Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Cheung Chau has a lot of rain, especially in autumn.
The damp and cool water vapor, accompanied by the autumn wind, enters through the vents, bringing a biting cold.
Jiang Yun sat in the morgue all night, thinking nothing, he didn't know what to think?
Xie Ran was by his side, not saying a word, quietly.
At dawn, a figure staggered in, it was Ma Yu.Maybe it was because she was rushing here, but she didn't have an umbrella, and she was soaked in the whole body.
Covering her mouth, she stumbled to Jiang Yun, knelt down with a "plop".
She kept muttering, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Yun looked down at Ma Yu who was kneeling on the ground, a little helpless, he didn't know why Ma Yu would suddenly barge in, and then knelt in front of him and kept apologizing.
Jiang Yun looked at her blankly, didn't speak, and Xie Ran bent over to help Ma Yu up.
"What's going on?" Xie Ran had an impression of the girl in front of him, he knew that she was Jiang Yun's caretaker for Mother Jiang.
Ma Yu replied with a sob: "I'm sorry, if I didn't take good care of Auntie, Auntie would not have died. It's because I went out for a while, and she jumped off the building when she was out of order."
At noon yesterday, Ma Yu was feeding Jiang's mother. Her ex-boyfriend Bai Li who broke up in high school suddenly came here to find her, saying that he wanted to get back together with her. She refused, but Bai Li kept pestering her, saying what? If she doesn't get back together with him, he will tell the people in the nursing home about her past debauchery, so that she can't hold her head up in the nursing home.
In the past, Ma Yu dropped out of school like this.
Ma Yu was afraid that this matter would reach Jiang Yun's ears, and they would never be able to do it again.She knew that Bai Li didn't really want to get back with her. This kind of scum just had plans, but she didn't want to make things ugly, so she went out with Bai Li in the afternoon when Mother Jiang was sleeping. .
Sure enough, Bai Li was looking for her because of her high salary now, and to put it bluntly, he was looking for her money.
Ma Yu transferred 2000 yuan to him, telling him not to come to her again. Bai Li cheerfully accepted Ma Yu's 2000 yuan, looked Ma Yu up and down, "You are really getting more and more beautiful, I really want to see you if I have the opportunity." Reconnect with you."
After speaking, he took the opportunity to touch Ma Yu.
Ma Yu was trembling with anger, but she was afraid that Bai Li would trouble him again, so she had no choice but to endure it.She really didn't know why she was blind before and fell in love with this scumbag?If it wasn't for this scumbag, she wouldn't have dropped out of school, and she would have met Jiang Yun on the university campus, and they would have been together.
Just when she was immersed in fantasy, Zhang Zhi called and scolded her head and face.
When Ma Yu understood what happened, she broke out in a cold sweat.During the period when she quietly came out, Mother Jiang became insane, jumped off the balcony and died on the spot.
This incident was her responsibility. The management of the nursing home held an emergency meeting, and the leaders unanimously decided to expel her.
Ma Yu waited until it was impossible for her and Jiang Yun, she rushed back like crazy, when she arrived, Jiang Yun hadn't come yet, she stayed in the room where Jiang's mother lived all night.
Later, Xiao Zheng, the nurse in the next room, casually raised her mouth, and she realized that Jiang Yun was in the morgue. She ran over regardless, begging for Jiang Yun's forgiveness.
Xie Ran took the person out, and learned the cause and effect from her mouth.
"You go back first, it's really cold, go back and change your clothes, let him be quiet too." Forgive me, Xie Ran didn't mention it.Although Mother Jiang committed suicide by jumping off a building, Ma Yu's dereliction of duty is also true.
Whichever job you do, you have to fulfill your responsibilities. This is the most basic contract spirit. Xie Ran will not decide for Jiang Yun whether to forgive her or not.
While sobbing, Ma Yu thanked Xie Ran: "Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me, and I didn't help you with anything." Xie Ran brought her out because he didn't want her to disturb Jiang Yun. His Ayun is already very sad now, and she kept apologizing and saying that it was undoubtedly He rubbed salt in his wounds.
Ma Yu was taken aback for a moment, then went back in the rain.
After sending Ma Yu away, Xie Ran returned to the morgue.
Jiang Yun was standing beside Jiang's mother's bed, raising his hand to take a look at the white cloth, but the white cloth seemed to be very heavy, and he couldn't lift it up for a long time.Jiang Yun withdrew his hand, he didn't want to.
Seeing this scene, Xie Ran walked up quickly, put his arms around Jiang Yun from behind, put his hands on his, leaned into his ear, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He knew that Jiang Yun would always face this scene directly, and only by facing this scene could he get out of the haze.
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Yes."
The moment the white cloth was lifted, Jiang Yun's breathing stopped. In fact, Jiang's mother didn't bleed a lot, but he could feel her pain. This may be the old saying that mother and child are connected.
"Xie Ran, I don't have a mother anymore." A tear rolled across Jiang Yun's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "I don't have a mother anymore."
Xie Ran hugged him even tighter, and said with a sob: "Ayun, you have me, I am your relative, and I will always be with you." You grew up with me, and I will be with you for the rest of my life. looking at you.
