Gold medal pet

On the construction site that was supposed to be under construction, the workers put down their work and flocked to a place where the reinforced concrete was piled up.

Just now, there was a bang on the whole construction site.

The sound was astonishingly loud. It seemed that some heavy object suddenly fell from a high altitude and hit the ground hard.

Falling into the pile of reinforced concrete, it immediately stirred up a piece of white dust as high as a person, slowly rising, and gradually shrouded into a cloud of white mist.

Immediately afterwards, crimson blood slowly flowed out of the white mist and spread in all directions. A strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of cement drifted away.

Disgusting.

The surrounding workers turned pale with fright. They stiffened their bodies and leaned into the white mist. They opened their eyes wide and wanted to see who the poor man in the pool of blood was.

Then, everyone began to look around in horror, looking at the people around them, looking for coworkers who worked together, and eagerly confirming each other's safety.

When the white mist had dissipated and everyone saw the bloody man on the ground, they all gasped in fright and retreated outside in unison with trembling steps.

Only one person cried out in fear:

"Is it the old river?"

The person who shouted this was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a hard hat and work clothes. His eyes were wide open. He looked at the people around him in a panic. He tried his best to search for the figure of Xiao Zhenghe. He still held the hope that he could hardly see him.

······

Everyone was silent. They just turned their heads to look for Xiao Zhenghe everywhere. Finally, they all looked at the bloody mass.

After a while, several cars drove up to the construction site. A man with nervous expression came out of the leading car. This man was the person in charge of the construction site.

Then the ambulance came with its horn sounding. The workers stood far away. Let the medical staff carry the stretcher and take the person away. Everyone saw the serious expressions on the faces of the leaders.

People fell like that. They must be dead.

Some of the workers were sitting on the ground, and some were standing against the wall. But they all looked at the blood on the ground, and silently measured the height above. Their eyes were gloomy.

Xiao's mother in the countryside was notified soon.

After Xiao's mother heard the news, Dang even passed out and became unconscious.

Fortunately, there were several neighbors at home at the time. Seeing Xiao’s mother lying on the ground, she immediately went to help her up, picked up the phone to listen, and realized that it was Xiao Zhenghe on the construction site who had an accident.

Several neighbors immediately woke up Xiao's mother, and then went to the uncle's family, and told the story exactly. When the uncle heard the news, his body was shocked, and his expression was sad.

After waking up, Mother Xiao's eyes froze. Then she burst into tears. While crying, she ran out the door. She was about to run to the hospital in the city.

The well-meaning people in the village drove the car, carrying Xiao's mother and uncle's family to the hospital in the city. Along the way, Xiao's mother's miserable cry made everyone feel heartbroken, and the corners of the uncle's eyes were filled with tears.

When we got to the hospital, Xiao Zhenghe was confirmed dead.

Then. In the following whole world, there are only three things left.

Heart-piercing cries. White sheets. And suffocating grief.

When Xiao Nan received the call, it was already the next day.

No one was willing to tell Xiao Nan the cruel news. After a whole long night of torment, the uncle still called.

Xiao Nan's first reaction was that this news is fake.

It must be fake.

Xiao Nan didn't even have time to go back to the place where he lived. He rushed directly from the company to the station. After buying the ticket, he got on the car home. His body was tense and his face was pale.

As if carrying an empty shell, Xiao Nan ran to the hospital in a daze. The elevator didn't even have time to wait, so he went straight up the stairs and ran up towards the sixth floor.

When he reached the sixth floor, Xiao Nan felt dizzy for a while, as if he had reached the entrance of hell. He walked to the depth step by step, and then stopped at the door of a ward.

Xiao’s mother was so sad that she fell into a coma several times. The nurses arranged the collapsed Xiao’s mother in a ward. It was suggested to wait for Xiao’s mother to get better before going back.

The uncle's family took care of Xiao's mother in the ward. Everyone's eyes were red and swollen, and their faces were haggard. They were not much better than Xiao's mother.

Xiao Nanbing opened the door with his hands. The uncle's eyes looked over. The moment the two eyes met, the uncle's haggard face revealed a sad and fragile expression.

Xiao Nan's head froze for a moment. He forcibly controlled his body. He walked in slowly. He saw Xiao's mother lying unconscious on the hospital bed.

Uncle said, child, don't wake up your mother. She will cry when she wakes up.

I have already cried so much that my eyes are inflamed. If I continue crying, I'm afraid I'm going to go blind from crying.

Xiao Nan turned his head away, with tears streaming down his face, and asked his uncle:

"Where's my dad?"

······

Xiao Nan asked for leave from the company and held the funeral at home.

Dressed in white linen, kneeling in front of the hall, burning white candles.

