Summer is not late, good day is good

Chapter 174

She was shocked and sat up from the bed in shock, even forgetting that she was naked, "What happened?"

"Lulu, your dad has gone..." Zhou Lan said at the other end.

"My dad?" She didn't know who she was talking about for a moment.Also, does "gone" mean... dead?She couldn't believe it... hoped she was wrong...

"Yes! It's your own father! It's been several days since he was found dead at home this morning! He committed suicide!"

"Mom, then I'll be right back!" She thought of the biological father who was hidden deep in her memory, no matter what, he was also her father...

"And Xiaochen, she can't get through on the phone no matter what, you call her together!"

"It's good to know!" She threw the phone away and began to search for clothes. She was in a hurry, but she couldn't find anything.

It was Chen An who found out all the clothes inside and out for her. Seeing that she was in such a panic, he simply put them on one by one for her, asking, "What happened?"

She helplessly pulled up her clothes and trousers, and said urgently, "My dad committed suicide, I have to go back and have a look!"

He listened, and without further words, he helped her tidy up her clothes even more quickly, then pushed her into the bathroom, asked her to freshen up, and called Sha Lin himself, "Sha Lin, book me four tickets to Hangzhou as soon as possible. !"

When she finished grooming and came out of the bathroom, Sharin called back just in time, and the most suitable flight ticket was three hours later.

"Okay, four! Order now!"

"Four?" She asked in surprise, "To order that many? Are you going too?"

"Of course I'm going!" He said firmly, then went to the guest room and called Shu Kai.His decision, Shu Kai must go too!

When he returned, she was already packing her luggage, still a bit busy.He walked over, pushed her aside to rest, and tidied up in an orderly manner, and soon, he packed it up, "It's enough to bring these, and you don't need to clean up the loose ones. There should be a change of clothes for him at home, but I don't have any. Buy it locally! Where's Xiaochen? Have you got in touch?"

She shook her head, "The phone has been disconnected!" Xiaochen must go back, she is a child awarded to her father...

"Let Sha Lin go directly to her house to pick her up! It's almost time after breakfast!" He took her by the hand and went to the restaurant.

Four or ten minutes later, Sha Lin came to Yunhu to pick them up, but told them that Xiaochen was not at home at all.

Not being home so early can only mean that she probably didn't come back to sleep at night...

Xia Wanlu was even more anxious, so she turned to Shu Kai, "Shu Kai, where is she going? Didn't she often come back to sleep before?"

"No... I remember that I usually come back... As for where I went, I don't know..." Shu Kai looked confused. After all, he and Xiaochen are just neighbors, and men and women are different. Xiaochen's whereabouts are so clear.

"Forget it, don't wait for her! Let's go first and contact her when we arrive. It's the same to let her come by herself, what do you think?" Zuo Chen'an made up his mind, but still asked for her consent.

She nodded, it seemed that this was the only way...

After the plane arrived at Xiaoshan Airport, a driver from Hangzhou drove to pick them up and took them directly to the funeral home in their hometown. There were only a few people in the funeral home, and it was very deserted.

Traditionally, this funeral is usually a lively affair, the more people there are, the better the reputation will be.Although this set is very pedantic, but the custom has been around for a long time, and the world likes to comment and compare, the scene in front of us can be regarded as shabby.

As soon as Xia Wanlu and his party came, the people inside greeted them. They were several small leaders of her father's unit, and one of them was the chairman of the labor union, which she recognized.

"Lulu, you are back! Your mother just left!" The union chairman greeted her.

She nodded, "Thank you."

In fact, she knew very well that her father's popularity was extremely poor all his life, how many people could come to the funeral home after leaving?Even these few had no choice but to take turns sitting here for a few days because they were employees of the unit and had to come forward.As for her mother, she understands better, it's rare to be able to take a look around, after all, she was already an ex-wife more than ten or twenty years ago.And Shu Kai didn't have the obligation to accompany her back, but she knew that even if Chen An didn't ask, Shu Kai would definitely be with her, because he really claimed to be her real brother...

All the people present here are men, Xia Wanlu wondered if she should give cigarettes, but she came from BJ in a hurry and didn't bring anything, she was embarrassed, the driver of Zuo Chenan took out the cigarettes and unpacked the whole pack.

