In the silent place

Zhan Zhao lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.Jiang Dong sat on the side of the bed and looked at him, sighed deeply, wanting to blame but couldn't bear it.He thought that his cousin should be well taken care of at home after being discharged from the hospital for more than a month, but who would have thought that when he came back to take a look, it was even more worrying than when he looked at it before he left.He really doesn't understand, just like this, why is my old lady willing to let him hang out in the book bar?

The person on the bed moved slightly, and Jiang Dong hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Is it better?"

Slowly opening his eyes, when Zhan Zhao saw the people around him clearly, he smiled slightly and said, "Well, it's much better."

"What happened just now?"

"Just a little dizzy, it's okay."

"You said it's not a problem. Last time you achieved that virtue, you stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and the hematoma hasn't disappeared yet. Why don't you have a long memory?" The number of people dropped.Looking down at my cousin, I saw him staring down at the corner of the quilt, with a white face and no words, and felt like a big villain, I was really angry and hurt. "I'll take you back later. You stay at home honestly. I'm on leave for a while. I'll take a look at the bookstore."

Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth, hating why his body was so unsatisfactory, he couldn't even do something as simple as visiting a shop.The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he was so depressed that he almost went crazy.Jiang Dong saw that his brows were frowning, his breathing was short of breath, and his lips were turning purple, so he was so frightened that he quickly stroked his chest to relieve his breath.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you." Jiang Dong secretly blamed himself for being serious, and wanted to enlighten the other party, but his mouth was too stupid to find words.After thinking for a while, he smirked and said, "Your bookstore is very good, let me temporarily be the store manager for a few days to enjoy it. After you recover your health, I will return the position of store manager to you. In this way, the head office right?"

Zhan Zhao felt his heart was blocked, and he imagined laughing with him as before, but found it extremely difficult to even pull a smile. "Cousin, I'm really useless." With the mask of strength removed, he didn't know what was left of him.Seeing the things that had been supporting him crumbling bit by bit before his eyes, he was like duckweed in the water, unable to hold on to anything.

Jiang Dong had never seen him so depressed before, and felt great pain in his heart.He shouted hoarsely: "You are not allowed to say that." He threw his cousin's shoulder and made him look directly at him. "Look, isn't the book club already open? Here is your hard work, and you are nothing like what you said!"

"I tried really hard, but..."

"Brother knows, brother knows..." Looking at the clear eyes in front of him, but full of tiredness and pain, Jiang Dong felt his eyes were burning hot, and his throat felt like a stone was stuck.He stretched out his warm palm, patted his cousin's cheek lightly, and said with a forced smile: "Aren't you much better now than before, don't be discouraged, take your time."

"En." Zhan Zhao replied in a low voice, feeling deeply ashamed.Obviously, he himself was too self-willed, but now he wants the other party to coax him instead. "Cousin, I was the one who was stupid just now, and I won't do it again in the future."

"That's right. You lie down and I'll go downstairs and get a drink."

Jiang Dong smiled at him, stood up and walked out.For a long time, what he saw was his smiling face. No matter how difficult it was, the other party always faced it with a smile.He thought he understood his pain, but in fact, he never put himself in his shoes and considered his feelings.Gently closing the door, Jiang Dong sat down on the steps, feeling as uncomfortable as being torn back and forth in his heart.

Seeing Jiang Ping downstairs, Jiang Dong was slightly taken aback, and walked up to say hello.

"Fourth brother is here." Although he was older than Jiang Ping, he had been shouting that since the day Bai Yutang introduced him, and he didn't bother to change his words.

Jiang Ping waved his hands at him, glanced at the partition behind, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Zhan Zhao is not feeling well, how is it? Is he feeling better?"

"It's okay, I'm lying upstairs." Jiang Dong said, took out a can of Coke from the soda cooler, and held it up at Jiang Ping. "What would the fourth brother want to drink?"

"No, I have something else to do, so I just came in for a walk." Jiang Ping lifted the briefcase on the side of the cold drink stand, and said, "Zhan Zhao is not feeling well, so I won't bother him. I'll come back another day when I'm free."

Seeing him in a hurry, Jiang Dong didn't force him to stay, said hello, and sent him to the door of the book bar before turning back to the second floor.

