unruly

The gift is packed tightly, with three layers inside and three layers outside. The things are packed in a handbag. The surface of the box is plastic-sealed.

That's not all, there is also a layer of foam cushions for protection and cushioning in the box. Remove the foam cushions, and the real gift reveals its hidden face-three small ceramic ornaments, two vivid little people plus a A round and fat dog.

The two little people have curly hair, one with big waves and a suit, the other with short curly hair and overalls, and the dog is a Bernese mountain dog. The shape of Mao Tuanzi is very cute, with round eyes, and he is sticking out his tongue foolishly .

Mingshu took a look at the big dog and small ornaments, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, then turned around and asked, "Made to order?"

Ning Zhi didn't try to keep it to himself, and replied bluntly: "I did it."

"Really?" Ming Shu was a little surprised.

Ning Zhi's face was serious and sincere: "I have a friend who opened a new handicraft shop, specializing in this kind of handmade ceramic decorations. I went to her to learn for two days."

Ming Shu said, "It's amazing."

Ning Zhi tore off the wrapping paper and threw it away, and asked while tidying up, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Mingshu replied: "It's pretty, very cute."

Ning Zhi said, "I was afraid you wouldn't like it."

Mingshu said: "No, it feels good, and I can take it back to the office and put it on after a while."

"It can also be placed at home, anywhere."

"Ah."

"Next time I have time, I can make a few more, and I can put a copy in the store and here."

"okay."

Ning Zhi is a practical person, and he never talks empty words. Seeing that she really likes her, he immediately continued to ask: "Then what else do you want?"

Ming Shu said: "It's fine, any kind is fine."

"Then I'll draw a few manuscripts for you to choose after a while, and you can take a look at that time."

"Row."

Ning Zhishuo asked again: "Do you want a fox?"

Mingshu said "ah".

Ning Zhi pointed to the two little ones on the card, "Do you want one that looks like this?"

"Yes." Mingshu nodded, "Both."

"Okay, let's pick a spare time someday to do it for you."

Small ceramic figurines are not worth much, and there is not much technical content in making them. You can buy a lot of them casually, but giving gifts is more important, and it all depends on what the person does.

It's all here, and it's just a matter of someone's heart, and it's actually quite sincere.Ming Shu smiled, feeling warm and touched in his heart, after a long while, he murmured softly, "Thank you for your hard work..."

Ning Zhi collapsed on the bed and slumped, "It's not hard work, and I'm not tired at all."

Ming Shufang lightly touched the autumn-shaped ornaments, and then carefully touched the little figure in overalls, his eyes gradually softened.After a while, she glanced at Ning Zhi, and suddenly said, "I didn't prepare a gift for you."

Ning Zhi raised his eyebrows, not seeming to mind.

"Forgot," Mingshu explained, unable to tell whether it was true or not, "I planned to buy it this week, but I didn't make it in time. Too many things delayed the time."

Ning Zhi said indifferently: "It's nothing."

Ming Shu lowered his eyes to look at the little ceramic figure again, his lips moved, as if he wanted to talk about the hospital, but he couldn't open his mouth after all.

Ning Zhixin turned over on her stomach, looked up at her, and said carelessly: "I know you are busy, I can make it up in a few days if I forgot this time, or I can give you an extra copy next year. Anyway, we can do it every day." See, you don’t have to pick a date when you give a gift, and you can give it to me next time.”

Ming Shu looked sideways and said softly, "Are you so generous?"

"That's not right, it's a privilege exclusively for girlfriends." Ning Zhi said, and blinked, "My girlfriend is the biggest, and the world is not as big as her."

One set of nasty love stories, one can get tired of it.

Ming Shu couldn't stand such intimacy, he had never heard such a direct confession in his life, so he immediately rubbed his arms, and replied with a smile: "Okay, put it away."

Ning Zhi also laughed, she didn't know if she was amused by Ming Shu's reaction or thought of something, she collapsed on the quilt with joy, overjoyed.

Ming Shu ignored this person, stood for a while with eyebrows slightly bent, and then put away all the small ceramic figures and put them aside for the time being.

Ning Zhi called her: "Girlfriend."

She didn't respond, just ignoring it.

Ning Zhi shouted again: "Ming Shu."

She turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.

