Miss White Rose

"Xiao Yan is almost [-] this year, are you talking about a girlfriend?"

"No, it's not in a hurry."

"Then you have to hurry up. I heard from them that there are many beautiful girls in your university. You have to catch them. Girls in school are the best to coax, but they are not so innocent when they enter the society." gone."

"Hahaha, I didn't want to look for it in the school. Think about it, old man. If you talk about someone from the same school, you have to take her to dinner and buy her flowers. This festival and that festival...it will cost a lot of money." , It’s better to talk about the local area, just send a message or make a phone call, and if there’s nothing wrong, I can ask her to help my mother..."

"That's different. Listen to my uncle. Our locals are good, but we are still not as good as those only children in the city. If you marry her home, don't her parents' house and car all belong to you? You have to struggle less." How many years!"

"Hey, why are you saying the same thing as my father!"

"Hey hey, why don't you say you're still young, think back when your father and I were hanging out together, you were still in your father's house..."

The topic gradually became obscene.

……

Perhaps it was due to her mental preparation after being angered by her father yesterday, or perhaps Xu Xingyan's all-round psychological counseling played a role last night. Anyway, when she heard this conversation, Lin Shengmiao was calm and unafraid to see through the world of mortals. One is her half-brother, oh, what the hell, destroy it!

Throwing the filial piety basin is one of the most important ceremonies in local funerals. It is said that this basin refers to the basin used by the deceased to eat when he was alive. It is taken to the underworld for further use, so the more broken it is, the better. The more broken it is, the more complete it will be underneath.

But no matter what kind of statement it is, one thing is certain, the person who can take the place of the deceased must be the eldest son and grandson of the family.

Lin Yuan has always been able to push things away, even throwing basins at his own mother, all of which are left to his son, while he himself hides in the crowd to relax.

To be fair, Lin Yan's appearance follows his father's, regardless of his internal cultivation, he is only dressed in white, and he looks like a filial son standing upright in front of the coffin. Next, Lin Yan raised the pottery pot that had burnt incense paper money above his head, and threw it to the ground with great force, and it instantly shattered...

The uncle next to him blew his suona in response, and the coffin bearers yelled in unison, carrying the coffin and walking slowly towards the selected location, and one person in front threw yellow paper to clear the way.

It is said that there are different customs in ten miles. Nancheng and Luyang County are far apart, and the customs of funerals are also very different. Nancheng practiced cremation decades ago, but Luyang County is different. In ancient times, the feeling of treating death as life, felt that cremation was too cruel, and even the whole body was not left, so the burial system was still implemented.

Xu Xingyan participated in this type of funeral for the first time, and she didn't know what was taboo, so she didn't dare to run around, so she followed Lin Shengmiao in a quiet place in the line, and Lin Xin, who was supposed to cry in the front row, also Standing with them, I turned a deaf ear to the voices of those three aunts and six wives talking and accusing, and there was no sadness in my eyes. If I had to say something, there was only a trace of indifference.

Xu Xingyan took a peek at her, remembering the news that A Jin and the others were asked to inquire about yesterday——

According to the elders in the village, Lin Xin actually has an older sister named Lin Su, who is beautiful, hardworking, and a good girl praised by everyone in the neighborhood.

It's just that she has been reluctant to discuss marriage, and the family became suspicious. Seeing that she had to send several letters to the provincial capital every month, they thought that she had a lover in private, so they intercepted her letters secretly, and ended up stabbing her at once. I entered the hornet's nest, because, on the other side of the letter, there was also a girl.

Then there was a burst of chaos, with beatings, insults and struggles going on at the same time. The family had no peace for a day, and finally the whole village knew about it.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin felt ashamed, so they hurriedly arranged a marriage for her, locked her at home, cut off all contact with the outside world, and that staunch girl, after many failed attempts to escape, died on the eve of her wedding. , hanged himself in despair.

After Lin Su's lover didn't receive any letters for many days, she had a bad intuition, and brought a few people to find her overnight. It was better to hurry or be late. Later, I heard that the girl was in a trance, and she left after a while. In a car accident, he died in a coma.

At that time, Lin Xin was working out of town. When she heard the news and rushed back, her sister, who was originally lively, had turned into a pale yellow new soil in the wilderness. She couldn't accept it at all. For a while, she refused to admit that her sister committed suicide. She even put a kitchen knife on Lin Yuan's neck to force Grandpa Lin to call the police. Anyone who dared to spread Lin Su's gossip was attacked by her, and was almost sent to a mental hospital...

……

Thinking about this, the line gradually stopped, and the old man in front of him shouted from time to time, which should be some words of farewell to the deceased, but the old man's accent was too serious, and there was a strange singing tune, which made him solemn , Xu Xingyan couldn't understand a word.

"Are you tired?" Noticing her distraction, Lin Shengmiao supported her and asked softly.

"No," Xu Xingyan shook her head, and suddenly found that Lin Xin, who was here just now, was nowhere to be found, and asked, "Hey, where's my sister?"

