"Gulu, Guru"
As the sound rang out, Li Zhaodi woke up and saw the girl who was pushed out of the door. Her pale and thin face and body were emaciated to a certain extent. Some people believed that she was just dry firewood, hiding under the snow-white sheet. There is no sense of existence.
Even if she is this thin, there are wrinkles on her face, and even her hair is a little gray. She doesn't look much younger than Li Zhaodi, but she doesn't look like her daughter, like her sister.
Li Hua's eyes were slightly open, as if he didn't see his mother not far in front of him. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have thought that she was no longer there. The doctor just didn't save her at all.
Li Zhaodi, who had just forced a smile to cheer up and wanted to step forward, froze in place instantly when she saw Li Hua like this. Even after seeing Li Hua like this for so long, she was still heartbroken. .
Her daughter was not yet forty years old, but now she looked as old as a sixty-year-old woman. Li Zhaodi could not help but feel sad when she thought that she could not keep her daughter even so.
After the nurse sent Li Hua to the ward and put him on the bed, Li Zhaodi, who followed him back to the ward, stepped forward and put the food box on the cabinet aside.
The ward is a six-person ward, but for some unknown reason, the others are temporarily empty, so there are only two people in the empty ward, Li Zhaodi and her daughter.
From the beginning to the end, Li Hua's expression never changed, as if he was away from the world and could return at any time. Li Zhaodi was a little panicked when she thought about the doctor's words just now. She bit her lips hard and used the pain to concentrate. Suddenly her eyes lit up.
He immediately reached into his clothes with trembling hands and carefully took out a small bag wrapped in newspaper. Because it was hidden inside his clothes and placed almost close to his body, it still contained Li Zhaodi's body temperature.
After taking it out, Li Zhaodi felt relieved, as long as she didn't throw it away. Then she stretched out her withered hands and carefully opened it, wrapping it in two layers. She unwrapped it slowly for a while before finally opening it, revealing the contents inside. A simple greeting card, which she made herself, on which her daughter's favorite wild chrysanthemum was drawn when she was a child.
It looks a bit messy, but for Li Zhaodi, who only knew a few words after attending a literacy class, this was already exhausting all her efforts. She still painted it with colored pens, borrowed from Tian Fang's grandson. watercolor brushes.
Opening the simple greeting card, there was a line of calligraphy written with flying dragons and phoenixes inside, and an elegant signature below. At first glance, it looked like the four chrysanthemums just now, and it was the work of two people.
Although Li Zhaodi's movements were cautious, the movement was not small, and any normal person would want to take a look. However, Li Hua was still lying there silently, not moving at all, and seemed to be there. Not even blinking.
Li Zhaodi's eyes were slightly red, and she tried her best to blink away the glitter in her eyes, and said: "Daughter, you didn't like this designer named Qin Zhu the most back then. Do you want to learn from it? Mom didn't let you learn before, but now she knows that she was wrong. , you see I asked for the signature of designer Qin Zhu, please take a look."
Li Hua moved her fingers slightly, but there was no change on her face. However, she turned her eyes slightly and looked at the greeting card in Li Zhaodi's hand. Although she still didn't speak, she was able to react, which made Li Zhaodi cry with joy.
You must know that since Li Hua was critically ill and hospitalized a month ago, there has been no reaction. How can Li Zhaodi not be excited about such progress now
After being excited for a while, Li Zhaodi came to her senses and immediately stepped forward, carefully opened the greeting card and put it into Li Hua's hand. The beautiful font on it immediately caught Li Hua's eyes, "I wish you good health, Qin Zhu."
It was just a few words. Li Hua seemed to be looking at some cherished treasure. He read slowly, slowly, as if he was trying to remember it with all his strength. His pale, thin, calloused hands gently rubbed the card. , the movement is very small, but it is enough for Li Zhaodi.
Without Li Zhaodi's voice, the ward became quiet again. The evening, which had no sunshine in the first place, became darker and darker as time went by. The bright white lights in the ward had long been on, and Li Hua was still lying there. Silently, he held the card in his hand. If he hadn't touched it with his fingers occasionally, he would have thought it was a static statue.
Li Zhaodi didn't dare to disturb her. She didn't know how long it had been before her eyes flickered and she suddenly saw the food box. She immediately stood up and walked over in a few steps. While opening the food box, she said, "Huazi, these are the beans that mom went to pack." Chicken, didn't you want to have a meal of this when you were a kid? It's all your fault that Mom didn't let you eat it, but Mom has to let you eat it. Mom asked about it. Chef Yuan is the best chef in the country. He It tastes like when I was a kid, it’s exactly the same as when I was a kid, can you smell it?”
As soon as the food box is opened, the aroma rushes out. Thanks to the black technology of the system, it is still hot even when it is taken out.
Li Hua's reaction this time was even more violent than before, and his whole body was trembling slightly, as if he had seen the thin and shriveled little girl in her childhood, smelling the fragrant smell and swallowing hard, wanting to eat a piece. It was an obsession that she wanted to eat even in her dreams. It was a pity that her brother could eat it sweetly, but she couldn't.
She lowered her eyes slightly and saw the steaming beans and chicken in front of her, neatly stacked three fingers wide. The familiar smell made her unable to take her eyes away. This has been her obsession since she was a child. Even though she is in her thirties, she I really haven’t eaten it.
Seeing Li Hua's performance, Li Zhaodi finally smiled. She carefully picked up a piece and put it to her mouth and said, "Hua Zi, would you like to take a bite?"
For a month, most of Li Hua received nutritional injections, and a few had clear soup with little water. They just swallowed mechanically, like a robot. But as soon as the bean chicken was in his mouth, his mouth, which was originally bland and had a strong bitter taste, was greeted by... A revolution in taste.
The brown-yellow color is very beautiful at first glance. When she eats it in her mouth, it is soft and moist, with a salty and numb aroma, and a long fragrance of bamboo, which makes her mouth, which can no longer taste the taste, feel alive. After swallowing it, he quickly took a second bite.
Li Zhaodi was so excited, because Li Hua ate one after a while, and it seemed that he still wanted to eat.
"Is this bean curd delicious? It was all my fault in the past. My mother shouldn't have favored boys over girls. She shouldn't have asked you to help your brother desperately, which caused you to reach this stage at such a young age."
Li Zhaodi choked up when she said this and continued: "Mom knows that I was wrong now. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but can you still be my daughter in the next life? I promise to make up for everything I owe you in this life and treat you as my treasure." How about pampering me since childhood?"
Her eyes were already red, but Li Zhaodi still blinked hard to see and listen to Li Hua's reaction. Although she had been saying this for a month, Li Hua had not responded, but she was in a good mood today, maybe she could get it One answer.
Maybe it was a minute or a century later, Li Hua said slowly: "The chicken with beans is delicious."
The voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, but it was like thunder in Li Zhaodi's ears. Her whole body shook slightly, and tears burst into her eyes. However, she immediately turned her back slightly and wiped it hard before acting as if nothing had happened. He turned around and said: "It's delicious. Let's eat more. Chef Yuan's cooking skills are really not mentioned. What else do you want to eat? Tell mom and she will figure it out."
As he spoke, he continued to pick up a piece of bean chicken tremblingly and brought it to Li Hua's mouth. Li Hua also slowly ate it into his stomach bite by bite. Everything seemed to be no different from before.
