Chapter 291: No Appetite
After Jiang Xinyi called to reprimand Wang Fei, she sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the portrait of her father on the mourning platform in a daze.
The father in the glass picture frame always looked at her with a smile on his face, as if telling her about his attachment to life.
I recalled my father's teachings when I was a child, and recalled that my father had grown with her like a big mountain, like a big tree, letting her rely on her and shelter her from the wind and rain.
Now, this big tree has fallen suddenly, and my heart is infinitely sour, and I am extremely sad and angry.
Jiang Xinyi fell asleep on the sofa with deep condolences and deep nostalgia for her father.
Jiang Xinyi's mother came out of the bedroom, knowing that her daughter was reluctant to leave the living room where her father's spiritual platform was placed, so she gently laid her flat on the sofa and took out a quilt to cover her.
The sun rises in the east, and a ray of sunlight shines through the curtains into the living room.
Jiang Xinyi slowly opened her eyes and found that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, her head was groggy, and she felt quite sleepy.
I wanted to sleep for a while, but when I saw my father's portrait and remembered that the leader of my father's unit was going to hold a memorial service for my father today, I patted my head vigorously and sat on the sofa for a while.
She walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, adjusted the water temperature, and took a hot shower, only to feel much more sober and comfortable.
When she came out of the bathroom, her mother was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The mother looked at her daughter's haggard face and said distressedly: "Xinyi, you have worked hard all night, let's eat something first, breakfast has been prepared for you and put on the table." ”
"Mom, have you eaten it?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"I can't eat it." Mother shook her head.
Jiang Xinyi pretended to say: "If you don't eat it, I don't want to eat it either." ”
"Oh well. Let's eat together. Mother looked at her, sighed, and sat down at the table with her.
On the table are two cups of hot milk, a plate of fried eggs, a plate of stir-fried vegetarian dishes, and a few steaming steamed buns.
I remembered that my father used to exercise in the morning. As the family sat together for breakfast, Jiang Xinyi shed tears while drinking milk, eating scrambled eggs and nibbling on hot steamed buns.
As if something was clogged in his throat, he couldn't swallow it all the time, so he forced himself to eat some, drank the milk in his cup, and got off the table.
Her mother also ate very little, and Jiang Xinyi helped her father put on incense and light candles. Silently sat on the sofa in the living room, and continued to look at his father's portrait in a daze.
"Xinyi, from now on, you will no longer have a father, you have to learn to be strong, if you can't get along with that beast, just move back to live, mom is home alone. It's so lonely. ”
"Mom, Dad died because of me. I can't leave you alone, don't worry, no matter what my life is like in the future, I will always be with you. ”
"Xinyi, you are really a good daughter of your mother." Mother said, holding Jiang Xinyi in her arms. The mother and daughter hugged their heads again and cried.
At nine o'clock in the morning, some neighbors and colleagues from Jiang Xinyi's father's unit came to greet and send condolences and wreaths and other things.
After Yang Fang sent He Ying, who had come to look for Wu Bo, out of her office, she took a taxi in front of the Xinyuan Real Estate Company building and came to Jiang Xinyi's mother's house.
The living room was already full of guests. Wreaths were placed.
Yang Fang came to Jiang Xinyi's mother and asked with concern, "Auntie, are you feeling better?" ”
"It's better," Jiang Xinyi's mother said politely, "Fangfang, you're here, let's sit down for a while." ”
"No, thank you, aunt!" Yang Fang responded to Jiang's mother, and saw that Jiang Xinyi was greeting guests, so she went up and took her hand and walked into Jiang Xinyi's bedroom, saying, "Xinyi, I'll talk to you about something." ”
"Fangfang, what's wrong with you? What is so mysterious? Jiang Xinyi asked suspiciously.
Yang Fang asked, "Do you know that Wu Bo has a cousin named He Ying?" ”
"He Ying?" Jiang Xinyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you know her?" ”
"She just came to the company to find Mr. Wu and said that Wu was always her cousin."
"Nonsense, why is this woman so shameless?" Jiang Xinyi said hatefully: "It was because of her that I broke up with Wu Bo." ”
"So, He Ying is not Wu Bo's cousin at all, is she the kind of woman who wants to be close to Wu Bo?"
"Yes," Jiang Xinyi nodded, "Why did she pop up again?" ”
"I don't know." Yang Fang shook her head blankly.
"No, I must tell Sister Chen about this and let her beware of this woman." Jiang Xinyi dialed the mobile phone number left by Chen Bing for her.
However, Chen Bing's mobile phone was turned off.
After a while, the landline phone at home rang, and Jiang Xinyi went to answer the phone.
Chen Bing's voice came from the microphone: "Xinyi, how is your father's funeral handled?" ”
Jiang Xinyi replied: "My father's unit organized and held a memorial service for my father this morning, and we will go to the funeral home in a while. ”
Chen Bing said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't leave now because I can't come to your father's memorial service." ”
Jiang Xinyi asked with concern, "Sister Chen, has something happened?" ”
Chen Bing said faintly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Xiaoqian is sick and hospitalized, and I am now in the hospital to accompany her for infusion." ”
"What did you say?" Jiang Xinyi asked in surprise: "What did Xiaoqian hospitalize for?" ”
"She had a high fever last night." Chen Bing's voice was a little hoarse.
In order to hold a memorial service for the old man Jiang, Chairman Sun of the trade union arranged a bus and a truck.
The two drivers drove over and parked the car downstairs at Jiang Xinyi's mother's house, and relatives and friends carried the wreaths placed at home to the truck.
Everything was packed up, everyone got into the car one after another, and a car full of people sat in the car.
Chairman Sun looked around and suddenly asked Jiang Xinyi's mother, "Hey, why didn't you see your son-in-law?" ”
"He went to the traffic police team, and he went directly to the funeral home in a while." Although Wang Fei is unkind, Jiang Xinyi's mother can't be unjust, she knows that family ugliness can't be publicized, so she tries her best to cover up for Wang Fei.
Jiang Xinyi sat in the front row of the bus holding a portrait of her father, and her mother and Yang Fang sat on her left and right.
The driver of the bus started the car, and the car slowly drove out of the community.
Another truck carrying goods followed, and after setting off a string of firecrackers, the people on the truck threw paper money all the way in the direction of the funeral home.
……
When Wang Fei woke up, he was already on the sun.
Suddenly remembered that his father-in-law's body was still in the funeral home, and relatives and friends came to mourn, so he hurriedly got up with his clothes on, washed up briefly, rushed out of room 1414 of the Green Hotel, and went to the registration hall on the first floor to check out.
"No matter how Jiang Xinyi's mother and daughter treat me, or what others think of me, I can't ignore my father-in-law's future." Wang Fei thought so in his heart.
Hurriedly walked into the parking lot, drove his BMW 730 car, and walked along the busy street to Jiang Xinyi's mother's house. (To be continued......)
