Sheng Anning also didn't believe that Mr. Pei would commit suicide: "The laboratory has just started a project, and Mr. Pei has put a lot of effort into this project. No matter what his character is like, he still has a very pious and serious attitude towards medicine."
The two arrived at Pei's house full of doubts.
Two wreaths were already placed at the door of the house, and a black curtain was hung on the door. Many neighbors and students came to help in the yard, busy making wreaths, paper figures, and big horses.
A makeshift plastic tent had been set up in the corner, where several women were busy chopping vegetables and stewing them for everyone.
There was also white cloth hung on the door of the main room, and bursts of grief-stricken crying could be heard from inside.
Sheng An Ning sighed inwardly and followed Zhou Shixun in with a heavy heart.
There was a door panel propped up in the middle of the main room. Old Pei, wearing a black silk shroud, was lying quietly and peacefully on it, his face pale.
As they entered the door, someone called out, "Guests have arrived."
As soon as Sheng An Ning stepped into the house, she felt that the crying was much louder than just now in the yard, especially Mrs. Pei, who cried as if she was about to faint at any time.
There were two women kneeling behind her, both around 30 years old, and they were also crying inconsolably.
Behind them were two or three children, about seven or eight years old, kneeling, wearing mourning clothes and hats.
While crying and howling, he looked around, appearing extremely curious.
Sheng An Ning and Zhou Shixun bowed and burned incense. After burning incense, Sheng An Ning raised his head and glanced at Mr. Pei's body, and silently prepared to leave with Zhou Shixun.
Mrs. Pei suddenly stood up and called out to Sheng An Ning: "Student Sheng, can you please talk to me for a moment?"
Sheng An Ning turned around in surprise and saw that Madam Pei had a calm face, as if the sad cries just now were not made by her.
There was no trace of sadness in his eyes.
Nod your head to indicate yes.
Mrs. Pei took Sheng An Ning and Zhou Shixun to the next room, which was Mr. Pei's bedroom and workplace.
There was a stool lying upside down on the ground and a piece of belt hanging on the beam.
Sheng An Ning took a quick look and understood what had happened. Mr. Pei must have ended his life in this room.
Mrs. Pei was very direct: "Last night, Old Pei went to see you, and when he came back he locked himself in the room and didn't let me in. It wasn't until this morning when I went to call him that I realized something was wrong."
"I want to know, what did he say to you last night? Why did you feel so depressed after coming back?"
Sheng An Ning frowned. Was he suspected already?
"I didn't say anything, I just talked about Xiaonuo's situation and asked me to take care of Xiaonuo for a few days because there were some things going on at home and I couldn't take care of Xiaonuo."
Just throw the problem back to Mrs. Pei. It's impossible to blame her.
Mrs. Pei's face darkened and looked a little ugly. When she looked at Sheng An Ning, her eyes were also a little gloomy: "What could happen in our family? Don't talk nonsense. Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. Go away."
Sheng An Ning was very puzzled, but if she was asked to leave, she would definitely leave.
When Zhou Shixun and I came out of the house, another guest arrived. Sad cries were heard again in the house, mixed with the two daughters crying, "Dad, you left like this, what are we going to do in the future? We won't have a dad anymore."
"You left and left my mother alone, lonely and helpless."
The sad crying sound and the feeling of hearing the sad listeners crying.
After standing in the yard waiting for a while, I met two senior brothers who were working in the laboratory. They were both in their thirties or forties, wearing thick glasses, and they looked like they were doing research.
Sheng An Ning went over to say hello, and seeing their red eyes, she knew they were really sad.
Mr. Pei is dedicated to his career and is always willing to teach his students. He is also always willing to help students from poor families in life.
Therefore, to the students, he is not only a teacher, but also a father-like figure.
After sighing for a few words, he casually asked, "The teacher did find me yesterday afternoon and just asked me to take care of Xiaonuo for a few days. He seemed mentally normal, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. The cell regeneration culture that the teacher has been thinking about has been funded by the higher-ups. How is this possible?"
An older student pushed his glasses and also found it incredible: "Yes, this is what the teacher has wanted to do for the past ten years. There was no funding before, and now the funding has finally been approved. He was crying and laughing in the lab that day. How could he bear to leave without saying a word?"
Another student still finds it hard to accept it. When he talked about it, his eyes were red and he was in tears. His voice was choked with sobs several times and he couldn't speak. "How could this happen? How could this happen to the career he loved so much? He always encouraged us to try our best to survive no matter how difficult it was... no matter how difficult it was, we had to live hard. Only by living... could there be hope... but he..."
At the end, he couldn't continue speaking and covered his face and cried.
Sheng An Ning was also in a heavy mood. She stood in silence for a while and followed Zhou Shixun away.
After leaving the yard and walking a long way, he seemed to still hear faint crying, which made Sheng An Ning feel even more depressed and even felt that breathing was a little difficult.
He reached out and held Zhou Shixun's hand, exhaled, and said uncomfortably: "I feel very uncomfortable. Mr. Pei is really a very good doctor. I can't do many of his opinions. He suggested that when the hospital admits a patient, it doesn't matter whether the patient has money or not. It is important to see the doctor first."
"You know, I won't go to the doctor first if I don't have money in the future. It's really rare to find a doctor as kind as him."
"I don't care what kind of person he is in private, but he treats his patients very well."
As she spoke, the tears she had been holding back fell and she wiped them away with the back of her hand.
Zhou Shixun held her hand in return: "It has already happened, we can only accept it."
Sheng An Ning still had a doubt: "If Mr. Pei really committed suicide, given how much he valued the project, he would definitely tell the students what to do next. It's impossible for him to leave without saying anything."
This is obviously not Mr. Pei's style.
Zhou Shixun was silent for a moment: "Tell Luancheng that this may be a breakthrough."
Sheng An Ning sighed: "It's good now. Pei Nuo can only stay in our house. It's just Madam Pei. I wonder if she can survive if I send her back."
Zhou Shixun thought there was no problem: "Then stay, and then hire an aunt later."
Sheng An Ning sighed: "That won't work. When we move out, my parents said that they would fire all the aunties. We can't live in a bungalow and take care of the nanny. It will have a bad influence."
It has only been a short time since those years, and some things are still deeply rooted in people's minds.
In the compound, he enjoyed the same treatment as Zhou Shuanglu, but after moving out, he naturally lost this treatment.
Zhou Shixun didn't think too much about it: "There are many children in the family, and someone always needs to look after them."
Sheng An Ning thought for a moment and said, "No, send An An and the others to the nursery."
When the two were almost home, they unexpectedly met Sheng Chengan on the road!
Sheng Anning looked at her brother in surprise. Her photo hadn’t been sent out yet, so how come he came back?
