Chapter 82: The Funeral
This sound was not only in the air, but also in my heart, and when I heard it, my heart thumped, and my heart felt as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand.
I stopped, and suddenly a strong sense of foreboding welled up in my heart, and I stiffened my neck to the back, and when my gaze found focus, my heart felt as if it had been crushed, and a painful feeling irritated my tear ducts.
The stand that had been standing with a drip hanging was now falling to the ground, and the glass chips were shattered all over the ground, presumably the sound just now was the sound of the glass bottle shattering.
The mother, who was half lying on the bed, was half on the bed at this time, and the other half was hanging on the edge of the bed, and one of her hands was on the cabinet, as if she was trying to grab something, but now there is no way to know, because ......
The mother is gone, unconsciously.
"Mom, don't scare me, this joke isn't funny at all." I forced a smile on my face, trembled and slowly walked towards my mother, I walked up to her, straightened her, and returned to her half-lying appearance, and I patted her face.
"Mom, don't pretend, pretend again, then you're going to be angry."
I didn't cry, as if my mother was really joking with me, and at this moment a terrible wail sounded, and a group of doctors and nurses hurried to the ward, and when they saw the scene before them, none of them came forward, and stood at the door, looking in my direction, and remained silent.
As if I couldn't hear the cry of death from the electronic device, I still shook my mother's body stubbornly, laughing and crying out.
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to eat apples? You wake up first, you wake up first, and then I can buy it for you! ”
But no matter what method I used or how I called, my mother would not speak to me, and in the end I simply stopped talking, snuggled my head into my mother's arms, and closed my eyes as she did.
"Since Mom, you don't wake up, then I'll sleep with you too."
My self-talk was very abnormal, and I even snuggled up to my mother, who had lost her breath of life, and this series of actions revealed strangeness, but no one threw strange glances at me, on the contrary, their eyes were mixed with understanding.
Everyone stood still, no one spoke, and no one came up to disturb me, so I kept my eyes closed and snuggled up to my mother's arms.
Until the mother's body temperature disappeared by a minute, leaving only a cold shell.
"Mom, are you too cold?" I opened my eyes again and grabbed the quilt from the hospital bed to cover my mother.
"No, don't make a fuss."
At this moment, a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand.
I turned my head to see that Tang Tianqi didn't know when he came, and then stood quietly beside me guarding our mother and daughter.
"You let go! Mom, she's cold right now! I kept struggling, trying to pull out the palm that Tang Tianqi was holding in my hand, but Tang Tianqi grabbed it very tightly, no matter how I struggled, he just wouldn't let go.
"You're letting go!" After struggling for a while, I still couldn't pull my hand out, and finally in annoyance, my other hand grabbed Tang Tianqi's wrist, lowered my head, and bit directly at Tang Tianqi's wrist.
I didn't show mercy in this bite, I used my best strength, but Tang Tianqi didn't snort, as if my teeth were biting on his hand without pain or itching.
Tang Tianqi let one hand be bitten by me, and the other hand passed under my armpit, directly lifting my whole person and dragging me back, and then he immediately said to the doctors and nurses who had been standing at the door.
"Hurry up!"
Hearing Tang Tianqi's words, a group of them immediately walked towards their mother, laid her flat on the bed and picked up a white sheet to cover it, then untied the lock on the wheel under the hospital bed, ready to push her mother out.
"What are you doing! What are you going to do! My mom is sleeping, don't disturb her! "When I saw that they were about to push my mother away, I struggled like crazy and wanted to pounce, but Tang Tianqi didn't allow it, his hands became more and more vigorous, locked me tightly, and whispered in my ear.
"No, don't make trouble! Mom is gone! ”
But I turned a deaf ear to Tang Tianqi's words, as if I couldn't hear them, I was still struggling desperately, one hand stretched straight in the direction of my mother, and I kept doing the grabbing movements, as if I wanted to grab something, but I couldn't catch it.
Until the hospital bed carrying my mother turned a corner and disappeared in front of my eyes, the strength in my body seemed to be drained in an instant, and my head leaned weakly against Tang Tianqi's chest behind me.
I couldn't see my face, so I didn't know what I was like right now, I just felt my face stiffen a little and my chest was empty, as if something was missing.
