growing up

Chapter 46

He didn't know how long Gu Yuan would sleep, the noise of running at home was too loud, and Ling Chao didn't want to go downstairs, so he could only play with dumbbells next door to pass the time.

Gu Yuan didn't wake up until almost eight o'clock.At first, he didn't know where he was. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar room, his thoughts came back and he remembered that he slept at Ling Chao's house last night.It's just that there is no one around, but there are traces of someone sleeping.

It must have been early.

Gu Yuan went out to search around, but did not see Ling Chao, so early, where did this person go?

Just as he was about to get his mobile phone to make a call, Gu Yuan heard the sound of a key turning at the door.

Ling Chao came in with a few bags of breakfast, the two of them stared blankly at each other, but Ling Chao reacted immediately.

"You're awake, I'm going to buy breakfast." Ling Chao said to Gu Yuan while shaking his hands.

"En." Gu Yuan responded softly, and took it for Ling Chao.

When Gu Yuan washed up and sat down at the table to have breakfast with Ling Chao, Ling Chao asked, "Shall we make something to eat at home and take it to the hospital?"

"No need." Gu Yuan had a steamed dumpling in his mouth, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls: "Qingqing probably won't be able to eat today, my mother will just buy her some later."

"Okay." Ling Chao took a sip of tofu nao: "Your mother..."

"Huh?" Gu Yuan waited for a while but didn't see Ling Chao continue talking, he raised his head and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay." Ling Chao finally thought about it and didn't ask, he lowered his head and continued drinking.

"She only came back for a week." Gu Yuan's voice was a little low, but he still said very clearly: "My mother is a criminal policeman, and my father is an armed policeman, both in City W. More than a year ago, because of a case, my father was sent to support Mom and the others teamed up, but something happened in the end, and Dad died."

Ling Chao thought about many things about Gu Yuan's parents, but never thought that it would be like this.When I saw his mother for the first time yesterday, that kind of capable temperament was not what ordinary white-collar workers would have.No wonder, Interpol!This sense of responsibility that always puts work ahead of family members must be contradictory in their hearts.

When Gu Yuan said these things, there was no fluctuation, but the low voice could still be heard, he was not calm.

For loved ones, even if they are engaged in a job that everyone respects, safety should be the most important thing for them.

Ling Chao didn't know what to say, across the dining table, Gu Yuan was still eating breakfast slowly.

"Actually, I have rarely seen them these years. Whenever my sister was sick, only my grandma and I were by my side, and I felt resentful towards them more or less in my heart. Why are they so far away? Why can't they be transferred back? Give birth to us?" Gu Yuan ate slowly, and his tone was also slow: "Later, when I grew up and became sensible, I realized that in this world, only some people need sacrifices in exchange for more people's happiness. I started Study hard, take good care of my sister, and lighten their burden as much as possible. I just hope that they can come back to us."

"Why don't you go to W City?" Ling Chao asked.

"It's too far away, grandma is not used to it, and she will worry about my sister's health in a different environment. They don't have time to take care of us." Gu Yuan said: "When my father had an accident, my mother almost collapsed. She was transferred to come back to do some clerical work, but in the end she didn't agree. After going home to recuperate for less than a month, she went back again."

Ling Chao couldn't imagine how their family lived through that period. At that time, Gu Yuan should still be in junior high school, and his grandmother was a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

Listening to Gu Yuan talking about these things now, Ling Chao began to feel a little regretful, regretting that he should not have asked questions. Original.

Ling Chao wanted to go over and give him a hug. Although he looked fine on the surface, Ling Chao could feel that Gu Yuan was sad, because now his sister had undergone another operation and was still in the hospital.

But in the end he didn't move. Parents' choice of career is their right.Just like their own parents, they are so tired, busy and stressed every day, but they are also happy when they think of bringing sufficient money to their families.

The career chosen by Gu Yuan's parents must also be their ideal.Before doing it, they also have enthusiasm and hope, and they are such a special profession.As a child, more can only support.

The two had breakfast, took Gu Qingqing's change of clothes, and went to the hospital early.

The ward is a double room, and each bed is arranged with a shrinking bed to accompany the night. When they passed by, Zhang Yun was awake sitting by the bed, and the bed was folded and placed in the corner. I don’t know if he got up or didn’t sleep at all. Pass.

Gu Qingqing hadn't woken up yet, and the various instruments on both sides were still there, but the ventilator was withdrawn.The heartbeat and blood pressure are fairly stable, and it seems that the difficulties of last night have been passed.

"Mom, how is Qingqing?" Gu Yuanxian asked as soon as he entered the door.

Zhang Yun looked up and saw that it was Gu Yuan and the others, so he replied softly, "It's stable for now."

"Then you have something to eat and go back to sleep for a while." Gu Yuan handed over the steamed buns and soybean milk in his hand.

