The day when Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang were buried was fine.
Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei drove to the cemetery early in the morning. After picking up the urn at the storage office, they walked to the designated cemetery.
The names and photos of Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang are engraved on the stone tombstone.
The staff in the cemetery came over, put salt tea rice beans in the tombstone, and then got some soil in and covered it thinly.
The man said to Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei, "Put the ashes in the urn."
Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei were holding an urn alone, Chen Qianqing was holding Liu Huamei, and Lu Zhengfei was holding Chen Qingyang. Originally, Chen Qingyun asked if she needed help, but Chen Qianqing refused.
Therefore, there were only two people standing in front of the tombstones of Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang at this time.
Chen Qianqing bent down and put the urn in, his expression was a little dazed, seeing Lu Zhengfei put Chen Qingyang's urn next to Liu Huamei.
The staff said: "The relatives will go grab three handfuls of soil and put it on their urns. This is the blessing of future generations."
Chen Qianqing went to grab three handfuls of soil and put them on the urns of Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang.
Lu Zhengfei stood still, and the staff gave him a strange look: "Aren't you a family member?"
Lu Zhengfei smiled bitterly: "I think so."
Chen Qianqing lowered his head and said nothing. After someone came to seal the tombstone with cement, he took out a white towel from his bag and wiped the dust off the tombstone bit by bit.
Lu Zhengfei squatted down and placed some tributes and a bunch of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstones of Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang.
After finishing this, Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei burned the clothes belonging to Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang at the place where the paper money was burned.
Liu Huamei believed in Christianity, so she couldn't burn paper money, let alone incense. Chen Qianqing watched their clothes burn to ashes in the fire.
Lu Zhengfei quietly held Chen Qianqing's hand.
Chen Qianqing said, "Let's go."
Lu Zhengfei hummed, holding Chen Qianqing's hand and walking forward slowly.
Chen Qianqing sat in the co-pilot, feeling like he was about to collapse, he gasped slightly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Zhengfei started the car and left the cemetery with Chen Qianqing.
Everything seems to have passed. But Lu Zhengfei was more and more worried about the person beside him, for no other reason - Chen Qianqing was too calm. Except for the gaffe on the first day, he didn't even shed tears, and his face was blank, making people wonder what he was thinking.
Coupled with his worrying mental state, Lu Zhengfei didn't know how to comfort Chen Qianqing.
Crying is a way to express sadness, but when you are so sad, you can't even cry.
Lu Zhengfei had never tasted this, so facing Chen Qianqing's reaction, he had no way of guessing what Chen Qianqing was thinking.
After the funeral is over, it's time to start other things.
Chen Qianqing was not worried at all about the compensation for the family members of the driver who caused the accident. He knew that Lu Zhengfei would handle it very well after he came forward.
Sure enough, the day after Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang were buried, Lu Zhengfei gave the compensation to Chen Qianqing.
800,000, two lives, not even the pocket money that Lu Zhengfei gave him, Chen Qianqing only felt irony with the money.
This 800,000 yuan is nothing to Chen Qianqing, but it is very attractive to ordinary families.
When Chen Qianqing packed up and was about to go to school in city a, Chen Qingyu found him.
Carrying some fruit, Chen Qingyu came to Chen Qianqing's house alone.
Chen Qianqing looked at Chen Qianqing coldly, and his expression was full of irony.
Chen Qingyu was a little guilty when she was stared at by Chen Qianqing, but she glanced at Lu Zhengfei and seemed to have the courage, and she said, "Qianqing, before your father left, he had already agreed with me that he would sell that house to... our house."
Saying that, she took out an agreement from her pocket with Chen Qingyang's signature on it.
Chen Qianqing glanced at the agreement and raised her eyes: "Do you want that house?"
Chen Qingyu said: "It's not that my aunt wants to take advantage of you, Qianqing, I really can't help a woman with Xiaohui... You see your father is gone, so you can fulfill his last wish."
Chen Qianqing looked at Chen Qingyu, and suddenly realized that in his last life, Chen Qianqing was really locked up by him, and it might be a good thing not to see Chen Qingyu's face. Because until his death, the original Chen Qianqing felt that he had a family who loved him and loved his relatives.
Chen Qianqing said: "What if I don't agree."
Chen Qingyu sighed and glanced at Lu Zhengfei, who was sitting next to Chen Qianqing without saying a word: "Before your parents died, didn't you know about you and Xiao Lu?"
Chen Qianqing said, "You know?"
Chen Qingyu said, "Auntie, I don't want to tell you about men who like men, but if others find out, what will they think of you? What will they think of your father and your mother?"
However, Chen Qianqing's next move was to slowly tear up the agreement that Chen Qingyu showed him. He tore it up and said, "Chen Qingyu, you can try it, but I promise you will regret it."
