Chapter 3: Meeting
The people in the class quickly organized a prayer activity, and the squad leader, who was far away, even rushed over by car. The instructor also came, but the school did not plan to intervene directly at the moment, and I heard the instructor say that it depends on what Rong Rong's parents mean.
"I'm afraid that the school will lose money." One boy said, "School is really impersonal!" β
The classmates also felt that the school was too much, and in this case, the school should take the initiative to give money, even if it could only be a few thousand yuan as a condolence, so that Rong Rong's parents felt that the school was thinking about Rong Rong. As a result, I am afraid of losing money in advance.
Among the students, they spontaneously began to donate, and in addition to the people in the same class, some people from other classes also donated some when they heard about it, and they made up more than 3,000 before and after.
Because of this, students in this city often go back to school during this time, which is a bit like when they go to school.
Qin Qing also goes to school every day, and sometimes there is nothing to do, just three or five or seven or eight people sitting in the classroom talking. Some people are very enthusiastic to keep calling and following up with that side, and the news from there is also coming in a steady stream.
In this case, dozens of local cattle and hundreds of sheep froze to death, as well as some lost livestock, and local herdsmen were also harmed, and their houses were crushed. The local government has organized several rounds of rescues, and major news outlets have also made small rounds. On social networking sites, travelers have been heavily condemned for their mere messaging in the past. For a reason, the hotel at the foot of the mountain, where the snow disaster was relatively light, was a public office, and all the passengers who were near the hotel during the snow disaster were successfully rescued, except for the station wagon lying on the road, no one was killed.
The private holiday homes scattered in the mountains are too scattered with tourists, which makes it very difficult to rescue.
The holiday house where Qin Cheng and Rong Rong went was on this list, so although at the beginning, after the news of Rong Rong's death came out, there were voices of mourning on the Internet, but after the follow-up reports appeared one after another, different voices appeared, and there was no shortage of people who thought that Rong Rong died in vain.
"Really! How could they do that! A girl said angrily, while poking the phone to reply.
They gathered in the classroom, basically scrolling through the web page, and found a post or person who said that Rong Rong was not good, and followed them and pinched them hard.
After all, this kind of remarks are a minority, and most netizens still think that this is a natural disaster, and the victims are a pity.
Qin Qing had been silent in the classroom, she sat far away from everyone and listened silently.
It's like her whole being is empty, and she doesn't think about anything.
Since that day, she's been thinking.
According to her mother, she came home that afternoon and was tired and said she wanted to take a nap, but she slept into the evening. Mom didn't wake up and didn't call her when she saw that she hadn't woken up, "Anyway, there are biscuits and milk at home, and you will make your own food when you wake up hungry in the middle of the night." "Mom felt that she could take care of herself when she was so old, so she let her sleep in her own room.
But was she really wearing it on Rong Rong at that time?
Qin Qing thought no, because the things she dreamed of when she was about to wake up in the morning were very similar to the marquee when people died. It was Rong Rong's memory, a flashback, from her current college days until she was very young. The final scene is of her being led by her grandfather, and now that I recall that Rong Rong may have been only one or two years old at the time, because it was so close to the ground.
Therefore, it is very likely that Rong Rong took her to see this qiΔ. After Rong Rong's death, her soul took her back in time to experience her last twenty-four hours.
But that doesn't explain the calls home.
But Qin Qing still thinks that Rong Rong's soul did it, she thinks, maybe in Rong Rong's place, she is also a very important, unavoidable, and always concerned person.
Rong Rong's parents insisted on bringing her back from there and did not cremate her locally. The funeral was also not held locally, but decided to go back to his hometown.
Although the students wanted to send Rong Rong, they had no choice. This matter gradually lost its heat in the media.
Qin Qing quietly followed Rong Rong's father's Weibo.
"I took my daughter home today, she liked to go to her hometown to play when she was a child, probably because her hometown is bigger than the city, there are more dogs, cats, and small animals in the village, and there are many relatives. My wife and I used to work, and I didn't worry about leaving her alone in the country, so I only took her back before going to school, and never went back after the age of six. β
"Daddy, take you home."
"The child's mother was stimulated and her health was not very good, so she was not worried about letting her follow."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon after sending my daughter."
"Get in the car."
