Chapter 222: A Fragile Heart
I didn't mean anything else when I called you, just to remind you that just now the Dagudui community police called me and said that you haven't reported for a month and have lost control.
You used to be under my control, and after I was transferred, now Officer Ma is in charge.
You go to the police station tomorrow to report to Officer Ma. After Xing Rui finished speaking, he did not forget to say sarcastically:
"Han Bing, I really didn't expect that you, such a hard man, would also be afraid of the one in your family, I really can't afford you.
At that moment I really couldn't put into words my feelings, all the anger was intertwined, I gritted my teeth and stared at the scenery flashing outside the window and said:
"Okay, I know, I'll report to the police station. I didn't wait for Xing Rui to speak, so I hung up the phone.
I hung up the phone and looked at Chen Nina, and I obviously saw that Chen Nina's eyes were no longer tears of sadness, but still braving the fire of grievance and anger.
Because I was very close to Chen Nina, I thought she must have heard that the call was made by Xing Rui.
Chen Nina stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly shook off my hand and shouted in her heart:
"Brother, what do you mean! What does that mean exactly?
Are you getting along with Xing Rui again, you sue me!
Are you getting better again?
I hugged Chen Nina and said:
"Nizi, it's not what you think, Xing Rui and I have made it very clear, we can't have anything more! Just general friends.
Chen Nina looked at me with a mean expression and said fiercely:
'Brother, don't say it. When my mother finishes the funeral, I will quit and return you to her, I don't deserve you. You can live better. In fact. ,,,,,。
At that moment I was simply crazy, and hurriedly interrupted her, reached out and pulled her to say:
"Nizi, am I a commodity? You give it back to her, Nizi I know you're feeling bad right now. I don't want to quarrel with you at this time, say something that hurts each other, and I don't want to stimulate you at this time, I hope you can understand me, I'm not what you think.
Chen Nina pushed me away and said:
"I know, you are pitying me, you are not with me at all because you love me, you have been pitying me.
Actually, in your heart. You can't look down on a blind person at all, do you?
You just can't bear to hurt me, right?
At that moment I completely exploded all the suppressed feelings, and I pressed Niko's hand on my chest and roared:
"Nizi, you tmd touch me. This beating heart.
I am wholeheartedly devoted to you, it can be seen from God, I, Han Bing, have never loved anyone in my life, you are the first.
You don't even have the least trust in me, you always like to think nonsense.
Who am I, Han Bing, don't you know in your heart? You're so sensitive, and you've always locked yourself in a dark room of your own making. From the time I saw you after I was released from prison, I felt like your heart was made of glass. is fragile and sensitive.
You're afraid of losing me, I know that.
I've gone out of my way to explain and prove it. But you don't believe me, and the words are as light as water twice.
I have you in my heart, since you gave me the first time, I knew that you belonged to me, and that time was also my first time, I don't want to give you any promises, because I will prove to you with practical actions, I will go hand in hand with you.
When I said this, I felt that I was already strict with my feelings.
I didn't care at all, there was Wang Feixiang in the car.
Chen Nina pounced and put her arms around my neck, her hoarse voice had already made any sound, her body shook violently, and her chest trembled desperately like a huge turbine.
A tear slid down my eyes and landed on my clothes and was swallowed instantly.
After the car was fast along the way to Honghua Road, Chen Nina and I got out of the car and went to the rental house to get photos.
Then back to the car, Chen Nina held a photo album, her eyes were firmly attached to the album, looking at them one by one, carefully and seriously.
She was like that, my heart was sour when I saw it, and I couldn't bear to disturb her.
The car arrived at Lao Wang's photo studio on Ankang Road, where she was still selecting photos.
Wang Feixiang parked the car at the door, and I looked through the reflective mirror in the car, but saw tears rolling in Wang Feixiang's eyes.
Wang Feixiang wiped a handful of tears and said:
"Nizi, have you chosen! If we have chosen, we will rinse one.
Chen Nina came to the meeting many times, and finally selected one, and after some were ready, we went back to the funeral home.
