Middle-aged greasy uncle and world-weary girl

Chapter 205

Jiang Jun put on a shroud for the old man.

Normally, the old man's shoes should be worn by the youngest daughter in the family, because the old man has no children, so this shoe can only be worn by Mia.

Mia had never seen a dead person before, so she was already mentally prepared for Jiang Jun.However, when she picked up the old man's shoes and walked up to the old man, her white hands couldn't help shaking—she was scared.

At this time, Jiang Jun walked to Mia's side, and gently placed his warm hands on Mia's fragrant shoulders.

Mia felt the temperature of Jiang Jun's palm, and turned her head to glance at Jiang Jun. Seeing the softness on Jiang Jun's face, Mia took a deep breath, and nodded firmly to Jiang Jun.

Putting on the shroud and shoes, Jiang Jun called the husband of the funeral home, and because it was night, the husband could not come until dawn.

There was light snow in Xi'an, and the cold winter wind hit Mia's body, and the chill penetrated into her bones. Mia couldn't help shivering, and her fragrant shoulders shrank.

Jiang Jun took off his coat and gently put it on Mia's body.

"Thank you." Mia said softly.

Jiang Jun didn't say anything, he touched his pocket and found that there was no cigarette left.

"Buy a pack of cigarettes with me." Jiang Jun said lightly.

"Okay." Mia also felt that it was time to move around, which would make her feel warmer.

When leaving, Mia heard Huiying crying, which made people feel distressed.

"Huiying...what should I do? Let her go home?" Mia asked worriedly.

"It's okay, she won't have a chance to cry at dawn." Jiang Jun said lightly.

Mia felt that what Jiang Jun said was reasonable. Although Huiying was still young, she still had to face some things by herself.

The two walked under the street lights and passed a 24-hour convenience store, but Jiang Jun didn't intend to stop.

Mia didn't remind Jiang Jun either.There are two reasons for this. First, it is very good to walk with Jiang Jun on the street like this. Second, Jiang Jun must not know that there is a convenience store here. The reason why he does not buy cigarettes here must be that he must have something to say to himself. .

"I've wronged you, you shouldn't be allowed to do this." Jiang Jun smiled wryly.

"It's okay." Mia pulled back her hair. She knew that Jiang Jun was referring to helping the old man put on shoes, but when it came to this matter, Mia never forgot Jiang Jun's warm hand.

After Jiang Jun said this, he didn't say anything, and Mia didn't say anything, and the two of them just walked quietly on the street.

"That..." Mia asked softly, "You...how did you know something will happen to the old man tonight?"

"Yesterday she didn't make Liangpi." Jiang Jun said.

"Just because of this?" Mia was a little surprised.

"A century-old store, no matter it is windy or rainy, the old man's Liangpi shop has never stopped. It doesn't matter how many customers there are. What the old man cares about is that even if there is one person who wants to eat Liangpi, she must be there. That day the old man Something happened, and I came to help with the business because of this, the old man cares about this, and the old man's rules can't be broken." Jiang Jun said lightly.

"Oh, so that's the case." Mia thought about it again, "But the day the old man woke up, he still closed early."

"Yeah, it's only for one day." Jiang Jun sighed.

"Then..." Mia asked again, "Let's take a step back, if you don't leave the hospital that day... will you..."

Mia's meaning is obvious. The old man proposed to be discharged from the hospital that day. If Jiang Jun refused, wouldn't the result like today happen? Did he lack consideration in the decision to leave the hospital?
"It's all the same." Jiang Jun explained, "Old lady... Didn't she say that she knows what's going on with her body, and even if she's in the hospital, she'll just live an extra day or two. After all, she's a centenarian, how many It’s not so much to pay attention to one day at a time. The old man has done everything he should do, and that’s enough. The old man can choose where to go west in the end. If she likes being at home, she will be discharged from the hospital.”

Mia lowered her head in shame when she heard the sound.

After so many years of working in the workplace, Mia thought that her EQ was higher than ordinary people, but she didn't realize it, and there were things she couldn't observe, but Jiang Jun, the old man's thoughts were extremely accurate.

"You didn't go back to the north because of the old man?" Mia asked again.

"Almost." Jiang Jun sighed.

As he spoke, Jiang Jun stopped.

