CIATB Chapter 524 Funeral
Chapter 524 Funeral
Xu Zhiyang was worried and had no appetite.
Xu Luofan and Xu Luosheng ate a lot and exercised for a while after the meal. The two babies were also tired, so Xu Zhiyang took them to wash up and get ready for bed.
In the past, when returning to Beijing, it was Xu Zhiyang who took Xu Luosheng, and Huo Tingshen took Xu Luofan. Today, he had not seen his father when he came in. Xu Luofan asked,
"Mommy, why isn't daddy at home?"
Xu Luofan felt that he was no longer a child. He could do small things like bathing and changing clothes by himself. However, his father forced him to take him there every time, so he had to give his father a chance to get close to him.
I didn't see my father today, so I felt empty.
Xu Zhiyang was silent and said,
"Daddy has something to do. You two should go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow. Mommy will take you to find daddy."
"Great."
Early the next morning, Jiang Zheng was already waiting outside the door in his car.
Xu Zhiyang wore a solemn black dress with a black windbreaker. The two little ones were also dressed in black. The car slowly drove towards the old house.
Xu Zhiyang spoke slowly,
"Sheng Bao, Fan Bao, let's go back to the place where dad lived when he was a child, which is also the home of your great-grandfather. Mommy wants to tell you something next. Your great-grandfather..."
Xu Zhiyang choked and wiped his tears.
"Great Grandpa left this world and returned to the stars. Grandma is waiting for his reunion over there. Let's go see him for the last time now. Grandpa loved you two little devils the most during his lifetime. When we get to the coffin in a while, you will kneel down. Kowtow four times to say goodbye to my great-grandfather."
After Xu Zhiyang finished speaking, the car suddenly became quiet, and the two brats who had been humming stopped. Xu Luosheng was stunned and asked with wide eyes,
"Mommy, what does it mean that my great-grandpa returned to the stars? Doesn't he live with us anymore?"
Xu Zhiyang was silent and said,
"It can be understood this way. Some people are born in this world, and some people leave. When people reach a certain age, they will return to the stars. We will not be able to see our great grandfather in the future, but he will look at us and you two in the sky. Grow up."
After Xu Zhiyang finished speaking, Xu Luofan burst into tears.
"Mommy, I don't want to say goodbye to my great-grandpa. I want to play chess with my great-grandpa and learn Tai Chi with him."
Xu Luosheng also started crying.
"Mommy, I don't want my great-grandpa to return to the stars. Can you tell your great-grandpa not to leave? Shengsheng likes her great-grandpa..."
The two children cried so sadly that Xu Zhiyang couldn't hold back his tears.
She took the two children into her arms and coaxed them loudly, but the one who cried the most was herself.
At that time, Huo Mansion.
Huo Tingshen knelt in front of the coffin all night. He suffered such an injury and it was only ten days after the operation. His body had just recovered a little and it was not time to leave the hospital. In addition, the knee injury was not healed. Grandpa died. It cost him half his life.
He knelt until his legs could no longer feel, and the pain in his heart was far greater than the pain in his body.
He knows best what's going on with grandpa.
Grandpa's faith collapsed, and he no longer had the faith to live. He was atoning for himself in his own way.
All this is for his eldest grandson.
Huo Ting looked dull. He didn't touch the water and food Tao Shuhe brought him, and no one could persuade him to leave.
He firmly believed that he had harmed his grandfather, and his heart was filled with self-blame and guilt for his grandfather. He was a sinner.
Before he could fulfill his filial piety by his side, he left this world completely. Even because of his health, he was not able to stay with his grandfather in his last days or see him for the last time. Even the news of his death was notified by his housekeeper, Uncle Zhong.
Huo Siyuan brought a cup of hot milk over.
"Brother, please. Grandpa is gone. This is something we can't change. But you can't ruin your body like this. Your knee is still injured and you have been kneeling for so long. Do you still need this leg?" ?”
Tao Shuhe stood back and wiped her tears. She had said the same thing thousands of times. She knew best in her heart what kind of temper her son had, and she couldn't persuade him.
Huo Siyao forced the milk into his palm.
"Drink this glass of milk first. You will take grandpa to the cemetery later. Don't fall down before you get there. You don't have to cherish yourself, but you have to remember that you are not alone now. You I have children and a woman I like.”
Huo Siyao choked up and said the last sentence. Although she hated the woman Huo Ting deeply liked, she could bear everything as long as she could persuade her brother.
Huo Ting stared deeply at the photo of his grandfather, his eyes sore from crying. He had only cried for two people in his life, the first was Xu Zhiyang, and then his grandfather.
The incense on the altar was almost gone, so he replaced it with a new one.
After a while, I drank the glass of milk and felt a little warmer in my body.
When Xu Zhiyang entered the door with two children who were crying uncontrollably, everyone looked over.
The two children were usually very sensible, but they couldn't make sense of their great-grandfather. Xu Zhiyang couldn't coax them anymore and walked in crying all the way.
A family of four knelt together.
Huo Ting looked back deeply and looked at her mother, who was teaching her two children to kneel down and kowtow to their great grandfather.
Xu Luosheng and Xu Luofan kowtowed like their father. When they saw such a scene, they knew that their mother was not lying to them. Grandpa really returned to the stars and would never come back again.
Xu Luofan: "Dad, I don't want my great-grandpa to go. I want my great-grandpa, wuwuwu..."
Xu Luosheng: "Dad, will great-grandpa come back? The story from last time has not been finished yet."
The two children cried so sadly that everyone became red-eyed.
Huo Tingshen didn't know how to coax two children. He couldn't even pass his own test. He held a treasure in his arms,
"Be good, we just can't see my great grandpa anymore. My great grandpa is still looking at us. He is accompanying us in another way. You two should grow up obediently. My great grandpa likes you two the most."
The two children cried half the way in the car, and by now their voices were hoarse from crying.
Upon seeing this, Tao Shuhe went to the kitchen and brought two glasses of juice, and served them to her grandson and granddaughter in a flattering manner. As a grandmother, she had never had a good relationship with her children.
Neither child appreciated her kindness. They looked at the person and then at the juice.
Xu Luosheng: "I don't want it. Dad said you can't take things from strangers."
Xu Luofan: "You bullied my mommy. You are a bad person. I don't want what you send."
At this time, Mr. Huo's friends, partners, students from impoverished areas who had supported him during his lifetime, and many shareholders of the company came to express their condolences. All of them were respectable people.
Tao Shuhe was rejected by her grandson and granddaughter in public, and her face suddenly felt dull. Seeing that it was the old man's funeral, she couldn't get angry in such an occasion, so she endured it for the time being.
The farewell ceremony began. The old man was well-liked and respected in business. He had many friends during his lifetime, many of whom came from other places and even flew back from abroad to attend the funeral. A long line of people lined up in the yard to express their condolences.
Huo Ting endured his physical discomfort and returned the favor with his two babies.
