Chapter 484: Entrusting an Orphan
People in their fifties and sixties are no longer young.
The kind of person you see less and less each time you see him.
Cherish every time you meet.
I originally planned to stay a little longer this time, but unexpectedly something else suddenly happened.
Fu Jingyou was in a depressed mood.
Lu Miao has calmed down from his initial worries.
She could understand Fu Jingyou's feelings very well, but sometimes verbal comfort was useless.
She hugged Fu Jingyou's arm, put her face close to him, and accompanied him silently.
The two children followed suit, one hugged his mother's arm, and the other lay down and rested his head on his father's legs affectionately.
With his wife and children by his side, Fu Jingyou felt much more relaxed.
He stroked Erbao's soft hair on his leg with his big hand, and held his wife's hand with his other hand.
"Home."
Lu Miao smiled gently and nodded slightly:
"Yeah, I'm going home."
…
After more than twenty hours of twists and turns, they returned to the courtyard in Jing City. Zhou Shian burst into tears when he saw Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao.
"Uncle, aunt, my father is dead..."
Lu Miao put Erbao down and carried Zhou Shian into the house.
Before Fu Jingyou could understand anything, Tang Mei told him the address of the hospital and asked him to go there quickly.
Zhou Shian struggled to get out of Lu Miao's arms, pulled Fu Jingyou's trouser leg, and said he wanted to go to the hospital.
Tang Mei pulled him back:
"The hospital is in such a mess, what are you doing there? You're just adding to the chaos!"
Lu Miao glanced at Tang Mei.
Although I don’t know what the situation is, but since everyone is urging Fu Jingyou to go to the hospital, Zhou Hong must be in good condition.
Even if it's really bad, Zhou Hong is Zhou Shian's biological father after all, and the child should be allowed to see his father.
What if it's the last time we meet...
Lu Miao sat upright at the table. Tang Mei knew what she was going to say and waved her hand to stop her from saying:
"You don't understand, don't try to persuade me!"
Otherwise Zhou Shian would hear it and become even more stubborn in following.
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, vaguely realizing something, and then he and Tang Mei coaxed Zhou Shian:
"Let your Uncle Xiao Fu go check out the situation first, and then I'll take you with me next time, okay?"
Tang Mei couldn't coax Zhou Shian. Zhou Shian started crying since Zhou Hong got into trouble.
Until now, I haven't slept much in two days and two nights.
But Zhou Shian still listened to what Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou said.
The little guy's eyes were swollen like walnuts and he looked confused.
He loosened Fu Jingyou's trouser legs and firmly grasped the hem of Lu Miao's clothes.
Afraid of being abandoned.
Lu Miao felt heavy in his heart after seeing this. He picked up Zhou Shian and called Dabao and Erbao into the house together.
Seeing the situation, Fu Jingyou quickly pushed his bicycle to the hospital.
What exactly happened to Zhou Hong?
When the weather is hot, the ice factory's ice storage keeps its door open, and the ice bricks near the door will melt into water.
Water flows everywhere, and sometimes forms new ice on the ground.
Workers can easily slip when walking back and forth, so it is cleaned frequently.
The kids who live nearby all know about it, so they often come here to wait and pick up ice cubes.
Besides, the ice factory has to supply ice to the seafood market in the morning, and also prepare to deliver popsicles, soda and other products to various parts of the city.
The workers get up at three or four o'clock to start working.
There were no lights in the ice storage, and everyone was using calcium carbide lamps to work.
It was the kind of lamp that was first used in coal mines.
A small round pot, put a few pieces of calcium carbide in it and add some water to light it.
Wear it on your head and it becomes a headlamp.
A few days ago, a group of children were squatting at the back door to grab ice, and two children ran into the ice factory.
No one knows the specific situation.
In short, it knocked over the calcium carbide barrel of the ice factory, and with a "boom", the three large tiled houses behind the ice factory exploded.
Three children died on the spot, two workers on the night shift at the ice factory were killed, and one was seriously injured, Zhou Hong.
This matter had nothing to do with Zhou Hong.
It was a coincidence that day. When Zhou Shian went out in the morning, he said he wanted to eat watermelon.
Zhou Hong remembered this and after delivering the last truckload of goods in the afternoon, he thought about getting an ice brick.
When the time comes, half of the ice bricks and watermelons will be given to the Fu family courtyard.
They took half back.
The watermelon is cooled by ice cubes, which makes it refreshing to eat even in hot weather.
I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
Fu Jingyou didn't quite understand why Tang Mei didn't let Zhou Shian go to the hospital with her.
I only understood when I arrived at the place and saw Zhou Hong's situation.
Zhou Hong entered the ice factory from the front room. He had no injuries on his body, but a piece of broken beam was stuck between his eyebrows.
The two-finger-wide piece of wood was stuck too deep and in a strange location, so it couldn't be moved in the hospital.
To move is to die.
When Fu Jingyou arrived, Zhou Hong still had the piece of wood stuck in his head, his face was dark blue, and his mouth was pale. After he left, he was almost out of breath.
"Brother Zhou!"
Fu Jingyou was frightened and walked quickly to the bedside, not daring to touch Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong could no longer open his eyes. When he heard the familiar voice he had been waiting for, he raised his chin as if nodding to say hello as usual.
Perhaps the wood between his eyebrows was vibrated, and Zhou Hong opened his eyes with an indescribable pain in his throat.
Zhou Hong moved his mouth and moved his hand on the bed, trying to pull Fu Jingyou, but he really didn't have the strength.
Fu Jingyou understood, took the initiative to hold his hand tightly, and whispered in his ear:
"Brother Zhou?"
"Xiao Fu..."
Zhou Hong was barely breathing, and his weak voice was dry and hoarse, like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for several days without drinking water.
"The factory, the factory will pay 2,000 yuan... Take the money."
Zhou Hong held Fu Jingyou's hand as hard as he could:
"Give Shi'an, Shi'an, a bite of food..."
"Brother Zhou, please don't say such things. It will be fine!"
Zhou Hong opened his mouth, kept his eyes closed, shook his head slightly, and continued:
“Please…”
"When I die, find a random place to bury me... Don't send a message back to the Northeast."
"His aunt, his aunt wants money, not people..."
If they knew that he was dead and the factory had to pay compensation, they would definitely come and target his son.
The person Zhou Hong is most worried about is Zhou Shian.
Too small, too small...
Zhou Hong knew Fu Jingyou's character, and he knew the situation in the Fu family compound even better.
Apart from Fu Jingyou, Zhou Hong couldn't find anyone else he could trust.
"Xiao Fu, promise me, promise me...!"
At the end of his life, Zhou Hong had no choice but to grab this brother and do something very unkind:
The person who had no strength just now now had surprisingly great strength.
Zhou Hong kept repeating Zhou Shian's name.
"Shi An, Shi An..."
All the little details of their past interactions came back to his mind. Zhou Hong was about to die, and Fu Jingyou could not refuse.
"I promise you!"
Fu Jingyou's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes flushed, and he promised in a deep voice:
"Shi'an is my son from now on... He will be just like Mingyi and Mingxia in the future. Brother Zhou, don't worry!"
Zhou Hong seemed to be waiting for his words and laughed hoarsely twice.
The hand holding Fu Jingyou gradually loosened.
Fu Jingyou's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice choked with sobs: "Brother Zhou!"
The two nurses outside the door had expected this, so they entered, squeezed past Fu Jingyou, removed the needle from Zhou Hong's body in a few strokes, and neatly covered him with a white cloth.
"Comrade, go downstairs and complete the discharge procedures. The patient needs to be taken away quickly. No one can stay here."
