In the past few days of the new year, Ren Yi didn't have a good night's sleep. He repeatedly thought about everything that happened before and after him and Gong Yingxian. Those good memories were like a knife mixed with it, which made him feel heartbroken. Often when you come back to your senses, the sky is already bright.
Even so, after dawn, he still had to pretend to be on duty normally, and celebrate the new year with the soldiers and their families.
The squadron paid out their wallets for the bus, and took their family members out of town to visit popular attractions these days. Ren Yi and Qu Yangbo took turns to be on duty in the squadron. Fortunately, there was no major police incident, so Ren Yi could spend more time with his father. And secretly inquire about new nursing homes.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Ren Xiangrong said: "It's inconvenient for me to live in your squadron all the time, and it affects your work. Maybe send me back to the hospital."
Ren Yi didn't know how to tell his dad that they were going to change places.
He could tell that his father lived very comfortably in Gong Yingxian's hospital. He enjoyed the best and most professional care 24 hours a day, and the environment was good. Naturally, it was not comparable to hiring a nanny at home before, and the medical conditions there were even worse. Even the best nursing homes can't deliver.
But he would rather go back to the days when he took his dad to the hospital regularly than let anyone hurt his dad without him knowing.
Ren Yi has already contacted a high-end nursing home, and went to visit it while his father was sleeping. All aspects are very good, although the price is much more expensive than his budget, he also recognized it, anyway, he has enough food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the squadron, there is no place to spend wages.
After getting ready, Ren Yi told his dad the excuse he had thought up: "Dad, I haven't told you these few days, that hospital has adjusted its policy after the Chinese New Year, and there are no more charity quotas." The expression is not pretend, but real, although not for money,
Disappointment suddenly appeared in Ren Xiangrong's eyes: "It means that if you want to live, you have to pay for it yourself."
Ren Yi nodded with difficulty: "The fee is very high."
"... How tall is it?" Ren Xiangrong was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking.
Ren Yi whispered, "It's quite high." He was extremely guilty, he shouldn't have accepted these favorable conditions offered by Gong Yingxian in the first place, he had always trusted Gong Yingxian, and never had the slightest doubt, how could he know that Hidden behind is an ulterior motive.
Ren Xiangrong said "Oh", and said nonchalantly, "Then change it. You didn't say it earlier, I said goodbye to the doctors and nurses, and they are very good to me."
"I'm sorry, Dad." Ren Yi said sadly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ren Xiangrong patted him, "It's okay, I live everywhere, how can it be more miserable than the army, the hospital still has some things to take, you go there when you have time, and tell others for me by the way Thanks."
"it is good."
"after that… "
"I have already contacted you with a good place." Ren Yi took out a brochure to Ren Xiangrong, "The conditions here are also very good, don't worry, you won't live for a long time, when the police catch those arsonists, I will send you Take it home."
"Well, it's okay." Ren Xiangrong stared at Ren Yi, "I heard about your comrade-in-arms."
Ren Yi was startled, and lowered his head: "I don't want to tell you, I'm afraid you will worry."
"You should tell me that not only have I experienced the same predicament as you, but I am also your father."
Ren Yi smiled bitterly: "Because of this, I dare not tell you."
"After so many years, my heart has long been at peace, and one day you will be at peace too. Now is indeed the most difficult time, but you have to know that you are working hard to survive, to keep other fighters safe, and to save more It is the greatest remembrance of him, not just self-blame and sadness.”
"Ok."
"You are much better now. Residents' awareness of fire prevention has improved, all kinds of fire alarm equipment are more standardized, and the equipment and equipment you use are also advanced, so the casualty rate of firefighters and soldiers has dropped too much compared to ours at that time, but this is after all. In the most dangerous battlefield in peacetime, casualties are still unavoidable, as a squadron leader, you must not only have the courage to step into the fire, but also have the courage to face tragedy."
"Yes, the casualty rate has dropped a lot now." Ren Yi sighed, "You must have suffered even more at that time."
Ren Xiangrong stared straight ahead, but his eyes were empty: "I'm getting older, and I don't have too many intense emotions. Anyway, I will be able to reunite with them in a few years."
Ren Yi was heartbroken upon hearing this. His father was the hero he admired all his life. Since he was a child, he wanted to be like his father, so he couldn't accept Gong Yingxian's actions.
These days, there is no contact between the two, so that's fine, Ren Yi didn't even know what else to say to Gong Yingxian, he originally hoped that Gong Yingxian would find a reasonable excuse, but no, Gong Yingxian admitted , and although these things were kept from him, they were not secret and were easy to expose, but Gong Yingxian did it anyway, as if he didn't care if he found out and whether he would be angry and sad after he found out.
Gong Yingxian poked a hole in his heart, and he was still bleeding all the time.
While his father was sleeping, he drove to the hospital, planning to pack up his father's things and bring them back.
Dr. Peng, who usually received him, went on his annual leave. The head nurse on duty saw him and asked enthusiastically, "Captain Ren, are you sending the old captain back today?"
Ren Yi said, "I'm here today to go through the discharge procedures."
The head nurse was surprised: "Discharged? Why? What's wrong?"
"You can communicate with your leaders about the specific situation. I just came here today to go through the formalities and take away my dad's things." Ren Yi paused, and then said, "Thank you very much for taking care of him during this time."
