Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 910 910. Father’s Prose Poetry
Just as he was trying to figure out the source of his thoughts, he saw Mother Dong standing at the door of the building, waving to him and whispering: "Qiang Qiang, this way."

Dong Qiangqiang stopped thinking and stepped into the ward building.

Dong's father's ward was on the fourth floor, and the elevator was temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. After registering at the door, Dong Qiangqiang could only climb the stairs with Dong's mother.

The windows in the stairwell are opened and closed in order to balance ventilation and heat preservation. Despite this, the air is still filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

"Mom, dad knows that I'm not angry when I come back, right?" Dong Qiangqiang raised his head and asked Dong's mother while avoiding other people walking down the stairs.

Mother Dong's expression was solemn and she continued walking up without comment, seemingly not hearing Dong Qiangqiang's question.

The fourth floor arrived quickly.

After lifting the curtain of the cotton door from the stairwell to the fourth-floor atrium, the first thing that caught Dong Qiangqiang's eyes was a long wooden table in the middle of the atrium and a nurse wearing a mask sitting behind the table.

There is a glass door on each of her left and right hands. Behind the glass door is a long corridor, with wards on both sides of the corridor.

Seeing something like a register on the table, Dong Qiangqiang knew that the nurse should be the person responsible for registering visitors and managing the two glass doors.

After understanding the needs of Dong's mother and son, the nurse told the two that only one family member could enter the ward to see the patient at a time, and the patient could only be visited for half an hour in total every day.Patients can leave their rooms, but not through the glass doors.If Dong’s mother and Dong Qiangqiang both want to see Dong’s father, they can ask Dong’s mother to go in first and call the patient to the glass door, so that Dong Qiangqiang can see Dong’s father on the glass door. There is an intercom next to the glass door, and the father and son can Communicate through the door.

Dong Qiangqiang did not expect that the visitation requirements would be so strict, but the hospital had hospital rules and he could only abide by them. To say the least, it was at least much better than some hospitals that did not allow visits at all. He originally thought that the hospital would prohibit visits because of his father's condition. visitation.

Mother Dong tightened her mask and asked Dong Qiangqiang to wait outside the glass door on the west side. Then she showed her visitor card to the nurse, and then walked through the glass door to the end of the corridor.

Dong Qiangqiang carried the fruit and watched Mother Dong disappear at the door of a ward at the end of the corridor. After waiting for a few minutes, Father Dong and Mother Dong were not seen leaving the room. He moved his eyes to the notice board on the wall.

Similar to the outpatient hall, the notice board is also filled with notices of different colors. The top one is "Instructions for Medical Staff on the Fourth Floor", which reads:
“1. Take care of yourself, take rest, and report any discomfort at any time.

2. Provide 5 newspapers every day.

3. Add a piece of fruit to lunch every day, which is provided by the canteen.

4. The head nurse will arrange a dedicated person to take charge of the garbage on this floor.

5. The second shower device has been installed, the bathing problem has been solved, and the hot water supply time is..."

Before Dong Qiangqiang finished reading, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He subconsciously looked back behind the glass door, and suddenly found a familiar figure walking slowly towards him with the support of Dong's mother.

When Dong's father supported Dong's mother with his right hand on the wall and his left hand, and stood on the other side of the glass door and looked at Dong Qiangqiang seriously, Dong Qiangqiang was so horrified that he couldn't believe his eyes.

Compared with the proud middle-aged man who waved goodbye to him at Frankfurt Airport, Father Dong in front of him seemed like a completely different person.

Although Dong's father also had white hair at that time, he still had more black hair overall. Now he has a head full of white hair and his face is red. But you can see obvious red spots and rash-like allergy marks on Dong's face without looking closely. .Although Dong's mother had warned Dong Qiang that Dong's father's face would be swollen after taking hormone drugs, Dong Qiang never expected the swelling to be like this, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.Although the hospital gown covered Dong's father's figure, the slender forearms exposed after Dong's father rolled up his sleeves were so thin that Dong Qiangqiang couldn't bear to look directly at them. His trouser legs were also empty and seemed to be floating, and he felt a sense of weight loss. I want to be as haggard as I want.

In Dong Qiangqiang's impression, Dong's father has always been the kind of person who is unsmiling and calm. Although the residual power is still there, it is obvious that he is standing in front of Dong Qiangqiang with all his strength.If you weren't familiar with him, you wouldn't be able to imagine what Father Dong looked like before.

