Pretending to be nice today

Afterwards, some relatives and friends of grandma came.They had worked all day on weekdays, or they were elderly people. When they arrived at the scene, they all looked tired, said a few words of condolence to Fang Huiheng, and sat outside to keep watch.

Because Fang Yin didn't have much contact with these elders, when they met tonight, he couldn't figure out the relationship between them. Most of them even greeted each other strangely when they met for the first time.

A few of them are relatively close to Fang Huiheng. When he was raised by Fang Huiheng, they met once or twice, and they looked a little familiar.

They asked about Fang Yin's current situation, and Fang Yin said everything was fine.

After a while, the people who rarely got together because of grandma's death gradually warmed up and started chatting.They were stacking paper money while talking, Fang Yin sat quietly inside, and could hear the discussion outside clearly.

Some told Fang Huiheng that their son was good-looking, and some discussed the funeral process and buying a cemetery. After talking about these, they each talked about their grandma in their eyes and their past intersections.

In addition to missing the old man's kindness and enthusiasm in the past, it is more lamented that her life is not going well.Working hard for his livelihood, he fell and was sent to the hospital before he could live a comfortable life.

The generalization of "suffering for a lifetime" is not far from Fang Yin, his grandma is.

The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Fang Yin ate the bread slowly, threw away the wrapping paper, and sighed.

He said to Lu Qingzhe beside him, "I haven't seen her for so many days, I'm on the road today, and it's still a few minutes away."

He didn't think about it so quickly, it was useless for Fang Huiheng to take care of the whole thing, he was still depressed.

The weather was muggy, and two sitting air conditioners were turned on outside.Only he and Lu Qingzhe sat inside, beside the stove burning paper money, with a burning smell in their breath.

When Lu Qingzhe used to enlighten him, he would touch his hair or pinch the back of his neck. These actions were very soothing to him.But here, Lu Qingzhe didn't do that.

His palm covered Fang Yin's hand, and he let go after holding it.He said: "I always think that people's longing can be passed on, even if you don't see it, your grandma will definitely know."

Fang Yin pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly: "Really?"

Lu Qing said, "Yes."

He was carefully folding the paper money. He forgot the steps at first, but now he is familiar with them again, making things very straight.There is a large cardboard box at the foot, and a small pile of such paper money has already been piled up.

Fang Yin watched Lu Qingzhe's movements, trying not to let himself continue to think wildly.He took a piece of paper to learn from others, and even though he followed Lu Qing's step by step, the finished product was not as good-looking as the other party.

The thin paper was difficult to hold up, crooked and shapeless, Fang Yin held it in his hand and carefully placed it in a cardboard box.

Lu Qingzhe then dragged the box between the two of them, making it easier for Fang Yin to store his things.

He said, "You have to keep a three-day vigil. You have to rest after dawn, otherwise you won't be able to hold on."

Fang Yin shook his head, he couldn't calm down, even if he was lying down, he was still tangled in his heart.The two of them sat on this long wooden chair all night, until around five o'clock in the morning, Fang Huiheng came to replace him, and he was persuaded by Lu Qingzhe to get into the car.

Lu Qingzhe said: "Even if you don't sleep, just close your eyes and lie down for a while."

It was not comfortable to sleep in the back row, so he put down the passenger seat and let Fang Yin lie down on it.Fang Yin didn't try to be too brave, and followed suit with a heavy heart.

The car stopped not far from the mourning hall, and he could vaguely hear relatives talking to Lu Qingzhe, probably to persuade him to go to bed too.

It didn't take long before his consciousness gradually blurred, and he was having nightmares.

For a while, he was standing in the kitchen, watching his grandma cook for himself, and for a while, he was about to be taken back by his mother, and his grandma would arrange his clothes without saying a word.

He vaguely felt that the rear door was opened, and the sound of opening the door was very soft.Even though he had always been a light sleeper, he was only slightly awake at this moment, and he was not disturbed.

Instead, a long-sleeved jacket was covered on his body, so he couldn't help struggling a bit, and then his cheek was gently wiped with a wet tissue.

At this moment, he could realize that his tears were rolling down involuntarily, sliding down the side of his face.Many water marks were blown by the air conditioner, and quickly dried up, making my cheeks uncomfortable.

It seems that he has been crying while dreaming, he thought.

