Fall in a second
Chapter 99
Lu Ming, who has always been smooth sailing in Subject [-] and Subject [-], made a mistake in the test of Subject [-] this time. During the first test, he encountered a test vehicle with a manual transmission in front of him. The other party blocked Lu Ming because of the flameout. As a result, she failed her grades. During the second exam, Lu Ming was already flustered. Before getting in the car, she actually looked around the car body for a week. After she got in the car and sat down, she was directly announced that she failed the grade.
She felt that she shouldn't have made such a mistake. How could she have made such a low-level mistake? When she left the examination room, she felt regretful. kind of question.
I explained the situation to the coach on WeChat, and the coach said it was okay, as long as I paid the make-up exam fee and continued to apply for the exam, there are five chances in total, so I won’t fail all of them.
The supplementary exam fee is not cheap, it is Lu Ming's part-time salary for a day, she feels that it is caused by her own fault, in short, she is very regretful and blames herself.
On the way out of the examination room, some people were happy and some were worried, some were even more exaggerated. They had already failed the test four times, squatting on the edge of the flower bed and crying loudly. Of course, most of the people had joy on their faces. Smiling, Lu Ming even met a group of people who practiced with her. They all passed. She was embarrassed to talk about her results and walked away quickly.
After coming out, Lu Ming looked down at her phone, wondering how to get back by car, but a car in front drove towards her and honked its horn twice.
Lu Ming raised her head in shock, "Sister, haven't you left yet?"
"Please, the exam location is so far away, how could I leave you here alone, get in the car quickly." Qi Nan urged by patting the window.
Lu Ming paused, had no choice but to get into the car, closed the door and sat down, and asked doubtfully, "Did senior sister not leave?"
"Yeah, I'm waiting for you, I'm so bored, by the way, how was your exam?" Qi Nansheng asked.
Lu Ming shook her head embarrassingly: "I haven't passed twice, I have to make up the exam."
"It's okay, what's the matter? I took the second exam three times and the third exam four times. I just didn't believe in evil. I finally got my driver's license. Look, I'm still driving now." Qi Nansheng comforted her explain.
Lu Ming pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything more, but speaking of it, she has always been excellent in both academics and exams, but it was the first time she failed the exam today, and it still somewhat affected her heart.
"Senior sister, I really troubled you today." Lu Ming said embarrassingly.
"It's okay, why are you being so polite to me." Qi Nansheng said while driving: "Is there any arrangement today, let's go out and play together, do you want to go to Disney?"
Lu Ming shook her head in embarrassment and said, "I'm going to work today..."
Disappointment flashed across Qi Nansheng's eyes, but it soon turned into a smile, and said those two words as always: "It's okay, let's go again when you have time, you haven't been to Disney yet, have you?"
Lu Ming shook her head with a smile, and suddenly asked curiously, "Is it the Disney in the cartoon?"
"That's right, there are Disneylands all over the world. We also have one in our country. It's very lively and crowded with people every day. Do you want to go?"
In fact, Lu Ming wants to go with Aunt Ji, but I don't know if Aunt Ji is willing.
Qi Nansheng found that Lu Ming was alone in a daze, and he didn't answer the question he asked her just now, so he called again: "Lu Ming?"
Lu Ming came back to her senses, and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"
"I just said, do you want to go to Disneyland with me?" Qi Nansheng asked patiently again.
"I..." Lu Ming didn't know how to answer. If the senior sister confessed to herself, she would consider agreeing to this question, but now, she hopes to be able to grasp the proper measure.
If the confession fails, even if you can be friends again, the relationship will not be the same as before.
Qi Nansheng waited for a long time but did not get her answer, so he smiled wryly and comforted himself: "It's okay, you don't need to rush to give me the answer, just think about it slowly, even if you don't want to go with me, it doesn't matter."
"Sister, I..."
"You don't need to comfort me, I'm fine." Qi Nansheng interrupted what she was going to say, and quickly said: "Where is the shop where you work, I'll take you there."
"You don't need to bother me, senior, just drop me off in the downtown area. It's very convenient for me to go by car."
"Please don't say that it doesn't bother me anymore. Do you think it's easier for me to drive you with four wheels, or it's easier for you to walk on two legs. If you keep being polite to me like this, I will be angry, and the consequences will be serious."
Seeing what the other party said, Lu Ming couldn't insist on saying anything else. Sometimes she would wonder if what she did was right or not, but if she broke up with the other party just because she had confessed to her, wouldn't she be too ruthless? .
But the senior sister treated her so well, which made her feel at a loss, even though she had tried her best to refuse.
She hopes that senior sister can find her true love one day, in that case, they will still be good friends.
"It turns out that you work part-time near the school, which is very good." Qi Nansheng drove Lu Ming to the neighborhood and said.
"Thank you senior, I'll get off first then."
"Go, bye." Qi Nansheng raised his hand and waved at her.
Lu Ming also waved in response, and then walked quickly into the coffee shop. The atmosphere of the whole shop gave people a dull feeling. Lu Ming didn't come over last week, and neither did she because of Aunt Jingning's affairs. Mood to come here to work.
The store manager, Li Huiqing, arranged a job for her with a blank face. The sudden dullness made Lu Ming feel a little uncomfortable, but she still obediently went to work, and she didn't ask too many things that she shouldn't ask.
In fact, Li Huiqing was worried about Ji's family. Lu Ming didn't know that the owner of this store was Ji Youqing, so naturally he didn't understand why the store manager was in such a bad mood.
Maybe people are unlucky enough to drink cold water and get stuck in their teeth. After failing the driving test in the morning, Lu Ming made a mistake while doing things in the store. It caused a series of troubles, and the guest was very dissatisfied. In the end, Li Huiqing came forward and gave her a small dessert, which calmed down the guest's anger.
Then, Li Huiqing asked other employees to replace Lu Ming as the cashier, and called her aside to talk.
"What's going on with you today, how could you make such a low-level mistake."
"Sorry store manager, it was my mistake, the loss should be deducted from my salary." Lu Ming bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Seeing her sincerity, Li Huiqing had no choice but to say: "Forget it, let's not take this as an example. I see that you are absent-minded. If you feel uncomfortable, don't do anything today, go back and rest."
"No, I can still do it. Manager, please don't drive me away. I will work hard. I really need this money." Lu Ming begged.
"I'm not going to drive you away, forget it, you can do the cleaning work today, and I won't let you do other things."
"Thank you, manager!" Lu Ming nodded gratefully.
In the store today, there were many times when Li Huiqing couldn't help but want to ask Lu Ming how the boss's situation was, and she must have had a hard time when something happened to her sister, but every time This time, Li Huiqing endured it all, and spent a whole day here, until she let Lu Ming leave after get off work, and she calmed down a little. She is just a store manager, and she only needs to do her own job well. Since that incident, the boss has never contacted her, nor said that there is any arrangement, and in fact, he doesn't want her to interfere with anything.
Today has passed like this.
Lu Ming left the store with her bag on her back and walked alone on the quiet sidewalk. Because of the holiday, this road was much less crowded than usual. It was already a bit cold in November night, so she wrapped her jacket tightly. Putting on a coat, walking quickly, and met a young couple on the way, who looked like students from a nearby university, the two snuggled together to keep warm, the girl smiled and leaned on the boy's shoulder, Lu Ming couldn't help but picture this scene in his mind She imagined herself and Aunt Ji, but then reality quickly poured cold water on her.
