Don't break it, I'm bent

Chapter 6

The cemetery also started to be built three years ago, and it has not yet been completed. The green plants are half planted, and the steps are only covered with a thin layer of lime. When it rains, the trouser legs and shoes are covered with mud.

Especially the side door, where the workers mix lime on weekdays, has now formed a thick layer of limestone floor, and because Cheung Chau is hot and humid, the limestone floor is not dry, but anyone who walks through there no matter what the weather is , the soles of the shoes have to rub a thick layer of lime.Therefore, not many people go through the side door.

Jiang Yun didn't care, there was no other reason, just for convenience, and he had long legs, so he could even cross the limestone floor.

As before, Jiang Yun "kicked" twice, stepped across the plaster floor, and then walked towards the upper steps.

The cemetery is built from the bottom up, and Grandma Jiang's cemetery is on the third step of the third floor.Grandma Jiang's funeral was handled by Jiang Yun, and he only bought the location of the cemetery after hearing from Mr. Feng Shui that it was a good place.

The first few days after Grandma Jiang was buried was when Mother Jiang was most sober. At that time, Mother Jiang ran here almost every day, and she sat by the tombstone all day long.It was during that period of sobriety. After that period of time, no one mentioned it, and Mother Jiang forgot everything.

Later, when she was studying at university and living on campus, Jiang Yun had no one to take care of Jiang's mother, so Jiang Yun found a nursing home near the cemetery, killing two birds with one stone.

When Jiang Yun saw Mother Jiang, Mother Jiang fell asleep leaning against the tombstone.

Jiang Yun put her coat on Mother Jiang and sat down too.In the past three years since grandma passed away, many things seemed to have remained the same, for example: Mother Jiang was still unconscious, or he was still living as before.But it seems to be different again, Xie Ran is back.

Jiang Yun instinctively rejected and avoided, he didn't know how to face Xie Ran?Now, such a distressed appearance is really not suitable for reunion after a long absence.

Jiang Yun filled her grandmother with the Laobaigan brought by Jiang's mother. When Grandma Jiang was alive, she liked to drink Laobaigan during New Years and holidays. According to the old man's words: Drinking alcohol will relax your muscles and bones, and you will live to 99.Jiang Yun is always in charge of her, and can only drink a small cup each time.

The old lady was wearing a small brown sweater vest, holding a small bowl, she looked like an old child, playing tricks on Jiang Yun, and suppressing him with seniority, but it was useless. Jiang Yun always answered the old lady: "You No matter how loose the muscles and bones are, I'm afraid they will fall apart."

Whenever these words came out, the old lady would raise her crutches angrily, as if to beat him up.Knowing that the old lady would not beat him up, Jiang Yun liked to pretend to be scared, which made the old lady blame herself.

"Drink alcohol to loosen your muscles and bones, and live to 99." Jiang Yun also drank a cup himself.

Of course, the old lady didn't make it to 99.She was only 74 when she died.Advanced brain cancer, plus heart disease, can't be cured. The old lady is unwilling to treat it without telling Jiang Yun. In fact, she is unwilling to spend so much money.The old lady has lived a frank life, but she feels guilty towards Jiang Yun's mother in her heart.

Sometimes, the old lady thinks, maybe she insisted on letting her daughter finish college, and her future path may be different, at least she won't go crazy like that.

By the time Jiang Yun knew, the old lady was already lying in the intensive care unit.When the old lady was watering the flowers in the yard, she fainted. It was the neighbor who called the ambulance.When the doctor handed the critical illness notice to Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun still refused to accept it, as if it wasn't true if he didn't accept it.But the reality is that the old lady left six hours after the hospital issued a critical illness notice.In fact, the old lady didn't open her eyes until that moment.She walked quietly, without a trace of pain on her face, which may be considered a kind of luck.

Throughout the funeral, Jiang Yun did not shed a single tear. He arranged the funeral process in an orderly manner until the entire funeral was arranged. He cried all night in front of the old lady's tombstone.

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Yun seldom cried, and even that incident didn't make him cry.But Jiang Yun respected and loved this grandmother who hadn't lived with them for a few years.Back then, Jiang Yun brought his delirious mother back to his hometown in Changzhou City. Before he could enter, he was beaten up by the old lady with a cane.

After beating the man, the old lady leaned on crutches again, took medicine to wipe him off, scolded Jiang Guocheng while wiping, scolded and laughed.The old lady said: "Okay, after so many years, it can be regarded as coming back." After finishing speaking, the old lady pulled Mother Jiang into the house with red eyes, leaving only one sentence: "The room is still reserved, please bring your luggage in." .”

At that time, Jiang Yun knew that this way of getting along with relatives can also be used.

Grandpa Jiang left early, and the old lady was able to get by with her pension alone, but the arrival of Jiang Yun's mother and son, for the old lady, was doomed to be difficult financially.Jiang Yun was still studying, and Jiang's mother spent a lot of money on seeing a doctor.

The old lady took out the coffin but couldn't last long. In the end, Jiang Yun chose to secretly drop out of school behind the old lady's back to reduce the burden on the family.

Jiang Yun always remembered that when the old lady learned that he was washing dishes in a restaurant, she almost broke his leg.

That was the first time Jiang Yun saw the old lady cry. The old lady cried red eyes and begged him to go back to school.The old lady said: "Even if I sell the house, I will still let you study."

Jiang Yun has always been sensible, so he refused.He told the old lady that he would just take a year off from school and return to school after saving enough money.The old lady didn't agree, but she didn't interfere with him anymore. She knew the grandson.

Legally, child labor cannot be employed.Uncle Wang next door is also a good person, willing to let Jiang Yun help in his restaurant as an uncle and nephew, and the salary is not too small.

In this way, Jiang Yun washed dishes in the restaurant for a year.

Uncle Wang's restaurant is not big, and the kitchen is pitifully small, so the dishes can only be washed in the sink in the back alley.The water pipes in the back alley only have cold water, and hot water has to be boiled in a large pot.It's okay in summer, it's just cool to wash in cold water, but it's really a pain in winter.It takes time to boil water in a big pot, and the water cools quickly. When there are many people, it is impossible to boil hot water one pot after another, as long as the water does not freeze.

Therefore, most of the time in winter, Jiang Yun's hands were covered with a white layer of ointment.The chilblain was very itchy, and he tried not to scratch it, because it would break if scratched, and it would rot if it was broken, and it would be even more uncomfortable if it rotted.

Jiang Yun always wore woolen gloves at home to avoid worrying the old lady, but later the old lady saw her frostbitten hands.This time, the old lady did not agree to let him wash the dishes again.Jiang Yun agreed to the old lady and didn't go to wash the dishes anymore. She paid half of her salary and went back to school to continue her studies.

"What are you doing here?" A sharp female voice interrupted Jiang Yun's thoughts. ?
