Chapter 192: Follow-up
Knowing that the old man died after falling asleep, everyone accepted the fact that at least it was not so painful to go. Only close people were left in the ward, and the two brothers quickly helped the old man wipe his body, change into clean clothes, and wait for the arrival of the funeral home car.
Li Heping: "Mom and Dad can finally be together again, and they have been able to get their wish for so many years." ”
"Yes, the two of them are the most affectionate, they are together wherever they go, and it is enough for Dad to be lonely for so many years." Li Ya's expression was faint.
The brothers and sisters each recalled the appearance and past of their parents, and a faint sadness lingered. As for the juniors outside the door, they are already busy with their own affairs.
Sitting outside the hospital room with Luna in her arms at the end of the summer, the little girl was a little scared of death for the first time, and snuggled up to her all the time. The outside of the ward was empty and looked a little oozing. Zhuo Mo was old and his body couldn't bear it, Li Zhuoxin asked his mother to take it back first, but Luna could only follow him if she couldn't leave. Li Wenyin was forcibly sent back by her mother and Lu Yining, because she still had something to take care of in her stomach.
At the end of summer, he wrapped Li Zhuoxin's coat tightly, rubbing his calves, and was a little numb from the cold. I don't know how he is now, whether he has added an extra piece of clothing.
Luna grunted and opened her eyes, "Mommy? ”
At the end of summer, he patted gently: "Mom is here, go to bed obediently, and we will go home when Dad comes back." ”
Click, click, Li Zhuoxin walked in with his coat: "Mom was afraid that you would be cold, so she specially asked the driver to go to the house to get it, you go and change it first." Seeing that the end of summer was a little difficult to hold, he took his daughter: "I'll ask the driver to send you back first." Luna is sleepy. I'm probably going to be a little busy in the next few days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. ”
The end of summer can also understand that not only he is busy, but everyone is busy. "You're busy. Except for Xiao Xiao's side at the end of December, there is nothing to do, so I'll just bring Luna myself. When is cremation? Shall we go too? ”
She changed into her coat and immediately helped him put it on, his lips were actually a little purple from the cold, and she covered his face with both hands, hoping to warm him up.
Li Zhuoxin's heart warmed. Side face kiss her palm. It is reasonable to say: "You are my most important people, how can you not be there?" We have to wait for three days, and first put it in the funeral home for everyone to mourn and pay respects to the body. When the time comes, the people from the various units should all come back. ”
At that time, many people close to the Li family or leaders of the authorities will come, although he doesn't want to let Xia Late and Luna show up so early, but it is impossible to say that he will not be present on this occasion.
"What kind of habit is this, to be visited when you die. It doesn't stop. ”
"A formalized thing. It's basically like that, you just have to stand by my side when the time comes. ”
For Li Zhuoxin's reason, Xia Mo had scruples in his heart: "It's good that I still don't appear, and it doesn't have a good impact on you." "After all, the name is not right, and besides, there are some things that have not been dealt with, who knows what will happen next, such as his work.
Before Li Zhuoxin could speak, the door of the ward opened.
As soon as Li You came out, he saw the two of them standing and Luna, who was already asleep. whispered, "Why didn't you let your mother bring it back first?" Although the heating is turned on, the corridor ventilation does not catch a cold. "She didn't conceive for some reason, though. But he likes children very much, and it hurts Luna even more.
"I guess I was scared today, and I didn't want to leave. I have asked the driver to wait downstairs and send them back first. Li Zhuoxin explained.
Li You sighed, and then asked what he heard when he opened the door: "What were you talking about just now?" I listened to the late summer how to say that if there is no appearance, where will it be? ”
At the end of the summer, he looked at Li Zhuoxin, the other party looked down at his daughter, and he didn't mean to explain at all, so he knew that he was not ready to help him, so he scratched his head and explained: "Grandpa's memorial service, Luna and I still don't attend, it's not appropriate." After all, Zhuo Xin is still in the stage of being investigated. ”
Li You glanced at Xia Mo meaningfully, wanting to see if she really thought so, or if she had other meanings. At the end of summer, the scrutiny of her was still open.
"Since you follow Zhuo Xin to call my dad 'grandpa', then you are the granddaughter-in-law of our Li family, and you are the one he named to see before he leaves." She patted Xia Mo on the shoulder: "And the fourth generation of the Li family, now there is only one Luna, how can you not be there?" ”
At the end of the summer, he thought for a while: "Okay, I know, I'll definitely attend." ”
Li Wei nodded: "You guys go back first, it's good to have a few of our brothers and sisters to guard it, karma is our filial piety." You have a lot to do tomorrow to keep you busy, and you have to recuperate. ”
"I'll send them back and I'll go to the funeral home later." Li Zhuoxin didn't worry about a few elders, after all, they were all old, and it hurt too much to stay up late.