When the chairman of the trade union saw the famous cigarettes worth several thousand yuan, his attitude suddenly became very good. At the same time, he also noticed what kind of car was parked in the distance, so he knew that the man in front of him was extraordinary.

She glanced at him gratefully, it was hard for him to be thoughtful, it was nice to have him...

About her marriage to him, she only called her parents later and told her that she never came back to hold the wedding, so the villagers still don’t know the identity of Zuo Chen’an. , the old Xia Quan knows, Jiuquan should be smiling.

Does father Izumi know?She looked in the direction of the portrait, and her father's appearance was really blurred in her memory. Father, do you still remember her as a daughter?

She approached, lit incense, Chen An and Shu Kai also followed, and the three of them put incense on their father together.

She didn't know what to do next.She has never experienced funeral matters, and she has been away from home for too long. She was about to ask the chairman of the trade union, but found that Chen An was already talking to him.

Chen An has seen the scene before, and the memorial service he attended probably belonged to the Y TV news. He will figure out what to do. What needs to be understood is just a slight difference in the customs of the two places. Thinking about it this way, It can be regarded as relaxing, and everything is simply handed over to him.

Her decision was right, and Chen An really handled it in an orderly manner.And because of their arrival, more people came to the funeral parlor, and some of them were watching the fun.This hometown was originally a small place, and the east gate turned to the west gate, and there were many acquaintances. I heard that Lao Xia's daughter came back from BJ and brought a very handsome rich man, so the old acquaintances came to have a look. Look, I'm here to pay homage to Lao Xia, no, it should be said that I'm here to pay homage to Lao Xia, and take a look at the excitement...

She looked at those fellow villagers, and many of them were laughing. She didn't mind it. Others didn't have the obligation to grieve. In fact, even she didn't shed tears. She just felt gloomy and uncomfortable.

She always stares at the portrait of her father in a daze.She should have not seen her father for several years. I don't know if my father has grown old?This portrait is a photo taken a few years ago, with handsome features and black hair.

Her father was an extremely handsome man when he was young, and thanks to this, she and Xiaochen have inherited his father's appearance, which can be regarded as elegant and beautiful without overwhelming the country.When he was young, his father played, played, played and sang. He was proficient in everything, but he was very talented. It was just that he was frustrated in the work unit, so he was always depressed and complained.Later, he became obsessed with gambling and became addicted to it ever since.Gambling is bound to be associated with alcoholism. After gambling and alcoholism, my father has completely changed. As long as he has money, he will use it to gamble. Later, even if he has no money, he will borrow money or even secretly sell his mother’s jewelry to cheat her and Xiaochen. I went to gamble with lucky money, lost the bet, and when I was drunk, I beat my mother and beat my daughter to vent my anger. When I was sober, I cried bitterly and regretted it.

In short, Xia Wanlu never remembered that her father laughed, either because she was furious, unhappy, or repenting in despair...

This suicide, I heard that I borrowed too much usury, and I can't pay it anymore. I left a suicide note, regretting my life, and said I am sorry for my two daughters...

Doing white things is very hard. For several days in a row, I almost stay up all night.

As a daughter, she should keep watch, but Shu Kai and Chen An don't have to.However, no matter how much she urged the two of them to go back to rest, the two men refused, but she, when she couldn't bear it anymore, was able to sleep intermittently for several hours leaning on Chen An's shoulder.

According to the custom, people will be invited to cry for the spirit at night.

That scene was very sad, even if it was not related to anyone, it would be said to tears, not to mention that she was his biological daughter after all.So, following behind the weeping spirit, she also burst into tears.

Chen An was beside her, holding her hand.

His hands are a little cold, but they are very comfortable...

It was a long time after the cry was over, and the tears on her face were still dry. He gently put his arms around her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

She understood his intentions, smiled sideways, and her tears were shining, "I'm not sad, really. In fact, the end of a painful life is a kind of relief."

He looked at her serious expression, for no reason, somewhere in his heart, there was a sudden twitching pain...

She told him her father's life, and finally sighed, "When he brought us pain, he himself was also suffering. If a person lives in this world without laughter, what is the point of living? His life , ended many years ago..."