"Here we are." Jiang Jun said.

Mia heard the sound and looked up, only to find that there is a 24-hour convenience store here.

Jiang Jun walked into the convenience store and bought a pack of Hongtashan. When paying, Mia stopped Jiang Jun.

"I'll do it." Mia said softly.

"Thank you." Jiang Jun was not polite.

Sometimes the favors that should be owed are owed. After all, Mia has helped so much, and when they want to settle accounts, I am refusing, which is unreasonable.

Walking out of the convenience store, Jiang Jun turned directly into the nearby pharmacy.

"Is there a Band-Aid?" Jiang Jun asked.

Mia looked surprised, wondering what Jiang Jun was going to do to buy the Band-Aid.

"Yes." The salesperson yawned.

"Take the most expensive ones." Jiang Jun said.

The salesperson just whipped out the best Band-Aids in the store.

It was time to pay again, and just as Mia was about to take out her phone, Jiang Jun reached out and grabbed her arm.

"It's up to me." Jiang Jun smiled.

Mia was a little dazed, and nodded without knowing why, "Oh."

When Jiang Jun and Mia returned to the Liangpi shop, they could no longer hear Huiying's crying. She knelt in front of the old man, weeping silently.

Jiang Jun thought, this may be the appearance of a person who is extremely sad, the tears are full of the hostility of death.

"Brother Jiang." Huiying said softly.

"En." Jiang Jun responded.

"Brother Jiang, go back and rest, I'm fine." Huiying said.

Jiang Jun thought for a while, sighed, and stepped forward to pat Huiying on the shoulder.

"Brother Tianliang is coming." Jiang Jun said.

"Yeah." Huiying nodded.

Jiang Jun took Mia away.

……

……

Back to the hotel.

"Are you afraid?" Jiang Jun asked softly.

"Huh?" Mia looked at Jiang Jun in confusion.

"It's okay." Jiang Jun smiled, "Go to bed earlier."

After all, Jiang Jun turned around and was about to walk into his room.

At this moment, Mia finally came to her senses, she bit her lips, reached out and grabbed Jiang Jun's hand.

"I..." Mia said hesitantly, "I'm afraid I might have a nightmare."

Jiang Jun raised his eyebrows, thinking so, after all, she is a woman, after seeing a dead person, there may be nothing wrong when she is awake, and no one can guarantee that she will dream of something scary when she is asleep.

"En." Jiang Jun responded, then turned around and came back.

Mia pursed her lips, took out the key and opened the door of the room.

"That...Mr. Jiang, sit down first, I want to take a shower." Mia said.

Women are all shy, saying that they are going to take a bath in front of a man, no matter how they hear it, they feel that this is a bit ambiguous.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun said lukewarmly.

Jiang Jun walked into the room, sat on the sofa, and took out a cigarette again.

Seeing this, Mia let out a long sigh of relief, but after she went into the bathroom and took off her coat, she was inexplicably disappointed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, because Jiang Jun was different from other men, and he didn't think about this kind of thing.

The inexplicable loss in his heart is because Jiang Jun didn't think wrongly, he didn't seem to regard himself as an extremely tempting existence, in short, women are such contradictory creatures.

Mia took a shower, put on her pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom.

She sat and put it on, and took a deep breath. It was only when she was taking a shower that she realized that her ankle was torn. It was from high heels. After all, she had been running around for a while, even if she was wearing socks, she couldn't stand it. of.

Jiang Jun glanced at Mia's ankle, and took out the Band-Aid that he bought in advance.

"Here." Jiang Jun said.

Mia looked up at Jiang Jun, stunned for a second, and then suddenly realized that this man... is so careful.

"Thank you." Mia said and sent her over.

Misunderstood.

Jiang Jun originally intended to give the Band-Aid to Mia, but Mia subconsciously thought that he was going to stick it for her.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The two froze for three seconds.

Jiang Jun squatted down.

Ke Mia put her feet back again.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The two were embarrassed for another three seconds.

"I..." Mia blushed, she panicked.

"It's okay." Jiang Jun said lightly.

After all, in order to prevent embarrassment from happening again, Jiang Jun reached out and gently held Mia's feet.

