Liang Ju squatted there and cried silently, and her grandmother promised her to meet her future grandson-in-law, but it was only a few hours, and she left her like this.

The grandmother who loves her the most, where will she find such a kind old man.

A nurse came to prepare to take my grandmother's body to the morgue, and the relatives who had been around the hospital bed were also helped up.

The body was pushed out of the rescue room and passed by Liang Ju's side, as if she had only regained consciousness at this time.

"Grandma"

She hadn't even seen her grandmother for the last time, and she couldn't just watch her being pushed away.

"Grandma!"

Liang Ju got up from the ground and grabbed the gurney and nearly pushed a medical worker down.

"Family, please mourn and change." The medical staff didn't expect her to do this, so they could only persuade softly.

"Grandma, grandma, I'm an orange, grandma, look at me!"

No matter how persuaded by the people around her, Liang Ju grabbed the gurney with both hands like he was out of control and didn't let go, and the eldest aunt wiped her tears and came over to comfort her, "Orange, let grandma go with peace of mind." ”

Liang Ju's eyes were already red, she stared at the grandmother in front of her who was peacefully closed, and she still didn't believe that the grandmother who had just asked her with a smile if she had a partner would leave suddenly.

The father came from not far away and grabbed Liang Ju from the ground with great strength.

Liang Zhifu's actions frightened the people around him, thinking that he would hit Liang Ju, but who knows, he just pulled Liang Ju's hand away from the gurney, and then asked the medical staff to push the body away from Liang Ju's eyes.

Liang Ju sat on the ground, and his arm was still held in his father's hand.

Liang Zhifu has always had a peaceful personality and rarely gets angry, and the death of his old mother made him extremely sad.

If it weren't for the conflict at the dinner table tonight, the old mother would not have had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and the rescue would not have been effective.

Because it was the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were very few people in the hospital, only a few patients in the emergency room accompanied by their families, and the entire lobby was very deserted.

Mao Dong stood around the corner not far away and looked at Liang Ju, his sadness was all in his heart.

However, he couldn't come forward.

Liang Ju covered his mouth and sat on the ground crying like that, Liang Zhifu Huanhuan let go of his hand and let go of his daughter's arm.

Because, I saw Mao Dong

The other relatives walked out of the rescue room, the aunt and aunt helped Liang Ju up from the ground, and the sound of the mother's leather shoes stepping on the marble floor was hurried.

"Smack!"

A loud, crisp sound.

"How could I have had you bastard daughter!"

He Mei's insult was like a knife that cut more than once in Liang Ju's heart.

Liang Ju bit his lip tightly, and tears kept falling one by one.

He Mei pointed at Liang Ju, "Your grandmother suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and she was killed by you!" ”

Those sentences, like Ling Chi, gave Liang Ju a painful torment all the time.

Seeing Mao Dong standing at the end, his mother was even more angry, and rushed to Mao Dong with big strides.

Mao Dong didn't move, and respectfully shouted to Liang's mother: "Auntie"

"Smack!"

His politeness did not exchange Liang's mother for dissipation, on the contrary, she was even more angry.

was slapped in the face, but Mao Dong did not move at all.

He Mei pointed at Mao Dong, her fingertips almost poking his face, "I told you to keep you away from Liang Ju, why didn't you listen!" What kind of heart do you have! ”

"Mom!" No one could have imagined that Liang's mother would beat someone in public, Liang Ju almost rushed over and grabbed his mother's clothes, and Liang's mother also pushed Liang Ju away regardless of her image and was about to go up and slap her daughter again.

"Auntie!"

Liang's mother's hand was grabbed by Mao Dong from behind, Liang's mother turned around and hit her hard with another hand.

"Smack!"

This time made everyone present stunned.

Mao Dong stood in front of Liang Ju and took the heavy slap for her.

Obvious finger marks appeared on Mao Dong's face, but he still stood there with an unresolved face, and his tone was respectful.

"Auntie, please listen to me, Liang Ju and I are not just a whim you think, we are serious, and we promise each other that we will always be sincere. My affection for her, more than you would expect from anyone. ”

"You" Mao Dong's words made Liang's mother unable to refute the loss of control just now.

"I won't promise you to be together!" He Mei said.

Mao Dong glanced sideways at Liang Ju behind him, and met her with a pair of red eyes.

"I don't expect others to support us, I just hope that you can bless your daughter."

