When she came out of the bathroom, Zhang Jiao, who heard Tian Tian talking to someone, thought it was Liu's mother back.

I didn't bother to wipe my hands, so I hurried out.

"Is Mama Liu back? How is Aunt Feng's health? Are you sick or is there something going on at home? ”

She opened the curtain and found that Tian Tian and Wang Shasha were both looking at her with red eyes.

"What's wrong? Why do they all look like rabbits? Zhang Jiao didn't know why, and was joking with them.

Tian Tian sniffed, "Sister Jiaojiao, Aunt Feng passed away, and Sasha came over to quit her job for her." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jiao looked at Wang Shasha in shock.

She couldn't believe it, how could a good person suddenly disappear?

Wang Shasha re-said what she had just said to Tian Tian to Zhang Jiao, and then thanked her again.

This is the second purpose of her visit today, in addition to quitting her job.

"Hostess, thank you for taking care of you during this time. If it weren't for your willingness to help us, I'm afraid my mother and I wouldn't have been able to survive a long time ago. ”

In the past few years in Hong Kong City, Zhang Jiao's help to their mother and daughter is one of the few warmth they can have in this barren life.

Zhang Jiao felt sour in her heart when she heard this, and stepped forward to comfortably hug this girl who was obviously very sad but still pretended to be strong.

"Why didn't you come and tell us earlier, how hard you are a little girl."

She is not yet nineteen years old, but she is sensible and distressing.

Wang Shasha felt the kindness exuded by Zhang Jiao, and her eyes, which had already dried up, suddenly shed sad tears.

She hugged Zhang Jiao hard, and cried sadly, "We have received too much help from you, and we can't trouble you anymore." ”

Zhang Jiao sighed, there are always some people who only receive a little help, but they keep it in their hearts. It seems that I owe a lot to others, and I panic.

She gently patted Wang Shasha's back, "Has Aunt Feng's funeral been done?" ”

Wang Shasha nodded, came out of Zhang Jiao's arms, and wiped her tears. looked at Zhang Jiao's wet clothes with embarrassment.

I'm getting the boss in trouble again.

She used the money her mother saved during this time to buy a cheap public cemetery, and after cremation, she was buried.

There are only two of them left in the Wang family, and no matter how lively the ceremony is, there is no point. It's just that my poor mother can't pass away in a lively way.

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the hemp rope was broken in detail, and the bad luck was looking for the hard-working. Aunt Feng's family thought that Hong Kong City would be a new beginning in life, but it turned out to be the grave of their family.

Zhang Jiao persuaded, "You study hard in the future, don't let down your mother's hard work." Come to me if you have any trouble, and I'll do my best to help you. ”

"Why don't you come over and work on a day off or holiday?"

I can finally have a source of income and last until I finish college.

Zhang Jiao thinks that Wang Shasha should lack money the most now, if the money is not enough, I am afraid that she will not be able to finish college.

The proudest thing in Aunt Feng's life is that her daughter is angry and admitted to a good university.

Zhang Jiao thought that she must have hoped that her daughter could graduate successfully.

And Zhang Jiao also hopes that this strong girl can have her own new life.

Wang Shasha smiled bitterly, where does she have a future?

She shook her head and politely declined, "Boss, thank you, but no need." I'll go back first, and I still have something to do at home. ”

She made a lame excuse and said goodbye to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao wanted to keep her, but she couldn't resist Wang Shasha's insistence, so she could only watch her go away.

When she couldn't see Wang Shasha's back, Zhang Jiao retracted her gaze.

She glanced at Tian Tian, who was hiding under the cash register and wiping her tears, and didn't say anything with a slight pause.

After all, even I, who had been with Aunt Feng for a short time, felt uncomfortable hearing the news of her death, let alone Tian Tian, a person who was closer to Aunt Feng.

Zhang Jiao hid back in the back kitchen operation room in a depressed mood, lifted the flour bag and poured half a bag of flour on the board, added water, and kneaded the dough heavily in disappointment.

Aunt Feng is a strong and gentle lady who supports her daughter by herself.

