Chapter 54: Grandpa's funeral, Linuo decides to move out of school
"Xiaonuo, come to grandpa, come here. β
The white-haired grandfather stood at the intersection in front of him with a smile in a simple sweatshirt, holding a watermelon in one hand and a strawberry cake in the other, which were Linuo's favorite food.
Linuo felt as if he had returned to his childhood, running home after school with a large schoolbag full of books, shouting happily: "Grandpa, grandpa!"
But I have the impression that my grandfather was still strict when I was a child, when was this kind old man with snacks in front of me my grandfather?
Thinking so in his heart, Linuo still rushed over and threw himself into his grandfather's arms at once.
Grandpa touched her head with a smile, "You, you, you, such an adult, or so jumpy, in the future, grandpa is gone, your dad is busy, no one takes care of you and you, what can you do? Xiaonuo, grandpa is really reluctant to ...... you?"
Linuo looked up curiously and asked, "Grandpa, why are you leaving?"
But she had a bad premonition in her heart, so she didn't hug her grandfather tighter.
Grandpa patted her on the back, squinted his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, you should go back, remember to take good care of yourself, and take good care of yourself in the future, so that grandpa can feel at ease." β
Linuo suddenly felt very sad, tears flowed down vigorously, and when he looked up in a daze, his grandfather's form disappeared into the light and shadow, and the watermelon and strawberry cake he was holding just now were long gone.
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
Linuo woke up crying, but found himself lying on the table, next to Feng Tuo, who was reading documents.
Seeing her wake up, Feng Tuo hurriedly put down the documents in his hand, walked over and hugged her gently, "Did you dream of grandpa?" Don't be sad, don't be sad, I'm here." β
Only then did he remember that they were keeping a vigil for his grandfather in the mourning hall, and today is the third day, and it is also the son of his grandfather who is going to hold a funeral.
"What?" asked Linuo, snorting, she hadn't slept well for several days, her face was very pale and haggard, and her eyes were red, which made people feel particularly distressed.
Feng Tuo rubbed her head gently, and said in a low voice: "Recuperating in the hospital, I asked the best nurse to take care of her, and Feng Yun and Zhang Zhang will help send her over later." My uncle was busy with my grandfather's funeral, and he was so busy with work for the past two days that he couldn't take a break, and he was sad again, probably tired. β
On the day of his grandfather's death, Xiao Yan, an iron-blooded soldier who had never shed tears in front of outsiders, had red eyes, tears slipped from his resolute cheeks, and he knelt on the old man's sick side and cried silently, but he had to return to the army that night to deal with things, and almost fell down the stairs when he left.
Lino remembered what her grandfather had said to her in her dreams, taking care, her father, and herself. All three of them reassured grandpa, and it turned out that they were indeed not reassuring.
"What time is it?" asked Linuo, a slightly hoarse voice.
Feng Tuo looked at his watch and said softly, "At five o'clock, you can sleep for another two hours." β
Linuo shook his head, "No, I have to accompany my grandfather on the last journey, otherwise I will never ...... again"
Before he finished speaking, he was already crying and couldn't speak, and Linuo approached his grandfather's glass coffin with Feng Tuo's support, and the old man was lying in it with a peaceful face, but there was a scar on his wrinkled cheek that could never be erased.
It was left behind in a car accident.
Pete looked at the mobile phone chat interface irritably, his brows furrowed.
It has been more than three days since he sent Li Wei a friend application, and he thought that she would pass it immediately and then return to his arms immediately, but he didn't expect that she had not passed the application until now, and she had been hiding from herself for the past few days.
In the past few days, the company is still doing public relations for Li Mei's case, and he is busy up and down, and Feng Tuo has sent him a lot of tasks because of an accident on Linuo's side, and he can't spare much time to find Li Wei.
Is she really going to give up on herself because of this, if it is, then this woman's liking is too cheap.
But before he wanted to avoid Li Wei, wouldn't it be best not to involve her in danger?
At this time, the phone rang, and Pete immediately had a coldness on his face, and picked up the phone, "Hey?"
Tian Qinghe's smug voice came out, "How is it, little Qi Ye, this time we did it cleanly." β
Pete sneered, "If you can't do such a simple thing, how can you be worthy of being called the little fifth master of the Double Dragon Gang." You're not going to come to me to ask for merit, are you?"