The other party dragged his voice again and said, "Squeak, my dear—"

Ming Shu disliked such a pretentious posture, but couldn't hold back the corners of her lips, and finally responded: "Be honest, go wash up quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Ning Zhi lay flat on his back, "I'll go later."

The two quarreled for a few minutes, talking back and forth, full of warmth.

Comrade Curly really doesn't care that Mingshu forgot to buy a gift, he doesn't take it to heart at all.Originally, the traditional customs of Chinese New Year are not very popular for exchanging gifts. On New Year’s Eve, the focus is on the reunion dinner and lucky money, and these two are the serious inheritance.Ning Zhi has never been looking forward to presents, but only waited for Ming Shu to give him a red envelope.

Of course, now is the beginning of New Year's Eve, and it will take another night to send out red envelopes. Right now, Ming Shu will not give out red envelopes to Ning Zhi, it's not yet time.

Ten minutes later, the two lay peacefully next to each other on the bed, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

Before closing his eyes, Ning Zhi habitually turned his head to look at the side, and whispered, "Boss Ming, good night."

Ming Shu was moved, and rarely looked sideways, and said slowly, "Good night."

Ning Zhitian said: "Sweet dream."

Mingshu said: "Sweet dream..."

The nights from the [-]th to the [-]th were not calm, the lights on the street were brighter than usual, there were still cars coming and going in the middle of the night, and there were still piles of pedestrians on the road in the middle of the night.

The area near the financial city was noisy, and the New Year's Eve celebration was being held in the commercial center at this time, and the noise of the noise spread to the residential area here.

This year's festive atmosphere is stronger than in previous years, everywhere is full of joy, and there is a burst of fresh energy in the cold air.

At the end of the year, we get rid of the old and welcome the new, and this day is a new beginning.

In recent years, fireworks are not allowed in the urban area of ​​Z City, even firecrackers are not allowed, and burning paper money is even more unacceptable. The traditional old customs can only be replaced by other methods.

During the period of [-] and [-], firecrackers should be set off in the early morning of this night and tomorrow night to celebrate the end of the old year and the approaching of a new round of beautiful days. Or simulate electronic products in the shape of firecrackers.

Around one o'clock, someone in the community set off electronic firecrackers when they had nothing to do, disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night.

At that time, the two people on the [-]th floor had fallen asleep, especially Ning Zhi, who managed not to be woken up.Ming Shu opened his eyes when the sound of the firecrackers was about the same, and turned sideways to look at the world outside the window.

Somewhat reluctant, Boss Ming touched Ning Zhi under the quilt again, and grabbed his finger.

.

This year's New Year's Eve was very complete, festive and jubilant.

Both Ming Shu and Ning Zhi had to go back to their own homes, one went to the villa by the lake to accompany the old couple, and the other went to the old house in the south of the city to find family members.Early in the morning, Ming Shu sent Ning Zhi and Qiu downstairs, then stuffed a big red envelope in advance for Ning Zhi, and said in a gentle voice, "Open it at night, no peeking during the day."

Ning Zhi weighed the red envelope, and immediately responded: "No, I promise not.

Mingshu said: "Go back to celebrate the New Year well, and I will make a video call for you in the evening."

Ning Zhi nodded, then stepped forward to give her a hug, then tilted his head and kissed her cheek.

The two parted at 08:30 in the morning, Ming Shu arrived at the lakeside villa in the early nine o'clock, and Ning Zhi arrived at Ning's house a little later.

After both parties arrived home, they both sent messages to the other party, and went to their own business in the afternoon, officially throwing themselves into the festive atmosphere.

The flavor of the New Year in the Ming family was so strong that it could not be melted away. The old couple was so happy that they woke up early in the morning to work, running back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, and the husband and wife cooked for themselves.

According to the old customs in Z City, the food for the two days of New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival can only be prepared within one day of the New Year’s Eve. On the first day of the New Year’s Day, you can’t open fire to fry new dishes, and you can only eat the leftovers on the [-]th day. More than a year."

The old couple cooked a large table of dishes, Sixi meatballs, braised pork with preserved vegetables, steamed beef, pork knuckle, stewed tofu with bolong, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, boiled fish, three delicacies soup... There are also various cold dishes and snacks.

Mr. Xiao has superb cooking skills, and his apron is a great chef. There is no dish he can't cook.

