It's incredible that I'm going to rent a house during the epidemic.

Tong originally thought it would be easy to rent a house in the off-season, but it was difficult to meet the landlord at once. Many communities were not allowed to enter, so renting a house was not realistic at all.

Now he has two houses under his name, one he bought himself, and the other one that his mother had lived in before. Both houses can be lived in, but Tong Tong has many concerns.

First of all, the house he bought is in a relatively remote location, and Lao Tong has always lived in. Now Lao Tong is hospitalized, so he has made room for his family, but the house he lives in is occupied by others. What will Lao Tong feel in his heart?

As for the house my mother lived in before, Tong Tong was even more reluctant to let others live in. In his mind, that house was like a holy land, a paradise for their family of three. He was grateful to Lao Yu, but Tong Tong could not treat him as his father, so he could not accept him living in the house of the family of three.

After thinking about it, Tong Tong still let them live in the house he bought. In the hospital, he told Lao Tong the truth. Lao Tong didn't move for a long time, and finally said, "There is such a thing! You really found your mother!"

"Well, she suffered a lot. She was often bullied in that small fishing village, and her health was also in trouble. I took her out and let her live at home first. After a few days, the epidemic will ease and I will look for other houses. Anyway, I will definitely not let you squeeze together, and there will be no conflicts over the house."

Lao Tong smiled and said, "That's the house you bought. Whoever lets live in it is your freedom - I say this, not to be angry, but to be honest. I am already very content with you for me. As long as you admit that I am your adoptive father, I don't care about anything else."

Old Tong finally got to know her. Tong Tong was very moved by the heartfelt words he said. "Although you are my adoptive father, you have raised me for so many years. Now I am the only father. Don't worry, concentrate on treating the disease, and leave everything else to me."

Tong Tong cleaned up the house. Old Yu was very reserved, while Su Zishan looked at the new environment calmly. Tong Tong helped them put down their luggage and said to them: "Uncle Yu, just live in my dad's room. He is in the hospital now and will not come back for a while - Mom, please stay in my room! Now I am also in the hospital and I will not come back often. Go out from the north gate of the community and walk across the road. You can see a life supermarket, which is very convenient to buy vegetables. In addition, the masks and alcohol are placed in the entrance hall. Don't forget to disinfect when you go out. Uncle Yu, I will call you for the living expenses this month. I can support you before you find a job."

Tong Tong arranged it so thoughtfully that Old Yu had no room for refutation. However, he still said stubbornly: "If you find a job for me, then I will thank you. I won't need money. I have money in my hands and save some money, and three months will not be a problem."

"Okay, if you don't accept it, I'll give it to my mother." Tong Tong took out an envelope from his pocket and put it in his mother's hand: "Mom, take this money, remember, don't suffer any grievances."

Su Zishan hesitated, Tong Tong said nothing and stuffed the envelope into her pocket. He tried to pull his mother's hand, but her mother did not resist, which made him overjoyed.

"Tongtong?"

She called out softly, and Tong Tong wishfully thought that she was calling his nickname "Tongtong", which made him cry.

After lunch, Lao Yu was tired and went to the room to rest first. Su Zishan's cleanliness became ill and kept cleaning the room. Before the Chinese New Year, Tong Tong cleaned it, which was quite clean, but Su Zishan cleaned it very carefully. She cleaned all the corners that Tong Tong had not cleaned.

Tong Tong felt very warm, but a little sad - her mother's hands were playing the piano, so she shouldn't have done these rough work. But her mother was willing to do it. She happily cleaned and hummed the pop song "I Like You" a long time ago. Perhaps, when she was in love with her father, this song was their bgm!

I finally had the breath of my mother at home. This feeling was so happy. Mom hummed a song, and Tong Tong listened with a smile. Mom's singing came to an abrupt end, and Tong Tong immediately became nervous.

Su Zishan was cleaning the cracks on the sofa and grabbed a black sock with her fingers.

I don’t remember one day when I took it off. I must have been too tired and forgot to clean it up. Tong Tong snatched the socks and blushed to his ears. On the other hand, he felt very lucky, but fortunately it wasn’t underwear, so he would be even more ashamed.

Teacher Meng asked him to develop a good habit of hygiene, but he was a boy after all, so it would be nice to be able to keep his face clean. He was definitely not as careful as his mother. Thinking of this, he walked into the bathroom to clean the sock. He put soap on, rubbed it a few times, and then prepared to rinse it. Who knew that his mother reached out and took away the socks from his hand.

My mother put soap on again, put it in a basin, and smiled at him slightly, as if she was signaling him not to worry. Tong Tong remembered that a long time ago, grandma said that she had to soak the dirty clothes for a while before washing them. He thought that he had lived alone for so many years, and except for cooking, he scored full marks in survival skills, but he didn't expect that all of those skills were loopholes.

Tong Tong scratched his ears embarrassedly, but Su Zishan smiled softly, as if saying - It doesn't matter, mom comes to teach you. It doesn't matter if you can't learn, mom comes to take care of you.

