The gastroenterology department of the inpatient department of the Children's Hospital is always overcrowded.The smell of disinfectant is always annoying.

Zheng Yuan sat beside Tuantuan's hospital bed, watching the family members and nurses of another little boy in the same ward come in and out, and his typing fingers on the laptop keyboard couldn't help but slow down.

Originally, he wanted to write a manuscript while Tuantuan was asleep, but at this moment Zheng Yuan realized that his efforts were wasted.

In such an environment, it was rare for Tuantuan to fall asleep peacefully.

Zheng Yuan looked at Tuan Tuan's bulging little face, which was no longer as rosy as usual.Eyelashes lie listlessly on the lower eyelid.Even the hair has lost its usual luster.

Zheng Yuan put away the computer and put it in a metal locker, went to the bathroom, wet a towel with warm water, and wiped Tuantuan's cheeks.No wonder, after almost two days of tossing, Tuantuan's grandma couldn't bear to be persuaded to go home to rest, let alone the children.

Even in sleep, the infusion cannot be stopped.Zheng Yuan sat down on the chair beside the bed, looked at the infusion tube connected to the left hand on the other side of the bed, and took a breath in his heart.

He stretched out his hand to hold Tuantuan's right hand. Although the temperature of the air-conditioning in the ward was moderate, the palm of his little hand was still sweaty.

Holding a child's hand like this is already more than ten years ago.I remember that on the night of Ouyang's mother's accident, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility to accompany Ouyang who was alone at home through the night without his family.

At that time, Ouyang was only 6 or 7 years old.In fact, I don't know what an "accident" is.On the other hand, Zheng Yuan, who may have been dizzy from the high fever, wiped away his tears in disbelief.

Zheng Yuan smiled because of the disappointing past, and looked back to see that Tuantuan was still sleeping soundly.

Under the comfort of his parents, the clinical little boy finally stopped crying, drank the liquid food prepared at home, and lay down obediently.But in the gap, he could still hear him whimpering and acting like a baby to his parents.

"It's not easy being a father." The little boy's mother leaned over and whispered to Zheng Yuan with a smile.

Zheng Yuan smiled embarrassedly, and explained: "My niece. Her parents are busy with work, so they can't leave."

The little boy's mother nodded in understanding, and said, "Really, these bosses now wish that their employees would spend 365 days at work. It is more difficult than anything else to want a vacation."

"That's true."

The little boy's mother lowered her voice again and said, "Visiting time will be over in one hour. I heard that you are not allowed to stay in bed at night. What is your family going to do?"

Zheng Yuan was taken aback.I was so busy running around the hospital today that I finally sat down and almost forgot about it.

"What about your family?" Zheng Yuan asked tentatively.

"It is said that the female family members can stay in bed with me, and I will accompany you at night." The little boy's mother still whispered, seeing Zheng Yuan's embarrassed face, and said: "Can the child's mother come over at night? You have to fill out the application form in advance. If not You can go to the doctor to discuss it, and you can’t let the child stay overnight alone. There are too many children, and the nurse may not be able to take care of them.”

After hearing this, Zheng Yuan quickly let go of Tuantuan's little hand, asked the clinical parents to take care of him, and then went to the service desk to confirm.

"Only women can accompany the bed, what about the child's mother?" Zheng Yuan originally thought that he could brush his face, but unexpectedly the little nurse at the service desk responded indifferently with a busy and anxious face.

"Yes, the mother of the child will come later."

"Fill out the form." After hearing this, the little nurse handed over an application form without saying a word.

After Zheng Yuan heard this, he held the application form in his hand and thought about it. Grandma Tuantuan had high blood pressure. She was nervous and busy with work today, so it would be too much to come to bed with her at night.I'm a big man, it's okay, the hospital won't allow him to accompany me in bed.This matter seems to have to come to Tuantuan's mother.

When everything is peaceful, identity can be defined in any way.But once encountering something like illness, identity becomes extremely important, especially being able to become a family member, a close relative, at least to be able to sign various forms.

Zheng Yuan called Tuantuan's mother in the corridor.But before there were two rings, he was hung up by the other party.

Zheng Yuan clicked his tongue, and when he was about to change the message, Tuantuan's mother called.

"I'm still in a meeting, how is Tuantuan?" Zheng Yuan just picked up the phone when he heard Tuantuan's mother's anxious voice.

"Don't worry, I just ate the hospital meal and fell asleep."

The person on the phone let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's really hard work for you. I'll try to get over here as soon as possible."

Hearing what Tuantuan's mother said, Zheng Yuan told Tuantuan's mother about staying in bed.

