The person who opened the door for me was an aunt. She was stunned when she saw me, and then asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm Yuan Yi's colleague, and I came here specifically to see Yuan Yi." I said with a smile.
Maybe I didn’t look like a bad person, so the aunt looked at me a few times and let me in.
As soon as I entered the room, I found that the room was very simple. Apart from the necessary furniture, there were no extraneous items. The most eye-catching thing was the large bookshelves on the four walls. The bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books. I After just a cursory glance, I found that most of them were books about Taoism, and the rest were books on psychology and some books on geography.
I put down my things and said to my aunt, "Are you Yuan Yi's mother?"
The aunt poured me a glass of water and said: "I'm not, I'm a retiree from the agency here. My wife is gone and my children are not around. Then I received a notice from above asking me to take care of this child. Not only did I , and there are several people taking turns taking care of him. This child is quite pitiful."
Yuan Yi is already a middle-aged man, almost 40 years old. In front of these aunts, of course he can also be called a child. It turns out that these aunts are the ones arranged by the above to take care of Yuan Yi.
But when aunt said that Yuan Yi was pitiful, I felt sad for a while. I always thought of Yuan Yi falling down in front of me. I pointed to the two bedrooms and asked: "Aunt, which room is this Yuan Yi in?" ?I want to go see her."
The aunt pointed to one of them and said: "That's the children's room. The other room is where his daughter lives. His daughter will be back from school later."
The heater in the room and the hot water in the cup had successfully driven away my coldness. I took off my coat and listened to what my aunt was saying, but when she said this, I couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, Where is Yuan Yi’s lover?”
"Where is the lover? Xiao Yuan is from the geology team. He is running around outside all day long. His lover can't stand it and divorced him a few years ago. Oh, you are his colleague. You don't know about this. Huh?" the aunt asked rather gossiping.
I was a little embarrassed and said: "Yuan Yi and I have only been colleagues for more than a month, but we have a very deep relationship. I watched Yuan Yi get into trouble, and then I felt very uncomfortable. I came to see him. We were getting along. At that time, he didn’t tell me anything about his family.”
"Oh, then you are very thoughtful. It has only been a month since you remembered to see him. Nowadays, people in this world are so busy that there are not many good young men left. Go ahead and go." The aunt said while sitting on the sofa Sitting and knitting.
I breathed a long sigh of relief. I was really worried that this aunt would talk endlessly and it would be difficult for me to leave. Fortunately, this aunt was still a cheerful person.
When I walked into Yuan Yi's bedroom, I found that the curtains were drawn and it was dark. I couldn't see much clearly, so I opened the curtains on my own initiative. The light coming from the snowy window was a bit dazzling, but it was still enough. Give this room a little life.
I turned around and saw Yuan Yi sleeping deeply on the bed, with a calm and peaceful expression, as if he had just fallen asleep. Seeing this, I felt sour and couldn't help but move a stool and sit next to Yuan Yi. Said: "Brother Yuan, this is the first time I call you this. I really want to tell you that when you are awake, you always have a proud expression, but when you are asleep, you are a very calm person. But I really hope you are awake, even if you still look like that, I feel better than you are now."
If I said this on a normal day, Yuan Yi would definitely respond tit-for-tat, or give me a roll of his eyes and ignore me again. But now there was no way he could respond.
My spiritual sense is strong, and I can feel that Yuan Yi's soul is not out of the body, but that his soul is very weak. It is too weak to keep him awake and take any actions, and it is too weak to know whether he will wake up in this life. hope.
You know, if you lie in bed for a long time, your body functions will gradually decline. No matter how good the care is, it can't stop this. Life depends on exercise.
We were silent for a while, and I felt more and more sad. After all, if it weren't for my predicament at that time, Yuan Yi would not be in this situation.
At this time, I was addicted to smoking without knowing it. When I felt depressed, I couldn't help but want to light a cigarette. I took out the cigarette, lit it, and said to Yuan Yi, who couldn't speak or respond. : "Brother Yuan, now my friend is in trouble, and Master has to leave for three years. Master once said that I have to repay the consequences of my own karma. Otherwise, once the seeds of karma are planted, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive for three lifetimes." I owe you. Wait, wait until I finish this matter, I will search for experts in medical treatment, and then find a way to cure you. If it doesn't work, I will change your destiny for you. !”