Originally, I really wanted to show off, but I was ridiculed, and I couldn't bear it, Tian Qinghe said unhappily: "That's better than you only know how to give orders on the phone every day, and you have the ability to do it yourself!"
Pete said coldly, "I don't have to do it at all." But Xiao Wuye doesn't have to be jealous, when you have what I have in your hand, you only need to give orders on the phone. β
Tian Qinghe's heart was itching with hatred, and the hand holding the phone couldn't help shaking, but in the end he held back, and just said: "I see how long you can be proud of that broken list!" When you hand over the list, won't I immediately send someone to hunt you down to the ends of the earth? When the time comes, it will be easier to kill you than to pinch an ant to death!
Pete said, "Do you want to wait for me to hand over the list before cleaning me up? β
Tian Qinghe was taken aback, could it be that he Qi Jingli really had the ability to guess people's minds?
Pete looked up and saw Li Wei passing by the office door, his heart moved, and he said coldly: "I can't guess what you're thinking, I can just read people's hearts." Keep an eye on that girl, that's your most important task at the moment. β
Then hung up the phone and suddenly stood up and walked out of the office, but Li Wei had already turned a corner at the staircase and disappeared.
Feng Yun was holding in the back seat of the car, coaxing a child and whispering, "Wait, we are about to arrive, and we will be able to see grandpa and Xiaonuo soon." β
I don't remember the car accident that day, I was a little nervous sitting in the car, I kept looking outside, and muttered in my mouth, "My old man hasn't been out for a long time, I don't know if I'm used to eating outside these days......?"
Hearing this, Feng Yun couldn't help but wipe a handful of tears from his head, and the tension of driving in front was not sore.
The mourning hall was solemn, everything had already been prepared, and as soon as he was helped in, he began to look for his old man, and finally found his grandfather in the glass coffin.
"Ah, old man, why are you lying here? What's wrong with you?" kept reaching out to tap the glass, and Linuo on the side held her back tears.
Grandpa is resting, let's go sit next to it for a while. β
Maybe it's because of the illness, she can't even see that her grandfather has passed away today, and she doesn't realize that the people in the mourning hall are all serious.
Meng Yao also came over with Liu Yu, and after kowtowing to his grandfather, he hugged Linuo tightly.
The two sisters didn't say anything, and being silent is the best companion.
There are not many relatives who leave home, and there are not many people who come to the mourning hall to attend the funeral, that is, Linuo and his father, Feng Tuo, Feng Yun, Zhang Li, Meng Yao, Liu Yu and a few people from the army, finally Zhang Xiao came, kowtowed with red eyes, and glanced at Linuo, who Feng Tuozheng was comforting in a low voice, but did not come forward after all.
But the people in this mourning hall seem to be just coming to attend the funeral, but in fact, the relationship is complicated and the situation is surging.
When Zhang Li saw Meng Yao again, he felt pain in his heart, and tried not to look at her and Liu Yu. Zhang Xiao also tried her best to endure the feeling of leaving the promise. Feng Yun was very interested in Li Xiaoyan, and while secretly observing him, he was wary of Zhang Xiao recognizing him, but the latter's mind was obviously not on her.
As for Li Xiaoyan and Feng Tuo, the two of them not only reached some kind of agreement, but also had inextricable connections with the people present, and the central hub of all these connections was Li Nuo.
After the funeral in a solemn atmosphere, the group took a car to the cemetery.
Grandpa said before his death that he didn't want to be burned into a handful of ashes, and he explained that he wanted to be buried, and he wanted to be buried together, so a place was reserved next to his grandfather's tombstone.
Linuo held his father's hand with tears in his eyes, looked at the black Nanmu coffin being covered with dust little by little, and thought that he would never see his grandfather's face again, and his heart was in sharp pain, and he desperately suppressed himself to prevent him from crying, and his grandfather definitely didn't want to see her so sad.
But at the last moment, there was no reaction all the time, and like an ignorant child, he suddenly broke free from Nuo's hand and threw himself towards the coffin, shouting: "Lifengβwhen will you come back!"
Linuo was startled and immediately rushed up to support him.
