Fragrance of peaches and plums

Regarding grandma's physical condition, Dr. Mei mercilessly summed it up in four words: Accumulated worries become illnesses.

She has all the problems that old people at this age have, such as bronchitis and three highs.But because I often go to Chinese medicine, get massages, and drink some Chinese medicine, the situation is not too serious.What endangers her health the most is the accumulated worries in her heart.

"When people live to this age, they can live longer by relaxing their minds and being more relaxed and happy. Worrying like you is always exhausting." Dr. Mei took off his gloves, took a pen, and quickly wrote on the medical record card.

Grandma smiled, didn't speak, and looked like she knew what she knew.

Xia Zhengyu, Lu Huaiting, and Xia Jun surrounded him at the same time, asking if they were all going to be hospitalized.

Dr. Mei said: "Whether to live in the hospital or not depends on the opinion of the hospital doctor. The equipment is still limited, and there are still some that I can't check. However, my suggestion is not to use it for the time being. The old lady's illnesses are not serious. The problem is that if you commit a crime that is likely to cause complications, the hospitalization is nothing more than a tighter observation and monitoring. It is enough to pay attention to these things, so—"

He looked back at grandma and sighed: "It's better for someone to stay with her for a long time, so that nothing happens, and there is no one around."

Hearing this, Xia Zhengyu's heart suddenly sank.Feeling both guilty and powerless.

Dr. Mei wrote the medical record and handed it to Xia Jun: "Your mother thinks too much, let her be relieved."

"I can't control what the old lady is thinking. She is worried, but not her grandson. Oh, let me say, Xia Zhengyu, can you save your grandma a little bit?" Dr. Mei's words were just normal. The doctor ordered, but Xia Jun seemed to be accused, and subconsciously revealed a bit of evasion.

Annoyed by his behavior, Xia Zhengyu reached out to take the medical record card from him, then bowed to Dr. Mei, said "Thank you", and walked towards grandma, ready to leave.

Xia Jun's complexion was not very good, and he hurriedly followed, muttering: "What a bad temper, you are the only one who makes grandma worry about you!"

Xia Zhengyu didn't feel anything when he heard this.But now it seemed that the speaker had no intention of listening and the listener had the intention, the expression on his face eased, and his attitude towards grandma was extremely gentle.

"Then let's go, thank you Mr. Lu, thank you Dr. Mei, I have troubled you so much this time..." Xia Jun turned his head and bowed and clasped his hands together to thank him. Dr. Mei and Lu Huaiting over there looked at him lightly. He, Doctor Mei nodded slightly.

Xia Zhengyu also looked back at Lu Huaiting, the two looked at each other for a moment, neither of them spoke.

Xia Zhengyu finally left silently.

When she got home, grandma took out all her traditional Chinese medicines, honestly relayed all the advice of the old Chinese medicine doctor to Xia Zhengyu, and said that she would take the medicine well, pay attention to her diet, and exercise with glutinous rice every day.

Xia Zhengyu held back his self-blame in his heart, and his expression was not relaxed after hearing these reassuring words.But it is impossible to blame grandma for my emotions, so I sighed.

"I'll find an aunt for my family as soon as possible. You don't have to work hard in the future. It's time to eat, drink, and play. Don't worry about having no money at home. I will have time to work part-time after I finish the college entrance examination in a few months. Others I can't find a job, but Wenxi can always accept me."

He finished talking about everything, grandma had nothing to say, and didn't want to make him unhappy, so she nodded and said yes.

The next day, Wen Xi came over from home.Most of the workers in the base are farmers, and the company is still in its infancy, so this Chinese New Year is celebrated on the Lantern Festival.He came so early only for Xia Zhengyu.

As soon as the two of them got together, they posted a recruitment notice in the circle of acquaintances.In the past few days before the start of school, I chatted with several aunts in a row, but none of them were very suitable. In the end, Lao Wen recommended a relatively suitable person.

His surname is Zhou, in his mid-fifties, with experience in domestic work, and he resigned only after having a grandson in the family.Now her son and daughter-in-law are divorced, and the child and mother are not allowed to take care of her, so she will come out to work again.

Aunt Zhou is cheerful, and the matter of the children in the family does not seem to affect her mood. When talking about it, she is only three points helpless, and the remaining seven points are "let them go".When Xia Zhengyu saw it, he felt that grandma was suitable to play with such a person.

With an aunt at home, he felt more at ease.

As soon as the seventh day is over, the senior three students return to school, and the eighth day begins to study by themselves in the evening.Busy, from the first moment back to the classroom began.

The closer he got to that big day, Xia Zhengyu felt that his heart became quieter.He was clearer than ever about what he had to do. On the first day of school, before the alarm clock rang in the morning, he opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling for a while, and got up straight away.

Aunt Zhou and grandma were outside earlier than him.Aunt Zhou is preparing breakfast, and grandma is playing with glutinous rice.

Seeing him getting up so early, grandma was surprised: "Why did you get up?"

"Go to school early." He scratched his head, looked at grandma from a distance, and felt that she looked good, and his mind was settled for today.

After breakfast and an egg, he went out.

When he opened the door, grandma stopped him suddenly, pointed to the upstairs, and said, "Don't forget to ask Teacher Wen to come down for breakfast."

