Chapter 11: A Special Lunch
After the two of them packed up, Uncle Da said to me and Chen Dake: "In the afternoon, you will have a holiday, it is estimated that we will come back later, this is also a morning off, Wang Zhaozhao should also be busy, by the way, tell him that tomorrow the three of you will come to your respective jobs on time to report." As for Da Chuan...... Uncle Da hesitated, but still said decisively: "You will help me first, if there is anything you can do, I will give you orders." Lao Xiao is fine, I'll go through the entry procedures for you again. ”
The two of us agreed, because the news we just learned made the two of us a little unable to turn around, so I was a little numb to such a good news that I didn't have to work, in fact, in my heart, I really wanted to go with them, but unfortunately my level was not enough, so it was the only way.
My father said to me again: "I'm fine, it's not okay, the commander is going to see me in advance, which means that my matter can be solved immediately." Your entry is a matter of two or three days, don't worry, I will call you as soon as I come back, so that you and your mother can rest assured as soon as possible. By the way, let's send your mother home first, do you two want to go together?"
Hearing this, I just replied lightly: "No need, let's go, let's go out to eat something together after work, and then go to the practice room to do today's training." ”
"Okay, then you guys are not allowed to cause trouble, remember to lock the door for me when you leave, and remember not to be late tomorrow. After that, Uncle Da and my parents left. Chen Dake took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, there were only ten minutes left before the lunch break, the two of us locked the door, and walked straight to the logistics office where Wang Zhaozhao was without a moment's delay. After work, the three of us left Wudetang.
The three of us walked aimlessly down the street, each thinking about our own business. Suddenly, I seemed to remember something, and immediately asked the two of them, "What time is it today?"
Chen Dakemu replied dumbfoundedly: "No. 12, what's wrong?"
Sure enough, I almost forgot about my father's business. Wait a minute, you can help me prepare something, let's have a barbecue at noon today, I'll go buy meat, as well as dipping sauce and soda, and you two will look at the rest of what is missing. ”
When I said this, the two of them immediately reacted, and Wang Zhaozhao preemptively said: "Okay, I'll leave the rest to the two of us, it just so happens that I have a baking pot at home, let me clean it up a few days ago, it's very clean and can be used when you take it out." ”
Just when the three of us were leaving, I vaguely heard Chen Dake say to Wang Zhao: "You said how many years have passed here, why can't we Brother Chuan forget it?"
Wang Zhaozhao's voice was very low, but he could still hear it faintly: "No way, no one can forget it, it is estimated that only the kind of unsympathetic person can really do it, born and happy to die and leave, our brother Chuan is such a person who values love and righteousness, I want him not to do this, unless ......" The two of them walked at a faster pace, and the voice of the conversation gradually disappeared, and even I didn't listen to Wang Zhao's words completely.
Also, it's been a few years, and I can't forget it, and sometimes I still dream about it, this is my real nightmare. I waved my hand and hailed a taxi, the reason why I didn't drive myself was because I was afraid that the images that kept flashing in my head would disturb my concentration, and I do this on this day every year, and the two of them will try their best to cooperate.
I got into a taxi again with the meat and soda I had bought, and when I told the driver where I was going, he looked at me like an alien. In the end, I could only reluctantly ask: "Are you working in the cemetery?"
For such a question, I have to answer it once a year, and I used to feel embarrassed, but now I have practiced it a long time ago, and I don't feel embarrassed at all, so I smiled and said to the driver: "I don't work at the cemetery, I'm going to see a friend, and today is her birthday." ”
"You seem to have such a good relationship, what kind of work does your friend do in the cemetery? sales or handicrafts? It really scared me just now, I thought you were carrying these things to sweep the grave, after all, no one will take raw things to sweep the grave, so don't blame me." "It seems that this driver master also misunderstood what I meant, he was right, I really went to sweep the grave, but the form was a little different. I briefly prevaricated a few words about his question, and then stopped talking.
When they arrived at the cemetery, Chen Dake and Wang Zhaozhao had already arrived, chatting with a friend in charge of the cemetery. Seeing me coming, the three of them greeted me, and Chen Dake said with a smile: "Every time, you are the slowest, the place has been arranged, and you are waiting for your things." ”
I smiled apologetically: "There was a delay on the way, sorry sorry, let's go in." He turned his head to look at the friend who was in charge of the cemetery and said, "I bought a lot, so you can come with me." ”
"No, no, we'll have a working meal here later, you can go, I won't bother. Remember to clean up after eating, and the old man in charge of hygiene, don't forget to give him some benefits, otherwise he will have to talk to me endlessly. The friend excused himself.
