"The clear water of Xianglian is moving and the wind is cool."
"The water is moving, the wind is cool, and the summer is long."
"Long summer days, green lotus fragrance."
"There is Miss Yingying, she calls the matchmaker"
"Speaking of matchmaker, I feel lonely sitting in the orchid room."
"Why don't you go into the garden to relieve your worries?"
"See the nine-curved bridge with red railings."
"..."
On the stage, the woman held the pipa and the man held the three-stringed lute. The two played and sang at the same time. Wu Nong's soft words were melodious, and the stringed pipa and cong were tinkling softly and melodiously.
The audience was full of people, the people in the front were shaking their heads, and the people in the back were playing slowly.
Nie Laijin stuffed a peanut into his mouth and turned to look at Su Daqiang. Seeing his frown, he gently touched his arm twice with his elbow: "What's wrong? Look at you. You look listless, didn't you like to listen to this piece of "Yingying Plays the Qin" very much before?"
"No, nothing."
Su Daqiang shook his head and said insincerely.
"Old Su, you must have something on your mind." Nie Laijin said, "I used to ask you to come out to play, and it was a pleasure. Today, you are just grinding and chirping. It's too abnormal."
Su Daqiang sighed with a grimace on his face: "Lao Jin, to tell you the truth, I found that Xiao Cai has been treating me... towards me... recently..."
Nie Laijin was a little anxious. He chewed the peanut kernels in his mouth and swallowed them in his stomach: "What about you? You can tell me."
"To me...it's just different from before."
"What's the difference?"
"You know, when I was young, I loved to write words and poems. Zhao Meilan said it was useless and didn't like me doing it. But Xiao Cai didn't. Just before, before I got married, I wrote poems. , she read aloud, I wrote, she studied ink, and she would also make some serious comments, compare them with the works of people from our city calligraphy association, and talk about their respective advantages and disadvantages. But these days she suddenly didn’t like it, so She went to help me frame the words, but they were left there without movement for a week. I asked her to take a look at my new poems, but she said she was not free."
"I said something is wrong with your recent state."
Nie Laijin picked up a peanut, crushed the red outer layer into pieces, and popped it into his mouth.
"Does she still care about your money?"
Su Daqiang stopped talking. Not speaking was an admission.
Nie Laijin said: "Now that we are married, it will be firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. It is definitely different from before."
Su Daqiang shook his head, still looking gloomy, as if he couldn't accept the current scene.
"Old Su, marriage is like a siege. People in the city want to get out, and people outside the city want to get in. Why can't you understand this truth?" Nie Laijin poured him a glass of water: "Since you are all married , then be more open-minded and don’t behave like a woman.”
Su Daqiang put his hands on his knees, sighed and said: "See what's the use, just go and find me at home. She knew we were coming here to listen to Pingtan, and she almost dropped the bowl. She didn't like hearing this." If you have a lot of money, why not go to the senior citizen activity center in front and play chess and boxing? Also, the paper I use to write on has to be used up with the front side and the back side."
Nie Laijin took a sip of tea.
"What was your situation before? Your daughter paid for living expenses, your eldest son paid the nanny's salary, and your second son supervised him. If he failed, he would be fired and your money would be deducted. What about now? She is your wife now. Mingcheng can no longer supervise, Mingzhe is unemployed, and Mingyu She is also unemployed and has no money to give you. The only thing left is your five or six thousand yuan pension, which is worse than her salary when she was a nanny. How can ordinary people bear this gap? "
"..."
That's the truth, but from Su Daqiang's point of view, it's hard to accept that the woman who used to be extremely considerate to him has become like this.
"So this man still has to be able to make money. Only in this way will others respect you and have weight in speaking at home."
"You said...it would be great if Mingzhe didn't lose his job."
Nie Laijin glanced at him and was speechless at the above sentence.
"It's useless to say this now. You have to be self-reliant and have your own career. You can't stay at home all the time. As the saying goes, beauty comes from distance. Looking at the same face at home every day will get annoying after a long time."
"Career? What can I do at this age? Old Nie, you won't try to persuade me to buy financial management again, will you?"
