Chapter 2 Cleaning up the belongings

Jin Xi turned on the laptop and sorted out all the photos from childhood to adulthood, especially with her mother, and wrote a letter to a stranger, which should be said to be a suicide note. The letter contained his identity information, household registration, the address of his mother's cemetery, and the card number and password of a bank card, with a few lines attached: "My relatives are deceased, alone, and I have nothing to rely on." If I die, please bury my ashes in the above cemetery, 100,000 in the card, in addition to the funeral expenses, the rest of the grateful, may the good people be safe! Then he put them on a red USB stick and hung them on his chest along with his mother's ashes china bottle.

Jin Xi went out, walked straight to the nearby real estate agent, and told the account manager who received her that she wanted to sell the house, because it was near the campus and it was a small apartment, this kind of house was easy to sell, and the manager said that it would definitely be sold at a good price. After registering the information, Jin Xi bought two more sugar baked cakes at the biscuit shop on the street and went home. Turn on the computer, log in to the second-hand goods trading network, Jin Xi began to take pictures, all furniture, household appliances, pots and pans, everything that can be hung up, eat a few bites of baked cakes, white water sent down, Jin Xi was in a daze and didn't know whether to faint or sleep, until the computer prompt sounded, Jin Xi was awakened. Someone wanted to buy furniture, and after some conversation, the buyer decided to come to inspect the goods the next day, and after that, Jin Xi lost consciousness again, these days, she was too tired.

Early the next morning, Jin Xi was woken up by the sound of car horns outside the window, the sky was overcast, and it was not raining, but there was a strong sense of depression in the air, which was suffocating. Jin Xi got up, went to the kitchen to boil two eggs, poured himself a glass of water to drink, stared at the pot in a daze, until the boiling water poured out from the edge of the pot, then quickly turned off the fire, the eggs were washed with cold water to cool down, Jin Xi mechanically peeled off the eggshell, put it in his mouth, chewed, swallowed, and his mother said that he would eat two eggs a day.

When it was almost nine o'clock, the phone rang, it was yesterday that wanted to buy furniture, Jin Xi pointed to the direction of the Yin community, and soon, a pair of young people knocked on the door, it seemed to be a couple, and they asked that they rented a house in a community not far from here, and the two had just graduated here and chose a local company for an internship. Jin Xi asked why she chose to stay in Ben Cheng, and the girl said that this was the place where her mother was born, and her mother never came back after marrying far away, and she had a complex for this place, and they had been studying here for a few years, and they were admitted to the university here because they liked it, and her mother also wanted to come back. I asked the boy and said you are not a local either, the boy looked at the girl and smiled and said, "Anyway, where is she and where I am, I don't have the money to buy a house now, rent it first, and then buy a big house and get married when it is developed." Jin Xi listened to the boy's firm words, smiled, and thought about this city, some people come and don't want to leave, some people want to go and never come back, whether they go or stay, all because of certain complexes and because of some stories. Then Jin Xi said: "Look at the furniture, although it has been used for several years, but because of careful use, it is still eight or nine percent new, and there is no damage." Yes, the furniture was once chosen with my mother, the white piano lacquer surface was printed with light blue roses, the wardrobe, bed, bedside table, dresser, TV cabinet were all sets, and the dining table was also selected in white for matching. The girl liked it very much, and then said, "Is my sister going somewhere else?" Don't you want such new furniture? Jin Xi was silent for a few seconds and said, "Yes, I'm going to another city." "Oh, that's it." The boy whispered to the girl, "I think it's all good, what do you think?" The two looked at each other and smiled. The boy said: "Sister, we have just graduated, we don't have much money, your furniture is really good, we just rented a lot of houses have to be prepared, we can use them, see if it can be cheaper, we want it." Jin Xi looked at the eager eyes of the two children and said, "Three thousand yuan, take them all." The boy said: "Sister, it's cheaper, we have to find someone to dismantle it, we have to find a moving company, and we have to reassemble it when we go back, and it will all cost money, can we 。。。。。。 "That's it, I'll pay for the move, I'll move all the two thousand and a half, and the hanger, the shoe cabinet, and the four chairs, by the way, and this simple sofa, all of which will be given to you." The girl opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak, and the boy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Really, sister, oh, that's really, thank you so much, oh, I don't know what to say." The girl looked a little excited: "Sister, we must cherish it, thank you from the bottom of my heart!" Jin Xi smiled faintly: "Just have your words, you must cherish it!" The two made an appointment with the moving company on the spot, and after making sure that they could come to the door to disassemble and assemble, they decided to move early the day after tomorrow, paid the deposit, and left happily.

