The temperature dropped again at night, with little bits of snow falling.
Xue Ling stood by the window, looking at the snowy back garden, and did not move for a long time.
Cheng Tianyuan changed into his pajamas and poured two cups of hot water over.
"Drink something warm and go to bed early."
Neither of them slept much last night, and they were already exhausted after running around all day.
Although I was dizzy and in a bad mood, I didn't feel sleepy at all. My mind was in chaos, as if I was thinking about everything, but I didn't seem to be thinking about anything at all.
Xue Ling took the water and sighed quietly.
"...I'll sleep later."
Cheng Tianyuan drank some water, put down the cup, and hugged her into his arms.
Xue Ling closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, taking a deep breath.
"Ah Huan said it's already the middle stage...if it were a little later, it would most likely spread."
Cheng Tianyuan narrowed his eyes and said: "He is still young and will not die like this. As long as the operation is successful and it does not spread widely, he will get better after step-by-step chemotherapy."
When Xue Ling heard this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
No matter how successful Xiao Huzi’s career is and the child is already three years old, he is still only a young man in his twenties.
Hearing such bad news, he couldn't accept it at once. He was completely panicked, but he just didn't collapse on the spot!
Seeing him like this, she and Cheng Tianyuan could only pretend to be calm, choose their words carefully, not daring to say a random word, repeatedly emphasized that as long as an operation and chemotherapy would be fine, they tried their best to comfort Xiao Huzi.
But who knew - they almost collapsed too!
For a young man in his early twenties, his life is most likely already counting down!
His parents are not yet elderly, his children are still young, and his career is taking off - his life has just begun!
Ah Huan said that if he is lucky enough, the operation is successful and the cancer cells do not spread much. With chemotherapy and rest, the body can slowly recover.
But you have to be lucky, otherwise it might only take a year and a half, or even less.
Cheng Tianyuan let out a long sigh.
He was not only comforting his wife, but also comforting himself.
Over the years, he has treated Little Huzi as his own child, how could he accept the fact that he might lose him!
"That kid has always been lucky and should be fine. Ah Huan said that he will definitely find the best and top experts in the country to do this surgery. He is now well-known in the domestic medical community and knows countless experts. He will definitely
It can be found. Xiao Huzi is not short of money now. The best experts and the best medicine will save him soon."
"Yes." Xue Ling gently stroked his chest and whispered: "Let Ahu and Wang Qing go north tomorrow. Don't tell them anything yet, make up a good excuse for them to come. My daughter is still in college, and she hasn't had a holiday yet.
They have nothing to do in the provincial capital."
In the past few years, Ah Hu and Wang Qing have not been in good health. They take medicine, exercise, and go for walks in the morning and evening. They have almost no career.
Fortunately, some of the apartments and stores Ahu bought back then appreciated quickly in value, and the rents also increased year by year. He was still able to live a comfortable and prosperous life relying on rents.
Xiao Huzi has made a lot of money in the past few years. He bought them a large villa and replaced Ahu with a car. He usually spends tens of thousands of dollars to remit living expenses.
My son is married and has a successful career at a young age, and my daughter is well-behaved, has excellent grades, and receives scholarships from key universities every year. They both laugh and feel very happy every day.
"This bad news... wait until they come, and then tell them in a gentle way." Xue Ling reminded: "Don't say it in advance, it will be a day later. Even we may not be able to eat well or sleep well, don't say it."
Tiger and Wang Qing.”
"I know." Cheng Tianyuan nodded.
Xue Ling whispered: "You, don't be so angry all the time. I know you can't stand it anymore, that's why you are like this. But the little tiger is in confusion and needs your and my support. He may misunderstand you.
"
"Well." Cheng Tianyuan sighed faintly, "...go to sleep."
The two of them were lying on the bed, covered with warm quilts, but they both closed their eyes and couldn't fall asleep.
Tonight is another sleepless night.
…
The next morning, the garden was quiet.
The cold wind outside the house stopped, and I don’t know when it stopped snowing.
The sun penetrated through the thick clouds, and finally emerged around nine o'clock, spreading the bright sunshine in all directions.
The little tiger was awakened by the sunshine and woke up in a daze.
He opened his eyes and stretched his limbs lazily.
Great! Sleeping so comfortably!
He was stunned for a moment, looking at the familiar room. Information quickly filled his mind, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar laughter!
He sat up and found that in the back garden outside the window, everything was white.
The tree was dyed white, leaving only gray-brown branches holding up patches of white snow.
The Chinese cabbage stands tall and tall, with green and white snow on its head. The white and green contrast with each other, which is very beautiful.
I saw Cheng Huanchong and Xue Xin wearing thick down jackets, hats, gloves, and snow boots, playing in the snow and throwing snowballs, with bright smiles on their young and energetic faces.
After a while, Xue's father and mother also joined.
They were wearing more clothes and their movements were a little clumsy. They slowly and carefully moved into the back garden.
Soon, they were building snowmen with their granddaughter and grandson.
There is strength in numbers, and within a short time, three or four cute little snowmen appeared one after another.
Xiaoxin ran to the big kitchen to find red peppers to serve as a red nose for the snowman.
Xiao Chong kneaded soil to make eyes for the snowman, while the two old men made simple hats from vegetable leaves and put them on the snowman's head.
Xiao Huzi was sitting by the window, unconsciously looking at it.
Suddenly, Xiao Chong spotted him and waved to him desperately, shouting: "Come! Come quickly!"
Others also looked over and were not surprised that he actually spent the night in the garden last night, and waved to him to go out and play together.
Little Huzi was infected by their enthusiasm, put on his down jacket and boots and ran out too.
"Ah! Hu Zi?" Liu Ying stood in the shelter and asked with a smile: "Why are you here? So early!"
Xiao Huzi's eyes flashed slightly and he replied: "Grandma, I - I -"
"Come on!" Xiao Chong shouted: "Brother Huzi! Let's have a snowball fight! We are short of manpower!"
Liu Ying laughed. Seeing that Xiao Huzi had no hat or gloves, she quickly took off her gloves and hat and handed them to him.
"I don't dare to go down, so you can play with them. I'll go to the big kitchen to drink soy milk. Come in when you're tired."
Xiao Huzi looked at the brown rustic hat and black gloves, and put them on without any disdain.
Then, he shouted "Ahhh!", as if he was roaring, venting, going crazy, and frightened everyone!
Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong, who were pinching snowballs, turned their heads and looked at him blankly.
The two old men were also startled. Seeing him opening his mouth wide and roaring, they couldn't react.
The little tiger roared, roared at the top of his lungs, yelled with all his strength, until he rushed into the back garden. It was not that easy to run in the snow, and he accidentally slipped under his feet and fell into the snowdrift with a "Plop!"
Everyone laughed and pulled him out with all their hands.
Xiao Huzi spit out a mouthful of snow, feeling a chill in his chest and throat, and the fire in his heart seemed to disappear instantly.
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
He lay on the snow, looked at the blue sky, the bright sunshine, listened to the hearty bursts of laughter, and perceived this wonderful and beautiful world, and seemed to have a subtle feeling of sudden enlightenment.
I don’t know who started throwing the snow, but that’s how the snowball fight started…
