Volume 3 Huahai Fengyun Chapter 7 Funeral of Xia's Parents
Volume 3: Huahai Fengyun Chapter 7: The Funeral of Xia’s Parents
There were too many eyes and ears on the street during the day, so Ling Jie didn't go out anymore, but after thinking about it, he realized that there were too many things that had not been arranged yet, so he immediately put on a jacket with a hood and a pair of sunglasses. He didn't even think about it.
After getting to know himself, he went out. After taking a bus for about an hour, he came to the most remote town in the east of the city. From a distance, he saw Xia Tongxin's house, which was covered with white cloth. Outside the door there was
Many guests come in and out, mostly to pay homage to the funeral.
Xia Tongxin was dressed in white clothes, with a white cloth tied on her head. She was holding a spiritual tablet in her hand. She knelt at the door of her house and bowed to thank every guest who came in and out. From a distance, Ling Jie saw that Xia Tongxin's eyes had already opened.
It was red, because I had been crying for too long, my face was swollen, my lips were turning a grayish white color, and they were deeply wrinkled. It was probably because I had been frozen for too long and not drank water for too long. Every time I passed by
Guests, Xia Tongxin bowed and said, "Thank you."
Ling Jie moved to Xia Tongxin. She didn't even look at him. She just bowed mechanically and said, "Thank you." Even her voice became hoarse.
Ling Jie knelt down and held Xia Tongxin's shoulders with both hands. Xia Tongxin did not refuse, but slightly raised her head and glanced at Ling Jie. As she looked at it, tears welled up in her eyes and fell down.
He threw himself into Ling Jie's arms and burst into tears.
Ling Jie also felt a strong pain in his heart, and hugged her tightly, as if this was the only way she could feel better. After a long time, Ling Jie patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I and my mother are here...
…”
When the word mother was mentioned, Xia Tongxin cried louder, "Mom, she passed away too..."
Ling Jie's head boomed. He never thought that even Xia's mother had left this world. "Mom, how could she leave too..."
Xia Tongxin's voice was twitchy, "My mother was not in good health and has been living in the hospital. When I heard the news of my father's death today, I couldn't bear the pressure, so I went there too..."
Holding this delicate body in his arms, Ling Jie's eyes suddenly turned red and he felt hot. Overnight, his childlike parents had left this world.
Ling Jie suddenly stopped moving. After a long time, he took a deep breath, rubbed his red eyes with his hands, and then helped Xia Tongxin up, "Don't kneel here, it's windy and rainy, let's go in.
Let me offer a stick of incense to my uncle and aunt."
Xia Tongxin nodded, but her body was not obedient at all. It was Ling Jie who lifted her up with all his strength. Because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs and even her body were numb. She came to the hall. Although it was said that the hall was actually very small,
It’s only thirty square meters, and there are tables in the lobby
There were two coffins, and two portraits hung in front of the coffins. They were Father Xia and Mother Xia. Their smiles were still as bright as before. Ling Jie couldn't help but think of that night, what Father Xia and Mother Xia said to him, and what he said to him.
There were sweet words between the two of them.
But now, in just a few days, these two elders are no longer in the world, leaving this world without a word. Looking at the two portraits, the more Ling Jie looked at them, the more he thought of his parents, "Uncle and aunt
, Lingjie, I’m here to see you.”
Xia Tongxin handed Ling Jie a stick of incense. Ling Jie took it and slowly inserted it into the incense burner, then knelt down on the ground, "I'm sorry, I'm late and couldn't see you for the last time, aunt. I think you must have
You have a lot to say to me, so don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of your childishness."
There are people coming over to offer incense. Most of the people here are poor workers in the small alley villages. Their clothes are ordinary, or a bit tattered. I usually have a good relationship with Dad Xia, but now I see Dad Xia and Mom Xia.
Even after his death, everyone felt bad and sent red envelopes one after another, hoping to give Xia Tongxin some help.
Xia Tongxin knelt down again and thanked everyone who sent red envelopes. Many people sighed loudly, all lamenting that Xia Tongxin had no support at such a young age. One of them, an older man, stretched out his hand.
He patted Xia Tongxin on the shoulder and said gently, "Tongxin, you have to be more open-minded. People will eventually have such a day. You will still have uncle and me in the future. If you feel you don't want to live here, you can move to your uncle's house.
Stay. We are all dependent on you."
Xia Tongxin raised her tearful eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, uncle, thank you uncle. Tongxin will not be defeated by this difficulty."
The old man smiled and nodded, "It's best if you think so. As an uncle, I have watched you grow up. Come to my house for a meal in the evening, remember."
Xia Tongxin nodded and thanked, "Yes, I will. Thank you, uncle."
