Chapter 42 Accommodation in a small hotel
Li Hanming, Sun Ping and Li had just eaten a little food, and Uncle Cai came back. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that the location and location of the cemetery are optimistic. Then asked Li Gang if the date was set? Li Gang spoke to his sister on the phone and knew that they would be home in a few hours. It's set on "the day after tomorrow." “
"The day after tomorrow is fine."
"Hurry up and pick up the man who lifts the bar."
"Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"I'll go."
"There are 16 people in total, don't miss it."
"Okay."
After Li Gang received the 30,000 yuan given to him by Mr. Li and the 1,200 yuan from Sun Ping, he was very moved. He made up his mind that he must send his father away in a beautiful way, he was not filial to him alive, and when he left, he would send him off with the highest standard in the village.
After he came back from picking up the people who carried the bar, he discussed some details of his father's funeral with his second uncle and several other clansmen in the family.
Li Hanming looked at Li Gang, who was busy with time coming and going, and was very touched in his heart. It seems that overnight, this man who was still a little childish when he joked is now mature and stable all of a sudden, although his face has clearly revealed tiredness, but his demeanor is very determined. Li Hanming knew that Li Gang, who was now his son, was wholeheartedly trying to do the last thing for his father.
Before you know it, the sky has completely darkened, and a few drops of snow have fallen.
Li Gang's wife, Hui Ping, was preparing dinner for the family members and relatives. Li Gang always pays attention to the incense in front of his father's head when he goes in and out. From time to time, he walked over to light a stick of incense, kowtowed three times, and burned some paper money for his father.
Li Hanming followed Li Gang's second uncle, first went to the neighbor's house to borrow tables and chairs, and then went to the town with Li Gang's cousin Liangliang to buy spices, cigarettes and alcohol. Li Gang's cousin, who is also the son of his second uncle, drives a small truck, helping others to pull goods to earn some money on weekdays, Li Hanming chatted a few words with him, he said that the family's business is not good, mainly because the work is unstable, sometimes there is something to do, sometimes there is no work to do. It is also more difficult to get money, and many people call to pull goods, but they do not give cash and owe money. So life is also tight. Speaking of work, he is very envious of his cousin Li Gang's work, and he can send a salary of more than 3,000 to his home every month, otherwise, if he is looking for something to do at home, his mother's medicine money and the tuition fees of his two children will be very problematic. When Li Hanming heard him say this, he became worried about Li Gang's future life.
Sun Ping pulled Li Gang's two children to her side, she held Li Gang's three-year-old son in her hands, and asked her eldest daughter to follow her. She noticed that both children had a fear of what was happening at home, and she wanted to enlighten them.
The eldest daughter seemed to understand the concept of "death", but the younger son looked panicked and asked Sun Ping, "Auntie, why didn't my grandfather speak?" , why didn't he get up when he lay on the ground, wasn't he cold? "Dad called him so loudly, and he didn't answer, is he angry?"
The child's innocent question made Sun Ping even more sad, she thought for a while and said, "Grandpa went to heaven." That place is not cold and has air conditioning. When your dad called him, he had already arrived in heaven, and there was a thick wall in heaven so grandpa couldn't hear it. Grandpa won't be angry with Dad, you know? ”
"Hmm."
At this time, Sun Ping's mobile phone number vibrated a little, she took it out and saw the message sent by Guan Feng.
"How much are you going to donate tomorrow morning?"
Sun Ping replied with a message. "I have given Li Gang 1,200 yuan, and you don't have to worry about mine."
After a while, the phone moved again, "1200? You took all the money from the family??"
"Yes." Sun Ping only sent one word. At this time, Huiping was already asking them to eat something, and Sun Ping had to take the children to eat.
After eating, almost all of these clansmen went back, those who were closer also went back, and those who were far away stayed in the house, and Li Gang's wife gave them a place to sleep and bedding.
Li Gang looked at Mr. Li and Sun Ping, and said with some embarrassment, "The conditions at my home are not good... Before Li Gang finished speaking, Li Hanming patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about us, I saw it when I went to town with your second uncle just now, there is a hotel in the town." You can arrange other relatives first. “
"Then Mr. Li, I'll ask my cousin to send you to town."
"No, it's not a lot of road, let's just walk over."
"What's the line? I told my son to send you there. Li Gang's second uncle beckoned his son over.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, Manager Sun, you came so far to my house, I...
"Don't say it, you have to work hard tonight, and you should persuade your mother more to make her old man not too sad."
Li Gang nodded.
Sun Ping glanced at Li Gang's daughter and son and said, and then said to Li Gang, "Or, ask your two children to sleep with me, you see that you have to keep a wake for your father at night, there will be a lot of peace, and there are so many relatives at home." “
Huiping and Li Gang glanced at each other, and saw that Sun Ping said so sincerely, plus the two really didn't have the energy to take care of these two children, besides, there was no place to sleep, and they had to build a bunk, so they asked the two children, "You and Aunt Sun go to the town to sleep for one night, okay?" “
"Okay." The two children were already much closer to Sun Ping, and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go."
After a few of them left, everyone in Li Gang's house came over and said to Li Gang, "You are really good outside, and the general manager of your unit is here." This is really your dad's real face. He had never seen a few officials in his life. You see that your Mr. Li is so kind, and you also want that Manager Sun, who is beautiful and has a good heart, and after a while, the two children are familiar with her. Alas, no wonder your dad used to praise you and say that you were promising. Now it seems that your dad is not bragging at all, you are really capable. "This is what Li Gang and his aunt are saying.
