Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Grandpa left, leaving unexpectedly.

He passed away peacefully in his sleep. He had just passed his 87th birthday, and his children and grandchildren were by his side. He was free from illness and disaster.

But for loved ones, it is irreparable loss and irreparable pain.

Yuan Dong is still in the United States and has not come back, saying that he will try his best to come back this year for New Year’s Day; Yuan Chun only came back to accompany his grandfather for less than a week during the summer vacation, and said that he brought his boyfriend back to show grandpa during the winter vacation; Chongyang called back to celebrate grandpa’s birthday on his birthday, He said that he would give grandpa a big gift when he came back from the winter vacation.

Yuan Xia knelt beside the bed, crying uncontrollably. On the grandpa's birthday, the two aunts were still telling him to marry a wife and have children quickly, and to let grandpa embrace his great-grandson early.

Grandpa said gently that he must find a considerate girl. He is so busy with work and needs a caring wife to take care of him.

Yuan Xia vaguely agreed, he was still thinking at the time that Yu Xingyi possesses both caring and understanding, except that he is not a girl.But what to do, it will definitely scare grandpa if he speaks out.

He regretted it very much, at least he should tell his grandfather that he had found such a person, even if he couldn't bring him to see him for the time being, it would still make his grandfather feel relieved.But it's too late to say anything now.

Everyone in the family cried together, including the nanny who had only worked in their house for less than a year. I envy her luck to meet such a good family.

Yu Xingyi was also so sad that he couldn't stop crying. He had never seen such a kind old man as his grandfather. His grandfather never treated him as an outsider, but always treated him like his own grandson. Seeing Yuan Xia marry a wife and have children as he wished.

He always thought about making up for it from somewhere else, but before he could do anything, Grandpa was already gone.This has also become his lifelong regret.

Yuan Qiu hugged her daughter and cried until she burst into tears. Last night when she had dinner and went upstairs, Qu Yuan wanted to play with the grandfather for a while. She thought it was time for Qu Yuan to go to bed, so she took her daughter away and said that she would come to see her again tomorrow. Uncle playing.Who knew it would be the last time?

In the end, Qu Wenyuan calmed down first, called his father, and asked how to deal with the funeral.

When Qu Junqing heard the phone call, he was startled. He celebrated the old man's birthday the day before yesterday and had dinner together. At that time, the old man was in good spirits, and he didn't see the slightest sign, so why did he leave so fast.

Qu Junqing told Qu Wenyuan not to panic, and quickly wiped and changed his grandfather's body while his body was still warm.He'll be right over here.

As soon as Qu Wenyuan reminded Yuan Xia, the elders in the family also calmed down, hurriedly wiped away their tears, and came to arrange for the old man's funeral.

Grandpa left suddenly, but the two aunts had already prepared for it. After all, the old man was old, and some things had to be prepared in advance.

Grandpa passed away in Yuecheng. According to the custom in the city, he was sent to the funeral parlor for cremation.But the two aunts insisted on taking the old man back for burial. The older generation pays attention to burial.

When grandpa was in good health, he mentioned his behind-the-scenes to the Yuanxia brothers and sisters. The old man hoped to return to his hometown to die, but he also knew that it was not realistic. After all, it is impossible for grandchildren to stay with him in his hometown for a long time. At the daughter's home, the grandson will not agree.

Grandpa doesn't have much obsession with cremation or burial, because Yuan Xia's father was cremated, and he thinks it's good and clean.

After discussing with the aunts, Yuan Xia still decided to have cremation.The weather is still very hot now, even if ice cubes can be used, they will probably rot when transported back, and the funeral at home will have to stop for several days. He doesn't want the last memory left by his grandpa to his children and grandchildren to be bad, and grandpa himself may not be too happy Yes, after all he is such a clean person.

Yu Xingyi called the teachers of Yuanchun and Chongyang, and asked them to pass on the news of his grandfather's death, so that the two of them could return quickly.

Yuanchun and Chongyang specially left this phone number, in order to avoid missing someone at home when there is an emergency.In fact, in their hearts, I am afraid that they are also worried about this day. They did not expect that this call will be really useful.

Yu Xingyi also made an international long-distance report to Yuan Dong who was on the other side of the ocean, and Yuan Dong cried so hard on the phone, asking why his grandfather didn't wait for him to come home.

Grandpa was cremated four days later, in order to wait for Yuan Dong, who had rushed back from the United States, to see him for the last time.

As soon as Yuan Xia and Yu Xing went to the airport to pick up Yuan Dong, when he got off the gangway of the plane, because of his impatience, he missed the step and rolled down the last few steps.It startled the two people waiting for him at the airport.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xing ran over and helped Yuan Dong up from the ground, Yuan Dong hugged his elder brother and cried like a child.

Yuan Xia felt that she had cried out all her tears these days, but now she started to cry like rain again, and the two brothers cried into tears.

Yu Xing's eyes turned red, and it took a while before he asked, "Does Dongdong still need to pick up the luggage?"

Yuan Dong stopped crying, and said: "No more, I brought some change of clothes back."

Yu Xingyi said: "Then let's go, the car is here." He knew that Yuan Dong was in a sad mood, so he specially asked an alumnus who worked at the airport to pick him up at the airport, but he didn't expect that it was the right thing to do. up.

Yuan Xia wiped away tears, looked at the bruises on his brother's face and arms: "Did you fall somewhere? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Yuan Dong shook his head, shedding a lot of tears: "No, I want to see grandpa."

As soon as Yu Xing drove, he took Yuan Dong to the funeral parlor to meet his grandfather.

On the way, Yuandong heard Yuanxia talk about the situation before his grandfather passed away. He burst into tears and was so choked up that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he sobbed and said: "I should come back during the summer vacation. Brother, I regret not coming back." , I thought grandpa could wait until I came back in winter. Why didn't grandpa wait for me?"

