CHAPTER XXIII
Li Tifu's originally sweet dream was woken up by a loud knock on the door, Li Tifu got up from the bed with his eyes scolding, dragged his body that had not yet woken up to the door, and shouted loudly, "Who is it!" β
The voice in the back shouted "big night" a little lower than the front, and it was clear that the voice behind was obviously inaudible.
"It's me, open the door" is a steady woman's voice, it's Bahar.
Li Tifu heard this voice and hurriedly opened the door. In front of me, there was a doctor in a white coat, still pushing a stretcher cart one after the other, and there was an ambulance on the road like last time.
It's just that this time it's different that there is a person lying on the stretcher, and it's Wumaier. Although there was a large white cloth on his body, he could clearly see who was lying underneath.
Li Tifu looked at Bahar in surprise, wanting to get some enlightenment, because now Li Tifu was very confused, and only then did he wake up from his sleep, and Wumaier was carried over like this, and there was a white cloth on it, he knew what it meant, but he didn't dare to think about it.
The doctor pushed the stretcher cart into the large courtyard and asked which room Bahar was, and Bahar motioned for the doctor to be a separate room in the courtyard, and then motioned for Bahar to quickly enter the room before the doctor.
Two minutes after the doctor entered, he pushed the empty stretcher cart out of the room and pushed it outside, loaded the stretcher cart into the ambulance and drove away.
Bahar also came out of the room, and motioned for Li Tifu to come to him.
Slowly, with a look of incredulity and disbelief, he reached the front of Bahar. Bahar seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak, just looked at Li Tifu, probably forgetting what he wanted to say.
"Your fatherβ" Bahar spoke.
"Your father is dead" said very calmly.
Li Tifu looked at Bahar with an expression of disbelief, "How come!?" βγ
"The doctor said that he died of heart failure caused by long-term drinking, and he died tonight"
After hearing this, Li Tifu put away his unbelievable expression as if he suddenly realized, but he didn't seem to be very happy, or very happy, nor did he show great pessimism or pain.
He just said "I know" very calmly and didn't say anything else, and then went back to his house with a blank face.
For Li Tifu at this moment, Li Tifu has fantasized about this kind of result before, and he also longed for it when he was sad, but now Li Tifu did not perform so well after seeing such a result, just lying on his bed very quietly, looking up very quietly, as if it looked calm and natural.
After a long time, my eyes were still open, looking up. Maybe the current Li Tifu is thinking about the bits and pieces of the past.
Maybe the current Li Tifu is also a little reluctant to his father, maybe the current Li Tifu also has some remorse for his actions and thoughts!
But no one knows, only he knows best.
Li Tifu didn't sleep all night last night, just looked at the top and lay down without falling asleep.
After he entered his room, about an hour later, Li Tifu seemed to hear two or three people coming from the house, but Li Tifu didn't care, and after another ten minutes or so, he heard the sound of the door closing, and after that, he didn't hear any sound, and the peace and quiet of the night seemed to be restored again.
In the morning, Li Tifu got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, and washed his hands and face after he had no intention of defeting. Went to the kitchen to find a bag, trying to wake Bahar to her bedroom, the door was open and there was no one inside.
Li Tifu thought that she was in a separate room in the courtyard, and when she went to this house, she still didn't have it, and Wumaier, who was still lying in this room last night, was not there.
Li Tifu was not very anxious, did not appear to be very worried, but sat down on the small chair placed in the courtyard as calmly as always, and began to eat the bag brought from the kitchen.
Ahtamu came out. Li Tifu motioned for him to sit on the small chair next to him, and broke the bag in his hand and gave it to Aihetamu.
When the two of them had been sitting for almost an hour, Bahar came. Li Tifu got up unhurriedly, and wanted to ask where his mother had gone. Bahar said, "I'm coming, darlings."
Ahtamu saw Bahar running in front of her, and Bahar also crouched down and hugged Ahtamu. After the mother and son hugged deeply, they began to chat.
After chatting about them, Ahtamu asked, "Why didn't you see my father?" βγ
"Your dad... Well! Went on a business trip, baby, could be a few days late"
After Bahar said this, he looked at Li Tifu, and Li Tifu also looked at Bahar, and the two looked at each other for a while. Ahtam continued to ask, "Okay! What about you? Didn't you go on a business trip with your dad? βγ
Bahar's heart ached when he heard this, but he didn't show it, just said, "How can I go on a business trip without you!" β
"Then let's go too! Mom, take my brother with you."
"Okay, let's go back in a while! Can't bother your dad."
