The whole room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness because of the old lady's passing.
Although the old lady had a venomous mouth and liked to talk about you, so she was not well liked by others, but when she passed away, everyone seemed to suddenly feel that they had lost something.
My heart felt empty.
The only unaffected doctor at the scene, who was used to seeing life and death, whispered beside Yu Donglai: "The old lady has left, we still have to deal with the following matters as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Yu Donglai nodded.
He walked over and whispered to Yu Jin: "Yu Jin, your grandma has left. Get out of the way. We have to deal with the rest."
Yu Jin didn't seem to hear, she still held her grandma's hand, feeling the last bit of warmth, and reluctantly let go.
When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to come forward to disturb him.
Growing up, the one who had the best relationship with the elderly was Yu Jin.
He must be the saddest person in the house when his grandma passes away.
"Yu Jin..."
Jiang Muqing's eyes were red, and she held Yu Jin's hand, feeling the strength in his hand, and persuaded her with a choked voice: "Grandma is gone, please don't do this, okay."
Yu Jin ignored her.
"Yu Jin...I beg you."
Jiang Muqing whispered again: "Grandma will be very sad if you do this."
"Huh~"
Yu Jin seemed to have gathered a lot of courage, straightened up, let go of the old man's hand, and silently stepped aside.
"Mu Qing, please help me take care of Yu Jin in the next few days."
Li Qian said apologetically: "Uncle Yu and I will probably be very busy."
"I will, aunt, don't worry."
After Jiang Muqing finished speaking, she took Yu Jin's hand, went out and sat in the living room.
Outside the door, Li Wei had already contacted the professional white-collar team, and when they were notified, they began to pour in.
The doctor removed all the instruments, and Li Qian and Yu Yao followed the master's instructions and began to wipe the old man's body and change clothes in the room with the door closed.
After all this is done, the people in the professional team will enter the bedroom, start carrying the old man into the hearse, and set off.
"Wait a minute!" Yu Jin suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Everyone was stunned and looked at him.
"Grandma doesn't like others touching her, so I'll carry it." After saying that, Yu Jin walked to the bedroom in silence.
Jiang Muqing quickly stood up and begged in a low voice: "Uncle Yu, although it is a bit unreasonable, I want to hold grandma's portrait and lead the way."
Seeing this, the masters looked at Li Wei, and Li Wei looked at Yu Donglai.
Yu Donglai hesitated, nodded, and said, "Just follow them."
"husband."
"elder brother."
"Brother-in-law." Li Ping objected a little and persuaded: "According to customs, this should be done by you. I'm afraid this girl's current status is inappropriate. After all..."
Yu Dong glanced at him, showing his composure without anger. He was so frightened that Li Ping could not say anything.
This was the first time he saw Yu Donglai like this.
Li Qian and Yu Yao said nothing more.
There used to be an old lady who could suppress him, but now that the old lady is gone, outside, in the Yu family, his words are absolute authority.
"Thank you, Uncle Yu." Jiang Muqing said gratefully.
"You go ahead."
So, Jiang Muqing was walking in front holding the portrait, while Yu Jin was bending behind and carrying the old man on her back, walking very slowly.
Everyone followed at the end.
The old man looked like he was asleep.
Ever since she was little, Yu Jin has never carried her grandma on her back.
This is his first and last time.
Yu Jin lowered her head and murmured to herself as she walked: "So grandma, you lied to me. It's not serious at all."
In this way, the group of people walked out of the bedroom, the living room, and the garden step by step.
In the morning, when everyone saw people coming to the old lady's door one after another, they knew something had happened. When they inquired, they found out that the old lady was dying.
Everyone feels a little sorry for the elderly.
Even though the old man is venomous to his family members, the people outside and the neighbors around him are just the opposite. They are all nicer, kinder, with good personalities and good tempers.
Unexpectedly, he left suddenly.
They also gathered around and expressed their condolences to Li Qian and others.
Li Qian responded one by one, saying thank you for everyone's care over the years.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that they have not taken care of the elderly in these years, but the elderly have taken care of them.
Whenever something happened in the community and they couldn't solve it, they would go to the old man to complain. When the old man heard it and thought it was reasonable, he would help Chao Property Management to respond.
As soon as the property manager hears the complaints from the elderly, he will immediately arrange for people to rectify and implement them.
Because everyone knows that she has a good son, even senior county officials need to speak politely when they meet him.
This feels a bit like in ancient times, where the mother is more valuable than the son, and the old man is respected and respected by everyone because of his son.
