Epilogue (2)
If a person has been walking on a smooth road, he will gradually lose his way because of a sense of oneness.
So at any point, a pebble will fall from the sky.
It's big and small, but it's also big enough to shatter the calm.
Because in extremely relative cases, the hedge force is extraordinarily large.
After the regular season, Dong Fang finally had the opportunity to watch Zhao Yiran's dance drama live.
It's also a shame to say that this is the first time he has gone to watch "Red Paper Machine" for so long.
So taking advantage of these few days of vacation, he plans to accompany the woman on a tour of two cities.
Originally, the man planned to charter the venue and invite all his friends around him to cheer for the show, but the woman stopped him and said that it was better to leave some seats for the audience who wanted to watch the performance.
Because she knew that he was in the seat, Zhao Yiran was very excited when she was on stage, she was not only immersed in the plot of each scene, but also looked forward to rushing into the man's arms as soon as she finished it.
But what she didn't expect to usher in was an accident she never imagined.
Dong Fang stopped her in the center of the backfield, and Zhao Yiran had just seen him at that time, but the man didn't have the smile he expected on his face.
On the contrary, it is very heavy.
He first asked himself what he was going to do next.
Zhao Yiran couldn't figure out his purpose, so he could only ask, "What's wrong?" ”
She didn't think that Dong Fang would play any pranks at this time, so some bad premonitions gradually rose in her heart.
"Dad called me just now... Say..."Dong Fang stopped talking, and her dodgy gaze was testing her counter-emergency to the woman opposite.
Jiang Yaohua called, then something must have happened at home.
But the first time she saw Dong Fang's unspeakable expression, didn't he always be afraid of heaven and earth?
“… Grandpa had an accident. After the man finished speaking, he even immediately looked away from her.
But when I was afraid of something again, I saw the woman blinking blankly, wanting to ask something but no sound.
Dong Fang was very sure that the hand he was holding was shaken by her body, as if he had been beaten by a cold wind.
In the middle of the night, she used almost all her strength, biting her teeth and the air in her mouth, "What's the matter..."
Zhao Yiran not only couldn't hear the sounds around him, but he couldn't even hear the words that came out of his mouth.
She didn't dare to think about how she would spend such a day without Dong Fang by her side.
How to get through my father's phone on the spot, hear the news of my grandfather's accident, and how to book a ticket to return to Yishi to see the last look that is too late.
The shock of the news made Zhao Yiran seem to have lost the ability to discover, discern and perceive everything around him.
She can only bring everything into her eyes, but she can't make any judgment.
She could see that the plane was about to arrive at the airport in Yishi, and she could see the tearful elders and relatives in the family, but she didn't see the last side of her grandfather.
She almost collapsed in Dong Fang's arms, without any strength.
When I was a child, I often heard the teacher say that it would be nice if people had no bones, so that those who were physically hard would not cry to death because of the basic training class.
But she felt like she had no bones now, but it wasn't a good feeling at all.
Grandpa left unexpectedly because of a car accident, and he died before he even had time to be sent to the emergency room of the hospital.
That afternoon, he was going to go to the park to walk around and bask in the sun, but his grandmother was lazy and didn't want to join him, but who knew but didn't wait for his wife to come back.
Zhao Yiran knew that Li Ting had been hit hard by this incident, and he heard Jiang Yaohua say that he didn't dare to let Li Ting come back by herself at that time.
When she returned home with Dong Fang, she saw that Li Ting had been crying.
Until the funeral, the tears on her face did not disappear.
Whether it is Zhao Yiran to Li Ting, or Dong Fang to Zhao Yiran, it is the first time that he feels so powerless.
The death of a loved one is always the heaviest subject.
His loss may have come as suddenly as a torrential rain, blowing wind and dust.
Although the weather is always sunny, the soil soaked by the rain will be damp for a long time.
And for other relatives who remain in the world, this kind of longevity can last a lifetime.
On the day of the funeral, Zhao Yiran stood not far away and quietly looked at the photos on the tombstone.
Whatever the reason, she didn't want to believe that there would be people here who she would never see again in this life.
The old man, who had a good conversation with the juniors, suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye.
She could even recall that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he drank a few sips of wine at the dinner table, and said to Liang Jing and Dong Fang, "I'm waiting for you to let me report my great-grandson quickly!" ”
There will never be another picture like that.
But the family has also given half of their hearts to others during this special time
- Grandma.
How should this woman, who has been on the tip of her grandfather's heart all her life, face this ending that was thrown out at will by reality.
If everyone in the family is ranked, then grandpa must be the most worried about his wife.
In that century, the real "Once Upon a Time" between them was slow, and the carriages, horses, and mails were slow, so it was only enough for the old man to love one person.
At that stage when women were not independent and the world was generally serious, my grandmother never went into the kitchen and never did rough work.
At all times, she is a figure who is valued and treated first.
Grandpa said, "She has given birth to two dolls for me, and I can't be too good to her." ”
But this delicate woman, who has been protected by a hard shell, is exceptionally strong these days, and has never seen her shed a single tear even when everyone is around.
Zhao Yiran didn't dare to ask why grandma didn't cry, isn't it really sadder than these children?
The answer is no resound.
It was a man she had relied on all her life, even if the love he gave was enough to make the old lady not vulnerable, but now the barrier against fragility is gone.
Especially on the afternoon of the day they came back from the cemetery, the two sisters of the Zheng family and Zhao Yiran were instructed by the elders to accompany their grandmother.
Because this old man is so calm, it's a little scary.
She doesn't cry or grieve, everything is hidden by her peaceful countenance.
Spring is gradually beginning, the afternoon sun spills into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, and grandma sits alone on the chaise longue and quietly stares at the distance in the distance.
Several grandchildren sat around her in small chairs.
It stands to reason that Zheng Mengyao, a psychological counselor, should be very good at chatting, but at this time, she also felt that she was stupid.
They went back and forth to relieve the old lady's mood, wanting her to speak more.
But in the end, I was comforted by my grandmother.
Zhao Yiran sat behind her, saw her grandmother finally twist her head to their side, smiled at the three sisters one by one, and held Zheng Mengyao's hand next to her and patted it gently.
She said that she understood that everyone was worried about her, afraid that she would be upset, but she didn't say anything.
"To tell you the truth, how can you not be sad...", she sighed, and after a few seconds, "But no two people walk together, no husband and wife." ”
It's like comforting yourself, and it's like comforting them.
These words are like the tip of a needle, and they will drill into the most sensitive place in their hearts at once, and then push them into it fiercely.
forced the tears of the sisters out of their eyes.
Grandma looked down at herself holding her granddaughter's hand, and was also thinking that she was once held by her wife, the old man touched it greedily, and then shook her head with a smile, "At our age, the one who leaves first will be happier." ”
"You have to stay one to face... It's lonely, though... But I'd rather stay with me. ”
The old man finally wiped her moist eyes with paper, maybe she bowed her head for too long, and she raised it again, "It's been my whole life, and it's time for me to let him." ”
The sunlight is as warm as that day, but maybe it's like you said that the park and the home are different after all.
Wife, Ailing, I was wrong.
