Chapter 31 Section IX

Facts have proved that Gu Xiaoying's premonition is very accurate. After Xie Jiarong finally learned to get on the bus by swiping the card and the rules of "go up the front door and go down the back door", the first problem she saw was that she couldn't read, so she couldn't read the bus stop sign, and she didn't listen to the instructions on how to get on the bus. The habit of voice reporting the name of the station (even if I hear it several times occasionally), I finally figured out which station to transfer at by counting the number of stops, but because the 302 road is a shuttle bus, it is divided I didn't know which section of the car I wanted to take, but I finally figured it out by asking the driver (of course, the premise of doing this is to meet a smart driver who can understand Xie Jiarong's accent). Walking through the back door, I often almost missed the time to get off the car, and finally made no mistakes, but no one thought that one day, the city repaired the road, and a section of the road in the middle changed the parking place. As a result, Xie Jiarong got out of the car in a daze... Lost up.

That day, looking at the completely unfamiliar buildings around her, Xie Jiarong was at a loss. She asked someone to inquire, and vaguely knew that she would go back, then turn left at the first crossroad, go north for 500 meters, turn west, and walk another 200 meters before going north... I don't know what she was doing It’s a turn, anyway, after turning a few turns, it’s getting farther and farther away from the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine... So, Gu Xiaoying, who was cooking and washing clothes at home, received a call from Guan Liming borrowed someone else’s mobile phone at noon. One sentence: "Xiaoying, your mother is lost!"

Gu Xiaoying shivered in fright: "No way, she has already learned how to ride a bus." "She hasn't come to the hospital so far," Guan Liming seemed anxious, "She can't read, and she can't understand when she speaks. She is still timid. She will go to the hospital as far away as possible when she lives to this age. Passing through our town...how can this be done?" "Don't worry about Dad, I'll go out and look for it right away," Gu Xiaoying replied hastily, "You can order a set meal in the hospital restaurant at noon, I'll go find my mother, and I'll bring you dinner in the evening after I find it."

"Be careful," Guan Liming sighed angrily again, "Don't you say this is just adding to the trouble?" "It's okay, it's okay, I'll look for it," although Gu Xiaoying also felt that it was troublesome, but she couldn't say this, she could only comfort, "I'll go out now!" Putting down the phone, Gu Xiaoying changed into her clothes, put on a parasol and went outside—it was a scorching hot day, before it rained, the weather was sweltering, she was sweating profusely, and she started looking along the diverted route 302, but the city is so big, Can't find it at all!

After finding it in the morning, Gu Xiaoying walked the streets of this city for five hours. When she was tired, she just sat on the side of the road and drank some water. When she was hungry, she bought two steamed buns. This is the first time she knew what It's called "Finding a Needle in a Haystack", and she has never regretted it as much as she does now - regretting that she didn't think of giving Xie Jiarong a mobile phone first. Finally in the evening, Gu Xiaoying received a call, which was actually from a neighbor's house. The moment she heard Xie Jiarong's voice, Gu Xiaoying's legs were sore and she almost collapsed on the side of the road.

Xie Jiarong was obviously exhausted, and said out of breath, "Xiaoying, I finally walked home, where are you?" Gu Xiaoying's nose was also sore, and her tears fell uncontrollably. She wanted to complain, or even lose her temper. If she followed her own temper, she should have yelled, "Where can I be, what am I? Are you looking for you all over the street?"... But she couldn't, so she had to say angrily: "Mom, I'm outside, where have you been?" "I'm lost and I can't find the hospital. Finally, someone taught me how to walk home. This city is so big that my legs are about to break..." Xie Jiarong said so much for the first time Gu Xiaoying heard the words, but became more and more angry.

"I'll go home now." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, stood up and stopped a taxi to go to the dormitory of the provincial party committee. The air conditioner was turned on in the taxi, and as soon as Gu Xiaoying touched the air conditioner In an instant, the soul that was almost scorched by the scorching heat quickly stretched out coolly. She slumped on the back seat of the taxi, feeling that every pore in her body was exchanging heat, and he didn't want to move - five hours, under the scorching sun, in thirty-nine-degree weather, Gu Xiaoying felt that she couldn't cry even if she wanted to.

