Preemptive

After Tao Aiguo's wedding, Qi Han took Nian Chaoyun back to his hometown. His grandmother was no longer as good as before, lying in bed most of the day and lethargic.

Tao Aiguo's mother wanted to wake her up, but Qi Han waved his hand and sat by the bed to see her.

After seeing each other again after a few months, the old man was completely different from Qi Han's memory, and even Nian Chao Yun almost didn't recognize her.

She became haggard, her skin was slack, her cheeks were deeply sunken, only her cheekbones protruded, and the corners of her mouth drooped, showing a miserable look. Because of the pain, she kept humming even when she fell asleep.

Qi Han touched her hand on the quilt, it was still dry and warm, but it was too thin, as if there was only a layer of skin left to connect the muscles and bones.

As soon as he moved, the good woman woke up.The old man's eyes were cloudy and confused, and he couldn't recognize Qi Han at all.

Mother Tao said "This is your grandson" in her ear several times, but she still didn't understand it.

Qi Han felt sad, held her hand and said, "I am Mao Mao."

The good woman murmured and repeated: "Maomao... Maomao..."

"Yes, I'm Momo. Remember?"

The old man said: "Maomao remembers! Hello Maomao!"

Mother Tao pointed at Qi Han: "He is Mao Mao!"

The old man was confused again: "Where is Mao Mao?"

Everyone in the room fell silent. Tao Aiguo's mother brought a bowl of peaches, cut them into small pieces and fed them to the old man.

"She is momentarily clear and sometimes confused. Give her a little if she can, and there is nothing else she can do."

"Is she in great pain?"

"It's okay to fall asleep, but it's a little bit when you're awake during the day, and you don't know anything when you're confused."

In fact, it should be very painful.Qi Han knows that my good woman has always been a person with a high tolerance, and never puts pain on her face. In his impression, no matter how tired she is, she is gentle and gentle. The pain now is probably beyond what she can bear. range.

Mother Tao showed him the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Although it is a special medicine for cancer, it is nothing more than prolonging the time so that she can live a little longer.

Qi Han nodded: "The main thing is to relieve her pain."

They were chatting, the old lady who was resting on the bed suddenly looked back at Qi Han: "Maomao, will my illness recover?"

Qi Han was startled, he didn't know whether he should answer her the truth.

Mother Tao whispered, "I recognized you."

Qi Han thought for a while, and forced a smile: "Don't worry, it will be fine."

"Really?"

"Really, when you recover, I'll take you to my house to see the big house, take you to the plane, and take you to eat a lot of delicious food..."

He couldn't continue, because the old man's eyes were slowly streaming tears, Qi Han wiped them for her, but they were still streaming.

In fact, she should understand everything, at least the moment she was awake, she understood everything when she saw Qi Han's face about to cry.

Nian Chaoyun talked with Tao Aiguo's father in the outhouse for a while, then walked in and took out two exquisite and beautiful boxes.

Opened are two bracelets.

One of them is a limited edition of Cartier this year, which can only be bought at the place of origin.

He handed it to Tao Aiguo's mother.

This woman who had worked hard all her life suddenly became at a loss. She didn't dare to pick it up, and wiped the water stains from her hands on her clothes vigorously.

"Ah, this is expensive, right? I can't have it!"

Nian Chaoyun said with a smile: "It's okay, just keep the ones for you, and I'll buy them for you later if you like them."

The woman's face glowed red with joy like a girl's.

The other box, Nian Chaoyun handed it to Qi Han, beckoning him to give it to the good woman.Inside the box lay a beautifully carved but very old gold bracelet, inlaid with red and green emeralds and rubies, with familiar patterns on it, and the words Hengfu Silver Building engraved on the inside of the bracelet.

Qi Han suddenly remembered that this pattern is the same as Hao Po's mandarin duck lock, and the mandarin duck lock seems to have such a mark.

He gently put the bracelet on the good woman's wrist.

Seeing the bracelet, the old man suddenly became agitated for some reason, and tears began to flow down again, babbling and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Qi Han was a little shocked, he guessed something, so he looked at Nian Chao Yun: "This is the same as the lock?!"

Nian Chaoyun nodded: "When I received those two locks, I found Hengfu's imprint on them. Hengfu was one of the largest silver buildings in the South during the Republic of China. The pattern of this set of locks and bracelets is very famous, called the picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water." , I saw it at an auction once. The master craftsman actually carved a complete set at that time, including earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets, but they all fell out one after another. I checked it out and found The bracelet and the mandarin duck lock were bought by a family as a dowry at the beginning, and then the bracelet appeared in a pawn shop in the north alone, so I bought the bracelet back."

Qi Han looked at the ecstatic expression of a good woman and a child and fell silent. There are so many stories about this lock and bracelet that he doesn't know.Nian Chaoyun searched for so long and didn't tell him a word, and he didn't ask for credit. Now when the property is returned to the original owner, it seems to be a very natural thing.