She and Aunt Ji seem to be unable to do this in height, and suddenly feel that they are so short, why don't they grow ten centimeters taller, so that they can be big girls for Aunt Ji to cuddle with!
On the way back to school, Lu Ming bought a pancake fruit at a small stall at the corner of the road. There was no such thing in her hometown. She only saw it after she went to university. After eating, she went up the stairs. There were only a few lights in the corridor on the first floor of her dormitory. She opened the door, turned on the light, and locked the door. Lu Ming left her mobile phone and schoolbag and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
On the way to take a bath, I vaguely heard the phone ringing. I was worried that it was Aunt Ji's phone. Lu Ming rubbed it randomly and rushed out to check it. It turned out that it was a call from Sister Xia Yi. Lu Ming hurriedly called her back and waited for a while. Seconds later, the other party answered the call.
"Hello, Miss Xia Yi."
"Lu Ming, didn't you go to the training class I introduced to you?" Xia Yi asked doubtfully.
"I..." Lu Ming didn't know how to explain.
"What's the matter, is there a problem?"
"No, I looked at the tuition fees of the course that day, and I can't afford it for the time being. I'm sorry, sister Xia Yi, and I'll trouble you for helping me."
"Oh, what a big deal, let me help you sign up."
"No, no, no, no, sister Xia Yi."
"Don't you want to learn?"
"I think..." Lu Ming lowered her head, and her voice gradually lost her confidence, "But I also know myself, it's not something I can afford at this stage, so I don't want to learn it for now."
Basic courses of several thousand yuan, followed by intermediate and advanced courses, cost tens of thousands of yuan. Lu Ming knows what kind of family she is, and she will not spend her parents' hard-earned money at will.
"It's okay, I'll borrow it from you." Xia Yi said straightforwardly.
"Ah?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, but subconsciously didn't react.
"I said I'll borrow it from you, and you can pay me back anytime, how about it?"
"That's not good..."
"Why, are you afraid that you won't pay it back, or you can't pay it back? I, the borrowed person, don't worry about it. What do you worry about borrowing money?" Xia Yi smiled.
"But such a sum of money... I don't know when I will be able to pay it back." Lu Ming didn't dare to think about borrowing money at all, and she was also a person who never asked anyone to borrow money.
"I'm not in a hurry, it's only a few thousand dollars. I work in Sister Youqing's company, and they pay me tens of thousands a month. This amount of money is just a little rain for me. At worst, you will have the ability to make money after graduation. Give it back to me." Xia Yi said disapprovingly, but to her, it doesn't matter if she doesn't pay it back, relying on her friendship with the two sisters of the Ji family.
Hearing what she said, Lu Ming began to feel a little bit moved. If she made money after working, she should be able to pay it back soon.
"Hurry up and think about it, don't come when you can't miss it." Xia Yi urged on the other end of the phone.
"Okay! I'll borrow..." Lu Ming agreed without hesitation.
"However, how do you calculate the interest for the past few years, sister Xia Yi." Lu Ming couldn't help asking again.
"Interest? Oh, forget it, can I charge you interest, just pay back the principal." Xia Yi didn't expect the child to be so serious that he even considered interest with her.
"No, you have to pay interest for borrowing money, otherwise I won't feel at ease holding the money." Lu Ming insisted.
"Then let's talk about it at that time. On the day you can afford me, we will sit down and discuss how to calculate the interest." Xia Yi said.
"Row."
"Then I won't talk to you for now, I'll buy the course for you and send it to you." After Xia Yi finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
Lu Ming's heart is still beating so far. Learning this will be a lot of money, but if it comes in handy, even if you have to work to pay it back, it is worth it.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming quickly took out a stack of letter paper from the drawer, picked up a pen and wrote two large characters on the first line: IOU.
Then come to the first two blanks of the second line and write: On November 2020, 11, Lu Ming borrowed 14 yuan from Xia Yi to buy basic Sanda courses...
In the end, Lu Ming not only signed her name, but even drew her own handprint. She filled the pad of her index finger with a red pen and pressed it. It still looks the same.
Then Lu Ming took a picture of it and sent it to Sister Xia Yi's WeChat, and the other party replied to her after a while.
Xia Yi: [Laughing and crying.jpg][Laughing and crying.jpg][Laughing and crying.jpg]
Xia Yi: You kid is too serious, you even issued the IOUs neatly.
Xia Yi: There are signatures and handprints 233333, you are so funny hahaha.
Lu Ming: [embarrassed.jpg] I'm serious, sister Xia Yi, don't laugh at me.
Xia Yi: Pfft, I don't laugh at you anymore, it was a small matter, but you made it so formal.
Lu Ming: 6000 yuan is no small matter.
Xia Yi: Alright, then you should practice hard. If that’s the case, don’t waste these courses. I asked my coach friend. If you study hard, after the basic courses are completed, your ability will have a significant hint. I mean fighting On the one hand, ahem.
Lu Ming didn't want to fight, but just wanted to make herself capable of protecting Aunt Ji.
Lu Ming: By the way, sister Xia Yi, do you know how to visit Aunt Jingning?
Xia Yi: You mean to visit?
Xia Yi: I don’t know about this yet. It seems that only immediate family members are allowed. I’ll try to apply. I’ll go with you when the time comes.
Lu Ming: Well, good!
Speaking of Aunt Jingning, it must be very hard for Lu Ming not to know how she is doing now, especially when she is seriously ill.
As for how the verdict will be, Lu Ming does not know. The senior sister of the law major in the student union told her that in this case, the prisoner will not be sent to an ordinary prison. Transferred to other places to raise, there are basically sick people who have committed crimes, some are psychological, some are physical, and they will also be guarded by prison guards. Better yet, there will be a medical team stationed at any time to deal with emergencies.
Lying on the bed and thinking about it now, Aunt Jing Ning really treated her very well, just like a mother. Speaking of which, she happened to be about the same age as Lu Ming’s mother, and Aunt Jing Ning was slightly older because she married early and had children Earlier, Lu Ming's mother was between Aunt Ji and Aunt Jing Ning, three years older than Aunt Ji and three years younger than Aunt Jing Ning.
She raised her phone and couldn't help opening Aunt Jingning's circle of friends. The latest post was two weeks ago. At the dinner party that night, she sent a group photo with everyone, drinks, and dishes. Under the dazzling light, the red wine in the goblet glistened with luster.
Lu Ming suddenly thought that this WeChat account would never update Moments again, and she felt even more sad in her heart, and a burst of sourness rushed to the tip of her nose, with mixed flavors that were indescribable.
Similarly, the chat history between Lu Ming and Aunt Jingning also stayed on that Friday morning. Aunt Jingning asked her to go to her house for dinner after school in the evening, and Lu Ming readily agreed.
Even though it is impossible for Aunt Jingning to see these words now, Lu Ming still wants to tell her, just as a listener who can’t reply, Lu Ming sent a message to Ji Jingning’s WeChat with her mobile phone in her arms, mustering up her courage, Lu Ming tried to speak to her in a normal voice, and tried not to involve her in jail.
