Chapter 175 (1/2)
The time of worship is set at noon. As soon as the time comes, Gu luanqing and Xiang Luxing are called back. Considering Xiang Luxing's bad health, he is asked to stay in the room for them to go back.
Gu luanqing set out behind Xiang Chaojue.
Gu luanqing is always paying attention to Xiang Chaojue's emotional changes. She is afraid that she can't hold him in time when he collapses.
She couldn't go through it with him for so many years. This time, she couldn't miss it any more.
So far, Xiang Chaojue is more nervous than sad.
It turned out that he would still be nervous. Gu luanqing was relieved.
In order to ease his tension, Gu luanqing talks to him all the time on the road. Anyway, Xiang Defeng is not in the car, so she can be presumptuous.
”Do you come to worship once a year?” She asked cautiously.
Xiang Chaojue finally turned his head to look at her, and the sharpness in his eyes became soft. He calmly satisfied her curiosity.
”At ordinary times, there is a special person at home to clean up and worship, like this, the only time when all the people go out is on the day of death and Qingming.”
Gu luanqing tilted his head to see his face, ”then you only come here once a year?”
”Well.”
Just once is enough for him to digest.
Gu luanqing was afraid that further inquiry would only make him sad. He simply shut up. Xiang Chaojue suddenly remembered that she had lost her mother's single parent family, and asked, ”I heard that your mother was also buried in an accident. Is that true?”
He knew that such a question might arouse her sorrow, but he could not control himself now. The devil in his heart was restless, hoping that someone could feel the pain with him.
This kind of bad taste made him self loathing.
However, Gu luanqing was very calm and replied without thinking, ”in fact, I don't know the date of my mother's death. I only know that she died in the same accident as her uncle and aunt in the same year.”
Why didn't Gu luanqing know?
She was also not clear. When she learned of her mother's death, her father had even finished the funeral. She tried to evade her doubts about why she didn't attend the funeral on the grounds of her daughter's physical discomfort caused by her grief.
Gu luanqing felt vaguely that her father was suffering, so she never asked about her mother. In addition, she kept the pain of her mother's death in her heart. For a long time, it gradually became a knot in her heart. Since she had no way to solve it, she could not forget it.
”It's a little heartless, but I really forget that my impression of my mother is still in my childhood. I still regret that I can't see my mother for the last time.” Gu luanqing drooped his eyes, and a bitter smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Chaojue's restless heart suddenly calms down, and his sense of guilt attacks his heart like a flood of beasts, but he can't do anything, and even apologizes.
”I'll have a chance to explain the past to my uncle.” He stroked her slender knuckles to Chao Jue, and then clasped them tightly.
Gu Luan raised the corner of his mouth, ”you're right.”
Several cars entered the desolate suburbs from the busy streets, and finally stopped at the gate of the cleared cemetery.
Xiang de Feng got out of the car, and the security guard of the cemetery came to say hello to him, ”it's been a year. How are you doing?”
”Thanks to you, I don't have to worry about my son and daughter-in-law's bad underground life, so I can sleep safely for a year.” Respond politely to de Feng.
They exchanged greetings for a while. The security guard turned and opened the closed iron door, ”please come in.”
Today's sunshine is very warm, but it's not dry at all. It can be regarded as the beauty of heaven.
Before going in, Xiang Defeng took a look at the decoration that hasn't changed for more than ten years. He couldn't help sighing, ”for more than ten years, I don't know how you are living in the yellow spring.”
He turned his head and looked at Gu luanqing behind him. His face sank. ”Don't think that I let you come here to admit you. You don't need to do anything. Just don't say anything. Do you hear me?”
If he can, he really wants to leave the woman who is in the way here forever after the worship, just as a servant for his son and daughter-in-law in the underground.
”Good --” Gu luanqing subconsciously agreed, and suddenly remembered that he said he could not speak, and quickly covered his mouth.
Xiang Chaojue was amused by her serious appearance and pulled her to his side.
He glared at De Feng, looked at Chao Jue, and snorted coldly, ”it's good to know. OK, let's go in.”
A group of people stepped on the concrete steps with heavy steps.
The procedures of worship are those trivial rituals, and the items with abundant financial resources to worship at home are undoubtedly some expensive delicacies.
Xiang Defeng put two bunches of chrysanthemums next to the sacrifice. He looked at the group photo of two people on the tombstone and said with a bitter smile, ”son, this is the flower you planted yourself. After you left, no one took care of it. The flower is dying. But I hired many flower experts and gardeners to save it.”
Gu luanqing quietly looked behind her. She looked at the old photo. The two people in the photo were still very young, standing side by side.
Xiang Chaojue's father and mother are very beautiful. Xiang Chaojue not only inherited his mother's three-dimensional facial features, but also inherited his father's clear outline, and even inherited their cool and elegant temperament.
Gu luanqing is very satisfied to see his mother's appearance today.
She consciously stood behind her and didn't interfere in anything.
But Xiang Chaojue didn't want to leave her in the cold. He turned back and put his thin lips to her ear. ”As the future grandmothers of Xiang family, you should give them incense.”
”But your grandfather...” Gu luanqing shakes. However, at the thought of Xiang Defeng's cannibal eyes, she still can't summon up her courage.
