accidental preference

In May, there are still 5 days until the countdown to the college entrance examination.

Most of the students lowered their heads and quietly brushed the papers. The ceiling fan hung on the ceiling made a slight humming sound, and the warm air blowing out gently curled the hair ends of the girls at the front desk.

Yun Chen sat in the last row of the classroom exhausted physically and mentally, feeling that he might really not be able to make it through this time.

The teacher in charge had just finished talking with him, and maybe he knew that no amount of consoling words would be effective at this time, so he could only pat Yunchen on the shoulder, "Anyway, let's review with peace of mind first, and then we'll talk after the college entrance examination."

Yes, what else can I do? Let's talk about it after the college entrance examination.Yunchen opened the paper that was just handed out, unscrewed the cap of the pen and started to do the questions.

Before evening self-study, Yunchen put away his schoolbag and left quietly through the back door of the classroom. Only his deskmate Han Jie gave him a surprised look.When talking in the afternoon, he had already asked the class teacher to take a week off for self-study in the evening.

There were still huge crowds of people in front of the hospital gate, and the setting sun was shining brightly. Yun Chen blinked his pantothenic eyes, and strode towards the inpatient department.

At the beginning of the third year of high school, the family's financial situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, but this time the grandmother accidentally fell, Yunchen still gritted his teeth and sent the old lady to the well-known Zhongshan Hospital, which is not far from school and home.

Walking into the ward, Aunt Lin, the nurse, happened to move the partition curtain aside, probably just helping grandma wipe her body.

When grandma saw Yun Chen walking in, she burst into a smile, and shouted "Here comes the child" with a mild and clear accent that is unique to Jiangnan.

Yun Chen smiled and said, "Grandma, how old am I?"

"How old is my child." Grandma took Yun Chen's hand, and Yun Chen took advantage of the situation and sat on grandma's hospital bed. She looked at grandma's face carefully, her complexion was still a little pale, but her spirit was indeed much better.

"I agreed not to come, why are you here again, don't go to evening self-study!"

Aunt Lin put the washed towel on the washbasin, "Who was talking about my little grandson just now? When people came, they picked bad things to say. Xiaoyun looks handsome, and he looks better than the stars on TV. I wish he could talk about it every day." Come."

Yun Chen was a little embarrassed, he squeezed grandma's hand quietly, and said softly: "Aunt Lin, I will accompany grandma during the evening self-study these days, I will go home around 10 o'clock, and I still have to work hard to accompany grandma at night You." He turned his head to look at grandma, and acted softly: "I've already asked for leave. It's getting hot all of a sudden, and there are so many people in the classroom, I'm so bored. You have good conditions here, so I'm not allowed to come here Use the air conditioner."

Grandma was taken aback: "It's so hot outside? I was still wearing a sweater the day I was admitted to the hospital."

After a while of excitement, Aunt Lin went back to cook porridge for grandma.Grandma became a little sleepy after talking for a while, Yunchen rolled the hospital bed flat, and carefully pressed down the quilt for grandma.

Grandma lived in a three-person room, and the other two patients seemed to be resting too. Yunchen turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the ward, turned off the headlights, then took out a portable desk lamp from her schoolbag and put it on the bedside table of grandma's hospital bed. He put the list of daily hospitalization expenses on the cabinet into his school bag, and then started to study the paper.

A small lamp warmed a small corner, and the soft light cast a gentle shadow on the boy's eyebrows and eyes.

When Aunt Lin arrived at the ward, grandma was sleeping soundly, and the two finished their shifts quietly, Yun Chen packed her schoolbag and left the hospital.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I got home by subway, Yunchen took a quick shower, and then started to make mistakes in the question book.Before going to bed, Yunchen put today's hospital statement together with the bills from a while ago, looked at the balance of the prepaid fee, and thought that the nurse's desk might be notified to pay the fee, and he had to bring the bank card with him tomorrow, and put the money first. Hand it in in advance, so that grandma won't leave the hospital arguing again when she hears it.

Thinking about these things in a mess, I fell asleep in a daze. Before I fell asleep, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have forgotten to check the balance of my bank card.

It rained all night, when Yunchen woke up in the morning, the air was very fresh, most of the early summer heat had faded away, making one feel refreshed.

Yunchen bought an omelette for breakfast. Before the third year of high school, he usually ate the deluxe version with two or three eggs added. Now the omelette has been downgraded to the simple version, but the taste is not bad.

Nipping on the omelet that the boss added half a spoonful of sweet bean sauce, Yunchen felt that he was still far from being a bitter cabbage at this stage; well, even a small cabbage is still a green and watery tree. Tender, beautiful cabbage, except for the birthday every year.

Well, the cabbage on my birthday was a little wilted.

17 years ago, my mother passed away because of giving birth to him. I heard from my grandmother that his father's eyes were red and he almost crushed him to death when he was a baby. .

