Pet King

Zhang Zi'an watched Fina and Snow Lion run away, and picked up Zhu Lan to return to the second floor.

Guo Dongyue and Aunt Bai had already entered the house, and the door was partially covered. He pushed in and closed it.

The common problem with old houses is poor indoor lighting, and this house is no exception. There are a lot of sundries in the house, but they are cleaned up. It seems that Aunt Bai is very diligent.

Although the house is old, the appliances are very new and should be bought by Guo Dongyue.

The scent of meals and the anxious voice of Guo Dongyue fluttered in the kitchen.

"Mom, put down the spoon and let Aunt Bai do it."

"Come on, old sister-in-law, give me."

Zhang Zi'an followed the sound and stood in the kitchen door, looking inward.

A gas pot of soup was stewed on the gas stove. Guo Dongyue and Aunt Bai were holding an old woman with short hair in an apron and a pair of short hair, and they were persuading to remove the long spoon from her. The old woman's eyes flickered, sometimes as clear as a normal person, and sometimes blank.

"Swallow, who is this? It looks familiar." The old woman asked Aunt Bai in confusion.

"Old sister-in-law, this is your son Xiaoyue." Aunt Bai took the long spoon, opened the lid of the pot and looked at the fire. She stirred the spoon into the soup, stirred it again, and covered it again. She said this very skillfully, as if she had said it countless times.

"My son ..." The old woman smiled and looked at Guo Dongyue, her eyes glowed for a moment, and her lips were slightly open, what she wanted to say, Guo Dongyue looked at her expectantly.

However, in the next second, the luster in her eyes faded, and her gaze went straight around him, staring at the wall clock, just like Guo Dongyue was a transparent person, and she murmured, "Why hasn't Xiaoyue come back yet? Is the teacher dragging the hall again ... "

This is one of the obvious characteristics of Alzheimer's syndrome. Patients are not able to look at objects with afterglow like normal people. Their vision is out of focus, even if they are a few centimeters away from the wall clock.

In just a few seconds, the expression on Guo Dongyue's face experienced a change from heaven to hell.

Aunt Bai turned down the fire of the gas stove, put a long spoon aside, and comforted: "The doctor didn't say it all, this disease can't be reversed, don't be too sad."

"Yeah, yeah ..." Guo Dongyue smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Bai, you're right."

"That's life!" Aunt Bai crossed her hands on her belly and said very seriously: "I know your young people don't believe this, but this is life, and my old sister-in-law should suffer this crime-but you I think this disease will at least not be painful and uncomfortable, and it is much better than many more disgusting diseases. "

Zhang Zi'an thinks that what she said is not unreasonable, and it can indeed provide some comfort. Alzheimer's syndrome is terminally ill, but it will leave enough time for the family and friends of the patient to accompany and say goodbye. From this perspective, this is a kind kind of terminally ill ... but it is too heavy for the soul.

At this moment, Guo's mother noticed Zhang Zi'an standing at the door of the kitchen, took a moment's notice, and asked, "Excuse me, are you ..."

Zhang Zi'an gave full play to his ability to keep his mouth open, and replied without hesitation: "My surname is Zhang, Guo Dongyue's teacher. I'm here for a home visit today."

Guo Dongyue: "..."

Zhang Zi'an was serious and did not blink without talking. If Guo Dongyue hadn't already learned his character, I'm afraid he would really believe it.

Mother Guo believed it. She froze and said nervously: "Dong Yue he ... Is he alright? Did something happen at school? It's so late that he hasn't returned home ..."

Zhang Zi'an smiled calmly, "Nothing happened, because he is on duty today, so he will come back a little later."

"Oh, then I can rest assured." Mother Guo was relieved.

Guo Dongyue and Aunt Bai looked at each other stunned, because they found that Mother Guo was really relaxed, and the spirit of the whole person was different from that just now, and their faces glowed with serenity and peace.

In particular, Guo Dongyue, for a moment, he had a feeling of making things happen—he tried to tell the truth to her every time. It was a torture to her and him, instead of an understatement to Zhang Zi'an.

He repeatedly reviewed in his heart, his mother frequently watched his watch at noon every day, and wondered why Xiao Dongyue didn't come back, why didn't he think of using an innocent lie to reassure her?

Aunt Bai is also the same. She takes care of Mother Guo every day. At noon every day, Mother Guo is anxious. At first, she will also say that Dong Yue has grown up and has her own job. There is no need to wait for him to come back for dinner. , Gradually adopt an attitude of ignoring, or perfunctory.

"Mr. Zhang, please sit down." Mother Guo diligently gave Zhang Zi'an into the living room and asked him to sit down.

Zhang Zi'an took the lead of being a teacher, sat on the sofa with ease, and raised Erlang's legs.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't seem to have seen you before. Which subject did you teach?" Mother Guo asked carefully.

Zhang Zi'an said, "Language, and I'm also his class teacher."

"Ah? Isn't the head teacher Liu? Is it a substitute?" Guo mother froze.

"Substitution. I am the new class teacher. Teacher Liu is on maternity leave."

"Taking maternity leave?" Mother Guo was surprised, "Ms. Liu is a man!"

"..." Zhang Zi'an responded, "It's a man, but his wife gave birth to a child, and he went with him on maternity leave ... don't talk about this, let's talk about your child."

Guo Dongyue waved at Aunt Bai and asked her to continue cooking first, staying in the living room silently watching Zhang Zi'an talking to her mother. At this time, the mother seemed to be in a good state, focused, fluent in thought, and decent in language. She responded to normal people's every word that Zhang Zi'an said, and she could not see a patient with Alzheimer's syndrome at all.

He understood why. She was concerned about her son's performance during school. This allowed her remaining normal brain cells to run at full speed, just like a bunch of extinguishing campfires were reawakened by a sudden breeze. Unlike the accelerated bonfire, it is obviously good for her brain cells to run at full speed ~ www.readwn.com ~ Zhang Zi'an does not know what Guo Dongyue was like when he was in middle school, but it does n’t matter what the real situation is, he just does n’t care Trying to praise her son in memory, every word makes the wrinkles in the corner of Mother Guo's eyes bloom like flowers.

Sometimes people with Alzheimer's syndrome don't need the truth, because the truth will soon be forgotten, and they need more care and happiness. Guo Dongyue is an overly serious person. He doesn't have the ability to open his eyes to talk like Zhang Zi'an. Worries about his mother make him always stretch his face, and sometimes he even hates his face.

Time passed minute by minute. The mother's sober time was extraordinarily long. Guo Dongyue hoped that time could slow down its pace and let this moment reside here ... If he sat in front of her and talked about himself Better.

Zhang Zi'an turned the topic and asked his mother, "I heard you have two parrots in your house, right?"

A smile appeared on Guo's face, "Yeah, my parrot ... my parrot ... my parrot ..."

Her mind suddenly broke off, like a clock with a stuck hand, repeating the same sentence continuously.