Rong Rong's home is in a newly built community, this piece of Qin Qing has never been here, she only knew how to get there by checking the webpage. The classmates had also discussed going to Rong Rong's house to have a look and send something. But after hearing that Rong Rong's mother was not in good health because of this incident, they all said that they should not disturb them, what if they went to take a look? Arouse people's sad things again.
Qin Qing will come because he thinks he is responsible.
She and Rong Rong had formed an indissoluble bond during that experience, and she had more reason than anyone else to come to Rong Rong's house.
Incredibly, her feelings for Qin Cheng were diluted. Probably the deepest fate in this world is life and death, and she now feels that she and Rong Rong are closer than her and Qin Cheng. Sometimes she felt like sisters who were not related by blood.
After getting out of the car, the road in front of me suddenly became familiar.
The street trees and flower beds on the side of the road were all experienced in that dream, and the beef patty shop around the corner even reminded Qin Qing of the urge to drool when she saw it, as if she had also looked at that store countless times when she passed by but didn't go in to buy it, in order to maintain her figure, for the calories on the mobile app.
She walked into the community calmly, familiar as if she had returned home. The doorman didn't look at her, as if assuming that she was a resident of the place.
She followed her body's memory, walked straight, went upstairs, and then froze in front of the door, raised her hand and hesitantly rang the doorbell. The familiarity that had always been shattered by the unfamiliar doorbell.
The bell rang for a while before someone came to open the door.
When she saw Rong Rong's mother open the door with a look of expectation and hope, Qin Qing was sincerely willing to do Rong Rong again at this moment, as long as she could see that it was Rong Rong standing here.
Rong Rong's mother looked very haggard, her hair was just tied back indiscriminately, the usual delicate hair curls collapsed as if they had lost moisture, her eye bags were very heavy, and the flesh on her cheeks was also pulled down, and it seemed to take a few minutes to remember to speak when she saw Qin Qing: "You are ......"
Qin Qing grabbed her arm and naturally led her into the house.
"Hello Auntie, I'm Rong Rong's classmate."
Rong Rong's mother had completely lost her due vigilance, and it seemed that she couldn't care about anything, so she followed Qin Qing into the house indifferently, and she didn't even remember to close the door.
Qin Qing closed the door and saw that the living room was even more messy. The floor was full of newspapers, cigarette butts, plastic bags, clothes and newspapers on the sofa, newspapers on the coffee table, ashtrays piled up into a mountain, several disposable paper cups, and piles of peanut shells and melon seed shells that were eaten.
Qin Qing followed and saw boxes of milk and juice in the corner of the room.
It seems that a neighbor or a friend or family member has visited. No wonder Rong Rong's mother is not in good spirits, she was "mourned" by someone like this, she was reminded over and over again to recall the death of her daughter, and she cried with people over and over again, how could she be good? !
A burst of fire surged in Qin Qing's chest, and he took several deep breaths before suppressing it.
Rong Rong's mother didn't seem to care about this qiΔ, she sat on the dirty sofa after following Qin Qing into the house, and she didn't care about the newspapers under her buttocks. She didn't look at Qin Qing, and she had no interest in this home that had completely lost its tidiness in the past.
Qin Qing put down his bag and began to pack up.
She cleaned up the living room and kitchen, took all the garbage out the door, packed up all the dirty laundry, and prepared to take it to the laundry outside the neighborhood in a moment.
When she was acting on her behalf, Rong Rong's mother seemed to have a little bit of vitality, and her eyes followed Qin Qing around. After Qin Qing finished cleaning up and sat down, Rong Rong's mother took her hand and stood up and led her to Rong Rong's room.
Rong Rong's room is the largest in the house, and it is very new and beautifully decorated.
"She hadn't actually stayed there a few times. Not long after we moved in, she went to live on campus. Rong Rong's mother walked to the head of the bed, stroked the head of the bed and said with a smile: "She doesn't like this bed, I picked it, she said it was too old-fashioned." She took a step back and looked at the bed and said, "Actually, looking at it now, this color is really not suitable for little girls." β
Qin Qing looked at the room and suddenly asked, "Auntie, Rong Rong should have a courier arrived, haven't you seen it?" β
Rong Rong's mother was stunned, and it took a while to react: "What courier." β
Qin Qing said affirmatively, "Rong Rong has a courier, it should have arrived a few days ago, but you didn't receive it?" β
Rong Rong's mother may not care about this family and herself, but when it comes to Rong Rong's matter, she is the most concerned, she immediately searched for this house with Qin Qing, but she didn't find it.
