Chapter 157: Father's Funeral

Until that night.

That night, after finishing my night shift, I was walking back from Haibin Road, and when I passed the river, I saw a girl standing on the river, looking at the rapid river under her feet, and her feet were moving out little by little. I broke out in a cold sweat, threw down my bike, ran up, and hugged her as she was about to plunge.

When I saw her face clearly, I couldn't believe it.

Your mother was in tears, her face was dead, and I had never seen her so desperate. Then I took her to my quarters, and she cried for a long time, not saying a word, only that I shouldn't have saved her. She wants to go, I didn't let her go, I don't understand, her own conditions are so good, and she is a top student of the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, what kind of things will she have to choose the extreme way to understand herself.

I took leave to watch her at home for three days, and for the first two days she didn't eat or drink, and I forced her to feed her. I asked her why she was looking for a short time, but she was reluctant to say, so I didn't ask, and then I noticed from the symptoms of her vomiting. When I asked her whose child it was, she wouldn't say. I was angry at the time, I was angry that she didn't care about herself too much, and I hated the irresponsible man who made her pregnant.

I drank some wine that day, and I told her that if the man was not responsible, I would like to be the father of the child, and as long as she wanted, I would treat the child in her womb as my own, and that was my truth. She was shocked when she heard this, and she said that she couldn't let me suffer such a loss. I borrowed wine to pretend to be gallant and told her that I had a crush on her for six whole years, and that there was nothing I could not do for her.

Maybe she was moved by me, or maybe she had no way out, and finally she agreed to me.

On the fourth day, she took me home and said that she was going to marry me, and your grandfather was very angry at the time, he couldn't accept his proud daughter, and married me from a poor background and a third-rate school graduate, and beat me hard, thinking that I had trampled on your mother. I took the opportunity to admit my mistake, and your mother expressed her determination on the side, although he disagreed, but thinking of the child in your mother's womb, he had no choice but to give up in the end. But he demanded that I have to be married, because my family is so poor, and your mother is his only daughter.

Although my family is poor, my parents don't want their children to go to other people's homes, which is a shame on the ancestors, and later your mother assured them that when the child was born with my surname, they reluctantly agreed.

At that time, I was still very grateful for her understanding, and I secretly vowed in my heart that I would make her happy in the future.

After I got married, although your grandfather didn't like me very much, he didn't embarrass me. Your mother's belly is getting bigger and more inconvenient, but I am gradually lazy, that is the happiest time in my life, every day after work holding her hand, walking around the community, and then to buy her favorite strawberry ice cream, watching her like a little gluttonous cat, my heart is like soaking in candied fruit sweet no. When I got home, washing her hair became my favorite thing to do.

At that time, I hated not being able to work half a day every day and then go back to spend time with her, but I couldn't, I had to work harder than before.

I worked hard to be a good husband at home, and I was positive at work, and after more than half a year of hard work, your grandfather finally let go of my prejudices, and I was promoted to section chief by the factory.

Everything is moving towards a bright future.

After you were born, we lived a happier life. Your mother also designed and built this villa herself, and at that time I thought I was the happiest man in the world, and I could give everything for your mother and daughter. I even tested her feelings, and never mentioned having children again. ”

My father said a lot in one breath. I could tell from his words that he loved his mother very much, but why did they become like that?

"Dad, what happened behind that made you and your mother like that?" I asked cautiously.

The father coughed suddenly, and then gasped heavily, and the eyes sunken in the bones were instantly filled with hatred, "It's all because of him...... If he doesn't come back, I'll ...... Won't ...... with your mother Become like that. ”

He ...... Who is he? I was stunned and asked.

"Ahem... cough," the father coughed violently twice, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Dad," I screamed, hurriedly helped him up, patted him on the back, and was about to call Dr. Zhao out the door, when my father suddenly grabbed my hand and stared at me tightly, "Tong...... Tong, Dad is sorry for you, you forgive Daddy...... Good no good. ”

"Daddy hurts...... It's your mother, and it's hurt again...... He, Daddy is sorry for you. ”

"Dad, he's ...... Who? I couldn't hold back any longer and asked crying.