Mia, who has been running around in the workplace all year round, although she often comes into contact with men, but that contact is only because of work, and all the topics are also developed around work. Even, subtly, Mia has become a woman who does not possess Emotional machine.

That is to say, during the period of following Jiang Jun, it was like a long vacation, and the tense working state completely disappeared. At this moment, when Jiang Jun grabbed her ankle, a sense of crispness came from bottom to top.

Mia's heart pounded wildly, like a deer rolling in the grass in the sun.

With a calm face, Jiang Jun put the Band-Aid on Mia's ankle neatly.

"Okay." Jiang Jun said lightly.

Jiang Jun didn't say any unnecessary words of concern, but went to the sofa over there and lay down.

"Go to bed early, I'll call you at dawn." Jiang Jun said lightly.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Jun slowly closed his eyes.

Logically speaking, Mia is actually nervous inside, but Jiang Jun's serious and clean attitude is expressing a kind of appearance that Jiang Jun has no evil thoughts towards her, which is undoubtedly true for Mia who is slamming her heart. A pot of cold water wakes up the heart that is easily moved as a woman.

After being stunned for a long time, when he came back to his senses, Jiang Jun was lying down at this moment.

Mia got out of her thoughts, tilted her head to look at her well-maintained white and tender feet, then twisted her feet, and looked at the Band-Aid on it from different angles.

For women in the workplace, the ankles are often worn out by high heels, but every time it is a Band-Aid that they put on by themselves. After careful calculation, this is the first time in ten years that someone else puts a Band-Aid on themselves, and he is still a man.

Mia turned her head to glance at Jiang Jun on the sofa, and stared at his unshaven face. Although it was a bit sloppy, it was much more reliable than those little fresh meats on TV.

Mia got into the bed, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes gurgling outside.

This was the first time Mia slept in pajamas, but she didn't feel unaccustomed.

……

……

dawn.

Mia and Jiang Jun came to Liangpi shop.

Huiying was still kneeling there, motionless. Looking at it like this, it seemed that she had come here this night.

Not long after, the gentleman from the funeral home came.

"Huiying." Jiang Jun said softly.

Huiying was numb, kneeling there and turning a deaf ear.

"Huiying, sir is here." Jiang Jun said softly.

At this time, Huiying's eyes regained a trace of spirit.

"Brother Jiang?" Huiying said, "Brother Jiang, you're here."

"Well, sir is here too." Jiang Jun said softly.

"Yeah." Huiying nodded and stood up.

Seeing this, Jiang Jun felt a lot more at ease, at least now Huiying looks much stronger.

According to Mr. Zao's request, Jiang Jun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady. He said whatever the husband asked him to say.

Twenty or ten minutes later, the old man was carried into the car of the funeral home.

After arriving at the funeral home, all the formalities have been completed, and the old man begins the process of cremation.

"That...you are the son of the old man, right?" the gentleman asked Jiang Jun.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun said lightly.

"It's different now than before, everything is simple." The gentleman said lightly.

"Then..." Jiang Jun asked tentatively, "Can you keep some, I plan to let the old lady be buried with the old man."

"This..." Mr. was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Mia stepped forward and said to Jiang Jun, "Leave it to me."

Mia took out her mobile phone and communicated back and forth for about three to ten minutes. It only worked if she used her relationship.

Before the cremation, Huiying saw the old man again. This was the last time, really the last time.

Hui Ying, who had decided to be strong, suddenly shed tears again. She grabbed Jiang Jun's chest tightly, then looked up at Jiang Jun, and asked stubbornly, "Brother Jiang, I still want to be filial."

Jiang Jun slowly closed his eyes, hugged Huiying gently, and did not speak.

"Brother Jiang."

"if……"

"I mean, if, if I told my grandma at that time, can I live for two more days for my granddaughter, will she work hard for a few more days, I still want to be filial!"

As soon as these words fell, Jiang Jun suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at the child in front of him in shock.

Yes, isn't it too selfish for the old man to leave?
You left before your granddaughter fulfilled her filial piety. How could you bear to make your child feel guilty for life?

However, it was too late and the old lady was carried away.

……

……

half a month later.

The sound of children chasing once again sounded in the ancient alley.

thump—

Erya accidentally bumped her head against a woman in formal attire.

