Chapter 11 Cemetery Sweeping
Maybe I miss it.
In her impression, her mother passed away when she was very young, and her father was busy working all day and rarely stepped into the house, so she grew up following her brother.
Although her brother seemed unreliable, only she knew that it was because of his protection from childhood that she was able to have a happy growing environment.
So now whenever she thinks about her brother facing those dangerous things, she can't stop worrying. She is afraid that one day she will receive the nightmare news.
"Are you sad again?"
Cheng Siyan held an umbrella with one hand and held a few bouquets of white chrysanthemums in the other hand. He pretended to be relaxed and joked: "But if your parents see you like this, you will definitely make them sad."
The sky was a little gloomy, and light rain fell on the umbrella, making a crisp crashing sound.
Cheng Suiran lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "No way...brother, let's go."
Although she said so, her nasal voice revealed her sadness at the moment.
"Fool." Cheng Si extended his hand and rubbed the top of the little girl's soft hair, comforting him: "Don't cry, or my brother will be sad too."
Listening to his comforting words, Cheng Suiran couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, and they fell pattering down.
Seeing this, Cheng Siyan quickly handed the white chrysanthemum in his hand to Li Qizhi beside him, then held the little girl in his arms and coaxed in a low voice: "Why are you really crying, huh?"
"Brother." Cheng Suiran choked and shook his head, lying in his arms. His voice was broken and he said with sobs: "I'm afraid that my brother will leave me too. I only have my brother now..."
"No." Cheng Siyan gently patted the little girl's back and said softly: "Brother and Ranran promise that brother will always be by Ranran's side."
"Brother must keep his word."
Cheng Suiran cried for a while before calming down, but the sourness in his heart was still there.
Li Qizhi looked at the little girl's sad look. For some reason, his heart was a little clogged. But after all, this was a family matter of the Cheng family. After all, he couldn't say anything more and could only stand there silently.
.
"When has brother ever broken his promise?" Cheng Siyan said, reaching out to hold her hand and saying warmly: "Let's go see our parents."
"good."
Cheng Suiran sniffed, and did not forget to add: "And Sister Nanqiao, brother, if you don't mention Sister Nanqiao's name, Sister Nanqiao will definitely be really angry..."
"It's just what I want her to be angry about. By the way, what did you write on those paper stars?"
"I won't tell you. Anyway, I complained to Sister Nan Qiao."
"..."
Listening to the bickering words between the brother and sister in front of him, Li Qizhi couldn't help but smile.
The lush green bamboos on both sides of the stairs rustled in the wind, and the fragrance of green grass floated in the air.
Cheng Suiran followed his brother and cleaned his parents' cemetery, then placed melons and fruits on them, burned the paper money, and finally kowtowed in worship.
During this period, she looked at the photos of her parents on the tombstone, and couldn't help but her eyes turned red. She knelt on the ground and choked up: "Mom, Dad, my brother and I are fine. You don't have to worry too much about us in heaven..."
…”
The wind in the cemetery whistled, ruffling the hair on her forehead.
Cheng Siyan also knelt in front of the tombstone and murmured: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my sister, and I will definitely protect my own life."
"Mom and Dad..."
Cheng Suiran whispered over and over again, the grief in her heart getting stronger and stronger, almost so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Cheng Siyan watched from the sidelines. This time he did not stop the little girl from crying. Even Li Qizhi stepped forward to comfort the little girl, but in the end he gently shook his head to stop her.
The little girl needs to vent her emotions now. If you keep it in your heart, it will cause harm to the little girl.
Listening to the little girl's painful cries, Li Qizhi tightened his grip on the umbrella handle, then turned around, trying hard to suppress the sad feelings in his heart.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry, my brother and I will be fine." Cheng Suiran said the last part with sobs, then he lay down in front of the tombstone and burst into tears.
"It's okay, Ranran." Cheng Siyan hugged the little girl again and comforted her softly: "You're not sad anymore. You still have your brother by your side, right?"
Hearing this, Cheng Suiran slowly stopped crying and nodded. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice not far away.
"Is it Si Yan and Ran Ran?"
It's my uncle's voice.
Cheng Suiran raised his head and looked at the middle-aged figure who was somewhat stout. He sniffed and politely responded: "Uncle."
Cheng Yang had a smile on his fat face, took a few steps forward, and said with concern: "Don't be sad, your parents Izumi Izumi will definitely feel sorry for you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Cheng Siyan beside him and warned him with concern: "Siyan should be more careful recently. After all, the murderer has not been caught yet, and accidents can happen at any time."
Although his words were concerned, they sounded very awkward.
It's like a provocation to the police.
When Cheng Siyan heard this, he calmly removed the look in his eyes and just responded lightly: "Thank you, uncle."
"What's the point? I'm your elder anyway, so I should care about you two children." Cheng Yang said with a smile: "And Si Yan, you are 27 this year, you should have your own life circle, and
It's time to find a girlfriend, and the dangers of your job..."
Cheng Siyan frowned lightly, interrupted his words, and said with a bit of displeasure: "Uncle, I won't bother you to worry about my affairs. It's more practical to take care of yourself first. You owed me to my parents in the past."
I will not ask you for your gambling debts, and you will have to start a new life in the future."
After he finished speaking, he looked down at the little girl next to him and said dotingly: "Of course, let's go, don't you still want to see her?"
"Um."
Cheng Suiran replied obediently. Just as he was about to say hello to Cheng Yang, Cheng Siyan forcibly turned around and led him away.
He really didn't have a good impression of his uncle. Ever since he became sensible, he would often meet his uncle coming to their house crying to borrow money, and every time he would not change his attitude despite repeated admonitions. Gradually, in his heart, he felt towards this
My uncle felt disgusted.
Watching the two brothers and sisters walking away, Cheng Yang's eyes showed a fierce light, and the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist, as if he was planning something.
When he turned around, he bumped into the shoulder of the person behind him. Cheng Yang's face turned cold for a moment, but when he met the person's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank, then he quickly lowered his head, calmed down his expression, and turned around and walked away.
Li Qizhi looked at the leaving figure and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
