If you can't come out on time, it means that you haven't passed the danger period.

As soon as I heard the news, I could empathize with Jiang Xi's heart, she must have been at a loss and helpless, and she didn't know what to do.

Because she knew that her mother would not come out of the intensive care unit for a day and a half, and the doctor required her family to be on call 24 hours a day, so she could not go home.

She doesn't always message me, but I'm worried about her, so I message her every morning, noon, and night to ask about the situation.

She always replied: there is no news yet.

I didn't get off work early in the evening, so I hurriedly picked up Jiang Dongxi from the evening nursery, and then took her to dinner, it was very dark, and Jiang Dongxi was going to sleep.

I can't leave Jiang Dongxi alone at home to sleep, and at night, I have to deal with some work, and I told my boss that I have to pick up my children recently and can't work overtime in the company, but I can't really not work overtime, and I have to work overtime at home.

In China, overtime is the norm of our program ape, probably because of the large number of Chinese, you don't work overtime, there are many single dogs working overtime in the company, you always don't work overtime, you will definitely be targeted by the boss, so not working overtime seems abnormal.

Because of this, I didn't go to accompany Jiang Xi for the first three days, although I could only occasionally text when I was concerned.

On the morning of the third day, I sent Jiang Dongxi to kindergarten, and when I was just about to go to the company, I received a text message from Jiang Xi: Husband, can you ask for leave to accompany me, I feel like I'm about to collapse.

I'll reply right away: come at once.

I called the leader and explained that my mother-in-law was in the intensive care unit, and the leader was more understanding, and although the work was very intense, he still agreed to let me take a day off.

I immediately rushed to the hospital, I saw Jiang Xi in that small hotel, her eyes were swollen like cherries, I don't know how many times I cried in the hotel alone in the past three days, how many tears I shed.

As soon as she saw me, she ran to me, and when I was still one step away from her, her body fell directly into my arms, and I hurriedly hugged her tightly, and her whole body showed a state of collapse and no support.

Before I could ask, she burst into tears again, her face buried in my chest, and a low, sad and endless hoarse voice floated out of her throat, "Husband...... My mother...... Maybe it really can't get out, woo......".

Her cry was weak and hoarse to a very small one, and it became more and more evident that helplessness, as if a person was locked up in a room without windows and doors, with no way out and no glimmer of hope.

I felt that everything I said at the moment was pale and powerless, and I could only hold her tightly in my arms and use my body temperature to transmit a little strength and warmth to her.

Other than that, nothing can be done!

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......"

She lay motionless in my arms, and kept making that heartbreaking sound until she cried until her throat was so hoarse that she could barely make a sound, and then she was so tired that she lay down on the bed, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.

I think she probably hadn't slept in three days.

About two hours after she slept her phone, her phone rang, and I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Dr. XX.

When Jiang Xi heard the sound of the phone, he was full of excitement, turned over, snatched the phone in my hand, and immediately pressed the connect button.

I heard the doctor's voice on the other side of my phone: Come to the intensive care unit, see her for the last time.

"Smack!", Jiang Xi's mobile phone fell to the ground, she took a breath hard, a lot of tears welled up in her eyes, her expression was a little wooden, as if she hadn't reacted yet, and the next second, she ran out.

I picked up my phone and hurried to follow her.

When we came to the intensive care unit, the medical staff brought us sterile gowns to put on, and there were serious patients everywhere, and we couldn't see which one was Jiang Xi's mother.

The doctor who operated on Jiang Xi's mother beckoned to Jiang Xi at this moment, and Jiang Xi ran over quickly.

When we saw Jiang Xi's mother, she was out of shape, and I saw a dialysis machine next to her, which was stirring Jiang Xi's mother's blood.

It turns out that the five organs of human beings are all the same, because after Jiang Xi's mother's heart surgery, the heart function has not been restored, and the kidney function cannot work normally, which will lead to the inability to urinate, so the kidney function must be completed with the help of a dialysis machine.

Some patients have been assisted by dialysis, giving the heart enough time to recover, and some have recovered their health, but Jiang Xi's mother, after three days of treatment, the heart function still did not recover, and it is declining more and more, until the doctor feels that it is impossible to return late, so he hurriedly called Jiang Xi to meet him.

