Chapter 298: Storytelling
These expensive medicines are also somewhat effective, and within a few minutes of eating, the cough has gradually weakened, until there is no other sound to be considered good.
She picked up the pillow and put it behind the old man, and then walked out, not forgetting to close the door as she went.
Lu Tingshen took a few steps closer and cared for a few words, and then slowly cut to the point, "Your body seems to be getting worse and worse, I can contact a good team of doctors." Ji Yan came yesterday, maybe he was too worried about your physical condition and didn't go home all night. Do you know where she went? ”
Even for his elders, he rarely uses honorific titles, but he can call Ji Yan's grandmother like this without hesitation, but unfortunately Ji Yan doesn't know these things.
The old lady sighed helplessly, looking at him with satisfaction with this grandson-in-law, "My old life is no longer important, and it is not necessary to spend so much manpower and material energy on me." Our conversation yesterday didn't go very well, and she said she would stay with me, but she left. I think...... She may have gone to Nanshan Cemetery. ”
Nanshan Cemetery, as the name suggests, is a cemetery area in the area, and Ji Yan's mother was sent there after her death.
The old man's tone was filled with a bit of nostalgia and self-blame for the past, "She's too stubborn as a child, no matter what happens, she will support herself alone, and she will only go there when she really can't hold on or has a lot of worries and nowhere to say." ”
So if the person is gone, then it must have gone there, and there will be no second place.
Lu Tingshen nodded, "Thank you." ”
The old lady just smiled, "No, I just hope that after I die, you can protect her well, and try not to let her be harmed." Although my next words will make you feel uncomfortable, I still want to start with the ugly words. A sharp light shone in her eyes, as if all lies were nowhere to be hidden in front of her.
"If one day you fall in love with another woman and decide to separate from Yan'er, at least in my face, let her go safely. If she wants to leave or where to go, you can't stop her. This is what I am most concerned about as an elder about my children's marriage, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to do, right? ”
Many parents are worried about their children's future marriage, some people think that marriage must be the right person, and others can be indifferent, and some people are the opposite.
What makes the old lady most satisfied is Lu Tingshen's family background, but what makes her most dissatisfied is Lu Tingshen's identity and family background.
His identity is destined for him to accept a lot of temptations, who can guarantee 100% that Lu Tingshen can resist all temptations and only love Ji Yan alone?
Lu Tingshen's face changed slightly, he didn't know what he thought, the light in his eyes dimmed, "I won't let her leave my side." ”
The old lady nodded calmly when she heard this, not at all surprised that he would say this, "You have indeed achieved a lot of career success now, but have you distinguished the difference between love and marriage?" Maybe not, but when it happens, maybe you'll be the one who wants her to go the most. ”
She talked too much, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times, seeing all Lu Tingshen's dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she still insisted on going down.
"As an elder who loves her, I won't say a lot of things for fear of offending, all I want is a guarantee. Even if it were a little mercy for me, a dying man, what about your answer? ”
I don't know what they said later, Lu Tingshen left with a cold face later.
The nurse who brought the Chinese medicine over casually asked, "Why do I think this gentleman was a little angry when he left?" You should drink the medicine first, if you don't drink it again, it will be cold, and the effect of the medicine should be greatly reduced! ”
The old lady was helped up and drank the Chinese medicine little by little, and then answered her question in a low voice, "You read it wrong, we had a very pleasant conversation." ”
……
In the Nanshan Cemetery area, a woman wearing a long windbreaker stood in the snow with an umbrella, the tombstone in front of the woman had been covered by the continuous snow, only her short head was exposed, and a bunch of small daisies in front of the tombstone had been covered by the snow to only show a faint touch of yellow.
The caretaker of the cemetery was patrolling here with an electric baton, and when he saw her standing there again, he reluctantly asked her to leave, "You stayed here all night yesterday, isn't it good to have this time to go back and rest?" ”
I have never seen any family of children do their filial piety like this, if this is known to the relatives below, wouldn't it be distressed to death?
"It's okay, I just want to stay here for a while and leave soon."
Seeing that this person couldn't say anything, he didn't bother to take care of other people's family affairs, and walked around to the side.
After the caretaker of the cemetery left, the woman put her umbrella on the tombstone and held it, as if she wanted to shelter someone from the wind and rain, which was very cute.
