Lu Mei looked at the pair of children in front of her gently, held Liu Shimeng and Liu Tianci's hands, and clasped their hands tightly together.

"Mom, what are you talking about, of course we will be fine, and I will let us live a good life!" Liu Tianci felt uncomfortable in his heart, and blurred his eyes uncontrollably.

When Liu Shimeng saw her mother's appearance, she was extremely distressed, and the deep uneasiness in her heart made her nervous, but she didn't know what kind of uneasiness it was.

"Well, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's be happy, the three of us will definitely get better and better in the new year!" Come on, Mom, a toast! Liu Shimeng smiled and picked up her drink.

"Sister, what I said is, I wish your mother and sister a happy and safe New Year!" Liu Tianci echoed.

In the dead of night, the lights in the alleys gradually went out and fell into darkness.

Lu Mei didn't sleep in the same bed as Liu Shimeng tonight, she just wanted to spend this long night quietly alone.

She looked at the light slightly melancholy, thinking back on the past few years, what else could she have besides sadness and regret?

It's not that she hasn't been happy, but it's too short for her.

She hated, resented, and now she has no power to hate, no power to resent, she only hopes that her two children are safe and happy.

Lu Mei thought for a long time, but still took out the phone and dialed a series of phone numbers.

"Hey, is that you?" On the other side was a man's voice.

"It's me!" Lu Mei said lightly.

"Ahh You okay? The man's voice paused.

"It's okay, I didn't have anything else to call you, it's for Mengmeng and God!" Lu Mei Dao.

"Are they okay? I... I'm so sorry for you! The man said.

"Time has passed, what's the use of saying I'm sorry? Mengmeng is in Qingping, not far from you, and God-given, he is about to graduate from college, in the future, maybe you will take care of it more, after all, it is also your son! Lu Mei choked.

"Lu Mei, what's wrong with you? How do you talk like that? The man was puzzled.

"It's okay, if you still remember a pair of children, take good care of them, I haven't troubled you over the years, and I haven't begged you, this is the last time, remember Mengmeng's phone number!" Lu Mei Dao.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Mei walked to Liu Shimeng's room, she was curled up in the quilt and already asleep, and the whole person looked so thin.

In the past few days, Liu Shimeng has obviously lost weight again, she touched her daughter's sleeping face distressedly, her heart was so painful, she took out the box that was discarded by Liu Shimeng, and secretly put it into her suitcase again, and covered it with clothes.

She came to Liu Tianci's room again, looked at the sleeping Liu Tianci, and the more she looked, the more reluctant she felt.

He is a good son who is handsome and sensible, but he is not a good mother, and I hope that in the future he can meet a woman who loves him and live a happy and beautiful life.

The first rays of light in the morning hit Liu Shimeng's pure face, she frowned slightly, opened her eyes, stretched out her slender hand to block the sun, she struggled for a moment, and the sweater she picked up was draped over her body.

She looked at the weather outside, the weather was exceptionally sunny, this was the first sunny day after she came back, she was in a good mood, she had to get up to make breakfast for her family, and she had to take her mother to check her body, today was another busy day.

She walked out of the room and glanced at her mother's door, which was closed at this time, perhaps not awake yet.

She was busy preparing breakfast, and Liu Tianci got up when she heard the voice.

"Sister, you got up so early!" Liu Tianci rubbed his eyes and said.

"I'm going to take my mother to check my body today, of course I got up early, you see how sunny the weather is outside?" Liu Shimeng smiled, in a good mood.

"Well, it's been gloomy for a few days, and it's not so cold when it's sunny, otherwise I'll freeze to death one day!" Liu Tianci leaned against the door.

"Sister, how is Qingping?" Liu Tianci asked.

"Qingping, it's very good, a big city, prosperous and noisy, with four distinct seasons!" Liu Shimeng said.

"Qingping is cold, isn't it? I heard from my classmates that people freeze to death outside in winter, and when they come home to get hot, they have to eat popsicles! Is it true? Liu Tianci said.

"Yes, it's very cold in the north in winter, but it's dry and cold, unlike us, it's really cold, and my heart is shivering with cold!"

"There are heating facilities in the north, and when you get home, you will feel hot when you take off your cotton clothes and eat popsicles, unlike us who feel cold when we wear such a thick one!"

Liu Shimeng suddenly missed Qingping very much, thought of amusement, and then remembered Zeng Lihua, who walked side by side with him.

I originally wanted to agree to listen to his play, but I didn't expect that I was in my hometown now, and I don't know if he would be disappointed if he didn't wait for him.

"Sister, I will graduate in half a year, can I go to Qingdao after graduation?" Liu Tianci said.

Liu Shimeng glanced at him and said, "You go, what should my mother do, let's work here, you and I are not by my mother's side, it's not okay!" ”

Liu Tianci felt a sense of loss in his heart after hearing this, yes, he also left home, what should his mother do?

