I gave my father to Brother Chun, and Brother Chun is mine.

——An Yuan's Diary

The canteen was about to close, and when Shen Xingchun and An Yuan walked to the vegetable window with their lunch boxes, they saw that there were only a few vegetables, eggplants and potatoes left, and the canteen staff wearing white hats were collecting the empty plates.

Shen Xingchun took the lunch box and packed a set of meals for Sun Xue and Zhang Mei, and then asked people to pack the few remaining dishes.

The cafeteria is small, with only two tables. The cafeteria staff and several doctors in white coats are eating. The seats are full, except for a bench in the corner that is empty.

Shen Xingchun was carrying a lunch box and sitting on a long chair with An Yuan, the two of them were head to head, eating the meal from the same dinner plate.

Although the dinner plate is not small, and the food inside is also very full, but both of them are half-sized children who are growing and can eat, one meal is obviously not enough, An Yuan thought of listening to Sun Xue in the ward about Shen Xingchun all afternoon He didn't even eat, so he put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites.

Seeing that he didn't eat anymore, Shen Xingchun asked: "There are still so many, why don't you eat?"

"I'm full," An Yuan took the lunch box from Shen Xingchun's hand, "I'm carrying it, bro, you eat."

Shen Xingchun knew that An Yuan would be on the road all afternoon, so it was impossible for him to have time to eat, so he wanted himself to eat more.

Shen Xingchun tapped the top of An Yuan's head with the tip of his chopsticks, took the plate from An Yuan's hand, put a piece of potato in his mouth, "We're full, there's a canteen next to it, I'll buy some later Bread mat."

An Yuan looked at the potatoes in his eyes, opened his mouth to eat them with a smile, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and continued to eat, "Okay, I want to eat that kind of bread with sandwiches."

"Okay, I'll buy you sandwiches." Shen Xingchun sandwiched another piece of eggplant for An Yuan.

An Yuan ate the eggplant and said, "I want strawberries."

"Okay, I'll buy you strawberries..."

The two of them didn't stay too long in the cafeteria. They went out to buy bread and went back. Zhang Mei was still asleep, with one third of the water left, and the child in Sun Xue's arms had already woken up, sitting on her mother's lap and playing with her fingers.

Shen Xingchun put the lunch box on the table and asked Sun Xue to eat, "Fifth Sister, eat first."

"Okay, are you full?" Sun Xue asked.

"I'm full." Shen Xingchun said.

Sun Mei opened the lunch box to eat, and the child in her arms looked up at Shen Xingchun and An Yuan vaguely. A few seconds later, she moved her little hands and feet, twisted a few times in Sun Xue's arms, and babbled something. Still spitting small bubbles.

Shen Xingchun bent down and touched Xiaoya's little hand, and said, "Fifth Sister, you eat, I'll hold the child."

Sun Xue handed the child in her arms to Shen Xingchun. Shen Xingchun had never held a child before, so he took the child with stiff hands, slowly straightened up, not knowing what to do, and stood upright.

Sun Xue said: "She can sit now, and she can be hugged while sitting. She is a bit heavy, so she can sit on your lap."

She took the child again, changed her position, and put the child on Shen Xingchun's lap after sitting down.

An Yuan looked a little funny at the nervousness of his brother hugging the child, and squatted down to tease the child, "It's so cute, is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl." Shen Xingchun took the child's hand and poked An Yuan's face and said, "Her name is Xiaoya, and she is nine months old."

Xiaoya stared at An Yuan for a few seconds, and when Shen Xingchun poked An Yuan's cheek with her hand again, he started giggling, thinking it was very funny, he stuck out his soft little tongue at An Yuan.

An Yuan touched her chubby little feet, raised his chin at her and said, "Xiaoya, call me uncle."

Shen Xingchun said: "You're only so old, you can't speak yet."

"How old are you who can speak?" An Yuan asked.

Shen Xingchun didn't know how old a child would be before he could speak, so he asked Sun Xue who was eating, and Sun Xue answered that he would be able to speak slowly after one year old.

An Yuan teased the child for a while, and wanted to hug her too, so she opened her arms and said, "Brother, I also want to hug for a while."

"Are you okay?" People who can't hold children themselves questioned others.

An Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I'll give you a hug."