The small room was filled with choking white smoke and gray-black fine particles, which landed on Xiao Nan's head and shoulders.

Next to it was the sound of Qi Qi crying. Mother Xiao knelt beside Xiao Nan, her face was haggard, and she just stretched out her hand and slowly burned the paper money.

When a person dies, he is gone forever.

Xiao Nan deeply understood this time.

I've seen people from other people's families die before. Xiao Nan can't feel anything. He just feels very sorry.

Then after a few years, I forget about that person. I forget that that person ever existed.

That person is not even mentioned in ordinary chats. He is rarely mentioned. Everyone will say:

"Ah. That person. I almost forgot. I haven't been here for several years..."

And my own father will also be forgotten.

Xiao Nan looked at the photo in the frame and felt it was strange.

How can a person be replaced by a photo?

Even memories are extremely thin.

What do you think of when you see this photo?

Regrets, remorse, or apologies that were not made up before.

Of course, I will think of some beautiful things.

Happy memories. Warm pictures. Even the most ordinary things have become precious and unrepeatable memories.

But. This is limited to a vague impression. As time goes by, these will fade again and again. Until it looks like a canvas soaked in sea water. Even if it is solid, it will lose its color.

Not anymore. Just not there.

Mother Xiao is like the potted flower on the window sill. It has lost its care. The petals are withering day by day.

When the sun shines on the potted flower, and Xiao's mother who is sitting in front of the window loses her spirits, her haggard side face is just like that flower. It's just dying.

The long rattan chair under the persimmon tree looks like the embrace left by Xiao's father.

Mother Xiao was always alone in the backyard. She sat on the gently rocking rattan chair and let the leaves fall on her body. She closed her eyes and stayed there until night.

It's already autumn. The night is somewhat chilly.

Xiao Nan took a coat and walked into the backyard. Looking at the figure lying on the long wicker chair, it was about to merge with the night.

Gently put the coat on Xiao's mother. Xiao Nan stood quietly by the side, looking up at the night sky. The sky tonight is full of stars, and a full moon hangs high in it. It is bright and peaceful.

······

"Nannan, you go back to the company."

Mother Xiao said after a while.

The voice was a little hoarse. It was because of crying too much. So some voices changed.

Mother Xiao stopped for a while and said again:

"You've been home for some days. It's time to go."

"Don't worry. Mom is fine. Your dad lives in my heart. He is still with me. Mom is not alone."

"I just miss it..."

"Mom and you. My child."

Xiao's mother stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Nan's hanging hand. In the cold night, there was a hint of warmth.

"Now. It's mother's turn to hold Nannan's hand like this."

······

"You were such a child before. You are very sensible. You often help your mother with housework. You also learn to cook. You are not as naughty as other children. Just learn from childhood."

"Mom and Dad have always been proud of you. Always have been."

"Your father and I sometimes think that no matter how hard and tired this life is, our hearts are still sweet. Because we have an amazing son. The greatest happiness in our life is to have you as a child."

"Your father and I will always be by your side."

"No matter where you are. Our hearts are with you."

"So. Don't worry about Mom anymore, okay. Go back to the company."

······

Xiao Nan held her mother's hand tightly. The warm temperature wrapped the rough but weak hand in her hand. Xiao's mother showed a slight smile. Even though it was in the dark, Xiao Nan could still feel it.

Because of that hand, Xiao Nan felt strong and loved.

Everyone says that the mother is the strongest.

Because. Every mother carries someone far more important than herself in her heart. That is the child.

Even if you fall temporarily, you can stand up again. And this strength comes from the love that blood is thicker than water.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Nan looked at his mother on the rattan chair and said:

"I'll go back to the company. But... Mom, you have to listen to me."

"Now. Let's go back to the house. Also. I will call you every day after get off work. Don't answer the phone. Don't lie to me. Until I hear your laughter. I hear you say good night. give up."

"How about it? Do you dare to promise me?"

Xiao Nan looked at her mother with firm eyes.

Mother Xiao nodded and tugged at Xiao Nan's hand.

"Don't you want to go back? Let's go. It's so cold outside..."

The next day, Xiao Nan got in the car and went back to City T. He was exhausted and haggard all over. Xiao Nan returned to the place where he lived, went into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and sat on the floor wearily. Let the hot water wash over yourself.

The hair was wet very quickly. A string of drops of water dripped from the hair. The shirt on his body was soaked and stuck to his body. Xiao Nan closed his eyes and felt powerless.

It would be great if. At this time. There is someone who can be by my side.

No need to do anything. Just hug yourself lightly is enough.

Let yourself have a hug to rely on. Just stay like that for a while.
