction is serious, and he can't ride in the car, so ask me to represent you." Bao Yifan signed his name with a swipe of a pen, and gave him a generous gift.Wang Manchun was very surprised when she first heard that Andy was pregnant. In her impression, Andy didn't like and didn't want a child, but seeing Bao Yifan's proud appearance, Andy must have decided to give birth.

The power of love changes the world.

"Congratulations!" She congratulated sincerely, no matter how muddy the Bao family's backyard is, the arrival of a new life is always a happy event.

Bao Yifan blinked, "You and Lao Tan have to work hard too. I still want to make a baby kiss with you."

"Freeze said."

"Isn't it? Andy said that you went to Guangzhou together, so you didn't make up?"

"Andy doesn't know anything, don't listen to her nonsense."

Bao Yifan was thoughtful, "That's true. Once Andy became pregnant, he couldn't go anywhere, and many news were lost. By the way, there is a news about Old Tan circulating in the circle recently. I don't know if you have heard of it. ?”

"what news?"

Bao Yifan looked at her, "Someone in Shanghai's financial circles said that Boss Tan's injury has deteriorated and he might have his leg amputated."

Wang Manchun was taken aback, "What did you say?!"

"It seems you haven't heard yet."

"what happened?!"

"Don't worry, it's all gossip. Andy called Lao Tan, and he told her that it was nothing. But if he wasn't pregnant, Andy would definitely fly to New York to have a look. After all, Tan The boss kept the secret too thoroughly this time, and Sino-Ocean’s senior executives couldn’t understand his specific injury at all, relying on his assistant for giving information, which is a bit abnormal.”

Wang Manchun suddenly realized that only she could see the circle of friends that Tan Zongming posted every day.

Those sunny days and rainy nights, those morning readings and nocturnal songs, those birdsong, insects and flowers, all the trivial and peaceful scenes are what he wants to tell Mrs. Tan alone, Mr. Tan's daily life.

And in the circle of friends after returning from Guangzhou, there is no longer a photo of him appearing on the scene.

Wang Manchun was a little startled.In fact, the image of him lying on the Haizhu Bridge in a state of embarrassment kept appearing in her dreams over and over again after she left Guangzhou.Every time she wakes up from a nightmare, she has the urge to call him to ask him clearly. Every time she dials out his number, but is unable to press the call button, she finally pushes him away. She is afraid that a call will pass, and everything And all previous efforts were wasted.

Although she didn't know herself, whether she was afraid of being entangled by him, or she was afraid of being soft-hearted.

She was quiet, and so was Tan Zongming.He never contacted her except posting her Moments of exclusive authority. She even asked the flower shop for the flower basket sent by the hotel when it opened. It was ordered by an assistant of Sino-Ocean. The day the restaurant opens, the day the flower baskets will be delivered.

At the scene of the ceremony, all kinds of noise seemed to suddenly become the background sound, and even Bao Yifan's smile seemed distant.

"It was spread maliciously by a competitor..." She heard her seemingly calm voice, "He was just broken, and he was not infected or necrotic, so he was amputated..."

"I said yes, it's too vicious. Sino-Ocean has several cooperation projects that are in a critical period. You also persuade him, come out and show your face if you have nothing to do, to appease everyone. Investment is just for news. If there is no good news, where do you go?" To fool the shareholders?"

Bao Yifan was eloquent and expressive, which made Wang Manchun laugh.

After the joke was over, she found that she couldn't remember what he said at all, and the smile was a polite reaction to his tone and actions.

She separated the crowd, went out from the back door of the hotel, walked all the way to the patio corridor on the fourth floor of the shopping mall, and took out her mobile phone to call Tan Zongming's assistant.

"Sister Fan!" The little assistant was pleasantly surprised as always.

"What's with the rumor of amputation?"

"What? Amputation? Oh, you said amputation. No, nothing. It's just a fracture. How can I amputate it! It's all rumored outside, and we don't care about it." The assistant laughed, "Boss Tan is fine. , it’s okay, don’t worry!”

"What is he doing now?"

"He's in...uh, in a meeting, yes, in a meeting with colleagues from Ocean America. Shall I ask him to call you back when he's done?"

"There's no need to inform him." Wang Manchun thought for a while, "Can you take a photo for me to see? Don't let him find out."

"Sneak shot?"

"Your skills are fine."

"It's not good for me to take pictures when they are in a meeting..."

"It's all secretly photographed, so why pay so much attention?"

"..."

The little assistant hung up the line bitterly, and sent a photo 5 minutes later.