The head nurse said with some embarrassment: "This... can I call the leader? The old captain is the most important patient in our hospital, and I can't make the decision."
"I can make the decision." Ren Yi said calmly, "The hospital is not a shelter, we can leave if we want."
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Captain Ren, please sit and wait for a while. I'll make a phone call. Even if you are going to be discharged from the hospital, there are still some procedures to go through. Don't worry."
Ren Yi nodded: "I'm going to pack my things first, you can call."
Ren Yi came to his father's ward, inspected the surroundings, and found that there were already traces of his father's life in this room, just like a home, and it turned out that this place was really a place that reassured him like a home.
He took a deep breath and began to tidy up. After all, it is a place where he has lived for several months, and there are still a lot of things. He couldn't finish them all in one trip, so he moved them back and forth to the car.
When I moved to the third trip, I saw the head nurse coming over with a sullen face, and said embarrassingly: "Captain Ren, the old captain's treatment is at a very critical stage, and the effect is very good during this period. It would be a pity to give up all previous efforts.”
Ren Yi was furious, but he didn't get angry at an innocent head nurse, he just said patiently, "Didn't your leaders tell you the reason why I have to be discharged from the hospital?"
The head nurse shook her head: "Doctor Peng said that he will fly back tomorrow. I hope to have a chat with you first. Don't be in a hurry..."
"No need, I'll do it right away." Ren Yi said firmly, "You go through the formalities, everything you need to sign is ready, and I will come and sign after I finish moving the things." After speaking, he turned and left.
"Captain Ren..."
After moving several times, I finally stuffed everything into the car. Ren Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at this luxurious building that was not like a hospital, let out a sigh of relief, walked towards the lobby, and prepared to be discharged from the hospital. formalities.
The head nurse didn't give him any documents, but she didn't persuade him as before, she just said: "Captain Ren, please sit here and wait for a while, we are preparing the old captain's case and relevant materials during his hospitalization, we need What would you like to drink some time?"
"No, I'll go to my dad's ward and wait to see if there's anything left. Call me when you're ready."
"OK."
Ren Yi returned to the ward, sat where his father usually sat, and looked out the window at the scenery his father usually saw.
There are many sycamores planted in the yard, and there are elegant flower beds. In spring and summer, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is pleasant. Although there are only dead branches and leaves left in winter, it has a bleak beauty.
It's just that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you look at it day after day, you will definitely get tired of it.
And his father used to have good skills of climbing over eaves and ridges and climbing walls with his bare hands. Even when he was not on duty, he couldn't stay idle for a moment. However, such a person was handicapped in his legs and feet. How cruel it was to have to work with crutches and wheelchairs. The cause of all this was the terrible explosion at the Baosheng Chemical Plant.
Ren Yi doesn't know if he will be injured one day when he gets old. According to the frequency of his current injuries and hospitalizations, he may not be able to run away, but he has no regrets. As long as a person believes that he is doing the right thing, he will will go forward.
Anyone who was familiar with their father and son said they were very similar, very similar, so Gong Yingxian questioned his father, and to him, it was equivalent to questioning himself.
Ren Yi shook his head. He had tried his best not to be idle, why did he still think about Gong Yingxian over and over again, about a person who used him and his father
Ren Yi looked at the time and decided to urge the head nurse. As soon as he walked to the door, the door of the ward was pulled open from the outside. The person who opened the door.
Ren Yi looked up, his heart probably stopped beating.
Gong Yingxian.
Gong Yingxian's complexion was very ugly, it seemed that he was paler than usual, and he was out of breath, as if he came here in a hurry. He stared at Ren Yi, as if he wanted to stare through Ren Yi with his eyes.
Ren Yi took two steps back and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, but there was an uncontrollable pain in his heart.
Gong Yingxian walked into the ward, closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "You want the old captain to be discharged."
Ren Yi mocked: "Are you surprised?"
"He's had the best treatment and care in the world here, and the results..."
"Shut up." Ren Yi said angrily, "How dare you say such things?"
"Ren Yi, I don't want to hurt your father. Hypnosis is on the premise of ensuring his safety. I will never do it again. I also apologize. You..." Gong Yingxian said it very hard. To show weakness to anyone, in the past when the two had conflicts, it was Ren Yi who took the initiative to come to him, but this time, for five whole days, he has been staring at the phone all the time, hoping that Ren Yi can take the initiative to say something to him Words, even one word.
But no, nothing, he waited from day to night, and then until dawn, without waiting for a single word from Ren Yi, not even an accusation.
Ren Yi ignored him, and this knowledge brought him unprecedented fear.
"You apologize." Ren Yi nodded, looking at Gong Yingxian expressionlessly, but the circles of his eyes gradually turned red, "I don't accept it. You suspect my father as an arsonist, which is an insult to him. Allowing him to be deeply hypnotized is a damage to his health. You did all this without telling me, and even tricked me into signing a waiver agreement based on my trust in you. This is using and betraying me. Gong Yingxian , I do not accept your apology."
Gong Yingxian's whole body was shaken, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Is the person in front of you Ren Yi? No, it's impossible, it's impossible for Ren Yi, who is always extra gentle and pampering him, to treat him like this!
