"People have gone far away, are you still watching?" Li Wei reminded her elder brother who was a little gaffe.
Li Jianping did not lower his head to eat but asked Li Wei: "Do you think this steak is delicious?"
"It's not as delicious as my mother's potato roast beef." This is Li Wei's truest thought.
"Yes, I'm not used to such western food."
Li Wei wanted to say why she came, but she knew in her heart that it was not what to eat for her elder brother, but who to eat with. The relationship between these two people is just a normal business relationship? Li Wei raised a question mark in his mind about the relationship between the two.
About two minutes later, Yang Man returned. She was already anxious: "My mother suddenly became ill and has been sent to the hospital by a neighbor."
Yang Man took the bag on his seat and was about to leave. Li Jianping hurriedly got up and said, "Don't worry." He hurriedly paid for the meal, and then went out to stop a taxi. Everyone got in the car and went to the district hospital.
Yang's mother has been sent to the emergency department. Li Jianping and Yang Man ran up and down to help inquire, and finally met with Yang's mother's receiving doctor. The doctor said, "It is a stomach perforation and requires surgery."
Yang Man was trembling slightly when he heard the word operation. Li Jianping was still calm and asked the doctor: "What are the risks of the operation? How will you recover in the future?"
Li Wei saw Yang Man desperate, and she walked over to comfort Yang Man: "Fortunately, I was sent to the hospital in time. I have already arrived at the hospital. As long as I have the operation, I will be fine. You have to trust the doctor."
The doctor sent a stack of orders for Yang Man to sign. Yang Man’s hand holding the pen was trembling. Fortunately, Li Jianping encouraged her:
It’s okay. There is no doctor. After the procedure is completed, the operation can be performed in time. Delayed."
Yang Man couldn't see clearly what was written on the notice, and tremblingly wrote his name. She glanced at her mother, and then urged her to pay the fee.
Yang Man flipped through the bag. There was not much money in the bag. Li Jianping touched his clothes pocket inside and found out a bank card. He handed the card to Li Wei: "There is an ATM at the entrance of Xinhua Street. The password is your second brother's birthday. You help me withdraw five thousand."
Li Wei took the card and went out. Li Jianping stayed with Yang Man. Yang's mother has been pushed into the operating room, and Yang Man has been sitting on the bench outside the operating room and waiting.
When she was seven years old, her father had a traffic accident and was hit by a big truck. When she was sent to the hospital, she pushed into the operating room. It's a pity that I went in and never came out. After her father left, her mother raised her by herself, dressing and eating, until she was in high school. Their mother and daughter depend on each other. In recent years, Li's family has taken on debts. In order to pay off the debts, my mother got up early and greedy.
Seeing the piercing words "operating room", she was scared. She is afraid of repeating the same fate, afraid that her relatives will leave her again, so she hates the hospital and the operating room even more.
"It's okay, just wait quietly." Li Jianping leaned over and stretched out his arms to wrap her shoulders.
The shoulders of the opposite allowed Yang Man to find a place to rely on. She turned her head and buried her head on his chest, but tears came out quietly.
As time passed, Li Jianping asked why his sister hadn't come back, his mind was a little impulsive. It's all dark outside, and I shouldn't let my sister go to withdraw money alone, what if there is an accident. He wanted to tell Yang Man that he was going to pick up Li Wei, but Yang Man was leaning on him tightly, and he couldn't let go.
Fifteen minutes passed, and hearing the rush of footsteps from the stairs, Li Jianping looked for the sound and watched Li Wei's return before letting go of his hanging heart.
Seeing this scene, Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then walked over, opened the bag, and handed out a wad of money.
Yang Man sat upright now. After receiving the money, Li Jianping said to Li Wei without counting, "You wait for me here." After that, he was busy paying the bill.
Yang Man sat listlessly, wiping his tears, and was exceptionally quiet on the deserted corridor. Li Wei sat on the bench for a while, neither of them spoke. About twenty minutes later, the door of the operating room opened. A nurse in a green uniform walked out of it.
Yang Man hurriedly got up and asked, "What about my mother?"
The nurse said: "The operation was very successful, it is being stitched up, and it will come out soon."
Yang Man breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Li Wei smiled at Yang Man and said, "I said it would be fine."
Yang Man said sincerely: "Thank you, if your brothers and sisters weren't here, I really don't know what to do."
After more than ten minutes, the door of the operating room opened and a hospital bed was pushed out. Yang Man hurriedly surrounded him, but Yang's mother was still anesthetized. The nurse pushed the bed into the ward, hung up the infusion bottle, and then explained a few precautions.
Li Jianping also came, and Yang Man's frantic heart gradually settled after seeing his mother.
Yang Man and Li Jianping said, "I have delayed your time for so long, now it's okay, I just need to guard her."
Li Jianping wants to stay with Yang Man to take care of him, but now he is not qualified, so he has to accept Yang Man's suggestion: "Well, if you need help in difficulty, just call me."
"Well, be careful on the road, I won't send you off. There is still money owed to you..."
"Let's talk about money later, don't worry now." Li Jianping put his hands in his trouser pockets, his tone was very flat.
The night is like ink, and the winter night is endlessly cold. The siblings walked out of the hospital, and it was a good taxi near the hospital. It didn't take long for Li Jianping to stop one.
The siblings were sitting in the back row. Li Jianping wanted to smoke, but Li Wei stopped him.
"Big brother, what do you want me to tell her if you ask about the matter tonight?"
"How to say it, tell the truth. It's not out of the ordinary."
"Do you like her?"
Li Jianping said calmly, "Who doesn't like beautiful women."
He did not deny.
They did not return to the hotel, but went to the rented place. After returning home, Li Jianping quickly called the hotel. It was his father who answered the call. He simply said that tonight will not be over.
Li Wei freshened up and went back to the living room to watch TV. Li Jianping smoked on the balcony. The content on TV is a bit boring, so she glanced at the balcony. The matter of Wang Yulan has been in the past few years. In the past few years, the family has arranged several blind dates for her eldest brother, but there is no result. The appearance of Yang Man may not be a bad thing.
There is no place for Li Wei to talk about the eldest brother's marriage, but she always hopes that her elder brother will meet a woman who can share the joys and sorrows with her.
After Li Jianping finished smoking, he came back to drink a few sips of boiled water, and sat over and watched TV with Li Wei.