In a room where the curtains are closed and you cannot see the light and darkness outside, Tan Zongming is sitting in front of the desk in the single ward, with headphones on, talking to the LCD monitor, with the tip of the pen on the note paper with a few lines of numbers written on it. Leaning against the desk.

Wang Manchun just took one look and his heart sank.

This is not a current photo at all. In Xiaomei's exclusive circle of friends posted by Tan Zongming, there is exactly the same picture.It was indeed a conference call with Sino-Ocean's Shanghai team, but before going to Guangzhou.

She took a screenshot of Tan Zongming's circle of friends with the date and sent it to the assistant.

The poor kid didn't respond for a full half hour.

At eleven o'clock at noon, Tan Zongming directly sent her a WeChat message, which was a ten-second video. In the video, he circled around the single ward, while he sat on the bed with his left leg straight, with a few scattered around his feet. A large sheet of A4 paper filled with text.Two foreigners stood at the end of the bed, and behind the foreigners was a dejected little assistant who had done something wrong.

At the end of the video is a selfie, Tan Zongming smiled at the camera, "I'm really in a meeting, I'm fine, don't worry."

Compared with last month, he looked thinner and his face was a bit haggard, but he smiled at her as always, as if the previous disputes and injuries never existed, and the ring engraved with the double M was still placed together with the three-carat big stone Inside the safe in Jiujiantang.

Wang Manchun re-watched the video frame by frame while suppressing a somewhat disordered heartbeat. No, there was only a wheelchair in the room, no crutches, and there were no crutches anywhere in the screen.And throughout October, his crutches never left his body.

She would rather believe that he doesn't need to use crutches now than he can no longer use crutches.

But that's impossible, the fall of Haizhu Bridge, his injury will only be more serious, not less serious.

Wang Manchun carefully cut out the faces of the two Americans in the video and sent it to Zhao Qiping, "Can you recognize these two people?"

"Hey, isn't this the famous Thomas Sculco! Big man, the absolute authority of HSS, we all know in the orthopedic field. The one next to him should be his assistant. I talked with him once in a meeting in New York. Where are you from? photo?"

Wang Manchun sneered in his heart, Tan Zongming, you lied to me again.The last time "Minglou" messed up the situation, she was deceived terribly, this time she was calm and sharp, and she couldn't hide from the eyes of the agents with a little clumsy trick.

It doesn't matter, they broke up, and she discarded the ring like a bag, it doesn't matter to her if he is disabled, she doesn't care what kind of illusion he wants to create to whitewash what kind of peace.Anyway, he has a lot of money, no matter how miserable he is, he is better than most people on the earth.

Wang Manchun put away her mobile phone and walked towards the restaurant.

As noon approached, the commercial building gradually ushered in the peak flow of people. Various shops played soft or explosive background music. Passing by one after another, the ears seemed to be forced into the music of the greatest mishmash.

She doesn't know most of the songs of this era, and Tan Zongming can't keep up with the popularity. The thing the two of them can sing best together is actually Kunqu Opera.Tan Zongming once joked that if the master of ceremonies at the wedding wants the couple to sing a song for everyone, they might as well come out with "Jade Hairpin".

Listen to her once or twice, every sentence is sad.Judging by her human nature, she is mostly mundane.How can you teach people to continue to send youth with the melody of the piano and the desolate charm?Those are more soft and fragrant, and those are less attractive?She played the Yaoqin alone, and I was alone, mossy and cold, clearly acting in the West Chamber!God, the young Qin Jin has become a young man early...

Walking alone, Wang Manchun laughed silently.

She said that she didn't want to sing Kunqu opera, if she was really asked to perform, she would cooperate with him in performing Zhu Bajie carrying his wife.Tan Zongming was leaning on the bedside to watch US stock news. Hearing this, he got out of bed and ran to the dressing table, and threw himself on her back, "Come on, Wu Neng, your wife is here..."

Wang Manchun was so pressed that he couldn't straighten his waist, and finally lifted him off, and he bent over laughing again.

Smiling and laughing, she felt that the corners of her eyes were a little wet and hot.

Why blame him, he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, she was the one who chased after the wind and rain to ask the result, he was no longer hers, so what obligation did she have to tell the truth.

Wang Manchun shuffled into the Fanfan Restaurant. The ceremony was about to begin, and Auntie Fan, who was in full attire, was looking for her everywhere, "I'm going to take a family portrait, and you're the only one missing! Come here!"

