like the wrong way

"Uncle Ji, I dare to tell you everything directly, so I am fully prepared. Even if you tell others about the situation at that time, no one will believe it. After all, a high school student who is both good in character and learning and helpful More believable than a frustrated middle-aged alcoholic and domestic violence. Of course, besides me, there are other witnesses who can prove that you and Aunt Chen were in a coma when we arrived at the scene. Do you know that in order to ensure authenticity, Aunt Chen really Knocked herself out with a slight concussion, and she was dizzy and nauseous before I came over."

Ji Gang still remembers the expression of the child named Fang Xi when he said these words, it was so serious and solemn, without the slightest timidity towards adults, and there was even a hint of threat in the words.

"You are much older than me, and you naturally know more about the truth than I do. I don't want to say anything superfluous, but I just want to tell you that if you still remember the 20-year relationship with Aunt Chen, and you still think of yourself as Ji Lingyang's father. It’s good to try to understand them, understand why these two people who should be closest to you are forced to this point. After all, everyone has only one life.”

Fang Xi left after leaving these words, while Ji Gang lay alone on the hospital bed, looking at the pale ceiling, his memory gradually recovered.It was the same when he briefly woke up from the coma last night, lying alone on the cold ground, his eyes could only open a gap, and all he could see was a small piece of the ceiling.At first, Ji Gang's heart was still filled with anger. Why hasn't anyone come to help him after he's been lying down for so long?What about Ji Lingyang, is this ungrateful bastard who caused him to fall, so he is not worried at all?Where did he go, and how long was he going to leave him here alone?

As time went by, Ji Gang's body became colder and colder. He couldn't tell whether it was because the alcohol dissipated, or because of the slowly flowing viscous liquid he saw from the corner of his eye.He couldn't control his body at all, and he couldn't even make a sound. It seemed that he was the only one left in the world. The aroma of food floating in the air, and the faint sound of the TV from the next door seemed to be as distant and false as in a dream.Am I dying?Ji Gang was so scared for the first time.His heart was screaming and trembling, and he had completely lost the majesty of being the head of the family.

So, when he heard his wife's gentle voice, he was so excited that he almost cried.However, he waited for a long time, and what he got was a gleaming sharp knife and the phrase "Let him go, I'll accompany you." At that moment, Ji Gang's mind was blank, there was no anger, no disappointment, and even a trace As it should be, the feeling is probably hopelessness.

So even after being rescued, Ji Gang's heart was still cold, and he didn't completely lose consciousness until he was carried into the ambulance.

Thinking of all this, Ji Gang closed his eyes in pain.He didn't like to admit that he was a failed husband, a failed father, but it turned out that he had failed to the point where those closest to him wanted to get rid of him even if they died together.Those pasts that he deliberately ignored were not forgotten with the passage of time, and they were deeply engraved in the hearts of his wife and children.

Just when he felt sore eye sockets, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Fang Xi walked in with a dinner plate.He helped Ji Gang sit up, pushed the mobile dining table, and said with an unfriendly expression: "I asked the doctor, Uncle Ji, your injury is not serious, and you can eat on your own. So I went to buy some digestible food." Meal, you are a little late."

Ji Gang couldn't see through this child even more. He was clearly only his son's classmate, but he cared so much about his family's affairs.His own son never took a look at him, but he stayed here all the time. Even though his eyes were full of contempt, he did nothing wrong in what he should do.

He took the chopsticks handed over by Fang Xi, frowned and asked, "Why do you take care of me?"

"I'm not taking care of you, I'm helping Ji Lingyang." Fang Xi poured a glass of water and put it beside him, then sat back on the chair and continued to read his vocabulary book, "As an enthusiastic middle school student, I don't want my classmates to stay behind because of their incompetent father." It’s a psychological shadow, so I volunteered to help.”

Ji Gang listened silently.

Fang Xi chatted while writing words: "Uncle Ji, you may not remember. In the first month of school, you and Aunt Chen were called to school because of a fight between Ji Lingyang and a classmate. That classmate was me. At that time We are not friends. He always bullies me, copying my homework, tearing up my notebook, and forcing me to pass the answers to him during the exam. I really hate him. But now I am friends with him, and he can help me no matter what I get in return. The kind he takes care of his parents. Don't you think it's weird? Why can our relationship change so much?"

"Because I found that he is not bad to the end, and he can still change. Ji Lingyang is very loyal, he is very kind to the two classmates who have been playing with him, and when they are bullied, Ji Lingyang will stand up for them. He has a sense of justice, Ban The other students in the school were blocked and robbed, and he drove him away. He is also very smart. Since I started tutoring him, his ranking in the class has improved by at least ten. I don’t know whether these advantages of Ji Lingyang are inherited. Since you, but I hope so, it means you've left him something good anyway."

After Fang Xi finished speaking, he ignored Father Ji and began to review his homework seriously.

Probably mother Ji notified other relatives that a man came in the afternoon, Father Ji's younger brother.Seeing that Father Ji was being taken care of, Fang Xi greeted Mother Ji and then patted his butt and left. After all, he and Ji Lingyang were just classmates, and this step was already a little over the top in the eyes of others.

After Fang Xi left, Ji Gang cleaned up his body with the help of the third brother, then closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep, no matter how the third brother asked, he did not answer.

