At night, after Ma Xiaohui got off work, he rode his bicycle to the market. When he arrived at the market, he bought a few of his mother's favorite dishes and then rushed home. Once Ma Xiaohui entered the house, he put down the bag in his hand and busied himself with making a fire, cooking, and cooking. It didn't take long for him to finish cooking for his mother.
Ma Xiaohui placed the dining table on the brick bed and then brought the dishes up. "Mom, it's time to eat." Ma Xiaohui said to his mother. Seeing his mother pick up the bowl, Ma Xiaohui also took a few bites.
After the meal, Ma Xiaohui cleaned up the table and bowls. He also cleaned the kitchen inside and out. Then, he was ready to go to the hospital. However, just as he put on his cotton gloves, he heard his mother say to him," Xiaohui, where do you want to go again? " You spent the night outside again," Ma Xiaohui's mother paused for a moment, then she continued," Aren't you a little too much? You haven't been home for the past two nights. What do you want?"”
"Mom, I'm going out for an emergency. I'll explain it to you after I'm done.”Ma Xiaohui answered his mother.
"What are you talking about? Wait until it's over? Don't think I don't know that when you're done, you'll have to bring the child home.”Ma Xiaohui's mother glared at Ma Xiaohui and said.
"Mom, look at what you're saying. It's so unpleasant.”Ma Xiaohui refuted his mother.
"What do you want to listen to? If you want to listen to songs, you have to spend money. What else do you want me to say about you? You left me, your half-dead mother, behind and fooled around with her all night. If it weren't for your Auntie Gao accompanying me, no one would know even if I died in this house.”Ma Xiaohui's mother said again.
"How can I not care about you? If I starve you one day, who did I fool around with? I can say whatever I want. Do you know what I did? You can scold me however you want, but don't insult me.”Ma Xiaohui said to his mother impatiently.
"Aiyo, what's going on now? What are you two arguing about?”Mrs. Gao shouted as she walked into the house.
"Isn't that so? Seeing that he was about to leave again, I just casually said a few words. Look, he started shouting at me angrily.”Ma Xiaohui's mother started crying as she spoke.
When Mrs. Gao saw that Ma Xiaohui's mother was crying, she said to Ma Xiaohui," Xiaohui, it's not that I want to talk too much, but look at how angry your mother is. She's not young anymore. Why can't you let her be more careful?"”
When Ma Xiaohui heard Mrs. Gao's words, he was furious. He thought to himself,'If it weren't for you interfering, my mother wouldn't have said so much, and Tong Ling wouldn't have ended up like this.' He wanted to say a few words to Mrs. Gao, but on second thought, no matter what, Mrs. Gao has taken care of him and his mother all these years. He weighed the pros and cons and felt that Mrs. Gao's merits outweighed her faults. Sigh, forget it. Thinking of this, Ma Xiaohui did not say anything to Mrs. Gao.
"I've seen through it. He wants to anger me to death. If I die, he can move in with Tong Ling. God, why don't you open your eyes? Just let me die.”Ma Xiaohui's mother cried as she scolded.
Ma Xiaohui did not retort. He was still thinking about Tong Ling in the hospital, so he turned around and walked out of the house.
In the hospital ward, Tong Ling and Liu Hongwei had finished their dinner and were chatting. Ma Xiaohui rushed in from outside. "Hehe, why are you in such a hurry?”Liu Hongwei smiled at Ma Xiaohui, who had just entered.
Hearing Liu Hongwei talking to him, Ma Xiaohui immediately replied with a smile," I was just afraid that you would be anxious.”"There's no rush. I'm already full and my family isn't hungry. What's there to be anxious about?”Liu Hongwei smiled as he answered Ma Xiaohui.
Seeing that Ma Xiaohui had come to take over, Liu Hongwei stood up and prepared to return to the hotel. "Brother Liu, since the whole family is full, why are you still in a hurry? Just sit for a while.”Ma Xiaohui smiled at Liu Hongwei.
Actually, Liu Hongwei was not in a hurry to go back. He just wanted to give Ma Xiaohui and Tong Ling some space. So he smiled and said," Nowadays, we're advocating a revolution in conservation. I think the lights in this ward are fine. It's better to save some energy, hehe.”Liu Hongwei left the ward and went back to the hotel.
Ma Xiaohui sent Liu Hongwei to the stairwell of the hospital corridor, then he turned around and returned to the ward.
Tong Ling did not understand what Liu Hongwei meant, so she raised her head and looked at the fluorescent lights in the ward. She pondered for a long time but still could not understand. Ma Xiaohui said that he saw Tong Ling staring at the roof, so he joked with her," What are you looking at? Are you hoping that a pie will fall from that place? Hahaha."”"I'm thinking about what Brother Liu said just now. The lighting in this ward is fine, but why did you say that it saves energy?”Tong Ling asked Ma Xiaohui, puzzled. " Hahaha, you bookworm. You can't even tell such a low-level joke. What kind of teacher are you?" Ma Xiaohui laughed. "Is it a two-part saying?" Tong Ling asked Ma Xiaohui doubtfully.
