Chapter 19 Epilogue

My name is Fang Can, and I am 38 years old. Five years ago, with the help of my parents, my lover and I lived in this small village far away from the city. Without the hustle and bustle and fast pace of the city, everything They all began to become more leisurely, making me feel that I have entered retirement life early, but such a life is very peaceful and satisfying for me every day.

Li Xiao woke up before five o'clock this morning. His voice was very soft, but it still woke me up, probably because he was getting older and sleep less.

"You can sleep a little longer, I will collect the eggs first, and then catch a chicken"

"It's only five o'clock, and Chen Yuan and the others don't arrive until noon. You have a whole morning to toss around, and you're afraid you won't be able to make it in time."

He smiled: "Isn't that why I move slowly?"

"Okay, I'm already awake, let's get up together." I yawned and got up to get dressed.

"You brush your teeth first, I'll warm up the medicine for you, and then go to the hot porridge"

Li Xiao scratched his head, "It's not busy, take your time, I'm not too hungry yet"

I looked at Li Xiao who was washing in the sink by the door, and remembered that after the operation, Li Xiao was covered with tubes and lay bloodless in the intensive care unit. He woke up after being in a coma for three days. At that time, Dr. Yuan said, You have to be mentally prepared. According to his current physical condition, it takes at least two years to pass the dangerous period. If one of them is not good in these two years, it will be too late to save him.

Li Xiao, who had just finished the operation, was almost paralyzed on the bed. It was normal for him to be weak all over his body. He could hardly take care of himself, and the tubes were not all pulled out. , even more nervous than before the operation, and I can’t stay with you overnight in the intensive care unit. I’m really afraid that one morning when I go to the hospital, it’s already an empty bed. Looking into his eyes, during the one-hour visit every day, I could really feel Li Xiao's fear and helplessness. I don't know if he regrets insisting on having this operation at the beginning, but even if he regrets, so what, everything It's a foregone conclusion, and it's impossible to do it all over again.

After lying in the hospital for half a year, Li Xiao was barely able to leave the hospital. In fact, I did not agree with him being discharged under such circumstances, but he insisted that no matter what my aunt and I persuaded him, he would be discharged. I had to agree first, he had already been transferred to the general ward at that time, I pushed the wheelchair and took him out for a walk at night, in the dead of night, he spoke from the bottom of his heart: "I don't want to stay in the hospital, let's go out and live, just Me and you, in our home, as long as we can, I am content"

I hugged him, tightly felt his body temperature with my body, and told him: "We are discharged from the hospital"

At the suggestion of Dr. Yuan and my mother, I spent half of my savings to buy the current house, which has three floors, and I took Li Xiao directly to live in it, although I had already thought about all kinds of things to do before I moved in. Yes, it is difficult, but when the reality is in front of me, I realize that I still think everything is too simple.

Li Xiao's body is so weak that it is difficult for him to walk, and he can't stop taking medicine three times a day, and this house is just a house with no running water, and he has to go to the well in the backyard for drinking water, and the electricity is even worse. I didn’t pick it up at all, it was still burning on the stove, I was really broken, and it was my dearest parents who helped me at this time. I thought they would return to the city after sending me here, but they said: "Son, we will be neighbors from now on. Mom bought the set next door to you. Look, your father is satisfied with the environment here. How much he likes it. Plant flowers and grass, and catch fish at the door when you're bored."

I just stood there, tears streaming down my face.

Five years have passed since then. In the third year, I took Li Xiao to Doctor Yuan for a follow-up visit. Both I and I breathed a sigh of relief. After we went back, Li Xiao asked me if I wanted to go back to the city. After all, the life here is really too monotonous, but I am really satisfied now, and the two old people obviously like it more here My mother often travels with her friends, and my father sometimes travels with my mother, and more often plays with his flowers and plants, and often chats and plays chess with Li Xiao. His life in his later years is colorful. colorful.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and Li Xiao was cooking in the kitchen. Chen Yuan and Ding Jun drove to our place with their six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. Greeted to me with my daughter: "Call Uncle quickly"

The little girl has been here for two or three years, and she is not afraid of strangers at all, she ran up and circled me: "Uncle Fang, I want to see those ducklings in your backyard"

"Okay, look at it as you like after dinner"

I led them in. On a hot day, I gave each of them a bowl of sour plum soup. Ding Jun asked me, "The one inside seems to be in better health?"

I nodded and smiled: "Yeah, now he is more useful than me."

Li Xiao came out from the kitchen with fish: "Go and wash your hands, I'm done, the only soup is missing, Xiaocan, go and bring out all the dishes."

When sitting down to eat, Ding Jun asked: "Where are your parents, let's call them over to eat together."

"They went on a trip to Jiuzhaigou. They just went there the day before yesterday. They will go for a week," I said.

"That's really a coincidence. Originally, with my uncle, I wanted to come for two laps." Ding Jun said with a smile while drinking.

"Come on, it's only at your level," Chen Yuan said disgustedly.

We haven't got together for more than half a year, and now we meet together and there are always endless topics to talk about. It's lively and lively, and the afternoon passed. There is no nightlife in the countryside. In the evening, Chen Yuan and Ding Jun took a couple of children to the field to experience After living, Li Xiao and I were sitting in the yard, shaking our fans and chatting with each other.

Li Xiao said: "I'm really not used to living the nine-to-five life now."

I said, "Who told you to get used to it? You still want to go back to the city, your body is better and your mind is active again?"

Li Xiaofei came over with a peach: "Who is active? I heard Ding Jun talk about their current company today. Didn't they give us less dividends this year? He was afraid that I would think too much, so he told me about the situation."

"Oh, what did you tell him then?"

"I said it's okay. I didn't think about getting more dividends at first, and I didn't make any effort. I told him not to give it if it was really difficult. We have financial resources, and our expenses are really not big now. It doesn’t cost much to travel twice a year, and we don’t go abroad.”

I smiled. On this point, Li Xiao and I have the same thoughts.

"Let's go, go to sleep, it's almost nine o'clock." Li Xiao stood up.

"Don't wait for them?"

"What are you waiting for, they don't come every time, just leave a door open"

"Not too good, you should go in first, I'll wait a little longer, I'll come when they come"

"Let's go." Li Xiao came over and pulled me: "Let's go to the room to talk." As he said that, he rubbed his face on my bosom.

"Go away! Wait until they leave"

Li Xiao felt aggrieved: "I didn't do anything, I can't touch it."

We dragged all the way into the house, and really forgot about that family, the night was still very long. . .
