Mr. Alzheimer's

Granny Cheng didn't wake up for long.She left the crooked note and headed for her husband's grave.

In her rare sobriety, she should want to die with her husband.

The road was fairly wide, but Granny Cheng was a sick person, and there were no street lights. The police speculated that she was in a trance while walking, and she accidentally fell into a stinky ditch with a stone under her head.

The person was found at four o'clock in the morning, and all the corpses were brought home at this time. Cheng Shi called to tell them, after all, he helped to find them for so long last night.

Pei Yang beside him raised his eyes to look at him, in order to concentrate on waiting, the tears stopped, but the corners of his eyes were red, and he looked particularly fragile.

Pei Yang: "How is it?"

Fu Shuzhuo's mind was a little confused, he put down the phone slowly, and smiled after a while: "Grandma has been found, it's all right."

"……real?"

"Yeah." Fu Shuzhuo tried his best to look natural, "I forgot to tell you, I booked a train ticket for today, because I'm going to a place in two days, and I have a surprise for you."

Pei Yang was taken aback: "Leave today?"

"Yes." Fu Shuzhuo took the plate away, "Ticket for ten o'clock."

Pei Yang looked at the time, it was eight o'clock, which meant that they had to go to the train station and pack their things.

Pei Yang: "I have to go and see Granny Cheng first—"

Fu Shuzhuo acted a little anxiously: "No need, Cheng Shi sent her mother-in-law to the aunt's house to let her relax."

They didn't have anything to pack, just clothes and shoes. Pei Yang stuffed the charger into the suitcase slowly, and after a long pause, he said, "Fu Shuzhuo, don't lie to me."

Fu Shuzhuo: "No—"

"Did something happen to Granny Cheng?"

Just like Fu Shuzhuo understands Pei Yang with a glance, Pei Yang also understands Fu Shuzhuo. When he really doubts something, every micro expression of the other party will be captured.

Sha Mao is not stupid at all at the moment, he is very keen, he counts all kinds of things that are wrong: "Obviously you told me two days ago that you want to play here for a few more days; The hospital is either at home, how could it be delivered to other places so quickly; and the new mobile phone is still on the way to be delivered, and it will definitely not arrive before twelve o'clock, and the surprise in two days does not need to be so rushed—"

"You're lying to me, aren't you?" Pei Yang said a lot in one breath, and finally stared at Fu Shuzhuo closely, waiting for his answer.

"Something happened." Knowing that Pei Yang could not be fooled, Fu Shuzhuo could only choose his words carefully, "She accidentally fell..."

Pei Yang suddenly got up and hugged him.

Fu Shuzhuo was stunned for a moment, his arms raised in mid-air, a little dazed.

"Don't be sad, I will accompany you." Pei Yang comforted him earnestly, "Grandma Cheng is gone, we should go and see her, you have to face this matter, you can't escape, otherwise others will say You are so unfeeling that people don’t even want to take a look when they leave.”

"..." Fu Shuzhuo didn't expect that Pei Yang thought he was sad and wanted to leave in a hurry.

Sadness is naturally there, but Pei Yang suddenly said in the morning that he wanted to eat noodles with scallion oil, which means that he was so sad because he dreamed about his mother last night. An elder - Fu Shuzhuo worried that Pei Yang would be stimulated.

Pei Yang pressed against Fu Shuzhuo's neck - anyway, Fu Shuzhuo didn't believe that he was wearing a book, so he pretended that the original owner was by his side for a while to comfort him.

He stroked Fu Shuzhuo's back smoothly, just like coaxing a child.

It took Fu Shuzhuo a while to respond to Pei Yang's hug, and hugged the kitten tightly.His eyes were red with half sincerity and half pretending: "It's just a little sudden..."

In the past, Fu Shuzhuo only thought that he had to hold on and not show too many bad emotions to affect Pei Yang, but he forgot that Pei Yang was about the same age as him, except for the difference in body/position, they were both boys, Both can be strong when the other is weak.

It's just that Fu Shuzhuo had too little time to be vulnerable these years, and he didn't give Pei Yang a chance to show off.

Pei Yang said softly: "We have to go see our mother-in-law, Cheng Shi should be very sad too."

"it is good."

Along the way, Pei Yang held Fu Shuzhuo's hand tightly: "What are the customs here, do you need to bring anything?"

Fu Shuzhuo: "No, just prepare a gift money on the day of the funeral."

The funeral is estimated to be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after all, it takes time to prepare.

They passed the wonton shop, which was closed, and Cheng Shi's house was in front, and after walking two steps, they saw a white cloth strip tied to the courtyard gate.

Seeing Fu Shuzhuo stop, Pei Yang squeezed his fingers: "I will always be with you, don't be afraid."

There are quite a few people in Cheng Shi's family at the moment, apart from neighbors and friends, there are also relatives who came in a hurry, including Fu Shuzhuo's flustered aunt.

She and Granny Cheng are sisters, and they have a good relationship, but they have a bad temper. As soon as they came in, they stepped forward angrily and gave Cheng Shi a slap, with a "slap".

