Chapter XXVIII
Far away from the simple hometown town to the metropolis, Xiaoying gradually adapted to the busy and tense work and study environment in the big city, I thought that I would work harder, save more money and then rent a house near the university to bring my grandmother to Wuhan, so that I could take care of my grandmother in person, but I didn't think that just after New Year's Day, the family called and said that my grandmother fainted in the bathroom, Xiaoying rushed back to Huanggang overnight, and saw her grandmother in the emergency room of the Municipal People's Hospital。 After a few hours of rescue, my grandmother woke up, it was liver function deterioration, fainting caused by heart failure, and the doctor suggested that Xiaoying take her grandmother home for conservative treatment after a series of examinations the next day, what is conservative treatment, that is, to go home and take medicine and wait for death, grandma has been sick for many years at this age, if you want thorough treatment, then prepare money, you can continue your life with money, what a cruel reality, Huang Shunying felt for the first time that money was really the best thing in the world, after taking her grandmother home, Xiaoying had insomnia all night, how could she make money?
A week later, Xiaoying took her grandmother to Wuhan and arranged to live in the Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan Tongji Medical University, and in less than a week, Chen Chuqian, director of the Department of Internal Medicine, became the attending doctor of her grandmother, this gentle doctor took special care of Xiaoying's grandmother, no matter how expensive the medicine was unambiguously prescribed to her grandmother, and how expensive the treatment was done for her grandmother, and Xiaoying was not worried about money at all, whenever her grandmother asked, Xiaoying said that the money was donated by her classmates in school. After staying in the hospital for three months, Xiao Ying took her grandmother to the hall on the first floor to go through the discharge checkout procedures, although her grandmother's illness was not cured, she could go home to slowly recuperate, Xiao Ying looked at her grandmother with satisfaction, the hard work of these months was not in vain, and she could let her grandmother live one more day a day, and nothing in this world could be more important than the company of her family. Just in front of the window of the payment, Xiao Ying raised her hand to collect the hair on her grandmother's head and put it behind her ear, and suddenly a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels behind her pulled Xiao Ying on the shoulder and slapped Xiao Ying in the face with a loud slap.
"You stinky and shameless vixen, I finally caught it today, you still have the face to appear here, what are your intentions for ruining my family's old king?" The eyes of the entire hall were brushed together, and this loud slap attracted it, and the middle-aged woman became more and more hysterical when she saw that she had attracted everyone's attention.
"Let's see, this vixen destroys other people's families, seduces married men, and causes my old king to embezzle public funds and ruin his reputation, why do you do such a thing that loses your conscience when you are young, why don't you sell it when you say you lack money, why do you harm others, aren't you afraid of retribution? I don't know how your family educated you. ”
More unbearable words in the back crackled like a serial cannon around Xiao Ying and her grandmother, Xiao Ying lowered her head from beginning to end and did not say a word, knowing that it was useless to say more, when the woman was tired of scolding and stopped, Xiao Ying looked up at her grandmother, who was already in tears, and her body shook for a while and barely let herself fall. Perhaps it was her grandmother's expression that made the middle-aged woman stop, and Xiaoying took her grandmother's hand and hurriedly left the hospital. That night, my grandmother didn't know whether she was angry or the old illness relapsed, and she never woke up the next day. When Xiaoying stood on the edge of the bed with a blank mind, dull eyes, and didn't know what to do, she saw her grandmother holding a note tightly in her hand, which actually read,
"Xiaoying, death does not mean misfortune, and life does not mean happiness, let it go, I should have left a long time ago, because my fascination with this world has hurt you, child, hard work, I'm sorry!"
Seeing the block letters written by her grandmother in this line, the words were like blood books on Huang Shunying's heart, and her remorse and anger made Xiaoying's eyes go black and fall next to her grandmother's body. Three days later, my grandmother's body was cremated by the principal, and my grandmother's memorial service was held in the school auditorium, which was said to have been crowded with students who came that day.