Lu Ming: Hi, Aunt Jingning, I haven't seen you for a while.Today I did not pass the third subject exam, I am really ashamed of your trust, but I will make persistent efforts and strive to pass next time!One more thing...I moved back to the school dormitory from Aunt Ji's house last week. I was really not used to it at first, and I couldn't sleep well at night. Will it be fine.
I can understand that Aunt Ji is not in a good state, so no matter how she treats me, I will not be angry. Although sometimes my chest still hurts when I hear those sad words, but liking someone is not always sweet, Bitter and sweet is love, isn't it?
AD4
Just like growing up, the process of growing up is not always smooth sailing. I believe that people who work hard will not have bad luck. Aunt Ji will accept me one day, right? What do you think, Aunt Jingning.
It's a bit late today, I'm going to rest, and I'll continue to work tomorrow, Aunt Jingning should go to bed early too, bye.
Lu Ming sent a lot of messages by herself, as if she was talking to herself. Although Aunt Jingning would not see these, she still felt that she had found a window to confide in, and it made her feel a lot better to say those words.
Putting down the phone, Lu Ming lay down and went to sleep.
On the other end of the phone, Ji Youqing was leaning against the window, holding the phone in her hand. There were many messages from Lu Ming on the screen, and she read them all one by one.
It was also a coincidence that my sister handed her the mobile phone to her after she was imprisoned, saying that there were many years of customers in it who asked her to transfer it. Ji Youqing also knew the password lock, and unexpectedly received a message from Lu Ming. Just watched quietly, didn't speak, didn't reply anything, pretending that it was really just a mobile phone that no one replied and no one saw.
In the next week, Lu Ming went to practice driving after class in the afternoon as usual. Although the students who practiced this time were all new faces, only Lu Ming, a repeater, was relieved by the coach. It's easy to get a driver's license. Lu Ming is not worried that she won't get it. She is just worried that she will encounter unexpected situations again. The fee for making up the exam is not a small amount for her, it is enough for a week's living expenses.
On the day of the exam, Lu Ming chose to spend a little more to take the school bus, which was more expensive than taking the bus or subway, but at least she didn’t have to bother Senior Nan Sheng, because she said she was coming to see her off again, which was also a kind of ego Choose to avoid it.
Most of the students in the car were quite nervous, but they were very happy to ask the "old man" Lu Ming for advice. In fact, Lu Ming didn't have any experience. She smiled embarrassedly. All she had was experience of failure. In the end, they booed and said that they just wanted to hear the experience of failure, so as to avoid it, Lu Ming: ...
In this exam, Lu Ming learned from the experience of the previous exam, and she didn't encounter any difficult exam vehicles. She passed the exam smoothly. On the way back, she couldn't help posting a circle of friends, which received a lot of likes. Didn't like her like usual, but Lu Ming thought she must have seen it, as long as she saw it.
The next thing is subject four, no need to go to the wind and sun to practice the car anymore, Lu Ming will practice the set of simulated questions in the dormitory every night, brush up the wrong set of questions, and so on. By the night before the exam, she has already Basically every simulation takes 98 and [-] points.
The driver's license can be obtained on the day after the subject four test is completed, and it is already the end of November by this time.
Lu Ming came out of the examination room with a small green notebook and walked towards the bus of the driving school, holding a mobile phone in her hand to talk to her mother at home.
"Mingming, the weather is getting cold now, do you have enough clothes to wear? I'll give you some money to let you buy two thick new clothes."
"I don't need mom, I have enough clothes, and I'm working on weekends, so I'll buy them myself." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Silly boy, why are you working so hard? My father and I earn money for you. You can just study at school."
Lu Ming still smiled, and then changed the subject: "Are you busy at home recently?"
"It's already winter, there's nothing to do. Yesterday, you and your dad were busy all day and arranged the vegetable garden in the backyard of the house, planted some daily vegetables, and the spinach you like to eat, waiting for you to come over during the winter vacation You can pick them for hot pot!"
"Yeah!" Lu Ming smiled and nodded, drooling just thinking about it, "It's almost there, I can go home in more than a month."
"Take care of yourself outside, and tell your family when you run out of money. Mom and Dad miss you very much."
"You should take care of your health too. Don't work too hard. I will take care of myself. Mom, I'll get in the car first, so I won't tell you."
Before getting into the car, Lu Ming hung up the phone.
Before coming to school in S City, Lu Ming never thought that the autumn here would be so short, as if the summer had just ended, and winter would seamlessly merge in just a blink of an eye, but the winter here is almost the same as at home , clammy and clammy.
It was December in a blink of an eye, and most people on campus were wrapped in thick winter clothes. The cold drinks in the school milk tea shop were also replaced with hot drinks, and the business was as hot as ever.
According to Lu Ming's seniors and sisters in the student union, this year's winter vacation will roughly start around No. 20 in mid-to-late January. It looks like ten days.
This semester went by really fast.
Lu Ming has been waiting for news from Miss Xia Yi, and finally, after class that day, she received her WeChat message.
Xia Yi: I have an appointment, on Sunday this week, but the visiting time is only one hour, which is the longest time I can get.
Lu Ming: Then when will we set off that day!
Xia Yi: Come on early, I will pick you up at school then.
On the weekend, Lu Ming asked the store manager Li Huiqing for leave. In the dormitory, she got up early to tidy herself up. Her hair has grown a lot, and she can tie it into a ponytail. She dipped her fingers in water and smoothed it out. The messy eyebrows are immediately pleasing to the eye.
Sister Xia Yi's phone call has already come.
"I'm downstairs, how are you?"
"Right away, 1 minute!" Lu Ming hurriedly grabbed her phone and keys and sprinted downstairs.
Xia Yi still has neat short hair. If you only look at it from the back, you may not be able to recognize it as a girl. I thought it was some idol who suddenly appeared in their school. When Lu Ming went downstairs, she happened to see Miss Xia Yi Talking to a girl, the other party smiled and waved away, Lu Ming stepped forward curiously: "Sister Xia Yi, you guys know each other."
"I don't know." Xia Yi shrugged, curled her lips and said relaxedly: "She took the initiative to ask me for WeChat, and then I will give it."
This……
Lu Ming twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and changed the subject with a smile: "Have you had breakfast? The fried buns in our school are very delicious."
"Well~ I'm not in a hurry to come here in the morning, or else you can invite me." Xia Yi teased with a smile.
"No problem!" Lu Ming readily agreed.
The two ordered breakfast in the school cafeteria, and when Lu Ming picked up the meal card and was about to swipe it, she heard a "ding" behind her, and when she looked back, Xia Yi, who was half a head taller than her, had already taken the meal card. Scan the QR code with your mobile phone to pay.
"Didn't you agree that I invited you?" Lu Ming was a little dumbfounded.
"Just talking, how can I ask you to pay, you are a student, and I have been working for several years."
After breakfast, they set off together. Xia Yi drove the car and said, "That place is a bit far away. It takes at least two hours to drive outside the city."
Lu Ming took a long breath: "I don't know how Aunt Jingning is doing, whether she will be bullied."
"That's not true. I've inquired about it. They have a room for each person, but the room is very small, with a small window and a very strong door." Xia Yi said.
Lu Ming silently nodded her head to express her understanding. She and Xia Yi didn't have any pleasant conversations on the way. After all, this atmosphere is here. If you are joking, you don't feel very respectful to Aunt Jingning.