I exhaled a puff of smoke, and I didn’t know why I said such words, changing my fate against the will of heaven!
But my life was saved by Yuan Yi, so what if I changed my life against fate? I am willing to bear the consequences of changing my destiny against heaven, and even bear the consequences of Yuan Yi. There is a way to bear the consequences together, but there are too few people who are willing.
Just when I was smoking a cigarette and thinking wildly, I heard something moving outside. It seemed like the aunt was opening the door. Could it be that Yuan Yi's daughter was back
I suddenly felt a little nervous in my heart. I always blamed Yuan Yi for being like this on me, so when I thought about facing Yuan Yi's daughter, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Sure enough, voices rang out in the living room, and a girl was heard saying crisply: "Grandma Zhang, have you worked hard?"
"Hey, why am I working so hard? Your dad doesn't make any fuss. He just washes the quilt, looks after you and feeds you something. Don't gay men do it every day for things like getting up? By the way, someone came to see you today. Where’s dad.”
"Who?"
"A colleague of your dad's is in your dad's room. You're out of school, so I'll go home first. There's something else going on at home."
"Well, okay, you're busy."
"Child, why are you so polite? I'm here to take care of your dad. I'm paid by my employer."
At this point in the conversation, there was no movement outside, and my heartbeat couldn't help but get faster and faster. I heard a footsteps slowly walking in, and then stopped at the door. I didn't dare to look back.
Just when I was feeling anxious, a hand reached over and snatched away my cigarette. Before I could react, the cigarette was severely stamped out on the ground. Then, the figure didn't stop for a moment. After stopping, he jumped to the window, closed the curtains with a bang, and turned on the lights.
At this time, I raised my head in a daze, and the first thing that caught my eye was a handsome, somewhat angry face.
While I was still organizing my words and thinking about what to say, the girl had already spoken, speaking quickly and urgently: "I know you are my dad's colleague, and I am very grateful to you for your kindness in coming to see my dad. But you don't You know? You can't smoke in front of patients! Moreover, my dad used to like to close the curtains when sleeping. He is a light sleeper. If there is any movement outside or a brighter light, he has to wake up. This is my dad's habit. I know. ?"
This volley of words was not polite, but I didn't feel angry at all. She was indeed Yuan Yi's daughter. Just like her father, she was careless and straightforward, and she didn't even know what to call euphemism.
But it cannot be denied that she is also a good child. She is so polite to the aunt who is looking after her father. She is so straightforward and speaks straightforwardly to the guests who come to the door. This shows that her gratitude to the aunt is also sincere.
And people who know how to be grateful are generally good people. This is something my parents have taught me since I was a child, because they don’t like people who owe others and are very grateful.
My impression of this girl is not bad, even very good.
I was just embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment. I lowered my head and held it in for a long time before I said, "I'm sorry."
But I didn't expect that at this moment, a cup of hot tea was pressed into my hand, and then the girl smiled and said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter. I was too powerful just now. Did I scare you? Uncle?"
Well, I didn't even notice when she went out to make tea for me. Also, the title "little uncle"... I'm really not used to it.
As the saying goes, time is not forgiving, have I become what others call an uncle
At this time, the atmosphere was a bit silent. I was holding the teacup and didn't know what to say, but the girl didn't care at all. She had already sat next to Yuan Yi, straightened the quilt and put pillows for him, and then said: "Dad, you Are you hungry? The doctor said you can only eat liquid food. I'll make you some meat porridge and feed it to you. Also, dad, the results of the final preliminaries came out today, and I am ranked first in the class. You It would be nice if you wake up early so you can look at my paper and sign it for me."
Hearing this, I clenched my tea cup, feeling sad for a while.
But the girl smiled heartily and said: "But, Dad, it doesn't matter. Just wait for a few more years. I am now a sophomore in high school and I will be admitted to university in one year. I will definitely be admitted to the best medical university in the country." , I will cure you when the time comes, really, hehehe..."
This kid is really strong. I felt hot in my heart, and suddenly I remembered Yuan Yi’s lifelong wish. I couldn’t help but say one sentence: “Do you want to learn Taoism?”