However, the old man has never done anything against his conscience by relying on his son's influence in his life, and he has always adhered to his true heart.
After Yu Jin put the old man on the hearse, Yu Donglai was left alone in the car, holding the portrait in his arms, and followed the masters as they drove towards their hometown overnight.
Others drove cars with white flowers on their ears, following behind, keeping a distance.
As early as yesterday, under the arrangement of Li Wei, the funeral hall had been set up and prepared in my hometown.
Yu Jin sat in her uncle Li Wei's car, silent.
On the road, from time to time, there was a "pop" of firecrackers in the quiet night ahead, which was so clear.
Jiang Muqing, who was sitting next to her, still had tears streaming down her face. From the moment she got into the car, he had been holding Yu Jin's hand without letting go, wanting to convey some of her warmth to him.
At this time, she didn't know how to comfort Yu Jin, so she could only accompany her silently.
The distance from Kui County to my hometown is not far, but because there is a mountain road that is not easy to walk, it takes some time, probably more than 2 hours.
Li Wei suggested that it be done in Kui County, which would be convenient no matter what he did, but Yu Donglai promised the old lady that he would be sent back and buried with the old man.
After a period of turbulence, the convoy finally reached its destination.
The tiled house was very bright in the dark night, and the sound of trumpets, gongs and drums rang out the moment they entered the hearse driveway.
After getting off the bus, the people who had been arranged long ago began to get busy one after another.
Yu Jin and Jiang Muqing were taken to a room.
After a while, Li Qian came over with a piece of green clothing, handed it to Yu Jin and said, "Yu Jin, it's time to change."
Yu Jin took it and put it on silently.
Li Qian took another filial piety handkerchief and put it on him, and then pinned a small white flower on her chest.
After getting dressed, Yu Jin went to the mourning hall alone, knelt on the ground, and began to burn paper money to keep vigil.
Jiang Muqing got up and came to the room and asked Li Qian, "Auntie, what about me?"
"You don't have to."
Li Qian explained: "Don't wear this kind of thing randomly. If your parents find out, they will be angry. We can't do such a thing."
Although she and Yu Jin are now boyfriend and girlfriend, they also like her very much.
But after all, she hasn't entered the house yet. Now she is wearing green clothes and mourning flowers to watch the old man's funeral. It is neither emotionally nor rationally appropriate.
"But……"
Li Qian stretched out her hand and interrupted: "Mu Qing, please stop talking. Auntie has accepted your wishes, but I don't want your parents to complain and be angry with us afterwards and say something wrong with our Lao Yu family."
"Oh well."
Jiang Muqing compromised and said, "Then I'll go help with other things."
So in the mourning hall, a young and sweet girl who was not wearing sackcloth or wearing mourning clothes began to shuttle among the crowd, doing what she could, and became busy.
Whether serving food or water, or receiving guests, he is very skillful, not like a student who knows nothing.
Many people don't know her and don't know who she is.
When guests from around came to express their condolences and asked about her, she would always reply: "I am Yu Jin's future wife."
Li Qian and Yu Donglai saw all this.
Li Qian: "Mu Qing, this girl is really getting better and better the more I look at her."
Yu Donglai also sighed: "Yes, she helped a lot tonight and never rested. Compared to Yu Jinlai, she is much more mature in some aspects."
"Girls are much more mature than boys at the same age."
Li Qian said: "Before, this girl Mu Qing wanted to ask me for a green dress and was going to wear sackcloth to show her mourning, but I rejected her and she seemed a little disappointed."
"It's right to refuse this kind of thing. Children are not sensible. As adults, we can't mess around."
Yu Donglai said: "It was already inappropriate for her to go out carrying the portrait. We can't let her parents think that our family doesn't understand the rules."
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Li Qian came to Jiang Muqing and said with concern: "Mu Qing, go and have a rest, you have stayed up all night."
"No, auntie, I, a young man, can still hold on."
Jiang Muqing replied: "Go and squint, I will watch for you."
"No."
Li Qian said: "By the way, please help us persuade Yu Jin. He has been kneeling in front of the funeral all night. If he doesn't say a word, his knees will not be able to bear it if he continues."
"Um."
Jiang Muqing silently came to Yu Jin's side, looking at the somewhat lonely figure. Without saying a word, she knelt down next to him and burned paper money together.
One minute, ten minutes, half an hour.
Yu Jin, who had been silent all night, turned to look at Jiang Muqing and finally spoke.
