Chapter 186: Fallen Leaves Can't Return to Their Roots
"Her dad has been dead for ten years, and he hasn't dreamed of it once before, but in the past month, he has dreamed it frequently, and it's ....... when he dreams about it" Speaking of this, Qian Yang turned his face to look at Zhong Wen, "Zhong Wen, you said, tell the truth about your dream of your father." ”
Zhong Wen looked at Qian Yang suspiciously, and then at Qin Yan, hesitating whether to tell an outsider who had only met once about his family.
"Don't you think your dreams are a little strange? Don't worry, my brother is evil, maybe he can help you. ”
Evil? Qin Yan looked at Qian Yang, not knowing what he meant by using this word to describe himself, praising me?
"Brother, the biggest possibility of dreaming of the deceased is that he needs money, you let your sister-in-law have time to buy some good paper money for his father to burn for him."
"It's burned," Zhong Wen looked at Qin Yan and finally said two words.
"Not only did I burn the money, but I also invited the mage to come to my house to do a ritual, but it was all useless, and my father still came to my and my mother's dreams every night."
"Did he say anything in his dream?"
Zhong Wen shook her head, "He didn't say anything, just looked at me with a sad face, that kind of expression, as if he had been greatly wronged, made people feel very depressed when they looked at it, and it was even difficult to breathe." So every time I woke up, I had to gasp for breath for a long time, and my body was more tired than ever. ”
Qin Yan touched his chin and looked at Zhong Wen seriously, Zhong Wen after taking off her glasses is still very attractive, although she is not the kind of woman who is stunning at a glance, but her gentle temperament, faint smile, and unhappy and slow tone of speech reveal a kind of maturity and generosity everywhere, maybe it is because of her state of mind that she will stay in the Qian family generously under Aunt Li's ridicule and sarcasm, or it may be because of this temperament that Qian Yang will abandon Tongtong and choose her, right?
Thinking of Tongtong, I don't know if I haven't seen her for more than ten years, what is that girl like now?
"How? Did you see anything? ”
Qian Yang saw that Qin Yan didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes couldn't stop glancing at Zhong Wen, so he took it for granted that he was thinking of countermeasures.
Qin Yan looked at Zhong Wen and asked, "Did you have any wishes that disappeared before your father's death?" Or is it that you and your mom promised him something, but you haven't done it in the past ten years? Have it? Think about it? ”
Zhong Wen was stunned when she heard this, and when she stayed for about two minutes, she whispered, "Yes,"
Qian Yang and Qin Yan glanced at each other and asked, "What is it?" ”
"My mom and I promised my dad before he died that we would send his ashes back to our hometown for replacement, but ...... But now his ashes are still here. ”
Qian Yang was a little anxious when he heard this, "How can an ash be delayed for so long, when I deal with the work at hand, I will accompany you back to your hometown, so that your father can rest assured, and you and your mother can sleep soundly." ”
Zhong Wen looked up at Qian Yang, with indescribable pain and helplessness in her eyes.
Qin Yan stared into her eyes and asked, "Your father's ashes can't be sent back, can they?" ”
"Can't send it back? What do you mean? Qian Yang looked at Qin Yan in wonder, then turned his head to look at Zhong Wen and asked, "Wen, what's going on?" When people die, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and the ashes are sent back to their hometown, isn't it a matter of course? My dad is still alive and well, and he has already said hello to my uncles and uncles in the northeast, and asked them to set aside a piece of land for him, and when he dies, he will be buried in his hometown. It's all done. ”
Zhong Wen lowered her head and sighed softly, saying, "Qian Yang, our family is different from yours. ”
"Different? Tell me what's different. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mention it to you before, actually, my dad is Taiwanese." Zhong Wen looked up at Qian Yang apologetically.
"What's wrong with the Taiwanese, Taiwan is not a foreign land, it is also a part of our China, no different from our Northeast. So what humility are you! ”
Zhong Wen shook her head and continued: "Qian Yang, you don't understand, our family is different from yours. My dad is Taiwanese, when he came to the mainland to work 35 years ago, he was married in Taiwan, and then he couldn't bear the loneliness to find my mother, so my mother is actually not my father's legitimate wife in this life, at least not legally. ”
This answer was unexpected by Qian Yang, he blinked his eyes a few times, looked at Zhong Wen, and then turned his head to look at Qin Yan, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After about five minutes, Qian Yang spoke, "Is it because of this reason that you are unwilling to send your father's ashes back to Taiwan?" ”
Zhong Wen shook her head again, and then smiled bitterly with a sad face: "Where is it that I don't want to send him back, I can't send him back at all." When my father died, I called his wife and two sons in Taiwan, and they said that they had not gone back for more than 20 years, and now that they are dead, what can they go back, just a handful of ashes, and it is the same if they are scattered into the sea. ”
"So, when your dad died, his two sons didn't come?"
