It was late at night and the hospital building was brightly lit.
In the ward, Xue Zhilan glanced at the clock on the wall and whispered to his wife sitting next to him: "It's very late, you can take Xiaohan back and rest."
Chen said "Ah?" and asked, "What time is it?"
Xue Zhilan replied: "It's almost ten o'clock."
"...It's so late?" Chen looked around and saw Xiaohan sitting on the stool playing with the doll, and hurriedly said, "Xiaohan, we have to go back to sleep."
Xiaohan raised his head and asked, "Where to sleep?"
Chen replied with a smile: "Of course we are going to the dormitory of my uncle. We are close to each other, just bypassing the corridor there."
"No!" Xiao Han pouted and shook his head, "I don't want to go there!"
Chen smiled awkwardly and asked, "Why don't you want it?"
"It's not our home." Xiao Han widened his cute big eyes and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, why can't we go home? I miss home. I miss dad."
Chen swallowed, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Xue Zhilan smiled kindly and pointed at his right arm and said softly: "Grandpa's arm is injured, so I have to stay here to recuperate. I can only wait until my grandpa's injury heals before leaving the hospital."
Xiaohan rolled his eyes and asked, "Grandpa, will your injury heal? Will it be healed tomorrow?"
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "Tomorrow won't work."
The little guy pouted and asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?"
Xue Zhilan shook his head again: "It's not possible to do the day after tomorrow."
The little guy sighed sadly and whispered: "I...I don't like my uncle's dormitory."
Chen hurriedly coaxed: "Uncle's dormitory is also very warm, the heating is also very good, it is clean, and there is also a small bed where we can sleep. Uncle also bought you a lot of small toys, all of which Xiaohan likes.
Woolen cloth!"
Xiaohan still didn't like it and muttered: "But I still want to go home."
Chen smiled and whispered: "But grandpa is injured, grandpa has to live in the hospital. We can't leave grandpa alone, right? Dad will come to accompany grandpa next. As long as we are together, that
The place is home.”
Xiaohan seemed to have thought of something and looked up and asked, "Will mom not find me? What if she can't find us if she goes home?"
Chen's smile froze and he couldn't react.
"That...that...that...when she gets it back, someone will definitely tell her."
The little guy suddenly sighed like an adult.
"I don't know where my mother has been. She hasn't come back to see me for a long time. Grandma, I miss my mother very much. Mom doesn't know if she misses me?"
Chen's face sank and whispered: "It's OK."
Her voice was a little stiff, and the little guy was still small and couldn't hear it.
Xue Zhilan coughed uneasyly: "Xiaohan, don't worry, mom will come to you soon. It's already late now and the weather is very cold. You have to go back and go to bed early. When grandpa gets better, we will go back together.
.”
Xiaohan climbed up, sat up to the bedside and asked, "Grandpa, where is your cell phone? Do you know my mother's cell phone number? Can you call her, okay?"
Xue Zhilan's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly found an excuse.
"Grandpa's cell phone is down at home. It's okay, wait for your dad to come and call him."
Xiaohan pouted in grievance: "But dad doesn't come back!"
"He will come to pick you up tomorrow morning." Chen explained: "Grandma will accompany you at that time. Xiaohan is obedient and hurried back with her to rest."
The little guy asked, "But... Uncle hasn't come yet, who will take care of grandpa? Grandma, we can't leave grandpa alone, otherwise he will be very scared."
Xue Zhilan smiled softly.
Chen also smiled and whispered: "He goes out to make hot water and will be back soon. Your grandfather is not a child, so why are you afraid!"
"Grandpa, aren't you afraid?" Xiaohan asked curiously.
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "Don't be afraid, because grandpa is a brave man."
Xiaohan murmured in a low voice: "Brother Yue said that everyone was very scared. He also said that grandpa was killed and had a lot of blood shed, so everyone was scared. I was also scared."
When Chen heard the frown, he hurriedly hugged her into his arms.
"Don't listen to my brother's nonsense! He... was wrong."
The little guy whispered: "Brother Yue said that."
After all, Xue Yue was a few years older than her, and his parents didn't avoid him even speaking. In addition, he was with Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong and others every day, so he knew more about this than Xiao Han.
Xue Zhilan sighed softly.
At this time, Xue Huan came back, holding a kettle in his hand.
Chen took up his little granddaughter and said, "Ahuan, look at your dad, I'll take Xiaohan back first."
Xue Huan smiled and waved to his little niece: "Good night, beg!"
Xiaohan still didn't want to go back, so he broke away from his grandmother's hand and rushed towards Xue Huan and hugged his thighs.
"Uncle, you have a cell phone, right?"
Xue Huan didn't notice that his mother winked at him, smiled and hugged her and picked her up, "Yes!"
Xiaohan said excitedly: "Then call my mother, okay?"
Xue Huan was slightly stunned, and finally found that his mother was blinking hard.
"Uh... it's too late now, your mother should have gone to bed. Even if the uncle calls her, she won't answer."
Xiaohan was disappointed again and hung his head down, and whispered in grievance: "I want to find my mother~"
Xue Huan felt very distressed and gently stroked the back of the little guy's head.
"Xiao Han, your mother will come back soon. Your mother... she is just too busy and has no time to come back to accompany you. Brother Xiao Yue's mother also has to go to work to make money, so she can't stay with him often."
Xiaohan is still young and doesn’t know how to compare, so it seems to make sense to think about it.
"I want to tell my father to make a lot of money. When my mother has money, she should not make money and she can stay with me all the time."
Xue Huan dared not disagree and coaxed him: "Okay, when your father comes, you will tell him. Now you have to go to bed quickly. When you wake up, your father will appear in front of you."
"Really?" Xiaohan asked curiously: "Dad is going to play hide-and-seek with me?"
"Yeah." Xue Huan smiled gently, "He hides now, and when you wake up tomorrow, he will jump out."
Chen urged, "Let's go, it's too late."
Xiaohan finally was willing to go back and waved his hand well: "Grandpa, goodbye! Uncle, goodbye!"
Xue Huan watched them enter the elevator before turning around and closing the door.
He asked in a warm voice: "Dad, do you want to drink a few sips of water?"
"No need." Xue Zhilan moved a position and climbed up and leaned on it: "A few bottles of drip are hung up, and the body is filled with water. After drinking white porridge for three meals, there is enough water."
Xue Huan hurried forward and took out a big pillow for the old man to put it behind him.
"You can't use force on your right arm. If you want to get up, just call me."
Xue Zhilan whispered: "There is still an arm, so there is no need. Your brother stays in the funeral home to watch tonight?"
"Yes." Xue Huan explained: "Brother-in-law and brother-in-law's fucking brother are there too. I called me just now, and he said there were quilts and food over there, and there was a little heating, so don't worry."
"Oh..." Xue Zhilan closed his eyes and sighed: "Even now, as long as he closes his eyes, those terrifying and cruel scenes will still appear in his mind. After being scratched, I fell to the ground, unable to tell the difference between the east, south, west and north at all.
, I only heard Brother Mu Hai howling... When I recovered, he had already fallen into a pool of blood, and the blood in his chest was spraying like a faucet. At that moment, I guessed that he might have left forever..."