Jiang Xi grabbed her mother's hand, her mother was still a little conscious at the moment, she was wearing an oxygen mask, and the sound she could make was very weak and weak.

I also hurried to grab my mother-in-law's hand.

Then, she looked at me weakly but hard and said, "I'm relieved to hand over Jiang Xi to you...... You are a good son-in-law......".

After saying this, as if she had used up the last bit of strength in her life, she slowly closed her eyes, and the last tear in this life flowed from the corner of her eye......

Jiang Xi was out of control in my arms, but this is the intensive care unit, and there are so many patients who are fighting against death like this, Jiang Xi can't let out a loud cry to disturb them, she can only lie silently in my arms trembling and crying.

I couldn't control my tears, but I didn't say a word, I just hugged Jiang Xi tightly, wanting to give her a strong support.

At this time, the doctor said, "This is the intensive care unit, the family can't stay here for a long time, her consciousness will gradually disappear, and there is no point in you staying here, it will only be more sad, and the mourning will change...... Then, you go through the death formalities now, and hurry to prepare the shroud and the funeral, and in about an hour or two, I will inform you to go to the morgue to collect people, and do you need the hospital to help you contact the funeral home?"

I said, "Yes, you can put us in touch." ”

In Beijing, we have never experienced the death of a loved one, and it is most convenient for the hospital to contact us.

The doctor said, "Okay, then you guys go quickly." ”

I helped Jiang Xi, who was basically paralyzed in my arms, out of the intensive care unit, Jiang Xi stopped crying, it seemed that there were no tears anymore, the whole person was a little stunned, as if he had no soul.

I didn't say anything, just silently took her hand, first went through some relevant procedures, and then went to the shroud shop at the entrance of the hospital to buy a shroud for Jiang Xi's mother according to Jiang Xi's mother's figure, a set of clothes with a lot of accessories and hats or something, we haven't done these things before, so I took the clothes and left, and I didn't even look at it.

When we had all this ready, and the doctor hadn't heard from us, we found a bench in the courtyard of the hospital and sat down.

Jiang Xi never said a word, and the whole person seemed to freeze.

I had been holding her hand tightly, and she suddenly turned her head to look at me in a daze, "Husband!"

"Huh?" I quickly agreed.

She blinked and said, "Just now...... The doctor told us to go to the intensive care unit, didn't he?"

I looked at her distressedly and said, "Wife, Mom...... Gone!"

She blinked again, froze for a moment, and said, "Oh! yes! I remembered......"

When she said "I remembered", her tears welled up again, she frowned and looked helplessly, and said in a hoarse voice, "In this world, there are few people who love me, and now the person who loves me the most who has always depended on me is gone...... She was still there three days ago...... At least the people are still there, they can still talk, they can eat, so fast...... It's gone so soon, she can't hear me anymore, and she can't see the Jiang thing she misses the most, husband, I can't accept it, I can't accept it, I can't accept it......".

She trembled and cried in my arms, and stomped her feet with anxiety and speed, as if she was emotionally suppressed to the brink of collapse, but could not find a breach to release.

I quickly tightened her in my arms, held down her trembling body, and fixed her legs with my legs, "Wife, wife, you have to be strong......."

"Husband......" she cried hoarsely, "Am I wrong? I made a wrong decision, I shouldn't let her have surgery, if she hadn't had surgery, maybe she would have lived for a month, two months, three months, maybe more...... I was wrong, I made the wrong decision and killed my mother, I was wrong......! Woo......".

I looked at her appearance, I really didn't know how to feel sorry for her, in order to alleviate her pain, I could only say loudly in her ear, "Wife, wife, you calm down, calm down, she walks like this, not painful, otherwise what if she lives for three months? At most, she will be tortured by illness for three more months, you are right, you are not wrong!"

This matter, no matter how you decide, is difficult, it seems that there is a mistake in doing it, and there is a mistake in not doing it, there is no standard good answer, and whoever encounters such a thing is a piercing pain.

Jiang Xi cried loudly in my arms for fifteen minutes, trembling from crying, crying all over her body with sweat, as if she was tired of crying, and she couldn't cry anymore, and her crying gradually faded away.

It was at this time that Jiang Xi's mobile phone received a text message from the doctor: Your mother has been sent to the morgue.

