I don’t know how long it took, Chen Ming walked out of the morgue.

His eyes were very red.

Han Bingbing hurriedly stood up: "Brother Chen Ming."

Chen Ming made himself look a normal smile and said, "Let's find some time to arrange for grandpa to bury."

The elderly don't like cremation.

Whether it is the earth or China, it is important to return to the roots of fallen leaves.

Burying in the soil of my hometown is better than being burned into a can of white ash!

The old dean has passed away for more than a month.

The reason why I have not been buried is that I am waiting for Chen Ming.

Now, Chen Ming has seen the last time he meets the old dean and can prepare for the funeral.

Han Bingbing looked at the door of the morgue, as if he saw the body of the old dean: "Uncle Su has arranged the cemetery."

"Yeah, OK."

Chen Ming nodded.

After a moment of trance, Chen Ming continued to murmur: "It's pretty good."

After saying that, Chen Ming walked outside on his own.

Han Bingbing hurriedly followed Chen Ming and did not dare to leave at all.

Chen Ming was a little confused.

Han Bingbing was afraid that something would happen if he let Chen Ming go alone.

After walking out of the hospital, Chen Ming was unable to open his eyes with the dazzling sunshine.

The weather is really good today.

After walking a few steps, Chen Ming stopped and looked back at Han Bingbing: "Okay, don't follow me. I'm so adult, what can happen?!"

Under Chen Ming's drive, Han Bingbing was driven away.

Chen Ming walked on the street alone, thought for a while, and turned toward the orphanage.

The security guard at the door in the orphanage was fulfilling his duties.

And inside, the two aunts were playing games with the children, which was very enjoyable.

When the security guard saw that it was Chen Ming, he let Chen Ming in kindly.

I don’t know which child shouted: “Brother Chen Ming is here!” In an instant, all the children ran towards Chen Ming.

Looking at the group of children, Chen Ming smiled and rubbed his little heads: "Did you listen to your aunt well on the days when I didn't come?"

"Listen!"

The children shouted in unison.

Chen Ming took the child's little hand and walked in and said, "How good, Brother Chen Ming will play games with you today?"

"good!"

Another sound.

Now, the children were even happier.

Immediately, Chen Ming looked at the two aunts and said in a gentle tone: "Please go and make some lunch, I'll play with the children for a while."

Upon hearing this, the two aunts went to the cafeteria to prepare lunch with confidence.

Chen Ming and the children started playing on the newly built playground. Gradually, Chen Ming seemed to forget the sadness in his heart and became a fuss with the children.

After lunch, Chen Ming continued to stay in the orphanage.

After discussing the time for the body discharge with the hospital, Han Bingbing rushed back to the orphanage. Seeing Chen Ming here, he was relieved.

One afternoon, Chen Ming did not go anywhere else, but just played games with the children.

Until the evening, the children were tired of playing and went to wash and have supper.

On the playground, only Chen Ming and Han Bingbing were left.

It's always dark quickly in autumn and winter.

It's only been around five o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is almost completely out of sight.

After a while, lights lit up on the playground.

The security guard came over to patrol for a while, and saw that it was Chen Ming and Han Bingbing. He said hello and returned to the security booth.

The stars are coming out.

You can see stars all year round at night in Yuncheng, which is something that Kyoto cannot compare to.

Chen Ming looked up at the night sky. Wherever he looked, many stars were flashing, with bright light.

"Brother Chen Ming, let's go into the house."

The weather is cold.

Especially in autumn and winter, the temperature is even lower at night. If you don’t wear very thick warm clothing, you will feel a noticeable chill.

Chen Ming ignored it, he was looking at a corner.

Following his sight, Han Bingbing also looked over there.

It was the green planting area of ​​the orphanage.

During the renovation, the construction team selected some grass and flower species that can be evergreen all year round to ensure that the orphanage can also see a touch of green in winter.

At present, this green planting area is not affected by the season at all and still looks green.

But the only thing that is a bit eye-catching is that there is a dead tree in a piece of green.

This is a transplanted plum tree.

Originally, this tree was in a small corner of the orphanage, but it was transplanted here because it hindered the laying of the playground runway.

Chen Ming thought it could live, but he didn't expect it to die.

When he came to the tree, Chen Ming looked at the dead tree and was slightly dazed.

At this moment, the plum tree was bare, and even the bark on the trunk fell off a lot.

Obviously, the tree is dead.

"I thought it could live."

Chen Ming whispered softly.

In theory,

The vitality of trees is very tenacious. Sometimes a dead branch can grow new buds, which is what we often call rotten trees coming to spring.

Such a tree with tenacious vitality still died.

Han Bingbing looked at the dead tree. He remembered that this tree was planted by Chen Ming. If it weren't for the transplant, it would have grown very well.

Without waiting for Han Bingbing to start talking,

Chen Ming continued: "The transplant month was not suitable, and after two days of heavy rain after the transplant, the tree's energy and spirit were dispersed."

Suddenly, Chen Ming realized.

turn out to be,

Trees cannot live without a place to take root, and their survival also requires living conditions.

Think about it for a moment,

Even the tree will wither, and it seems that the person's death from illness is not unacceptable.

After silence,

Chen Ming stroked the tree trunk, and the rough feel was very similar to the feeling of Chen Ming holding the old dean's hand before.

"Find some time and cut down this tree."

The trees are dead, and it is useless to keep them.

In the greenery, a dead tree looks extremely annoying.

After saying that, Chen Ming turned around and walked towards the cafeteria.

Han Bingbing looked under the tree for a long time. This tree was just planted by Chen Ming inadvertently when he was a child.

Before the renovation, the tree had lived for more than ten years.

Unexpectedly, after renovation and transplantation, he died.

All I can say is,

The world is so strange. Chen Ming planted a small sapling when he was a child. He didn't plan to survive, but it survived.