My mother doesn't speak and doesn't remember the past, but as long as she stands there, it makes people feel at ease.

After an hour of busy life, every corner of the house was cleaned up. Su Zishan sat down with satisfaction and took a leisurely sip of tea. There was a book on the tea table, a very old magazine, with two vigorous words "典明" printed on the cover.

The book was deliberately placed there by Tong Tong, and there was an old photo in the book - given by Lao Han, who took a photo of them in Yanyuan.

Su Zishan gently flipped through the book and turned her head from time to time, as if she was recalling something. Her back was straight, and the sunlight shone in from the window and fell on her, and every strand of her hair shone with a gentle luster.

Tong Tong sat down beside her, pretending to be careless and asked, "Mom, what are you looking at?"

Su Zishan ignored him and was still immersed in the world of "Thorny Mang". Tong Tong was extremely nervous. He looked forward to his mother remembering her passionate youth, her good friend, and the man she loved in her life - Shu Yunkai.

But Su Zishan read "The Stinger" over and quickly put down the book and smiled at Tong Tong. She just finished reading it and remembered nothing.

Tong Tong hid his disappointed look very well. He said naturally: "This is a magazine you founded with my father when you were young. Unfortunately, it went bankrupt after only one issue was released. I don't know what happened back then. If you remember, can you tell me?"

Su Zishan seemed to have not understood what Tong Tong said. Her smile turned into an "embarrassing and polite" smile. Piano, magazine, photos, and all the ways to inspire her memory were used, but Su Zishan still did not change anything, and Tong Tong had no choice.

Regarding the mother's symptoms, Tong Tong consulted Hao Mengyuan as soon as possible. He doubted whether his mother became autistic after being greatly stimulated. Hao Mengyuan said that as far as the professional term "autism" is concerned, it is not sudden, but it is congenital. Confirming autism requires a series of precise examinations, but autism has obvious symptoms, such as not looking at people, having stereotyped behavior, and having an unusual interest in certain things. "I have been a volunteer in a rehabilitation center before, and have contact with all kinds of autistic children. Some have clenched hands and bleed their hands and kept bleeding; some are very persistent in pulling the door handle, and they have to observe as long as they see the door handle; some have very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the book must be placed according to the thickness or size, otherwise he will be particularly crazy... These symptoms are generally incurable and can only be intervened to a certain extent."

Tong Tong thought about it carefully and found that his mother had no such symptoms. However, Su Zilong's son not only did not communicate with others, but also was full of inexplicable persistence in charging cables... Judging from these standards, does that child have autism?

Hao Mengyuan asked: "Didn't you say that you were misdiagnosed with autism when you were a child? What were your symptoms at that time?"

"I don't remember it. I heard from my family that I just can't speak. I like to stay alone and no one disturbs me. I can play in the corner for an hour or two, and the nanny who takes care of me feels incredible. And the stereotype you said, I like playing cards at that time, just playing cards. I can play a lot of tricks, such as giving them numbers, or giving them nicknames to make them my subordinates. As long as they are playing cards, I like them. When I go to the doctor, my family has to coax me with playing cards."

"Oh, so that's it. If you only listen to your description, there are indeed some symptoms of autism, and it is possible for doctors to misdiagnose it. However, from another perspective, you may have been very focused since childhood. If you develop it well, you might have become a piano master or a math genius - a child with concentration, and generally have high talent in mathematics."

Whenever she chats with Hao Mengyuan, Tong Tong always feels very happy. In the current situation, Tong Tong cannot take her mother to the hospital. She is very resistant to the hospital. Now the hospital control is very strict. When she fully adapts to life in Hong Kong City, the epidemic will ease. Then take her to the hospital for a look.

Hao Mengyuan comforted, "Don't worry, the doctor may not have a particularly good solution. The year my mother passed away, my father had similar symptoms. He was very forgetful. He took back the washed clothes and placed them on the sofa. He forgot and put them in the washing machine to wash them again. He also developed facial blindness, and he couldn't tell the difference between two colleagues with similar figures. He also didn't speak in the foreword, and for a while, he didn't speak in the room for a long time. Others said that my father was crazy and I was particularly scared. But my grandma told me that he was just a big stimulus. As long as he kept caring for him, he would get better."

"So, you will tell Uncle Hao about "Pleasant Goat" and "Bright Sword"?"

Hao Mengyuan was a little shy: "Yeah! I can't get over this joke!"

"You are obviously very sad, but you insist on telling your father, and they speak vividly... To be honest, I really admire you."

Hao Mengyuan smiled and said, "I've been too rewarded. I didn't think so much at that time. I have lost my mother and don't want to lose my father anymore, so I can only wake him up as much as I can."

Whenever Tong Tong remembers the scene of a little girl holding back her grief and telling her father the TV series with a smile, she can't help but feel distressed. How optimistic and strong should she be able to do this?
