Chapter 158: Worship Mother
Chapter 158 "Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe" Worshiping Mother
I heard in the chairman’s office the day before yesterday that today is my mother’s death anniversary, and the whole family will go to the Martyrs Cemetery to pay their respects.
Therefore, after working for an hour in the morning, Chen Long asked for leave from Section Chief Zhang. After understanding it in advance, he changed buses and rushed to the Provincial Martyrs Cemetery before Li Feng.
However, the Martyrs Cemetery is too large, with many sections lined with tombstones. Although it is not the day for tomb-sweeping, because the grave-sweeping festival of Double Ninth Festival in September is coming soon, many people still start to come to pay their respects.
bye.
Although Chen Long already knows that his mother's name is "Qin Zhizhi", how can he find the specific burial location in such a large park? If he has to search the tombstones one by one, it feels a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack...
Helpless, he had no choice but to avoid the large parking lot not far from the Martyrs Cemetery, hoping to wait until Li Feng and others drove up.
On the other side, as in previous years, Li Feng had prepared everything for tomb-sweeping and worshiping, and organized her family to drive to the Martyrs Cemetery together. In this family, Li Feng had been working since she returned from college and followed her father to work.
, she is like a mother, she basically takes care of all the things that the family needs to use and prepare during festivals and so on.
The day before yesterday, in Chairman Li Zhengguo's office, he was suing Li Hu for defaulting on a huge loan. After the conflict, when he got home from get off work in the evening, it was Li Jianzhong who controlled the whole family so that there would be no more quarrels at home. However, it was obvious that The family began to have huge emotional rifts due to the problem of capital turnover and huge debts owed to their respective companies. Everyone began to have different thoughts and opinions in their hearts, and they were all fighting against their own little ones.
Li Xiaoling helped her sister pack things for worship. Li Hu was in a mood and did not want to go to the martyrs cemetery to visit the tombs and worship, and was angrily scolded by her grandfather.
As a result, Li Feng put the sacrifice into the trunk of Li Xiaoling's car, sat in the back seat with her father, and Li Xiaoling drove.
Li Jianzhong, who did not go to pay homage with him in previous years, decided to attend the trip in person this year. He sat on Li Hu's passenger seat and escorted Li Hu to Li Xiaoling's car, driving one after another to the Martyrs Cemetery.
The hard work paid off. Chen Long squatted near the parking lot of the Martyrs Cemetery and finally saw Li Feng and his family coming out.
Sisters Li Feng and Li Xiaoling were responsible for carrying the grave-sweeping and worshiping supplies. Li Hu and his father followed closely behind Li Jianzhong and slowly walked to the side of the cemetery.
Chen Long was a bit like a thief, avoiding and following the family from a distance towards the cemetery...
After walking for more than 20 minutes, passing through two new cemetery areas, we came to an old tombstone cemetery. If Chen Long hadn't followed his family here, it would have been impossible for Chen Long to find the location of his mother's cemetery.
There are rows and rows of tall tombstones, and my mother’s tombstone is just one of them.
Li Feng and Li Xiaoling worked together to arrange the sacrifices they brought neatly and orderly on the stone table.
Li Hu stood aside and just watched. Li Jianzhong couldn't stand it anymore. He pushed him from behind and said to him angrily:
"Li Hu, don't just stand there, go up and offer incense and wine to your mother!"
After listening to his grandfather's words, Li Hu had no choice but to step forward, take out the incense candle from the bag on the ground, and light it with a lighter.
Li Zhengguo also came forward to help light the incense candles, then walked up to the tomb with it and solemnly put the incense...
After everything was placed and prepared, everyone stood in front of the tombstone, put their hands together, and bowed to the tombstone...
After worshiping for a while, Li Zhengguo looked at the offerings and the burning incense on the stone table, and said with emotion:
"Li Feng, Xiaoling, your mother's cemetery was selected and managed by my grandfather and I. More than twenty years have passed, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in the world. But only here, everything is still the same.
It’s all the same.”
"Yes, I haven't come to visit your graves with you for many years." Li Jianzhong continued his son's words, "You must cherish the good days now. Back then, for our business, your mother got up early and worked hard every day.
, you have worked hard day and night, how much you have paid...especially Xiaoling and Li Hu. Today, more than 20 years ago, your mother has sacrificed her life for you two...It is a pity that our family business is so big.
Life is so good, but your mother can't enjoy a day..."
After hearing what her grandfather said, Li Xiaoling felt so uncomfortable that she hurriedly approached her sister and held her hand tightly. Tears wanted to pour out of her eyes. Of course she knew that everything she had was bought by her mother with her life. She could not see it with her own eyes.
She has never seen her mother, let alone received the embrace she received from her mother. The memory of her mother in her mind will always be the only photos of her mother at home... How much she envied others to have their mother by their side and be able to
Living with her mother, even in the most difficult and unhappy days, she felt happier than anything else... Growing up, she never gave herself a birthday party to celebrate, in fact, it was to commemorate her mother's suffering.
Death anniversary...
"Now here, I tell you in front of your mother's tombstone that no matter how big our family business is, it will always belong to our family. Therefore, I hope that our family must be united and there can be no differences.
. Even if there is, it must be resolved through negotiation within the family, so that no more conflicts can occur. What happened the day before yesterday... Well, I don’t want to mention it again here. I believe that our ancestors would not want to.
I see our family quarreling and fighting over any conflict of interests! Also, all of you, the grandchildren, are adults and should get married and start a family. So now, in front of your mother’s tombstone, I emphasize once again: You must do it as soon as possible
Find a partner to get married, and give birth to offspring for our Li family as soon as possible... Otherwise, what hope and meaning do I, an old and immortal person, have in my life?"
...As the eldest member of the family, Li Jianzhong gave a heartfelt family lesson in front of the tombstone of his deceased relative. Everyone present did not dare to say a word and lowered their heads in guilt.
Finally, after a short period of worship, everyone packed up some of the sacrifices and evacuated.
After all the family members walked away, Chen Long, who had been hiding not far away and listening, finally came out.
The incense was still burning vigorously, and there were many flowers, fruits and other sacrifices placed on the stone table. Looking at the black and white photo of his mother on the tombstone of the tomb, Chen Long immediately pounced on it, knelt down with a "plop" and unfolded
Holding the tombstone with both hands, he burst into tears, and tears suddenly poured out like spring water...
"Mom, I found you... I finally found you. I, Li Long, am back..."
Facing his mother's tombstone, Chen Long spoke out the long-lost words in his heart.
Which child in the world doesn't want his parents? He seems to still be able to vaguely find some of the hugs his mother gave him when he was a child. His mother's smile towards him is just like the smile now engraved on the photo on the tombstone. It's a pity that once
Her voice and smile, and the warm embrace of the past have become eternal memories... Now, they are replaced by the silent wilderness scene and the cold big rocks...
I wonder if my mother in heaven can see him and feel the embrace he gives her? I really hope that time can go back to the time when my mother was in her arms and teaching him, so that he can feel her mother's love again...
…
Chen Long had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say to his mother, but he couldn't say them out. He could only express his infinite condolences for his mother, accompanied by a low cry from his mouth...
After a long time, Chen Long adjusted his extremely sad and depressed mood, stood up slowly, bowed three times to his mother's grave, and reluctantly walked away...