The bleak evening breeze swept the barren and remote funeral parlor, the dark yellow old street lamps stood alone, a herd of wild dogs grabbed garbage around the garbage heap, and the mourning shed made of green canvas was extraordinarily small under the dark rendering.
A small dim yellow light bulb at the door of the mourning shed, in the desolate and remote darkness, is like a lighthouse in the sea, and a crystal coffin is parked in the center of the mourning shed.
Chen Nina's mother lay peacefully inside, as if she was asleep.
Her face was pale, she wore a red cotton silk fur on her head, a red Tang suit, her head was facing east and west, her hands were naturally hanging down on her sides, and she was wearing a pair of red leather shoes on her feet.
On the outside of the crystal pavilion is a special long table, which is somewhat similar to the table used by the ancient grandfather of the Yamen to handle cases, but it is more humble than the one that is simple.
There was some fruit on the table, an incense burner in the middle, and in front of the incense burner was a smaller than a bowl.
When Grandpa Ding saw us coming back, he waved his hand to me and Chen Nina.
As soon as we passed, my mother got up from the shed, holding a hat folded with white silk and some white silk cloth, and without saying a word, put the white silk on my head.
Then he tied the white silk cloth around my waist like a belt, and Fugui handed me a pair of white sneakers.
Ding Ling took the same thing as my mother and began to wear it for Chen Nina.
Then the four sons carried two coats made of hemp rope in their hands and draped them on me and Chen Nina respectively.
I looked at my mother with some confusion, it stands to reason that I can understand wearing a white silk hat and a belt, which is called white silk on the head, and wearing a belt is filial piety.
But Chen Nina and I were wearing a cloak jacket woven with hemp rope, and I didn't understand.
My mother obviously saw my concerns, and while she was tidying up Chen Nina's coat, she said that from now on, you and Chen Nina are a family, and you should pay attention to etiquette as juniors,,. which is called wearing linen and filial piety.
Bingbing, Nizi, you have worked hard in the past two days, if someone comes to worship tomorrow, you see people who want to bow down, do you hear?
Chen Nina cried and nodded.
I asked something I didn't understand:
"Mom, is everyone coming to the mourning tent to worship, do I have to kneel and kowtow to others? My mom said in a firm tone:
"Yes, there are rules here, I have just notified all my relatives and friends, and you have notified it in the name of Chen Nina's husband, as a junior, if others come to salute Chen Nina's mother.
You want to kneel down and greet others and return the courtesy, you know?
I said yes and said no more.
Then Chen Nina and I knelt on the left and right sides of the crystal pavilion, and Grandpa Ding asked Chen Nina to light the everlasting lamp on the spiritual seat, and brought a brazier and put it in the middle of the table and said:
"Today, you two little ones, let's keep the spirit here! There is fire paper behind you, burn it if it's okay, and remember that the ever-bright lamp on the table must not be extinguished, this is all exquisite.
I'll take them to dinner first, and that's how it will be arranged today!
I nodded.
Grandpa Ding greeted, Wang Feixiang, Lao Cai, Tian Feng, Lao Zhang, the fourth son and the people he brought went to the commercial street to eat.
I saw that Grandpa Ding and they had just left, so I called out Fugui, who was squatting in the spirit shed and pouring fire paper. I pulled him aside and whispered simply, everything that has happened in the past few days, telling him that Fang Chen will disguise himself as a funeral home worker tomorrow to give Fang Tian a funeral, and Guo Hao will come to see his girlfriend at night. Fugui was dumbfounded.
After listening to this, he asked: "This Nizi's mother hasn't been out of the funeral yet, you are the protagonist, can you be busy tomorrow?"
I lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff, and the smoke I spit out disappeared into the night in an instant, and it was clear that the night wind was getting stronger, and I looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and said:
"I called you here to discuss Fang Chen's visit to his father.
I have already agreed with Uncle Wang, it is estimated that I will go to the funeral home tomorrow morning, stay in the funeral home for an hour or two at most, and I will come back as soon as Fang Tian is cremated.
You can make up any reason, but you must not show flaws, Chen Nina is too sensitive, I don't want to hurt her, even the most white lie, I don't want to hurt her, that scarred heart. (To be continued)