"That's fine, Chen Chen and Yining will go in a while, let's go back first." Li You stroked Luna's little hair and looked at her sleeping appearance.
Suddenly, there was a cry at the top of the staircase, startling several people. "Dad, why don't you just leave, don't wait for me."
Li Zhuoxin quickly hugged his daughter into his arms, but unfortunately Luna had been awakened and muttered uneasily: "Mom, Mom." ”
At the end of the summer, he immediately stretched out his hand and patted it: "Don't be afraid, mom is here, sleep obediently." But the little girl had already woken up, looked at the place where the voice came with trepidation, and could not sleep any longer.
Looking at the three people who came over all the way, sighing helplessly at the end of summer, it seems that Li Zhuoxin can't leave for a short time, so he took his daughter and said, "I'll take her back first, and you accompany the uncle and sister-in-law." ”
This time, Li Zhuoxin didn't say anything, but his brows were furrowed.
Li You objected, and said with a frosty face: "Zhuo Xin sent them back, and they won't be used for a while." ”
"Sister-in-law, I can, let Zhuo Xin accompany you." She knew that even if Li Zhuoxin stayed, he couldn't say anything, but he must not want to leave in his heart.
"Needless to say, you go back, we'll take care of it here." Hearing the wailing, Li Nanzheng walked out.
Li Heping also persuaded: "Go back, you're here, it's not easy for us to say anything." "The next scene is not for the juniors, they have to deal with some things. The old man explained before his death, the arrangements for Li Yuanzheng.
Li Zhuoxin picked up his daughter and held the hand of the end of Xia with one hand: "Okay." I'll go back first. ”
When passing by the family of three, Li Zhuoxin did not squint, and continued to walk towards the elevator without even pausing.
Li Yuanzheng asked, "Zhuo Xin, where are you going?" Don't you see your father here? Aren't you ready for a vigil? ”
The answer to him was that the convection of the air was silent, and Li Zhuoxin continued to move forward with his wife and children, not moving for half a minute, as if there was no one in front of him. At the end of summer, you can feel the eyes of Xiao Hua's mother and daughter. Unwillingness, resentment, hatred, but none of this has anything to do with her. She followed Li Zhuoxin's steps and continued to wail behind her. Mixed with scolding.
"Are you alright?" Late Summer grabbed his hand.
Li Zhuoxin smiled: "It's okay, let's go home." ”
For him, what are the most important people in his heart now, and he will no longer expect those unrealistic things.
The banner of mourning Comrade Li Yide was hung in front of the gate of the funeral home in City B. Late Summer and Luna also change into black and stand in the corner of the funeral home. There is a mourning note for his filial granddaughter-in-law on his sleeve, and he is baptized by the strange or curious or kind eyes of the crowd every day.
In the past three days, she arrived on time every day, and then left at the point, doing what she had to do, and picking up people in an orderly manner. The rest of the Li family also dissipated the last bit of doubt, after all, a politician needs not only a vase-like wife, but a partner-like woman. If the family can't help, then they have to be smart. The end of summer is considered to be passable.
At the end of the summer, I was actually very unhappy, and these scrutinized evaluations. Neither malice nor good intentions are signs of respect for people. Fortunately, this is a funeral, and no one will be too rude, otherwise she will be mad. She rubbed the corners of her eyes and cheered up, today was the last day.
She looked at Luna distressedly, and the little girl gave her a smile back, and although she didn't know what she was doing, she was still obedient. A bunch of condolences came in front of him, and Li Yuanzheng didn't say a few words and began to feel pain again, every time in the past three days. Let's compare and look at the others, although sad, but very decent. Sure enough, education is very important, and children can't be spoiled.
Li Xiaoxia took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, found an opportunity to sneak closer, and said in a low voice: "You are thick-skinned enough, when will it be your turn to stand in this place?" She looked at the black strip of cloth on her sleeve at the end of the summer and glared down at Luna, who was secretly looking at her, her eyes full of resentment.
Feeling Luna's limbs trembling, the end of the summer pushed back, her eyes darkened, and she whispered, "Grandpa didn't allow you to appear, why can't I come?" She turned sideways slightly, straightened her hair, revealing a turquoise bracelet, and was satisfied to see Xiao Hua's eyes darkened not far away.
How could Xiao Hua not be jealous, this bracelet was the old lady's dowry, and Li Yuanzheng passed it to Zhuo Tingting when she got married, and she asked several times but didn't find it. I thought that Li Zhuoxin would pass it on to Ye Lin when he got married, but he didn't want to wear it on his hand at the end of summer now. The older generation of people who are familiar with the Li family know that this bracelet, a rare old pit species, can be regarded as a symbol of the Li family's daughter-in-law.
At the end of the summer, she knew that their mother and daughter had been looking for an opportunity to trouble her in the past few days, although she didn't know what the Li family brothers and sisters said that night, but the Li Yuanzheng family was very hostile to her.
