Chapter 322: Pain
In the next few days, when Gu Yingqing recalled it afterwards, it was as unclear as a drunken fragment, obviously she participated in and experienced every link.
She also wrote an obituary herself, sent it to Cao Bin, and informed the time and place of the farewell ceremony, and Cao Bin contacted her grandfather's old friends and students on her behalf, so that those who wanted to come to mourn had time to come.
At the same time, the Nanjiang Academy of Fine Arts also released an obituary on major official channels.
According to the general custom of Changhu Yongxi, the deceased should stay at home for three or seven days.
Through experienced neighbors, people from the funeral industry were found to handle all trivial matters, and Gu Yingqing and her grandmother received distant relatives who came to mourn after receiving the news.
Where there are many people, there is gossip, especially Gu Yingqing and a child who are dressed in white linen at the same time.
Gu Zhongmin has no brothers and sisters, only cousins, and his son is gone, so a granddaughter wears linen and filial piety for him, where did the child come from?
On the first day, Gu Yingqing noticed more than once that others were quietly discussing while focusing on her and the child.
Gu Yingqingquan didn't see it.
On this day, she received a strange call from Nanjiang, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Zhao Jin's voice.
Zhao Jin asked someone to send a wreath, but she told her on the phone in a gloating tone that the DNA identification had been made.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yingqing hung up the phone.
She felt strange, it should have been Xu Anrong who called her to tell her the result and asked her to hand over the shares.
Maybe Cheng Yuesheng mediated it.
Cheng Zhiyan slept at Jin Yuyin's house at night.
Gu Yingqing wanted to keep vigil, and his cousin and aunt were both cousins on his grandmother's side, and he brought the children with him, and asked Gu Yingqing to sleep for a while in the early morning.
She refused, she was afraid that she would not wake up easily if she got on the bed, so she had to guard the everlasting lamp and not let it go out.
Later, Cheng Yuesheng forcibly took him to the back seat of the car, pressed his head on his lap, and forced her to squint for a while.
Before she fell asleep, she wondered, how was his injury? Sometimes it disappears for a while, is it time to change the dressing?
The mourning music continues, and the voice in the dream is also the same one, and I don't even know if it's a dream or a voice in reality that has been lingering in my ears.
She also heard the painful muddy sound of her grandfather in his throat before he took his last breath, as if he was begging her for help, and as if he was trying to find a relief.
Getting louder and louder......
Gu Yingqing's eyes widened, staring at the dimly lit carriage in a daze.
The face was a little cold, it was raining, and the car window was half a palm-wide gap, and the rain was blown into the car window and fell on the face.
The rain was not heavy, and the clear yellow lighting in her yard was covered with a layer of mist.
Her face rests on her legs, warm and powerful.
Cheng Yuesheng fell asleep, his breathing undulating evenly and peacefully.
She has an extra blanket on her, which she has taken out to cover every summer when she returns to her hometown since she was a child.
After each use, grandma will wash and dry it and put it away with mothproof.
She stared at her in a daze and wanted to cry, her nose was sore and her eyes were hot, but she always remembered what Wang Suli said, when her relatives cried, the deceased would be worried, and she couldn't leave with peace of mind.
Gu Yingqing didn't believe these things before, but he endured it again and again, even if his eyes were red several times in the past three days, he never let tears fall.
After the three dates, the body was transported to the funeral home early the next morning.
Gu Yingqing asked Cheng Yuesheng to avoid it with the child, so that he didn't have to receive the guests who came to mourn with her.
She remembered that Cheng Yuesheng stared at her with dark eyes, silent, obviously disapproving, and that look was waiting for her to give a reason.
Gu Yingqing explained: "There are people from Nanjiang, maybe someone will know you, and it will be difficult to explain when the time comes."
Cheng Yuesheng asked, "What do you need to explain? There's been so much gossip these days, haven't you been talking nonsense to others?"
I've been clinging to her these days, and she hasn't pulled her face if she doesn't cooperate with him, only this time her tone is a little impatient and a little heavy.
When Gu Yingqing heard this, he raised his eyes and stared at him.
Touching her haggard pale face,
His eyes were gloomy and cold, and Cheng Yuesheng shut up and looked away.
"I'm afraid that if it reaches the ears of some people in Nanjiang, it will affect your affairs. I don't care, I'm afraid that others will know about my relationship with my child, and I will do something to my child in order to target you and me."
After she finished speaking, she avoided his gaze just in time.
Cheng Yuesheng looked into the distance, his eyebrows unfurled.
These days, she and Cheng Zhiyan get along well on the surface, but it's only on the surface.
Cheng Zhiyan knows what death is, and he can also sense the emotions of adults, and he has always been a little embarrassed, and most of the time he relies on Gu Yingqing's side.
Gu Yingqing would eat with him, lead him to the bathroom, let Jin Yuyin take him to rest, and occasionally the two would chat, but she still spoke softly.
It's just that I don't have much eye contact with the child.
Cheng Zhiyan asked him privately, how can I make her happy?
He said in his heart, your father and I are worried, and you still ask me?
still means it, let Cheng Zhiyan accompany her more.
On the way here, there were also two adults and one small sharing a car, at this time the two adults leaned on the side of the car and talked, Cheng Yuesheng leaned against the rear seat door with one hand, Cheng Zhiyan was still in the car, holding the car door from the inside, rubbing his mouth against the window glass, and asked his father to let him get out of the car.
Gu Yingqing heard Yan Yan tapping the window, and immediately said, "I'm done, you let him come down."
Cheng Yuesheng was thinking about things, and when he heard this, his eyelids moved, opened the car door, and took the child down with one hand.
This time, Cheng Yuesheng still didn't listen to her much, and went with the child, but he deliberately avoided the crowd, and there were a lot of work calls, so there was just a reason to avoid it.
The place where the farewell ceremony was held was the largest auditorium here, and Gu Zhongmin had thousands of students, some of whom had a bit of identity, and all of them who were famous in the hall of fame came.
Gu Yingqing and her grandmother greeted and thanked everyone they knew.
After the ceremony, a staff member came to push the ice coffin through the small door at the back and pushed it to cremation through the road behind the auditorium.
Gu Yingqing had always been quite calm, until the ice coffin was out of sight, she smelled the smell of incense candles and the light fragrance of chrysanthemums, and began to choke inexplicably.
She didn't obey her hands and feet, and the moment her tears were left, she had already pulled out her legs to catch up.
Behind her, her grandmother hurriedly called her with a crying voice: "Qingqing......"
"Grandpa!"
There was a big road outside, Gu Yingqing chased after it, lying on the ice coffin and not letting it be pushed away, and the tears that had been held back for three days were out of control at this moment.
"Grandpa......" she cried bitterly, "Grandpa."
Cheng Yuesheng rushed over and held Gu Yingqing's trapped hands in his arms.
Gu Yingqing leaned on his arms, just watching Gu Zhongmin being pushed farther and farther away, she blinked away her tears vigorously, not letting her vision blur and miss the last look.
What happened later was even less clear.
Receiving the ashes, burial, banquet guests, she only remembered that her stomach hurt, from the beginning of the pain, to the endure, until the pain was so cold that she pulled Cheng Yuesheng's clothes and asked him to take her to the hospital.
