Chapter 239: What is the meaning of this bloom without you?

Quietly, Lin Jiang retreated.

The nurse came over, and their eyes met. Lin Jiang shook his head slightly.

"How is Mr. Shen going to deal with this?"

"deal with?"

"According to the hospital's regulations, if a person dies in the hospital, they must first be sent to the morgue and then to the funeral home. But Teacher Shen is one of us, so she can take the body away directly."

"She didn't say that. Wait a moment and let her decide for herself."

"okay."

Lin Jiang stood at the windowsill in the corridor, looking at the scenery outside the window, lamenting the cruelty of time.

Just like that, more than half an hour passed, and Shen Qingqiu walked out of the ward.

He stood at the door, looking around until he saw Lin Jiang.

There was no trace of sadness on Shen Qingqiu's face, except that his eyes were a little red.

Her strong heart allowed her to suppress all her sad emotions.

There is still a long way to go in the future, and she dare not let herself fall.

"Mr. Lin, thank you."

"You're welcome. The head nurse just called me. Go discuss with her what to do next."

"Ah."

Nodding, Shen Qingqiu went to the nurses' station.

Thanks to the teachers from Jiaotong University, a lot of trouble was saved during the process.

All the relevant procedures were completed very quickly.

"Should we leave it here or send it away now?"

"Now, the transporter has been contacted."

It's easy to get things done with someone in the court, so Shen Qingqiu didn't need to say much about this matter, the head nurse helped to make the contact.

In this way, we were busy until the evening and finally left the funeral home.

At the gate of the funeral home, Shen Qingqiu got into Lin Jiang's car and stared at the calm gate for a long time.

Lin Jiang was not in a hurry to drive away and waited quietly for several minutes.

"Mr. Lin, thank you. I'll treat you to something to eat."

"If you're not hungry yet, I won't eat. Where are you going now? I'll take you there."

He propped his head on one hand, fatigue written all over his face.

"go home."

"Ah."

Shen Qingqiu lived in the young teachers' apartment of Jiaotong University.

Both the geographical location and the environment are very good.

It’s about eight o’clock in the evening, which is a good time of the day.

There were couples walking on the street, holding hands, snuggling together, talking and laughing.

There were children playing and fighting.

The working class is in a hurry.

There was a long queue in front of the traffic light.

All kinds of people have all kinds of faces.

Under the same sky, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.

After parking the car at the door, Shen Qingqiu looked at Lin Jiang.

"During the settlement, someone deposited 30 yuan into my account. Mr. Lin..."

"Tongtong and Yingjun said that they have learned a lot from you during this period of time. They all said that you are a good teacher. This money is considered a bonus."

"I have already been given a lot. Even if they are admitted to Jiaotong University in the future, I cannot take this money." Shen Qingqiu said:
"The hospital is settling the bill, and they should be able to return around 20 yuan. I will return the rest to you slowly."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's deal with the things at hand first and go."

Opening the car door, Lin Jiang got out first, followed by Shen Qingqiu.

After walking a few dozen meters, they arrived at the apartment building and Lin Jiang sent her back.

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

"If you have something to do tomorrow, I can come by myself. I am sorry to waste your time."

"fine."

"Thank you."

"You've said thank you many times along the way. There's no need to be so formal. I'm leaving first."

"Come in and sit down."

"I won't trouble you any more. I'm sorry."

"Ah."

Lin Jiang left and drove back to Century Triumph.

After spending this afternoon together, Lin Jiang discovered that Shen Qingqiu was much stronger than he had imagined. Most of the time, one could not even see a trace of sadness on her face.

Even men may not be able to do this.

She has stumbled and struggled all the way through, and her experience is incomparable to that of men.

The next morning, Lin Jiang drove to the teachers' apartment and picked up Shen Qingqiu.

"Are there any relatives coming over?"

"No, my aunt is in her hometown. She said she didn't dare to come over, so she didn't come."

Lin Jiang nodded, drove to the funeral home.

Lin Jiang can also understand this situation.

