Chapter 41
Chapter 41:
On Monday, the two got up early, and Jiang Wu drove out the door.
Because it was the Qingming Festival, it didn’t seem like it was difficult for Jiang Wu to take him. The destination of this trip in Shen Mu’s mind gradually became clear.
Seosan Cemetery, Kyungwon City.
Shen Mu was a little confused about this answer.
.
Jiang Wu knew what she wanted to say when she saw that Shen Mu wanted to ask but was afraid to ask.
My grandmother’s ashes were deposited in a funeral home in Jingyuan City, and it cost 148 yuan a year. Later, the Xishan Cemetery was completed. I just started working and joined Huace as an intern. Although the salary was not huge, I got some income. In addition, my uncle came forward. That’s why my grandmother moved here.”
Shen Mu frowned, “Where’s your mother?”
Jiang Wu seemed to be telling someone else’s story, she looked calm and didn’t make any waves, “My mother divorced early and went abroad, where she has a new family, and she never came back all these years, However, according to my uncle, my mother also took part of the money for carrying the tomb back then.”
“Then your uncle…” When Shen Mu heard that Jiang Wu had an uncle, she was obviously a little angry. She really didn’t understand, as a close uncle, how could he let Jiang Wu and his grandmother go The two have lived with each other in Jingyuan City for so many years.
Jiang Wu explained with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong, my uncle is not my grandmother’s biological child, but a child who was adopted at that time. Later, when my uncle grew up, the family regretted it. Everyone let go of the previous suspicion. My uncle has been living in the south with his biological parents. In fact, he has done enough. When my grandmother was critically ill, I was useless and couldn’t do anything at all. It was he who handled everything. Originally, he was going to pick up grandma after she passed away, and he also made arrangements in the south. The cemetery, funeral ceremony, etc. were all connected. Later, after reading grandma’s will, he decided to follow the grandmother’s death. thought to keep her here.”
Jiang Wu suddenly stopped the car.
She thought she could face these past events calmly, but she didn’t expect that her eyes were blurred by tears in the end.
The winter of despair seemed to be deeply imprinted in her bones and blood. She once asked her biological parents for help, but the only reply to her was refusal and the lengthy answer on the phone. Jiang Wu looked up for a long time, and then the tears gradually calmed down.
She still remembers the last letter her grandmother left to her uncle, she said that she can rest assured that her daughter and son can live well, and the only thing that worries her is Jiang Wu this girl, she wants to stay here and guard her.
grandmother’s intention in leaving this letter was actually that she was afraid that Jiang Wu’s mother would come back and would bury her in her hometown. Unfortunately, Jiang Wu’s mother did not come back to take a look even after learning the news of her mother’s death , Even the follow-up tomb relocation is the same. She paid the money, but did not leave a single word to Jiang Wu’s daughter.
Sometimes Jiang Wu would think that her mother might hate her and her grandmother, otherwise how could she be so cruel.
Later Jiang Wu grew up and saw a lot. She finally understood that if there is hatred, it is good, at least hatred is also a kind of care, and she is afraid of many things.
“I’m actually very grateful to my uncle.” Jiang Wu adjusted his mood, raised his head and gave Shen Mu a smile.
Shen Mu felt that the smile was like a sharp sword, which directly stabbed a hole in her heart. She unfastened her seat belt and leaned closer to hold Jiang Wu tightly. Well, meet earlier, meet earlier, and earlier, she can prevent Jiang Wu from bearing so many hardships from fate alone.
“It’s alright, let’s not talk about it.” Jiang Wu can feel Shen Mu’s chest rising and falling, she has never been a person with ease and never has such a big mood swing, “Should not told you this.”
Shen Mu held her face and said seriously, “No, thank you for being willing to tell me this, A Wu, although grandma is gone, you now have a new family.”
Shen Mu’s eyes seem to have indelible stars, her words are so similar to what grandma once said, grandma said that you will meet someone who will share your reunion with you, and Shen Mu told her, You now have a new family and she feels very happy.
Jiang Wu leaned up gently, pressed Shen Mu’s forehead and said, “Yes, I have a new family, so would you like to meet my grandma with me?”
Shen Mu gently kissed her, “Not only today, but every moment in the future, I will be your companion.”
The car parked on the side of the road restarted after the two lingered, and continued to travel in the direction of Xishan Cemetery.
In April, the grass is flying, and everywhere you see is green.
Today is Tomb-sweeping Day, and many people came to sweep the grave. Jiang Wu and Shen Mu followed the crowd to the innermost part of the Xishan Cemetery.
Shen Mu saw her grandmother’s photo. She married Jiang Wu, and Jiang Wu moved to live with her. Apart from bringing clothes and daily necessities from the original house, she also I only brought a photo album and a photo with my grandmother decorated with a solid wood frame.
