There is no preview in life.
Death sometimes comes without warning.
The ever-changing life has never been smooth sailing. When people have the ability to enjoy happiness, they are always accompanied by various disasters, pains and fears...
Caught off guard, the old lady went.
It would be a pity for Bai Muchuan that it was too late to say goodbye, and it was too late to present their big gift for her
With a heavy heart, Xiang Wan slowly approached Bai Muchuan and held his hand.
"Congratulations."
Bai Muchuan held her back, tightly, firmly.
"Today we—can't celebrate."
"Yeah." Xiang Wan nodded.
"We won't—we won't be able to celebrate anymore."
"I understand." Xiang Wan replied softly.
When Bai Muchuan looked over seriously, she nodded again to show her caution and understanding.
Bai Muchuan: "I think grandma wants us to remember her. She has always been like this, a very willful old lady who needs attention and is afraid of being left alone, so she specially chose such a day..."
Listening to his description, Xiang Wan thought of the cheerful look of the old lady.
And those funny moments of the old lady when she went to Bai's house.
Such a person suddenly disappeared like this.
She felt uncomfortable thinking about it, and her voice choked up, "There is no conflict. Both red and white are happy events."
"It's good that you understand. Let's go now then."
"Yeah." No matter what he said, Xiang Wan just nodded.
Seeing how obedient she was, Bai Muchuan moved his lips and spoke out slowly, "Maybe they will show some embarrassment. Today... the timing is really unlucky."
They got a marriage certificate.
Grandma went.
A day of great joy and great sorrow.
Of course, the Bai family will not give them a good face.
"I'm fine." Xiang Wan looked at him calmly.
At this time, the only thing she could give Bai Muchuan was calmness and patience.
If she is messed up and annoyed, his mood may be worse.
"Let's go, don't delay."
Bai Muchuan hummed, and led her out with red eyes.
The two of them were silent all the way, the atmosphere was abnormally cold, even Quan Shaoteng chose to remain silent.
The place they went was not the birthday banquet prepared by the Bai family for the old lady, but the funeral home in Kyoto.
Just when they faced the national emblem and swore to be husband and wife forever, grandma's body was being transported from the hospital to the funeral home.
Quan Shaoteng drove Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan to the funeral parlor. There were people coming and going, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.
The only difference is that there is no laughter here, and everyone's face is either heavy or sad.
Quan Shaoteng parked the car, turned his head, "Xiaobai..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Muchuan interrupted softly: "I'm fine, you can go back first. You can come again when the memorial service is held!"
Quan Shaoteng frowned, "I'll accompany you in, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear your state."
Bai Muchuan sneered, "Can they still eat me?"
Quan Shaoteng: "..."
He stopped talking.
After all, it's the Bai family's housework, so it's not easy for him to interfere.
Moreover, when he parked the car, he had already seen Bai Muxuan standing on the steps.
"Oh. Alright! If you need help, just say hello, buddies are always on call."
"Understood." Bai Muchuan patted him on the shoulder, "Go back and tell Huang He that he has to worry about the team affairs. I may not be able to take care of it these two days—"
Quan Shaoteng: "Why tell him? Treat me as a dead person?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he saw the funeral parlor close in front of him, and swallowed the ending again.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Feel wrong again.
He tapped his forehead: "You can rest assured, I will make arrangements."
I also feel wrong!
He slumped on the chair, "This fucking place is really not a good place."
"..."
"If you live, why die?"
"..."
No one answered him.
Since life, why die
There are no ifs in life, and the setting of life cannot be controlled by oneself.
…
When Bai Muchuan went up the steps, Bai Muxuan saw them.
He took two steps forward to greet him, then stopped, "You are finally here."
Bai Muchuan hummed, "Where's grandma?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and he was extremely depressed. This was the first time Bai Muxuan had seen him for so many years.
As a result, those words of blame could not be uttered.
"They're changing her old man's shroud. See you later."
Bai Muchuan: "Who will change it for her?"
Bai Muxuan sighed, "Originally there was a staff member here who was responsible for the replacement. But we let Mama Li go. The old lady is used to Mama Li serving, so she might not be used to it and be unhappy if she was replaced by someone else."