In this way, a storm of getting lost broke out suddenly but ended quietly.As someone else's daughter-in-law, Gu Xiaoying could only smile and comfort Xie Jiarong, "It's okay, it's okay." She knows that she is not a saint, so don't take her as a female role model when fighting - in fact, she has a lot of anger in her stomach, and she is eager to vent it on Guan Tong's head, and she even wants to have a big fight with Xie Jiarong. She doesn't know what she was in her previous life If you have accumulated virtue or committed crimes, it is still reliable to find a man, but how can the mother of this reliable man be so unreliable?

But she couldn't say these words in front of Xie Jiarong, maybe it was because of Xie Jiarong's apologetic smile, maybe it was because of the expression on her face that she knew she had caused trouble to others, or maybe it was because of the deep feeling in Gu Xiaoying's heart when she asked herself. Feeling guilty, she sighed and thought: If she could take Xie Jiarong on the bus a few more times, if she could anticipate these emergencies in advance to avoid accidents, if she could have more experience with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...would everything be fine? Can it be different?

But you also know that challenges in life are everywhere. Although they are trivial, they are more ups and downs than novels. For example, after more than ten hours, early the next morning, Gu Xiaoying found out in horror——she saw red. At that moment, Gu Xiaoying almost stopped her heartbeat. She rushed out of the bathroom almost like crazy, picked up her mobile phone and called Jiang Mingbo. Jiang Mingbo didn't know what he was doing. Xie Jiarong saw it, and followed in wondering, "What's the matter with you?" Gu Xiaoying didn't bother to answer, but just pressed the replay button over and over again... Finally, after the Nth replay, Jiang Mingbo picked it up Telephone.

