System: Card drawing in progress

Shang Huayang brought back the funeral items in a backpack. Half of his clothes were wet, not to mention his shoes, which were soaked with water.

Shang Huachuan and Shang Huaxin were also a little embarrassed. When they got home, they first gave the things to the adults to count. After making sure that there were enough, they went to take a shower.

After taking a hot shower, I felt alive again and changed into clean clothes.

"how's it going?"

When Shang Huayang came out, he saw Shang Huachuan had changed his clothes and was sitting obediently on the sofa, listening to the adults talking.

"We have found a funeral home, but we are still discussing the cemetery. Grandma's body will be taken to the funeral home. We will stay there overnight, and when the staff arrive tomorrow, they will cremate her. Then we will collect her remains and bury her in the cemetery."

He took an apple from the fruit bowl on the table, took a bite, and nudged Shang Huachuan with his arm:

"Brother, you see, people can't even rest in peace after death now, and they have to spend money to buy a small piece of land, which is almost as much as the price of a living house. If things continue like this, who would dare to die? Well, shall we keep watch tonight?"

According to their old custom, after an old person dies, the body has to be kept at home, usually for three days, but sometimes for as long as seven days, and someone has to burn paper money at night.

People are also invited to attend funerals, which means giving gifts and having meals, which is part of the social interaction for the guests.

It's winter now, so there won't be a smell of corpses like in the summer. It's just that it's Chinese New Year, so it's not convenient to invite other distant relatives and friends.

It was just a family meal and some funeral arrangements.

Shang Huachuan rolled his eyes at him:

"Yes, wasn't it my uncle's family who watched it last night? Today it's our turn."

After Shang Huayang heard what Shang Huachuan said, he felt that the apple in his hand was no longer sweet and delicious:

"My parents didn't sleep last night, and I heard their suppressed crying. When I woke up today, I saw that their eyes were swollen. They have to stay up late again tonight. Can they handle it?"

Everyone in the family is very filial and we have a good relationship. They will come back whenever they have time during the holidays. My grandfather passed away a few years ago, and so did my grandmother this time. Although we only see them a few times every year, my grandmother is actually very good to them.

They should be sad, and they have already been sad. People always have to look back, but it seems that their parents are not like that.

"We can keep watch, the two of us can do it, and then let parents go to sleep in the room!"

Although they look young, they are actually 18 years old, adults, and have awakened special powers called Yin-Yang Eyes. Yes, the twins have awakened the same special power.

Since awakening, I haven't seen any effect.

Shang Huayang had read quite a few novels, and the ability of Yin-Yang Eyes mostly appeared in horror novels, so he had also heard of it. On the day of awakening, he took his brother to an apartment where a murder had occurred and used his special ability, but unfortunately, he saw nothing.

Shang Huayang was disappointed for a long time, thinking that he must have guessed wrong and the names were just similar.

As a result, until today, I still haven't discovered the use of my superpowers, which is almost the same as not having awakened my superpowers.

There are unlucky people like them nowadays. There may not be many people who have awakened their superpowers in a city, but there are many people who have awakened their superpowers all over the world.

Every year new superpowers are discovered and awakened, and of course there are also rubbish superpowers. People can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Even Shang Huayang had given up, but he didn't give up and dragged Shang Huachuan to several places, including cemeteries, graveyards, houses where people had died, and scenes where murders had occurred...

Both left their footprints.

Now, he has given up completely. It is useless to go to a special university. Shang Huachuan has asked many teachers, but they all said there is no way. He also called the university teacher to ask, but there was no good news.

The two of them were ready to go to an ordinary university, graduate normally, and live an ordinary life, just as if awakening their superpowers was a dream.

At night, the parents of Shang Huachuan and Shang Huayang still insisted on coming together. The people at the funeral home prepared two rooms for them so that they could go in and rest in case they couldn't hold on.

The door of the side hall was closed and the air conditioner was not on. Even if it was on, it would probably blow cold air and the chill would rush towards people. Fortunately, there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which also blocked the cold wind. After closing the door, the temperature rose a little.

The two had foresight and were fully prepared, wearing thick down jackets, scarves, gloves, and anti-freeze earmuffs.

The coffin was placed in a side hall, with a large portrait on it. The grandmother's hair had turned completely white, and her face had many wrinkles, but she was smiling. She was wearing new clothes that her mother bought for her, and looked very happy.

The black and white photo shows a bit of loneliness. There are many wreaths placed next to it, and there is a brazier in front of the coffin where they are going to burn paper.

Looking at my parents who were in low spirits, their faces showed unconcealed fatigue and sadness, their eyes were still swollen, and every time I looked at their portrait, tears welled up in my eyes.

Maybe I've been crying for too long, and I can hardly cry anymore.

The two looked at each other, sighed, and remained silent. They knew that if they were advised at this time, they would not agree.

Squatting down to burn paper money, watching the paper being lit, the flames light up, and when you get close you can feel a little warmth, and finally it turns into spots of light, disappears completely, and becomes gray paper ash. When the next piece of paper money is put in, it becomes bright again, and this cycle repeats over and over again.

After squatting for a long time, my feet became numb. I stood up and shook my legs and feet, and then I felt better.

I saw my parents dozing off. They hadn’t slept for almost three days and finally they couldn’t hold on any longer.

Shang Huayang pushed Shang Huachuan's arm, and when he saw him looking at him, he nodded his chin towards his parents. Shang Huachuan turned his head with understanding and saw this scene.

The two of them nodded their heads, and under the light, he saw a few white hairs on their hair. Normally, his mother loved beauty the most, and kept everything clean and spotless. When she found white hairs, she would ask his father to help pull them out. Now, those white hairs were popping up like bamboo shoots after rain.

It wasn't just one or two, but a small handful, but his mother didn't pay much attention to it. The death of her grandmother must have been a big blow to her.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good. Grandma treats my mother almost as her own daughter. In return, my mother is also very filial to grandma.

The same goes for my dad. His beard, which usually shaved clean, has now grown some stubble, but he doesn't seem to notice.

Gently pushing the two of them, Shang Huachuan said softly:

"Dad, Mom, you're tired, go get some sleep first. My brother and I are watching over you here. It's okay. It's freezing here, it's not a good place to sleep. If you get sick, what will my brother and I do?"

His parents are not stubborn people. They just do this because they are too sad. The dead are gone, and they should think more about the living. They also care about their two children, but they have indeed neglected them in the past few days.
