The news of Xiao Jiaxue's death made everyone sigh!
Mother Xue was very familiar with Xiao Jiaxue. When she heard that she had frozen to death in a foreign country, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"That child has always been strong, chubby, and so cute. When she was about to go abroad, she came to see us... I didn't expect that a quick farewell would turn out to be a forever farewell."
Father Xue sighed: "It's a pity that she doesn't even have a son or a half, not even a junior to die."
"Don't you have any children?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained in a low voice: "Xiao Jiaxue was picky at first, but then she started dating but couldn't find the right one. It wasn't until she met a foreigner when she was in her forties that she fell in love and got married smoothly. Both parties were quite old.
They were older and couldn't have a child. Later, they thought about adopting a child. Unfortunately, there were twists and turns. They were successful, but because the child was defective, they couldn't do it in the end. After she retired early, she followed her husband abroad. I thought
They will come back, but who knows they will never come back. Her husband passed away a few years ago, but she didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be able to survive this big cold wave... she froze to death at home."
Xue Zhilan shook his head gently: "A person without offspring is like a duckweed. When he gets old, he has no support, no ties or concerns."
"There is no need to worry about finances." Cheng Huanran whispered: "It's not that we have no support. The main reason is that we have no spiritual care and no one to take care of each other. Life in old age will inevitably be more miserable."
Xue Yang curled his lips: "Isn't it? My legs and feet were inconvenient, I had no heating equipment, and I couldn't even drink a sip of hot water. In the end, I was wrapped in quilts and froze to death - it makes me feel miserable just thinking about it!"
Cheng Huanran shook his head and sighed: "No one even went to claim the body..."
"Isn't the third child going?" Xue Yang muttered: "Fortunately, she still has a good best friend like our mother! Mom told me to let the third child hold a simple funeral for her and come back with her ashes. Mom still has to pay for her.
She chose a cemetery in the imperial capital to be buried to fulfill her last wish."
Cheng Huanran glanced at him and asked: "What if the third child didn't happen to be there? Mom might not even know the bad news of her death. If she had relatives or descendants around her, why would she freeze to death and no one would know!"
Xue Zhilan nodded in agreement: "Yes. If you have children by your side to take care of you, why worry about falling into this situation."
"Even if the children are in China, it won't be like this." Xue's father sighed: "The children have to go to the funeral anyway to get her ashes back for burial. So our older generation always say that people can't live without descendants, so
That’s the truth.”
After hearing this, Xue Xin, who was eating melon seeds at the side, rolled her eyes, met Chen Xinzhi's eyes impartially, and then pouted.
Chen Xinzhi pursed his lips slightly, withdrew his eyes and asked with concern: "Dad, does mom need to see a doctor? Or let the family doctor come."
"No need." Cheng Tianyuan said: "She just couldn't sleep well a few nights ago and was in low spirits. She drank a bowl of sleeping pills earlier and has fallen asleep now. Your uncle Zhilan said that she should wake up
It will be much better and there will be no big problem.”
Xue Xin muttered distressedly: "Mom is probably too sad. I remember that Aunt Xiao Jiaxue and my mother had a really good relationship. We would eat, drink coffee and chat together from time to time. From time to time, they would come to visit our grandparents at home and bring us some snacks. Impressions
She has always been chubby, and the older she gets, the more fat she gets. She is my mother’s best friend, and she must be very sad.”
"That's right!" Xue Yang nodded: "She has always been very fat. She feels close to 200 pounds."
"Her foreigner husband is also very fat." Cheng Huanran explained: "I can't see his neck, and his whole body is round. He is the typical apple fat. Once he was seriously ill, and his mother found a plane to send him abroad for treatment.
I’m quite impressed by this.”
Xue Yang added: "Aunt Xiao seems to have been in the purchasing business for a few years. At that time, many foreign things for my family were bought from her."
"Yes!" Cheng Huanran explained: "She also helped purchase some health care products for my grandparents. I also asked her to buy a few foreign medical books, which can be used when writing papers."
Cheng Tianyuan took a sip of tea and said: "When your mother and I first got married, the economic conditions were very poor. Your mother's salary at the newspaper office was quite high, two hundred yuan a month. But she still felt that it was not enough, so she deliberately looked for more
I had a part-time job. I worked during the day and stayed up late at night to do translation. The translation work at that time was introduced by Xiao Jiaxue. It was easier for intellectuals to make money at that time, and the royalties were high. Only then could we save enough money to perform surgery on your grandfather.
We started building houses and buying commercial housing by the river in Rongcheng. Later, your mother always said that the first pot of gold she earned was from her translation work, and Xiao Jiaxue was her first boss."
"Wow~~" Xue Yang sighed in disbelief: "I didn't expect that my mother had translated books! It's so hidden!"
"Your mother used to major in foreign languages." Xue's mother explained: "She knew a little foreign language at the beginning, but nothing else. She married your father after graduation and could find a job at a newspaper in the county.
, also based on that little knowledge of foreign languages. By the way, your Aunt Wang Qing is also the editor of that newspaper. They met at that time."
"That's it!"
"Mom used to be a foreign language editor! It's a pity that it's not a black history, so we can't laugh at her!"
Father Xue explained: "Xiao Jiaxue used to be in charge of foreign language books in a publishing house, so she had the opportunity to introduce your mother to a part-time job."
"It's from the publishing house!"
"No wonder you are looking for a foreigner husband!"
Chen Xinzhi didn't know Xiao Jiaxue and reminded: "It's better not to talk about this topic all the time, so as not to make my mother sad when she hears about old friends and past events."
"Yes, no more."
"Wait! When will the third child come back?"
"Is it the end of term? I should be back from vacation soon."
"When he brings the ashes back, my mother will probably be sad for several days."
"By the way, where can I buy a cemetery? Mom has to help pay for it!"
"My nephew said he couldn't do it without money! What can I do? Giving is a sign of kindness, not giving is too much!"
"I heard that when he got married, he had no money to buy a car. Aunt Xiao used part of the money from selling the house to buy him a car worth more than 300,000 yuan. When collecting money, it should not be excessive, and when paying out, it should not be excessive. Haha
!”
"Hehe! Hehe!"
"hehe!"
Cheng Tianyuan stopped and said, "Okay, you all should be quiet. Your mother knows this well. She has already discussed it with Xiao Jiaxue's nephew and plans to spend money to buy a cemetery next to Xiao Jiaxue's parents. I heard that there were also
There is a place, and your mother has already called for consultation and paid a deposit. He promised that when he goes to pay homage to his ancestors in the future, he will also pay homage to his aunt. If you have such a heart, it will be fine. Don't say anything, you know?
