Chapter 36 Yellow leaves falling in the autumn wind (20)

Two divorced men and women are now concerned about their common child. They took turns sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, holding their son who had acute pneumonia.No quarrels, no complaints, just get along very well with each other.This phenomenon is simply unimaginable in their lives here and there.The disaster they faced together melted the resentment of both sides into warmth.At this moment, in addition to caring about their children together, they even cared about each other. They both knew now, though, that there was a wall between them—a fortified wall.They were all careful, expressing their concern for each other in a measured manner on both sides of the "wall".

At noon, Guanghou brought back rice from the sick stove, in duplicate. Liying didn't say anything, just took the job from him and ate it. After the child fell asleep, Liying took time out to wash Bingbing's dirty clothes.Before leaving, she said to Gao Guanghou, "Take off your shirt and let me wash it together. Your back is full of mud." Gao Guanghou knew that there was mud on his back - it was dirty from wrestling last night.He hesitated, but seeing Liying insisting on waiting, he took it off and gave it to her. In the evening, Liying took back the dried clothes, spread them out on the bed, rubbed them flat with her hands, and handed them to him.While putting on his clothes, he said, "It's getting late, you should go home quickly. Bingbing is better now, I'm here—"

"I'm not going back." Liying said, "I'm worried about Bingbing. There's nothing wrong at home. Lao Lu went to the district for a meeting. I've already settled the child for the neighbors. Let them say hello..." Gao Guanghou thought in his heart He was willing to let her go, but he didn't want to let her go.He is afraid of gossip, which is not good for them. She has her home now.In addition, he would like her to stay by Bingbing's side, so that the child's emotions can be stabilized, and his own spirit can be relaxed.However, he didn't say: "You go back and come back tomorrow morning..."

"I won't go back. I won't be able to sleep even if I go back. I'll just sit on this bed and hug Bingbing..." Gao Guanghou had no choice but to say, "I'll go to the water room to lie down for a while. There's a fire there. If there's anything urgent, just call me." ..." Then he turned and walked out. Liying watched his back disappear into the darkness of the yard. For some reason, she felt a little sad now.no matter waht.They were married for several years and had a son together.He is unlucky now.And his misfortune was also caused by her. Yes, he had loved her faithfully, and had done everything in his power to please her.The heavy life has bent his waist, but it still hasn't allowed him to escape the blow of fate.

It can't be all her fault.She couldn't live in fear with him for the rest of her life.If Lu Ruohua didn't appear in her life, she might spend her whole life with him wholeheartedly.But in their lives, Lu Ruohua happened to appear... Gao Guanghou probably thought that she was satisfied with everything now.However, how could he know that she also paid a heavy price!Even though he lost her, he still has Bingbing!But what about her?In other respects, I am satisfied and honored, but a piece of flesh on the tip of my heart has been gouged out!Dear Bingbing, that is a piece of flesh on the tip of her heart... Liying sat on the bed, thinking about it this way, and suddenly felt a little desolate.She realized that, in the final analysis, both she and Gao Guanghou had their own misfortunes (this seems to be a word from a novel).She vaguely felt that when they were together in the past, they suffered a lot, but they didn't have such a deep pain now...

In the middle of the night, she gently put the sleeping Bingbing on the bed.She covered him with the quilt, padded the pillow up, and couldn't help but took the blanket out of the room.When she came to the water room of the hospital, she saw the poor man sitting with his back leaning against the wall of the boiler, asleep; A cloud of gloom hangs over. She hastily unfolded the blanket, gently covered him, and then exited the house that smelled of charcoal. She returned to the ward again, and saw Bingbing was sleeping peacefully. She bent down, put her ear to the child's chest and listened, and felt that her breathing was more normal.She was also pleasantly surprised to realize that the interval between Bingbing's two coughs had also become longer, unlike when she first came in the morning, he couldn't stop for a while.

She couldn't sleep at all, and walked out of the ward lightly, walking slowly back and forth on the ground outside the door.For some reason, she felt that she was particularly disturbed tonight—it wasn't all because of the child's illness... Two days later, Bingbing's illness completely improved.When the chief doctor checked the ward and announced that everything was back to normal for the child, both Gao Guanghou and Liu Liying couldn't help grinning.Bingbing regained his health and his naughty spirit.He yelled all over the house without stopping for a moment.Liying bought him a big toy beetle that could run and circle in the street, and the three of them immediately squatted on the ground and started playing.Gao Guanghou and Liu Liying took turns winding up their feet to let the beetle crawl on the ground; Bingbing clapped his little hands and chased the beetle away while shouting.The two adults were also shouting and laughing happily, as if they had become dolls too.When they were so happy, a nurse came in and asked Liying to answer the phone.Liying came back after going out for a while.Her face suddenly became very pale.She said to Gao Guanghou: "Old Lu is back, I have to go back..."

Gao Guanghou stopped laughing and said, "Then you go back. You don't want to come again, the doctor told us to leave the hospital tomorrow..." Liying walked over, picked up Bingbing, kissed him desperately on the cheek for a long time, then put him on the ground, and said to him: "Mom, go out for a while, you'll be back soon..." She turned around , walked out hurriedly with his head down, and covered his eyes with one palm...
