Chapter 129 [129] The Cook in the 1990s 129
(fifth update)
The old man can't move now and can only eat liquid food. Although this room is not the ICU of later generations, there are still severe patients in similar conditions to him. They are all lingering on liquid food. He can't speak, but his eyes reveal too much.
He probably knew that he didn't have much time left, so when he saw that she was the only one coming over and Gong's mother didn't come, he kept asking questions.
Gong Mingxia took some hot water, used a towel to apply heat to his legs, and said while applying it.
"Dad, Mom is tired and fell asleep in the place I rented. Don't worry, I'll watch over you tonight. I won't leave you during this time. I'll make you some delicious food to make up for all the years I've treated you.
debt."
Gong's father, who had sunken eyes, slowly shook his head, as if to say that she didn't owe them, but that they, as parents, owed her.
Gong Mingxia believed that the only thing Father Gong could not let go of now was her mother, so she told him her future plans, and also told him that she was very wealthy now and had no shortage of money. Even if her mother passed away, she would not be wronged and would be able to live a long life in the future.
Leave the matter to her, and after a hundred years, she will bury them together...
At this stage, Gong's father actually already knew his ending. The only pain he suffered was that he couldn't speak. After Gong Mingxia arranged the things that he couldn't let go of and worried about one by one, the corners of Gong's father's mouth turned out to be true.
He showed an unprecedented relieved smile.
A week later, Gong's father ended his hard-working life in his sleep.
The body was driven back to the village in a car from the hospital and parked in the yard of the old couple. Gong Mingxia wanted to have a grand party, but Gong's mother refused.
"Forget it, kid, I know you want your dad to leave in a more prosperous way, but before he left, he borrowed a lot of money because he had no money for medical treatment. It would be ironic if he made a big deal after his death. He was diligent and frugal all his life.
Let him leave simply like this!"
At this time, burials were generally carried out in rural areas. Gong Mingxia complied with her mother's final insistence.
After her father was buried, Gong Mingxia went to find the people who had lent money to her parents, knelt down and paid back the money. Each family gave interest ranging from 10 yuan to 100 yuan depending on the amount of the money, a total of more than 23,000 yuan.
Gong Mingxia paid for everything by herself. Even all the expenses for her father's burial, which totaled seven to eight thousand yuan, were paid for by her.
The mother and daughter held the funeral for their father. The other brothers and sisters did not ask them for money or help. They wanted to help, but they were rejected by their mother and her, so the final gift money was received.
Mother here.
The gifts were not much, only about a thousand yuan in total, and they were gifts given by my parents over the years.
As for the money spent, since it was summer, I rented an ice coffin and arranged the funeral arrangements at home. Although I said it was simple, in fact, the last step was not wasted and the money was not wasted.
From the time she came back to now, she has spent more than 40,000 yuan on debt repayments, funerals, and hospitalization. Her mother told everyone she paid for it all, but she never mentioned it again as for her son, an orphan.
After the funeral was completed, Gong's mother called her children to her side and pointed at everything in the old couple's home.
"Your father is gone. There is no use for me to keep these things. Take whatever you like. You don't have to bear the debt your father left. You don't care about the house your father left."
, you two can share the land equally and grow some vegetables. As for me, I will leave here with Mingxia tomorrow. I won’t bother you anymore. I won’t ask you for pension money, so don’t come looking for me.
Let’s do this for the rest of our lives! Let’s go, let’s all go..."
Chapter completed!