Li Gang nodded and said, "They are all very good to me." Alas"
"So what are you going to do in the future? After sending your dad, will you go back with them? ”
Li Gang didn't say anything, he turned to look at his father lying on the ground. If only my father could get up at this moment, stand up and say to him, "With me here, you might as well go back to work?" How nice that would be.
The second uncle came over and said, "Gang'er, your unit is good!" It's just too far away.,I'm afraid the current situation at home can't help you.,Look at your mother.。。。 His body, can you put your mind at ease? “
If only my father were here! Li Gang slowly walked to his father's side. Once again, he was keenly aware that his father could not be missing in his life!
After Li Liangliang sent them to the hotel, he walked to the counter first, "Open two rooms." How much? “
When Liangliang went out just now, his father and cousin told him that he must pay the accommodation fees of these two leaders.
$60 for a room. When Li Liang took out the money, Li Hanming held his hand and said, "I'll come." Go back quickly. ”
Liangliang insisted on giving, and then Sun Ping said, "Liangliang, you don't have to worry about us, your cousin is in a bad mood, and he has to keep vigil today, you hurry up and go back first, see if there is anything else you need to do, you can help him more." ”
"This... Then I'll go first. Li Liang came out of the hotel, and he admired the leaders of the two cousins who came back from Shenzhen. Their Li family are all honest people. The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, even if his father and cousin did not ask him, he would pay this money. didn't expect these two to refuse to let 。。。。。
Li Hanming followed Sun Ping into a room first, and took a look at the facilities in the room, although it was a little simple, but the basic things were complete. He said to Sun Ping, "It's okay for you to take two children alone, right?" ”
"It's okay, the two of them are very sensible." Sun Ping said.
"Then you go to bed early. Juanjuan, Taotao, listen to Auntie, go to bed early, goodbye! After Li Hanming finished speaking to Sun Ping, he said to Li Gang's two children.
"Hmm.
"Goodbye, uncle."
Li Hanming returned to his room, closed the door, and lay on the bed. Although my body was a little tired, there were a lot of things jumping in my head. He had seen the situation at Li Gang's home very clearly, and he couldn't go back to work at the Daoguang Toy Factory with them. The old mother at home and two school-going children are all things that Daoguang Toy Factory can't solve.
Speaking from the heart, Li Gang has been serious and responsible in the years of Daoguang Toy Factory, whether it is technology, since he served as the director of the printing department, there has never been any mistakes, good character, love to joke, and enthusiasm for people. Wherever there is a difficulty in the factory, whether it has anything to do with him or not, he consciously faces it and actively participates in it. Which leader doesn't like such a good employee? Li Hanming knows very well that the reason why he has done a solid job in Daoguang Toy Factory and won the trust of the boss is actually because he has several good management personnel. No matter how strong a person's ability is, it is useless, and he cannot become a climate. If Li Gang really can't return to this team, it will be a loss for Daoguang Toys.
On the other hand, it may be that he touched the scene, seeing Li Gang's family today and seeing such a sad scene, his heart was also tight. He really wanted to call his parents, but after looking at the time, it was nearly 9 o'clock in the evening, and the elderly went to bed early. I thought I'd better fight tomorrow.
Parents will always be the people who love them the most in the world, but they are also old now, maybe one day he will have to bear this kind of grief like Li Gang. Alas, although birth, old age, sickness and death are a natural phenomenon, no one can avoid it. But if it really falls on someone's family, it will be unbearable for a while. Just try to be as nice to them as possible while they're still alive.
And Sun Ping's side, she first asked Juanjuan to wash it, and then hugged Taotao to wash, she especially likes Taotao, maybe because he is about the same age as Jing'er, she is very patient with him, very meticulous to help him scrub, and afraid that he will freeze, although there is air conditioning in the room, but the effect is not obvious, when she washed Taotao's buttocks, she found that Taotao thighs were still wrapped in gauze, and asked what was going on. Taotao said that she was scalded by boiling water, Sun Ping looked at Taotao distressedly and asked, "Does it still hurt now?" “
Taotao shook her head.
"Does Daddy know you have a thigh burn?" Sun Ping carefully helped him put on his pants and asked.
"I don't know, Dad isn't at home."
"Then when Auntie hugged you just now, she didn't touch your injury, does it hurt?"
Taotao shook her head again.
Sun Ping looked at Taotao distressedly, and quickly recalled in her mind that she touched the part of Taotao when she picked him up, but fortunately, she was mainly holding his waist and his calves.
She dressed Taotao and carefully carried him to the bed. For fear of touching his wounds.
Juanjuan said, "My brother's burns don't matter, it's about to heal." Sun Ping looked at the sister and brother and sighed distressedly.
There were two beds in the room, but she wanted three people to be crammed together, warm, and reassured herself. She brought the quilt on the other bed as well.
'Auntie, do you work with my dad?' “
"Yes. Do you usually miss your dad at home? “
"Yes. But my mom wouldn't let me say. “
"Why?"
"Mom said that it was hard for Dad to be out there alone, and told me not to distract him. My brother burned my mother, and I didn't tell my father. Dad wants to earn money outside for us to study. Juanjuan said, "He also has to treat his grandmother." “
"You're so good." Sun Ping couldn't help but touch Juanjuan's head.
"It's not early, you go to sleep." Sun Ping covered the quilt for Juanjuan.
She suddenly envied Li Gang, who had such a well-behaved and sensible son and daughter. Although she lives in a hotel, she feels like she is living at home.
This night, she was very homesick, missed her parents, and missed her mirror.
"When you're over for a while, you must go home and spend some time with them." She thought so before she fell asleep.
