"Brother-in-law, the old lady is dying."
Yu Donglai's expression suddenly changed when he heard Li Wei's deep voice.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him!
He calmed himself down and asked, "What's going on?"
"One sentence, two sentences, I can't explain it clearly on the phone."
"Just wait, I'll be right back."
"By the way, brother-in-law, don't let your sister know about this for now."
Li Wei reminded: "My sister can't hide things. Once she knows, Yu Jin will definitely know.
You also know that Yu Jin is taking the college entrance examination..."
"good."
Yu Donglai hung up the phone, took a deep breath, turned and walked back to the living room.
Li Qian asked with a smile: "You can't let me know what you talked about with my brother."
"Work stuff."
As Yu Donglai changed his clothes, he pretended to be calm and said, "I have something to do at the moment. I have to go out tonight. You don't have to wait for me to go to bed."
"Where to go? In such a hurry?"
Li Qian asked: "Can't you push it back?"
"No, please help me say sorry to my son."
After saying that, Yu Donglai hurriedly walked out.
Li Qian shouted: "You haven't got your bag yet."
"No."
Hearing the slamming of the door, Li Qian's original good mood suddenly disappeared.
Something must have happened to Li Wei and Yu Donglai to be so anxious.
But I can't help them with their work matters.
As Yu Donglai walked, he called the driver at the unit.
"Lao Cai, are you asleep?"
In a certain room, a middle-aged man sat up from the bed and replied: "Yuchan, not yet."
"Excuse me, pick me up downstairs at my house and run somewhere."
Yu Donglai added: "Lao Cai, this is a private matter, you can refuse."
"No no."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Since it's a private matter, I won't drive the car owned by my employer. I'll drive my own car."
"good."
"Yuchan, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon."
With that said, after he hung up the phone, he got up and quickly put it on.
The woman next to her looked displeased and complained: "The leader of your unit doesn't treat people as human beings, right? He's still asking you to drive a sports car in the middle of the night."
"What do you know!"
Cai Wenbin retorted: "Do you know how many people want to be called by him in the middle of the night?
Such a good opportunity is not available to others if they want it. "
Cai Wenbin has been driving in the Procuratorate for many years, and he is very knowledgeable in people.
On the phone just now, he could tell that Yu Donglai was a little anxious.
So he went out as quickly as possible, got into his car, and then fought all the way to the gate of the procuratorate's community.
"Yuchan, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Cai Wenbin was about to get out of the car and open the door for Yu Donglai. Yu Donglai opened the door himself and sat in the back seat.
"Lao Cai, go to Kui County."
Yu Donglai said: "On the premise of ensuring safety, try to be as fast as possible."
"Okay, I understand Yu Check."
After leaving the city and getting onto the expressway, Cai Wenbin was riding fast.
Yu Donglai sat in the back, eyes closed, silent.
Cai Wenbin didn't know what happened, but at this time, he knew that he should stay quiet and not talk too much.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat depressing.
Halfway there, Yu Donglai said, "Does your car have a song?"
"Yes, Yu Qian."
Cai Wenbin asked, "I wonder what Yu Jian wants to hear? I'll play it for you."
"Just play some soothing music."
Yu Donglai said: "Please pay attention to your own safety. I'll take a nap for a while. Call me when you get there."
"Okay, Yu check."
The four-and-a-half-hour drive was made an hour ahead of schedule thanks to Cai Wenbin’s efforts.
In order to rush for time, he speeded in several places.
But it does not matter.
He has a way to "legalize" speeding.
This is a society based on the rule of law, but it is also a society based on human feelings. There are people outside the law, which is not something to be said casually.
After getting off the highway, Cai Wenbin didn't know where to drive, so he could only wake up Yu Donglai.
"Yuchan?"
Yu Donglai heard the sound, rubbed his forehead, looked at the night view outside the window, and asked, "Are you here?"
"Well, I just got off the highway."
"Take Binjiang Road."
"good."
After driving on Binjiang Road for 10 minutes, Yu Donglai continued to direct: "Turn right and enter the next community."
"OK."
Cai Wenbin took a look and remembered the name and place of the community deeply.
After getting off the car, Yu Donglai said gratefully: "Lao Cai, I'm sorry to trouble you tonight."
