Picking Up Stars - Chapter 66

[Chapter 66]

It’s winter again, and it’s years ago.

Before the Chinese New Year, Qin Fang always came to see and talk to his grandfather. This rule has never changed.

“Why is it so warm this winter, I’m almost out of winter atmosphere.” Qin Fang breathed into his hands and rubbed them together.

Qin Fang took out a small towel from his pocket, and as usual, wiped the monument first.

“This year, the roads are not covered with ice. It snowed at night and melted in the morning. A few teachers came from the south a few days ago and said they were looking for snow. There’s no snow at all, it’s too late.” Qin Fang said and laughed, his hand holding the towel was blown red by the wind.

“It’s said that warm winter is easy to get sick, and it’s true. I’ve had three colds this year, and I haven’t caught a cold in a year, so I’ve saved them all here.” Qin Fang sneezed after speaking, with a heavy nasal sound and a good nose. It was blocked for several days, and my brain hurts before going to bed at night.

Compared with the past, this winter is indeed too warm, unreal. People who are accustomed to the cold are actually not used to the warm winter. They cry out that it is cold every winter, but once the temperature is high, they all feel that something is wrong.

It hasn’t snowed much this year, and the air is so dirty after heating, it’s always gray when I look up, and it even chokes my nose at night. In this state, it is impossible not to get sick, and the flu keeps coming and going, and many people are hospitalized because of pneumonia.

This winter is not easy. Qin Fang occasionally thinks of the southerners who have lived here for four years, especially Si Tu. If he is here this year, he will cough for a winter.

Qin Fang also chatted with him on WeChat last month and asked him how he was doing recently. Si Tu sent him a voice and said it was not bad. Si Tu also asked him how to spend the New Year and if he wanted to come. Qin Fang can’t tell, he is not far this year, and he will accompany his brother at home.

Si Tu let him have time to play over there.

After wiping the tablet, Qin Fang stood there and chatted with his grandfather for a long time, all of which he said unilaterally. Later, I got a little tired from standing, so I squatted in front of the monument to talk to his grandfather, rubbing his ears and touching the tip of his nose from time to time. The warm winter is compared to usual. It is impossible not to be cold if you stay outside like this. Qin Fang’s ears were frozen hard.

In the past two years, he came alone. After grandma Huatong died, Qin Fang never asked Huatong to accompany him. It was very sad. It was a feeling to go to the cemetery when no relatives died. That’s another taste. So no one will accompany him anymore.

“I don’t plan to go anywhere this year. I’m a little lazy this year.” Qin Fang smiled and said, “I’ll talk to you again in two days. I’ve been thinking of you very much recently. They say that children don’t have a deep memory, but you’ve been gone for more than ten years. It’s been years, why do I remember more and more.”

Before Qin Fang left, he put his hands in his pockets, sniffed and said, “Let’s go, it’s too cold.”

Qin Fang hit when he was walking from the cemetery to the parking lot. All the way to sneeze, one by one.

He suddenly remembered that someone had sneezed like this on this road. His nose was red and miserable. He frowned a little when he sneezed, and felt a little helpless. Qin Fang’s heart was sour and soft at that time, and it was soaring.

The man who had an allergic nose still accompanies him to see his grandfather. When he entered the cemetery, he took off the mask and asked him to put it on, but he stubbornly refused.

Qin Fang said to his grandfather at the time, “I found a star. I like it very much, I like it very much.”

Qin Fang shook his head and smiled, the time was too busy. how long ago.

The boy with the red nose at the time has become too good now, and he has been shining.

They have occasional phone calls, very infrequently. He seemed very tired and worked very hard. Extraordinary people always work hard, and excellent people often have to pay more.

He hadn’t slept in fifty hours when they were on the phone once, and tiredness could be heard in his voice. In two hours he will continue to another laboratory. At such a time, instead of going to bed as soon as possible to make up for sleep, he made a phone call.

Then they chatted lightly for a few minutes. Qin put him on the phone and said, “Brother Yan, come

on… You are the best and the brightest. The hard work is worth it, come on.”

, called a salutation, but the broken voice failed to convey these two sounds, and there was only a vague air sound on the phone.

Qin Fang said quietly, “Huh?” He

cleared his throat and didn’t repeat it. They have always had a tacit understanding, and every phone call was like an old friend. Don’t say anything over the line, don’t step on the line, you may step on the empty foot after stepping on it.

So after being silent, he just said with his broken voice: “It’s okay, I’m dizzy.”

Qin Fang scratched his index finger on the back of the phone unconsciously, and said softly, “Go to sleep, sleep for an hour and a half, Ten minutes to sleep, ten minutes to walk.” The

other party said, “Okay.”

“Well,” Qin Fang smiled softly, “Go to sleep.

” order something. He should have been thinking during the silent time, and finally swallowed it back.

Some things can’t be said on the phone.

And I don’t know if I can say it, after all, if something is missed, it is missed. No one has the bottom line.

This makes even proud people become cautious.

This winter is really bad, even Qin Fang’s physique is sick and good, and then sick again. That is to say, the body is good, so I have been sick for several waves but not too serious.

But seeing that winter was coming to an end and spring was about to start, Qin Fang caught up with the last wave of severe flu, and the pneumonia was hanging for several days and the water was still low-grade fever.

