Wei Ruxia opened her eyes until dawn, she came out of the room, Wei Zishan was still sitting in the living room. Seeing her come out, Wei Zishan got up from the sofa and said, "Let's go."
They set off very early, the sky was not yet full, the sky was white with fish belly, and the sun had not yet risen.
The weather in mid-November had become cold and wet. Wei Ruxia, who had never been afraid of cold, closed the car window after watching the morning sun for a while.
The car was full of early morning humidity, and the silence of her and Wei Zishan.
Wei Zishan drove very fast, and when he got to his grandmother's house, the sun had just come out for a while. The wooden fence door of grandma's house is closed, and the flowers and plants of various colors compete in the small courtyard.
Grandma always got up early, and now she should be going out with the door closed. Wei Ruxia turned to look in the direction of the house leading to the vegetable garden, and she saw the straight figure in the woods.
Li Suhe wore a pair of straight dark brown trousers, a light gray shirt and a beige sweater. Holding a bamboo basket in one hand and a small iron in the other, she walked over the forest while stepping on the rising sun. There was still morning mist on the path in the forest, and grandma's white hair was pierced by the sunlight, making her whole person seem to disappear into the faint sunlight.
After Li Suhe returned home last Monday, he took medicine according to the doctor's order. This week, her body has become more and more tired, so she felt more comfortable when she woke up early this morning. She went to the vegetable garden.
The potatoes in the vegetable garden were all grown up, so she went to plan them, washed them by the creek, and prepared to make crispy potato pancakes this morning. I haven't been able to cook well for the past few days because of my unwellness.
The bamboo basket in his hand was covered with potato seedlings, on which were washed potatoes. To wash the potatoes, I put the bamboo basket in the water to wash it. I walked all the way back, the bamboo basket was dripping, and when I got home, the water was almost dry.
Before she got to the door, she looked up and saw Wei Ruxia and Wei Zishan who were waiting in front of her door. The father and daughter stood by the wooden fence door and looked at her.
Li Suhe saw the two coming together, although the distance between them still seemed very distant, she was still happy. There was a gentle light in the old man's eyes, but it was fleeting.
"Baby, why didn't you go to school today?" Li Suhe asked.
A "baby" called out Wei Ruxia's heart as if her heart was being pinched, her eyes were red, and her eyes were covered with red blood.
Wei Zishan walked over and took the bamboo basket from her hand. His voice was a little hoarse, but his expression was still calm. He only looked at his mother and said, "Mom, pack your things, let's go to the hospital."
When Li Suhe had a chest X-ray, there was a large area of shadows, and the doctor's preliminary conclusion was tuberculosis. Later, the doctor found Wei Zishan and told him that Li Su and his lungs were probably cancerous.
Wei Zishan took her to do a detailed examination again. The results came out on Sunday afternoon, and it was cancer, advanced lung cancer.
After helping grandma go through the hospitalization procedures with her father, Wei Zishan was called by grandma's attending doctor. They wanted to discuss the time of the operation, and Wei Ruxia went to the ward.
It was now in the afternoon, the sun was shining on the corridor of the hospital through the glass windows, and the familiar smell of disinfectant made Wei Ruxia a little dazed. She has spent more time in the hospital this year than she has spent in the past fifteen years. And every time she came to the hospital, it wasn't her who got sick.
The mother in the first half of the year and the grandmother in the second half, Wei Ruxia's heart seemed to be pulled down by a piece of iron, so that she couldn't even lift her chest when she walked.
Grandma was going to live in the hospital for a long time, so Wei Zishan asked friends from the hospital to help her and arranged for her a quiet single ward at the end of the corridor.
The ward was facing the sun, and the sun made the room warm and bright. Li Suhe sat on the hospital bed and turned his head to look out the window.
She changed into the hospital gown, and the wide hospital gown was still meticulously dressed by her, and even her hair was neat and neat, without a trace of mess.
The gauze by the window was moved slightly by the wind, Li Suhe heard the sound of the door opening, and turned around to see Wei Ruxia standing at the door.
Wei Ruxia looked at her with red eyes, as if she was crying. She is a very strong and optimistic child, but she is too young and has encountered a change in life. With her company, she can still bear it. And this time the variable was given to her by her, and she might not be able to bear such a series of blows.
