Chapter 178: Intellectuals
"What's going on?" said the counselor's mother, whose face turned green when she saw the coffin parked in the living room.
She swept the people in the living room and finally glared at me.
I walked up to her and explained to her curtly, "Auntie, my grandmother passed away and I didn't have time to rush back to my hometown, so I asked the counselor for help." You know he's kind-hearted and embarrassed to refuse me, so he'll lend us ......"
Before I could finish my sentence, I only felt a surge of air on my face, followed by a sharply fanned palm.
However, as soon as her slap touched my face, Jiang Yang grabbed her wrist: "This aunt, if you are unlucky, you might as well sell the house to me, and you can tell me a price." ”
The counselor's mother was so angry that her face turned red, she glanced at Jiang Yang and quickly withdrew her hand: "Is this a matter of money or not?" Song Qianxiu! You come over to me! What are you doing, it's too bad for you!"
She glanced at the coffin and pulled the counselor out with a dark face.
When I chased out, she was violently counting down the counselor: "Song Qianxiu, do you want to be angry with me or your father?
As she spoke, she kept slapping the counselor's arm with her hand, wiping tears from her eyes.
The counselor was a little childish in front of his mother, and said with a temper: "I haven't gotten the off-plan house I bought yet, otherwise I'll let Xixi send it to my new house! ”
"Say it again!" the man raised her hand in anger and slapped him, "How old are you, and you are still so ignorant? Is this a big problem for the deceased? You go to the hospital to see how many people are there who can't go home when they are dying, and you go and take everyone back with kindness! If it weren't for that little girl, I don't think you would have said that? Ouch, you're mad at me, you ...... you?"
As she spoke, she clutched her chest and gasped, as if her heart hurt.
The counselor was anxious and hurriedly helped her downstairs and said that she was going to the hospital to have a look. I chased down a few flights of stairs, and suddenly felt dizzy, so I had to grab on to the handrail and pause, probably because I hadn't slept well all night.
I touched my lower abdomen, sighed and climbed back up.
Before entering, I leaned against the mottled old wall for a while, all my strength was drained, and my legs were so weak that I slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground. I was worried that the counselor's parents would scold him, after all, no normal person would be as generous as the counselor.
Bao Yuanyuan helped me in, and she didn't know how to comfort me, anyway, she stayed with me from that moment on.
Zhou Jin's parents came to pay their respects near noon, and I ignored the objections of my uncle and aunt, so I contacted the car at the crematorium that afternoon to prepare to take my grandmother over for cremation. The crematorium was supposed to be booked, but fortunately, Jiangyang helped.
The weather in early May has begun to be hot, because of many factors such as narrow corridors, I did not rent an ice coffin yesterday, and my grandmother's body will rot and stink if it is left like this.
My aunt cried so much that she lost her mind, and when she was angry, she scolded me for not being filial, saying that I would not let my grandmother go in peace.
Although I was weak, I was still stimulated by her words.
I pointed to the coffin and couldn't help but shout at her: "Don't ask for Ba Yin, you don't have to ask for it! Now, the counselor is scolded by his mother! As far as you are filial, why did you go when your grandmother was sick and needed money for surgery? Who are you doing here when no one is there?"
It was probably the first time that the people present saw me angry like this in front of people, and they were all stunned.
My aunt was also instigated, and as soon as I was strong, her arrogance immediately weakened, and she opened her eyes and snorted: "Didn't you have no money at that time? What do you do when you keep mentioning old things? Aren't you talking about funerals now, you still have to do what should be done, otherwise your mother will not be able to walk steadily." They have to be buried for three days, how can they be cremated so early?"
"You have honored your grandmother for a few days, why should you listen to you! When she was alive, did you only pit her and be angry with her, so that she could live a good life? Grandma can't see your filial piety now, and I don't appreciate it. Don't think that if I promise to reconcile with you in front of my grandmother, I recognize you, you are not worthy! When my grandmother is buried, we had better never see each other again. ”
"Xixi!" Uncle thought I was talking harshly, and called me in a heavy tone, but he turned his head and began to persuade his aunt again, "Sister, Mom has always been taken care of by Xixi, and she can speak." Cremated today, sent back to his hometown for burial tomorrow, and the time is not in a hurry, which is good. ”
At this time, Jiang Yang spoke up, he changed his past informality, and said in a deep voice: "I am an outsider, I couldn't intervene in this matter, but my sister has the right to decide so." After all, this is not your home, just now the main owner also came to express his attitude, don't take advantage of the cremation now, if someone comes to pick it up later, it won't look good. ”
The aunt probably felt justified and knelt down by the coffin and cried for a while without saying anything against it.
After cremation, the coffin I bought was more troublesome, I didn't have a funeral when I was young, and I was so sad at the time that I would talk about buying a coffin, but my uncle and aunt were so old, I didn't use my brain to think about it, and I really bought one back. When the counsellor told me about the ice coffin last night, I learned that I could rent an ice coffin from the crematorium.
