Chapter 6: The Death of My Sister
In the blink of an eye, spring has passed. In early summer, the camphor tree at the west end of the ward is full of small white flowers, and the fragrance hits people, and the whole yard is filled with the smell of flowers.
Sister Mingyue came to the health center, Xia Wei was at work, and hurriedly asked, "Mingyue, why are you here?" Don't go to work today? ”
"I'm on the night shift today, and I'll come to see you if I'm okay during the day."
Xia Wei took the package in Mingyue's hand and said, "How can this bag be so heavy?" ”
"Oh, I bought buns for you in the unit cafeteria."
Xia Wei led Mingyue to the dormitory of the unit, put down the package and said, "You take a rest in the dormitory, and I'll play with you when I come back from work." ”
"Okay, you can get busy."
After Xia Wei and Xiao Lu got married, the unit gave this half a cabin, which could only put a single bed and a table, Mingyue lay on the bed by herself before Xia Wei left and said, "I can sleep for a while." ”
When she got home from work, Xiao Lu went to the cafeteria to eat, and Xia Wei called Mingyue to go to the river to wash clothes together. Mingyue was a little preoccupied, looking at the river and being stunned, Xia Wei knew that Mingyue must have something unhappy, so she asked, "Mingyue, what's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”
"Nope." Mingyue hurriedly pretended to be fine.
Xia Wei didn't feel at ease, Mingyue was going to leave in the afternoon, Xia Wei sent her to the station, at the moment when the car started, Xia Wei looked at the slowly starting car, Mingyue poked her head out of the window, she smiled with a worried face, that smile made Xia Wei unforgettable, what kind of eyes was that! I still regret it. If you talk to your sister well, if you find out what your sister is thinking as soon as possible...... But there is no if, not to mention that he was not in a good state at that time, and he was also in a cold war with Xiao Lu.
In the afternoon of the next day, heavy rain was pouring and the wind was raging. At this time, Xia Wei suddenly received a call from her father from the county seat: "Wei'er, come quickly, Mingyue is missing." ”
"What? To put it bluntly, I didn't understand. ”
"Mingyue had an accident, the leader of their unit asked me to persuade her to go home and rest, after I came, she asked me to go to the station to buy a ticket, and when I bought a ticket and came back, she disappeared."
"Huh? You lead someone to look around first, and I'll come in a moment. Xia Wei answered the phone and hurriedly asked the unit leader for leave and came to the station to wait for the train. The wind was still raging, the torrential rain kept falling, and the big trees on the side of the road were also blown down by the strong wind, and the big trees were lying on the road, and there was no shadow of a car, Xia Wei was anxious. After waiting at the station for two hours and no car passed, she saw that it was getting dark, so she reluctantly returned to the unit, her clothes were already soaked, and she went straight to the office to wait for her father to call. Colleagues were afraid that she would catch a cold, so they advised her to go home first and change into wet clothes, and then come and wait after eating. Xia Wei went home at this time, and after a while, her father called her and told her that Mingyue had not been found yet, and the rain outside was too heavy, and the people in the factory were looking for it but didn't know where to look, and the people on both ends of the phone were crying. Xia Wei said with a crying voice: "I didn't wait for the car when I went to the station, the wind and rain were too strong, and there was no car on the road, you must find a way to find it again." ”
The wind, the rain, the thunder, the rain, it rained all the time. There is no traffic on the road, and Xia Wei can't go to the county seat, and her father is alone in Mingyue's unit. Mingyue's colleagues all came to visit her father and comforted him not to worry. It was pitch black outside, and the rain was raining so hard that people couldn't go out to look for it. At the request of her father, they pried open Satsuki's box, and in the box, in the center of her clothes, there was a diary and a watch. Dad couldn't wait to open the diary, and he opened it to the last entry, which read: "Dear Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom: Hello! When you read this diary, I am no longer in this world, thank you for your nurturing grace, and please forgive me for my unfilial piety, and go before you. I'll leave this watch for my mother, and the clothes in the box for my sister to wear. If you ask me why I want to leave you, that is, I love Xiao Ming, we have no chance to be together in this life, let me bless him, you don't embarrass him, his parents are also for his good, after all, I am a rural hukou, and there is nothing wrong with his parents asking him to find a city resident hukou. Just let him find a good person to live a good life, I'm sorry for you! After reading Mingyue's diary, my father burst into tears and couldn't cry.
