Night and day

Yesterday, Kang Ning did not come home on time after school. The old lady sat in the courtyard and waited after finishing dinner. Unexpectedly, after waiting, she saw a man and a woman with their children. Their child was beaten and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.The old lady had nothing to do, so she could only keep saying good things, and then went to the house to get 500 yuan, saying it was to buy some food for the child.

The family didn't say anything, and didn't ask for the 500 yuan. They just asked the old lady to educate Kang Ning.

As soon as the people left, the old lady continued to sit in the yard and wait until Kang Ning came back. Then she got up and went into the house to get a broom and a washboard.

When Kang Ning came back, the collar of his coat was torn to the chest. When he saw the old lady holding the washboard, he walked over to grab it without saying a word, and knelt down on it familiarly.

The old lady became even more angry when she saw it, and asked the reason of the matter, but Kang Ning kept her mouth shut and refused to say anything.

So, Shui Bei and Kang Qiao saw this scene when they came back.

This morning, the old lady didn’t get up on the kang. After Kang Qiao and Shui Bei went out, Kang Ning also went to school. When Kang Ning came back, the old lady was still lying on the kang. Kang Ning still remembered what Shui Bei told him yesterday. After entering the room, he planned to apologize to the old lady, but when he finished speaking, the old lady was still lying motionless, and Kang Ning thought she was asleep, so he quietly backed out without saying a word.

It just so happened that at this time, the neighbor's grandma Zhang came to visit. She entered the house and took a look to find out that the old lady was long gone.

Kang Qiao ran home like crazy, when he entered the door, the neighbors were all crowded in the house, and now the old lady had put on her shroud and was lying quietly on the kang.

Kang Qiao was so dumbfounded that he fell to his knees with a plop.

When Shui Bei chased after her, she also had the same expression. He never expected that she would just leave like this despite her relatively strong body.

"Qiao Qiao, don't be sad." Grandma Zhang sat on the top of the kang, her eyes were red and said: "Your grandma is so old, it's time to rest." Grandma Zhang couldn't help but wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "You'd better call your dad quickly and ask him to come back."

Kang Qiao sniffed, and knelt down to the edge of the kang: "There's no need to call him, I can handle it myself."

Grandma Zhang understood the situation of Kang Qiao's family, so she didn't continue with this. Instead, she said, "Your milk has long been gone. I asked you Brother Yong to buy this shroud. It took so much effort to change it."

Kang Qiao nodded: "It's troublesome."

"Don't worry, your grandma and I are old sisters. I'm also very sad that she is gone, but your grandma will be 83 this year. It's a happy funeral, so don't be too sad. I guess I will be there soon." Grandma Zhang stood up , and winked at everyone: "Talk to your grandma, I'll ask you Brother Yong to help you find a Taoist, someone must teach you."

Kang Qiao nodded: "Grandma Zhang, remember the money, I'll give it to you later."

The old lady waved her hand: "Don't talk about this, let your milk be buried in the ground first."

The neighbors backed out, but Shui Bei stayed behind. When the room became quiet, Kang Qiao suddenly said, "Cang Ning, come here."

Kang Ning sobbed timidly, hiding beside Shui Bei, not daring to go forward.

Shui Bei looked down at him, patted his head, and then pushed him over.

As soon as Kang Ning arrived at Kang Qiao's side, Kang Qiao suddenly turned around, raised his hand and slapped him. Fortunately, Shui Bei quickly stepped forward to block it with his body, turned around and said, "Qiao Er, if you have something to say, speak up."

Tears flowed down the corners of Kang Qiao's eyes, he pointed at him angrily and tremblingly and said, "Kang Ning, you are really good."

As soon as the words fell, Kang Ning burst into tears: "Brother, I'm not angry with grandma anymore, let her get up."

Kang Qiao half knelt on the ground, tears streaming out uncontrollably, she wanted to say something but swallowed it.

Seeing him crying so hard, Shuibei felt very uncomfortable, tears fell from his nose, he patted Kang Ning on the shoulder, choked up and said, "You go outside first, I have something to say to your brother."

Kang Ning wrinkled his face, nodded and walked out.

Shuibei walked over, stood behind Kang Qiao, let him lean on his lap, reached out and touched his face and said, "There is no one now, so cry out loud."

Kang Qiao endured and endured, and finally cried out loud.

Shui Bei sniffed, slowly squatted down, and hugged Kang Qiao from behind.

The neighbors were all in the yard, and Grandma Zhang's grandson also brought in the Taoist who was doing the chores, but everyone didn't enter the house, and they all listened quietly, listening to Kang Qiao's heart-piercing cries.

Kang Qiao hugged Shuibei and cried for a long time. When the crying suddenly subsided, Grandma Zhang's grandson dared to bring the Taoist into the house.

Seeing someone coming in, Shui Bei first wiped his nose and tears, then patted Kang Qiao on the back, and whispered, "Get up first."

Kang Qiao wiped her face, helped Kang to stand up, and said to the Taoist worker, "Teach me what to do."