When his grandmother passed away, Comrade Li did not dare to go to the funeral home.

Because Shen Qingqiu was her only relative, everything was kept simple, but the part of viewing the remains was still retained, just to allow her to take one more look.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the cremation was completed and the ashes were buried in the cemetery. All matters were completed.

Back in the car, Shen Qingqiu covered his face with one hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Quietly, Lin Jiang handed over a tissue.

Shen Qingqiu took it and wiped the tears from his eyes.

But the tears couldn't stop flowing.

crackling-

Tears fell like rain, and I sobbed and cried.

She lay on the center console of the car, choking and crying loudly...

From the moment her mother became ill, she had been bottling up all her emotions.

Even when she passed away, her emotions did not fluctuate so much.

And that small piece of tissue became the fuse for Shen Qingqiu's emotional breakdown.

For so many years, she traveled all over the place, from a small town in the north, to Jiaotong University, and then to Chicago on the other side of the ocean. No one sang with her, no one drank with her. When she finally blossomed, she was left alone to bloom...

But without you, what is the meaning of this blooming...

for a long time……

Shen Qingqiu's crying gradually subsided.

Lin Jiang handed over the tissue again.

"Boss Lin, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"It's human nature. If it were me, I would probably cry even harder than you, and crying can make you feel better."

Lin Jiang drove the car and sent Shen Qingqiu back.

"I told them both that you have something to do this week, so the class will be postponed to a week later, so there's no need to rush to teach them."

[Intimacy: 30]

"I'm fine. Their foundation is poor. We can't waste too much time."

"Relax, just treat it as a holiday and have a good rest."

Shen Qingqiu was suddenly stunned. Those words, "Take a good rest," struck him straight in the heart.

"Thank you for helping me. If I were alone, I might not be able to handle so many things."

"You're welcome." "I'll take you to get some food."

"Can you eat it?"

Shen Qingqiu smiled sadly and did not answer directly.

"There's no rush. Tongtong is taking classes here, so there will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet. We can make an appointment later when we have time."

"Well, there's also money. I'll give it to you as soon as possible."

Shen Qingqiu got out of the car, looked at Lin Jiang, and waved at her.

Lin Jiang drove away and took a deep breath. After separation of life and death, life must go on!
……

In the next few days, Lin Jiang's life was busy.

A barbecue restaurant also opened.

In the morning, a red carpet was laid in front of the store, and flower baskets were placed on both sides.

Several women also brought gifts, and the scene was lively.

[New map Ning'an District opened]

At 9:58, the barbecue restaurant officially opened, and new prompts appeared in Lin Jiang's mind.

The new map has become the entire Ning'an District, which can be said to be very large.

The nature of a barbecue restaurant is different from that of a noodle restaurant. After it opened, not many diners came.

But by noon, more and more people came.

The diners who came over were amazed at the quality of the meat.

"Are you sure you want to sell this plate of meat for 88? If it were sold in other stores, they would sell it for 158."

"Is it because of the opening sales that they used such high-quality beef?"

"If you can keep up this quality, I will not go to other people's houses anymore and will come to your house for barbecue."

"Don't worry, the quality of our barbecue is always the same and will definitely get better and better. We won't let you down in this regard."

The new store had just opened and Li Yuanyuan was transferred here. She was able to deal with all kinds of customers with ease.

That afternoon, Li Yuetong and Xu Yingjun also came.

What Lin Jiang didn't expect was that it wasn't just the two of them who came, Shen Qingqiu came as well.

Judging from her condition, she seems to have come out of the shadow of her loved one's death, and there is already some smile on her face.

"Please sit down." Lin Jiang welcomed them in.

"Brother, you are too polite. You don't need to use this trick with your own sister."

"The kitchen is too busy, go and help."

Li Yuetong had a scared face.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to start biting people."

"I asked them to have lunch together at noon to arrange the course plan, and they told me that your barbecue restaurant was open, so I followed them here."