While Xia Yi was driving, the cell phone in the car rang suddenly, she didn't look at it and said directly: "Can you help me find out what it is?"
"Oh, okay." Lu Ming picked up her mobile phone, and saw a message from Aunt Ji displayed on the lit screen, and Sister Xia Yi's note was Sister You Qing.
"You took her there?" Just five words plus a question mark.
"Who sent the message." Xia Yi asked while driving the car.
Lu Ming froze for a moment before answering: "It's Aunt Ji's news."
At this time, Xia Yi glanced this way, and didn't ask any more questions, but just asked her to put down the phone, and Lu Ming did so. She turned her head and looked out the window and couldn't help thinking, the "her" that Aunt Ji was referring to ", is it yourself?
Two hours later, they arrived at the so-called "nursing home".
When I first arrived at the gate, the first impression I had when I looked around was a bit like an old hospital during World War II. Due to the winter, the lawn inside was covered with yellow withered grass, and there were police officers wearing uniforms and holding guns outside the gate. There are also doctors in white coats inside. In short, the feeling of this place is not so clear. After all, this place can be regarded as a "prison". The transfer came here.
Xia Yi walked in front and after showing the relevant documents, the people at the door let the two of them in, and they didn't just walk around casually. They were led by a special person, and they also carried guns with them.
"You only have one hour, it's ten o'clock in the morning, and you have to leave at eleven o'clock."
"understood."
"Understood." Lu Ming and Xia Yi replied one by one.
Walking into a building, I met two people wearing prison uniforms and being pushed out by nurses in wheelchairs. Their eye sockets were sunken, their cheeks were thin, and their gazes were like the bottom of a deep pool. In short, they were very negative. The feeling of not being able to see hope, in fact, Lu Ming is quite afraid to see Aunt Jingning will be like this later, such a strong woman in the workplace will not tolerate her decadent appearance.
"You are here." The man opened a door for them, then walked away, sat on a chair not far away and waited, which can be regarded as supervision.
Xia Yi and Lu Ming pushed the door together and went in. The room is really small, and you can see the end at a glance. The bed is also a small single bed, a small table, a stool, and there is a separate bathroom inside, too. Small, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the size of a palm.
And when they first entered, Ji Jingning was sitting at the table, looking at the mirror as if fiddled with something.
"Sister Jingning, Lu Ming and I came to see you." Xia Yi took the initiative to speak.
"Aunt Jingning." Lu Ming called out.
Ji Jingning turned her head when she heard the sound, and said with a slight smile, "I don't think it's that bad. I asked the nurse on duty here for some cosmetics. I know you are coming over today."
Ji Jingning specially put on makeup on herself, but even so, it still couldn't completely cover her sick appearance. Her appearance was much worse than when I saw her a month ago, and she had lost more than half of her weight.
Lu Ming couldn't bear it, and said with a flat mouth: "Aunt Jingning, you have lost a lot of weight."
"It's normal, I've never seen a person with cancer gain weight." Ji Jingning said calmly, then glanced at the two of them, and said with a helpless smile: "Sit on the bed, I don't have any place for you to sit here. "
"Let's just stand." Lu Ming just blurted out when Xia Yi tugged at his sleeves.
"It's okay, the eldest sister let us sit, let's go and sit."
After seeing them sit down by the bed, Ji Jingning, who was sitting on the stool, slowly turned to face them, with a smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to come to see me, I'm really happy."
"Sister, look at what you said, can we not come to see you, but it's too difficult for us non-family members to make an appointment, and it's not easy to come here once, are you okay here?" Xia Yi asked.
"It's alright, some food and some drink, and there will be a special person to check your body every day and supervise you to take medicine, which is much more thoughtful than living alone." Ji Jingning said with a smile.
But Lu Ming couldn't laugh. What's the point of living a life without freedom and being watched all day long?
She really felt sorry for Aunt Jingning.
Xia Yi habitually reported some work matters to her, and Ji Jingning nodded and interrupted her: "I believe You Qing has this ability, and there are you and Xie Xuan's assistants around, and Lu Ming can help soon. I'm busy at work, I'm very relieved, I'm here for a short time today, so let's not talk about work."
"Okay, good sister..." Xia Yi murmured.
At this time, Ji Jingning turned to look at Lu Ming, and asked, "How about the driver's license, have you got it?"
Lu Ming nodded: "I just got it last week."
"Very well, I really didn't misread you." Ji Jingning paused and asked again, "How are you and Yu Qing doing? Is there any progress?"
When this topic was mentioned suddenly, even Xia Yi couldn't help but glanced at Lu Ming's expression. Lu Ming lowered his head slightly and tried to smile and said, "Aunt Ji and I are on good terms." The reason for not telling the truth, It was because she didn't want Aunt Jingning to worry about her.
"Whether you're telling the truth or a lie, don't lie to me, you can't hide anything from my eyes." But Ji Jingning directly exposed her, maybe Lu Ming is really not good at lying.
Lu Ming directly raised her head and said, "In this situation, I can understand Aunt Ji's mood very well, so... I will wait for her."
"She has come to see me several times, and I know that I am sorry for her decision. From her state, I have guessed something. This girl has fallen into self-isolation again. Give her some time and it will be fine. "Ji Jingning murmured.
"Again?" Lu Ming was a little curious and raised doubts.
Xia Yi, who was sitting by the side, was naturally curious, and was ready to listen.
"This matter started 18 years ago. At that time, You Qing was studying in middle school and was at the age of rebellion. In addition, because of poor health, he often missed school activities, and his relationship with his classmates was also so-so. From time to time, she was ridiculed and teased by the boys behind her back. At that time, she would always say that she didn’t want to study anymore, didn’t want to go to school, etc. But the good times didn’t last long, and my parents had an accident. I went to the school to find her to inform The news of the death, that afternoon Youqing sat in the co-pilot and cried very sadly. After that incident, she began to close herself, not talking to anyone, rejecting the people around her, rejecting everyone's favor, the whole person Negative and pessimistic."
"Aunt Ji...how did you get out of that?" Lu Ming couldn't help asking.
Ji Jingning lowered her head and smiled, "Time is a good medicine. After being self-isolated for a year, she suddenly came out one day, and suddenly pestered me to take her to a newly opened restaurant in the city center. Ice cream parlors eat ice cream."
Lu Ming couldn't help laughing after hearing this, it turned out that Aunt Ji was so cute when she was a child.
"Then, this time, won't it take a year?" Xia Yi couldn't help asking, the sister Youqing she meets every day in the company is really scary, she is too serious, she misses that gentleness Soft boss sister.
"No." Ji Jingning shook her head and answered very firmly.
After finishing speaking, Ji Jingning looked at Lu Ming who was silent at the side, and called out: "Lu Ming."
"I'm here, Aunt Jingning, tell me." Lu Ming raised her head quickly.
"This little sister of mine is in your hands. You have to grow up quickly, walk side by side with her, walk hand in hand, support each other, and grow old together." Ji Jingning's words are very solemn, just Even Xia Yi who was sitting next to Lu Ming couldn't help standing up, stretching her upper body.
Lu Ming nodded, "I will definitely."
"Well, I believe you have this ability." Ji Jingning smiled, very relieved, and then said: "I may not have much time, there are some things I want to explain to you two."
