In the hospital.

The doctor on duty came over to check the old lady's body, stood in the corridor, and said softly to her younger brother and sister: "This is a normal reaction. Her lungs are severely blocked and her breathing is difficult. In layman's terms, she coughs and coughs up blood because the dirt cannot be discharged and the lungs are not energetic..."

"Doctor, isn't it over for people who always cough up blood? Think of a way to give her an injection or something, and treat her first." The younger brother and sister said anxiously.

"...It's OK, but it's useless." The doctor frowned and said, "Because in my experience, she has lung cancer, you'd better make plans early."

"Isn't the pathology yet?"

"I said it, based on my experience." The doctor whispered: "The specific results must be waited for the pathology to come out."

The younger brother and sister were stunned for a while: "Isn't the inspection done well last year?"

"Her age is here, and her physical function is getting worse day by day." The doctor explained softly: "Besides, she has never quit smoking, which is one of the main reasons for the worsening of the condition."

“…Is there no chance?”

"Wait for the pathology." The doctor responded very tactfully.

The younger brother and sister were speechless.

...

night.

Gu Xiao lay on the bed in the black hotel, tossing and turning without any sleepiness.

"Di Lingling!"

A phone ringing sounded.

Gu Xiao sat up after slamming his neck, took the phone and pressed the answer button: "Hey?"

"Brother, my mother coughed up blood again just now. I asked the doctor... He said it was not very good." The younger brother and sister said in a crying voice.

When Gu Xiao heard this, he lowered his head and was silent for a while: "Okay, I understand."

"Do I want to tell Xiaohan?" asked the younger brother and sister.

"It's useless to tell him, let's do it first."

Gu Xiao hung up his phone, rubbed his cheeks with both hands, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, looked out the window quietly, and sucked in mouthfuls.

It was almost two o'clock in the evening, and Gu Xiao finally couldn't help but feel worried. He stepped out of bed and changed into another set of clothes, and hurriedly left the hotel.

On the street.

Gu Xiao bent down and sat in the taxi, saying expressionlessly: "Master, go to the Second Hospital."

"Haol." The driver nodded and drove away.

After driving less than two kilometers, Gu Xiao suddenly asked, "Master, do you know where there are Northeast dumplings here?"

The driver was stunned, looked down at the car watch and replied, "It's time, the hotel is almost closed."

"Help you find it." Gu Xiao replied politely.

The driver thought for a while: "There are snacks on the street of the nightclub, but it's so far away."

"It's okay, go." Gu Xiao nodded.

After driving for more than half an hour, Gu Xiao threw 200 yuan to the driver and asked him to wait on the side of the road. He got off the car and entered a barbecue restaurant run by people from Northeast China.

"Boss, can you make dumplings?"

"There are dumplings." The boss nodded with a smile.

"Give me a celery stuffed with some soy sauce, vinegar and minced garlic." Gu Xiao stood at the door and said, "Pack it in a thermal box."

"It's all convenient boxes, so where can I get a thermal insulation box?"

"...I'll give you an extra hundred yuan." Gu Xiao lowered his head and took out the cigarette box.

The boss greeted him and said, "In the kitchen, I'll have a celery-filled dumpling."

Gu Xiao was smoking a cigarette and sat on the chair and waited quietly.

The boss looked at the TV and asked, "Brother, who should I bring it to? I have to use a thermal box?"

"My mother." Gu Xiao responded for a moment.

The boss was stunned: "Is the road quite far?"

"In the hospital." Gu Xiao lowered his head and responded.

"ah!"

The boss nodded and didn't say anything.

About fifteen minutes later, the Northeast waiter who was leaving the dishes came out with dumplings.

"In my son's insulated lunch box," the boss casually ordered.

"Okay." The waiter returned to the kitchen and took out the lunch box.

"How much?" Gu Xiao stood up to pay.

"It's okay to throw it away fifteen yuan." The boss responded casually.

"That won't work, the lunch box will cost 100 yuan." Gu Xiao lowered his head to check the money.

"Forget it." The boss said carelessly: "It's not easy for our fellow villagers to make money outside. There are several lunch boxes in my house, so I'll give you it."

Gu Xiao was stunned and felt uncomfortable inexplicably: "My family belongs to Guangx."

"The old lady is from the Northeast, right?"

"Of HeiLjiang." Gu Xiao nodded and responded.

"My home is also from HeiLjiang." The boss sighed and said, "I have been here for nine years. I will go out tomorrow and go back to my hometown."

"Thank you." Gu Xiao nodded heavily.

...

Nearly an hour later, Gu Xiao carried the insulated lunch box from the stairwell to the hospitalization department on the fourth floor. While turning his head and looking around, he hurried to the door 409 and pushed open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the younger brother and sister immediately turned around and shouted, "Brother!"

"Did mom sleep?" Gu Xiao asked.

"...She seems to be in pain, can't sleep, and is awake." The younger brother and sister stood up and responded.

When Gu Xiao heard the sound, he immediately walked to the bed, bent down and shouted: "Mom."

The old lady slowly opened her eyes, looked at Gu Xiao with muddy eyes, and raised her dry and thin arms with difficulty.

Gu Xiao leaned over and grabbed his mother's palm with his right hand: "...I...I'm back to see you."

The old lady seemed to have no strength to speak and just nodded at her son.

"Mom, I'll feed you some dumplings. I just bought them." Gu Xiao whispered.

The old lady's face turned red when she heard the sound, she coughed twice, and nodded.

Gu Xiao turned around and winked at his younger brother and sister-in-law, who immediately went out to the corridor.

Under the light, Gu Xiao opened the insulated lunch box, opened the disposable chopsticks, sat next to the old lady and said, "...I won't let you suck... You won't be obedient... Your children won't suffer, you will suffer, mom."

The old lady opened her mouth in a daze and didn't say anything.

Gu Xiao was afraid that the old lady could not chew it, so he poked the dumplings with chopsticks and dripped them into her mouth with some garlic sauce.

In the ward full of disinfectant smell, Gu Xiao stared at the old and bloodless cheeks. After feeding her two dumplings slowly, the old lady shook her head and waved her hands to signal that she would not eat it.

"Eat two more." Gu Xiao advised him.

The old lady reached out and grabbed Gu Xiao's arm, her eyes closed and she didn't say anything.

Gu Xiao looked at her quietly, sitting with a blank expression on his face.

After a while, the old lady breathed and fell asleep. Gu Xiao covered her lunch box, slowly got up, walked towards the door, and took the phone to shake her brother and sister's cell phone.

After the younger brother and sister came back, they looked into the room and saw the old lady sleeping, and said in surprise: "She has been unable to sleep well these days, but this time you come back, she fell asleep... It's such a strange thing."

Gu Xiao lowered his head and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Prepare for the funeral."

When the younger brother and sister heard this, they were stunned on the spot.

Gu Xiao's eyes were red, and he took out the cigarette box and said, "Mom is waiting for me... I'm back, my wish is gone, she can't stand it."
