Chapter VII

The next day, we also learned that Rie's grandmother woke up last night and was not awake, she was not awake at all, Rie didn't want to go to school, she was afraid that her grandmother would die and would not be able to see her for the last time, so Ming accompanied her to the hospital, and after some communication, Ming's mother agreed that Rie was in the hospital and let Ming go to school. Ming arrived at the school for almost the first class, Li Ming didn't go in, and kept wandering around the neighborhood until the end of the first class before going to the classroom.

When he arrived in the classroom, he sat silently in his position, and he didn't speak, Zhou Mingfu saw that he wanted to talk but was afraid of disturbing him, so he asked, "Are you okay?" Li Ming kept his head down, took out his textbook and said, "I've grown so big, it's the first time I've had relatives leave."

Zhou Mingfu said, "Reason why did her grandmother pass away, so why did you still come to school."

Li Ming thought about it wrong, and said, "No, it's the first time I feel that there are relatives around me who are leaving, and I'm not in the mood to study."

Zhou Mingfu said, "Follow me to a place", he took my hand and kept running outside, and some classmates saw and reminded us that class was about to start, you go there. He took me to a very secluded place to study, and I said, "What are you bringing me here for, it's going to be class soon." Zhou Mingfu said, "I don't think you have the heart to go to class, and besides, it's okay if you don't go to class for a day."

Li Ming looked at him and said "thank you". Zhou Mingfu said, "You are polite to me, you can rest assured that few people in the school come here."

Li Ming said, "I have never been to this place, how do you know this place".

Zhou Mingfu said, "I just came here and knew about it, and I won't want others to disturb me, so I'll come here", Li Ming remembered that Mingfu would ask for leave soon after he came to school, thinking that he went outside the school, and didn't expect to come here, but he didn't ask. Because he came to school early every day, Zhou Mingfu rode a bicycle again, so he usually wore a coat, and he put his coat on the ground and motioned for them to sit down together. After sitting down, they didn't speak, both of them were thinking about their own problems, sometimes you look at me, I look at you, Zhou Mingfu said, "Actually, I have one thing that I haven't told you."

Li Ming looked at him and said, "What's the matter", as if Zhou Mingfu was about to cry, and said, "My mother died when I was five years old, she died very suddenly, I didn't really understand it when I was young, and the adults lied to me that my mother went to a far away place."

Ming said, "Is it to take care of grandma's affairs, it reminds you of your mother", Zhou Mingfu didn't speak, kept looking ahead, and waited for a while before saying, "Yes, it's just that it was relatively small at that time, so there are no memory points, my mother seems to be the only relative left by my side, and the others are still there, living well."

Li Ming didn't know how to comfort Zhou Mingfu, but he knew that Mingfu was crying, even if he didn't cry, his eyes were already moist, Li Ming said, "Actually, I have an uncle, but I have never seen it, he died a few years before I was born, I heard that he was about to get married at that time, because of an accident died, I didn't know that my parents and grandmothers didn't tell me before, but I lived with my grandmother since I was a child, I have seen a few times my grandmother secretly looked at the photo and cried, and then I asked Lili's grandmother to tell me, My family doesn't know about it until now, and I already know that there was an uncle who hasn't told me about it until now."

Li Ming said very calmly, his eyes were also full of tears, Zhou Mingfu looked at him and said, "I don't remember a lot of things about my mother when I was a child, but there is one thing I remember, at that time I was always clamoring to find my mother, my grandfather said to me, 'Your mother has gone far away, one day your grandparents will also go', I said, 'I will go too', my grandfather said, 'One day you will also go, where will your mother and grandparents wait for you, but you have to grow up obediently, When I grow up, I can go', and I rarely make trouble after that, and I have been waiting to grow up, but now I know that I can't go to that kind of place casually."

Li Ming said, "Are you comforting people? I thought you were going to comfort me with your grandfather's words to comfort a three-year-old child, and I'd see my uncle later." Zhou Mingfu said, "What three years old, I was five years old at that time, okay?"

I said, "Is there a difference?", and the two of them suddenly laughed from the very affectionate narrative just now, and began to fight, looking around while playing, for fear that a teacher would see it, and slowly retreated, I said, "Obviously, Lili's grandmother is about to die, but the two of us are here to comfort each other, think about it."