"He, he's ...... I'm at Lawyer He's...... Left a letter after I left...... He will give it to you. He said with difficulty, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and his eyes were about to slam.

"Doctor Zhao, come in." I yelled out.

"Tong Tong, dad these days...... Had a great time. He almost lipsed at this point, and then, his hand drooped.

When Dr. Zhao pushed the door in, my father closed his eyes completely, and he reached out to probe his father's nose, frowned, and shook his head at me.

And I, there are no tears, but my heart is very uncomfortable with something. I stood at the head of his bed in a daze, looking at the face that was no longer human, unable to move for a long time. It wasn't until Zhang's mother came in, crying and wiping the blood from the corner of my father's mouth, that I sat down weakly.

Later...... I don't have any relatives.

That night, Wu Yue contacted the funeral home. Early the next morning, his father's body was transported to the funeral home, and Wu Yue arranged everything properly.

I asked people to seal the news about my father, and I also asked Guo Jingshu and Ye Qiliang not to reveal it to Zou Zichen, now his health is not good, and he can't let him run around to aggravate his illness.

The ceremony was so simple that I don't think my father would want to go out of his way. I only asked Wu Yue to notify some employees and directors who had a relationship with my father, and I didn't even make an announcement. My father's relatives hadn't moved for years, so I couldn't get in touch with them, so I couldn't tell them.

The ceremony was held for two days, and on the first day, there were more people who came to pay their respects, and almost all the old employees of the company came. The next day, there were a lot fewer people, and at noon, Lawyer He also came over, and after the bowing, he said something to me privately, saying that my father had left me some things and a letter, and asked me when I would go over to get it, or if he could send it to me, and I said that I would go to him after the New Year.

In the afternoon, my father's body was sent to cremation, when I held the bottle of ashes, my heart was very calm, I thought that my father was peaceful when he left, and he didn't have much regret when he finally went to bed, his only regret, now I guess I also told my mother, so my face was quite calm, not even a tear in my eyes.

My father bought the tomb by my mother's grave a long time ago, and I don't know why he didn't let the cemetery make my mother's tomb a double burial hole, so that she could be buried directly with her mother, but independently.

It wasn't until much later that I didn't know why he didn't do that, because he didn't feel worthy.

After the funeral, it is already twenty-nine, and tomorrow is the New Year's Pass, and I am so tired that I don't even want to move, and the New Year's work is handled by Zhang's mother. I lay in bed for a whole day, and by the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I thought that I could no longer lie in bed for the New Year.

In the afternoon, Guo Jingshu brought Guo Yanyan over, saying that the two of them would be more lively with us. How could I not understand his kindness, of course I gladly accepted it.

When they came, they brought a lot of dishes, Guo Jingshu said that he was going to show us a hand, so he was busy in the kitchen, Zhang's mother gave him a hand, and Guo Yanyan and I were on TV in the living room.

Before six o'clock, Guo Jingshu made a table of dishes, which really impressed me, I didn't expect him to be so good at cooking, this man is really not ordinarily good.

Just when we were about to start the meal, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Zhang's mother went to open the door, thinking that it might be Wu Yue or Lao Zhang.

But when Zhang's mother walked into the living room with Zou Zichen, my eyes turned red. I really didn't expect him to come, and in the morning Ruoxi girl told me that he was in the hospital, and even the doctor didn't let him go home for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, why did he come to Rongcheng?

He is dressed very casually, with cow pants on the bottom, a deep sweater on the top, and a khaki cotton jacket with a fur collar, which is so handsome that people want to scream.

I was screaming in my heart, but the man was standing at the dining table, looking at him dumbfounded, unable to speak with excitement.
