Chapter 63: My Father Dies
Two months later, Shen Yin received bad news from her father, and when she arrived at the county seat, all she saw was her father's cold body. She lay in front of the bed and wept, and her aunt stood beside her, holding a letter in her hand.
"Auntie, did you already know that my father had cancer? Am I the only one who doesn't know? Her voice was hoarse, and her tears were like a flood that had burst its banks.
The aunt grabbed her arm and looked at her with concern, "Shen Yin, you have to be strong, your father doesn't want to see you like this." ”
She lay on her aunt's shoulder, tears wet the clothes on her aunt's shoulder, and her aunt comforted her: "Shen Yin, in fact, we are doing this for your own good, I hope you can understand your father's hard work." We have already informed Yuehuan that she is also on her way back, and it is estimated that Xiaoliang has gone to the station to pick her up now. ”
Shen Yin took one last look at his father, wanting to firmly engrave his father's face at this moment in his heart. My aunt helped her out of the ward and held her hand tightly, "Shen Yin, this letter was given to you by your father before he died, although he was so busy, he still didn't worry about you from beginning to end. We will help with his funeral, so don't be too sad, after all, this is also a relief for him. ”
She nodded slightly, tears flowed uncontrollably, and at this moment, the face of her mother when she died also appeared in her mind. She sat on a stool in the hospital hallway and slowly opened the letter as if it were the last conversation with her father.
Shen Yin, the most sorry thing in my life is you, even though I have been here for six years, I live in deep self-blame and guilt every day. During a physical examination two years ago, I was unexpectedly found out that I had lung cancer, and it was at an advanced stage. At that moment, I didn't feel the slightest sadness, but felt that it was a gift from God. I have been cowardly and incompetent in my life, I did not let you live a happy life, let you enter the society early, and took on those responsibilities that did not belong to you, so that Yuehuan lost her beautiful and innocent middle and high school life......
Now that I don't have much time left, I'll cut it short. There's a bank opening here, and the password is your birthday, and that's the only thing I can leave for you. I am really happy to hear Yuehuan call me "Dad" again, and I am very happy to see her grow up healthy, all of this must be your efforts and companionship, so that she lives a very happy life. The eldest sister brought your wedding photos, and I saw your bright smile, and my heart was very relieved and happy. Xiaoliang is a responsible child and is sincere to you, but I hope you can let go of a little strength and rely on him more. In the future, you will also take care of Yuehuan's affairs for me, and let her find a man in charge.
Well, before I put pen to paper, I was also the most worried about my mother's body, although I had met before, but her condition was not optimistic. At her age, she can't stand the blow, so she still hides this matter from her, and don't tell her about it. By the way, last night I dreamed of Xiaolian, who kept smiling at me, standing under the grape trellis in the yard, but her eyes were always staring at the living room. I think she must be lonely and wants me to accompany her, but she doesn't worry about her relatives at home. It's been a long time since I've written so many words, and my fingers are cramping. Alas...... People are getting old! Shen Yin, I have also written down your instructions, this home will be taken care of by you in the future, and we will bless you to live a happy life.
Half an hour later, Wang Mengliang took Shen Yuehuan to the hospital, Shen Yuehuan entered the morgue to see her father for the last time, she sat beside Shen Yin, her eyes slightly red.
"Sister, I'm sorry!" Shen Yuehuan held her hand, and two lines of tears flowed down, dispelling the painted eyeliner at the corner of her eyes, "This is also what Dad meant, if you let you know, you will definitely apply for medical parole, which is also what Dad reluctantly sees." ”
Shen Yin wiped away her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister doesn't blame you, I know that this is also for me, but in the future, there will only be three of us left in our family, and I feel very uncomfortable when I think of this." ”
Shen Yuewan sat on a chair with her, watching her uncle arrange for someone to carry her father's body into a car.
My uncle had already arranged my father's funeral and contacted a funeral home. Wang Mengliang drove them back to the town, and she wanted to go home to worship her mother, and by the way, she would clean up the house so that her father's funeral could be held here.
After an hour, Yang Ming drove over, and his uncle got out of the car with a suitcase, and his aunt walked behind him, "Shen Yin, your uncle and I plan to come here for a few days for a while and discuss with you about the future of my brother-in-law." ”
Shen Yin hurriedly pulled her aunt into the living room and poured tea for them. She had long since lost contact with her neighbors, and she had even forgotten their names. However, holding weddings and funerals in the countryside will inevitably mobilize the people, and invite nearby neighbors to help and create an atmosphere. Since her father went to the county seat, her family has rarely been in contact with each other, except for Aunt Heng next door. Unexpectedly, when she was worried, her aunt and uncle came over, and now she has the "backing" to hold a beautiful funeral for her father. Shen Yuewan led her uncle to the second floor and let her room go out for them to live in.
