Chapter 18: The Day of the Funeral
In the Ningcheng funeral home, Shangguan Qing stood silently, she was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt, and a black cloth cover was covered with a white cloth sleeve on her thin white arm, with a white strip of cloth on it.
Following Qu Feng into the auditorium, Shangguan Chen lay quietly in the coffin, he was peaceful as if he had just fallen asleep, the black-framed glasses were still on the bridge of his nose in a regular manner, and his lips were tightly closed. Everything seemed to be alive, except for the bronzed skin that had faded to gray, making him look unreal.
When Qu Feng walked to the side of the coffin, she lay on it and cried bitterly, and the people next to her helped pull her away. Her cry reminded Shangguan Qing that her father had really gone to that unreachable place. There was a lot of mist sprouting in her eyes, and she endured it, blinking vigorously, and forced the tears back. Be strong! Don't cry! She said to herself.
Shangguan Qing and her younger brother Shangguan Bin helped Qu Feng out, and she took a soft breath. The auditorium was full of mourners, black and pressed, lined up for funerals, and the deceased were also cremated.
A small number of relatives and friends came out, and there was a tragic mourning song in the auditorium, which made people's hearts extremely heavy, and sad emotions are contagious!
Someone was comforting Qu Feng, and a very few uncles patted their younger brother's emaciated shoulder, while the younger brother just looked at them stupidly. Then he squeezed an ugly smile at them and nodded.
Wang Nan and Ni Fei'er walked out, Ni Fei'er hugged Guan Qing's shoulders and whispered: "Qing-don't be too sad, although, your father is gone!" But you still have your mother, and your brother needs you to take care of it! Be sure to cheer up! Well! β
"If there's anything you want to help with, just say it!" Wang Nan said sadly.
Shangguan Qing's tears that had been suppressed suddenly poured out. I thought my tears had dried up a long time ago! Wiping away tears with the back of his hand, he sniffed and raised his head and said firmly: "Don't worry! I won't be knocked down so easily! I'll take care of them. A forced smile was revealed, and in a blink of an eye, his expressionless face returned.
Yue Shan came out of nowhere and asked, "Xiaoqing! Are you going to buy a crystal coffin for your dad? β
"We'll go with you!" Ni Fei'er said.
Wang Nan supported Shangguan Qing's mother Qu Feng, and Shangguan Bin followed behind. Yue Shan had already jumped to the counter.
Ni Fei'er held Shangguan Qing's hand, her hand was as cold as water, Ni Fei'er couldn't help but clench it tighter, wanting to help her warm up.
This hall in front is an openbox's paradise! There are all kinds of materials, sizes, and the appearance is ingenious and beautiful.
"The urn seller said, people don't use it when they are alive, and they have to give it a good one when they leave, otherwise how can they go with peace of mind! So don't worry about the people who are gone, and don't bargain! Look at how much business you know! Yue Shan pouted.
I picked a 100 yuan urn with a diameter of 30 cm, and the material was OK. I also paid for it and carried it to the place where the ashes were burned.
It was a remote side of a room, and many people were already waiting there. Shangguan Qing took the good-looking crystal urn handed out by the staff with both hands, is this the last place her father will go? There was a trace of sadness in my heart inexplicably.
Shangguan Qing, who was extremely hurt, had no feeling in her heart. The person who presided over the funeral walked in front with his younger brother who was holding the urn and went to the cemetery for burial.
Shangguan Qing, who was walking at the end of the line because of paying the money, was pulled by someone. When she turned around, she saw Uncle Jiang Lie snorting at her and motioned for her to wait for him. She slowed down and took a few steps away from the others.
Uncle Jiang walked side by side with her, and said at a very fast speed: "Child, listen to me, I can only tell you about this matter, your father died in a car accident, isn't the car scrapped!" The owner of the car is looking for your dad to compensate 80,000 yuan for the car! I might take you to court in a few days, so you might as well plan ahead! β
"What? People are dead! They also fell into the ground! Isn't human life worth as much as his car? Shangguan Qing angrily grabbed a handful of leaves from the low tree on the side of the road with her hands, crushed them, threw them away, and stepped on them with her feet!
"Don't worry, I have a solution! Listen to it, it won't work! Uncle Jiang looked at Shangguan Qing's face before saying.
Shangguan Qing was ruthless, calmed down and said, "Uncle Jiang, say it!" I don't want my mom to be scared anymore! She couldn't bear it. β
"Good boy! You can now take your home to the mortgage and pay them back. And then slowly pay it back every month! There is room for this. Think about it! This is my mobile phone, and I can also help the bank find someone in this regard, and the interest rate is lower! Uncle Jiang smiled wryly after speaking, handed over a note and stuffed it into Shangguanqing's hand.
"Impossible! My mom would never agree, this was the only property my dad left behind! Nope! Shangguan Qing didn't expect this idea to be the idea, so she refused. After thinking about it again, he wondered: "Is it the person who was in the hospital last time, I'm going to beg him?"
Uncle Jiang's eyes flashed with a gleam and said, "It's useless to beg him, it's a manager under him!" But they're all in the same boat, do you think he'll help you? β
Shangguan Qingxin said the same, he begged him so much that day, he didn't let go, what a ruthless person he should be!
Chen Guobiao took Jiang Lie's handle, and he had to get Shangguanchen's house in his hands, somehow? He couldn't bear it in his heart, but there was no other way, the dead Dao friend didn't die the poor Dao!
He saw that Shangguan Qing was silent and added: "Girl!" You think about it! Jiang Lie paused for a while and said, "It's better not to tell your mother!" She can't hold it up! β
"Xiaoqing! Where are you? Just waiting for you to get in the car! Yue Shan shouted.
"Oh! Here, I'm here-" Shangguan Qing responded.
Jiang Lie turned around sharply and went down from the other side.
"What did your uncle tell you!" Yue Shan asked casually.
"Huh? Nothing, just a consolation! Shangguan Qing walked down the high stairs, and Yue Shan shouted after her, "Heyβwait for me!" β
Shangguan Qing looked at the scorching noon weather, and only heard Yue Shan cursing God.
She stood in front of her father's tombstone and didn't want to move. The person in the photo is smiling happily, and seems to be frowning again: "What about the children!" In the past, no matter what happened, my father took care of it, and my father solved it, but now I can't come back! There is no one to shelter from the wind and rain in this home, and you have to rely on yourself for everything! Be strong, my sons and daughters! Take care of Mommy!
"Yes-I will. Dad, don't worry! Shangguan Qing replied to herself.
It's too hot, and everyone who should have gone has already left. The people who were shining in the sun were sweating, Shangguan Qing didn't feel hot, nor did he feel tired, just standing, standing! Such as the old monk into the set.
For a long time, Shangguan Bin thought that his sister was going to stand like this, Shangguan Bin helped his mother to a cool place, and Wang Nan accompanied her without leaving.
Shangguan Bin endured it for a long time before he walked behind his sister and said in a low voice: "Sister! Let's go back! Mom can't stand the heat! β
"Well, let's go back!" With a numb heart, Shangguan Qing thought wildly about Uncle Jiang's words.
In the next few days, some people came to the house one after another, comforting, troublemaker, and intimidating. Until my mother fainted again and again. Those talents dispersed, and when they left, they left cruel words: See you in court!