In a hurry, I began to miss Zhuang Yan again. When he was there, he was always able to arrange everything properly, and this kind of problem would definitely not arise. But thinking about it makes me sad, he doesn't contact me or come to see me, is he really ready to part ways with me?
After the cremation, I went back to my small home with the urn in my hand. Jiang Yang has already discussed with the landlord, although the landlord and his wife still have opinions about me taking the urn back, but they have not come to the door again to find fault.
My grandmother had lived with me in the small family for so long, and the landlord knew about it, but he later learned that my grandmother was sick, and he often came to see the situation because he was worried that her grandmother would die in his house, and that was why he was able to rush over in time to let me remove my grandmother.
After I settled the urn, I went to the old house of the counselor's family, where the monks had already helped to ward off the bad luck. Although I don't believe in this anymore, the superficial work that needs to be done must be done, otherwise the counselor will definitely be blamed even more by his parents.
When I was cleaning the old house, Bao Yuanyuan was always by the side to persuade me, and finally helped me clean it together when she couldn't persuade me.
"Hee-hee, don't be too uncomfortable. I talked to Boss Song last night, he is really good, and the relationship history is simple, you might as well ...... Beat the kid and talk to him. ”
She hadn't talked to me about abortion for a long time, I paused when I heard this, didn't look at her, just kept my head and continued to clean: "Yuanyuan, don't persuade me." I will use other ways to repay the favor I owe to the teacher, do you think I can be good with him now? I don't deserve it, Yuanyuan, the teacher should find a girl with a clean background. ”
"Don't say whether you are worthy or not, it's a question of whether you want to or not. Yuanyuan sighed faintly and didn't continue to persuade me.
When I was about to finish cleaning, a middle-aged man opened the door and came in, and he frowned in amazement when he saw me and us. He wore glasses, was lean, and had the air of an old pedant, and at first glance he was an intellectual.
I guessed he was the counselor's father, so I quickly greeted him respectfully: "Uncle, you are the teacher's father, aren't you? I have asked the teachers to drive away the bad luck, I will clean this place, please don't blame the counselor, I begged him to do this, he is considerate of the students so he did not refuse. ”
He didn't say a word, but lowered his eyes and looked me up and down: "That's good." Let's go, don't clean anymore. I also discussed this matter with Qianxiu's mother, and since the person has left, we will not pursue it. ”
"Thank you, uncle. "Their family is very well educated, and the mother of the morning counselor did not spill even if she was angry, and she had the quality of a high-level intellectual.
But I don't know if others will do this, the more considerate and friendly the other party is, and the more guilty I feel when I do something wrong.
So after leaving the old house, I asked the counselor's father about his wife's condition, and I heard that she was still in the hospital, so I asked about the ward number. He was a little hesitant and didn't seem to want me to disturb his wife.
But he opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say to me, and after waiting for a while, he heard him hug the ward number.
When I bought fruit and other things and rushed to the hospital, it was already half past four in the afternoon.
At that time, the counselor was peeling apples at the bedside, and when she saw us, she immediately greeted us: "Aren't you busy with the aftermath? Why are you here?"
"Song Qianxiu!" his mother covered her heart and frowned, shouting that her heart hurts, "You come over to me!"
The counselor smiled at us helplessly: "My mother is nothing serious, it's just angina, she's pretending to be sick now, Xixi, don't worry." ”
After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and went back to peeling the apple, and cut it into small teeth and served it to his mother with a toothpick to poke and eat.
My aunt's cultivation is very good, and after beckoning us to sit down, she asked me how my grandmother's affairs were going.
Bao Yuanyuan hurriedly told them what happened after they left, and specially exaggerated that I asked the masters to do things to drive away the bad luck, and cleaned the old house brightly: "The slightest bit of bad luck is gone, Grandma Xixi will be grateful for your great kindness, and will definitely bless the teacher with a wide range of financial resources and start a family as soon as possible." ”
It is estimated that the four words of starting a family and starting a business spoke to my aunt's heart, and she smiled and didn't mean to blame me at all.
All my nervousness slowly faded in the harmonious atmosphere, but as soon as my mind relaxed, my body, which had been tense for a day and a night, suddenly felt very tired.
When it was time for dinner, the counselor got up and wanted to take me and Bao Yuanyuan out to eat: "Mom, what do you want to eat? ”
Auntie suddenly looked at me with a smile: "I can talk to Shen Xi very well, and I want her to stay here with me." You see that she is very tired, you can just lie down here and sleep for a while, you can bring something back casually, and Shen Xi will eat with me at that time, so that I don't eat alone. ”
The counselor paused, and a blush suddenly flew on Jun's face: "Mom! no, Xixi will go to dinner with us, and they should leave after eating." ”
I realized that my aunt had something to say to me, so I had to brush off the counselor's kindness: "Teacher, I can't walk anymore, let me accompany my aunt here." ”
