Over the mountain is the sea

Chapter 42
At the door of the intensive care unit, Liang Zhongming saw Feng Yi who was already waiting there. He quickened his pace and ran over staggeringly.

Under the plain white quilt lay the old and thin father. His eyes were closed tightly, and his expression of sorrow was the same as usual. Liang Zhongming frowned, feeling strangely sad in his heart.

"Have you met Dr. Xiao?" Feng Yi asked softly from the side.

Liang Zhongming nodded, and Feng Yisui fell silent. Dr. Xiao must have said everything he needed to say, and he didn't need to repeat those cruel words.

Standing quietly in front of his father's bed for a moment, Liang Zhongming thought to ask: "Where are Xu Dong and Zhiyuan? When will they come?"

Feng Yi hesitated, hesitating, "I informed Old Zheng as soon as I got the news last night..."

Liang Zhongming saw that he was slow to speak, and his sharp eyes swept towards him unconsciously. Feng Yi coughed twice before continuing: "What Lao Zheng means is that Director Xu didn't say he would come. As for the second son... "

As soon as Liang Zhongming heard that his mother would not come, he immediately clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Zhiyuan?!"

"...Xu Dong...don't let him come...for fear of irritating him..." Even though he said it softly, Feng Yi's tone couldn't hide his indignation.

Liang Zhongming trembled all over, gritted his teeth and murmured, "She hates him so much! He's about to die, and she just..." He couldn't continue speaking in pain.

The patient on the bed made a slight noise, Feng Yi was startled, stopped Liang Zhongming in time, and rang the bell again to call the nurse, but there was no progress, the patient only had a slight adjustment in breathing.

Feng Yi led Liang Zhongming to the lawn outside the hospital. This place is actually a nursing home with a very good environment.

The two sat down on the bench in the open air, lit a cigarette each, and smoked silently, just like when they encountered difficulties many years ago, to calm their minds.

After a long time, Liang Zhongming regained his composure, and said in a muffled voice, "You find a way to get Zhiyuan out."

Feng Yi was very embarrassed, "I'm afraid...you know that Xu Dong is very strict with him."

Liang Zhongming said categorically: "I don't care what method you use, in short, you must let Zhiyuan come back!" He lowered his head, and his expression fell into a haze again, "After all, he is father's biological son, can't he even die? !"

Feng Yi looked solemn, thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay!"

Liang Zhongming raised his head and looked ahead. Gradually, hatred piled up in his eyes. Feng Yi, who was sitting next to him, did not miss the slightest change in his expression. Joy flashed in his heart. He knew that Liang Zhongming was finally irritated.

Throughout the day, my father's condition was unstable, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and when he was awake, he would struggle to grab Liang Zhongming's hand and ask Zhiyuan's whereabouts.

Liang Zhongming felt sad, so he could only comfort him repeatedly, telling him that Zhiyuan would come over soon.

The old man's eyes occasionally fell to the door with anticipation, and Liang Zhongming read out another meaning. He knew that his father was still waiting for her, for that unreasonable and cruel woman.

His heart throbbed, but he could not tell his father not to wait, because she would never come.

On a night when the moon was scarce, Yi Nan curled up on the bed alone and lost his mind.She has been at home for two full weeks.

After Liang Zhongming left, she went home directly without staying in Miyun.As soon as grandma saw her, she yelled distressedly: "Oh, Xiao Nan, why are you so thin?"

Yi Nan's tears were about to fall, she opened her arms and hugged grandma tightly, sobbing on her shoulder, "Grandma!"

She is like a tired bird, longing for the arms of her loved ones so much.

Yi Nan didn't dare to tell her grandparents about her resignation. She just said that she had asked for leave to come back to see them. "Unemployment" is a serious matter for people of their age, which means losing their jobs. She didn't want them to Worry about your own business.

Grandma cooked a table of delicious food, and the family of three reunited at that old dining table again. Such a scene has not happened for a long time.

Grandpa's health is not as good as before, and walking a few steps is exhausting. Yi Nan is very worried about him, asking him several times about taking medicine and seeing a doctor, and persuading him to worry less about farm work. Grandpa didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "When you get old, you should move more, otherwise your whole body will be weak. You, don't stare at me all the time. It's your grandma who complained of stomach pain a while ago, but she refused to ask her to check. She said don't keep eating overnight meals, but she just doesn't listen."

Grandma listened to it, and couldn't help arguing with grandpa, "I'm an old man, and I still like to chew my tongue." Then she said to the nervous Yinan: "I'm fine, don't listen to his nonsense, you should persuade him Quit smoking."

"Haha, quit smoking? Then what is the fun of my life? I won't do it!"

Yi Nan listened to the two old men fighting back and forth, but they were all smiling, without any smell of smoke and fire. He couldn't help but think of the old saying "young couples come to accompany each other", and there was still a gloomy expression on his face. With a warm smile.

That night, Yinan remembered Liang Zhongming's instructions before he left, and after thinking about it, he still called him to tell him that he was home.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. She was a little disappointed, but she didn't call again.

Although life in the country is dull, it passes quickly like a trickle.There are too many familiar marks here, which made her feel at ease, and her restless heart gradually calmed down, and she no longer cares so much about gains and losses.Perhaps it is because of a certain distance that they can see clearly.

Liang Zhongming called her once, on the third day after she returned home.

Although his tone was soft, Yi Nan could still feel that he was in a bad mood, his voice sounded extremely hoarse, as if he hadn't slept well for a few days, and he didn't have any unnecessary gossip. He just asked her about her condition and heard that she was already at home , then relieved.He didn't tell Yi Nan the reason for his hasty departure, and she didn't ask either. No matter how much she loved him, she knew that she shouldn't get involved in his life. She and him were like two independent ripples on the water. The circles of ripples that formed finally collided, but the two points in the center would never blend.

He said that he was just walking with her for a while, and every step he took towards her was gentle, gradual and restrained, but the more so, the better she felt about him, and the harder it was for him to feel Letting go is like entering a deadlock.

She sighed wistfully at the night sky, looked at the mobile phone on the table, picked it up, hesitated, there was a certain longing in her heart, wanted to hear his voice, dialed half of the key, but still held back.He may be socializing, or he may be at home, and there must be some kind of inconvenience.

Yi Nan thought for a while, and then sent him a text message, a few words, nothing more than a few ordinary greetings, only she knew, every word seemed to fly directly from her heart.