Jiang Yun wept silently without saying a word.
Jiang's mother was placed in the cemetery in Houshan, very close to grandma's tomb and in the same row.Xie Ran said that in this way, they can still visit the house frequently, and if grandma gets tired of living, she can still go and squeeze with Mother Jiang.
Xie Ran took care of Jiang's mother's funeral. From choosing a cemetery to cremation and funeral, Xie Ran was busy.
The funeral was simple, Mother Jiang had no relatives, so the funeral was done directly in the canteen of the nursing home.The people invited were also uncles and aunts from the cafeteria, and Zhang Zhi also came. As for Ma Yu, he didn't know where he went since that night.
Zhang Zhi drank too much, hugged the stool and wept bitterly, saying that he was a loser.It was indeed strange that people like Zhang Zhi would be sad.
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Yun realized that Ah Huang and the gatekeeper hadn't come.
He asked Uncle Li: "Ah Huang He." After knowing each other for so long, he didn't even know what the janitor's last name was, which was a little too much.
"Old Cao and Ah Huang are gone." Uncle Li took a sip of his wine sullenly.
Jiang Yun was stunned, "Why?"
"Ah Huang is greedy, he ate the dead rats in the yard, and they are gone." Uncle Li wiped his face, "It rained heavily that night, Lao Cao went to find Ah Huang, slipped his foot, fell to the edge of the flower bed, and left. "
It was October [-]st, and it rained heavily.
Ah Huang left the day before, and after he sent Jiang Yun away, he disappeared.
Jiang Yun thought that maybe it was because he expected death that Ah Huang crouched in place reluctantly and watched him leave.
Ah Huang, there is no dog that likes to eat buns around him anymore.
There is also Uncle Cao, the gatekeeper. It turned out that he never knew that the gatekeeper's surname was Cao, and his name was Cao Bin.
He could no longer drink the "overnight tea" made by Uncle Cao, and he left before he had time to learn how to make tea with him.
Uncle Li's eyes were flushed, "Old Cao, he likes to lie to me about tea, and my favorite West Lake Longjing tea has been cheated by him, and he insisted on not letting me win a game of chess."
Uncle Li has known Uncle Cao for the longest time, and he also knows Uncle Cao best.
He said: Uncle Cao used to be a laid-off worker in the factory. Back then, because the machinery in the factory suddenly broke down, Uncle Cao's object was involved, and he was turned into a pulp.Uncle Cao asked the factory for an explanation, but the person in charge of the factory fired him on the pretext of rectifying the factory, and even asked someone to beat him up. He was almost beaten to death.He also had problems with his ears at that time.
He went to the relevant department, but no one cared about him, and he was kicked out without even seeing the person.Those years were very chaotic.
Afterwards, Uncle Cao took all his savings and reported to the Beijiang City General Administration several times, and sent people to investigate, and finally gave him justice.
At that time, Uncle Cao was very poor, and he spent all his money on travel expenses. By the time the person in charge of the factory was imprisoned, he was already penniless.
Later, he came to the nursing home to work as a gatekeeper for more than 20 years.
In the past, there was only the old courtyard. At that time, Uncle Cao could be said to be a favorite, and the aunts in the cafeteria would introduce his daughters to him, but he shirked them all on the grounds that his ears were not good.
"He said, we can't delay the girl. He is old and disabled." Uncle Li said so, "He also knows that he is old and disabled, so he hasn't found someone to take care of him."
Uncle Li went on to say, "You know what? He actually didn't want to live long ago."
"He's an old smoker, and even told him not to smoke, I didn't dare to smoke anymore, and he still didn't listen. He ate recklessly, got lung cancer, and didn't tell me." Uncle Li said, covering his face.
The hospital's diagnosis sheet was discovered by Uncle Li when he was sorting out Uncle Cao's belongings in the security booth. It was obviously benign, but he didn't go to the doctor anyway.If it wasn't for this illness, maybe he wouldn't wake up coughing in the middle of the night, find that Ah Huang hadn't come back, and brave the rain to find him.
"Damn old man, can't you give me a call and let me help you find it together?" In the nursing home, only Uncle Li and Uncle Cao are closer. just work.
"Why didn't he tell me that he was sick." Jiang Yun remembered that he had given him cigarettes before, and regretted it.
"It's not like you don't know his temperament." Uncle Li knew that Ah Huang and Lao Cao saved Jiang Yun's life, and he was grateful for their kindness, "It's all over, he was buried with Ah Huang."
When Uncle Cao's body was found, he was holding Ah Huang in his arms. He once said that he had nothing but Ah Huang who had been with him for several years.
Uncle Cao didn't have much savings, Uncle Li paid for his burial, and many people in the courtyard contributed money and effort, finally sent Uncle Cao and Ah Huang away with dignity.
After Uncle Cao left, the yard never recruited a new gatekeeper.
Not being able to learn how to make tea with Uncle Cao became Jiang Yun's regret. Every year during the Ching Ming Festival, he would always bring a few buns and tea cakes to worship in front of their graves.
