Chapter 9: The Familiar Man Is Gone

It was getting dark, and it was raining lightly, I turned around and was about to take a taxi to send Du Yuan back, but the raised hand was pressed down by Du Yuan, and Du Yuan held my wrist: "Take me back on a bicycle, and accompany me to rain again today." ”

I looked at Du Yuan, and I agreed to her in a daze, and walked to the shared bicycles on the side of the road and took out my mobile phone to scan one, these shared bicycles have only one seat: "It's not easy for two people to sit, just one seat, let's take a taxi back." ”

Du Yuan shook his head, rejected my proposal, and then walked to the side of the car, got into the car, and supported his legs in front of me, I couldn't help it, and got into the seat.

Luckily, the car was also electric, so I started the car and pedaled it when it got up. In the rain, Du Yuan and my hair were the first to get wet, and she sat on my lap while supporting her body, one hand pressed the corner of her skirt, and her wet hair slapped against my face.

Sometimes Du Yuan would turn his head to look at me, I didn't look at her, I looked ahead, and when I arrived at an intersection, I didn't expect that there would be traffic police directing traffic there on such a rainy day, and the evening rush hour had passed.

The traffic police stopped us, I stopped the car and let Du Yuan get down first, and then I also got out of the car, and we looked at the traffic police comrades helplessly: "Do you know that it is dangerous for you to ride like this?"

I was dumbfounded by the words of the traffic police comrade, it is indeed like this, I apologized to the traffic police comrade for my behavior, and promised that it would not be like this.

"Next time, pay attention, on a rainy day, take your girlfriend to take a taxi back, this is not only dangerous, but also easy to get sick, whether it is better to save money or to spend money when you are sick, the body is important. ”

There is no problem with what the traffic police comrade said, but the problem is that Du Yuan, who was on the side, covered his mouth and smiled at this time and watched me being trained. After I apologized again: "You too, pay attention to your body on duty." After bowing, the traffic police comrade waved his hand to us, and I pulled Du Yuan towards the intersection: "How far is it from your home?"

After sending Du Yuan home, I took a taxi back and took a shower first, the whole person was wet, I scolded myself for being a fool while taking a bath, and I took a walk with a woman I hadn't known for a long time, and I accompanied her in the rain.

Did I really agree to join her because I coveted her beauty? I shook my head, dried my hair, looked at myself in the mirror, and thought it was time to cut my hair.

I haven't cut my hair for a long time since I came back, and the state of the whole person and the hairstyle at this time are really how decadent and decadent I amuse, but Du Yuan doesn't seem to care about my image at all, and he hasn't mentioned it to me.

I'm lying in bed, I don't know how today's interview will be, let's find a suitable job to transition over during this time, and I can't be idle all the time because of emotional matters.

The phone rang at this time, I thought it was my dad's phone, I don't know what happened when he called so late: "Hey, Dad, what's wrong, call so late." ”

"The grandmother in the back is gone, and Li Dong's mother is gone. ”

I didn't believe it for a moment, Li Dong was a few years older than me, but his grandfather's generation got married late, and his grandfather got married late, his father and my grandfather were the same generation, and Li Dong and my father were the same generation.

I received this information for the first time, and the indescribable feeling in my heart, although I don't have much contact with Li Dong, but after all, I have played since I was a child.

In the past few years, I have heard from my dad from time to time that who is leaving in the village, I am always very sad to hear it, those people I used to be familiar with have disappeared in this world one after another, I don't know, Li Dong is not much older than my mother, how can he leave.

"What is the reason?"

"Cerebral thrombosis, lying at home for a long time, walked last night. ”

After listening to my father's answer, I was silent, I don't know if they will have such a day, but I know that this day is slowly approaching, and one day I will also experience such a parting of life and death.

I can't accept it, but this day will come sooner or later. Dad didn't see me reply for a long time, and called out to me: "Da'er, did you hear me?"

"Well, got it. ”

"Can you come back tomorrow?"

"I'll go back tomorrow morning, you have to take care of your grandfather at home, and yourself, grandpa is alone in his hometown, and he goes back to see it from time to time. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home tomorrow, and we'll go over together. ”

After hanging up the phone, my mood couldn't calm down for a long time, I knew the pain of losing a loved one, and I didn't know what happened to Li Dong at this time.

This reminds me of my sophomore year, my mother called me and told me that my second uncle had cancer, and then on December 28, I rushed back from school on vacation, and when I arrived at the hospital at night, I looked at my second uncle, who had lost a lot of weight, with a lot of tubes inserted in his body.

My mom secretly told my second uncle that there was a hole in his back and that the fluid was coming out. I walked to the second uncle's bedside: "Second uncle." The second uncle looked at me a little, nodded, and then closed his eyes.

I knew that the second uncle was very uncomfortable at this time, and he didn't have the strength to answer me, so I sat on the chair at the foot of the bed, and my grandfather had just eaten and sat next to me, and I called my grandfather and covered my face.

I couldn't hold back my emotions, I cried, but I didn't cry, I lowered my head, my grandfather patted me on the back and brought me a piece of paper, I looked up and wiped my tears, and saw the second uncle looking up at me with difficulty, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and lay back again, I remember that look.

The second uncle was sent back to his hometown by ambulance on the night of the 29th and walked in his hometown. On the way to buy a shroud with my little grandfather, my little grandfather said: "Child, why don't you come back early, your second uncle has been waiting for you, I saw you yesterday, and I am looking forward to going back to my hometown today. ”

After listening to my grandfather's words, I didn't know what to say, when my mother told me, she said that the operation was very successful, and I also checked it on the Internet, and it is possible to live for three or five or even ten years, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly

I struggled to move my head up, leaned on the back of the seat of the car, and heard the little grandfather's sentence that your second uncle has been waiting for you, and all my emotions were out of control in an instant.

I thought about that night, I went back after buying a shroud, and at 12:38, my second uncle left, and I didn't know what was wrong at that time, and I couldn't cry.

Seeing everyone else crying, I don't know why I didn't feel like crying at all, and when I felt that, it was all gone.

I picked up my mobile phone, I was thinking about whether to call Li Dong, thinking about it or not, he is probably not in a good mood now.

Then Du Yuan's message also came, she said: "I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

It's just that I'm not in the mood to pay attention to her at this time, what I think is that Li Dong has lost his dearest person, this kind of pain I can feel, I don't know how to comfort him when I see him tomorrow

Maybe it's better not to say anything, all the comfort is minimal at the moment of loss, and that feeling can only be experienced by oneself.

When I was a child in the countryside, those familiar people were almost gone, I think, they are gone, but also take away my memories, about there, carrying my initial happiness, the familiar people in my memory seem to disappear one by one, I can't help but feel inexplicably sentimental.

I slowly and slowly learned that the so-called parent-child relationship just means that your fate with him is to constantly watch his back drift away in this life and this life. You stand at this end of the trail and watch him fade away at the bend in the trail, and, in his back, silently tell you that you don't have to chase.

In their lifetime, everyone will be orphaned, but sooner or later.
