Chapter 210 After the Funeral
A corner of the sky has been covered by dark clouds, and the sky is cloudy.
On cloudy days, there is always a feeling of loss, and the mood also sinks. It seems that it is going to rain, but it has been a long time, but there has been no rain falling.
In addition to the ridiculing sobs, there were only endless sighs, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Everyone stood in silence in front of Wei Chiran's tombstone.
In a few days, Xia Yilong's hair was more than half white and his face looked very old. Looking at those deep eyes, it has now been covered with a layer of grief.
Compared with Xia Yilong, a smile is better, but the sadness on his face can't be concealed anyway.
She hasn't contacted Xia Lei these days, and Xia Lei hasn't called her, not even a text message.
She didn't believe that he wouldn't know about her mother, but she didn't have the extra heart to think about why he didn't respond.
Although Xia Lei did not come, dozens of Hong's brothers came, standing behind Xiaoxiao and Xia Yilong with very solemn expressions.
At the end of the ceremony, Chen Ming took a look at several people who did not move and said, "Let's go!"
Tan Ru held Xiaoxiao's shoulder, Xiaoxiao and Liu's mother supported each other, and Chen Ming stood behind Xia Yilong.
"However, if you feel lonely, entrust me with a dream, and I'll accompany you... I'll accompany you..." Xia Yilong has not been dripping in these days, and grief and hunger have already made him extremely weak.
"Uncle Xia!"
"Master!"
Seeing that he was so excited, Xiaoxiao didn't have time to hurt his own pain at all. He looked at his mother's photo again and went to help Xia Yilong.
She knew that her mother's departure may be very sad, but she is by no means the most sad person. Maybe Uncle Xia's performance is too fragile to make her involuntarily stronger.
She ate and slept as usual, and even her tears dried on the day of her mother's death. Except for waking up late at night and finding wet pillows, she was really impeccable.
Let's go! Uncle Xia, let's stay with our mother when we have time!" She said calmly and wince at Chen Ming. The next second, Chen Ming helped Xia Yilong turn around and leave.
"Ranran...Ranran...!" Xia Yilong, who was overly sad, did not resist at this moment, but kept muttering Yu Chiran's name.
Xia Yilong's call came into her smiling ears, and a trace of pain appeared in her eyes.
Tan Ru wanted to come forward and help her leave together. She refused and said, "Sister Ru, just help Liu's mother. I'm fine."
He looked worriedly and smiled. Tan Ru didn't say anything. He walked to Liu's mother and helped Liu's mother.
Passing by Xiaoxiao's side, Liu's mother wiped her tears and said to Xiaoxiao, "Smile, cry if you want to cry. Don't keep it all in your heart."
"I'm fine, let's go!"
Her expression is still flat, and it is impossible to laugh without crying.
"Oh, let's go!" Liu's mother sighed.
Hong's crowd had long been divided into two sides. After several people left, the crowd saluted Wei Chiran's tombstone and then left in an orderly manner.
"Smile, Xia Lei...!"
"I'm very tired and want to take a break."
In the car, Tan Ru wanted to talk about Xia Lei with Xiaoxiao, but she refused.
With a sigh in his heart, Tan Ru shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, then take a break."
After ordering the driver to drive slowly, the two also began to be silent.
In another car, Xia Yilong has been muttering Yu Chiran's name, and Chen Ming didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Although Xia Yilong is Xia Lei's father, Chen Ming is not very familiar with it. After this contact, he only felt that he was not as tough as expected. Instead, he was a little weak like a child, a child in need of protection.
"Uncle Xia, please eat something!"
Xia Yilong ignored him and continued to bury himself in his thoughts.
"Uncle Xia, it will be sad if Xia Lei comes back to see you like this."
Hearing Xia Lei's name, Xia Yilong finally had a different emotion in his eyes, but it seemed that it was difficult to find anything other than anger.
Yes, he was angry. If his son hadn't left at the wedding, he wouldn't have died so early.
"How can he be sad? It's too late for him to be happy."
Chen Ming has already expected Xia Yilong's anger. Even if he doesn't know Xia Yilong's people these days, he is clear how deep his feelings for Yu Chiran is.
"How come? You are Xia Lei's father. He would never hope for this."
"If not, why did he deliberately escape at the wedding?"
Xia Yilong was vibrating, and his anger at Xia Lei made his weakness disappear a lot.
"Is your son like this in your heart?"
Chen Ming wants to continue to ask him what position he puts his son in and how many things his father should do.
But he knows that these things are Xia Lei's family affairs, and he should not be involved too much.
