After emergency rescue and surgery, You Lianhua survived, but she was in a coma.

The doctor gave her nursing advice based on her past medical history.From Jiang Lai's words, Jiang Lai could hear that even if the old lady regained her senses, she would probably lose her ability to move forever.

In other words, it was the mother who lost half of her life when she heard the news of her son's death.

Jiang Lai ran up and down to go through various formalities. The nurse caught up with him and took out a blue diamond hairpin with a silver background from his pocket.

She said: "It was removed before the operation, and I have been forgetting to give it to the family."

Jiang Lai gripped the hairpin tightly, the broken diamond made his palm ache.He went back to the ward, stood in front of the door and looked in through a small piece of glass on the door panel.

The old lady You was awake, motionless, her eyes were cloudy, and the lines in the corners of her eyes seemed to have deepened a lot.

Jiang Lai pushed the door open, and Bei Xiaowu was lying beside the old man's bed.He hadn't gone to bed for days.Ever since the two of them cried when they met that day, Jiang Lai never saw this kid shed a single tear.

At this moment, Bei Xiaowu was extremely sleepy, holding his grandma's hand, breathing heavily, probably not relaxed in his dream.

Jiang Lai stepped forward, took off his down jacket and put it on for Bei Xiaowu, and slightly licked the corners of his lips at the open-eyed old lady.

"Uh!" Bei Xiaowu felt warm and woke up with a start. His heart was beating extremely fast, and he leaned on the back of the chair and wiped his face.

"Sleep a little longer." Jiang Lai patted Bei Xiaowu on the shoulder.

Bei Xiaowu shook his head, got up to look at the liquid hanging on the hook, but fortunately there was only one third left, and he sat back in the chair weakly.

Because grandma was still in the hospital, Bei Tiangui's funeral was very simple.

That night, according to the procedures, Bei Xiaowu was taken to the morgue by the traffic police to claim Bei Tiangui's body and belongings.

Although it has been cleaned by the forensic doctor, it can still be seen what Bei Tiangui experienced at the moment of his death.

Unrecognizable, multiple fractures, arms and legs bent at a strange angle, more cruel than all the horror movies Bei Xiaowu has seen in the past ten years combined.

There is also the smoky smell of alcohol on his body, mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the freezer, which makes people very uncomfortable.In the end, Bei Tiangui still couldn't quit that glass of wine.

In the end, Dad is still a weak and greedy person.

Bei Xiaowu remembered that when the two families had dinner together, Bei Tiangui had vowed to give up drinking. Although at the time he felt that this was not the first time he had said it and it probably wasn’t the first time, but he still vaguely hoped that this time he would really give up. quit.

This accident was unexpected and seemed reasonable again.

For a person who loves to drink, a person who talks about quitting alcohol all day long but never really quits, a person who deals with cars all day, this is just God's punishment for him.

Bei Xiaowu was surprisingly calm, not afraid at all, just like Bei Tiangui fell asleep on the sofa after being drunk again.

He touched Bei Tiangui's cold forehead, and said goodbye to his father in his heart.

Probably because he had cried enough in Jiang Lai's arms, and he didn't shed another tear during the whole process.

"It's him, it's my father." Bei Xiaowu nodded, took the certificate from the traffic policeman, and signed his name.

That was the first time that Bei Xiaowu really felt that his handwriting was ugly, and his mind was full of images of Bei Tiangui standing in front of the desk and scolding him for his ugly handwriting.

It was also the first time he felt that the three words "Bei Xiaowu" had weight, and they would appear on such an occasion.

He tried his best to write those three characters well, stroke by stroke, like a solemn farewell.Say goodbye to the days of having a father, say goodbye to childhood.

The funeral company was found by Jiang Lai, the one near the hospital, the store is small but the owner is skilled in business.One-stop service from car dispatch, cremation, cemetery purchase to burial.In just one day, Bei Tiangui was permanently buried in the cemetery.

The temporary cemetery was still being repaired, and Bei Tiangui was buried on a sudden high ground. Bei Xiaowu remembered that there was a thick pine and cypress next to it.

Going down the mountain from the cemetery to the city, Bei Xiaowu looked up the mountain from time to time, and was surprised to find that even standing in the city, he could still see the high and protruding hill where Bei Tiangui was buried.

When Jiang Lai comforted Bei Xiaowu, he said, "He just changed his place to protect you."

Looking at his side face, Jiang Lai felt that the child's frowning expression suddenly showed signs of being sharpened by pain, so he let out a breath as lightly as possible.

It was as if Mrs. You had aged more than ten years overnight, and Bei Xiaowu had also grown up suddenly.

But no matter how subtle Jiang Lai's movements were, Bei Xiaowu still noticed it.

Bei Xiaowu has been extremely sensitive recently.

Jiang Lai raised his hand to stroke his back, comforting him.

"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it later." Jiang Lai said.

Bei Xiaowu shook his head slightly, and then seemed to suddenly remember: "Aunt Xue said to bring food at noon."

Jiang Lai sighed, "Don't count on her, what can she do."