He wanted to have a word with Lu Qingzhe, but Lu Qingzhe said before him: "Don't cry, sleep well."

It was one o'clock in the afternoon when Fang Yin woke up again. After seeing the roof of the car clearly, he immediately turned his head to look to the side.Lu Qingzhe was sleeping, lying on his side facing him, holding a used wet wipe in his hand, probably wiping his tears before going to bed.

He didn't move, afraid that he would wake Lu Qingzhe when he opened the door.The mood was much calmer than before, he lay here, listened quietly to Lu Qingzhe's breathing for a while, and felt that his heart was not so flustered, and he fell to the ground leisurely.

Last night and Mengzhong cried so much that Fang Yin's eyes were swollen, and they would be sore after opening them for a long time.He yawned and rested until about two o'clock, when Lu Qingzhe shook his arm, the two returned to the mourning hall together.

Fang Huiheng took care of trivial matters, big and small, and there was a woman next to Fang Huiheng, helping with bookkeeping and making phone calls.After meeting Fang Yin, she gave Fang Yin a friendly smile.

She is about the same age as Fang Huiheng, with white hair on her temples, and her temperament is completely opposite to that of Fang's mother.Fang Yin vaguely remembered that Fang Huiheng once told himself that he met someone and got along well.

Fang Huiheng introduced: "Call me Auntie."

Fang Yin called auntie, didn't communicate much with the auntie, went straight to the back room, stared at a long burning lamp in front of the cabinet in a daze.

Apart from this matter, Lu Qingzhe asked Chen Congjin to help with Lu Qingzhe's volunteer activities, and Chen Congjin readily agreed.When it was time for dinner, Chen Congjin asked if he wanted to pack the food.

This was a timely question. In the past, everyone ate bread or instant noodles, but now Fang Huiheng bought boxed lunches and distributed them one by one.

However, the dishes are not very appetizing, and some are too greasy.Lu Qing was in the way of politeness, saw Fang Huiheng handing it over, thanked him, and took it.

Fang Yin didn't eat, he had a bad stomach, this meal was a bit embarrassing for him.

Lu Qing asked Chen Congjin to bring the porridge from the Sixth Canteen, and Chen Congjin brought a packing bag from the canteen and a wreath.

The porridge was still hot, fragrant and tangy, Fang Yin drank it slowly with his eyelashes drooping in the warmth that rushed over his face.

Chen Congjin couldn't think of what to say. After looking at Lu Qingzhe, he was probably recalling how he comforted Lu Qingzhe a few years ago.He pondered for a while and said, "Cheer up."

"Thank you." Fang Yin said.

The following night, the two of them were still folding paper money here.Fang Yin has become a lot more proficient, and the folds are also beautiful. He meticulously accumulates some, and waits until each one is on time, and then burns them in the stove.

He is a materialist, but at this time, knowing that the folk customs say that these things will be used by grandma in another world, he will inevitably want to burn more, pour the things into the stove, and try to fill it up as much as possible.

Lu Qingzhe seemed to use this to remember something, smiled slightly, and said, "Be careful."

Fang Yin made an OK gesture: "Don't worry."

"When my parents passed away, I put this in too quickly and burned my hand." Lu Qing said, "There is a small scar on my right hand."

He showed Fang Yin that scar, after so many years, it became very faint, almost invisible, but he still remembered it firmly.

Fang Yin paused and said, "I seem to understand."

Lu Qingzhe wondered what he understood: "Huh?"

"I understand why you are so kind to me." Fang Yin said.

He recalled what had happened in the past year, and behind many of Lu Qingzhe's actions were extensions of past encounters.

It's just that this extension is tender enough for Fang Yin to cherish.

"You're terrified of losing," he said.

Lu Qing smiled and said: "It's not the root cause, I love you very much, that's why I'm afraid."

Speech after drunkenness is not a whim, but the truth.Fang Yin didn't understand at first, but now he understands.

Only after this experience can we understand that it is not that simple to cherish the people in front of us.In this two-way relationship, Lu Qingzheng loves him, and when he responds to the other party, he should also love himself.

And he didn't do this well for a long time before.

Fang Yin said: "If it wasn't too bad to say, I really want to say..."

"Tell me." Lu Qing said frantically.

Fang Yin murmured: "If it's you lying here, I just assume that my whole body is about to collapse."

