Chapter 158: Worship Mother
Chapter 158 "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" worships his mother
The day before yesterday, I had heard in the chairman's office that today was the mother's death day, and the whole family was going to the martyr's cemetery to pay respects.
Therefore, after going to work for an hour in the morning, Chen Long asked Section Chief Zhang for leave. After understanding in advance, he changed the bus to catch up with Li Feng and came to the Martyrs' Cemetery in the provincial capital first.
However, the Martyrs' Cemetery is too large, and there are many blocks lined with tombstones. Although it is not a day to sweep the tomb, because it is about to come to the tomb sweeping festival on the ninth day of September every year, many people still start to come to worship.
Although Chen Long already knew that his mother's name was "Qin Zhizhi", how could he find the specific location of the burial in such a large park? If he had to go up to find the tombstones one by one, it would be a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack......
Helpless, he had to hide and wait not far from the big parking lot in the martyr's cemetery, hoping to stay until Li Feng and them drove in.
On the other hand, as in previous years, Li Feng prepared everything for tomb sweeping and worship early, and organized his family to drive to the martyrs' cemetery together. In this family, since she came back from college and followed her father to work, she has been like her mother, celebrating holidays or something, and basically she has taken care of everything that the family needs to use and prepare.
The day before yesterday, in Chairman Li Zhengguo's office, he sued Li Hu for defaulting on a huge amount of loans, and when he returned home from work at night after the conflict, it was Li Jianzhong who controlled the whole family, so that there would be no more quarrels at home. However, it is obvious that the family has begun to have a huge emotional rift because of the problem of capital turnover and huge amount of money owed by their respective companies. Everyone began to have different ideas and opinions in their hearts, and they were all playing their own little ninety-nine.
Li Xiaoling helped her sister pack up the things and items for worship. Li Hu was in a mood and didn't want to go to the martyr's cemetery to sweep the tomb and worship, and was angrily reprimanded by his grandfather.
As a result, Li Feng put the sacrifice into the trunk of Li Xiaoling's car, accompanied his father to sit in the back seat of the car, and Li Xiaoling drove it.
And Li Jianzhong, who did not go with him to worship in previous years, decided to participate in person this year, sat in Li Hu's co-pilot's seat, escorted Li Hu to follow Li Xiaoling's car, and drove to the martyrs' cemetery one after another.
The hard work paid off, Chen Long squatted around the parking lot of the martyr's cemetery, and finally saw Li Feng and his family coming out of it.
Li Feng and Li Xiaoling sisters were responsible for carrying the tomb sweeping and worship supplies, and Li Hu and his father accompanied Li Jianzhong to follow closely and slowly walked to the side of the cemetery.
Chen Long was a bit like a thief, hiding behind the family from a distance and walking towards the cemetery......
After walking for more than 20 minutes and passing through two new cemeteries, I came to an old tombstone cemetery. If he hadn't followed his family, it would have been impossible for Chen Long to find the location of his mother's grave.
There are rows and rows of tall tombstones, and my mother's tombstone is just one of them.
Li Feng and Li Xiaoling were busy cooperating, and the sacrifices they brought were placed on the stone table in a neat and orderly manner.
Li Hu stood aside and just watched, Li Jianzhong couldn't stand it anymore, pushed him from behind him, and said to him a little angrily:
"Li Hu, don't just stand, go forward and pour incense and wine for your mother!"
After listening to his grandfather's words, Li Hu had no choice but to step forward, take out the incense candle from the bag on the ground, and light it with a lighter.
Li Zhengguo also stepped forward to help light the incense candles, and walked to the tomb in person with it, solemnly inserting the incense......
When everything was ready, everyone stood in front of the tombstone, folded their hands, and bowed to the tombstone......
After a period of worship, looking at the offerings on the stone table and the burning incense, Li Zhengguo said with great emotion:
"Li Feng, Xiaoling, your mother's cemetery, I and my grandfather came to choose and handle it back then. More than 20 years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically, and only here, everything is still the same. ”
"Yes, I haven't been with you in many years. Li Jianzhong continued his son's words and said, "You all have to cherish the good days now." Back then, for the sake of our business, your mother got up early every day and worked hard day and night, how much did you pay...... Especially Xiaoling and Li Hu, more than 20 years later, your mother has given her life for both of you...... It's a pity that our family business is so big and our life is so good, but your mother can't enjoy a day ......"
Listening to her grandfather's words, Li Xiaoling was so uncomfortable that she hurriedly approached her sister, grabbed her hand tightly, and tears wanted to pour out. Of course, she knows that everything about herself is what her mother bought with her life. She never saw her mother with her own eyes, let alone got her mother's arms. The memory of my mother in my mind can only be the only few photos of my mother at home...... How she envies others to have their mother by their side and live with their mother, even if it is the most difficult, painful and unhappy day, she feels happier than anything else...... Since she was a child, she never gave herself a birthday party to celebrate, in fact, it was to mourn her mother's suffering and death......
"Now here, I tell you in front of your mother's tombstone that no matter how big our family business is, it will always belong to our own family. Therefore, I hope that our family must be united and there will be no differences. Even if there is, it must be resolved through internal negotiation at home, so that there can be no more conflicts and conflicts. What happened the day before yesterday...... Alas, I don't want to mention it here, I believe that the ancestors of our family do not want to see our family quarrel and fight for any contradictions! Also, all of you who are grandchildren should get married and start a family. So now, in front of your mother's tombstone, I emphasize again: you all have to find a partner to marry as soon as possible, and give birth to offspring for our Li family as soon as possible...... Otherwise, what hope and meaning do I have for living as an old immortal?"
...... As the longest person in the family, in front of the tombstone of the deceased, Li Jianzhong gave a heartfelt family lesson. Everyone present did not dare to say anything, and lowered their heads guiltily.
Finally, after a short period of worship, everyone packed up some of the offerings and evacuated.
After all the family members walked away, Chen Long, who had been hiding not far away and listening, finally came out.
The incense is still burning vigorously, and there are many flowers, fruits and other offerings on the stone table. Looking at the black and white photo of his mother on the tombstone, Chen Long immediately pounced, "plopped" and knelt down on his knees, stretched out his hands to hold the tombstone, and cried bitterly, and tears suddenly gushed out like spring water......
"Mom, I found you...... I've finally found you. I, Li Long, am back......"
Facing his mother's tombstone, Chen Long said the words that he had not seen for a long time in his heart.
What child in the world doesn't want his parents? When he was a child, his mother gave him arms, and he seemed to be able to find some of them vaguely in his mind. His mother's smile at him is like the smile on the photograph engraved on the tombstone. It's a pity that the once sound and smile and the warm embrace have become eternal memories...... Now, in its place, there is a silent wilderness scene and a large cold boulder......
I wonder if my mother in heaven can see him at this moment, and if she can feel the embrace he gave her? I really hope that time can be turned back, back to the moment when my mother was embracing and teaching him, so that he can feel his mother's love again......
Chen Long had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to tell his mother, but he couldn't say them. can only be turned into infinite mourning for the mother, accompanied by a low cry poured out of the mouth......
After a long time, Chen Long adjusted his extremely sad and depressed mood, slowly stood up, bent down to his mother's grave and bowed three times, and reluctantly walked away......
As Long Chen left, a figure flashed out from behind a nearby tombstone. Chen Long's every move has been noticed and watched by this ill-intentioned person......
