I carefully took the box out and gave it to the old man.
"Open it, Jiujiu."
I opened the box and saw a photo inside, a black and white photo. It was like a dream. I seemed to see that the photo looked very similar to me, or that I was very close to this person.
Wearing the costumes of the former Qing Dynasty.
I felt like I was struck by thunder. I suddenly felt that this thing was my mother. I looked at the old man uncertainly.
It must be true, they look so similar...
He took the photo tremblingly and looked at it as if he was satisfied, as if this was what he called the best and happy time.
"This is your mother, your real biological mother. Her name is Nalan Mingzhu. She is the eldest daughter of the prince's palace. She was once the most beautiful girl. She was innocent, carefree, good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Proficient, but later after going abroad, he was burdened with an arduous task when he came back. No one knew this secret, but your mother took on this secret..."
I looked at my mother closely, and the slight smile in the photo was so satisfying, as if it was a longing for life. It was a person of my mother, when she was young, so beautiful, really so beautiful and incomparable.
I seemed to feel some kind of power that made me feel like this. I was really no longer an orphan. Although I knew about my mother's existence, it was only when I saw my mother's photo so close that I suddenly fell into a dream. All of this
They are all true and true, and there is never any falsehood.
"Although your mother has left me for many years, I still miss your mother so deeply. I miss her deeply. Now I am finally going to meet her. We will never meet again in this life.
Any separation..."
"So don't worry or cry. This is a beautiful ending and a beautiful beginning. Maybe I should accompany your mother in the second half of life to live the life we want to live. I don't know when we get to heaven.
What will it be like over there, but I know that your mother has been lingering in my dreams these days, explaining in my dreams that when I get there, I will definitely tell your mother that you are here.
I'm very happy, and you have the best future for yourself."
He looked at me and smiled softly. It was still so difficult to laugh, but he seemed to have a very satisfying feeling, a very happy feeling, as if he was relieved from a heavy burden.
"I should be really satisfied and satisfied in this life. I am really happy after having children like this. I hope you will keep going and shoulder this burden. Although the burden is heavy, it is yours.
Responsibility is also your obligation, you know? Cherish the growth of brothers every day, every future is related to it, I take good care of brothers, after all, they are your mother, the descendants of former brothers, their
There is no doubt about existence and their importance. I believe that I will do a good job without saying anything. You will always be so outstanding in this regard, just like your mother..."
I controlled my tears and nodded to the old man, because I knew that the old man had already said his last words to me at this moment.
Everything he says to me now is what he is most concerned about and worried about in the future, and it is also the most beautiful thing.
Maybe this is really the last farewell. I even regret not letting my brothers come back to see the old man off for the last time, but what does this kind of thing mean? Some beautiful things will always be placed deep in my heart.
The old man was trembling again.
"Remember, we must support the factory and support the current situation. We must work hand in hand with Najintang. After this matter calms down, we must grit our teeth and persevere in this matter no matter what."
I nodded.
"There are also some discounts here. These discounts were left to you by your mother. This is the private money left by your mother. You can arrange and solve the private money at will, and I will stay with you. I will leave all my private money to the two of you. When you encounter any difficulties and dangers, you must use this kind of money to defend yourself and tide over the difficulties. The world is going through twists and turns now, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. There are many things to do, but the difficulties are temporary, so we must grit our teeth and keep going.”
I was trembling, but he handed me a folder. I opened the folder and saw that there was a passbook from a Swiss bank inside, and it said, 10 million.
I really want to cry. My mother has always loved me very much. I have never been an orphan since I was a child. I have never been a poor child. I used to think that I had nothing, but I am really rich. A child, I am really a child who has a mother who loves her deeply and misses her deeply.
The old man looked at me and smiled with relief.