Wang Mengliang cleaned up the yard, pulled out the sloping shelves in the vegetable garden, and placed them neatly on the open space beside them.
After Yang Ming sent his father-in-law and mother-in-law over, he left. Xiaohui and Jingyu are still at home, and she is not sure that she can take care of Jingyu by herself.
My father's funeral was held for seven days, and many neighbors came to hold a funeral for my father in a beautiful manner. Shen Yin has also been busy dealing with these things at home, and she took half a month's vacation. During these seven days, there was no expression on her face, her eyes were red and swollen, her eyes were dull, and her mental state was also very poor.
If it weren't for the help of her aunt and uncle, she wouldn't have been able to handle these tedious things alone, not to mention that her father-in-law and mother-in-law also came to help, and invited the most famous band in town to play the Great Compassion Mantra for her father for three days.
Since Shen Yuehuan's school was going to hold an autumn sports day, she rushed back to school after her father's funeral, because she heard that if she could win the title of "outstanding athlete" this time, she would have the opportunity to enter the shortlist for the next semester's school scholarship. Grandma still lives at her aunt's house, and for so many days, grandma has never shown up, so she still doesn't know the news of Shen Yin's father's death. Shen Yin looked at the empty house, a sadness welled up in her heart, and she looked around blankly. Wang Mengliang hugged her from behind and said softly in her ear: "Don't look at it, let's go!" He gently covered her eyes, trying to pull her out of here.
He felt a stream of warm liquid flowing through his fingertips, and he leaned Shen Yin's head on her arms, "If you want to cry, you can cry, don't hold it." For so many days, he often saw Shen Yin secretly locking himself in his room and shedding tears, but he couldn't do anything for her except to look at her silently.
She lay on his shoulder and cried, while he gently stroked Shen Yin's back, trying to convey his mood at the moment.
"Didn't you already know?" Shen Yin asked vaguely.
He stood there and acquiesced.
Shen Yin let go of his hand, sat on the edge of the bed, wiped away his tears, and said lightly: "I'm okay, let's go!" ”
Wang Mengliang followed behind and put the suitcase in the car. She sat in the back seat, holding her father's posthumous photo in her hand.
When they returned to the county seat, Shen Yin actually fell asleep on her back, in the past seven days, she had almost no rest, she often had insomnia at night, her face was a little sallow, and the dark circles under her eyes were extremely serious. As soon as Wang Mengliang parked the car in the parking lot downstairs, she woke up.
"What do you think now?" Wang Mengliang opened the car door for her and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'll open the door." She got out of the car and fainted just one step up.
Wang Mengliang hurriedly grabbed her slender arm, took her in his arms, and carried her upstairs.
Shen Yin felt weak, and opened his eyes with difficulty, facing the concerned eyes of the king.
"Are you feeling better? I made pork rib soup, would you like to drink some? ”
She shook her head slightly, "I don't want to eat anything now, you put it down first, I'll eat it later." ”
He gently put his hand on her forehead and took her temperature within the normal range before relieving.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'll just get some sleep."
"Okay, you rest first, what's the matter call me." He covered her with the quilt and put her arm under the quilt.
"Hmm." Shen Yin closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Wang Mengliang walked out of the bedroom, and the mobile phone on the coffee table in the living room began to vibrate. It turned out to be a call from Xiao Qiuyue, and he walked to the balcony and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I made a mistake...... Qiu Yue said in a hoarse voice, and he could hear the panic in his heart.
He asked inexplicably, already having a premonition that something serious was happening, "What's wrong?" You speak slowly. ”
Qiu Yue was just about to explain, "Mr. Wang, I ...... privately. ...... on credit"
Xiao Yu stood beside Qiu Yue and impatiently snatched the mobile phone and said, "A big man twisted and pinched, let me tell you." ”
Wang Mengliang listened quietly to the movement over there, and the bad premonition in his heart became more and more obvious.
"That's right, Mr. Wang." Xiao Yu explained slowly: "Three months ago, that is, in July, the company wanted to purchase a batch of accessories, at that time the amount was huge, and the company's capital turnover could not be opened, so we made our own decisions and signed a contract with the supplier first, and it is expected that there will be funds in October, and the account can be paid off at that time." Unexpectedly, the supplier went bankrupt a week ago and was involved in a criminal case. It turned out that there was a problem with that batch of accessories, this morning the company received a customer complaint, saying that it was a lady who used our company's mobile phone and had an accident, and now it is not out of danger of life, the reporter has arrived at the door of the company, what are we going to do now? ”
"Something so serious, why are you saying it now?" He pounded angrily on the edge of the balcony, and the scene of the company's bankruptcy already came to mind.
Xiao Yu said weakly: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, we didn't handle it properly. ”
"You first stabilize the reporter at the door, and I'll deal with this matter." He calmly analyzed: "You first dismiss the company's employees and let them stop talking nonsense. ”