She is tall and slender, with a slender and well-proportioned skeleton, and she is a little taller than when she first came to Ancheng. Obviously such a big child, but in her heart, she will always be a small one.
Li Su and Wei Ruxia, who were looking at the door, smiled and waved.
"Come here baby, grandma hold it."
As Li Suhe thought, Wei Ruxia was optimistic and strong. But not as she thought, she seemed to be able to withstand the variables this time.
Wei Ruxia was lying on her grandmother's arms, and her body was not completely soaked by the smell of disinfectant. Wei Ruxia and Li Suhe said to her grandma what she had just heard from Wei Zishan and the doctor.
"Grandma, the doctor said that the condition can be controlled after the operation, and it will be fine once it is controlled."
"That's it." Li Suhe touched her face and said with a smile: "Then I will cooperate with the treatment and live a good life. I can watch the baby graduate from high school, graduate from college, work, get married and have children~"
Luo Tang went to school by himself today. In the morning, he waited at the door of Wei Ruxia's house for more than half an hour. When he called and texted her, she only replied, "I'm not going to school today."
He and Wei Ruxia only had this exchange today.
Luo Tang went to ask her mother, but Yang Shuru said she didn't know. When he came home from school in the afternoon and had dinner, Yang Shuru said something to him.
"Ruxia's grandmother is in the hospital. She is very ill and needs to be hospitalized for surgery."
With his fingers holding chopsticks, Luo Tang looked up at Yang Shuru. Yang Shuru felt a little heavy after hearing the bad news.
Li Suhe was going to be hospitalized, and Wei Zishan entrusted her to find the attending doctor. Luo Tang's grandfather is a leading surgeon in the country. He used to be the director of Ancheng Central Hospital. Although he is now retired, his relationship is still there.
When Wei Zishan found her, Yang Shuru knew that such a big thing had happened to Li Suhe.
She didn't have a deep relationship with Li Suhe, but she had a very good impression of the old man. I used to occasionally meet her repairing flowers and plants in the yard, and she was a very delicate and decent old man.
"Ruxia didn't go to school today." Yang Shuru looked at Luo Tang and asked.
"En." Luo Tang put down his chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. He had just changed out of his school uniform and was now wearing a silver-white coat and black sweatpants. He wanted to take Aman out for a walk after dinner.
After taking a sip of water, Luo Tang got up and said, "I'll go out."
Luo Tang didn't go to the hospital, he put the skateboard on the side of the road that turned around the main entrance of Love's apartment, and sat down with his legs crossed. Throwing the flying saucer in his hand to the end of the road, Amansa ran to pick it up.
When Wei Ruxia came back, he happened to see A Mang picking up the flying saucer and returning to Luo Tang. Wearing a black baseball cap, the boy sat on the skateboard with his head lowered slightly, like the first time he saw him, he could only see his high nose bridge and slightly pursed thin lips. He raised his hand to touch Aman, and his slender and white fingers wandered between Aman's hair, which was particularly beautiful.
"Luo Tang." Wei Ruxia called out.
The finger on the top of Aman's head paused, and the young man turned his head, revealing a fair and gentle face. When he saw Wei Ruxia, he blinked his dark eyes, and stood up.
Luo Tang took the skateboard and led Aman and Wei Ruxia on the way home. Wei Ruxia was driven back by her grandmother, and she asked her to come back to rest and go to school tomorrow. Wei Zishan was there to take care of him, and Wei Ruxia came back obediently.
It was already dark, and the street lights on the road were turned on alone, pulling the shadows of the two and one dog very long.
Luo Tang loosened the rope, and Aman ran away first. The two looked at A Mang's dashing back, and Luo Tang asked Wei Ruxia, "Have you eaten?"
Wei Ruxia took his eyes back, smiled at him and said, "I've eaten it. The hospital meal for patients is not very tasty, but it's not sweet."
Wei Zishan asked Yang Shuru to arrange a ward for Li Suhe. He should also know about her grandmother's illness. Before Luo Tang asked, Wei Ruxia said it herself.
"My grandmother is in good health. The doctor said she will have an operation next week. If the operation is successful, she will be discharged after the Spring Festival."
It’s almost December now, and it’s autumn and winter with short days and long nights. Time actually goes by very quickly.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the house. Wei Ruxia raised her head and glanced at the yard of Luo Tang's house. She raised her eyes slightly and said in surprise, "You have already planted it?"
