in the car.
Li Qian saw Yu Jin hang up the phone and asked, "What did Mu Qing tell you?"
"nothing."
Yu Jin explained: "We made an appointment to meet after the exam, but now I left early. She didn't see me, so she called me to ask."
"oh."
The old lady's accident had a great impact on Yu Jin.
Seeing that her son was reluctant to talk, she stopped looking for a topic.
It was quiet in the car.
Yu Jin continued to look out the car window in a daze, her eyes sad, recalling the days when she was with her grandma.
He didn't know that not far behind him, a yellow Ferrari taxi was following closely behind.
In the taxi, Jiang Muqing looked anxious, urging the master to hurry up and hurry up from time to time.
She not only wanted to see her grandma for the last time, but also wanted to be with Yu Jin for the first time.
He must be very sad at this time.
Jiang Muqing suddenly complained about herself.
I have finished my English test paper early tomorrow, and I can hand it in ten minutes early...
Why do you have to wait until the end!
As long as he was ten minutes early, he could meet Yu Jin and accompany him to Kui County.
The taxi driver also looked at Jiang Muqing, who was still a student behind him, through the rearview mirror from time to time.
It seemed like she had something urgent to do.
But for a student, this is the first time he has seen such a situation for 2,000 yuan without even mentioning the price.
At this price, even an adult would probably not be like this.
When he said 2,000, he just shouted a little, thinking that the other party would bargain. He expected the bottom line to be around 1,500.
After all, the journey from Jianghuai City to Kuixian County is almost 800 kilometers, and the total cost of gas and tolls is 1,000.
It’s not too much to earn 500 yuan by driving for more than 8 hours by yourself.
But whoever thought of the other party didn't negotiate the price at all, so he made 1,000 yuan directly.
This actually made the master suddenly feel a little sorry.
He took the initiative and asked: "Girl, I see you are in such a hurry. What happened?"
"The elders in the family are dying."
Jiang Muqing said anxiously: "So, master, hurry up if you can. The speeding fine will be on me."
This is not Jiang Muqing's boldness.
But Jiang Muqing was not a normal student to begin with, her mental age was actually that of an adult.
For an adult, in her subconscious mind, she would dare to agree to such an emergency, let alone 2,000 yuan, or even 5,000 yuan.
As for whether she has so much money on her, it doesn't matter.
Get your things done first. When you get to your destination, call your dad and that's it.
Their family is not rich, but they still have a few thousand yuan.
Originally, the master felt a little sorry that he had earned so much money from a student.
Now that he heard that the other person was an elder in the family who was about to die, and rushed to see him for the last time, he felt even more guilty.
Aren't you taking advantage of others' danger?
Or a female student who was bullied.
After hesitating for a moment, the taxi driver said: "Girl, when we get here, just give me 1,500 yuan, not 2,000."
"Thank you, master."
Jiang Muqing expressed her gratitude, and then said, "Master, can I borrow your phone again?
I don't have that much money with me, so I'll ask my family to send the money to you. "
"." Taxi driver.
Jiang Muqing took the taxi driver's call and called her father.
"Hey dad, it's me."
Jiang Yan, who was on the other side of the phone, looked at the unfamiliar phone number, heard his daughter's voice, and asked with some concern: "You've finished the exam, why haven't you come back yet? You're still using a stranger's phone number."
"Dad, I have something to do and I probably won't be able to come back."
Jiang Muqing said: "You can transfer 1,500 yuan to me. I need it urgently."
"What happened to you? You still want so much money!"
When Jiang Yan heard that something was wrong, his heart suddenly lifted, and he quickly asked: "Where is Yu Jin? Isn't he with you?"
"No."
Jiang Muqing replied: "I am chasing him right now."
"Tell me first what happened."
Jiang Muqing explained: "Yu Jin's grandma was dying, so she went directly to Kui County after finishing the exam.
I am also rushing to Kui County now. I hired a taxi and the fare was 1,500 yuan. "
"no problem."
Jiang Yan asked: "Where will you transfer the money?"
"Dad, wait a minute, let me ask."
Jiang Muqing said to the taxi driver: "Master, what is your WeChat ID? I'll ask my dad to transfer it to you."
"My WeChat ID is my mobile phone number. Just ask your dad to add him as a friend."
"OK."
Jiang Muqing said into the phone: "Dad, did you hear me?"
"I heard you, I'll turn around right away."
Jiang Yan warned: "Please pay attention to safety on the road, and let me know when you get there."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Muqing returned the phone to the master and said, "My dad will transfer the fare to you later."