"No, Yu Jian, you're too polite."
Cai Wenbin asked tentatively: "So Yu Cha, should I wait for you in the car, or should I pick you up tomorrow morning?"
"Go out and find a hotel to rest, have a good sleep, and then go back and have a day off."
Yu Donglai said: "If anyone asks, just say that I agreed."
Cai Wenbin originally wanted to say no, but after Yu Dong finished speaking, he turned around and walked inside.
Very anxious.
Cai Wenbin stood there for a while, then drove away, preparing to find a place to sleep.
He concentrated hard and drove fast all night, and now he was really tired.
Yu Donglai came to the house, opened the door of the small courtyard, and walked in by himself.
In the living room, he saw Li Wei sitting on the sofa and dozing off.
In order to keep an eye on the old lady, Li Wei had not slept well for several days.
At the same time, Li Wei was also surprised by Yu Donglai's arrival.
He looked at Yu Donglai, stood up quickly, and shouted: "Brother-in-law."
"Mom, how's it going?"
"The doctor just left after administering the painkiller."
Li Wei said: "The old lady is asleep now."
Yu Donglai quickly came to the bedroom door, looked at the old man who was already on a ventilator, and asked, "What's going on!"
"The old lady actually got sick a long time ago and has been taking medicine, but she has been hiding it from everyone."
Li Wei replied: "I only found out about this when the old lady called me a few days ago."
"Why not send it to the hospital?"
"The old lady refused."
Li Wei smiled bitterly and said: "You also know her temper, she is very stubborn, just like Yu Jin.
I had to persuade her for a long time before she agreed to use this ventilator. "
Coming to the living room, Yu Donglai asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"There is no way to save her. Now the old lady is holding on with just one breath. She may leave at any time."
Li Wei sighed: "Brother-in-law, I think the old lady is waiting for Yu Jin to finish her exam to see him for the last time."
"You should have told me days ago!"
Yu Donglai looked at Li Wei angrily: "My mother asked you not to say it, so you won't say it?
You are already in your thirties after all, so don’t you know what’s important? "
"." Li Wei was silent.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he has been stared at by the old lady before and was not given a chance at all.
But he made no excuses.
Now that he understands his brother-in-law's mood, let him vent, maybe it will be better.
Sure enough, after Yu Donglai cursed Li Wei in a low voice, he sat on the sofa and calmed down.
After a moment, he said sadly: "You know a lot of people below, you should find someone to start preparing for my mother's funeral.
By the way, please contact me. As soon as the college entrance examination ends tomorrow afternoon, I will pick up your sister and Yu Jin as soon as possible.
Mom, I'm here to guard you. "
"Okay brother-in-law, I'll do it right away."
After Li Wei left, Yu Donglai quietly came to the bedroom alone, moved a bench, and sat quietly.
Perhaps he felt his son coming, and the old man, who had not slept for a while, woke up.
She opened her eyes.
When Yu Donglai saw this, he quickly shouted softly: "Mom."
The old man pointed to his respirator mask, as if he had something to say.
Yu Dong came to help take it down.
The old man looked at his son and said weakly: "You are here."
"Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
But the old man said: "Don't scold Li Wei about this, I didn't let him say it.
I thought I could survive it, but I couldn't. Your dad was calling me. "
"mom."
Yu Donglai said sadly: "Yu Jin will finish the exam in one day, you have to hold on."
"While I'm still awake, I'll explain the matter to you first."
She said: "I am not allowed to be cremated after my death. I will be sent back to my hometown for burial. I will be buried with your father. The location has been reserved long ago, and then a monument will be erected."
"good."
The old man is out of breath every time he speaks a word now and needs to slow down for a while.
"In the photo album in my drawer, I left a letter for Yu Jin. After I leave, you can hand it to him for me."
"Okay, Mom."
"And my cat, that girl Jiang Muqing gave it to me. After I leave, remember to take it back and help me raise it."
"good."
"Finally, if little Yu Jin really gets the top prize in the city, please remember to ask him to come to my grave and tell me and his grandfather."
"I'll definitely tell him."
"And you."
The old man reached out to hold his son's hand, but he couldn't lift it.
Seeing this, Yu Donglai quickly stretched out his hand to hold it.