Xiao Ying lay on the hospital bed and did not attend her grandmother's memorial service, and from beginning to end, Xiao Ying felt that she had killed her grandmother and was a sinner for the ages. This guilt made Xiaoying depressed for three months, and she didn't go to school at all. When her thoughts slowly got on track, one afternoon, Xiaoying cleaned up the relics left by her grandmother one by one, the teacher's salary has always been poor, and her grandmother has been ill for many years, and the family has no savings at all. Suddenly, an empty biscuit box was found in an empty drawer at the bottom of the large wardrobe, there seemed to be something in the biscuit box, Xiaoying opened it and was startled, there was an old-fashioned invitation card and a post office savings passbook lying inside, and the name of her grandmother Zeng Lanying was written on the passbook. Flipping through the invitation, Xiaoying looked at it and found that it was a wedding invitation, and the content of the invitation was:
Tie the knot
Presented to Zeng Lanying's mother, Lord Taiqi
The wedding ceremony of Mr. Wan Ho Yin and Ms. Wong Lai Wah will be held on the 7th day of the fourth lunar month on the 1st day of May of the Gregorian calendar in 1990
We look forward to your visit
Yin Haoran, Huang Lihua invited
Time: 12:00 p.m., May 1, 1990
Location: Suihe Hall, Harvest Day Hotel, Xinguang Road, Putuo District, Shanghai
Xiao Ying was surprised to see this invitation, because Xiao Ying was 5 years old in 1990, this could not be her parents' wedding invitation, why did the people on the invitation call her grandmother's mother, there is only one possibility, that is, her mother is not dead, her mother is still alive, the woman named Huang Lihua must be her mother, but she may have formed another family, and she doesn't want her current husband to know her past, so she entrusted herself to her grandmother. It must be like this, and then look back at the passbook, from May 1990 to December 2000 on the 1st of each month, there is a remittance of 500 yuan to the account, 10 years down the passbook with interest is 65,000 yuan, Xiaoying can't believe her eyes, it must be the living expenses sent by her mother every month, it must be her mother, I want to go to Shanghai to find my mother. As if a glow broke through the cloudy sky, like seeing a glimmer of dawn in the dazed confusion, drowning in a vast ocean and seeing a flat boat, Xiaoying hurriedly packed some luggage and rushed to Shanghai, Xiaoying had just turned 19 years old that year.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, the dirt of the whole street seems to be washed away by the rain, the air is refreshing, there are occasionally a few hurried footsteps of pedestrians on the side of the street, the sound of motorcycle horns and the sound of the rain hitting the sycamore is like a serenade to make people intoxicated, Junko likes to be alone in a daze on such a quiet night, I don't know if my grandmother will pat my head and say Xiaoying when she sees me so hard in the sky, hard work!
It's midnight now, there is not a single customer in the store, Eric and Vivian have already prepared to close the work and get ready to get off work, just when the two of them are holding a poncho and the umbrella is about to go home, suddenly the two of them stopped their movements at the same time and looked at the tall thin man who was standing under the corridor at the entrance of the Garden of Eden and wanted to enter but could not enter, and was hesitant. Junzi looked out along the eyes of the two, his nose was sour, and the person who came was not Yin Gongzi. Pinching his fingers, this is 20 days since we met, I thought that Yin Gongzi would never come again if he knew something, it's okay, let's make it clear today, some words Shunzi thought that this life would rot in his heart and lungs, stomach, but some people want to turn it over and appreciate it, even if it hurts the lungs, it doesn't matter, what is such pain?
Eric and Vivian hurriedly left after recognizing Yin Gongzi, glanced at Yin Gongzi standing beside him, and Junzi gently patted the stool on the right with his right hand,
"Come, what are you doing standing, come and sit! What do you want to ask, just ask, I'll tell you everything, don't think too complicated, I'm just an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life, say it clearly today, we will see you tomorrow and be friends, I don't want you to avoid me forever in the future."
"Okay, let me ask you, did you do a helping hand during your grandmother's illness, did you do a mistress and destroy other people's families. ”
"Can you tell me who told you this? You tell me who told you that I told you whether I did it or not. ”
"In Hainan, my mother's sister also came later, her daughter Sun Yunsi, you have also seen, she came to grandma's birthday banquet last time, and my mother's sister wanted to match us at the last birthday party, but I didn't think that grandma would take you over and admit that you are my girlfriend. ”
"Oh, I see, it seems that I ruined her daughter's good marriage!"
