Chapter 122: Who's Sorry for Whom?
It's been a week, it's time to be buried. Kang's father rented a hall in the funeral home to park his wife's body. She didn't walk peacefully, but she walked quickly. It is also a blessing that people can die so happily when they reach their old age.
In recent days, Father Kang has tried to convince himself with this rhetoric, and sometimes he almost succeeds, but most of the time he fails completely. When no one is around, the night has seen enough of the sadness and loneliness of an old man.
He has almost no relatives around him, and he doesn't want to fake his hands on this kind of thing, but after running for more than a day, he feels that the years are unforgiving, and everything in the future can only be entrusted, what kind of longevity clothes to order, which hall to order for his wife to hold a memorial service, and he also has to have a banquet for white things, how many tables to order, what specifications, the process of white things, etiquette, all of which he should entrust.
The next day, Shi Liunian's father came to the door, in fact, they had already appeared that day, but he was busy at that time, but he was more afraid of losing his temper in front of the old people. The two families are now like this, and the young people don't talk about it, and the old people feel that there is no way to end it.
If you had known earlier.
Hey, how can anyone in this world know earlier!
Liunian's father didn't leave at night, he lived with him, and the two brothers drank and talked together, and they fell silent almost at the same time. The two men's homes suddenly lost their lives, and sometimes Father Liunian and Father Kang would suspect almost at the same time, not knowing whether they were swallowed up by silence or if they had swallowed silence into their stomachs.
More often than not, Liunian's father is sighing, but Kang's father is not sighing, but his face and eyes are like the winter in the north, and there is no vitality at all. is just an old lady, and he usually doesn't think that now that she has suddenly disappeared from Father Kang's life, he knows that in that family, the most important thing is not Father Kang, who was once proud of officialdom, nor Kang Ruoran, who is regarded by them as a pearl in the palm of his hand, but the hostess of this family.
Father Kang advised the father of the year not to think too much, the children's affairs are the children's affairs, and the feelings between us are the feelings between us. Besides-----
Father Kang waved his hand, "The children are not wrong. ”
The elders of both families used to call their juniors "children". They also really used to treat each other's children as their own children, and they also planned their future single-handedly, marking the clearest and most accurate annotations for their future, but unfortunately, when the children grew up, they erased those annotations and rewrote all of them with new ones.
A glass of wine is sad, and both of them are even more worried, but neither of them is willing to restrain themselves. It wasn't until the fourth day that the two stopped drinking, and the blood pressure of the two old men began to soar uncontrollably. Liunian's mother temporarily assumed the responsibility of the hostess of the house, and directly forbade the two old men not to drink to each other again.
Rebuttals are not accepted.
The two old men still cherish their bodies, and when they are old, they feel that their lives are limited and they are close to death, and they begin to learn to be truly afraid. A few years further back, not letting these men drink?
On the seventh day, Kang's mother went to the funeral. Kang Ruoran is back, and Liu Nian is also back.
Luckily, they rushed back. The two of them suddenly appeared, got off the plane and went straight to the scene, Kang Ruoran wore a black dress and a black hat, and his face was pale. The beard was unshaven, so thin that all the bones in his cheeks were sticking out, and sometimes the bones seemed to pierce the skin of their master, like a seed trying to burrow out of the ground.
The funeral did not start, people were silently busy with the work at hand, the master of ceremonies was a famous white master of ceremonies in the city, and the team was also pulled by the master of ceremonies, they all understood the procedures, taboos, and customs, and the relatives of the deceased were OK as long as they listened to the command.
When Kang Ruoran appeared, the preparations were already seventy-seven, eighty-eight,
"Dad. Father Kang thought that he was hallucinating, his baby daughter should be waiting on the other side of the ocean to receive a heart transplant, and the old lady's news of the past did not dare to disturb her, the child was not in good health, she had lived in a vacuum under her protection for so many years, if it was possible, he wanted to protect her like this for the rest of his life.
When he chose to save the Liunian family, Kang's father had this plan, and even the sudden disaster of the Liunian family......
The old man didn't want to think about it, but he always visited unexpectedly when he reminisced about it recently. Once upon a time he had seen a saying that a person began to recall the past, proving that the person was starting to grow old.
Is he old?
The old man was a little unconvinced.
But he knew he was really old.
