Thousand Willows

The expression on Aunt Qian's face changed rapidly, but soon she took on the look of a loving mother.

"Yi Chong, are you okay? Mom made chicken soup for you, you can try it." Aunt Qian said, putting the insulated lunch box she brought on the small plastic cabinet next to the hospital bed and opening it, a scent of chicken soup The smell permeated the ward, mixed with the smell of the medicine in the ward, creating a strange contrast.

"Hey..." Liu Minhui blocked the bowl of chicken soup that Aunt Qian brought to Jiang Yizhong.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Qian frowned and looked at Liu Minhui inexplicably.

Liu Minhui let out a piss in his heart, thinking that this aunt really felt aggrieved for not winning the Best Actress Oscar.

"I want to taste it first." Liu Minhui said with a natural look on his face without blushing.

Liu Hao on the side secretly rolled his eyes. In his eyes, the appearance of Liu Minhui and Aunt Qian's acting skills is really embarrassing.

"Liu Minhui, don't compete with me..." Jiang Yizhong pushed Liu Minhui's hand out to chicken soup.

Liu Minhui was extremely tough at this time, Jiang Yizhong couldn't exert any strength on one side of his body, let alone help him, he could only watch Liu Minhui take the bowl of chicken soup from his hand.

So Liu Minhui gulped down a bowl of chicken soup under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Brother Liu..." Liu Hao was stunned as he watched from the sidelines. He never expected that Liu Minhui would be able to do such an operation. This was simply a naked distrust of Jiang Yizhong's mother, Aunt Qian, and then he slipped away. Looking at Aunt Qian who was sitting on the chair, her face was really long.He peeked at Jiang Yizhong again, with a helpless look on his face.

"How is it? Is this chicken soup delicious?" Aunt Qian suddenly forced a smirk and looked up at Liu Minhui.

Liu Minhui's eyelids drooped, and he glanced at Aunt Qian, and while passing the empty bowl over, he said, "Auntie's cooking skills are good, and the chicken soup is delicious."

"Another bowl?" Aunt Qian was still staring at Liu Minhui, although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were shining coldly.

Liu Minhui was amazed in his heart, why didn't he realize that Aunt Qian had a calm and vicious cold heart under the cover of her seemingly ordinary and unattractive fat appearance? up.

"No, let's give Jiang Yi a heavy drink, he needs to supplement nutrition." Liu Minhui said without changing his face and heartbeat, hiding all his thoughts in the bottom of his deep eyes, no emotion could be seen in his dark eyes.

The atmosphere in the ward was extremely awkward, and no one knew what to say.The overall silence echoed the sound of the cold wind outside the window. The air conditioner was clearly turned on in the ward, but the inexplicable coolness still filled the room.

The old lady in the next bed finally broke the short-term embarrassment, she said to herself: "Why hasn't my old man come back yet!"

"Auntie, don't worry, why don't I call and ask?" Seeing the anxious look on the old lady's face, Liu Hao suddenly felt a little distressed when he thought of his grandparents who had passed away.

Unexpectedly, the old lady waved her hands again and again and said, "Don't rush him, don't rush him, he is too tired recently..."

As a result, there was another silence in the ward.

"Yizhong, drink the soup." Unexpectedly, Aunt Qian had poured out another bowl of soup and handed it to Jiang Yizhong.

As Jiang Yizhong drank the soup one mouthful at a time, the atmosphere in the room gradually became harmonious.These few people seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned what happened last night, as if everything last night had never happened, as if the lies they made up were the real facts.The virtuous mother and filial son in front of the hospital bed seem to be as warm and moving as any family.

"You go back and rest, as long as my mother is here." Jiang Yizhong looked at Liu Minhui, and it was like an "exit order".

"I..." Liu Minhui became anxious when he heard this, and was about to refute, but Aunt Qian cut him off.

"Mr. Liu, I'm fine here. My son really troubled Mr. Liu this time. I'll give you the money from the hospital." Aunt Qian still had a smirk on her face.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." After Liu Minhui finished speaking, he looked at Liu Hao and said, "You wait here for Mr. Li to come back."

"Yes, Sir!" Liu Hao took the order.

Liu Minhui left the ward by himself, like a loser leaving the battlefield, obviously still able to fight, but lost the qualification to continue fighting.He found that under the current circumstances, he seemed to have no reason to stay - he felt that he was like an "outsider" between Jiang Yizhong's mother and son. , No matter how you do it or how much you do, you are just an "outsider".

Liu Minhui was frustrated and unwilling.