Dong Qiangqiang's nose suddenly became sore. He suppressed his sadness and whispered into the intercom: "Dad, I'm back to see you and mom." Dong's father stared at Dong Qiangqiang's face for a long time as if he was looking for some answer. say.

Dong Qiangqiang thought that Father Dong didn't hear him, so he said loudly again, and raised the fruit in his hand high: "Dad, let mom bring the fruit in for you later."

Seeing Father Dong's face looking litigious, Mother Dong gently pushed Father Dong's arm and said, "The child is here to see you. Let me say a few words."

A few seconds passed after Dong's mother finished speaking. Dong's father stared into Dong Qiangqiang's eyes, with a pulled face and a low voice: "Have you finished the exam?"

"Well, all the exams for this semester are over." Dong Qiangqiang knew that his father was most worried about his studies, so he hurriedly explained, "The next semester starts in April, so I came back to see you and mom quickly, so that I won't delay my studies."

Father Dong's face was still ugly: "Have you bought the round-trip air tickets?"

"I've bought it." Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself that his father was still worried that he wouldn't be able to go back. "I heard from mom that your body is recovering well. Let me take a look..."

Dong's father interrupted Dong Qiangqiang and continued with a stern tone: "Qiangqiang, I'm very angry that you came back on your own, but it's useless to talk about it now. You have seen that your mother and I are both very good. We are also very angry. We are very happy to see that you can take good care of yourself, but the situation is unclear now, so your mother and I hope that you can return to Germany immediately, and don't let the love between children be lost. That's all I'm saying, you should leave as soon as possible .”

After speaking, Father Dong waved his hand impatiently towards Dong Qiangqiang, signaling him to leave. Then he turned around, ignoring Mother Dong who was stunned on the spot, and limped toward the end of the corridor, without giving Dong Qiangqiang a chance to explain. Only his back was left.

Dong Qiangqiang stood outside the glass door in astonishment. Although he thought that his father might lose his temper, he thought that at most he would just scold him, but unexpectedly it ended in such a simple two sentences.

Although there was a cotton curtain between the central hall and the corridor to block the wind, a biting wind blew around him at some point.

He listened to Dong's mother's advice early in the morning and wore a hat and mask.When standing, he turned slightly sideways to ensure that Father Dong's view inside the glass door could be blocked by the door frame to prevent Father Dong from seeing the back of his head and discovering the fact that he had long hair. Therefore, Father Dong's anger now should be related to his long hair. Hair has nothing to do with it.

There was only one reason: Dong's father was very dissatisfied with him returning home without authorization.

"Dad, I've finished the exam and bought my flight ticket back. There won't be any problems..." Dong Qiangqiang raised his volume again into the intercom, hoping that his explanation would dispel his father's concerns.

"Keep your voice down." The nurse reminded him dissatisfiedly from behind him, "Others are still resting."

Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly apologized to the nurse. When he turned around, he saw a figure gradually moving away.

Mother Dong took a few steps to catch up with Father Dong, who was swaying, and while holding his arm, she complained: "Didn't you say you should talk it over? Why are you still losing your temper? Your child came all the way to see you, and he didn't even smile. Forget it, let your son go back immediately. Can't you just talk to him if you have something to say? Do you need to be so strict? "

"I get angry when I see this kid. He is so willful and ignorant at this juncture. And he is confused and you are confused too. How dare you let him come to the hospital at this time? If he is infected, who will take care of him? You Or me?" Father Dong asked sternly as he moved forward slowly.

"The person I think is confused is you. You only see that he doesn't listen to you, but you can't see that he cares for you. You don't even think about it. If you really have something, do you think he can study alone outside? What? Besides, the doctor allowed me to ask him to come to the hospital, and you are no longer a patient with the infectious disease. To say the least, if he is really infected, he is still my son and I will take care of him, and you will not be needed." Mother Dong proudly refused. .

Father Dong wanted to refute Mother Dong, but couldn't find the error in her logic for a while, so he snorted heavily with his nose, as if to express disdain and dissatisfaction, but after a few seconds, he thought of something and immediately changed his voice. He said in a serious tone: "The situation is so chaotic now, what if I can't leave? Wouldn't that delay the child?"

"Even if I really can't leave, I don't think it's okay. Your son is already an adult, and you have to respect his decision. And looking at it from another perspective, children who are too obedient will probably not achieve anything, and those who are disobedient will not be in vain even if they fail. live."

Father Dong was silent for a long time. He seemed to be thinking about Mother Dong's words. After entering the ward, he sighed: "The child is older, but I must do what I should do. I can't drag the child down."
