In front of the hospital, Tao Kai looked in a hurry and walked quickly.
A blue suit and a black backpack are almost the iconic equipment after entering the society for the first time and after transitioning from a university monk to a social worker.
He came to the information desk.
"Zheng Lihong, she was sent here not long ago. Where is she now? I am his son."
"Please wait a moment..." The nurse looked up and then started to check. After a while, she said: "Zheng Lihong is currently in bed 305, bed 20."
"Thank you!" Tao Kai thanked him quickly and continued to walk away quickly.
He looked for the way to the ward while holding the phone, "Hey, sister, I'm at the hospital... Well, I haven't seen it yet. I'll tell you the situation when you see it... Yes, don't rush now.
, wait until I get the news."
…
When Tao Kai found Ward No. 305, he jumped in... He found that this was not a public ward. There were only two beds and there were curtains to cover them.
Tao Kai was startled, and heard her sister say that someone sent her unconscious mother to the hospital on the road... Thinking of the phone call at the meeting, Tao Kai suddenly felt scared.
He directly opened the curtain, and at first sight he saw his mother Zheng Lihongyi sitting at the head of the hospital bed, and next to her was a blond woman...the woman was peeling an apple.
Tao Kai was startled, and before he had time to think about it, he shouted, "Mom, how do you feel?"
Zheng Lihong was naturally happy to see her son. At this time, she reached out and grabbed Tao Kai's arm, "It's okay. The doctor said I just have low blood sugar. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Tao Kai then breathed a sigh of relief and said with both blame and heartache: "I told you not to push your bicycle and sell drinks. You can't make much money, and you are tired... This time I met a kind person to help you.
Send it here, what if you fall down in a place where there is none next time?"
Zheng Lihong made a weird face like a child, which made Tao Kai lose his temper at all. Zheng Lihong then winked, meaning that he was still around.
Only then did Tao Kai react. He looked at the blond woman who was peeling an apple again. He almost felt as if he was absent-minded... He secretly composed himself and said sincerely: "Miss, thank you for sending my mother to the hospital.
Don’t worry... I will pay you back no matter how much you pay."
"You're welcome." The blond girl smiled slightly, put the peeled apple on the plate and cut it into small pieces, "Actually, the hospital hasn't settled the bill yet."
"Then I'd like to thank you. If it weren't for you... I'm sorry, I didn't ask you what your name is. Look at me." Tao Kai smiled awkwardly.
"Take good care of your mother." The blond woman didn't seem to mean to tell her, but a more beautiful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
But he was not in his eyes... Tao Kai felt something, someone seemed to be walking in behind him.
"Aunt Zheng, do you feel better?"
"Much better. Thank you so much, little brother."
Zheng Lihong seemed to be sitting up, so Tao Kai hurriedly helped her, and then had time to look at the person approaching... She seemed to be younger than herself, dressed in casual clothes, and looked polite.
The young man smiled and said: "This is your family, right? I handled the admission procedures on your behalf. I have time to fill in the information."
"I know." Tao Kai nodded.
"Then I won't disturb you." The young man nodded towards Zheng Lihong. As he spoke, the blond girl had already stood up and came to his side.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Zheng Lihong didn't even have time to thank them. How could she let them go so casually? "Wait, little brother, can you leave your phone number?"
"No need." The young man said softly, "You have already thanked me."
Zheng Lihong was stunned.
The young man picked up the bag on his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't it two yuan cheaper here?"
I'm talking about the cheaper yogurt drinks in the second row.
Zheng Lihong couldn't say anything, she just felt like something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything... Tao Kai didn't know what the conversation between them meant.
This pair of men and women left very simply, and even pulled the curtain up smoothly... Zheng Lihong quickly patted her son's arm.
Only then did Tao Kai react, opened the curtain and chased out, but in the blink of an eye, the young man and woman were nowhere to be seen in the corridor outside the ward.
