Chapter 21 The mourning hall of death

When he got home, his mother was preparing for supper, and Li Yun returned to the room.As soon as he entered the room, Li Yun felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket.When I opened it, I found that it was another text message from the strange number.

Little brother, you are so cold... I don’t care if I get on him?My sister didn't ask for your money.

Li Yun looked at the text message and remembered the sister he might have existed.The word "sister" in the text message accidentally touched this thought.For a moment, hesitated.

At this moment, my mother's voice came.Xiaoyun, it’s time to eat.

Li Yun put away his cell phone and sat at the dining table.

Or because she got her son's understanding, the mother was in a happy mood and even laughed at Li Yun's food.

This smile didn't matter. When Li Yun saw his mother's smiling expression, his body reacted. In order to cover up, Li Yun could only hurriedly dig a few mouthfuls of food.

Then he said he was full and ran back to the room.

This made her mother very disappointed. On the one hand, she doubted whether Li Yun still had any grudges towards her, and on the other hand, she doubted whether it was because today's food was not as good as Li Yun's taste.

Just as my mother was sitting at the dining table with a little bit of silence, the landline phone at home rang.

As soon as my mother answered, she immediately came to Li Yun's room.

While knocking on the door, he urgently notified Li Yun.

Xiaoyun, change your clothes quickly... Something happened to your grandfather, let's go to the hospital quickly.

Li Yun just picked up a book together at this time and wanted to cleanse his chaotic thoughts.Hearing his mother's greeting, he quickly put on his coat and rushed to the hospital with his mother.

In the hospital, my grandmother cried in a silence. My aunt who arrived in advance was just constantly comforting her. At this time, my aunt ignored Li Yun and just accompanied her grandmother. In addition, some relatives also gathered in the hospital.

Many of them are not familiar with Li Yun.

Not long after, the doctor walked out of the emergency room and repeated the almost identical sentence: We have done our best.

From the conversations between relatives and between medical staff, Li Yun also learned about the cause of his grandfather, a cerebral hemorrhage.

After confirming that my grandfather had passed away, my grandmother fainted on the spot.My father was rushing back after receiving the news, so my mother and aunt became the chief officers of the scene.

My aunt and sister-in-law hurriedly discussed and decided that my aunt and a few female relatives would send their grandmother home to recuperate first.

The mother and Li Yun stayed in the hospital to deal with a series of medical procedures after their grandfather's death and contacted the funeral home.

My aunt pulled Li Yun aside, no longer had the jokes of the past, and told Li Yun: Your father has not come back yet, your mother is here alone, and although other relatives will also help, you should know that if your father is not here, you will be the eldest grandson.Be more proactive in everything.

After my aunt left with her grandmother, the funeral home hearse arrived.

According to local customs, the immediate relatives of the deceased needed someone to follow the hearse directly. As the eldest grandson, Li Yun took the initiative to assume this responsibility. In addition, because Li Yun was young, a cousin who was not very familiar with Li Yun also accompanied him, while his mother and other relatives took other vehicles to go there.

Along the way, Li Yun just looked at his grandfather's body without saying a word. Although it was the first time he saw a dead person, Li Yun did not have any fear or fear.

After all, he was his closest grandfather, and Li Yun felt more sad.

Unconsciously, the corners of his eyes became wet. Li Yun and his grandfather were not very close. In the past, Li Yun did not understand why he lived in the same city, but his parents rarely took Li Yun to his grandparents' home.

The past I heard from my aunt in the afternoon made Li Yun roughly understand the joints.

Although there was not much contact, my grandfather left a typical feudal parent impression in Li Yun's heart.

Authoritarian and tough.

As I remember, my father was already an adult, but when my grandfather said, "I knelt down, my father needed to do it immediately."

Or because of this reason, parents are unwilling to let Li Yun have too much contact with his grandfather.

As for matters involving the entire family, whenever the grandfather makes a decision, the others can only obey. The only rebel is the only one who resists or is the aunt. Therefore, the aunt has always been away from the family, and the only thing close to her is her own family.

While comforting Li Yun from time to time, the cousin who was traveling with him was chatting with the staff of the funeral home in a low voice.

Because the cousin's residence is close to the hospital, he arrived at the hospital earlier than Li Yun and his son.