Lin Shengmiao pointed to the distance, "It's over there, I'm going to see my aunt."

Xu Xingyan followed the prestige, and saw that Lin Xin had already left the team, standing in a remote, deep grass, staring at an old tombstone silently for a long time.

The oppressive and gloomy air in his body, just looking at it from a distance, already has a feeling of heartbreak and grief.

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Shengmiao said, "My aunt and sister are twins, and they have a very good relationship, but... my aunt passed away very early."

"Twins?!" Ah Jin missed this point when he came back from inquiring, and it was the first time Xu Xingyan heard of it.

She felt more and more sorry for Lin Xin, how heartbreaking it was!What are twins?People who have accompanied each other since before they came into the world, shared a warm womb, shared milk, grew up together, and explored the world together... This is not just the loss of a sister, but the half of one's own body, It is to peel off the flesh and blood, and forcibly dig out the other half of oneself, the pain of bone erosion is nothing like this.

……

Lin Xin gently wiped off the dust accumulated on the tombstone, and traced Lin Su's name over and over again with his fingers until they were frozen stiff by the cold stone.

"...Mom is gone too." Lin Xin took a deep breath and said softly, "Her last days were not happy, and of course, they were certainly not as bitter as yours."

"In the next life, keep your eyes bright before reincarnation, or...be my daughter."

……

During the meal, Lin Shengmiao's primary school classmate Zheng Xing happened to be sitting next to him. Xu Xingyan listened to their chat with great interest while grilling shrimp.

Zheng Xing took a sip of white wine, and asked with a smile, "Do you still remember Baldy Li? The one who used to dislike us and always made us stand and copy. At that time, I swore that, I will definitely be a teacher in the future, how he tormented me today, I will toss his son in the future."

"Hey, guess what?" Zheng Xing chewed peanuts and said cheerfully, "In the first year I became a primary school teacher, his son really came! Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Lin Shengmiao thought for a while before pulling out these old events from the corner of her memory. To be honest, among the malice she experienced in her life, this event was really insignificant.

So she smiled and said casually, "Fate is wonderful."

"Yeah..." Zheng Xing was full of emotion: "In those years, I hated him so much that I thought of ten thousand ways to get revenge on him, but God really gave me the opportunity, so I felt boring Really, wife and children, job title, which one is not more important than these?"

"When did you get married?" Lin Shengmiao asked as she put a peeled shrimp into Xu Xingyan's bowl.

"That's too early. My eldest daughter is five years old, and my son is three years old. Xiao Miao, it's not that I'm a young person who is not authentic. I want to send you a wedding post, but it's life and death I can't find you!"

Judging from this time, Lin Shengmiao was still studying abroad at that time, and... After she left with Pei Wei and his wife, the contact with this place was cut off one after another.

Lin Shengmiao accepted the punishment with a cup, drank the white wine in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's my fault. I'll make up for you for the three times later!"

Zheng Xing shook his head, stretched out four fingers, and said with a bit of embarrassment in his tone, "Four times!"

"Isn't this the opening of the three-child policy? My daughter-in-law is pregnant with another child. This time, my son's full moon wine, you have to come over for a drink no matter what!"

Hearing this, Xu Xingyan beside her couldn't help swallowing, and there was a trace of awe in her eyes. When Chen Yue was born in Luoyang, just such a baby made them all tormented. This...she can only say that everyone who dares to give birth to three Babies who give birth are all warriors!

Lin Shengmiao was also obviously surprised. She choked for a moment before asking, "How many months have you been pregnant?"

"There are still two months to go." Zheng Xing rubbed the palms of his hands, and said with great dissatisfaction, "My wife and I just thought that this baby will be a son again, so that we will have two sons and one daughter." , when we die, there will be the weeping spirits and coffin bearers one after the other."

"..." Lin Shengmiao thought to himself: You're thinking too far.

However, everyone has their own outlook on life. Even though Lin Shengmiao couldn't fully agree with it, she could still understand and respect her, and immediately expressed her congratulations with a smile.

It's just that it reminded her of her own father. Lin Yuan also has many ideas and practices that she can't agree with. Should she also understand it?Lin Shengmiao thought for two seconds, and quickly came to a conclusion - fuck off, it can't be done!

Everyone understands the truth, but Lin Shengmiao's gloomy childhood was directly linked to her father's inaction. When facing Lin Yuan, she always felt like facing an enemy and creditor.

Oh, she must have owed a lot of debts in her previous life, and she was given such a father in this life!

She could never forgive him in her heart, and Lin Yuan didn't need her forgiveness either. For the father and daughter, not disturbing each other and living their own lives is the best ending.

It's just like what Zheng Xing said, now, there is a more important existence in their lives. Even though the grievances in the past have not disappeared, they can't be compared with the beauty of the present. Yes, the future should be looking forward.

We stumbled and came to this world to bask more in the sun with the one we love. If we are always trapped in the darkness of the past, it is not worth it.