Yuan Xia put his arms around his shoulders and wept together with him.

Yuan Dong has been mischievous since he was a child, and has caused many troubles. When Yuan Xia knows about it, he will criticize him and even scold him. Many times, his grandfather will help him hide it.

After Yuan Dong went to the United States, every time grandpa missed him, he would recount the past events with Yuan Xia, and only then did Yuan Xia know that this brat had done so many unsavory things.

For Yuan Dong, these should be good memories, but the more good memories there are in the past, the more regrets there are now. After going abroad for so many years, I only came back once, and it would be a lifetime of separation. It became an untouchable pain in his heart.

Grandpa's cremation ceremony was held on the second day after Yuan Dong returned.Yuan Dong was so distraught that he held on to the coffin and refused to let him go in, and it took several people to carry him away.

After the cremation ceremony, the Yuan Xia brothers and sisters returned to their hometown with their grandfather's ashes. According to the traditional ceremony, they held a funeral for their grandfather and buried him next to their grandmother. You can see Yuan Xia's father's grave below.

People from all over the world came to see the excitement, and there were many criticisms, mainly blaming Yuan Xia for being unfilial, unexpectedly cremating his grandfather.In the traditional concept of Chinese people, cremation is an outrageous thing.

Yuan Xia naturally couldn't hear those gossips, and the aunts heard them, and they wouldn't spread them to his ears.Yuan Xia's filial piety to grandpa is not judged by others.

On the day of grandpa's burial, the brothers and sisters hadn't left yet.After dinner that day, everyone sat silently under the lamp, and it was Yuan Xia who broke the silence in the end. He pressed his voice and said, "Chun'er and Yang Yang will go back to school first. I have taken so many days off, and I have missed a lot of homework." , Go directly to school to attend class, no need to go home.”

Yuanchun and Chongyang nodded silently without speaking.

Yuan Xia said again: "Xiao Qiu and Wen Yuan should go back tomorrow, they both have to go to work. Xing Yi will go back first."

Yu Xingyi looked at him: "What about you?"

Yuan Xia said: "According to the custom, I have to stay for a few days to deal with the funeral. If there is anything wrong with the company, you can go back and help me deal with it. We can't be alone."

Yu Xingyi nodded and agreed.

Yuan Xia looked at Yuan Dong who was sitting beside him with his head down all the time: "Dongdong, when are you going back to America?"

Yuan Dong was dragged out of his own thoughts, he raised his head, glanced at everyone, then set his eyes on Yuan Xia's face, and said in a murmur, "I don't want to go back."

Yuan Xia frowned: "What are you talking about childishly, the work in the United States has not been arranged, why didn't you go back? How long have you taken leave?"

Yuan Dong lowered his eyes: "The boss told me to deal with the family affairs before going."

Yuan Xia said: "The family affairs are almost handled, so you are ready to go back."

Yuan Dong put his hands over his eyes: "I don't want to go back, I think of my grandfather waiting for me for so many years, I only came back once, I feel sorry for him. I want to spend more time with him."

He choked up after speaking.

Yuan Xia put his hands on his back, and said gently: "Grandpa must know that you came back to see him, just remember Grandpa in your heart from now on. He is so proud of you, you can't do things halfway, let him The old man is ashamed."

Yuan Dong bit his lower lip and nodded, couldn't help crying again, tears rolled down from his hands, dripped on the ground, and wet the ground.

As soon as he cried, the eye circles of the others turned red again.

Yuan Xia suppressed the sadness in his heart and said: "Okay. Don't be like this anymore. Although Grandpa is gone, he has not left us, and still lives in our hearts. He put all his energy on us, I hope we are all promising and living well, and I certainly hope that we will live better and better in the future."

The next day, Yu Xingyi and Yuan Qiu left, only Yuan Xia and Yuan Dong stayed behind.

Yuan Xia persuaded Yuan Dong to go back earlier, but Yuan Dong refused, so Yuan Xia had no choice but to stop forcing, and maybe stay a few more days to ease his guilt.

After finishing the work, before leaving, Yuan Xia went to the village chief's house to talk about building a small village.

When he came back this time, he heard that several elementary school classrooms in the neighboring village were washed away during the summer rainstorm. Now the children are borrowing the villagers' houses for class, and he plans to solve this problem.

He has helped build schools for children in Xinjiang, and it makes no sense not to build a school for children in his hometown.

When she came back, the eldest aunt had finished the meal, and when she ordered to eat, she didn't see Yuan Dong's figure.

Yuan Xia had no choice but to go out to find Yuan Dong, and finally climbed a hill, and finally found Yuan Dong sitting on the grave of his grandfather in his family's ancestral grave.

Yuan Xia sighed: "Why are you here again? It's time for lunch."

Yuan Dong raised his head, his eyes were red: "Brother, do you think people have souls?"

Yuan Xia was stunned, and after a while said slowly: "Yes."

Yuan Dong didn't notice how sure his tone was, and continued: "Where will the soul go after that person dies?"

"It should be reincarnated."

"Will Grandpa still remember us?"

Yuan Xia thought for a while: "Maybe I won't remember it. But I don't think it matters. Grandpa has been kind to others all his life and educated his grandchildren so well. If he is reincarnated, he will definitely go to a good family and have no worries about food and clothing in his next life. We want What I do is to live my own life well and do more meaningful things, so as to live up to the kindness he has given us in nurturing us.”

Yuan Dong nodded, stood up, and respectfully kowtowed three times in front of his grandfather's grave: "Grandpa, I'm leaving, and I'll come to see you later. Don't worry, I will definitely be someone who makes you proud. Goodbye, Grandpa!"