Shen Qingqiu took out a red envelope from his bag, "It was a rush, and I didn't prepare anything. I wish you a prosperous business."

Lin Jiang took the red envelope with a smile and took one out of it.

"It's good that the intention is there, you can take the rest back."

Li Yuetong was also there to smooth things over.

"Teacher Shen, you don't have to be polite with my brother. He is a capitalist now. Let's eat as much as we can today."

"Hurry up and take a seat. Just scan the QR code for whatever you want to eat."

Shen Qingqiu also knew that this little red envelope from him meant nothing in Lin Jiang's eyes, and he still owed him a lot of money, so it was meaningless to worry about the red envelope any further.

Because of the arrival of the three people, Lin Jiang was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed here to chat with them, and also ate something and solved his own lunch.

After dinner, Lin Jiang drove the three of them to the teachers’ apartment.

The place where Shen Qingqiu gave the two of them extra lessons was either the house they rented or her own home.

Because there are a lot of ready-made materials at her home, it is more convenient to give lectures.

Before getting off the bus, Xu Yingjun was a little reluctant, as if she wanted Lin Jiang to give her some extra lessons.

"Teacher Shen, aren't you going back with us?" Li Yuetong asked.

"You guys go back to the dormitory and review first. I'll go to the bookstore to buy some books and come find you later."

"We two will go with you."

"Don't waste your time. Put all your energy into reviewing."

"understood."

Li Yuetong and Xu Yingjun left. Lin Jiang sat in the car and was not in a hurry to leave. He nodded at Shen Qingqiu.

"Come on, I'll take you to the bookstore."

"Ah."

Shen Qingqiu got in the car and said:
"this is for you."

"what?"

"I wrote you an IOU, so let's be honest. There can't be any ambiguity about this matter."

"Not really, it's not a big deal, don't take it so seriously."

"It has to be this way when it comes to money."

As he spoke, Shen Qingqiu took out a pen from his bag.

"I have already signed it, just sign it again."

"okay."

Lin Jiang didn't bother with these little things anymore. He signed his name on it and then put the IOU in the armrest box.

"The money settled by the hospital has been refunded. I can give you part of it first."

"I'm not in a hurry, you can keep it for now."

"My salary is enough to cover my expenses, so I don't have to worry about this."

Shen Qingqiu works at Jiaotong University and has a god-level resume, so her salary is definitely not low.

You don't have to worry about this.

"Just keep it with you for now, and give it to me when you have 30 yuan. Otherwise, we'll have to sign a new IOU."

"Well, that's fine too."

Lin Jiang drove to the bookstore.

Shen Qingqiu went to choose books, and Lin Jiang sat alone in the cold drink area and ordered two cups of coffee.

As if he had already had a goal in mind, Shen Qingqiu selected very quickly. Before long, he had selected more than a dozen books and returned to sit down in front of Lin Jiang.

"Just right, the coffee is still cold."

"Thank you."

Shen Qingqiu didn't act pretentiously and took a sip of the coffee.

"I remember the last time we met in the bookstore, you selected a set of English materials for Yingjun for the postgraduate entrance examination, and you even did a set of questions correctly. Your English seems to be very good."

"I said I secretly looked at the answer, do you believe me?"

"But the cover of the answer sheet has not been opened."

Shen Qingqiu looked at Lin Jiang, "Don't be so modest, this is also a skill."

"It is an honor to be recognized by Teacher Shen."

"I am also honored that you can trust them both to me."

Ring ring ring——

At this time, Shen Qingqiu's cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Someone is looking for me?"

Lin Jiang saw that Shen Qingqiu frowned and his expression did not look very good.

"Okay, I'll go back now."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingqiu held the book, looked at Lin Jiang and said:
"Let's go back first."

"Ah."

After paying, the two returned to the car.

"Where to go now?"

"Go to my house."

I drove back to the teachers' apartment and just got out of the car when I saw a middle-aged man with a dark complexion walking out of the security booth.

Shen Qingqiu got out of the car with an expressionless face.

"What do you want to see me for?"