Seeing that he didn't come, we didn't be polite, and the three of us walked straight in. This is the first year, and it took a lot of money to agree to our annual barbecue.
For the environment here, a few of us can be said to be very familiar, and we didn't have to take a long detour to come to the exact point. It's really like the two of them said, this place has been laid out by the two of them. Putting down what he was holding, he said to the two of them, "You two prepare your things, and the fire in the pot is lit, and I won't be busy with you, and I will whisper a few words to her." Hey, hey, hey......"
"If we don't do it, who can do it, our brothers and sons are working hard. Wang Zhaozhao complained.
And Chen Dake on the side was very open-minded, and said jokingly: "Okay, so much nonsense, I don't let you do this work every day, besides, we don't suffer a loss, what else is there to complain about." As he spoke, the two of them began to move.
Looking at the busy figures of the two of them, I feel extremely proud, and it is such an honor to have such two good brothers in this life. They're busy with theirs, I'll mine. Squatting in front of the tombstone, he took out a small towel from his backpack and carefully wiped the photo and name on the tombstone.
The person lying here is called Zuo Duyu, is my girlfriend, the two of us are junior high school classmates, in our class, she is the top class flower, and it took me a lot of effort to catch up. It's just that because of an accident, I left me and left this wonderful world.
People who can be called class flowers are naturally outstanding in appearance and beautiful in the country. She has the face of a typical Chinese beauty, the face of melon seeds is like a boiled egg just out of the pot, and the shell is peeled open to reveal the white and tender skin inside. The long eyebrows are like willow leaves in a midsummer evening, and they hang thickly on the big eyes of the watery spirit. Under the slightly straight nose, two thin lips are pink and tender. When he speaks, he is more crisp like a silver bell, and his tall figure controls his temperament just right. The first time I saw her, I was fascinated by her.
When I had replaced all the offerings and bouquets in front of the grave, I sat across from her and looked at her so infatuatedly that I could see all her speech and demeanor even though it was just a photograph.
Looking at it, my face seemed to turn a little red, because I felt a burning sensation, lowered my head and smiled innocently, and began to say to her: "Today is your birthday, I haven't forgotten! No, a few of us are here to accompany you again." Every year I remember it clearly, and if it wasn't for something particularly important, I wouldn't have delayed. If you look at me now, is it different from last year? I don't dwell on why you left me suddenly, and I don't lock myself in cold sadness. Do you know how hard it was for me to come out? Listen to me tell you, I actually knew the state I was in at that time, and I knew that it was not going to work, I knew that I should cheer up, but I really couldn't do it at that time. It's like being stuck in a swamp, and you can't pull yourself out at all, and the feeling of forcing yourself to cheer up is really worse than death. There were a few times when I almost went looking for you. I can't get the way to commit suicide, I can't do anything to myself, I can only expect an accident, at that time I have made a will, when the accident comes, the four old people will continue to live the rest of their lives with generous compensation, maybe they will not be so happy, but after all, it is a period of food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and I will be relieved to have such a perfect sad ending. But later, I thought that my parents still need me to take care of them, and your parents also need me to take care of them, although they don't need them now, but they will use me one day. I've given up on suicide, so you don't have to worry about me, because I still have such an important task to complete. I've also learned that everything will pass as long as you survive that period of collapse, and the only thing you can't forget is you. ”
As he spoke, he opened a can of soda, took a sip to relieve the thirst in his mouth, and continued to say to the photo on the tombstone: "During that time, I closed myself off, and I couldn't listen to what my parents said, and I didn't even dare to answer the phone calls between Chen Dake and Wang Zhaozhao. Not to mention phone messages, I didn't dare to reply to their messages, I became a monster during that time, I was afraid that I couldn't control my emotions, I was afraid that what they said unintentionally would make me sad, and I was even more afraid that they would inadvertently say your name. Since you and I meet and fall in love in this life, we have to part. The poem begins with you and ends with you like a passerby. I don't know who said these two sentences, but they have been lingering in my mind since then. Even though I have so many people to talk to, I can't talk to them about it. ”
Just as I was saying such sensual words with sincerity, my phone rang in a particularly bad way. I took it out and saw that it was my father's phone, and I took a deep breath to relieve the choked voice: "Hey, old man, why did you call me so early?
The voice of the old man on the other end of the phone obviously hesitated: "I'm afraid not, I and your Uncle Da will be able to arrive at the Punishment Division at six o'clock, and the three of you will come too, there are some things I want to tell you." Oh, by the way, don't tell your mother just yet, after leaving the Punishment Division, if she asks, it's not too late for you to say it. ”
