Chenchen and I returned to the ward together. The old lady glanced at me. At this time, there were no tears in her eyes, but her face was still sad. She said to me: "Xiao Feng, he woke up earlier."
I told you that I wanted to see you, but now that he is asleep, let me wake him up."
I didn't object, because I didn't know what the old director wanted to say to me before the end of his life. I was worried that he would not wake up like this. That would be a huge disaster not only for him, but also for me.
regret.
I nodded.
The old lady went to the old director's side, leaned down, and called softly: "Old Li, wake up, Xiao Feng is already here."
After calling several times in a row, the old director slowly opened his eyes. I hurriedly went to his side and leaned down.
His eyes didn't have much luster, and it felt like he was struggling to keep his eyes open. The dim gaze in his eyes seemed to be searching and identifying... Suddenly, I found that the gaze in his eyes became clear in an instant.
, obviously, he discovered and recognized that it was me who was in front of him now.
He immediately forced out a smile and stretched out his hand towards me with all his strength. I hurriedly went to hold his hand.
But he was shaking his head and making inarticulate sounds, "Xiao, Xiao Feng, help me, help me up..."
At this moment, I suddenly remembered a story——
It is said that a week before Kant passed away, his body was extremely weak. A doctor came to visit him. Not only did he try to get up to greet him, he expressed his gratitude to the doctor for taking the time to come, using words that were no longer clear, and he also insisted on asking the doctor to come.
He sat down first, and then he sat down. When everyone was seated, Kant used all his strength and said a sentence with great difficulty, which turned out to be: "Respect for people has not left me yet."
This scene moved those who heard it, because it not only reflected respect for people, but also a high degree of self-esteem. For this reason, Enlightenment thinkers even equated politeness with human nature.
Therefore, even if it is deliberate at first, it may become fixed and become a behavioral pattern later on. You must know that "postures can become habits."
When politeness becomes a habit, it will be integrated into life and become a part of "human nature", touching people everywhere.
My eyes became moist at this moment, and my heart was filled with emotion and respect for him. I went to help his body up, and then put a pillow on his head to make him half-lying.
He stretched out his hand to hold my hand, then looked at Chenchen and stretched out his other hand towards her.
Chenchen understood and hurriedly came over to hold his hand.
At this time, the old director's hands were holding mine and Chenchen's hands respectively. I felt the strength in his hands, and at the same time I found that his eyes became much brighter.
"Xiao Feng, I can't do it anymore." The old director finally said something again, and his words were very clear.
I hurriedly said: "Old director, you're fine."
He was shaking his head and still looking at me, "Xiao Feng, promise me something."
I said without thinking: "Please tell me, I will definitely do it."
He nodded, with a kind look in his eyes. He glanced at Chenchen, and then turned his eyes to my face, "Xiao Feng, I leave Chenchen to you. She is still young, and I am leaving.
This world has changed, and now the only thing I can't worry about is her. I hope you can take good care of her..."
When he said the word "she", his voice suddenly became much softer. I suddenly felt that his hand holding mine became soft at this moment. What I felt just now
That sense of power suddenly disappeared at this moment.
His eyes slowly closed, and I hurriedly looked at the infusion set and found that the liquid in the transparent infusion tube had stopped flowing. My heart suddenly sank, and I hurriedly reached out to test his breath...
At this moment, the grief in my heart suddenly poured out, and tears burst out uncontrollably, "Old Director..."
The old lady and Chenchen understood immediately, and the ward was filled with sobs at this moment...
I helped handle the entire funeral process of the old director. However, I was really too busy, so I entrusted Xiao Sui and my secretary Xiao Xu to handle many details.
The memorial service was organized by the province to recruit abbots, and I also attended. Shang Longxing was really a good person. Not only did she pay off the personal share of the old director’s medical expenses, but she also gave a subsidy to the old director’s family in the name of the company.
Funeral expenses.
I know that she did this entirely out of respect for the old director, and partly for my sake.
I paid for the old director’s cemetery, which is in the same place as my father’s cemetery. I said to the old director’s wife and Chenchen: “I am able to be where I am today, which is inseparable from the help and education the old director gave me.
.I don’t know what to give to the old director, but I think he may need a place to rest quietly now.”
When the old director's ashes were buried, I specially ordered a bottle of Moutai to be put in. This bottle of Moutai was also provided by me personally and is absolutely authentic.
On this day, after we said our final goodbyes to the old director at his grave, I went to my father's grave alone. When I knelt down and worshiped, I suddenly found Chenchen standing not far from me. She was looking there.
Hold me.
I hurriedly walked towards her, her face was slightly red. I said to her: "My father's tomb is also here."
She looked at me and said, "Can I go pay homage to his old man?"
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt an indescribable excitement in my heart, "Of course. I, I will take you there."
Soon, we were standing in front of my father's tomb. She knelt down slowly next to me, and then kowtowed three times. She didn't say anything in front of my father's tomb, but her move just now conveyed to my heart that
My message had already made me excited - she had clearly accepted my performance.
However, I don't know why, I felt that I was a little too cautious in front of her. At this time, when she stood up from the ground after kneeling to worship my father, I suddenly felt at a loss.
At this time, I heard her whisper to me: "Let's go."
I don’t know why, but I suddenly had an impulse, “Chenchen, the mother of my current child is also buried here, and I also want to see her. Do you want to go?”
She seemed stunned for a moment, and then said to me: "Okay, I'll go with you."
At this moment, my heart suddenly relaxed, and the caution and nervousness in my heart just now disappeared. (To be continued)
