Brother Zhao's family only came to four, Sister Qi and her son, Brother Zhao's sister and brother-in-law, Brother Zhao also has an old mother, who is over eighty years old, and no one dares to tell her. When they didn't arrive at the hospital, the four of them were very restrained, even Sister Qi's nineteen-year-old son was just silently crying, in the hospital morgue, Brother Zhao's body was dragged out of the freezer and placed in front of him, everyone including me and Jianjun couldn't control it, the same face, but it was completely different, all the organs were no longer functioning, like a factory that had stopped production, which was embarrassing.

Sister Qi and they brought things that they could use, and after crying, they dressed Brother Zhao in the open space of the morgue, and I went outside to avoid it, and Jianjun stayed to help. Originally, Jianjun and I thought that with Brother Zhao's influence in the local area, there would be a lot of people coming, eating and lodging, and there would be a lot of expenses, so we prepared 20,000 yuan, but we didn't expect that all the people who came were Brother Zhao's family, not a single friend.

Jianjun handed Brother Zhao's relics to Sister Qi, and Sister Qi cried as soon as she opened Brother Zhao's handbag, and took out a bottle of fast-acting heart-saving pills from the bag.

"When he gets sick, if someone gives him a medicine, it won't be like this, there is no one around!"

"Xiao Su, why did you let him drink? He really can't drink! ”……

Jianjun pursed his lips tightly and lowered his head without saying a word.

In the evening, after settling Sister Qi and them, Jianjun and I took a taxi home, along the way, Jianjun's face was ugly, I think it might be Sister Qi complaining about him, he felt uncomfortable.

When I got home, Xiaoyu came up and asked how we were, Jianjun calmed his face as if he hadn't heard, and I told Xiaoyu that we would be cremated tomorrow.

"I'm going too." Xiaoyu said.

"No way!" Jianjun, who didn't speak all the way, suddenly said.

Xiaoyu looked at Jianjun innocently: "What's wrong with me going?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Jianjun glared at Xiaoyu.

The two of them just looked at each other, and after a while, Xiaoyu's eyes turned red and she turned her head.

When I went to bed at night, I whispered to Jianjun, "Why don't you let Xiaoyu go?" That's too much to say. ”

"What is she going to do? Everyone is a family. ”

"Aren't she and Brother Zhao related? It's also a family member. ”

"Fart relative."

Jianjun said angrily, I vaguely felt that Jianjun seemed to have something to hide from me, I remembered the call from a woman in the middle of the night, I was just about to open my mouth to ask, Jianjun suddenly said: "When Brother Zhao's matter is dealt with, let her go." ”

I was taken aback and asked, "Why?" ”

"Brother Zhao asked her to come at the beginning, just to manage the accounts here, and the production of nursing beds, now Brother Zhao is gone, the company is our own, you can manage the accounts yourself, and you don't have to avoid suspicion, Brother Zhao is dead, and his nursing bed is not authorized, so we can't do it, so what's the use of her here? Can we still raise idlers? ”

"But ...... "Jianjun makes sense, I just think we've been together for a long time, and the little girl is also very likable, a little unspeakable." How do you tell her? ”

"Let's talk about it when I'm done with Brother Zhao, I can't take care of it for a while."

"Oh."

Jianjun turned around, and after a while, he fell asleep, I opened my eyes, thinking about dismissing Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu didn't know it, and I felt a little sad in my heart.

Brother Zhao was cremated the next day, and we waited for the ashes to come out in the waiting room of the funeral home, plus me and Jianjun, a total of six people, Brother Zhao, who didn't expect the scenery, to leave so coldly......

Sister Qi and they took Brother Zhao's ashes on the train back to Zhengzhou and sent them away, I and Jianjun returned to the store, and found that Xiaoyu had already come to the store, the ground was swept, the table was wiped over, and the thermos was also filled with boiling water.