Jiang Ping felt like a coward, especially after hearing what Li Shangjuan said, he ran away without even seeing Zhan Zhao.He really hoped that what Zhan Zhao got was just gastroenteritis, so that he wouldn't need to pretend when facing the other party, and he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart.Leaving the book bar as if escaping, he walked quickly to the car, got into the car, started the horsepower and left in a hurry.

After returning home at night, Jiang Dong took his old lady into the bedroom, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Mom, are you confused? Xiao Zhao is like that, why do you still let him run to the book bar?"

Liu Rong sighed, turned her head to look at her son and said, "He has been bored for more than two months, if we don't let him go out, I will really bore him to death. Even if I go to study, I will only let him move around for 3 hours, the rest Let him stay upstairs all the time."

"It's been more than a month since he was discharged from the hospital. Why is he in worse health than before I left?"

"Didn't you see that when he was hospitalized, Doctor Han said that it is a miracle that the injury can be recovered to this extent now." Liu Rong said, walked to the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Take him to the hospital tomorrow for a blood test."

"it is good."

"When I went, I would like to thank Dr. Han. Maybe he will return to Tongjuntang in two weeks."

"You said that Dr. Han is going back to Hangzhou?" Jiang Dong felt a 'boom' in his heart. He finally saw some hope from Dr. Han, and he didn't want to give up just like that.

"Ah."

"Then what will Xiao Zhao do when he sees a doctor?"

"I asked last time. Dr. Han said that it is best to go by yourself. If you are seriously ill and can't go there, your family members can bring the case to him to see."

Jiang Dong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sat on the sofa by the wall.Liu Rong looked at her son, smiled suddenly, and said, "How long have you known Gao Yue? Are you still secretly not telling me and your dad? You really belong."

"Didn't you tell me now?"

"If you like someone, just concentrate on it, don't lose focus all day long."

"I know." Jiang Dong couldn't listen to his old lady's nagging, so he deliberately elongated his voice, his tone full of impatience.

Liu Rong also knew that her son didn't like to hear it, but she was so happy to see her future daughter-in-law today, so she didn't care about it any more. "Okay, I'm going out. You go to bed early, too."

"Yeah." Jiang Dong watched his old lady walk out of the room, fell backwards, and leaned lazily on the sofa.

It had been nearly three months since the fifth brother had left, and Lu Fang was so happy to see him finally come back from the finale. On the weekend, he specially called a few brothers to have a gathering at home.Bai Yutang came over at ten o'clock in the morning, and prepared lunch in the kitchen with his sister-in-law Min Xiuxiu.Lu Zhen was like a little follower, wandering around behind him from time to time.

"Uncle Wu, last time you taught me how to fly a model airplane."

Why do kids these days have such good memories?Bai Yutang pinched his little face, chuckled, and said, "Didn't your father teach you?"

"Don't teach him!" Lu Zhen said with a serious face, "He hid the model on the cabinet and won't let me touch it."

Min Xiuxiu touched his son's head, then turned his head and smiled helplessly at Bai Yutang. "You go to the living room to play with him, otherwise this little ancestor will stay here, and we will never do anything."

"Okay." Bai Yutang wiped his hands, held Lu Zhen's two small arms so that his feet would step on his own, and moved from the kitchen to the living room.

It can be considered that someone played with him, Lu Zhen giggled happily, and pointed at the bookcase with her hand. "Uncle Wu, look, the model is right there."

Bai Yutang followed his little hand to see that it really was. "Come on, Uncle Wu will take you downstairs to release the model airplane."

When Lu Zhen heard it, she let out a cry of joy, let go of him, turned and ran to the kitchen door and shouted into it: "Mom, mom, Uncle Wu promised to take me to fly the plane."

"Okay, remember to be obedient, you know? If you are naughty, next time I will tell you that Fifth Uncle won't let him play with you."

"I am obedient!"

Bai Yutang took down the model airplane from the bookcase, walked over and patted Lu Zhen on the shoulder, shook his head towards the door, and said, "Go, open the way!"

Listening to what he said, Lu Zhen hopped to the door like a little adult.

