Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 35: Worship

Views:

The reason why Mei Fang turned back suddenly just now was because he suddenly remembered that his mother had said that Lin Youxi's mother also died in a car accident that year, and the wounds of the injured person just now also looked like those caused by a car accident.

Although that happened when Lin Youxi was three or four years old, she might have recalled this familiar scene.

So after seeing the patient and hearing the boy's crying, she suddenly thought of her mother, and suddenly became sensitive and unreasonable.

She seemed to have turned back into the little sloppy kid who was always criticized by the teacher in kindergarten. She kept doing things to attract attention and didn't care even if it aroused other people's disgust.

This is the pain of growing up without the company of maternal love in the original family. No matter how much friendship and love Mei Fang and Xia Yuan bring to Lin Youxi, it is difficult to help her bridge the gap.

If you plan to be friends with Lin Youxi for a long time, you must be mentally prepared for this.

My compassion has nowhere to go!

Why do you always get yourself into trouble!

Although Mei Fang kept lamenting his miserable life in his heart, his body was very honest.

He held Lin Youxi's hand and never let go.

The Paradise Cemetery is located in the suburbs of Baimei County. Just like going to Jiangcheng, you have to take a bus from the bus station to get there.

Mei Fang was familiar with the transportation in his hometown and quickly found a bus to the cemetery.

Before getting in the car, Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, "Since we are going to visit mom's grave, do you want to buy something for her?"

Lin Youxi shook her head. "I don't know what Mom likes. Dad always brings a lot of things during the worship ceremony, and I can't remember them all."

The truth that the child said unintentionally suddenly made Mei Fang, who already had the mind of an adult, feel a lump in his throat.

Yes, she was only three years old when her mother died.

Six or seven years have passed. What can she still remember about her mother now

"You can buy something you like, such as fruit. As long as it's something you like, your mother won't hate it."

Lin Youxi nodded, then took out three coins from his wrinkled pocket.

"This is the money I was going to use to play games with you... I'm going to buy an apple. Can I buy an apple for three dollars?"

"No, you don't have to pay this time." Mei Fang said, "You can keep the money and treat me to play games later, and I will buy you an apple."

"I'm going too!"

Lin Youxi followed Mei Fang obediently. Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi to pick out her favorite apple, and she took two to weigh together. Seeing that the store also sold some paper flowers, she bought a bunch of yellow paper flowers from the store and asked for a plastic bag to pack them together.

"How come you are so rich?"

Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang curiously, "Don't you always say that uncle and aunt only love Xiaoya and don't give you pocket money?"

"Ah, this..."

Mei Fang couldn't tell Lin Youxi that this was the money he saved from selling their retired legendary account to his classmates. After all, the equipment on that account was all carefully made by Lin Youxi, and Mei Fang was only responsible for producing strategies.

"I found out that Dad had hidden some private money and took it away secretly."

Lin Youxi reminded Mei Fang, "It's not good to steal money from home. Uncle Mei will be sad."

"Private money is ill-gotten gains anyway, and I am just doing justice."

"But I feel sorry for Uncle Mei, too. He said he had already handed in his salary card."

Lin Youxi sighed and said, "Aunt Mei is too strict with Uncle. He doesn't even have any freedom at all."

“Such is the pressure of being a parent…”

"Well, I won't be like this when I grow up. If I get married, my husband and I will manage our own money."

After hearing this, Mei Fang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What husband? You've played too much Fantasy Journey to the West. No normal person would call you husband."

"Then... then what should I call you?"

"Of course they are husband and wife..."

"But don't Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei usually call each other by their first names? They call each other Li Jun and Xiao Xia, and so on..."

"That's true."

There was no reference at all in her family.

"Then Mei Fang, you and Xia Yuan have such short names. Will you be unable to call each other by intimate nicknames after you get married?"

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "But doesn't Xia Yuan already have a nickname? Yuan Yuan."

"Oh, I see! From now on your wife will be called—"

"Don't call me that! I don't like that name!"

The two children were happily talking naughty words in the car, making everyone in the front and back seats laugh.

When they arrived at the cemetery, it was already evening. The humid air made people feel a little breathless and irritable, but fortunately, Lin Youxi felt much more relaxed.

"Do you remember where your mother's grave is?"

"Of course I remember. I come here many times a year with my father."

Lin Youxi counted on her fingers, "I come once during the winter solstice, once on New Year's Eve, once on Qingming Festival, once on my mother's death anniversary, and once on the Zhongyuan Festival. I come five times a year. Now that I came by myself, I can have six times this year."

"so much."

Mei Fang seemed a little surprised.

"We usually come to clean the house only twice a year. This shows that your father loves your mother very much."

"Yeah." Lin Youxi nodded. "Even though my father didn't say it, I know it. No matter how busy he is at work, he will bring me here to sweep the tomb every year... We are almost there. Look, it's the third row from the upside-down stone lion in front."

Lin Youxi skillfully led Mei Fang to her mother's cemetery. On the tombstone was a black-and-white photo of her mother. She had long, beautiful black hair, plump apple cheeks with a row of neat white teeth, and a brilliant smile that left a very deep impression on people.

Lin Youxi's mother died in 2000. She left this world before she had the chance to experience the rapid development after the millennium.

Now is not the time for tomb-sweeping, so there are not many people in the cemetery now. Only the faint sound of firecrackers can be heard not far away.

It seems that someone's family has suffered new pain.

An ordinary child would probably be scared to death here, but Lin Youxi is not an ordinary child.

Our Mei Fang is not a child at all.

"Mom, I'm here to see you. I didn't come with Dad this time."

The two people put down the apples they brought as offerings. Lin Youxi placed a yellow bouquet of flowers in front of her mother's grave, covered it with a plastic bag, and then kowtowed three times to her mother with her hands clasped together.

"Why are you trying so hard..."

"Dad said that the louder you kowtow, the more people below can hear it."

Lin Youxi smiled and touched the red bump on her head, then gave up her seat to Mei Fang, "Can you also say hello to my mother? This is your first time here, and my mother doesn't recognize you."

Since she was accompanying Lin Youxi to visit her mother's grave, Mei Fang certainly didn't care about it.

He knelt in front of Lin Youxi's mother's grave, and imitating what Lin Youxi had just done, he put his hands together and kowtowed three times.

Hmm…

Mei Fang touched his forehead which was also a little red, while Lin Youxi laughed beside him.

"Hahahaha, you hit me too hard! You broke my mother's slate."

"No way... Hurry up and introduce me to your mother!"

Then, Lin Youxi, with a smile on her face, knelt down as well.

Kneeling beside Mei Fang.

Shoulder to shoulder.

I feel sad that I have to stop writing this chapter. I remember that I have written 3,800 words in this chapter. Later I thought of writing a little more to make it a whole chapter and publish it in two chapters, but I ended up stopping writing until tomorrow. I feel sorry for everyone. I will eat less rice tonight.