It's not terrible to be old, in fact, it's terrible to be powerless, and it's terrible to have no way to control and control it again. He thought he had arranged it seamlessly, but who knew that things would take a turn for the worse years later. For a few moments, the old man thought of the word "retribution", but more often he reminded himself not to be superstitious, he had received so many years of materialist education, and he could not turn his back on what he had learned when he was old.
There is no cause and effect, and there is no retribution, it is the child named Liunian who is too dead-eyed.
He doesn't hate him. Hate is the most useless emotion, and hate means that you can't settle the person you hate. If you hate someone, it means that the other party has done you great harm, but you have nothing to do with the other party.
But he still remembered that in the past, Father Kang clearly remembered that Liunian's father was calculated by others, and it was not a big deal, but Father Kang's three operations and two operations put that matter on the line, and as a result, Liunian's father not only lost his job, but almost went to prison, and Father Kang chose to stand up at this time to support Liunian's father and save his family from fire and water. In this way, his sick daughter will have a settled future in the future, what are you afraid of in congenital heart disease? What are you afraid of if you can't pass on the family line for a lifetime?
He is not wrong, is it wrong for a father to want to find a well-known in-law for his daughter? Besides, this is not a harm, it is just a matter of saving the country.
What father is not selfish? The old man's original idea was very simple, and he didn't want his daughter to be wronged after marrying.
All this was within his reach, if it weren't for that Chen Mofei who came out to snatch love.
He hated that girl, he should have done things a little more desperately, of course, he didn't want to show mercy to his subordinates at the beginning, he always thought that the girl from the civilian family couldn't make any big waves, and besides, it was many years later.
However, fate has come full circle, which is really regrettable.
In some moments, the old man regretted it very much. He even wanted to confess to a god. What do you repent? He did the sins he did alone, but let his wife and daughter eat the melons, and he, the real hand of sin, did not suffer any loss or punishment. God is not fair.
He blamed God, never himself. His arrangement is almost seamless, but it is just a trick. Perhaps the god of fate did not want to see mortals smarter than him, so he played a small trick from it, and look, it was really just a small trick, enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Perhaps this is the biggest difference between God and the world.
Back to repentance, or regret. He really regretted it. However, this regret cannot be put into words. Those who dare to come only in the lonely night when no one is around, and they are only now trying to bring down an old man who is dying, and they are the real cowards. And he wasn't, he wasn't, never was.
No, his wife did not die because of the iniquity he had done.
No, my daughter is not where he is today because he is too protective, not because of the sins he has done.
No. Neither. He loved them, loved with his life, and loved at all costs. He originally wanted to give them the best in the world, and he once had that ability, but he didn't expect it to turn around later.
Who is sorry to admit it?
The elderly sometimes don't understand.
Is that kid sorry for our family?
Or is our family sorry for their family?
The old man is really confused, the old man may not have the opportunity to know in this life, the loopholes of human nature exist in everyone, everyone's humanity is remarkable, his, the passing years, are the same, and the soul may be full of holes.
The old man stood up, he had endured tears for so long, and was finally defeated by a "Dad".
Kang Ruoran don't look away, her father is so strong, she never thought that one day he would be so vulnerable.
The old man tried to stop his tears, but he didn't succeed, someone handed him a pack of tissues, the old man looked up, and through the cloudy old tears, he saw the passing years.
Fleeting time!
He shouldn't be here.
He turned his head again to look for his daughter's face.
It's only been a long time, and that unsophisticated face now looks full of vicissitudes.
I thought I could protect you.
I thought I could make your life clear.
What he thought was love at the beginning, so far, may have turned into harm.
But time can't go back, there is no if in life, things are moving forward, and today, the old man of the Kang family feels that his hands are stained, I don't know if it is his wife's blood or his daughter's tears.
He let out a long sigh, and Kang Ruoran had already thrown himself into his arms like a swallow. When he hugged his daughter, he felt a lot of pain in his heart, she was so thin, so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away. She used to be the pearl of her own palm, and even the envy of the whole city.
The old man silently swore in his heart: "Look at it, I will help her snatch everything my daughter has lost." No one can let my daughter be wronged, after you leave, Kang Ruoran has no mother, only I am the father, and I don't allow anyone to hurt her. ”
The old man was full of tears, and the muddy old tears fell into the fibers of his daughter's clothes.
"If so," whimpered the old man, "my son, how did you become like this?"
One old and one young, in the hall of the funeral home where the old lady of the Kang family came out, hugged his head and cried.
Liu Nian tied his hands to the side, his eyes were red, but he felt that his sadness seemed incompatible with this.