The two were having fun in the small garden, and the second brother Han Zhang walked towards them with a smile. "Are you addicted to playing?"

"Second brother, when did you come?" Bai Yutang greeted with a smile, and slowly stopped the remote control in his hand.

"It's been a while. Sister-in-law asked me to call you two, go up, brothers and sisters are all here, let's start dinner immediately."

"Okay." Bai Yutang replied, turning his head to look at his nephew who was squatting on the ground playing with the plane. "Lu Zhen, let's go, let's eat."

"Oh, here we come." Lu Zhen picked up the plane and ran over.Bai Yutang and Han Zhang each grabbed one of his hands, the villain raised his foot, and the two uncles lifted him up together, and ran home talking and laughing with him.

In the dining room, a few brothers chatted while drinking, it was even more lively than in the small restaurant.

Xu Qing picked up his wine glass and lightly touched the glass next to Bai Yutang, and took the lead in drinking a small cup of wine. "Old Five, how was the filming this time?"

Thinking of this drama, all kinds of flavors gather in my heart for a while.Bai Yutang drank the wine in the glass with a toast, and said with a slight smile, "Hurry up and hurry up, the filming is finally over, after watching the shots, it's not bad."

"I heard that Tong Yujie is quite a stinky guy." Lu Fang, the eldest brother, took a bite of food and said casually: "Last time, a newcomer was recruited, named Tan Feng. Speaking of which, he was still your school girl, and I just happened to join him in a class." In a variety show, I had some conflicts with him backstage, which made it almost impossible to record the show in the end."

Jiang Ping took a sneak peek at Bai Yutang from the side, and saw that his brows were wrinkled, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Just finish the filming." Then he yelled: "Hurry up, don't you say that you will play cards later? I can Waiting to win some of you."

Hearing what he said, everyone began to point their fingers at him, and immediately threw the topic just now out of the blue.

After dinner in the afternoon, several people set up a table in the hall and started to rub cards.Just as I was having fun, my phone rang suddenly.

"Second brother, take my place first." Bai Yutang said as he took out his cell phone and went to the hall to pick it up. "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Don't come here tomorrow." The eldest brother Bai Jintang's voice came from the microphone.

"Huh? Do you have something to do?" Bai Yutang said after a pause, "Okay, I'll go there later when you have time."

The other party was silent for a while, and said: "Our father has an operation the day after tomorrow, and I will go back tomorrow."

When Bai Yutang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. "Surgery? What happened to our dad?"

"Don't worry, it's just an old problem of lumbar disc herniation. It hasn't improved after conservative treatment for so long. The doctor suggested a minimally invasive surgery. My dad also agreed."

"Have you booked your flight ticket yet?" Bai Yutang asked anxiously.

"Not yet, my mother just called me." Bai Jintang was in a dilemma, and his mother specifically asked him not to speak, but he felt that he still had to talk to his brother.

"Book one for me too, and I'll go back with you."

Bai Jintang thought about it and sighed. "Okay, I'll call you after I book the ticket."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yutang lost the mood to have fun, excused himself by saying that something was urgent and left in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang and his elder brother Bai Jintang took the first flight back home.

Jiang Ning, who was accompanying her husband in the hospital, was stunned when she saw her two sons pushing the door open.

"Mom, are you still hiding such a big thing from me? If my brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't know about it!"

"Isn't it because your father was afraid that you would be worried, and you just finished filming and you were tired from running around, so you didn't tell you." Jiang Ning glanced at the eldest son next to him, showing some complaints.

Bai Yutang turned his head to look at his father who was lying on the hospital bed, walked slowly to the side of the bed, lowered his head and called softly: "Dad."

Although he could often see his son on TV magazines, Bai Yanduo hadn't seen his youngest son face to face for more than two years. Seeing him rushing at this time, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "Worth it" filming finished?

"Well, just finished filming."

Seeing that his father finally spoke to his younger brother peacefully, Bai Jintang hurriedly winked at his mother who was at the side. "Dad, my mother and I went out to buy some food, and we'll be back later, you and Yutang will talk first."

Jiang Ning sighed, walked to the window, picked up the backpack from the sofa, glanced at the second son meaningfully, and then silently followed the elder son out of the ward.
