Xiang Yi was going to go home and take a shower before going to the hospital.

He changed his clothes and put on a long-sleeved jacket before going out, for fear that when he went to the hospital, his elder brothers and aunts would be worried if they saw the scars on his arms.

When Xiang Yi showed up in the ward with three takeaway wontons, Xiang Dongzheng told his aunt a joke, and the two laughed happily. Looking at the picture, Xiang Yi felt that no matter how much hardship he endured, it was worth it.

After dinner, Xiang Yi chatted with his aunt about light topics.

Xiang Dong has not been out of business for the past few days, and has been taking care of his aunt in the hospital. When the visiting time is over, he asks Xiang Yi to go back to rest. Xiang Yi said that there is nothing to do in the company these days. The nurse, Xiang Dong couldn't beat him, so he decided to go home and take a bath to rest.

Xiang Yi fetched water to wash his aunt's feet, saw that it was still early after she fell asleep, and he was not sleepy yet, so he decided to go downstairs to smoke a cigarette, but when he looked up, he saw a person poking his head at the door of the ward, who seemed familiar.

Xiang Yi hurriedly followed, only to see a middle-aged man in a gray shirt quickly disappear around the corner of the stairs.

"Jiang Liru?" Xiang Yi called tentatively.

The man stopped in his tracks, turned around slowly, and looked at Xiang Yi with embarrassment written on his face.

Xiang Yi's heart sank, how could this man appear here.

The figure of Jiang Liru appeared in his life when he was very young.

His aunt Ren Jinglu, when she was 22 years old, took on the responsibility of taking care of her two nephews during a woman's best time.

Ren Jinglu was very beautiful when she was young, and had many suitors, but with the existence of Xiang Yi and his two brothers, those men who pursued her were discouraged.

In Xiang Yi's memory, there is a man who often appears in his aunt's house. He has a handsome face and can always make him happy by taking out candies like a magic trick.

He remembered that whenever the man coaxed him to call him "uncle", my aunt always blushed and kept her mouth shut.

Later, it seemed that my aunt gave birth to a younger sister suddenly, and the man came less and less often, but my aunt's eyes were filled with more and more tears.

The man who made my aunt happy and made her cry was the middle-aged man in front of me, Jiang Liru.

When Xiangyian was young, he didn't know what was going on between his "uncle" and his aunt, but later he gradually became sensible and understood what kind of man Jiang Liru is.

Ren Jinglu and Jiang Liru are the same batch of employees who entered the textile factory. The boys are at the age of marriage and the girls are at the age of marriage. They are talented and beautiful, and their love is vigorous.

But later, Jiang Liru married the factory director's daughter and became the deputy factory director while swearing eternal love to his aunt. Only then did my aunt know that she was cheated by this man, and she asked him to reason, but she was ridiculed by other people in the factory. Forced to leave the textile factory.

After Jiang Liru's wife gave birth to a daughter, she did not want to have another child and had her daughter circumcised. The patriarchal Jiang's parents blew their beards and stared angrily, but there was nothing they could do.

Jiang Liru himself is not satisfied with having a daughter. He believes that having no son means having no descendants, and there are three types of unfilial piety: having no descendants is the greatest, but he is known as a filial son.

Since his wife was unable to bear children, Jiang Liru had the idea of ​​finding another woman to bear him a son.

But he was afraid that things would be revealed and affect his future. He was very afraid of his old father-in-law, and after thinking about it, he thought of Ren Jinglu who had a deep affection for him.

Under the fierce attack of sweet words and considerate care, Ren Jinglu finally fell into the tender trap of her ex-boyfriend and the only man she ever loved deeply.

When Ren Jinglu was pregnant, Jiang Liru danced happily and promised that if Ren Jinglu gave birth to a son, he would immediately divorce and marry her.

However, God's wishes failed. When Ren Jinglu gave birth to her daughter, Jiang Liru only left 1000 yuan and left in despair.

Since then, Xiang has never seen this man again.

