Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

We returned to Shanghai. That's because one day after dinner, Yan Xiaonan and Su Xiaoquan suddenly appeared in Jiang Yang and I's apartment, and said in a hurry: "Luo Xin, your father is in the hospital." not come out.On the contrary, Jiang Yang and the third brother arranged the private jet, schedule and some chores in an orderly manner, and we flew to Shanghai soon. It was midnight when we arrived at the hospital. The father was sleeping soundly in the ward, and the mother sat by the bed to watch the night.When she saw me, her eyes sparkled, but she still pretended to be angry and said: "What's the matter with you child, you turn around and you don't see anyone, just leave as soon as you say, and having a son will save you worry. Call you I haven't been able to understand, look at how you look like a girl, how did you come back at this time? In the middle of the night..."

I can't say that it was Jiang Yang who sent me back. I can't describe to my mother what I have experienced in the past few months. Jiang Yang has been waiting in the lobby of the hospital with his third brother.He also told me not to say anything to my mother.First, I couldn't explain to my mother why the Jiang Yang she saw now was different from what she had seen before; second, my mother never agreed with me and Jiang Yang from beginning to end. In times of crisis, Yan Xiaonan is always by my side to protect me from the wind and rain.Her nonsense, mother has always been sure of it, there is no way, some people just have a face that makes people believe it.My mother wasn't really angry at first, it was just because my waywardness always made her more worried than happy.Her nagging is a catharsis as well as a concern.

While we were talking, my father woke up, saw me standing there, raised his hand slightly, and called my name.I walked over and sat down by the bed. He held my hand and said with a slight smile, "Why are you back? What about the work over there?" My eyes were hot, and I couldn't help but shed tears.My father said nonchalantly, "I'm fine. I'm old and I can't stand a little cold. In fact, I just had a headache, so I was sent to the hospital. I'm such an old bone, I can only be slaughtered, hey... At an old age, I can't stand the toss at all." I held my father's hand and tried to smile and said, "Dad, you are in good health. Didn't you always tell me that you were a pacesetter in the army? How old are you now? You still have to wait to hold your grandson." Father Laughed and clapped my hands.

His hands were old and rough, not as strong as before, but heavier.It took him a long time to ask me, "How are you?" I nodded and said, "Dad, I'm very happy." My father showed a gratified smile, and then said that he was tired, so I left with my mother and Xiaonan. The mother said that the father had a heart attack and suddenly fell on the sofa, which frightened the mother.Fortunately, my mother's student came to visit my father at that time, so someone helped to send him to the hospital.The doctor didn't say what kind of disease it was, but told him to pay attention to rest and keep a good mood.

Jiang Yang was sitting in the hall when he suddenly stood up.The mother also saw him, was slightly taken aback, and said suddenly: "Why is he here?" I was taken aback, not knowing how my mother recognized him.But Jiang Yang and Su Xiaoquan had already walked over, and he said to his mother generously: "Hello, Auntie, my surname is Du." The mother was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "Oh, Mr. Du... I am confused, you Yes?" Jiang Yang glanced at me, smiled and said, "I am her current boss." His mother greeted him politely, and Jiang Yang and Su Xiaoquan left.I was sure that I was fooling around, so I said: "Mom, you go back, I'll just stay here and guard Dad." My mother shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter to me, it's not a wild idea to go home alone. There are empty beds in the ward. It's good to sleep there."

I knew I couldn't change my mother's mind, so I said, "Then I'll go home and get something." My mother stopped me and said, "Don't worry about things here. People say that young couples come to keep company, and that's me and your dad." Yes. You, mind yourself." I felt a fever in my heart, decades of ups and downs, noisy and noisy, and finally I still grow old with my son.I don't know if Jiang Yang understands, the happiness I want is nothing more than this. My mother said again: "That Mr. Du, what's going on?" I pretended to be confused and said, "What's going on?" My mother gave me a disdainful look, and said, "Mom is not so old. I sent you all the way back from Hong Kong in the middle of the night, and you have been waiting here for so long, is this your boss?" Yan Xiaonan who was sitting on the side suddenly came up and said, "Mother Liang, you have sharp eyes." I stomped hard Yan Xiaonan kicked.