Therefore, I know more about the reasons why my grandfather suddenly became sick than Li Yun and his son.

During his conversation with the funeral home staff, Li Yun learned that his grandfather died suddenly and was walking with his grandmother in the park before the onset of the disease, and fell down almost without warning.

My grandfather had no history of any cerebral hemorrhage before, and even the doctors in the hospital felt that this was rare.

The funeral home is located on a hill northwest of the city.The wind is strong on the mountain, and you can feel the cold after night.

After the mourning hall was arranged, the mother was busy receiving relatives and friends who had received the news and arrived one after another.Li Yunze changed into mourning clothes and knelt down in the middle of the mourning hall to burn paper money.

Not long after, my aunt settled down her grandmother and came to the funeral home. When she saw her grandfather's body again, her aunt finally couldn't help crying loudly, and she fainted from the sad place.

My mother couldn't get away at this time, so she could only ask a few relatives and Li Yun to help her aunt to the corner of the mourning hall. After the few relatives finished, they immediately left to help her mother greet the guests.

My grandfather's status was not low during his lifetime, and there were many old friends in the local area, so as time passed, more and more mourners were pouring out.

My mother obviously couldn't handle it alone.

My aunt lay in Li Yun's bad habit and finally recovered for a while.

Li Yun wiped the tears on his aunt's face with his hands and comforted her softly.Aunt, don't be too sad...

That's my dad... Can I not cry... I went over to hate him and hate him... But he really left... I... I just couldn't help but want to cry... My aunt sobbed, and as she spoke, she started crying again.

Li Yun could only hold his aunt's shoulders and burst into tears unconsciously.

There were people coming and going in the mourning hall, and no one noticed a corner of the mourning hall.Only mother, after accidentally seeing Li Yun's aunt and nephew crying together, showed a hint of doubt in her eyes.

In the early morning, my father finally arrived at the funeral home, and staff from the department where my grandfather was living arrived immediately.

After my father arrived, he did not communicate too much with his mother and Li Yun, but immediately coordinated with the staff of the department where his grandfather was in his lifetime.

Since his grandfather was also a senior cadre locally, the unit where he lived immediately established a funeral committee to fully take over the aftermath of his grandfather's death.

Li Yun and his son, as well as their aunt, returned home to rest for a while at the suggestion of their father.

Taking advantage of my aunt's opportunity to drive to the parking lot, Li Yun ran to the bathroom of the funeral home for convenient purposes.

I didn't expect that as soon as I opened the door, I saw a man walking out while tidying up his clothes.

Both of them were shocked when they saw each other.

Li Yun… Why are you here?

Taoist Master Pingshan...what are you doing here?

After saying that, the two looked at each other... laughed silently.

I came here, so I was naturally doing rituals.Taoist priest Pingshan explained why he appeared here.

My grandfather passed away... Li Yun also explained his reason for being here.

Listening to Li Yun's explanation, Taoist priest Pingshan nodded, but looked at Li Yun's face and then showed an uneasy expression.

Li Yun noticed Pingshan's expression, and remembered that this Taoist priest had some knowledge of Taoism, so he couldn't help asking.

What's wrong with Taoist priest?Could it be that I look wrong?

Pingshan did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Yun carefully and asked back: Did Grandfather Ling just passed away?

Well, yesterday evening... Li Yun felt that there was nothing to hide, so he answered honestly.

Pingshan lowered his head, thought for a while and said: Friend Li Yun, I’m sorry... Your face is really bad now!If I make a good reason, then my grandfather... I'm afraid someone will die in the recent period of time!

Li Yun was shocked!Then he asked the Taoist priest Pingshan carefully.

Unexpectedly, Pingshan shook his head: This is just my guess.I don’t know whether it is accurate or not!But if it is indeed as I said later... Li Yun came to Xiangyun Temple to find me again.how?

Li Yun felt uneasy after hearing the words of Taoist priest Pingshan. After that, he met with his mother and aunt in the parking lot and left the funeral home.

The next day, my mother asked for leave from the school, and in the next few days Li Yun and his family were busy managing their grandfather's funeral.

During this period, the second aunt was often with his father, and Li Yun could often see his father and second aunt talking about things alone.

