Fang Zhiqiang shed tears while driving, and the scenes in his mind were all the scenes from the past: when he was young and no one took care of him, his father would carry him to the fields, put him on the ridge of the field, and catch a grasshopper. Give him a few straws to play with. Every time he looked up, he could always see his father and mother busy working. Later, the figure became increasingly rickety, all because of him. He was the heaviest burden to his parents but he had no regrets. When the harvest was harvested, my father carried two loads of rice and went to the town to exchange money. He went back and forth, the heavy pole trembling in his direction, and his voice seemed to be shaking, but his father never Don't forget to bring him a few candies or a new homework book when you come back. On the day he was admitted to college, my father was so happy that he set up several tables of wine and invited all the relatives and friends from the countryside to his home to celebrate. Everyone told everyone that my son had a promising future. I will become a high official in the future...

Those past memories stung Fang Zhiqiang’s heart over and over again, making him unable to control himself, going crazy, and just wanted to go as fast as possible , rushed back to his father.

Then Fang Zhiqiang’s phone rang. Now every ringtone makes his heart beat with fear. He is worried that it is Brother Lin calling. He is looking forward to a call from Brother Lin, but he is also afraid that it is Brother Lin. It was a call because he didn't know whether it would be good news or bad news.

Fortunately, the call was not from Brother Lin, but from Bi Luochun. Fang Zhiqiang felt slightly relieved: It was not Brother Lin, which means that at least his father's condition has not worsened. I just didn't know why Bi Luochun called at this time. Fang Zhiqiang thought about it and picked up the phone.

Bi Luochun's voice was very anxious: "Qiangzi, where are you?"

"I'm on the way, and I haven't had time to tell you yet. I have something to go back to my hometown. Recently, I'm not in Shanghai. If you have anything..."

Before Fang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bi Luochun: "I know that uncle is sick. Liu Yan came up to talk to me just now. She said it. She was worried about your situation and knew that you were anxious to get home, but she was afraid that you were driving late at night and it would be unsafe to go back alone, so she came over and asked me to go back with you. I am in the taxi now. I went to look for you, where have you been?"

Fang Zhiqiang was stunned, and after realizing it, he was very touched by Liu Yan and Bi Luochun's concern for him. "No need, Lao Bi, I'm fine. I'm calm and sober now. It's okay to go back alone. If you stay here, you still have work and other things..."

Bi Luochun directly Interrupted him: "Qiangzi, it belongs to brothers, not to mother-in-law and mother. Please tell me where you are now." After saying this, he was stunned for a moment, and his voice was a little low: "I know I am not worthy of being your brother now, but you You can't let me do nothing for you. You have helped me so much, I should repay you a little. Besides, uncle's condition requires multiple people and helpers. Hurry up, the master keeps asking me where I am going, I can't be alone strengthThe light is wandering here. "

Fang Zhiqiang knew that Bi Luochun was telling the truth. He was indeed very emotionally unstable now, and the way back was too far and too long. It would be much better to have someone to help him and take turns driving. , so he asked Bi Luochun’s location and told him to ask the taxi driver to drive forward to an intersection and they would meet there.

When he drove the car to that intersection, Bi Luochun He was already waiting, carrying a big bag. Fang Zhiqiang took a look and saw that it was filled with cigarettes, Red Bull, canned coffee, instant noodles, biscuits and water. It was obvious that he was ready to drive a long distance. Fang Zhiqiang I didn’t know what to say, so I finally nodded: “Thank you, Lao Bi. "

Bi Luochun directly asked him to sit in the passenger seat and drive by himself: "Why are you so polite? Uncle is like this. If you know the news, you should tell me quickly. We should all get on the highway now. Qiangzi, I may not be able to help with other things, but for our previous friendship and for you to my parents... uncle, I also regard him as my father. You shouldn't hide this kind of thing from me. It is his responsibility to take care of him with you. This is also my intention. "

Bi Luochun spoke very sincerely, and it was obvious that he was not lying or deceiving Fang Zhiqiang. Fang Zhiqiang was very moved. At this time, what he needed most was actually someone. Spend time with him by your side. Although Bi Luochun is not the person he wants to accompany him in his mind, his thoughts still make Fang Zhiqiang very emotional.

"You should sleep for a while first , we take turns driving. "Bi Luochun said to Fang Zhiqiang. "Don't worry too much. The old man is old and sometimes there will be problems with his body function. It will be fine if he takes care of himself slowly. ”

However, in fact, Fang Zhiqiang could not sleep because his father’s condition kept him worried. He kept smoking along the way, and in the second half of the night , Bi Luochun took a nap, and he continued to drive. Then the two of them took turns in this way.

At dawn, Brother Lin called and said that the hospital had confirmed the diagnosis, and Fang Zhi Qiang's father suffered from gastric ulcer, which caused perforation and blood vomiting caused by blood vessel rupture. The situation has been controlled and he is still hospitalized for further observation.

At this time, Fang Zhiqiang can finally let go. He let out a long breath.

Because this time the matter was urgent, Fang Zhiqiang was in a hurry to get home, and Bi Luochun and Fang Zhiqiang were both veterans, not as timid as Li Xiaoxiao, so they drove They were all very fast and stable. This time, they arrived at the county hospital within ten hours. For more than ten hours, except for going to the toilet, the two of them basically never got out of the car, nor did they sleep a wink, nor even ate anything. , couldn't eat anymore, so he relied on cigarettes and Red Bull to stay awake. And Bi Luochun accompanied him all the way. Fortunately, Bi Luochun was there. Otherwise, Fang Zhiqiang would really not know what would happen if he was alone. other things.

When he arrived at the hospital, Fang Zhiqiang couldn't wait to get out of the car. While calling Brother Dalin, he asked about the ward. Together with Bi Luochun, he hurried up and found the ward where his father was.

"Qiangzi! You are back, you must be tired from the journey." Brother Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming, and greeted him quickly. Auntie was also nearby. When she saw Fang Zhiqiang, she nodded to him.

"Thank you, Brother Dalin." Fang Zhiqiang was not in the mood to say hello, so he called his aunt again. When he saw his father lying on the hospital bed with a breathing tube and a drip, his heart skipped a beat. Feeling the pain, he quickly walked over and called: "Dad."

Hearing his voice, Fang Zhiqiang's father opened his eyes and said with great effort and weakness: "Why are you back? This Dalin, I said it was okay and asked him not to tell you, why did he call again? You are so busy, why don't you come all the way back? You must have been driving all night, right? It looks like you have been out of shape, What is this picture of? I'm fine." As soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but want to cough.
