Whether in the space or outside, Ling Jiang and Lan Qiaoqiao were always crying uncontrollably, and Lan Jin really couldn't bear to watch.
It was good that they didn't hear the crying of these two people before, but when they heard the noise, Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe couldn't bear it anymore and opened the door of the master bedroom and walked in.
Lao Gao looked at the people in the room, and suddenly he didn't know how to comfort them with the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
On the contrary, Huang Jinghe, after enduring for a while, reminded: "Lao Gao, let's talk about the follow-up situation first. Captain Zhang will be here soon."
"Oh, okay." Lao Gao tilted his head, suppressed his sadness, and said, "Captain Zhang said that there are many elderly people in the Jing City base, so the follow-up policy here is also very complete. Captain Zhang will send someone to take them to the mourning hall and then drag them away to be cremated.
However, the Beijing base also has a service that allows the deceased's ashes to be made into some kind of souvenir for their loved ones to wear. He asked me, Sister Ling, if I would like this service. If so, after the ashes are burned, we can directly... "
Before Lao Gao could finish his words, the women in the room began to stare at him.
Well, this service is pretty good, and it seems to have existed for a long time, but most people choose to use it on pets, and it is really unheard of to use it on humans.
Ling Jiang immediately refused, "That's not necessary. Although I'm sad, it's the end of the world after all, and grandma is already so old. I just thought that after drinking so much spiritual spring water from Lan Jin, grandma would be able to stay with me longer, even longer..."
In short, it was too sudden and he couldn't accept it for a while. Moreover, Grandma Ling was his only relative after all. Although she and Lao Gao had done many bad things, they were very kind to their relatives.
After all, there is still family love.
Even Ran Qiaoqiao, who had been by her side for a year, was so sad. If she didn't react, she would be a real inhuman.
The group was just calming down when they heard a knock on the door. "Lan Jin, Ling Jiang, this is Captain Zhang. Are you home?"
Huang Jinghe was originally standing at the door of the master bedroom. When he heard the noise, he quickly responded, "Yes, yes."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the door.
When the door was opened, in addition to Captain Zhang, there were several other team members wearing camouflage uniforms. It was obvious at a glance that they were staff members of the base.
Huang Jinghe hurriedly welcomed the man in. Before he could say anything, Captain Zhang immediately asked, "He was fine before, why did he suddenly..."
“We were also surprised by this.”
In short—
…
After some communication among them, they dragged Grandma Ling to the public mourning area of the Jing City base.
In the past, people would have kept the ashes for three days no matter what, but after the end of the world, these customs were streamlined and changed to one day. The ashes would be burned directly after one day. In addition, there was no memorial tablet at the base, and there was no place to store the ashes, so the people at the base would ask if it was necessary to make some kind of souvenir.
When Ling Jiang heard that there was no memorial tablet and the ashes would be scattered directly, his heart collapsed again.
But in fact, it is normal that the base has no memorial tablet. Not to mention so many people die every day, even whether the base itself can be kept safe for a long time cannot be guaranteed, so how can a memorial tablet be set up? What if there is an emergency one day and the base has to be relocated? What if we waste time because we are reluctant to leave our deceased relatives?
This kind of thing is not impossible to happen. If we really encounter this situation, will we rescue him or not? So it’s hard to say.
After much hesitation, Ling Jiang finally decided to make a necklace with Grandma Ling's ashes. At least when she thought of her, she would have a thought in mind. She also believed that Grandma Ling must want to be with Ling Jiang all the time. In this way, the necklace matter was naturally facilitated.
They had just arrived at the base and didn't know anyone. They thought Grandma Ling's funeral hall would be deserted. However, after hearing the news of Grandma Ling's death, all the team members who had come along before sacrificed their rest time and came to keep vigil for Grandma Ling.
To say that they are very familiar with each other is not true, but to say that they are not familiar with each other is not true either. In any case, the fact that they can come here shows the other party's intentions.
The day passed quickly. After guarding the mourning hall, the staff immediately took Grandma Ling out for cremation.
The crematorium wasn't far away, actually. It was right next to the back door of the base. It was a place specially built by the people from the Jing City base. After some inquiries, Lao Gao learned that the crematorium was used quite frequently. Of course, although there were many elderly people here, not all of them died. Many young people died as well. Some were sick, while others survived their missions and returned—
In short, it means that the work here is really busy.
After the body is cremated, it is natural to collect the ashes. After collecting the ashes, you need to register with Ling Jiang and you can collect them after two weeks.
This time is actually not that long. After all, even if you don’t think about it carefully, you can know that the process should be quite complicated. She can wait for two weeks.
Having not had a good rest for such a long time since returning to the base, and also being extremely sad, Ling Jiang collapsed at the door after returning to the suite and passed out.
Lao Gao supported Ling Jiang and shouted anxiously, "Sister Ling, Sister Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Lan Jin quickly said, "Send him to the infirmary."
Just like that, they left the house as soon as they entered.
Ling Jiang was sent to the hospital and was in a coma for two days. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but Lao Gao was worried and insisted on staying with him until he woke up, so he was the only one there and looked particularly haggard.
The man already had a big beard and looked very old, and now he looked even older.
When he just woke up, Ling Jiang was a little afraid to recognize him, "Lao Gao, Lao Gao, how did you become like this?"
Lan Jin on the side said: "You have been in a coma for two days and haven't woken up. Lao Gao has been guarding you without closing his eyes. Plus, he didn't get any rest before, so how could he not age?" It has to be said that the relationship between these two people is really good.
Hearing Lan Jin say this, Ling Jiang quickly said, "You really are! What can happen to me? Okay, go back and rest. You guys can go too. I'm awake now, so I don't need anyone to watch over me."
Lan Jin said, "Lao Gao, you should go back and rest. I'll just stay here and watch over you. There's some food at home. You can heat it up and eat before you go to sleep."
Lao Gao glanced at Ling Jiang and saw that she seemed to be in good spirits, so he said, "Okay, I really can't stand it anymore, so I'll go back first."
"Um."
After watching Lao Gao leave, Ling Jiang finally said, "I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"
