in the river island

The early morning sunlight shone into the room through the cracks in the curtains, and the rapid bell rang. Yu Zhou struggled under the quilt, felt the arms on his waist move, and when his mind was awakened by the blur, Lu Zaihe had already picked up the phone.

"Xiaoyu, your phone number." Lu Zaihe glanced at the incoming call, it was an unfamiliar number.

Yu Zhou opened his eyes and reached out to reach.

"Turn on the speakerphone and I'll pick it up for you?" Lu Zaihe said.

Yu Zhou nodded, moved his neck, and pressed the quilt under his chin.

Lu Zaihe connected the phone, and a male voice came out from the receiver.

"Hello? Is it Mr. Yu Guowen's family?" A thick male voice asked.

"Yes." Lu Zaihe sat up, leaning his back on the cushion.

"Well, hello, I'm from the Qinghe Police Station. Do you have time to come to the police station for follow-up consultations on the accident? You need to bring the deceased's death certificate and the hospital payment list. If there are records for the funeral expenses, you can also include them." Bring, the main responsible party has already contacted the insurance company, and their willingness is still to conduct a compensation negotiation.”

Hearing this, Lu Zaihe looked at Yu Zhou, who was already awake, sat up and nodded slightly to Lu Zaihe.

"Okay, what time is it?"

"Are you free this afternoon? The family members of the other injured are also here."

Looking at Yu Zhou again, Yu Zhou nodded again, and Lu Zaihe responded, "Yes."

"Then come over around three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Ok."

Lu Zaihe hung up the phone, Yu Zhou was no longer sleepy, he was sitting upright, Lu Zaihe returned the phone to him.

"Sleep a little longer? It's still early." Lu Zaihe slept too late, he didn't get enough sleep at all, Yu Zhou added up and down, he slept almost all day, and he couldn't fall asleep.

Lu Zaihe lay down on his back, watching Yu Zhou struggle for a while and took out his mobile phone to edit text messages.After Ye Min knew that the responsibility had been determined, he always wanted to know about the compensation, but at that time Yu Guowen was about to go to the funeral, and one of the drivers was injured and was not discharged from the hospital, so they couldn't negotiate, so the two went back to their hometown to deal with the funeral. Yu Zhou felt that it was necessary to talk to Yu Qingyao and Ye Minzhi.

Seeing him frowning and bowing his head while typing, Lu Zaihe asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Zhou took the half-typed words on the text message interface to Lu Zaihe.

"Don't worry, it won't be too late to send it after it's confirmed." Lu Zaihe said, "I'll go and have a look this afternoon and talk about the compensation."

Yu Zhou thought about it, yes, anyway, he had to go to the police station in the afternoon, so he was not in a hurry.

Yu Zhou put down the phone and turned off the screen.

"Go back to sleep." Lu Zaihe put his arms around Yu Zhou's waist, and Yu Zhou shook his head.

——I’m going to make porridge, you go to sleep, you can drink it when you wake up, I can’t sleep now

Lu Zaihe cheated, selectively ignoring the words on Yu Zhou's screen. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhou was like a fish, he arched out of Lu Zaihe's arms, got out of bed, put on his shoes and left.

His arms were emptied in an instant, Lu Zaihe looked at the empty arms and Yu Zhouyuan's walking back and laughed dumbfoundedly.

It doesn't take much effort to cook porridge. Yu Zhou brought a lot of dry goods this time, and it happens to be able to cook porridge. Lu Zaihe just doesn't eat shrimp, but other seafood is still edible. Soak small dried sea cucumbers, blanch squid and slice them, mix them Cook porridge with shiitake mushrooms and scallops. Yu Zhou searched the kitchen for a while, but he didn’t see lard, so he had to skip it. He added some salt to taste, and threw all the ingredients into the rice cooker. Yu Zhou set the time and looked around. Look, I decided to add some cucumber and eggplant as a side dish.

After Lu Zaihe was woken up, it was not easy to fall asleep. He struggled on the bed for 10 to [-] minutes, but he still got up. After washing, he went to the kitchen to take a look. The rice cooker had started to emit heat.

The divided bags hadn't been cleaned up yet, and they were placed around on the cooking table. Lu Zaihe glanced at them and said, "Seafood porridge?"

Yu Zhou nodded, threw the chopped green onion, ginger, garlic and dried chili on the cold salad, and boiled some hot oil.

"What do you want to fry?" Lu Zaihe washed the cup and took two cups of warm water. When he turned around, Yu Zhou turned off the fire and picked up the pot. He quickly poured hot oil on the seasoning. When splashed in a bowl, the aroma of dry ingredients bursts out instantly.