The yard of Luo Tang's house is full of lawns, and the endless flower branch is particularly eye-catching among the green grass.
Thinking of this, Wei Ruxia remembered her infinite flower branch, her mind went blank, and she didn't know where to put it.
"I planted it last night." Luo Tang replied.
Wei Ruxia smiled and looked up at Luo Tang. She hadn't slept all day and night, and her mind was a little sleepy. Rubbing his temples, Wei Ruxia said, "It's time for me to go home and sleep."
She turned around, put her fingers on the combination lock, and the pads of her fingers touched the combination keys, feeling a little awkward. Wei Ruxia turned around, looked at Luo Tang who was still standing behind her, and asked, "Does everyone have to leave in the end?"
Under the brim of the hat, Luo Tang's face was illuminated by the street lamps, and Qing Jun's brows had a look that Wei Ruxia couldn't see through. The young man's voice was clear and clear, like clear spring water, gurgling by, driving away her troubles at once.
"I do not know."
He can accompany her to school, and he can accompany her through this life.
Luo Tang's words left Wei Ruxia stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she looked at Luo Tang, the corners of her eyes curved, and she laughed. She touched the combination lock and said, "Okay."
He said at the beginning: Is there still me
Wei Ruxia walked through the yard, arrived at the door, entered the password, opened the door and walked in. Inside the heavy door is an empty, dark home.
Closing the door, all the strength that supported her was instantly pulled away, Wei Ruxia sat on the ground and leaned her head against the door, tears streaming out.
After grandma was hospitalized, Wei Ruxia started running from both sides of the school and hospital, and Wei Zishan's work gradually dropped. He still didn't pay much attention to her, but he was in a much better state than the enemies who had never met before.
Li Suhe's operation was quite successful, but there is no guarantee that there will be a recurrence. She has been hospitalized since the operation, and this hospitalization lasted until the winter vacation.
As soon as the winter vacation arrived, Wei Ruxia simply moved into the hospital with her belongings and concentrated on taking care of her grandmother. Wei Zishan asked Aunt Li to cook at a fixed time every day and bring it to the hospital. Wei Ruxia was in the hospital to accompany Li Suhe and help her deliver something.
After the operation, Li Suhe lost a lot of weight, and the hospital gown looked wider. She was sitting on the bed, beside Wei Ruxia who was raising her bed. Li Suhe looked at Wei Ruxia and asked with a smile, "Aren't the baby cold?"
Now that it is winter, Wei Ruxia only wears a short jacket, which is a sweater and trousers. Her legs are slender and slender, and she looks extraordinarily thin.
"I'm wearing cashmere trousers inside." Wei Ruxia grabbed the trouser legs and smiled to show grandma the layer of cashmere trousers inside her trousers.
Li Suhe patted her leg with a smile and said, "Is it cold in winter in the south?"
Wet and cold are indeed much colder than dry and cold, but Dongzhen is in the far north, and the lowest temperature in dry and cold is minus 30 to 40 degrees, so she can actually withstand the wet and cold of minus 10 degrees in the south.
She was also afraid of Li Suhe when she wore cashmere pants. In fact, she wasn't cold at all, but a little hot.
"It's okay." Wei Ruxia lifted the quilt to grandma and asked, "What do you want to eat at noon? I'll tell Aunt Li."
"I really want to go back to the Spring Festival." Li Suhe said, "I haven't had a Spring Festival with our baby yet."
The question was interrupted by grandma, Wei Ruxia turned to look at grandma, she pursed her lips, thinking about the arrangement of the hospital, she would definitely not be able to leave the hospital during the Spring Festival.
Sitting down beside the bed, Wei Ruxia said, "You can also live in the hospital."
Reaching out and pinning Wei Ruxia's bangs behind her ears, the girl's cheeks were white and flushed, her face was much hotter than her fingertips, she felt the temperature of her fingertips, and Wei Ruxia said, "That's different. When I get home, I can make rice cakes, dumplings, dumplings, and make lanterns with you."
In the hearts of the elderly, the Spring Festival is still the biggest festival of the year. They are at home with their relatives, busy preparing, watching the children eat their own meals, and they feel satisfied and warm in their hearts.
This year's Spring Festival is going to die. Wei Ruxia was thinking about how to comfort her grandmother when the phone rang. She glanced at it, and the grandmother beside her said, "Is Luo Tang?"
