Chapter 120: A Parting
Next to the sofa was a small kang with a mattress of the same size and a neat bedding on it, which was the last place where the deceased had stayed, clean and clean, leaving nothing.
Sunshine opened the wardrobe next to it again, and saw that the clothes inside were clean and neatly hung, and even the panties and socks were folded neatly, which was cleaner than a girl's wardrobe. On the lower level of the wardrobe were two black suitcases, locked, and she tried to open the lock, but she didn't open them, and gave up.
After walking around the room and finding nothing, the sunlight shone to the West House again: the West House is Xu Juan's room, which is exquisitely furnished, with a large bed in one corner of the room, two beautiful crystal sconces on the wall at the head of the bed, and the futon is neatly folded; The furniture is very beautiful, simple black and white, but it looks fashionable and elegant, there is a dresser at the head of the bed, the cosmetics and jewelry boxes on it are neatly arranged, it looks pleasing to the eye, the sun looks at the pile of high-end cosmetics and makeup, I can't help but sigh that people are really real people who don't show their faces, the appearance of the house is so simple, but the inside is so well cleaned.
There was nothing to be found in the room, and she wandered back to the kitchen: the kitchen was a bit messy, probably because there were so many people eating here yesterday, although the stove and cupboards were simply cleaned up, but there were still a lot of grease stains and leaves, some kitchen knives and spoons hung haphazardly on the knife rack on the wall, the floor was also a little dirty, there were some firewood scattered on the white tile floor, and a few clumps of hair that had been trampled upheavily. It's really immoral! When Xu Juan comes back, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean up in an afternoon! The sun is idle. I simply picked up the broom next to the wall, swept all the debris on the ground, and prepared to throw it out. She suddenly noticed a problem with this cleaning. That's a lot of clumps of hair, and there aren't so many people who don't talk about public morality and comb their hair in the kitchen, right? If it's a person who loses so much hair, then he can't become Ge You?! She narrowed her eyes sternly, imagining a dark and windy night in which a female ghost with a disheveled head slowly crawled out of the corner. Sneak into the kitchen
Wrong! The day Xu Ming died was the day he and Yun Feng went to find the little fox, and that night was definitely moonlit and clear! But on a full moon night, a lot of things will change!

"For your sake, I became a werewolf. For you, burning madness" Sunshine hummed a song and walked out of the door of the Xu family, because he had just attended the funeral, in order not to bring bad luck to others. She first went to the shop at the entrance of the village. bought a lot of delicious food for the little Hanhan who had never met, and then turned back, waded across the river, and found Lao Wang's house.
"Aunt Wang, I'm here!" As soon as the sunshine entered the gate, she opened her voice and shouted, Mrs. Wang was coaxing her little grandson to play with a bicycle in the yard, and when she saw her coming, she happily picked up the child to meet her, "Sunshine you will come." Why do you buy so many things? It's time for your child to cough after eating too much! ”
"Aunt Wang, you don't understand! If you don't let him eat anything delicious, then what's the fun of his childhood. Yes, Hanhan! Come! Call sister! Call my sister and you'll have something delicious! Sunshine squatted down, picked up Xiao Hanhan, kissed his little face, and shook his chubby little hands! This kid is so cute!
Hanhan didn't recognize her either, and after a while, he became familiar with her, and the two children, one older and one younger, ran and chased one in the yard, having a lot of fun.