From then on, Yunchen and grandma depended on each other for life.Grandma didn't dare to ask whether she blamed him for so many years, but the father who loved his wife more than his own life must have resentment and hatred.Yunchen's father went to the capital alone not long after he was born, and only returned to Jiangchuan City every year on his birthday to visit his mother's grave.

Yes, his birthday is the anniversary of his mother's death.

In the second year when Yunchen learned to walk, grandma said, starting this year, grandma will take you to visit your mother's grave. Your father goes there early in the morning every year, and our grandparents and grandchildren will go in the afternoon, so that your father won't see it. Touch the scene hurt.

Grandma caressed Yun Chen's beautiful eyebrows with her warm hands, "He looks more and more like Xiao Man, if he doesn't want to see him, he should go away. But remember, your mother loves you very, very much, and she is pregnant with your baby." When I was a child, I would sing nursery rhymes and tell stories to you every day, and knit a lot of beautiful little sweaters for you, light blue, light yellow, pearl red...all her favorite colors; when she left, The eyes looking at you are so gentle and reluctant, you came to this world with your mother's full love, you are her treasure, and you will always be my daughter Xiaoman's most precious treasure."

When he grew up, he secretly flipped through his grandmother's photo albums. His mother is really the most beautiful mother in the world. She has black and white, autumnal eyes, and two dimples on her lips. She must be a beautiful woman. A girl who loves to laugh and playful, so young, so energetic, she snuggles up to her tall and handsome father sweetly, and his eyes when he looks at her mother seem to be full of stars in the summer night sky.

On Yunchen's birthday, besides visiting his mother, his father would also deposit a considerable amount of money into his grandmother's bank card.Grandma carefully calculated and took good care of Jia and Yunchen.Therefore, although Yunchen has no mother, it is better than being without a father for more than ten years, except scratching his head when elementary school students must write essays "My Mom" ​​and "My Dad", except that his stomach has been a little bit bad since junior high school, Apart from the fact that the only thing he has ever fought with his grandma since he became sensible is that he no longer eats birthday cakes. Yunchen has happily grown from a beautiful little boy to a beautiful young boy.

The accident happened when he was just in his third year of high school.

When he received the call, Yunchen thought it was a scam call. His father, as the driver, had a serious car accident.

It seldom rains in autumn in the capital, but that day it was very windy and the rain was like a waterfall. Yunchen’s father ran into an old couple who were riding a battery car. people on the road.The road was slippery on a rainy day, and the battery car turned suddenly for unknown reasons. The traffic police later checked the driving recorder. At that time, the old couple's battery car happened to be in the blind spot of the driver's seat. They didn't find out until they hit Yunchen's father.Yunchen's father suddenly pulled the steering wheel aside, but was hit by a large truck in the left lane that also couldn't stop. It is said that when 120 arrived, Yunchen's father had already died.

The old couple suffered some skin trauma and were sent to the hospital in time. There was no serious problem, but after all, they are old and it will take some time for them to fully recover.The driver of the large truck was safe and sound, the damage to the vehicle was not serious, and nothing happened to the person.

The only tragic ending of the whole accident was Yunchen's father.

Grandma's blood pressure went up when she heard the news, and it was very dangerous at one time. The old lady urged Yunchen to book her a plane ticket and rushed to the capital to take care of her son-in-law's funeral; as a family member of the driver who caused the accident , but also to fulfill the obligation of compensation as soon as possible.

Yun Chen hurriedly pulled grandma to the sofa and sat down. He held grandma's hand tightly, and said in a calm voice: "Grandma, you are not in good health. You are still at home, and your blood pressure is frighteningly high. How can I Maybe I will let you go to the capital alone. Grandma, please wait for me obediently at home, and I will pick up Dad. "

Grandma looked down at Yun Chen and clenched her hands. These hands were white and soft, with well-defined joints. Although they hadn't fully grown, they already showed a bit of responsibility. He tightly held his very old hands, very Warm and powerful.

Yun Chen half squatted beside the sofa, and threw himself into the arms of his grandmother, he murmured: "This time, I will pick up Dad home".

Yunchen asked for leave to rush to the capital, and after completing the insurance claim procedure, he left an extra sum of nutrition money for the old couple.

The capital is densely populated, and even the funeral parlors are extremely lively. Every mourning hall is crowded with people. Family members are busy welcoming and sending off, and the deceased smile peacefully in the photos.Yun Chen sat alone in the corner, accompanying his father, who was also lonely, to see him off for the last time.

Yunchen doesn't remember whether his father hugged him, if so, whether his father's embrace is as warm as imagined.When he was growing up, he never seemed to shed a single tear for this tall man with no memory because of missing or feeling uncomfortable or angry; Tears flowed down suddenly, and a large area of ​​the skirt was wet.

Jiangchuan City has always had the custom of burial during the winter solstice. This winter, the double tomb finally ushered in another owner, and the photo on the tombstone was replaced by a group photo.

The winter rain is lingering and cold to the bone marrow. In the photo, there is a pair of beautiful couples. They smile and look at the lonely boy in front of them.
