Ode to Joy clearly loves you

One o'clock.

The old house fell into silence, because everyone knew that the hard work was still to come in the next few days, so they arranged for someone on duty, and everyone else rested separately.

Ming Rui, Ming Zhen and Tan Zongming are today's night watchmen.

"Grandpa, you go to sleep on the sofa for a while, Zong Ming is here." Ming Zhen was afraid that the old man would stay up all night and hurt himself, so she persuaded softly, "Grandpa, just listen to me, the old man suddenly behaves like this, if you get sick again ..." His eyes were red again as he spoke, and he sobbed.

Mingrui looked at the old man's portrait, "Actually, he left happily. He went to meet the person he wanted to see the most. My parents, my mother, and my aunt. I know you want to spend more time with him, and I want to spend more time with him too." He, alas, really don't have much time to spend with him now."

Tan Zongming and Ming Zhen supported Ming Rui to sit on the sofa together.

Mingrui has been holding a photo frame in his hand, the photo frame is not big, and the photo inside has not been processed by the current photo, so it is still an old photo, the yellowing is serious, but you can vaguely see those people "in this photo Almost everyone has reunited there, and now Minghua and I are missing."

"Grandpa!" Ming Zhen improved a little.

"I'm going anyway, but I have to wait another 20 years." Mingrui didn't have so much scruples about life and death, "Your second grandpa will have another 30 years." Very free and easy.

Ming Zhen took the group photo, "I don't know what the old man will say when he sees their first sentence."

"It must be 'Sister, I'm back!'" Mingrui imagined, "Auntie loves him the most. In fact, everyone in the family loves him."

"Where's that wild monkey? Did you catch it?" Ming Zhen got up and poured a cup of boiled ginseng tea. The third aunt boiled ginseng tea and put it in a thermos to make the night watchman feel better.

When Mingrui mentioned this, he felt a little displeased, "I don't know where to play wild."

"He's a reporter for National Geographic, so it's natural for him to walk around, not to mention he prefers rain forests and volcanoes." Ming Zhen also kept an eye on the incense candles. "He can't be restrained at all, just like the old man."

"His great-great-grandson." Mingrui took the teacup, took a sip, and put the lid on the cup again, "It seems that it will be difficult to find him in a short time, but it is not possible, there are San'er and Wu'er; Zong Ming, thank you this time , the old man left in a hurry, we were caught off guard."

"It's you who gave me this face." Tan Zongming didn't take credit for it. "Your domestic relations and influence... I really don't care about that." It can be seen from the flower baskets that have been delivered in the past two days and the people who came to pay homage.

"It was originally meant to be simple, but now it seems that it can't be simplified." Mingrui is very clear, "I thought that the military parade is coming soon, and Beijing may not take care of our family. I didn't expect to send someone here, and I don't want him to leave. It's too deserted, so let's do whatever we want; Zong Ming, I may have to work hard for you when the time comes."

"Grandpa, don't say that, it's my honor to work hard." Tan Zongming was very calm, "It's nothing hard, I just help with something."

"I said earlier that it's not that one family doesn't come into one family." Mingrui turned his head, "Not only do they look alike, but they even sound alike. In fact, Zhenzhen has never met my dad, and Mingyao doesn't know that he still remembers me. Don't forget, Mingyao was only over a year old when my father left, and I didn't expect to find such a similar grandson-in-law back this time."

"Grandpa, you can sleep for a while." Ming Zhen persuaded, "You have to go there in another 20 years, so you still have to take good care of yourself; you can't go now, I don't know if you will see them in your dreams, if you see them They, just take a good look at them, okay." She grew up in the United States, so she didn't have so many taboos, "Then wake up and tell us what the old man said when he saw the person he wanted to see the most." Born in 1936 Mingrui is now nearly [-] years old. It is indeed a difficult task for him to keep watch at night, but he insists on keeping watch, and everyone can't disobey him, so let his beloved Ming Zhen persuade him in a timely manner. He took a nap, and she put a thin blanket in her hands, "Grandpa, how about it?"

Mingrui raised his hand, shaking his fingers, and understood her little trick, but he didn't open his mouth to expose it, but agreed, "Okay, then you and Zong Ming will work hard."

Tan Zongming got up and gave the couch to the old man to lie down on.

Ming Zhen put the thin blanket on her grandfather, and whispered softly, "Grandpa, don't be too sad, maybe the old man will bring them into your dreams to see you." Sad, although he didn't show too many traces of sadness, but she saw him standing in front of the mourning hall with his eyes straightened several times.

Ming Rui closed his eyes and nodded, "Xiao Yang later, Xiao Wei will take care of you..."

"We'll figure it out on our own, you can go to sleep." Tan Zongming also whispered, and then went to the mourning hall with Ming Zhen and chose a place to sit down.

Ming Zhen leaned on his shoulder, "Although I haven't met my great-grandfather, sometimes when I come here, I feel that they have never left, just like the old man is gone now, but there are still many traces of him here, it seems that he just went to us It’s like another space you can’t see.”

Tan Zongming put his arms around her shoulders, "This is home, no matter where he goes, he will always be in the hearts of his family and never leave."

"I hope this kind of relationship will also be between you and me." Ming Zhen raised her eyes, "I really don't want to go through the oolong breakup last time, and I really don't want to go through it again, Zong Ming, I really hope that you will always be here. "

"Yes!" Tan Zongming held her hand, "I have been playing in the world for too long, and I seem to lose sight of many things, but in the Ming family, I saw many things that I had overlooked in the past, and it was because of you that I saw them; zhen zhen , I am not tempted once, but full of affection, an irreplaceable existence!"

