Chapter 81: The Warmth of Relief
When I arrived at the cemetery, according to the custom, I had to bow three times to pay homage to incense and burn paper, but because of Hu Yuening's inconvenient legs and feet, I simply saved those redundant etiquette.
Yuan Mu brought Lao Baigan and appetizers and placed them in front of the tomb.
"Wang Zhenghuai." Hu Yuening read the name of the tomb owner lightly.
"This is your grandfather, in fact, your mother's real name is not Hu Ning, but Wang Ling. I was adopted by your grandfather after your grandmother left the Wang family with your mother, so my name was changed to Wang Xun by your grandfather. Yuan's mother explained with a light smile, as for why Hu Yuening's grandmother left the Wang family with a daughter, she didn't explain much.
Hu Yuening nodded, and didn't ask more, after going through those things, she can be seen that everyone has their own stories and secrets, while being curious about others, think about their own first, whether they are willing to be honest with all their hearts? If others are willing to say it, they will naturally say it, and if they don't want to say it, they don't have to mind. What's more, the grievances and hatreds of the older generation have long been lost with the deceased.
Yuan's mother then told Hu Yuening a lot of the hardships when she and her aunt Wang Yi were young, as well as when they lived with their grandfather in the early years, from the Great Leap Forward to the mountains and the countryside to the natural disasters in the back, reform and opening up, and the stories she told were like old photos jumping past Hu Yuening's eyes.
When she heard Yuanmu say that she was a flower in the army when she was young, the smug smile on her face and the wrinkles engraved with the traces of time instantly made her look as innocent as a child.
Later, Yuan's mother said that she was tired, and said that she would sit alone with her grandfather for a while, and then go to see Yuanqing and his uncle when she rested, so the housekeeper who came with her led Hu Yuening back to the car first.
Hu Yuening saw that although the sunshine was good, the cemetery was still a little cold in the suburbs of the city, so he asked the housekeeper to take a shawl and give it to the mother to put on, then bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then walked towards Bai Ying's tombstone. Coincidentally, isn't it, all the old people she knows are buried here.
The photo of Bai Ying on the tombstone is still so youthful and beautiful, and the ring left by Yuan Qing last time is still there, but it has left a heavy layer of rust after being eroded by wind, rain, frost and snow, and it looks fragile, as if it will be broken into chips if it is gently pinched. Hu Yuening, who watched it, felt sad for a while. Now she is not sad that this ring was left by Yuan Qing, but sad about the fragile rusty ring.
Because it feels very desolate and depressed to look at, it is even more lonely and helpless in this gloomy cemetery.
The only consolation is that the tomb of Kashiwa Sakura seems to be cleaned by people often, and there are many bouquets of flowers next to it, and most of them are in full bloom, very fresh.
Hu Yuening couldn't help but sigh, "Bai Ying, your death must belong to the kind that is heavier than Mount Tai, you see, how many people have come to see you!" You don't feel lonely, do you? If it weren't for the fact that my legs and feet are inconvenient now, I would have burned some money for you or something. Ah, I'm really sorry, this time I forgot to bring you a bouquet of flowers, what flowers do you like? Your name is Bai Ying, next time I come in the spring, I will break the spring cherry blossoms for you, okay? She smiled, as if she had seen an old friend, "No matter what, I want to thank you, thank you for entrusting Yuanqing to me so reassuringly!" It's just that you entrusted him to me, but I gave him a nervous disorder, don't blame me......"
She had been entangled before, in this competition for the relationship between the three of them, would she be the one who became cannon fodder? COCO also once told her that the biggest winner in a relationship is always the first to withdraw, because a man will remember her open-minded smile when she turned around, and then condensed into an indelible mark on his heart.
Just like the once popular "Tokyo Love Story", even if Kanji Nagao and Satomi get married, they will never forget the free and easy look back and smile of Rika who met on the street. is also like in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Xu Ziling, who was standing side by side with his concubine Xuan, on the city tower, but he just wanted to blindly look for Wanwan's figure in the vast sea of people with just his ankle bell, so if you can't stand that he has always had another woman's place in his heart, then leave as soon as possible, the man you love will always miss you.
But now, in Hu Yuening's view, none of this matters. The only purpose of loving each other is to be together, otherwise it is to play hooligan. If you can't stay with the person you love for a lifetime, even if you turn around open-mindedly, even if you win his momentary infatuation, what can you do? Feelings are not radio waves and energy, where can they never die?
Alas, this couple ring of Bai Ying will be completely lost in a short time.
Thinking of this, Hu Yuening subconsciously touched the ring finger of his left hand. The feeling of emptiness made her stunned for a long time, and then she remembered that Yuanqing's bone ring was taken off on the day she had a miscarriage, but Yuanqing didn't take it away, and she seemed to have thrown the bone ring somewhere in a fit of anger......
Well, Kashiwa Sakura still has a ring, and she doesn't even have a ring now...... It's over, what now!