"Not urgent."
The taxi driver took back his phone and speeded up silently.
It's time to show off your real skills!
Zhang Huifang looked at her husband at home and asked in confusion: "What happened? What did my daughter say to you on the phone?"
"Mu Qing went to Kui County alone."
Jiang Yan sighed and said, "Yu Jin's grandma suddenly died. Yu Jin rushed back after taking the exam, and Mu Qing chased after her."
"how so."
Zhang Huifang sighed and said: "I heard from Mu Qing that Yu Jin's child has the best relationship with his grandmother. Now that he has just finished the exam, he must feel very uncomfortable when he hears such bad news."
"Fortunately, I didn't know the news until the college entrance examination was over."
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "If this happened before the college entrance examination, it would probably have a big impact on Yu Jin."
"How could such a coincidence happen? His family must have been hiding it from Yu Jin, and they deliberately waited until he finished the college entrance examination before telling him."
Zhang Huifang asked tentatively: "Husband, I'm thinking, after Grandma Yu Jin passes away, should we go to express condolences?"
"Let's go?"
Jiang Yan thought for a while and said: "How do we go? In what capacity?
Although the two children are together, it is only in the early stages of their relationship. Our parents have not yet met, and the marriage has not been finalized yet.
Isn't it not good to meet unexpectedly at your door now, or something like this?
What if their family doesn't accept our daughter? "
Hearing what Jiang Yan said, Zhang Huifang seemed to think it made sense.
Jiang Yan said: "Let my daughter go. It makes more sense for her to go. After all, she is Yu Jin's girlfriend now."
"Um."
"Also, you go pack some of your daughter's clothes and mail them to her tomorrow. I don't think she will be able to come back for a while."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
…
In Kui County, in the old man's room, the old man had his eyes closed and his breathing was very weak.
The doctor stood aside, paying attention to the old lady's condition at all times and preparing for rescue.
In fact, both he and the people in the room knew very well that the doctor was just here to show off.
Because the doctor can't do anything anymore, how long the old lady can live depends on how long her own willpower can support it.
Yu Donglai sat next to the old lady, silent.
Li Wei would occasionally go out and call his sister Li Qian and Yu Yao outside to ask where they were.
Then, he would come back and speak in Yu Donglai's ear.
It was not until around 7 o'clock in the evening that Yu Jin and Li Qian finally arrived.
After getting off the car, Yu Jin ran towards the old man's house in a sprint of 100 meters, with Li Qian following behind.
As soon as he pushed open the small courtyard, Yu Jin saw his uncle Li Wei who was already waiting for him at the door.
"You are finally here, go quickly."
Yu Jin entered the house and quickly came to the old man's bedroom.
He looked at his grandma lying on the bed with a ventilator on her face and transfusions, and felt extremely sad.
"Dad, grandma, she..."
"You talk to your grandma, she will be waiting for you."
Yu Donglai's face looked haggard. After speaking, he stood up, gave up his position, and retreated.
Seeing this, the others quietly retreated, leaving their place to Yu Jin and the old man.
Yu Jin sat on the edge of the bed with a sore nose.
He held the old man's frail hand with both hands and shouted softly: "Grandma, I'm little Yu Jin, I'm here."
The dying old man seemed to hear Yu Jin's voice, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Although she was already very weak, she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said weakly: "Little Yu Jin, are you here?"
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why is this happening."
Yu Jin's voice was choked up as she said, "Didn't we all do well yesterday? Didn't I tell you that I would come to accompany you after the exam?"
"Grandma is sick."
The old man said weakly: "I thought I could stay with you for the last time, but grandma's body really can't hold it anymore."
"It's okay, grandma. If you are sick, we will treat you."
Yu Jin said sadly: "Now that the medical level is so high, you will definitely be cured."
The old man shook his head slightly.
"It's useless, grandma knows about grandma's body."
The old man squeezed Yu Jin's hand and said, "Little Yu Jin, grandma has no regrets if she can see you at the end.
You have to promise grandma not to be too sad after grandma leaves, okay? "
Outside the house, Yu Donglai looked at the old man whose mental state suddenly improved, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.
He asked the doctor next to him: "Old lady, she..."
But the doctor shook his head and said directly: "This is the old man's last moment of recovery."
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Donglai, Li Wei, and Li Qian who arrived behind all turned pale.
The last bit of miracle is gone.
Because before every old man dies, he suddenly wakes up and becomes mentally better for a while.
Among the people, this phenomenon is commonly known as "returning to light". The human body is burning the last bit of vitality in its body.