The photo frame was placed on the desk belonging to Jiang Wu in the study, and the photo album was placed on the bookshelf, which was easily accessible. Shen Mu liked to take it out and flip through it. , there are photos of Jiang Wu when he was a child. Jiang Wu when he was a child looks almost exactly the same as he is now. From then on, he was destined to be a little beauty, but in almost all the photos, Jiang Wu has a sullen face and no smile at all. When she saw it, Shen Mu had to sigh in her heart, it really matched the little girl in her memory.
At this moment, standing in front of my grandmother’s tomb, watching the old man with kindly smiling face in the photo album suddenly changed into a solemn black and white photo of Zhou Zheng posted on the tombstone, Shen Mu’s heart suddenly There was also a trace of sadness, she secretly looked at Jiang Wu’s expression, and saw the other person staring in front of him in a daze, and it took a long time for her to smile again and greet him gently.
“Grandma, I came to see you.”
Grandma probably didn’t like Jiang Wu’s frowning look, Shen Mu understood what Jiang Wu meant, she whispered softly, took a step forward, and said, “Grandma, I’ll come to see you too.”
Jiang Wu was a little surprised, looked in the direction of Shen Mu, and saw that she was blinking at her, as if it was the first time she saw a parent trying to win favor, but she was a little nervous .
Jiang Wu turned around and continued to her grandmother, “Grandma, I’ll bring someone to see you.”
Shen Mu sang in harmony, “Grandma, that person is me.”
Jiang Wu introduced, “Her name is Shen Mu.”
Shen Mu introduced himself, “Yes, my name is Shen Mu.”
“She is my… love.”
Shen Mu was very satisfied with this title and smiled, “Yes, I am Jiang Wu’s wife.”
“Grandma, I have a family.”
“Grandma, yes, it’s my home.”
Jiang Wu: “…”
Did she bring someone to talk about cross talk to her grandmother?
She pushed Shen Mu’s shoulder, smiled and said angrily, “You are so noisy, go and go, while you go, I want to whisper to grandma.”
“Fine. I’ll wait for you there.” After speaking, Shen Mu took Jiang Wu and kissed her forehead gently before leaving.
Will grandma see it?
Jiang Wu couldn’t get used to Shen Mu’s kiss any longer, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but blushed.
Shen Mu walked away, this time she went quite far, Jiang Wu watched her find a place to stand in the distance, and waved hello to him.
Looking back again, facing her grandmother, the smile on Jiang Wu’s face was gentle and sad.
“Grandma, I got married. It was an impulsive decision. Since you left, I have been living alone, probably because I have been alone for too long, so I will be lonely. I woke up in the hotel bed that day , Shen Mu asked me if I wanted to marry her, and I agreed without much thought.” Jiang Wu’s whispered words seemed to travel far away with the spring breeze in April, “Thinking about it now, it’s probably more than half a year. , but it’s very strange, during this period, I didn’t have a single thought of regret.”
Speaking, Jiang Wu squatted down slowly, reached out and touched the picture of grandma on the tombstone. Speaking normally, “When it was raining two days ago, Shen Mu brought an umbrella to pick me up from get off work, and the moment I watched her come to me in the rain, I thought I was really tempted, I seemed to fall in love with her. , Grandma, will you bless me?”
The cold tombstone couldn’t answer Jiang Wu’s question, but it couldn’t erase the answer in her heart.
Jiang Wu smiled and said, “Although she can be a little naive sometimes, she will probably bring her over to see you in the future.”
Shen Mu watched from a distance, this was a conversation between Jiang Wu and her closest family, she had to give her this space, although she really wanted to know what they all said.
During the Qingming Festival, there was a breeze passing between the passages of the cemetery, lifting Shen Mu’s clothes and her hair.
Life has also grown into the best look, I am deeply attracted by her, I believe that if you see Grandma, you will be very pleased and proud of her.”
When Shen Mu’s gaze was withdrawn from a distance, Jiang Wu had bid farewell to her grandmother and walked towards him.
“What are you looking at?” Jiang Wu asked.
“Look at the sky, look at the clouds.” After Shen Mu finished speaking, she touched Jiang Wu’s face, “Look at you, you are the best looking.”
Shen Mu’s love words really came right out of her mouth.
Jiang Wu has no time to joke with her, “If you want to see grandpa, I can accompany you too.”
Jiang Wu is serious.
Shen Mu smiled, “The relationship is good, if grandpa is still here, he must like you very much.”
Jiang Wu was a little embarrassed, “The older generation may not be able to accept same-sex marriage.”
Shen Mu shook his head, “Our ancestors of the Shen family never took the usual path, so they don’t care about these things. Grandpa is a well-informed old man, so he won’t mind such trivial matters.”
“Oh? Let’s hear it.” Jiang Wu smiled curiously.
Shen Mu took Jiang Wu’s hand and walked towards the exit of the cemetery, “The story should be told slowly, and I will tell you little by little later.”