The next day, the wind and rain stopped, and Xia Wei, her family and the people in the factory searched everywhere but disappeared. Someone remembered that the county radio station sent a notice to find people, three days later, a villager sent a pair of shoes picked up by the pond, everyone was dumbfounded, this orange little high heel is not Mingyue's favorite to wear? Everyone was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, someone said, "It's these shoes, take us to see them." ”
The people in the factory took the salvage tools and followed the people who delivered the shoes to the pond, and after a while, Mingyue's body was salvaged, and all hopes about Mingyue's life were dashed, and everyone had to accept this fact.
The roommates talked about it, and they all recalled Mingyue and Xiaopeng's love experience.
Xiao Peng is Mingyue's middle school classmate, and Mingyue both work in the county, Xiao Peng is his father retired to the unit, is an urban resident, Mingyue is a contract worker in the factory, is a rural hukou. Although Xiaoyue's salary is much higher than Xiaopeng's, and she is also beautiful, there is a big difference between the urban household registration and the rural household registration, but the two of them fall in love with each other.
That day, Mingyue and Xiaopeng came to the field on the outskirts of the county, they sat on the thick lawn, Mingyue snuggled in Xiaopeng's arms, fiddled with Xiaopeng's fingers, with a happy smile on his face, and said softly in his ear: "Let's get married!" ”
"Of course I want to, but now my parents don't allow us to socialize, let alone get married."
"What then?" Mingyue looked a little irritable.
"I'll find a way to talk to them." Xiao Peng looked into the distance.
"If you don't say it now, you have to say it later, right?" Mingyue couldn't sit still.
"Didn't I say it, I'm trying to figure it out." Xiao Peng slowly moved his gaze from a distance to the bright moon.
"What can you do? What if I still don't agree? I'm pregnant, and after a while my belly will get bigger, and my parents will say that I have embarrassed them, and how will other people come to see me? Come and see my parents? Mingyue looked at him reproachfully.
"I know, don't bother me!" Xiaopeng pushed away the bright moon.
Mingyue pulled back and wiped her tears, Xiaopeng saw this, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't talk like this, let me go home and negotiate with my parents." Xiaopeng took out a handkerchief to wipe Mingyue's tears, and took Mingyue into his arms.
The moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling the light of the white moonlight on the earth, and the fields were covered in silver. Mai Miao'er swayed in the wind, and the cries of frogs and insects were heard from time to time not far away, and the two people who loved each other snuggled together for a long time......
Mingyue kept writing notes every day, looking forward to the arrival of good news. However, a month passed unconsciously, Xiaopeng had no news at all, and Mingyue began to wipe her tears non-stop when she wrote notes. The roommates reported the news to the leader, who told the roommates to keep an eye on Mingyue's whereabouts, and at the same time notified Mingyue's parents to take her home to rest. Mom didn't realize the importance of the matter, and no one was able to substitute her for her, so she could only ask Dad to pick up Mingyue and go home. The father was a careless man, and he didn't realize that the situation would become so serious, and he actually lost his daughter's life because of his carelessness...... Dad was in pain.
On the day of Mingyue's funeral, Xiaopeng knelt in front of Xia Wei's parents and begged for forgiveness. His parents didn't blame him, but comforted him: "Things are already like this, you have to open a little, Mingyue is gone, you have to live well, this is Mingyue's expectation of you." Xiaopeng looked at his parents guiltily and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will." ”
In the midst of sadness, Xiaopeng's father came to Mingyue's mourning hall, and secretly took out a suicide note left by Xiaopeng and handed it to Mingyue's parents, who handed it to the other party after reading the suicide note and said, "Don't worry, we will persuade Xiaopeng well, he will be fine." ”
"Thank you then!" sent away Xiaopeng's father, and the whole family came to comfort Xiaopeng regardless of their grief.
On the Qingming Festival, in front of Mingyue's grave, Xia Wei and her family met Xiaopeng unexpectedly, and her parents took Xiaopeng's hand and said: "Peng'er, thank you for remembering Mingyue, but you have to live well, form a small family, forget Mingyue, live a good life, and don't live up to Mingyue's expectations." ”
"Well, take care!" Xiao Peng looked at the two old men affectionately.
"Okay." Parents also looked at the little friend in front of them with tears in their eyes.
Xia Wei stood in front of her sister's cemetery, watching the roses on the grave bloom brightly, emitting a faint fragrance, and the pines and cypresses on the mountain whirring in the breeze, she sighed infinitely in her heart: O wind, what do you want to tell people?