In the end, it was Tao Aiguo's mother who broke the silence: "Hey, it will cost a lot of money to redeem this thing, right?"

Nian Chaoyun waved his hand: "Money is a trivial matter, as long as things come back."

Mother Tao babbled: "The old lady is confused now and doesn't know anything. If she is as clear-headed as before, I don't know how happy she is to see you two! She keeps saying that Mao Mao is suffering, and what she wants to see most is that Mao Mao is happy , now Maomao is better, she..."

The woman was about to wipe away tears as she spoke.

Nian Chaoyun comforted her: "It's nothing, the old lady can see it, she can't say it, but she must be open-minded, as long as you are good, she will feel at ease."

Mother Tao said, "We're all fine, I'm really sorry, thank you for taking care of us all the time, it cost me so much."

Nian Chaoyun glanced at Qi Han: "It's okay, you have helped Brother Han so much."

Mother Tao helped the good woman wipe her mouth and lay down again.

"Hey, what's the point, it's all the neighbors should be, but you, the house is like renovating the house inside and out for us. Two days ago, someone came to our house specially, envious, you don't know, Maomao, that Dishwasher, I said no, he must give it, so Tao Aiguo and I have lived a long life, liberating the labor force for the first time."

After Father Tao finished talking with Nian Chaoyun, he squatted at the door and smoked a cigarette before coming in.Seeing his hesitation and hesitancy, Qi Han tentatively asked, "Uncle, did my dad come here a while ago?"

Sure enough, Tao Aiguo's father's expression changed. Nian Chaoyun took Qi Han's hand and said in a low voice, "I'll talk to you alone later."

Although the old lady is sometimes confused and sometimes sober, it is always bad to talk about some things in front of her.

When Nian Chaoyun and Qi Han came out of their hometown, it was almost dark. Nian Chaoyun booked a hotel in the city center. On the way to take a taxi, Qi Han stared at the familiar scenery outside the window in a daze.

Nian Chaoyun asked him: "You...would you like to go somewhere with me first?"

Qi Han answered, "Are you looking for my dad?"

"……Correct."

"Where?"

Nian Chao Yun thought for a while and said: "In the second hospital. He visited your grandmother a while ago, and after a few days, he had a stroke before returning to the north. It was too late when he was found, and he was sent to the hospital unconscious. , now, although the consciousness has recovered, it is basically a vegetable."

The taxi driver glanced at them in the rearview mirror.

Qi Han moved his fingers and squeezed out a dry "Oh" from his throat for a long time.

Nian Chaoyun put his arms around his shoulders and said, "I've asked my relationship to ask, and it's very slim for him to recover from this situation."

Qi Han smiled wryly: "Maybe it's good for him and us if we don't recover."

"So I want you to decide whether to take him back to the north and find a nursing home for him to live in. If you don't want to, I can also hire a nurse for him here."

Qi Han leaned on Nian Chao Yun's shoulder and slowly closed his eyes: "Let me go and have a look first."

It's strange that Qi Han didn't feel the slightest pain at the moment when he found out about this, but instead felt a sense of relief, heaved a sigh of relief, and seemed to see the sun behind the clouds.

He said, "Xiaoyun, I don't think I'm good."

"what happened?"

"I actually feel lucky, it shouldn't be, he is my father."

Nian Chaoyun couldn't use reason to comfort him, he could only squeeze his hand and say over and over again: "It's not your fault."

When they got off the bus, the driver made up his mind not to charge them, and urged them to go see his dad.He encouraged Qi Han very boldly: "Young man, don't be sad, you are still young and you have a long way to go, everything will be fine."

Qi Han thanked him, Nian Chaoyun scanned the QR code on the back of the driver's seat, and even doubled the price.

These days, good people should be blessed.

They didn't stay in the hospital for long that day, and his father was completely unrecognizable, and he didn't respond to the nurses coming in and out of the room to make rounds and change dressings. He stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.

It's quiet, and it's fine.

The doctor said that his stroke was due to irregular life, excessive smoking and alcohol, intracranial hemorrhage and he was not sent to the doctor in time, and missed the best time for treatment. Now he can only do this first, and follow-up with drugs and rehabilitation to see if there is any improvement. possible.

In the ward, along with his father, there were some odds and ends in his pockets, keys, wallets, and broken mobile phones.

The phone has been turned off for such a long time, and the wallet was bought for Qi Han with his first part-time job money when he was in college. Unexpectedly, he has been using it until now, and the leather surface has peeled off, mottled, revealing the inner fabric.

The wallet was opened, and it was almost empty, except for a crumpled five-dollar bill.In the pouch on the right is a yellowish, small black-and-white photo, with the name of the studio in the lower right corner.In the photo stood a handsome and high-spirited man, sitting beside him was a gentle and beautiful woman with a baby in her arms.

Qi Han looked at it for a while, then put the photo back in place.He walked to the hospital bed, touched his father's head and said, "Dad, let's go home."