Cheng Shi didn't hide, and received the slap for life.

The people next to her hurriedly pulled her away, and the aunt desperately wanted to step forward and beat Cheng Shi: "I knew you, a little bastard, will never change! How long have you been taking care of me, has it been a year? What you said at the beginning was really nice , Said that I was sorry for my mother before, and now I must treat her well—what happened!?”

For a while, the whole yard was filled with the voice of my aunt crying and cursing: "I have loved her since I was a child, and I couldn't bear her to be wronged. How much did she suffer when she married into your old Cheng's family? I used to work in the fields with your useless father." I'm so tired that I'm sick all over, and I'm still a bastard to give birth to a son!"

No one dared to defend Cheng Shi. After all, he was really a jerk when he was young. He idled around outside, did not do a serious job, and even got into trouble and almost went to jail. was prosecuted.

It was precisely because of this that Cheng Shi gradually changed his personality. First he went to other provinces to work for a few years, saved some money, and then came back to help Granny Cheng run the wonton shop.

But from her younger sister's point of view, her aunt felt that this son was not worth it, and she always looked down on him.

Now that the sick old mother is gone, the grieving aunt naturally vented a series of emotions on Cheng Shi.

Even people around began to discuss whether Cheng Shi really didn't like his mother on purpose, wishing her to die because he was too dirty and annoying.

It doesn't take long for the rumors to spread, maybe one day will pass, and everyone who has heard about it will have doubts.

Cheng Shi remained silent, letting his aunt scold and curse without refuting.

The aunt really didn't like this nephew, she was almost in shock by scolding her: "Why don't you die, you bastard!"

According to people around her, the aunt wanted to take her younger sister to take care of her at the beginning, but she also had a family, and the family disagreed, thinking that she only cared about her younger sister and did not consider the family situation at all. After a long quarrel, she almost got divorced.

In the end, Cheng Shi gave his aunt a letter of guarantee, saying that he would definitely take good care of his mother. The aunt who had more than enough energy could only let go and decided to believe in Cheng Shi once.

This year she often came to visit, to buy things and clothes, to give some financial care within her capacity, she did everything that should be done, but in the end there was a tragedy.

·

The yard was a mess, Pei Yang was a little confused seeing this scene for the first time.

He has only been in contact with Cheng Shi these days, so he thinks that Cheng Shi is a nice person, never thought that human nature is complicated.

It was okay at first, but in the early days, I was able to take care of myself, but gradually, not only eating, drinking and drinking, but even dressing and bathing had to be helped by the husband and wife. Wasn't it too annoying for a moment?

But would Cheng Shi really want his biological mother to die because of such a trivial annoyance?

No one knows the answer. In this matter, even the police cannot decipher the truth. Only Cheng Shi himself knows whether he has a clear conscience.

At noon, Cheng Shi's family will take care of the meals. This is the case in small places. When someone dies in the family, the big guys come to help.

There were a lot of people in the courtyard at the time, Pei Yang didn't understand these things, Fu Shuzhuo left early in the past, and he didn't know what the customs were, they didn't want to stay here to cause trouble, but logically, even just standing here is a heart.

Before lunch, there was another quarrel in the house because of the way of burial.Rongcheng has not yet required compulsory cremation, so there are still a small number of people who feel that they should be buried in the ground when they are gone.

When handing over the funeral process, Cheng Shi mentioned cremation, and the aunt suddenly exploded, thinking that it should be buried, and there will be a complete skeleton after a hundred years, and everything will be gone after the fire.

They are all outsiders in this kind of matter, and they can't intervene, so they can only watch them quarrel.They each held their own, and it seemed that neither was right.

If someone hadn't yelled "The dead are the greatest, is it reasonable to make such a fuss in front of her?", they would have almost started a fight.

After a simple lunch, neither Fu Shuzhuo nor Pei Yang had much appetite.Except for close relatives, few people were sad. After all, in the eyes of most people, it is normal for the elderly to die.

Someone around recognized Fu Shuzhuo: "Is that a relative of the old Fu's family? Is it his son? He really looks like his mother..."

Fu Shuzhuo has no memory of his parents, not even a photo, and he doesn't know if they look like them.

Someone tried to approach him to say hello. It is estimated that a lot of questions will be asked after the chat. What have you been doing outside these years?Why don't you come back and take a look?How are you doing, are you married, have children...

Fu Shuzhuo didn't want to deal with these things, so he took Pei Yang back and came back tomorrow.

On the way, they went to the express delivery point to get a new mobile phone. Fu Shuzhuo gave Pei Yang the new one and used the old one himself.

"I have to go to the bank to get some cash." Fu Shuzhuo and Pei Yang had no more than [-] cash in total, which was a bit shabby as a gift.

Fortunately, they brought two cards, and it was convenient to withdraw money.

Pei Yang inserted the card into the ATM machine: "How much should we withdraw?"