He is not perfect in terms of family affection, even if he used to come to take care of his grandma every rest day.Due to some practical factors, the relationship between the two stopped at taking care of each other when necessary, and it was not so deep that it could not be separated. If half of their lives and souls were buried, it would be difficult to continue in the future.

But the meaning of Lu Qingzhe was different. After Fang Yin finished speaking, he thought about it, and his heart was pierced instantly. It was hard to describe the panic.

Lu Qingzhe looked at his uneasy expression, and could figure out what this person was worried about.He interrupted speechlessly: "It's really too unlucky."

The fire in the stove was out, and the house was still hot, but bearable.

Fang Yin said embarrassingly: "I was scared..."

"What are you scared of? What are you talking about?" Fang Huiheng walked in with a look of curiosity.

Fang Yin immediately sat upright, shook his head and said perfunctorily, "Talk casually."

Fang Huiheng was not suspicious, and told Lu Qing that it was getting late, "I'm sorry to trouble you to accompany Fang Yin these two days, and you have your own business, so don't continue to be tired here."

Lu Qingzhe declined, "It doesn't matter."

"Tsk, before school starts, go back and rest for a while. Besides, your parents should have some objections if you spend the night outside for two consecutive days." Fang Huiheng said, "Staying here smells like smoke and is dirty. Not comfortable either."

Fang Yin looked at Lu Qingzhe, then raised his head to stare at Fang Huiheng.He said, "I let him stay here."

It was unjustifiable for the classmate to stay here, Fang Yin bit the bullet and found an excuse: "Don't let him go, I'm afraid."

"Your dad is here, what are you afraid of?" Fang Huiheng retorted.

Fang Yin said, "It's just fear."

Fang Huiheng always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't control Fang Yin, and he knew he had no right to restrain him.Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he just went with them.

Within 5 minutes, he paced in again, scanning the two people left and right.He wondered: "Xiao Lu, you go out, I have something to talk to Fang Yin."

Lu Qing went out to take a breath, and the relatives and friends who were guarding the spirit outside handed him a cigarette.He doesn't smoke, and leans against the car to play with his mobile phone for a while.

The school forum has a lot of traffic before the start of the school year. Freshmen pour in to actively interact with the seniors and sisters. There are many new posts every day.His name is always mentioned by others, and he is introduced to the freshmen as a school grassroots.

In the past two days, there was a hot post with the topic: Where did the school grass take Xiao Kuo Shao? ? ?

Lu Qing guessed that when he ran out with Fang Yin yesterday, someone else would take a photo and post it on the forum.

The reaction of the students was very strong. I have seen two boys running together, but I have never seen them holding hands.Everyone guessed about Fang Yin's relationship with Lu Qingzhe, there was no malicious intent between the lines, it was pure gossip.

2L: There's something wrong with them! !When choosing courses, they will sit together, sometimes side by side, sometimes front and back.It’s true that good friends can be like this, but I saw it with my own eyes. Once Fang Yin sat in the back and wrote a small note hidden in Lu Qing’s sweater hat!Lu Qingzhe took out the note at that time, and laughed at the other party! !Grass, a graduate of the A-attachment, has been in the same school as him for several years, and has never seen this person smile before.

3L: A clue, Lu Qing chose to apply for a second degree instead of going to the School of Mathematics to the School of Physics.I thought he was interested in astronomy, but it seems that he is interested in learning astronomy hahahaha!

……

103L: @小方, come out and say something.

104L: @校草, or Xiaocao talk about it.

There are those who feel uncomfortable, but the education that the vast majority of students here have received, if not taught tolerance, has enabled them to maintain basic qualities.Throughout the post, there was generally no jarring quarrel.

Lu Qing flipped through the post for a while, and was not in the mood to make a fuss at the moment, so he only bookmarked the page and saved a few pictures inside. Five minutes later, when Fang Huiheng came out, he walked in. Fang Yin was in a daze.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Yin said: "When grandma is buried, he will leave."

"Let's go?" Lu Qingzhe knew that Fang Huiheng was a local and was driving for the boss of a small company.

Fang Yin nodded: "My dad said that he is getting old, and he plans to go to her hometown with his aunt, do some easy work there, and then retire."

That place is far less prosperous and developed than city A, even backward.At the same time, prices are low and the pace of life is slow.Fang Huiheng's pension will be very tight in City A, and he will definitely be able to spend his days leisurely there.

