Chapter 32 About Life and Death
Hu Tao has heard about what death is and has experienced it before, but this is the first time he has experienced it so personally.
She didn't know how to react, nor could she be convinced that this was true. She always felt that such a scene was not real at all.
Surrounded by relatives and friends, Hu Tao entered the house, and a black and red coffin was placed in the middle of the living room.
Her heart tightened.
Mom didn't know where she came from, and she was in front of Hu Tao.
Seeing Hu Tao sitting in a wheelchair, I immediately became worried.
"What's wrong with your feet? Why are you in a wheelchair? How did you come back..."
A series of questions came to Hu Nuo.
Her mother's attention is on Hutao, and Hutao's attention is indeed on her grandma.
Hutao didn't answer the question and called out: "Mom, where is my grandma?"
Hu Tao's mother did not answer her question and continued to ask: "What's wrong with your feet? How do you sit in a wheelchair?"
Her mother could tell immediately that it was a foot problem, because she wore slippers on both feet.
Hu Tao took a look at the situation in front of her. There were many, many people, some familiar, some familiar, and some unfamiliar.
Everyone looked at Hutao, and it seemed that the world was quiet.
Hu Tao knew that her mother must be worried about her feet, so she said: "I fell off my bicycle at school and broke my feet."
Hutao was only halfway through when her mother said worriedly: "What, if it's broken, will I be able to walk in the future? Does it hurt?"
I'm about to cry after I finish speaking.
Hutao quickly held her mother's hand and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm almost healed. I'll be able to walk in a few days. The doctor said that if I wait, it won't affect my ability to walk normally in the future."
"How is my grandma?"
After hearing that everything was fine, my mother calmed down and remembered that there were still big things to deal with at home. She told Hu Tao: "Grandma is gone. According to the auspicious time, she has been put into the coffin, but the lid has not been closed. I am waiting for you to come back to see the end."
One glance."
This time her mother finally gave her the answer she wanted.
Hu Tao raised her eyes and saw the big coffin again, which was so heavy that she felt like she could hardly breathe.
Accompanied by her family, Hutao saw her grandmother's body.
Lying peacefully, Hu Tao always felt that grandma was just asleep.
She kept telling herself that her grandma was asleep, so she couldn't feel the sadness, and she looked at it quietly for a long time without shedding a single tear.
Only her aunt was sobbing softly. She knew that her aunt must have cried too much and her voice was hoarse.
Hutao saw the last sight, and at the auspicious time as planned, with the help of the villagers, the coffin sealing ceremony was held.
After the coffin is sealed, it needs to stay at home for two days and then be buried.
This is a rural area, so we have our own customs and habits regarding funerals.
After everyone dies, the family will hold a grand ceremony for her, which is even more lively than a wedding.
It’s a lively home with people everywhere.
Hutao came back, but her father didn't come over to say hello to him. Her mother said that he was sleeping and his uncle pulled him from the bed when the coffin was being sealed.
Hutao smelled a strong smell of alcohol on him.
She knew his father's temper. After such a big thing happened in the family, her father was the only one who could drink himself to death.
She knew that many people here today were watching their family’s jokes.
Even after this, it will become a joke in the village.
She couldn't go to the ground and couldn't help, so her cousin sent her back to her room. It wasn't until she returned to the room that she thought of Ling Yechen.
She seemed to have forgotten about him since she entered the house, and she didn't know what happened.
Hurry up and ask your cousin to look for it.
As soon as Ling Yechen entered the door, Hu Tao was taken away by her family.
He didn't come forward and found a corner to stay.
He didn't want to see such a scene at all. He was afraid that he couldn't control his emotions, so he hid out.
Hu Tao's cousin found him in the car outside.
"Hey, my sister wants you to come in." It wasn't until someone knocked on his car window that he put away his phone and raised his head.
The car windows were not all closed, so one could see the people outside at a glance.
Hu Tao's cousin said: "I am Hu Tao's cousin, my name is Wenjie, and my mother is her aunt. She asked me to find you in. I heard that you haven't had lunch yet. You must be hungry. I will find you something to eat."
”
Wenjie is in high school, and from the first contact with Ling Yechen, he can tell that he is a very enthusiastic person.
Ling Yechen nodded, opened the car door, and got out of the car.
Following Wenjie, we arrived at Hutao's room smoothly.
Of course, along the way, he felt countless pairs of curious eyes.
What he didn't know was that from the moment he got out of the car with Hu Tao in his arms, people in the village had already started gossiping, and everyone was speculating on his relationship with Hu Tao.
You can't blame him for this. He drives a relatively valuable car and has a handsome face. He stands out everywhere and stands out.
Rural people are good at everything, especially their ability to gossip, which is even better. In just over an hour, various versions of gossip were released.
Ling Yechen entered the room and saw Hutao's mother and aunt in the room, as well as someone he didn't recognize. After introducing him, he found out it was Hutao's aunt.
Hutao's mother noticed this young man for the first time. She just heard that Hutao said he was her classmate and sent her back because she had inconvenience on her feet.
I am more or less grateful to Ling Yechen.
Ling Yechen called out obediently when he entered the door: "Hello, aunties."
Aunt Hutao was the first to speak: "Come on, come in and sit down first. Are you hungry? Wenjie will find something to eat for you."
Then Hutao's mother also said: "Thank you for sending my Hutao back."
Ling Yechen said a little cautiously: "No, no, thank you, auntie."
Hutao's mother saw him come in and sit down, and then said, "You're tired from driving. You need to rest for a while, and I'll get you something to eat." Then she went out, along with Hutao's aunt.
But Hu Tao's aunt didn't go out. She sat next to Hu Tao and asked about her injured foot.
After a while, Wenjie, Hutao's mother and aunt came back, holding a lot of food in their hands.
Hutao's mother said: "You must be very hungry. Come and eat quickly. First, you can fill your stomach and you can have dinner later."
Hutao didn't want to eat, she had no appetite at all, and stopped before taking two bites. Ling Yeshen ate slightly more than her.
Ling Yeshen, Wenjie and Hutao were the only ones left in the room. The adults had all gone out to work, and they were busy receiving guests.
Wenjie saw that his elder sister was not in a good mood and did not speak. It was quite embarrassing to be alone with a few people, so he found a topic.
"Brother, are you my sister's boyfriend?"
This question was asked to Ling Yechen, with eyes shining and a gossipy expression on his face.
Hutao glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's a classmate."
Ling Yechen also nodded in agreement.
Wenjie looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I don't believe it. How could I be willing to send you back if I'm not my boyfriend?"
"That's right, brother, my sister is shy easily."
Hutao was speechless, but she didn't want to explain. She was completely in a coma and didn't want to speak at all.
Ling Yechen said to Wenjie: "Your sister's leg was injured because of me, so I have to take care of her until she recovers."
Wenjie groaned and said, "Let me tell you, how could I break my leg just by falling on a bicycle? I have fallen so many times before and it didn't break even once. Did you hit it?"
