Xu Jun's life

There are several funerals this year.

I didn't expect Li Zhurong's grandfather to collapse suddenly.

In my impression, he was a very powerful old man, because he was so powerful that he was almost invulnerable.

I still remember the heavy despair he imposed on me.

At that time, Li Xiu had just entered the first grade, it was autumn, and it was said that his grandfather was playing chess with Xia Chen's grandfather vigorously during the day, and suddenly collapsed in the bathroom at night.

It was his adjutant who noticed something was wrong and ran in to check, only to find him lying on the bathroom floor, lifeless.

It was already 11 o'clock at that time, we had already fallen asleep, Li Zhurong answered the phone, came back from the balcony, started to get dressed, I asked him in a daze: "What's wrong?" He pressed on my shoulder, Said: "It's okay, you continue to sleep."

He rushed back that night.

Mr. Li is very old. The Li family has a full set of first aid equipment and a doctor on call. It is said that he was conscious for about 3 minutes after being rescued, but unable to speak. He pointed at Li Zhurong with his finger, and then fell into a coma. Confirmed at [-]:[-] a.m. Death, when I was sleeping.

At seven o'clock, Li Zhai began to notify relatives and friends in Beijing. At that time, I was sitting at the table eating breakfast in a daze because of getting up early. Since Li Zhurong and I moved back, my mother stopped waking me up. Finally, Li Zhurong was not around. , my mother finally regained this power and forced me to eat breakfast.

Just when I was about to fall asleep with my face in the porridge bowl, Li Zhurong called.

"Teacher, are you up yet?"

I glanced at the covetous old lady, and silently took a mouthful of porridge: "Get up."

"Get dressed, just wear that black suit and satin black tie, Xiao An will come to your place in half an hour, and Yuan Hai will bring him to my place with you." He seemed very busy, while Still seems to be making a decision: "Choose this."

"What happened?" I had a vague premonition.

"My grandfather just passed away." He told me calmly, "Tell my uncle and aunt that you won't be home for the next two days."

The news hit me too hard.

"I still have something to do here, so hang up first." He said in a calm voice, "Don't think about it, I'm here."

I told my mother about this, and my mother was very anxious: "It's the etiquette for us to come to the door..."

I comforted my mother: "It's okay, I'll just go, you don't need to go to the door, his house is a mess."

My mother became even more anxious when she heard this: "Isn't his family robbing property now, can you not go..."

They're all noobs, they push my mother to watch TV shows every day, and even think of stealing the family property.

It was not easy to persuade the old lady to stop, Yuan Hai knocked on the door and said that Li Xiu had arrived and told me not to bring anything, just go there.He also comforted my mother and said: "Don't worry, now the Li family is the head of the Li family."

I don't really want to talk to him, but he was the one who picked up Li Xiu, so I should be very clear about Li Xiu's reaction, and Li Xiu has a deep relationship with his great-grandfather.

"How is Xiao An doing now?"

"If you mean if there is any crying, I can tell you, no." He answered me in a businesslike manner.

In fact, crying is not necessarily a bad thing.

When I got in the car, Li Xiu was wearing a small black suit and looked at me calmly.

I don't know who combed his hair, and I combed all the smooth brown hair to the back. Only then did I realize that his face is actually very small, and his blue eyes are even more frighteningly bright.

On the way to Li's house, he didn't greet me or speak to me until I spoke.Yuan Hai sat in the passenger seat, and there was only the two of us in the back seat.

"Have you had breakfast?" I asked him.

He shook his head.

I took a bag of biscuits out of my coat pocket.The last time Xia Chen came to be a guest, he told me some things that can be made in the oven, I tried to make some biscuits, but Li Xiu has been studying, and no one at home likes to eat this.

"I won't eat." He briefly refused.

But the six or seven-year-old child, with his lips pursed, looked very much like Li Zhurong.

I had to put the biscuit back in my pocket.

"Bring it!" He suddenly said fiercely.

"what?"

He reached out and snatched the biscuits out of my bag, and complained meanly: "It's so ugly in my pocket."

After complaining, he didn't eat the biscuits again, clutching the bag of biscuits, he shrank into the corner of the sofa.

I thought he was going to sleep, so I sat down and asked him, "Do you want to sleep? Do you want to lean on my lap? You can eat before going to sleep..."

Suddenly he grabbed my shirt.I thought he was going to say something again, but he just crawled into my arms, found a comfortable position, and leaned against my chest.

"You are so long-winded..." He complained in a muffled voice, "The biscuits you make are really ugly."

I don't know what to say back to him.

"You must really hate my great-grandpa." He said in a muffled voice as if accusing me, "You all hate my great-grandfather..."

I feel like he's saying "You're not a good person."

"I really hate your great-grandpa." I told him.

Li Xiu looked up at me and was about to crawl away.

"He was a bad guy to me, but a good guy to you." I told him, "But now that he is dead, the dead are the most important, so I won't talk about the past. I know you want to cry, and there are people Let me tell you, a man can't cry, but whether he is a man is not defined by others, but by himself. A real man dares to cry and laugh, and is not afraid of losing face. After crying, you just don't live up to your grandpa's expectations. "

Li Xiu looked at me with a wrinkled face: "You think I'm going to cry?"

"No one can't cry. If you don't like others watching, just hide and cry yourself. Anger can be vented, and sadness should also be vented."

Li Xiu went back to the corner of the sofa and shrunk himself into a ball.

Li's house is very busy and there are many people, but it doesn't look chaotic at all.

As soon as our car stopped, many people surrounded us.

Li Xiu has attracted the attention of many people.

He is the current heir of the Li family, equivalent to the former Li Zhurong. With the passing away of the old patriarchs of the Xia family and the Li family, it is now their turn to be the heirs of their generation.

Many people don't know me, but they can guess who I am from the fact that I hold Li Xiu's hand.

People in the Li family, no matter they are smart or stupid, have an innate talent called looking down on people.

If Li Zhurong hadn't come to pick us up in person, I would have been cast into a sieve by the eyes of the Li family.

Li Zhurong tied a strand of hemp on the buttons of Li Xiu and me.

"Xiao An followed me to welcome the guests, and the teacher went to see the housekeeper with Yuan Hai, handed in the budget, and then came to the mourning hall."

When I went to the mourning hall, Zheng Yehu had already arrived and was offering incense. The older one and the younger one had the same backs, with straight backs, welcoming the guests who came to mourn with the elders of the Li family, and returning salutes from time to time.

I walked over, Zheng Yehu had sharp eyes, saw me first, and made a fuss: "Oh, it's Teacher Xu!"

"This is the budget, this is the expenditure," I showed him the account reported by the housekeeper: "Also, when will lunch be served?"

"Open at twelve o'clock." There were many monks chanting sutras in the mourning hall. He raised his voice and said to Zheng Yehu, "Are you going to play chess with Xia Zhifei or do you want me to throw you out?"

Zheng Yehu went to play chess with Xia Zhifei.

Standing all morning, ready to take Li Xiu to dinner, found him missing, and finally found him in Mr. Li's study room, the little kid who was usually dragged to death with crying eyes swollen, huddled in his great-grandfather's chair Fell asleep.
