Chapter 509 Going to the Cemetery

It was really unlucky so early in the morning. Dai Qing gave her a cold look, then turned to look at Mao Yanyan with a complicated look.

"We are not suitable to be friends. You are only a nuisance to me. Let's pretend we don't know each other when we meet in the future."

Mao Yanyan: “…”

Is she being abandoned?

But thinking about Dai Qing's fierce look just now, she still trembled in her heart. It would be better not to have such a dangerous friend.

Everyone came to their senses, looked at the dirt on the ground, and turned their heads away silently.

Living in the same community, they have long been fed up with Ge Chunhua, a troublemaker. Normally, they want to stay away from her for fear of being entangled by her. Now that someone can control her, it can be regarded as getting rid of a pest for the community.

Ge Chunhua looked down at her trousers, her face flushed, and she wished she could find a seam to crawl into. She was actually frightened to the point of peeing. This was the first time she had encountered such an embarrassing thing.

But when I thought about the suffocating feeling of having my feet off the ground, I couldn't help but shudder. In broad daylight, this damn girl was so cruel, and she was so strong that I couldn't get away no matter how hard I tried.

Ge Chunhua couldn't stand the gloating looks of the crowd, so she got up and ran away, leaving the pot behind.

Mao Yanyan was too embarrassed to stay, so she lowered her head, picked up the pot and left quickly.

If she had known, she would not have gone out with her elder sister-in-law. It was really embarrassing. She had to have a good talk with Ge Bing when she got back and told her elder sister-in-law not to come back to her parents' home again.

Otherwise they would be too embarrassed to go out.

After watching the two people leave, everyone came to their senses and shook their heads.

"I really can't understand how the honest couple like Lao Ge could have given birth to such a thing?"

"It's a good thing she's married, otherwise who knows what kind of harm she would have done to our community."

“It’s really embarrassing.”

When it was Dai Qing's turn, the boss looked at her with an especially friendly look, "Xiao Qing, what do you want to eat today? Uncle will treat you."

"No, I want two cups of soy milk and four fried dough sticks." If Ge Chunhua didn't provoke her, Dai Qing felt that she would not take action.

So, she didn't want to take advantage of others.

"We are all old neighbors and we know each other. Uncle can still afford to treat us to breakfast." The boss refused to take Dai Qing's money and even gave her two extra spoons of soy milk.

When I got home with breakfast, Jiang Li was practicing Tai Chi in the yard.

"Morning, Master Jiang."

"morning,"

Jiang Li stopped and looked at her in shock. "Young people shouldn't be so angry. It can easily affect your mood."

"I don't want to, but it's hard not to get angry when someone disgusts me so early in the morning." Dai Qing walked into the living room with breakfast and replied casually.

Jiang Li smiled slightly.

"You need to train your mind more to avoid letting others disturb your mood and affect your judgment. It is easy for people to do things they regret when they are impulsive. It will be beneficial for young people to train more in the future."

Listening to Jiang Li's instruction, Dai Qing shook her head.

"I have my own principles in dealing with things. If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone offends me, I will tolerate them. If someone offends me again, I will cut off the roots."

You could also say that she is vengeful, but if she doesn't take action, she will be suffocated. So after weighing the pros and cons, she still thinks her mood is more important.

Jiang Li was stunned, silent for a moment, raised his hand and stroked his beard, "Your idea does make sense, and it is consistent with the Taoist idea of ​​following nature and following the human heart."

"Yes, I do admire Taoist culture. I believe in being open and honest. I cannot suppress it and destroy my Taoist heart."

Speaking of this, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing.

This old man was quite open-minded and a good friend regardless of age difference. Unfortunately, this old man wanted to persuade her to return to the Jiang Sect to recognize her relatives, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

After dinner, the two packed up, went out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the cemetery.

An hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the cemetery. Dai Qing paid and got out carrying her things.

I came here to sweep the graves during a non-holiday, and the gate to the cemetery was closed.

Dai Qing pressed the doorbell next to her, and after a while she heard footsteps. A young man in work clothes came over, frowned, glanced at the things in Dai Qing's room, and opened the door directly.

"When not sweeping graves, you must leave the park before 5pm. You are not allowed to stay."

"no problem."

Dai Qing glanced at him and couldn't help laughing. This man was the one who was scared to tears by her last time. She didn't expect that he didn't resign and leave?

Seeing Dai Qing's smile, the young man looked at her in confusion, but did not ask any more questions and turned to go to the duty room.

Dai Qing smiled. It seemed that after staying here for more than a year, she had become a lot braver.

Dai Qing led Jiang Li along the middle crosswalk. They walked through a grove of half-human-high pine trees and stopped in front of a tombstone. Looking at the black-and-white photo on it, they still felt a pain in their hearts.

“This is Grandpa’s tombstone.”

Dai Qing said as she put her things aside and started to clean the weeds nearby. She then took out her handkerchief, wiped the tombstone, placed fruit offerings on it, lit candles, and then recited softly.

"Grandpa, I've brought someone to see you."

Jiang Li stood in front of the tombstone, staring blankly, with the corners of his mouth trembling a little. Then he stretched out his hand to hold the tombstone, his tone sad,

"Brother, after more than 40 years, I never thought we would meet in this way..."

After Dai Qing kowtowed to her grandfather, she stood up and left without disturbing the two from reminiscing about the past.

She walked alone in the quiet cemetery, stepping on the bluestone bricks. The breeze blew, the pine trees rustled, and a cool feeling permeated her whole body.

After a stroll, Dai Qing stood in front of the tombstone surrounded by dead vines. There were overgrown weeds and tangled branches, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.

Twenty minutes later, Dai Qing looked at the newly cleaned tombstone and couldn't help but smile.

"It's fate that we met. I've cleaned up your house, no need to thank me."

Except for the cold wind responding to her, everything else was silent.

When Dai Qing turned around and went back, she saw from a distance that Jiang Li had already sat cross-legged in front of her grandfather's tombstone, and it looked like he was ready to have a long conversation.

It was still early, so Dai Qing didn't rush and went straight to the duty room and knocked on the window.

The young man stuck his head out. "What's going on?"

"Grandpa wants to stay a little longer. Can I lend you a small stool to sit on?" Not knowing how long the old man would talk, she looked for a place to rest.

The young man looked at her, opened the door after a moment and handed out a small pony.

"Thank you."

Dai Qing took it and found an empty place to sit down. She looked up at the gray sky, not knowing if it was going to change, it was so gloomy and scary.

Unexpectedly, Dai Qing sat there until 1pm, and the old man showed no sign of finishing.

The young man in the duty room passed by several times, looked at her each time, and finally brought out a plate of cakes and handed it to her.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Is it okay?"

"I didn't buy them either. They were all offerings."