Zhou Mingfu said, "Then let's skip class and go to the hospital to comfort Lili."

I said, "I think you don't want to go to class, my mother is inconvenient", and then Zhou Mingfu whispered in Li Ming's ear, and they were ready to go out as soon as class ended, when they suddenly ran into their homeroom teacher and said, "Why are you going."

"We wanted to go to the hospital to see Shawsley because yesterday the doctor said that her grandmother might be dying," Li said.

Zhou Mingfu said, "Yes, Xiao Sili's parents have not come back yet, we are afraid that her grandmother will pass away, and she will not be able to stand the blow and will not be able to think about it."

The head teacher saw that the two of us didn't seem to be thinking about studying, so he said, "No matter what, you can't run out of school like this, you must ask the teacher for leave if there is anything, and the teacher will come over to see you at noon first, and you will go back to the classroom at noon, and we will give you half a day off in the afternoon", the teacher said so, and we had to go back to class obediently.

Although I went back to the classroom to attend classes, but my mind was not used in it, we didn't eat at noon, and the acting class leader said that the teacher agreed that we would not come back to class in the afternoon, if the teacher looked for it, he said that we had left, out of the school and went to the hospital, we ate a little casually near the hospital, and when we arrived at the hospital, we learned that Lili's grandmother had just died, and Lili was gone, and they were looking for her.

Not long after I went to school in the morning, the doctor came a few times, saying that the old man had only one breath left, and had been waiting for her daughter, and Li Ming's parents and Li Li would always be talking to her, and one reminded her that Li Li's parents were already on the way, and Li Li's grandmother's condition was sober and confused for a while, and her mouth kept asking Jingjing, Jingjing.

Not long before we came to the hospital, Lili's mother had just arrived, and she came directly to the ward with a bag and said, "Sister, how is my mother", and then called her mother softly next to her, Li Ming's mother was explaining her grandmother's situation, and she was still going to talk from beginning to end, Li Ming's father said, "Tell the point, say what the doctor said in the morning."

Li Li's mother saw that her mother hadn't woken up yet, so she greeted Li Li and Li Ming's father, Li Li didn't give her a good face, so she said, "I'm willing to come back, are you coming back alone, what about your husband."

Lee's mother didn't care what Rie said, so she wanted to explain, "Your dad has a very important meeting this morning, and he will be back as soon as it's over."

Li Li blew up and said, "Until now, he is still busy with his work, doesn't the surname Xiao know that his mother-in-law is dying?" He doesn't even want to see his grandmother for the last time", hearing Li Li speak so loudly, Li Ming's parents also helped persuade Li Li.

Rie's mother said, "No, we didn't know that the situation was so serious, my ticket was bought in advance, and I was going to come back last night", Rie's mother did buy it in advance, but she didn't buy Rie's father's ticket at first, and when I answered the phone, Rie's father was still working outside to inspect the situation.

Li Li said, "Grandma is not in good health these days, I called and told you a few times, until grandma came to the hospital for rescue, and you still have a person who is busy working outside, busy promoting his officer, why do you come back, come back to see if our grandchildren are dead?" Rie's mother said, "How can you say that about your mother, she is my mother".

Li Ming's parents were next to remind Li Li that she had spoken too much, and asked her not to say it, when their mother and daughter quarreled, her grandmother woke up and kept calling "Jingjing, Jingjing, Lili, Lili", the two of them quickly came to the old man's house, as if they suddenly woke up, I heard that people will return to the light when they die, this time they are particularly sober, grandma seems to have nothing to explain, that is, she grabbed the hands of the two mothers and daughters tightly and said, "It's good for you to come back, don't be angry with your mother, listen to your mother's words, Grandma is gone, you two have to get along well, don't quarrel", the two eyes stared at their mother and daughter tightly, they also nodded and said, "Don't be sad, grandma just went to find your grandfather, you have to be well". The two of them were crying while answering at this time, grandma may not be about to end, she kept calling her deceased husband's name, kept saying that you came to pick me up, slowly closed her eyes, and walked very peacefully. Several people in the room were crying very sadly, and the doctor also brought the nurse to confirm the time of death, and slowly pushed it to the morgue.