Jianjun seemed to be full of thoughts, sitting at his desk and smoking, I went to look at him, he turned his head to dodge, I saw that his eyes were red.

"What's wrong?" I asked him in a whisper.

Jianjun waved his hand embarrassedly, and wiped his eyes by the way, "I was still sitting here smoking the day before yesterday, this person is really ...... to say."

When I started, I didn't sigh at the impermanence of life, but now I think more about the life of Sister Qi and her mother, and the back of Brother Zhao's son holding the ashes and leaving flashed back in his mind over and over again, which makes people feel sour.

"I want to go to Zhengzhou." Jianjun said after smoking a cigarette.

"Oh. Something? ”

"Brother Zhao's memorial service is going to attend, in addition," Jianjun paused, "I want to go and see how the factory over there is, Brother Zhao is gone, Sister Qi is a woman, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it, if I can't do it, I will sell all the machines, how many are and how much, and pay back the money first." ”

"How much?" I asked Jianjun.

"How much money did you get back from the account of Brother Zhao's nursing bed?" Jianjun answered the question.

"More than sixteen thousand."

"Anything else that hasn't come back?"

"Yes, not much, more than 3,000 yuan." I thought for a moment and lowered my voice: "This time, Brother Zhao and Xiaoyu went out and borrowed 10,000 yuan." ”

"Ugh." The commander of the army sighed. "Go and call her in!"

Xiaoyu was outside, when I called her in, I didn't feel good, I guessed that Jianjun might have to talk to her, looking at Xiaoyu's frightened face, I guessed it.

Xiaoyu entered the door and stood restrained, waiting for Jianjun to speak.

"Xiaoyu, I'm going to Zhengzhou tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to attend Brother Zhao's memorial service, you've been out for a long time, and it's almost the New Year, so don't you follow me."

"I don't want to go back for the Chinese New Year this year." Xiaoyu lowered her head and said.

"It's okay not to go home for the New Year!"

"I'm not going back." Xiaoyu said persistently: "Brother Su, sister-in-law, are you going to bombard me away?" ”

I felt sorry for her, "No, Xiaoyu......" but I really didn't know what to say.

"Xiaoyu, Brother Zhao is gone, we can't continue to work on the nursing bed, and we have borrowed some money, a lot, and we have to pay it ......back," Jianjun said patiently to Xiaoyu. I don't know if the company can continue to do it, so I ......"

Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Jianjun: "Brother Su, you let me stay, I don't want money." ”

"No, we don't have a nursing bed, I'm running business, your sister Zheng is the doorkeeper, there's nothing for you to do, you might as well go back as soon as possible to find a good job, close to home."

"I don't want to be close to home, Brother Su, I also run business, I don't want salary, I run out of business, you can give me a job."

"How can you run business!"

"I will, I'll go out this time, watch them talk, watch and watch."

"How many devices do you know in the hospital? Don't mess around, go home, find a job and do it well, if I can survive this, you have to be willing to come back, and you will come back when the time comes. ”

"Brother Su, I'm not leaving! Sister-in-law ......"

Xiaoyu looked at me helplessly, and my heart softened: "Jianjun, don't let Xiaoyu stay, I can help you when you're busy!"

"How can I help?" The army did not let go.

"Brother Su, isn't there still half a month between now and the New Year? If I come to business, you let me stay, if I can't run, I'll leave, do you think that's okay? I promise not to eat idle meals. ”

"Go home, you don't know what's what, how do you run?"

"Brother Su, just let me try it, just try it for half a month, please."

"Nope." Jianjun didn't let go, I couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but help Xiaoyu speak: "Jianjun, just let her try, it's not too late to let her go, isn't it half a month?" ”

Jianjun glanced at me and said nothing.

"Brother Su......" Xiaoyu's tears swirled in her eyes.

Jianjun sank for a while and said, "It's only half a month, and if it doesn't work, I'll leave." ”

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law Su." Xiaoyu grinned, but tears flowed out.