However, the two seemed to have a big difference on what happened and had arguing many times.

Several times I saw my second aunt crying and running away from my father, and my father also looked sad.

On the day my grandfather was buried, my grandmother fainted on the spot because of excessive sadness. Soon after being sent to the hospital, she also left the west.

Taoist priest Pingshan's speculation was fulfilled again.

Li Yun once again took the grandmother's hearse to the funeral home as the eldest grandson.

While feeling sad that his grandmother passed away, Li Yun considered that after his grandmother's funeral was over, he had to go to Xiangyun Temple.

After a while, Li Yun came to the funeral home again. He was familiar with the process of the funeral, so he was able to assist his parents in coordinating various affairs with the funeral home.

During this period, Li Yun saw his second aunt pulling his father aside to have a secret conversation.

This time it seemed that my father agreed to my second aunt's request, and my second aunt hurriedly left the funeral home with a mixed expression.

Li Yun didn't pay much attention, but was just busy dealing with the way he was doing. After a while, he felt the vibration of the text message received by his mobile phone. When he opened it, he found that it was the woman number that was harassed him intermittently.

After that woman got Li Yun's number, she would send some teasing text messages almost every day.

Except for the first time when Li Yun replied, "Get out," he ignored him.

The woman seemed to be very interested in Li Yun. If Li Yun didn't reply, she would post it every day. Li Yun had thought of dragging this number into the blacklist directly.

But during this period, Li Yun was busy with funerals every day and was in a depressing mood. Occasionally, he could actually relieve his mood by watching the woman's teasing text messages. Therefore, Li Yun did not block the other party.

However, the text message sent by a strange woman today made Li Yun feel a little puzzled.

Little brother, sister misses you so much...but I can’t make an appointment with you today!My sister is going to attend the funeral!

After reading the text message, Li Yun didn't understand, but he didn't think much about it. There were still many things to deal with when his grandmother's funeral was done.

But after the second aunt left, the father pulled his mother aside, as if explaining something. The mother had nothing at first, but as time passed, the mother's face became more and more ugly, and she soon became arguing with her father.

My aunt, who was busy on the side, saw this situation and walked over.

Li Yun didn't know what they were talking about, and thought that his aunt was there, even if his parents didn't say it, he would probably tell him secretly, so he focused on his work.

After a while, Li Yun suddenly saw his mother crying and ran out of the mourning hall, and his father hurriedly chased him out.

The aunt quickly walked to her side and gave a wink, and Li Yun followed her aunt obediently to a secluded corner.

Aunt, what's going on?My mother seemed to run out crying just now?Li Yun asked in a low voice.

The aunt bent down slightly and put her mouth to Li Yun's ear: Your sister is coming today.

Li Yun was shocked.

Since learning from my aunt that he might have a half-sister, Li Yun has always been very concerned about this matter.

I have also tried to get some information from my parents and other relatives indirectly.

The result is of course in vain!

The father and mother naturally concealed it intentionally, while other relatives may really know nothing.

Therefore, after a few days, Li Yun's heart gradually faded.

At this time, my aunt suddenly mentioned it, and Li Yun was naturally surprised.

Then a few days ago, my second aunt looked for her father for this?Li Yun asked.

Well, you guessed it right!I was just suspicious before, but your dad told me the day after your grandfather passed away.Your sister is the daughter of your cousin's family.Oh, by the way, you don’t even know your name... Now you are with your cousin’s surname, Wu Xia.I am here today and I guess I will change my surname to Li soon...Li Xia, Li Yun.Humph... Your father's name is obviously prepared for it.

My aunt's tone was contemptuous, but it could be seen that my aunt still admired her father's arrangements very much.

What the hell is going on?Li Yun listened to the fog.

The aunt looked around and said in a low voice: I'll just pick up the key points.Before your second aunt gave birth to your sister, your cousin happened to have a car accident and he couldn't have a child anymore. You should understand these.Later, the marriage between your second aunt and your father was ruined. Your second aunt didn't know what to do, so your cousin and cousin took the initiative to take your sister away.I said to the outside that it was my daughter and I also found a way to get a birth certificate. At that time, I was fooled when I went to check.But your father and your second aunt knew very well about this.It's just hiding from others.In fact, it was mainly hidden from your mother, your grandpa and grandma.Your mother should know a little, but she just pretends not to know.After all, she felt a little guilty when she felt that she had stolen her sister's man.Your grandfather passed away, and your second aunt wanted your sister to come back and attend your grandfather's funeral.I think you should be able to understand your second aunt’s mood, right?

