It’s not good to refuse to accept the old man. For an old man in his 70s, cooking this table is really exhausting, and his waist can hardly straighten up.
At this time, the old man’s phone rang, and the ringtone was still “the most dazzling family style”, and it was from his daughter Lin Linghua.
“Hey Linghua, are you coming home soon? I’ve finished cooking.” Lin Yun showed a kind smile on his face.
“Dad, my company suddenly has an urgent matter and I have to work overtime. Don’t wait for me. I will definitely not be able to come back today.” Her daughter’s urgent voice came from the phone.
“Linghua, you… you promised Dad that you will come back for dinner today.” Lin Yun couldn’t help but said.
“Dad, you’re so old, you can’t be ignorant, it’s really sudden that the company has something to do, so Dad, I’ll come back to see you tomorrow, so it’s settled, I won’t say more if I have something to do here.”
“Beep beep…”
Before Lin Yun could speak, the call was terminated.
Holding the phone, Lin Yun was stunned for a while before putting it down.
Looking at the dishes on the table again, Lin Yun couldn’t help but sighed, most of these dishes, Lin Yun couldn’t eat, his teeth were bad…
“Forget it, wait for Linghua to come back tomorrow to eat.” Lin Yun murmured.
After Lin Yun ate something casually, he put the rest of the food in the refrigerator, watched the news broadcast, and went to bed.
Noon the next day.
As the door opened, her daughter Linghua came back.
In the house that had been silent for a long time, there was finally the smell of other people, and finally the voices of other living people.
“Linghua, why didn’t your husband come?” Lin Yun went up to welcome her.
“He is busy with work, and I am also very busy recently. It is 12 o’clock at noon, and I have to go back at 2 o’clock. I can only spend two hours with you.” Linghua said while changing her shoes.
“Alright, I’ll heat up the dishes I made last night. You didn’t come back last night, so I saved them for you. I also stewed your favorite pig’s trotters.” Lin Yun showed a wrinkled smile.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yun walked to the refrigerator and took the leftovers out.
“Dad, how many times have I told you, don’t eat overnight food, it’s not healthy!”
Linghua said as she rushed to the refrigerator, took out the dishes that Lin Yun made yesterday, and threw them all away.
Looking at the discarded vegetables, Lin Yun felt uncomfortable. What was discarded was not the vegetables, but Mr. Lin’s hard work and expectation.
“That’s all right, Linghua, I’ll make another dish.” Lin Yun said.
“Dad, I have to leave at two o’clock. How can I have time to cook? I’ll go downstairs and buy some cooked food!”
As Linghua said, she turned and went downstairs.
After lunch, Linghua washed the dishes, went to the living room, sat in the living room and checked her mobile phone.
Lin Yun talked to Linghua several times, and Linghua asked questions and answers, but Lin Yun didn’t ask any more questions, but stared at the TV with blank eyes.
Lin Yun was not interested in the content on the TV.
However, Lin Yun must be interested, because this is the only entertainment life for spending time at home.
As for Linghua, when she was sitting beside her and looking at her mobile phone, she often laughed.
It’s a pity that people’s sorrows and joys are not the same.
After sitting for too long, Lin Yun’s old waist hurt so badly that he could only give him a hammer.
“Dad, it’s two o’clock, I have to leave first, and I will come back to accompany you next time.”
As soon as two o’clock arrived, Linghua put away her mobile phone on time and hurried out, as if clocking in to leave work.
Lin Yun sent her to the door and watched her leave with complicated emotions.
The house returned to silence, so quiet that you could hear the sound of the old clock ticking on the wall, and even the sound of Linghua laughing while swiping her phone…
In the next few months, Lin Yun didn’t call Linghua again, and Lin Yun didn’t want to disturb her anymore.
Lin Yun also didn’t know when this kind of slow life would be the end.
Until the spring of the next year, when Lin Yun went to the park to watch the flowers bloom, he was accidentally pushed down and fell down the stairs. At that moment, Lin Yun felt that his whole body seemed to fall apart.
Lin Yun was pulled by the ambulance and drove towards the hospital at high speed.
In the ambulance.
Lin Yun looked at the roof of the car, feeling a tightness in his chest, unable to speak.
The nurse found out Lin Yun’s elderly phone and notified the family members, found the “daughter” note, and dialed it.
“Hello, are you Mr. Lin Yun’s daughter?” The nurse held Lin Yun’s ID card in the other hand.
“Who are you? Why is my dad’s mobile phone in your hands?” The voice of daughter Linghua came from the phone.
The nurse turned on the loudspeaker, and Lin Yun could hear it too.
“I’m a nurse at the Central Hospital. Your father fell in the park and his life is in danger. You should go to the Central Hospital right away!” said the nurse.
“What? He went to the park and fell? Really, I’m so old, why don’t I go to the park when I’m not at home, I don’t worry at all, I have an important meeting to attend, what if The meeting is delayed, not only will I lose my promotion, but I will also lose my job.” Linghua’s voice of reproach came from the phone.
Lin Yun, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt as if his heart had been stabbed severely when he heard these words.
Lin Yun has the memory of Mr. Lin, and knows how much Mr. Lin loved Linghua when he was a child!
At the same time, Lin Yun felt that his consciousness became blurred, his eyelids became heavy, and he could no longer hold them up.
Are these days of slow time finally coming to an end?
It’s okay to end.
This was Lin Yun’s last thought.
At the same time, two lines of tears rolled down from the corner of Lin Yun’s eyes…
Didi!
The rapid alarm sounded from the vital signs detector, and the curve on the instrument was pulled into a straight line.
Mr. Lin’s life is over.
…
boom!
Lin Yun, who was sitting in the hut, suddenly woke up.
Lin Yun found that there were still tears in the corners of his eyes.
That scene seems to be still in front of my eyes.
“I am back!”
Looking at his white and delicate face, Lin Yun came back to his senses from the role of Mr. Lin.
Lin Yun was still a little uncomfortable with the change of roles, and he immediately performed the exercises and felt the powerful energy rising from his body, so he was relieved.
This experience really gave Lin Yun a lot of insights, especially his understanding of life!
After all, after experiencing a “real” death, the perception of “death” is profound.
And “life and death” is one of the mysteries of the rules in this world.
boom!