"What are you doing here?" Xiang pulled Jiang Liru into the corridor and lowered his voice. He didn't want his aunt to know that Jiang Liru was here.

"Yiyi, you've grown up so much." Jiang Liru's eyes dodged a little.

"I'm asking you something." Xiang Yi said in a bad tone.

"My father-in-law is hospitalized, and he is also in the cardiology department. I saw your aunt in the corridor today. Is she also hospitalized? What's wrong with her?"

"It has nothing to do with you, stay away from my aunt, our family doesn't want to see you." Xiang Yi's eyes were full of disgust.

The doctor said before that my aunt's heart is not good, most of it is related to long-term depression, and my aunt's depression and resentment are all thanks to this man.

Jiang Liru wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I think so too, my wife comes to the hospital to see my father-in-law every day, and I don't want her to bump into your aunt."

Jiang Liru looked a little uncomfortable. His wife knew about the relationship between him and Ren Jinglu, and they had been arguing about it for a long time.

"Then you might as well rebuild a hospital to only receive your family members." Xiang Yi said coldly.

Jiang Liru acted as if he didn't hear it, "By the way, how is Xixi, how is she?"

"She has a mother who loves her and two brothers who love her to take care of her. It's very good. If you dare to bother her, I won't let you go."

After letting Jiang Liru go, Xiang Yi was depressed, at this time Xiao Liu called and said that he happened to be passing by the hospital and asked Xiang Yi to have supper.

When Xiang Yi came down, Xiao Liu was already waiting for him downstairs, riding an electric bike. After Xiao Liu graduated, he joined an insurance company, which is what people call "insurance runners". Eat and drink with clients.

"Where's your second-hand Santana?" Xiang Yi asked...

"I went to dinner with a client. I thought I was going to drink, so I didn't drive, but I didn't drink much. I happened to pass by the hospital. I thought maybe you were there, so I called to try my luck."

"What do you want to eat?" Xiang Yi handed Xiao Liu a cigarette, but Xiao Liu didn't take it.

"I still don't smoke anymore. I already smoked a lot at the dinner party today, and my daughter won't let me kiss if I smoke it home." After a pause, he continued: "I've had some wine and want to eat roasted kidneys." .”

There was a barbecue restaurant on the corner of the street. They sat down outside and ordered a handful of roast lamb, a handful of kidneys, some vegetarian dishes, and two bottles of beer.

"By the way, what happened to the West City beer agency?" Xiang Yi was entangled in various matters a while ago, and he kept forgetting to ask Xiao Liu.

"Hey, I couldn't borrow any more money, and my wife didn't support me very much, so it was a bad thing. Fortunately, my family of 5 people paid me back everything." Talking about this, Xiao Liuman face regret.

"I'm sorry for you."

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about, you will be offended if you say this." Xiao Liu was dissatisfied.

"Oh, by the way, I went to Ningyuan County on a business trip yesterday. The school where we lived before has been pushed to rebuild the staff dormitory building."

Speaking of Ningyuan County, it seemed as if they had returned to the days when they were interns there a few years ago.

"Hey, think about it back then, it was better to be a student, carefree, now..." Xiao Liu sighed while chewing on his waist.

"What's the matter now, when you go home and have a wife and children on the kang, don't you just earn less money, people have to learn to be content."

Xiang Yi sometimes felt that among his classmates, Xiao Liu was actually considered successful, and he didn't view success from a worldly perspective. He had a job, a family, and a naughty and cute little girl, which was great.

Xiao Liu nodded, but sighed deeply, "Fourth brother, you are right, but life is a mess..." Xiao Liu had a girlfriend when he was in school, and he married his son as soon as he graduated up.

Xiaoliu's stepfather didn't want to spend money on him after he graduated and worked, so the marriage was all paid by the woman's family.The parents-in-law paid them a down payment on the house in Xicheng, and they officially settled down in Xicheng.