The old couple didn't let their daughter into the kitchen, they only asked Mingshu to help set the dishes, and they didn't give a chance to intervene in anything else.

On New Year's Eve, Ms. Ming Yiru was simply amiable, smiling and smiling from morning to night, as if she had signed a billion-dollar super-billion business deal.Ms. Ming likes Chinese New Year so much, she loves this festival the most.

Ming Shu stayed in the living room, sometimes helping to arrange the table, and sometimes answering calls from relatives and friends.She behaved very calmly, she did whatever she wanted, she would never cry and inform the old couple of her condition as soon as she entered the house, she still wanted to postpone it for two days, and wait until the end of the New Year.

Jiang Xu and Dr. Cheng also sent a lot of news on this day, and they have been talking to her on WeChat.

Those two didn't come to send blessings, they were still persuading Mingshu to go to the hospital as soon as possible.Dr. Cheng was always worried. He didn't want to let Mingshu leave on Thursday. Even though the time for seeing a doctor was set yesterday, he was still very worried. He thought that Mingshu should go to the hospital for treatment immediately, and he couldn't delay it for another day. .

Jiang Xu also meant the same thing, so he made several phone calls and told Mingshu that he had made arrangements for her to go to the hospital in the afternoon.

Mingshu was grateful to the two doctors, but he still came as planned, saying that he would give himself half a day, and the rest would be dealt with soon.

Sick people are stubborn, easy to fall into misunderstandings, and are deeply obsessed with certain things.

Boss Ming thinks she is sensible. From leaving the hospital to now, she has given her a total of three days to complete all the remaining tasks. She almost does it with the determination not to look back, as if she is saying her final farewell.She didn't feel sad, she was quite restrained, she didn't think too much when making these arrangements, she didn't hold too high hopes, and she wasn't too pessimistic.

Parents must be notified of such a serious matter as illness, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hide it after a while.Ming Shu had no choice but to let the old couple and others spend the year happily, and make plans after going to the hospital to handle all the relevant matters on the first day of junior high school, and try to notify Ming Yiru and Xiao Heliang a few days later.

As for Ning Zhi... Ming Shu is still thinking, not sure how to solve it.

Jiang Xu was so anxious about this that he didn't even want to give Mingshu half a day, and the phone bombarding never stopped.

Not only Dr. Jiang, but also Ye Xiyan kept calling, trying to persuade him in different ways.

Ming Shu was more persistent, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he didn't reply to Jiang Xu and the others. In short, it was the same sentence, go to the hospital tomorrow morning, and I have to finish today, and I won't reply to the rest.

The New Year's Eve went smoothly, and it was peaceful and safe from morning to night.

Evening is the busiest time, with the Spring Festival Gala on the TV, news from various groups on the mobile phone, and red envelopes, big and small, jumping out one after another.There is a friend in the penguin group @明木, who sends a red envelope to her alone in the group, and a friend chats with her in private, and directly transfers the money to send a big one.

Mingshu didn't have time to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and spent half the night messing around with group news, receiving and sending out red envelopes, and replying to everyone's wishes.

The old couple prepared a stack of red bills for their daughter, a large stack of them, if they couldn't fit into the "small bag", they put them in a handbag, and gave her a handbag along the way.

The couple had such an only seedling under their knees, so they gave all the love and care to Mingshu alone.

Ming Shu accepted the bag and money with peace of mind, and said a few words of blessing to the old couple as in previous years.

The old couple beamed happily, especially Ming Yiru, whose eyes were red from hearing this.Ms. Ming has always been a tough person on the outside. In fact, she is very soft-hearted most of the time, and her eyes turn red every time she is moved. She has cried so many times over the years.

Raising a child is not an easy task, especially after divorce and bringing the baby to live. Ms. Ming had a rough life in the early years. At that time, she had to work hard and take care of her daughter who was still a baby. She used to be in the business field I have experienced many difficulties, and I have gritted my teeth and resisted to the end several times.Meeting Xiao Heliang was a later event, and then she married Teacher Xiao, and Teacher Xiao helped take care of the family and children, and solved many worries for Ming Yiru.

Ming Shu raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mother's eyes, and said softly, "Why are you crying during the Chinese New Year? It's not a sad thing."

Ming Yiru wiped his nose and replied, "I'm so happy."

"Don't cry if you're happy," Mingshu said, taking out a tissue and stuffing it into her mother's hand, "It's just a few words, nothing else."