Facing the old man's request, Yu Jin nodded repeatedly with red eyes.
"Where's Mu Qing?"
The old man looked at the air behind Yu Jin and asked, "Didn't she come?"
"Grandma, I came at the right time. She was still taking exams."
When the old man heard this, there was some regret in his eyes. She also wanted to see the child and talk to her.
But she knew she didn't have time.
At this time, suddenly a voice came from outside: "Grandma, grandma, I'm here."
Everyone in the room was a little surprised when they saw Jiang Muqing suddenly appeared.
For the first time, Jiang Muqing rudely ignored the others and ran directly to the bedroom and came to Yu Jin's side.
When the old man saw Jiang Muqing, she looked happy and said, "Yu Jin, please go out. I have something to talk to Mu Qing alone."
"oh."
Although Yu Jin was very reluctant to leave, she still went out obediently.
"Grandma." Jiang Muqing called.
Unlike Yu Jin, when she saw the old man's weak appearance, tears welled up in her eyes and rolled out immediately.
"Don't cry."
The old man stretched out his hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears on Jiang Muqing's face, and said, "After grandma leaves, little Yu Jin will take care of you."
"I will, I will."
Jiang Muqing nodded and agreed: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yu Jin."
"You are a good boy. It is a blessing for our little Yu Jin to meet you, so I can leave with peace of mind."
The old man smiled with satisfaction, and his energy began to weaken visibly.
Seeing this, Jiang Muqing quickly turned around and shouted in a tearful voice: "Yu Jin, Yu Jin, come quickly."
Yu Jin heard the sound and came in immediately.
Everyone else also came.
Yu Jin squatted beside the bed, holding her grandma's other hand, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Grandma, grandma, don't sleep, come and talk to me."
"mom!"
"old lady!"
The old man ignored everyone, or she could no longer hear what others were saying.
A lifetime of past flashed through her mind quickly, like a marquee.
Finally, she looked at the night outside the window, her eyes began to blur, her nerves became blurred, and she stretched one hand into the air.
The old man murmured: "Old man, come pick me up."
A second later, the hand in the air suddenly dropped.
The instrument at the bedside also made a beeping sound instantly.
The old man closed his eyes forever.
There was a smile on her face, as if she was very happy.
"Grandma!" Jiang Muqing cried directly.
While feeling sad, she immediately thought of Yu Jin.
Turning around, she saw Yu Jin leaning over the bed, staring at the old man, her face pale, her hands trembling slightly uncontrollably.
"Yu Jin..."
Jiang Muqing shouted in a low voice, then reached out and gently held his trembling hand.
"mom."
After reacting, Li Qian covered her mouth and cried softly.
Yu Donglai and Li Wei stood silent behind him...
The doctor held a pen on the side and recorded the time of the old man's death.
At this time, Yu Yao's family, who were hurrying slowly, also arrived, but they were still a step too late and did not see the old man for the last time.
Li Ping looked unhappy and asked Yu Donglai: "Brother, the old lady..."
"left already."
"."
Yu Yao on the side suddenly staggered, but luckily she was supported by Li Ping.
Although she hated the old lady's partiality, she still hoped from the bottom of her heart that the old lady would always be healthy and live a long life.
The only one who is not sad now is probably Li Jiale.
He didn't know what happened. He just looked at the old man with his eyes closed on the bed and asked doubtfully: "Mom, grandma is sick. Is she asleep?"
"Well, grandma is sleeping."
Yu Yao's eyes turned red and she said, "Let's not disturb grandma."
"oh."
Li Jiale suddenly said in a low voice: "Then when I watch cartoons later, please keep your voice down, in case grandma comes to deal with me again."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Yao couldn't hold back anymore and started crying.
When Li Jiale saw this, he quickly said: "Mom, don't cry. Is it because of me that grandma is being cruel to you again?"
"Jia Le."
Li Ping put his arms around his son and said, "Your grandma will never scold mom again."
"Why?"
"Because mom's mom is gone."
Li Jiale didn't understand what it meant. He broke away from his father's hand and ran to Jiang Muqing's side.
He asked in a sweet voice, "Sister Mu Qing, why are you crying too?"
Jiang Muqing turned back, wiped the tears on her face, and sobbed: "Jia Le, grandma has also become a star in the sky."
This time, Jiale understood.
Why did my mother cry, why did my aunt cry, why did sister Mu Qing cry, and why did my cousin lower his head and say nothing.
Grandma is gone, just like the good friend he used to be.
At this moment, the young Li Jiale suddenly felt a little sad.