She sat on the snow and said in a fluttering tone, "I once read a book of essays that everyone is born with the meaning of his birth. What about me? The last person in this world who loved me has also disappeared, and the road ahead is still far away, but I feel that I have come to an end. ”
The person sitting here is Ji Yan, and after leaving the apartment, she went to many places, wanting to go to Ji's house to see, and wanting to go back to Lu's house, but these two are not her home.
In the end, she came to this familiar place without expecting it.
"I've been looking into my background, but I found out about you." She took off her gloves and put them in her pocket, and with her warm hands dug up the little daisies buried in the snow, she said, "I was told that you might still be alive anywhere in the world. Does this mean that I still have other relatives in the world to rely on, or that you have long since thrown me away as a burden? ”
Along with the whispers and movements in her hands, the snow crumbs ran into her fingernails, freezing little by little as she dug up the snow, and the snowflakes turned into water when they touched the heat on her skin, but immediately new snow crumbs fell on her hands, and the cycle continued.
The person buried under the tombstone has been dead for more than ten years, and it is impossible to answer any questions from Ji Yan, and as for her mother, who may be alive in the world, it is even more impossible to answer this question.
The action of digging up the snow was already a little numb at the back, and the hands were purple from the cold, which made people feel frightened to look at, and at this time, the little daisy buried by the snow was finally dug out.
Ji Yan exhaled a breath of turbidity, and just picked up the flower, but his hand was unable to lift it because it was frozen, so that the flower fell back again.
She looked down, a blank look in her eyes.
Does this mean that no matter how hard she tries, it will only be useless in the end?
At the moment of confusion, a shadow hit her head, and someone held a large umbrella and moved the umbrella to Ji Yan's head, and the free hand grabbed it violently when he saw her hand that was red and purple from the cold.
The angry words echoed in her ears, and suddenly she returned to the world.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
After knowing that Ji Yan might be in Nanshan Cemetery, Lu Tingshen rushed over non-stop, who knew that he would see such a situation, and his heart was full of anger.
Ji Yan pulled her hand back, her face was light, calm as if she didn't do these things, "I'm just here to worship my mother, what else can I do?" ”
Knowing that Ji Yan was in a bad mood now, Lu Ting suppressed the anger in his heart, and his tone was as soft as possible, "You haven't returned overnight, I'll come to you." ”
But even if his tone became gentle, because the blunt change made it strange to hear this, and the momentum on his body was unrestrained, like a creditor who came to settle accounts.
Ji Yan bent down to pick up the flowers, gently patted off the snowflakes on it, and then solemnly put them in front of the tombstone, "I'm an adult, I can pay for what I do, and I don't need anyone to look for me." ”
After saying that, she moved to the side, and the two suddenly distanced themselves.
Because the distance was removed, the shadow of the umbrella dispersed, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on her black windbreaker again, the snow white looked very dazzling, and Lu Tingshen's eyes were tingling.
He walked over again, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Ji Yan reaching out.
"In front of my mom, I don't want to quarrel with you. If you want to teach me how to be a good Mrs. Lu, then go back and talk about it. Her eyes were a little hollow, as if she was looking at the tombstone, but her eyes seemed to be looking at another person through this.
Lu Tingshen frowned slightly, suppressing those dissatisfied emotions, "Do you often come to see her?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yan immediately paused, and there was obvious surprise in her eyes when she looked over. She didn't expect that what Lu Ting wanted to say was this, and her eyes softened a little.
"Do you want to hear stories? Let me tell you a story from a long, long time ago, when a woman who was terminally ill and did not have much time to send her child to a palatial place, and begged the people there to take her child. ”
As if he felt a little tired standing or for other reasons, Ji Yan suddenly knelt in front of the tombstone, his tone was still so calm, and he was depicting the so-called story as an outsider.
The people there quickly agreed and offered to help the woman find a doctor to treat her. But she was so sick that she died at home three days after she dropped the child there. At that time, it was summer, and the apartment they helped find was in a good location, and it didn't even take three days after the person died to emit a not very strong smell, and when the people found it, the corpse was already decomposed, and it was sent to be cremated. ”
"Because she died so suddenly, the last thing she said to her child was 'You have to be good in the future, don't lose your temper' because of this sentence she gradually integrated into that family, even though the people there don't regard her as family."
There are two characters in the story, one is Ji Yan and the other is Ji Yan's mother.
Lu Tingshen looked at her and said these things in a steady tone, but he panicked for no reason, especially when he saw her little face that was gradually pale.
