It turns out that the person I love has always been there

Recently, Lu's mother has been in a bad mood. She used to go to bed at 21 o'clock, but now she can't fall asleep until midnight. She wakes up suddenly in the early hours of the morning, and then turns on the TV until dawn.

Mother Lu prepared breakfast in the morning, her expression was a little pale, Zhao Qiaoan talked to her, and Mother Lu returned a little absent-minded.

"Auntie, are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Qiaoan asked worriedly.

Mother Lu raised her head and smiled at him reassuringly: "No, I just didn't sleep well and my spirits are low. Eat quickly, don't you guys have a quiz in the morning?"

"Well, tell me if you're not feeling well, and I'll accompany you to the hospital for a look."

"Okay, put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, I'll clean them up, don't move."

"It's okay, it's time."

Zhao Qiaoan put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink, washed them, put them in the cupboard, carried her schoolbag, ran downstairs and rode a bicycle to school.

Mother Lu had no class in the first and second quarters in the morning. After Zhao Qiaoan left, she absent-mindedly cleaned up the dining table, put all unfinished dishes in the refrigerator, and put the rest of the dishes in the sink.

There were bowls and chopsticks on top of the plate, Mother Lu lost her grip when she put it in the pool, and the bowl and chopsticks fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. She let out a low cry in fright, and the plate hit the water, splashing her all over.

Somewhat discouraged, she picked up the broom to sweep up the debris, washed the dishes, went back to the house and changed her clothes before going out.

This day was the day when Xiao Yan, the squad leader of the Ji'an detachment, went to the funeral. Lu Li, Gao Ge, Qian Qian, and Wei Jin went to the funeral home to see him off for the last time.

The funeral parlor set up a simple mourning hall. Xiao Yan's widow received the mourning guests with a haggard complexion. His parents, whose hair had grown gray in the past few days, looked at his photo and wept.

Lu Li and the others placed flowers in front of the mourning hall and bowed to the two elders.The members of the Ji'an detachment were also there. Lu Li and the others greeted them and stood aside to help. Lu Li pulled the Ji'an detachment instructor aside.

"This is the wish of some of us. When the time comes, you will hand it over to Xiao Yan's parents. Don't refuse. This is all we can do." Lu Li handed him a bank card.

Xiao Yan's family is not very rich, and the detachment he is in also knows about his family situation. The team members spontaneously donated part of the money to his widow. Although the state also provides a certain amount of compensation, they have been brothers who have lived through life and death for so many years. , no matter how much I want to contribute.

"Then I'll accept it for him, thank you." The captain of the Ji'an detachment took the bank card, smiled gratefully at him, and then turned his eyes to the mother and child. The child was only three years old, and he was not yet sensible. The adult cried He could only follow closely behind his mother, and no one explained to him what was going on, so he could only hold his mother's hand tightly.

"It should all be."

Qian Qian and the others held the little boy's hand to tease him. The little boy was a bit skeptical and stood still beside his mother, so they couldn't force him.

Lu Li stepped forward and shook his hand, and said softly, "Can you tell Uncle, what's your name?"

Seeing that he was too shy, her mother patted him on the back lightly: "These uncles are all my father's colleagues."

"My...name is Xiao...di." The little boy murmured after hearing what his mother said.

Lu Li took him aside, squatted down, and sat him on his lap.

The little boy let go of his guard, and was half-wrapped in Lu Li's arms. He raised his head and asked him, "Uncle, will daddy come back? Mom said daddy went to a far away place, did you go to that place too? Then when will daddy come back. "

"Dad is going to go for a long time. You may not come back until you grow up. Usually, you will not see Dad for a long time. During this time, you have to work hard to take good care of your mother."

"Well, usually my father is not at home, there are only me and my mother, and I can help my mother with things."

"Hey, you're a little man. Dad will definitely praise you if he knows."

"Um"

Lu Li held Xiao Di in his arms. The group of them wanted to take Xiao Yan's ashes back to his hometown in Province C for burial. Lu Li and the others had no choice but to send them to the station.

Lu Li and his group escorted them into the station with their children in their arms. The others said goodbye to the two elderly people. The captain of the Ji'an detachment handed over the bank card to Xiao Yan's wife. Everyone entered the station and watched them get into the car before they dispersed. go.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Mother Lu just finished the test paper of yesterday's quiz, and class was dismissed on time. For senior three, the teacher had to postpone each class until the next class, but Mother Lu's math class was always on time.

After a math class, everyone was dizzy, and Mother Lu's punctual dismissal of get out of class undoubtedly lifted everyone's spirits. Everyone either sat in their seats to rest, or went to the toilet together, or looked around to show off in the classroom next door that hadn't finished yet.

The teacher's office is on the third floor. Mother Lu packed up the textbooks, left the classroom and went downstairs, smiling with the students who greeted her.

Lu's mother was thinking about the afternoon class, she was in a daze, she didn't pay attention to her feet, she stepped on the ground and fell down.

"Ah, Teacher Zhao, are you okay?"

"Come here and help."

"Should I call an ambulance?"

The students passing by rushed to come up to help others, and the students outside heard someone fall, and urgently asked for an ambulance if they didn't know the situation.

Mother Lu hurriedly stopped them and stood up leaning on the person who supported her. Fortunately, there were only a few flights of stairs away, and she was not seriously injured, but her right foot was sprained, and her tailbone was slightly injured.

"It's okay, don't call an ambulance, you all go back to class, I'll go to the infirmary."

"Ms. Zhao, let me take you to the infirmary, there is no way for you to leave like this."

"Then trouble you, everyone else go back to the classroom first."

The school doctor rubbed her with wine, and the students who sent her to the infirmary had already returned to the classroom.

