The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 344, wait for me

"Is school on holiday?" After coming out of the kitchen, Zhang Hui sat down on the sofa outside.

"Yeah, it's three days off." On New Year's Day, when school was on holiday for three days, Zhang Yao ran to his brother's place because he didn't want to go home. Tired and waiting, he asked, "Brother, did you guys just come back today?"

"Well, I just got back." Zhang Hui stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. Maybe he hasn't rested in this period of time, and now he feels his brain hurts a lot.

"Brother, how are things going at Uncle's house?" Zhang Yao is a sophomore this year. He usually lives on campus and only goes home during holidays.He knew about the divorce between his parents, and his mother was so angry that she was hospitalized. It would be impossible for him not to blame his own father.

Now every time he goes home, his grandparents will hear that if his father divorces his mother and let him stay with his father, Zhang Yao will be very annoyed.If his parents really divorced, he wanted to be with his brother, and he would go wherever his brother went. Of course, he didn't tell his family about this.

However, he knew a little about what happened to his uncle's house, but he didn't know the specific situation very well.This time, the eldest brother also went to Jiangcheng to help his cousin deal with it, so he stayed here in the capital and did not go with him.

"It's okay. Have you ever been to the hospital with your mother?" Zhang Hui came back late today, so he didn't go to the hospital to see his mother, thinking about going there tomorrow.

"I've been there. I just went today. I just came back from my mother's place tonight. She didn't let me spend the night with her in the hospital and drove me back." Zhang Yao mentioned his mother's stay in the hospital.

Zhang Hui hummed, and instructed his younger brother to pour water for him, "Go to the kitchen to see if the hot hands are ready, pour hot water into the kettle, and pour us two glasses of water by the way."

"Oh." Zhang Yao glanced back, got up from the sofa he was sitting on, and went to the kitchen.

"You'll sleep here tonight, and we'll deal with it tomorrow if you have anything to do." Zhang Hui raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing hummed and said "OK."

"I'm going to take a shower and rest. Your room is at the end of the corridor. If you need anything, ask Ayao to get it." Zhang Hui stood up, took the water brought by his brother, and took it to his bedroom Go in, "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, you guys go to bed early too."

"Okay, okay..." Zhang Yao still had a cup of hot water in his hand, and he watched his brother leave with a cup of hot water in a daze.

I gave the remaining cup of hot water to my cousin, found the remote control thrown on the table, turned off the TV, raised my hand and patted my cousin on the shoulder, he didn't know how to comfort my cousin, it took a long time to squeeze Say, "It's going to be fine."

"Yeah." Zhou Xing looked at his little cousin and smiled. The two of them sat on the sofa, and neither of them spoke for a while.

When he came out of the shower and saw the cell phone thrown on the bed, Zhou Xing opened the door and went out. He asked his little cousin to borrow a cell phone charger and came back to charge the cell phone that was dead and turned off. boot up.

Water was still dripping from the tip of his hair, and he didn't find a towel to dry it off. He sat on the bed and turned on his phone. As soon as he turned it on, countless missed calls and text messages popped up.

After pressing the button a few times, he found the message Qiao Minglang sent him. The last text message was two days ago, asking him where he was and if he was back.Among them were some text messages from the dormitory roommates, some asking when he would return to school, and some asking if he was going to drop out of school...

His eyes stayed on that text message for a while, the more he got to this time, the more he didn't know how to tell the young man about him, and he couldn't help feeling bored.

Putting the phone on the bed, Zhou Xing collapsed on the bed a little slumped, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, since the accident at his home until now, his mind has only calmed down to think about his own affairs, about him and the boy... …

He really didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what kind of future he could give the boy...

***

The next morning, the three brothers got up. Zhou Xing went downstairs to buy breakfast. The three of them ate breakfast together and drove to the hospital.

On the way there, Zhou Xingcai learned from his cousin that his aunt's disease is terminal breast cancer, which can only be treated in the hospital and can only be controlled with drugs, and the hope of a cure is not great.When he heard that his aunt had this disease, Zhou Xing only felt his mind go blank, his mouth opened, and it took him a while to find his voice, "How could this be?"

He heard from his cousin that his aunt was hospitalized the day before yesterday, and he thought it was a minor illness. He never thought that his relatives would suffer from such an illness.

Cancer... When I hear this word, I feel chills in my heart...

"Hey, don't cry." Looking at his cousin's appearance, Zhang Yao was really afraid that his cousin would cry, so he took a tissue from the box next to him and prepared it for him. Wipe away tears.

In fact, Zhang Yao couldn't help crying when he heard the news, but now that he has accepted the fact and knew that crying is useless, they can only face it positively, "We learned from the doctor that It was hard to believe when I found out the results of the test. My mother is such a good person, how did she get such a disease? God really has no eyes. Why is it that the bad guys are not punished, but the good guys go first..."