Boss Fan in a suit and leather shoes supported Mr. Fan and stood directly opposite the photographer, full of ambition and high spirits.Mother Fan dressed more than ten years younger than usual, and strode forward holding Wang Manchun's hand, "Xiaomei, your brother is relieved now, he has been busy this month, but he hasn't been lazy at all... ..."

She once told Tan Zongming that the little cashier is a talent, and it's a pity to put it next to Boss Fan. Anyway, this business is just for fun, so don't waste resources.But Tan Zongming said that no matter how unreliable Boss Fan is, it's all the past. With him, he will give a chance to anyone without a criminal record.

Tan Zongming has a criminal record, and Tan Zongming's criminal record is Minglou.His mistake was magnified many times because of Minglou, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't undo it.

As for her, her criminal record is darker and more unforgivable. It is because of his tolerance, tenderness, and unremitting efforts that her rebirth becomes a transformation, not an extended sentence.

Wang Manchun stopped not far from the photographer.

"Xiaomei, hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Mother Fan urged repeatedly.

"I, I may have something to go out..."

"It's time to go out for a while? What could be more important than opening a restaurant in our family? Come here and take a picture before we talk..."

Wang Manchun suddenly shook off Mother Fan's hand, turned around and ran outside.

"Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Xiaomei!"

Wang Manchun turned a deaf ear to it, jumped into a taxi and went straight home, ran upstairs, took out his passport, put it in his pocket, and rushed downstairs, the taxi was still parked downstairs.

"Go to Pudong Airport, the sooner the better."

Four hours later, United Airlines UA087 took off from Pudong Airport.Eighteen hours later, the plane landed at Newark Airport.

As soon as Wang Manchun left the customs, he saw a blond uncle Fan Xingmei holding a MissFanShengmei sign in the arrival hall.She was a little surprised, but the other party called her like an old friend, "Hi Xiaomei, I'm Tan Zongming's friend Henry."

Without waiting for her to question, Henry took the initiative to take out a photo of himself with Tan Zongming and Andy to prove his identity, and then explained, "Andy called us last night, that is, at noon on the 8th Beijing time, and said You lost contact, you probably came to New York, we found out that you booked this flight with United Airlines, Tan asked me to pick you up, it will be faster than you can find HSS yourself."

"How is he now?" Henry walked so fast that Wang Manchun had to stride to keep up with his long legs.

"Did he tell you that everything is fine and there is no problem at all?"

"Yes..." She began to feel a little weak in her steps.

"His comminuted fracture of the patella was fixed with patellar claws, but due to improper postoperative recovery and secondary injuries in Guangzhou, the patellar claws fell off and were pierced by steel needles, resulting in severe traumatic osteoarthritis. The old injury has developed into a local deformity, and the plan we confirmed after discussing with Professor Sculco is artificial total knee joint including patella replacement."

Relying on the concentration gained from experience in the No. 76 Devil's Nest, Wang Manchun did not lose his composure in front of Henry.

"What are the risks?"

"Total knee replacement is a major orthopedic surgery with many risks, patellar joint infection, deep vein thrombosis, heart, lung, and cerebral embolism, lower limb length inequality, nerve and blood vessel injury, femur, tibia, or periprosthetic fracture, joint Prosthesis loosening, displacement, failure, etc..."

"Why do you have to take so many risks?!"

"If he doesn't do it, he will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life."

Wang Manchun bit her lip hard, letting the pain help her to stay calm.

"So... when will the surgery be?"

"Theoretically it is now."

"actual?"

"The scheduled surgery time was four o'clock in the afternoon, but Tan insisted on seeing you first, and even postponed the surgery time. That's why I'm standing here. Professor Sculco's schedule is very tight, if the surgery can't start at eight o'clock tonight , he can only wait until next week. His pain will continue for 160 hours. Xiaomei, you will not know what kind of torture he has experienced in the past week."

It's seven twenty p.m. Eastern time now.

Wang Manchun pulled Henry up and ran towards the parking lot, "What are you waiting for, run!"

Henry overtook all the way, cutting straight from New Jersey to New York like a stunt show.Wang Manchun couldn't wait to go to the parking lot first, and asked him to drive the car directly to the entrance of the hospital building, jump out of the car by himself, and sprint to the operating room by himself.

When she rushed out of the operating room, it was already 55:[-] in the evening.

"Sister Fan!" The assistant jumped up from the bench, "Hurry up, here are the shoe covers, and here are the surgical caps, after you put them on, go in and turn right, the penultimate room is the operation preparation room, Mr. Tan is waiting for you there... "

2016年11月8日东部时间19点56分，她终于扑到了谭宗明的病床前。

No, it's not a hospital bed. He is already lying on the flat car, and in 4 minutes, he will be directly pushed into the operating room.

