Back home, it was still so familiar and warm. Although it was still the temporary residence of the school, the reason why the home was home was because there were people you loved and loved the most, you were abandoned by the whole world, and this would be the warmest harbor.
But there was no one at home. I didn't tell my parents before I came. I thought they were going out for a walk, so I called my mother.
"Mom, where are you?"
"I'm here... Where are you?" My mother asked me instead of answering.
"I'm at our door. It's locked. Where did you and my dad go?"
"You're home. Then wait at home. Your father and I will be home soon."
I frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with my mother. I didn't even tell me where she was just now, so I asked worriedly, "Where are you?"
"In the hospital."
"Hospital!"
When I heard the word, I suddenly thumped, and my whole body couldn't help but get anxious. I asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I just caught a cold. I'm about to finish the transfusion here."
As soon as I heard this, I felt bad and immediately went to the hospital. I complained, "Mom, why didn't you tell me you're sick?"
"It's just a cold. What's there to say?" I know my mom didn't tell me because she was afraid I was worried.
"I'll go over now."
I didn't tell my mother much. I walked quickly to the hospital and felt very uncomfortable. My mother was ill. If I hadn't come back today, I wouldn't have known anything.
It wasn't long before I arrived at the hospital and saw my mother sitting on a chair with an iv drip while my father was by her side.
I felt a little uncomfortable. When I walked over to them, I said to my mother, "Mom, why didn't you tell me?"
"Nothing. There's your father here. I'll tell you he's coming back. Why are you running around?" My mother seems to be in good spirits, but I still think she and my father are much older.
"Why are you back now?" My father asked me.
"It's okay. Take a few days off at home."
I looked at the liquid hanging on the stand and half of it had already been injected. I asked, "How many bottles?"
"This is the last bottle."
"Will you lose tomorrow?"
"Don't lose, okay."
Looking at my parents, I had mixed feelings. It was so old that I had to dye my hair once every few months to cover up my parents' white hair. I could not help but leave traces of time on my face.
I thought that when the restaurant developed, I could let my parents live a good life, but now, my wish will be delayed again.
Looking at them, there was always a feeling of shamelessness.
At my age, I haven't been filial to them yet. It's a shame to say it! It could even be said to be humiliating!
At my parents' age in the village, I was already carrying my grandchildren and enjoying my family life, but I still didn't have a girlfriend. Looking at their hopeful and regretful eyes, I could only smile bitterly and turn my head away.
It wasn't long before my mom finished the infusion and we started going home.
I didn't say much to my parents. When I got home, I just wanted to have a good sleep.
The other night, ever since baldy came to the restaurant to ask for the bill, I had not slept much on Guzheng's offer. There were too many things on my mind, and seeing my mother sick today, I felt even worse.
My parents saw that I was not in good spirits and asked me worriedly. I only said that the restaurant was too busy and a little tired, so they said they would rest when they were tired. Don't tire themselves out. Then they didn't disturb me. I went back to my room and closed the door. I didn't want to think about anything else. I lay on the bed and closed my eyes.
Perhaps it was really too tired, the tired heart, the tired body, the whole person had a feeling of collapse, so not long after I fell asleep.
But I didn't sleep easily, as if I had countless dreams while I was sleeping. Those dreams were like broken glass shards, messy and complicated, and like countless wild vines, they wrapped me tightly.
Perhaps, as in inception, time slows down in a dream. Five minutes in reality is an hour in a dream. All these dreams combined, I really felt like I had been in a trance for the rest of my life.
I dreamt of Ding Ge, dreamt of Guzheng, dreamt that I was with Guzheng, and when dinger heard that we were a couple, she looked at me as if she wanted to kill me. She hit me like crazy and scolded me, completely losing her mind.
I wanted to explain to dinger, but the promise to Guzheng made me unable to open my mouth no matter what. Ding Ge ran away, and I chased after her as hard as I could. As I watched her get further and further away from me, my heart ached. I couldn't bear it. In my dream, I seemed to explain to dinger. I told her that I wasn't with Guzheng. It was all a lie.
