Chapter 20 Cemeteries and Hospitals
With a heavy heart, I came to the dormitory in the suburbs with flowers in my hand, and it was still the long road paved with flowers, and the dense woods on both sides, people wearing dark clothes and sunglasses, walked this long road to meet their relatives, and infinite sorrow filled this quiet and solemn small city.
Yin and Yang are separated by two lives, passing on the tears in their hearts, thousands of memories are in their hearts, the suffering of eternal parting lingers in all corners of the world, and neat and orderly tombstones stand in the sun.
Flowers, incense burners and wine are displayed in front of the tombstones. On the stele, the handsome Wei stele and the imitation Song Dynasty record the noble virtues of the deceased, the most beautiful moment of the deceased's life is happy on the stele, the fate of life is just like this, and how many people can escape this kind of ending, it is nothing more than early and late.
It doesn't matter if you fight, whether you grab it, whether it's interests, or whether it's status. In the end, it's not that life doesn't bring it, and death doesn't bring it.
Come naked, walk barely. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and when I came to Xiao Ling's tombstone, I still had that delicate face, short hair with ears, a square face, a high nose bone, dark and bright eyes, and a slightly upturned mouth, full of kindness and confidence.
Place the rose in front of her monument. Looking at her quietly, tears welled up in my eyes. How good it would be if she lived, she loved me, everything was for my sake, and she was so strong that she couldn't see others living better than herself.
Maybe this is the arrangement of fate, so that she was swallowed up by the ugly face of society. Although the fate is tragic, it is also prematurely liberated, and we have to keep trying.
Fortunately, there are flowers and wine to accompany her, I don't know if she is lonely here alone, whether she misses her relatives.
How is she doing here? Did I make a very good friend, I wondered. Bursts of miserable cries, rows of solemn salutes of relatives, and photos of the deceased, old and young, big and small, filled my heart with infinite sadness and depression.
You have to take good care of yourself here, I am living well in the world, my colleagues in the insurance company take good care of me, I have a lot of relatives and friends around me to take care of me, don't worry and feel sorry for me.
I'll take good care of myself. You can rest assured. As I was thinking about it, my phone rang. It was Sister Hong who called.
"Where have you been, you're in a hurry here. Sister Hong said loudly.
"What's wrong?" I asked anxiously.
"You hurry to the 3rd floor of the orthopedic hospital, Xiaoling fell down the stairs and broke her leg. I'm currently undergoing surgery at the hospital. The people in our group have all come, and they sent you, where have you been? Before I could finish, the phone hung up.
I hurriedly took a taxi and rushed over. The orthopedic hospital is located in the center of the city, the road is very congested, I got off the car in advance and trotted into the hospital, the pace of the hospital is very fast, the doctors and nurses follow the clockwork, shuttling through the emergency hall of the orthopedic hospital, people are waiting in a long line to register, the emergency hall is crowded with people, not so much crowded with people, but crowded with stretchers, the patients on it grinning, so not painful.
There were migrant workers who had accidents at the construction site, and there were also students who were carried from the school. There are countless men, women and children, so it's no wonder that doctors and nurses are so busy.
There aren't enough people. I went down the escalator straight to the third floor. Sister Hong anxiously greeted me at the door, and when she saw me, she didn't wait for me to speak, she grabbed my hand and said quickly: "If you have nothing to do, you will run blindly by yourself, and you will not tell Xiaoling where you go, don't you two usually go to the business together, today is good, she is a little girl's family and a stranger visit, something happened! You kid, I don't know what you think about every day." I said helplessly, "How did she fall down the stairs?"
"You still have the face to ask, Xiaoling knocked on the door, the main family opened the door without paying attention, the family raised the golden retriever dog came out, the little girl's family was timid, I was afraid that it would break down from the staircase, and I couldn't move at that time. The doctor has already laid a splint for her, and it has been a hundred days since she broke her muscles and bones, mainly to raise her. I couldn't get off the ground for a while. "While talking, we have come to the ward, Sister Hong may have forgotten, and still held my hand tightly.
Xiao Ling's already painful face added a little sour taste. Sister Hong didn't think about it so much, and gently let go of her hand.
I saw the supervisor negotiating with Xiaoling's parents solemnly.
"Anything else, I don't care, I know that my daughter went to work in the insurance company in the morning, and it became like this at noon, you must give us two an explanation, don't mention those idle ones to me, I don't listen, I'll ask you, what should I do about this? Let a little girl go to a strange visit, you really want to figure it out, this is a broken bone, what if it makes the family give it, do you explain it, look at the person you wear like a dog." That's how you use people. You have to give me an explanation today, or I'll call the police. Xiaoling's father said indignantly, and her mother echoed beside her.
"You report, who stopped you, if you don't call the police today, you are raised by me. Give you your mobile phone, use my police, you can't report it today. "I didn't wait for Sister Hong's machine gun to finish shooting.
Director Zhang said softly to Sister Hong: "Shut up, who let you speak, do you talk to others like this, are you spoiled at home, hurry up and apologize to others, is there anyone who talks to the elders like this?" Sister Hong stopped talking when she saw that the supervisor was in a hurry.
Director Zhang said to Xiaoling's parents: "Don't worry, Xiaoling's child is very hard working in the insurance company, and he is also very strong, the responsibility for today's incident lies in my failure to manage it well, we bear all the medical expenses, nutrition expenses, wages, etc., you can rest assured." We're not going to shirk our responsibilities. Several of us took turns on duty to take care of the children. Do you think that's good?"
"It's like a sentence, but what about the mental loss, and the shadow that this injury has caused to our children?"
"Dad, don't talk about it, Zhanye is my own go, and it has nothing to do with our colleagues in the three groups and Director Zhang, so don't embarrass them. Xiaoling begged them bitterly.
"What do you know about your little kids, don't shut up yet. Xiaoling was stopped by her mother. Director Zhang was also very embarrassed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiaoling's parents were going to knock on a pen.
Otherwise, it's not over.
"Say a number?" said a crisp, soft voice. Look in the direction of the sound. The round face, willow leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, dark eyes shimmering in the eye sockets, high nose bridge, pointed chin, pink mouth, long eyelashes.
Who else can there be, ordinary people don't dare to say it so simply, and Sister Hong has this strength.
"Okay, the little girl is happy, she is worthy of the female version of the little whirlwind Chai Jin, the chivalrous and courageous little Meng Wei. Can you afford 100,000? Sister Hong smiled: "I thought it would be too much, Wu Dalang flew a kite." As he spoke, he casually took out a large-screen mobile phone with the Apple logo and said a few words.
After a while, a 911 stopped in front of the orthopedic hospital, and the black and red pony logo was dazzling.
I saw a tall man wearing a Prada limited edition casual wear, Polaroid sunglasses covered his eyes tightly, quickly trotted upstairs, and handed a cash check for 100,000 yuan to Xiaoling's father.
Then he quickly descended the stairs, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the dazzling pony disappeared in the crowd of people on the street.
Everyone stammered when they saw this. In this situation, Xiaoling's parents were also stupid, and went straight to the bank with a check.