Chen Qingyu's face turned pale from Chen Qianqing's actions, she said, "Tear it up, it was originally an accessory!"
Chen Qianqing didn't want to spend any effort on this, he said, "Lu Zhengfei, you can decide."
Lu Zhengfei looked at Chen Qingyu as if he was looking at a dead man.
Chen Qingyu carried her bag and walked away while scolding. She wasn't stupid, she could see that Lu Zhengfei was not easy to mess with.
Chen Qianqing said, "Go back to school."
Lu Zhengfei reached out and hugged Chen Qianqing.
Because of this incident, Chen Qianqing went to school more than ten days late. But after asking about his absence, the class guide generously gave him a vacation and told him that he would say hello to the school office.
Chen Qianqing arrived at the school, put her luggage at Lu Zhengfei's house, and then went to the rental house first.
Zhu Mao has been at the school for more than ten days, and he also called Chen Qianqing during the period. Naturally, he knew what happened at Chen Qianqing's home.
When Chen Qianqing walked in, he was changing sawdust for his little hamster, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Qianqing with an expressionless face, and Zhu Mao said, "Qianqing, you're back."
Chen Qianqing snorted, and reached out to touch the fat that was about to turn into a pile of lumps.
Zhu Mao opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Chen Qianqing, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his mouth. After a long time, he said, "Qianqing, don't be too sad."
Chen Qianqing nodded.
Compared with before the holiday, Chen Qianqing lost weight again. His face was ridiculously white, with slightly longer hair and delicate eyebrows, he was like an unpopular doll.
Zhu Mao felt uncomfortable seeing Chen Qianqing like this, he gave Chen Qianqing a heavy hug.
Chen Qianqing said slowly: "I may not go to school."
Zhu Mao was taken aback: "Why don't you go to school?"
Chen Qianqing said, "Because I'm sick."
Zhu Mao said in surprise: "Qianqing, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Qianqing said, "An incurable disease." He felt that he was going crazy.
Countless memories and voices haunt him, making him restless and sleepless. The calmness he shows is almost an illusion, and he doesn't even know when he will completely collapse.
When Zhu Mao heard Chen Qianqing say this, his first reaction was cancer. He said, "Qianqing, don't give up! My grandfather also had cancer, but he lived for many years."
Chen Qianqing burst out laughing, he said, "Idiot, I lied to you."
Zhu Mao looked at Chen Qianqing suspiciously, and didn't seem to believe his words.
Chen Qianqing said: "I'll come back to see you... I'll leave in a while, I've paid the rent, you can live with peace of mind, maybe I'll come back later."
Zhu Mao said: "Don't! If you leave, I will go back to the dormitory! Xiaohua is no longer here... Qianqing, will you really come back?"
Chen Qianqing said, "Who knows." He also didn't know if he could return to a normal life.
Lu Zhengfei had been waiting for Chen Qianqing outside the door, he said, "Qianqing, you really don't want to go to school?"
In the past, he kept Chen Qianqing from going to school, but now he begged Chen Qianqing to go to school.
Chen Qianqing said: "I can't go." There is nothing to go on. He has never been Chen Qianqing, and he can't become Chen Qianqing. He's been a lame imitator from start to finish.
Lu Zhengfei said: "I asked someone to go through the formalities for you to suspend your studies... You see when you want..." He didn't make it very clear after that, but Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei both knew what it meant.
Chen Qianqing said: "As soon as possible." According to his plan, he should have agreed to Han Huaiyun's proposal, but when Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang died, he decided to let nature take its course.
Whether it is Lu Zhengfei, or the death of Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang, or his future destiny according to the established trajectory, he has to bear it one by one.
Because these are what he deserves.
Rebirth may not mean change, but just means that you have to swallow these sufferings as they are.
After returning to Lu Zhengfei's residence, Xiao Hua who didn't know where to go suddenly appeared. Chen Qianqing looked at Xiao Hua who was meowing at his feet with a heart-pounding indifference in her eyes.
It was as if the cute little life in front of him could no longer arouse his interest, no matter how cute it was, it had nothing to do with him.
It's a feeling of being cut off from the whole world.
Lu Zhengfei said, "Little flowers grow really fast."
Chen Qianqing glanced at Lu Zhengfei calmly, and that look chilled Lu Zhengfei's back - until then, he finally found out that Chen Qianqing's condition had become too serious to wait.
Because in those eyes that should be full of life, there is a dead silence that people can't ignore. He is clearly looking at you, but you will feel that his eyes have wandered away, scattered in an unknown direction.
Lu Zhengfei knew he couldn't delay any longer, he said, "Qianqing, let's go to the doctor right away."
Chen Qianqing turned her head, said nothing, and slowly closed her eyes.
