Chapter 657 Where Did He Go?
"No, it was noisy outside and I couldn't sleep well. I felt half asleep and half awake the whole time."
Lele turned over and lay on his back. "Yeah, why was he so quiet? He left quietly, as if he had disappeared from this world without a trace. Where did he go..."
Zhang Guixiang also turned over and lay on her back. "They say that after a person dies, they will stay at home for three months. Your grandmother really did stay at home and appeared in my dreams. Your father is so quiet now."
"Maybe Dad is very confident in us..."
The two of them talked and slowly fell asleep again.
The crackling sound of firecrackers was deafening, Lele woke up, and it was already dawn.
I got up, washed up casually, tied my hair up, and hurried downstairs.
Downstairs, the main group dispersed, leaving only my uncle, my uncle, two cousins, and two uncles from the village.
Wei Wuya stood facing the rising sun.
When Lele came down, he still went to light incense, burn paper and kowtow first.
Wei Wuya stood with his hands behind his back, watching silently.
"Where is my brother-in-law?" Lele stood up, stood next to Wei Wuya and asked.
"Go to sleep." Wei Wuya put his arm around Lele's shoulders, pressed her head over, and kissed her forehead.
Lele leaned her head against Wei Wuya's chest and said, "You should go to bed too. We'll probably start arguing again around ten o'clock, so you won't be able to sleep well even if you want to."
"Well, I'm going to sleep in the hotel. Mom and Dad will come over later."
"Okay, I'm here, you go, and let the children go too. Lingxi is too young, and it will be too chaotic with so many people, and she has never experienced such a scene." After a night's rest, he calmed down a lot and regained his ability to think.
"Let me see your legs!" Wei Wuya pulled Lele up and walked upstairs.
"It's okay." Lele pulled Wei Wuya, "Go and rest!"
"How can it be okay? You still have to kneel for a whole day today. Filial piety doesn't require self-harm." Wei Wuya pulled and dragged Lele upstairs.
When they got to the bedroom, he closed the door, put his hands on Lele's waist, and carried her to the bed. Lele put on his trousers, and Wei Wuya carefully rolled up his trouser legs. Lele's knees were a little swollen and congested, and bright red.
Wei Wuya's eyes were filled with tears from the pain. "This should have been dealt with yesterday. How can you kneel today? I'll kneel for you!"
Lele bit her lip and said, "How about some gauze? We should have some at home. Can you tie it thicker?"
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door, and Zhaodi called out from outside, "Lele, are you in there?"
"Here!" As soon as Lele finished speaking, Wei Wuya opened the door.
Zhaodi held two large rolls of gauze and two knee pads in her hands. She glanced at Wei Wuya and said to Lele, "I'm swollen, how about you?"
Lele nodded, "It's a little swollen too."
"People in the village are very particular. They are filial all their lives to avoid being talked about." Zhaodi entered the house. "Come, I'll tie it up for you."
Wei Wuya's expression softened a little.
"Xiao Wei, go to sleep! Otherwise, go to Shanshui Mingzhu. Your brother-in-law is in that room and is snoring so loudly that you probably won't be able to sleep." Zhaodi said as she helped Lele with his knee.
"I'm going to sleep in the hotel next door. Call me anytime if you have anything." Wei Wuya glanced at Lele and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll come pick up the kids later."
Lele curled the corners of his lips and said, "Go quickly."
Zhaodi tied a large stack of gauze in front of her knees and said, "Try it. Is it soft enough?"
Lele stood up and slowly knelt down, "It's okay, the floor is too hard."
"I have a way!" Wei Wuya came back, put his hand on the door frame and said.
He entered the room, touched the latex pillow at the head of the bed, and quickly removed the pillowcase. "I'll stuff this under the straw later so it won't be visible."
Zhaodi opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes widened, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Wei Wuya took a look and said, "I'll buy you ten pairs later."
Zhaodi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh, I just bought it new, what a pity."
Lele helped Zhaodi tie the knee pads, Wei Wuya held two latex pillows, and the three of them went downstairs.
Wei Wuya helped stuff it in carefully, but the wheat straw was too hard and uncomfortable, so he simply took all the straw away, leaving only the snakeskin bag. He also asked Zhaodi to find two old headscarves and put them on top so that it would feel better.
Wei Wuya knelt down and tried it himself, then he felt relieved.
He stood up without brushing off the dirt on his body, sighed, and bowed to the mourning hall, "Dad, don't mind. You will be happy only when we are well, right? We don't care about what others think."
Zhaodi was standing aside, unable to keep a straight face, so she knelt down, lit incense and burned paper.
He stood up and urged Wei Wuya, "Go and rest quickly. You're ruining the atmosphere by staying here."
Wei Wuya glanced at Lele and said, "I'm leaving!"
He said he was leaving, but he didn't move at all.
Lele also added some paper in front of the coffin and kowtowed.
I stood up and said to my sister, "You're not busy now, I'll go and take it."
Zhaodi smiled and said, "Send him away quickly. If you don't, he'll stay here until night."
Lele lowered her head and bit her lip, then walked silently to Wei Wuya's side.
Wei Wuya took her hand and walked out of the community gate.
The two of them walked in silence, Lele lowered his head, and Wei Wuya's black shoes and black pants were stained with dirt and looked dirty.
When they reached the gate of the community, Wei Wuya stopped and said, "Come in, or I'll have to take you back later."
"Hi!" Lele was also amused, "Well, have a good rest, we still have to stay up all night."
Wei Wuya opened his arms and hugged Lele tightly, but just hugged her without saying anything.
Lele leaned back with her eyes closed. She had already accepted the fact that her father had passed away.
In recent years, every April, I have to be worried and have to make psychological preparations.
If I have to say I'm sad, it's because I didn't see him for the last time, which is a pity.
After watching Wei Wuya walk past the store outside the community and turn right onto the main road, Lele returned to the community.
My aunt came to call us for breakfast, and Lele and Zhaodi went upstairs together.
People started arriving at eight o'clock. It was too hot, so they all left early.
Lele and Zhaodi went downstairs again and knelt in front of the coffin.
They still had to cry loudly. When their tears dried up, Lele and Zhaodi began to recall the past, from childhood to adulthood...
In addition to funeral service companies, there are also Taoist priests who specialize in performing rituals. They have to perform rituals several times a day, and filial sons have many requirements.
At around ten o'clock, Wei Qifeng and Lin Xianglan came with Mo Yuan and Ling Xi.
As soon as Lin Xianglan got out of the car, she ran straight to Lele. Lele came to greet her. Lin Xianglan hugged Lele and said, "Don't be too sad. I'm in deep sorrow!"
As they were talking, Zhang Guixiang also came downstairs, and Lin Xianglan went to comfort Zhang Guixiang again.
There was a special table at the entrance of the building to collect white envelopes. My uncle was in charge. Wei Qifeng took out the white envelope he had prepared and wrote it down.
Lele took Lingxi from Shufen's hand. Lingxi looked at Lele, who was covered in dust and in mourning, with horror.
Mo Yuan was very curious, so he ran to the spirit and observed it carefully.
Lele took Lingxi's hand, walked to the coffin, and called Moyuan, "Come, Moyuan, kowtow to grandpa."
Mo Yuan was very obedient. He knelt beside Lele and asked, "Mommy, where is Grandpa?"