In the past few days, Wen Xi ate three meals a day at their house, and the refrigerator in his own house was empty.He didn't mean to add anything, so he went downstairs to eat and eat with peace of mind.

But at that time Aunt Zhou hadn't come yet, Xia Zhengyu felt a little embarrassed in front of Aunt Zhou today, said "Oh", and ran away, only sending messages at the gate of the community.

He was embarrassed, but Wen Xi was quite embarrassed.After receiving the message, he went downstairs and knocked on the door.Grandma opened the door to welcome him in, just like her own family, nagging him that he was wearing less clothes, and then invited him to eat.

"There is something that I want to discuss with you while Xiaoyu is away." Grandma said while sitting at the table.

Wen Xi nodded: "What about Xiao Ting?"

Grandma replied: "Yes. He is interested in seeing a doctor. Seeing that the year is over, I haven't had a chance to thank him. I heard that he is going back to school. I want to go to Qinglin Temple today to ask him for help." Xu Ping'an's little thing, you can bring it to him later, okay?"

Wen Xi understood grandma's intentions, so she agreed: "I haven't gone to work yet, and I'm free, so I'll go with you."

Grandma didn't refuse.

After breakfast, Wen Xi went out with grandma when the sun outside was warmer.

Qinglin Temple is the closest temple to them, not too big, but it is famous, it is nothing more than "spiritual", and the incense is quite strong.When they arrived, there were already many tourists there, occasionally some locals like them were sandwiched in.

Grandma went to the Buddhist temple she was looking for with ease, knelt down and made a wish.Then I went to the store in the temple to buy a string of pretty good bracelets, and then went to wait in line for the master to "consecrate".

After all this is done, it will be noon.

Grandma put the Buddha beads in the bag carefully, and even bought a small wooden box, handed it to Wen Xi, and said, "I'm sorry."

Her tone was polite and solemn, which sounded a bit polite at first glance.Wen Xi didn't care, he put the bracelet away under her gaze, and sent her home.

In this way, he had to go personally to deliver things to Lu Huaiting.After all, it was grandma's wish, so he should have delivered it himself.Taking advantage of his free time, he asked Lu Huaiting out in the afternoon.

Lu Huaiting, who is not at work, is dressed like a big boy.Due to his temperament, he wasn't as youthful and lively as Xia Zhengyu, but he was refreshing and clean enough. He sat in front of Wen Xi with a bright and lazy smile, very innocent.

It's like seeing a teenager from a few years ago.

Wen Xi cut to the chase, and pushed the small box in his hand over: "Grandma gave you the peace talisman."

He opened it, took out the bracelet and weighed it, then put it on his wrist, whispered "it's very comfortable", then raised his head and said, "Thank you for bringing it to me."

He gave people a very different feeling from before, with less ambiguous stickiness and less haunting emotions.Looking at Wen Xi's eyes and expression, it seems that he tried his best to show a "should" and "normal" attitude.

Wen Xi noticed the change in him, but remained calm and said, "When are you going back to school?"

Lu Huaiting said: "Next week, the exact date has not yet been determined."

"Yeah." Wen Xi nodded, "Go back and relax."

These words were quite meaningful, Lu Huaiting looked up, but Wen Xi couldn't see any meaning on his face.

Lu Huaiting asked: "Can you come see me off?"

"If I have time, I will go." Wen Xi said, "Didn't I send you the last time you went abroad?"

oh.Lu Huaiting replied in a low voice, and the two fell into silence.The sun is shining outside, and the air can smell the breath of spring. Looking at the scenery outside the window, the silence is not embarrassing.

After a while, Lu Huaiting asked softly: "Brother, tell me, can I start over?"

He seemed to be asking questions out of nowhere, but Wen Xi understood.

Lu Huaiting, who doesn't know when, has created a special shell for himself.The appearance of the shell is neither indifferent and powerful in the general sense, nor is it the usual idleness, but a more extreme, almost perverted grabbing posture, which looks violent and dangerous.

Under this shell, not only others, but also himself may not be able to see his original appearance clearly.

"Start over?" Wen Xi said softly, "Why do you want to start over?"

"They," Lu Huaiting pinched the beads in his hand, one by one, "everyone thinks I'm abnormal. I'm still young, others will let me, and I won't do anything earth-shattering , it seems to be quite controllable. But if in the future, I have more initiative than now, who knows what I will do?"

Wen Xi said: "Do you think you are suffering like this now?"

Lu Huaiting looked up at him and smiled: "I don't know what pain is."

Wen Xi thought for a while and said, "The feeling you don't like very much is pain."

After hearing this, Lu Huaiting's eyes were a little dazed, as if he was thinking about what a "very disliked feeling" is.

After a while, his smile showed a bit of self-deprecation: "Then I am in too much pain, I don't have any feelings that I like very much, all of which can be classified as dislikes - except being with you when I was a child, and..."

He paused, looked into Wen Xi's eyes, "I was with Xia Zhengyu at that time."

Wen Xi was silent.

"But, can you give me back Xia Zhengyu? Can Xia Zhengyu give you back to me?" He asked while laughing, his eyes were red, he wrinkled his nose, and put away the small box containing the bracelet, "Brother, I am leaving."

Wen Xi nodded and kept watching his back.
