In front of the hospital, Tao Kai was in a hurry as he walked quickly.
A blue suit and a black backpack. It was almost the symbol of a person who had just stepped into society and changed from a university monk to a social animal.
He came to the front of the inquiry desk.
"Zheng Lihong, just sent here. Where is she now? I'm her son. "
"Please wait a moment …" The nurse looked up and then began to inquire. After a while, she said, "Zheng Lihong is now in Bed 305, Bed 20."
"Thank you!" Tao Kai hurriedly thanked and then continued to walk quickly.
He looked for the way to the ward while holding the phone, "Hello, sister, I'm at the hospital … Well, I haven't seen her yet. I'll tell you the situation when I see her … Yes, don't worry, wait for my news."
…
When Tao Kai found Ward 305, he went straight in … He found that this wasn't a common ward. There were only two beds, and they were covered by curtains.
Tao Kai was stunned. According to his sister, someone sent his unconscious mother to the hospital … Thinking of the phone call in the meeting, Tao Kai suddenly felt a lingering fear.
He directly opened the curtain and saw his mother, Zheng Lihong, sitting at the head of the bed. Beside her was a blonde woman … She was peeling an apple.
Tao Kai was startled. Without thinking too much, he shouted, "Mom, how are you feeling?"
Zheng Lihong was naturally happy to see her son. At this time, she reached out and grabbed Tao Kai's arm, "I'm fine. The doctor said that my blood sugar is too low. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Only then did Tao Kai heave a sigh of relief. He scolded and said with heartache, "I told you not to push the bicycle and sell drinks anymore. You don't earn much, and it's tiring … This time, you met a kind-hearted person who delivered the drinks for you. What if you fall in a place where there's no bicycle next time?"
Zheng Lihong made a strange face like a child, which made Tao Kai lose his temper. Zheng Lihong then winked at him, meaning that he was still there.
Only then did Tao Kai come back to his senses. He looked at the blonde woman who was peeling an apple again, and he almost lost his focus … He calmed himself down and said sincerely, "Miss, thank you for sending my mother to the hospital … Don't worry, I'll pay you back how much you've paid."
"You're welcome." The blonde girl smiled and placed the peeled apple on a plate. She cut it into small pieces. "Actually, the hospital hasn't settled the bill yet."
"I still have to thank you. If it wasn't for you … Sorry, I didn't ask for your name. Look at me." Tao Kai smiled awkwardly.
"Take good care of your mother." The blonde woman didn't seem to have any intention of telling him, but a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
But he wasn't in her line of sight … Tao Kai felt something, as though someone was walking in from behind him.
"Auntie Zheng, are you feeling better?"
"Much better. Thank you so much, little brother."
Zheng Lihong seemed to want to sit up, so Tao Kai hurriedly helped her up. Only then did he have the time to look at the person who was approaching … He seemed to be younger than himself, wearing casual clothes and looking refined.
The young man smiled and said, "This is your family, right? I've taken care of the admission procedures for you. If you have time, go and fill in the information."
"I know." Tao Kai nodded.
"Then I won't disturb you." The young man nodded at Zheng Lihong. While speaking, the blonde woman had already stood up and came to his side.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Zheng Lihong didn't have time to thank them properly. How could she let them go so casually, "Wait, little brother, can you give me your phone number?"
"No need." The young man said softly, "You've already thanked me."
Zheng Lihong was startled.
The young man lifted the bag in his hand and said with a smile, "Isn't it cheaper by two yuan here?"
He was talking about the cheaper yogurt drinks in the second row.
Zheng Lihong couldn't say anything. She only felt as though something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything … Tao Kai didn't know what the conversation between them meant.
The couple left very quickly, and even pulled up the curtain … Zheng Lihong quickly patted her son's arm.
Tao Kai finally reacted. He opened the curtain and chased after them, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't see the young man and woman in the corridor outside the ward.
Tao Kai had no choice but to return to his mother. He saw that the apple was already peeled, so he simply picked it up and poked a piece with a toothpick and sent it to his mother.
