Chapter 17 5. Great grief (1)

In the morning, Chen Busen slept until nine o'clock, when he was woken up by his cousin's phone call.She said there was something urgent and asked him to come to her unit right away.Chen Busen asked her what's the matter, but she refused to say, but asked him to come over right away.Chen Busen had no choice but to get up and get dressed.Zhou Ling's character is very anxious, no matter what she does, she looks like a charge, which is very similar to Chen Busen's mother.When he was young, his mother would suddenly lie on the ground and act wild because of little things, and once even poured hot soup on Chen Busen.Chen Busen couldn't figure out what was his business when she quarreled with her father?He is her only son.Although Zhou Ling has an anxious personality, she is enthusiastic and often takes care of Chen Busen's life.After Chen Busen wandered abroad, he was often helped by her.So Chen Busen recognized her as his own sister, but refused to live with her.He doesn't want to burden anyone.

Chen Busen met his cousin Zhou Ling at the gate of the primary school.She said that today was his mother's birthday, and seeing that he didn't respond, she also said that she was not in good health, and she had to go see her quickly.Chen Busen asked her if she meant that person was dying soon?Zhou Ling said unhappily, did you only go to see her after she died?Chen Busen said, if she dies, I will clean it up.Zhou Ling said, then let me tell you, she is dying.After speaking, a person walked straight forward. Chen Busen hesitated for a moment, then walked forward.Zhou Ling hailed a car, and Chen Busen got into the car.Zhou Ling didn't speak all the way.Zhou Ling's mother suffered from high blood pressure a long time ago. Once she was taking a bath in the bathroom, she suddenly fell to the ground and never got up again.Therefore, she regarded Chen Busen's mother as her own mother.Chen Busen's mother can't be said to be good to her, but Zhou Ling always cares about her, maybe it's because she is a devout Christian.

In the nursing home in Jiaowei, Chen Busen met his mother.She was playing a long and narrow red playing card with some old people, chewing an olive, when she saw her son suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, she immediately changed her expression, embraced Chen Busen and began to cry.There were many old people watching, Chen Busen felt very uncomfortable, and broke away from his mother's hand.Zhou Ling said let's go into the room.They went into the room where the mother lived.My mother is not too old, but she already looks old when she walks. This must be retribution.Chen Busen walked into the room while thinking, this is a very simple room, except for a single bed, a table and two chairs, there is not even a cabinet for clothes, they are put in boxes.There are several bowls on the table, and there are even rice scars in the bowls that have not been cleaned.Chen Busen thought: Mother still hasn't changed her habits, she is a woman who can't live, and also a woman who can't take care of others or even love.Although Chen Busen was in the underworld, he thought he was good at taking care of himself. His dishes were cleaner than his mother's.

Zhou Ling took out a package and handed it to her mother, saying that Chen Busen bought it for her.The mother cried again, holding her son again and weeping.Chen Busen was very unhappy, and it showed on his expression.He felt that his cousin had lied to him, that his mother was not sick, she was as strong as a cow, that was fine, why did he lie and say that he bought things for his mother.Christians also lied, which made Chen Busen very disapproving.But he did not deny it on the spot, so as not to embarrass everyone.But he didn't want to say a word, and his mother said a lot and grabbed his hand.Chen Busen looked out of the window, and slowly broke free.There seems to be an old man peeping here from outside the window.Chen Busen found it funny.He judged that the old man might be his mother's concubine.She will not be idle wherever she goes.Chen Busen thought.

Zhou Ling asked Chen Busen to say something, and deliberately brought up some topics, but Chen Busen just hummed twice.Zhou Ling had no choice but to talk to her mother about the Gospel, and what she told Chen Busen was nothing more than asking her to believe in the Lord and gain eternal life.But the mother's eyes were slack, she looked out of the window for a while, and looked at the paper bag in her hand for a while, but she didn't look at her son anymore, and she didn't listen to what Zhou Ling said.Zhou Ling finally said, I will leave you some books.She put a booklet called "Could it Be You" on the table, and only then did Chen Busen realize that there were several other booklets on the table.

Chen Busen was very glad that the time came and he could leave.When she walked out, Zhou Ling had an angry expression on her face. He said to Chen Busen, how could you treat your mother like this?Chen Busen was speechless.Zhou Ling said that she at least supported you.Chen Busen thought, this is not correct, she only raised him until he was twelve years old.Zhou Ling asked him to go in to apologize, and Chen Busen was very embarrassed.Later Chen Busen walked into the room, took out a large stack of money from his pocket and put it on the table, but said nothing.The mother was so excited that she grabbed the money and counted it up, showing no sign of giving her son away.Chen Busen came out and said to Zhou Ling, look, who is she in love with.Zhou Ling remained silent.The two remained silent until they got into the taxi.

The taxi went all the way to the east of the city.Chen Busen asked his cousin where she was taking him.Zhou Ling said, I will not harm you, go to a place that is good for you.Chen Busen felt that his cousin was angry, so he stopped talking.The car stopped in front of a church. Chen Busen recognized this church, called Dongmen Gospel Church. It was built in England. The house was made of stone, and it was still very strong. Zhou Ling was an active member of this church.When he was a child, he was pulled over by his cousin several times, but he couldn't understand anything, so he stopped coming anyway.He was also tricked into coming here today, but Chen Busen was not angry, anyway, he had nothing to do today.

Zhou Ling took him into the church, where hymns were being sung.Zhou Ling found him a seat in the front row, let him sit down, and then went about her own business.Chen Busen was not used to sitting in the front row, so he slipped to the back row as soon as Zhou Ling left.At this time, a middle-aged man handed him a book of hymns, and everyone was singing a song called "Amazing Grace".This song immediately attracted Chen Busen.Because its melody is very beautiful.Chen Busen has sung many popular songs, but none of them are as good as this one, and it is different from the songs he has sung.Chen Busen memorized the melody after listening to it once.He can't read music, but he has a good memory.He has to listen to someone else sing it first, and he will know the score of the song.This is a strange thing.He didn't know whether he could read music or not.