Hu Yuening had a headache, because she was not in good health some time ago, and Yuan Qing naturally didn't have the leisure to ask her about the ring, in case he asked in the future, if she was honest and frank, he would inevitably be in a low mood again. He's just depressed, but the bad thing is that he's been a special mother-in-law recently, and he doesn't know how long he has to grind her for this, he loves horses, he can't think about it, and his head hurts when he thinks about it.
Hu Yuening secretly made up her mind that she must go back to find a look, and if she can't, she will call her chief hospital to see if he has saved the broken bones she took out during the previous operation, and if not, she will make another bone ring!
As soon as he turned around, Hu Yuening aimed at a touch of white in front of the tombstone of Yuanqing's eldest uncle Yuanhong in the distance. She was slightly stunned, and then involuntarily walked over.
Pure white windmill chrysanthemum, Yuan Qing took her to see Uncle Yuan once, and he also brought a bunch of windmill chrysanthemums at that time, but now there are only a few in front of the tombstone, which looks a little bleak, and there are still a few drops of dew on the petals, obviously someone has come to see him in the past two days.
Whether it is a bouquet brought by Yuan Qing, or a current one, it is a pure white windmill chrysanthemum, it seems that Uncle Yuan really likes this kind of tweed, silent but noble.
So who gave this one? It is unlikely to be Yuan Qing, not to mention that Yuan Qing has not had much time to come to the cemetery recently, and even if he has time, he will inevitably bring a bouquet instead of one. Such exquisite packaging and taste look like it comes from a woman's handwriting. Could it be that COCO can't make it? After all, COCO is Uncle Yuan's daughter-in-law. However, it's not that COCO is unfilial or anything, it's just that according to COCO's big pinching temperament, it doesn't look like a person who will come to deliver flowers on this ordinary day that is not the Qingming Festival or the festival day!
At the right time, Yao Yao came to a cemetery caretaker aunt, the caretaker aunt held a white porcelain fat pot in her hand, saw Hu Yuening and paused in place, after waiting for a while, she found that Hu Yuening did not seem to be here to worship, so she walked over and poured the wine in a few wine glasses in front of Yuanhong's tomb, and then poured it full.
Seeing that the caretaker aunt finished doing it neatly and turned around to leave, Hu Yuening's brain was hot, and she hurriedly called out to her, "Auntie, take the liberty of asking, are you a friend of this Mr. Yuan?" ”
The caretaker shook her head, "No." ”
"Then you are ......"
"Oh, there is a young lady who gives me a thousand yuan every month, and asks me to pour wine for this gentleman every day, saying that this gentleman liked to drink very much before his death, and he can't sleep without two sips before going to bed, and he is afraid that he will not be happy if he has not drunk wine below. I couldn't make any good wine, only some ordinary two-pot heads. ”
Hu Yuening was shocked, "What kind of young lady, can you describe it to me?" ”
Aunt Management frowned vigilantly.
Hu Yuening also knew what she was worried about, so she immediately explained: "I am the nephew and daughter-in-law of this gentleman, and I have been lying on the hospital bed for a long time because of an accident, so I have never had the opportunity to come to see this uncle, so you may think that I am a stranger." After speaking, he stuffed a hundred yuan into the hands of the management aunt.
Aunt Management thought about it, and seemed to think that it was not a big deal to say it, so she said: "That young lady is very tall, more than one meter and seven, she has a very good figure, and she has never seen her appearance clearly, because she is wearing big sunglasses, but she should be very beautiful." ”
"Did that young lady say she was my father-in-law?"
"Nope." After saying that, the management aunt left.
Hu Yuening frowned and thought about it, and suddenly felt that his head was not good, why did he seem to have forgotten something?
When she walked back to her grandfather Wang Zhenghuai's tombstone, Yuan's mother had just finished burning the paper money, and was standing there looking at the tombstone motionless, looking very peaceful. A gust of wind blew and lifted the shawl on the Yuan mother, Hu Yuening hurriedly went over to re-pull it for her, and the Yuan mother woke up from her stunned by her movement.
"Mom, in fact, what I want to say is that grandpa actually has three daughters, all of whom are his Wang Zhenghuai's daughters!" Hu Yuening didn't know why he suddenly became so emotional, this sentence was completely blurted out without thinking.
After saying that, she felt a little uneasy, because whether it was her grandfather or the mother-in-law in front of her, they were all her elders, and she had just called people by their names!
Yuan Mu turned her gaze back to Hu Yuening, looked at it steadily, her eyes were gentle and loving, Hu Yuening became more and more embarrassed, lowered her head slightly, and spit out in her heart, telling you to speak without going through your brain, you don't know how to pass in your brain, now it's okay, you have to be told by your mother-in-law! But she didn't want her to be patted on the back of her hand by Yuanmu's right hand, "Silly child, Mom, a person of this age, I have already figured out what I have figured out!" ”
Having said that, Yuan Mu did not tell Hu Yuening, and just after listening to her words, her heart suddenly opened up. People say "old and young", once this person is old, he is more and more like a child, sometimes he will be unreasonable, sometimes he will make trouble with himself and be more serious, in fact, in the final analysis, he is just afraid of loneliness.
