Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Lao Fang was exhausted from venting, changed his mind, returned to his original appearance, pretended nothing had happened, and asked me to step down. Opening the door, he said, "Close your eyes." "Gah?" "Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you." "What is it?" "Don't ask, just listen." His boyishness came again, and I had to close my eyes. He took me into the room and said to me: "Open and sleep." I did so, and saw a colossal object in the study. After looking carefully, it turned out to be a computer from half a century ago. It was clumsy and heavy, and it used software.I flipped the switch casually, the tape was spinning, and it was cumbersome, like a big desire, the light bulb was half-lit, and it looked like a prop in a low-cost science fiction movie. Where did Lao Fang go to get this treasure?

"How about it," Lao Fang excitedly said, "it's okay, the latest BX15890 tortoise brain, I know that your stuff is much more advanced, but if it's used as a toy for entertainment, I'm afraid it can relieve your loneliness." It turned out to be Lao Fang's kindness, so I quickly thanked him and pretended to be curious. Oh, what to do. This reminds me of an ancient legend: a fisherman caught a mermaid in the ocean, and in order to make her survive in a strange environment, he built a pool at home... It is useless, how can a tank of water compare with the sea? .

Technology is changing with each passing day. In our generation, the entire concept of computers has changed. There is no need for electricity, and there is no need to use fluorescent screens. I have no interest, like a mermaid, I long to go back to the sea. I asked Lao Fang in my mouth: "It's very expensive, don't waste money." He reservedly replied: "It's okay, as long as you're happy." "Does it matter if I'm happy or not?" "Yes, it is very important. If you are not happy, I will not be happy either. In order to make myself happy, I must first make you happy."

Here he is again. "To see your grandma tomorrow?" he asked. "Already made an appointment." "Tell her to go to the hospital, and I'll find the best cardiologist for her." "History proves that there is only so much in her life." "Since you are here, you have to do your best, and she loves life." "She is indeed very strong. If it were me, she would have collapsed earlier." Lao Fang stared at me, "Not necessarily." I am silent. "Would you like to try this new distance tool? I won't hinder you." He exited tactfully.

After the incident was revealed, he treated me better and tried his best to help me adapt to the new environment. It is best to stay. What did mother say?I sat in front of the panel of an antique computer and thought.She said that during the difficult period when she lost her mother when she was young, there was a kind aunt who took care of her wholeheartedly. What happened to that lady, which means what happened to me?Why didn't I listen carefully to what my mother said? Every time I think about it, I really want to hit the wall. Why did my mother never mention Fang Zhongxin to me?Did he take care of her afterwards, did he keep his promise?

I swear that if I go back to my mother, I will sit opposite her, make a good pot of tea, and ask her to talk about it from the beginning. I looked at the computer in front of me and said hello, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in bothering you. Sighing, he didn't dare to leave the study room, fearing that Lao Fang would be displeased. If he knew how to accommodate his companions in this way, he wouldn't have to quarrel with his veins. Although the air conditioner in the square house lowers the temperature, it makes people's eyes dry and nose dry. If you accidentally sit on the air outlet, half of your head will hurt. You can't find a comfortable corner in the whole house. I didn't expect that human beings are still in the stage of wrestling with nature. Primitive as hell.

Lao Fang said that my luck is not bad, the technology has really improved in the past 50 years, if it goes back another 50 years, women will still have their feet bound, and if it is not done well, it will be even more unimaginable to go to the wrong place and go to a wilderness . Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, it just happens to turn black. This computer can't help me, it's still in the stage of ignorance, it needs to be fed countless materials, let it chew and digest, and then it can provide me with knowledge, it will take at least three to five years, the old Fang wants me to stay, but I don't.

I just look forward to seeing my family tomorrow. I didn't wait for the appointed time on Saturday, and I was already ready to move. After changing my clothes, I couldn't stand the time, so I might as well go early. Don't blame me for being impolite. The driver took me to my grandma's house, and I felt bad when I didn't enter the door. A lot of neighbors crowded at the door, and only Xiao Aimei's crying was heard. I pushed through the crowd vigorously, only to see Ai Mei was hugged by a mother-in-law, crying in horror, while ambulance personnel in white were carrying a stretcher into the narrow corridor.

"What is it?" I was anxious. "Get out of the way." The male nurse pushed me away. The mother-in-law recognized me and said angrily, "It's Mrs. Deng. She was ironing clothes and suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Let's call an ambulance immediately." The stretcher was carried out, and grandma was lying on it, her face golden and purple. I hugged Aimei with one hand and took grandma's pulse with the other. In my panic, I couldn't find anything, and the ambulance staff pushed me away. "Only relatives are allowed to follow the car!"