Li Yun nodded repeatedly.

Of course I understand.Regardless of whether she and her father are married or not, my sister is always the daughter of the Li family, and she is the granddaughter of her grandfather. When her grandfather dies, she should always burn paper money to worship her.

Well, that's good that you can think of it.Although your grandfather broke them up alive, where is the blood relationship in charge?But your dad didn't agree at the time, saying that your grandfather had just passed away, so he had to worry about your grandmother's thoughts.Suddenly, there was an extra granddaughter out of thin air, afraid of irritating your grandma.Your dad is filial and considers things more thoroughly than others, so I agreed with your dad at that time.

My aunt was also a little relieved to see Li Yun accept it calmly.

Now that your grandmother has left, it is really unreasonable to not let this granddaughter perform her filial piety.So although your mother objected just now, I support your father's opinion.

Why did my mom object?Li Yun was stunned.

My aunt was a little surprised: I thought you had read so many books and should have understood something.To be honest, do you really don’t understand or fake?

Li Yun had a bitter face: I really don’t understand!

The aunt stared at Li Yun for a while.

You, sometimes I really don’t know if you are really smart or fake!If your sister doesn't go back to the Li family, you are the only seed of the Li family.In the future, your family property and other things will belong to you, Li Yun.Nowadays, you, Li Yun, don’t think about monopolizing it.Your mother is fighting for you!So your mom is against it, and it is also within your expectations of your dad and I.

family property?Li Yun almost fainted, and he really never considered these issues.How many years will it take.My mom is thinking about it now?Li Yun smiled bitterly.

It’s not your mother’s fault. As a mother, everything she does is for the sake of her children. You have to be considerate of your mother.My aunt explained and...

And what?Li Yun was a little annoyed when he saw his aunt looking reluctant to speak.

When my aunt saw Li Yun anxious, she hurriedly continued: Maybe you have more sisters out this time.

What?Li Yun completely collapsed, and just had an older sister come out, and another younger sister comes here.

It’s your cousin Kong Xiaoxi!My aunt has always suspected that she is probably your father's kind.After your grandfather died, your second aunt asked to divorce your second uncle and firmly compete for Xiaoxi's custody.This is a coincidence... It is obvious that it is to burn the bridge across the river.Once your grandfather dies, the obstacle between your second aunt and your dad completely disappears!Your second aunt is not scruples.

My aunt looked mysterious.

What, aunt, do you know that my dad and second aunt have been in contact?Li Yun was stunned. Li Yun never told his aunt about the scene he saw in his father's office.

Ah I've always known!What's strange about it... Your dad has always had an affair with your second aunt, which shows that your dad has deep affection and never forgets his old love. If it weren't for this, I would have despised him as a kind and righteous person. How could he still like him... Um!

The aunt quickly covered her mouth with her hands, and she suddenly realized that such words did not seem to be suitable to say them in front of Li Yun, the little lover.

Li Yun was indeed a little unhappy and said sourly: Aunt, you are also a person who is deeply in love and does not forget your old love, so you can't let go of my dad until now, right?

My aunt quickly coaxed Li Yun: Don’t talk nonsense, my aunt is yours now, just know this.And this place is not suitable for talking about this, so hurry up and go to the main business.

It's finished.

He turned around and looked at his grandmother's body, his face full of regret, and quickly put his hands together: Amitabha, Amitabha, don't blame Mom... My daughter is really unintentional.

When I remembered the sad part, I actually burst into tears again.

Li Yun also realized that saying these words in front of his grandmother's body was really disrespectful, so he quickly went to his grandmother's spirit to burn incense to pray for his grandmother to calm his conscience.

A conversation was just a clip from this funeral.With the continuous arrival of mourning relatives and friends, Li Yun and his aunt still have time to consider the emotions that the two cannot tell outsiders.

Li Yun and his aunt were busy, and the father there seemed to have finally done his mother's ideological work.After the two returned to the mourning hall, their aunts and nephews were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
