No.70 days

"You are back," Wang Yujun walked over and stood beside Shao Wu, "Mom has been looking forward to your return."

"Then why," Shao Wu hiccupped, suddenly a little embarrassed, "why I can't get through to you and my dad..."

Wu Yan's expression darkened, and she whispered, "We're divorced."

Shao Wu: "...why?"

"All right, all right," Wang Yujun tugged at Shao Wu's sleeve, "Don't ask children about adults."

Shao Wu: "..."

"Mom," Wang Yujun untied the tied plastic bag, "I didn't buy red oil, you can't eat chili pepper these days, clear soup is also good, I ate a bowl."

"Okay, good boy." Wu Yan stretched out her hand to reach for the bowl, and Wang Yujun immediately blocked her hand and said, "It's a little hot, I'll just hold it."

"Yaoer," Wu Yan lovingly patted Shao Wu's head, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No……"

"Mom, you eat first," Wang Yujun said, "I'll take him out to eat later."

Shao Wu looked at Wang Yujun in confusion, almost wondering if he had gone to the female Durban that Tang Heng had mentioned—although he hadn't seen him for many years, Wang Yujun had changed a lot, he was like a different person.Back then, when he kissed men in the noodle shop rebelliously, he would give his mother to eat like this now?

And why would he come back?

Shao Wu blew his nose, so he had no choice but to stay silent for now and wait aside.After my mother finished eating, Wang Yujun went to the bathroom of the ward to pour out the soup, cleaned the lunch box, and said, "Then I'll take Shaowu to eat some food, Mom."

"Why don't you go eat hot pot?" Wu Yan took out her wallet from the handbag on the table, and took out 500 yuan. "It's too cold, eat something warm, what——Mom's treat."

Shao Wu suddenly remembered that Wu Yan had given him money in the same way when he was in college, and told him to go back to Chongqing to go shopping and buy clothes, or treat his classmates to dinner.Thinking of this, Shao Wu's nose felt a little sour again.He didn't know what was going on, he thought he was calm all the way back to Yongchuan from Zhuhai, but now that he saw Wu Yan, he knew it was a false alarm and wanted to cry frequently.

"Mom, no need," Shao Wu said, "I have money."

"Oh, you've made a lot of money outside, and you've become more polite with your mother?"

"Okay, okay, eat hot pot," Wang Yujun quickly took the 500 yuan, "Mom, do you want to eat any fruit, let's bring some back."

"Buy some strawberries." Wu Yan said with a smile.

"Yes," Wang Yujun patted Shao Wu, "Let's go."

Shao Wu followed Wang Yujun out of the hospital, his head was in a daze, and his voice was still crying: "Brother, why are my parents divorced?"

"Think about it for yourself," Wang Yujun sighed, not as attentive as before, with a lazy voice, "We are both gay, what would your father think?"

Shao Wu stopped in his tracks: "I—" He really didn't expect this.

But when Wang Yujun said this, he immediately understood.A woman gave birth to sons by two men successively, and both sons were gay... What would Shao Wu's father think?Naturally, I think this is Wu Yan's problem.

Wang Yujun looked at Shao Wu and smiled wryly: "It's a good thing you just came out to them and didn't tell anyone else... otherwise it wouldn't just be a divorce."

It was almost five o'clock at this time, the sky was a little dark, a gust of wind blew over, and Shao Wu shivered from the cold.This kind of damp cold wind is exactly the winter wind in Yongchuan that Shao Wu is very familiar with.He rubbed his icy hands, and found that he even felt very kind to the clammy wind.

After leaving for a year and a half, Yongchuan got the high-speed rail, and red lanterns were hung on the street trees, with the words "Happy New Year's Day" written on it. Shaowu knew that it would be time to change it to "Happy New Year's Day" again soon.

It's New Years Eve again so soon.

Fortunately, fortunately, he came back.

"I'll buy you some clothes first," Wang Yujun said, "You wear too little."

"okay."

Maybe it's because of the blood relationship?Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, Shao Wu doesn't feel embarrassed when facing Wang Yujun. It seems that they still met each other during the Chinese New Year like they did when they were young. , Crackling.But he was timid and didn't dare to play, so he followed Wang Yujun like a tail.