Tao Kai had no choice but to return to his mother. Seeing that the apple had been peeled, he simply picked it up, poked a piece with a toothpick, and sent it to his mother.
"It's rare to see such kind children and girls." Zheng Lihong sighed, "Learn from others and don't be irritable all day long."
"He's someone else's child, haha." Tao Kai shook his head, "You can listen if they ask you to rest more. I tell you not to sell those Yiliduo. You can put it in one ear and out the other."
"What's wrong with selling this?" Zheng Lihong suddenly glanced at her, "I didn't raise you by riding a bicycle every day!"
Tao Kai retreated in defeat, raised his hands to express surrender, then poked a piece of apple and stuffed it into his mother's mouth, and then casually said: "By the way, I'll call my sister and ask her to come back and see you..."
Zheng Lihong shook her head: "No need, it's not a big deal anyway, I can go home in the evening. It will take a day to go back and forth, and she doesn't have much time, so I think she might as well forget it."
Tao Kai frowned and said, "Mom, it's right for me to come back. Don't be awkward. Last time I came back, I left after one night..."
"Stop talking, okay." Zheng Lihong waved her hand: "I'm fine, you can go back to the company to work in the afternoon. You have just joined the job, so be careful about your work. Come pick me up after you get off work."
"...Okay, but you have to agree to my request." Tao Kai suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, smile."
Zheng Li rolled her eyes redly.
Tao Kai stretched out his fingers and opened Zheng Lihong's mouth. Zheng Lihong glared at her, then reached out and patted her, "No big or small!"
Despite this, she smiled in the end.
"I'm going to fill in some documents before I go back to the company." Tao Kai stood up and said, "If you need anything, remember to call me. I promise to answer it as soon as possible this time."
"Okay, don't be verbose...just go quickly, you're not serious!" Zheng Lihong laughed and scolded.
Seeing her son pick up his backpack and walk out of the curtain, and then someone came back and told him to have a good rest before leaving. Zheng Lihong breathed out slowly, and her smile gradually fell.
Ms. Zheng, we found a hard lump in your abdomen. We recommend that you have a CT examination as soon as possible.
Doctor...I, am I okay?
This will only be known after an examination, but you don’t have to worry too much. Even if there is a hard lump, there are many situations. It’s better to wait until the examination results come out. When do you think we can arrange an examination for you?
I...let me think about it again.
Zheng Lihong breathed a slow sigh, leaned on the bed, picked up her phone, looked at the screen, and looked at the name on the address book: Tao Tao.
It had already become dry and cracked, and after rubbing the screen with her rough fingers a few times, she finally sighed.
What, not coming back? Why?
I found a job here and I don't want to give up...
But=didn’t you agree that you would come back after graduation?
Let's not talk about it... I still have something to do here. You take care of yourself.
…
In the evening, Tao Kai walked in from outside the ward, carrying a cloth bag. When he saw Zheng Lihong, she had already dressed and was sitting on the bedside waiting.
Tao Kai smiled and said, "Ah, where is such a beautiful lady here?"
"Go." Zheng Lihong was ready to fight.
Tao Kai turned sideways and hid, but when he came out of the cloth bag he was carrying, a soft meow came... It was the meow of a cat.
"What is this?" Zheng Lihong asked curiously.
Tao Kai glanced around furtively, then lowered his voice and said: "Cat, I bought it especially for you... look!"
As he said that, Tao Kai gently took out a furry little guy from the cloth bag. The furry gray kitten had half-folded ears.
"Why did you buy me this?" Zheng Lihong opened her mouth, but this little guy was so cute. Zheng Lihong held it in her arms, looking very pleased with it.
Tao Kai's family had raised small animals in the past, but they stopped raising them after they died of old age. "This is a Sugarland Fold cat. It's very good and docile... Didn't you say you were bored alone? Just raise it."
Let’s see.”
Zheng Lihong stared at Tao Kai and said, "Spend money randomly!"