Wei Ruxia had few friends in Ancheng after all, and Luo Tang sent her almost every phone call and text message. Wei Ruxia smiled, said "yes", and answered the phone.
Just after the winter vacation yesterday, Wei Ruxia went home and packed her things and came to the hospital, and she never contacted Luo Tang again. I thought he was looking for something to do with him, but I didn't expect Luo Tang to call because he wanted to see Li Suhe.
Luo Tang and his family do not usually live with their grandparents, so during the winter and summer vacations, they basically return to the Luo family's mansion. The Luo family's mansion is in the south of Ancheng, next to Anjiang, not too close to the city.
After visiting Li Suhe this time, he will go back to the Luo family mansion with his mother tomorrow morning. To meet Wei Ruxia again, it must be after the Lantern Festival starts.
After the two met, they saw each other almost every day. Thinking of not seeing each other for so long, Wei Ruxia felt a little inexplicable.
Hearing that Luo Tang was coming, Li Suhe was very happy. She could see the weight of Luo Tang in Wei Ruxia's heart. Although the two were not childhood sweethearts, they would grow up with each other in the future. Even if they get married in the future, they will still be each other's best friends.
Not long after hanging up with Luo Tang, Wei Ruxia heard a knock on the door. He didn't expect him to come so quickly. Wei Ruxia hurried to open the door. Immediately she smelled a scent of flowers.
Luo Tang bought a bunch of flowers. He stood behind the bouquet, wearing a black coat and a grey-black plaid cashmere scarf tied around his slender neck. The teenager was wearing a baseball cap and a white mask. When Wei Ruxia looked up at him, he was pulling the mask down. When the mask was pulled, the white face of the boy was exposed, and Wei Ruxia's eyes opened slightly.
Having seen it so many times, Wei Ruxia is still amazed by Luo Tang's appearance, which is clean, comfortable and good-looking.
Seeing Wei Ruxia's light brown eyes open and round, she is holding a bunch of flowers, and her white face is hidden behind the lilies, which makes her temperament unfathomable. Luo Tang's Adam's apple moved slightly, he pursed his lips and asked, "What's wrong?"
Holding the flower, Wei Ruxia just smiled and didn't answer. She got up and stepped aside and said, "Come in."
"Luo Tang is here?" Li Suhe called out with a laugh when he heard the voice at the door.
Luo Tang entered the door, nodded to Li Su and Wei, and called out, "Grandma."
When she was just hospitalized, Yang Shuru brought Luo Tang here once. At that time, Luo Tang called her "Grandma Li", but later asked her to correct it as "Grandma"
He had a good relationship with Wei Ruxia, and Li Suhe also regarded him as a half-grandson in his heart, and it would be kinder to call him "grandma".
"Hey." Li Suhe watched Luo Tang and Wei Ruxia come in together, and said with a smile, "Did you buy me flowers? Thank you, I like flowers the most."
Seeing Luo Tang, Li Suhe also forgot about going home for the Spring Festival. Wei Ruxia smiled and said, "Luo Tang, you help me cut an apple for grandma, and I'll go and put the flowers."
Luo Tang responded, pulled up a chair and sat down, then took the apple and fruit knife on the small table in front of the window. The boy held the apple with his fingers, and his well-proportioned knuckles were slightly white, delicate and beautiful.
Wei Ruxia arranged Luo Tang well, and Luo Tang obeyed her arrangement. The relationship between the two seemed to be better than during the National Day.
Li Suhe looked at the young man's low profile face, her spirit was not very good, and it seemed that she had exhausted her strength just talking to Luo Tang and Wei Ruxia.
In the bathroom, Wei Ruxia was picking up water, and the sound of the tap was gradually draining away like her life.
"Luo Tang, can grandma ask you one thing?" Li Suhe looked at Luo Tang kindly, with a serene smile on his lips.
The movement of his hands did not stop, Luo Tang looked up at the old man and replied, "You say it."
Li Suhe looked at the boy's eyebrows, and his voice suddenly softened, as if he was deliberately not letting others hear.
"Take care of Xia Xia, she has no other friends."
The old man's words stopped Luo Tang's hand movements. He looked at Li Suhe's thin face, as if speaking to her, but also to himself.
"It's okay, it's enough for her to have me."
The author has something to say:
Tangtang: I can accompany you to school, and I can accompany you through this life.