The two walked into the shopping mall. On the first day of the new year, everyone went out to go shopping and watch movies, and it was crowded.Shao Wu bought a down jacket to make do with it, and then Wang Yujun took him to the hot pot restaurant on the fifth floor.It's not time for meal yet, but at a glance, the tables are full, and the smell of hot chili rushes into his nostrils, which makes Shao Wu wrinkle his nose, feeling very hungry for a moment—hungry as if his body has changed. It was an empty sack, as hungry as if I hadn’t eaten for a year and a half in Guangdong.

Fortunately, there were only two of them, and they could still sit down.

Wang Yujun handed the menu to Shao Wu: "You order."

"Well," Shao Wu said to the waiter without even looking at the menu, "Fried crispy pork, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, ice powder, small twist, mouse fish, spicy beef, hairy belly, yellow throat—"

"Take it easy," Wang Yujun reminded him, "This restaurant has a big portion, I just ate a bowl of chaoshou."

"Brother, don't worry," Shao Wu whispered, "I can finish eating."

All kinds of dishes were brought up one after another. Before the bottom of the pot was boiled, Shao Wu ate the crispy meat and ice powder first. The crispy meat here was deep-fried until golden and crispy, with a pinch of fiery red chili noodles sprinkled on top.The ice powder is sour and sweet, in addition to raisins, hawthorn pieces, white sesame seeds, peanut pieces, brown sugar water, and soft glutinous glutinous rice.

Shao Wu took a mouthful of crispy meat and ice powder, his lips split again, but he didn't care.

"Eat slowly, don't worry," Wang Yujun ordered a cup of sour plum juice and sipped it slowly, "How do you know that our mother is hospitalized?"

"My friend came to the hospital to see a relative, and I met her." Shao Wu's cheeks were bulging, and he spoke vaguely, "When was she hospitalized?"

"It's been almost a week. She was suffering from unbearable dysmenorrhea. She went to the hospital for a B-ultrasound. The doctor said that her fibroids were too big and had to be cut."

"How big is it?"

"Six and a half centimeters, and this time it was found that she had endometriosis. After discussing with the doctor, she decided to remove the uterus directly. Fortunately, minimal trauma can be done."

"Endometriosis." This is the first time Shao Wu heard about this disease.

"It's not a serious problem, but it's easy to suffer from dysmenorrhea."

Wang Yujun picked up two pieces of hairy belly, rinsed them, and then put them into Shaowu bowl: "I didn't expect you to... leave too, she told me, she felt that you were like that for something... At first you changed your choice, but later I don’t study graduate school anymore.”

Shao Wu lowered his eyes guiltyly, he thought Wang Yujun had probably guessed it.

Sure enough, the next second Wang Yujun asked: "Is it because of that man, who used to go to Internet cafes back then, what's wrong with Yang?"

Shao Wu gave a soft "hmm".

Wang Yujun sighed: "You can do it. How are you doing now?"

"...he's getting married next month."

"..." Wang Yujun put down his chopsticks, seemed to hold back for a few seconds, but still scolded, "Why did I tell you, don't mess with straight guys, don't fuck with straight guys, you fucking didn't listen."

At this point, Shao Wu didn't know what to say.Anyway, Wang Yujun is not the first person to scold him.

"Forget it, go back and talk to Mom. After you left, she asked a psychiatrist about homosexuality, and she accepted it a little... I guess she just asked her because she suspected that she had a genetic problem."

The fuck actually took the initiative to learn about homosexuality?

Because she suspects that she has a genetic problem...

Shao Wu felt sore and swollen in his heart, not only felt how lucky he was, but also felt that he had done too much to his parents.It wasn't until the moment he learned of his mother's illness that a sense of urgency suddenly surged in his heart. When he loved Yang Shuyi desperately, it turned out that his parents were also slowly aging.

"I will have a good talk with Mom," Shao Wu said, "Brother, thank you."

"Hey, don't make such an expression," Wang Yujun said helplessly, "I'm not scolding you, I'm living in a muddle...Anyway, during this period of time, my mother is undergoing surgery, so we will take good care of her."

"Ah."