"However, things are already like this. We have no other choice but to accept and face it. We asked the doctor, and the doctor also said that this disease is not completely hopeless. If the treatment is active and the treatment effect is good, Maybe she can live another three to five years... or even another ten or eight years. Isn't it said that someone with cancer can live to eighty or ninety? Maybe she can live to ninety or more than a hundred .”

Zhang Hui, who was driving in front, had no expression on his face, and when he heard his younger brother talking behind him, he didn't talk to him either.

The car drove downstairs to the hospital and let the two boys behind get out of the car. Zhang Hui drove the car to the parking lot to put it away. Seeing the two boys still standing at the door waiting for him, the three of them went up to the ward of the inpatient department together.

When I saw a woman wearing a hospital gown, the woman who used to be elegantly dressed turned into a haggard look, with all her beautiful curly hair gone, and a white woolen hat on her head, The eyes that looked at him were still full of distress and kindness.Zhou Xing's throat rolled, his eyes felt a little hot, and he called out "Big Auntie."

"Hey, Ah Xing and your brother are back, aren't they? Let the big aunt give you a hug." Zhou Xin's eyes turned red when she saw her nephew who came with her two sons.Zhou walked over, let the woman who loved him hug him into her arms, and shouted hoarsely, "Big aunt."

When she learned about what happened in Jiangcheng, Zhou Xin shed tears several times and couldn't sleep or eat. If the doctor at the hospital didn't allow her to leave the hospital, she would have packed her things and rushed to Jiangcheng.

"Big aunt was not able to stay by your side, don't blame big aunt." Holding this nephew who was taller than her, Zhou Xin sighed in her heart. manly.

Zhou Xing shook his head, a little speechless, "I don't blame my aunt, I also want to thank my aunt for asking my cousin to help me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do by myself."

"Mom, you hug your nephew like this in front of me and brother, disregarding your two sons, it's a bit too much." Seeing his mother crying while holding his cousin, Zhang Yao became jealous , to express the imbalance in my heart.

"You can't just hug Ah Xing, you have to hug your two sons as well."

What the younger son said made Zhou Xin laugh. She let go of her nephew, opened her hands to the younger son, and said with a cry and a smile, "Come, come, mommy hugs you."

"That's right, it's almost like this." Zhang Yao hugged his mother shamelessly, and said, "Isn't there a saying that rain and dew should be evenly wet?"

"Return the rain and dew? I think you are in a bad way." Zhou Xin couldn't help but raised her hand and slapped the youngest son on the head, let him go, and found an excuse to send the youngest son to wash it for her. Guo Guo, asked the eldest son to sit down on the chair beside the bed, and asked how things were going in Jiangcheng.

Zhang Hui sat down, and only picked out some things that could be said to explain to his mother, but he didn't say clearly about some specific situations.

They stayed in the hospital for half a day, during which doctors and nurses came to round the ward, and the nurses pushed the carts and took the needles and water to hang up the patients in the ward.

After the doctor finished the ward rounds, his eldest cousin went to work first if he had something to do.

Zhou Xing and his little cousin accompanied his aunt to hang the water in the ward, and took a little time to go outside the corridor, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number.

The phone rang twice, and the person on the other end connected the call.

"Hello?" As soon as the phone in his pocket rang, Qiao Minglang saw the caller's number and connected immediately.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak, but he knew who was calling him. He asked calmly, "Ah Xing, is that you? Where are you?"

"It's me, I'm back in the capital." The person on the other end of the phone said.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go back and find you."

When he heard that Zhou Xing took the initiative to call him, Qiao Minglang was inexplicably relieved.

Since the day he lost contact with Zhou Xing, he was worried and anxious all the time, especially after returning to Jiangcheng and knowing what happened to the Zhou Group, he was even more worried about that person.

Fortunately, that person knew to take the initiative to contact him.

The two didn't speak for a long time before ending the call.

Originally, he planned to go back home, but now it seemed that he didn't have much time to go home. It happened that his big brother was in the store, so Qiao Minglang went to find his big brother and said he wanted to go back to the capital.

"Are you going back so soon? Didn't you say you want to go home?" Qiao Mingshan was a little surprised when he heard that his little cousin said he was going back to school so soon.

"Well, I have something to rush back, so I won't go home for the time being, and I'll be back when the school is on holiday next month." Qiao Minglang didn't tell his cousins ​​what happened at Zhou Xing's house.Maybe Zhou Xing didn't want too many people to know about it, so he didn't say it, so as not to make everyone worry.

Since he contacted Zhou Xing, he wanted to rush back to see him.

"Oh, that's it. Since we have something to do, let's go back. Do we want to go back by train or by plane?"

"Take a plane, it will be faster."

Seeing that his cousin really had something to go back to, Qiao Mingshan had no choice but to drive his cousin to the airport.

Seeing that the child had bought a ticket and checked in, he turned around and left.
