Double Life: My whole world is you
Chapter 659 Funeral
Hearing Cheng Qiao's words, Brother Jian squatted on the ground and trembled. With red eyes, he choked and said, "It's all my fault. You clearly reminded me to have a physical examination. But I was hoping for the best..."
Cheng Qiao looked at him in disbelief, "Brother Jian, you lied to me! Why?"
"I know you are a good candidate, and I do this to reassure you." He explained.
Cheng Qiao stood up with a wry smile, muttering to herself, "Yeah, how could my aunt cooperate with you? I thought it was too simple."
Cheng Qiao controlled her emotions in the living room before entering the room. Cheng's mother, the third aunt, and the eldest aunt were sitting by the bed and talking with her. The second aunt looked pale and skinny, but she was very calm. She listened quietly to the sisters' stories, nodding occasionally in response. When she looked up and saw Cheng Qiao standing by the door, she smiled and waved at her, saying softly, "Qiao, come here."
Cheng Qiao approached step by step, and Cheng Ma gave up her place beside the bed for her. Cheng Qiao looked at her nervously, she didn't dare to reach out her hand, she was afraid that her aunt would disappear like in a dream. She just looked at her, and her second aunt gently reached out her hand to her until she touched her hand. She felt the touch, Cheng Qiao held her hand tightly, and shouted in a lost voice, "Aunt."
"Qiao, don't be afraid." Second Aunt looked at her with a slight smile on her face, "No matter where I am, I will always love you."
Cheng Qiao could no longer hold back her tears...
Everyone stayed at my second aunt's house these days, except for going back to take a bath a few times. But my second aunt still passed away on the 12th. The last person she saw was my grandmother. She held my grandmother's hand. It should be my grandmother who held her hand. She couldn't eat anything for more than ten days, not even water. She didn't have any strength. She used her last strength to say the last four words to everyone, "Take care of yourself."
Second Aunt passed away, amidst everyone's crying. The repression of more than ten days broke out at this moment. Grandma and Sister Hong fainted from crying. Several sisters of Cheng Ma also cried around the bed, unwilling to leave for a long time. But Second Aunt passed away, and handling funerals is also a big deal. In the past ten days, Brother Jian seemed to have aged more than ten years. His fair face had been tanned several degrees, and beards had grown around his mouth. These days, he also learned to cook on the stove. He even learned to wash clothes in the pond.
Since there were no close relatives in the clan, and other relatives were not high-ranking either, he had to do many things himself. Fortunately, he had a group of capable brothers and sisters on his grandmother's side. Five days later, they were going to send his second aunt to the mountain. Cheng Qiao did not sleep that night. She sat beside her second aunt's coffin with Cheng Ma and the others all night. The next morning, they followed the car to the crematorium. She could no longer bear it and knelt on the ground, listening to Sister Hong's heartbreaking cry in front of her, "Mom, Mom. I don't have a mother anymore, I don't have a mother anymore..."
Cheng Qiao clenched her fist and punched the ground. She hated herself for not being careful enough and blamed herself for not being attentive enough. She knew the ending of her second aunt in her previous life, why did she just remind Brother Jian and not do anything else in this life? ! She had made money in the past two years, and she had money to take her second aunt to a physical examination! She could have prevented it in advance and changed it! She hated herself! ! She gritted her teeth and prepared to punch again, when a strong hand held her. He was also kneeling beside her wearing a white cloth, and Cheng Qiao, who was also wearing a white cloth, lowered her head and did not look at him.
But he still gently advised in the intervals between the sound of firecrackers, "Qiao, please accept my condolences. Auntie doesn't want to see you hurt yourself."
Cheng Qiao nodded, trying to control herself. An hour later, she followed the car back to her second aunt's home. Her second aunt's ashes were sent directly to the ancestral hall, and she followed the Taoist priest to chant sutras for half a day before finally sending her second aunt up the mountain.
Just as they were about to go to the ancestral grave, a branch of Jian Ge's clan with more than a dozen young men stopped them. They said the place next to my second uncle was a good place for feng shui. After my second uncle was buried, Jian Ge Kaoyan got a good job. They didn't want my second aunt to be buried there.
Brother Jian couldn't reason with them. He wasn't good at throwing tantrums, so he was eager to kneel down to the group of people. As relatives walking behind, they rushed over after hearing the noise. After learning the whole story, the two uncles stood in front and gathered everyone to prepare to fight with the group of people.
The group was still unwilling to compromise, so the uncle took out his cell phone and called several cousins in their clan, preparing to ask them to gather a hundred or so people in the bay, and specifically told them to bring tools. The group was frightened and gave way. The two uncles brought more than ten of their brothers and sisters to block the intersection, and the second aunt was buried smoothly. At this moment, Cheng Qiao deeply understood why Cheng Ma loved her natal family and her bay so much. Because in that era, as married girls, they had the confidence to have a strong natal family and a large, united and loyal bay. After all, if they had any problems, the brothers and sisters in their natal family and the bay would really fight for them.
After the burial, they had to burn paper money, houses, clothes and so on for the second aunt in the afternoon. It was really over only after all this was done. Cheng Qiao thought of her grandmother. She had fainted since the day the second aunt died, and her uncle sent her back to Wangjiawan. Only the eldest aunt was left to take care of her. After Cheng Qiao had a few words with Cheng Ma, they took Zhang Yandi's car to Wangjiawan. As close relatives, Cheng Ma and her family had to wait until the first seven days were over before leaving...
Zhang Yandi parked the car next to the elementary school and walked in with Cheng Qiao. At this time, grandma was still lying on the bed in the room where they usually slept, in my uncle's room. Her eyes were empty, and my aunt, with swollen eyes from crying, was trying to persuade her. When she saw Cheng Qiao and the others coming, she said in a hoarse voice, "Your grandma hasn't eaten for three days."
Cheng Qiao was very anxious and rushed to her grandmother, shouting loudly, "Grandma."
Cheng Qiao called out more than ten times before grandma came back to her senses. Her hollow eyes moved and she asked with difficulty, "Did you send your aunt up the mountain?"
Cheng Qiao nodded and held her hand tightly. "Grandma, nothing must happen to you. Otherwise, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
"Grandma lived too long, so she was not good to the younger generation." She looked calmly at the white wall opposite.
"Grandma, please! Please just hold on, okay?" Cheng Qiao knelt in front of her and cried, "In one year, I will take the college entrance examination. I will work hard to get into the best university. You can come to my graduation party and I will drink with you, okay? I also need to learn how to drive, so I can take you on a trip. When I grow up, get married and have children, you can see my children, okay? Grandma, please..."