"Oh my god, you're so stupid. Brother Liu meant that he can't be a third wheel here. Now you understand.”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling.
"Oh, so that's what you mean.”Tong Ling finally understood the meaning behind Liu Hongwei's words.
It was no wonder that Tong Ling could not understand. Almost none of the teachers in the school said such witty words. She had no place to listen even if she wanted to, so of course, she did not understand.
"Have you taken your medicine for tonight?" Ma Xiaohui asked Tong Ling.
" I haven't eaten yet. I'll eat later," Tong Ling replied.
When Ma Xiaohui mentioned taking medicine, Tong Ling remembered about the sleeping pills, so she asked Ma Xiaohui," Have you bought the sleeping pills?”"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it.”As Ma Xiaohui spoke, he took out a bottle of sleeping pills from his shirt pocket and handed it to Tong Ling.
"However, you can't take this medicine often. If you become dependent on it, it will be troublesome.”Ma Xiaohui instructed Tong Ling.
"Yes, I understand." Tong Ling replied.
Ever since Tong Ling received the bottle of sleeping pills from Ma Xiaohui, she had been reading the instructions on the bottle repeatedly. Ma Xiaohui asked her curiously," Why does it look like it's gone? What's there to see on it?"
Hearing Ma Xiaohui's words, Tong Ling did not say anything. She placed the bottle of sleeping pills under her pillow.
"I want to discuss something with you.”Tong Ling said to Ma Xiaohui.
"What is it? Tell me." Ma Xiaohui replied.
"Actually, this accident was my fault, but I asked Brother Liu to take care of me. If I asked him to pay for the medical expenses, that would be fine, but I can't let him stay here anymore. Look at how much money he has to spend every day. Originally, he couldn't earn money if he missed work, but he had to spend so much money every day. I didn't feel good about it. Today, I told him to go back early, but he insisted on waiting for me to get better before he was willing to leave. I thought about it and thought about it. I just want to lie. I'll let Feng Chenchen's mother tell the doctor tomorrow that I'll pretend to be discharged first and come back after Brother Liu leaves. What do you think?”Tong Ling discussed with Ma Xiaohui.
"If you were to be discharged tomorrow, Brother Liu might not agree. You haven't seen it yet. He's a very honest person. But what you said makes sense. Then let's try it tomorrow.”Ma Xiaohui replied.
"Aiya, you're too busy chatting. You haven't taken your medicine for tonight.”Ma Xiaohui went to pour Tong Ling a glass of water as he spoke. Then, he took the medicine from the bedside table." Wifey, come, take your medicine."”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling as he held a cup of water in one hand and medicine in the other.
Tong Ling took the cup and medicine from Ma Xiaohui's hands. She tilted her head and swallowed the medicine.
Ma Xiaohui saw that Tong Ling had finished the medicine, so he carried the thermos and washbasin to the bathroom. Not long after, Ma Xiaohui returned with a thermos in one hand and a washbasin in the other. He placed the thermos flask on the ground and then placed the washbasin in front of Tong Ling's bed. He picked up the thermos flask and poured some hot water into the washbasin. When he felt the temperature of the water with his hand, he immediately retracted his hand." Hahaha, this person can't play around. We still have to go to the washroom."”Ma Xiaohui said with a smile as he picked up the washbasin and went to the bathroom.
Ma Xiaohui wanted to bring back the water from the thermos and the water for washing his feet, but he was carrying the basin with one hand. Naturally, he could not have too much water. When he heated the water in the basin, the water temperature in the basin was too hot, so he had to go to the bathroom to add cold water.
Not long after, Ma Xiaohui came back with a washbasin. He first wiped Tong Ling's face and hands with a wet towel, then washed her feet.
Tong Ling looked at Ma Xiaohui, who was washing his feet, and her heart felt sour. Yesterday, she thought that this would be the last time he would wash her feet, but today, he washed her feet again. If she didn't get discharged soon, she didn't know how many times she would have to wash her feet!
"A pair of white hands, two clean feet, the washbasin, not a single drop of water left. Hahaha, dear sister, please go to bed and rest.”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling with a smile.
When Tong Ling heard Ma Xiaohui's laughter, she raised her head and looked at him. It seemed that Tong Ling wanted to say something to Ma Xiaohui, but she swallowed her words after thinking about it. She just lowered her head and thought about something silently.
"Reporting to my dear wife, I have another request. Go to the toilet and sing a song (urinate), then come back immediately, hehehe.”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling with a smile. Then, he turned around and walked out of the ward.
Seeing that Ma Xiaohui had left, Tong Ling pulled the blanket from the bed over and covered her head tightly. Then, she lay down on the bed. When Ma Xiaohui came back with the washbasin, he found that Tong Ling was already sleeping soundly. He felt that something was wrong. He quietly walked to Tong Ling's bed and gently lifted the blanket covering Tong Ling's head. This gave Ma Xiaohui a fright.