Liang Zhifu walked up from behind the crowd and stopped his wife, who was angry. He turned around and said to Liang Ju, "You go with him." ”

"Dad" This is tonight, Liang Ju has a huge sense of remorse from his heart for the first time.

Liang Zhifu helped his wife unheard and left the door of the rescue room surrounded by everyone.

The uncle and uncle both looked at Liang Ju with a different kind of eyes, they didn't say a word, but their eyes made Liang Ju have a great condemnation of his grandmother's death. It was still the eldest aunt and aunt, who gently persuaded a few words, and also left together.

Before leaving, the eldest aunt said: "Grandma's most painful child is you, on the day of activation, you go to send grandma early." ”

Liang Ju nodded, biting his lip and nodding vigorously.

Among the children, the most painful thing for grandma is Liang Ju, Liang Ju grew up beside his grandmother since he was a child, and the grandmothers of other children have scolded and beaten, only Liang Ju has not touched a finger.

If it weren't for the willful quarrel with her mother tonight and running away from home, grandma would not have had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and grandma fell to the ground when she saw Liang Ju running out of the house.

The family left the hospital, leaving only Liang Ju himself.

She leaned against the wall and slid a little to the ground.

Tears fell silently, and she buried herself in the crook of her arm, and the great guilt seemed to consume her. No one will ever experience that feeling.

There was no sound in the quiet hospital corridor, and the whole world seemed to abandon her.

With a small weight and temperature on her body, Liang Ju looked up with swollen eyes, only to see Mao Dong bending down to drape his clothes over her.

He held out his hand to her, and his voice was warm, "Get up, I'll take you home." ”

***

In the early morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, walking on the streets of Qihai City, all eyes are full of festive red to welcome the New Year.

There was no one on the street, only the lanterns wrapped around the trees were still shining. The red lanterns that are lit up and the colorful lanterns that are constantly shining around the branches of the trees symbolize the arrival of the new year.

Liang Ju wrapped his hands around Mao Dong's neck and pressed his face against his back. Mao Dong carried her on his back and walked along the street step by step on the way home.

The street corners are full of cannon slag and garbage left over from the fireworks, and there are several people burning paper for their dead relatives at the intersection, and the smell of fireworks is in the air.

Bitter, with suffocation.

Liang Ju has been silent since she came out of the hospital, no matter where Mao Dong took her, she was obediently pulled by him, with empty eyes.

Mao Dong took Liang Ju back to the dumpling restaurant, packed a box of dumplings, and took a taxi back to Mao Dong's residence.

Entering the house, Liang Ju was led by Mao Dong and walked to the sofa and sat down. Her eyes were staring at a certain place, stunned, lifeless, except for the tears that kept pouring down.

"Let's have something to eat." Mao Dong heated the dumplings in the microwave and brought them to Liang Ju's eyes.

Liang Ju was like being frozen, motionless.

Mao Dong sat beside her, picked up a dumpling and sent it to Liang Ju's mouth, "Open your mouth." ”

Seeing that Liang Ju didn't react at all, Mao Dong didn't let go, "Obedient, Liang Ju." ”

After a while, Liang Ju's eyes finally moved slightly.

When she turned her head sideways, her eyes fixed on Mao Dong's face, and the tears welling up in her eyes suddenly became even more.

Mao Dong couldn't bear to look at her like this, and his tone was three points lower, "Obedient, eat the dumplings." ”

"My grandma is gone." The sadness in her eyes made Mao Dong's heart uncomfortable.

"I know." He said softly.

Liang Ju looked at him crying: "I promised my grandmother to take you to meet her, she said yes, and said that she would help me with the staff officer." ”

"I know."

"My grandma is gone, and the grandma who loved me the most since I was a child is gone."

"I know, I know" Mao Dong put down the bowl in his hand, gently hugged Liang Ju into his arms, and rubbed the top of her hair with his chin.

Liang Ju rarely cries, and even if she is wronged, she never sheds tears, but this time is different, her relatives have died, and she is still her favorite grandmother.

She wants to cry, but she doesn't want to cry, and anyone who sees it is sad.

His hand caressed her back one by one, gently comforting her one by one.

From time to time, there was the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the window, and when you looked out of the window, the endless black was even hidden by the moonlight.

His girl grabbed his shirt and cried out loud in his arms, a desperate voice like a hammer hitting Mao Dong's heart.

The dumplings on the table were still steaming, but they didn't move after all.

The first day of 2014, the 14th year of 2014 for Mao Dong and Liang Ju, was spent in the grief of Liang Ju losing his grandmother.

