Chapter 96 (2/2)
”Mom, I'm back.” these days, Zhu Zongshan has been staying in the old house because of his mother's relapse. Usually, his mother's legs are not sharp, and she is usually in the room. Now, Zhu Zongshan doesn't see anyone in the room.
He took out his mobile phone to call his mother. Just as he wanted to dial it out, it suddenly struck him like a flash of lightning and lit up his confused memory. It reminded him of something, something he should never forget.
”Today is the third anniversary of my father's death, my pig brain...”
Zhu Zongshan took back his mobile phone and drove out to the sacrificial goods store not far away to buy the sacrificial goods. Then he drove nonstop to Zhu's ancestral grave and saw a lonely figure leaning on crutches all the way.
Heard the sound of the car, the figure slowly turned his head.
”Mom, I'm sorry, mom. I almost forgot. I know I'm afraid I'm nervous. Follow my dad. You should also remind me that your legs are not good. What should I do if I get mixed?” Zhu Zongshan complained while taking things.
Mother Zhu gave a faint smile and did not speak. Her eyes turned back to the tombstone.
On the tombstone is a middle-aged man who looks like he is only about 50 years old. His hair is neatly combed, but his face is very bad. Normally, he should be in his prime of life, but now he is lying on the ground forever with infinite affection for his wife and children.
Zhu Zongshan carefully arranged the sacrificial offerings, burned the fire paper, lit the incense candle, set off firecrackers and other necessary procedures. His voice was a little sad and said, ”Dad, my mother and I have come to see you. I don't know if you are OK there? If you need anything, remember to tell me by dream. I will prepare for you. I always talk back to you before. In fact, I miss you so much. ”
He knelt down there and poured a glass of wine for his father. He continued: ”just don't blame me for one thing. My mother's cold leg has broken out again. You used to take good care of me. Now that you're gone, I'm sure I'm not as good as you. If you have any experience, please remember to give me some tips when you dream.”
Mother Zhu stood on the side, not saying a word, just silently shed tears.
She is just 52 years old this year. Because of the injury, her face is a little pale. Her hair is casually pulled behind her head. A few strands of gray make her look five years older. She is leaning on crutches with both hands, a little trembling.
”Well, Ma, it's windy here. Let's go back!” Zhu Zongshan finished everything, stepped back, took his mother's hand and said softly.
”Shaner, do you know? The most successful thing in your mother's life is not to give birth to you, but to marry your father, who made me the happiest woman in the world. ”
”Mom, you have to step on me. I'm the catalyst to deepen the relationship between you and Dad, and I'm not the obstacle to your love!” Zhu Zongshan pretended to be angry and joking.
No matter how sad he was, he didn't want his mother to be unhappy. His mother happened to be the one who ate his coquetry and joking the most. Every time he finished, Zhu's mother would smile like a little girl.
”Ha ha... Yes, yes, you are the witness of the love between your father and me, so when can I witness your love?”
”Ma, do you know? I met a master today. He is definitely not that kind of swagger. He is a real master. He even knows your old cold leg, and even knows the heirloom that our grandfather left us. ”
Zhu Zongshan said as he pulled his mother to the car and put her on the seat. With a sour nose, he looked back at his father's grave and swore in his heart: ”Dad, I must find that thing. I will help you to complete your last wish. Don't worry.”