"It's too chaotic at home these days, and there are too many people coming, will anyone take it away?" Rong Rong's mother's expression was a little anxious, just like Rong Rong would be angry that she didn't receive this express.
"Not really." Qin Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Auntie, is there a place in the community where I can help collect express delivery?" β
Finally, the courier was found at the property office.
Rong Rong's mother held it firmly in her arms and took it home. Qin Qing helped to disassemble the express, and when she dismantled it, Rong Rong's mother retracted it as if she was burned to her hand, and it was Qin Qing who finished dismantling it.
It's two thermos cups.
Rong Rong's father has a bad kidney, Rong Rong's mother asked him to remember to make a cup of wolfberry water every day to drink, Rong Rong's mother likes to drink some red date water, and it is not good to soak in a stainless steel thermos cup, Rong Rong bought these two ceramic inner wall thermos cups, one for each of them.
Rong Rong's mother's lips kept shaking, and finally stood up violently and rushed into Rong Rong's room, threw herself on the bed and cried.
Qin Qing couldn't do anything.
There are two small greeting cards in the express box, one pink and one pink, with blessings written on them, probably because of the shopkeeper's care.
Qin Qing listened to the crying in the bedroom, silently took out the greeting card and put it on the thermos cup, she took out a pen and paper and wanted to write something to stay, but she couldn't write anything.
She could only sit outside, silently accompanying Rong Rong's mother inside.
Regarding the memories of this summer, Qin Qing only has one impression, that is, this summer is not hot at all.
But the Internet said that this summer is the summer with the most orange warnings for high temperatures, because of the invasion of typhoons, the temperature changes drastically, and the situation of heat stroke among people working outdoors has occurred repeatedly, and traffic police and migrant workers have become the most severely affected occupations.
But she didn't feel hot, not even in the sun. The sun was warm on her body, and after she said this, she was pulled by her mother to see a Chinese medicine doctor to see if she was weak.
The holiday ended soon, and after Qin Qing returned to school, she heard that Rong Rong's family had moved away. She went there a few times after that, always every two days, until Rong Rong's father came back. After that, she never went again.
Because she couldn't carry Rong Rong's life, and she was afraid that Rong Rong's parents would never be able to get out under repeated reminders from the surroundings, so after hearing the news of their move, she was relieved.
After all the students gathered, the class mourned Rong Rong again, this time because the students returned to school, and the school seemed to have given the green light, it is said that Rong Rong's parents did not trouble the school at all. In the end, the school gave 20,000 yuan of condolence money, which was said by the counselor herself, because she and the dean of teaching were sent to Rong Rong's house together.
For this and again and again mourning activities, many people just came to join in the fun, but it was not as sincere as the summer vacation, at least everyone was really sad at that time.
This time, Qin Qing heard someone say, "I heard that she ran out of the car by herself before she had an accident." β
"Huh? What did she do when she got out of the car? β
"Go find Qin Cheng. She also ran twice, the first time was in the station wagon, no one knew that she jumped off, and then the driver was shocked when he found that there were fewer people, don't you say this is harmful? The second time, she was found by the rescuers and got into the car, but because she didn't find Qin Cheng in the end, she sneaked down again, and no one came to save her this second time. β
"And what about this? Isn't this looking for death? β
"Alas...... I heard that she still had food for Qin Cheng in her arms. β
"Ah......h
Qin Cheng also returned, and he still had frostbite marks on his face, and it was said that his fingers and toes were injured, and his little finger had to be amputated.
He stood away from the crowd, and the people around him deliberately avoided him.
Sometimes, after a death together, the survivors become "bad guys". The more moved everyone was by Rong Rong's true feelings, the more unpleasant they were to the surviving Qin Cheng. And the last person he saved was another unknown woman in the same team, and Rong Rong, who risked his life to find him, froze to death in the snow. This makes his image even more unbearable.
But he didn't seem to care, in fact, he didn't seem to care about anything anymore.
