The whole room was filled with a sad atmosphere because of the old lady's departure.

Although the old lady had a poisonous mouth before her death, she liked to talk about you, and she was not very liked, but when she really died, everyone seemed to suddenly feel that they had lost something.

The heart is empty.

The only doctor at the scene who was not affected and was accustomed to seeing life and death reminded Yu Donglai in a whisper: "The old lady has left, we still have to deal with the rest of the matter as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." Yu Donglai nodded.

He walked over and whispered to Yu Jin: "Yu Jin, your grandmother has already left, get out of the way, you have to deal with the rest of the matter." ”

Yu Jin didn't seem to hear it, still holding a grandmother's hand, feeling the last bit of temperature, and reluctantly letting go.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to come forward to disturb.

From childhood to adulthood, the person who has the best relationship with the elderly is Yu Jin.

With the death of his grandmother, he must have been the saddest person in this room.

"Yu Jin ......"

Jiang Muqing had red eyes, took Yu Jin's hand, felt the strength of his hand, and said in a choked voice: "Grandma is gone, don't be like this, okay." ”

Yu Jin ignored her.

Yu Jin...... I beg you. ”

Jiang Muqing whispered again: "If you are like this, grandma will be sad." ”

"Whew~"

Yu Jin seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, straightened up, let go of the old man's hand, and silently stepped aside.

"Mu Qing, in the next few days, you can help me take care of Yu Jin."

Li Qian said apologetically: "I and your Uncle Yu are estimated to be very busy." ”

"I will, Auntie, don't worry."

After Jiang Muqing finished speaking, she took Yu Jin's hand, went out of the door, and sat in the living room.

Outside the door, Li Wei had already contacted the professional white affairs team, and when he waited for the other party's notice, he began to pour in.

The doctor removed all the instruments, and Li Qian and Yu Yao began to wipe the old man's body and change his clothes in the house behind closed doors according to the master's request.

After all this is done, the people in the professional team will enter the bedroom, start carrying the old man into the hearse, and set off.

"Wait a minute!" Yu Jin suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

"Grandma doesn't like others to touch her, I'll carry it." After speaking, Yu Jin walked silently to the bedroom.

Jiang Muqing hurriedly stood up and begged in a low voice on the side: "Uncle Yu, although it is a little unreasonable, I want to hold the portrait of my grandmother and lead the way in front." ”

Seeing this, the masters looked at Li Wei, and Li Wei looked at Yu Donglai.

Yu Donglai hesitated, nodded, and said, "Just follow them." ”

"Husband."

"Brother."

"Brother-in-law." Li Ping was a little opposed, and persuaded him: "According to customs, this should be up to you, this girl's current identity, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, after all, it's ......."

Yu Dong glanced at him, not angry and arrogant, so frightened that Li Ping didn't say anything.

This was the first time he had seen Yu Donglai like this.

Li Qian and Yu Yao didn't say anything more.

In the past, there was an old lady who could suppress him, but now that the old lady is gone, outside, in the Yu family, his words are absolute authority.

"Thank you, Uncle Yu." Jiang Muqing said gratefully.

"Go ahead."

So, Jiang Muqing walked in front with the statue in front, and Yu Jin bent down behind the old man and walked very slowly.

Everyone followed at the back.

The old man looked like he was asleep.

Yu Jin has never carried her grandmother since she was a child.

It was his first and last time.

Yu Jin lowered her head and muttered to herself as she walked: "It turns out that grandma, you are a liar, and it is not heavy at all." ”

In this way, the group walked out of the bedroom, out of the living room, and out of the garden step by step.

In the morning, when everyone saw people coming to the old lady's door one after another, they knew what was going on, and when they inquired, they found out that the old man was dying.

For the elderly, everyone is a little sorry.

Don't look at the old man's poisonous mouth towards his family, but the people outside are the opposite to the neighbors around them, they are all better, kinder, have a good personality, and have a good temper.

I didn't expect to leave suddenly.

They also gathered around, saying condolences to Li Qian and the others.

Li Qian responded one by one, saying that over the years, she thanked everyone for taking care of her.

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that where they have taken care of the elderly over the years, but the elderly have taken care of them.

Every time there is something in the community, they can't solve it, they will go to the old man to complain, and when the old man hears it, he feels reasonable, and he will help to respond to the property.

As soon as the property manager hears the complaint of the elderly, he will immediately arrange for someone to rectify and implement it.

Because everyone knows that she has a good son, even the county officials need to speak politely when they see her.

This feels a bit like in ancient times, where mothers are more expensive than sons, and the old people are respected and respected by everyone because of their sons.