Xiao Heliang at the side hugged his wife, patted Ming Yiru on the back, and said, "You, it's really... It's okay, it's okay, wipe it off, everything is fine..."

Ming Shu pursed her lips, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for Ming Yiru.

Xu felt that it was too embarrassing to be moved to tears in front of his family, so Ming Yiru hurriedly turned his back to prevent Mingshu from wiping it off, instead he wiped it with the back of his hand twice.

Mothers always have too many thoughts, and when they get dizzy, they become confused.

The family of three kept watch until the early hours of the morning, chatting sentence after sentence, talking about something casually, and it was not over until the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast.

During this period, Ming Shu didn't look at her phone anymore, she went upstairs to her room to lie down very late, and went to those groups to look through the chat records.

The chats in the group were messy and not of much interest. They were nothing more than New Year blessings and begging for red envelopes, and the rest were just some irrelevant small talk.

Mingshu went through the groups one by one, and not long after, she distributed red envelopes in those groups to celebrate with everyone.

In the group of old friends with Lao Cao, Ming Shu gave out the most red envelopes, a series of red envelopes, and quickly gave out 4 to [-] yuan.

Lao Cao @She: "Thank you, Boss Ming, rich woman!"

Fan Chuyu also followed closely behind: "Thank you, Boss Ming!"

Sister Ying and the others added one after another, teasing her like swiping the screen.There is also a red envelope that my friend @明朗 wants to send privately, expressing that she wants to rub the happiness of the rich woman.Ming Shu is generous, sending a private transfer of 888 yuan to all friends who have @ own.

Lao Cao and the others sent money transfers to her individually, and so did these friends.It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, it doesn't matter how much it is, the main thing is to have fun.

It's just that this New Year's Eve is not always auspicious. A little later, a friend suddenly said something in the group, telling everyone an extremely sudden news-on this great day of national joy, someone passed away tonight.

Everyone knew that person, and had a lot of communication with Mingshu in the early years.The other party passed away due to illness, and the terminal cancer could not be rescued. After being sent home from the hospital, he couldn't even survive the first day of the new year.

The most embarrassing thing to die young is on such an unusual day.Everyone in the group was quite emotional about this. After discussing for a while, they all agreed that the second day of junior high school should go and have a look - there is no funeral on the first day of the new year, and even the obituary will not be issued, and the funeral is going to be delayed until the second day of junior high school .

Ming Shu still remembered who the deceased was, but he hadn't contacted the other party for a long time. After seeing the news, he thought about it for a few seconds before he remembered that person's face.She also visited this friend in the hospital. The last time she remembered seeing him was in May last year. However, the friend at that time has clearly improved a lot. The doctor said that the treatment effect is very good, and he is expected to recover. ...

In the group, all the friends sighed, and one person said with emotion: "It can be regarded as a relief. Having that kind of disease is suffering. After several years of treatment, it has been repeated repeatedly. Finally, I can not suffer so much pain."

Ming Shu didn't participate in the discussion, and soon quit WeChat and went offline quietly.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most impermanent, and ordinary people are powerless to change reality.

Ming Shu turned off the light and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling silently, his mind was muddled, and he couldn't help but think of the things he saw on the Internet in the past two days.She checked a lot of things related to chronic myelogenous leukemia, and also read the experience of many patients in the fight against the disease, good, bad, not bad... Life is different:

Some people left the hospital after being diagnosed and gave up treatment directly; some people were forced to bow to reality after being treated for a while and chose to go back; Some of them survived successfully, some of them died of transplant failure, and the rest relapsed after transplantation, surviving regardless of good or bad.

The reality is different from what is shown in the TV series. Not everyone can go to the road of successful healing. In fact, there are only a few cases of being cured.

Leukemia does not have to choose bone marrow transplantation. It is indeed the best treatment, but it is also risky. For a considerable number of people, it is better to choose chemotherapy or take medicine. At least the latter can live a little longer. Years or 20 years or even longer, and will not die soon due to rejection or infection after bone marrow transplantation.

Doctor Cheng didn't say some things, and deliberately ignored them.

CML mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. For these people, due to various reasons, such as age and high treatment costs, drug treatment is the best choice, and this method is safer.But for young people, bone marrow transplantation is still a promising path. After all, based on actual cases, it is still unknown whether young patients can live to old age by taking medicine.