"You can apply for me first, don't let her grandma come, the old man can't stand the trouble."

Zheng Yuan completed the application procedures for accompanying the bed according to his words, and when he returned to the ward, Tuantuan had already woken up.Sitting beside the hospital bed was a familiar figure, lowering his head and whispering to Tuantuan.

Hearing Zheng Yuan's footsteps, that figure turned around, and it was Ouyang.

"Uncle, Brother Yangyang is here." Seeing Zheng Yuan walking into the ward, Ouyang hadn't spoken yet, but Tuantuan reported to Zheng Yuan first.As if sleeping on a hospital bed, this small world is her territory.

"What are you whispering?" Zheng Yuan smiled at Ouyang, and asked Tuantuan standing by the bed.

Tuantuan seemed to be in good spirits, rolled his small eyes, and said, "I can't tell you."

Zheng Yuan looked at Ouyang depressedly, Ouyang smiled and lowered his eyes, got up and gave Zheng Yuan a chair: "The infusion bottle was almost empty just now, so I called the nurse to pull out the needle for Tuan Tuan. Sit down and have a rest."

Zheng Yuan pushed Ouyang back on the chair and said, "I haven't reached the time for you to respect the old yet."

"It won't be long." Ouyang got up and supported Zheng Yuan's shoulders and put him on the chair.

One seat, not for mothers-in-law, Zheng Yuan was muttering, and Tuantuan covered his mouth and smiled, it seemed that after the infusion, his stomach pain did not hurt so much, and his spirits improved.

Zheng Yuan felt betrayed by Tuantuan, and said to Ouyang listlessly: "Have you been to my mother's place?"

Ouyang nodded, and said: "Grandma went back to Qingyang, and her spirit is better."

Um.Zheng Yuan took out an apple from the blue and white striped cotton handbag on the bedside table and handed it to Ouyang: "When I came to the hospital, my mother asked me to bring it

of.Tuantuan can only eat liquid food now, you can eat it. "

Ouyang didn't answer, and said, "Save it for her for two days."

After saying this, he hesitated to speak, and looked at Zheng Yuan with some worry in his smile.

The last time Ouyang had a conversation with Zheng Yuan in the ward was before Zheng Yuan's father died.Originally, it was the time when he was looking for a job in his senior year, and Zheng Yuan devoted all his energy to taking care of his father.After working hard for more than half a year, Zheng Yuan's father still couldn't make it to the Spring Festival.Until the funeral, Zheng Yuan was too tired to cry.It wasn't until the funeral was over that Zheng Yuan remembered that he forgot to cry in front of Ouyang alone.

Therefore, Ouyang understands that Zheng Yuan has a kind of resistance to the hospital.Looking at his appearance now, it seems that he is no longer so uncomfortable.

Seeing that Tuantuan is in good condition, although Ouyang hesitated, he got up to leave.Zheng Yuan sent him to the downstairs of the inpatient department, and asked with lowered brows, "Are you...going to see Jiang Xiaofan?"

Ouyang said lightly: "Wait for her to get off work."

Zheng Yuan bit his lower lip, the chick nodded as if eating rice, and asked, "Can I live in the dormitory?"

Ouyang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It will probably take a few days."

Zheng Yuan wanted to persuade him like last time, but he was afraid that he would do too much.Recently, I was pushed away by a lot of things, and now it is such an environment, a big man, wearing an old man's shirt full of disinfectant and sweat, and taking care of a baby with a stomachache, Zheng Yuan said no matter how much he said Not exported.He continued to nod and said, "It's really not possible, go to my place to make money."

Ouyang didn't accept or refuse, just said: "Wait for me to sort things out."

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan's heart beat wildly.He saw Ouyang's calm face, and he didn't know whether he was being polite or telling the truth.Thinking of what Jiang Xiaofan had said to him before, he couldn't help telling Ouyang: "Don't worry about what happened, don't think too much, it's really tiring."

Ouyang agreed, but didn't say any more, and waved goodbye to Zheng Yuan.

After sending Ouyang away, Zheng Yuan returned to the ward and found that Tuantuan was twisting his head, staring at the apple on the bedside table, his eyes shining.

"Uncle." Seeing Zheng Yuan coming in, Tuantuan immediately got excited.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Yuan was still resentful of Tuantuan and Ouyang's whispering.

"...Uncle, is the apple ready to eat?" Tuantuan stared at the apple again without losing his mind.She had been injected with glucose during the day, but she was not hungry, but she was hungry when she saw apples.

