How to Build a Harmonious Family

A short beep sounded, and the phone was hung up.

Ning Shen gripped the phone tightly, stared blankly at the screen for a few seconds, and then turned it off.

Yesterday, he led a team with his colleagues and led the kindergarten children to a plant planting base in the suburbs for an autumn tour. On the way back, he received a call from Yin Luxiao.Although the phone call was hung up midway because of Yin Luxiao's temper, and the two of them didn't say a few words, but Ning Shen had a premonition that Yin Luxiao would not suddenly come to ask for no reason. Zhu Juan's matter, so he called Xia Junyan again at night, but no one answered.

Because of the special nature of his profession, Xia Junyan is always on standby as long as he is awake. There are usually two situations for him not answering the phone: first, he is undergoing surgery or emergency treatment; second, he is with her boyfriend.

The reason why the word "accompany" is used is because Ning Shen is not willing to think about what Xia Junyan is doing with those two people.

It's been several years since Xia Junyan and Yin Luxiao started dating, but he still can't get used to it. Thinking that when he called, Xia Junyan was probably being possessed by another man, Ning Shen couldn't help but began to hate the man who made Xia Junyan Pushing myself away from my side.

But up to now, the water has been overwhelmed, and in the final analysis, it is his own fault.

Ning Shen loosened his clenched fist, looked at the sunken marks left by his nails deep into his palm, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

He is indeed a selfish and greedy person. While he is tired of taking care of Xia Junyan's flawed personality and pushing people away, he also wants to continue to occupy the most important position in Xia Junyan's heart, unwilling to withdraw from Xia Junyan's life.After so many years of delay in confessing to Xia Junyan, the reason is that she does not want to share her lover with others, and is also afraid that after she reluctantly accepts it, the ugly jealousy will burn Xia Junyan.In the end, it turned out to be such a ghost.

It's so funny...

Ning Shen stood at the exit of the passageway, and the draft wind passed by, making him a little calmer.He climbed up the steps and walked towards the entrance of the subway station.

From this stop to the opposite bank of the Fujiang River, take the [-]-stop bus, and then transfer to the bus for two stops, which is the Fucheng General Psychiatric Hospital.Today is Sunday, and many family members went to the hospital to visit the patients, and all the seats in the bus were full.Ning Shen was sitting in the last row, and wanted to take a rest in the car, but the car was driving too fast, and soon he opened his eyes again.

Sitting next to him was a shriveled and thin old lady with gray hair, wearing a pair of reading glasses with thick lenses, and a basket made of rattan was placed at her feet, which seemed to contain some food.

"Who are you going to see, young man?" she asked.

Ning Shen replied: "I will visit his mother for my friend."

"That's rather strange." The old lady smiled kindly, "Your friend is working out of town, isn't it convenient to come and see?"

Ning Shen shook his head and said, "I won't let him come, it's better if he doesn't come."

The old lady seemed to understand something, she let out a long sigh, and said no more.

The two-stop road arrived soon, and Ning Shen got out of the car, bought a fruit basket from a fruit shop near the mental hospital, and planned to take it to Zhu Juan's ward later.

The nurse led him forward, and said: "Bed 21 has been doing well recently, and the state has stabilized a lot. When I go to the yard to bask in the sun during the day, I will chat with other patients. I can't tell the difference between people like before. , calling out his son’s name to everyone.”

Ning Shen nodded: "Understood, thank you."

When Zhu Juan was first sent to the mental hospital, her symptoms were much more serious. Later, as the years passed, she gradually settled down. better.

"Oh, that's right." The nurse said again, "But she didn't know what happened yesterday, she was basking in the sun well, and suddenly ran to grab other people's things."

"Steal something?" Ning Shen asked, "What did you rob?"

"Yesterday, a family member of a patient came to visit with her daughter. The little girl was holding a plush toy in her arms. When she saw it, she snatched the little girl's toy away, scaring her beyond recognition." Nurse Sighed, "Then the family member hurried away with their daughter, and the toy was not taken away. Later I asked her why she robbed things, but she didn't say anything, just kept holding the toy that she had snatched."

Ning pursed her lips deeply, thoughtfully.

After the nurse and Ning Shen explained the situation, they continued to work.Ning Shen entered the ward alone, and gently placed the fruit basket on the bedside table of bed 21.Seeing him coming, the nurse greeted him, then got up and went out.

Sitting on a wicker chair by the window was a woman in a hospital gown. Her long hair was tied behind her head. Her hair was almost half white, but her face was still young and beautiful. She looked about 40 years old, but her face Her face and lips were pale, her eyes were cloudy and dull, without a trace of expression.She was holding a little bear doll in her arms, and she was looking out the window, not sure if she was looking at the mountains in the distance, or she was just in a daze.

"Auntie Zhu." Ning Shen called her softly.

Zhu Juan turned her head slowly, stared at Ning Shen standing by the door for a moment, then stood up suddenly, grabbed the little bear and ran towards him in a hurry, staggered halfway, and threw off a slipper .

Afraid that she would fall, Ning Shen stretched out his hand to help her, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

In the past, whenever he came to visit in a mental hospital, Zhu Juan either ignored him at all, or treated him as her son or her husband, and said some touching words. It seemed like it was the first time that she had such a big reaction.

"I, I know you, you are Ning Shen...!" Zhu Juan grabbed Ning Shen's arm tightly and begged him, "Can you let me see Junyan, please tell him that I want to see him! He It's my son, he will definitely come to see me! He will definitely come..."

"...You sit down first." Ning Shen frowned, trying to break Zhu Juan's hand away, but she used almost all her strength and held it extremely tightly.Ning Shen was afraid that forcibly breaking it apart would hurt her, so he had no choice but to give up and let her continue to hold on.

Zhu Juan had never recognized him before, but for some reason today, she suddenly recognized him again.Ning Shen was a little worried, always feeling that it would be difficult to settle this matter easily.

"Junyan, he is very obedient... He said, he said he would take me out of Fucheng to travel around the world when he made money, he said he would make me the happiest mother in the world..." Wish Juan choked with sobs, unknowingly bursting into tears, "But why doesn't he come to see me now, where did he go?"

"Ning Shen, you must know where he is, right? He is so close to you, you must know!"

While holding Ning Shen and crying, Zhu Juan repeatedly said that she wanted to see Xia Junyan.The nurse waiting outside the door was alarmed by her crying, and hurried in to see what was going on: "Oh, what's going on, everything was fine just now!"

Ning Shen said: "She wants to see her son."

The nurse didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Zhu Juan crying so much, she hurried to wipe her tears with a piece of paper, and couldn't help complaining for Zhu Juan: "Oh, sister Zhu must be missing her son very much when she stays alone in this kind of place all day long. Why her son left her here like this and didn't care about it, how pitiful..."

Poor?

Ning Shen looked at the tearful woman in front of her, but the temperature in her eyes gradually dissipated.

When she beat and scolded Xia Junyan, poured boiling water on him and mentally abused him, didn't she think that such a day would come?

The next chapter will tell a little about Xia Junyan's childhood.