Lu Zaihe's only culinary knowledge is not enough to make him so well-informed, he showed a look of astonishment, raised his eyebrows slightly, when Yu Zhou held the pot and glanced over with a little complacent eyes, he clearly saw Behind Yu Zhou is the tip of the tail that doesn't really exist but is wagging happily.

"Excellent." Lu Zaihe was not a partner who was stingy with praise, he gave a thumbs up in the next second, and Yu Zhou smiled, looking more complacent.

Without going to work, Lu Zaihe naturally became Yu Zhou's exclusive driver for travel. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the police station on time. The family members of the injured had already arrived. They were arranged by the police into the mediation room. The truck driver and the insurance company Sitting together, Yu Zhou recognized another van driver. He was sitting next to the policeman, the bandage on his arm was still on, and he didn't look up with depressed eyes.

Yu Zhou and Lu Zaihe found an adjacent seat to sit down, and people came one after another from behind. The police moved a few stools, and distributed a written document of responsibility for the accident to the three of them, and the neighbors squeezed to read up.

The main cause of the accident was that the brake system of the truck failed and the operation was out of control. The truck manufacturer also sent a representative. The man in suit and leather shoes first stood up and bowed to everyone to apologize, and then announced the compensation. In order to preserve the reputation of the company, the other party was I came here with sincerity. The amount of the insurance company’s claim plus the amount of compensation given by the manufacturer’s representative was a satisfactory figure for the family members present. The more difficult issue was the compensation for the deceased Yu Guowen and the van driver. The van driver Both the fault party and the victim party, he was hit while driving normally, but the fact that the driver drove an illegal car and overloaded to solicit passengers is undeniable.

The driver begged the passengers in the same car to provide testimonies, which could prove that Yu Guowen's death had a lot to do with his refusal to wear a seat belt. Guowen was responsible for his death, and at the same time was subject to administrative punishment.

The man had a lot of vicissitudes than Yu Zhou when he met in the hospital. His insurance had not been renewed when it expired, and the compensation for the injured in the car and Yu Guowen could only be borne by himself.

He has no doubts about the compensation given by the police, but repeatedly pleads not to revoke his driver's license, which he still has to make a living from.

After negotiating for nearly two hours, the insurance company and the truck manufacturer can pay 15 in one lump sum, and the van driver needs to pay another [-] in compensation. Considering his family conditions and actual situation, it is uncertain how long it will take for the [-] to be paid. .

Yu Zhou didn't express any opinions during the whole process, but Lu Zaihe asked some specific questions about the follow-up compensation. The family members of the injured who got satisfactory results left the mediation room one after another. Yu Zhou also stood up, and Lu Zaihe walked out behind him. After being bored for two hours during the mediation, Yu Zhou finally breathed fresh air.

He took a deep breath, not knowing what to think.

So Yu Guowen, who loves money, has never earned much money in his life, and the largest fortune in his life is the compensation after his death.

"You go and wait for me in the car, I'll buy a drink." Lu Zaihe handed the car keys to Yu Zhou, Yu Zhou nodded, and walked to the parking place, but he didn't go up and sit down, but squatted beside the car and gave it to him. Yu Qingyao sent a message.

After notifying the exact amount and the general situation, Yu Zhou asked for Yu Qingyao's passbook card number. When he exited, he saw the message message with Ye Min and clicked to delete it.

Yu Zhou thought a lot in the mediation room, and the only conclusion he came to was that the money should never be handed over to Ye Min.

How Yu Qingyao handles the money is his business, and it is understandable that he wants to give it to Ye Min, but if the money is given to Ye Min alone, Yu Zhou is afraid that she will get the money and he will not want to support the elders.

After the matter of compensation was settled, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Yu Zhou exhaled a long breath, and leaned back on the car with all his strength.

"Fortunately, I just washed the car." Lu Zaihe took two bottles of drinks and walked to Yu Zhou's side, squatting down with him.

"Why don't you go up and sit and wait?"

Yu Zhou took the drink and turned his head to look at Lu Zaihe.

No matter how superb the consolation skills are, it is more powerful without company. Yu Zhou doesn't know how to thank Lu Zaihe. He really accompanied Yu Zhou through too many difficult times.

Language may not be able to fully express, not to mention Yu Zhou can't express his thanks in words.

Lu Zaihe couldn't avoid the bright sight, so Lu Zaihe put iced soda on Yuzhou's forehead, the sun came out today, and the temperature picked up again.

Lu Zaihe looked at him with a smile and said, "Why do you look pitiful?"

Feeling a slight thrust from his arm, Yu Zhou leaned sideways and brought his face closer, he opened his eyes and gently kissed Lu Zaihe's lips.

In the narrow corner between the two cars, Yu Zhou grabbed Lu Zaihe's clothes corner, he smiled clearly, the smile melted into his eyes, and Lu Zaihe saw himself clearly in Yuzhou's pupils.