"Lao Su, I don't like hearing what you said. When you wanted to buy financial management, did I say that the higher the annualized income, the greater the risk? I asked you to buy tens of thousands for fun. You are greedy and lost all 1.8 million. Went in, what was the result? It was all in vain, your daughter even scolded me afterwards. From then on, I made up my mind not to let you play with me if there was a way to make money in the future."
Su Daqiang became anxious when he heard this: "No, Mingyu used to control me and wouldn't let me play with you. She also said she wouldn't give me money if she dared to see you in private. Now she doesn't even recognize me as her father. I Why should you listen to her?"
Nie Laijin said: "Watch the show first, and after that I will take you to a good place."
Su Daqiang nodded, thinking that Nie Laijin was right, a man must be able to make money, and wondered why Zhao Meilan could restrain him in the first place? In addition to his strong personality, isn't it because he is incompetent? If he had money and power, could he be suppressed for more than thirty years?
…
Two months later, November.
The autumn wind is bleak, wild geese fly from the north to the south, the vegetation in the morning is covered with a thin layer of frost, pedestrians on the street also wear thick coats, and children no longer cry for ice cream.
When Lin Yue arrived at the hospital, Su Mingyu was already waiting outside.
The two met each other, and neither of them paid attention to the other. Firstly, they had a bad relationship and had nothing to say. Secondly, they had no time to communicate, because Cai Genhua was walking out of the door with the doctor.
"Let's talk over here."
The doctor led the two of them towards the end of the corridor.
"After preliminary diagnosis, I think your father has Alzheimer's disease."
Su Mingyu's expression changed when he heard this, while Lin Yue's expression remained normal, because he had long known that Su Daqiang would suffer from this disease.
The doctor pushed up his glasses: "You all know about Alzheimer's disease. Do you need me to introduce this disease in detail?"
Su Mingyu glanced at Lin Yue: "It must be Alzheimer's disease."
The doctor said: "To be precise, it is Alzheimer's disease, because your father is only 63 years old this year. With this disease, as time goes by, patients will experience cognitive decline, behavioral disorders, and gradual loss of living ability. There is currently no cure globally, and all we can do is to use a combination of medicine and training to slow down the progression of the disease. At this point, I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance."
"Doctor, can't it be cured by being hospitalized?"
Lin Yue and Su Mingyu knew what Alzheimer's disease was, but Cai Genhua didn't. She had only heard of Alzheimer's disease. As for the pathogenesis and treatment methods, she was completely confused.
The doctor kindly advised: "There is no need to be hospitalized for this disease. Just take medicine on time, do more intellectual training, and pay attention to the patient."
What this says is that there is only one central idea.
There is no cure for this disease.
"Okay, you family members, let's think it over carefully. I still have work to do. If you still don't understand anything, you can come to me in the office." After saying this, the doctor left.
Cai Genhua met Lin Yue's gaze and found that there was a faint smile on the corner of this guy's mouth.
She recalled the conversation between the two people before, and now it seemed...it seemed that he knew very well that Su Daqiang would get this disease.
Regarding Alzheimer's disease, she has never eaten pork, but she has seen pigs running away. She used to hear colleagues from the housekeeping company talk about the people they care for. What she fears most is meeting the elderly with dementia.
It was relatively good to just forget about what I told him. In the middle and late stages, he didn’t even recognize people, wet the bed, had diarrhea, and couldn’t even take the initiative to eat. He had to be taken care of at all times. The key is this disease... live Five to ten years is no problem. It is definitely the kind of disease that tortures relatives.
It's no wonder Su Mingcheng had such an attitude at the time.
"Since the doctor said so, while you are all here, I want to talk about how to take care of your dad in the future."
She called Su Mingzhe just now, but the number was blocked. After asking Su Mingyu, she found out that the boss was in the United States and wouldn't be back for a while, so she could only discuss the matter with the second and third eldest children.
"Talk? What to talk about?" Su Mingyu sneered: "What's there to talk about? You are his wife, isn't it natural to take care of him?"
Cai Genhua's face turned ugly when she said something back.
The wife should take care of her husband, but who knows he will get Alzheimer's disease... She first worked as a nanny for Su Daqiang, and then as his wife. The wife worked for three months, and now she transitioned to a caregiver?
The key is that even the nursing staff despise this disease.
"I am his wife, but you... you are also his children, and you have the obligation to take care of him."
