Aunt Zhang, whose eyes were red and swollen, was too tired to notice for a while. Because she pondered over what Wang Dafu had just said, "I don't know what that little girl has in her hand. I tried to open it several times and it didn't work. " No, when she recovered a little, she vaguely heard Little Cherry say "Cherry Red, Cherry Red ..."
Aunt Zhang suddenly understood something, stood up trembling and crooked, gently touched her swollen eyes with calluses, leaned down and whispered, "Little cherry, little cherry." Convinced that Cherry didn't wake up, she closed her eyes slightly again and sat in the chair beside the bed. After all, it's been more than a day, and a few old tears can't help sighing, but they never fall. It's just that Aunt Zhang's face is very pale and her expression is helpless.
"Yes, you see, you are over 60 years old, and you have a child. The child fell from nowhere and broke his brain. He is not in a coma yet. "
Sister Wang, a neighbor who came together, asked angrily, "Aunt, did you call Xiaokang?"
Aunt Zhang, who was still in tears just now, couldn't help getting up when she heard the word "well-off". I saw that she took out a slightly yellow handkerchief from her left trouser pocket, wiped her eyes and said cautiously, "She, Sister Wang, has a well-off family. He is busy with work and has no time to come back. " After that, Aunt Zhang wiped her hands with a yellow handkerchief and dipped it in her pale face just now, but her face was a little wet. Maybe she has understood the dream of Little Cherry, so she stopped talking and put the handkerchief in her right trouser pocket.
In fact, Sister Wang's psychology is also very clear: a well-off society is Aunt Zhang's pride. How can she stand the slander of others, not to mention the well-off she has brought to a big country by herself?
Sister Wang glanced helplessly and sympathetically, but could not bear to bother Aunt Zhang again. I stayed outside the ward carefully, but my eyes kept looking into the ward, but I prayed silently, "Get well, everything will be fine."
Aunt Zhang clearly remembers that when the cherry was red last year, I asked Xiaokang to go home. Xiaokang always said that he was too busy at work and never came back. ...
Zhang looked at the callous aunt, and stayed and stayed. Who knows I didn't come back for three years and six months 18 days! Seeing that something happened to Little Cherry, Aunt Zhang panicked and couldn't wait any longer. When Sister Wang went to the toilet, she borrowed her mobile phone and called Xiaokang, who works in Beijing. As soon as the phone was connected, Aunt Zhang eagerly shouted, "Son, if you don't come back, you won't see your mother …" Then she quickly asked Wang Dafu to hang up. Obviously, Aunt Zhang is angry and misses her son, and Little Cherry misses her parents.
Wang Dafu took the phone, sideways, and quickly said to Xiaokang: "Xiaokang, your mother really has something to do. Pay attention to safety on the road and come back soon." After all, it is only a small county, and a well-off society is the growth of Wang Dafu day by day. Wang Dafu hung up the phone, but his eyes were red: It is not easy for an old sister-in-law to bring a well-off society to a big place by herself.
At this time, Aunt Zhang carefully wrapped the paper with Xiao Qiang's telephone number in a clean white handkerchief and put it in her underwear pocket. This series of actions, Wang Dafu looked at, the heart can't help but pull up, "I hope, little cherry is ok".
The handkerchief wrapped with the mobile phone number is not as yellow and dirty as Zhang Aunt's handkerchief to wipe her face. Maybe it's just because the paper was left by Xiaokang and the phone number was written by Xiaokang. Well-off life is her life.
A well-off society is also the son of bad karma, and his father died young. At the age of eighteen, Xiaokang married Xiao Fang in his village. On the night of the wedding, Xiaokang took Xiao Fang's hand and knelt in front of his old mother. He firmly said to Aunt Zhang, "Mom, Xiao Fang and I will take good care of you. From now on, my son will support the whole family."
However, Aunt Zhang, whose eyes were moist, did not shed tears after all. Because she knows that Xiaokang is a filial child and a sensible child, she just wants to do her best to protect and care for her son as long as he is there, because he is her life and her only hope to live. This may be the duty of an ordinary rural woman and the nature of a strong mother.
Xiaokang, who works far away in Beijing, received a call, immediately found Xiaofang, asked for leave from the unit leader, and came back by train overnight. It has been three years since I came back this time. In the past three years, well-off couples have never been home, nor have they spent a penny. Because they just want to wait until they have saved enough money to go home, and then take care of their parents and children in a down-to-earth way, they put it off again and again, but it has been put off for three years, three years, six months, 18 days.
Xiaokang is less than 23 years old this year. He is only a child in the city, but he has long been the pillar of his family in the countryside. Busy and tired work makes the 23-year-old well-off look a lot older. Xiaokang clearly remembers that at the age of 19, Xiao Fang gave a baby daughter to Xiaokang. Xiaokang was very happy, and because an old cherry tree was planted in front of her house, Xiao Fang liked cherries very much, so she named her daughter "Cherry". Unfortunately, Cherry was only a few months old when they left home. Along the way, they kept muttering about how to face Little Cherry and how to explain their difficulties to Little Cherry.
One day and one night, the train finally arrived at the station. Xiaokang and Xiao Fang got off the train in a hurry, took the third wheel of Laoshu and went to the county hospital. On the way, Xiaokang didn't say a word, but tears flowed down. It's everywhere. My uncle only cares about driving, not being well-off. But the well-off psychology is very clear, thanks to my uncle's protection at home, otherwise my aunt would have been early ...