But the old man has not relied on his son's influence in his life to do something against his conscience and abide by his heart.

After Yu Jin put the old man on his back in the hearse, he left Yu Donglai alone in the car, holding the portrait, and followed the masters towards his hometown overnight.

The other people drove the car, with white flowers on their ears, and followed all the way behind, keeping a distance.

As early as yesterday, under Li Wei's arrangement, the hometown had already set up a mourning hall and made preparations.

Yu Jin sat in her uncle Li Wei's car, silent.

On the road, from time to time, there was a "burst" of firecrackers in the quiet dark night ahead, which was so clear.

Jiang Muqing, who was sitting next to her, was still holding her tears, and she had been holding Yu Jin's hand since she got into the car, not letting go, wanting to pass on some of her own warmth.

At this time, she didn't know how she should comfort Yu Jin, so she could only accompany her silently.

The distance from Kui County to my hometown is not far, but because there is a mountain road, it is not easy to walk, so it takes some time, about 2 hours.

Li Wei suggested that it should be done in Kui County, and it would be convenient to do anything, but Yu Donglai promised the old lady that he would send him back for burial and bury him with the old man.

After a jolt, the convoy finally reached its destination.

The tiled house in the dark night was very bright, and the sound of trumpets and gongs and drums sounded in the moment of the spiritual driveway.

After getting off the bus, the people who had already arranged it began to get busy one after another.

Yu Jin and Jiang Muqing were taken to a room.

After a while, Li Qian came over with a green coat and handed it to Yu Jin and said, "Yu Jin, it's time to change your clothes." ”

Yu Jin took it and changed it silently.

Li Qian took another filial piety handkerchief and put it on him, and then pinned a small white flower to her chest.

Yu Jin, who was dressed, went to the mourning hall alone, knelt on the ground, and began to burn paper money and keep a watch.

Jiang Muqing got up and came to the house, and asked Li Qian, "Auntie, what about me?" ”

"You don't need to."

Li Qian explained: "This kind of thing can't be worn indiscriminately, if your parents find out, they will be angry, and we can't do this kind of thing." ”

Although she and Yu Jin are now boyfriend and girlfriend, they also like her.

But after all, she hasn't entered the house yet, and now she is wearing green clothes, wearing filial piety flowers, and keeping a guard for the elderly, which is not suitable for reason.

"But ......"

Li Qian stretched out her hand and interrupted: "Mu Qing, don't say it, your aunt has received it, but I don't want to be complained by your parents afterwards, angry with us, and say that our old Yu family is not." ”

"Okay, then."

Jiang Muqing compromised: "Then I'll help the others." ”

So on the mourning hall, a young and sweet girl who did not wear linen and filial piety began to shuttle through the crowd, doing what she could and getting busy.

Whether it's serving food and pouring water, or picking up guests, he is very skillful, not at all like a student who doesn't know anything.

Many people don't know each other and don't know who she is.

When there were guests around her to mourn and ask about her, she would reply: "I am Yu Jin's future daughter-in-law." ”

Li Qian and Yu Donglai saw all this.

Li Qian: "Mu Qing, this girl, really looks better and better." ”

Yu Donglai also sighed: "Yes, she helped a lot tonight, she has not rested, compared to Yu Jinlai, she is much more mature in some aspects." ”

"At the same age, girls are much more mature than boys."

Li Qian said: "Before, Mu Qing, this girl, still wanted to ask me for Tsing Yi and was ready to wear linen and filial piety, but I refused, and she seemed to be a little lost. ”

"It's right to refuse this kind of thing, children are not sensible, we can't mess around as adults,"

Yu Dong said: "It was already inappropriate to let her go out with the portrait before, and we can't let our parents think that our family doesn't understand the rules." ”

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Li Qian came to Jiang Muqing's side and said with concern: "Muqing, you go and take a rest, you've stayed up all night." ”

"Auntie who doesn't need it, I'm young, and I can still hold on."

Jiang Muqing replied, "You go and squint, I'll help you watch." ”

"No need."

Li Qian said: "By the way, you also help us persuade Yu Jin, he has been kneeling in front of the spirit all night, without saying a word, if he kneels again, his knees will not be able to stand it." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Muqing silently came to Yu Jin's side, looking at the somewhat lonely back, she didn't say a word, she knelt next to him, and burned paper money together.

One minute, ten minutes, half an hour.

Yu Jin, who had been silent all night, turned her head to look at Jiang Muqing, and finally spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse.

"You don't have to kneel with me."

was rejected by her aunt before, and now she is rejected by Yu Jin and Yu Jin.