"Aunt Jingning, don't say such things, maybe a miracle will happen."
"Yes, yes, elder sister, don't say that, it's too sad."
"This is the reality," Ji Jingning paused and said, "There will be no miracles on my body."
She felt that she shouldn't have made such a mistake. How could she have made such a low-level mistake? When she left the examination room, she felt regretful. kind of question.
I explained the situation to the coach on WeChat, and the coach said it was okay, as long as I paid the make-up exam fee and continued to apply for the exam, there are five chances in total, so I won’t fail all of them.
The supplementary exam fee is not cheap, it is Lu Ming's part-time salary for a day, she feels that it is caused by her own fault, in short, she is very regretful and blames herself.
On the way out of the examination room, some people were happy and some were worried, some were even more exaggerated. They had already failed the test four times, squatting on the edge of the flower bed and crying loudly. Of course, most of the people had joy on their faces. Smiling, Lu Ming even met a group of people who practiced with her. They all passed. She was embarrassed to talk about her results and walked away quickly.
After coming out, Lu Ming looked down at her phone, wondering how to get back by car, but a car in front drove towards her and honked its horn twice.
Lu Ming raised her head in shock, "Sister, haven't you left yet?"
"Please, the exam location is so far away, how could I leave you here alone, get in the car quickly." Qi Nan urged by patting the window.
Lu Ming paused, had no choice but to get into the car, closed the door and sat down, and asked doubtfully, "Did senior sister not leave?"
"Yeah, I'm waiting for you, I'm so bored, by the way, how was your exam?" Qi Nansheng asked.
Lu Ming shook her head embarrassingly: "I haven't passed twice, I have to make up the exam."
"It's okay, what's the matter? I took the second exam three times and the third exam four times. I just didn't believe in evil. I finally got my driver's license. Look, I'm still driving now." Qi Nansheng comforted her explain.
Lu Ming pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything more, but speaking of it, she has always been excellent in both academics and exams, but it was the first time she failed the exam today, and it still somewhat affected her heart.
"Senior sister, I really troubled you today." Lu Ming said embarrassingly.
"It's okay, why are you being so polite to me." Qi Nansheng said while driving: "Is there any arrangement today, let's go out and play together, do you want to go to Disney?"
Lu Ming shook her head in embarrassment and said, "I'm going to work today..."
Disappointment flashed across Qi Nansheng's eyes, but it soon turned into a smile, and said those two words as always: "It's okay, let's go again when you have time, you haven't been to Disney yet, have you?"
Lu Ming shook her head with a smile, and suddenly asked curiously, "Is it the Disney in the cartoon?"
"That's right, there are Disneylands all over the world. We also have one in our country. It's very lively and crowded with people every day. Do you want to go?"
In fact, Lu Ming wants to go with Aunt Ji, but I don't know if Aunt Ji is willing.
Qi Nansheng found that Lu Ming was alone in a daze, and he didn't answer the question he asked her just now, so he called again: "Lu Ming?"
Lu Ming came back to her senses, and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"
"I just said, do you want to go to Disneyland with me?" Qi Nansheng asked patiently again.
"I..." Lu Ming didn't know how to answer. If the senior sister confessed to herself, she would consider agreeing to this question, but now, she hopes to be able to grasp the proper measure.
If the confession fails, even if you can be friends again, the relationship will not be the same as before.
Qi Nansheng waited for a long time but did not get her answer, so he smiled wryly and comforted himself: "It's okay, you don't need to rush to give me the answer, just think about it slowly, even if you don't want to go with me, it doesn't matter."
"Sister, I..."
"You don't need to comfort me, I'm fine." Qi Nansheng interrupted what she was going to say, and quickly said: "Where is the shop where you work, I'll take you there."
"You don't need to bother me, senior, just drop me off in the downtown area. It's very convenient for me to go by car."
"Please don't say that it doesn't bother me anymore. Do you think it's easier for me to drive you with four wheels, or it's easier for you to walk on two legs. If you keep being polite to me like this, I will be angry, and the consequences will be serious."
Seeing what the other party said, Lu Ming couldn't insist on saying anything else. Sometimes she would wonder if what she did was right or not, but if she broke up with the other party just because she had confessed to her, wouldn't she be too ruthless? .
But the senior sister treated her so well, which made her feel at a loss, even though she had tried her best to refuse.
She hopes that senior sister can find her true love one day, in that case, they will still be good friends.
"It turns out that you work part-time near the school, which is very good." Qi Nansheng drove Lu Ming to the neighborhood and said.
"Thank you senior, I'll get off first then."
"Go, bye." Qi Nansheng raised his hand and waved at her.
Lu Ming also waved in response, and then walked quickly into the coffee shop. The atmosphere of the whole shop gave people a dull feeling. Lu Ming didn't come over last week, and neither did she because of Aunt Jingning's affairs. Mood to come here to work.
The store manager, Li Huiqing, arranged a job for her with a blank face. The sudden dullness made Lu Ming feel a little uncomfortable, but she still obediently went to work, and she didn't ask too many things that she shouldn't ask.
In fact, Li Huiqing was worried about Ji's family. Lu Ming didn't know that the owner of this store was Ji Youqing, so naturally he didn't understand why the store manager was in such a bad mood.
Maybe people are unlucky enough to drink cold water and get stuck in their teeth. After failing the driving test in the morning, Lu Ming made a mistake while doing things in the store. It caused a series of troubles, and the guest was very dissatisfied. In the end, Li Huiqing came forward and gave her a small dessert, which calmed down the guest's anger.
Then, Li Huiqing asked other employees to replace Lu Ming as the cashier, and called her aside to talk.
"What's going on with you today, how could you make such a low-level mistake."
"Sorry store manager, it was my mistake, the loss should be deducted from my salary." Lu Ming bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Seeing her sincerity, Li Huiqing had no choice but to say: "Forget it, let's not take this as an example. I see that you are absent-minded. If you feel uncomfortable, don't do anything today, go back and rest."
"No, I can still do it. Manager, please don't drive me away. I will work hard. I really need this money." Lu Ming begged.
"I'm not going to drive you away, forget it, you can do the cleaning work today, and I won't let you do other things."
"Thank you, manager!" Lu Ming nodded gratefully.
In the store today, there were many times when Li Huiqing couldn't help but want to ask Lu Ming how the boss's situation was, and she must have had a hard time when something happened to her sister, but every time This time, Li Huiqing endured it all, and spent a whole day here, until she let Lu Ming leave after get off work, and she calmed down a little. She is just a store manager, and she only needs to do her own job well. Since that incident, the boss has never contacted her, nor said that there is any arrangement, and in fact, he doesn't want her to interfere with anything.
Today has passed like this.
Lu Ming left the store with her bag on her back and walked alone on the quiet sidewalk. Because of the holiday, this road was much less crowded than usual. It was already a bit cold in November night, so she wrapped her jacket tightly. Putting on a coat, walking quickly, and met a young couple on the way, who looked like students from a nearby university, the two snuggled together to keep warm, the girl smiled and leaned on the boy's shoulder, Lu Ming couldn't help but picture this scene in his mind She imagined herself and Aunt Ji, but then reality quickly poured cold water on her.
