46 To whom shall I go to?
My father-in-law had been lying there quietly, and my hope was getting slimmer and slimmer, but I still fantasized that he could get up again, and I always thought that he just didn't catch his breath, and that he should wake up after sleeping for so long!
I was wearing a filial piety robe made of white cloth, with a head sewn with white cloth, kneeling on the side of my father-in-law's body, looking up and seeing the two feet wearing longevity shoes, this is my kind father-in-law, that kind and upright old man, he is lying so quietly, he will never help me take care of my daughter again, he will never buy my favorite food for me silently, he will never open the handkerchief layer by layer for me to take out his hard-earned money, he will never say to me again: It's okay, there is me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After two days, I haven't closed my eyes, my eyes are open and closed, my father-in-law's voice and smile, I believe that my father-in-law will suddenly wake up at a certain moment, I hope that the first person to see my father-in-law sit up is me! It's like he slept and woke up to see his old daughter-in-law come back to see him. As tears poured out, I couldn't cry anymore, panting with heartache, snot and tears, and my limbs were numb and groggy.
The husband who was kneeling next to him felt that something was wrong, so he quickly called the eldest sister and the second sister to pull me away.
When she walked to the lower room, her daughter was there, so many people came to the house at once, she was a little frightened and confused, she was only two and a half years old, and she didn't understand the meaning of death at all, only that her grandfather was asleep! She went to her grandfather, she wanted to wake him up, she wanted her grandfather to accompany her out for a walk, she wanted to put her little hand on her grandfather's face like she did every day, and then stroked the bridge of her nose, looking at her grandfather's smiling and wrinkled face, but the adults hurriedly carried her away.
How did she know that the grandfather who loved her the most on weekdays and accompanied her all day long was gone forever, and she would never see her grandfather who regarded her as a treasure again! I hugged my daughter and cried bitterly, but my daughter didn't know what was going on? Cry with me!
Presumably his father-in-law's soul is still there, and he will feel distressed when he hears the cry of his beloved granddaughter? Or can't bear to leave because of the grief of your granddaughter? The old man really can't bear to abandon his relatives and leave ruthlessly? The daughter's crying didn't wake up the father-in-law, he was probably too tired, he slept too deeply, or he didn't want to wake up at all!
My father-in-law's life is a life of hardship and hardship, he has been running for survival, has been struggling on the poverty line, he worked hard, earned a coffin for his father, he moved his mouth and saved his stomach, he starved and gave the food he saved to his sister and children, he saved every penny, in order for his wife and children to be fed and clothed, he worked tirelessly, for the family to be better and better......
I have suffered in difficulties, struggled in poverty, after so many years of hard work, the days are just about to improve, and I am planning: one day I will take the old man to my home to do my filial piety, but I don't want to-he just left so suddenly, so that everyone is caught off guard! It's hard for all people to accept!
In the early morning of the third day, everyone took the car to the crematorium together, and I kept shouting in my heart: "Dad, you have a bad trachea, walk slowly, watch the road, and go all the way!" ”
Standing in front of my father-in-law's body, I silently stared at the familiar and friendly face, which was now lifeless. I opened my eyes wide in the hope that a miracle would happen at the last critical moment, thinking that my father-in-law slowly sat up, glanced at the people present with his eyes unhappily, coughed twice, and then walked away angrily.
I watched intently, still the same face, a frozen face that did not move, withered yellow skin, a half-open mouth, closed eyes, no matter how I prayed, I wanted to pierce it, but he still refused to open his eyes for one last look. The body was pushed away, and with a sad cry, the father-in-law really left without any regrets! I'll never see that look of concern again, and I'll never see my beloved father-in-law again!
Everyone waited outside in silence, as if there was no hope, the sky was gray, everything around them was so bleak and heartless, and from time to time there were bursts of crying. I knew in my heart: it is impossible for the people who have sent this place to the furnace to go back! The father-in-law didn't see his second daughter getting married, can he feel at ease when he leaves?