"No. You still want to have a stomachache." Zheng Yuan put the apple into the handbag, turned around and said to Tuantuan with a mysterious expression: "You tell uncle what you said to Brother Yangyang just now?"

Tuantuan rubbed the back of his hands in embarrassment, and whispered, "I can't say it."

"An apple for you?"

Tuantuan shook his head like a rattle and said, "Aunt nurse said, I can't eat apples."

Zheng Yuan was speechless.Dare to be detoured into a dead end by a child.He sighed, and took out a book of fairy tales brought by Grandma Tuantuan from his cotton handbag, "Can uncle tell you a story? After listening to the story, my stomach heals quickly, and I can eat apples earlier."

Tuantuan puffed out his mouth aggrieved, but the next second his attention was attracted by the colorful fairy tale book on the cover.Zheng Yuan sat down by the bed and began to read the first story in the fairy tale book in a low voice: "Monster".

"Once upon a time there lived a monster in the forest.

Although the monster is a monster, it has the appearance of a person.

Because they look exactly like humans, the little animals in the forest don't want to play with monsters.

A lonely monster came to a small town by the forest.

The people in the town thought the monster was a homeless man, and kindly took him in.Give him a job and a house.

But the monster was still alone.

Because there are so many people in this small town, no one will smile at him. "

After reading this, Zheng Yuan murmured in his heart, who bought this storybook, is it definitely for children?

But he saw that Tuantuan was engrossed in listening, so he continued to read:

"One day, a circus came to the town. In the circus, there are elephants, tigers, bears, monkeys and big snakes; there are also magicians, acrobats, dancers and clowns.

The monster is not interested in the circus, but the monster's boss gave him a ticket, so he also went to watch the circus performance.

Circus performances are actually quite fun.

When everyone laughed, the monster laughed too; when everyone booed, the monster also booed. "

Although there are many slots, after hearing this, Tuantuan still giggled along with the characters in the story.The little hand holding Zheng Yuan's arm also tightened.

"Finally, the clown showed up.

Under the heavy makeup, the clown smiled funny and made everyone laugh.

The monster looked at the clown who kept smiling even when he fell, but couldn't applaud like the other audience.

He found that the clown wasn't laughing at all.There was unstoppable sadness in the clown's eyes.

"Why are you laughing?" the monster crowded backstage after the performance and asked the clown.

"Because it's my job," replied the clown.

"But when you laugh, you're not laughing at all," said the monster.

"But I saw you smiling," said the Joker.

The monster was weird because he didn't make any smiley expression on his face at all.

"Your eyes are smiling because you understand my sadness," the clown explained.

Only then did the monster realize that the clown was also smiling when he looked at him.

The monster felt that he was no longer alone.Because finally someone smiled at him.Even if there is no smile on his face. "

After the story was told, Tuantuan was quite happy, but Zheng Yuan was extremely depressed.It is said that fairy tales are written for adults.This is true.At least, this story seems to be full of metaphors, which makes people unhappy.

Zheng Yuan was still in a daze, he shook his arm, leaned over, spread his little hand, and whispered, "Look, uncle, Brother Yangyang gave it to me."

There was a pink headband on Tuantuan's palm, and on it was a beige cotton bunny stuffed with cotton, smiling happily.

"It's so beautiful." Seeing Tuantuan's happy look, Zheng Yuan rubbed her little head.

After receiving Zheng Yuan's compliment, Tuantuan hurriedly put his hands together and said, "Brother Yangyang said that when I get well, I will ask my favorite person to help me braid my hair."

Zheng Yuan understood that this was the secret between Tuantuan and Ouyang.He raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

"Uncle, do you have a girlfriend?" Seeing Zheng Yuan's sweet smile, Tuantuan asked in a low voice.

Children who have just entered kindergarten now know so much.Zheng Yuan quickly shook his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tuantuan continued to say in a childish voice, "The nurse who gave the injection asked."

Zheng Yuan sighed and patted Tuantuan on the head: "Tuantuan will worry about uncle too."

Tuantuan thought for a while and continued to ask: "Uncle, do you like brother Yangyang?"

Zheng Yuan was taken aback, what did Tuantuan's mother teach this child.

"My brother is my uncle's friend, so of course I like him."

"Did the book say just now that if you like someone, even if you cry, you still have a smile in your eyes." Tuantuan puffed his mouth, as if recalling the story just now.

"Haha, look, uncle isn't crying." Zheng Yuan said, blinking at Tuantuan.

Tuantuan looked at Zheng Yuan's face carefully, tilted his head and said earnestly, "No, it's my brother who is smiling in his eyes."
