Although Aunt Li was crying and angry, she kept paying attention to the conversation between Cai Gen and her son.
I became anxious when I heard that my son was rushing back all night and had been drinking.
Angry words are angry words, and a biological son is still a biological son.
He grabbed Cai Gen's phone and said anxiously.
"Er Donkey, don't drive late at night and drink. It's not safe."
"Mom, the company has a lot of things to do at the end of the year. I was just with an important client, so I didn't receive your call. I
Then I'll go back tomorrow morning, don't worry."
"Your dad is fine now. All that's left is observation. He'll be fine when he gets to the hospital.
If you are busy at work, you should be busy with your own affairs first. I have nothing to do here.
Besides, Cai Gen is here."
"How can I bother others all the time? I know it well and will go back as soon as possible."
"Oh, Cai Gen isn't busy either, your work is the most important.
What if you leave when the company is busy at the end of this year?
If you lose your job again and you still have so much loan to buy a house, what will you do?"
Cai Gen listened beside him, feeling helpless for a while, so he said that he didn't want to rely on Aunt Li because he didn't know how to talk well.
I came to help in the middle of the night, so it’s because I’m not busy?
Hey, this old lady seemed to have calmed down after hearing her son's voice, and felt that she had someone to rely on.
"Mom, I am busy and have no obligation to help us. This is already quite troublesome for me.
Give Cai Gen the phone number."
Aunt Li wanted to say more, but when she saw Cai Gen next to her, she remembered that what she said was a bit inappropriate and handed the phone to Cai Gen.
"Er Donkey, I'm listening."
"Lao Gen, it's hard to buy tickets at the end of the year. If I can buy tickets, I'll arrive at noon tomorrow. If I can't buy tickets, I'll drive back and arrive in the afternoon.
I have to trouble you again. My parents are old and there is no one around me."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll keep an eye on you. I'll send the old lady home later. Please be careful on the way."
"By the way, Lao Gen, how much are the hospital bills and so on just now? I'll forward them to you."
"Let's talk about it when you get back."
"Okay, then I'll say thank you verbally first, and we'll talk about it later when we meet."
After hanging up the phone, Cai Gen looked at Aunt Li who had come back to her senses, looking a bit like the usual spirited old lady.
Having been a teacher for more than 40 years, as long as there are no emergencies, I can still be stable.
No, the inside and outside were separated just now.
At such an old age, everyone has the heart of a parent, and Cai Gen understands it very well.
"Aunt Li, let me take you home, don't stay here.
I’m not busy either, I’ll just watch here.”
After hearing Cai Gen's subtext, Aunt Li's eyes were still filled with tears and she forced out an embarrassed smile.
"Cai Gen, why don't you go home, I'll be fine here.
You've helped me a lot by coming here.
It’s not appropriate for you to stay here any longer.”
Hey, doesn’t it sound much better if you talk like this?
Cai Gen scratched his bald head and felt refreshed.
"Don't, if my mother finds out and runs away without you, she won't scold me to death.
Don't worry, go back and have a good sleep, and come back tomorrow, Erlu will be back."
Aunt Li still wanted to refuse, but Brother Cai had already pulled her off the elevator.
There happened to be a taxi at the door, but Aunt Li said she wouldn't let Cai Gen take her there, so she insisted on taking a taxi home, so she didn't bother Cai Gen.
Brother Cai thought about it, the security was so good and the taxis were fine, so he didn't follow him and went back to the upper floor of the inpatient department to keep watch.
After seeing Aunt Li off, I looked at my phone and saw that it was almost two o'clock.
These two donkeys are also very hardworking. At this point, they are still accompanying customers. Mr. Ma in a big city doesn't look so good.
I called Xiao Sun and told him not to go back tonight, and asked him to tell Zhen Shui Yin to pick up the car tomorrow at my mother's community.
After giving instructions, he hung up the phone and Cai Gen was in a daze in the corridor of the hospital.
After what happened just now, Cai Gen felt confused.
At the beginning, when I chose to return to my hometown from a big city, I was worried about the situation today, where water from afar cannot quench my thirst for nearness, and my sorrow is empty.
I have lived for forty years, how many days can I spend with my parents?
At that time, Cai Gen did some calculations and looked at the numbers above, which was shocking.
In the first ten years, children were ignorant and didn't know shit. In addition to being naughty and mischievous, they only made their parents worry.
In ten years' time, you will be a young and rebellious person who won't listen to anyone else's words. Apart from making your parents angry, you will do nothing good.
Another ten years passed, I got married and had children, and I struggled to survive in a big city under tremendous pressure.
To my parents, I am more like a guest. I stay home for a few days a year, excluding drinking with friends and class reunions, and not having a few meals with my parents at home.
We are said to be a family, but more like distant relatives who see each other once a year.
If he continues to live as he is and looks to the future development trend, Cai Gen is destined to be unable to change anything and will definitely leave regrets.
As his parents got older and older, they raised him once, and finally raised a guest who came home once a year. This result was unacceptable to Cai Gen.
Cai Gen feels that he should have a chance to give back to his parents.
Parents also deserve a chance to enjoy their family.
Such an opportunity is so lucky and precious for both parents and Cai Gen.
Moreover, only such a life can make Cai Gen feel complete.
Of course, Cai Gen still felt a certain amount of psychological pressure after making such a choice.
After all, my many years of work experience would hardly have any chance to be used in a small city, which would bring with it the risk of reduced income and lower quality of life.
But what kind of choice is risk-free?
Which one has gained and not lost?
When choosing between choices, if you understand what you want most, you will have no regrets.
This is also the fulcrum that Cai Genneng has been struggling with.
At this time, Cai Gen, who was sitting in the corridor of the hospital and experiencing the long-lasting pain after the choice, did not regret his original decision.
Aunt Li held her hand tightly just now. How helpless did she feel?
Whose mother would she be without helplessness?
When something goes wrong, how much comfort would it be if the children you have worked so hard to raise and put everything into raising are by your side?
Life forces you to make choices. You are faced with dilemmas, and you can only compromise in the end.
I looked up to the sky anxiously and sighed, feeling helpless.
Thoughts are suffering, unless you have no thoughts, don't want anything, and don't care about anything.
But is that still called living?
Regardless of ordinary people, or the gods and Buddhas in the West, who has no thoughts?
Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, didn't he slander and do bad things and let Cai Gen catch him?
By the way, what bad thing is that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva doing?
Why do you seem to be so nervous when being seen by yourself?
Based on someone's status, they should be able to do anything calmly, right?
Unless, he just doesn't want himself to see it?
The more Cai Gen thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case.
I don't dream innocently.
Dreams in the past all indicate that something related to you is happening, whether good or bad.
So, what does today’s dream mean?
It was over, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, unwilling to be left alone, took action.
