Chapter 42 Tears are the most useless thing in the world
The filial sons and grandsons in this room, and the people who came to see them off were sad for a while. Alas, the little sister has survived in this life. When it comes, there are so many children and grandchildren to see him off, and it is not in vain to live this life.
Gu Xiaomei looked at this scene with a smile, and there was a faint melancholy in her eyes. Is this what it feels like before death? In fact, it is not as terrible as she imagined, perhaps because there are too many people here, and she has a headache and does not feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, stop crying. It's human, there will always be such a thing. I've lived this long time, and it's long since enough. ”
The people around looked at the dry and thin Gu Xiaomei, especially her children and grandchildren, and almost couldn't help crying, but they still didn't dare to cry for Gu Xiaomei's extremely weak sake, and they didn't dare to continue crying and calling her uncomfortable.
Li Da was extremely sad, he looked at his mother who almost only had a handful of bones left in front of him, and he only felt that his eyes were sour. His mother-in-law, since she married into the Li family, she has not had a good life. In the past few decades, there has not been a single day of idle work for them and for their children and grandchildren. At this time, Li Da remembered in a trance the promise he made to his mother when he was a child.
"In the future, I will let my mother live a good life, not let my mother starve and freeze, and let my mother be the best mother in the world!"
The promises I made as a child are still fresh in my mind, but when has that sincere heart changed? Perhaps after getting married, his wife and children appeared one by one, gradually replacing his mother's place in his heart. In addition, his mother has always been not good at words, and even if he has any grievances, he swallows them by himself, so he gradually feels that it is nothing for his mother to suffer some grievances. After all, what old woman in the village didn't come over like this?
But he didn't think that way a long time ago. When he was young, because others said Gu Xiaomei's gossip, the third watch didn't sleep in the middle of the night, quietly touched someone's house, and threw dog shit into someone's yard. was found and called a dog to run around the village.
What is the difference between him at that time and him now? Is it time that has made him what he is now?
Li Dayi grasped Gu Xiaomei's dry and thin hand, and his heart was bitter and unspeakable, and in the end he could only shout out a title that he had shouted for a lifetime.
"Mother-"
The bitterness and unfinished words contained in this cry are vividly revealed. The surrounding brothers and sisters were shouted by Li Da, and their tears couldn't help but fall down.
The old Gu on the side looked at this scene, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all, quietly touched out of the room, and cooked a bowl of ginseng soup for his sister-in-law. In this last time, Xiaomei finally no longer has to grit her teeth and insist, and can leave this world full of suffering for her freely. He should be happy, why can't he control his tears?
Once upon a time, Lao Gu Tou stubbornly believed that tears were the most useless thing in the world, because it was only useful in front of people who cared about you. As for the others, when they see your tears, they may feel dirty in their eyes. But now, obviously no one is watching, Lao Gu Tou still can't help but burst into tears.
When a person is extremely uncomfortable and depressed, tears gush out at this time, which is a kind of protection for the body, protecting the body from accidents due to excessive sadness.
Perhaps, this is the reason why people have tears.
Lao Gu Tou shed tears while adding firewood to the stove, and in the crackling sound of dry firewood, he seemed to have lost that strong skin all of a sudden, leaving only a brother who was worried about his sister.
"Grandpa......"
Changsheng chased after him from the moment he saw that Lao Gutou's face was wrong, and when he saw him crying silently, he only felt uncomfortable in his heart. But she wouldn't say anything persuasive and obedient, so she could only squat beside Lao Gu Tou to prove that she was still there.
In fact, Lao Gu Tou was indeed comforted, he looked at the little immortal next to him, and only felt that the sourness in his heart had improved a lot. Quickly cooked the ginseng, and the old Gu came back to Gu Xiaomei.
At this time, Li Da's wife was mourning and crying.
"Mother, in the past, it was my fault as a daughter-in-law, I didn't know what to do. What mother-in-law would be so good to her daughter-in-law? I can't even do it, but I still feel dissatisfied all day long, and I'm really sorry......"
"I'm also a mother, it's all wrong, don't blame me, I'll change it......"
Several daughters-in-law revealed their true feelings, which caused others to cry even more. In fact, how to say it, they are not bad people, but who is not thinking about problems from the perspective of what is beneficial to them? This is human nature, they just think that Gu Xiaomei is not as important as their husband and children. In this world, there are people who take their mother-in-law very seriously, but there are not many.
Gu Xiaomei also knows this truth, she has lived for decades, and she has been long enough, what kind of thing has she never seen? It's just one of the small things.
"Okay, stop crying. I know. You'll know this day, but that's all it is. I'm not going to do it, after I leave, you want to be harmonious, you are all a family, what can't you sit down and discuss slowly? You brothers and sisters, you have to be good since you were a child, I don't worry, but this person has grown up, and there are always wives and children who are closer than brothers and sisters, and I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that when you do things, you will think more about your previous affection. If this brotherhood and sisterhood slowly wears off, it is better to stay away and faint, and don't see each other in the future......"
When she was there, the family was still a big family, but as soon as she left, these children also had their own children, and they would always think more about their wives and children. Although she knew in her heart that this was the norm, Gu Xiaomei only felt a sigh when she thought about her second brother, who was as good to her as ever, and then thought about other families in the village.
Maybe there are brothers and sisters when the parents are here.
Hearing Gu Xiaomei speak, several children of the Li family almost cried. The mother's words reminded them of the pure feelings of childhood, and when they thought of their mother's situation at this time, their hearts were even more desolate and unspeakable.
At this time, Lao Gu Tou brought the fried ginseng soup over and carefully gave it to Gu Xiaomei to drink. This bowl of medicinal juice, if it can make the little sister more comfortable, it would be good.
Gu Xiaomei's face was fine at this time, she drank the bowl of ginseng soup, and then carefully arranged the situation of the children after her death. In front of the respected old people in Lijia Village and Gujia Village, Gu Xiaomei divided her children's home.
"Mother!"
As soon as they heard Gu Xiaomei's words, the Li Da brothers were a little anxious and couldn't help but speak. But the wives around them couldn't help but glance at each other, with a hint of relief in their eyes.
