Chapter 208: Letters
Chen Xiangping died.
In fact, the last time they met, Zheng Kai could feel that Chen Xiangping's health was already very bad.
But Zheng Kai didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.
Chen Xiangping's life is too bitter.
The happiest moment of her life was the ten months of being pregnant with Li Ming.
She was displaced from her hometown to Zhi'an City, and all her family died, leaving her alone.
finally got married and had a child, but the child born was a monster.
Later, Li Fuzhi disappeared.
Li Ming is also missing.
She was a lonely person again.
She doesn't seem to have had much of a smooth life in her life.
Of course, Chen Xiangping also has something hateful.
She obviously knew the truth about the child abuse and murder case in the puzzle kindergarten, but she chose to hide it for the sake of Li Ming.
Li Ming is her son.
In her life, there is only such a child.
Zheng Kai's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists, and the words of the people around him had no effect on him.
Zheng Kai is not a person who cares about other people's evaluations.
After a long time, Zheng Kaicai wiped his red eyes and asked in a deep voice, "I want to go to the morgue to see Grandma Chen's body." ”
The female nurse breathed a sigh of relief, and Zheng Kai's control of his emotions was the best result.
After all, the hospital doesn't want to be in conflict with the patient's family.
"Come with me."
The female nurse leads the way in front.
Zheng Kai followed quietly behind him.
Zheng Kai was very sympathetic to Chen Xiangping.
Because he, like Chen Xiangping, is alone and has no relatives.
This feeling of loneliness became especially strong after Wang Qiang's disappearance.
In the past, Zheng Kai could comfort himself and Wang Qiang, a good friend, but now what can he comfort himself?
"Maybe I'm not as good as Chen Xiangping when I die."
Zheng Kai laughed to himself.
Chen Xiangping is dead, and Zheng Kai cares about the future.
But what about Zheng Kai dead?
Zheng Kai's thoughts were a little wandering, maybe he died, and it was really no one who cared about and took care of the aftermath.
It's a sense of pathos that resonates.
Because in Chen Xiangping's body, Zheng Kai saw his future.
The morgue of the hospital.
Chen Xiangping died only yesterday, and there was no family accompanying her, the hospital wanted to classify Chen Xiangping as a body without relatives, if Zheng Kai did not come today, Chen Xiangping's body might be cremated in the afternoon.
After all, people die every day in hospitals.
The morgue can't fit in the body's locker.
Zheng Kai lifted the white cloth on it with his own hands, and Chen Xiangping's familiar old cheeks appeared in Zheng Kai's eyes.
The skin of the dead is always exceptionally white.
In particular, after one night in the morgue, the corpse will show this white color in a low temperature environment.
Zheng Kai looked at Chen Xiangping's face, silent.
The female nurse stood aside, silently waiting for Zheng Fa to vent her emotions.
To be honest, over the years, doctors and nurses have seen many family members of patients crying bitterly in front of the body and almost fainting.
But Zheng Kai didn't cry, he was just in the hall on the first floor, his emotions were a little out of control, and then he controlled his emotions very well.
After a long time, Zheng Kai said softly, "Thank you." ”
The female nurse hurriedly responded: "Mourning! In fact, the old man has lived a long life, which is also a blessing, at least there is no disease and no disaster. ”
Is it a blessing?
Zheng Kai pursed his lips and did not answer.
Chen Xiangping is the only one in her life who has nothing to do with the word blessing.
"Please help arrange the cremation in the afternoon, I will pay for it."
Zheng Kaiqing said sincerely.
The female nurse nodded and left the morgue with Zheng Kai.
The cremation in the afternoon was swift.
The most troublesome thing about cremation is not the process, but the preparation.
For example, signing a letter of responsibility, sorting out the remains of the deceased, and family members are reluctant to cry and so on.
If these preparations are skipped, cremation is actually as simple as pushing the body into the crematorium.
After a few hours, the ashes will be put together and handed over to the family of the deceased.
Zheng Kai used to work in a funeral home and was very clear about the cremation process.
Watching Chen Xiangping's body being pushed into the crematorium, the orange-yellow fire wrapped the corpse until he couldn't see the corpse, Zheng Kai was expressionless all the time.
Cremation is not expensive.
Zheng Kai paid 1,000 yuan and set up the urn.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zheng Kai walked out of the funeral home with the urn.
This feeling of holding something in his arms is a little familiar, and Zheng Kai only then thought that he had also hugged something like this in the world of strange things.
Back to the dorm.
Zheng Kai looked at Chen Xiangping's urn in a daze.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of Zheng Kai's dormitory.
Zheng Kai opened the door and opened it, and it was a package sent by the courier.
The consignee did write Zheng Kai's name, address and contact information at all.
Sender: Chen Xiangping.
After Zheng Kai signed for it, he returned to the room and unpacked the package.
Inside there was a letter, as well as a bunch of keys.
Zheng Kai didn't look at the key, but solemnly opened the letter.
"Zheng Kai, it's the first time I've called your name so officially."
"Wife, I should be dying."
"Before leaving, I thought about what to leave behind, but there are no more relatives in such a big city."
"In the end, I can only write you a few words, nagging."
Chen Xiangping writes letters very casually, does not follow a very formal letter writing format, and there will be a few typos in a sentence, and even write a character with a cross and rewrite.
The whole letter looks like a child's essay.
"Actually, I knew a long time ago that you were lying to me, you stayed in kindergarten, but you didn't have a grandfather surnamed Li."
"Most of the children who were able to stay in that kindergarten were orphans."
"When I was in kindergarten, those children were not only orphans, but they also had physical problems, and no one outside wanted to see them."
"I don't want you to be this kind of child, so I want to leave my current house to you, I don't know what will, I don't know what real estate deed, but I gave you the key, if you want to live, go and live."
Zheng Kai's eyes drooped.
When Chen Xiangping wrote this letter, her eyes actually couldn't be opened.
She had a lot of trouble reading, let alone writing.
"Child, it's good to be a good person, but you can't be too kind, too kind and others will bully you."
"Other children are being bullied, you can run back and hug their parents, you can't."
"You're a boy, it's embarrassing to cry, it's uncomfortable not to cry, if you really encounter something sad, what can you do........"
Zheng Kai wiped his eyes, still silent, but the hand holding the paper was trembling slightly.
The handwriting of the last few dots is very dark, and after Chen Xiangping finished writing this sentence, the tip of the pen stopped for a long time in the back.
When Chen Xiangping was not in good health, she was still worried about Zheng Kai in her heart.
Maybe
Zheng Kai is the last warm light in her later life.
