Chapter 055: Nervousness

"No cards?" the officer stared at him suspiciously.

Then, he lowered his head and paused thoughtfully, then asked, "Is there anything else you would like to tell us?"

I saw that the man shook his head gently.

"Okay. Thank you for your cooperation!" said the officer, holding out a hand.

So, the man willingly stretched out one of his hands to hold it with him. Then, with a look of pride and a little embarrassment, he returned to the crowd.

"If you still have any information, welcome to report it!" the officer was still agitating, hoping for more detailed information about the case.

Sadly, no one has stood up since.

Therefore, this case can only be preliminarily characterized as an accident suspected of "the motorcycle was too fast and the brakes could not be met".

The police called the funeral home, and after a while, the old man's body was taken away.

However, on the road, the large pool of blood is still so shocking.

After a while, the officers called it a day.

Tian Tian, as a family member, was asked to go to the traffic police brigade and said that he wanted to do relevant registration.

So, she stepped into the police car.

Riding in a police car for the first time in her life, she had mixed feelings.

Later, she also went to the funeral home, of course, to sign. At the same time, she is also learning about the situation.

Because the old man has no children, Tian Tian plans to take the initiative to help him take care of the aftermath.

However, for the sake of prudence, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles and disputes, Tian Tian still planned to post a "family search notice" on TV after thinking about it for a long time.

The purpose is, first, to see if the old man has relatives, and second, if so, to give them a chance to see each other for the last time.

Ten days later, however, she learned that no one had contacted the station.

So, Tian Tian didn't want to wait any longer. After all, funeral homes cost silver to store the body.

Of course, it's all simple.

A memorial service or something is saved. Besides, Tian Tian does not have the contact information of his uncle's relatives, friends and colleagues.

It's just that the urn is the old man's home. This money must not be saved, you have to buy a high-end and exquisite one.

Hey, it's better to buy a cemetery for the elderly.

But how do you buy it, where do you buy it, and how much does it cost?

I don't know anything about myself.

Thinking of this, Tian Tian couldn't help but feel sad.

In the evening, after making dinner, she unexpectedly met Mr. Jiang on the way home.

In a flash, he still noticed his strange expression by the sharp-eyed man.

So, Mr. Jiang decisively stopped her, not wanting to ask the truth.

Helpless, Tian Tian had no choice but to inform him of the old man's misfortune.

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang blurted out: "That's it." So, you live there alone, aren't you afraid?"

"But, what can I do if I'm afraid?"

"Why don't I rent you a room here? I heard there's one downstairs. ”

After listening to Mr. Jiang's sincere words, she was very conflicted and hesitated to say no.

Of course, there is no doubt that she is reluctant to give up the expensive rent. Also, I have lived there for so long, and I also have feelings.

So, Tian Tian glanced at him with his eyes, and quickly looked away embarrassedly, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong with you? Don't want to? Still not satisfied?"

"Hmm. It's too expensive here!"

"You don't have to think about rent, you just have to move in. ”

"However, it is useless. Taking advantage is not my style. ”

"I said, why are you so stubborn? What do you want me to say about you?"

"You really want to help my mom?"

"Of course. ”

"Why don't you lend me some money then?"

"Of course, no problem!

"Nothing. I just want to buy a cemetery for my uncle. ”

"Buy a cemetery?" Hearing this, Mr. Jiang couldn't help frowning, "Are you sure you have to go to such great lengths?"

"Yes. I want to be decent. ”

"But, what are you trying to do? What's more, it is said that the price of the cemetery here is quite expensive!"

"So, I don't think I have that much money. ”

"Okay. No problem, money, I can lend you. But you have to think twice. You are not related to him, and if you can do this, you have done your best. ”

Tian Tian grinned slightly and didn't say anything.

In fact, she just felt that the old man was strange and pitiful when he was alive, and after his death, she wanted to do her best not to make him so desolate.

When she got home, she pushed open the door to the courtyard.

Suddenly, she was in a trance, as if she saw the old man sitting on a chair beside the stone table and smiling at her, and for a while, as if he was watering the vegetables with a sprinkler, and then he walked towards the door with a cane on his back, and the familiar back became smaller and smaller, until he could not be seen.

Tian Tian walked into the kitchen and felt cold and gloomy.

She cooked a bowl of rice noodles and brought it to the stone table in the courtyard and devoured it.