Jiang Muqing, who has always felt that she is Yu Jin's daughter-in-law, suddenly felt very aggrieved in her heart while being sad.

She pouted with red eyes and said, "I don't, I'm going to kneel here." ”

“.” Yu Jin.

"Do you dislike me? Treat me as an outsider, too! ”

Jiang Muqing said aggrievedly: "Although she is not my own grandmother, I have already regarded her as my real grandmother." ”

"Nope."

Yu Jin looked at the stubborn Jiang Muqing and explained: "I just think that if you are a girl, you will not be able to stand your knees if you have been kneeling with me for a long time." ”

"No, you're underestimating me too much."

Jiang Muqing said unconvinced: "You can do it, and I can do it too." ”

"Then take your shoulders."

Yu Jin said expressionlessly: "If you feel uncomfortable, you get up, don't hold on." ”

In this way, Jiang Muqing accompanied Yu Jin to kneel in front of the spirit.

When Li Qian came over and saw it, she was a little surprised.

I asked her to persuade Yu Jin to get up, why did she kneel there.

She was about to step forward when she was stopped by Yu Donglai who came from behind.

He said, "You don't care. ”

"But."

"Young people's affairs, you let them handle it in their own way."

Sure enough, when Yu Jin found that Jiang Muqing next to him couldn't hold on, he spoke again: "You don't have to insist." ”

"If you don't get up, I won't get up."

Jiang Muqing said stubbornly: "What are you afraid of, it depends on which of us kneels for a long time, it's a big deal that we will be in a wheelchair together in the future, anyway, I promised my grandmother that I will take care of you for the rest of your life." ”

“.” Yu Jin.

In the face of Jiang Muqing's unreasonableness, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Boys and girls are always different.

He can insist, but Jiang Muqing may really not be able to persevere.

You can't really let the other party's knee hurt because of yourself, right?

"Okay, just get up."

Yu Jin hesitated and agreed, "You also get up." ”

"Well, you get up first, I'll get up again."

“.” Yu Jin.

Because his legs were numb on his knees, when he got up, he couldn't stand up directly.

Jiang Muqing wanted to stand up and reach out to help, but she couldn't stand up successfully, and her legs were numb.

“.”

When the master who was beating the gongs and drums in the mourning hall saw it, he shouted to Yu Yao in the back: "The two of them seem to have legs, you come to help." ”

"Okay, I'm here."

Yu Yao walked over, holding Yu Jin with one hand and Jiang Muqing with the other, walked towards the back room next to her, and sat down on the chair.

"Thank you, auntie."

Because it was a hot day, Jiang Muqing was wearing a skirt, so Yu Jin saw the other party's red knees at a glance.

Although he knelt on a thick stack of yellow money paper, because the money paper was rough, and after a long time of contact and friction, his knees still couldn't stand it, and it hurt hotly.

Yu Jin felt a little guilty.

To be honest, he didn't expect Jiang Muqing to come alone today and accompany him.

"You two can sleep in this room, and I'll go watch the mourning hall for a while."

After speaking, Yu Yao closed the door and walked out.

"Yu Jin."

Jiang Muqing sat next to her and said with some distress: "If you are sad, just cry, just cry, don't be bored and don't talk all the time." ”

"I'm not sad."

Yu Jin seemed to be self-hypnotizing and whispered, "I'm not sad at all. ”

"You don't want that, okay?"

Jiang Muqing said: "Grandma left with a smile, which shows that she has no regrets or pain." ”

"I want to sleep."

Yu Jin didn't want to talk about this topic, he asked, "Can I borrow your leg and give me a pillow?" I don't want to sleep in bed. ”

"Hmm."

Seeing Jiang Muqing agree, Yu Jin fell down and pillowed her head on Jiang Muqing's long legs.

He looked out the window at the endless darkness before dawn, and muttered sadly in his eyes, "What did grandma tell you?" ”

"She said to me, 'I'll ask you for my little Yu Jin in the future.'"

Jiang Muqing reached out and touched Yu Jin's head, and sighed: "Grandma really loves you, loves you very much." ”

"She must like you too."

Yu Jin's afterglow looked at the red knees under her head, and asked softly, "Your knees must be hurting now, right?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Jiang Muqing's eyes couldn't help but look at Yu Jin's knees.

It's a pity that he was wearing trousers and couldn't see anything.

But he knelt for so long

Jiang Muqing said distressedly: "Your knee must hurt even more." ”

"It's weird."

Yu Jin closed her eyes and muttered, "I don't hurt at all." ”
