Chapter 2: The Reunion of the Dead
"An An!"
The face was caressed by a rough, dry hand, bringing a slight tingling sensation.
Yan An opened his eyes in an instant, and the woman in the black-and-white photo in front of him looked at each other, the flames were jumping in the dark, and there was a choking smell of incense, candles, and paper fire in the air.
Yan An's gaze slowly moved down, and he saw the spirit card behind the firelight.
The spiritual seat of the loving mother Guo Rong.
"An'an!" said the man who had woken her up again, "it's time for the vigil." ”
Yan An's gaze turned back to the wrinkled face in front of him, his throat tightened, and he shouted dryly: "Dry milk." ”
Kneeling on the futon in front of the spirit card, Yan An handed the paper money into the brazier.
The dry milk looked at her behind the beating flames and asked, "Xiao Rong will be buried tomorrow, will your conscienceless father come?"
Yan An shook her head, trying to put her complicated thoughts in place, and she said vaguely:
"I don't know. ”
She really didn't know how to explain what was going on. It was the same a few days ago, when she was woken up and screamed hoarsely to inform her that her mother had died in a car accident.
Yan An was deeply surprised! Her mother had been dead for more than ten years, and besides, she clearly remembered that she had been murdered by Yu Ke and Chen Shun in a conspired effort.
She was dragged to the hospital and asked to identify the body under the white cloth. When that bloody face appeared in front of him, it completely blew up what little rest of Yan An's mind was gone.
The police's inquiries, the condolences of others, and the TV programs seemed to remind her that she seemed to be back to the day when she was 15 years old and her mother died in a car accident.
Before she could digest the confusion of squeezing her head, she had to go back and forth in the public security bureau of the funeral home, and she was almost overwhelmed by her mother's posthumous affairs.
The dry milk threw the tongs on the ground, straightened up and said hatefully: "Don't even think about it, you definitely won't come! You knelt in front of your mother when she needed money for kidney dialysis before, but what about him? God is really blind! Xiao Rong is such a good person, but she fell into kidney failure at a young age. Seeing that the disease has just improved a little, this makes people drink and drive and die. It's Yan Liang!"
The dry milk clenched her fists tightly, and there was a monstrous hatred in her eyes.
"I didn't agree with your mother marrying him in the first place! This kid has an evil face, and he doesn't look like a decent person. As a result, as soon as your mother was pregnant with you, he said that he would go to the city to work, and in a blink of an eye, he made a fake identity, changed his name and surname, and married his boss's daughter. Your mother took you into the city to look for him when you were only a full moon, and he didn't say that your mother was a nanny from the village, so he pushed and kicked your mother away. Your mother has been in poor health since then, and it is the root that fell at that time!"
Yan An thought of himself and Chen Shun in his previous life, and said, "I don't know people clearly, and I can't complain about others." ”。
The dry milk was full of tears, and her voice trembled and she spoke: "I thought God had opened my eyes when his company went bankrupt before, but I never expected that he would sell the house in your hometown when he turned his face and came back, so that you and your mother didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." This kind of beast who has lost his conscience is still alive and well, but my goddaughter Xiao Rong is gone early, leaving us old and young, how can we live this life in the future. ”
Yan An stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, sighed slowly and said, "The days will always pass." It's okay, it will be fine later. ”
On the second day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and before noon, the entire burial process was over.
Someone came to the village to help, and almost everyone had to tell her again: "Your mother is too bitter, too tired, and too guilty in this life." ”
Yan An clenched his hand again and again, and he had to bite off a piece of the soft meat in his mouth.
Before she was born, her father abandoned their mother and daughter. In order to support her, her mother was so tired that she cleaned and washed dishes in restaurants during the day, washed and washed her neighbors in the village at night, and picked up some cardboard boxes and plastic bottles in the town on weekends to exchange money.
Even if she had escaped this catastrophe, her mother would have died of kidney disease.
Poor and sick are not cured at all.
Yan An walked home with his dry milk, and from a distance, he saw a car parked in front of the house, and a black figure leaned on the front of the car. From a distance, it was a tall man, in his forties, wearing glasses and a round forehead.
It seems to be the brute who has lost his conscience in the mouth of dry milk, her father Yan Liang. No, he's called now—
Yu Shunkang.
Judging by his appearance, this man must have been a handsome man when he was young. It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the skin is, there is a body of carrion that has been eaten by flies and maggots, and Yan An can smell the foul smell on his body from a long distance.
The dry milk has a bad eye, and she can't see the person in front of her until she walks to her.
"Yan Liang!"
The dry milk who rushed forward was pushed to the ground by the man, and the man showed a cruel expression on his face that was very inconsistent with his face, and said, "Dead old woman, you are crazy!"
Yan An looked at the person in front of her, and felt her soul fly out of her body and flew into the cold and foul-smelling well, she even crossed this person, and could see Yu Ke, Chen Shun and the twisted moon. In an instant, intense malice soaked every inch of her body.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a slap slapped Yan An's head, and her so-called father was looking at her in disgust and asked, "What kind of eyes are you? Am I your father's enemy?"
As soon as Yan An's mouth moved, he felt a warm liquid flowing out of his nostrils.
"Oh, there's something to say. ”
At this moment, a small woman popped out of the taxi, she took Yan An's hand and pulled her behind her, and asked the person in front of her: "What are you doing beating children?"
Yan An looked at the white hand, and the woman in front of him, who was wearing a skirt and wearing Buddhist beads, and looked kind-eyed and gentle-tempered, was Yu Shunkang's wife after abandoning his family and children, Dong Xin.
Yu Shunkang spat on the ground and scolded secretly: "I don't have any education at all." ”
Yan An had a splitting headache and asked rhetorically, "What are you doing here?"
Yu Shunkang didn't look away, but Dong Xin said softly: "Your mother is not here now, I discussed with your father, the teaching quality of the village high school is really not good." It just so happens that your dad and I know someone who can send you to the best middle school in the city. I came here today to pick you up and let you continue your studies. ”
Yan An couldn't stop laughing and asked, "In what name did you take me back?"
"There's going to be a formal adoption process, and you don't have to worry about that. ”
"Adoption?"
Yan An laughed, thinking that Yu Shunkang and Dong Xin really had a good fight.
Her mother was hit and killed by a drunk driver, and the perpetrator's family had money, and in order to reduce the sentence, they promised to give her a large amount of compensation, Yu Shunkang and Dong Xin wanted to calculate the money, but they had no name. Yu Shunkang's identity has nothing to do with her Yan An in law, and only by becoming an official guardian through adoption can she dye the money openly.
Yan An thought, why wasn't she too surprised when she saw Yu Shunkang appear at the wellhead?
His father was such a person.