Some patients can prolong their survival by about 30 years by taking medicine, which seems to be a medical miracle, but 30 years is not much for patients in their twenties, it is not long enough, it is too short, short to panic.

Furthermore, if one is unlucky, it will be a matter of time before the slow-grained grains enter the accelerated phase from the chronic phase and then enter the acute phase. By then, how can they live for 30 years? Thank God if they can persist for three months. Days passed away.

Mingshu will definitely actively cooperate with the treatment, but she doesn't know how to choose and how to proceed.

She didn't think about dying, nor how long she could live, let alone whether she could be cured. She was only worried about how to deal with the people or things around her. The studio could be handed over to Fan Chuyu, but Mingyiruhe What about Xiao Heliang?Regardless of whether she can live or not, how will the old couple live in the future?

Mingshu couldn't handle this situation, so he thought about whether the old couple could adopt another one if there was such a day, and then asked Fan Chuyu and Lao Cao to help take care of it.

Ms. Ming Yiru is already very old, it is unrealistic to have another child, and it is not so easy to adopt, and it is even more difficult to raise her well.After all, Fan Chuyu, Lao Cao and others couldn't take care of their parents in everything. They had their personal lives, and their own family was full of troubles. How could they take care of two more.

Mingshu regretted it a little. She felt that she should have proposed to the old couple to have another playmate when they were young. Originally, the couple planned to have another child at that time, but they gave up because they were too busy with work and life, thinking that they did not have so much energy to raise their two children. , There is no need to have a small one if you already have one.

The old couple were too responsible and paid too much for her daughter.Ming Shu has nothing to repay, and it is very likely that he will not be able to repay in the future.

And Ning Zhi, Ming Shu didn't know how to properly handle this relationship.

separate?continue?

Ning Zhi is only 20 years old, at the right age of youth, it is too unfair to let this person accompany him to treat his illness, it is tantamount to binding the other party with morality and emotion.Ning Zhi hasn't really left the society, hasn't really seen the vast world, she still has many opportunities and challenges in the future, she shouldn't be trapped by a certain patient.

Ming Shu always thinks about the Ning family, the messy family relationship among the members of the Ning family, the incompetent and unreasonable Father Ning, the scrambling Zhuang Qinian, and the old lady Ning who is in poor health... Ning Zhishou The burden on her is heavy enough, now she has to go back to take care of the elderly from time to time, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

Some things cannot be solved with money, and invisible pressure can overwhelm those involved.Society and family guarantee a person's growth, but at the same time leave behind many responsibilities that a person must shoulder.

There are some big truths that don’t need to be said, they will be understood when the time comes.

But if it's a breakup...Mingshu couldn't make a choice from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't make up her mind, whether she said it was selfish or dragging her down, there was always something she couldn't say.

Inexplicably proposing to break up, pushing the other person away in the name of love, that's too nonsense, and it's not like never seeing each other again in the future, one day Ning Zhi will know about this, and the pressure on the other party will be even greater at that time.

Separation is another kind of emotional oppression. When Ning Zhi finds out, how should that person choose?Regret, pain, rejoicing, or come back and stay with me?

Ming Shu is still more willing to have a frank and honest talk with Ning Zhi, to talk openly, but not now, but after a while.

The present time is not right, not yet.

Thinking of this, Ming Shu picked up the phone again, hesitated for a long time, and sent a message to Fan Chuyu, then clicked on the chat interface with Ning Zhi, flipped through the pile of random thoughts that the child had sent to him, and then dialed Make a voice call.

When it rang twice over there, he quickly answered it, as if he had been waiting for her to call all night.

Ning Zhi opened his mouth first, and said, "Happy New Year!"

Ming Shu smiled and replied in a low voice, "Happy New Year."

Ning Zhi asked: "Are you free now? Have Auntie and Teacher rested yet?"

Ming Shu said, "It's already rested."

"I thought you guys were watching the year," Ning Zhi said, "I'll call you if you don't hit me after a long time."

Ming Shu informed in a warm voice: "Something happened just now."

Ning Zhida: "All right."

Ming Shu pondered for a while, and called out her name.

Ning Zhi asked, "What's wrong?"

Ming Shu collected his expression, and said peacefully: "I'll tell you something."

Ning Zhi should be quick: "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."