The anxious heart finally settled down. Shao Wu and Wang Yujun chatted while eating hot pot. Wang Yujun said that he has been in Chengdu for these years and has done all kinds of jobs. Now he works as the front desk of an Internet company.He returned to Yongchuan this time to change his account, but unexpectedly, his mother was undergoing surgery just in time.

After eating and drinking enough, Wang Yujun went to pay the bill. Shao Wu leaned on the seat a little tiredly. He took out his mobile phone and planned to send a WeChat message to the boss——Wang Yujun said that the hospital arranged No. He can only be discharged from the hospital in about a few days, so he has to ask for half a month's leave.

In fact, Shao Wu wanted to resign directly.

He planned to go to Chongqing to find a job, and he didn't want to leave.

But like God's will, as soon as the phone was in his hand, a call came in before his WeChat was sent.

There was a lot of voices in the hot pot restaurant, Shao Wu was stunned for a few seconds, and then hung up his phone.

But within half a minute, he persistently dialed again.

Wang Yujun was still paying at the counter, so Shao Wu had no choice but to answer the phone: "Hello?"

"I have received the greeting card and money that you asked Longlong to bring to me." Yang Shuyi was very quiet, so his voice came into Shao Wu's ear canal too clearly.

Shao Wu said: "Just receive it." But can't we send a WeChat message about this matter?Why must he hear his voice?

"Our wedding has been brought forward, January No. 17," Yang Shuyi paused, and still asked calmly, "Can you come to attend?"

Shao Wu got up and walked straight out of the hot pot restaurant. The door was full of people waiting for a seat. Shao Wu looked around and had to walk forward quickly. He wanted to go to a place where there were no people, but at this time, there was no one in the mall. , to, place, all, yes, people.

With the phone stuck to his ear, Yang Shuyi didn't speak, nor did he urge him to answer.Shao Wu even felt that Yang Shuyi did it on purpose, he deliberately wanted to appreciate his embarrassment, because he knew that as long as he did something casually, it would be enough for him to be in embarrassment.

Shao Wu didn't leave at all, and stood next to a tall artificial flower, ignoring the three high school students sitting beside him, he forced himself to calm down, "No. 17 in January?"

"Yes, January seventeenth."

"Yang Shuyi, do you know that I'm in Yongchuan now," Shao Wu gritted his teeth and said to him, "But I don't want to go, I don't want to see you marry someone else, is it hard for you to understand the truth?"

Yang Shuyi was silent.

"Do you think I'm still determined and insist that I watch you get married in person? But my determination has nothing to do with you, Yang Shuyi, really, don't worry, I know I won't be with you in this life—I Already know."

The three high school students stopped talking and secretly glanced at Shao Wu.

But Yang Shuyi asked: "Why did you go back to Yongchuan?"

"My mother has surgery, and I'll go back to Zhuhai after she's done." Shao Wu had to lie, he thought, he was still in a mess after all, not to mention watching Yang Shuyi get married, but answering his calls was so awkward.

"Where are you now? People's Hospital?"

"I wish you a successful wedding, really, I won't join in the fun—"

However, Yang Shuyi hung up the phone directly.

Shao Wu was about to call back, but Wang Yujun walked towards him, holding a bear doll in his hand: "If you spend [-], you can give it away."

"...Well," Shao Wu had no choice but to put the phone back in his pocket, "Then let's go, Mom wants to eat strawberries."

"There is a supermarket on the lower floor, so you can check what you are missing and buy together." Wang Yujun put the doll into Shao Wu's hand, "You can go home to rest at night, and I will accompany you in the hospital."

Shao Wu pinched the furry doll and nodded uneasily.

The supermarket was also overcrowded. I heard the radio and found out that the New Year's Day discount is [-] minus [-].The two were stuck in a long checkout line.

Shao Wu didn't know why Yang Shuyi wanted him to attend the wedding, and he didn't know why his wedding was brought forward - he only heard that the wedding was postponed, but he didn't hear that it could be brought forward.

"Hi, Mom," Wang Yujun answered the phone, "ah, we're still in the supermarket, there are so many people... His classmate?"

Shao Wu looked at Wang Yujun suddenly.

"Okay, okay, let's go as soon as possible... eh, okay..."

Wang Yujun hung up the phone and looked at Shao Wu meaningfully:

"Your classmate surnamed Yang went to the hospital to see our mother."