"Okay, don't be in a daze, quickly bring the meal to the table and go and call Mom to eat! After eating, I will accompany my mother to check my body, and you go to find Shen Cheng! Liu Shimeng fried the last dish.

"I know, my mother gets up earlier than us every day, why hasn't she gotten up today?" After Liu Tianci finished speaking, he knocked on Lu Mei's door, but there was no movement.

"Mom, it's time to eat!" Liu Tianci shouted, and pushed open Lu Mei's door with all his might.

Lu Mei lay flat on the bed with her eyes closed.

Liu Shimeng filled the rice and put the chopsticks away, and suddenly, there was a scream in Lu Mei's room, which frightened Liu Shimeng to throw away the chopsticks in his hand, and when he turned around, all the dishes and chopsticks on the table fell to the ground and shattered.

Liu Shimeng hurried to Lu Mei's room, and Liu Tianci sat on the bed, shaking his mother.

Liu Shimeng suddenly felt a blockage in her chest and almost fainted, she staggered to Lu Mei's bed.

Liu Shimeng finally knew why she was so flustered yesterday, and it turned out that the reason for her panic was her mother.

Lu Mei died last night, she died peacefully, with a gentle smile on her face, and her departure took all her breath away.

Today's day is clear, but it's still cold...

Liu Shimeng and Liu Tianci looked at Lu Mei's corpse, crying bitterly, grief-stricken, and didn't know what to do, there was no one around them who could tell them what to do?

Fortunately, a kind neighbor helped take care of Lu Mei's afterlife, and Shen Cheng never had any news, which made the sisters and brothers even more chilled.

On the day of Lu Mei's burial, the weather was still sunny, Liu Shimeng was dressed in black, supported by the neighbor's aunt, she was exhausted, and she didn't sleep for several days and nights, at this time she was like a crumbling reed, and she would fall down when the wind blew.

As the only man in the family, Liu Tianci has always been patient and persistent, and arranged Lu Mei's funeral with the help of his neighbors.

She knew that Lu Mei had a very hard life, and left her children before they could be filial to her.

What made Liu Shimeng's siblings unacceptable was the reason for Lu Mei's death.

Lu Mei is terminally ill, but none of them know about such a serious illness, she spent all her money on Liu Tianci and her family, and endured the pain herself.

Liu Shimeng couldn't imagine the pain of Lu Mei's illness at the onset, and she couldn't accept that she didn't know anything about this matter, if she was more careful, maybe Lu Mei wouldn't have left them like this.

But Liu Shimeng also knows that Lu Mei feels sorry for herself and Liu Tianci, if her condition is exposed, I believe that neither Liu Shimeng nor Liu Tianci will be able to give up on her, and will even go all out to save Lu Mei.

You must know that the cost of a terminal illness is expensive, even if the family is bankrupt, she can't save her life, not to mention the situation of her family at this time, so Lu Mei would rather die than drag her children down.

Lu Mei's death, Liu Shimeng's world collapsed again, she felt guilty and blamed herself, she never thought that her young life would bear the loss of two relatives, the death of Youle made her miserable, this time her dearest mother also left her, and from then on she had no relatives to rely on except Liu Tianci.

Liu Shimeng was overly sad and fell ill, she lay groggily in bed, dreaming of amusement for a while, dreaming of Lu Mei for a while, cold for a while, hot for a while, as if tormenting in hell, Liu Tianci guarded his sister's side every step of the way, he was also haggard at this time, but he had to be strong.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Shimeng finally woke up, she was full of cold, and looked weakly at Liu Tianci who was sleeping beside her.

She stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked her brother's tired cheeks, his cheeks on both sides collapsed, he lost a lot of weight, Liu Shimeng was very distressed, what did she and Liu Tianci do wrong, they had to suffer so much, when would they be able to end such a depressing life?

Liu Tianci lost his mother at a young age, and of course he had no father's love, what should such a poor child do in the future? Thinking of this, Liu Shimeng shed tears again.

"Sister, you're awake!" Liu Tianci felt the temperature of Liu Shimeng's palm, opened his eyes, and his distracted eyes immediately bloomed.

Liu Shimeng wiped away her tears, reluctantly smiled, and nodded slightly.

"Sister, don't cry, it should be me who wants to cry, you're going to scare me to death, do you know or not, you've been in a coma for a day, you wait, I'll bring you the food!" Liu Tianci said that he was leaving.

"No, I'm not hungry, you sit down and stay with me!" Liu Shimeng grabbed his brother's hand and said.

Liu Tianci could only sit down again.

"Okay, I'll accompany you!"

"God, Mom is gone, now there are only our brothers and sisters left, we will depend on each other in the future, and after the first seven, I will return to Qingping, what should you do?" Liu Shimeng frowned.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, my mother is so sick, I don't know anything by her side, I'm so unfilial!" Liu Tianci said and covered his face with his hands. The expression was very painful.

How can he not feel bad, not sad, not blame himself?
