From the initial cold and fever to the subsequent coma.
The disease came on so violently.
Not even giving Ye Siling any time to prepare.
As the weather got colder, Ye Siling's mother became thinner and thinner.
During that period of time, Ye Siling was unable to sleep or eat.
Fortunately, He Xinian was with me.
Otherwise, she had no idea how she would have gotten through it alone.
They tried all kinds of methods, consulted many doctors, and tried both Western and Chinese medicine.
But Ye Siling's mother's condition still didn't improve.
The village doctor said, "It's not a disease, it's just that the oil has run out."
Ye Siling didn't believe it.
She cried and shook her head, saying sadly, "It can't be done! My mother is not very old, how could she have gotten to this point! She must be saved, she must be saved!"
Ye Siling's father was only in his fifties, not ninety, and was far from dying.
The village doctor shook his head and said nothing more.
Ye Siling's tears fell like beads that had broken off the string.
She lost her mother at a young age and grew up with her mother.
I have never left my mother for a single day.
Why is God so cruel.
In chaos.
He Xinian said, "Let's go to the county town. There is a hospital in the county town. Maybe we can still save him."
Ye Siling's parents were ill for too long, and it was already night by then.
It was snowing.
Heavy snow blocked the road.
It is not convenient to travel between several villages, let alone to the farther county town.
Ye Siling's eyes were wet, filled with confusion, yet also hope.
He Xinian took a soft towel, wiped her tears, and poured a cup of warm water into her hand.
He comforted.
"Si Ling, I'll carry my mother on my back and walk out."
This sentence is short, but it expresses He Xinian's unswerving determination.
Even the county hospital might not be able to save his life, but for Ye Siling, he was willing to try hard.
Just like last year's day.
He Xinian would jump into the icy river without hesitation.
Ye Siling's heart was beating.
She wanted her father to live so much.
So even though she knew He Xinian's suggestion was dangerous, she still wanted to try it.
However.
The person who refused to go to the county hospital was Ye Siling's father.
Ye Siling's mother spoke in a hoarse voice and weak breath during the rare time she was awake.
"I know my own body clearly..."
"Don't spend this much time on me... It's not worth it..."
"A Ling, my A Ling..."
The two words that the elderly call out most often are "A Ling".
Ye Siling understood what her mother didn't fully say.
Rather than going to the risky county hospital, he wanted to spend the remaining time with Ye Siling.
Ye Siling shed tears while holding her mother's hand tightly.
When they stopped looking for medical treatment, they seemed to have returned to their previous peaceful days.
But this calmness represents an unknown countdown.
Don't know when.
Ye Siling's father could never open his eyes again.
This cold day lasted very long.
Three days before the New Year.
That moment finally arrived.
The seriously ill mother suddenly asked for glutinous rice balls.
It was clearly something to eat on the fifteenth day after Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival, but Ye Siling's father suddenly wanted to eat it.
Ye Siling took out the glutinous rice from home.
He Xinian made a stone mill.
The two of them made a hot bowl of glutinous rice balls with sweet sesame filling.
Ye Siling knew that her mother liked osmanthus, so she put osmanthus honey in the glutinous rice balls.
A full bowl of soup.
Ye Siling's mother just drank a little soup.
He said, "A Ling, it's very sweet, very sweet, I can taste it..."
Ye Siling wanted to cry when she heard her mother's voice. He Xinian beside her held her hand silently, helping her to hold back her tears.
That night.
Ye Siling's mother said a lot.
He thanked He Xinian for saving his life last year and for taking care of Ye Siling after they got married.
He also apologized to He Xinian...
"Anian, I know Aling is not worthy of you, thank you for your hard work..."
Having said so much.
But there was no entrustment.
Generally, before passing away, elderly people will entrust the children they miss to others to take care of.
But Ye Siling's mother didn't.
One year together.
It seemed that he still hadn't fully accepted He Xinian as his son-in-law.
later.
Ye Siling's parents left Ye Siling alone, and the two of them talked about some private things.
He asked, "A Ling, are you happy to be married?"
Ye Siling nodded repeatedly, "I'm happy. Xi Nian treats me very well."
Ye Siling's mother nodded, closed her eyes, and took a few breaths.
꺳 continued.
"A Ling, it's my mother who is sorry for you... I owed him, but I asked you to pay it back..."
"Aling, I know that you have always been a strong girl. Even if you are the only one left in the future, you will not be afraid..."
"A Ling, be happy, stay happy..."
"A Ling, do whatever you want to do, don't do it if you don't want to do it, don't let anything hold you back..."
"A Ling, it's okay, no one will blame you..."
"A Ling, it's your parents who have dragged you down... I'm sorry, A Ling..."
He said a lot of things.
It was the final instruction to Ye Siling.
But at that time, Ye Siling didn't understand the other meaning behind her mother's words at all.
I don’t understand the words “I’m sorry” or “I’m sorry”.
When later...
After Ye Siling knew the truth about her marriage with He Xinian.
Thinking back carefully to what my mother said, my heart was filled with soreness and pain.
Her mother, even when she closed her eyes for the last time, was not at peace.
My father should have realized everything at that time.
But I don't know how to tell her.
Just apologize over and over again.
And pray that Ye Siling can become brave and strong in the days to come.
That year.
They didn't wait until the New Year, but waited for their parents to leave.
After the funeral, Ye Siling has been absent-minded and depressed, and He Xinian is in charge of everything at home.
He is a grown man, and he does the laundry, cooking, and cleaning the house.
Even though in the eyes of outsiders, he should be a tall and handsome city guy, he was willing to do these things for Ye Siling.
With the support of He Xinian, Ye Siling walked out of the sadness of her parent's death.
Spring is here too.
Ye Siling looked at the three-person household that had lost one person and it seemed especially empty.
She thought that it was time to have a child with He Xinian.
After having a child, this family will become different. If my parents knew about this in the afterlife, they would definitely feel relieved.
