92 sad

Meng Qingqing cried all the way to the mortuary, completely ignoring all kinds of curious eyes of people on the road, only the sadness of losing her grandma in her heart. .しw0.

When she saw the word mortuary before, she felt a chill rushing towards her face, and she avoided it from a distance, but now, her dear grandma was lying in it, and Meng Qingqing didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. Some are just sad.

The hospital had already called the funeral home to pull them in. Meng Qingqing and Meng Zijun, father and daughter, held the old lady's hand in silence in the mortuary.

Meng Qingqing felt her grandma's temperature disappear little by little, that is to say, her grandma was gradually leaving her. This kind of sadness and helplessness was exactly the same as in her previous life. She was reborn, but she couldn't change grandma's fate, so grandma left anyway.

Half an hour later, people from the funeral home came to pull people away.

The funeral home took out a form and signed it for Meng Zijun, who signed it almost without reading the content.

Meng Zijun and Meng Qingqing watched helplessly as the old lady was put into a bag by the undertaker and carried onto the car. They also took grandma's car to the funeral home.

The funeral home saw that Meng Zijun and his daughter didn’t know what to do except they were sad. A man in his forties reminded him: “The next thing you need to do is to set a time for cremation. The last meeting of a family member or friend? So now you go and inform all the relatives and friends of the old lady before she was alive to come and meet for the last time.

Meng Qingqing asked: Father, do you want to inform Uncle and them?

Meng Zijun shook his head, What are you telling them for? Your grandma was so mad at them. They must be noisy again when they come. Your grandma will definitely not want to see them again. Let her go quietly!

Dad, I want to buy clothes for grandma.

Meng Zijun was shocked, Qingqing, this morning, when I went to the street with your grandma, she actually said that she wanted to buy a set of old clothes. I was still surprised at the time. When she asked why she bought such clothes, she said that she was old Everyone should be ready. Anyway, sooner or later, so I took her to buy a set.

Meng Qingqing was surprised when she heard that, as if grandma knew she was leaving, she prepared a set of old clothes for herself.

Then let's go home and get it. I heard that after a long time, we won't be able to wear it.

Meng Qingqing hurried home by taxi with her father. The clothes her grandma bought for herself were a set of ancient clothes.

Bright red, dragon and phoenix are auspicious, satin fabric, and a pair of embroidered shoes of the same color. Meng Qingqing flipped through two new sets of everyday wear. I rushed to the funeral home with my dad, and the staff at the funeral home said they would have someone dress and make up for the old lady.

When Meng Qingqing and her father came out of the funeral home. It was already dark, and the wind was howling near the funeral parlor. The taxi driver was the one he took when he came, and he agreed to pay him three times the usual price. He didn't speak all the way, and when the car drove to the downtown area, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a sigh of relief and said: If you give me ten times the price in the future, I won't go to the funeral home after dark.

Only then did Meng Qingqing realize that she was not afraid at all, but before, she would avoid places like funeral parlors.

After returning home, Meng Zijun and Meng Qingqing sat on the sofa blankly, without speaking or moving. Without grandma, the house suddenly seemed empty, and the hearts of the two of them were more than half empty.

After sitting for a while, Meng Qingqing realized that she and her father hadn't eaten dinner yet. Meng Qingqing didn't want to eat at all, but she still went to the kitchen to check. Grandma had already prepared dinner, and she might be waiting for Meng Qingqing to come home for dinner. Mencius Ming and Mencius came, and then such a tragedy happened.

With tears in her eyes, Meng Qingqing heated up the dishes and asked her father to eat.

Meng Zijun shook his head, I don't want to eat.

Dad, no matter what, you should take good care of your body. Grandma doesn't want you to break down because of her. This is the dish made by grandma this afternoon. Let's have the last meal of grandma's dish!

After listening to his daughter's words, Meng Zijun walked to the dining table, looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help crying again.

Meng Qingqing added a bowl of rice to her father and brought him some vegetables.

Dad, tell me, did grandma have a premonition, why did she suddenly want to buy that old suit when she went shopping with you in the morning?

Meng Zijun looked sad, Yes! What a coincidence, she got a haircut today and bought a set of clothes like that. Many elderly people have prepared such clothes for themselves in advance, so I didn't feel anything at the time. .”

Dad, grandma came into my room last night. She said that she felt it was worth having a son like you and a granddaughter like me in her life.

Meng Qingqing wiped away tears.

Grandma also said that she was sorry for you in this life, but she felt very relieved that she could cut a kidney for you and let you live well. She also said that she came here with you and saw things that she had never seen before. , She has eaten what she has never eaten before, she is worth it in her life.

Meng Zijun said with red eyes: Today I accompanied her to the street, and I also said that when I get better, I will take her to travel far away. She has never been on a boat or plane, and I will take her there. Sit down... Meng Zijun couldn't continue.

The father and daughter reluctantly ate their meals, talking about what grandma usually said, recalling the good times the three of them had spent together during this period of time. After Meng Zijun's kidney transplant, his body was getting better day by day. The three of them were together, and he hadn't had time to honor his mother properly, why did she leave so suddenly? Even the last meal before she left was prepared for them, and she didn't even have time to take a bite.

After barely eating a little food, Meng Qingqing tidied up and sat on the sofa next to her father, snuggling up to her father.

The old lady left, and the father and daughter had a feeling of being dependent on each other. They just sat on the sofa until dawn, without closing their eyes.

Meng Zijun still decided not to tell his brothers and sisters, he didn't want his mother to be quarreled by them again.

Ling Yunfeng called Meng Qingqing to tell him about today's outing, and Meng Qingqing told him that something happened to his grandma.

Meng Zijun also made an appointment to have tea with Lao Yu, so he also told Lao Yu about the accident at home.

Meng Qingqing made some porridge and fried eggs. The father and daughter barely ate breakfast, and went to the street to buy some Ming coins and firecrackers to go to the funeral parlor. Grandma was pissed to death by her unfilial children, so she performed a ritual ceremony to let her go away with peace of mind. (To be continued.)