His voice was a little hoarse.
"You don't have to kneel with me."
I was rejected by my aunt before and now I am rejected by Yu Jin and Yu Jin.
Jiang Muqing, who had always thought that she was Yu Jin's wife, suddenly felt aggrieved while feeling sad.
Her eyes were red and she pursed her lips and said, "No, I insist on kneeling here."
"."Yu Jin.
"Do you dislike me? You treat me like an outsider!"
Jiang Muqing said aggrievedly: "Although she is not my biological grandmother, I have regarded her as my biological grandmother."
"No."
Yu Jin looked at the stubborn Jiang Muqing and explained: "I just think that if you, a girl, kneel with me for a long time, your knees will not be able to bear it."
"No way, you underestimate me too much."
Jiang Muqing said unconvinced: "If you can do it, so can I."
"That's up to you."
Yu Jin said expressionlessly: "If you feel uncomfortable, get up and don't hold on."
Just like that, Jiang Muqing and Yu Jin knelt in front of the soul.
Li Qian was a little surprised when she came over and saw it.
He had asked her to persuade Yu Jin to get up, so why was he kneeling there too?
She was about to step forward when she was pulled back by Yu Donglai coming from behind.
He said: "Don't worry about it."
"But."
"You just let them handle the affairs of young people in their own way."
Sure enough, when Yu Jin found that Jiang Muqing beside her couldn't hold on, he spoke again: "Don't hold on anymore."
"If you don't get up, I won't get up."
Jiang Muqing said stubbornly: "What are you afraid of? It depends on which one of us can kneel for a long time. At worst, we will ride in a wheelchair together in the future. Anyway, I promised grandma that I will take care of you for the rest of my life."
"."Yu Jin.
Facing Jiang Muqing's unreasonableness, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Boys and girls are always different.
He can persist, but Jiang Muqing may not be able to persist anymore.
You can't really injure the opponent's knee because of you, right?
"Okay, just get up."
Yu Jin hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Get up too."
"Well, you get up first, and then I get up."
"."Yu Jin.
Because his legs were numb from kneeling, he couldn't stand up when he stood up.
Jiang Muqing wanted to stand up and reach out to help, but she couldn't stand up successfully and her legs were numb.
"."
When the drummer and gong master in the mourning hall saw this, he shouted to Yu Yao behind him: "They seem to have lost their legs. Come and help."
"Okay, I'm here."
Yu Yao came over, holding Yu Jin with one hand and Jiang Muqing with the other, walking towards the back room next to her, and sat down on the chair.
"Thank you, aunt."
Because it was a hot day, Jiang Muqing was wearing a skirt, so Yu Jin could see her red knees at a glance.
Even though I was kneeling on a stack of thick yellow money paper, my knees still couldn't stand the pain due to the roughness of the money paper and long-term contact and friction.
Yu Jin felt a little guilty.
To be honest, he didn't expect Jiang Muqing to come alone to accompany him today.
"You two can sleep in this room for a while, and I'll go and watch the mourning hall for a while."
After saying that, Yu Yao closed the door and walked out.
"Yu Jin."
Jiang Muqing sat next to her and said with some distress: "If you are sad, just cry. It will be fine if you cry. Don't keep silent."
"I am not sad."
As if in self-hypnosis, Yu Jin whispered: "I'm not sad at all."
"Don't do this, okay?"
Jiang Muqing said: "Grandma left with a smile, which shows that she has no regrets and no pain."
"I want to sleep."
Yu Jin didn't want to talk about this topic, so he asked, "Can you lend me your leg and give me a pillow? I don't want to sleep on the bed."
"Um."
Seeing Jiang Muqing's agreement, Yu Jin fell down and rested her head on Jiang Muqing's long legs.
He looked out the window at the endless darkness before dawn, his eyes sad and murmured: "What did grandma say to you?"
"She told me, 'I will leave my little Yu Jin to you from now on'."
Jiang Muqing reached out and touched Yu Jin's head, sighing: "Grandma really loves you, loves you very much."
"She must like you too."
Yu Jin glanced at the red knees under her head and asked softly: "Your knees must be hurting now, right?"
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
Jiang Muqing couldn't help but look at Yu Jin's knees.
Unfortunately, he was wearing long pants and couldn't see anything.
But he knelt for so long
Jiang Muqing said distressedly: "Your knees must be more painful."
"it's wired."
Yu Jin closed her eyes and murmured: "I don't feel any pain at all."
