slow and quick

Zheng Man stayed at Ji Lin's house for three days, and his parents didn't come back until the morning of the fourth day.

It was brought back by ambulance, and my mother was put on a stretcher and carried into the house.

Zheng Man was pulled by Ji Lin's father, and stood at the door of his house, watching his mother being sent in, a little flustered, and looked at Ji Lin's father in panic.

Zheng Man's father went in with the stretcher.

Zheng Man wanted to follow in, but was pulled by Ji Lin's father, saying wait, wait until your mother settles down.

He just stood there, not daring to move.

The child was held in the grandfather's hands, and the grandfather came over with the child in his arms, smiled and said to Zheng Man, "Manman came to see my brother, how cute."

Zheng Man hesitantly leaned over to take a look.

Then he took half a step back in disgust.

He had a toothache on his face: "Why, so..."

He swallowed the ugly word back with force.

A subtle reminder: "Why is it so red?"

Grandpa said cheerfully: "All children are like this."

Zheng Man: "..."

Although he has no childhood memories.

But he refused to believe that he was like this monkey when he was a child.

Grandpa gave him a knowing blow: "You looked more popular than your younger brother when you were young."

Zheng Man was shocked.

Uncle saw him staring wide-eyed, with a look of disbelief, and was amused: "Why? Dislike?"

Zheng Man replied with a look of disgust: "No, I don't hate it."

Weird.

"It was red when I was young, but it will turn white when the red fades," my aunt explained to him, "You were very red when you were young, but now you are white and tender."

Zheng Man was dubious: "Oh..."

Just as I was talking, an empty stretcher was carried out, and my father followed.

Zheng Man hurried forward, looked up at his father: "Can I go in and see my mother now?"

The father took the child from the grandfather, and replied casually: "Yes, but don't make trouble with mom, mom can't move now."

Zheng Man responded, and hurried into the room.

My mother was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, her expression a little painful.

Zheng Man walked in lightly, and grandma was pouring hot water to wash towels for mother.

Seeing Zheng Man, she smiled, "Why did you come in?"

Zheng Man called grandma, then walked around the chair, walked to the bed, and looked at her mother.

Mother's lips were bloodless, she looked up at him, smiled weakly, and asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"

Zheng Man's face was full of worry, but he nodded obediently and said that he had eaten.

"Dumplings to eat, stuffed with cabbage."

It made my mother smile and asked him: "Is it delicious?"

Actually not very tasty.

Insipid, as if no salt was added.

Zheng Man lied without saying a word, saying that it was delicious, and asked her mother if she wanted to eat it.

Grandma laughed at him: "You really know how to find time. Your mother can only eat porridge at this time. Ask her if she eats dumplings."

Zheng Man looked at grandma blankly.

His mother rescued him: "It's okay, it's okay, I can eat it in a few days, can Manman buy it for me?"

Zheng Man nodded: "Okay."

Grandma washed the towel, came over to wipe her hands, and asked her if it hurt.

Mom frowned, felt it, and took a deep breath: "It hurts to death."

Grandma quickly pressed her arm, and said anxiously: "Don't move, the wound will open again later."

At this time, grandma also came in from the outside.

Hearing this sentence as soon as he came in, he was shocked: "The wound is open?"

"No, no!" Mom said quickly, "It's because I'm afraid that I might break apart."

Grandma frowned: "Then don't move!"

Mother looked innocent: "No move."

Zheng Man sat aside, watching them busy and talking.

Maybe it was because he was worried that he was here, so he stopped in the middle of speaking.

Grandma and grandma looked at each other, stood up, and said to Zheng Man, "Don't move around here, if your mother feels uncomfortable later, just call out, don't move, do you hear me?"

Zheng Man: "Oh."

He watched his grandma and grandma go out, then turned his head to look at his mother, and asked her suspiciously, "Where does it hurt, mother?"

Mom replied softly: "Tummy."

"Stomach?" Zheng Man looked curiously at the location of her stomach.

Mom was covered with a quilt and couldn't see.

Mom wanted to laugh a little bit, she laughed a bit and then pulled it, her face twitched in pain.

She whispered to Zheng Man: "Pick off the quilt."

Zheng Man lifted the quilt carefully, still thinking about her mother's stomachache, fearing that if she moved too much, it would aggravate her mother's pain.

His mother watched him lift the quilt, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "Do you know how my brother was born?"

Zheng Man looked at her in confusion.

Inexplicably flustered.

Mom carefully lifted a corner of the clothes, revealing the stitched wound.

Threads crawled all over her abdomen like centipedes.

Ferocious, terrible.

Zheng Man watched and was stunned.

The turned out meat is still exposed in the gap between the thread and the thread, which looks very scary.

Zheng Man's head was buzzing, his forehead was tingling, but he couldn't move his hands and feet.

Mom was still telling him that the doctor cut open the stomach with a knife, and then took out the younger brother.

Zheng Man's eardrums were swollen, beating every now and then.

It took him a long time to find his voice, and asked his mother in a trance, "It's going to make such a big cut..."

When I said it, I realized that my voice was trembling.

Not only the voice, but the whole body is shaking.

He struggled to continue the words: "Is it very painful?"

The voice was obviously crying.

Mom laughed: "Such a big cut, how can it not hurt?"

She smiled warmly: "But seeing my child was born healthy, I feel it's worth it."

What she said later, Zheng Man didn't listen anymore.

He stumbled and ran out, causing grandma to call him from behind.

When he ran to the door of the house, he bumped into Ji Lin.

Ji Lin grabbed his arm, pulled him, and grabbed his cold hand.

Ji Lin was surprised: "Your hands are so cold? It's all sweat."

