Today on Monday, I was busy with the launch of the version all day, and I didn’t have time to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner until after seven o’clock. At this time, my family called.
Usually, I call back, and I usually don’t call me if there is nothing at home. I can’t help but worry a little, is there something wrong at home to notify me ?
I quickly went back to my room to answer the phone, and my mother scolded me right away. Why didn’t she call back on weekends, so she couldn’t sleep well all night— I thought to myself, it’s not like that, didn’t it mean that I forgot to call? Call me, how can it be so serious…
The reason why my mother said this is because I usually call home once every Saturday. Last weekend, I missed the time because I was too busy. I thought I would not disturb the house when it was too late, so I forgot it on the weekend.
After my mother complained, she asked me if I had dinner. I said no, I was about to cook, and you called me. Then she asked me if I wanted to talk to my dad, and I said hand it over.
Dad asked about the epidemic here, and he didn’t say anything after learning that I had been working from home. Then suddenly he mentioned an unfamiliar name and said that he had died a few days ago .
I was shocked: how did you die?
Dad said he died of a sudden myocardial infarction . A twenty-six- or seven-year-old young man rented a house in the city. He told his colleagues that he had a stomachache. He didn’t go to work for a long time, and was discovered after he stinks… A few days ago, the neighbors went to claim the body and cremated it.
Although in our industry, sudden death is not a big news, but it is quite unexpected to hear it from the mouths of people around you. It was a pity to leave so suddenly when I was young.
After I hung up the phone and the two things were connected, I realized why my mother scolded me indiscriminately after receiving the call. She was worried and happy. I thought it was a trivial matter, but under the influence of that unexpected sudden death, they didn’t know what kind of upheaval they experienced in their hearts .
I can’t help but think of a story in “Reply 1988” that I watched some time ago: Azer’s planned plane crashed, and his father went crazy looking for the number to call the hotel to confirm Azer’s safety. I didn’t hear the phone call in the shower, which scared Azer’s father almost crazy. In the end, the dean of the Chess Academy heard the phone ringing and answered the phone for Azer. Azer’s father roared like crazy and repeatedly confirmed that Azer was in the room incoherently… When Azer came out again, his father and him After the phone call, he regained his composure.
The performance of Azer’s father before and after is just like the reaction of his mother and father. Maybe this is the love of a parent.