Liu Hao who stayed in the ward was in an even more embarrassing situation.As another insider of last night's incident, he watched Jiang Yizhong's mother, Aunt Qian, take care of Jiang Yizhong with tenderness in the ward, which made him unable to believe his eyes.But he couldn't keep staring at Aunt Qian and Jiang Yizhong, it seemed like he was spying on them.So he chatted with the old lady who was half lying on the hospital bed.During the chat, I found out that this old lady and that old man Li are half-way couples. The old lady has never had children in her life. Li Lao and his ex-wife had four sons and a daughter. One of them died of illness early, and only three sons and a daughter survived. In the world, except for one of the sons who married a capable daughter-in-law, life is okay, but that son is a strict wife, and his wife has the final say on all matters in the family, and his wife is because of Lao Li. The matter of remarriage is almost different from that of the husband's family.The lives of the other children are clumsy and overwhelmed.When Mr. Li remarried with the old lady, several of Mr. Li's children disagreed, thinking that the old lady was trying to get Mr. Li's house.Originally, the old lady wanted not to get the certificate, but she couldn't resist Mr. Li, so she got the certificate and held a few simple banquets despite the opposition.Some time ago, the old lady felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but she thought about it and she was fine. She dragged on for a few days, until one day she fainted at home, and was sent to the hospital. After investigation, it turned out to be a gastric ulcer bleeding. Fortunately, it was sent in time, otherwise Heavy bleeding is also quite dangerous for an elderly person.

"The old man kept scolding me, saying that I shouldn't procrastinate. However, I don't have medical insurance, so I'm really afraid of spending money for illness!" The old lady sighed and continued, "I've only lived for a few days, and I've already spent a lot of money. , the old man took out all the money in the passbook..."

Liu Hao was touched by the close relationship between these two old people, but he also knew in his heart that what the old lady said was telling the truth. As the saying goes, poor couples have nothing to worry about. Once two poor old people get seriously ill, they can really save their families. Hollowed out.Even if the house is emptied, no one can be kept.

"Mr. Li is true love for you!" Liu Hao could only say this,

"Haha, we all have one foot in the coffin. There is no true love, just live together." Hearing Liu Hao's words, the old lady smiled, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her haggard and withered face. a happy expression.

Jiang Yizhong and his mother also heard the old lady's words, and each secretly thought about their own concerns.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open again.

Everyone looked together.

It was Mr. Li. He entered the ward in the cold wind. At a glance, he had changed into a thick navy blue cotton suit, a tan knitted hat on his head, and some old black leather shoes with a few scraps hanging from the edge of his feet. Snow.He was still holding an insulated lunch box in his hand, and there were some old cracks on the green plastic shell, as well as brown oil stains left by the old people who didn't wash things clean.The hand holding the insulated lunch box was already red with cold.

"Hey, old man, why don't you wear gloves?" The old lady spoke first.

"I didn't find it at home." Li Laohan smiled and put the insulated lunch box on the table beside the bed, rubbing his hands.

"It's on the third shelf of the cabinet on the east side of the house, look at your memory!" the old lady complained.

"Yeah, I got it!" Mr. Li listened to the old lady's scolding, and opened the insulated lunch box deftly with his hands and feet. Suddenly, a fresh fragrance spread.

"Old man, is this mushroom soup?" The old lady stopped talking suddenly, and watched in surprise as Mr. Li poured out a large bowl of mushroom soup and brought it in front of her.

"Yeah, didn't you say you want to drink mushroom soup?" Mr. Li said with a smile.

"Oh, old man..." The old lady's eyes were a little moist.

"Brother, please! Come and drink a bowl of mushroom soup!" Mr. Li just smiled and poured another bowl of soup and handed it to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao didn't have the nerve to drink the old man's soup, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Master, I can do it with a little effort, so you are welcome. You can drink this soup, I have something to do, let's go first!" , Arched hands, said goodbye, wished a speedy recovery, and slipped away quickly.

There are only two beds and four people left in the ward.

"Uncle Li?" Aunt Qian suddenly called out tentatively.

"Hey, you are...you are Xiaomei?" Old man Li put down the soup bowl in his hand and looked at Aunt Qian.

Jiang Yizhong looked at his mother suspiciously, and then at old man Li.

"Mom, do you know each other?" Jiang Yizhong asked.

"It's really Uncle Li!" Aunt Qian suddenly laughed, with a sincere smile on her face, "Yi Zhong, this is the Uncle Li you hugged when you were young, don't you remember?"

"Ah, so this is Xiao Chongzi! He has grown so big!" Old man Li also had a surprised face.

"Yeah, we moved later, and the old house was demolished, and we lost contact with each other. I didn't expect to meet here today! What a fate!" Aunt Qian clapped her hands and laughed.

Jiang Yizhong really couldn't remember anything about Li Bo, so he could only smile awkwardly at Mr. Li and his wife. Although he was mentally weak, he still looked handsome when he smiled.

Mr. Li also briefly explained the situation to his wife, and the old lady also smiled kindly and looked at Jiang Yizhong, muttering, "That's great, that's great!"
