Chapter 108: Pinching Her Chin: "What's the Matter?" Why are you crying? ”
The old man's best friend was a friend he knew when he was young, and the two had worked together in the same unit for ten years, and then the best friend was transferred to other provinces because of the change in the nature of his work.
In the decades that followed, although it was difficult for the two old friends to see each other often, they exchanged letters indispensably.
Originally, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man also wanted to invite this friend to the imperial capital to spend the festival together, enjoy the moon, eat moon cakes, and drink chrysanthemum tea.
Talk about their plans to climb Wuyi Mountain together next year.
Who knows that things are impermanent.
He had a car accident, and in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man was destined to not be able to raise a glass to the moon with him.
When Jin Shenhan took Meng Luoning to the old mansion to pick up the old man, the old man couldn't hide his sadness, his eyes were bloodshot, like he hadn't slept all night, more like crying all night.
When I turned around and saw Meng Luoning, who was wearing a very regular pure black cheongsam for condolence, the old man still pretended to be strong and smiled at her gently: "Ningning, it's hard for you to go to other provinces with us." ”
Meng Luoning shook her head, walked up to the old man in a few steps, and whispered, "Grandpa, it's okay for me." ”
"Don't be sad, mourn and change."
It's a lie to say that I'm not sad, after all, I've been a good friend for decades.
Obviously, a while ago, the two of them made an appointment on the phone with a smile to come to the imperial capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival, eat moon cakes and drink chrysanthemum tea, but not long after making this call, they suddenly had a car accident and left, and everyone was a little caught off guard and had a heart attack.
The old man endured the sadness in his heart and nodded: "Thank you, Ningning." ”
"Let's get in the car with Shen Han?"
The old man said, first get into the black Audi car in front, Jin Shenhan reached out and took Meng Luoning's hand and took her to a black Mercedes-Benz car behind.
The rest of the bodyguards sat in another van.
The car door closed, Meng Luoning looked at the Audi in front of her through the window, her eyebrows faintly, and said, "Grandpa seems to have cried." ”
"For the first time, I saw my grandfather crying."
Jin Shenhan said with a deep sigh: "That friend has a good relationship with my grandfather, and he has worked together for more than ten years before, and he saved my grandfather because of an accident back then. ”
"The two are a lifelong friendship."
Therefore, it is often said that the world is impermanent.
That's true.
Someone who is smiling at you one moment, the next moment, he may be gone in a bad way.
Meng Luoning suddenly remembered that she was like this in her previous life...... A moment ago, I was happy to receive the trophy of the youngest actress in history on the star-studded podium.
As a result, the trophy was not hot in her arms, and the next moment, she was killed by Jin Tianfeng in the mud in the backyard.
She didn't even know what he was thinking about dragging her body in the middle of the night, sneaking into her house and leaving her in the mud in the backyard.
Maybe, to a certain point of scum, he can do anything vicious.
Fortunately, she received the mercy of God.
You can do it all over again.
She should be glad.
I'm glad that I'm alive, and I'm glad that I've caught up with the man I really love.
Rejoice...... She will be by his side for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Meng Luoning's nose was a little uncontrollably sour, and her eyes were a little foggy for a moment, but she didn't want to cry now, for fear that the man next to her would worry about her.
Trying to restrain the sadness, he turned his face to look out the window.
However, it was a little late, Jin Shenhan still saw it, reached out and gently pinched her chin, and let her look at his face: "What's wrong?" Why are you crying? ”
"Is it grandpa's business?"
Meng Luoning nodded, it's all there, grandpa, and when she thought of her own affairs, she felt sad: "Hmm." ”
"Don't worry, when the condolences are over, I'll take a while to come back to accompany him, and I won't be able to accompany you often at that time."
"You can be considerate of me."
Meng Luoning is not so squeamish, nor is she ignorant, when such a thing happens, it is naturally the grandfather's mood that is important: "I won't be angry, I'll come back with you to accompany grandpa?" ”
Jin Shenhan nodded gently, and stretched out his hand to hug the person into his arms: "Ningning, thank you for always being by my side." ”
"Don't say stupid things, I love you to accompany you." Meng Luoning leaned into his arms, his hands clenched his right hand tightly.
"Now taking care of grandpa's psychological emotions is the most important thing."
Jin Shenhan knew, hugging her tightly with one hand, his eyes were dark and deep.
The black Mercedes continued to follow the Audi in front of him at a rapid pace on the highway.
