Mr. Li, Madam, she is not guilty of death

Mother Xu easily changed the subject: "Osmanthus wine has to be brewed, and it can be sold for a lot of money. I'll pick some back later."

The fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus wine doesn't need to be brewed for a long time. Seeing Xu Nian going out with the dustpan, Xu's mother's soft expression suddenly changed.

The disease is getting more and more painful, and there is no cure. Even if the kidney is transplanted, it will not fully recover, and it will last for a few more years at most.

If you die sooner or later, you will die. For a terminally ill person, it takes more courage to live than to die, but there is some reluctance to part with her.

Xu Nian quickly came back with a dustpan of sweet-scented osmanthus. Xu's mother endured the severe pain. At this moment, her body was already at the end of her strength. She could feel her body getting weaker and weaker.

She forced a smile and looked at Xu Nian: "Nian Nian, Mom suddenly wants the hat that she saw when she was discharged from the hospital that day."

It has been half a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and I don't know if that beautiful hat has been bought yet.

Xu Nian put down the dustpan in his hand: "Then I'll take you to buy it another day."

"If it's late, I'm afraid there will be none. It's still early today, and there is no food at home, and the wine is gone. You buy some and come back and look at the store by the way. If you still have the hat, you can buy it for me. If you don't have any, forget it."

Xu Nian glanced at the sky outside. It would take about three hours to go back by car. Her mother was ill and didn't have the strength to walk that far. Moreover, this was the first time her mother told her that she wanted something.

"Okay, I'll go buy it now." Xu Nian changed his clothes, carried a bag, waved to Xu's mother, and ran to the station.

As soon as she left, Xu's mother staggered. She supported herself and continued to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. One piece, two pieces, ten yuan, 50 yuan. There was no sweet-scented osmanthus and no wine. She didn't even count the osmanthus cakes, but the osmanthus cakes on this table should be enough for Nian Nian to eat this year.

She took off her apron weakly and staggered towards the yard.

The sun is very good outside, and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree enjoys the shade, not only can you smell the fragrance of flowers and listen to the birdsong.

When she was free, she would lie on the rocking chair under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Today the sun is very good, the wind is also good, and the flowers are fragrant. She is very satisfied to die on such a day.

She squinted her eyes and murmured subconsciously: "Nian Nian, you were born and raised by your mother with hope... If there is a next life...be my daughter again..."

Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, she closed them gently, and never opened them again this time.

……

Xu Nian couldn't find that hat in that store. She didn't want to disappoint her mother, so she searched all over the city center and finally found the same hat.

After paying, she held the shopping bag, thinking that her mother would be very happy if she wore this hat.

Xu Nian bought wine, and when he went back, he deliberately went to the vegetable market to buy fresh vegetables, and slowly returned with a bag, and before he reached the door, he shouted excitedly: "Mom, I'm back."

No one answered her, Xu Nian felt a little strange, suddenly felt a little scared facing the quiet home, and even a voice in her head told her to stop and not go in again.

She walked into the room and saw a table full of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which were very fragrant. Xu Nian put down the dishes in his hand, took out the hat, and walked through the kitchen to the yard. Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, she saw Mom is lying on the rattan chair.

Quiet as if falling asleep, Xu Nian walked over and looked at Xu's mother's pale face: "Mom, wake up... I'm back and I bought you a hat you like. Put it on and let me see."

Mother Xu still didn't move.

Xu Nian reached out and grabbed his mother's hand, wondering why it was so cold?It must be because there is no quilt.

"Mom, wait a minute, I know you like to sleep in the yard, I'll get you a blanket, don't catch a cold."

Xu Nian put the hat in her arms, got up and went back to the room, and quickly covered Xu's mother with the blanket. She also took a warm water bottle. She knelt on the ground to warm her mother's hands, but this time, no matter how she covered them, she couldn't warm them.She lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes.

"Mom, I saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made. Didn't you say you taught me? Why did you make so many while I wasn't paying attention? I'm so stupid that I haven't learned it yet. Can you teach me how to do it again?"

"I also bought the wine. Now that I am grown up, I can drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine you brewed."

"I will make a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine this year, and I don't know if there are enough sweet-scented osmanthus from this tree."

Xu Nian tremblingly grabbed Mother Xu's hand and put it on his face, tears slid down his cheeks onto Mother Xu's hand.

"Mom, I'll tell you a joke. Open your eyes and look at me after listening, okay?" She choked up and said, "There was a duck playing with a ball by the sea, and suddenly a gust of wind blew the ball away. , It chased the ball and ran, shouting desperately, "Qiaoqiu, don't go... Qiuqiu, don't go... Mom, did you hear that?" The duckling said, "Qiaoqiu, don't go.... ..”

Please don't go, don't leave me alone.

"Mom, I haven't had time to honor you, and I haven't taken you to see the pink sea." She couldn't help but burst into tears, crying bitterly.

There will be a price to pay for doing something wrong, but why can't this price fall on her?

Xu Nian knelt in the yard guarding his mother's body, from dark to dawn, it's really cold in autumn, the frozen people lost their sanity.