Fang Yin said: "I'm worried that he won't get used to it, I want him to reconsider."

Lu Qingzhe said, "Probably not."

He was surprised, but it was undoubtedly a good decision. Fang Huiheng's only hobby was playing in the chess and card room, and he didn't have high demands on life.And there must be a chess and card room in that place, and the fee is estimated to be much cheaper than that in City A.

"Well, he also said that he doesn't need to think about it anymore. He struggled for a long time, and he should have told me earlier, but grandma was sick and couldn't leave, so he had to drag on." Fang Yin said.

The people he cared about left his life one by one in various ways, and none of them could force them.He knew that many things were almost incomplete.

He rubbed his eyes wearily: "I think I have been tossed so much, and I can learn to accept it calmly. However, not all of them, some must be fought for with all my strength."

There is always one corner of stubbornness that has not been smoothed, but after so much, it has become sharper and clearer.He murmured: "I don't want to have any regrets with you, every day, every thing."

The paper money had just been burned in the stove, and there was a crackling sound from time to time.

Fang Yin's side face was illuminated by the fire, and his expression was different from when he raised his expectations in high spirits in the past, more like making some kind of determined promise.Although his tone of voice was light when he spoke, his gaze was bright and firm.

Lu Qing couldn't help being stunned for a while, and was silent for about three seconds before replying, "Then I have to work harder."

·

The funeral went well, and the two came back to wash up during this period, but neither of them had a good rest.After everything was over, Lu Qingzhe and Fang Yin lay at home for a day, and adjusted their schedules that were disrupted by the vigil.

When the alarm clock rang in the early morning, Fang Yin rushed to make a breakfast and showed his skills. The fried eggs managed to prevent the two of them from entering the toilet.

The orientation is over, and the school's tasks have also come to an end.Lu Qingzhe invited Chen Congjin to come over for dinner at noon, and Chen Congjin brought Su Wei along.

Fang Yin cut fruit for them and brought a plate over."How does it feel to help others?" he asked.

Su Wei is mainly responsible for picking up people at the station, and has been going back and forth with the school bus these days.He said: "The school bus drivers are all locals, and they speak with an accent. I will soon learn the dialect from them."

Also a volunteer, Su Wei was elated, while Chen Congjin was sad and sighed.

He stayed at the reception point for four days. Many parents heard that he was a medical student, and they were very pleasantly told about their recent distress, such as knee pain, frequent tinnitus, and tooth inflammation.

Chen Congjin said: "It's no different from being an intern in a hospital. Some people ask me if I can feel the pulse."

Su Wei smiled: "Then you will?"

Chen Congjin spread out his palms: "Come and try, I'll build it for you."

Fang Yin and Su Wei were dubiously duped by this serious look. Su Wei stretched out her right hand with the palm facing up, and Ren Chen clasped his wrist decently from now on.

Chen Congjin "hissed" feeling troubled, and frowned seriously, as if he had found something wrong.

Su Wei asked: "What do you see?"

Chen Congjin looked at him and said, "Wow, your situation is a happy pulse."

Then he was pushed by Su Wei's arm, the force was not heavy, it was like scratching.Su Wei organized the language for a long time, not knowing how to criticize Chen Congjin, and finally said annoyedly: "Really."

Fang Yin helped Su Wei speak, teasing: "Really, what are you doing in front of others. This is not the first time, Dr. Chen."

Dr. Chen turned to look at Lu Qingzhe, and said, "What are you doing in front of other people? It's still your most sensational."

Fang Yin felt that Lu Qingzhe was a good student, so he had nothing to do with this kind of behavior.He defended Lu Qingzhe in a daze: "Don't hurt the innocent!"

It wasn't until school started, when he was walking on the road, surrounded by many people, that he vaguely figured out that something was wrong.

Considering that he had received similar treatment, after the photos of him riding a sports car were posted on the forum, he received as much attention as he does now.So, Fang Yin logged into the forum suspiciously.

Wandering around the forum, his eyes were almost darkened.

——104L: @校草, or talk about it.

——3607L: [Reply 104L] Ah.

This building is not anonymous. According to the prompt in the post, Fang Yin clicked on the user page of building 3607, and the account number was displayed as: TN00001.

The author has something to say: Lu: Ah.

Everyone: Ahhh? !

Fang: Ahhhhhh!