"I went to check the ward just now," Jiang Mingbo said cheerfully, "Is there something urgent for me?" "I'm so popular," Gu Xiaoying cried, "What should I do?" "Don't panic," Jiang Mingbo's voice sank, "Come and check right away." Gu Xiaoying grabbed her clothes and rushed out the door, Xie Jiarong followed behind and asked one after another: "What's the matter, Xiaoying, what is your urgent matter?" Gu Xiaoying didn't turn her head back and said, "It's all right." Xie Jiarong was still talking behind, but Gu Xiaoying couldn't care less.He didn't know if it was because of the five hours of walking yesterday, if it was - she didn't know what kind of attitude she should use to get along with Xie Jiarong, of course Gu Xiaoying also knew that Xie Jiarong was right, but she, Gu Xiaoying, was also right Ah, why does she have to pay for the troubles their old housekeeper caused every time? When she arrived at the hospital, Jiang Mingbo quickly took Gu Xiaoying into the B-ultrasound room. When she undressed in front of Jiang Mingbo for the first time, Gu Xiaoying couldn't even take care of her psychological barriers. It is the most important thing. Fortunately, in the end Jiang Mingbo announced with a sigh of relief: "The child is fine for the time being." The moment Gu Xiaoying heard these words, the blood in her whole body finally returned to normal flow. But Doctor Jiang was very upset: "Do you know that people who have had miscarriages are prone to habitual miscarriages, why are they so careless!" Gu Xiaoying obediently followed Jiang Mingbo to the consulting room, while listening to him scolding: "When I go back, I will find a clinic that can provide door-to-door service, and give regular injections according to the injections I prescribed. From now on, I must stay in bed, not take the stairs, and not carry heavy objects. , cannot share the same room..." Gu Xiaoying kept nodding. Seeing her like this, Jiang Mingbo lost his temper in a rare way: "What the hell are you doing, don't you know that the first three months of pregnancy are very dangerous? Other office workers can't wait to ask for leave and go home and lie down. Why don't you lie down on the bed to protect your baby during the summer vacation? You say you..." He stopped talking, just sat at the table and stared at Gu Xiaoying, Gu Xiaoying smiled wryly, unable to answer—could she say that she was looking for her missing mother-in-law?Can she say that the reason why her mother-in-law disappeared is because she can't take a bus, doesn't know the road signs, and doesn't understand the way pointed out by well-meaning people?She can say that the big troubles that your sister Jiang Mingbo got rid of are now my troubles, your mother is wise and powerful, and I have to suffer on my own... Can she say that? She can't say anything, her heart is more bitter than Huanglian, but she can only swallow all the bitterness and rot in her heart. In the end, Gu Xiaoying had made countless calculations, and finally missed one thing——Guan Tong went to the hospital to take care of Liming after returning from a business trip, so after listening to Guan Liming's story about Xie Jiarong's lost journey, he hurriedly called Gu Xiaoying when he got out of the ward It just so happened that Gu Xiaoying had just come out of the hospital and was making an appointment for an injection at the clinic in the dormitory area. Guan Tong asked: "Where are you?" "Our house is downstairs," Gu Xiaoying originally wanted to say that she was in the clinic, but after thinking about it carefully, she decided to wait for him to go home and tell him face-to-face that she decided to buy a mobile phone for Xie Jiarong, so she didn't say much, just Ask: "Are you back?" "I just got off the train, so I came to see our dad first. There is something in the office, and I have to go back to the office later." Guan Tong frowned, "Didn't you tell our mom how to take the bus? get lost?" When Gu Xiaoying heard this sentence, her stomach burst into anger, and the patience she had cultivated since she got married collapsed in an instant, and she couldn't help but sneer: "Guan Tong, if it's between your mother and your child Choose one, who would you choose?" "What kind of inexplicable problem is this?" Guan Tong stood at the entrance of the Chinese Medicine Hospital and waited for a long time without catching a taxi. We have never been out of the house and are illiterate. We have to think about everything in advance. You said that an old lady lost her way and walked for a long time under the sun. Wouldn't this exhaust her? If it was your mother, Don't you feel bad?" "My mother can read and write, my mother can take a taxi, and my mother can even drive," Gu Xiaoying gritted her teeth, "I won't tell you so many useless things, if you have time now, hurry up and go home! " "How did you talk? Can't you talk well if you have something to say?" Guan Tong was angry, "I'm just asking what's going on, I have to go back to the unit to prepare for the meeting in the afternoon..." Gu Xiaoying took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then said to the phone word by word: "Guan Tong, listen carefully, your mother was lost for a long time, I searched for her on the street for five hours, five hours Ah... Do you know that I am a pregnant woman? Do you know that I am a pregnant woman who had a miscarriage before! Just now, Jiang Mingbo told me that the reason why I am popular today is because of a threatened miscarriage! If I walked a few more yesterday Street, your child will be gone!" Gu Xiaoying yelled the last sentence angrily, the tears finally could not be held back, and they fell down. She hung up the phone bitterly, then raised her arms and wiped away the tears vigorously, recalling yesterday's tragic experience, and then looked at herself. She was limping because of an injection of progesterone, and she was so angry that she wanted to find a tree and kick her feet hard. She wiped her tears and walked home, feeling aggrieved to death, thinking bitterly: Why? Men don't have to have children?Why can they become fathers when they are happy?Why do they yell and scream and don't have to suffer at all?Why do you say they are! On the other side of the phone, Guan Tong basically froze after hearing Gu Xiaoying's words. After a few seconds, his brain resumed functioning, so he no longer cared about being civilized and polite, and almost rushed into an empty taxi and headed straight for home. He was terrified all the way—the last time Gu Xiaoying was yelled at by him after she had a miscarriage, and this time she almost had a miscarriage, but she was yelled at by him again... He felt his heart constricted, and wished he could really let him carry a thorn back home to apologize. Urging the driver to fly downstairs all the way, Guan Tong didn't even bother to get the change and ran home. When he got home, he saw Gu Xiaoying lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Close without expression. Guan Tong hurriedly sat by the bed, held Gu Xiaoying's hand and asked, "How are you doing?" "It's okay," Gu Xiaoying squeezed out a sentence between her teeth, without even opening her eyes, she just shook his hand away vigorously. "Sorry, I was too anxious just now," Guan Tong really wanted to slap himself twice, "What did the doctor say?" "Baby protection." Gu Xiaoying didn't want to say a word to this person. "How to protect the pregnancy?" Guan Tong had never heard of this word, and frowned at Gu Xiaoying. Gu Xiaoying's tone was flat, and she closed her eyes to repeat mechanically: "You can't go downstairs, you can't work, you can't have sex, you can only lie down, and the doctor comes to give injections every day." Guan Tong was so distressed that he didn't know how to express it: "Then don't go to the hospital, just lie down. The doctor didn't say how long you will lie down?" "Go for a review in two weeks." Gu Xiaoying still didn't open her eyes. "I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me." Guan Tong kept sighing, his words were incoherent and he didn't know how to express his inner guilt. Seeing that Gu Xiaoying still didn't respond, he had no choice but to Change the subject: "Where's our mother?" "Go to the hospital." Gu Xiaoying turned around after saying this and completely ignored him. Guan Tong sat on the edge of the bed with his head down and didn't speak. He didn't know what to say—at this moment, he really understood an old saying, "You can't live without doing your own crimes."
