In the corridors of the hospital, there was a strong smell of medical alcohol mixed with the familiar milky fragrance of Aunt Gu.

Xu Wenjun was squatting, and Aunt Gu's soft body was completely leaning against Xu Wenjun's body.

Wu Ma left today.

This was like a bolt from the blue to Aunt Gu.

Aunt Gu stayed in her arms, saying nothing and feeling emotionless. She kept crying, her voice was intermittent,

"Wenjun... is gone... she is gone... I... I don't want to lose her... nor do I want to lose...

..I don’t want to have nothing…”

Xu Wenjun silently patted Aunt Gu on the back. He didn't know how to respond, so he whispered softly, "You have me, you have me... I don't know. In the end, his eye circles were red, and he could only sigh."

I don’t know how long Aunt Gu cried. Xu Wenjun kept squatting. Because Aunt Gu’s entire body weight was on Xu Wenjun’s body, Xu Wenjun’s legs were numb from squatting.

Aunt Gu finally fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

Xu Wenjun gently supported Aunt Gu's back with his hands, then switched his legs, and then staggered, and hugged Aunt Gu steadily.

Back in the ward, Xu Wenjun slowly and steadily put Aunt Gu on the bed, sat next to him, looked at her carefully for a while, sighed, went to the bathroom to get a towel, and soaked it in hot water.

, the hot towel gently rubbed the red and swollen corners of Aunt Gu’s eyes,

Ringing... Xu Wenjun was startled. He forgot to turn his phone on silent, so he quickly hung up. Then he hurried out of the door and called back, "Hey, Mumu, um. I'm here. Don't worry, um."

Well, come back slowly and pay attention to safety, Aunt Gu...is asleep for now."

Listening to the crying, intermittent inquiries and concerns, the Mumu family hurried back.

Said, take care of Aunt Gu, they should arrive at noon tomorrow.

I hung up the phone, walked to the window of the hospital, smoked a cigarette, looked at the various vehicles vaguely passing by on the road, and rubbed my sore eyes. It was like this during the New Year. The originally noisy streets became empty.

Just like Aunt Gu's heart, it feels like a piece of it has been poached away during this Spring Festival.

"Hey, Mom, I can't go home tonight. Well, I suddenly have something urgent. Maybe tomorrow. I understand. Please help me say hello to grandma and the others..."

After calming down, Xu Wenjun finished handling the calls that needed to be made and answered, briefly replied to everyone's New Year's greetings, and then returned to the ward.

Aunt Gu was on the bed with her eyes tightly closed. The ward was quiet, and Xu Wenjun sat beside her silently.

an hour...

Two hours...

Suddenly, Aunt Gu's eyelashes fluttered, her eyes opened, and she blinked a little, maybe even before her head could react. Instinctively, a few tears fell down the corners of her eyes,

Xu Wenjun hurriedly went to wipe her, but Aunt Gu suddenly seemed to have fallen asleep. She stretched out her hand and held Xu Wenjun's wrist. Tears were still flowing from the corners of her eyes. She said numbly, her voice a little soft and a little sad, "

Will you... also abandon me?"

Snap, snap, snap.

Xu Wenjun was excited, quickly took his hand back, and changed the subject, "...Aunt Gu, would you like to eat some fruit?"

Aunt Gu seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and quickly turned her head away in a panic, clenching her hands unconsciously, "...Okay."

Xu Wenjun quickly dug out an apple from the fruits he had brought on the small cabinet beside the bed, his hands shaking uneasily.

Maybe I finished the apple with some embarrassment.

Aunt Gu just came back to her senses, and quickly opened the bedclothes. She didn't care that the stockings were a little stringy for some reason, stuffed them into high heels, and quickly went to work, the funeral parlor, the death certificate...

Xu Wenjun has been silently by her side. Whenever Aunt Gu is about to collapse emotionally, Xu Wenjun is always behind her, with his arms right there.

Although she didn't say anything, Aunt Gu would gently run into his arms, sobbing softly, and clutching the clothes on Xu Wenjun's chest tightly with both hands.

Qin Muge and the others finally came back overnight. The moment they came back, Mu Mu couldn't help but ran into Xu Wenjun's arms, "Wenjun, Wu Ma..."

Xu Wenjun comforted her gently.

He finally met Muge's father. He didn't say anything, just nodded and said hello.

After all the family members have arrived, Wu Ma will be kept in the funeral parlor for three days and then cremated. When Xu Wenjun comes again, at this time, he is still an outsider after all, so he has to be cautious.

After a brief farewell, Xu Wenjun went home to celebrate the New Year with Mother Wu, Aunt Gu...

Aunt Gu looked at Xu Wenjun's leaving figure, her eyes filled with complexity. Seeing Muge throw herself into his arms, her heart was trembling. She didn't want to, she didn't seem to want anyone else...