In the evening, Ji Laosan went down to buy dinner for Ji's father.Ji Gang asked the nurse for a wheelchair, and pushed it to Ji's mother's ward, but he dared not go in at the door.After experiencing what happened last night, Ji Gang really didn't know how to face his wife and children. His hand was on the doorknob, and he still had no strength to unscrew it.After hesitating for a while, he still put down his hands, moved the wheelchair aside, and listened quietly to the conversation between the mother and child in the ward.

"...I'm much better, you go to class obediently tomorrow."

"The doctor said that there will be a reexamination tomorrow, so I'll stay with you for a day."

"Do you want to accompany me or skip class?"

"Mom, why do you miss your son so much? Of course I want to accompany you."

"Where do I want you to accompany me? Your aunt will come to take care of me tomorrow. It's almost the end of the semester, and you just said that you have to study hard. You can't skip class for no reason. Besides, we have already troubled Fang Xi a lot. If you don't go In class, he has to ask for leave for you tomorrow, and he will definitely come to you with homework in the evening. He is also a senior high school student like you, how dare you delay his study?"

"Then I'll take half a day off, and I'll go back tomorrow afternoon. Mom, I just want to spend more time with you, okay?"

"Oh, okay. You child, you are still acting like a baby with your mother when you are so old."

"How can I have!"

"It's everywhere."

The mother and son laughed while chatting.

The two inside the door were enjoying themselves happily, while Ji's father outside the door was leaning on the back of the chair lonely.It was he who reasoned his wife and children away from him. Now their happiness and his five senses, even if there is only one door, it will become an insurmountable barrier.

Just when Father Ji was preparing, Ji Lingyang's words caught his attention

"Mom, I've thought about it. Although I can't get into any good school with my current grades, Fang Xi said that as long as I work hard at this momentum, it is still possible to get a second degree in other places. And Fang Xi said that many universities have There is a scholarship. Mom, I will study very hard, and I will definitely be admitted to a good university. In fact, it’s okay if they are close, as long as they are willing to give the scholarship. If it’s not enough, I’ll apply for a student loan, and then I’ll work and study , I will definitely be able to repay the loan when I graduate, and it will not affect my graduation certificate. Mom, can you trust me? We will not starve to death if we have hands and feet. Even if we eat poorly and live poorly, at least Don't worry...Mom, I beg you, just divorce him."

Ji's father's heart went cold for a moment, he never thought that his wife would divorce him, especially when this sentence came from his son's mouth.He held his breath and silently waited for his wife's reply.

Ji's mother seemed to have thought about it for a long time, until Ji's father's hands and feet gradually became cold.He understood that no matter whether his wife agreed or not, there must have been a moment in her heart when she seriously considered this issue.

"I……"

"Second brother, why are you here?" Ji Laosan suddenly patted Ji's father on the shoulder.

This beat not only scared Ji's father back to breathing, but also interrupted Ji's mother's unfinished sentence.

In the next second, the door of the ward was opened, and Ji Lingyang looked at the two brothers with a straight face.

"Uncle." He deliberately did not greet Father Ji.

Ji Laosan knew that his nephew was still resenting his second brother, and he didn't put on airs as an elder, so he nodded gently: "Is your mother okay?"

"It's not serious." Ji Lingyang replied perfunctorily.

"That's good. Say hello for me. I'll take your dad back to the ward."

"Okay, uncle."

Father Ji hurriedly called to his son: "Wait, let me meet your mother."

Ji Lingyang categorically vetoed: "No way!"

"I am your father!"

"Because you are my father, I won't let you see my mother!"

Father Ji was speechless.

At this time, Ji's mother's voice came from the ward: "Xiao Yang, let him in."

"But mom..."

"Xiao Yang, listen to Mom."

Ji Lingyang gritted his back molars and stepped out of the way.

Father Ji eagerly turned the wheelchair and entered the ward.

Mother Ji was sitting on the head of the bed in a hospital gown, her half-length hair was hanging over her shoulders, and her bangs covered half of her forehead, just blocking the bruises on the other side.

"Li Yu! I..."

Mother Ji raised her hand to signal him to stop talking, she turned to Ji Lingyang, smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, I want to eat milk, can you help me go to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bottle? Ji Ming, please accompany Xiao Yang , It’s been a long time since you uncle and nephew.”

"mom!"

"Hey, go and come back quickly."

After sending Ji Lingyang away, Ji's mother beckoned and signaled Ji's father to come to the bed.

Ji's father fell out of the wheelchair, stumbled over, grabbed Ji's mother's sign and said incoherently: "Liyu, Liyu, listen to me, I was wrong, I drank too much and went crazy! I didn't mean it! Liyu, you believe me, I really didn't mean it! You know that I was in a bad mood when I was transferred recently, and I quarreled with my son when I was angry. Liyu, please forgive me again, please, really, this is It's the last time! From now on, I won't hit you again, I promise! I swear! Li Yu, Li Yu, believe me..."

No matter how Father Ji swears and swears, even if he wants to kneel by the bed and squeeze out a drop or two of crocodile tears as evidence of repentance, Mother Ji still looks at him silently, as if these words were not addressed to her.

Father Ji didn't know whether his wife's tranquility had forgiven him or remained unmoved. He could only tightly hold those soft hands that were slightly cold, and said "I was wrong" over and over again like every time before. .

Finally, when he said that his mouth was dry and he could only plead with his eyes, Mother Ji suddenly laughed.She pulled her hand away from Father Ji, no matter how hard he tried to keep her, she did not hesitate.

"Ji Gang," Ji's mother looked at Ji's father quietly, her eyes were indifferent like never before, "Let's get a divorce."