Zhang Jiao admired her, respected her, and felt sorry for her unexpected death.

Zhang Jiao remembered her smiling face full of hope for life, and couldn't adapt to the sudden negative emotions for a while, so she could only rely on kneading dough to express it.

Brother Peng, who was in the air at the police station, came back with his bag and saw that everyone looked like they were all in low pressure.

I didn't ask much curiosity, and after reporting to Zhang Jiao, I sat down in the corner with interest.

Not long after he sat down, Liu's mother also returned.

She carried a large bag of gifts that were originally going to be given to Aunt Feng, and entered the door with red eyes.

*

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu's mother took the first Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier.

Aunt Feng's family rented a house in the crowded Liyu Bay, and Liu's mother carried the supplements brought by Zhang Jiaorang, as well as the gifts she had prepared, bypassing one narrow street after another.

Finally came downstairs to Aunt Feng's house.

Her house is on the third floor, and dozens of families live in a long corridor, and each door is cluttered with shoes, coal stoves and other daily necessities.

Mother Liu searched for a long time with her feet crossed her feet before she found the door of Aunt Feng's house.

It's the first time she's here, and if she hadn't left Aunt Feng's address, I'm afraid she might not have been able to find the exact place.

There are so many people living here that there is no clear house number, so it is really difficult to find.

Mother Liu put the gift bag in her hand on the ground, moved her reddened palm, and then bent her fingers and knocked on the door three times.

She waited for a while, but no one knocked on the door.

She thought she hadn't heard, so she raised her hand and continued to knock a few more times.

Still not moving.

Mother Liu thought to herself, could it be that Sister Feng was really sick and hospitalized?

"Don't knock, there's no one in her house." The fat grandmother on the other side of the door kept knocking when she didn't give up, and kindly reminded her.

The fat grandmother only saw the daughter of the opposite family go out not long ago, and even if the door is broken, no one will come to open the door.

Mother Liu turned around and saw the fat grandmother sitting at the door peeling beans, and stepped forward with a polite smile, "Do you know where her family went?" ”

The fat grandmother doesn't deal much with Aunt Feng's mother and daughter, but she has been a neighbor for so long, and it is the first time she has seen someone come up to the opposite side as a guest.

She couldn't help but be a little curious, "Who are you from her family?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

The fat grandmother didn't want to gossip, but she felt pitiful for the mother and daughter at the door, and was afraid that Mother Liu was here to find trouble.

Mother Liu took a snack from the gift bag and put it in the basket of the fat grandmother, and continued to inquire without changing her face.

"I was a friend who worked with her. She hadn't been to work for days, do you know what happened to her family? ”

The fat grandmother looked down at the snack box, the price was not cheap.

She looked Liu's mother up and down, and sighed for a while.

"You're late, the grandmother on the other side of the door fell down the stairs a few days ago, and the person is gone......"

The fat grandmother said something again, but Mother Liu didn't hear it clearly.

All that resounded in my head was the phrase "gone".

How is that possible? A few days ago, Sister Feng also said that when Sasha came back from vacation, she would invite her to dinner, so that Sasha would recognize her as her godmother.

How could people be gone?

Liu's mother seemed to have encountered a thunderbolt from the sky, her brain was blank, and she turned around and left in a daze, instinctively wanting to go back to the store.

The fat grandmother saw that her eyes were dull after hearing the letter, and she didn't know how to take things. Hurriedly picked up the gift bag that Liu's mother stacked in front of Aunt Feng's door, and chased after her to stuff the things into her hands.

There are all kinds of people living here in Liyu Bay, but not everyone is as kind as her. If the things are left there, they don't have to wait for the daughter on the other side to come back, and they will be taken away quickly.

"Be careful." The fat grandmother saw that Liu Ma Muleng took the things, and she knew how to thank her after being like this, she was really a polite person, so she comforted her sympathetically.

When she went back, the fat grandmother couldn't help but sigh in her mouth, the teacher on the other side was quite popular, and even a colleague was so sad to know about her death.