"There are also some things you must remember. No matter what happens, you must keep the money well. There is also a piece of jewelry your mother left you, and some life videos are stored in a separate bank cabinet in a Swiss bank. Wait, there is a password and key in this box, so I will give it to you. Your mother said this is to give you the dowry so that you can get married in style. When you were born, your mother had already helped you complete the dowry. Get ready. I originally wanted to wait until you get married and hand it over to you, but it seems that it may be too late. I now hand it over to you and your mother to complete what you entrusted to me. Already."
I couldn't help but want to cry. My mother had been designing my life for me since I was born.
How my mother loved me, she loved me to the bone, she loved me deeply, even at the moment when her life disappeared, she still made all kinds of financial plans for me.
The old man smiled and then looked at me seriously.
"You and Na Jintang must be together for a hundred years. Don't forget to make family sacrifices during the Qingming Festival. Naiweng tells us how you are doing, and tell your children so that they will always remember what the previous generation did." Do you know what things need to be passed down from generation to generation? Tell us how the world is changing now. You must tell us, and we will hear it clearly below..."
I cried, I nodded, I burst into tears, I didn't know what words to use to say it.
At this moment, I can't speak any language at all, no language seems so pale and weak.
The old man continues to explain some of his funeral affairs, as if he is telling a very simple and ordinary household incident. There is no trace of it that makes you feel that there is a lot of pressure in this regard. The book seems to
It's like holding a suitcase and about to go out.
It's really like going to a very simple party, or a very relaxing event. It's just a very happy thing, and it doesn't make people feel heavy.
"You know? You must know that many things are not as difficult as you think. Some things are just like life, like the ebb and flow of a river. Life is endless. The same is true for everything in nature, completely.
Let's crawl together, so that we can have a wonderful life. I have experienced many things in my life, but I have never regretted the things I have experienced. But I can say it frankly once, I have never done anything I am sorry for.
Regarding matters of conscience, you have never done anything to offend your ancestors. This is our family motto, you know? You must tell your children in the future to be upright Chinese no matter what..."
The old man was getting more and more breathless when he said this.
Really, it seems that the old man's life has really reached the last moment. He is only slowly swaying in the wind like a candle, as if it will be extinguished anytime and anywhere. I feel so worried and uneasy watching.
Mr. John.
He was indifferent, he just sat there and nodded to me.
I know that even at this moment, even if Hua Tuo is alive, there is no way to call the old man's life back. All of this has reached the final moment, and time is passing by minute by minute.
With each passing moment, the dependence that the old man and I had on each other in this world gradually disappeared bit by bit.
The old man looked at me very kindly.
"There is another thing I must explain to you clearly. My son may not be able to come back today, and he may not be able to come back tomorrow. After all, he will definitely come back one day. This time will not be soon. He is doing something better than him.
Life is more important!"
"So after I have no way to say goodbye to him, if I leave early, I don't dare to let anything happen. I must not announce the news of my death to the outside world. I must strictly keep this secret until Najintang comes back. No matter what, I cannot allow it.
The secret is out!"
I looked at the old man in shock. How should I understand this thing? Does this have to be an empty city strategy?
How can I place it here? There is no freezer here, and there is no place for this. What should I do?
This kind of thing is basically impossible, and even though it is the twelfth lunar month of winter.
But if you really place a physical body, the difficulty can be imagined. This place is laid to rest in the grave. How could the old man not lay in the grave? This is a shocking thing to me and it is an unfilial thing on my part.
.
But tears fell down and I couldn't say a word at all. I just shook my head desperately.
Mr. John came over at this time.
"Miss Cat, we will do a technical deal with all this. This can be preserved for at least a week. Within this week, the old man means that no matter what happens in any accident, no outsiders are allowed.
Go and announce that the door of this house must be locked, because in order to prevent others from thinking that the old man’s accident happened, they can come in at will, and all the arrangements made by the old man will be in vain.”
I couldn't help crying anymore.
"Good boy, this is all about fighting them to the end. This is the last game I will play with them. I must not reveal my secret..." (To be continued)