"Ms. Zhao, you need to stand less recently, and rub the medicine oil every day to reduce swelling." Her ankles were already a little red and swollen.

"Okay, thank you."

"Is there medicinal wine at home?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

"Okay, I'll take you out. If you don't have class in the afternoon, go back and have a good rest. Is there anyone at home to pick you up?"

"It's okay, just walk lightly with your right foot, and you can do your work."

"It's fine now, I'll take you there." The school doctor reached out to help her, the door of the infirmary was opened, and Zhao Qiaoan hurried over with Ding Xuan when he heard the news.

Zhao Qiaoan was a little uneasy in the morning, and was startled when she heard the news. The two surrounded her, and Zhao Qiaoan asked eagerly, "Auntie, are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital."

"Ms. Zhao, are you okay, is it serious?"

"Why are you here, the class has already rang, and my side is ready, so hurry up and go to class."

"I asked for leave with the teacher." Ding Xuan saw him running out, so he followed him because he was worried. You went back to class first, Zhao Qiaoan said to her: "You go back to class first, I will go back and tell you what's going on here."

"Well, I'll go back first. If there's anything I need to call, Teacher Zhao, I'll leave first." She didn't ask for leave from the classroom teacher, and she had already missed half of the class when she came here.

"Go ahead, thank you."

When the school doctor saw someone coming, he went back to the infirmary first.

Zhao Qiaoan stepped forward to support Lu's mother, "When I came over, I sent a message to my elder brother about this matter, and my elder brother said that he will come to pick you up to the hospital later."

"I have nothing to do. He is so busy. Don't distract him with such trivial matters."

"Brother probably didn't call the police today. I sent him a message and got a reply right away, and I heard from other people that it was serious. If I didn't tell my brother, he would beat me up when he knew it. It's better to be scolded by you than to be beaten by him." " Zhao Qiaoan knew that Lu's mother didn't want his elder brother to worry, but his elder brother reminded him that no matter what happened at home, he must be told as soon as possible, let alone Lu's mother's affairs.

Zhao Qiaoan helped her to the teacher's office, and other teachers came to greet her when they knew about it, and some teachers even took the initiative to replace her in the afternoon class.

After Lu Li and the others finished seeing off Xiao Yan's parents and wife, the group was about to return to the team. When they received Zhao Qiaoan's news, they immediately asked for leave, separated from the others, and took a taxi to the school.

When they arrived at the school, Zhao Qiaoan received a message to pick him up at the school gate. He brought Lu Li to the office. When Lu Li came over, he didn't have anything to do. Lu Li asked him to go back to class first.

"That's all right, brother, I went to class, went to the hospital to see how it is, and tell me."

"Well, let's go."

The two parted ways at the classroom door, and Lu Li knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mom" Lu Li stepped forward and knelt down to see how her feet were.

Lu's mother moved her foot and didn't let him touch it, "It's okay, I've applied the medicated oil, don't look here."

"Lu Li is here, just in time to take Mr. Zhao back to rest. Mr. Zhao has already arranged for other teachers to help substitute for Mr. Zhao's class in the afternoon." The other teachers are all familiar with him, and some of them have even taken him with them, so it is not surprising to see him.

"Well, thank you Teacher Sun, then I will take my mother back first."

Lu Li took Mother Lu away, Lu Li supported Mother Lu's shoulders, half-wrapped Mother in his arms, and moved carefully following Mother Lu's pace. Mother Lu was tall but thin, and she was a beautiful girl when she was young, even if she was over half a year old. Bai, still elegant and elegant.

But Lu Li looked down at his mother, who had a little white hair mixed in. When he was a child, his mother held him in her arms, but now he is much taller than his mother, and can easily hold her in his arms. At this moment, he was very clearly aware of his mother. old.

"Mom, let's go to the hospital first to take a film. I took two days off and I will stay at home to take care of you."

Lu's mother scolded: "I'm not serious, don't make a fuss, go and do your work, don't ask for leave casually."

"Why don't you call it serious, it hurts a lot if you fall, and it's easy to hurt your bones. Comrade Zhao, you have to let me be filial, or my father will know me and scold me to death."

"Nonsense, when did your father scold you?"

"Well, you scolded me in your dreams."

Mother Lu was amused by him, and gave him a light hammer.

The two went to the No. [-] Hospital, the doctor who checked him last time.

"Doctor Ruan, please excuse me."

"Sure, you're welcome."

Lu Li waited on the bench outside the department for a while, the door opened, and Lu Li stepped forward to support Mother Lu.

Dr. Ruan asked the two to sit in his office and wait for the film to come out.

"It's nothing serious, and I didn't hurt my bones. It's good to go back and apply heat to my feet or rub it with medicinal wine to reduce swelling, but I still need to pay more attention."

"Thank you, Dr. Ruan, let's go now."

Lu Li was relieved that nothing was wrong, he took his mother home first, then went to the supermarket to buy groceries, and the two had dinner at home at noon.

Lu Li was at home, Mother Lu was in a good mood, and her spirits improved a lot. The TV in the living room was on, and it happened to be broadcasting the report on the fire on Jiaozhou Road and the situation of the victims.

When Mother Lu saw the sacrificed firefighter covered in a white cloth, she felt a little depressed, "How sad the family must be to die at such a young age. Do you know the sacrificed firefighter?"

"I know, today everyone went to see him off for the last time, and his family took him back to his hometown for burial."

"Aren't you a local? Otherwise, their family can help out anytime in the future."

"His hometown is Province C. We and his teammates pooled some money to express our love to his family."

"That's the way to go."

Lu's mother didn't continue this topic. After finishing the meal quietly, Lu Li packed up the dishes and took her back to her room for a lunch break. Afterwards, she sat alone on the sofa in the living room, looking at the photo of her father in the living room and meditating for a long time.