Jin Xi was stunned for a while and began to sort out her mother's belongings. Mom's things don't have much, clothes account for the majority, and her own clothes, books, etc., Jin Xi also sorted and packed her bags, leaving only a backpack, two jeans, two T-shirts and two sets of underwear. Jin Xi called the courier and found out the address where she had donated supplies to the mountainous area, and she wanted to donate them to those who needed them, because she didn't really need anything anymore. The courier arrived as promised, and as Jin Xi explained, he brought the largest silk bag over, because there were a lot of things. The courier looked at a room full of packages and asked in surprise, so many, do you want to send an address? Jin Xi said yes, they were all mailed to an address as donated materials, and the courier looked at it and said: "Oh, then go to logistics, the package is too big, it is estimated that it will take two bags, take logistics to save money, and it will take about the same time as express delivery." Jin Xi said that it was okay, anyway, there was no hurry.

The courier began to pack, and Jin Xi picked up a pen and paper and wrote two notes, which read: "I hope that these items can help many people, they are things that the owner cherishes and uses, and I also hope that the people who wear and use them can be happy." Jin Xibi', she put the two notes in two bags, and the courier began to seal them. After filling in the address and paying the fee, the courier called another helper, each carrying a bag more than one meter wide and one person high, and went downstairs. Looking back at the empty wardrobe, Jin Xi's heart was also empty, cleaning up the remaining garbage, the phone rang, it was the boy who bought furniture, he said: "Sister, sell me those household appliances of yours, in fact, we all need them, see that you use things very carefully, we can rest assured." "Tonight, I said, okay, you can take a look together when you come the day after tomorrow.

Jin Xi was very tired, lying on the bed but couldn't sleep, put on her coat and went out. This damn weather, the rain was wrapped in sand and dust, and there were mud spots on the clothes little by little, Jin Xi didn't have an umbrella, put on a coat and hat, walked towards the supermarket on the street, bought a dozen beers, a few pastries, went out of the supermarket and went straight to the hotel on the corner to open a room, went in and took a hot shower, turned on the TV, and started drinking beer until he lost consciousness. She dreamed that she was in the middle of the sea, the sea water had reached her shoulder, she couldn't move, and the sky in the distance was lightning, getting closer and closer, until the lightning burst above her head, and Jin Xi was awakened by fright. Turned on the phone, it was two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, got up and washed his face, ate a piece of pastry, drank a bottle of beer, fell asleep in a daze, in the dream, it was the middle of the sea, and it was the lightning that gradually approached him, when the lightning exploded above his head, Jin Xi was scared to wake up again. This damn dream, look at the time, it's half past six in the morning, hurry up and get dressed, check out, go home, today is the day when the couple comes to move the furniture.

The moving company was quick with its hands and feet, and the furniture was dismantled in an orderly manner, and the house began to move out in an orderly manner, watching the house become more and more empty, the traces of her mother disappeared little by little, and Jin Xi's heart seemed to be cut by a knife. In the end, the appliances and kitchen utensils that could be used at home were sold to the couple, leaving only the small pot that the mother used to cook eggs. The girl said, "Sister Jin Xi, thank you very much, a lot of things have been given to us, even the ingredients have been given to us." The place we rent is about the same size as this, if it weren't for the lack of money now, I really want to buy your house directly, and when I go back, I will also arrange these furniture according to your furnishings, you must go to our house once, my boyfriend's cooking is delicious, you must come! Tonight smiled and promised: "If you have the opportunity, you must go, don't forget to use them and take good care of them!" ”

The home is really empty, the emptiness makes Jin Xi feel strange, in the corner of the room, there are two beds of bedding, and her mother's pillow towel is still stained with her hair loss, Jin Xi folded the pillow towel, put it in the backpack, and put the only small pot of boiled eggs left in the kitchen into the backpack. On the drying rack on the balcony, she found the burgundy shawl that her mother wore when she was basking in the sun here, and it also had the smell of her mother on it. Jin Xi shed tears, neatly folded the shawl and put it into the backpack.

