Chapter Ninety-Five: What I Wanted
With the photo in hand, I returned to my grandmother's coffin, and my mind couldn't help but think about it.
Grandma actually didn't tell me much about my mother, and when she did, she couldn't say anything specific, just a very simple description, but she would mention the same sentence from time to time, "Your mother is a good girl, but she has suffered a lot with your father, and it is difficult for her." ”
I also learned from the middle-aged uncle that my mother is a strong and brave person, she is definitely not a person with bad character as the adults say, and my father will definitely not be a bad person.
No matter how others spread it, everyone can say bad things about my parents, and I have complained about them for so many years, but I have always held hope, it was my grandmother who made me believe and encouraged me, telling me that my parents are good people, great people.
And now that my grandmother is gone, I am alone, facing so many difficult relatives, how could I never have thought about it, if my parents were still there, I would not have to bear so much, since the day my grandmother died, I was left alone.
If the middle-aged uncle is really a relative of my mother, then I also know, I still have relatives, but so what, for more than 20 years, they haven't thought of contacting us at all, and now they suddenly appear at this time, what's the point, even if they have lived together for so many years, they are still like outsiders to me, can I find the feeling of family in a different place?
I'm not an optimistic person, I like to plan for the worst, but I don't look for my family, I look for the truth.
Speaking of which, I can't remember how my parents died, I only know that the body was cremated, not like this native village, all the dead people will invite Taoist priests to make a scene, and then put the coffin in the grave in a beautiful way, I haven't even seen the body, no, I haven't even seen the urn, I was only told that my parents died.
At first, I would still look for them, crying and shouting to find them, and again and again, they never came back, and I gradually accepted this reality, until now.
But the moment I saw this photo, the grievances of so many years suddenly came to my heart, and I just felt extremely bored.
"Bai Sheng, who are those?" As soon as I arrived in the front yard, my siblings popped up one after another, and they seemed very curious.
"Nothing." I threw the paper money in my hand in the brazier.
"I heard from my second uncle, it's a gangster who came to find trouble, are you fighting outside and causing trouble?" This is the daughter of the sixth aunt, and the surname is Wang, because her father is also surnamed Wang.
"Sister Lin, don't talk nonsense with him, his business has nothing to do with us." The fifth aunt's daughter did not forget to help her sister speak, and this little sister seemed to be sharp-tongued.
I'm not in the mood to tell these little dolls any stories right now.
"Hmph, what if you ignore us, there must be a ghost in your heart who doesn't dare to say it." Wang Lin crossed her waist and looked arrogant.
"Come on, let's go, if he doesn't say it, forget it." The son of the third uncle, but his personality is very different from the third uncle, he is very fat, his eyes are very small, and he looks honest and honest, or in other words, my brother named Wang Guojing is more timid and afraid of things than me, but he is also the most kind-hearted one among several brothers and sisters.
"Third brother, what are you talking about?" The second brother is called Wang Lei, he went to the field after graduating from junior high school, and now he has a wife, but this time his wife did not come back, because he was going to give birth to a child, and he was still living in the hospital.
"Bai Sheng, you explain honestly, have you dealt with this matter, we are just here to ask you, lest you leave later, these people still come to our house to look for you, not only us, my dad and they definitely don't want to see such a situation, because we are peers, so we are called to ask you, lest someone gossip and say that my dad and they bullied you as an orphan."
Well, in fact, the latter sentence is the point of the whole sentence, isn't it.
"They just came to me alone, they have nothing to do with you, and when I leave, they won't come again." I found a chair and sat down.
"What are you looking for, they won't really make trouble, and it's not easy to mess with them." Wang Lin chattered again.
"Nothing." I didn't look at them, but instead stared at the fire in the basin.
In this mountain, the rain is still a little cold, I came back this time without anything, the clothes were also very dirty, my room also let Wu Qian they sleep, last night I was wrapped in this dirty clothes, on the side of the brazier to take a nap, the third uncle he was happy to throw this errand to me, they simply rubbed mahjong in the hall, rubbed until midnight, one by one pretended to be less paper, one left, the other also left, in the end I was alone until dawn.
"Hey, I saw that they gave you something, and then left, it can't be a certificate, you have to show us." Wang Lin really can't open any pot and mention which pot, and I want to see what the uncle gave me after a long time.
"Why should I show you?" I raised my head and looked at them, this is not afraid at all, I have my bottom line, if these people keep biting like this, I will definitely persevere.
"So arrogant, I didn't know you were such a person before, I've been out for a few years, and I don't know who I am, right?" Wang Lei seems to have a good temper, but he is a bastard.
Boom!
At this moment, the fifth brother struck the gong with a bang.
The fourth brother, they also began to sing, sing, knock, knock.
The elders also came over from the backyard one after another, "What are you arguing about here, go to the backyard to do chores." ”
Wang Lin and the others dispersed in a hurry, and they might have some bad ideas.
“······ Abrupt and grandiose, and buried in the ground, it means that it does not turn into rotten soil, but for the essence of gold and jade, otherwise, the growth of pine thousands of feet, the production of Ganoderma lucidum and nine fen, but the barren smoke and wild vines ······"
The fifth brother sang words in his mournful tone again, and he didn't know what they were.
Wu Qian was still writing something, and there was a table near my grandmother's room, and there was a place where a group of people in the far north drank tea and wrote things.
"Sixth, you were suddenly pulled away just now, I was worried about whether something would happen, so I squeezed in for a long time, but I found that you came over intact, so I was relieved." The third brother finished beating the drum, and then walked over to me and sat down.
"Third brother, I'm fine, don't worry about me, just now, thank you for helping me out." I saluted the third brother and touched the photo on my body, which is the most precious thing on me.
"Bai Sheng, come here." Wu Qian suddenly glanced at me, his voice was very penetrating, even in this noisy environment, I could still hear his voice clearly.
I got off the stool, walked over to Wu Qian, and sat down at his table.
"Something?" When I sat there for more than a minute, Wu Zhen still didn't say a word, just wrote on that piece of white paper I don't know what words, the font is very small, very beautiful, at first glance it really doesn't look like a man's words.
"You're supposed to go." Wu Qian put down his pen and looked at me.
"You should know who I am, I said I was going to send my grandmother on the last ride, and I wouldn't leave." I say it bluntly.
Wu Qian looked at me, "If you stay, you will die?" ”
"We'll talk about it then." I'm perfunctory.
"Hehe," Wu Zhen continued to pick up the brush, dipped it in the ink disc, and buried himself in writing, but the pen paused, "I think you didn't think that you would die at all, right, or do you think it doesn't matter if you die?" ”
I didn't go to look at Wu Qian, I stood up, walked to my grandmother's spirit, picked up a stack of papers, and put it in a basin.
"All I know is that my grandmother wants me to be well."