Yes, admittedly, she was still afraid. So, try not to stay inside the house as much as possible.

During the day, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out, let alone at night?

After careful consideration, she went to the hostel and booked a bed for ten yuan per person.

Half a month later, Tian Tian took back the uncle's urn. At the same time, a cemetery plot was also purchased. She plans to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and send the urn over.

Five days later, accompanied by Mr. Jiang, Tian Tian sent the old man to a cemetery in the suburbs to be buried.

After a solemn silence, she offered a large bouquet of beautiful chrysanthemums.

She kept imprinting her emotions, pretending to be strong and withholding the tears that were churning in her eyes, but the moment she turned to leave, the tears gushed out like a spring.

Tian Tian bit her lip tightly, trying her best to control her out-of-control emotions and not let Mr. Jiang notice.

For some reason, at this moment, she suddenly remembered her grandfather, who had long since passed away.

Walking down the mountain, Tian Tian's mood calmed down slightly. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the thought that something big had finally been accomplished.

Along the way, they were silent with each other.

After arriving at her destination, when she got off the back seat of Mr. Jiang's bicycle, she finally opened her lips gently and whispered, "Thank you!"

After lunch was ready, Mr. Jiang strongly invited Tian Tian to stay and eat.

However, there was still no language exchange at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

In order to break this situation, Mr. Jiang took the lead in opening his mouth. He still suggested that he help Tian Tian rent a room in this community.

However, Tian Tian said: "No hurry. I want to go back to my hometown and see my family. The departure of my uncle made me miss my family even more. ”

"It's okay to go back? When are you going to return?"

"I want to be back tomorrow. So, I might have to ask you for a few days off. ”

"Of course it's okay to take a leave of absence. It's just, it's just ·······"

Hearing him stammer, Tian Tian raised his head and stared at him curiously and suspiciously with those big black and big eyes, "What's the matter? Am I not doing well enough and you want to change people?"

"No, no. You misunderstood me. ”

"That's ······"

"We have worked very well with each other over the years! I am very grateful to you! And I have found you to be a delicate and gentle person. ”

"You're welcome! I'm just doing my job. ”

After Tian Tian finished speaking, he continued to bow his head to eat.

"But, over the years, do you know why I haven't continued the strings for a long time? I'm waiting for you!"

After listening to Mr. Jiang's stammering words, Tian Tian was extremely surprised, she couldn't believe her ears, and her face turned red.

Like a frozen sculpture, she looked directly at each other for a long time.

After a long time, she mustered up the courage to say: "First of all, thank you very much Brother Jiang for your promotion and trust in me all the time! Thank you! Unfortunately, I may be about to disappoint you." ”

"Why?" he asked, anxiously and nervously.

"Because, I don't want to get married at all. ”

"But, I can wait. ”

"No, never, I don't want to waste your precious youth and time, and I don't want to be a sinner for the ages!"

He hung his head in frustration with a straight face.

After a long while, he lifted his chopsticks and mechanically put the rice in his mouth.

There was a long silence, and the air seemed to freeze.

The next day the weather was sunny and sunny.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Tian Tian was packing her luggage in her room to go home, and she was unhurriedly stacking the suitcases one by one.

Suddenly, she heard a quick, loud knock outside the door.

She stopped suddenly, her heart full of suspicion. Strange, who could it be?

She couldn't figure out who it might be.

So, she threw away what she was holding, and then got up and walked out of the room.

"Who's coming, coming!" she echoed as she ran down the stairs toward the door.

Since the old man's absence, she has been even more vigilant.

Even during the day, be sure to lock the courtyard door meticulously.

With some difficulty, she pulled the thick, long wooden cork aside, and then opened the wooden door.

I saw a stranger standing outside the door who had never seen him before.

Tian Tian quickly looked at the man.

I saw that he was about thirty years old. Medium build, dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, slightly thick lower lips, short hair, a pair of eyes under black-framed glasses, bursting with wisdom, and a gray briefcase in his right hand.

Si Sven is literate, it seems, like a cultural person.

"Hello, may I ask, are you Ms. Shen Tiantian?" he asked with a smile.

Tian Tian was even more foggy, strange, how did he know his name? Who told him? What was he going to do?

She had no choice but to nod her head in confusion, and was about to ask "Who are you", when the other party began to introduce it in a straightforward and generous manner.
