Loving You is the Best Thing I Have Done - Chapter 16
He lifted his watch to look at the time, and pressed the date to find it. It turned out that tonight is the New Year’s Eve. The school experiment building was cold and deserted. Only a few research projects in the research room were lit, and few people came and went. The graduate student went to the class early, and he was the only one in the large ultra-clean laboratory.
It has been three years since He Suye’s Spring Festival came like this. He was buried in pharmacology, dosage and duty all day and night. Whenever grandma and grandmother called, he always said that he was too busy to go back. He felt that the Spring Festival became dispensable for him.
Because, there is no home, no family staying together, the smell of dumplings at twelve o’clock, and the endless calls to the Chinese New Year, he does not want to spend it.
I don’t know who’s mobile phone is ringing in the laboratory next door, and Eason Chan sang, “Merry, MerryChristmas, lonely, lonelyChristmas, I want to wish no one knows who I am, love has been tied to death by us…” The empty corridor, which has been circulating for a long time.
There was a sour heart in his heart, and he sighed heavily, suddenly heard a footstep in the corridor, fine high-heeled shoes, a little disordered, involuntarily stopped his hands, looking forward to something.
The footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and as expected, the coming person would push the door in, carrying a lunch box and smiling to him, “He Suye, eat dumplings, don’t be busy, tonight is a big New Year! Come on! , Or I’ll eat it all.”
He always laughed at her, “Is it a bit of a blasphemous scientific instrument to eat dumplings in a clean room.”
At that time, he did not want to go home for the Chinese New Year, and only stayed in the laboratory. Zhang Yiling accompanied him for the Chinese New Year. The two people ate dumplings and dumplings in the laboratory, and then he sent her to the train station in the middle of the night. In a year, he was left alone.
However, how to escape was still empty, without a sense of belonging. He took off his gloves, took out the phone, dialed out the number of Grandpa He’s house, and there was someone picking it up right away. , Who are you looking for?”
He burst out laughing, and suddenly his heart was full of warmth, “It’s me, uncle, Polygonum!”
The child hummed, “Little Uncle bullied me, I am not called Heshouwu, I am He Shouzheng!”
There was an interface right across from him, “Su Ye?! Mom, Dad, Su Ye phone!”
He didn’t want the old man to hurry up, so he said to his nephew kindly, “Little uncle will go back later and tell grandma and grandpa that they don’t have to wait for me if they have already eaten.”
“Little Uncle is going to pay for the New Year! Otherwise I won’t open the door for you!”
“Got it, Xiaocai fans! Hang up first and wait for the meeting.”
“Well! See you all!”
The supermarket has been closed for a long time. Fortunately, the small stall next to the hospital is still open. The owner greeted him enthusiastically with a noodle bowl. “Boy, I just came back from the field. It’s cheaper for you to buy gifts.
He smiled bitterly, and his look like Luotuo really looked like a foreigner.
Sitting alone in the bus, the streets often come and go in a hurry. The driver laughed, “Boy, you are in luck. This is the last bus tonight. After get off work, we also go home for the New Year.”
He thought it was God’s will, a good sign for the coming year.
It’s been a long time since such a family has had a meal together. The He family is not busy, but the table is not yet close. His little nephew, the ghost elf, talks amusedly, his happy meal is finished, and the family sits again. Waiting for the Spring Festival Gala in front of the sofa.
He Shouzheng ran upside down with juice, planted in He Suye’s arms, “Uncle, let me set off fireworks.”
Many children gathered in the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee. The sound of fire crackling against the sky was translucent. He Shouzheng was happy to play, running deep and shallow in the snow, and holding a magic wand in his hand. , Mars is jumping, lined with a round face, childlike, joy, joy, joy and happiness.
He Suye remembered that he was so happy when he was a child, but happiness is always so short.
had been playing around for a while, He Shouzheng’s shoes were covered with snow, pitifully shouting “Little Uncle”, he had to pick up his little nephew and go home. As soon as I sat down, my phone rang. Li Jie’s blessing text message, and then it was just Fang Kexin, Qiu Tian’s phone, and some old classmates and colleagues.
He Shouzheng changed his shoes and leaned on him obediently, playing with his mobile phone. Suddenly, the mobile phone vibrated, and the child was slurred. “Little uncle, Shen Qifan’s phone!”
He took it, squeezed He Shouzheng’s face, “Sister’s name is Shen Xifan, not Shen Qifan!” Standing up, he went to the yard and answered the phone.
She was very lively there, presumably in the hotel, and the sound of the collision of wine glasses, Shen Xifan said with a smile, “Although it is not yet twelve o’clock, but I am afraid that it will be a hotline to call you by that time, so I called early. And, I’m afraid I can’t hold up to twelve o’clock, because I drank a lot of wine today, and I’m already confused.”
No wonder the little girl came to talk so much, he asked, “How much did you drink?”