The cherry trees covered with cherries in the courtyard of the county hospital also turned red. Can be well-off but not in the mood to see, just one step to the ward, but the clumsy old uncle to panic. LaoShu nasty grabbed a well-off, "big nephew, don't blame LaoShu crazy, your mother is ok. It's just that the little cherry insists on picking the red cherry from the old cherry tree at the door. I don't know how to climb up, but she accidentally fell down, hit a stone block under the tree and fainted. Your mother doesn't know, I'll call you back. "
Well-off slightly relieved, "LaoShu, my dear LaoShu. I don't have a father and I can't live without my mother. Otherwise, I will really become an orphan. " Xiaokang expressed his annoyance childishly, and tears could not help flowing out. Laoshu hurriedly put his arm around Xiaokang and wiped his eyes. He said quickly, "Go and have a look. Your mother stayed up all night. Your mother was so stubborn since she was a child. Go and have a look. "
Xiaokang quickly grabbed Xiao Fang. "Fine, no matter what happens, you can't blame my mother, you know?" Xiaokang doesn't know where Xiao Fang will blame her mother-in-law. Since she entered the house, her mother-in-law has loved her more than her own mother.
In the ward, Xiaokang knelt in front of his old mother and said, "Mom, I'm back. Mom, I'm home. Mom, what happened to you? Mom. "
Aunt Zhang's red eyes have no tears. After all, she is just an uneducated rural woman. She only relied on her own tears and strength to bring a well-off life from childhood to adulthood. "Xiaokang, mom is sorry for you. Cherry is still in a coma. I'm sorry for you." Say that finish, he began to cry again, with only a little tenderness and strength.
Xiao Fang gawk at her daughter, holding her daughter's hand. I cried and kissed in my mouth, and tears are not obedient flowed out quietly, but my eyes couldn't help glancing at a well-off society.
"Grandma, grandma, cherry is red, cherry is red." Well-off couples obviously heard the voice of Little Cherry, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased down, but when they approached Little Cherry, they found that Little Cherry did not fully wake up. At this time, Sister Wang, the neighbor who was guarding the door, left the door of the ward and kept looking at the cherry trees in the hospital yard. Cherry is red, very red. The old uncle and aunt watched outside, but couldn't help sighing that "my old sister-in-law is in bad karma" and quietly left the ward because they didn't want to break the rare reunion of this family.
Xiaokang remembered that when he was a child, his mother always put the handkerchief in the right pocket of his coat, because it was always prepared for him by his mother, so he took it out from his mother without hesitation. But this handkerchief is clean and white, like snow, as if it has never been used, and it has a faint smell of soap. Xiaokang picked it up to help the old mother wipe her face and sobbed and said, "Mom, what is Little Cherry talking about?"
At this time, Aunt Zhang just came to her senses and looked at it carefully. This son left home for three years and six months 19 days. Hand also involuntarily touched the well-off head. Said slowly, "Kang Er, it's all my mother's fault. Three years ago, when you left home for work, Cherry was still awake. At that time, she was not sensible and still young, but now she grows up day by day and always cries for her parents. Mother was helpless and said to the little cherry,' When the cherry on the old cherry tree in front of the door is red, you will come back. Because little cherry's mother likes to eat cherries on this cherry tree best. "Well-off understand, Xiao Fang cried. Xiaokang and Xiao Fang both knelt in front of their mother. "Mom, we were wrong, we were wrong ..." At this time, I don't know when the bed was, and Little Cherry woke up.
"Grandma, grandma, cherry is red, cherry is red." Aunt Zhang quickly picked up her little granddaughter. Kissing and kissing, regardless of the red and swollen eyes, happily said, "Cherry, little cherry, look who's here, grandma, I'm not lying to you." Little cherry looked timidly at xiaokang and xiaofang. I started crying, and then I went back to hide in grandma's arms. "Mom, I'll give you a hug." Xiao Fang took the baby, but Xiao Fang forgot that Cherry was only a few months old when they left home, and now she is almost four years old.
Little cherry looked at grandma, hugged her for a few times, looked at Xiaokang and Xiao Fang, and somehow began to cry again. "Mom, why don't you want me?" Look, I picked a lot of cherries for you. " Small cherry let go, a cherry is still intact, the color is still so bright, so attractive, just like the red face of small cherry. Wang Dafu just came to explore the house at this moment. When he saw all this, he suddenly understood. I can't help saying, "Poor child!" He walked away.
Sister Wang at the door left because she had to go home and prepare a table for Aunt Zhang. After all, Aunt Zhang usually takes care of her. When my uncle and aunt saw Wang Dafu, they quickly asked Wang Dafu. Wang Dafu's eyes were red, and he told them, "Little cherry is fine. The hospital waived your hospitalization fee. You should tidy up and get ready to leave the hospital. You should treat cherry well in the future. Little cherry is a good child. Well-off them, it is best not to let them go to work in the distance ... "Said the eyes mywood walked away. At this time, uncle discovered that the cherry on the cherry tree in the hospital was red, and it seemed to be redder.
When he got home, Xiaokang tidied up the yard and moved the stones under the old cherry tree, but he didn't want to know. He wants to know how his little daughter can climb so high to pick cherries ... but when he looks up, his eyes turn red when he sees bright and attractive red cherries. All this seems less important.
Cherry is red, and cherry is redder. Xiaokang and Xiaofang also went back and resigned, and no longer went to work so far away, because he knew that some things would never come back, never come back …