I don't know if Junzi drank a little too much, and looked at Yin Gongzi drunkenly,
"Did her daughter go to Jiangcheng University to investigate me, and then came to the conclusion that I, a woman, want to sit as a junior at a young age and take care of others, right?"
Yin Gongzi snatched the wine glass from Shunzi's hand, and stared at Shunzi with resentful eyes, as if a fire was burning.
"Tell me that's not true, that's just a rumor and slander from them to slander you. ”
Junzi touched Yin Gongzi's tightly knit brows, and said lovingly,
"Don't frown, frowning won't look good, what if I tell you that what her daughter said is true?" Yin Gongzi will know about this sooner or later, he has always been a knot in his heart, as if he suddenly felt relaxed,
"I'm such a woman, a woman who can sell herself for money, are you satisfied!
Suddenly, Junko's face was flat, and the last sentence seemed to be like a foot of cold ice spit out of his mouth.
Yin Gongzi staggered to his feet and left the Garden of Eden in a huff.
The next morning, Junzi dragged a suitcase to Eric to explain some things and then got up and went to Hongqiao Airport, bought a ticket to fly back to Wuhan, how many years have not been home to see, since 5 years ago the grandmother left the 2-bedroom house to himself after selling it has never been back to see, last night did not sleep all night, the past one by one surfaced, I miss my grandmother so much, I want to go to her grave to see.
The plane has two hours to take off, Shunzi is bored flipping through the magazine, playing with the mobile phone, last night to see Yin Gongzi's appearance seems to be not lightly injured, goodbye in the future is a strange passerby, thinking of this, Shunzi's heart aches faintly, should Yin Gongzi's phone number and WeChat be deleted, just when he was about to delete the WeChat contact, Shunzi felt the need to send a message to Yin Gongzi, and it was not too late to delete some words clearly. Shunzi clicked on Yin Gongzi's WeChat icon and entered the following paragraph in the dialog box.
"Yin Kunpeng, hello, I'm Shunzi, I always thought that I wouldn't tell you about this in my life, because you want to see my unbearable, if you're interested, look down, and delete it if you're not interested!
On a winter night ten years ago, at the door of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Wuhan Tongji Medical College, there was a girl holding a bag and crying for a whole day, she lost the 30,000 yuan of medical expenses that her grandmother's colleagues had worked hard to get together on the long-distance bus, she only knew that her grandmother could not be hospitalized without the 30,000 yuan, the 30,000 yuan was life-saving money, but unfortunately it was stolen by the thief in the car, the girl's brain was blank and only knew how to cry, but did crying work, from noon crying to night no one took care of her, even if someone asked her why she cried and knew the reason after shaking her head and left, the girl felt unprecedented despair。 After sitting at the entrance of the hospital all night, the next morning the girl went straight to her grandmother's attending doctor, Chen Chuqian, and begged him bitterly that as long as she could treat her grandmother, she could sell her kidney and donate her organs, and she would ask a doctor to save her grandmother no matter what. The doctor later agreed to the girl's request, but the girl had to promise to help the doctor do one thing, that is, to accompany the director of another department to have a meal. After accompanying a few meals and singing karaoke a few times, the director was suddenly removed from his post one day, saying that he was embezzling public funds. Later, I learned that this director was a strong opponent of Chen Chuqian's competition for the vice president of the hospital, and he used the girl to put a hat of disorderly behavior and bad style on this competitor, and sent the secretly taken photos to the director anonymously. In this way, the girl became a chess piece in Chen Chuqian's hands, although the girl's grandmother was treated, but later found that all the efforts she had made were useless, and the grandmother passed away with hatred after knowing the truth, and the grandmother left the girl a word, death does not mean misfortune, and life does not mean happiness, because of this sentence, the girl has not been able to let go! Thank you for the joy and joy you have brought to this lonely person in the past six months, I wish you happiness!"
After sending this message, Shunzi decisively deleted all of Yin Gongzi's contact information, got up and walked to the boarding gate.