Shen Xifan supported me, “It seems to be half a catty of white, half a bottle of red, and I feel full of drinking, so I feel very deficient, and I don’t have much to eat. The group of people in my family are all drunks. Coming down the second lap, more than 20 people, even my little cousin, was drunk and dizzy.”
She chattered, there was still a gesture over there, and there was a child smiling beside him, “Little aunt, you drink too much.”
Shen Xifan stared at her, “I can still drink!” Then she turned to He Suye and said sincerely, “I can still drink, really, believe it or not, you come to me at night, get peanuts, sour beans to make side dishes , Open the bottle of Wuliangye, let’s not get drunk!”
Colorful fireworks flew one after another, shinning on his face, He Suye gently smiled, “Little girl, don’t do it, go back to sleep, drink it, and drink it, I will boil Chinese medicine for you.”
After speaking for a long time, Shen Xifan only hung up the phone, He Suye touched his frozen hand, turned into the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water, covered it in his hand, opened his mouth to call He Shouzheng, and found that his voice seemed hoarse. It is estimated that just because I was anxious to answer Shen Xifan’s phone call, I forgot to put on my coat and stood in the ice and snow for half an hour. Even a person in good health could not bear it.
But his heart was sweet, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He Shouzheng saw it quickly and said, “Uncle, you look like you have stolen a fishy cat, and your father will laugh like that!”
The next day it was really a cough, he did not care, rushed to buy a lot of things before the supermarket closed, and called the uncle, and asked him to go to the grandfather’s family to have a New Year.
He Suye’s grandfather is a senior officer in the military region. He is strict and hard-working, and has strict requirements on his children. He Suye is his grandson, but he is extremely affectionate and undisguised. Since the death of his mother, He Suye’s number of visits to his grandfather has not decreased but increased. He will go to dinner every New Year, but in the whole family, he has seen his father the least.
There were red envelopes for the juniors, a lively banquet, and many Yu family members. He Suye had three uncles, one aunt, and the juniors set a few tables.
Grandpa Yu is still the style of the parents. After eating, he went to the study. The children and grandchildren took it for granted. The atmosphere was more active. The uncle He Suye sat next to him. “Sample, I haven’t seen you bring a girlfriend back to us. Look?”
Everyone laughed. His little niece asked curiously, “What is a girlfriend!”
Another nephew was smug, “The girlfriend doesn’t know, it’s the woman who can play with her uncle!”
Children’s words are unscrupulous, and everyone laughed, even the babysitter covered his mouth and laughed secretly, He Suye also laughed, “This matter is not in a hurry, wait for a suitable one!”
Others kept on, and swayed, “No, no, fine wine, fine wine! Fill him up!”
After a meal, he also drank a little more and went to the bathroom with a wet face. Grandma Yu called him, “Su Ye, your grandfather asked you to go to his study.”
Grandpa Yu sat at the chess table, saw him coming in, and greeted him, “Su Ye, come with me.”
He held white, Grandpa Yu held black, because he didn’t play chess often, he lost at a glance, Grandpa Yu nodded, “Despite losing, it is still good, I haven’t played in a long time.”
He Suye thinks carefully, “It should be a year.”
Grandpa Yu took the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. “Let me see this leg. The sequelae of fighting in the early years will be sore on the cold days.”
While riding in his clinic, Grandpa Yu slowly said, “Su Ye, we never complained about your father.”
He gave a soft “huh” sound, and Grandpa Yu continued, “Like me, the old-fashioned is not very human, and still hopes that in his later years, his grandson and grandson will be under your knees, your father will be your son, and your mother will be gone. It will be lonely in later years.”
His nose is a bit sore, he dare not look up at his grandfather, “I know, grandpa.”
“When my relatives came to drink tea last time, they told me about your father and son. I decided to scold you anyway, but you are a sensible child who knows how to do it.”
“I will talk to my dad when I have a chance.”
The streets on New Year’s Day were already full of people, the sun that had not been seen for a long time was hidden in the clouds, and the water dripping on the walls of the trees, even the dim sunlight, was warm and would make the snow and ice thaw.
Drinking wine and blowing the wind, he coughed more and went around the road to the largest Chinese medicine shop in the city, preparing to grab some Chinese medicine and press it.
There are only three female pharmacists on duty in a Chinese pharmacy, and a middle-aged man is losing his temper. “How can you do this in a pharmacy? You can’t even stop a prescription. I’m treating it. Are you delaying it? Your boss? Well, I have to complain!”
A girl trembles when she talks, “I’m sorry, I’ll look for it again, look for it again!”
He Suye went up and said to another pharmacist, “Give me 10 grams of ephedra, 10 grams of almonds, 10 grams of aster, 10 grams of white, 10 grams of 100 parts, 20 grams of orange peel, 10 grams of bellflower, 20 grams of licorice. , Three pairs, bring your own.”