She and Aunt Ji seem to be unable to do this in height, and suddenly feel that they are so short, why don't they grow ten centimeters taller, so that they can be big girls for Aunt Ji to cuddle with!
On the way back to school, Lu Ming bought a pancake fruit at a small stall at the corner of the road. There was no such thing in her hometown. She only saw it after she went to university. After eating, she went up the stairs. There were only a few lights in the corridor on the first floor of her dormitory. She opened the door, turned on the light, and locked the door. Lu Ming left her mobile phone and schoolbag and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
On the way to take a bath, I vaguely heard the phone ringing. I was worried that it was Aunt Ji's phone. Lu Ming rubbed it randomly and rushed out to check it. It turned out that it was a call from Sister Xia Yi. Lu Ming hurriedly called her back and waited for a while. Seconds later, the other party answered the call.
"Hello, Miss Xia Yi."
"Lu Ming, didn't you go to the training class I introduced to you?" Xia Yi asked doubtfully.
"I..." Lu Ming didn't know how to explain.
"What's the matter, is there a problem?"
"No, I looked at the tuition fees of the course that day, and I can't afford it for the time being. I'm sorry, sister Xia Yi, and I'll trouble you for helping me."
"Oh, what a big deal, let me help you sign up."
"No, no, no, no, sister Xia Yi."
"Don't you want to learn?"
"I think..." Lu Ming lowered her head, and her voice gradually lost her confidence, "But I also know myself, it's not something I can afford at this stage, so I don't want to learn it for now."
Basic courses of several thousand yuan, followed by intermediate and advanced courses, cost tens of thousands of yuan. Lu Ming knows what kind of family she is, and she will not spend her parents' hard-earned money at will.
"It's okay, I'll borrow it from you." Xia Yi said straightforwardly.
"Ah?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, but subconsciously didn't react.
"I said I'll borrow it from you, and you can pay me back anytime, how about it?"
"That's not good..."
"Why, are you afraid that you won't pay it back, or you can't pay it back? I, the borrowed person, don't worry about it. What do you worry about borrowing money?" Xia Yi smiled.
"But such a sum of money... I don't know when I will be able to pay it back." Lu Ming didn't dare to think about borrowing money at all, and she was also a person who never asked anyone to borrow money.
"I'm not in a hurry, it's only a few thousand dollars. I work in Sister Youqing's company, and they pay me tens of thousands a month. This amount of money is just a little rain for me. At worst, you will have the ability to make money after graduation. Give it back to me." Xia Yi said disapprovingly, but to her, it doesn't matter if she doesn't pay it back, relying on her friendship with the two sisters of the Ji family.
Hearing what she said, Lu Ming began to feel a little bit moved. If she made money after working, she should be able to pay it back soon.
"Hurry up and think about it, don't come when you can't miss it." Xia Yi urged on the other end of the phone.
"Okay! I'll borrow..." Lu Ming agreed without hesitation.
"However, how do you calculate the interest for the past few years, sister Xia Yi." Lu Ming couldn't help asking again.
"Interest? Oh, forget it, can I charge you interest, just pay back the principal." Xia Yi didn't expect the child to be so serious that he even considered interest with her.
"No, you have to pay interest for borrowing money, otherwise I won't feel at ease holding the money." Lu Ming insisted.
"Then let's talk about it at that time. On the day you can afford me, we will sit down and discuss how to calculate the interest." Xia Yi said.
"Row."
"Then I won't talk to you for now, I'll buy the course for you and send it to you." After Xia Yi finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
Lu Ming's heart is still beating so far. Learning this will be a lot of money, but if it comes in handy, even if you have to work to pay it back, it is worth it.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming quickly took out a stack of letter paper from the drawer, picked up a pen and wrote two large characters on the first line: IOU.
Then come to the first two blanks of the second line and write: On November 2020, 11, Lu Ming borrowed 14 yuan from Xia Yi to buy basic Sanda courses...
In the end, Lu Ming not only signed her name, but even drew her own handprint. She filled the pad of her index finger with a red pen and pressed it. It still looks the same.
Then Lu Ming took a picture of it and sent it to Sister Xia Yi's WeChat, and the other party replied to her after a while.
Xia Yi: [Laughing and crying.jpg][Laughing and crying.jpg][Laughing and crying.jpg]
Xia Yi: You kid is too serious, you even issued the IOUs neatly.
Xia Yi: There are signatures and handprints 233333, you are so funny hahaha.
Lu Ming: [embarrassed.jpg] I'm serious, sister Xia Yi, don't laugh at me.
Xia Yi: Pfft, I don't laugh at you anymore, it was a small matter, but you made it so formal.
Lu Ming: 6000 yuan is no small matter.
Xia Yi: Alright, then you should practice hard. If that’s the case, don’t waste these courses. I asked my coach friend. If you study hard, after the basic courses are completed, your ability will have a significant hint. I mean fighting On the one hand, ahem.
Lu Ming didn't want to fight, but just wanted to make herself capable of protecting Aunt Ji.
Lu Ming: By the way, sister Xia Yi, do you know how to visit Aunt Jingning?
Xia Yi: You mean to visit?
Xia Yi: I don’t know about this yet. It seems that only immediate family members are allowed. I’ll try to apply. I’ll go with you when the time comes.
Lu Ming: Well, good!
Speaking of Aunt Jingning, it must be very hard for Lu Ming not to know how she is doing now, especially when she is seriously ill.
As for how the verdict will be, Lu Ming does not know. The senior sister of the law major in the student union told her that in this case, the prisoner will not be sent to an ordinary prison. Transferred to other places to raise, there are basically sick people who have committed crimes, some are psychological, some are physical, and they will also be guarded by prison guards. Better yet, there will be a medical team stationed at any time to deal with emergencies.
Lying on the bed and thinking about it now, Aunt Jing Ning really treated her very well, just like a mother. Speaking of which, she happened to be about the same age as Lu Ming’s mother, and Aunt Jing Ning was slightly older because she married early and had children Earlier, Lu Ming's mother was between Aunt Ji and Aunt Jing Ning, three years older than Aunt Ji and three years younger than Aunt Jing Ning.
She raised her phone and couldn't help opening Aunt Jingning's circle of friends. The latest post was two weeks ago. At the dinner party that night, she sent a group photo with everyone, drinks, and dishes. Under the dazzling light, the red wine in the goblet glistened with luster.
Lu Ming suddenly thought that this WeChat account would never update Moments again, and she felt even more sad in her heart, and a burst of sourness rushed to the tip of her nose, with mixed flavors that were indescribable.
Similarly, the chat history between Lu Ming and Aunt Jingning also stayed on that Friday morning. Aunt Jingning asked her to go to her house for dinner after school in the evening, and Lu Ming readily agreed.
Even though it is impossible for Aunt Jingning to see these words now, Lu Ming still wants to tell her, just as a listener who can’t reply, Lu Ming sent a message to Ji Jingning’s WeChat with her mobile phone in her arms, mustering up her courage, Lu Ming tried to speak to her in a normal voice, and tried not to involve her in jail.
Lu Ming: Hi, Aunt Jingning, I haven't seen you for a while.Today I did not pass the third subject exam, I am really ashamed of your trust, but I will make persistent efforts and strive to pass next time!One more thing...I moved back to the school dormitory from Aunt Ji's house last week. I was really not used to it at first, and I couldn't sleep well at night. Will it be fine.