Shen Xingchun supported Xiaoya's waist with one hand and her legs with the other, and slowly sent them to An Yuan's open hand.

Xiaoya likes An Yuan very much, as soon as An Yuan hugged her, she kept smiling at An Yuan, touching An Yuan's face with her little hands, poking his face, and poking his chin.

An Yuan is better than Shen Xingchun at holding a baby, and she got used to it in 2 minutes, she can hold her baby while sitting or standing, proudly said to Shen Xingchun, "Look, she still likes me a little more."

"You look good, so I like you." Shen Xingchun was sitting on a low stool, with his long legs bent, his hands dragging his chin, watching An Yuan walking around beside him with the child in his arms.

An Yuan raised his eyelids, the end of his eyes unconsciously curled up, and he turned around and asked him, "What's so good about me?"

"Everything looks good." Shen Xingchun replied with a smile.

Shen Xingchun used to praise An Yuan for his good looks, saying that his eyes were very bright and watery, that his lips were very red, that he was very white, that he was very clean, that he was very fragrant...

Sun Xue on the side finished her meal and answered, "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

"They all said that." Shen Xingchun said.

Shen Xingchun said something else to Sun Xue, all about him and An Yuan.

An Yuan hugged the child and walked around Shen Xingchun's side, with her ears pricked, listening to Shen Xingchun's words very seriously.

Zhang Mei woke up when the doctor came in to pull out the needle after hanging up the bottle. After she woke up, she was obviously still in a daze. Seeing that Shen Xingchun was still there, she thought she was dreaming, so she asked a few vague questions until After Sun Xue said that Dachun was still there, she laughed.

After pulling out the needle, the doctor asked them to go back: "The family members can take the patient home directly, there is no need to stay."

Sun Xue walked up to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, didn't you say you have to stay for a few more days?"

"No need to stop," the doctor looked at Zhang Mei who was already awake on the hospital bed, then turned to Sun Xue and said, "The family members come out with me."

Shen Xingchun went out with Sun Xue, the doctor didn't beat around the bush, and said very straightforwardly: "The patient doesn't need to be hospitalized anymore, and there's no use in staying here, only a painkiller injection, I'll prescribe some painkiller for you to go back to take, patient I believe that your family members should know the specific situation, and you can eat whatever you want after you go home."

Sun Xue couldn't hold back, and burst into tears, "Doctor, how long is it?"

The doctor thought for a while and asked, "Is the patient's previous condition not very good?"

Sun Xue nodded, "It wasn't very good a week ago, the pain was severe, but it got better a few days ago, I thought it was all right."

"You have also seen the current situation. The family members should make preparations in advance. It may only be a few days."

As soon as Zhang Mei heard that she didn't need to be hospitalized, she was of course happy. She knew her physical condition, and she didn't want to spend any more money. When Shen Xingchun and Sun Xue entered the door, she was still covering her aching stomach with her hand, saying that she was dead. ,I want to go home.

An Yuan and Shen Xingchun slept in the same room at night. The room was not big, and the windows were small. Even when it was opened to the maximum, it was still very hot and stuffy. It was dark outside, with no stars or moon, and no cool breeze blowing in.

An Yuan felt that Shen Xingchun was turning over constantly, and asked, "Brother, can't you sleep?"

"Well, kind of."

An Yuan turned over and asked Shen Xingchun: "What did the doctor tell you to go out before leaving the hospital?"

"It is said that my mother's condition is not very good, and the doctor said to let the family members get ready, it will only be a few days."

Frogs croaked in the pond not far from the window, uninterrupted, adding a bit of boredom to the airtight hut, An Yuan listened to Shen Xingchun's soft sigh after the words fell.

He moved to Shen Xingchun's side again, put his hand on his stomach, and patted it comfortingly.

"I don't have a mother either. I haven't seen what my mother looks like since I was a child. There are no photos at home. My dad said she died very early and didn't leave any photos. I used to always dream, but my mother's face in the dream It's blurry, but I guess she looks a lot like me, because my father and I only have a nose and ears."

An Yuan's voice was very soft, but it was very clear amidst the croaking of frogs, "Brother Chun, I don't have a mother, but I have a father. After my father comes back, I will give my father to Brother Chun. I have everything I have." for you……"