But as the passion in love recedes, life is more about firewood, rice, oil, salt, children's diapers, cans of milk powder, and monthly mortgages. Life starts to stretch, and there are more quarrels between husband and wife. After getting up, many times, Xiao Liu couldn't bear it anymore, but every time his daughter called him daddy in a milky voice, she felt that there was nothing she couldn't bear.

"Who's life isn't a mess." Xiang Yi recalled the experiences of the past two days, Li Hai and Mr. Yang's experiences, which were bloodier than novels. Compared with their ups and downs, these little things in their lives really Nothing at all.

Before finishing a bottle of beer, Xiao Liu's daughter-in-law called to urge him to go home quickly. Xiao Liu put down the bottle, took two more bites of mutton skewers, and went to pay the bill.

"I'll pay the bill, hurry up and get out." Xiang Yixiao scolded.

"Okay." Xiao Liu put away his wallet, sat on the electric car, and said to Yi, "fourth brother, next month is your daughter's third birthday, don't forget to buy a beautiful little skirt."

"Remember..."

After Xiaoliu left, Xiang Yi was still sitting. He was used to going to bed late, and he couldn't fall asleep even when he went back to the hospital. It would be better to drink beer on the street and enjoy the breeze, but for no reason, a feeling of loneliness came from the bottom of his heart born.

When he finished eating the last skewer of roast mutton, the phone rang and Mu Zhongqian called. After hesitating for a long time, he still picked up.

"What are you doing?" Mu Zhongqian's tone sounded a little tired.

"Drink beer with skewers." A bottle of beer will not make him drunk, but alcohol is a very wonderful thing, which makes him miss Mu Zhongqian suddenly when he hears Mu Zhongqian's voice.

"So cozy, with whom?"

"Xiao Liu has gone home, and I am left alone."

"Did you take your medicine on time?"

"Yes." Xiang Yi lied casually.

"It's no wonder you take your medicine on time." Mu Zhongqian blamed, paused, and sighed, "Xiaosi, I miss you."

"Oh." Maybe it was because of the alcohol, he felt his cheeks were a little hot.

"Yesterday, Luo Yunqing called me because there was something for me to help. Before that, we hadn't contacted for a long time."

"Why did you tell me, I didn't ask." Xiang Yi bit his lip.

"I don't want you to think too much."

"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"You left without saying a word, just because of an inexplicable phone call? I'm a little angry, but I miss you very much after a busy day today. I want to contact you more than continue to be angry with you." Mu Zhongqian always In this way, be honest with him and say what is in your heart.

Hearing what he said, Xiang Yi couldn't hold it any longer, "Then you drove back all night tired and didn't know how to report it was safe? Don't you know that I'm worried?"

Obviously, through the receiver, Xiang Yi felt the surprise on the other end of the phone, "Little Si, are you worried about me?"

"Forget it, forget it, don't be hypocritical." Xiang Yi was a little upset.

"I'll go back in two days, wait for me obediently." When Mu Zhongqian's voice softened, there was an indescribable tenderness.

"Got it, I got it, I have to go back to the hospital to stay with my aunt, you should go to bed earlier."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yi paid the bill and walked back. Sometimes he felt that there was something between him and Mu Zhongqian.

The more awkward and open-mouthed, the more comfortable he is, but once Mu Zhongqian treats him gently, he loses his senses like a panicked child, and doesn't even know where to put his hands.

Hey, I don't want to think about it, but when he thinks about the inseparable and unspeakable emotional entanglement between him and Mu Zhongqian, he feels a headache.

He walked aimlessly on the road, and when he passed a small temple, he bought three pillars of high incense and went into the temple to worship.

If he can bear the pain instead of my aunt, he is willing to bear everything. My aunt's surgery is scheduled for two days later.

It is said that a famous doctor invited from another hospital performed the surgery. Xiang Yi never believed in the power of faith, but he was more devout than anyone else when he knelt on the futon and begged the Bodhisattva to bless his aunt for a smooth operation.

If he knew what happened on the day of the operation, he would never spend 100 yuan to buy three sticks of incense, let alone waste such pious feelings...