Ming Zhen pressed against his neck, "Young master will protect us, right? You and I will be safe, and until that person is caught, he will protect us." He murmured.

"Yes, he won't allow anyone to hurt you anymore." Tan Zongming also said lightly, "Because I won't allow it either!"

Behind them, Ming Yao who came out of the study stood quietly, looking at their backs clinging to each other, without saying a word.

……

seven days later.

The sudden death of the old man of the Ming family still caused a lot of fluctuations. Although the Ming family insisted on keeping it low-key and simple, the number of people attending the funeral still exceeded the estimate.

The girls in Ode to Joy all chose black and dignified clothes, and went to the outside of the venue together. Brother Wei also came over there, and came to join them.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the dark scene and lowered her voice, "Sure enough, my dad said that he wanted to see the real contacts of a family. There are two times when he can't hide it. One is the wedding and the other is the funeral."

Wei Wei agrees that "only by looking at it now can we know what a real big family is."

Several people entered with the flow of people under the guidance of the staff.

When Andy saw Ming Zhen, she found that her eyes were red and swollen, so she stepped forward, "Min."

"Andy." Seeing that her eyes were red again, Ming Zhen didn't say anything, just held her hand.

Mingyou also flew back from Paris again, "Miss Andy."

"Mr. Mingyou, please forgive me." Andy said to Mingyou.

Mingyou sighed, "Thank you for coming; please, can you help Min go to the side to rest for a while, she has been keeping vigil for several days."

"Okay." Andy didn't see Lao Tan, so he and Fan Shengmei helped her go to other lounges.

lounge.

The staff brought several bottles of water.

Qu Xiaoxiao unscrewed a bottle and gave it to Ming Zhen, "Sister Zhen, drink some water, drink some water, don't be too sad, you are sad for the old man, and the old man will feel distressed when he sees you so sad in the sky."

Ming Zhen took a sip of water, "It was just too sudden, I didn't expect him at all, he just left." Her calm mood changed again during the funeral.

Fan Shengmei asked her to "drink some more water" by herself.

Ming Zhen had to take another sip of water, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Tan Zongming and Wei Wei are also here at this moment.

"Old Tan." Andy stood up.

Tan Zongming wore a black suit "Here we come."

"Well, why are there so many people? Didn't you say that Jane did it." Seeing that Ming Zhen was too sad, Andy couldn't ask any questions.

"It was originally simple." Tan Zongming also breathed out, "Thinking that the military parade is coming soon, many people will not be free; but I don't know that people are still coming, probably at this time, everyone can't help but want to come to the old comrades-in-arms. , The old superior will send me a favor."

"The old man has been talking about going to Beijing to watch the military parade. He was about to leave, and he was ready..." Ming Zhen choked up again.

"I have to go to the front." Tan Zongming couldn't get away at the moment, "Andy, take care of her."

"Zong Ming, you should eat something too." Ming Zhen raised her eyes, "I haven't had a lot of rest when I've stayed with me for the past few days."

"Then don't continue to be sad." Tan Zongming went over and rubbed her hair, "Your grandfather is still annoyed that the grandpa's great-great-grandson can't be contacted until now, and your elder brother is also angry about this matter. I will help thank you , you sit down for a while, drink some water, eat something, don't worry me."

"He doesn't know where to go to the tropical rainforest to be happy." Ming Zhen knew that guy "maybe he was going to see some volcanic eruption again. Leave him alone. Could it be that if he doesn't come, the old man's business will not be done, and it makes him so crazy. There are times when he regrets."

Seeing that she had boiled water in her hand, Tan Zongming took a sip and put it back in her hand, "I'm going back to the front."

"En." Ming Zhen nodded.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at it, but said nothing: This intimacy, praise!

Wei Wei also looked at it: The role of the son-in-law of the Ming family seems to be settled, or Lao Tan has a way.

It was already late at night when they finished the tofu feast and returned to Ode to Joy.

But the five girls were sitting in the living room on the 22nd floor, each speechless.

"No wonder my dad said that if you don't want to wear clothes and don't look at them, you should go to the memorial service a few more times." Qiu Yingying hugged the pillow and said first, "When you get there, you want to look at everything."

"There's nothing you can't think about at such a young age." Qu Xiaoxiao's point of view is different, "You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be dragged down by a big family. Our age is the best time to do things; Andy, I didn't expect Ming's The old man is still a general, and the people from the logistics department here are not low-level."

"I don't know whether they are in the army or not, but I also have impressions of many people who came here." This Andy knew. "It seems that some foreign companies are doing as the Romans do."

"It's a pity, it's not appropriate to be familiar at this time." Qu Xiaoxiao scratched her ears and cheeks, "But it's such a rare opportunity, Andy, you should give me a wink."

"When is it, do you still think about these things?" Qiu Yingying disliked, "The family is sad when the head of the funeral is lost, and you still take the opportunity to make connections?"

"The old man is almost a hundred years old. He passed away in his sleep. This is a happy funeral." Qu Xiaoxiao still knows the ways of the world. Add blessings and longevity, there is no taboo."

"There is indeed such a saying in our hometown, Quanfu, Quanshou, Quandi." Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao are together this time. She couldn't help herself when this thing happened suddenly after her birthday; so, after death, everything is false, and it is true that people treat him well when they are alive."

The other girls who spoke for a while were speechless.
