On the corridor outside the oncology ward, Tang Zhichu stood outside the ward.

Ten minutes later, the doctor pushed open the door and saw the patient's family, first shook his head, then patted Tang Zhichu's shoulder, and also glanced at the few people behind Tang Zhichu, and said, "Mourn, you have done a good job." ”

The doctor's mood was not high, and after speaking, he turned around and left, and the nurse behind him began to explain the follow-up treatment.

Pancreatic cancer is in an advanced stage, the organs have failed, and the gods are incurable.

Tang Xiuju leaned against the wall weakly as if a tendon had been drawn, and Tao Bo next to her also reached out to cover his face.

Wang Jun came to Tang Zhichu, and he hugged Tang Zhichu.

Tang Zhichu broke free: "I'll go and issue a death certificate, you can help me guard it for a while." ”

"I'll go." Wang Jun said.

"No, I'll go."

Opening a death certificate is like erasing the traces of a person's existence in the world little by little, but it is also imprinted in Tang Zhichu's heart little by little.

Tang Zhichu felt that people are like a book, only when you leave or die, you will read this book seriously.

When Tang Zhichu stood on the huge torrent of memories from Tang Maode's perspective.

The confrontation between father and son slowly faded.

Under the hook of memory, the fragments buried in the daily trivialities are refracted with light.

Tang Zhichu felt that this was not the re-polishing of the years, nor was it the re-examination of his own arrival, but they did not look directly at those things that seemed to be taken for granted.

After issuing the death certificate, Tang Zhichu stood for a long time before dialing the funeral number, and then went upstairs.

At the staircase, Tang Zhichu suddenly said: "I hope that another world will receive you like me." ”

There were two more people outside the ward, Tang Zhichu just glanced at them, and then silently entered the ward.

Seeing Tang Zhichu like this, Jiang Lan's heart was broken, his parents were divorced, obviously he had prejudices against his mother, and he came with his mother, so he made a mistake.

Xu Yu didn't care so much and entered the ward.

The nurse had pushed away all kinds of instruments and medicines, and the people on the beds were covered with white cloths.

"Zhichu." Xu Yu screamed.

"Since you're here, let's say goodbye."

Xu Yu was stunned, and although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Tang Zhichu's indifference.

For Xu Yu, Tang Zhichu felt that he had no right to reconcile.

Xu Yu chose the life she wanted, it is understandable, in her memory, her life with her father was indeed not smooth.

But in the early days, Yuzhou was a city of rivers and lakes, why do you say that? According to statistics, one out of every 30 people in Yuzhou City is engaged in hot pot-related industries.

In the early days, Yuzhou was a city that dealt with food, and it was inevitable to do night markets, drinking and playing cards.

This is the foundation of Tang Maode and that family's survival, of course, Tang Zhichu has no right to accuse Xu Yu, it's normal, which woman is willing to live this kind of life?

It's just that from the perspective of result orientation, if Tang Zhichu doesn't come to this world, what kind of ending will the father and son have?

Xu Yu didn't speak, judging from the way she was dressed, it also proved that her choice was right.

Xu Yu came to the bedside, she stretched out her trembling hand, slowly lifted the white cloth, looked at it a few times, and Xu Yu covered it back.

"Have relatives and friends notified?" Xu Yu asked.

"Informed."

"Is the ceremony decided?"

"Communicated with the funeral home, the day after tomorrow."

......

Xu Yu asked several questions, and Tang Zhichu answered them all.

It's a pity that I didn't see the last one, but my son has grown up.

"Then I'll come back the day after tomorrow, something... Call me for something. ”

Tang Zhichu sent Xu Yu to the elevator, and Jiang Lan went to the bathroom without going with Xu Yu.

When she returned, she happened to meet Jiang Lan in the corridor, and she had an extra bag in her hand.

Jiang Lan has never encountered this scene, and he feels that it is not good to say anything, Tang Zhichu is also more mature than he thought, and everything has been arranged.

"You came here without much food earlier, so I ordered you something to eat." Jiang Lan handed over the bag in his hand.

Tang Zhichu took it: "I'm fine, Sister Lan, you go back." ”

Jiang Lan looked at his watch, and then said, "That's it, I'll stay until twelve o'clock and accompany you." ”

This time, Tang Zhichu did not refuse.

In fact, I didn't stay in the hospital until twelve o'clock, and in less than half an hour, the funeral home people came, and at half past ten, the body was transferred to the funeral home.

The number of people in the funeral home gradually increased.

My aunt's family, my uncle was on a business trip, but my aunt came over, and my sister-in-law called, saying that it would be a plane tomorrow morning.

and Tang Maode's group of brothers, almost all of them came.

I was mostly concerned, afraid that Tang Zhichu would not be able to handle it, but when I came, I found that Tang Zhichu arranged it in an orderly manner.

Various processes are being confirmed and followed up.

Tang Zhichu has been communicating with the funeral staff, he did not save money, and he was busy until the body was in the coffin.

In the hall, Tang Zhichu looked at everyone, first bowed, and then said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the elders, as well as your close relatives and friends, the time is very late, the ceremony is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and I sincerely invite all the elders and close relatives and friends to attend the farewell ceremony of my father, that is, Mr. Tang Maode, I am tired of everyone." ”

Someone waved his hand and found that many words were not suitable for speaking, so he only whispered a few words of comfort and left the funeral home.

The aunt and Wang Jun went to see off the guests.

Jiang Lan didn't leave, she always felt that everyone looked at her strangely, and when the group of big men came, she was a little frightened, and took two steps behind Tang Zhichu.

Jiang Lan almost thought that Tang Zhichu's father would not be a social person before his death, and only said hello after introducing each other.

Jiang Lan understands that everyone may have a misunderstanding, but if he lets himself go now, he can't do it.

Tang Zhichu looked very calm, and even carefully checked every clause on the funeral service, his father was gone, and his mother was not there for special reasons.

Jiang Lan tried to empathize, it was too difficult, she couldn't go.

Watching everyone leave, Tang Zhichu turned around and happened to see Jiang Lan leaning against the wall with blank eyes.

Tang Zhichu took two bottles of water from the table next to him and walked in front of Jiang Lan.

"Let's go, I'll send you back." Tang Zhichu said and handed her a bottle of water.

The main reason was that Tang Zhichu was thirsty, and the time had already exceeded twelve o'clock, and he didn't drink a sip of water.

Jiang Lan took the water, nodded first, and then shook his head.

"I'll go back by myself, it'll be fine."

Tang Zhichu raised his head and took half a bottle of water in one breath, then turned around and put the bottle on another table.

"Let's go, it's almost half past one, and I'm done."

Out of the funeral home, this side is very remote, and there is a section of the road that is particularly dark, Jiang Lan is relieved, but fortunately he is not strong.

She is different from some people, she is not very afraid of people, but she is afraid of ghosts.

When I asked, I found out that Jiang Lan was not a local and only had one rental house in Yuzhou, but she didn't want to go back to rent, it was too late, and she wanted to go back to the company.

The company has a rest room, and she wants to sleep more tomorrow so that she can get up and work.

So, Tang Zhichu sent Jiang Lan back to her company.