Of course, Li Xiaoxia also saw the bracelet, and she was crazy with jealousy. "Don't be complacent, we won't recognize your mother and daughter's identity."
Xia Mo laughed sarcastically: "I never need you to admit anything, you just need to take care of yourself." She looked at Li Xiaoxia's empty arms, she really didn't know why this woman was shouting in front of her, she knew that their own situation was not as good as her.
Although Li Yuanzheng took Xiao Hua to drive away Zhuo Tingting as a scoundrel, some identities are not recognized if you show up a few more times, and you will only be embarrassed to stay.
Li Xiaoxia originally wanted to say something, but watching Li Zhuoxin walk in step by step, she left quickly like a mouse. Listening to Ma Kai say that Li Zhuoxin has openly and secretly begun to clean up the mother and daughter in recent years, and Li Xiaoxia's marriage has been ruined by him several times, it seems that they dare not face him directly anymore.
Li Zhuoxin picked up Luna, and the little girl yawned and hugged his neck. He glanced at Li Xiaoxia, who was still secretly looking at this side, and asked, "What did she say?" ”
Late Summer patted Luna on the back, "What else could it be, saying I shouldn't be wearing this cloth." Just now I saw that my grandfather and brother-in-law were here, why didn't my mother show up? How's the mood? ”
The green tendons in Li Zhuoxin's temples moved, and then said: "It's not in the way, even if grandpa doesn't appear, he knows who his daughter-in-law is." You don't need to be polite to those people. I think Luna is a little tired these days, why don't you take her and grandpa and them back first. ”
At the end of the summer, he felt sorry for his daughter, and promised: "Cheng, there should be nothing to do with me." ”
Ye Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa, why do I still want to go?" I'm not in good health these days. "Actually, she didn't want to go to such a bad place.
Chen Zeen scolded loudly: "You shut up for me." ”
Chen Ying hurriedly said: "Ye Lin, it must make sense for grandpa to let you come, obedient and obedient." Dad, don't be angry and be careful with your blood pressure. ”
Ye Lin pursed her lips silently, ignoring her mother's hints in her eyes.
He was very angry about her divorce from Li Zhuoxin on her own initiative, if it wasn't for the rich family to propose marriage, he wouldn't know that his niece was actually pregnant. If the Li family endures this child behind closed doors again, then it will definitely be beneficial to the Chen family, but it is too late to say anything.
It's really time for Old Man Li to die, whether it's out of guilt or what, Li Zhuoxin will definitely be reused, not to mention that now he is still an unborn woman by his side, and he can't hold it down.
Chen Zeen looked at his granddaughter and scolded angrily: "Look at it, you are all spoiled." ”
Chen Ying bowed her head and felt very aggrieved, and this is not all her own responsibility. Besides, she didn't feel that her daughter was wrong, but she was wronged.
Ye Lin looked at her mother and said unhappily: "Grandpa is also divorced this marriage, you scolded, what else can you do?" ”
"Don't think that I don't know about your nonsense in the past few years, Li Zhuoxin is good, otherwise the Li family would have come to the door a long time ago. I shouldn't have listened to your mother and sent you to the United States back then, not to mention the ambitions, and to do things in a serious way. This is also the reason why he spares no effort to explain the concessions underneath, as long as the name is there, it is okay, as for whether the relationship is harmonious, it is not within his consideration.
Ye Lin was also annoyed, and said: "You don't know that he is a waste, do I want to follow him for the rest of my life?" Didn't you also praise Fu Xiaobo for being good? Recently, the stock market has soared, the assets of rich families have increased several times, and some overseas groups have taken the initiative to talk about financing, and the news has soared all the way. The future trend development is definitely good, I don't think he is worse than the Li family. ”
"Yes, I think that although the family background is a little worse, it is enough to cultivate it slowly, isn't it the same for the Ye family?" Chen Ying likes Fu Xiaobo, a young man who does tricks in three days, and is much more intentional than Li Zhuoxin who doesn't see each other a few times a year.
Chen Zeen was barely in a better mood, he had heard about the situation of the rich family in the past few days, otherwise he would not have let people come forward to vouch, let alone agree to his marriage proposal. It's just that, after all, it is a merchant family that is not as deep as the Li family, which is a pity.
"Anyway, you will behave more decently for me in a while, after all, you are also the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Many outsiders also watched, don't be compared to a girl from a small household, listen to the people who came out before, it looks okay. ”
Ye Lin has also listened to her mother's nagging in the past few days, and she is very irritable: "Listen to what those long-tongued women say, just find an opportunity to step on us." Look at the women your cousins playing, do you think you can get on the stage? ”
In fact, he is disdainful in his heart, can a girl who sells meat be decent? The women his grandsons play with are not all in that circle, and they know in their hearts how much worse they can be.
He just held his breath in his heart, always feeling that the situation was wrong, hoping that he was just thinking too much. (To be continued......)
