Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen: Under the Heart
I originally wanted to go for a ride, but I didn't expect it to affect urban traffic. I contacted a tow truck overnight to tow the pickup truck away, and I had to pay for the repairs.
It was like an unpredictable ghost lingering, which remotely destroyed Zhang Yichi's wonderful emotional atmosphere. However, Zhang Yichi was not angry at all in the end, just a little bit dumbfounded.
It was already early in the morning when he got home from work. Zhang Yichi didn't have much energy to think about this time, so he fell asleep.
The next day, August 10th.
Zhang Yichi got up early and rarely paid attention to his outfit, unlike usual times when he didn't care about his outfit.
Looking at himself in the mirror, dressed quite formally, Zhang Yichi smiled slightly.
His body is still upright, and his eyes seem to have overcome the darkness and begun to gather energy again. It can be said that this is the best time he has been in four years.
The weather was still good, so Zhang Yichi went out. The pickup truck was still being repaired at the garage. He took the bus to the flower shop, bought a bunch of carnations, and then transferred to another bus to reach the cemetery.
In fact, there were flower sellers near the cemetery, but he didn't know that.
Because in the four years since his mother passed away, he had never come to visit him. During the first period of his mother's death, he was completely confused, had no interest in anything, and lived in sadness all day long. Later, he got better.
Jin, he just didn't dare to visit. Firstly, he didn't know how to face his deceased mother, and secondly, his soul seemed to have been taken away from him now, and he didn't want his mother to see him like this.
Now he feels much better. After four years, he has finally come out of the shadows and can muster up the courage to face his mother in the best light.
In the past, my mother liked flowers and kept carnations at home, but after she left, Zhang Yichi was in such a state that he had no intention of taking care of them, and the flowers all withered and died.
Zhang Yichi remembered it very clearly, so he bought carnations this time.
Entering the cemetery, Zhang Yichi found the place where his mother slept.
Walking over, he slowly squatted down and looked at the photos and names engraved on them. Zhang Yichi exhaled with a trembling breath and placed the carnation next to him.
"mom."
Just shouting, Zhang Yichi's nose felt sore.
How many times in the past four years has he pretended not to care about the past in front of others, but facing his mother, he couldn't do that.
"It's been pretty good lately, I've come out." Zhang Yichi said to the tombstone.
He used to feel that talking to the tombstone was silly, but standing here himself, he couldn't help but do the same because he felt that his mother could really hear it.
"I'm almost twenty-five years old, and now I feel like time flies by so fast. It won't be long before I'm going to be a third-year student." Zhang Yichi said, "After graduating from college, I worked in our city's library for two years.
I quit my job now and plan to find someone I like after a while. I remember that when I was in college, you kept urging me to find a girlfriend. I don’t have one yet, but I should find one in a while.”
Zhang Yichi's nose is no longer sore, and his eyes are no longer red. His face is inadvertently filled with happiness and a child-like smile.
"I heard from people in the community a while ago that it might be demolished, and a developer wants to build a shopping mall here..."
Zhang Yichi is usually a taciturn person, but today he became very talkative, sharing all kinds of trivial matters about his parents with his mother over there.
Just like his mother used to nag him every day.
"I'm thinking about it now, Mom. I have to live well by myself and live happily and casually. You don't have to worry about me. Pay more attention to yourself. I will come to visit you often in the future. I plan to raise some carnations at home.
, I don’t know how to raise it either, so I’ll ask others for advice when the time comes.”
"I'm very good at cooking now. Now every morning if I cook by myself, I'll fry a bowl of egg fried rice, but it's still far from what you cook. I used to like your sweet and sour pork loin and dumplings.
…”
Regardless of whether the floor was dirty or not, Zhang Yichi sat there cross-legged for a long time and talked a lot with his mother.
As noon approached, the sun became fierce and Zhang Yichi's mouth felt a little dry. After saying a long paragraph, he felt that it was almost done, so he stood up and patted the dust on his clothes: "Mom, I want to go back."
I’m home. I’ll buy some carnations on the way, and then some dumplings to eat.”
After taking a deep look at his mother's photo on the tombstone, Zhang Yichi turned and left.
Feeling relieved.
Life is really a process of being stubborn with yourself and making peace with yourself.
During this period of time, Zhang Yichi's knots in his heart were untied a lot, and the lost souls were brought back one after another.
On the way back, Zhang Yichi went to the flower shop and bought carnations. He also asked the clerk how to grow them, and bought some quick-frozen dumplings. When he got home, Zhang Yichi took out a bottle and inserted the carnations into it.
With so many plants entering his home, Zhang Yichi felt that earth-shaking changes had taken place in his home.
He held the vase in both hands and placed the vase on the desk. There was also a note on the bookshelf facing the desk, which read: The way to save a pool of stagnant water is to connect it to the ocean.
After stretching, Zhang Yichi groaned comfortably and went to the kitchen to put the bag of frozen dumplings into the pot.
Today at noon, he had a great appetite and ate all the dumplings. After eating, he turned on the TV and watched a comedy movie on demand, laughing and watching it for nearly two hours.
The next few days were pretty much the same. I got up early, scrambled eggs and fried rice, watched the morning news, went for a walk, bought groceries, watched movies, read books, drove for a drive, and slept.
Life seems a bit monotonous, but something different appears every day, giving him a little surprise.
Although he was still alone during this period, he was so happy that he truly opened his heart and embraced life.
August 8th will soon arrive.
On this night, he was about to enter the world of reincarnation again. Zhang Yichi made some calculations in his mind, and felt a little emotional that time flies so fast, and he was about to enter the fifth world of reincarnation in the blink of an eye.
In less than two months, I have experienced so many things, seen so many people and things, and gained so many insights.
not bad.
Zhang Yichi commented this way.
In the afternoon, Mo Zhi called and said in a regretful tone that he couldn't make it back today because of his father, which meant that they could only fight on their own in this world of reincarnation.
Zhang Yichi also felt a little pity, but expressed his understanding and suggested that Mo Zhi should spend more time with his father. This was something he longed for but could not get, and he hoped that Mo Zhi could cherish it.
Unpredictable said carelessly that if his old man hadn't run out of money, he wouldn't have stayed by his side and would have gone out to have fun.
After hearing this, Zhang Yichi smiled.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yichi worked hard all afternoon and cooked himself a sumptuous dinner.
No one can say for sure whether you can survive in the world of reincarnation. Eat a good meal before entering. Even if you are about to die, you will have less regrets.
After dinner, Zhang Yichi washed the dishes without any hesitation.
Then he sat on the sofa and waited calmly for that moment to arrive.