.turned his head in pain.

Aunt Gu's hands were shaking a little.

Xu Wenjun drove all the way back to his hometown. It was already the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Our busy man is back."

Entering the yard, there was a table set up in the yard, and the uncle was having fun.

"Uncle, second uncle, second aunt..."

Xu Wenjun, who was thoughtful, recovered his thoughts and greeted his family with a smile.

"Where's my mother?"

"Let's go visit next door."

The news that Mr. Wenjun of the Xu family had become rich spread widely in this small place in his hometown. This family invited my mother to have a meal, and that family also invited me to have a meal.

"Wenjun is now the big boss. He is busy during the New Year and the holidays, and he won't even come back for New Year's Eve..." My cousin was the same as before, still very jealous.

Xu Wenjun smiled and ignored her.

The news spread when Xu Wenjun arrived home.

I don’t know how many people came to the door. People in the village greeted her warmly, and then expressed their central idea of ​​having a child at home...

Xu Wenjun dealt with it well. After all, he had experienced it in his previous life. However, in his previous life, the people in his hometown always made some strange noises, such as... eating soft food and so on.

In Xu Wenjun's previous life, he was always related to people who could help him. After all, this is a human society. As a result, many people did not remember your good deeds and told you lies behind your back. It also made you think that it was wrong for you not to help them later. It's reasonable.

It should be, for example, he helped his second uncle's family in his previous life

A kid opened a milk tea shop and lent him 200,000 yuan without any interest, but he didn't pay back a penny. After spending 200,000 yuan, he came to Xu Wenjun again. The shameless lion opened his mouth and asked for another 300,000 yuan, with shocking words.

He said, if you put it all together, you owe 500,000.

The face is really big, so I don’t want it anymore.

How could Xu Wenjun borrow it? If you don't borrow it, people will think it's your fault. You deserve to die. You go around saying that Xu Wenjun is a bad person and that he has forgotten his roots because he is so rich. He doesn't even mention the help Xu Wenjun gave him.

Xu Wenjun is not going to help anyone in this life. What is the need to help hurt his heart.

After dealing with it perfunctorily in his hometown, Xu Wenjun hurried back to the capital for Wu Ma's funeral.

Xu Wenjun, dressed in black, followed Mu Mu through life, old age, illness, and death. He sadly left as he should, and finally died...

Although she did not go to Nanhai, Mu Mu still needed to go to her grandfather's house and said that her father visited many people.

So when we were saying goodbye, I asked Xu Wenjun to help accompany Aunt Gu these days. Aunt Gu has no relatives.

"Okay, I will."

The New Year is not over yet. Xu Wenjun, who has not returned home from attending the funeral in the capital, thought about it for a moment, then immediately ran to the kitchen, rummaged through the fruits and vegetables that the company employees had given him today, and found something.

After bundling up wine and vegetables, he also picked up a box of minced meat and a box of Maotai.

I quickly went downstairs, drove my car, and drove into a very familiar neighborhood. I took the elevator up and opened the door to Aunt Gu's house.

An hour passed.

Two hours have passed.

Suddenly, the code beeped and the door opened.

After closing the door, Aunt Gu came in from the outside and bent down to slip on her shoes with a tired look on her face. Suddenly, she noticed that there was a pair of men's shoes on the shoe rack. She couldn't help but look up and looked in, and said with a tight heart: "You...

...Why are you here?" He continued to take off his shoes, revealing his perfectly curved instep, and put on a pair of cotton slippers.

Xu Wenjun stood up in the room and said, "I will stay in the capital until school starts. I have no place to go, so I just want to visit Aunt Gu."

"I'm fine. Isn't your hometown in Shicheng..." Aunt Gu gracefully held the shoes and put them on the shelf. The movement of putting the shoes was also very graceful, "...can you not go back?"

"

"It doesn't matter, I already said it."

"...You are considerate, thank you."

"I told you earlier, you are Mu Mu's Aunt Gu, and you are also my Aunt Gu. You are so polite, how can we thank you..."

Aunt Gu Aunt Gu......

Aunt Gu had a smile in her eyes, but it was very complicated. She looked at him and said, "I don't know what to say. In fact, I'm very happy that you came to accompany me... When I came back, I was on the way.

I'm still thinking, I don't have Wu Ma anymore, and Sister Qiu and Mu Mu have him again

Our own family seems to be celebrating the New Year. I am alone. What should I do at night? Are you stupid? It’s boring, right? Wenjun, since you are here, let’s get something to eat.

, Well, if I had known I would have brought something to eat back."

Xu Wenjun pointed to the kitchen, "I've finished making the dumplings. If you're hungry, just cook them."