I wanted to cry, but I don't know why, but I couldn't cry, and my sadness was suppressed in my heart and could not be released, as if there was a huge stone blocking my heart, and even my breathing was uncomfortable.
Seeing me like this, Tang Tianqi sighed softly, retracted my arm and couldn't help but loosen Song, from restraint to embrace, one of his hands touched my cheek, rubbing gently.
"Mom is gone, cry if you want to, suppress your emotions, it's not a good thing."
I don't know why, when Tang Tianqi said this, a sentence that my mother said not long ago suddenly surged in my mind.
"Silly boy, people will always die, if your mother is really gone, you are not allowed to be like this, you know?"
At that time, I didn't feel the deep sadness in my mother's words, but when I felt it now, it was too late.
And like a chain reaction, I instantly understood the meaning of my mother's words about why she didn't give birth to me earlier, because if she had given birth to me earlier, then she would have ...... I can hold my grandson and end up without regrets!
Thinking of this, the negative emotions that had been suppressed in my body all this time seemed to have found an outlet, and finally I couldn't contain it, like a volcano that had been brewing for a long time, and it completely exploded.
I screamed in the direction of the corridor where my mother had disappeared.
"Mom!!"
......
Three days later, we prepared a funeral for my mother, and as a child, of course, I had the responsibility of wearing linen and filial piety.
But before I died, my mother once told me that if she was gone in the future, she would not want a big funeral, she just needed my daughter to find a cleaner place for her to be buried, and burn a few pieces of paper money for her in front of her grave.
We did not go against the wishes of our mother before her death, Tang Tianqi bought a piece of land on a mountain with money, and we buried my mother's body there, and in the whole process, except for me and Tang Tianqi, there were only people who came to help carry the coffin.
When the coffin was buried in the soil and the master of ceremonies shouted kowtow in thanks, I knelt down in front of my mother's grave and kowtowed three times.
Seeing that my mother's coffin was gradually buried inch by inch of soil, my heart was also buried, just when my heart was about to be closed, suddenly, Tang Tianqi walked to my side and hugged me, at this time, the door of the soul that was about to be closed, there was still a trace of gap.
I know that this is a gap that is only open for Tang Tianqi alone.
Tang Tianqi, who hugged me, seemed to want to comfort me with something, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was superfluous to comfort me at this time, so Tang Tianqi just hugged me and used his thick shoulders to give me spiritual support.
After being silent for a long time, Tang Tianqi suddenly spoke.
"Mom is gone, although she didn't explain anything to me before she died, but I know that in the future, you will be taken care of by me!"
Hearing Tang Tianqi's words, a warm current flowed from the tip of my heart to my whole body, making my heart, which was a little fragile because of the death of my mother, feel a little comforted.
As if to confirm Tang Tianqi's words, I leaned my head on Tang Tianqi's shoulder and entrusted the weight of my whole body to him, and Tang Tianqi didn't move, he was like a tree that had not moved for ten thousand years, standing beside me, silently guarding me.
I looked at the tombstone in front of me with a vague vision, as if I could still see my mother's kind smiling face.
"May there be no sickness or calamity in heaven." Tang Tianqi prayed sincerely.
I turned my head and looked at Tang Tianqi's side face stupidly, at this moment my heart was full of tenderness, and I couldn't help myself in the depths, I raised a hand and touched Tang Tianqi's cheek, and said softly.
"Tianqi, thank you."
......
My mother is gone, and in the unknown situation, I have one less relative in this world, but fortunately, with Tang Tianqi by my side, this makes me feel less lonely, but for the self-blame and longing for my mother's death, this Tang Tianqi can't do anything, all he can do is wait, wait for time to erase the wound on my soul.
Originally, Tang Tianqi was often absent from work because I was pregnant, and recently helped my mother prepare for the funeral, which had made Tang Tianqi pile up a lot of work that was not completed, so after the funeral, Tang Tianqi accompanied me for two days, and after seeing that my mood was relatively stable, he hurried to the company to deal with business.
And I originally wanted to help, after all, it was all caused by me, but Tang Tianqi refused me, he said that I had to rest for a few days, and then go to work when I had enough rest, so in the few days that Tang Tianqi went to the company, I always stayed at home alone.