Bai Muchuan nodded, "Then give Mama Li some more money."
Bai Muxuan: "I understand. Mama Li doesn't mind."
Bai Muchuan glanced at him, "Let's go, lead the way."
The funeral parlor is very large, and it is difficult to find a place without guidance.
Funeral ceremonies have developed to this day, and the industry is already very mature. The one-stop service does not require the family members of the deceased to take care of it. When a person dies in the hospital, there will be professional personnel responsible for guiding the family members and helping with the process. What needs to be done, what rituals are needed, they are very familiar. What the family wants to do is simple, and it will be done quickly. For a respectable person like the old lady of the Bai family, it will be a little more complicated, but for the funeral service company, it is still a simple routine job.
Xiang Wan followed Bai Muchuan silently.
He takes her hand.
From the moment I got out of the car, I have been holding it.
Therefore, Xiang Wan was the only one who could sense his mood from under his calm expression—
His hands are cold.
Not as warm as before, so cold that there is no warmth at all.
She used to think that it was an exaggeration that the people in the novel would shiver from the cold when they were sad and frightened, but at this moment, she really felt it, and she believed it.
Bai Muchuan's sadness was not written on his face, it was all hidden in his heart.
The old man who left was the only person who gave him warmth in those dark years.
It was in the most critical steps of his life that he held his hand, built a bridge for him, and pointed out passers-by.
Even if Bai Muchuan hadn't said it, Xiang Wan could still imagine that if he hadn't been protected by the old lady in those years, he would not have had a better life when he first went to the Bai's house than when he was in the Cheng's house. Without this kind old lady, Bai Muchuan might not be what he is today...
Feeling his sadness, Xiang Wan took a breath, squeezed his hand tightly, and gave him strength.
Bai Muxuan walked beside them without saying a word. Seeing this little gesture, he suddenly looked over and asked Bai Muchuan.
"You usually don't turn off your phone, what happened today?"
Bai Muchuan was silent for a while, "Do something."
Bai Muxuan obviously didn't know what he was doing, so he sighed, "Grandma was thinking of you all the time when she was dying. She wanted to see you."
The old lady suffers from dementia, and has forgotten many people and things, but he has never forgotten his eldest grandson, the only grandson in her heart, and there is only one Bai Muchuan... However, Bai Muchuan turned off his phone in order not to be disturbed when applying for a marriage certificate today.
"I regret that."
Never had a regret.
It's a pity that I didn't have time to see grandma for the last time.
Bai Muxuan took a deep breath, "Don't be too sad. Grandma's age... can be regarded as the end of her life."
Bai Muchuan slightly lowered his eyes, "When she left, she didn't feel too uncomfortable, did she?"
Bai Muxuan shook his head, "She had a sudden attack, she went there soon, and she didn't suffer anything. Mama Li said that the old lady is also strange today, so she specially asked her to bring a new bright red dress, saying it was a festive one. I joked with Mama Li that she has lived for eighty years, and that her grandson has found a wife, and this life is considered complete. Maybe she had foreseen it a long time ago. She woke up this morning and asked Mama Li over and over again. , her eldest grandson—well, when will you come back."
During that brief pause, Bai Muxuan spoke very lightly.
From a certain point of view, the grandmother's preference for Bai Muchuan was unfair to Bai Muxuan.
However, emotion is the most unfair thing to say.
During the several years when Bai Muxuan was abducted, the grandmother watched Bai Muchuan walk into the Bai family, watched him grow up, and watched him become the Bai Muchuan he is today, just like taking care of a young seedling. points are difficult to replace. In her heart, Bai Muchuan was her own grandson. And when Bai Muxuan returned to Bai's house, the grandmother's mind was a little confused, she only remembered Bai Muchuan, not Bai Muxuan...
No wonder she.
No wonder he.
No one is to blame.
Thinking of this, Bai Muxuan gave a wry smile.
"The old lady is very happy today, and she gave me a jade bracelet that she has cherished for many years. She said that she would give it to my daughter-in-law in the future... Actually, I was a little strange at the time. After thinking about it, I felt..." He suddenly choked up, "Some There may be signs of things, but none of us paid much attention."
