Chapter 698: Goodbye
Many people thought that Qi Xiaoshu hadn't come to see his parents since he was thirteen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But I don't think it's strange. In a place like the columbarium, it is rare for a little girl to come by herself without the company of her family, of course, there are, but very rarely, and it is normal not to come.
In fact, Qi Xiaoshu came here when he was fifteen years old. On her fifteenth birthday, she felt like she was an adult and wanted to come and see her parents and tell them how she was doing, but as soon as she stepped into the columbarium, the scene of them being covered with white sheets came to mind, and she felt like she was about to collapse and stumbled out.
Never again.
After going back, she asked Qi Zongping if he had paid the deposit fee regularly, and Qi Zongping's reaction made her feel a little relieved. He said, once ** for five years! Besides, he doesn't dare to ignore this kind of expense!
Qi Xiaoshu thinks, so be it.
But now that she came to this columbarium again, she looked down on herself. What is there not to dare to come?
The heart is strong, and he is not afraid of any place, not to mention, he is to come to see his parents.
There were a few people in the columbarium who looked like they had just sent the ashes of their loved ones, but they looked calm and did not seem to be sad. Other than that, it's very deserted and quiet.
"I said that I want to send Dad's ashes to the Cloud Temple, why don't you agree?" A girl's voice broke the silence.
They turned their heads to see that a girl in plain clothes had stopped the men.
"Hey, it's her."
Qi Xiaoshu was slightly surprised.
Wei Changtian looked at her, "Acquaintance?" ”
Qi Xiaoshu shook her head, she didn't know this girl, but she happened to meet her in Minghuayuan last night. It was the girl who ran out of the private room in a panic.
At that time, a man came out and cursed.
I didn't expect to meet it last night, but I also ran into it in this kind of place today.
Among those people, there was a middle-aged woman who still had charm and lowered her voice and scolded: "Xiaoxing, how many times have I told you? The columbarium of the temple is not something that can be visited casually! ”
Kuyun Temple?
Dong Yicheng became a little interested, grabbed Qi Xiaoshu, who was about to walk away, and motioned for her to listen first.
The girl named Xiaoxing raised her head, she was about twenty years old, she looked very good, her eyebrows were delicate, like a lotus flower in early bloom.
She gritted her teeth and said to the middle-aged woman, "What do you mean that you can't go casually?" I've already asked, if I don't add sesame oil, then I can pay 800 yuan a year to be able to store my father's ashes there. My father has been tossed by you to make me peaceful for a day, and after he dies, can't you still do what he wants? All the money he left behind is for you to occupy, at least 500,000! And you don't even want to pay 800 yuan a year! ”
"What do you say? Your dad left 500,000? Who told you that? You're dreaming, aren't you? The little factory he left behind is still in debt! ”
"Impossible! My dad never owed money before, and he always paid the bills on time. In short, you must send him to the Cloud Temple. ”
"Hong Xing, let me tell you, isn't your father going to stay with her because your mother's ashes are also placed in the Cloud Temple? I also want to pay for it, and I want to be beautiful! If you have the ability, you can send it at your own expense! The middle-aged woman said and pushed her away and walked out.
A man walking behind glanced at Hong Xing, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxing, it doesn't matter if you put it here, although it is right that you heard about the eight hundred yuan a year in the Huiyun Temple, but the Qiyun Temple actually still has to donate sesame oil money, otherwise the temple is so big, and everyone has sent the ashes over, where is there a place to put it?" ”
"Sesame oil money, you can add two or three thousand yuan." Hong Xing said stubbornly: "I heard that this place is not easy to manage, and I have heard that there are some people who owe some preservation fees, and the ashes are directly poured into the drainage ditch outside!" Haven't you heard of this, uncle? ”
The man shook his head wryly, as if he was too embarrassed to say anything more to her, and turned and walked quickly.
Qi Xiaoshu and the three of them glanced at each other when they heard this.
Hong Xing lowered his head and wiped his tears at this time, as if the strength just now was pretended.
"Hello, I want to ask," Dong Yicheng walked over, "Is what you just said true?" ”
Hearing someone talking to him, Hong Xing looked up and saw a handsome and righteous face, red eyes, and tears that had not yet had time to wipe them away.
"What's the matter?"
She was a little confused.
"Will the ashes be dumped here?"
Hong Xing looked around a little nervously, saw Wei Changtian and Qi Xiaoshu standing not far away, and then looked at Dong Yicheng and hesitated.
"My parents' ashes are here, too." Dong Yicheng explained.
Hong Xing seemed to have just let his guard down. Qi Xiaoshu and Wei Changtian also walked over and looked at her with inquiring eyes. Hong Xing was amazed at the excellence of these three people, but he relaxed a little more, and said to them in a low voice: "I heard from an old man who lives near here, because the space here is under great pressure, and the fees are very low, and there are some people who have not been seen for a long time and have not paid, and the staff will casually dump those ashes in order to vacate the place." ”
Qi Xiaoshu gasped.
Dong Yicheng asked again: "Then what is the matter with the Cloud Temple?" ”
"Don't you know about the Cloud Temple? It is very famous in our D city, and many people still go there to eat vegetarian food. And the fire of the cloud temple is very strong, and the columbarium is also repaired, and the monks in the temple will go to the columbarium every three days to recite the scriptures, and it can be stored permanently. It's just that the fee is more expensive than here, and many people have to add a lot of sesame oil money. ”
Only then did Qi Xiaoshu understand what Dong Yicheng's purpose was for staying and listening just now.
Kuyun Temple?
She knew, but she only knew that there was such a temple in City D, and she didn't know about it, let alone that it could store the urn.
"Are you all right? If not, I'm gone. Hong Xing asked.
Dong Yicheng shook his head and said thank you.
Hong Xing waved his hand and ran out.
"Let's go, where are my parents? We'll go out and inquire later, and if what she says is true, we'll send our parents to the temple. Dong Yicheng patted Qi Xiaoshu's shoulder.
Qi Xiaoshu nodded and took a deep breath.
When she was about to see her parents again, her body couldn't help but tense again.
Wei Changtian and Dong Yicheng held her hand left and right at the same time.
The warmth and strength on both sides made her heart feel slightly relieved. She is finally not alone now, and she doesn't need to carry it alone.
"Let's go, over there."
She only now realized that although she hadn't come here for so many years, she remembered the direction and location clearly.
Qi Zongmin and Su Yunling's urns are side by side, and their posthumous photos are pasted on the lattice.
In the photo, both of them are smiling and happy.
