Chapter 547
Joy and mourning
Tears fell, Yu Ran closed her eyes, and after a while she calmed down, wiped away her tears, and looked up.
I found that Lu Yujing's face was calm, as if the sadness of the past two days did not exist.
Yu Ran knew that he was suppressing his emotions.
There were many people attending this funeral, and among them there were forces that were not in conflict with the Lu family. If you show your sad and fragile side now, it will easily become a source of schadenfreude for those people.
Lu Yujing probably felt her gaze and looked over to indicate that he was fine.
Over there, Ye Shu, who was struggling to talk to the guests who came to express condolences, also saw them, said a few words to the people next to him, and then walked over here.
She was dressed in black and had a white flower on her chest.
"Are you here? Just come over to see your grandpa for the last time."
Before the coffin lid was closed, Mr. Lu was lying quietly inside.
Yu Ran and Lu Yujing heard this and walked over and stood beside the coffin.
The two children also wanted to step forward, but they were stopped by Ye Shu, "You two kids, don't step forward, you will be easily frightened."
Xingxing's eyes were red and her voice was muffled, "Grandma, I'm not afraid. I want to see my great-grandpa."
My great-grandfather likes her the most. Every time he sees her, he plays games with her. Many people find those childish games boring and time-consuming, and are unwilling to play with her. But my great-grandfather doesn’t find it boring at all, but rather special.
Play with her patiently.
Moreover, as soon as she comes back, she will definitely see her great-grandfather standing at the door to pick her up, with a very kind smile on his face.
But when I came back this time, there was nothing.
Xingxing was still young and didn't quite understand what death was. She only knew that death meant never seeing her great-grandfather again.
From now on, no one would stand at the door waiting for her to come back. Just thinking about it made her feel even more uncomfortable. She looked up at Ye Shu with tears in her eyes, "Grandma."
Ye Shu sighed.
Xiangshou also said, "Grandma, let's go see my great-grandpa."
Yu Ran turned around and said, "Mom, let them go. They are all relatives and will not be afraid."
Mr. Lu's spirit in heaven will only protect his great-grandson whom he has always loved, so how could he be willing to scare them?
"Okay, you two go ahead."
Ye Shu relaxed, but stared nervously, fearing that the two children would be frightened.
Although many people came to express condolences today, many people were very taboo and would hardly go over to see Mr. Lu. They would just walk to the side without looking into the coffin, then put down their things and leave in a hurry with their heads lowered.
Living people are more or less taboo about death.
The two children walked to the coffin and looked at the person lying inside through the coffin. Mr. Lu had already put on his shroud and was neatly dressed. His hands were folded on his abdomen, with a smile on his lips and tight eyes.
Closed.
Just by looking at him, I could tell that he shouldn't be in pain when he left.
Xingxing's eyes blinked and blinked, looking at Grandpa, reaching out to touch him, "Grandpa, are you sleeping? Stop sleeping and play with Xingxing, okay?"
Yu Ran blocked her hand with quick eyes and hands, "Xingxing, don't disturb your grandpa, this is not good."
The little girl blinked her eyes, a little confused, "But I think great-grandpa is just asleep."
"Yes, he just fell asleep, but he is about to become a star in the sky now, so, star, let's not disturb him."
The little girl seemed to understand, and stood there obediently without moving. She kept talking to Mr. Lu while mumbling, and even told some interesting things about herself at school.
Then she stretched out her wrist to show off the bracelet Liang Zhao gave her, "Grandpa, this is a bracelet given to Xingxing by a little brother. It's very beautiful. Xingxing likes it very much. Does Grandpa like it?"
"Grandpa, if you turned into a star, would I be able to see you in the sky every day?"
The little girl chattered a lot.
At the end, he lowered his head and said, "Grandpa, I don't want you to become a star. If you become a star, you won't talk to me. You wouldn't ignore me before."
After she finished speaking, she finally didn't want to say another word. She stayed beside her and her eyes were red.
On the contrary, Xiang Xiang is already old and very smart. He has long known what death is. At this moment, he just stays there quietly and looks at Mr. Lu.
Ye Shu also came over, saw them looking at Mr. Lu, and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to be too sad. Dad was very peaceful when he left. He passed away while smiling and sleeping at night."
Ye Shu said this, paused, and continued, "He probably knew that his end was coming, so he called us all to talk to him that night. After talking for a long time, he distributed some of the family's property, and then laughed again
Then he told us to be more open-minded about life and death, and said not to be too sad if he really left, he just went to accompany his mother."
At that time, her husband was very unhappy when he heard Mr. Lu say this. He felt that her father was explaining the funeral arrangements, which was unlucky.
But Mr. Lu is very open-minded about life and death.
He also said that he was lucky to live to be over eighty years old and to see his children and grandchildren in his family.
In the past, his comrades-in-arms were all in their twenties and thirties, in their prime, but they would never see the happiness of having children and grandchildren around them like this.
Therefore, Mr. Lu is very content.
Before leaving, I saw the country’s latest successful weapons test, which was even more satisfying.
He could safely go underground and tell his comrades that the motherland that had been bullied had stood up.
The motherland they bought with their blood is now more and more prosperous.
It will get better and better in the future, and there will be less and less problems with not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothes...
In short, Mr. Lu passed away peacefully in the end. When they got up the next morning and asked Mr. Lu to eat, they found that he didn't respond. As soon as they arrived at the room, they found that he was out of breath with the corners of his lips raised, and his hands were still stretched upward, like
When he saw who was coming to pick him up, the smile on his lips felt particularly happy at that moment.
Ye Shu thought that the old man must have seen his mother-in-law and comrades coming to pick him up.
Yu Ran and Lu Yujing felt a little better when they heard what she said.
In any case, it was not painful when Mr. Lu left. It should be regarded as a happy mourning.
It's just that they need some time to accept the fact that Mr. Lu has passed away.
After a while, Yu Ran followed Ye Shu to greet the guests who came to express their condolences, and Lu Yujing also went to his father's place to help greet them.
The two children stayed beside the coffin with Yang Qingyan and his children to guard Mr. Lu.
Yu Ran had served a lot of guests, and had been taking trains for the past two days, without eating or resting well. She was so tired that her face was slightly pale, her skin was dull, and she looked particularly lethargic.
Ye Shu looked a little worried, "Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll be fine here."
There are enough people with Cheng Wenxia by his side.
Yu Ran shook his head, "It's okay, I can still hold on for a while."
Immediately, he looked around and realized what he felt was a little wrong just now.
