The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

Chapter 656: Human Joys and Sorrows Are Different

Lele has read the message sent by Zhaodi many times, and she can see Zhaodi's despair.

"How could it be so sudden? I called him on Wednesday and he said he wasn't feeling well. I asked him if he wanted to get a shot, but he said he was fine and wanted to wait a little longer..."

Zhaodi sniffled and sobbed, "He said he wasn't feeling well these past few days. I asked him to go to the hospital for an IV drip, but he refused. Later, I noticed he wasn't feeling well, so I asked him about it, but he wouldn't say anything. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that he told me he might have overdosed on the medicine..."

"But I only ate one or two more slices, why would this happen?" Lele still couldn't understand.

"Alas, this may be the last straw that broke the camel's back. His body couldn't hold on any longer."

"I still want to see him..." Lele's tears welled up again.

“Don’t watch it anymore, just remember how good he is and be obedient!

In the end, he only said one sentence, saying that his mother gave birth to two good daughters for him, and muttered, "Lele..."

Tears fell like beads with broken strings, drop by drop. Lele moved closer to Zhaodi, buried herself in her arms, and started crying again.

The two of them couldn't sleep and started crying whenever they talked.

After chatting for a long time, Lele stood up. She wanted to go see Wei Wuya. The young master had been up all day and night.

The noise downstairs could be heard clearly upstairs.

Lele was a little dazed. Why were they so happy?

She could hear her third uncle's laughter, which was no different from when he came to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival.

Lele sighed. People’s joys and sorrows are different. Her father is just an ordinary person to others!

After a whole day and night, and last night was exciting, Lele felt a little dizzy. He calmed himself down and slowly went downstairs.

They were playing cards and gambling. There was a layer of cigarette butts on the floor, and there was unlimited supply of drinks and beer on the table.

Uncles and cousins ​​wearing cross-body vests of indecipherable color, smoking cigarettes, shuffling cards skillfully, and drinking bottles of drinks one after another.

Wei Wuya and Su Qingyuan were sitting at the small table in front of the coffin. When they saw Lele coming, Wei Wuya stood up, went over to hold Lele's hand, and asked distressedly, "You were sleeping, why are you up?"

Lele raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. Wei Wuya's face was also gloomy. He shook his head and said, "I can't sleep. Let me see you, or you go to sleep."

"Need not."

Two people came to the coffin, and Lele knelt down. "Hiss!" He screamed in pain as his knees touched the floor.

Wei Wuya heard the sound and hurried to check, but was stopped by Lele, "It's okay, it's okay!"

He supported himself with his calves, lit some incense, burned a large amount of paper money, and slowly stood up with his hands on the floor.

Sit on the small stool next to it.

On the 28th day of the lunar calendar, there is no moon, but the sky is full of stars.

Lele looked up and remembered the summer when he was a child, when watermelons were ripe and he accompanied Chang Jinbao to look at the watermelons in the melon field.

A cart, covered with bedding, was set up beside the ridge of a field. The sky was the quilt and the ground was the bed. I fell asleep with the stars as my pillow and the sound of insects as my listening ear.

No words all night, just companionship.

At that time, the galaxy was also like this!

Things have changed, the galaxy is still the same galaxy, but now my father is lying in a cold coffin.

Lele looked at the refrigerated coffin quietly. It looked so small, short and narrow.

Dad used to be fat, and he preferred spaciousness to crowds. Wouldn't this refrigerated coffin be too crowded?

After staring blankly for a while, she suddenly wanted to go to sleep. She looked at Wei Wuya and asked, "Do you think Dad will appear in my dreams?"

Wei Wuya nodded, "Yes, I will. Come on, I'll sleep with you. When you fall asleep, he will definitely come to you in your dreams."

Lele suddenly stood up and swayed. Wei Wuya held him with both hands, leaned forward, and hugged him upstairs. There were many relatives in the house and it was very noisy.

Zhaodi saw Wei Wuya helping Lele up, and she stood up herself, "You two sleep here, I'll go and accompany mom."

Wei Wuya closed the door and Lele was lying on his side, curled up like a frightened kitten.

Wei Wuya hugged the person from behind and held him tightly.

It was a little hot, but more of a sense of security. Lele dozed off to sleep...

I woke up in the middle of the night. The lights in the room were off, there was still noise downstairs, and the people around me were not there. Lele shed tears silently - it was a dreamless sleep.

I got up and went to the next room, where my mother was lying on the bed.

The lights in the living room and the balcony were on. Lele came out of the darkness and the room didn't seem so dark.

My mother looked very haggard. Her originally fair face was now dull and her wrinkles seemed much deeper. Her eyes were swollen from crying and her bags under her eyes looked even bigger.

Mom seemed to be asleep, but she was still sighing heavily.

Lele turned to go out, and her body tilted, bumping into the door frame, making a slight noise. Zhang Guixiang raised her head alertly and asked, "Is that Lele?"

Lele turned around again and said softly, "Mom, I woke you up!"

"It's okay. I've slept for a whole day and night. I just have a headache." Zhang Guixiang sat up. "Come, sleep here."

Lele walked over and lay down next to her mother.

As soon as the car arrived at the hospital, Lele was arranged, leaving him with almost no time to think or reminisce.

Because the funeral time was short and the procedures were complicated, she had to do a lot of things, and just the reception was very strenuous.

I have been hosting receptions all the time and I don’t even have time to spend some time with my mother.

Zhang Guixiang smoothed Lele's hair and sighed deeply, "Don't be too sad. He has lived enough. Compared to your uncles in the village, he is quite old."

Lele thought about it and realized that this was true. Many people in his hometown suffered from cancer, including stomach cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and throat cancer... Many men died in their fifties.

"He's had a good life for the past ten years, but he's been idle all day, either watching TV or playing cards. It was really hard before, but who hasn't suffered? But now, no one is as good as him!"

Lele didn't say anything and just listened to her mother chattering.

"I've been very good to him. During the years he was sick, I took care of him wholeheartedly, and he couldn't complain. Even with his illness, his arms and legs weren't deformed at all. Besides the injections and medication, it was all thanks to my massages and care.

That Aunt Sun has the same illness as your father, and is paralyzed. When she's feeling better, she can walk, but when she's not, she's paralyzed. She needs help with her poop and urination. Her son and daughter-in-law live in the city, so she has to cook for herself. Her grandson even dislikes her and refuses to visit her."

"Alas..." Mom sighed again, "Leaving quickly has its advantages. It won't cause you any suffering, and it won't cause your children any trouble. Your dad just doesn't want to burden you any longer..."

In the darkness, Lele bit her lips hard, tears streaming down her eyes, and she reached out to wipe them away.

"Ah, it was just too fast. He didn't say anything, not even his bank card password, and I can't remember it. I remember where he wrote it in the notebook. I'll look for it after I'm done..."

Zhang Guixiang talked a lot, and Lele listened silently. When she stopped talking, Lele asked, "Mom, did you dream about Dad when you slept?"
