broken

Can not help but feel a little lost.

"Xiao Jin, what have you been up to lately? How does Auntie see that you have lost weight again? Do you not eat well? Although you have moved out for many years, it is always better to be outside than at home. You have to learn to take care of yourself. , you can’t just look at yourself when you’re young…”

Seeing that Su Jin didn't seem to be very willing to listen, Bai Qian only said a few words and then stopped talking.

It is rare for the child to come back, and she is also afraid that the child will not like to come back after all, after all, it is not her own flesh and blood, and it is really difficult to control more and less.

Su Jin put down the bowl and chopsticks, and reached out to hold Bai Qian's hand for the first time.

When she was young before, Su Jin really didn't like to listen to Bai Qian's nagging.But these years, every time I come back to this home, my aunt and uncle still have to nag. Su Jin understands that it's not that they can't control their chatter, but they can't control their concern for her.

"Auntie, don't worry about me. I'm fine. My uncle sells well. Don't make him too tired. My brother can endure hardship. He must work overtime because he wants to develop better. Auntie, look at us. Isn’t everything getting better at home? Don’t worry about me, you should eat and drink, wash your clothes and use the washing machine, don’t save that little electricity.”

Bessie nodded warmly when she was held by her niece.

"Also, auntie, you have to apply hand cream after washing your clothes. Don't keep your hands wet all the time. The wind in spring is too dry, and your hands are prone to chapping."

The skin on the back of the woman's hand has turned out erythema, dry and rough, cracked with fine lines.

Su Jin knew that in order to save electricity, the clothes at home were basically washed by hand, and no matter what the season was, they always used cold water.

"You child, why did you say such things suddenly..." Bai Qian shyly withdrew her hand from the girl's hand, and even hid her hands to her sides.

It was the first time that my niece held hands like this, and it was the first time I heard her say such words. Although this nearly 50-year-old woman was happy because her child was sensible, she still felt uncomfortable.

Bai Qian didn't have a daughter, but only a son. Her sister's child was raised by her family, and she loved this poor child even more since she was a child.

But the niece is not her own daughter after all, and Su Jin became more and more rebellious during her adolescence, and even when she became an adult, she resolutely left the family.

Bai Qian was very distressed. Seeing the girl's resolute look at that time, she once thought that the girl would never come back again, but after leaving home, the girl gradually changed. In the past few years, Su Jin would go home to see her more regularly , will often call her, and every time she comes back, she can see the girl's growth and maturity.

Bai Qian sniffled her nose, and looked at the girl kindly with wet eyes: "Okay, eat some more, eat all the vegetables, our little Jin is the most obedient."

Su Jin licked his lips and smiled innocently.

This is what my aunt said most often when she praised her since she was a child. Every time she heard that she was good, she would feel that she would be loved better, but it was true that she hadn't heard it for a long time.

After the meal, Su Jin didn't help my aunt wash the dishes, but sat on the small wooden bench in the living room with my aunt's mobile phone. She transferred the money to Bai Qian's WeChat, and used Bai Qian's mobile phone to click to collect the money.

The sound of splashing water came from the kitchen, Bai Qian was wearing an apron, and she didn't know the little girl in the living room thought about it.

"Little Jin," Bai Qian called out, "Have you visited your mother recently?"

Su Jin was leaning against the kitchen door, the door frame he was holding on to had been painted off, and the wood was cracked. The girl picked it out with her hands, and fine sawdust immediately fell from the cracks in the wood.

"Auntie, I'll go in the afternoon." The girl withdrew her hand and said softly.

"Well, then you should pack up early."

—

The gate of Binhai Fourth Courtyard was closed tightly, and the brick wall made of concrete was much higher than that of the elementary school next to it. Several tall locust trees exposed their crowns from the wall, and new branches and young leaves had grown on the trees.

Intermittent babbling and babbling noises were heard in the corridor of the hospital. A few nurses hurried to the side where the noise was made with restraint belts and tranquilizers, while the other two nurses came in the opposite direction supporting each other. He folded his arms with a painful expression on his face.

Su Jin walked quietly against the wall, the attention of the whole floor was on the sudden incident, and no one cared about her thin and small standing on the side.

Two nurses walked past her, and only then did she see that the girl had a bright red tooth mark bitten on her forearm, and blood was still oozing from several places, while the other girl had blood on her face and neck. There is a red palm print.

Su Jin lowered her head and bit her lips, she didn't look at the two nurse girls with red eyes, but walked gently towards the back building ward.

Bai Ping's ward was in the backmost single room of the general ward. When Su Jin arrived, she had just woken up and was standing in front of the window.

It was only when Su Jin approached that she saw that she was holding the iron railing with both hands, her head was stuck between the two iron pillars, her head was tilted slightly, and her eyes were looking out of the window.

"How is my mother?" Su Jin whispered to Xiao Zhou, the nurse in charge.