I took Jiang Xi's hand and led her to the morgue.

When I saw Jiang Xi's mother who was covered with a white cloth, I felt that Jiang Xi's whole body was weak and couldn't stand, I put one hand around her, supported her, and said in her ear, "Wife, you have to hold on! Mom definitely doesn't want you to be like this, Mom is such a strong person!"

Jiang Xi immediately took a deep breath, as if this would increase his strength.

At this time, a staff member asked, "Do you change her clothes yourself or do we change her clothes?"

"Change!" I said.

"If we change it, it's eight hundred at a time, and if we wear makeup, it's two thousand in total. The staff member said.

I thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to wear makeup." ”

I don't think Jiang Xi's mother wants to put on makeup, and I saw her face, walking very peacefully, and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about, so I suddenly thought of the last thing she said to me, "I'm relieved to hand over Jiang Xi to you, you are a good son-in-law!"

Thank you, my mother-in-law, from the beginning I met you, you didn't accept me, and in the end, you praised me as a good son-in-law, but in fact, I didn't do anything, but you have been paying for me and Jiang Xi, doing our logistics, so that we can work and live without worries, and have been happy for so many years.

If you can hear my heart, please accept my gratitude and thank you for meeting a mother-in-law like you in this life!

After the staff changed their clothes, they put the mother-in-law in the large freezer.

With the sound of a metal drawer closing, I knew that my mother-in-law had left us forever, and that I would never see this person again in this life.

Suddenly, this realization is really chilling, human life is so fragile, say no, it's gone!

Jiang Xi contacted her mother-in-law's good friend before her death, and among her companions was a Christian aunt, who proposed to give her mother-in-law a funeral in the Christian way, because her mother-in-law also believed in Christianity during her lifetime.

Jiang Xi agreed.

The Christian funeral is very simple, that is, after arriving at the funeral home, in a small ceremony hall, find a pastor, and lead several Christians to pray, bless, and see off the deceased.

Christians take death very lightly, they feel that death is only a return to the arms of God, the beginning of a new birth, and the sadness of the family is limited, and they will remember the deceased by praying for the deceased family.

Therefore, Christians do not go to the grave and burn incense, because they think that the grave is just a pile of discarded things, and the soul of man has returned to the arms of God, so after death, there is no need to have a grave.

Our family did not have a family or relative cemetery in Beijing, so it was not interesting to have a separate cemetery for Jiang Xi's mother, and finally at the suggestion of the Christian aunt, we decided to sprinkle the ashes of our mother-in-law into rivers, rivers, lakes and seas, which was also a good feeling, and Premier Zhou did just that.

In Christian parlance, when God created man, he created it out of clay and the aura he blows, and now the soul has returned to God, and the body comes from dust and returns to dust.

In this way, our original family of four became a family of three.

For the first three months, Jiang Xi couldn't get out of the state of losing his mother.

I work during the day and work overtime at night, and when I come back, I often see her crying secretly, she has such an emotion, and she has to take care of Jiang things and cook for us, I am a little uneasy.

I called my eldest sister and asked her to take a leave of absence to take care of Jiang Xi for a while, and the eldest sister immediately asked for leave from school.

So, the eldest sister came to Beijing for the first time and came to my house to accompany Jiang Xi.

This incident touched Jiang Xi badly, and later she told me after she was in a good mood that she really needed someone to accompany her during that time, and she was thinking about her mother every day in a daze, and she was afraid that she would knock and touch Jiang things, or forget where to lose them, but fortunately, the eldest sister came, so that she could breathe a sigh of relief.

When the eldest sister takes Jiang things out to play, she can take a good rest, and then start to devote her mental state to writing.

In the evening, the eldest sister, Jiang Dongxi, and I all came back, there were children, there were many people, there was a lot more joy, her mood was much better, and she gradually began to adapt to and forget about her mother, plus her readers were always urging her to change, she was forced to have no choice but to write well.

It's a pity that the eldest sister can only stay here for a week, and the school said that if she asks for more holidays, it will affect the evaluation of the title, and I can't embarrass her, after all, the title is very important to the teacher, so she left in a week.

