one day…
five days…
seven days…
Today is another Saturday.
It's a sunny day today, with plenty of sunshine.
The lighting in Dong Xuebin's dormitory was pretty good. He lay on the bed and basked in the sun. He didn't get up from the bed until eleven o'clock in a daze, feeling exhausted.
Tired.
It's almost killing me.
This week he was almost exhausted.
It was finally time to rest for two days. Dong Xuebin stretched out with lingering fear, put on his shoes and went to the bathroom to wash up. Jiang Fangfang has asked for leave. Since last week, almost everything in the county government belongs to Dong Xuebin. If it is a big thing, forget it, but it is all a trivial matter. Dong Xuebin does not dare to make decisions directly. He has to go back and forth every time. After deliberation for a long time, I felt that there was no problem before I dared to make a decision. County Magistrate Jiang trusted himself and gave this stall to himself. Dong Xuebin definitely couldn't fool him. Of course, he had to do it carefully, and there were more than just those piled up by County Magistrate Jiang. The work that came down was also busy with the dormitory project and Dong Xuebin's own responsibility. It was like he was doing the work of two people by himself, almost day and night. Hey, don't mention it anymore. . Fortunately, County Magistrate Jiang's family didn't have anything to do. After the cremation, they went to Jin City to take a boat to the sea. Otherwise, Dong Xuebin really couldn't even breathe.
Alas, I don’t know how Sister Jiang is doing.
The first seven chapters are almost over, why haven’t you heard from me yet
While worrying about Jiang Fangfang's condition, I made myself something to eat and had lunch. Suddenly, my cell phone rang.
It's Jiang Fangfang's number!
"Hey, Xuebin. Me." Jiang Fangfang's voice was still so light.
Dong Xuebin perked up. Hearing him call him Xuebin, the title of County Magistrate Jiang immediately changed, "Sister Jiang, where are you following?"
"At my mom's place."
"How is auntie's health?"
"Still like that, always confused." After a pause, Jiang Fangfang said: "Oh, by the way. I never told you that my mother has Alzheimer's disease for several years."
"What about you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. My mother's mood has also recovered a little. No one has stopped her from birth to old age, illness or death. What can I do if I don't look away? Right?"
Dong Xuebin breathed out, relieved.
Jiang Fangfang is indeed still the same Jiang Fangfang, too strong.
"I will go to work on Monday in two days and have also said hello to the county. I heard from Xiaona that you have been very busy these days. Thank you for your hard work, County Magistrate Dong."
"It's not hard, I just miss you all the time. I want to call and ask, but I don't know what to say. I'm a stupid person and I don't know how to comfort people." This is really the truth. Dong Xuebin has looked through Jiang Fangfang's name in the phone book of his mobile phone countless times these days, but he has never made a call.
"You've got your heart set on it, it's fine now."
"Well, are you going back to the courtyard today?"
"Let's talk about it on Sunday and Monday. I have to spend more time with my mother."
"Okay. I'm relieved to hear your voice. Are you busy?"
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Fangfang did not hang up the phone. Instead, she seemed to have something to say, "Have you had lunch?"
"I just ate, I made some noodles."
"Oh. What noodles?"
"I originally wanted to eat braised noodles, but it was too troublesome and I had to soak mushrooms and so on. I was too lazy to do that, so I made fried noodles with soybean paste to save trouble."
"Zhajiang noodles, you in the capital like to eat them."
"Yes, the noodles with fried bean paste are fragrant and save time. Hey, in fact, the serious old Beijing fried noodles with soybean paste also saves time and effort. They are too particular and there are many kinds of dishes. I can't even eat them by myself. It’s not that particular, just make up your mind and you’ll be done with it.” After saying this, Dong Xuebin reacted, “Hey, why did Sister Jiang talk to me about this?” Are the parents short-sighted? Have you ever heard her gossip on the phone before
Jiang Fangfang paused for a while, "What are you doing in the afternoon?"
"Afternoon? Stay at home. You won't go to the work. The things over there have basically been dealt with." Dong Xuebin blinked his eyes, a little bit aware that Sister Jiang was talking about this and that in a roundabout way. There was something wrong. Come find me, "Sister Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Fangfang said calmly: "It's nothing."
Dong Xuebin sweated and said, "What's the matter? Are you polite to me?"
Jiang Fangfang said: "Actually, I don't want to trouble you, but..."
Dong Xuebin was very happy, "Just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
He pondered, "As I said just now, my mother has been quite confused over the years. She is just like a child. She often loses her temper with me and my father, and her mind... often forgets things."
Dong Xuebin sighed and said, "This is difficult to handle. Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?"
"Well, I have been undergoing treatment for several years, but it has no effect."
"I also know some people in hospitals in Beijing, can I help you contact them?" Dong Xuebin thought Jiang Fangfang wanted him to arrange a good hospital for her mother.
Who knew that was not the case.
"I have also taken her to the hospital in Beijing, and it is the same. The symptoms have not been relieved." The tone paused for a moment, "I want to trouble you with another matter. Well, in my mother's opinion, my husband has always been My dad and I had told her more than once before that she was not dead, but my mother didn’t believe it. In the end, she got so anxious that she went on a hunger strike and got angry. One time she even almost jumped off the building, which scared me and my dad too. I didn’t dare to mention it anymore, and she followed everything she said. She always thought that my husband was still alive. That’s why I lived alone in the past few years, not with my parents, because I was afraid that my mother would ask about my husband. Why didn't you come?"
Dong Xuebin snorted.
"My dad passed away, which was a big blow to my mom, and her illness got a little worse. I asked my husband more than once in the past two days, and asked him why he didn't even come to see his father-in-law after his death. I was very angry. "No, I got angry again. I haven't eaten since last night. I won't eat until he comes to see my husband." Jiang Fangfang said, "You also know that I am not a beggar." But there is nothing I can do this time. My mother is not in good health. She hasn’t eaten for a whole day. How can she bear it? She can’t take nutrient solution every day, right? , I can’t do it alone.”
Dong Xuebin wiped his sweat, "What do you mean?"
"My mother's understanding is still stuck many years ago. You and my husband look almost exactly the same, so I want you to come over and help me and fool my mother."
"Is this okay?"
"This is the only way."
"Oh, but what if the secret is exposed..."
"No, my mother is confused."
"Then, then... OK, I'll give it a try." (Your support is welcome, it is my biggest motivation.) RV