Qin Qing felt that he was like Rong Rong's mother she saw in the living room at that time, she didn't care about anything around her, and she didn't care about her situation at all. So no matter what the people around him say about him, he doesn't care.
Qin Qing no longer cares about Qin Cheng, even if she thinks about Qin Cheng now, it is based on "he is the person left by Rong Rong, and he is the person Rong Rong cares about."
She has already realized that she has been deeply affected, and she is also trying to cut off Rong Rong's influence, but in her heart, she always wants to slow down-
"Let me spend a little more time with my friends"
This death changed a lot of people, and some people were passively connected. Qin Qing thought that he and Rong Rong were like this. If Rong Rong was still alive, maybe they would never be friends. But now that she is gone, Qin Qing begins to want to understand Rong Rong, and what interests her the most is what she thinks of her in Rong Rong's eyes? What prompted Rong Rong to leave her last time?
In the past, in Qin Qing's eyes, Rong Rong only had the label of "Qin Cheng's girlfriend", but now she wants to know Rong Rong even more. Her pride, her seriousness, her love. Everyone has many faces, and the Rong Rong she knew before was too one-sided. And now she's under her influence.
"Qin Qing, have you started to put on makeup?" The girl in the same dormitory looked at Qin Qing, "Your eyeliner is really good, what brand is this eyeshadow?" β
Qin Qing closed the eyeshadow, gently closed his eyes in the mirror and opened them again, looking left and right, it really looked like he was more energetic, and the contours of his eyes were heavier, and the temperament of the whole person was different. She is a new hand in this area, and she needs to practice a lot to become proficient.
After putting on her makeup, she tried on clothes one by one in front of the dressing mirror, matching bags and shoes, and by the time she finally got it ready, her friend was already impatient.
"Why do you have such a problem now? Isn't it just going for a meal? "It's still the school gate.
If you go out, how can you not take good care of yourself?
Qin Qing subconsciously wanted to refute it, and quickly swallowed the words back. This is Rong Rong's habit, in her opinion, it is incredible not to comb her hair and not change her clothes when she goes out! This usually means more than half an hour of preparation time.
Qin Qing really didn't have this habit before, as long as he didn't wear pajamas when he went out, his hairstyle remained the same for many years, he wore it when he cut it short, and tied it after he left it long, and it was gone.
She is not as good as Rong Rong's Cheng dΓΉ now, and she is as troublesome as Rong Rong (hair must be styled, makeup must be worn when going out, matching must be reasonable and styled, and change it from time to time), she can't do it. But it's nice to change it a little bit.
At least the mood will improve.
As soon as he walked to the school gate, Qin Qing saw a car parked outside the school gate, and the doorman was responsible for stopping people.
Qin Qing recognized it at a glance, it was Fang Yu.
How did he end up here? Are you here to find Qin Cheng?
Fang Yu sensed that someone was watching, looked up and saw Qin Qing, and immediately stopped and said, "Hello, classmate, what grade are you in?" β
"Second grade." Friend said.
"Then do you know Qin Cheng? I'm his brother, I'm here to have dinner with him, can you help me make a phone call and ask him to come out? After passing through the Snow Mountain, Fang Yu regarded Qin Cheng as his younger brother. What's more, among all of them, only Qin Cheng's girlfriend had an accident, and he felt that he couldn't escape the blame. After discovering that Qin Cheng's psychology was not quite right, he passed by here this time and came to see him.
Qin Qing took out the phone to call, and her friend poked her in a whisper, "Qin Qing, are you really calling?" Qin Cheng is like that...... It's like someone owes him eight million......"
What should a wounded person look like? At least it should give people the attitude of a weak person, right? As a result, Qin Cheng always looked cold and arrogant after returning to school, even if he wanted to care about him, he didn't give face at all, and he was always expressionless. After coming and going, everyone's perception of him is even worse.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Qin Qing's phone had already been dialed, "Qin Cheng, someone is looking for you at the school gate......" As soon as she raised her eyes, Fang Yu had already approached, looking at her quite strangely, "My name is Fang Yu." You tell him it's Fang Yu looking for him. β
Before Qin Qing could say anything, it hung up over there, and she had to look at Fang Yu helplessly.
Fang Yu looked at her seriously several times, and it wasn't until Qin Qing was dragged away by his friend that he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, classmate!" β