I thought Jiang Xi's mood was much better, but just after the eldest sister left, she suddenly called me one day and said to me when I was very busy with work, "Husband, I don't want to live anymore, I want to commit suicide, what is the meaning of you seeing people alive? My mother has suffered all her life, and in the end she didn't enjoy a few days of happiness. ”

I was busy at the time, my colleagues next to me had been looking for me to do things, and the leader was also looking for me, I didn't have time to think about how to comfort her, and I had been comforting her for three months, and I had all the things to say, and by this time, it seemed that there was really nothing useful to say.

So, as soon as I was in a hurry, I said, "Don't worry, whoever commits suicide will not kill yourself." "What I thought to myself was, how could Jiang Xi, such a cheerful woman, commit suicide?

That's foolishness.

After saying this, my colleague asked me to deal with things urgently, and the leader also looked for me, so I said to Jiang Xi, "Hang up!" and then I didn't wait for her to respond, I hung up.

About half an hour later, I was not so busy, so I sent a short message to Jiang Xi: Wife, are you better?

She quickly texted me back: "You're coming back now, I'm not going to kill myself, but I'm going to kill you, what do you mean by what you just said? Do you want me to die, so you can find another young one? Do you hate me for getting old? You're inflated now, aren't you?"

But thinking of what I just said, it's really quite annoying, thinking like this, I'm also a little worried about her, so when I'm not busy with work, I ask the leader for leave and say that I will go home early today.

Before I came back, I sent a text message to Jiang Xi: Wife, I'm coming back!

She ignored me.

When I got home, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a woman with a disheveled hair and a fierce face, carrying a wooden stick that Jiang had picked up from outside, standing at the other end of the small corridor.

With the expression of a little sister, she pointed at me with a stick and gritted her teeth, "I'm going to kill you!"

I said lightly while changing my shoes, "I can't kill, I still have to make money to support you and Jiang, but it's okay to sleep, while the child hasn't come back, hurry up and come to one!"

Jiang Xi's face stiffened for a moment, and then he had an expression that couldn't say any emotion, and a few words squeezed out between his teeth, "I'll kill you!"

I looked at her and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you come to kill me, you haven't killed me in bed for a long time!"

"Damn, retarded!"

"Would you like to come?"

In the next second, I saw Jiang Xi throw the stick in his hand and pounce on me like a female bandit, and there were words in his mouth: "Damn, since you can't kill it, then sleep, my sister Xi always has to take advantage of it!"

Me, "......".

Next, the drama of "light, close, slow, twist, wipe, restore, and pick", here I will give myself 200,000 words to supplement my brain (no charge)

Jiang Xi made dinner in the evening, I picked up Jiang Shi, I felt that Jiang Xi seemed to be in a much better mood, and I didn't know if it was stimulated by my words, and sure enough, she also felt that she would not commit suicide if anyone committed suicide, because she was not the kind of person who would commit suicide at all, or because of that or that I don't know, in short, she was in a much better mood.

After my mother-in-law died, although I was very annoyed to brush the dishes, I also learned that Jiang Xi cooked, and I was not willing to use her to brush the dishes once.

When she was lying on the bed and playing happily with Jiang Dongxi, she said in a pleasant voice, "Thank you, husband, oh, if we are old and recall the matter of brushing dishes, I may feel very happy, and then I will say to Jiang Dongxi's children, that is, my grandson or granddaughter, Oh, your grandma is very happy, your master has never used your grandma to brush the dishes in his life!"

As soon as I heard it, did I have something to say? You want me to be a dishwasher for the rest of my life?

While washing the dishes, I turned my head to Jiang Xi with a smile and said, "Then I will also tell my grandson or granddaughter that your grandfather is also very happy, and your grandma has never let your grandfather have a child in her life!"

"Poof!hahahaha!"

Jiang Xi finally showed his first heartfelt laughter in three months!

Jiang didn't know what her mother was laughing at, but she also giggled.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter of our family came back from this day on, and Jiang Xi never had any symptoms similar to depression after that.

It's just that as the days go by, the problem of a family of three appears, and then I understand what is called "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", when Jiang Xi's mother was alive, she didn't see what work she did, but Jiang Xi's mother was gone, and our family soon jumped up.

This has nothing to do with whether the relationship between husband and wife is good or not, the test of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea has just begun to kick off between me and Jiang Xi.

Thinking of the situation of the squad leader and their family, I shuddered!