"It's rare to see such a good child and girl." Zheng Lihong sighed, "Learn from them. Don't be so impatient all the time."
"They're other people's children, haha." Tao Kai shook his head, "You listened when they told you to rest more. I told you not to sell that elixir usually, but you ignored my words."
"What's wrong with that?" Zheng Lihong suddenly glared at him, "Didn't I raise you by pedaling my bicycle every day?"
Tao Kai retreated and raised his hands to show that he surrendered. Then, he poked a piece of apple into his mother's mouth and said casually, "Oh right, I'll call sister and ask her to come back to visit you …"
Zheng Lihong shook her head, "No need. It's not a big deal anyway. She can go home at night. It takes a day to go back and forth, and she doesn't have much time. I think it's better to forget it. "
Tao Kai frowned, "Mom, it's normal for sister to come back. What's there to forget … Don't be awkward. The last time sister came back, she left after one night …"
"Stop talking, okay?" Zheng Lihong waved her hand, "I'm fine. Go back to work in the company in the afternoon. You've just joined the company, so you have to be more careful. Come and pick me up after you're done with work. "
"… Okay, but you have to promise me one thing." Tao Kai suddenly smiled and said, "Come, give me a smile."
Zheng Lihong rolled her eyes.
Tao Kai stretched out his finger and opened Zheng Lihong's mouth. Zheng Lihong stared and slapped it, "How rude!"
Even so, she still smiled in the end.
"I'll go and get some documents done before going back to the company." Tao Kai stood up and said, "If there's anything, remember to call me. This time, I promise I'll pick up immediately."
"Okay, don't. Al Shu? Xia Fengbu Sang? Huan Li? Mo?
I Huan Li βWanfu
Zheng Lihong watched as her son walked out of the curtain with his backpack. Then, he peeked his head back and told her to rest well before leaving. Zheng Lihong sighed slowly, and her smile gradually faded.
[Madam Zheng, we found a hard lump in your abdomen. We suggest you do a CT scan as soon as possible.]
[Doctor … I, I'm fine, right?]
[We'll know after the scan, but you don't have to worry too much. Even if there's a hard lump, there are many other conditions. Let's wait for the results to come out. When can we arrange for a checkup?]
[I … I'll think about it.]
Zheng Lihong sighed slowly and leaned against the headboard. She picked up her phone and looked at the screen. She saw the name on the contact list: Tao Tao.
The screen was already dry and cracked, and her rough fingers rubbed the screen a few times. In the end, she sighed.
[What, you're not coming back? Why?]
[I found a job here. I don't want to give it up …]
[But didn't we agree that you'll come back after graduation?]
[Let's not talk about it … I still have something to do here. Take care of yourself.]
…
In the evening, Tao Kai walked in from outside the ward with a cloth bag. When he saw Zheng Lihong, she had already dressed and was sitting at the bedside waiting for him.
Tao Kai smiled, "Ah, where is such a beautiful wife?"
"Go." Zheng Lihong was about to hit him.
Tao Kai dodged to the side, but a soft cry came from the bag he was carrying … It was the cry of a cat.
"What's this?" Zheng Lihong asked curiously.
Tao Kai sneakily looked around before he lowered his voice and said, "Cat, I bought it especially for you … Look!"
As he spoke, Tao Kai gently took out a furry little fellow from the cloth bag. It was furry, and its grey ears were half-folded.
"Why did you buy this for me?" Zheng Lihong opened her mouth, but the little guy was too cute. Zheng Lihong held it in her arms and liked it very much.
Tao Kai's family used to raise small animals, but they didn't raise them after they died of old age. "This is a Scottish Fold. It's very obedient and gentle … Didn't you say it was boring to be alone? Let's raise it."
Zheng Lihong stared at Tao Kai, "You're wasting money!"
"Hey." Tao Kai helped Zheng Lihong up. "Mom, now that I've graduated and found a job, my sister will send money back every month. Don't go cycling anymore, okay?"
