Early the next morning, everyone changed into black clothes.
After a hurry to have breakfast, everyone rushed to the cemetery.
Zheng Duoduo's face was pale, and the sunglasses on his eyes made him look extremely bad.
Chen Xinzhi stood beside him, holding a large bouquet of chrysanthemums in his hand.
Xiao Tong was supported by her mother and brother, and she cried so hard that she was ruthless.
Tong Zi stood not far away, with his hands in his arms, and his face calmly kept silent.
Xue Ling held a white chrysanthemum in her hand, and never opened her mouth from beginning to end, watching the child burial silently.
Except for the hysterical cry of Tooth, no one else made a sound at the scene. He silently shed tears and offered flowers, and then turned around and left one by one.
After Wang Xiaoxiao walked away a few steps, she couldn't help crying.
Xue Yang kissed her hair with red eyes, hugged her and walked away step by step.
Xiaohuzi took off his sunglasses, wiped his tears, put on his sunglasses again and followed their pace.
"Sister Ling!" Chen Lan hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "Wait! Sister Ling!"
Xue Ling stopped, turned his head and saw that it was Chen Lan, and then took off her sunglasses.
Chen Lan's hair is gray, her forehead and eyes are full of wrinkles, and her skin is not well maintained, and she looks much older than Xue Ling.
"Sister Ling... I have something to talk to you."
Xue Ling nodded slightly.
Cheng Huanran, who was beside him, greeted him warmly: "Hello, Auntie. It's very windy outside, please follow my mother into the car and chat."
After speaking, he politely opened the car door.
Chen Lan was a little restrained and smiled awkwardly.
"OK, thanks."
Xue Ling held Chen Lan's hand and found that her hands were very rough, with thick bones and very sick and cold.
"Alan, let's talk in the car."
The two got into the car one after another.
Xue Ling poured out hot water from the thermos pot in the corner and handed Chen Lan a cup.
"Take a few sips to warm up your body."
Chen Lan thanked her and took it, blew it, and quickly took several sips.
She didn't sleep all night last night and came to the mountain early in the morning. The cold wind that had been blowing for more than an hour but the water had not dripped in. She was already very thirsty.
There was heating in the car, and no one was present except the driver in front of it.
Seeing that no acquaintances were present, Chen Lan took the initiative to speak: "Sister Ling, I heard that you fell ill yesterday... We went to see you twice, but unfortunately you couldn't come out. I know you are very busy, so I... I will just say it simply
Two sentences, please listen to me."
"Sorry, I fell asleep in a deep sleep for most of the day yesterday, and I was only able to get better this morning." Xue Ling took a sip of water and said, "I'll listen, you can say it slowly."
Chen Lan looked out the car window and sighed deeply.
"Sister Ling, I-we never expected something like this to happen. Tiansha! The child is so young, and suddenly it disappeared like this... Xiao Tong was crying miserably."
Xue Ling sighed softly.
Chen Lan's eyes were filled with tears and she whispered: "It's an accident that the child has disappeared. Tong Zi said... Xiao Tong told him no, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense. In fact, in my opinion, Duoduo's child
It's so good, and it's good enough to treat Xiao Tong. The two of them are so impulsive that they want to divorce when they get angry. They are in love for many years and have been married for several years. How can they say they are separated and divorced? Sister Ling
, do you think so? I think we should advise them to reconcile and continue to live a good life."
Xue Ling added an extra cup of hot water to her and asked, "Is this your idea, or Xiao Tong's idea? In fact, the person who wanted to have a divorce at the beginning was Xiao Tong, not Duoduo."
"This... I know." Chen Lan rubbed her hands in embarrassment and explained: "I told her not to act impulsively, but she didn't listen. This child... he would discuss anything with her father when he was young.
I don’t like to tell me. I don’t have much education and don’t know much about it. Her father always takes charge of the family’s affairs. He will do whatever he says, and he will do whatever he says.”
Xue Ling was not surprised at all.
I called twice last time, and it was all the calls that Tong Zi answered. Tong Zi said that Chen Lan was not here and was watching the decoration of the new house. She was about noon and came back to cook.
Zheng Duoduo said before that his father-in-law was sick and his mother-in-law had to take care of him, so he could not come north to help them take care of their children.
At that time, Xue Ling asked what disease he had with his old friend, but Zheng Duoduo said it seemed that it was an occupational disease in the past, which was not serious, but it had to rely on his mother-in-law to take care of him.
My mother-in-law is responsible for all three meals a day, from the work of wiping the table and washing socks.
Later, Xue Ling understood clearly and realized that Tong Zi's occupational disease was just a little uncomfortable in his throat, not a serious illness.
Despite this, he couldn't cook by himself, and didn't even wash a vegetable, so Chen Lan didn't dare to leave him, for fear that no one would take care of him.
Chen Lan is busy doing all the work at home.
Tong Zi and his son both had no fingers to touch the spring water. One received his retirement salary to play chess, read books, and listen to music. The other received a salary of several thousand a month. When he got off work, he crossed his legs and brushed his phone, and he had a pair of them.
All socks have to be washed by your mother.
Chen Lan heard that her young grandson was not in good health, and she also thought about going north to help her daughters. But an old literary young man in the family needed her care, and a young man in the new era also needed her care, so she couldn't separate himself.
Chen Min and Ah Hu both said that Tong Zi married Chen Lan because she was greedy for her virtuousness and diligence. For more than 30 years, Chen Lan has taken care of all the work in the family alone, and Tong Zi is still like before.
Chen Lan has to help him make tea pots.
Tong Zi has the highest status in the family, and his wife has to listen to him, and his son and daughter have to listen to him.
Chen Lan has never had any idea, she is just a traditional rural housewife. No matter what happens, she asks her father to ask and discuss, but she only listens to her father.
It is easy to say that Chen Lan has the lowest status and has the least say in her family.
Chen Lan shook her head and sighed: "Sister Ling, although I don't recognize any big reason, I know it's not easy for a couple to live together. Moreover, I know that Xiao Tong really likes Xiao Zheng. One of them is in the north.
, If one is in the south, he can become a couple from such a long distance, it must be a great fate. After getting married, what else can I do to make trouble?... I should live a good life."
Xue Ling half-hung his eyes at the misty water vapor in the cup and whispered: "I think so too. But the key is that they don't think so. They can live a good life like this - it's really a big deal."
disappointment."
Chen Lan sniffed and explained nervously: "This time I came here, my son-in-law Xiao Zheng ignored us from the beginning... I didn't even say hello. Tong Zi was very angry. He wanted to scold him... I
I stopped the child. The child was suddenly gone, Xiao Zheng was really uncomfortable."
Don't even say hello?
Xue Ling was stunned.
Based on her understanding of Zheng Duoduo, if he had already done this, it proved that he had completely drawn a clear line with Xiao Tong's family in his heart.
Moreover, there is really no way to look back between him and Xiao Tong.
