Conservation of energy

During the summer vacation, Shen Lin basically stayed with Luo Xintong at the hospital early in the morning every day, and Zhang Xiangyun also came to the hospital to accompany the two of them every now and then. As Fan Wenyan got better, Luo Xintong gradually became more cheerful. Sometimes Shen Lin said Luo Xintong would smile when he saw something happy, and when he saw that everything was getting better, one morning, Luo Xintong received a call from his younger brother Luo Xinheng, telling Luo Xintong that his grandma had passed away.After Luo Xintong hung up the phone, he saw Fan Wenyan was still asleep on the bed. Then Shen Lin came to the hospital and saw Luo Xintong looking at a loss. Luo Xintong told Shen Lin that his grandma had passed away.

Shen Lin called Zhang Xiangyun. Shen Lin decided to let Luo Xintong go home to take care of grandma's funeral. He helped take care of Fan Wenyan in the hospital. Zhang Xiangyun also suggested that the two could take shifts. Luo Xintong said thank you with red eyes. Let Luo Xin mourn, saying that there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, and the brothers will overcome the difficulties together and then talk about the future.

Luo Xintong rushed back that day, and grandma was placed on the floor of the main room just like that, with a small appearance and no kind smile on her wrinkled face, grandpa couldn't stand the series of blows and lay on the bed When he got sick, his younger brother took care of him. Luo Xinheng told Luo Xintong that his grandma passed away suddenly in the early morning of the same day. His mother had been depressed since she became ill. She died of sudden cerebral infarction. The old man with dark hair who was given away by others left after his wife got sick.The old people in the village helped Luo Xintong find Mr. Yin and Yang, calculated the date of burial, found a cemetery, arranged for the funeral, and set up the mourning hall in the evening. The funeral was two days later. Luo Xintong took care of his seriously ill grandfather and told him that My mother is recovering very well, she will be discharged from the hospital soon, and will basically return to normal in the future, so my grandfather is a little relieved.

Cremation is not yet popular in the countryside. The funeral is two days later in the morning. Luo Xintong and Luo Xintong kneel in the yard instead of their father and kowtow to the relatives and friends who reported the funeral one by one. It seemed that he wanted to see his grandmother for the last time. Luo Xinheng had a deep relationship with his grandmother since he was a child. Luo Xintong hugged him desperately. The thirteen-year-old boy was so strong that Luo Xintong almost couldn't control him. When the cover was completely covered, Luo Xintong let go, and Luo Xinheng crouched down holding his head in despair and began to cry...

Luo Xintong calmly finished taking care of her grandma's funeral, and hung her portrait in the main room.Luo Xintong recalled the scene when his mother took care of his father's funeral back then. He had very little impression of his father's funeral in his memory. He only remembered that his strong mother always acted calmly. Luo Xintong looked very much like his mother back then, watching his younger brother cry Luo Xintong hugged Luo Xinheng firmly, and gently patted his younger brother to comfort him silently.

After burning grandma's first seven days, Luo Xinheng had calmed down a lot, stopped crying, cooked and washed, and silently took care of family affairs. This little boy had a heart as strong as his mother's. When he was leaving , Luo Xinheng told his brother that he would take good care of his grandfather, so that he could rest assured.The two brothers seem to have grown up overnight.

When Luo Xintong returned to the hospital, the doctor told Luo Xintong's mother that she could be discharged from the hospital, but he repeatedly emphasized that the drug should not be stopped, and that she would go to the hospital for regular checkups, and she would be sent to the hospital immediately if something happened.

The level of medical care in the countryside is not good, and my younger brother is still a 13-year-old child. After a series of accidents, my grandfather’s health is deteriorating. Luo Xintong decided to keep his mother by his side. Luo Zhengwen asked Luo Xintong to arrange Fan Wenyan in his home. Tong refused, saying that his home was too far away from the hospital, and it was inconvenient to send him to the hospital when he became ill. He insisted on renting a house near the hospital with Fan Wenyan and taking care of his mother by himself.Luo Zhengwen saw Luo Xintong's concerns. The family was not big and he didn't want to cause trouble for him. Mental patients are often very dangerous. Luo Xintong, a kind child, just didn't want the members of Luo Sensen's family to be hurt.I had no choice but to give Luo Xintong some money, and told him to tell them anything.