Although I don't want to accept the reality of my father-in-law's death, he really can't come back! I lost my father-in-law who treated me like my own father! Lost the most trusted and amiable father-in-law in this family! All along, I always feel that there is a kinship between me and my father-in-law, and when my father-in-law leaves, am I also estranged from this family?
When I knelt down and picked up my father-in-law's ashes with both hands, there were still some hot ashes that made my heart even more sad and hopeless, a living person turned into a pile of ashes, a living life just ceased to exist, is there really an afterlife? I can only look forward to an afterlife, I must be my father-in-law's biological daughter!
The ashes are wrapped in a red cloth and then placed in a small coffin nailed into a wooden board that is one meter long and less than half a meter wide. Life is like dust, so short, so small!
The father-in-law's new "home" is located in a halfway up the mountainside connected by the mountains, at the foot of the mountain is the daughter river flowing in silence, there are several lonely tombs around, the top is the grave of the parents, because the father-in-law lost his father at a young age, and after marriage, the mother-in-law went to move the grave when the bones were gone, and the mother-in-law used a live rooster to bring the soul of the grandfather to this place with good feng shui to settle down. Only then did we have today's ancestral grave and a place of spiritual comfort for our families.
I think that those who have died immortals, those whose physical bodies have long ceased to exist, their souls should live in heaven, and the burial body can only be regarded as an old mansion at best! Of course, people are nostalgic for the old, and it is necessary to go home often to see, so it is still the easiest to communicate with the deceased in front of the grave, and it is also the easiest to be accepted to burn paper and send money in front of the grave.
The father-in-law's house is quiet everywhere, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, away from the noisy and chaotic, which is suitable for the father-in-law who likes to be clean and does not like the lively residence, especially with his beloved parents, presumably the old man is really "happy"!
I came to the grave when I was in the first period, and there seems to be some saying at the time of the burial, that the female dependents are not allowed to come forward, so I arrived for the first time in the seventh day. The two sisters cried and asked: "Dad, take the money!" Put the money away, I don't have any money to dream! ”
"Dad, this is your favorite pear" "Dad! You have to bless your mother with peace and a long life! ”……
After burning the paper money, everyone kowtowed to the old man again, and then walked slowly down the hill with a gloomy and gloomy expression.
I left behind, and when everyone left, I knelt silently in front of the grave: "Dad, you just left, from now on I won't even have a head to go home, you love me the most, but you just left, who do you let me go to in the future?" Dad, why did you leave so quietly and suddenly? I'm still ready to take you home and retire for you! Dad, you love me the most, why don't you give me a chance to be filial to you? I really regret not coming back to celebrate your birthday and spend a happy birthday with you, do you know how much I should hate myself? I would really regret it for the rest of my life! Dad, why did you say just go? Your eldest granddaughter is still young, so you are so relieved to leave? Father! I know that you have a spirit in heaven, and you want to bless your most beloved granddaughter, let her grow up healthy and smooth, and bless your family with safety! Dad, please rest assured, I will do my best to support my mother, and I will do my best to get along with my brothers and sisters! ……”
My husband noticed that I didn't follow, so he turned back and picked me up who was crying in a low voice, "Father-in-law, goodbye!" Our fate in this life is too shallow, I will definitely be your good daughter in the next life! ”
As everyone walked silently down the mountain, as far as the eye could see, the gray sky in the distance made it even more cold and desolate.
I wonder if the new father-in-law has met his parents who are concerned about him? Lonely and helpless since childhood, has he found relatives to rely on? Is he adapting to the new world? Has the old illness that tormented him for so many years been cured in another world? Is he comfortable and happy in the new environment? Will he still remember his relatives in his previous life, and will he still be concerned? When will he be reborn into the world?
With too much melancholy, I left my father-in-law's resting place, and I don't know when I can visit again in the future? I don't know if there is a chance to continue the frontier? Anyway, I won't have a chance to see you again in this life! Rest in peace, Dad!
