Cheng Tianyuan whispered helplessly: "But she always said she wanted to go back and live, and she was scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Ah Hu asked.
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "In our hometown, if the old man wants to hold a funeral in his hometown after his death and is buried in the mountain, he can only be the old man who died in the village. If he died outside, especially the old woman, it is not allowed.
People who went back to their hometown to hold funerals. People in the village think that this would be too unlucky and would not be good for the feng shui of the entire village. Although most people know that it is superstitious, but each generation is passed down from generation to generation, and no descendant dares to disobey it."
Ah Hu said a few times, and nodded in understanding.
"Yes! Some rural areas do look like this."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "My father died suddenly and had no preparations at all. But I just took his ashes back and did not hold a big funeral there. In addition, he is a descendant of Chengjia Village in this sect, no one dares
He said no. But my mother is different. She is a woman and she is not named Cheng. If she didn't die there and wanted to hold a funeral in the village, the villagers would definitely not agree."
"But my godmother's illness is not that far!" Ah Hu couldn't help but persuade, "When the old man is dying, we will take her back again, isn't that enough?"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head helplessly: "My mother was worried... Maybe she found that she was in a trance, she always couldn't remember things, and she guessed something secretly. She always thought she was about to lose her way, so she always secretly told me that she had to take her back to her hometown."
Ah Hu was in a dilemma and asked, "What should you do? Sister-in-law and Ranran are all here, so it's impossible to leave! How can you take your godmother back to Chengjia Village alone? Sister-in-law doesn't want to do it!"
Cheng Tianyuan was speechless, but turned to sigh helplessly.
"If she wants, I don't want to come out to have a drink with you. We have known each other for so many years, and have you seen me drink with you so much? Ah?"
Ah Hu nodded suddenly and turned to laugh.
"No wonder I always feel weird! OK! It's not a big deal. Discuss it with my sister-in-law. How could she not understand you and my godmother as such a magnanimous person?"
Cheng Tianyuan whispered in a low voice: "If it was my mother's death, she would definitely agree. But now my mother always urged me to take her back, but she really couldn't leave, so she only agreed to take my mother back and stay for a few days to see it.
”
Ahu understood and agreed: "Sister-in-law can't leave! Her career still can't be freed up, and Uncle Xue and Aunt are too old and cannot live without people every day. Xiaopeng and Xiaoyu are still young, Xiaoxiao
I have to go to class, I have to go to work, and I have to rely on my sister-in-law to support me at home and outside."
"I know." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his eyes and murmured: "It's not that she is unfilial to my mother, she just thinks that the elderly should take good care of their illness and stay in a better environment, which is the best for her."
"That's sure!" Ah Hu asked back: "Where can I find a big garden that is more comfortable and better than Xinyuan? Let's not talk about the whole world, even if it's national level, Xinyuan is one of the few top-notch!"
"But my mother is very anxious inside." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "This is something she can't understand. Moreover, the people in the village... were talking nonsense, and my mother felt depressed."
Ah Hu frowned and asked, "What's going on? What are the people in the village saying?"
"What else can I do?" Cheng Tianyuan's face was dark and he said, "It's just gossip that I might marry into the imperial capital. There are also peers who speculate that I don't plan to go back to my hometown in this life, and even my old mother wants to be buried outside.
”
Ah Hu swallowed his saliva and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You know! I understand, this is how the village is. Everyone likes to talk about other people's gossip, and the people are the ones who are both the ones - the ones!"
"I'm okay." Cheng Tianyuan said: "But my mother can't do it. She cared very much. First, she hoped to go back to her hometown and be buried with my dad, and second, she didn't want others to talk about me."
Ah Hu couldn't help asking: "You said you have done a lot of good things for your hometown and donated a lot of money. Why are there any family members in your hometown saying this to you?"
"There are many people and many people, and the more hearted people." Cheng Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "Most people think I am still a conscientious person. I have made a fortune and have never forgotten my hometown. But there are also some jealous people who secretly say to me.
He was married into the imperial capital, otherwise how could his descendants not return to Chengjia Village, and he could not even go back to the New Year.”
Ah Hu rolled his eyes: "Thieves' minds! Some people are like this, they can't stand others! They are jealous but cannot find other ways to seek balance in their hearts. They are eager to fabricate some bad things and discredit others!"
"In the countryside, men who marry into the woman's family will most likely be looked down upon." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Unless the family situation is very bad, poor and unable to marry a wife at all, no man will be willing to marry into the woman's family."
”
Ah Hu snorted disdainfully: "They are just jealous of you! It must be!"
Cheng Tianyuan whispered depressedly: "How dare I say these words to Ling Ling... But now we have very few opportunities in our hometown in the past. Xue Yang and Xue Xin don't have my surname, so people in our hometown will inevitably talk and say anything.
I guess I'm married here."
Ah Hu turned his eyes and asked, "Does Godmother know about this?"
"I know." Cheng Tianyuan was not upset and explained: "My mother was in good health before, and she insisted on going to worship my father every year. At that time, we went back almost every year on Qingming Festival, and my mother must have heard it a lot."
It was not until the old man was too old and could not stand the hard work of back and forth that he went alone.
In the past two or three years, there have been a lot of work at home, and they have to go to work and take care of three elderly people. He doesn’t like to go back to his hometown, so he goes back less and less.
He doesn't like going back alone, so how could he inspire others to go back?
Ah Hu gave him a pity and whispered: "It's not easy."
Cheng Tianyuan grabbed his gray hair and smiled sadly.
"A lot of troubles! My mother was yelling to go back, afraid that she would not be able to get there. She is a traditional rural thinker of the older generation, and there is no way for the young people to understand! I also think the old man can't go back at this time, but he can't resist it.
She begged and angry. To be honest, I am like you, and I don’t think there is any need to go back to my hometown. My home is here and my relatives are here. My hometown is just an old memory from decades ago, and there is no other meaning."
Ah Hu thought about it and couldn't help asking: "Then what are you doing now?"
Cheng Tianyuan rubbed the screen of his phone and explained: "My wife agreed to take the old man back for a few days to see if he could adapt. If it doesn't work, I'll coax her to come back and promise her to take her back when she's dead, and promised her to take her back.
I must let her and my dad be buried together."
"It must be done?"
"Yes! If this is not the case, the old man will not give up."
