Getting ill
By Hanhan

      Once again,he went to hospital with old weakness.His colleagues, neighbors and friends,accustomed to seeing this,hardly came to visit him, and he always felt very lonely.
       But this time a sense of foreboding overwhelmed him.For just a few days after hospitalization , persons in a continuous stream came to visit him. There were his leaders, colleagues, neighbors, friends, and even some others having no contact or rarely spoken with. As everyone carrying bags here,big or small, the ward was stuffed with flowers, fruits, a variety of exquisite packaging nutritious foods here and there.
      Everyone said the same words of comfort.Even hospital leadership came to show their concern, and medical staff were warm and thoughtful unprecedently, which made him jittery.
       He muttered to himself that it seemed really worse! The more persons came to visit him, the more he felt desolate.
      Soon,his son returned,who was working in other city and difficult to come back in the whole year.Was it the very evidence that he was dying?
       He held his son's hand and asked in dispair,"My son,tell me the truth how many days I will stay alive."
       His son leaned over and whispered, "Dad, what are you talking about? It's all right! The dean told me that you're okay, and can go home in a few days. "
      He was in a worse mood, and couldn't restrain himself,    "Son,don't fool me again! This time so many people come to see me, and you come back too though so busy, I must be to the deadline, and there is few days for me!"
       The son smiled and whispered to him,"Dad, I have been assigned back to the city as Secretary Municipal Committee of the CPC."

    病
文/憨憨
      
       又住进了医院，病是老毛病，单位、邻居、朋友见惯不惊，没有几个来看望他的，很是落寞。
        这次，他有不祥的预感，住院才不几天，人们就络绎不绝的来看望他。有单位的领导、同事，有邻居、朋友，有些过去从不来往，甚至很少说话的人也来了。大家都是大包小包的拿着，鲜花、水果、各种包装精美的营养品堆了一病房。大家还都说着同样的安慰话，连医院领导也亲自过来问长问短，医护人员从未有过的热情周到，更使他惶恐不安。
       他喃喃自语，看来这回是真的不行了！看望他的人愈是宽慰他，他愈是心冷……
       很快，在外地工作整年很难回家的儿子也都赶了过来，事情不是明摆着的吗？
       他拉着儿子的手，绝望的问：“儿啊，你老实告诉我，我还有多少日子？”
        儿子俯下身，轻轻说：“爸，你说什么呢？没事的！院长都说了，你身体无大碍，再住几天就可以回家了。”
        他情绪更糟，不能自抑：“儿啊，你不要再骗我了！这次这么多人来看我，你那么忙都专程赶回来了，我一定是大限到了，活不了几天了！”
        儿子笑了笑，在他耳边轻轻地说：“爸，我调回本市主持工作了。”