Today, the home is no longer a home, but just a house that has not yet been sold.

Jin Xi resigned and lived in a single room in the hotel near her home, because she couldn't sleep, she numbed herself with alcohol every day, and the cleaning aunt had to take away a bunch of bottles and cans every day, and sometimes met in the corridor, and the aunt would persuade her: "Child, don't drink like this, it hurts so much, it's no big deal to fall out of love, who leaves who can't do it this year, look at it, don't let your family worry." Jin Xi smiled every time and didn't speak, and when she returned to the room, she started crying, she wanted her mother to worry about her, but 。。。。。。

The house was entrusted to the agent, during which several buyers were interested, but because Jin Xi refused to bargain, they were all yellow, and she didn't want to let this once happy home be damaged. After waiting for more than two months, the house was sold to a family of three at a price of 550,000 yuan, and the children were about to go to school. Jin Xi came to the police station in the jurisdiction again, moved out of the household registration and handled community trusteeship. After everything was dealt with, Jin Xi looked up at the hazy sky and whispered: "Mom, you wait for me a little longer, it won't be too long." ”

Jin Xi came to the bank, first transferred 100,000 yuan to an account, and then opened the mobile phone ticket purchase website and bought a ticket to West Island the next morning. When I returned to the hotel, I began to sort out the remaining belongings: a backpack, two jeans, two sets of underwear, two T-shirts, a mother's pillow, a mother's shawl, a small pot of boiled eggs, a few hundred yuan in the wallet, documents, a bank card of 100,000 yuan and another bank card of 450,000 yuan, a mobile phone and more than 4,000 yuan in a WeChat coin purse, a laptop, as well as clothes on the body and a special necklace on the chest. Jin Xi turned on the laptop, looked at all the photos, then formatted the machine, turned on the mobile phone, and dialed the boy who bought furniture more than two months ago: "Xiao Chen, it's me, Sister Jin Xi." "Sister Jin Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time, you didn't reply to your messages before, and you didn't answer your calls, we thought you were gone, and you still 。。。。。。" Without waiting for Xiao Chen to finish speaking, his girlfriend Tingting snatched the phone: "Sister Jin Xi, where are you?" I miss you so much! "I'm still in Ben Thanh, a cloudy plane." "Huh? That's it, Sister Jin Xi, come to our house today, let's have dinner together and hold a send-off banquet for you, okay? That's it, send you the address, and I'll come in a while! Jin Xi thought about it, he had to leave the city after all, maybe it would be soon。。。。。。 Before parting, there was a person to say goodbye, and he would not be too lonely, but he never thought that the person who said goodbye in the end turned out to be a person who only had two sides, and life was really dramatic. Jin Xi replied: "Okay, I'll go over in a while!" "Great, hurry up, I'll let Xiao Chen prepare, Xiao Chen Xiao Chen 。。。。。。" Tingting shouted and hung up the phone.

