Chapter 54: Parting and Parting

After the noise, it is parting.

Although it has been three days since Grandpa died, everyone always has the illusion that he is still lying there, where he can see, he has not gone anywhere, and when he wants to cry, he goes to look at him, wipe the soybean oil lamp on the table, and pick out the wick.

Rules and regulations, take up everyone's time to the full, provide food, burn paper, chant scriptures, just go to the ancestral hall to kowtow to the ancestors, and come back to discuss how to write the inscription.

Sending away a wave of guests, another wave, relatives and friends, just holding the coffin, the gods and ghosts are not afraid, talking about the past, saying that he dreamed back at midnight, saying that his smile is still the same.

However, at this moment, the funeral coffin was carried to the funeral, a fire, a pinch of soil, and a new grave in Qinggang, which could no longer be seen.

I can't anymore, hypnotize myself, it's a feast of joy but not sorrow.

Grandpa Jiang's old brothers grabbed the coffin and stubbornly refused to let them into the hearse, Jiang's mother hugged her aunts and grandmothers, crying uncontrollably, and her children and grandchildren cried while persuading the elders not to hurt their bodies. After pulling and pulling like this for a long time, the old relatives of the clan who had a violent temper shouted "Don't miss the good time", and forcibly dragged and dragged people into the car and took them away.

The long convoy set off, leaving behind wreaths that could not fit and the remnants of chrysanthemums that had fallen off, and the couplets swayed in the wind in the last cold winter, and the inky handwriting was wet with rain.

The rain in winter, I didn't expect it to be colder than snow.

Many oranges, in the confusion, retreated to the house, did not get into the car, she did not have the courage to go to that place, the green smoke in the chimney, the ID card with the cut corner, the cremation slip in exchange for the death certificate. It's all things she fears.

At least, at this moment of her life, she was afraid, so if she could not see it, she would not see it first.

Tears flowed down unconsciously, walking in a strange home in a daze, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, her legs began to throb, and Jiang Nan's relatives and deceased people came and went, she wanted to try to walk straighter. Just a little bit. But it backfired, and after taking a few steps, he made a "poof" and landed on all fours. Water in a mud pool. Splashed all over his face.

The little baby beside her cried out in fright. Unable to coax him, his mother had to hurriedly say "sorry", picked up the child and left quickly.

Then came an old woman on crutches. Tried to pull a lot of oranges, but almost lost his center of gravity, fell down, fortunately the most painful time for many oranges passed, quickly got up to support her, the old grandmother sighed, smiled: "Old and old, useless~ Good boy, don't cry, be careful when you walk next time, go back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold~"

Yes, it's useless, it turns out that this feeling is called useless, it turns out that she is not old, but she is not useful......

Crying and returning to Jiang Nan's house, she took a numb bath, curled up in the quilt, and then cried until she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she felt that someone was leaning on her and lying in her clothes.

The person who came was naturally Jiang Nan.

Looking at Jiang Nan's sleeping face for a while, many oranges rubbed their dry eyes, trying to get up, but felt that she had a few strands of long hair pressed by Jiang Nan, she bared her teeth and tried to pull it out gently.

Jiang Nan didn't sleep very well originally, but when she made her like this, she woke up, raised her hand and moved it, making her withdraw her hair.

Many oranges got back into the quilt again: "Well, you go out first, I'll change my clothes, and then you can go back to bed." ”

Jiang Nan glanced at the clock, yawned, and then sat up and said, "Don't sleep, I'll wait for you outside, you get up and pack your things, Bao Rui will go back to Shanghai later, you go with him." ”

"Aren't you leaving?"

"I can't leave until I spend the first seven days in the country."

"Oh."

"What's the matter, can't you miss it?" Jiang Nan looked at her sullen appearance and said with a smile, "The first seven years are the Chinese New Year's Eve, if I send you back at that time, it is estimated that your mother will not have a good time, or will you simply spend the New Year at my house?" ”

Many oranges shook their heads vigorously wrapped in the quilt: "Of course not." ”

"Look at what you're cowardly," Jiang Nan couldn't help but reach out and flick her cheek, "Then don't hurry up!" ”

Many oranges wanted to reach out and scratch him, but he flicked it again, scratched it again, and f......licked it again, and the battle ended quickly: "Woo, I was wrong, Daxia spares his life!" ”

Jiang Nan pinched her face again, then got out of bed in a victorious manner, went out of the room, and went outside to wait for her, Bao Rui had already driven the car to the door, Jiang Nan walked over and said, "When I get to Shanghai, find a place to buy something to bring to her parents, and help me pay a visit to my early years." ”