The Taoist worker was a woman, and she comforted her, "Don't be too sad." After speaking, she walked over with the things that were necessary for the day-to-day affairs.

Kang Qiao stood aside and watched silently. Every time she taught Kang Qiao a lesson, it was already two o'clock in the morning after finishing important matters. After Kang Qiao sent her away, only he and Shui Bei were left in the whole family. There is a Corning who has gone to sleep in the backyard.

"Qiaoer, are you hungry?" Shuibei said after closing the door and looking at Kang Qiao who was kneeling in front of the coffin.

Kang Qiao shook his head: "Not hungry."

Shui Bei walked over, knelt beside him, and said, "I got oil from the kitchen, fill the oil lamp in a while, don't let the lamp go out."

Kang Qiao turned her head slightly, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said, "Go to the back and sleep, I'll just keep watch by myself."

Shui Bei sighed, "I'm with you, and I know you have something to say to me."

Kang Qiao stared at him, sniffed and said, "My grandma just had a bad life. My grandfather died early. She managed to bring up my dad, but she was still a white-eyed wolf who forced me and Kang Ning to live together." After leaving her, she finally stretched us two oil bottles, but she left before we could enjoy our blessings."

Shui Bei listened quietly without saying a word.

"When I was young, I would shop. When I was in school, I would get into fights every now and then, or count down every time I went to the exam. She was so angry." Kang Qiao took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Shuibei, and lit one at the same time. , smoking a cigarette and said: "Now that I've grown up, I know I'm doing something right, and I haven't waited to make money..." Kang Qiao raised her head and smiled wryly.

Shuibei took a puff of cigarette: "As long as you live with me in the future, our grandma will be happy."

Kang Qiao turned her head, looked at Shuibei and smiled: "So, I have to find a good cemetery for my grandma, and use good longevity materials. If you can't enjoy the blessings while alive, then go there to enjoy the blessings."

Shuibei nodded: "How much money do you have?"

Kang Qiao looked at him and said, "Not much, but my dad knows that my grandma passed away, so he will definitely come to ask for these houses, and the family will definitely be separated at that time."

"That's all for later. I'll go home with my mother tomorrow."

Tears rolled in Kang Qiao's eyes, and when she couldn't help it, Kang Qiao turned her head slightly and said softly, "I ask you to help me every time, from Kang Ning's tuition fees to food stalls, and now..."

Shui Bei looked at his profile and said, "Honestly, you know what I mean to you. Maybe I wouldn't be like this if it were someone else." Shui Bei snuffed out the cigarette butt, put his hand on his shoulder and Said: "Have you heard a sentence? If you meet a noble person in your life, maybe I will be your noble person?"

Kang Qiao lowered her head: "You are the noble person in my life."

"Actually, I really want to muster up the courage to tell my grandma that I like you, so she can rest assured, but..." Shuibei turned his head, looked at the old lady's peaceful face and said, "Do you think my grandma will be angry? "

Kang Qiao smiled slightly: "It should be."

"I said no, because our grandma likes me, she will never be angry if you are with me, don't you think so, grandma?" Shui Bei said this while looking at the old lady.

Kang Qiao shook his head helplessly.

Shuibei let out a long breath and said, "In the future, your tasks will become more serious. You will not only have to earn money, but also take care of Kang Ning. He studies so well, and it is not a problem for him to enter key high schools and universities. Are you mentally prepared for this?"

Kang Qiao nodded: "I am his brother, even if I try my best, I will confess him."

Shui Bei hooked his neck and said, "Qiao Er, if you dare to say that you need me, I will accompany you to the end, do you dare?"

Kang Qiao was moved, and when he raised his head, he said softly: "I..." Kang Qiao couldn't say the last three words, so he changed the subject and said, "It's good to know you."

That night, only Kang Qiao and Shui Bei were guarding the old lady's coffin. When dawn came, Kang Qiao and Shui Bei couldn't hold on any longer, and they didn't eat for the whole night.And now Corning is also up, even if they don't eat Corning, they have to eat it.There was no other way, Kang Qiao could only ask Shui Bei to take Kang Ning out to buy breakfast, and as for him, he continued to stay to deal with funeral affairs.

Shuibei took Kang Ning to have breakfast, and then went back home. Shuibei's mother didn't hesitate to give him 2 yuan after hearing what had happened, saying that sending the old man away was the right thing to do. Return slowly.

When Shuibei handed the money to Kang Qiao, Kang Qiao scratched his head and said something heartfelt: "I will remember your kindness to me all my life."

Shui Bei smiled, stretched out his hand and punched him on the chest, and said, "Don't be sensational, I understand it in my heart."

The author has something to say: After finishing this chapter, I don’t even know if I was abused. I only know that I finished writing it with snot and tears. I am not abused, but moved. I hope I am not alone.

There is only one word difference between Gao Fu Shuai and Gao Poor Shuai, but I like the latter better, it is chewy...

Don't say anything else, see you tomorrow...
