Chapter 70 Section 1

As soon as I got out of the elevator with my breakfast in hand, I saw a group of doctors and nurses passing by me like a whirlwind.Such scenes are common in hospitals, and I am no longer surprised, but when I saw the room they entered, my body trembled and I fell to the ground earlier. I ran to the ward, but two nurses stopped me, and several people rushed to the emergency room pushing my father's bed.After they entered the emergency room, the two nurses let me go and forced me to sit on a stool. I didn't hear what they said at all, and I sat there dumbly, staring at the people in the emergency room.

Lu Licheng came running in big strides, sat down beside me silently, called "Su Man", and was speechless again. Song Xiang also hurried over and sat silently on the other side of me. Not long after, Malatang also rushed over on high heels, and when he saw me, he hugged me. I murmured to her, "I'm not ready, I'm not ready..." After a long time, the door of the emergency room opened, and I jumped up immediately, but I didn't have the courage to go forward.Song Xiang and Lu Licheng exchanged glances, Lu Licheng and Malatang stayed and accompanied me to see my father, and Song Xiang went to talk to the doctor.

Dad is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 150 kilograms. He is considered a standard northern man, but now he looks only 90 kilograms in the hospital bed, and he seems to be exhausted every time he breathes.I squatted in front of his bed, held his hand, and pressed it to my face. In the distance, the conversation between Song Xiang and the doctor could be heard intermittently, "...the cancer cells have caused most of the patient's internal organs to fail... The patient's willpower is very strong, and he is now relying on willpower to maintain his life... Will Very happy, you have to be mentally prepared..."

Dad opened his eyes and looked at me. I leaned into his ear and called, "Dad." Dad wanted to laugh, but frowned in pain.I want to cry, but I can only smile. Dad stared at me for a while, then passed out again. I stood motionless in front of my father's hospital bed.Song Xiang and Malatang asked me to eat, I ate a few mouthfuls and vomited it all up, but they stopped trying to persuade me, and only asked me to drink as much water as I could. Dad is sometimes comatose and sometimes awake.When he was unconscious, a painful moan escaped from his throat; when he was awake, he kept looking at me.

Both Lu Licheng and Song Xiang wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to open their mouths.I know what they are thinking, but this is my father! Malatang didn't want to bear it, she said with tears in her eyes, "Manman, I know you don't want uncle to leave, but you can't let uncle keep it for you anymore, he is too painful, watching him in pain makes you even more painful .” I don't say anything. In the afternoon, Dad had vomiting blood, and the doctor intubated him to remove the accumulated blood in his lungs.Such a thick tube was inserted into his internal organs, I finally couldn't restrain myself anymore, ran into the corridor, leaned against the wall and cried bitterly.

Malatang they have no choice but to watch me cry.Human strength is too weak in the face of death. After crying, I wiped away my tears and said to them, "I want to be alone with my dad." I found my dad's birthday present, sat next to him, and when he woke up again, I showed him my unfinished photo album. "Dad, this is my birthday present for you." I showed him page by page. "This is a photo of you when you first transferred from the army." "This is a picture of my mother when she first started working." "This is the first photo of you and your mother together."

"This is the 100-day photo of my birth." ... Turning to the last photo, I said, "Just did it. I just got into college. But I'll keep doing it." Dad blinked at me, and I rubbed my face against his palm, "Dad, you can go with mom at ease! I... I will take care of myself." I finally said this sentence.I thought I would cry, but I actually smiled, "Dad, you don't have to insist on me anymore, don't worry about me, I can really take care of myself. I won't be alone, you can see..." I Hold up the photo album and show him, "I have such a rich love, I know that no matter where you are, you will always love me and always look at me. I will be fine and live happily."

There was a gurgling sound in Dad's throat.I said: "I will find a good man and marry him. I also want to have a daughter and tell her the story of her grandpa and grandma. Dad, I assure you, I will live happily ever after!" Suddenly there was a force in my father's hand, and he held me tightly, and I held him tightly. His eyes looked at me directly, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears. I cried out, "Dad, You can go with mom at ease! Don't insist anymore, don't insist anymore..." Lu Licheng, Song Xiang and Malatang heard my crying and ran in.Lu Licheng said, "Uncle, don't worry, I..." He glanced at Song Xiang, "Song Xiang, Xu Lianshuang and I will help you take care of Su Man."

Malatang also said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, don't worry! Manman will never be alone. From today, I will be her biological sister, and I will always take care of her and stay with her." Dad was gurgling in his throat, and I knelt by his bed, crying and saying, "Dad, go find Mommy! My daughter has grown up and can take care of herself." The strength in my father's hand gradually disappeared, and he looked at me with fixed eyes, caring, reluctant, hoping, and blessing. In the end, all the light dimmed bit by bit as the fire of life went out. With a beep, the beating graph on the heartbeat monitor turned into a straight line.