Luo Xintong found a self-built private house between the hospital and the school. The room was small, simple two-bedroom, with separate bathroom and kitchen. Luo Xintong went to the second-hand market to buy some simple tables and chairs. Neat and tidy, cleaned the room carefully, changed the washed sheets and quilts, and wanted to make her mother feel better and recover soon, Luo Xintong decorated the house and put a photo of her mother and younger brother on the bedside of her mother. I bought a handful of flowers at the vegetable market and put them in a "vase" made of Coke bottles.Luo Xintong watched himself carefully arrange this small "home", imagining the appearance of his mother living in and the gentle expression of his mother when he was a child, Luo Xintong showed a gratified smile...

At noon after picking up my mother "home", I saw Shen Lin and Zhang Xiangyun fiddle with something in the kitchen. The kitchen is small, and the two often meet in the kitchen. Water, do you want to peel the eggplant?" The two debated. Shen Lin held a cookbook and studied it carefully. The narrow kitchen seemed crowded in the presence of two tall men, and the two would bump into each other accidentally from time to time. At that moment, Luo Xintong felt that this is what home looks like...

When Shen Lin and Zhang Xiangyun saw Luo Xintong's mother and son come back, they put the prepared dishes on the tableclothed dining table. The dishes were very ordinary, and there were two dishes that seemed to have too much soy sauce. However, Luo Xintong felt his nose sore, and then he laughed, took his mother to wash his hands, the four of them sat down to eat lunch, Shen Lin bought a large bottle of orange juice, poured it for the four of them in a disposable cup, the orange juice The golden fruit is floating in the cup, the green tablecloth and the flowers in the Coke bottle make Luo Xintong feel alive...

Zhang Xiangyun held the cup and said: I wish my mother a speedy recovery.

Zhang Xiangyun's "Mom" made the other two go in without knowing it, and then Zhang Xiangyun patted his chest and said: From now on, my brother's mother will be my mother, and our sons will take turns taking care of my mother from now on.

Immediately, Shen Lin also raised his cup and said: I wish my mother... a speedy recovery.

Shen Lin paused for a moment before saying the word "Mom". He hadn't called "Mom" for many years, and felt that this name was very strange. This one-year-old child would call "Mom" twice when he was babbling. The simplest pronunciation seems to have exhausted my strength, and I thought that I could also call Luo Xintong's mother mother, as if Fan Wenyan had admitted herself by default, as if to verify that Fan Wenyan had admitted herself, Shen Lin Trying to touch a glass with Fan Wenyan, Fan Wenyan said "yes", then turned to look at Luo Xintong, seeing a smile on the corner of Luo Xintong's mouth, as if the person in front of him seemed to be his other half recognized by the elders , a trace of uncontrollable excitement rose in my heart.

This meal is the one that Luo Xintong has eaten the most since his mother fell ill. Although the two put too much salt in the chicken soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mistook sugar for salt, Luo Xintong thought it was the best meal. During the meal, several people ate all the dishes on the table while talking and laughing.

Fan Wenyan recovered very well under the care of Luo Xintong and the other two. She was basically able to take care of herself, and even occasionally cooked a meal for Luo Xintong. Zhang Xiangyun and Shen Lin also treated Fan Wenyan as they said. As her own mother, the three children basically stayed at Luo Xintong’s house during the summer vacation. Sometimes Fan Wenyan would pour a few glasses of water for a few children who were studying and made a simple meal, and even sewed a newspaper. I found a handicraft job here, loading a lighter for [-] cents, and sometimes even seventy or eighty of them a day. At first, Luo Xintong didn't want her mother to be too tired, but Shen Lin said that her mother would find a lighter like this. Whether it is spiritual sustenance, Luo Xintong finally complied.

In the last few days of the summer vacation, several people took their mother to the hospital for reexamination. The doctor said that Fan Wenyan was recovering very well. Luo Xintong knew in her heart that her mother's recovery was inseparable from the two of them. two brothers.

Soon the summer vacation ended, Luo Xintong and Zhang Xiangyun entered the tense third year of high school, Shen Lin chose science to enter the second year of high school, Luo Zhengwen was still Shen Lin's physics teacher, Luo Sensen couldn't keep up with physics and mathematics, so he chose took the liberal arts.