"I'm fine." Zhang Yun took the breakfast and was a little surprised to see Ling Chao following behind.This young man has been with him in the hospital since yesterday, and he came here early this morning.Although Zhang Yun seldom comes back, he still knows about his son's situation. Gu Yuan has been cold-tempered since he was a child. Not to mention friends, even the neighbors who grew up with him will not play with him. When did he have such a good relationship? friends?Yesterday, I only knew that Ling Chao was Gu Yuan's classmate, and occasionally asked me about some school matters, so I didn't ask too much.Thinking about it now, he must have something special to be friends with his son.

Seeing Zhang Yun's gaze, Ling Chao stepped forward to say hello to her: "Hello, Auntie, why don't you listen to Gu Yuan and go back to have a rest. Gu Yuan and I will take care of you in the hospital."

When Ling Chao speaks, he is gentle and humble, calm and orderly, and he knows that he is a well-educated child.Coupled with his outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, he doesn't look like a sophomore in high school at all.It is inexplicably reassuring.

"I'm fine. It's hard to come back this time. I want to spend more time with Qingqing. But you two, have you finished your homework? Why don't you all go back and do your homework, Qingqing is fine now." Zhang Yun said.

"We've finished writing. Forget it, it's all in the hospital. There's nothing else to do anyway." Gu Yuan said.

In the morning, the doctor came in and out of the ward several times, and arranged several checkups. Gu Qingqing really woke up around noon.Occasionally before, I woke up and fell asleep again after a while, without even saying a word.

"Mom, you're back." Gu Qingqing's voice was very weak, not as spirited and playful as before.

"Hmm." Zhang Yun took her hand that hadn't been needled and stroked it lightly, with distressed eyes: "Does it hurt, baby? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Gu Qingqing shook her head slowly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little tired."

Zhang Yun couldn't help but get red-eyed. Over the years, she has suffered countless injuries from the dangers she encountered at work, except for the time when her husband sacrificed her own daughter's illness to make her feel uncomfortable.Ever since she was a child, she felt particularly guilty for not being able to be with her children.But when I chose this job in the first place, I was doomed to be unable to have both.

Ling Chao and Gu Yuan stood beside Zhang Yun and looked at Gu Qingqing, Gu Qingqing also noticed them.She didn't know Ling Chao was here before, and when she saw him there, she smiled at him: "Brother, Brother Ling Chao, you are all here."

Seeing Gu Qingqing wake up, they were all very happy, Gu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't speak.Ling Chao didn't know what to say, he couldn't even say comforting words at this moment.But Gu Qingqing was able to overcome this difficulty, and he was also happy for her.

Because she couldn't eat yet, she couldn't even drink water, but Gu Qingqing's lips were obviously dry and cracked, Zhang Yun asked Gu Yuan to pour a glass of water over, and use a cotton swab to smear it on her.

The two of them spent almost the last two days of the National Day holiday in the hospital. Apart from going back to sleep, they even had three meals a day in the hospital.

Zhang Yun stayed in the hospital directly, and she couldn't bear to leave Qingqing's side in the few days of vacation.I want to do my best to take care of her at this time, and I don't know when I can come back next time.

Looking at the people around her in the ward, Gu Qingqing felt the happiness she hadn't experienced in a long time.Accompanied by her mother and two older brothers, even though she is still weak, she is in a good mood.This will also help her recovery.

Gu Qingqing is indeed recovering well, and she can eat some liquid food before the end of the holiday.The waking time is getting longer and longer, and speaking is not as difficult as before.It's just that she is still far away from being fully recovered, and the doctor told her that she still needs to rest more.

Gu Yuan was responsible for making some porridge for her every day. Although she ate very little, Gu Yuan cooked it very delicately.

Zhang Yun personally feeds her every time, taking small mouthfuls.In order to let her mother and brother not worry, she always strives to eat more.

After the holiday was over, after Gu Yuan and Ling Chao went to class, only Zhang Yun was left in the hospital to take care of her.Ling Chao asked Aunt Chen to help make some porridge every day, and added meals. After school at noon and afternoon, they went to the hospital with food boxes, and returned to school when classes were about to start.

Ling Chao wanted to wrap a red envelope for Aunt Chen alone to express his gratitude, but Aunt Chen refused to accept anything.At the beginning, Ling Chao's father paid a high salary, and he didn't have much work except cooking and cleaning the house.Ling Chao himself is relatively self-disciplined, and the house never makes a mess.Most of the clothes that are changed every day will be washed in the washing machine by themselves.He is polite and always polite to Aunt Chen. Now that he heard that his friend was in trouble and wanted to help him, he was naturally willing to help him.In the end, Ling Chao had no choice but to make an agreement with his father to give Aunt Chen a little more money when he was paid.