But my mother was still happy, looked at me with a slight smile and said, "How is he? How is he?" I nodded shyly, and my mother asked again, "I can see that he likes you." I frowned and said, "Mom, how can you tell me?" Chinese, not psychology, so you can tell everything.” My mother smiled and patted my hand and said, "Other mothers don't care, but I can't tell that you are my daughter." Yan Xiaonan hugged her legs and sighed, and the mother finally just said: "Luo Xin, as long as you live well If you are happy, your parents will be happy." My eyes were sore, and I swore: "Mom, I am very happy, and I will always be so happy."

Not long after, his father was discharged from the hospital, and Jiang Yang came to the house to help.The doctor said that my father's health is very good, and he will recover after a period of recuperation.My mother didn't let me live at home, and I didn't go back to the apartment where Yan Xiaonan and I lived together. We moved into Jiang Yang's apartment in Binjiang. Yan Xiaonan continued to fly all over the world to work, and I didn't have a chance to ask her why my phone and purse were all with her that night.I thought maybe she didn't want me to know.But anyway, luckily she had my phone at that time.

Jiang Yang and I stayed in Shanghai for a period of time. His Riverside apartment was large, but unfurnished, not like a residence.We furnish it little by little, like a real home.But because Jiang Yang served as the general manager of EMK as "Du Zeshan", there is still a lot of work to be done while staying in Shanghai, and now these tasks are being handed over to Su Xiaoquan little by little. "Why don't you go on vacation?" Jiang Yang said suddenly. "Vacation?" I was standing on the stool to hang the curtains, and I was struggling to stretch my arms because I still couldn't reach them.Hearing him talking at this moment, he suddenly lost his balance and fell off the chair.

He hastily stretched out his hand to catch me, and sighed, "God, why would I want to marry such a stupid wife like you, the curtains will fall down even if I hang them." He passed the curtains and hung them up easily. "Do you have time to go on vacation?" I sat on the sofa folding clothes, thought for a while and said, "Don't you still have a lot of things to deal with in EMK? Why are you free? Besides, didn't the third brother say that he arranged for a doctor to come for consultation , it will probably be finalized in these days, and let you stay here and not leave."