Zhong Wen shook her head again, "I didn't come." I think they all resented my dad a little bit, and even spoke to me in a very cold tone. In this case, how could I send his ashes back. ”
"Alas, your dad is really a failure! I owe your mother a name, not to mention, the resentment of the mother and son on the other side of the country, which has been burned to ashes and cannot return to the roots. What a tragedy! ”
Qian Yang couldn't help but sigh a lot, but when he was done, he patted Zhong Wen on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, with my brother here, he will definitely be able to solve it." ”
Qin Yan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "What do you mean I can solve it?" Brother, you can figure it out, this is someone's family matter, and it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, let alone me. ”
"You can't handle such a trivial matter?"
"I don't bother to pay attention to you," Qin Yan found it difficult to explain this matter to Qian Yang, so he planned to open the door and leave directly, but his hand was grabbed by Qian Yang as soon as it touched the doorknob.
"How can you leave before the matter is resolved,"
"I can't fix it,"
"I don't believe it."
Qin Yan looked at Qian Yang, and suddenly a sentence popped out of his mind, "If I give you a trick, you go to Tongtong and ask, she should be able to do this, and besides, she can also see that or something." ”
Hearing Tongtong's words, Qin Yan obviously saw that Qian Yang's pupils were dilated, he looked at Qin Yan in surprise and asked, "How do you know about Tongtong?" What did my mom tell you? ”
"If I say that Tongtong and I are old acquaintances, do you believe me?"
"Fart, how old were you when you left Suyang City, and you still know the old ones, who are you?" I know, Aunt Yuan must have told you, right? ”
Qin Yan pretended to smile mysteriously, and while pulling Qian Yang's hand away, he said, "If you don't believe that I know Tongtong, then I can't help it." But I've told you the way, it's up to you whether you use it or not. ”
When he walked out of Qian Yang's room, Qin Yan saw that his face had turned iron-blue.
In the living room, Li Yue and Yuan Yuan were still talking, and when Qin Yan came over, he felt that the two aunts had probably inquired about the eighteenth generation of the Wen family's ancestors.
"Xiao Yan, what did your brother tell you?" When Li Yue saw Qin Yan come out, he glanced at Qian Yang's door with displeasure.
"It's okay, Auntie, my brother will talk to me casually."
"You two talk about what she's doing next to you."
Qin Yan scratched his head and laughed twice, and then quietly glanced at Yuan Yuan.
"Sister-in-law, everyone is still at your house, can't you bear to speak politely?"
Li Yue sighed helplessly, "Alas, Yangyang has been very obedient since she was a child, and since she was with her, there has not been a day when she has not been with me." You said that Tongtong is young, beautiful, and sensible, why did he have to break up with others when he was blind? I'm embarrassed to see Lin Lin now. ”
"No, Lin Lin is a barrister after all, and she won't blame you for the children's affairs."
"That's why I'm even more embarrassed."
Qin Yan looked at Li Yue and asked, "Auntie, where is my Uncle Qian?" ”
"Oh, he's out for a cigarette. Xiao Yan, go and persuade him, your uncle had quit smoking more than ten years ago, but because your whole family disappeared overnight, he not only started smoking again in those days, but even his hair turned a lot grayer. ”
Qin Yan found Qian Tao at the entrance of the building, Qian Tao smoked one after another in the smoke, facing this loyal man who was less than sixty years old, Qin Yan sincerely apologized to him from the bottom of his heart, and this was also the first person in his life who felt sorry for the departure of their whole family, and it was estimated that he was the only one.
"Will you smoke it?" Qian Tao raised the cigarette case in his hand at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan originally wanted to say no, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he nodded and took out a cigarette from Qian Tao's cigarette case, and then took Qian Tao's lighter, and with the sound of "pop", he actually lit it in a chic manner.
"In the past, when I was handling cases, I encountered difficult cases and puzzles, and your father and I would often smoke together, but then I smoked too much, and my lungs had some problems, and the doctor told me to quit smoking. But how could you quit in that environment, and then your aunt showed the list to your father. Your dad confiscated all the cigarettes of all my colleagues in the unit without telling me, and then said that everyone should quit smoking together, and just like that, I successfully quit smoking that year. ”
Qian Tao spit out an eye circle, watched it gradually grow and fade in front of his eyes, and finally disappeared into the air, and then took a hard sip.
"Before you appeared, I never believed that your father was gone, he was seven years younger than me, how could he walk ahead of me? And your mother, what a match, how can you say that they disappear when they disappear. ”
Qian Tao looked at Qin Yan with red eyes and said, "Xiao Yan, tell your uncle honestly, how much do you know about your family's affairs?" If you don't remember anything, then give me your grandfather's phone, I can't figure it out, I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life........."