"You little bastard, you think you can finish your job by bringing back a kitten?" Zheng Lihong sighed, "If you really want to make me happy, get a wife and give birth to a grandson for me."
"Soon, soon!" Tao Kai begged for mercy.
Zheng Lihong was surprised, "Really?"
Tao Kai said seriously, "Year by year, it's getting faster and faster. It's on the way!"
Finally, she succeeded in grabbing her son's ear.
…
…
In front of the park.
Because of the little Scottish Fold, there were more children in front of the bicycle than before. The children couldn't help but like this little guy, so there were more things to do than before.
The box of Elidor was almost sold out early.
Zheng Lihong hugged the Scottish Fold and sat at the place where she usually rested. She took out some food from the lunch box and slowly fed it.
"Ms. Zheng."
"Oh, little brother, I see you again!" Zheng Lihong heard the voice and saw that it was the young man and woman who sent her to the hospital. She suddenly smiled, "You bought so many things again?"
"Yes." The young man smiled casually, "I'm going to go on a long trip, so I bought some things that might not be available there. I bought more and saved them … Aren't you resting at home?"
Zheng Lihong shook her head and said, "It's boring at home. I want to find something to do. If I can't move in the future and can only lie on the bed, then I won't be able to pedal even if I want to. "
"What a cute little guy." The blonde girl's eyes lit up slightly at this time.
Zheng Lihong looked at the girl and was actually happy in her heart. She directly lifted the cat up. The blonde girl was still carrying something in her hand, but the young man was very considerate and carried it over.
"Isn't it cute? My little brat brought it back yesterday … By the way, you've seen it yesterday. "
The young man smiled, "Ms. Zheng, you didn't tell your family today, right? The doctor seemed to suggest that you have a check-up yesterday. Don't you want to go? "
The few smiles on her face disappeared at once. She shook her head and said, "I … I still want to think about it."
The young man said, "Well … Generally speaking, if the older generation is unwell, it's better to inform their family as soon as possible or have a check-up as soon as possible. If there's a big problem with the body, you'll be at a disadvantage. "
"That's the reason." Zheng Lihong sighed slowly, "But you don't know that it's too scary to think about it … Let's not talk about this. I'll think about it carefully."
The young man didn't say anything.
"By the way, little brother, I want to ask you something." Zheng Lihong suddenly asked at this time, "Yesterday, when you called my daughter, what did she say … Can you tell me? I was in a hurry yesterday. I didn't have time to ask you. "
The young man glanced at the blonde girl beside him.
She put the cat back into Zheng Lihong's arms and asked curiously, "Ms. Zheng, didn't you and your daughter contact each other after yesterday?"
Zheng Lihong opened her mouth and stopped talking.
The young man said softly, "You Ye, tell Ms. Zheng."
The blonde girl nodded and said, "After your daughter received the call yesterday, she was a little agitated. But after explaining it, she was fine. She still cares about you. She couldn't come here immediately. Later, she came to find your son, Mr. Tao. Otherwise, we might have to spend some time … I remember she said she wanted to buy a bus ticket back. "
"I told her not to come back." Zheng Lihong shook her head, "I don't want her to feel that I'm like this every time … as if I'm blackmailing her."
"Every time?" The young man suddenly asked.
Zheng Lihong showed a bitter smile and sighed, "Actually, I pretended to be sick several times before the New Year. Later, I was found out … So I made a scene."
"I see …" The young man nodded, and said, "But Ms. Zheng, maybe you think too much. Children can never show filial piety in front of their parents no matter how many times they do it, I believe. Miss Tao, I think you have the same idea. "
"Maybe …" Zheng Lihong lowered her head, and her fingers touched the cat's chin, "In fact, our relationship is not very good … I'm not afraid to say it and make you laugh. I'm not a good mother before."
The young man and the blonde girl looked at each other.
Zheng Lihong said slowly, "A few years ago, she had a predestined marriage. Later, I broke it up … Although the man turned out to be a bad guy, but …"
She shook her head and looked down at the obedient and motionless cat in her arms, "You, if only you can talk to me properly …"