The middle-aged man looked at him strangely. He smiled and said nothing. Finally, the middle-aged man asked him, “Boy, my father had a stomach problem. I sent me to take medicine on New Year’s Day, but Fang Zi was lost by them. , Can you do me a favor, do you have all the medicine?”
He coughed all the way home and smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that the doctor would also be sick. Later, he could not brave himself in front of the patient. He remembered that he had not been sick for many years. He just planted it on the lungs.
At this time, the phone rang. He looked at Shen Xifan’s text message, “He Suye, am I drunk last night? You are talking about a lot of donkey lips and horse mouths. Don’t mind it. ”
He returned, “No, when you are drunk, you talk very little, you just hum.”
“Impossible, my mother said that I was holding the phone last night and chattering is not finished, where are you now?”
“I was on the bus and had a cough and went home to take medicine.”
As soon as he walked to the door of the community, he saw Shen Xifan standing at the door and shivering. He quickly walked up and suppressed his cough. “What happened to the little girl?”
Shen Xifan raised his head and his face was red with cold, “You don’t mean you are sick, I’ll come to visit.”
He was annoyed for no reason. “You are a fool. It’s so cold. It’s strange that you stay outside and don’t get sick. You don’t know that the hospital only has an emergency department, and it is not an expert professor. If you have a cold during the New Year, You cry because of fever!”
was so irritated by him, Shen Xifan felt extremely wronged, weakly defended, “If you are sick, you will prescribe Chinese medicine, I am not afraid of hardship, I drink it, just like wine, I simmer!”
He Suye realized that his tone was too harsh just now, and Shen Xifan’s answer made his heart “chuck” with a sudden jump. He didn’t look away, a little embarrassed, “Girl, I just spoke It’s too urgent, don’t be angry, come up quickly, it’s cold.”
He first picked a bit of ephedra and licorice, rolled it with boiling water, and after loading it, handed it to Shen Xifan, instructing her, “Hurry down and be careful about catching a cold.”
Shen Xifan brought it over, looked at the various medicines in the plastic bag curiously, and finally pinched out an almond, “He Suye, is this almond? Can I try it?” He threw it into his mouth.
He Suye didn’t have time to stop her, and she frowned and shouted, “I’m suffering, what a weird smell! Is this almond? He Suye, you fooling me!”
He smiled, “This is bitter almonds, do you think it is the one in the dry goods? Greevil! Almonds are used to stop cough and asthma, bitter taste and openness, lower lung gas and Xuanfei, I am a cold cough, so I use ephedra , Licorice, bellflower, aster.”
Shen Xifan had to roll his eyes, “It seems that I am unlucky this year…”
Taking advantage of He Suye Jian’s traditional Chinese medicine, Shen Xifan slipped into the study. She wanted to find a few simple books about traditional Chinese medicine to avoid being laughed at.
She looked for books one by one, and finally saw the one that suits herself-Chinese pharmacy (for Chinese medicine majors). Turning it over, it turned out that it was He Suye’s undergraduate textbook. The above paragraph was marked with emphasis and blank space. It was full of notes, and it seemed that I was studying very seriously.
She turned page by page, “Performance of traditional Chinese medicine, compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, dosage and usage of medication, is it quite comprehensive-hey, what photo is this?”
A photo, very common, a group of people, He Suye, Li Jie, Qiu Tian, Fang Kexin, and a girl, very beautiful, this person, she has never seen, any party, any occasion.
But the woman’s intuition told her that this girl is related to He Suye.
has no clues, Li Jie has never mentioned it, and other people have never mentioned it. She was curious a long time ago, why a good man like He Suye would not have a girlfriend.
Is the answer right here? This girl, the one that everyone deliberately avoided, was his pain.
He Suye shouted in the kitchen, “Little girl, your medicine is going to be cold, drink it!”
She hurriedly closed the book and stuffed it into the bookcase. In the kitchen, He Suye was adding water to the rice cooker. The smell of Chinese medicine escaped. She smelled it—bitter, really bitter.
Why are there so many people in the world who are trapped by love, just like themselves, they are cocooning and self-restraining, and they are stuck in the past and refuse to look back.
She read such a post, “Someone loves one person for ten years. They opened a barren land for him in the dark heart. On the lonely journey, they repeated a dream. The one in the dream has gone far away. People and the love he had brought. They bear, burden, and have a little pleasure for this.
But all the changes happened overnight, all the warmth suddenly turned into ice icicles, they suddenly became old and near death. When he died, his name still murmured. This situation is very great. ”
She didn’t have the courage to ask about He Suye’s past, just as she didn’t want to mention her past with anyone. A place in her heart gradually cooled down, and her heart was so cool.
Why does this happen, why does Su Ye feel heartache and sadness, why he wants to cry, why he wants to smooth the sadness between his eyebrows, he always smiles faintly, but she feels very reluctant.
Suddenly she did not dare to expect him to treat her well. She could not afford it and was not worthy. All this should be the happiness of others.
She has no courage to face.
