Shi Youtian slept a lot today. He took a nap after returning from the hospital, and then slept again after lunch. When he woke up, he felt that his whole body ached from sleep. He wanted to get up and take a walk. His wife Sun Xiufang was still there next to him.

He was sleeping soundly next to him. It was thanks to the old lady who took care of him day and night these days.

Shi Youtian slowly sat up and lowered his eyes. His eyes moved on Sun Xiufang's face over and over again. He might not be able to see her for long in the future.

Although he came here to see a doctor, he was prepared in his heart that his illness would probably never be cured, and he came here just to give himself hope.

The old woman has been married to him since she was 17 years old. During these years of ups and downs, she has been suffering most of the time. The girl who was as green as a green onion has unknowingly become an old woman. Counting on her fingers.

, the old woman followed him as if she had never enjoyed a day's blessings. In the first half of their lives, the two of them were busy giving birth to and raising children. In the second half of their lives, they were busy worrying about their children, saving money, building houses, and marrying wives. They have six children, thanks to

Without Dayong’s help, I don’t know what the family would be like.

Shi Youtian slowly moved out of bed, held on to the wall, and walked slowly to the window. He wanted to get some air and look at the scenery outside.

In just a few meters, Shi Youtian moved for a long time. Although he can still eat now, he eats very little and basically eats liquid food. The nutrition brought by food cannot support the operation of his body. He is now very tired.

He was so thin that he had a dove-shaped face, and his placket shirt hung empty on the frame. He felt that his legs weighed a thousand pounds, and he finally stood in front of the window with trembling calves.

He put his hands on the window sill and looked out the window. The scenery outside was not much different from the city in his hometown. There were many houses lined up on both sides of a main road. There were only three colors of the houses. One was the original color of cement.

, one is painted with a layer of white lime on the outside of the cement, and some are simply the original color of red bricks.

The green trees planted on the roadside are the same as those in my hometown. Poplar. This kind of poplar grows very fast and becomes useful in just a few years. But it is very annoying when the flowers bloom in the spring. Its cotton wool is flying everywhere. Follow me.

It's like snow, and it catches fire when it's touched, forming a sheet as soon as it touches it.

The clothes of the people on the street are similar to those in the hometown. The man under the big tree is dressed very similar to Dayong. Speaking of resemblance, not only are the clothes similar, but his figure is also similar to that of his eldest son. Shi Youtian's age

He was so old that he didn't recognize Shi Dayong at first due to his dim eyesight. At first glance, he looked like his eldest son, so he couldn't help but take a second look. With his concentration, he immediately recognized that this was his eldest son, Shi Dayong.

Shi Dayong had been wandering around outside for a long time, throwing cigarette butts on the floor. He leaned against a big tree, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, took another cigarette from the box and put it in his mouth.

Shi Youtian just looked at his son quietly under the tree. At this point, Dayong had clearly come out of the hospital. What he was holding must be the hospital's examination results. Looking at his son's expression, he knew that the result must be bad.

, otherwise his son would have come to tell him the good news a long time ago, and he would not be so worried.

Hot tears fell down involuntarily, and his eyes were so hazy that he couldn't see anything clearly. Shi Youtian gritted his teeth and cried silently. The old woman was sleeping soundly, and he didn't want to wake her up.

Shi Dayong was tired of standing. He bent down and sat directly on the root of the tree. He took out the cigarette case and prepared to smoke another one. But when he opened the cigarette case, he found that it was empty. There was no cigarette left. He angrily took out the cigarette case.

The cigarette box was balled up into a ball and thrown into the distance. He lowered his head between his knees and remained motionless.

Dayong is a good boy. He knew that the child was feeling uncomfortable, and he wanted to comfort himself as a father. Shi Youtian shed tears silently for a while, and then wiped his face clean with his sleeves. After standing for a while, he also stood

Unable to hold on anymore, he moved his arms to the side, found a chair, and moved himself up.

He accepted his fate. He would always die when he arrived. It was just like riding a train. Some people got off early and some got off late. He just missed a few stops.

It feels like life is just passing through one level after another. Shi Dayong sat under the tree for a long time. After all, it was not the case that he never returned to the house. He stood up and walked back to the hotel. He was still a little hesitant at the door.

, and pushed the door open with a final push.

There was a sound of "squeak-", and Sun Xiufang suddenly woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes suddenly, and first looked at Shi Youtian next to her. She was surprised that she didn't see anyone. "Yong's father!" she shouted,

I hurriedly sat up and saw Shi Youtian sitting on a chair by the window. I felt relieved and couldn't help but blame him: "Dad, why didn't you call me when you got up? Oh, Dayong is back."

"Yeah." Shi Dayong agreed. He glanced at his father secretly, but did not dare to take the initiative to speak.

"Did you get the results back? What did the doctor say?" Sun Xiufang took the information from Shi Dayong's hand and opened it one by one. To be honest, Sun Xiufang was illiterate and couldn't understand the contents at all.

After looking at it horizontally and vertically for a while, I still didn't hear Shi Dayong's answer. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious and asked: "Tell me quickly, what did the doctor say?"

"That..." Shi Dayong was very embarrassed. He sorted out his words in his mind and thought about how to speak.

"Boss, mother Yong, come here, I want to tell you something."

"What's going on?" Sun Xiufang took the test results and walked over to look at them.