Looking again, Zheng Man's pupils had dilated, and his lips were trembling and pale.

Before Ji Lin could react, Zheng Man's father saw Zheng Man's back and called him, "Manman?"

Zheng Man was trembling, with an intermittent voice, and said to Ji Lin: "Tell me, I'll go with you and play."

Without thinking, Ji Lin immediately followed his words and shouted to Zheng Man's father.

Zheng Man's mother just came back, and there are too many people in the family. Dad can't be too busy for a while. Seeing the two of them playing together, he thought it would be okay, so he told him: "Don't run away, come back when you eat."

Ji Lin glanced at Zheng Man.

Zheng Man held onto his hand tightly, without saying a word, his expression looked as if he had lost his soul.

He said hello, and said to Zheng Man's father, "Then I'm going to play with Man Man!"

Then he dragged Zheng Man to run around the corner.

Turn a corner from Zheng Man's house, and walk a few tens of meters forward, which is the canal.

At this time, there was no one by the canal.

He pulled Zheng Man over, led him again, walked along the canal to the field, and asked Zheng Man in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Man followed him, step by step.

After walking for a long time, I suddenly squatted down, crying heart-piercingly.

He suppressed his throat, not daring to cry, and a hoarse cry came out of his throat.

Ji Lin stood aside, at a loss, wanting to comfort him but didn't know where to start.

I don't even know why he suddenly burst into tears.

Zheng Man squatted there, crying until the veins popped on his forehead, his face was so red and blue.

Clenching his fists, he howled silently.

After crying for a long time, I gradually stabilized my emotions and stopped crying so hard.

Like the guards, Ji Lin looked around, in case someone suddenly appeared and saw them.

Seeing that Manman's crying was getting weaker, he reached out and handed him a tissue, and said softly, "Wipe your eyes."

Zheng Man took it.

He blew his nose hard.

Ji Lin: "..."

also.

Passed another piece of paper over: "Do you want more?"

Zheng Man took it and blew it again.

Then, holding the used toilet paper, she raised her head and looked at him: "More."

Ji Lin: "..."

He handed him the whole pack of tissues.

After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Is that enough? I'll get another pack if it's missing."

Zheng Man took out one, pressed it on his eyes, and sucked up the tears.

Shaking his head: "No need."

His voice was muffled and nasal.

Ji Lin endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked him: "What happened?"

Zheng Man looked at the mud in the field for a long time, then shook his head: "It's nothing."

He didn't even know what he was crying for.

shocked.

I feel that my mother is in too much pain.

Annoyed that she is in such pain and wants a child.

Feeling so angry, but my mother said it was worth it, this is also annoying.

And sad.

Probably both.

He thought about the wound he had just seen, and felt like crying again.

Biting her lower lip to hold back her crying, she shook her head and let out a long breath.

They rested at the edge of the field for a long time before returning.

Zheng Man's eyes were still red, and there were crying marks on his face, which could be seen at a glance.

When Zheng Man's father saw him, he was a little flustered, hurried over, knelt down, touched his face and asked him what's wrong.

Zheng Man shook his head.

He glanced at Ji Lin behind him, and then very smoothly, threw a pot at him.

"Brother Lin robbed me of food, but I didn't, so I cried." Zheng Man said to his father in a muffled voice.

Ji Lin: "?"

Ji Lin felt that he was really wronged.

He looked at Zheng Man in shock, but Zheng Man didn't look at him.

Then the next moment, Ji Lin's father stared at him and yelled: "Ji Lin!"

Ji Lin was startled by his roar.

Ji Lin's father was so angry: "How do I usually teach you! How can you bully my brother!"

Ji Lin: "I..."

His first reaction was to explain that I didn't.

Then, with a wrong eye, I saw Zheng Man's expression looking down at the ground with his head down.

It's a bit distressing to be down and out.

Ji Lin's words froze on his lips.

Rolling back and forth on the tip of the tongue, the justification changed its taste.

The last words I uttered became an apology.

He lowered his head and said to Zheng Man, "I'm sorry."

Zheng Man's father saw that it was just two children who had conflicts, and it was such a trivial thing as grabbing snacks, so he smiled and told Ji Lin's father not to be angry, then took out money from his pocket, gave it to Zheng Man, and said, "Brother robbed us Just buy it again, okay? Manman, be good, stop crying."

Zheng Man took the money and hummed.

Then after dinner, Ji Lin took Ji Lin out to buy popsicles.

It made a few adults dumbfounded.

Just now, he was crying because he was robbed by Ji Lin, and now he is leading him to buy food together.

Really childish.

Temper comes and goes quickly.

One moment they quarrel and become enemies, and the next second they make up and wear the same pair of pants.

And over there, Zheng Man took Ji Lin to the cold drink shop together.

Ji Lin bought Party A, and Zheng Man bought Wangwang crushed ice.

Ji Lin tore apart Party A and started eating.

It was just such a small cube, and he ate it in two or three bites. It was so cold that he couldn't close his mouth, and he breathed out air-conditioning.

Zheng Man tore open the package, walked to the trash can, threw away the plastic bag, and slowly twisted the crushed ice.

Ji Lin saw that he was twisting hard, took it over, and unscrewed it for him.

When he handed it back, Zheng Man only took half of it, leaving the other half in Ji Lin's hands.

Ji Lin was a little puzzled.

Zheng Man bit the top half, pointed to the one in his hand, and said to him inarticulately, "It's for you."

Ji Lin: "Oh."

He looked at Zheng Man sincerely: "Thank you."

"Thank you," Zheng Man explained simply, "We're done."

Ji Lin froze: "Huh?"

I was scolded for carrying such a big pot, is it worth half a broken ice?