Although Chen Ming didn't say anything, this sentence alone is enough for Xia Yilong to think.
After a moment of silence, Xia Yilong seemed to have figured out something and found some of himself. Although there was still unwavering sadness in his eyes, his facial expression alone was much better than just now.
"When will he come back?"
"It should be soon, and I don't know."
Seeing Xia Yilong's current reaction, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
He is now the father who takes care of his brother, and he should be worthy of his brother.
Xia Yilong said, picked up the water next to him, took a sip, began to close his eyes and refresh his mind, and stopped talking.
Summer house!
After getting out of the car, Xia Yilong finally started the affairs of his family like a man. After thanking Chen Ming and Tan Ru, he would also send him away.
"Laugh!"
Xiaoxiao, who originally wanted to go back to the room, was stunned when he heard Xia Yilong's call halfway, but still stopped.
"Uncle Xia, what's wrong?"
"Come here, I have something to tell you."
After Xiaoxiao sat down, Xia Yilong slowly said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, Uncle Xia is old and confused. In the past few days, I only know that I am sad about my pain, but I have relieved all the burdens from you."
Just in the car, he thought a lot. In fact, he wanted to say sorry not only with a smile. The most important thing is Xia Lei. For so many years, he has been so waywardly relieved his responsibilities and put all the burden on Xia Lei.
It's okay if it's Xia Lei who is now an adult, but only he knows when he started.
Xiaoxiao didn't expect Xia Yilong to say this to herself, but she immediately opened her mouth.
"Uncle Xia, it's all over. It's my mother. There's nothing to bear. All this is what I should do."
Without entangled in that problem, Xia Yilong took out half a piece of jade from his pocket, touched it several times, and then handed it to Xiaoxiao.
"This is what your mother asked me to give to you. It's your grandma who passed it to your mother. You have to take it."
Originally, he was going to give it to Xiaoxiao when he got married, but so many things happened at that time, and later he didn't have the heart. It took a few days.
"Damn it!"
There was a little joy in the smile, and he took over the jade pendant and kept looking at it.
She remembered seeing this jade pendant when she was a child. At that time, she also asked Wei Chiran why the jade pendant looked only half a piece.
She still remembers that Yu Chiran's expression was a little unnatural at that time. Now that she thinks about it, that expression is not unnatural, but pain, a kind of pain, but she doesn't understand it when she is young.
In the dark, she always felt that there was something missing in this jade pendant.
Seeing the joy in his eyes, Xia Yilong was also a little happy.
"Remember to put it away!"
"Ye!"
"Do you have any news about Lei'er these days?"
smiled and shook his head, with a little bitterness in his heart.
"I didn't call him."
"Since his mother passed away, I have rarely given him fatherly love. Later, you and your mother came. I don't know when Leier found out about me and your mother, but please believe that we were just in love at that time, and nothing bad things happened during those days."
"Later, your mother fell ill and she cared about you, but at that time, the doctor said that she didn't have much time to live well. I decided to take her abroad for treatment. After I left, you also knew that there was very little time to come back. Lei'er can be said to not only lack maternal love, but also poor fatherly love."
"There are many things that he has to learn to understand and practice when he is young."
"For so many years, I have been immersed in my love and can't extricate myself. It's all my fault."
"Smile, give Leier some time. There are many things in his heart that he can't say. I believe he will give you an explanation when he comes back."
"If you can't forgive him, take it for Uncle Xia's sake and make up for Uncle Xia's debt. His heart has already been hurt by my unqualified father."
Xia Yilong said so much intermittently to Xiaoxiao, and sometimes people will inspire something they have never thought of because of a word or thing.
Just like today, because Chen Ming's sentence is such an image of your son in your heart that makes Xia Yilong think so much.
"Uncle Xia, I promised my mother that I would give him a chance, and I will definitely do it. I will wait for him to come back here."
Give a chance to give the other party is also a chance, because of love, and because Xia Yilong's reaction in the past few days has made her understand Xia Lei's pain and how he grew up.
"Good, good, good!" Xia Yilong said three good words in a row. I don't know whether it was because Xiaoxiao was willing to wait for Xia Lei to come back or saw Xiaoxiao mature.
There are bursts of nausea in her body, and she has been doing this repeatedly these days.
When Xia Yilong found that Xiaoxiao was abnormal, he quickly cared and said, "Are you uncomfortable? Go to see a doctor!"
"It's okay. I'm a little tired. Go back and have a rest first."
There was a vague conjecture in her mind, but she was not sure.