's tears flowed down one after another, and he sat on the ground and cried to the coffin with a corner: "Xiaonuo is still in the competition class, Xiao Yan is too busy to pick her up, don't you pick her up......?"
Hearing the cry, Linuo and his father couldn't hold back anymore, hugged each other and cried.
They all know that life is separated from suffering, and it is most painful to want to die.
After the funeral, everyone was extremely tired, and Li Xiaoyan took his mother, daughter, and pending son-in-law Feng Tuo to get in the car and go back to his grandfather's house.
Because of his grief and exhaustion, he came home and fell into a deep sleep.
The remaining three people had to sit in the living room with a strong spirit, discussing the follow-up.
Li Xiaoyan lit a cigarette, sighed, and said, "I will take you to the army and ask the senior nurse to take good care of her." β
It's not that my father doesn't know how busy he is for the brigade commander, and he has been absent countless times when he was growing up, let alone taking care of him.
She thought about it, shook her head firmly, and said, "No, I'm not at ease when I hand it over to the caregivers, aren't there many cases of abuse of the elderly by the caregivers now?"
Li Xiaoyan said helplessly: "Where do you want to go, the nurses of our army are carefully selected and strictly trained. β
"That's not good, Dad, think about it, the army is full of soldiers like you, even if there is a nurse, the atmosphere is not suitable for living, and you are busy with work, I am afraid you don't have much time to accompany you. Linuo said very firmly.
Li Xiaoyan is very ashamed, he has been too busy with work and has not been with his family well over the years, and he has not drunk and chatted with him until his father died, and now he wants to take care of his mother and is refuted by his daughter without anything to say.
Feng Tuo saw that Linuo was just sad and told the truth, and he didn't have the energy to consider whether what he said was appropriate, so he said: "Xiaonuo is just worried that my uncle will be too tired if he can't be busy, and going to the army may affect your work." β
Li Xiaoyan shook his head and said with some sadness: "It's me who is sorry for them." β
I am afraid that the softness and weakness of an iron-blooded soldier in this life are all displayed at this time.
Only then did Linuo react, and hurriedly said: "Dad, I didn't mean that, I mean it's really inconvenient for you to take care of, I want to move out of the school and live with me." β
"You move out?" Li Xiaoyan looked at Linuo, feeling that her daughter was really independent and strong.
He asked, "Do you want to take care of it alone, and at the same time juggle your studies and ...... Lian" said and glanced at Feng Tuo, "You must know that taking care of an old man like that is very energy-consuming. β
Only then did Linuo realize that it was the first time he brought his boyfriend to get along with his father, and he was busy keeping a wake for his grandfather in the past few days and didn't feel anything, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed at this time.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I can do it well. Linuo's words were a little knotted.
Feng Tuo naturally took over the conversation and said, "Uncle, if you don't worry, I will move in with Xiaonuo and help her take care of her, and I also have trustworthy people who can help take care of her occasionally." But I can assure you that I won't do anything to her without your and Arnold's consent. β
This was said righteously, but Li Nuo blushed a little inexplicably, looked up at Feng Tuo, and thought to himself how he really regarded himself as a quasi-son-in-law after seeing each other for a few days.
What she didn't know was that Feng Tuo had already met with her father several times because of business matters and had a lot of communication.
Li Xiaoyan was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about this proposal very seriously, and then said: "That's fine, you can take care of each other, of course, it's more that you have to take care of Xiaonuo, and help take care of it at the same time." β
Dad took it for granted, but he was embarrassed, "It's okay, everyone has their own things to do, and I can take care of it alone." β
Feng Tuo said firmly: "I am your boyfriend, my future husband, and I should take on the responsibility of taking care of you at this time and share the hardships for you." Arnold, we've missed it for ten years, and now I want to make it up to you every minute and every second. Your father is my father, yours is mine, your home is mine! Don't reject me, can you?"
When Linuo heard him say this, he couldn't stop glancing at Xiaoyan, but the other party seemed to be very calm and didn't react. Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, and my father should have said more numb things to my mother in front of my father-in-law when he was young, right?
Li Nuo thought so, and felt that he was actually very tired to carry it alone, so Suo agreed to Feng Tuo.