Nurses ran in, and so did the doctor. They announced the time of death, and countless people were talking, but I couldn't make out a word. I held my father's gradually cold hand and refused to let go.From now on, no one will nagging me, no one will force me to go on a blind date, no one will call and tell me not to stay up late... In less than half a year, I lost two people who loved me the most in the world.From now on, in this world, I will be an orphan. Malatang knelt beside me, turned my face and looked at her, "Manman, you still have relatives, have you forgotten? We said that we are sisters for life, I promised your father, I am your sister."

I stared blankly at her for a while, hugged her, buried my head on her shoulder, tears streaming down my face.She cried with me.I cried louder and louder. Gradually, I discarded all the restraint and forbearance of an adult, and began to cry like a child. Malatang has been holding me tightly, allowing me to vent my pain and reluctance until I cry and faint in her arms. As soon as I opened my eyes, someone came over and asked, "Are you awake? Do you want some water?" It's Song Xiang.I asked, "What about Malatang?" He said: "She and Lu Licheng are cooking outside, and I will be in charge of waiting for you to wake up." I sat up, hadn't eaten for a day, and my body was a little weak, Song Xiang hurriedly supported me, and handed me a glass of orange juice, "Drink some orange juice first." I finished my orange juice, "I want to wash my face before eating." "it is good." I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. In the past few months, I have also become very thin, my chin is sharp, and my eyes are especially big. Now I am crying and red and swollen, and I look haggard. Looking at me so worried.My chest was swollen, and I wanted to cry again, but I immediately splashed cold water on my face to force back the tears.Looking at my wet face in the mirror, I put my hand on the mirror, pointed to my forehead, and said seriously: "What did you promise Dad? You can't let them worry. Are you willing to let them worry?" Taking a few deep breaths, I quickly washed my face, combed my hair again, and cleaned myself up neatly. When I came out, all the dishes on the dining table had been set, and I said, "It smells so good, it must not be made by Malatang." Malatang was dissatisfied, "What? Every dish has my credit, I washed the onion, I cut the ginger, and I peeled the garlic. Is it Lu Licheng?" Lu Licheng said angrily: "Yes, you have contributed the most. If I want shredded ginger, you chop it for me; if I want chopped green onion, you give me chopped green onion. You are very reasonable to tell me a few words." Malatang was dissatisfied, and wanted to hit him with a spatula, but Lu Licheng hid aside.Malatang served me a meal and said: "I never dreamed that Comrade Lu Licheng's cooking skills are so good. His wife will be blessed in the future!" I laughed and said casually, "You won't regret it, will you?" As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned, and Lu Licheng immediately smiled and said, "It's time to eat." I took my seat and started eating, eating as much as I could, whether I had an appetite or not. The three of them talked with me, seeing that I seemed to have a good appetite, they were all very happy.But when I wanted a second bowl of rice, Lu Licheng took away the bowls and chopsticks and forbade me to eat any more. "I've been hungry all day, so I'll eat this much first." Song Xiang said: "Don't push yourself too much, grief takes time to resolve." I sat down silently, and they sat down, and Malatang talked about the plans and arrangements of the three of them for the funeral, and asked me if I had any other opinions.Malatang took out some albums and showed me, "These are the cemeteries we selected, and the environment is very good. I chose the ashes of my uncle and aunt to be buried together. What do you think?" I nod.The three of them have considered the most meticulous, I said: "Thank you, without you during this time, I don't know who I am..." Mala Tang "yelled", "You are polite to me? Do you believe that I will deal with you later?" Lu Licheng smiled lightly and said, "I just remember someone said, no thanks, just go through fire and water." Song Xiang stared at me without speaking. With the help of the three of them and the eldest sister, the funeral of father and mother was simple and solemn. After my father and mother were buried, I still had more than 50,000 yuan left in my passbook.The eldest sister was afraid that I would be too sad if I was alone, so she suggested that I go to work immediately and promised to help me find a good job, but I rejected her kind offer.The eldest sister advised me, but seeing my weight loss, she said, "It's time to take a good rest and recover." I told my elder sister that because I don’t plan to work for the time being, there is no need to live in the city, so I plan to move back to the old house where my parents and I lived in Fangshan.Malatang said to the eldest sister: "I will harass her every day, so that she has no time to think about it." Having made a decision, I started packing my things. I don’t see many things, but I actually pack a lot, and I am reluctant to throw things away. A vase, a dried flower, there is always a story of me buying this thing, so it takes a lot of time to pack things one by one. .However, I have a lot of time now, so it is also very interesting to work slowly and recall the origin of everything while doing it. I packed up a foot massager, and I remembered that Malatang bought it for me.I worked overtime every day for a while, and I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to walk. Malatang bought this massager for me. When I was lying in front of the desk and working, I put it under my feet, so I could work while massaging. Keep fit and work at the same time.