"Okay, it's a deal"
"A word is a certainty"
"I'm hungry! Baby, I'll make you some food, haven't you eaten your mother's cooking for a long time! β
"Yes!" Ahtamu raised his hand to signal, but Li Tifu did not answer, and looked at Bahar with an expressionless face.
"Let's go, I'll make something to eat for you," Bahar finished speaking, took Ahtamu's hand and walked to the inner room, Li Tifu did not go with him, but just stood in place and still looked at Bahar's distant figure.
"Let's go! Baby," Bahar turned to Leetifu and said, and Richford said "yes" when he heard it, and went into the back room.
Li Tifu and Ahtamu sat on the sofa in the living room, and Bahar cooked in the kitchen. Li Tifu sat and sat without knowing where the curiosity came from, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to the kitchen. Whispered to Bahar, "Where did you go last night?" Mom".
Bahar may be cooking while thinking about something else! Suddenly, Bahar broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ahh It's you! Why didn't you say a word and come in"
Li Tifu didn't speak, just waited for the answer to that question.
"Yesterday! I called the corpse washer," Bahar's voice was noticeably lower as he spoke.
"After they came over yesterday and washed your father's body, I called the burial person again, and finally settled your father, and I came back"
"That's right! I forgot to tell you that your father is buried in the Nostalgic Necropolis, and I'll take you there when I turn around" Bahar said this deliberately, wanting to see how Richford reacted.
As she expected, Li Tifu put on a little impatient and a little annoying expression and said, "Let's talk about this later!" Mom".
After Li Tifu finished saying this, he quickly added: "What kind of food did you cook!" βγ
Bahar smiled, as if the purpose had been achieved, and then said, "Make your favorite food, you'll know later, Bao, you go to the living room to rest for a while!" βγ
Li Tifu didn't speak, shook his head and went out. As Li Tifu expected, it was as if he knew the result and just wanted to be sure, and he didn't show great outburst or surprise! When I got to the living room, I joked with Ahtamu as if nothing had happened, and started playing.
After about ten minutes, Bahar came out with rice, and it was pilaf. Li Tifu usually likes to eat pilaf, especially mixed with cold dishes.
A few days later, Umaier's funeral was held at home, and a lot of people came, indeed a lot of people.
Li Tifu was very puzzled about why so many people came, in his impression that his father was the spokesperson for alcoholism, domestic violence, selfishness, and workaholism, so he didn't understand why so many people came to the funeral of such a selfish person, but Li Tifu didn't have too much to worry about this problem, Li Tifu felt that there was no need to be entangled in this kind of problem, this kind of quarrel had already been concluded in his cognition, so he didn't think it was necessary, and finally just came to a conclusion very casually "He may be a good person".
Waves of people came, Li Tifu was also very calm in front of him, he glanced at those he didn't know, and when he saw that he knew someone or said hello, or smiled slightly, he looked very good, and he couldn't see a little sadness, and he couldn't see a little heartfelt reaction.
Slowly, more and more people came, and Li Tifu began to feel a sense of guilt in his heart, as if he had done something wrong, and he didn't know why he had this psychological reaction, and this feeling of guilt became stronger and stronger later.
Li Tifu also thought of a lot of ways, trying to make himself think of something else! Let's go out for a walk!
But it just can't get rid of this feeling, and it gets stronger and stronger.
It was at this time that Li Tifu's attention was focused on Bahar, seeing her chatting with other guests, looking at her very calm, and the most important thing was that Li Tifu thought that his mother was not crying today,
Li Tifu has the impression that women should cry at the funeral, especially when their husbands die, shouldn't they cry?
Li Tifu thought so.
Thinking of this, Li Tifu's anxious and guilt-filled heart just now calmed down. Li Tifu also felt very strange and puzzled, and the sudden guilt and anxiety disappeared out of thin air.
I don't know what day it is, so many people will come to his house, but when I saw some children about my age coming, I took them by the hand and asked them to play games with him.
Obviously, the funeral is usually not patronized by children, and the parents who brought the children may not have anyone to watch the children at home, so they took the children's hands and brought them together.
The funeral was over, and the people who came to the funeral went home. When the family was left resting in the living room, Ahtamu asked, "Mom, what day is it?" β
"Today!" Bahar didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Today is, yes! Be... I'll take your wedding anniversary with you."
"Then why didn't Dad come and participate!"
"Have you forgotten? Baby! Didn't your dad go on a business trip? Can't come, your dad is very busy."
"Okay!"
Ahtamu didn't speak again, saying that he was tired today and went back to sleep.