It's a pity, looking at the age is not very old, and there is a daughter who is studying, how can I be willing to give up?

The fat grandmother shook her head and entered the house.

*

If you want to say who has the best relationship with Aunt Feng in the whole store, it must be Mother Liu.

The two are close in age and have similar personalities.

Mother Liu is cheerful and optimistic, Aunt Feng is gentle and kind, and after getting along for a long time, they have become a pair of old sisters.

Aunt Feng saw that Mother Liu had no children and no daughters, and decided to let Wang Shasha recognize her as her godmother, and when she was old, she could take care of her justifiably.

Liu's mother was also willing, and said with a smile that she had more companions for the elderly.

What now? Alas!

Zhang Jiao came out of the operation room and saw that the big guys were all distracted and had no heart to do things.

Tian Tian, who no longer cries but still can't keep her spirits, Liu Ma, who is sitting in a daze, and two new employees who are not very familiar with Aunt Feng but keep sighing and regretting.

The growth of negative emotions made Zhang Jiao make a decision in her heart.

"Let's go back, I'll give everyone two days off to go back and adjust their condition. Wait until Friday to come back to work. ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in taking off his work clothes, and called the two new employees to put the unsold desserts and cakes on the container into kraft paper bags, and then divided a package between Tian Tian and the two of them, and asked them to leave first.

After that, she took out the bread from the oven made from the dough she had kneaded when she had just vented her emotions and wrapped it in brown paper.

I plan to send it to Chu Chan and them to make afternoon tea later.

After she cleaned up, Liu's mother was still sitting there and didn't move, Zhang Jiao walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Mother Liu should go, do you want to go back with me?"

Zhang Jiao wanted to bring Mother Liu back together, but she was not suitable to stay alone.

Hearing Miss's words, Mother Liu woke up like a dream, and she quickly wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand. "I'm not going back with you, I'll go home myself later."

She just wants to go back to her home and get some rest now.

After taking over Linglong, Liu's mother used the savings she had saved over the years to buy an apartment, which was in the community not far from Pearl Street.

Zhang Jiao is not at ease, her state is too bad.

"Miss, I just want to be alone." Liu's mother said this with some stubbornness.

Zhang Jiao sighed, she didn't expect the relationship between Mother Liu and Aunt Feng to be so good. "Then I'll let Brother Peng send you back."

She didn't care whether Liu's mother was willing or not, so she directly took Liu's mother out of the door and stuffed it into the car parked at the door.

"Brother Peng, you send Mother Liu home first, and then come to the police station to pick me up."

Brother Peng saw that the employees in the store had left one by one, and Liu's mother didn't look like she could work, so she took a broom and a rag and carefully cleaned the stains everywhere.

When Zhang Jiao called him, he was still dealing with the board in the operation room.

Brother Peng hurriedly turned off the faucet and strode out of the store, "Miss, I'm here to protect your safety, how can I leave your side?" ”

But seeing that Liu's mother was extremely sad, Brother Peng hesitated a little. "Otherwise, I'll send you to the police station first, and then send Mother Liu. You can wait for me at the police station, so it's safer. ”

Mother Liu opened her red eyes and struggled to get out of the car, "Miss, go get busy." I can do it myself. ”

Zhang Jiao looked at these "disobedient" employees, and pretended to be angry and put on the shelf of the young lady. "Okay, listen to me. How far away is Gudun Road, and what danger can it be? Don't bother, let's go! I want to go home early. ”

In this way, the two of them were finally frightened.

After they left, Zhang Jiao returned to the store to continue the unfinished cleaning work.

In fact, there is not much work, Brother Peng has already cleaned the store almost, Zhang Jiao only needs to put out the stagnant water in the sink, put the broom away, and then close the door of the store and leave.

She carried the bread and the things that her aunt asked her to bring, and slowly moved to the street step by step. She didn't stop until she saw a rickshaw waiting on the side of the road.

She summoned a rickshaw and asked the master to take her to the police station.

I'm a little tired today, and I don't want to walk very much.
