Jiang Xinnan held his father's hand and let the tears roll down silently. She couldn't share her father's pain. After several chemotherapy treatments, her father's hair fell out, and he was skinny and skinny, no longer the handsome and loving father she remembered when she was a child.

The father endured the pain and opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw that Jiang Xinnan was still trying to squeeze out a smile, "Back to the city?"

Jiang Xinnan nodded, wiped away a handful of tears, and gave his father a smile back, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat and eyes. She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, the smile that had been brewing would be burst by tears.

Her father patted the back of her hand understandingly, and said, "It's good to go back to the city, it's good to go back to the city, and you must always remember the kindness that people have done to you." ”

Father refers to the fact that Shen Wenwen gave her the opportunity to enter the city.

"Dad is dying, while Dad can still speak now, there are some things that Dad will explain to you as soon as possible......"

When his father wanted to say his last words, Jiang Xinnan couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

"You are the eldest daughter in the family, Dad is gone, the burden of the family will fall on you, your mother, younger brothers and sisters, Dad has entrusted it to you, Dad is sorry for you, you take care of it...... Your mother is old and has a bad temper, you don't have to worry about her; your sister has an honest personality, you have to take her with you more; Dad is most worried about Jiang Hao and Jiang Fang......" mentioned his two sons, and his father couldn't help but cry.

If it weren't for this illness, he could have gone out to work to make money, save two houses for the brothers, and save two dowries, but now he is terminally ill, not only can he not make money, but he has also spent all the family's savings, the house has been sold, and the whole family has rented a house to live. His sons are still young, and it is unknown whether they can complete their studies.

The thought of this made my father's heart ache, and he clutched his chest to the point of spasm.

Jiang Xinnan hurriedly patted his chest, shook his head again, nodded again, whimpered in a low voice, and tears welled up.

"Dad can't see you and your sister getting married, and Dad can't prepare a dowry for your sisters...... Dad, I'm sorry you guys......"

My father's voice was so vicissitudes, his smile was so desolate, and his face was so old, like a big tree destroyed by a typhoon, uprooted and fallen decadently in the soil, but it was about to lose contact with the soil, and it was forever gone.

Jiang Xinnan's father died a month after Jiang Xinnan returned to the city.

The funeral was very simple, the funeral home rented a car, and the body was transported to the crematorium for cremation, and the mourning hall rented by the funeral home did not spend money to decorate, and the urn was still bought by Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu.

Although the funeral was simple, the cries of the wives and children were very grand, the four children whimpered, and the mother's wailing moved passers-by, and Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu also burst into tears.

After the funeral, Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu accompanied Jiang Xinnan and her family home.

Seeing the Jiang family's rented house, the two girlfriends couldn't help but feel sad.

Before Jiang Xinnan's father died, although the Jiang family was not a wealthy family, it was also a well-off family, but now the family is surrounded by four walls, and the family has lost the pillars of the family, and the family of women and children is crammed into a dilapidated small suite in an old community, and the scene is inevitably sour.

Because they had just lost their relatives, the Jiang family was all immersed in grief, Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu did not stay for long, the two of them pooled a thousand yuan and quietly left it on the desk in Jiang Xinnan's room, and then got up to say goodbye.

The two of them walked downstairs in the community, and Jiang Xinnan chased after them.

Stuffing a thousand yuan into Shen Wenxue's hand, Jiang Xinnan said to her and Du Yunshu: "What are you two doing here? I don't care how you two made up this money, in short, how did you two make it up, how to divide it now." ”

"Xinnan, we are best friends, why do you want to see each other like this?" Du Yunshu frowned.

Jiang Xinnan said: "You also know that I am your best friend, not a beggar?

"What kind of logic are you!" Du Yunshu looked at Jiang Xinnan's sportswear that had been washed white and faded, and said, "Do you think a thousand yuan is too little? I didn't have much cash with Wenwen today, you take it first, even if you don't improve the food for your younger brothers and sisters, you can buy yourself new clothes to wear." ”

Du Yunshu said, took the money from Shen Wenxue's hand and stuffed it into Jiang Xinnan's hand, where is Jiang Xinnan willing to accept it? It was Shen Wenxue who stopped Du Yunshu, and she said to Jiang Xinnan: "Your mother is about to cry and faint, you hurry back and take care of her, fortunately you don't accept this money, I did have a lot of pain when I got out just now." ”

"Literature, what are you talking about?" Du Yunshu said in disgust, raising his hand to hit Shen Wenxue's buttocks, but Shen Wenxue skillfully dodged it.

"When did you hit me? You learn from other people's new men, and you hit every shot!"

Shen Wenxue's joke made Jiang Xinan laugh "poof".

The haze of losing a father seems to have dissipated a lot.

After leaving the community rented by the Jiang family, Du Yunshu squinted at Shen Wenxue: "You are really good, people have just lost their father, but you force people to laugh?"

"Do you want to cry for the rest of your life?" asked Shen Wenwen rhetorically.

"Don't cry for the rest of your life, but at least ......"

"How long does it take to cry before it is filial piety?"

Du Yunshu opened his mouth, but he was speechless and choked.

Indeed, the dead are dead, and the living must continue to live, and since they want to live, of course, they can't live crying but laughing. What's the point of crying more for a while and less for a while? It's better to turn grief into strength as soon as possible.

Du Yunshu couldn't refute Shen Wenxue, so he could only convince himself. After convincing herself, she turned her attention to the money in her hand.

counted five hundred yuan and returned it to Shen Wenxue, but Shen Wenxue didn't answer, "I really didn't expect that Mr. Du, you are such a person, and the money you sent out would have to be recovered." ”

Du Yunshu was indignant: "Who told the new man that it hurt to scrape together money at first?"

"But if I get the money back, my conscience will hurt. ”

"Do you want to send her the money back now? You have seen the attitude of the new man, she will not accept it, she has always been not disabled but Zhijian. ”

"Not disabled but Zhijian?" Shen Wenwen "poof" happy, "Teacher Du can change his career to teach Chinese." ”

Shen Wenwen said, holding Du Yunshu's arm and walking forward.

"Where are you going to take me?" Du Yunshu wondered.

"Let's go shopping!"

"Shopping?"

"That's right, who wanted people to improve the food of their younger brothers and sisters at first, and also wanted people to improve their clothes? Isn't it you, Mr. Du? Speaking of not being able to do it, don't you feel a pain in conscience?"

Du Yunshu understood, Jiang Xinnan didn't charge money, they could send her things directly. Can the fish and meat that I bought be returned after it is cooked? Of course, the clothes I bought can be returned, but cut off the trademark to see how she Jiang Xinnan can return it.

When Jiang Xinnan wore the new clothes bought by Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu to class, she was praised by the group of first-grade students in her class: "Teacher Jiang is so beautiful today" and "Teacher Jiang is so beautiful today......

Although he was still immersed in the grief of losing his father, the innocence of the children relieved Jiang Xinnan's sorrow slightly.

After class, Jiang Xinnan walked into the office of the year with a large stack of pinyin books, and as soon as he sat in his position, he heard two "tsk" sounds in his ears. She couldn't help but look up—
