Xue Ling stood on the other side, looking at the tombstone with sadness.
The little girl who loved walking through the streets and chatting with the aunts and sisters in the village... is gone.
No matter how glorious you were during your lifetime, how rich and respected you were, or how humble you were like an ant, in the end it will all turn into a pile of loess. There is no difference. This is the case for everyone.
She recalled that Cheng Tianfang was coaxed to leave home when he was young and careless. However, he was entrusted to an unfaithful person and ended up getting divorced. He almost lost his life and was defrauded of all his belongings.
Later, she changed her ways, studied hard for many years, and finally graduated successfully, becoming a vigorous intellectual.
At that time, they had just arrived in the imperial capital to develop, and Cheng Tianfang also came with them. They successfully obtained their household registration and work unit.
In the beautiful years of their early twenties, she and Xue Heng met each other, fell in love at first sight and finally came together.
When they got married that year, the two families were so happy that everyone was smiling from ear to ear. Even the Ahu couple from Rongcheng came to attend the wedding. It was crowded and lively.
We got closer and closer, we lived on the same floor, and we never looked up or down, and our relationship was very deep. Those days were really wonderful, and they passed by so fast, and several years passed by in a flash!
It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the relationship is, it can't withstand the daily trivialities and boring daily necessities of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The two of them bickered for several years and finally welcomed a baby girl. Who knew that the birth of their daughter did not save their marriage, but instead made it worse?
Their marriage is falling apart.
Cheng Tianfang was so close to death several times, but he survived again and again. He was supposed to be a person with endless blessings, but he always took detours and even lost his way because of his wrong understanding.
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the day she committed suicide in prison. When he hurried over, Cheng Tianfang's face was as pale as a dead person.
She was just one step away from death, but she deserved to die in the end and lived for another twenty years. Unfortunately, her vitality was severely damaged and her body and bones were not very strong. She basically spent the last few years recuperating her body.
Looking at her life, it was full of twists and turns, ups and downs. She was once prosperous, but also fell to the bottom, and finally turned into a pile of loess.
Xue Ling thought about it, and her cheeks were soaked with tears again.
Cheng Huanchong stepped forward and hugged her, comforting her in a low voice: "Mom, please stop crying... I'll help you sit down."
"No need." Xue Ling shook his head: "I want to see more and spend more time with your aunt."
Cheng Tianyuan waved his hand and said in a calm voice: "No need to accompany me. Let's all go back."
After saying this, he turned around and walked slowly.
Chen Xinzhi and Lin Qingzhi were worried about him and hurriedly continued to support him from left to right.
Cheng Tianyuan did not look back and walked quietly.
Chen Xinzhi and Chen Xinzhi didn't speak a word and accompanied them silently.
"Uncle..." Xue Han couldn't help shouting.
Zheng Xiaoyi on the side stopped her and sighed in a low voice: "Your uncle is too sad and can't stay any longer."
Xue Han seemed to understand, but looked at Luo Jie's back being helped away, sobbing softly.
Cheng Huanran saw that Xue Heng's face was not very good, so he helped him sit on the small stool.
Xue Heng hadn't seen him for a long time and found that he had lost a lot of weight. He felt heartbroken secretly and patted his shoulder and squeezed it.
"It's good to come back. Just come back safely. Of course, you are all good."
Cheng Huanran murmured with red eyes: "It's a pity... I still can't protect my aunt."
"I don't blame anyone." Xue Heng sighed and whispered: "I blame this damn virus that kills people... Your aunt's own body is not up to par. So many people are unfortunately infected, but a large number of them can survive.
Ah Fang had too many basic illnesses and her body was always very weak, so she couldn’t bear it in the end.”
Xue Huan came over and sighed with emotion: "This is a fact, and it is also a helpless fact."
He is a doctor, and he also wants to save his family and relatives, but no matter how powerful the doctor is, he often fails to save his life.
Cheng Huanran let out a long sigh and scratched his hair irritably.
"Uncle Huan, what are your plans next?"
Xue Huan was already retired. During this epidemic, he took the initiative to go to the hospital to help rescue patients, and has since stayed to help the injured.
“The epidemic situation is still unclear at the moment.”
You have to go back to the hospital."
Cheng Huanran couldn't help but ask: "What about aunt?"
"She can go back to the nursing home." Xue Huan said: "My sister-in-law is gone, and my brother's health is not very good. I am not in the nursing home, so she has to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the business inside and outside."
Xue Heng was very worried about his brother and whispered: "This is not an ordinary virus... I am still very weak to this day. You are not young anymore and have already retired. It can help for a while, but it cannot help for a lifetime. What if?
If you get infected again, your body will definitely be unable to bear it. If you stay in the nursing home, you can still save lives and heal the wounded."
"No." Xue Huan shook his head firmly: "We have been exposed to many cases, and we can slowly accumulate treatment experience. The epidemic is indeed very dangerous, but as I am older, it is more important for me to rush to the front and block it for the younger generations."
Xue Heng was very worried and murmured: "I... I just lost a relative, and I can't lose another one. Dad still needs us, and the nursing home needs you too."
Xue Huan's eyes turned red unconsciously, and he whispered: "Brother, if something happens to me... I have no choice but to ask you for help. I am an unworthy descendant. I can't always stay by his old man's side and be filial to him. I feel sorry for him."
His upbringing. But I believe dad will understand me... He is also a doctor, he can understand me."
Xue Heng knew that he couldn't be persuaded and turned away.
"Dad is old and can't stand any stimulation. If you insist on continuing to study this damn virus, you must promise to take precautions and protect yourself. You are not allowed to get into trouble again! Dad can understand you, but he cannot lose his son.
.You shouldn’t let the old man experience the suffering that a white-haired man gives a black-haired man. How old is he...he won’t be able to bear it.”
Xue Huan nodded hastily: "I will, and I will do my best to protect myself."
Zheng Xiaoyi listened quietly not far away without interrupting.
Cheng Huanran looked at her anxiously, then pushed Xue Huan.
"Uncle Huan, have you discussed this matter with your aunt?"
Xue Huan looked at his beloved wife with complicated eyes, and there were thousands of words hidden in his eyes.
Zheng Xiaoyi looked back at him. After looking at each other for a moment, she smiled at him.
Xue Huan murmured: "No need to discuss. She understands me and she will support me."
"But she is not the only one in your family!" Xue Heng glared at his younger brother with dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Where are the two children? Have you ever thought about them? You have been busy working all day and finally took a break for two or three years.
We are waiting for them to come back to reunite after graduation - if something happens to you, will you be worthy of them?!"