"Well, I will," Bao Rui got out of the car, thought about it, and said, "but I don't know her physical condition because of her parents' attitude." ”

"Orange is very filial," Jiang Nan's smile was a little helpless, "I should want her parents to have a good year." ”

Master Bao, who has always prided himself on being hard-hearted, couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity~"

The voice fell, and he was punched coldly by Jiang Nan, he raised his hands and protested a little aggrievedly: "Hey, as a brother, I didn't tell you, and I didn't persuade you to give up, righteous?" Didn't I just sigh, you still beat me, what do you mean?! ”

"It's almost the New Year, so you have to be auspicious."

Bao Rui stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at him: Very good, very good, I was speechless.

Many oranges went downstairs, first loaded the luggage into the car, and followed the two to lunch, after the funeral, the ceremony that needed to feast guests was over, today there are only their own family members left on the dinner table, under Bao Rui's strong recommendation, many oranges cooked with their hands, and once again brushed the favorability of the Jiang family, everyone said: Jiang Nan's daughter-in-law is a good choice, Bao Rui, you have to hurry up Wow, you are the oldest in the family, and there is no object yet!

Bao Rui: In vain, my eloquence is so good, why is there no way to get home?

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was besieging Bao Rui, Jiang Nan pulled a lot of oranges from the dinner table and withdrew, paced to the door of the ancestral hall, and waited for many oranges to run to take pictures with the peach blossoms at the door, he said: "You have to leave later, and then go in and kowtow to grandpa." ”

Many oranges nodded, and he led them in, kowtowing to Grandpa's tablet, Jiang Nan said again: "The ancestors are here, let me take you to recognize people." ”

"Huh? Oh. ”

"This is my great-great-grandfather, who brought us to move here, this is my great-grandfather, I heard that he stayed abroad, this ......"

He introduced one, and he kowtowed, and many oranges didn't know how to react, so they had to do it.

After admitting everything, Jiang Nan reached out to help her stand up and asked, "Are your knees okay?" ”

Many oranges looked at him inexplicably: "No." ”

"That's good." Jiang Nan answered, but still uneasily, she bent down and dusted her.

Many oranges felt that the atmosphere was weird, and pulled out a smile and said, "Then, let's go back, Bao Rui should finish eating." ”

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"That's right," Jiang Nan was a little nervous for some reason, "I originally planned to visit your house on the first day of the new year, but now I have filial piety, according to our rules here, I can't go to people's doors until the fifth day of the first lunar month, so I plan to visit your house on the sixth day of the new year, is it okay?" ”

Many oranges listened to his words in a daze, their eyes were hot, and they blinked several times before they held back their smiles: "Oh, that, in fact, don't be so troublesome, my family goes back to my father's hometown every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to my grandparents, because the way back and forth is relatively far, so I don't come back until my parents go to work." ”

"If you go to work, the Spring Festival holiday should be on the seventh and eighth days of the new year, then I will go to your house on the ninth day of the new year-"

"—no," she refused, again, "really, if you have your mind in mind." ”

"Yes," Jiang Nan replied naturally and sincerely, "You should know, I like you and want to date you on the premise of marriage." ”

He still said it, why did he have to say it when she couldn't face it at all, let himself refuse: "I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay," Jiang Nan blocked her voice, "I don't want you to reply now, I just want to tell you my attitude, anyway, confessing this kind of thing should have been a man's initiative." ”

Many Orange endured it, but still couldn't hold back her tears, she tilted her head, trying to make herself look decisive, "I know you like me," I like you too, "I know you're good," it's me who don't fight, "I know I'm going to be happy with you," but with me you won't be happy, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, it's me who shouldn't have provoked you, I shouldn't be your fan, I shouldn't have met you, I shouldn't be so selfish, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I can't accept your ......"

She cried so much, Jiang Nan hugged her, distressed and helpless, afraid that her emotions would get out of control again, and she didn't dare to suddenly break the truth she already knew, so she had to comfort slowly, and when Bao Rui found it, many oranges were already crying out of breath.

Bao Rui: What'shappened?!

"You're here, wait a minute." Jiang Nan wanted to discuss with Bao Rui, whether to delay a day before leaving, but he didn't expect many oranges to see him, as if they had seen a savior, they got rid of Jiang Nan, hurriedly climbed into the car, closed the door, and cried to leave.

The two couldn't do it, so they had to follow the wishes of many oranges and send her home. (To be continued.) )