But no matter how I explained it, Ding Ge couldn't forgive me. The anger in her eyes made her drive me away like a madman. Her cold expression made me scared and heartbroken. My throat was like a rag, and my breathing was hard!
Such a dream, like a huge prison locked me in, it was filled with cold, lonely, dark, irritable, painful, sad, resentful, angry, desolate, desperate, hysterical roars, distorted images...
After waking up, she continued to sleep. After falling asleep, she continued to dream, like an infinite cycle!
I also dreamed about my father and my mother. In my dream, I still didn't have the chance to be filial to them. They looked at me with disappointment in their eyes, but they didn't hit me and scolded me. It made me feel worse. I didn't know how to face them. I felt as if the whole world was talking about me as an unfilial son.
I was in pain, but I didn't know who to talk to. I wanted to be filial to my parents, but it seemed that I would only disappoint them. In the dream, their white hair seemed to be more, and the wrinkles on their faces became more obvious. Seeing them grow old day by day, I felt a special fear in my heart.
I even dreamt of the scariest thing. I dreamt that my parents died suddenly, and then my whole body collapsed!
This nightmare woke me up!
Sweat all over his back!
Originally, he wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but when he woke up, he felt his whole body was hollowed out, exhausted to the extreme, and even lost the strength to think, like a weak patient who did not want to move.
When she woke up, she knew it was all a dream, but the feeling it brought was as if she had experienced it in real life, as if there was no difference.
I could only tell myself over and over again that those were dreams, calming my emotions. It took a long time to feel some strength.
After a while, my mother asked me to eat.
I looked at my phone and realized that I had slept until sunset.
I had a very uncomfortable sleep, but I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed with my tired body, washed my face, and made myself feel better. I didn't want my parents to worry too much about me.
Today, my parents made me another table of food, which was especially sumptuous.
"How can you make so much? Can you finish it?"
"Eat more. Why are you so skinny now that you're guarding the restaurant?" My mother said to me.
"I'm not skinny either." I picked up my chopsticks and picked up the food.
"How is the restaurant now?" My father asked again.
"It's good. There are a lot of people. I'm usually quite busy."
"If you can't do it, invite more people. Last time I went to see what you guys were up to, don't tire yourself out. Nothing is important!"
"I know, mom. I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"How many days are you staying at home this time?"
"Take a few days off this time, maybe a week."
My mother looked at me in doubt and asked, "Son, is something wrong with you?"
"It's okay."
"Then why did you suddenly rest for so many days?" I think I really don't go home often, so I stay at home for a long time, but my parents are not used to it.
I didn't want to tell them anything unhappy, so I smiled and replied, "Can't I go home and rest for a few more days?"
"Are you really okay?" My mother asked again.
"Nothing. If you don't believe me, go back to the hotel and see. Business is still good."
"Well, it's fine."
Looking at the loving eyes of my parents, I felt a little uncomfortable. The whole meal was filled with their love. How could I let my troubles bother them?
I said to the two of them, "Don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself. Take care of yourself."
"Hey, what can we do? Okay."
I asked my mother again, "When can I live in that house in the neighborhood?"
It's not like that to live in school all the time. I really hope my parents can live in a new house soon.
"I should have been able to move in a few years ago."
"Okay, call me when you move."
"Sure."
I am relieved that they can live in a new house.
After that, we started chatting casually. My mother asked about my aunt and cousin. She was also worried about my cousin, and she said she wanted to introduce her to me. Thinking about my cousin's reaction last time, I told my mother that it was better to postpone this matter and let her slow down.
My mother sighed, too. Our generation is not doing so well, and she's not feeling well as an elder.
Two cousins, one still in prison and the other far away in the united states. My cousin is divorced now, and I am still in a difficult business, not even a girlfriend.
Not to mention my mother, even when I see other people's family reunited, the husband and wife are harmonious, the old people are healthy, and their children are in pairs, my heart will also be particularly envious.
As parents, they also hope that their children can become the dragon and phoenix among the people, but what they want more is to see their children healthy and happy.
As for us, we are always busy and can't seem to go home several times a year. As parents, they expect us to go home, but they dare not nag and are afraid to disturb us. In fact, they really didn't want much, but just to be able to sit together as a family.