"Auntie has been doing well recently, she has been very calm, and the food is okay." Xiao Zhou said.

Su Jin looked down and saw some medicine in Xiao Zhou's hand, and asked again: "Is she still hiding medicine these days?"

"No, no." Xiao Zhou shook his head, "I don't think Auntie wants to hide it, maybe she just thinks the medicine is bitter and doesn't want to take it."

"En." The girl responded shallowly.

Who loves to take medicine, and who is willing to take that bitter medicine all the time, life is already very bitter, isn't it?

Xiao Zhou and Su Jin were about the same age, and they were assigned to the Fourth Hospital after graduating from the medical school. The first patient in charge was Su Jin's mother, Bai Ping.

Every time a girl came to see Bai Ping, but the woman couldn't even recognize her, Xiao Zhou felt that Su Jin was really pitiful.

Su Jin slowly took out a can of sugar-free Lulu from her bag, and after visiting it many times, she found that this was Bai Ping's favorite drink.

She took the paper cup from Xiao Zhou, poured it into the cup and asked, "How is my mother's blood sugar recently? Is it still that high?"

"The control is not bad, and insulin is given every day, but the aunt is afraid when the insulin is given. After all, it is an injection in the stomach, and she will struggle. She has a little injury on her wrist. We will try our best to be careful."

Su Jin nodded, there was no other way.

Xiao Zhou took back the Lulu beverage bottle and the pull ring of the can from Su Jin: "Give them all to me, the ring ring must not be left behind. A while ago, there was a patient in the western ward who used the ring ring to injure himself."

After taking care of everything, Xiao Zhou slowly opened the door of the ward. Su Jin walked in lightly with a glass of Lulu in hand, and the door made a sound of closing behind him.

The sound and words at the door did not attract the woman's attention at all. The woman was still holding on to the iron railing and looking out.

Her head turned to the left for a while, and leaned to the right for a while, her eyes were not focused, and she had no idea what she was thinking.

Su Jin walked over, patted his mother on the back, and then put his hand on the woman's shoulder.

The woman raised her head and opened the corners of her mouth slightly, but she ignored the girl beside her and continued to look loosely.

The wind was blowing the woman's hair, strands of broken hair hung on her face randomly, the woman blinked her heavy eyes, still motionless, as if nothing had anything to do with her.

Su Jin straightened her hair, and this action made the woman feel a little bit. She slightly turned her head towards the girl, her movements were very slow, and her eyes were numb.

The girl looked at the woman, her face was swollen, the corners of her eyes were drooping, her skin was dull, she seemed to be ten years older than women of the same age, but even so, she could still see the woman's original appearance from this sickly face.

The corners of the girl's eyes were red, she leaned her head lightly on the woman's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I found them."

8. Chapter 8

Su Jin opened the glass door, Shen Qiuhe took two quick steps with the bag in his arms, and walked into the noodle shop.

Seeing Shen Qiuhe's curious face towards the noodle shop, Su Jin was a little depressed instead.

Although he is not rich, Su Jin still wants to treat Shen Qiuhe to eat something good, but Shen Qiuhe insists on eating noodles, saying that he hasn't eaten ramen in more than half a year, and he is determined not to eat anything else.

Su Jin scratched her head, she knew that Shen Qiuhe wanted to save her money, but the woman's expression and tone of voice were so sincere that she couldn't refuse.

Since he was invited to dinner, he had to satisfy the invitee's requirements first, so Su Jin had to bring Shen Qiuhe to this noodle shop.

After entering the door, Shen Qiuhe sat down with Su Jin, and she looked around. Although the noodle shop was small, it looked quite clean.

"Yo, Xiaosu is here~~"

A big brother wearing a chef's hat shouted enthusiastically towards Su Jin.

"Could it be eating scallion noodles again? Damn, I've never seen a girl like you who is not picky about eating. You said that you have to change your style anyway. You can't eat that all at once. It's not nutritious to eat all the time."

The man who spoke was grinning, speaking enthusiastically and carelessly, but the girl who heard this still blushed.

Shen Qiuhe also looked at the menu on the wall after the man finished speaking. Scallion noodles are the cheapest, 5 yuan a bowl.

The girl didn't reply to the man's words, she just looked up at Shen Qiuhe, hesitated to speak.

The girl's embarrassment was seen by Shen Qiuhe. Shen Qiuhe knew that she was saving money. She was working two jobs. different customers.

Being able to work so hard, but only eating ramen that doesn't even contain meat for 5 yuan per meal, it is obvious that her life is in distress, and her debts have put a lot of pressure on her.

"You don't have to be so eager to pay back the money, I know you don't want to owe me, but I'm also honest, I'm not in a hurry to use the money." Shen Qiuhe said in a very sincere tone.

The girl lowered her head and rubbed the disposable chopsticks with two fingers in the thin and somewhat inferior outer packaging bag