"Boss, go and move a chair for your mother." The old woman was timid, and Shi Youtian was afraid that what he said would scare his wife and cause her to fall to the ground if she couldn't stand.

"Hey." Shi Dayong moved the chair over from the bed and asked his mother to sit down.

"Why do you have to sit down and listen?" Sun Xiufang sat down, worried in her heart, and looked at Shi Youtian: "Sit down, you can talk."

"Cough! Cough!" Shi Youtian covered his mouth with his fist and cleared his throat. His voice was still hoarse, but his words were clear: "Boss, dad already knows, you don't need to say anything." "What? Dad, you know?"

Dad, how did you know?" Shi Dayong didn't believe it. Dad had never been out since he came back from the hospital. How did dad know?

"Don't worry about how I know this, Damn Yong, I'm telling you, my disease can't be cured."

"Don't talk nonsense. Dayong hasn't spoken yet. How do you know it's not good?" The old man's words were unlucky. Sun Xiufang stopped him quickly and turned to Shi Dayong: "Dayong, tell your father quickly, what did the doctor say?

Come on, tell me, look at you kid, how can you be so impatient when you say something?"

Shi Dayong did not dare to accept his mother's gaze. He turned his gaze to the window, and suddenly saw the big tree where he had just been. He looked at where his father was now, and he understood in his heart that his every move below was watched by his father.

In the eyes.

"Dad." Shi Dayong wanted to speak, but Shi Youtian waved his hand to stop him.

"Mother, don't embarrass the child." Shi Youtian grabbed Sun Xiufang's hand. He could feel that the old woman had begun to be afraid, and her hand was shaking slightly: "Old woman, don't be afraid. Sooner or later, people have to leave here.

step."

"How did it come to this? Dayong, didn't you say it might be benign? Dayong, boss!" Sun Xiufang didn't want to believe it. She pinned her last hope on Shi Dayong, but her son's evasive eyes were silent.

His expressions all told him that what Shi Youtian said was true.

Sun Xiufang felt that all her strength had been drained from her body. Fortunately, she was sitting on a chair, otherwise she might have collapsed to the ground.

"Old man..." Sun Xiufang buried her face in Shi Youtian's skinny palms. She shrugged her shoulders and kept sobbing. Her warm tears instantly wet Shi Youtian's palms and fell from between her fingers.

Shi Youtian closed his eyes and let the tears slide down his cheeks. He tremblingly stroked Sun Xiufang's gray hair with his other hand. After being married for more than forty years, the one person he owed the most in his life was his wife: "Fuck him bravely..."

Shi Youtian was filled with guilt: "I owe you in this life, and I can only pay you back in the next life."

Sun Xiufang shook her head, and Shi Youtian's hands were covered with snot and tears: "I don't need you to survive, I want you to live well and pay back in this life. Old man, you haven't paid back what you owe me in this life, you can't leave, you can't leave.

…”

The scene of the old parents hugging each other and crying deeply hurt Shi Dayong's heart. He stood frozen in front of the window with tears streaming down his face.

After a long time, the sobs gradually weakened. Shi Youtian patted Sun Xiufang on the shoulder and said, "Mother Dayong, let's not cry anymore, Dayong." Shi Youtian looked at his son.

"Hey, Dad." Shi Dayong quickly wiped away the tears on his face and turned around: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"You go check out, and we'll go home." Shi Youtian thought that since it couldn't be cured, he should go back, which would save him a night's rent.

It was almost dusk, the golden sunset was shining over, and the window was golden. Shi Dayong looked at the sky, a little embarrassed, "Dad, it's not too early to leave at this point. It will be dark when we get halfway, so why not leave early tomorrow morning?"

Bar."

"It's bad. Let's drive slowly. It's better than being several dollars cheaper than others." After saying that, he looked at Sun Xiufang: "Old lady, go and pack your luggage." Shi Youtian is very stubborn. As a member of the family,

For a long time, I have always said what I say is what it is.

"Hey." Sun Xiufang wiped her tears, got up and went to work.

Shi Dayong didn't want to make his father unhappy, so he went to the counter to check out, "Comrade, check out in 102."

The waiter calculated the amount. When Shi Dayong saw that there was a discrepancy between the amount and the amount he calculated, he was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Comrade, did you make a mistake in your calculation?"

"I didn't make a mistake." I saw that this person had never stayed in a hotel. He didn't know that hotel check-out is usually before 12 noon. If it is after 12 o'clock, you will still be charged. The waiter told Shi Dayong seriously:

"Comrade, it's already past 12 noon. If you check out after 12 o'clock, you will be charged half a day's room payment."

Is there such a thing? He thought for a moment and decided not to pay the bill yet. It just so happened that he didn’t want to drive at night. Yesterday, his father took a nearly three-hour drive to get here and he hadn’t rested yet. He would rush back today.

My current body may not be able to bear it.

When Shi Dayong returned to the room, Sun Xiufang had almost packed everything. He said to Shi Youtian: "Dad, I asked just now. Even if we don't stay here today, we still have to pay for half the day."

"What? You're not charged for one night's stay. Why are you still charged for staying here if we haven't spent the night? Isn't that unreasonable?"

Shi Dayong spread his hands and said helplessly: "Dad, everyone rules like that, what do you think we should do?"

Shi Youtian calculated the accounts angrily. Really, if I don’t live here and you still charge me for half a day, I will suffer a loss no matter what. We can’t do things that cause losses. He thought for a while and said: "Dayong
Chapter completed!