The old man felt his son's palm and said: "Coming from the east, the official can become bigger and bigger, but the heart cannot become smaller and smaller.
You don't have to be an upright official, but you have to be a good official and take care of the injustices you encounter. "
"I see."
Yu Donglai said worriedly: "Mom, please stop talking and have a good rest."
"And you promise me, my little Yu Jin, he will make his own decisions in the future of his life.
Don't interfere and plan the life you want for him, you know? "
"I see."
Yu Donglai promised: "Yu Jin can do whatever he wants from now on. As long as he doesn't commit crimes or violate laws and disciplines, Li Qian and I won't care about him."
"Okay." The old man nodded slightly and closed his eyes.
After talking for so long and so much in one breath, she couldn't hold it anymore and needed to rest.
Yu Donglai looked at the old man with his eyes closed, terrified.
If he hadn't seen that the instrument on the bedside was still on, showing signs of life, he would have thought that the old man was gone.
…
The next morning, Yu Jin got up and didn't see Yu Donglai, only her mother.
He wondered: "Where's my dad?"
"Your dad has something to do at work and is on a business trip. He asked me to say sorry to you and can't accompany you anymore."
"There's nothing to be sorry for."
After Yu Jin finished washing up and had breakfast, she said, "I plan to stay at grandma's house for a while after finishing the exam until the results of the college entrance examination come out."
"sure, no problem."
"Also, I won't be back for lunch today."
Yu Jin explained: "Jiang Muqing and I plan to eat something outside the school, and then find a room to sleep in so as not to have the trouble of running home."
"Alright."
After eating and going out, Li Qian encouraged: "Come on!"
At the same time, Jiang Muqing also walked out of the door with the encouragement of her parents.
The two met at the usual place, first reminded each other whether they had their admission tickets and their identities, and then took a car together to the exam location.
It is still a free love taxi.
I took the comprehensive science exam.
Yu Jin sat up, but it was still easy and easy. Even after checking it over, she still sat still in her seat.
He was wondering whether Jiang Muqing would have difficulty doing this set of test papers.
She tends to have problems with those questions.
When he leaves the examination room, he only needs to ask her these questions to know what score she will get.
Because he did it quickly and then kept looking out the window in a daze, the teacher who invigilated the exam thought he was a scumbag and gave up halfway through.
He had read some of the comprehensive science test papers this time when he was inspecting the classroom just now.
Compared with mathematics, this set of questions is difficult for students with average grades.
In another classroom, Jiang Muqing was lowering her head, seizing the time to write quickly and calculating quickly on the straw paper.
This question is more difficult than the real questions from previous years.
But thanks to Yu Jin's usual practice of increasing the intensity, she felt that she could still do it.
The exam bell rings.
The candidates walked out of the examination room. This time, there were a lot less smiles on everyone's faces. Most of them were frowning, complaining that this year's comprehensive examination was really difficult.
Yu Jin waited for Jiang Muqing and asked, "Is it done?"
"It's done."
Jiang Muqing said worriedly: "But I didn't have enough time. I didn't have time to check it again. I don't know if there are many mistakes."
"Then let me ask a few questions. If they are all correct, then you won't have a big problem."
"You ask."
The two talked while walking, and after a while of correcting the answers, Jiang Muqing got 2 wrong.
"It's over, it's over."
Jiang Muqing said sadly: "I must have done very poorly in the comprehensive science exam this time."
"Don't scare yourself."
Yu Jin smiled and comforted: "What if you are only wrong about these two?"
"How can it be."
Jiang Muqing pouted and said: "Forget it, don't think about this anymore, let's go eat.
After eating, we took the time to take a nap.
In the afternoon English test, I will try to get back all the points I lost in Science and Comprehensive Science! "
"good."
While eating, Jiang Muqing suddenly asked with a smile: "When we open a room to sleep at noon, do we want one bed or two beds?"
"Two beds of course!"
"What a waste."
Jiang Muqing shook her head and said: "The bed resources are so tight now, why not leave the standard room to other students, and let's squeeze in a bit of humiliation."
"no."
"Why?"
Yu Jin rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly: "Do you think I can still sleep like this?"
"Hahaha, it seems that's what you said."
Jiang Muqing said happily: "In that case, I probably won't be able to sleep."