Erya clutched her forehead cutely, seeing Mia, she had an impression.

"Little sister, be careful." Mia squatted down.

"Sister, I'm sorry." Erya nodded.

"Is it still hurting?" Mia asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Erya patted her forehead, as if to show that her forehead is strong.

Then, the group of children apologized to Mia together.

Mia saw it in her eyes and smiled in her heart. This group of children... It's still the same, one person made a mistake, and a group of children followed suit to apologize.

Afterwards, the group of children looked at Jiang Jun beside Mia. They made faces at Jiang Jun and yelled "Silly", seeing Jiang Jun's angry face, the group of children smoked and ran away.

"Little kid!" Jiang Jun looked at the direction in which the children were fleeing, and said angrily.

Mia stood up, looked at Jiang Jun, and smiled in relief.

The two continued to walk towards the Liangpi shop. Along the way, the neighbors passing by would greet Jiang Jun.

"Is the big fool here?"

"Love!" Jiang Jun responded, "Here we come."

There was a very simple neighbor who saw Dasha and smiled, "Dasha, it's been half a month, why haven't you..."

Before he finished speaking, the speaker was kicked by his wife, which can be regarded as kicking the man's back.

"Is the big fool here?" The man's wife took the conversation.

"Love." Jiang Jun smiled, "Here we come."

In fact, Mia knew what this man was going to say. In fact, what he wanted to say was that the old man has been away for more than half a month, and it's time for you to go back to the north.The woman interrupted the man because it was impolite, like driving Jiang Jun away from here.

Why did Jiang Jun stay here for so long? In fact, everyone knew it well. As early as Jiang Jun got the formula, he should have left here. The reason why he didn’t leave was because the old lady was critically ill, and then because the old lady passed away. Still not leaving until now, still worried about the lonely Huiying.

Jiang Jun is a man of affection and righteousness. The neighbors in the neighborhood can see this, especially the way he kowtows to the old lady when he wears mourning. Everyone can see this.

It is affection to help, and it is duty not to help. Jiang Jun has got everything, and he can do things like this. Even the oldest old man in the alley has great admiration for Jiang Jun.

Liangpi shop.

Jiang Jun and Mia walked in.

Seeing this, Huiying, who was still busy, quickly put down the work at hand.

"Brother Jiang, you're here." Huiying wiped the sweat off her forehead with her wrist.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun sat down, "Give me the whole Liangpi."

"Same as usual?" Huiying laughed.

"Of course." Jiang Jun smiled.

"Okay." Huiying ran to prepare Liangpi.

Not long after, two servings of Liangpi and Roujiamo were served by Huiying, one was from Jiang Jun and the other was from Mia.

Jiang Jun was eating Liangpi, looked at the guests around, and sighed, "There are still so many guests."

"Hee hee." Huiying showed her white teeth and looked very happy.

Jiang Jun nodded in satisfaction, lowered his head and concentrated on eating the Liangpi.

Huiying was lying on the table, tilting her head to look at Jiang Jun, with joy in her eyes that she would never tire of seeing.

"Brother Jiang." Huiying said softly.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun lowered his head and was busy eating Liangpi.

"Go back to the north." Huiying said lightly.

As soon as these words fell, Jiang Jun stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and he looked up at Huiying without saying a word.

"No hurry." Jiang Jun said lightly.

After all, Jiang Jun lowered his head and continued to eat cold noodle.

"I'm fine." Huiying said calmly.

"That's not in a hurry." Jiang Jun said.

At some point, the old alley suddenly became full of neighbors.

"Dasha, let's go, we will take care of Huiying."

Jiang Jun was stunned, raised his head, turned around, saw that everyone was there, and was frightened.

The neighbors looked at Dasha with smiles, and the joy on everyone's faces was the same, and they couldn't help it. Even the children came running, and they also looked at Jiang Jun, and some even made faces at Jiang Jun.

"You..." Jiang Jun choked up.

"Dasha, let's go, don't worry, Huiying still has us!"

At this time, Huiying also smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, go back to the north, I'm really fine."

"Yeah, go back, Dasha, don't you still start a business?" The neighbors echoed.

"I..." Jiang Jun didn't know what to say.

Finally, Jiang Jun sighed.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun said lightly, "Then leave tomorrow."