"The third brother will take care of those things. If you don't play now, you will have no time." He opened the newspaper, pointed to a landscape painting and said, "Let's go to a place closer. There are many interesting places in the suburbs of Shanghai. For example... I Remember when you said you wanted to go to Hangzhou? Xitang is also good, or Wuzhen..." I couldn't help but blush when I heard the word Hangzhou.Seeing that I refused to agree for a long time, he gave an ultimatum: "Go? Or not?" I jumped up and said, "Go, of course." "Then I'll get the car out." "Don't drive." I stopped him and said, "Do you still remember the time when we went to Hangzhou when we were in college? Just take the train, and it's very convenient to go back and forth, and there are many trains." He laughed, bowed his head and said in my ear, "You still want to go to Hangzhou." I pushed him angrily, but he grabbed my hand and dragged me into his arms. In fact, I mentioned to Jiang Yang very early on that I would go to Hangzhou for vacation. It sounds like a vacation, but actually I just want to go to Lingyin Temple to ask for a marriage lottery.However, in the end, it still didn't work out, and Jiang Yang left me.Later, after breaking up with Jiang Yang, Yan Xiaonan accompanied me to Hangzhou to relax.It is also said that Lingyin Temple is the most spiritual place to seek marriage and dragged me up the mountain for most of the day.I didn't expect that the revisit of the old place this time would be He Jiangyang. We got off the train and took the bus all the way to the West Lake. It was June, and the weather was already hot. The lotus flowers by the lake were blooming, and the green lotus leaves supported the pink lotus flowers. It can only be described as beautiful. When I was young, I looked at the surrounding scenery like ink and wash on paper. I didn't understand the true meaning of Suzhou and Hangzhou as comparable to heaven. Only now did I understand that the landscape with the aura of lake light is so moving. It's like the slender hands of an ancient embroidered girl, touching your heartstrings inadvertently. We walked all the way up the mountain along the path by the West Lake. We didn't know how long we walked, and gradually felt the mountain breeze. The sun fell like a golden drizzle through the shade of the leafy trees.We walked side by side on the mountain path, and the breeze blew, and I closed my eyes comfortably.The wind has a fresh and soothing smell, and it is immediately refreshing and invigorating when it is poured into the lungs. Jiang Yang walked beside me silently, we walked very slowly. I realized that I had never actually seen him properly.In fact, he was already outstanding, but now that he has been artificially modified, he is even more upright and handsome.Back then, I always asked Yan Xiaonan if Jiang Yang had any shortcomings. Yan Xiaonan thought about it for a long time, and then said: "The aesthetics are too bad, and I actually look down on my beauty." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sore nose.Time is always gone, as he said, we can't go back, I can only love him more and more.So I took his hand gently, he turned to look at me, I showed him a bright smile, and buried that worry away. He smiled at me and said, "What are you doing, are you afraid that I will run away?" But he held my hand a little tighter. I looked up and saw the words "Lingyin Temple ahead" written in white on the brown wooden sign ahead.With warmth in his heart, he shook his hand and said, "Let's go to Lingyin Temple." He raised his eyes, smiled and said, "You already have me, so why do you want a marriage? I really don't want to die." He snorted, and said in his semi-threatening tone: "Go? Or not?" He didn't answer, and I shook my hand and left.He quickly caught up with me and grabbed my hand, saying, "Of course—! You little brat is so difficult, how can you not ask for the Dao Healing Ghost Talisman?" I don't know how these seemingly flat mountains are so high. We walked for a long time, and the sun almost dried up.Sweat was dripping from his forehead, and I wiped it off with a tissue for him, fearing that he would be tired, so I asked in a low voice, "Let's take a rest, are you tired?" He smiled and pointed, and said, "I This wife is not only stupid, but also has bad eyesight, isn't it time?" As soon as I looked up, I saw the yellow Buddha wall. The tall weeping willows cast shades of trees, and we bought scented flower coupons to enter, and suddenly a faint scent of incense floated into our breath.When I was a child, I always accompanied my mother to burn incense in the temple, but it was always crowded.Because today is not a weekend or a holiday, there are not many pilgrims in the temple, and it is empty, but it is more dignified. We lit incense on the candle, and the burning incense ash condensed into a loose gray knot. When the wind blew, it suddenly fell on the back of my hand, scalding a little bit of scarlet.I withdrew my hand and gasped in pain.Jiang Yang nimbly took my hand over and sucked on the wound forcefully, and said distressedly, "It's all red." I smiled and said, "What are you doing, I'm a salty pig's hand." "I don't know that saliva can be disinfected, but it works." I withdrew my hand and said, "I knew I would have licked it myself." "My saliva is worth money. You don't know how much bear bile and deer antler I have eaten, and now the blood is full of precious medicinal materials." He suddenly tapped my forehead and scolded me: "You still despise me." Staring into his eyes, he said, "Why did I see the four big characters 'bad intentions' written in your eyes?" As he spoke, he took the opportunity to slip past him, quickly inserted incense, and entered the Daxiong Hall. Several pilgrims had knelt on the futon and made a pious wish. He chased after me, and I raised a finger and gave a soft "shh".He looked at me with a smile and