i love you in another city

Chapter 79 Time Slow Down

Some things seem to be said casually, but they seem to indicate something in the dark.

The two of them would not really part ways because of such words, but after returning from this trip, some things have changed unknowingly.

Li Tong seldom drives when he takes the plane, reverses the train, and goes home because it is too far away and the road is very tiring. He is in a hurry to fly or take the high-speed rail. Under normal circumstances, the ordinary train is his best choice.

Maybe it's because he has been poor for a long time. Even though he has some spare money now, he is still not used to extravagance and waste. For him, no matter what the means of transportation is, it is enough to take him home.

When he got home, he first went home and put away his luggage, and when he was ready, Li Tong rushed to the hospital.

The elder sister and brother-in-law haven't come back yet, saying they are on the way, while the mother is guarding at the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, my mother wasn't there, but a relative at home. Li Tong went over to say hello, and then sat down on a stool beside him.

It's not that Li Tong is indifferent, but that he has been away all year round and has little communication with these relatives.Before Li Tong came out of the closet, even though his parents concealed it in every possible way, his relatives and friends knew about it. It was ridicule, and gradually, the relationship with many relatives was alienated.

Li Tong knew that this had a great impact on his parents, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't change anything. Besides, it had already happened. .

After my mother came back, the relative stayed for a while and then left.

"Son, have you eaten yet? There is still some fruit here. I just brought food for your dad. You should eat the fruit first to fill your belly."

"I'm not hungry yet, how is he?"

As far as Li Tong could see, there was a hospital bed. His father was lying on the bed, wearing an oxygen mask, sleeping soundly. Li Tong hadn't woken up until now.

"The doctor said it was cor pulmonale, and he needed to be recuperated in the hospital. After an examination, the airway was not very smooth. After some treatment, he didn't have much sleep." My mother glanced at her husband on the hospital bed, sighed, and at the same time felt a little guilty. Because she feels that this is too much trouble for her children, one by one, outside, and it is not easy.

"Pulmonary heart disease? What's going on?" Li Tong had a rough guess in his heart when he asked, but he didn't hear some facts with his own ears, so he still didn't want to believe them.

"Isn't he a smoker? Tell him, I told him to quit smoking, but he refused. Now I've sent myself to the hospital."

As she said that, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, probably because life was full of ups and downs in this life, and she couldn't help herself at all, and then she was in such a situation, sobbing and crying.

It was probably a hospital, and many people looked over curiously. Li Tong was helpless, but he still suppressed his temper and patted his mother's shoulder: "It's okay, this will be fine after taking care of it slowly, isn't it me and my sister?" !"

After all, it was the son's words that worked. Li Tong comforted him for a while, and his mother calmed down, and then she looked at her son: "Where is An Yi, didn't you come back with you?"

In my mother's perception, these two people are basically inseparable from each other. Although it has been several years, the relationship between the two is still the same as before. At least I accepted it. As for An Yi, wouldn't it be nice to just think that I had an extra son for no reason!

"Oh, his company has something to do, so he can't come back."

While talking, An Yi called. In order not to disturb other patients' rest, Li Tong went outside to make a call.

"Hey, baby, how is uncle?" On the other end of the phone, An Yi spoke in an extremely intimate tone. At first, he refused to call Li Tong, but this guy insisted on it again and again, and over time, he got used to it.

"Pulmonary heart disease, I need to be treated in the hospital for a while." Listening to the voice over there, Li Tong felt extremely at ease. Even if the world collapses, as long as you are here, I have nothing to fear.

"Don't worry, uncle will get better. You take good care of yourself at home. I'll wait for you when you come back." An Yi also received a call from the company and was busy at the moment, but for his daughter-in-law, big things had to be sidelined, and the daughter-in-law's mood was the most important .

"You're busy at the company, don't bother you, I'll be busy with you first." Li Tong was very careful, and soon heard the movement over there, so he persuaded.

"Then take care of yourself, I'll wait for you to come back."

"En." After hanging up the phone, Li Tong walked back to the ward, and was surprised to find that several people were there, saying hello: "Sister, brother-in-law, are you back?"

"Well, brother, when did you come back?" The brother-in-law asked first, the two of them were still carrying big bags and small bags, their clothes were dusty before they had time to change.