Li Yunfeng accompanied Xu Juan to the funeral home, waited for the cremation of the body, and then placed the urn, it was all over in less than two hours, and after a simple farewell ceremony was held in the farewell hall, more than a dozen people left the funeral home in several cars.
Li Yunfeng was not worried that Xu Juan was driving by herself, so he acted as a driver for her with ease, the weather was fine, and the sun shone hotly on her body through the transparent car window, Xu Juan suddenly had a feeling of returning to the yang world.
"It turns out that after this door, it is called the eternal separation of heaven and man." She looked back at the door of the funeral home, lowered her head and took out sunglasses from her bag and put them on, "The sun is so dazzling, why don't you put sun film on the glass?" She muttered to herself.
Li Yunfeng did not comfort her, but asked her: "In my impression, Xiao Ming didn't seem to have a heart attack when he was a child, when did he get this disease?" ”
"Xiao Ming's body has always been fine. The doctor said that it was a myocardial infarction, which was sudden, so I still can't accept it. The night before we talked about it in the middle of the night, and the next day he got up a little late, and I was drying my clothes in the yard, and I heard him calling me in the house, and when I walked to the door, I saw that he had collapsed in the corridor, and I quickly called the doctor, but it was too late. I had wanted to do an autopsy on him, but the medical conditions in the countryside were not enough, and besides, I didn't want him to suffer a crime after he died. Xu Juan tried her best to keep her tone calm, but she still couldn't help trembling slightly, in order to cover up, she took out her mobile phone and fiddled, as soon as she turned it on, Didi's text message prompt beep rang non-stop. She flipped through it quickly, occasionally picking out a few brief replies.
Li Yunfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had finally regained a little bit of human spirit.
Xu Juan replied to the text message and made a few brief phone calls before remembering that she hadn't finished what she had just said.
"It's okay, you're busy." Li Yunfeng said.
"It's all about business. I didn't turn on the phone for the past two days, and they thought I was missing, and the whole world was looking for me. Xu Juan explained slightly apologetically, and when she saw Li Yunfeng showing a hint of understanding, she also smiled bitterly, "You're right, Xiao Ming is not the only one in my life." Actually, I don't usually spend time with him, because he said that he wants to have his own space. It's just that I can't think about it...... I can't imagine how I'd live without him. ”
"I understand. If the dearest person leaves so unexpectedly in front of our eyes, we will all regret it, hate our own powerlessness, and even hate God's injustice, and don't even give us the opportunity to bear it for him. But life and death, we can't get rid of it, we can't change it, we can only accept it. There will always be moments when people fall into some kind of love that you can't get rid of, so at this time, you can't think about it anymore. Li Yunfeng said softly.
"So I want to thank you, in addition to sadness, these two days have also made me feel another kind of warm affection. Don't worry, I won't be left uneasy. In fact, I am still grateful to Xiao Ming, without him, I really don't know how to spend all these years without relatives. I gave him something to rely on, and he gave me the strength to endure no matter how hard it was. After my dad died, only our sister and brother depended on each other, for him, I didn't dare to slack off, I didn't dare to fall, I could only strive to strive for the top, because I not only wanted him to live a good life, I also wanted to be his proud sister, so that he could proudly raise his head in front of anyone. If it weren't for him, I don't know what kind of path I would have taken when I was alone. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I can still vividly remember the way he ran towards me every time he came home from school, from the age of ten to twenty-two, the expectation and warmth never changed, I just counted the days like that, and watched him grow up day by day. Xu Juan raised her hand, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and saw Li Yunfeng looking at her with a warm smile on her face. In such a sad moment for her, she didn't feel dazzling, only warm.
How many years have passed, and today, after many years of separation, she unexpectedly touched the tacit understanding and empathy.

At noon, Li Changfa went to his mother-in-law's house to pick up people. Sunshine is teaching Xiao Hanhan to ride a bicycle in the yard, Xiao Hanhan is sitting on the saddle, pedaling and patting decently, Sunshine is sitting on the back seat with one hand holding the handlebar, one hand holding the child, and two feet on the ground to let the car go forward, turning around in the yard.
Mrs. Wang and Hanhan's mother sat on the steps of the doorway picking mushrooms—it seemed that they had gone up the mountain today, and they had a good harvest.
"Sunshine, my mom called you home for dinner!" He shouted at the gate.
Mrs. Wang raised her head and spat dissatisfiedly, "You dead boy!" I'm not your mother, am I? Sunshine won't go back at noon today, so I'll eat here! ”
"Of course you're my mom! You're closer than my own mother! My mother isn't in a hurry if the sun doesn't go back, but my eldest brother is in a hurry, and he has something to do with her! Li Changfa explained with a smiling face.
"My brother is back! Then I've got to go back! Sunshine stopped the car, picked Hanhan down, and handed it to Mrs. Wang, "Aunt Wang, I'll go back first!" If Hanhan misses me, he will come to my house to find me, I will pick a cucumber for him to eat, my mother's cucumber is delicious! ”
As soon as Li Changfa heard it, his cucumbers might turn red in just a few days. Why? Sunshine fried!
"Alright, alright, if you have something to do, go back! Long hair, take this pot of mushrooms back to your mom and let her make chick stewed mushrooms for the sunshine! Aunt Wang said and stuffed a pot of picked mushrooms into Li Changfa's hand, and stuffed two handfuls of red tomatoes into the sunshine's pocket before letting her go.
As soon as Li Changfa saw it, she set up a pot of mushrooms, and her old lady had to kill a chicken, this abacus was really good. But he was still very happy, even when he went home and scolded him, he was happy, because he also loved to eat chicken stewed mushrooms!
Sure enough, as soon as she went home to learn from her own mother, Mrs. Li immediately became energetic, and shouted loudly unhappily, "She said that I have to stew mushrooms when I stew chickens!" I don't want to! I make chicken stewed vermicelli! Long hair for a while, you and Yaoyao brush a jar and pickle all the mushrooms for me! ”
For Sunshine, she loves to eat chickens no matter what they are stewed, so she happily went to the living room of Changfa's house to find Li Yunfeng. pushed open the door of the living room, but saw that Li Yunfeng was already lying on the sofa and falling asleep.
Sleep a little longer, he's tired from the past two days! Sunshine thought about it considerately, and then withdrew lightly, and ran to the back garden to help the old lady catch chickens! (To be continued......)
