Chapter 168: The Little Girl's Tale
In the hall of a funeral parlor, there are people coming and going, guests and staff, and the answer is self-evident as to what these people are doing.
At the very front of the hall hangs a magnified black-and-white photograph of a woman at the same time.
In a luxurious coffin lay a woman, a woman who looked about 40 years old but was well maintained, in general the woman was beautiful, the woman lay there peacefully with her eyes closed, as if asleep, surrounded by flowers, but alas... But she would never wake up.
Looking at the people in the hall who went to bow to the women one by one and present wreaths, one of them was a middle-aged man with a white flower on his chest standing silently on one side of the hall, and in front of the man stood a little girl, the man also kept putting his two hands silently on the little girl's shoulders, and looked at the woman in the coffin in silence with the little girl.
But then, the little girl spoke, looking at the crowded hall, the little girl asked the man behind her in a childish voice, "Dad, why is Mommy lying there?" And why do so many uncles and aunts go to bow to her flowers? ”
After hearing the words of the little girl in front of him, the man was silent for a while, but he reluctantly showed a smile to the little girl, and then said: "Mom is sick, she needs to rest, and these uncles and aunts are here to wish your mother a speedy recovery and a successful trip to heaven."
Hearing the man's answer, the little girl then raised her head and looked at the face of the man behind her and continued to ask, "Heaven? Are you saying that mom is going to heaven when she recovers? So where is heaven? ”
The man continued, "This paradise is a very happy and beautiful place, and whoever goes there will never get sick and will live in that place forever."
After hearing this, the little girl's expression suddenly had a look of yearning, so then the little girl asked again, "Heaven is so beautiful, so how far is it?" Can we go there to see mom then? I'm happy with my dad, but I don't want to be separated from my mom either. Forehead... Anyway, I just don't want to be separated from my dad or my mom. ”
Hearing the little girl's answer, the man smiled with relief, and then he squatted down and looked into the little girl's eyes and said, "Actually, one day you, me, and your mother will meet in heaven, but the only difference is that your mother went first, it is estimated that in more than ten years, Dad will go somewhere, and then you will be the only one left, but you don't have to be lonely, because as long as people will go to that place in heaven sooner or later, so now Dad and you can make an agreement?" ”
After hearing the man's words, the little girl asked curiously in that immature voice, "What agreement?" ”
"That is, mom will go to heaven first, and when you grow up, dad will go to heaven, and then your mother and I will be happily waiting for you in heaven, but then you must not come to us because you are lonely, only when you are full of gray hair, you can come to heaven to find us, okay?"
"Yes! I promise you, Daddy! ”
"Then let's pull the hook!"
"Mmmm, hanging on the hook for a hundred years is not allowed to change!"
That year, the little girl was 5 years old, and it was also the year when the wife of the chairman of Zhenlong Group died of illness.
...............
One day a few years later, after the little girl got out of a limousine marked with the logo of Zhenlong Group with her schoolbag on her back, the little girl immediately ran to a building in front of her, and this building was written in large vertical letters from top to bottom: Zhenlong Group.
After taking the elevator to the 12th floor, the little girl happily ran to the innermost room marked with the chairman's office sign.
The little girl slowly pushed them away, but... The man in the room who was sitting behind the desk was looking at a photo affectionately at the moment, and seemed to be whispering something in his mouth, if anyone paid attention at the moment, they would find that the corners of the man's eyes were a little moist...
"Ling, it's been 5 years since you left me, I've been thinking about you every day for the past 5 years, in order to help me support this company, you have been busy with the development of our company since you married me, and when you get home, you still take care of me and the children according to the old hard work, you are a good wife, I used to ignore you too much, and even lost my temper with you when I was in a bad mood, until... Until you were diagnosed with stomach cancer... Ling... I... I miss you so much..."
"Daddy!"
A crisp child's voice woke up the man, and the man behind the desk hurriedly put the photo in the drawer and stretched out his hand to quickly wipe the liquid from the corner of his eye, and then the man walked over from the desk, and then picked up the little girl with a smile and said, "Ha, who brought my baby back today?" What do you think? Wouldn't it be nice to see new teachers and classmates after the start of school!? ”
At the same time, the man also deliberately rubbed the face of the little girl in his arms with the stubble on his chin, which also made the little girl itch and laugh.
Then the little girl smiled innocently and said, "Well, today it was the driver Uncle Liu who picked me up, the classmates in the new class are very interesting, one of the boys actually had a string of snot all day, I lent him a tissue and let him wipe it, and he didn't want to wipe it, haha!" ”
"Haha, then you have to stay away from him in the future, everyone doesn't like children who don't pay attention to hygiene!"
"That's right, Dad."
"What's the matter?"
"I'm missing my mom a little."
Hearing his daughter say this, the man's expression was a little sad for a moment, but soon he smiled again and said to the little girl, "Baby, have you forgotten our agreement?" Only when you have gray hair will you be allowed to go to heaven to find your mother. ”
"Well, okay."
"By the way, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat spicy chicken!"
"Okay! I'll take you to the Shandong restaurant in Xihuan to let you eat authentic Shandong spicy chicken at one time! ”
This year, the little girl was 10 years old...
...............
After a few more years, in a very luxurious villa, the man was looking at some information on the sofa in the living room, but it was obvious that the man at this time was obviously much older than before, and his hair was already a little gray...
However, at this moment, a very beautiful girl pushed the door directly from the outside in a huff, and immediately took off the school uniform marked Dongfeng Business University on her upper body and threw it on the ground.
Then the girl puffed up and said to the man who was sitting on the sofa and was already a little old, "Dad! Look at the business university you helped me find, although it is a business university, but this university still requires school uniforms like middle school and high school, and this school uniform is ugly! I really don't want to wear it anymore. ”
After hearing the girl's complaint, the man first glanced at the girl with loving eyes, then slowly stood up and walked over to pick up the school uniform that the girl threw on the ground, and then he smiled at the girl and said, "Okay, good, if you don't wear it, you won't wear it, or I will invest a little money in the school, and then ask the school to cancel the school uniform, if the school does not agree, then ask the school to make a new batch of more fashionable school uniforms?" ”
"Humph! That's pretty much it! ”
After hearing her father's answer, the girl raised her head triumphantly and walked up the stairs with ease.
"Huh? What are you doing upstairs at this time? ”
"I just met a more interesting guy on QQ recently, and I'm going to chat with that guy now."
"But you haven't eaten yet."
"Dad, don't worry about it, when I'm hungry, I'll naturally come down to eat, you're so annoying!"
Then, the girl strode up, and the man stood there for a while with his daughter's school uniform, and finally sighed silently, but then the man shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Mother Zhang, remember to bring a copy upstairs to her after the meal is ready." ”
This year, the little girl... No... It should be a girl, 19 years old...
...............
Years have passed, and it is still in that villa, a gray-haired man is sitting on the sofa holding a photo, looking at it affectionately... At the same time, he is talking about something...
"Ling, our daughter has finally grown up, and she is more sensible than a few years ago, she knows that it hurts me, and she has to take me to the hospital for a check-up when she coughed twice yesterday, in fact, my disease is not a serious illness, how can I be so delicate, you know, our daughter has graduated from the University of Commerce, and has replaced me as the new director of the company half a year ago
