Chapter Twenty-Six: Throwing the Thousand Island Lake
The grievances and grievances of the older generation, as these predecessors passed away one after another, gradually turned into an insignificant speck of dust and fell in this rolling red dust. Only in the face of time will people know how small they are!
Old Man Qian may have had a glorious history when he was young, but no matter how powerful a person is, he can't escape the arrangement of fate after all. When you are alive, you are dominant, and after all, there is still a day when your life will end. No wonder I haven't seen him for so many years, and Mr. Qian said so many things to his children and grandchildren. Maybe at that time, this was what he wanted to say most in his heart.
Often, the most simple words are the most truthful words.
The old ghost and I didn't belong to the Qian family, but because of these things, we naturally became a part of the Qian family. We also stayed to help Duoduo and Uncle Qian take care of Old Man Qian's funeral, although not much will receive this feeling, but we still have to fulfill our responsibilities.
In accordance with the old man's last wish, after the cremation, we scattered Mr. Qian's ashes into Qiandao Lake with Uncle Qian's brothers. Of course, we definitely don't let the local authorities know about this, but enter the lake as tourists.
When we came to Qiandao Lake again, we didn't have the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. On the contrary, everyone was a little heavy. In the middle of a blue lake, there are islands one after another. As far as the eye can see, there is almost no end in sight. And the islands just as far as the eye can see, there are some feelings that people can't count. I also suddenly understood the origin of the name "Thousand Island Lake", I don't know who came up with the name? It's also very apt.
The only thing that makes people feel comforting now is the slight breeze that blows in, which makes people feel relaxed.
Taking advantage of the wind, Duoduo's father and uncles scattered the ashes into the pure water of Qiandao Lake one by one. In fact. Originally, I have seen scattering ashes into the sea and into the lake, and the urn is slowly poured into it. But the brothers adopted this way, probably to express their gratitude and reluctance to the old man.
As the ashes were exhausted little by little, Mr. Qian's life came to an end.
There is also the family property left by the old man, except for the emerald brother of the family, the box was melted into gold and converted into cash. Anyway. As long as it is the descendant of the Qian family, those who see it have a share. Basically, they all have income, but the amount is different. Surprisingly, no one raised objections to this allocation.
This may be that the children and grandchildren know the old man's difficulty and good intentions, and want him to leave blindly. But if you think about it the other way around, it makes sense. Because for them, the old man who had been "dead for many years" suddenly came back to life again, and brought so much family property with him. And then. I didn't drag my legs at all. For these children and grandchildren, there are benefits and no troubles, and of course everyone is happy!
Until now, I still remember what Mr. Qian said to Mr. Qian and Mr. Qian and Mr. Qian. When the third and fourth children tried their best to save the old man, they were strongly opposed by him. The old man said, "What does it mean to live forever? Nothing can be done! What's the use of immortality? God knows, I've lived so long, it's long enough. Since fate has arranged it this way, I gladly accept it! You guys. Don't worry about me, just live your life well. ”
Although the old man didn't say anything profound. Maybe it's his understanding of life. He had one last wish: to ask Lisa's grandmother how it was. How have you been all these years? When Duoduo burns paper for him again, he will sue him as well.
When he heard this, the old ghost couldn't help but snicker. I held it for a long time before he said to me: "Boss, look at it, I really don't see it, this old man is still an infatuated species!" So many years. I'm still thinking about Lisa's grandmother! If Duoduo's grandmother knew about this, what would she be angry about? I guess my face is green! Haha......"
I hurriedly covered the old ghost's mouth and scolded, "Shhh...... It's okay if you don't have virtue in your mouth, but you should be quiet! I'm afraid people don't know what's going on? ”
Listen to me. That's where it converges.
During the few days during the filial piety period, we also hung up the phone on Lisa. Lisa on the phone said: "Her grandmother's condition is not optimistic, but she is in stable condition for the time being. For a while, there should be no danger to life. ”
The old ghost said immorally: "Yo, I don't think these two old people said yes?" To die together? Dare to be affectionate, get together over there? ”
I hurriedly kicked the old ghost and scolded, "Why do you talk so much? You don't even let go of the dead, are you still human? ”
The old ghost rubbed his ass and said to me, "I'm just kidding, is it so serious?" ”
I said, "That's the most annoying thing about you, you don't know what jokes you can make and what you can't!" If Duoduo hears this, or the Qian family hears it, they will have to get you out! It's still polite to pick you up, and it's estimated that you'll have to be beaten violently! ”
"Okay, okay, can't I say it?" The old ghost said.
I remembered what the old man said before he died, let me go to the United States. I suddenly remembered that there was still someone in the United States who knew him, and I wondered how they were doing. What's more, my aunt is still in the United States. Since the last time I said goodbye to Ghost Island in the Caribbean, I haven't been in touch again.
So, in my free time, I called my aunt's house. However, the phone prompt told me that the number was already empty! This made my heart sink, and it seemed that my aunt did not go back. Come to think of it, she has had a mess with my uncle, what else is there to go back to?
I think of Adams, and I wonder how this grandson is doing now.
So, I called Adams' house again......
In fact, before I called, I didn't know the bottom in my heart, and now in this era of mobile phones flying all over the sky, who still uses a phone? But unexpectedly, that number turned out to be clear! When an old "Hello?" came over the phone? "How happy I am!
I said to the other end of the phone in English, "Hey, Adams, I'm Fang Yu, listen to your voice, why are you old like this?" ”
After speaking my half-baked English for a long time, I figured out that it was Adams' father! It made my head break out in a cold sweat, but thankfully I didn't greet his ancestors as I did every time. Otherwise, I guess his father would have to come to China with a kitchen knife to find me!
I learned from Adams's father: Adams traveled to China a few days ago! (To be continued......)
