“Gulp, gulp”
With the sound, li Zhaodi woke up and saw her daughter being pushed out of the door. Her pale and thin face and body were so thin that people would believe that she was dry wood. She was hidden under the snow-white sheets without any sense of existence.
Even if she was so thin, there were wrinkles on her face, and even her hair was a little gray. She didn’t look much younger than li Zhaodi. She didn’t look like her daughter, but more like her sister.
Li Hua’s eyes were listless and slightly opened, as if he didn’t see his mother not far away. If it wasn’t for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have thought that she was no longer around and that the doctor couldn’t save her.
Li Zhaodi, who had just forced a smile and was about to walk forward, saw Li Hua in this state and instantly froze in place. Even though she had seen Li Hua like this for a long time, she still felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Her daughter was not even forty years old, but now she looked like an old woman in her sixties. Li Zhaodi could not help but feel sad when she thought that she could not keep her daughter even if she did.
After the nurse sent Li Hua to the ward and put him on the bed, li Zhaodi, who had returned to the ward, went forward and put the lunch box on the cabinet at the side.
The ward was a six-person Ward, but for some reason, the other rooms were empty for the time being, so only li Zhaodi and her daughter were in the empty Ward.
From the beginning to the end, Li Hua’s expression did not change. It was as if he had left the world and was ready to return at any time. Li Zhaodi thought about the doctor’s words just now and became a little flustered. She bit her lips hard and used the pain to concentrate. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
He immediately reached into his clothes with a trembling hand and carefully took out a small bag wrapped in newspaper. Because it was hidden in his clothes and almost close to his body, it still carried li Zhaodi’s body temperature.
…
After taking it out, li Zhaodi felt relieved. It was good that she didn’t throw it away. Then, she stretched out her dry hands and carefully opened it. It was wrapped in two layers. She was slow and took a while to open it, revealing the content inside. It was a simple greeting card. She made it herself. On it was her daughter’s favorite wild chrysanthemum when she was young.
It looked a little messy, but for li Zhaodi, who had only attended literacy classes and could only recognize a few words, this was already all her effort. She even used colored strokes, borrowed from Tian Fang’s grandson.
Opening the simple greeting card, there was a line of bold and cursive handwriting inside, and there was a floating signature at the bottom. At a glance, it was obvious that the weird chrysanthemum was the work of two people.
Although li Zhaodi’s movements were very careful, her movements were not small. As long as it was a normal person, they would want to see it. However, Li Hua was still lying there silently, not moving at all. It seemed that he did not even blink.
Li Zhaodi’s eyes were slightly red. She blinked hard to get rid of the tears in her eyes and said,””Daughter, didn’t you like this designer called Qin Zhu the most back then and wanted to learn from him? mom didn’t let you learn before, but now I know my mistake. I’ve asked for his signature for you. Take a look.”
Li Hua’s fingers moved slightly. There was no change on her face, but her eyes turned slightly and looked at the greeting card in li Zhaodi’s hand. Although she still didn’t say anything, to be able to have a little reaction was already something that made li Zhaodi cry with joy.
One must know that ever since Li Hua was hospitalized in a critical condition a month ago, he had not had any reaction. How could li Zhaodi not be excited by such an improvement?
Li Zhaodi was excited for a while before she reacted and immediately stepped forward. She carefully opened the card and put it in Li Hua’s hand. The beautiful words on it immediately entered Li Hua’s eyes,”I wish you good health, Qin Zhu.”
It was just a few words, but Li Hua looked at it slowly as if he was looking at a precious treasure. He looked at it slowly, slowly, as if he was using all his strength to remember it. His pale and thin hand, covered with calluses, gently rubbed the card. His movements were very small, but it was enough for li Zhaodi.
Without li Zhaodi’s voice, the ward became quiet again. The evening, which was already without much sunlight, became darker and darker with the passage of time. The white light in the ward had long been turned on. Li Hua was still lying there without a word, holding the card in his hand. If it were not for the occasional touch of his fingers, one would think that it was a still statue.
Li Zhaodi did not dare to disturb him. After a long time, her eyes flickered and she suddenly saw the food box. She immediately stood up and walked over. As she opened the food box, she said,””Huazi, this is the bean chicken that mom packed. Didn’t you want to eat this when you were young? it’s all mom’s fault. I didn’t let you have it, but I have to let you have it. I’ve asked around. This head chef Yuan is the best Chef in the country. The food he makes has the same taste as when you were young. Can you smell it?”
As soon as the lunchbox was opened, the fragrance rushed out. Thanks to the system’s Black technology, even if he took it out now, it was still hot.
This time, Li Hua’s reaction was even more intense than before. His entire body trembled slightly, as if he was looking at his younger days. That thin and shriveled little girl, who smelled the fragrance and swallowed her saliva, wanting to eat a piece. That was the obsession of eating a piece even in her dreams. Unfortunately, her brother could eat it happily, but she couldn ‘t.
She looked down and saw the steaming, three-fingers-wide bean chicken in front of her. The familiar taste made her unable to turn her eyes away. This was her obsession since she was young. Even though she was in her thirties, she had never eaten it.
Seeing Li Hua’s performance, li Zhaodi’s mouth finally showed a smile. She carefully picked up a piece and put it to her mouth,””Hua, why don’t you try a bite?”
It had been a month. Li Hua had mostly been injected with nutrition shots, and a few of them were plain soup. He just swallowed it mechanically like a robot. However, as soon as the bean chicken entered his mouth, the originally light and bitter taste in his mouth welcomed a taste reform.
The brownish-yellow color was very beautiful at first glance. When it entered her mouth, it was soft and moist, salty and numbing, with a lingering bamboo fragrance. It made her mouth, which was already not able to taste much, feel fresh. After swallowing, she quickly took a second bite.
Li Zhaodi was simply too excited, because Li Hua ate one in a short while and looked like he wanted to eat more.
“Is this bean chicken delicious? it was all mom’s fault in the past. Mom shouldn’t have favored boys over girls. I shouldn’t have made you work so hard to help your younger brother, causing you to be in such a situation at such a young age.”
Li Zhaodi choked with sobs and continued,””I know I was wrong now. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but can you still be my daughter in the next life? I promise to make up for everything I owe you in this life and pamper you like a baby, okay?”
Li Zhaodi’s eyes were already red, but she still blinked hard to see and hear Li Hua’s reaction. Although she had said this for a month and Li Hua had not responded, she was in a good mood today. Maybe she could get an answer.
After a minute or a century, Li Hua slowly said,””The bean chicken is very delicious.”
The voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, but it was like a sudden clap of thunder exploding in li Zhaodi’s ears. Her whole body swayed slightly, and tears came out of her eyes. However, she immediately turned her back slightly and wiped it hard before she turned back as if nothing had happened,””It’s delicious. Let’s eat more. Head chef Yuan’s cooking skills are really amazing. What else do you want to eat? tell me. I’ll think of a way.”
As he spoke, he shakily picked up another piece of bean chicken and brought it to Li Hua’s mouth. Li Hua also slowly ate it, bite by bite. Everything seemed to be the same as before.