It took three hours to drive, and the three cars all arrived at Zhang's house in other provinces in less than a few minutes.
The Zhang family now lives in the urban area, but it is inconvenient to hold funerals in the urban area, so the Zhang family put the mourning hall on a self-built old house on the outskirts of their hometown.
After the old man and Jin Shenhan got out of the car, the Zhang family knew that they were from the imperial capital and were the best friends of the old man Zhang before his death, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, and had already arranged for the nephew who had just graduated from college to wait on the cement road in front of the old mansion.
Wait for the three of them to come over.
Uncle Zhang's nephew hurriedly came over to receive you: "Grandpa Jin, Mr. Jin, I am Uncle Zhang's nephew, my aunt asked me to receive you, please come with me." ”
The nephew said, and glanced at the old man, Jin Shenhan, and Meng Luoning beside him.
Subconsciously a little nervous, these wealthy families from the imperial capital have a really strong aura.
When he looked at it, he felt like he was interviewing in front of the top 500 bosses, which made people dare not squeak much.
The old man nodded at him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Take me to see your uncle." ”
The nephew hurriedly replied, "Okay, Grandpa Jin, please come with me." ”
The old man collected the sadness in his eyes, and took a step to follow the young man's steps into the mourning hall to mourn, followed by Jin Shenhan and Meng Luoning.
The three of them walked from the small courtyard of the self-built house to the living room together.
At this time, the living room was full of crying, and in the middle of the house was a coffin covered with a yellow cloth, and a small window was opened in front of the coffin to pay tribute to the guests.
Uncle Zhang's wife and children, dressed in white funeral clothes, stood by the coffin and wept bitterly.
The old man took a look at this scene, and thought that Old Man Zhang called him a while ago, and Lehaha said that he wanted to come to him to play and practice chess.
He said he had enrolled in a chess improvement class a few months ago.
He has already been able to beat the teacher of the chess class, and he is waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to come to him to learn from him.
to repay the 'disgrace' of his defeat before he was defeated.
He replied to him: "Come on, let's compete again, but don't be defeated by me again?" ”
He smiled: "How so? I admit that I lost to you when I was young, and now I have signed up for special training, and the thousands of dollars I lost to your chess class will be in vain. ”
He has been waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to come soon.
He can reunite with him for tea, chess, and moon viewing.
How...... Can he break his promise?
The more the old man thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and when he bowed his head to him, the corners of his eyes were full of tears.
After bowing three times, he walked to the front of the coffin, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the old man Zhang who was lying quietly in the coffin.
The old man's eyes turned red again, and he stretched out his hand to touch him, but finally held back: "Old man Zhang, you...... Always break your word. ”
"How many times have you fooled me when you were young? As a result, you are getting old and you want to trick me? ”
"How long can you fool me? When I go down...... I have to find you and ask clearly, why did you promise me something, but you didn't do it? ”
"You...... You...... You wait...... I'll be sure to ask you. ”
After the old man muttered in a low voice, the cloudy tears at the end of his eyes fell again, Meng Luoning saw it, and hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief from the bag he was carrying, and handed it to his grandfather: "Grandpa, don't be sad." ”
The old man lowered his head to hold back his tears, reached out for the handkerchief he had taken, pressed the tears in the corners of his eyes and said, "Well, it's okay." ”
"You and Shen Han should also go and bow."
After saying that, the old man put the handkerchief in his pocket and turned to see Uncle Zhang's family.
Aunt Zhang was also familiar with him, looking at the old man, she didn't want to cry, she wanted to talk to him well, but when the emotions came up, she couldn't hold back after all, covering her mouth and crying.
The old man pressed the corner of his eye and took out a thick envelope from his pocket, which contained 100,000 cash and a check for 1 million.
Now that the pillars of the Zhang family have fallen, he knows that their family will have a difficult time in the future.
"Shufen, the festival is smooth."
"This is a little bit of my heart, keep it."
Aunt Zhang nodded, but she didn't want this, and hurriedly said, "We are very grateful that you can come to see him, we can't ask for this." ”
The old man wouldn't take it away, and forcibly stuffed it into her hand: "Collect, this money is clean, my family is cold and does business." ”
"Just a piece of my heart."
"Moreover, I see that your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby this year, and the family has a lot of expenses, don't be polite to me."
"If you don't accept it, I won't treat you as old friends in the future."
Aunt Zhang couldn't refuse what the old man said for a while, so she could only keep saying thank you, and accepted this great favor from him with red eyes.