A low-grade fever does not affect his life, so Qin Fang is still doing what he should do in class as usual.

The tutor is a young associate professor. Sometimes she is too busy and Qin Fang has to help pick up a child or something. Qin Fang has a very good relationship with the tutor. Originally, there was still some work for him to do, but he went to the office, and when he saw his face, the tutor drove him back.

“Whether you go to sleep or get an injection, I don’t care about you,” the instructor waved his hands and shoved him out again and again, “don’t stick with me, I’ll find anyone to do this work.”

Qin Fang went back again.

In fact, it was still a little uncomfortable, and my muscles were sore all over.

His phone rang early the next morning. In the middle of the night, Qin Fang had a fever again, so Hua Tong patted a fever-relief sticker on his head. The phone rang for a long time before Qin Fang woke up and gave birth. At that moment, Qin Fang thought it was Xingyan.

He picked it up and said softly “Hello”.

As a result, there was a girl on the phone, her voice was a little hoarse, as if she had cried: “Is it Qin Fang? I’m Gong Qi.”

The name made Qin Fang a little confused, he blinked, “ah”, and said “it’s me”.

Gong Qi’s phone number was definitely unexpected by Qin Fang. Since Qin Fang deleted her contact information, they haven’t contacted her privately. She suddenly called, Qin Fang quickly turned around in his mind for several times, but couldn’t come up with a reason for her to call.

Qin Fang listened to what she was saying, and after saying a sentence, Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, his mind seemed to be stuck. After a moment, he took off the antipyretic sticker on his head and sat up straight.

Gong Qi didn’t say much to him, nor did he say a few words together.

Qin Fang kept saying “yes” on the phone, and finally said, “Okay, I know, I’m going today, don’t worry.”

After the phone hung up, Qin Fang booked the latest flight and flew at 8 o’clock in the morning.

Hua Tong didn’t wake up too much. He squinted on the sofa bed and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Qin Fang’s face was ugly, and Hua Tong also sat up: “Who is calling?”

“Gong Qi’s call, help me go to the yard to ask for a leave in the morning.”

Qin Fang was already on the ground, and quickly changed his clothes, wearing a pair of black jeans and a hoodie. Hua Tong said, “Where are you going?”

Qin Fang looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then said, “Si Tu…” The

two of them looked at each other, Hua Tong’s eyes slowly widened, and then he slowly raised his eyebrows. Eyebrows, as if in disbelief. Qin Fang nodded lightly, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash.

Everything was sudden, suddenly like a joke.

When Qin Fang was sitting on the plane, he felt that all this was like a ridiculous dream because he was confused by a fever.

The breath in his nostrils sprayed hot on his skin, and Qin Fang hoped that when he woke up, he would find that this was indeed not true.

But this is all true.

Gong Qi said on the phone that she had just received the third critical illness notification, and she said that Si Tu was leaving –

Qin Fang couldn’t answer the phone during the time on the plane, and the dream awakening he was looking forward to in a trance did not happen. When the plane landed and was still taxiing, Qin Fang turned it on. He called Gong Qi, but Gong Qi didn’t answer. He made another call on Si Tu’s phone, and this time it was Gong Qi who answered.

She reported the address to Qin Fang and the ward number.

Qin Fang found the question he wanted to ask, but now he can’t find a suitable way to ask it.

But Gong Qi understood, she said, “I haven’t…with a ventilator.”

Qin Fang said, “Okay, I’ll go right away, don’t panic.”

Gong Qi’s voice trembled as she said “um”.

Qin Fang ran out of the airport all the way, and his chest was about to explode. When he got into the car, his cell phone rang, and he received a call from Xing Yan.

Qin Fang was still panting when he picked it up, he took a deep breath first, and then said, “Hello?”

Xing Yan called him.

Hearing that sound, Qin Fang immediately closed his eyes and frowned.

Xing Yan’s voice was a little trembling, he should have just received a call, and there was even some uncertainty in his voice.

Qin Fang didn’t need him to speak again, and quickly said to him, “Brother Yan, I’m here, I’m already in the car.”

They no longer greeted indifferently on the phone, Qin Fang said, “There should be only one in the hospital. Gong Qi herself, but I’ll be there soon. I’ve just asked, and it’s too late. I don’t know what the situation is. I’ll call you right away when I arrive. Don’t be afraid.”

Xing Yan said, “…Okay. Xing Yan ‘s

voice was hoarse, and Qin Fang couldn’t hold his voice. No matter how long their relationship had stopped, he still felt distressed when he heard such a voice.

Xing Yan is too far, he is too far.

He couldn’t reach out, Qin Fang didn’t dare to think about Xing Yan’s mood at this moment, so he could only repeat “I’m here” to Xing Yan.

Gong Qi’s call was too sudden for anyone, and no one was prepared. This sounds too much of a joke, even absurd.

Their voices were hoarse, and Xing Yan said “thank you” to Qin Fang. Slow and solemn, but his voice trembled.

Qin Fang looked at everything passing by the car window. His eyes were still swollen because of the fever. He held the phone and said to Xing Yan, “Don’t thank me, don’t say thank you.”