"It's not long since I came back, why don't you go back to rest and come back later, it's me and mom!"

The brother-in-law agreed without being pretentious, and left the hospital with the elder sister.

"Your sister still doesn't want to talk to you?" The mother looked at her daughter who hadn't said a word, and sighed, but felt helpless.

"Well, she is still complaining about me, my business, let you..."

Li Tong felt sore, looked at the back of the person who left, and blurted out self-blaming words, but his mother quickly said: "Son, it's not your fault, this is fate!"

"Don't blame your sister, she has no malicious intentions."

"I know."

Since when did the once close siblings end up in such a state!

It was caused by my own affairs. I told my elder sister about my identity before, but she still couldn't understand it and was very opposed to it, but the relationship between the two was still good.Until that year, after Li Tong's parents found out about Li Tong's affairs, and then his relatives and friends found out more or less, the elder sister believed that she had caused the current situation, that she had ruined the peace before, and made everyone's relationship tense.

No matter what Li Tong explained, she still couldn't understand it, and even resented her younger brother very much. As a result, the two people who were originally close to each other now met like an icehouse. If it weren't for her brother-in-law to mediate, they might not have exchanged a word.

After that, several people took turns to take care of them in the hospital. Gradually, the mother came to the hospital less often, basically it was the son, the daughter and the son-in-law who were taking care of their wife.

The few people didn't think much about it. After all, she was old and her physical condition was definitely not very good, so they let her rest as much as possible.

During the few days in the hospital, Zheng Yuzhi also called many times to inform Li Tong of the current situation and that the previous matter had been properly handled, and that Guo Liang also came back, saying that he had made a mistake in the blueprint because of the previous project. This guy was in charge, and Li Tong was not around. After Guo Liang wept and vowed to review the military order, the two thought about it, and decided to give this guy a chance and hand over the matter to Guo Liang. This also led to the later accident.

The time in the hospital felt very slow, day by day, even if Li Tong stayed in the hospital to process the documents on hand, he still felt very slow.

Afterwards, Li Tong solemnly apologized to Mrs. Wang again, and that person's anger disappeared early after Li Tong's sincere apology.

A few days later, An Yi called: "Baby, how is uncle's condition?"

"It's much better, what are you doing?" The old lady in the ward and the others watched, but Li Tong went to the corridor entrance to make a phone call, after all, so as not to disturb others.

"I'm thinking of you! Also, Xiao Yiyi is thinking of you too." On the other end of the phone, An Yi lowered her voice, and Li Tong could hear her heavy breathing, which made people's heart skip a beat.

"Shameless." Li Tong blushed, snorted softly, and then asked, "What are you doing now?"

"I'm at work! Do you miss me?"

"I'm so busy, how can I have time." Hearing the coquettish tone of the other end, Li Tong had black lines on his face. This guy, he wasn't like this before, and he replied duplicity.

"Okay, you didn't even think about me, don't sleep with me when you come back."

Good guy, threatened me, Li Tong snorted coldly, but still coaxed this guy: "Well, well, I miss you, I miss you so much."

"Then when are you coming back?"

"It will take a while." Li Tong looked at the time, and he had to go back, otherwise the old lady would be angry: "Let's not talk about it, I'm going to the ward."

"My mother is here."

Before he could say anything, Li Tong hung up the phone, and An Yi looked at the hung up phone, and murmured, "I don't know if I listened."

Two days later, my mother insisted on going to the hospital to take care of my father, while my elder brother-in-law was resting at home, and Li Tong rushed home to pick up things on the way.

In my mother's ward, I need the hospital's treatment list, a few changes of clothes, a large wooden box, the previous certificate of Mrs. Li Tong, and the bank card real estate certificate of the family passbook. Watch out, a checklist slips out.

Not knowing if it was fate, Li Tong picked up the checklist and looked at it. After a few glances, Li Tong's face turned pale.

This is an examination two years ago, my mother, the disease is lung cancer, terminal.

It was like a bolt from the blue. Looking at the time, it was before Li Tong confessed his sexual orientation to his parents. At that time, his mother learned that he had cancer, and then he learned the biggest secret of his son's life. Behind this, how much he endured Big grief.