Just as he was talking, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the disheveled Sherman came in carrying an insulated bucket.

She always pays attention to her own image, and when she goes to dinner next door, she has to choose a silk scarf to match before she goes out. The successive blows in the past two days made her completely lose the mood to tidy up.

"I made some porridge. I wanted to make some soup and noodles, but I messed it up." Xue Man looked tired, lowered his eyes, and seeing Mrs. You's hollow and cloudy eyes, he immediately started crying.

Jiang Lai didn't know how to comfort Xue Man, the day before when he went home to take a bath, the light in Xue Man's room was dark but he was crying faintly.When he took a shower and was about to return to the hospital, he saw a bright red quilt cover stuffed with brocade embroidery in the trash can at the door.

Xue Man and Bei Tiangui made an appointment to collect the certificate after the New Year, and it will never be possible.

"Mom, no, let's find an aunt to help at home. Grandma will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, and you won't be able to do it alone." Jiang Lai said.

Xue Man rubbed his red and swollen eyes, nodded, "Well, I'll go to the labor market in the afternoon."

Bei Xiaowu opened the thermos that Xue Man brought, poured out the rice porridge and walked to grandma's bedside while blowing hot air.

"A drink?" he asked.

Old Madam You remained calm, but a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, silently making Bei Xiaowu back away.

"Aunt Xue, be sure to invite a capable aunt to come, and I will give you money later." Bei Xiaowu took a mouthful of porridge and said to Xue Man.

When it comes to Qian Bei Xiaowu actually has a guilty conscience.Bei Tiangui assured that Bei Xiaowu had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, but he hardly talked to him about the family's financial situation.

Mrs. You may know something, but she is lying on the bed and can't speak a word. She can only barely utter a few syllables in her throat.

Xue Man calmed down a little, and began to worry about money.Although she sells paintings and takes a few students with her, her income is not stable enough.

In addition, I am used to being pampered and pampered. I buy everything that is expensive. It is indeed a bit difficult to feed a family and hire a nanny while ensuring the quality of life before.

Fortunately, on the day Mrs. Ganyou was discharged from the hospital, Xue Man still found a nanny who worked hard and paid less.

You know, many migrant workers went back to their hometowns for the New Year a few years ago, and it was hard to find even a regular part-timer for cleaning, let alone a nanny.

However, hard work paid off, Xue Man ran to the labor market for three days in a row, made countless intermediary calls, and by chance, met Chi Xiaohong who was looking for a job at the entrance of the labor market.

"Xiaohong has never been a nanny, but she helped take care of her younger siblings in her hometown, and even took care of her grandmother who was sick and bedridden. As long as she has a place to live, the salary depends on her. What a wonderful child."

Xue Man told Jiang Lai about the new babysitter in the hospital corridor, letting go of his worries, and his expression was rarely relaxed in recent days.

Jiang Lai looked sideways at the back of the girl who was learning how to use a wheelchair with the nurse sister, and frowned slightly, "It's almost Chinese New Year, isn't she going home? Isn't it a liar?"

Jiang Lai was a little unconvinced. Now that everyone is pursuing money interests, it is impossible for there to be people who just want to eat without talking about wages.

"She," Xue Man deliberately lowered her voice and approached Jiang Lai, "she ran away from home secretly, why didn't she tell her life and death, but I can more or less guess."

"Why?" Jiang Lai asked.

"Why else, no book to study and stay at home as free labor, which young man can bear it." Xue Man frowned, "We are in trouble, and she is also in trouble, just treat it as a needy person helping a needy person, wait for this paragraph As time goes by, I really can't find a more suitable helper recently."

Jiang Lai understood what Xue Man meant, and he didn't seem to have any reason to insist on not wanting Chi Xiaohong. Although he felt that it was unreliable, he reluctantly agreed.

Bei Xiaowu calls Chi Xiaohong Miss Xiaohong.He was afraid that it would be difficult for Xue Man to get along with an older aunt, but he didn't expect that she was a sweet-looking young lady in rustic clothes, and he immediately fell in love with her, and felt that talking and doing things would be more convenient.

Mrs. You was pushed in a wheelchair, bid farewell to the hospital where she had been unconscious for more than ten days, and returned to the old courtyard house in Shuangjiao Hutong with a dull expression.

During the time she was in the hospital, it snowed intermittently. The snow cleared and accumulated, and the yard was muddy and messy.The old courtyard house has always been clean and tidy, and it suddenly became loose without the master.

Although Mrs. You had difficulty moving, let alone speaking, she saw everything in her eyes, kept everything in her heart, and secretly tortured herself over and over again.

Old neighbors came to visit one after another, sighing and helping to clean the courtyard and put the beds back.Especially the old sisters who played mahjong with Mrs. You, tears were shining, and they were giving food and chicken.

Sherman put all his energy out, forced a smile, treated people politely, and accepted greetings from neighbors wave after wave.Although she has nothing to do with the old Bei's family legally, as long as there is a gate between the two courtyard walls, she feels that they are a family.