saw me kneeling down, and he also knelt down.I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together, and he remained motionless beside me.When I kowtowed and got up, I found that he was already standing at the door waiting for me. I was curious and asked him as soon as I got out of the temple: "What wish do you make?" He said seriously: "How can you say this, it won't work if you say it." I disdainfully said, "If you don't tell me, I know what your wish is." "What is it?" "Didn't you say that it won't work if you say it?" "It's true, you returned it to me without bringing it overnight." He leaned closer to my ear and said, "Everyone says that Lingyin Temple is the best place to seek marriage." "People also say that seeking a child is the most effective." He laughed and said, "You're not ashamed to ask for a child before you're married." I angrily pushed him away, turned my head and ran down a few steps quickly. After running a long way, he felt that he was not catching up, so he stopped and turned around.I saw him still standing where he was, with a slender bamboo beside him.Standing with the bamboo, he suddenly gave me an illusion, just like Gu Long's demeanor when he described Hua Wuque. But he just looked at me, looking at me across thousands of mountains and rivers. A trace of uneasiness suddenly floated in my heart, and I hurriedly turned around and ran to him, asking, "What's wrong with you? Do you feel unwell?" He suddenly smiled at me, and quickly took my hand all the way Run down the steps.My heart skipped a beat, feeling the coldness of his hand holding me. "Where are you going?" I said out of breath. He grabbed me nonchalantly and continued to run forward. "Go and count the Arhats." Entering the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats, the densely packed statues of the Venerables looked like a forest of stones. I looked up at the two-meter-high statues of the Venerables, and asked curiously, "Are there really five hundred Arhats here?" The nameplate on the base said: "There are numbers engraved on them. Look, this is the two hundred and ninety-fourth seat." Then he suddenly asked me, "Which foot did you step in?" I lifted my right foot. I was wearing a pink canvas shoe today. When I lifted my foot, I realized that the shoelace had loosened at some point.He squatted down silently, slowly picked up two thin white shoelaces, and carefully tied a double bow knot.My heart skipped a beat, and I smiled and said, "Will you tie Nagao Wanji's shoelaces for the rest of your life like Satomi Sekiguchi?" "No." He raised his head to look at me, smiled slightly and said, "I will buy you shoes that don't need laces from now on. Then you don't need to tie them." I snorted and stomped my right foot hard. He took my hand and said, "Counting from the right to your age, that is your Venerable Arhat, maybe it is your previous life." "Really?" I am very curious, and I started counting when he said it.He just stood there looking at me from afar.I counted it up, and when I looked up, the venerable man glared at him with a fierce look on his face.I curled my lips and said, "How could I be like this in my previous life? You are lying. I look much better." As I spoke, I turned around, only to find that Jiang Yang was no longer there. I was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Jiang Yang." Still only my echo echoed me, and the five hundred arhats all blew their beards and stared at me. Could it be that they really hated me and wanted to punish me, taking Jiang Yang away from me like this? I shouted his name loudly, turned around and around, feeling that I could never find the entrance when I came in, I was about to cry.Despair is like a snake letter plucking my heart bit by bit, but suddenly someone hugged me from behind.I screamed, and when I turned around and saw it was him, the tears that had been trying so hard to hold in my eyes finally couldn't help but fell down. I hit him hard: "Where did you go, you scared me to death." But he still smiled nonchalantly, looked into my eyes and said, "I've been here all the time." Yeah, he's actually been here all along.It's just that I didn't find it, I'm so stupid. "Don't leave my sight, okay, if...if you suddenly... disappear." I wanted to break free from his hand, but he refused to let go. I couldn't calm down, sobbing intermittently.He hugged me tighter, and I cried: "If you disappeared suddenly like three years ago, where would I find you?" He took my hand and hugged me into his arms, breathing lightly on the top of my head. "I'm not going, no." I sniffed and said, "Don't lie to me." He smiled, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with his fingers, and said, "There are so many Bodhisattvas looking at me here, I dare not." His knuckles touched my cheek, which turned out to be icy cold. When I was going down the mountain, I saw a lottery in front of the temple, so I went over curiously and asked for a lottery.He took it over and looked at the four lines of the poem, and asked me, "What do you mean?" I took back the lottery and said, "How do I know, I'm going to unravel the lottery, but you can't read it." He smiled and said: " Then I'll go get some water." I walked to the pavement where the lottery was released, and gave the lottery to a teacher and father.He looked at me and asked, "What's your question?" "Ask for peace." "Ask for safety..." The teacher and father actually sighed, and said after a long time: "Ask about marriage, it's a lottery, but if you ask about safety, I'm afraid it's a lottery." My heart sank suddenly, as if I had sunk into an endless deep pool. Jiang Yang came back from buying mineral water and asked me, "How is it?" I laughed and said, "It's signed." He laughed and said, "Let me just say, you are a perfect match like me and you must be on the lottery. If I had known earlier, if I didn't let him earn that money, I would have solved it."