The old man just left. He is Xia Tongxin's biological uncle. Xia Tongxin often brings some gifts to visit him at home. The old man loves her very much. Now that he sees what Xia Tongxin is going through, he sympathizes with her and really hopes that Xia Tongxin
Tong Xin came to live in her own home for a while so that she could regain some energy and not be too injured.
Ling Jie was still kneeling there, because he was wearing black armor, a pair of dark blue jeans, and sunglasses. Many people didn't dare to get too close when they saw him, for fear of irritating him.
Jie didn't care too much about this. He just looked at the two portraits and said, "Uncle Xia, you shouldn't die. You are such a good person, you shouldn't be killed like this..."
The crowd around them gradually became sarcastic, and not long after, the crowd had dispersed. Only Ling Jie, Xia Tongxin and a few other helpers were left in the hall. When they were about to finish work, someone suddenly approached from outside the door.
There were several men dressed in very weird and non-mainstream styles. One had a ring on his nose, another had earrings, and one had a shaved head.
The three people looked at the door, and finally their eyes fell on Xia Tongxin. The bald man smiled, waved and walked over, "Tongxin, we came to see you. Do you remember?"
Tongxin was so depressed that she didn't pay much attention to it at first. After watching it for a while, she finally realized, "Are you my uncle's son, Xiao Lizi?"
The bald head nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you still remember me, childlike innocence. I thought you had forgotten me. Just now my dad asked me to come and see you, so I came."
Xia Tongxin wasn't familiar with him, but when she thought he was her uncle's son, she let it go and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Li Zi."
The bald man laughed and reached out to pat Tong Xin's shoulder, "It's okay. If anything happens in the future, my brother Li Zi will take care of you. You must stand up. Your parents hope that you can live well."
Never do anything you can’t imagine.”
The man next to him with a big ring on his nose also said, "Yes, yes, although Brother Li Zi is a gangster in this area, he treats you very well. Several times someone tried to cause trouble for you, but he was beaten and disabled by Brother Li Zi."
It’s over.”
The bald man waved him to stop talking, and smiled at Tongxin and said, "Sister Tongxin, I've done the math. I received more than 10,000 yuan in gift money today, plus I'll wrap up a red envelope of 20,000 yuan for you. You will be here from now on.
Open a restaurant on that small street nearby, open it on my chassis, and no one will dare to cause trouble for you."
The childlike innocence was moved for a moment, and her voice started to cry, "Brother Li Zi, thank you..."
The bald head helped Xia Tongxin stand up, "It's nothing, that's right. I only have a little money on my body. It's all because I'm used to being lavish and can't save any money. You just have to settle for now. Thirty thousand is already there."
I can barely open a shop of more than 70 square meters."
Tongxin nodded repeatedly, but did not agree immediately. This method was undoubtedly her best choice now, but she still set her sights on Ling Jie, hoping to see his point of view.
Ling Jie was still kneeling in front of the coffin. He stood up after a while, staggered and almost lost his balance. He took a deep breath, turned around and smiled at Little Lizi, "Little Lizi, thank you for everything you have done for your childlike innocence.
"
Xiao Lizi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of Ling Jie's words. Listening to Ling Jie's meaning, he seemed to be quite friendly with Tong Xin. Tong Xin hurriedly introduced, "Brother Li Zi, I forgot to tell you, this
This is the Ling Jie I told you about, he is mine..."
At this point, she originally wanted to say the word husband, but she felt it was a bit inappropriate. Her parents had just left, so how could she mention marriage in front of her parents' funeral.
Xiao Lizi immediately understood that he was just a little gangster who collected some protection money on the street, and he was somewhat famous in the local area. With his eyes, he could easily tell at a glance that Ling Jie was not the one in the pool, no matter how Ling Jie was dressed or dressed.
, or the aura shown on his face, made Xiao Lizi deeply feel that Ling
Jie seemed to be the scariest person he had ever seen. He laughed twice but said nothing. He didn't know what to say, even if it was just a few words of greeting, he didn't know where to start.
Because he felt that Ling Jie seemed a little disdainful to talk to people like him, so he simply didn't speak.
Ling Jie forced out a smile, although it was ugly, but he still smiled, "Just do as you say, I think it would be good to open a small shop here, at least it won't be too messy, I want peace of mind. As for
I'll take care of the money matters. From now on, you can take care of Tongxin on your territory. If you encounter any big trouble, you can call this phone."
Ling Jie took out a business card with only one phone number and nothing else, not even his name or position.
This is Li Bao's phone number. Ling Jie just came back and he doesn't have a mobile phone yet.
Xiao Lizi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Tongxin is my sister, and I will never let anything happen to her."
Ling Jie nodded. Judging from the conversation just now, this little plum does love his sister Tong Xin very much. There is no need to doubt this Ling Jie. He immediately said, "I also hope nothing will happen to her."
Xiao Lizi felt sweating on his back and nodded repeatedly. The expression between Ling Jie's brows made him feel hairy.