The moment her eyes met, she really realized that what hurt, what cheated, what forgiveness, what offense and defense, all stubbornness and persistence were all thrown into the Pacific Ocean.She only wants him to be healthy, healthy, alive, and have the strength and ability to harm her for the rest of his life. She admits it, and she is willing.

From Nantong to Shanghai to New York, what leads her along the way is not reason, not self-esteem, not any prudent and sober decision-what she follows is a heart that has long since surrendered, but has never dared to admit it.

"Xiaomei." Tan Zongming reached out to her from under the quilt, "Don't cry, come here quickly."

"Sorry……"

"Silly girl." Tan Zongming rubbed her face, and wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumb, "There is no need to talk about this between us."

She knelt in front of the flat car, and pressed his hand tightly to her cheek, "Why...why didn't you tell me?"

Tan Zongming smiled softly and helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll dislike me."

The word "fool" stuck in her throat, because she wanted to cry all the time, so she couldn't say anything.

"I want to tell you after the operation is over, because I'm not sure whether I can stand up in the future..."

She buried her face in his palm, tears welled up in his palm.

"Did Henry tell you that even if the operation is successful, I will not be able to participate in any sports that strongly impact the knee joint in the future, and I will not even be able to squat... In the future, I will not be able to accompany you in long-distance running, sprinting, mountain climbing, and rock climbing. I can only be there like an old man I will cheer you up, in another 15 years, I have to come back for a redo operation and a new knee joint..."

"I know...he told me all...it's okay, it's really okay..."

"The master of ceremonies asked us to perform a show, and we can't play Zhu Bajie carrying his wife..."

"It's okay, I'll be Zhu Bajie, I'll just carry you..." Wang Manchun held his face, crying and laughing.

"Xiaomei, have you... agreed to marry me?" Tan Zongming stared at her intently, and the bloodshot eyes became more dense.

"Didn't I agree early on..." She lowered her head and kissed his cool and pale lips forcefully, "Mr. Tan, you are the one who refused to cancel or reschedule, so you have to treat it well and get better soon, don't Let Mrs. Tan stand alone at the wedding, acting like a fool."

"Then I'm going to HW to order another pair of rings..."

Wang Manchun covered his mouth, "No need, the ring is not lost, the ring is here."

She pulled out a red thread from the neckline, and a pair of platinum thread rings were strung on the thread, one big and one small, one wide and one narrow, and the two pairs of floral M letters were intertwined and intertwined, full of meaning.

"You..." Tan Zongming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I just threw away the box, and the ring has always been in my hand." She blushed and put the ring into his palm, "I just want you to quit, I never thought of giving you anything you gave me." Things are lost, let alone rings..."

No one backs down, and her self-righteousness just adds another thorn in the already tortuous and dangerous road between the two.

But thorns are just thorns after all.The ending has already been written, and they are destined to meet at the midpoint of the road. The scars all over their bodies are just evidence of their unswerving love for each other.

At eight o'clock, the intern doctor pushed Tan Zongming away.

Wang Manchun walked out of the operating room and sat next to the assistant and Henry.

"Thank you," they said.

"Thank you," she said.

it is more than words.

At [-]:[-], Tan Zongming was pushed back to the intensive care unit.Because of general anesthesia, he was still in a deep sleep.

Wang Manchun stood by his bed, sizing him up inch by inch.He has become thinner, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have become deeper, and there are a few silver strands in the thick black stubble on his sideburns that she has never seen before.

This is Minglou's grandson, this is the descendant of the Ming family, this is the man who accompanied her through the darkest valley, no matter how difficult it was, he never let go, this is the lover she tried so hard to escape and finally met on a narrow road, this It was the fate that was generously bestowed upon her by fate after teasing her again and again. This is her treasure, and this is her Mr. Tan.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the effect of the anesthetic began to wear off, and the man on the hospital bed gradually woke up.

Wang Manchun sat beside him, waiting for his eyes to open bit by bit, the light in his pupils became clear bit by bit, and his eyes focused on her bit by bit.

"Look at this girl, she looks so familiar." There was a familiar smile in his eyes.

"I'm Fan Shengmei, and I'm also Wang Manchun. You can call me Xiaomei." She also responded with a smile, "What's your name, sir?"

He held her hand, "My surname is Tan, and my ancestor's original surname was Ming."