I said to my mother-in-law: "Please take care of me here." I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be very careful in her busy schedule, "Who are you to take Aimei away like this?" My tongue was burning and my lips were dry, and I didn't know how to explain it. Seeing that the stretcher was already going downstairs, my mother-in-law was still holding me. Unexpectedly, Aimei suddenly said: "I'm going with Auntie, mother-in-law, I want to go with Auntie." The neighbors said: "Let Amy and this lady be, they are relatives." No matter how much my mother-in-law hesitated, I already rushed down.

The driver of Fang's family was sweating outside the door, "Miss Lu, what's going on?" As if I had met a savior, "Follow the ambulance and inform Fang Zhongxin that something happened to my grandma." "Miss Lu, you read that right," he stared blankly, "I clearly saw that the one picked up was a young woman." "Go, go, go," Aimee put her arms around my neck tightly, and I squeezed into the ambulance. The crude equipment on the car made me stunned.Grandma was furious, but I couldn't help her.I coaxed little Aimei, and she was also clinging tightly to my arms, the sweat and tears of the two of us mingled together. The deadly car is as slow as ants, and it is still wobbly when it is moving forward. Great efforts have been made to improve the killing weapons. The equipment for saving people is so poor that life is cheaper than weeds. Little Aimei was a little dizzy and couldn't help sobbing. I hugged her whole body, as if this could make up for something. Her silky soft hair was all stuck to her head, and I pushed her back to the forehead one by one. . This little girl is my mother. Without her, I would not be there. I was originally a small group of cells in her body.Me and her, she and me are inseparable at all, why I never thought about it before. The car finally arrived, and Fang Zhongxin was already at the gate of the hospital. Lucky to have him. I picked up Aimei, and he helped us out of the car. I begged Fang Zhongxin: "The best doctor." He nodded solemnly, and took Aimei in his hands. As soon as I let go of Aimei, I realized that my arms were weak, and it was difficult to raise them any longer. I used too much force and my muscles were injured.Grandma was wheeled into the emergency room, and we waited on a bench. Just change a heart. In our place, many people walk, eat, and do things with artificial hearts, spleens, pancreas, and livers. It doesn’t affect them at all, and they still live to the end of their lives. But here, it is impossible for medicine to do it. Lao Fang said to me: "I have invited a doctor for consultation and will do my best." It's a pity that their power is limited. Lao Fang cared about me pitifully, "Look at you." I knew that this tossing made me look bad, but I didn't expect to be in such a mess. My white clothes were all wrinkled, and there were little Aimee's dirty shoe prints on my chest, and the hem of my skirt was torn when I strode forward. Sweat stains, like a nun. I smile wryly. "Do you want to go back and wash?" I shake my head. "Would you hate me?" "Me? I still love you when you lose your hair." I smiled tiredly, "Is it really so great?" "One day you will believe it." He looked at little Aimei in his arms, "Ask your mother, and she will tell you." Little Aimei fell asleep, and Lao Fang took off his coat to wrap her up.I asked, "You were busy in the factory just now." "It doesn't matter." "I am so sorry." "The importance of a matter depends on personal likes and dislikes. At present, your matter is the most important, without a doubt." He actually did this for me. I'm just an unkempt poor woman who has gone to the wrong place, but he values ​​me. The doctor steps out and hints at his past. Lao Fang naturally knew him and went to meet him. They talked to him quietly for a while, Lao Fang propped one hand on the wall, and still hugged Aimei with the other. He looked so strong and reliable, unexpectedly so calm, very different from before. After speaking with the doctor, he came back to me. "How?" I asked. "Life on machines, not for long." I'm down. "Don't be too sad, you already know the ending." I asked, "Is Aimei heavy?" "No, she is your mother." This old Fang is really an opportunist, he must force my tears out with nasty words. "I think we're going to bring Aimee home." "Naturally, I'll send for errands at once: furniture, clothes, toys, and, besides, I'll find the best nurses and governesses." Ai Mei woke up, and Lao Fang put her to sit next to me. I asked her: "Is it okay to live with Auntie?" "Where's mom?" She asked sensiblely. "Mom is resting here." "Is she not coming back?" "Yes, why not? When the doctor says she is cured, she can come back and be with us." Aimee seemed satisfied. She reached out her little hand and played with the brooch on my neckline. "Does it look good, do you like it?" She nodded. I untied it and fastened it to her dress. From this day forward, it becomes her beloved ornament and she will keep this keepsake forever.I asked Lao Fang, "Can I see grandma now?" He shook his head, "Not yet, we have to wait until tomorrow morning." "Then let's go home first." "I will accompany you." "You have something to do, why not go back to the factory first, I can take care of Aimei." He thought about it: "I'll ask the driver to take you off." The driver did not forget this incident, and he became very close to me. He thought I was just a woman who lived with Fang Zhongxin. Follow me, knowing that I won't leave for a year or so, so I just work hard. I took Aimei to Fang Zhai.