Jin Xi washed her hair, tidied herself up a little, took her laptop and went out, according to the address sent by Tingting, it took about twenty minutes to walk, Jin Xi thought it was really close. After buying some beer, drinks, and fruit at a nearby convenience store, Kim Xi knocked on the door. "Sister, you're here, soon, come in, come in!" Tingting greeted Jin Xi warmly, Xiao Chen was busy in the kitchen, holding the kitchen knife that her mother used every day, and chopping ribs on the cutting board that her mother used every day. Jin Xi suddenly shook her head until Tingting took the thing in her hand. "Sister Jin Xi, what are you buying these for, you have them at home!" "Oh, simply bring some drinks, how can there be any reason to visit the door empty-handed!" The moment she entered the room, Jin Xi was stunned, as Tingting said, she arranged this small home according to the original furnishings, and in an instant, Jin Xi's eyes were moist, looking at this familiar scene mixed with a trace of unfamiliarity, her heart was really mixed. "It's exactly the same!" Jin Xi sighed. "Yes, Sister Jin Xi, how is it, does it feel like going home? Ha ha! Tingting took Jin Xi's hand and said happily. Jin Xi smiled and walked to the kitchen. Xiao Chen was busy, the rice cooker used by his mother was bubbling with aroma, and the pork rib soup was simmering in the wok used by his mother, Xiao Chen said, "Sister, let's start the meal immediately!" Tingting urged me to hurry, so I simply made a few dishes and tried my craftsmanship! Jin Xi couldn't hold back the tears, hurriedly turned around, it turned out that the white dining table with her mother was spread with a sunflower pattern cloth, on which were placed the six dishes that had been prepared, the dishes and chopsticks had been arranged, Jin Xi remembered the figure of her mother when she asked herself to eat, and the tears couldn't hold back anymore and burst out of her eyes. Jin Xi hurriedly wiped his eyes and said, "I'll wash my hands quickly, I can't help it!" He walked into the bathroom.

Adjust the mood, the three of them sat down, and the six dishes and one soup were full of color and flavor. Everyone chatted and ate, Jin Xi looked at the happy appearance of the couple, and thought enviously, in the next life, I also hope to have such a happy moment, a happy family, someone who loves me and someone I love. Full of wine and food, seeing that it was getting late, Jin Xi took out the laptop computer and said, "I can't use this computer, and I have a lot of fate with you, so I'll give it to you!" Tingting covered her mouth, and hurriedly declined: "No, no, Sister Jin Xi, how can you accept this, you have already given us a lot, this is too valuable, we can't ask for it!" "Yes, Sister Jin Xi, this really can't be accepted!" Xiao Chen also hurriedly declined. Jin Xi smiled, pushed the computer to Tingting, and said, "You just treat your sister as a gift for you, what, you don't want to have my sister!" "Of course not, I'm so happy to have your sister, it's just, this 。。。。。。" Tingting looked embarrassed. "That's okay, take it, I don't need it, and besides, there is a lot of luggage, and it's not convenient to carry it." After a stalemate for a few minutes, Xiao Chen said: "Tingting, let's accept my sister's kindness, Sister Jin Xi, then we're welcome, we must contact each other often in the future, you have another sister and a brother-in-law in Bincheng!" If you have the opportunity to come back, you will come to your brother-in-law's house, and you will be satisfied with the good wine and food! Hey! "Okay, surely, you two are good, Xiao Chen, you have to treat Tingting well!" Tingting hugged Jin Xi and said reluctantly: "Sister Jin Xi, you must contact often!" ”

Jin Xi declined the proposal of the two to send the plane early, the three said goodbye, Jin Xi left, on the way, Jin Xi received a WeChat, it was Xiao Chen who transferred 2,000 yuan, and sent a message saying: "Sister Jin Xi, you shouldn't have used this computer for long, we really can't ask for it in vain, don't be too little money, you must keep it, and we can use it with peace of mind." Get off the plane and report that you are safe, so that your sister and brother-in-law can rest assured! ”。 Jin Xi smiled and replied: "Okay, then I wish my sister and brother-in-law all the best, safe and healthy!" ”

The wind at night was a little cool, and the air smelled of haze, and I felt a little dizzy when the wind blew because of the alcohol. Jin Xi walked slowly, unconsciously walked to the door of the house where she had lived for five years, the couplet on the door was still pasted with her mother during the New Year, and the hand that just wanted to knock on the door stopped in mid-air, because there was a voice in her head that told her that this is no longer your home, and tears flowed down instantly. Jin Xi ran out like crazy, rushed into the room of the hotel on the corner, cried until he was exhausted, and cried until he fell asleep. Until the lightning exploded overhead in the dream, Jin Xi was awakened and looked at his watch, it was already more than six o'clock in the morning. Dizzy and groggy, his throat was so tight that he couldn't make a sound, Jin Xi went to the bathroom and took a hot shower for half an hour, thinking about the lightning dream. Blowing dry his hair, drinking a glass of water, feeling a little hot in his head, taking the special necklace, carrying the only remaining backpack, Jin Xi set off in the direction of the airport.