Because of Mao Dong's relationship, Liang Ju did not go home, did not hold vigil for his grandmother, and did not put a stick of incense on his grandmother.

Grandma died on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the night of the first day of the new year, Mao Dong went to several shops on the street to buy burnt paper.

After dark at night, he took Liang Ju to the intersection on the corner of the street and burned paper for his grandmother.

The flaming flames burned in clusters, and Mao Dong squatted on the ground, his face red by the flames. He took the pieces of paper in his hand and threw them into the fire.

Liang Ju stood aside with his hands hanging down to his sides, his eyes red.

After burning to the back, there was only a little burning paper left, Mao Dong got up and handed the paper to Liang Ju.

Liang Ju looked at the burning fire and asked Mao Dong, "Can grandma receive it?" ”

"If you believe Grandma can receive it, you can receive it."

Turning his eyes to Mao Dong's face, Liang Ju asked again: "Then can she forgive me?" ”

Mao Dong's eyes lowered and he stuffed the paper into Liang Ju's hand. "Grandma won't blame you."

Liang Ju squatted down by the fire, raised his hand, and gently threw the paper in his hand into the fire.

"Grandma, I miss you."

***

Three days later, on the day of grandma's activation, before five o'clock in the morning, Liang Ju went to the crematorium accompanied by Mao Dong.

Mao Dong stood at the entrance dressed in black and watched her enter, and he chose not to accompany her again, just like that day in the hospital.

Liang Ju has been a lot haggard in the past few days, basically hasn't eaten anything, is silent all day, most of the time he sits at the head of the bed and looks out the window in a daze, and then cries silently.

There are very few people on the streets in the early morning, and only the sanitation workers who insist on working are still cleaning before dawn. Mao Dong didn't leave, he stood under a tree at the entrance of the crematorium, one by one, and kept smoking.

During the Chinese New Year, there are very few vendors selling sacrifices at the entrance of the crematorium. The exhaled breath was bubbling white in the air, Mao Dong thought, in this life, birth, old age, sickness and death, staged every day, every day new babies continue to come to this world, and at the same time, there are many people leaving this world.

Suddenly remembered that year, he sent away his father, and a few years later, he sent his mother away. He knows better than anyone the pain caused by the death of a loved one.

remembered that at that time, he was accompanied by his brother Mao Bei, what happened, at least there was his brother.

If the death of his parents made Mao Dong just lose his parents, then the death of his eldest brother Mao Bei made Mao Dong a real orphan.

Calculate that five years have passed, and Mao Bei's death has been five years.

Mao Dong was not in Qihai City when the accident happened, and when he came back, he didn't see the last time his eldest brother. Because he was afraid that Mao Dong would also be avenged, his aunt insisted that Mao Dong return to Qihai City after two days, and Mao Dong remembered that the days when he was locked at home by his aunt were almost a day that he would never forget in his life.

He threw all the furniture in the house, and even tried to kick the door open, but unfortunately his aunt had to be on guard. There were no windows in the small warehouse, the door was chained, Mao Dong couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and tried to escape from his aunt's house all the time.

The death of the eldest brother almost killed him for him. Thinking about the loss of control at that time, he was really going crazy.

Two days later, his uncle finally released him from his home and gave him a train ticket back to Qihai City.

Mao Dong rushed straight out the door and almost fell down the stairs.

Not eating for several days made him almost collapse, and when he rushed back to Qihai City with half his life, all he saw was a pile of white ash.

Mao Bei's ashes were not buried, and his aunt specially waited for him to come back and personally sent his eldest brother to the ground.

didn't see the last look of the person closest to him, which became a regret that Mao Dong couldn't erase for the rest of his life.

What he owes Mao Bei will not be paid off in the next life.

That night, when Mao Dong was burning paper for Liang Ju's grandmother, he squatted there and silently promised his grandmother in his heart, "I will definitely take care of Liang Ju." ”

He owed Mao Bei and Zhong Ling, and this time, he didn't want to owe Liang Ju any more.

What Liang Ju did for him moved him and left him with no way out.

Throwing away the last cigarette and stomping it out with his foot, Mao Dong took a breath, his nosal cavity was full of cold air, and the desperate coldness of the crematorium.

***

Since the day Liang Ju's grandmother was activated, Liang Ju has never returned to Mao Dong's house.