I can understand that Aunt Ji is not in a good state, so no matter how she treats me, I will not be angry. Although sometimes my chest still hurts when I hear those sad words, but liking someone is not always sweet, Bitter and sweet is love, isn't it?
AD4
Just like growing up, the process of growing up is not always smooth sailing. I believe that people who work hard will not have bad luck. Aunt Ji will accept me one day, right? What do you think, Aunt Jingning.
It's a bit late today, I'm going to rest, and I'll continue to work tomorrow, Aunt Jingning should go to bed early too, bye.
Lu Ming sent a lot of messages by herself, as if she was talking to herself. Although Aunt Jingning would not see these, she still felt that she had found a window to confide in, and it made her feel a lot better to say those words.
Putting down the phone, Lu Ming lay down and went to sleep.
On the other end of the phone, Ji Youqing was leaning against the window, holding the phone in her hand. There were many messages from Lu Ming on the screen, and she read them all one by one.
It was also a coincidence that my sister handed her the mobile phone to her after she was imprisoned, saying that there were many years of customers in it who asked her to transfer it. Ji Youqing also knew the password lock, and unexpectedly received a message from Lu Ming. Just watched quietly, didn't speak, didn't reply anything, pretending that it was really just a mobile phone that no one replied and no one saw.
In the next week, Lu Ming went to practice driving after class in the afternoon as usual. Although the students who practiced this time were all new faces, only Lu Ming, a repeater, was relieved by the coach. It's easy to get a driver's license. Lu Ming is not worried that she won't get it. She is just worried that she will encounter unexpected situations again. The fee for making up the exam is not a small amount for her, it is enough for a week's living expenses.
On the day of the exam, Lu Ming chose to spend a little more to take the school bus, which was more expensive than taking the bus or subway, but at least she didn’t have to bother Senior Nan Sheng, because she said she was coming to see her off again, which was also a kind of ego Choose to avoid it.
Most of the students in the car were quite nervous, but they were very happy to ask the "old man" Lu Ming for advice. In fact, Lu Ming didn't have any experience. She smiled embarrassedly. All she had was experience of failure. In the end, they booed and said that they just wanted to hear the experience of failure, so as to avoid it, Lu Ming: ...
In this exam, Lu Ming learned from the experience of the previous exam, and she didn't encounter any difficult exam vehicles. She passed the exam smoothly. On the way back, she couldn't help posting a circle of friends, which received a lot of likes. Didn't like her like usual, but Lu Ming thought she must have seen it, as long as she saw it.
The next thing is subject four, no need to go to the wind and sun to practice the car anymore, Lu Ming will practice the set of simulated questions in the dormitory every night, brush up the wrong set of questions, and so on. By the night before the exam, she has already Basically every simulation takes 98 and [-] points.
The driver's license can be obtained on the day after the subject four test is completed, and it is already the end of November by this time.
Lu Ming came out of the examination room with a small green notebook and walked towards the bus of the driving school, holding a mobile phone in her hand to talk to her mother at home.
"Mingming, the weather is getting cold now, do you have enough clothes to wear? I'll give you some money to let you buy two thick new clothes."
"I don't need mom, I have enough clothes, and I'm working on weekends, so I'll buy them myself." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Silly boy, why are you working so hard? My father and I earn money for you. You can just study at school."
Lu Ming still smiled, and then changed the subject: "Are you busy at home recently?"
"It's already winter, there's nothing to do. Yesterday, you and your dad were busy all day and arranged the vegetable garden in the backyard of the house, planted some daily vegetables, and the spinach you like to eat, waiting for you to come over during the winter vacation You can pick them for hot pot!"
"Yeah!" Lu Ming smiled and nodded, drooling just thinking about it, "It's almost there, I can go home in more than a month."
"Take care of yourself outside, and tell your family when you run out of money. Mom and Dad miss you very much."
"You should take care of your health too. Don't work too hard. I will take care of myself. Mom, I'll get in the car first, so I won't tell you."
Before getting into the car, Lu Ming hung up the phone.
Before coming to school in S City, Lu Ming never thought that the autumn here would be so short, as if the summer had just ended, and winter would seamlessly merge in just a blink of an eye, but the winter here is almost the same as at home , clammy and clammy.
It was December in a blink of an eye, and most people on campus were wrapped in thick winter clothes. The cold drinks in the school milk tea shop were also replaced with hot drinks, and the business was as hot as ever.
According to Lu Ming's seniors and sisters in the student union, this year's winter vacation will roughly start around No. 20 in mid-to-late January. It looks like ten days.
This semester went by really fast.
Lu Ming has been waiting for news from Miss Xia Yi, and finally, after class that day, she received her WeChat message.
Xia Yi: I have an appointment, on Sunday this week, but the visiting time is only one hour, which is the longest time I can get.
Lu Ming: Then when will we set off that day!
Xia Yi: Come on early, I will pick you up at school then.
On the weekend, Lu Ming asked the store manager Li Huiqing for leave. In the dormitory, she got up early to tidy herself up. Her hair has grown a lot, and she can tie it into a ponytail. She dipped her fingers in water and smoothed it out. The messy eyebrows are immediately pleasing to the eye.
Sister Xia Yi's phone call has already come.
"I'm downstairs, how are you?"
"Right away, 1 minute!" Lu Ming hurriedly grabbed her phone and keys and sprinted downstairs.
Xia Yi still has neat short hair. If you only look at it from the back, you may not be able to recognize it as a girl. I thought it was some idol who suddenly appeared in their school. When Lu Ming went downstairs, she happened to see Miss Xia Yi Talking to a girl, the other party smiled and waved away, Lu Ming stepped forward curiously: "Sister Xia Yi, you guys know each other."
"I don't know." Xia Yi shrugged, curled her lips and said relaxedly: "She took the initiative to ask me for WeChat, and then I will give it."
This……
Lu Ming twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and changed the subject with a smile: "Have you had breakfast? The fried buns in our school are very delicious."
"Well~ I'm not in a hurry to come here in the morning, or else you can invite me." Xia Yi teased with a smile.
"No problem!" Lu Ming readily agreed.
The two ordered breakfast in the school cafeteria, and when Lu Ming picked up the meal card and was about to swipe it, she heard a "ding" behind her, and when she looked back, Xia Yi, who was half a head taller than her, had already taken the meal card. Scan the QR code with your mobile phone to pay.
"Didn't you agree that I invited you?" Lu Ming was a little dumbfounded.
"Just talking, how can I ask you to pay, you are a student, and I have been working for several years."
After breakfast, they set off together. Xia Yi drove the car and said, "That place is a bit far away. It takes at least two hours to drive outside the city."
Lu Ming took a long breath: "I don't know how Aunt Jingning is doing, whether she will be bullied."
"That's not true. I've inquired about it. They have a room for each person, but the room is very small, with a small window and a very strong door." Xia Yi said.
Lu Ming silently nodded her head to express her understanding. She and Xia Yi didn't have any pleasant conversations on the way. After all, this atmosphere is here. If you are joking, you don't feel very respectful to Aunt Jingning.
While Xia Yi was driving, the cell phone in the car rang suddenly, she didn't look at it and said directly: "Can you help me find out what it is?"