He checked the Internet on the road, and many people said that there is no need to give too much funeral money, a few hundred is enough, only children and relatives will give more, and contrary to the good things in life, the first digit of the gift money must be an odd number, and the latter is best Another dollar.

"Take one thousand and two."

Pei Yang was a little confused: "But if it is cremated, you need to buy a cemetery, right? Can Cheng Shi's family afford it?"

Pei Yang doesn't think there is anything wrong with cremation, but he also respects the old idea of ​​burial and peace, but this matter is a bit tough, and it is estimated that it will end with cremation.

"Yes, I've asked." Fu Shuzhuo rubbed Pei Yang's head, "The cemetery here is not expensive, I talked to the cemetery, I chose a better location, bigger one, we will pay the difference, but this can't be counted as gift money."

Pei Yang didn't even know when Fu Shuzhuo contacted him. He took out one thousand and two as promised, and the gift money was one thousand one hundred and one.

It was not until the fifth day that the burial was officially carried out. The aunt did not hold back the truth, and finally cremated.

Because the cost of cremation was much higher than that of burial because of the need to buy a cemetery, the Cheng family's savings over the years were suddenly emptied.

Until the funeral was over, the auntie was still crying when she faced Granny Cheng’s tomb. She turned around and said to Cheng Shi bitterly, “Are you guilty? I was afraid that she would come to you at night, so I burned it so clean in such a hurry! "

"From today on, our two families don't have to communicate anymore."

Cheng Shi lowered his head and said nothing.

Pei Yang and Fu Shuzhuo bowed down in front of the tomb, and said their condolences to Cheng Shi.

Leaving this cemetery, they won't have much communication in the future - Pei Yang turned his head three times a step, and Granny Cheng smiled gently on the tablet, completely unable to see the foolish and crazy appearance these days.

"Go home."

"Hmm..." Pei Yang secretly glanced at Fu Shuzhuo, it shouldn't be that sad, right?But Fu Shuzhuo is very good at pretending, this hand has to be held again.

In the past, Fu Shuzhuo held his hand everywhere, but in the past few days, he has been holding Fu Shuzhuo everywhere.

"I've booked a train ticket for tomorrow at twelve o'clock."

Pei Yang was taken aback: "Go home?"

"I won't go back yet." Fu Shuzhuo talked about his plan, "Going to other places, just to pick out a gift for Dad. His birthday is only a few days away."

During this time, Pei Zhiliang would occasionally call, but he didn't know what to say to his son, and had to hang up after a few words.

After returning to the small courtyard to pack up his things, Pei Yang looked at the roses that filled the courtyard with some reluctance.

The only news that can make me feel more relaxed these days is that the Chinese rose has bloomed new buds, which are very beautiful.

"If you like it, you can also plant it on the balcony at home."

Because it is a large flat floor, there are actually several balconies in the house, and it is not a big problem to plant flowers on the remaining one.

Pei Yang pursed his lower lip: "We'll talk about it when we go back."

·

It rained again at night, and the cool wind streamed in along the balcony, and the air conditioner didn't even need to be turned on.

There was a hand on Pei Yang's waist, and he rubbed it from time to time, making it very itchy.

"Can you stop touching it?"

Fu Shuzhuo smiled, and answered the irrelevant question: "Do you prefer the city or this place?"

Pei Yang: "Huh?"

Fu Shuzhuo continued to touch his waist: "Wherever we like, we will go there for the elderly in the future."

Pei Yang doesn't really want to answer this question, what kind of identity will he grow old with Fu Shuzhuo?

However, considering that Fu Shuzhuo might still be immersed in sadness, he could only whisper, "I like them all."

Until Pei Yang fell asleep, Fu Shuzhuo was still awake.He looked at Pei Yang's peaceful sleeping face, and heard the sound of pattering rain.

Fu Shuzhuo took out Pei Yang's old mobile phone that he had used for several years, and wanted to see Pei Yang's photos - but found that the album was almost full of him.

No one else, and few selfies.

Some are taken aboveboard, some are secretly taken, eating, working, sleeping...he has everything.

Fu Shuzhuo saw mixed feelings and couldn't bear to continue. When he exited the album, he didn't know which piece of skin touched the call record by mistake and clicked in.

Fu Shuzhuo's heart shrank suddenly, and he saw rows of identical numbers——

These days, Pei Yang would call the same number every night, but he never succeeded.Even so, Pei Yang still insisted on making a call every day, never missing a day.

The dialing time is also different, it is the time when Fu Shuzhuo doesn't know.Sometimes it’s a moment of dizziness during the day, or when I wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, I enter this number marked as "Mom" in a daze...

Fu Shuzhuo didn't know if Pei Yang was sober enough to know that he was not wearing a book and his mother had passed away when he made the phone call... Or Pei Yang still felt that he was wearing a book and just wanted to secretly listen to the voice of the mother of the original owner of this world.

But no matter what, the death of his mother was a hurdle in Pei Yang's heart, a pain and regret that could not be made up for.