It must be despair, Li Tong thought of this, and hated himself in his heart, Mom, my son is unfilial, I made you suffer, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my son is unfilial!

Turning my head, I saw my mother's previous diary. She has always had the habit of keeping a diary, but Li Tong seldom reads it, because most of his mother's memories are fragmentary and trivial.

At this moment, he seems to be interested. He really wants to know, all these years, the inner thoughts of his mother, and wants to know what kind of pain she has endured.

After reading a lot, Li Tong also read a lot, from when he was young to working in other places, the time was clear, and then he looked at the checklist in the hospital.

During this period of time, I was not feeling well, so I went to the hospital for an examination. I didn’t expect it to be cancer. The doctor told me that it was caused by excessive second-hand smoke. A child, I haven't seen enough of them, let me go like this.

The doctor told me that I can't live for a long time, and if I take good care of it, I can live for a while longer.Let's not tell the two children, so as to save them from being sad and spending money indiscriminately, I want to take care of it and see the two children more.

But, I am so reluctant to let me leave like this, how can I be willing, God, give me some more time, let me see them more.

This is the diary written by his mother that day after the examination. From it, Li Tong could feel his mother's deep helplessness and pain, but she endured it silently.

Then, after I came out of the closet, my mother wrote it when she came home.

I just came back from Yantai and learned about my son’s biggest secret in this life. It turned out that I misunderstood my son. I couldn’t accept it at first. How could my son like men? He is so cute. He should be married and have children. Get old!

But God just made a joke for him. In the past few days, I read the information my son recommended to me. I saw thousands of situations in this world, the same family, and parents who suffered the same as my son. But I What can I do, I don't want to see my son in pain, I can only bless with tears in my eyes!

That child is also very good. They were originally two happy families, but they have to bear all the malice in this world.Son, mom has a low culture, although I don't understand it very well, but mom hopes you can be happy, as long as you can be happy, I can feel at ease.

Mom is satisfied when she sees your happy life, but what will you do when you get old? Mom is worried and has nothing to do.

Son, I hope you can always be happy, otherwise mom will not feel at ease even if she is buried in the ground, son, mom loves you.

Afterwards, the diary is all fragmentary, but it is sincere and full of words.

Daughter, don't be angry with your brother, you came out of my stomach together, how did you become like this, can't you be good?

It's not easy for your brother, and there are some things that he can't decide. From now on, he will be alone. If there is no such person, what do you think he will do!

Seeing the deterioration of the relationship between the two of you, Mom is distressed and powerless. Now that it is like this, Mom is gone. What should you do?

You are brothers and sisters. In this world, who else is closer than you!

After that, the diary is full of painful explanations bit by bit.

Last night, I dreamed that my child's grandparents had passed away, and I blamed me for not letting my grandson get married, and cutting off the incense here.

They were talking over there, I just listened, I can only suffer, I can't do anything for my son, this is only what I can do!

If this is the case, will you not want me to enter the Li family's ancestral grave in the future? God, I will face the Li family's ancestors in the future.

God, why are you treating me like this, why are you so unfair!

Then I remember recently, it seems that the pen and ink are not dry yet, and the font is large and powerful.

Recently, I dreamed about my mother, Mom, do you miss me too, want to pick up my daughter, and my daughter misses you too...

"Li Tong, haven't you found your things yet?" After not seeing Li Tong for a while, thinking that something happened to him, the elder sister and her brother-in-law walked to the door of the room, and saw a bleak scene.

Li Tong leaned against the bed and sat on the ground, tears streaming down his face, his eyes seemed to have suffered great grief, pitiful and helpless.

The old lady's complexion changed, she came to the front, took the things in Li Tong's hand and looked through them again and again, the more she looked at them, the more sad she became, and after a long time, she cried out: "Mom..."

After a long time, the brother-in-law was a little at a loss, comforted this one, then went to comfort the other, and after a long time, the two of them recovered.

After making up their minds, the two decided to keep the matter secret, so that their mother would not know that they had discovered such a thing, but they would choose to stay by their side more.

It's just that the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. Li Tong received Zheng Yuzhi's horrified voice: "Li Tong, something big happened."