"Hey." Tao Kai helped Zheng Lihong up, "Mom, now that I have graduated and found a job, my sister will send money back every month. You can stop riding a bicycle in the future, okay?"
"You bastard, do you think bringing back a kitten is just a job?" Zheng Lihong sighed and said, "I really want your mother and me to be happy. Then I can ask for a wife to come back and give me a grandson."
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Tao Kai begged for mercy.
Zheng Lihong said in surprise: "Really?"
Tao Kai said seriously: "It's getting faster every year, and we're on the way!"
Finally, she succeeded in grabbing her son's ears.
…
…
In front of the park.
Because of the addition of a little folded-eared cat, there were more children in front of the bicycle than before. The children couldn't help but love this little guy, and they stopped for more things than before.
A box of Yiliduo has been sold out for a long time.
Zheng Lihong held the folded-eared cat and sat in her usual resting place. She took some food out of the lunch box and fed it slowly.
"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 brightly and said, "Bought so many things again?"
"That's right." The young man smiled casually, "I'm going on a long trip recently, so I'll pick something that may not be available there and buy more to save... Aren't you going to rest at home?"
Zheng Lihong shook her head and said: "I'm bored at home. I'm so busy. I want to find something to do if I can still move my body. You said that if you can't move anymore, you can only lie in bed. You can't even pedal a car."
Already."
"What a cute little guy." The blond girl next to her suddenly brightened her eyes.
Zheng Lihong was actually happy when she saw the girl, and she directly lifted the cat up. The blond girl was still carrying something in her hand, but the young man carried it over very considerately.
"Isn't it cute? My little boy brought it back yesterday... By the way, you guys saw it yesterday too."
The young man smiled and said, "Ms. Zheng, you didn't tell your family when you came out today. Yesterday the doctor seemed to have recommended you to have a check-up. Don't you plan to go?"
The few smiles on her face disappeared all of a sudden, and she shook her head and said, "I...I still plan to think about it again."
The young man said: "Well... Generally speaking, if the older generation is ill, it is better to notify their families as soon as possible or get checked as soon as possible. Regardless of their health, if there is a big problem, they will still suffer a lot."
"This is the truth." Zheng Lihong sighed slowly, "But you don't know, it's too scary to think about it... I won't talk about it anymore, I will think about it carefully."
The young man said nothing.
"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 even have time to ask you.”
The young man glanced at the blonde girl next to him.
She put the cat back into Zheng Lihong's arms and asked curiously: "Ms. Zheng, did you and your daughter have no contact since yesterday?"
Zheng Lihong opened her mouth but stopped talking.
The young man said softly: "Youye, tell Ms. Zheng."
The blond girl nodded and said: "Yesterday after your daughter received the call, she was a little more excited, but after she explained it, it was nothing. She still cared about you and couldn't come immediately because she was outside. Later, she came forward to find your son.
Mr. Tao, otherwise, we may have to spend a little more effort... I remember she said she had to buy a ticket to come back."
"I told her not to come back." Zheng Lihong shook her head, "I don't want her to think that I do this every time... as if I'm threatening."
"Every time?" the young man suddenly asked.
Zheng Lihong showed a wry smile, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I pretended to be sick several times a year ago, and then I was discovered...so I got a little awkward."
"In this way..." The young man nodded and said: "But Ms. Zheng, maybe you are overthinking it. Children should pay filial piety in front of their parents. I don't think there will be too many times. Miss Tao, I think this is also the case."
It’s an idea.”
"Maybe..." Zheng Lihong lowered her head and teased the folded-eared cat's chin with her fingers, "Actually, our relationship has never been very good...I'm not afraid to tell you to make you laugh. I'm a mother who didn't do well before."
The young man and the blonde girl looked at each other.
Zheng Lihong said slowly: "She had a marriage a few years ago, but I broke it off... Although the man turned out not to be a good thing, but..."
She shook her head and looked down at the obedient folded cat in her arms, "If only you could talk to me properly..."