"Oh, okay." Lu Ming picked up her mobile phone, and saw a message from Aunt Ji displayed on the lit screen, and Sister Xia Yi's note was Sister You Qing.
"You took her there?" Just five words plus a question mark.
"Who sent the message." Xia Yi asked while driving the car.
Lu Ming froze for a moment before answering: "It's Aunt Ji's news."
At this time, Xia Yi glanced this way, and didn't ask any more questions, but just asked her to put down the phone, and Lu Ming did so. She turned her head and looked out the window and couldn't help thinking, the "her" that Aunt Ji was referring to ", is it yourself?
Two hours later, they arrived at the so-called "nursing home".
When I first arrived at the gate, the first impression I had when I looked around was a bit like an old hospital during World War II. Due to the winter, the lawn inside was covered with yellow withered grass, and there were police officers wearing uniforms and holding guns outside the gate. There are also doctors in white coats inside. In short, the feeling of this place is not so clear. After all, this place can be regarded as a "prison". The transfer came here.
Xia Yi walked in front and after showing the relevant documents, the people at the door let the two of them in, and they didn't just walk around casually. They were led by a special person, and they also carried guns with them.
"You only have one hour, it's ten o'clock in the morning, and you have to leave at eleven o'clock."
"understood."
"Understood." Lu Ming and Xia Yi replied one by one.
Walking into a building, I met two people wearing prison uniforms and being pushed out by nurses in wheelchairs. Their eye sockets were sunken, their cheeks were thin, and their gazes were like the bottom of a deep pool. In short, they were very negative. The feeling of not being able to see hope, in fact, Lu Ming is quite afraid to see Aunt Jingning will be like this later, such a strong woman in the workplace will not tolerate her decadent appearance.
"You are here." The man opened a door for them, then walked away, sat on a chair not far away and waited, which can be regarded as supervision.
Xia Yi and Lu Ming pushed the door together and went in. The room is really small, and you can see the end at a glance. The bed is also a small single bed, a small table, a stool, and there is a separate bathroom inside, too. Small, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the size of a palm.
And when they first entered, Ji Jingning was sitting at the table, looking at the mirror as if fiddled with something.
"Sister Jingning, Lu Ming and I came to see you." Xia Yi took the initiative to speak.
"Aunt Jingning." Lu Ming called out.
Ji Jingning turned her head when she heard the sound, and said with a slight smile, "I don't think it's that bad. I asked the nurse on duty here for some cosmetics. I know you are coming over today."
Ji Jingning specially put on makeup on herself, but even so, it still couldn't completely cover her sick appearance. Her appearance was much worse than when I saw her a month ago, and she had lost more than half of her weight.
Lu Ming couldn't bear it, and said with a flat mouth: "Aunt Jingning, you have lost a lot of weight."
"It's normal, I've never seen a person with cancer gain weight." Ji Jingning said calmly, then glanced at the two of them, and said with a helpless smile: "Sit on the bed, I don't have any place for you to sit here. "
"Let's just stand." Lu Ming just blurted out when Xia Yi tugged at his sleeves.
"It's okay, the eldest sister let us sit, let's go and sit."
After seeing them sit down by the bed, Ji Jingning, who was sitting on the stool, slowly turned to face them, with a smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to come to see me, I'm really happy."
"Sister, look at what you said, can we not come to see you, but it's too difficult for us non-family members to make an appointment, and it's not easy to come here once, are you okay here?" Xia Yi asked.
"It's alright, some food and some drink, and there will be a special person to check your body every day and supervise you to take medicine, which is much more thoughtful than living alone." Ji Jingning said with a smile.
But Lu Ming couldn't laugh. What's the point of living a life without freedom and being watched all day long?
She really felt sorry for Aunt Jingning.
Xia Yi habitually reported some work matters to her, and Ji Jingning nodded and interrupted her: "I believe You Qing has this ability, and there are you and Xie Xuan's assistants around, and Lu Ming can help soon. I'm busy at work, I'm very relieved, I'm here for a short time today, so let's not talk about work."
"Okay, good sister..." Xia Yi murmured.
At this time, Ji Jingning turned to look at Lu Ming, and asked, "How about the driver's license, have you got it?"
Lu Ming nodded: "I just got it last week."
"Very well, I really didn't misread you." Ji Jingning paused and asked again, "How are you and Yu Qing doing? Is there any progress?"
When this topic was mentioned suddenly, even Xia Yi couldn't help but glanced at Lu Ming's expression. Lu Ming lowered his head slightly and tried to smile and said, "Aunt Ji and I are on good terms." The reason for not telling the truth, It was because she didn't want Aunt Jingning to worry about her.
"Whether you're telling the truth or a lie, don't lie to me, you can't hide anything from my eyes." But Ji Jingning directly exposed her, maybe Lu Ming is really not good at lying.
Lu Ming directly raised her head and said, "In this situation, I can understand Aunt Ji's mood very well, so... I will wait for her."
"She has come to see me several times, and I know that I am sorry for her decision. From her state, I have guessed something. This girl has fallen into self-isolation again. Give her some time and it will be fine. "Ji Jingning murmured.
"Again?" Lu Ming was a little curious and raised doubts.
Xia Yi, who was sitting by the side, was naturally curious, and was ready to listen.
"This matter started 18 years ago. At that time, You Qing was studying in middle school and was at the age of rebellion. In addition, because of poor health, he often missed school activities, and his relationship with his classmates was also so-so. From time to time, she was ridiculed and teased by the boys behind her back. At that time, she would always say that she didn’t want to study anymore, didn’t want to go to school, etc. But the good times didn’t last long, and my parents had an accident. I went to the school to find her to inform The news of the death, that afternoon Youqing sat in the co-pilot and cried very sadly. After that incident, she began to close herself, not talking to anyone, rejecting the people around her, rejecting everyone's favor, the whole person Negative and pessimistic."
"Aunt Ji...how did you get out of that?" Lu Ming couldn't help asking.
Ji Jingning lowered her head and smiled, "Time is a good medicine. After being self-isolated for a year, she suddenly came out one day, and suddenly pestered me to take her to a newly opened restaurant in the city center. Ice cream parlors eat ice cream."
Lu Ming couldn't help laughing after hearing this, it turned out that Aunt Ji was so cute when she was a child.
"Then, this time, won't it take a year?" Xia Yi couldn't help asking, the sister Youqing she meets every day in the company is really scary, she is too serious, she misses that gentleness Soft boss sister.
"No." Ji Jingning shook her head and answered very firmly.
After finishing speaking, Ji Jingning looked at Lu Ming who was silent at the side, and called out: "Lu Ming."
"I'm here, Aunt Jingning, tell me." Lu Ming raised her head quickly.
"This little sister of mine is in your hands. You have to grow up quickly, walk side by side with her, walk hand in hand, support each other, and grow old together." Ji Jingning's words are very solemn, just Even Xia Yi who was sitting next to Lu Ming couldn't help standing up, stretching her upper body.
Lu Ming nodded, "I will definitely."
"Well, I believe you have this ability." Ji Jingning smiled, very relieved, and then said: "I may not have much time, there are some things I want to explain to you two."
"Aunt Jingning, don't say such things, maybe a miracle will happen."
"Yes, yes, elder sister, don't say that, it's too sad."
"This is the reality," Ji Jingning paused and said, "There will be no miracles on my body."