For several days, the two men did not contact each other. Mao Dong looked for too Yanjie and told her about Liang Ju's family, hoping that she would have time to take time to see Liang Ju.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Mao Dong started working normally. He and Shi Bowen jointly invested in a piece of land, Shi Bowen was mainly responsible for the money, Mao Dong was responsible for the development, and Mao Dong only collected 30% of all the profits.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mao Dong and Shi Bowen had a meeting in the company, and Shi Bowen mysteriously gave him a gift.

Mao Dong sipped his coffee, glanced at the small box on the table, and sneered, "What about your sister?" ”

Shi Bowen smiled meaningfully, "You open it and take a look." ”

The small box is not big, but the packaging is exquisite. Mao Dong opened it, and only a key was placed inside.

Look at the sign above, the brand is not small.

Mao Dong carried the car keys and glanced at Shi Bowen, "What do you mean?" ”

Shi Bowen leaned closer, smug in the air, "Thank you." ”

"Why?"

"Just because of our cooperation this time, I finally raised my eyebrows in front of the old man."

Mao Dong was silent, Shi Bowen reached out and handed him a contract, "Do you want to continue?" ”

Another cooperation agreement, Mao Dong just glanced at it.

"I accept the car keys, not for nothing, the money is deducted from the profits."

Seeing that he got up to leave, Shi Bowen was anxious, "What about the contract?" ”

Mao Dong waved his hand, "I want to take Beixing back and take care of it." ”

"You still want the North Star?"

"Hmm."

―――

Out of Shi Bowen's company, Mao Dong received a call from Yu Yanjie downstairs.

"Hello?"

Yu Yanjie spoke a little fast, "Orange fell out with her family and ran away from home!" ”

Mao Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Yu Yanjie didn't explain for a long time at the Rory bar, and after a while, the phone was changed to a male voice.

"I'm Sun Xiaoshou, let's put it simply, that is, Orange's parents don't agree with you being together, saying that if Orange insists on being with you, you will cut off the relationship between your parents, and you know Orange's temper, this time, the angry ran out of the house."

Yu Yanjie was very anxious over there, and asked Mao Dong loudly over the phone, "Did Orange find you?" ”

Mao Dong replied: "No." ”

After hanging up the phone, Mao Dong called Liang Ju, but unfortunately called a few times, and the phone was turned off.

Winter has not completely passed, it gets dark early, and it is cold today, Mao Dong hurriedly drove around the school to look for it.

There is still a period of time after leaving school, and there are not many people in the school, only the old man who is watching TV in the door pavilion, Mao Dong asked him a few words, and the uncle waved his hand, "I didn't see the little girl you said." ”

Mao Dong thanked him, and his heart was burning in a hurry.

He went to the small shops around where Liang Ju frequented, but few of them were open. The store that Chinese New Year's Eve went to was also not open today, and Mao Dong stood at the door of the store and called Yu Yanjie and asked her if Liang Ju had looked for her, but as a result, there was still no.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the north wind was blowing at night, Mao Dong didn't know what to do for a while.

"She should have pressed a locator." Mao Dong drove along the road to look for it, and at the same time angrily slammed the steering wheel.

Yu Yanjie and Sun Xiaoshou were also looking for someone, but as a result, they found nothing.

Until more than eight o'clock in the evening, Mao Dong had been looking for several places where Liang Ju frequented.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there are not many people doing business on the street, and passers-by are all hurrying home.

Mao Dong's car was stuck in traffic lights, he looked at the flashing red lights in the distance, his heart jumped, and suddenly thought, will Liang Ju go to his house to wait for him?

It's like an initiation, regardless of the fact that violating traffic rules will be photographed and deducted points, Mao Dong turned the steering wheel and turned the car around and went in the opposite direction.

Stepping on the accelerator, it took less than half an hour for Mao Dong to drive the car back to his rented house in the suburbs.

He ran up with a stumble, and met the neighbor's aunt halfway through.

"Yo, I'm back!"

The neighbor's aunt saw that Mao Dong was still very enthusiastic, patted Mao Dong on the shoulder and said: "There is a little girl who has been waiting for you for a long time, I see that the child is pitiful and asks her to go to my house to sit, but the little girl is still shy and refuses to say anything." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of the aunt's mouth curled and smiled even more, poked her head and asked, "Is it the object?" ”

When Mao Dong heard this, his heart finally returned to its original position.

It turned out that she had been obediently waiting for him to come home at the very beginning.

relieved, Mao Dong also smiled and nodded to his aunt, "Well, she is my object!" ”
