I have never seen a smile on my father's face since he fell ill. Today, he smiled for the first time. I was a little surprised.
"What makes you so happy?" I walked to his bed and sat down, smiling.
My dad rolled his cloudy eyes, but when he opened his mouth he was not angry: "I dreamed that you got married and gave birth to a big fat boy for me and your mother."
"..."
I was speechless.
A feeling of impending storm suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart. If I didn't change the topic in time, I might not end well.
I still smiled, "Come on, come on, Feifei's mother has agreed to my relationship with her."
The father's eyes lit up, "Really? Then why don't you quickly arrange for the parents of both sides to meet for a meal?"
"That will have to wait until you take good care of yourself first." I helped him tuck in the quilt carefully.
My father's expression suddenly darkened, and the accumulated wrinkles were like ravines in the fields. He sighed:
"It's all because of my poor health, otherwise you might all be engaged by now."
His self-blame made me feel uncomfortable, so I smiled slightly and said, "Don't say that. When you are discharged from the hospital, why don't you come with me to stay in Dadu for a while! Firstly, the rehabilitation hospital over there is better, and secondly Being able to get along with Feifeiduo..."
As I spoke, I carefully observed his expression.
My father's brows were furrowed, like an insurmountable mountain, and his face was as cold as a rock.
"I won't go. If my leg is broken, it will be broken! Don't spend this money. I will spend a lot of money this time in the hospital."
My head shook like a rattle, "That's not okay, don't worry about the money. I have money, so don't worry!"
"If you have enough money, you can use it to marry a wife. It's okay for me to be lame on one leg. I'll be on crutches in the future!"
My heart feels bad, like wine blown by the cold wind, with sourness and bitterness.
My throat was a little blocked. Fortunately, Sister Li also helped me persuade me at this time, so I was able to suppress the turbulent emotions. I thought that my father would not agree to return to Dadu with me at most, but I didn’t expect that he would not even do rehabilitation training.
In fact, I understand that he is reluctant to spend money and wants me to keep the money to marry a wife. Alas... how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are.
The more stubborn he is, the more uncomfortable I feel. I really want to tell him that nothing is more important than health, but he won't listen at all.
I was afraid that he would be agitated, so I didn't dare to say anything more. After a while, I made an excuse to talk.
After coming out of the ward, the sound of quiet footsteps in the long corridor of the hospital could be clearly heard. My mood was just like this corridor, empty and long. Read the book
My parents' attitude was like a sharp sword, piercing my heart, and the familiar helplessness spread in my heart again.
When I reach middle age, nothing seems easier than lying down, but my conditions do not allow me to lie down at all.
When I got home, I went straight to the backyard to tend the vegetable garden. My father used to take care of the vegetable garden. I wanted to see the lush vegetable garden when he came home.
Water, fertilize, weed, as long as you don’t give up, the land will always pay off.
After a busy day, I picked up my phone, took a photo, and sent it to Lin Feifei.
Unexpectedly, she called me.
Her voice seemed to be blown by the wind, "Hey, why are you so leisurely and elegant today, tidying up the vegetable garden?"
I sat down in the dirt, curled my lips, and sighed, "I can't do it! When my dad comes out of the hospital and sees that the vegetable garden is deserted, isn't it still his job?"
"The tone of your voice makes you feel bad?"
I didn't deny it, "Well, I want to convince my parents to live with us in the past two days. Firstly, it will be easier for me to take care of them. Secondly, most of them have better medical conditions. I want my dad to receive better rehabilitation training."
"Uncles and aunts have different ideas from us young people. Don't be impatient and take your time."
"Well, how come you can answer my call at noon today? Are you not at work?"
"I just finished my training today. I have good news for you. I scored 100 points in the secret investigation, hehe!"
In order to improve services, many service industries will have mysterious people make secret visits, and even airlines have them.
I smiled, "What's the benefit of that?"
"Yes! I will take 3 days of paid leave starting tomorrow."
I was shocked, "Are your company's benefits good enough?"
Lin Feifei snorted, "Come on! If the undercover score is not high, you will be criticized and discussed on how to improve the service. If the score is unsatisfactory, points will be deducted easily, and you will not be promoted."
I sighed. It’s not easy to make money nowadays. The stewardess looks like a glamorous person, but in fact, she has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
"Are you still doing live broadcast tonight?" Lin Feifei asked.
"If you don't do it, you'll have a day off today." I'll be broadcasting for three days and taking one day off.
"Then you have a good rest and wait for my call in the afternoon. There will be a surprise."
She and I usually talk to each other once a day, but she actually took the initiative to talk to me on the phone at night, which made me a little flattered.
She asked me to wait for the call, and when the fields and villages were enveloped in the setting sun, her call finally came.
"Hey, Feifei..."
"Husband, come pick me up at the high-speed rail station! I'll be there in half an hour."
The voice on her end was a little noisy and intermittent.
I was stunned, "High-speed rail station? What high-speed rail station?"
"It's the high-speed rail station in your city! I got off work early today and have three days off, so I bought a high-speed rail ticket for this afternoon. Come back and check it out. Stop talking nonsense and pick me up quickly. I'll be there in half an hour. .”
I was elated, it turned out that she wanted to give me a surprise. I consider myself lucky to have such a caring girlfriend.
From Dadu to my hometown, it takes two hours by high-speed rail, but it takes more than half an hour to drive from the high-speed rail station to my home.
Thanks to Lin Feifei for leaving the car to me, no one wanted to take a taxi in our remote village.
I drove to the high-speed rail station. I wanted to press the accelerator to the end, but the country road was not wide, and there were many potholes and stones on the road. Especially the people riding electric bikes in front of me, some of them lined up in a row, no matter how you sounded the horn, They didn't even look back.
The road conditions were extremely chaotic, and time seemed to slow down. Every second seemed as long as a century. The originally forty-minute journey took me an hour to drive. I was really speechless.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at the high-speed rail station.
I saw the familiar figure at the door of the high-speed rail station at a glance.
The dim light shone on her face, adding a hazy charm to her. She looked left and right from time to time, with a hint of anxiety and a hint of expectation in her expression.
My heart was instantly filled with happiness, and I waved to her while running in her direction.
By this time, she had noticed me, jumped and waved at me, and then ran towards me.
The moonlight was like water, and the city lights smeared in the night. The golden street lamps shone on her body, illuminating her eyes as bright as stars...
