Chapter 2
The ambulance arrived with dialect attached.

Fang Yan opened the courtyard door, and the ambulance drove into the courtyard and stopped under the steps of the gate. There was only a driver and a nurse girl wearing glasses in the ambulance.When the driver arrived, he didn't even bother to get out of the cab. He needed Fang Yan to carry his adoptive father out of the villa, down the steps, and into the ambulance.

Four days ago, when Fang Yan came, the adoptive father could still sit at the dining table by himself, drinking and reading a book.Because the adoptive father was the same as before, there was no abnormality, so Fang Yan could not tell what illness he would have.

Fang Yan walked up to his adoptive father and asked, "Father, do you need me to help you get into the ambulance?"

The adoptive father raised a hand: "Hold me over, I can't walk anymore."

"it is good."

Fang Yan nodded, bent down, and the hand raised by his adoptive father fell on his shoulder.Fang Yan put one hand on his adoptive father's waist and one hand on his thigh. When he picked him up, Fang Yan was startled. He didn't expect his adoptive father to be so light, much lighter than he thought.

Fang Yan could hardly believe that an adult could be so light. His adoptive father seemed hollow, with only an outer layer of flesh. He seemed to be as heavy as an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

When he picked him up, Fang Yan saw that his adoptive father's face was pale, he was clenching his teeth, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his head. Fang Yan considered whether to ask his adoptive father what was wrong, but before he could think of it, he already At the bottom of the steps, the nurse had already opened the back door of the ambulance.

So lightly and easily, Fang Yan moved his adoptive father from indoors to outdoors, and carried him from the living room to the ambulance.

Sitting in the car, he still felt a little surprised.

Fang Yan was sitting in the ambulance. When the car drove out, he looked out the window at the familiar house and yard, as well as the pomegranate tree.Looking at his adoptive father lying on the stretcher, Fang Yan felt that the world was quietly changing beneath the calm surface. It was really changing with each passing day. You had no idea about the many changes.

Just like my adoptive father, I don’t know when he got sick and when he started to become so mild.

After arriving at the hospital, after the examination, the doctor looked at Fang Yan seriously and asked, "Why did you just send your father here now?"

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't even know he was sick. He just called me for the first time today to tell me. When I received the call, I called an ambulance immediately."

"At your father's level, he has been experiencing level [-] pain countless times every day for at least two or three months. Don't you know?" the doctor rolled his eyes at Fang Yan and asked.

Fang Yan was speechless. He really didn't know. In the past two or three months, he had been home more than ten times, but he didn't feel anything abnormal every time. If he did, he would definitely send his adoptive father to the hospital. examine.

The doctor snorted: "I even doubt whether you are my biological child."

Fang Yan wanted to tell the doctor that there was no doubt that I was not his biological child.However, he felt that it was not appropriate to say this at this time, so he did not say it.

The result of the examination was that my adoptive father had pancreatic cancer. It was not terminal, but he was already at the point of death.

The adoptive father's own premonition was accurate. He lay in the hospital bed for two days and then died.

At this rate, Fang Yan calculated it, and it was true that if his adoptive father had not called him, when he went to deliver things to him as usual once a week, he would have opened the door and walked in. His adoptive father would have just died on the sofa not long ago.

The adoptive father is hospitalized. During the past two days, Dialect occasionally appeared in the unit during the day. The rest of the time, he was almost always in the hospital.

On the second night after his adoptive father was hospitalized, Fang Yan and Noi had dinner together and discussed matters in the company.

After dinner, the two walked to the parking lot and walked to their cars parked next to each other. Fang Yan opened her car door and got in. Noi walked to the other side, but she did not open her own door. Instead of opening the car door, he opened the passenger door of Fangyan and got in.

Fang Yan said to her, "I'm sorry, I still have something to go."

Noi was stunned, turned to stare at Fang Yan for a while, then opened the car door without saying a word, got out of the car, seemed to feel angry suddenly, and slammed the car door with a bang.She then got into her car, and the car quickly backed out. Then, the car roared loudly and sped away.Fang Yan frowned, feeling that he would hear a loud "bang" right away. Noi's car hit a pillar or wall in the underground parking lot. Fortunately, it didn't.

Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yan and Noi turned out to be just colleagues. To be precise, Noi was Fang Yan's most capable assistant. Then one day, Fang Yan himself didn't remember it, they skipped the stage of being lovers and went to bed.

Their current relationship should be more advanced than a couple, but not to the level of a couple. It can be said to be a quasi-couple.Apart from Noi, there is no other woman in Fang Yan.He left everything in the company, including everything in his home, such as paying property fees and monthly water, electricity and gas bills, to Noi.

Including how much money is in the company's accounts, Noibi dialect is always clear.

The two of them each have their own house, and no one has ever mentioned the idea of ​​moving in together, nor have they had a good discussion about what they will do next.

It seems that they were like this in the beginning, they are like this now, and they will probably always be like this in the future, no need to talk about it.

Most of the time, as long as the two of them are in Hangzhou and at the company, they will have dinner together. After dinner, they will go back to their homes or their offices to continue working overtime.

If Fang Yan opens the door of Noi's passenger seat and sits in the passenger seat, it means that Fang Yan needs Noi physically today.Noi didn't make any noise, and there was no need to. He started the car and went home. Fang Yan followed him upstairs, took a shower and went to bed until he was dripping with sweat.

On the contrary, if Noi opens Fangyan's car door and gets in, that's the same thing. This means that Noi needs Fangyan physically today and she will go home with Fangyan.

Just now, Noi was almost driven out of the car by Fang Yan, just like a dog running towards you wagging its tail, only to be kicked by you.

Noy's anger is understandable in dialect.

Fang Yan sat there in a daze for a while, thinking about whether to send a WeChat message to comfort Noi. In the end, he did nothing and started the car to go to the hospital.

These two nights, Fang Yan stayed with his adoptive father in the hospital. He didn't sleep much the whole night, sitting there, either scrolling through his phone or iPad.The caregiver was on the recliner, sleeping soundly and snoring in several parts.

The adoptive father moved on the bed. Fang Yan put down his cell phone and moved closer. The adoptive father opened his eyes and looked at him in the dim light of the ward, as if he had something to say to him.

"Father, do you have something to say?" Fang Yan asked.

The adoptive father nodded slightly and pointed toward the end of the bed. Fang Yan understood that he was asking him to shake the bed. He wanted to sit up and say.

Fang Yan shook the bed, walked back, looked at his adoptive father, and thought that his adoptive father probably had some last words to say.

The adoptive father's back suddenly left the pillow he was leaning on, and he sat upright on the bed, his eyes sparkling. He looked at Fang Yan with a straight gaze, but Fang Yan felt that his adoptive father's gaze passed through him, and he was transparent.

The adoptive father spread his hands and began to talk nonstop:
"I've made it clear to you, it's 170 centimeters. It's so long. It's not 170 centimeters. Do you know? It's 170 centimeters. You have to use solid wood and tenons. You can't use nails or carpenter's glue. That's not strong. , Tofu rack, do you know? The nails will rot, the wood is still good, but the nails will rot first, do you know?"

"I know, I know." Fang Yan nodded, and then asked: "Father, what do you want to say?"

The adoptive father still looked at him, his eyes still looking straight through him, but the light in his eyes slowly went out, and he withdrew the gaze that passed through him. He sighed, his body went limp in an instant, and then he closed his eyes. .

Fang Yan shook his head and rocked the bed again.
