The night wind whistled with the chill of early spring, and the coldness was deep.
Xue Ling hurried down the stairs and found the third brother and Lin Qingzhi standing side by side waiting.
The two of them were wearing the same windbreaker, tall and tall, and outstanding temperament, looking at themselves with their heads raised.
"mom!"
"Aunt!"
The two of them met, one left and one right, and took what was in her hand.
Xue Ling's head was buzzing, her mind was very confused, and she spoke a little hoarsely: "Let's go back first."
The extended version of the luxury car drove over, and Cheng Huanchong helped her get into the car.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Qingzhi asked with concern: "Auntie, are you okay with your throat? It sounds like something is wrong."
"It's okay." Xue Ling frowned and replied: "Maybe he didn't drink much water on the plane."
Lin Qingzhi poured a cup of warm water and gave it to her.
"Thank you." Xue Ling murmured and took it, taking a big sip.
Cheng Huanchong looked at his mother's bad face and whispered in distress: "Mom, let you hurry back..."
"If something big happens, how can I not come back?" Xue Ling sighed helplessly: "When reading the news, we habitually look at the infection numbers and the death numbers. If Sister Ah Chun died suddenly, we would have been
I thought this epidemic was far away from us. But I didn’t expect that... there was one more person missing in our family.”
Lin Qingzhi whispered comfortingly: "Auntie, you have to mourn. My aunt has always been in poor health and has many underlying diseases. The mortality rate of such patients is relatively high. The epidemic has swept the entire imperial capital, not because she doesn't want to avoid it, but because she can't.
”
Xue Ling choked up and said, "When your father said he was going to come back, I thought it was because of his excessive concern. He might have had a premonition because of family affection."
A few days ago, my husband always tossed and turned and couldn't sleep or eat well. When he asked him, he always evasively said that it was okay.
It was not until she asked him what was going on that he said he didn't know what was going on. There was always an ominous premonition choking in his heart, feeling unspeakable.
"I comforted him at the beginning and said that Afang had turned dark and his situation was getting better day by day, so there was no need to worry about him. Who knew... she could not escape this disaster."
Cheng Huanchong whispered with red eyes: "No one expected it... I thought it was okay. Uncle Huan said that my aunt's physical fitness was too poor and her body was too weak. Even though she turned to the yin, her internal organs were always very weak, slowly...
...I can't stand it anymore."
Lin Qingzhi explained: "There are always doctors around my aunt, and there is also a very professional nurse. But in the end they are powerless... It's not that they don't save them, but that they can't save them and they are weak in the future."
"I understand." Xue Ling sighed and nodded: "You have done a good job and have tried your best. The sanatorium is still sealed. It is not easy for you to send doctors, nurses and instruments in and try to allocate personnel."
Cheng Huanchong lowered his voice: "Ke Xiaohan...she is very excited now. She...she even blames us."
"Don't pay attention to her." Xue Ling shook her head: "She was just too sad and couldn't find a vent, so she was angry and talking nonsense."
Lin Qingzhi patted Cheng Huanchong's arm and whispered: "She is still sick, she is a patient. Give her some time, and she will get better. She is a patient and the saddest person. If we care about her at this time,
On the contrary, we are not reasonable enough and considerate enough."
"Oh..." Cheng Huanchong said depressedly: "It's not just her that feels uncomfortable."
Xue Xin hurried to Xinyuan to pick up Xiaohan, but the two of them received bad news about Cheng Tianfang's death shortly after they left.
Xue Han was stunned and was stunned for a long time.
"Xiao Xin said she didn't move for most of the time, so scared her that she didn't know what to do." Cheng Huan Chong explained: "Who later she cried and yelled like crazy, and even hit Xiao Xin."
"Is the fourth brother okay?" Xue Ling frowned and asked, "Isn't you injured?"
Cheng Huanchong whispered: "There were several injuries on his arms, his neck was tickled and bleeding, and his thighs were kicked a few times. Fortunately, the bodyguard jumped to the back seat to suppress Xiaohan, otherwise Xiaoxin would definitely be beaten badly."
Xue Ling secretly felt sorry for her daughter and said, "Xiao Han's situation is special... Be careful when you contact her these days."
"She was beaten with a tranquilizer." Lin Qingzhi explained: "It was too unstable and had to be beaten. Later she fell asleep. I arranged for two psychiatrists to accompany her and take turns on duty. They and Xiaohan had contacted each other before.
After a while, I learned a lot about her condition and I believe they would persuade her. Uncle Heng was in a very depressed mood and was not in good health, so I really couldn't care about her."
Cheng Huanchong frowned and whispered: "Uncle Heng is sick and in poor spirits, and he is half hunched over when walking."
"You have to help take care of him!" Xue Ling asked, "Have you arranged it?"
Cheng Huanchong replied: "The second brother is taking care of him. Uncle Huan really can't leave. There are still a lot of patients waiting for him to treat him. The sanatorium has people and friends, so he asked Uncle Heng to stay.
Rest and let the doctors in the sanatorium take good care of themselves. Don’t worry if you have the doctor and your second brother there.”
Xue Ling nodded and said, "It's too late now. I'll talk to my second brother after dawn."
The car was driving steadily on the suburbs of the city. I saw bright lights on both sides of the road, but very few vehicles were coming and going.
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at the night view outside the car window, feeling a lot of emotion.
"In just one winter... nothing seems to have changed, but it seems to have become too much. This winter is too cold... it is still cold until now."
The heater in the car was very good, but she felt cold in her hands and feet.
Cheng Huanchong, who was standing beside him, opened the automatic cabinet under his feet, took out a thin quilt, and gently wrapped it around his mother.
Xue Ling asked in a low voice: "Go to the hospital to see your father first, right? I want to see him first."
Now that I can't sleep when I go back to Xinyuan, I might as well go over and see how he is doing.
He hadn't seen him for a few days, so he went to the hospital, so how could she not worry?
"Yes." Lin Qingzhi said warmly: "Everyone is there, and we will still rest there tonight."
Cheng Huanchong hurriedly comforted: "Dad's condition is not serious. The doctor said he could go back after taking a few drip for two or three days. But something happened to his aunt suddenly... Dad couldn't stand it."
"It always takes time." Xue Ling sighed and asked, "What do you say about the funeral? Are you sure it can't be done?"
Lin Qingzhi replied: "At present, there is no way to handle funerals, so gatherings of more than seven people are prohibited. If it is a happy event, postpone it for a while before handling it well. But the funeral... cannot be postponed, so I can only try to handle it as simple as possible."
Xue Ling was very open about this and nodded in agreement.
"There are no people, and the grand ceremony is not very important. The current epidemic situation is unclear. If you should abide by it, you should strictly abide by it. You cannot harm the collective interests based on personal emotions. Besides, there is no illness, old age, and funeral.
