Chapter 510: What You Eat Are Offerings
Dai Qing looked at the cakes on the plate and looked at him in surprise, "Offering?"
"Well, I asked before I took it, and I took it back only after you agreed." The young man shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, which made Dai Qing speechless.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that a cemetery can really change a person.
Since they were free, Dai Qing started chatting with him.
"How do you know they agree?"
"Acceptance is tacit consent."
The young man glanced at Dai Qing with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"Why, if the tombstone really wants to speak, can you accept it?"
Dai Qing: “…”
Dare you tease her?
This is not the time to cry.
"In fact, when I first came here, I was timid and was so scared that I didn't dare to go to work for three days. I just wanted to quit. My family disagreed and said that I was introverted and other jobs were not suitable for me, so I had to persist."
Young people may be too lonely, and when they finally catch up with someone of the same age, they want to talk a few more words.
Hearing this, Dai Qing felt guilty for a moment. She never thought that her momentary mistake would cause such a great trauma to others.
Fortunately, this man did not notice Dai Qing's expression. He just leaned against the tree trunk next to him, put his head on one hand, and looked up at the sky.
"I stayed at home all the time and didn't go out. My parents were worried that I might get sick, so they asked my cousin to take me out to play. I saw young people arguing and fighting in the game hall, and it had a big impact on me. If it were me, I would definitely not have the courage to argue with them. After much hesitation, I finally came back."
Working in a cemetery, except for the Qingming Festival, July 15th, and October 1st, you hardly see anyone on weekdays. You don't have to interact with people at all, and even if you don't speak for a day, no one will think it's strange.
This is the only place where eloquence is not needed.
Once you get used to it, it's not that unacceptable.
Every time the person offering sacrifices left, before the sun set, he only had to bow three times towards the tombstone and then he could take the offerings away.
Listening to the man's tone and seeing his calm mood, Dai Qing nodded in agreement.
"From what you said, it is indeed more convenient than dealing with people."
"Yes, my master said so too."
The young man chuckled, looked up at the gloomy sky, then looked back at the rows of tombstones.
"The weather is going to change. It will get dark early. The cemetery is in the suburbs. You should go back early."
After the young man turned around and left, Dai Qing pinched a piece of cake and tasted it. It was very sweet, with red bean paste filling.
After eating two pieces of rice to fill my stomach, I got up and went to look for Grandpa Jiang.
Seeing the old man still sitting cross-legged in front of the tombstone with a sad look on his face, Dai Qing walked over and said, "Grandpa Jiang, the situation has changed. It's time for us to leave."
"When you are young and frivolous, you don't know the taste of sorrow. When you are old, you will regret it, but it is too late."
If he hadn't left on his own accord, perhaps the situation wouldn't be like this today. He felt guilty towards his senior brother after all.
Looking at the old man's gloomy expression, Dai Qing was not good at persuading people. Moreover, the grudge between the two had long been gone with the passing of the grandfather.
"My grandfather and I have lived a hard and ordinary life these years. But he never mentioned the past to me, and there was no resentment in his words. He only said that everything was destined, so I don't think my grandfather ever blamed anyone."
"This is indeed my senior brother's character. He is a broad-minded person who can tolerate others. He is a qualified person to take charge, which is something I cannot compare to. Anyway, I can only express my guilt towards my senior brother in person when I am buried in the underworld someday."
Jiang Li looked at the photo on the tombstone, sighed deeply, and rubbed his numb legs and feet. Dai Qing hurried forward and helped him stand up.
Before leaving, Dai Qing turned around and looked at the tombstone, "Grandpa, I'll come to see you again later."
After leaving the cemetery, Dai Qing hailed a taxi and went straight home.
Just after driving a short distance, Dai Qing's pager in her pocket rang.
It was sent to her by He Ning, asking her if she had time to go to the club to practice driving.
Dai Qing knew that He Ning had been lurking in the club for some time. She guessed that the boy must be lonely and wanted to find someone to accompany him to pass the time.
Jiang Li looked at Dai Qing and spoke gently.
"If you are busy, just go ahead and don't worry about me. I'm used to being alone."
"It's He Ning, you know him. We set up a motorcycle club together and just opened it. He has been looking after the shop recently."
Jiang Li was very familiar with He Ning.
"That cheerful young man is very lucky."
"Indeed, there are many noble people around him, and each of them can take him to the top." Whether He Ning can meet noble people also depends on his character and not being offensive.
He has positive values, is not greedy, is not vain, and is very willing to help others.
The main thing is that the person has high emotional intelligence, knows when to advance and retreat, and has self-awareness.
The only drawback is laziness, which can be ignored.
Anyway, she has always been patient with He Ning.
Hearing Dai Qing's praise, Jiang Li turned his head and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "You admire him so much, and he's a good guy. Have you ever thought about marrying him?"
Dai Qing: “…”
Is this the elders urging you to get married?
"What's wrong? Can't accept it or haven't thought about it?"
Seeing Dai Qing's shocked expression, Jiang Li chuckled.
"It doesn't matter. You are still young, and it's not too late to think about it now. If you meet a good one, grab it in advance. If you miss it, it will be snatched away by others. You think outstanding people are good, and so are others."
Dai Qing was a little amused.
"He Ning and I are just ordinary friends. We can be said to be siblings with a good relationship, but no matter what the relationship is, it has nothing to do with the object."
"Do you have someone else you like?"
Free love is popular among young people nowadays. It is normal for this girl to be liked by others since she is very pretty.
Thinking of Cai Kuan and several other outstanding young men, Jiang Li suddenly realized that they really couldn't be forced.
"...No, I'm not ready to get married."
Dai Qing didn't know that he had thought so much in a short while, but she didn't want to hide it either.
"After inheriting my grandfather's legacy, I don't know if I will encounter any problems in the future. I don't want to hurt others or myself."
Jiang Li was stunned, stroking his beard and looking at her. After a while, he smiled slightly, "Don't worry, girl. The problem you are worried about no longer exists, because you have already suffered a disaster. The way of heaven is fair."
Dai Qing was stunned. Could it be that this old man saw something?
"Those who study metaphysics and reveal too much secrets of the heavens are likely to be punished by the heavens. The five evils are widowhood, loneliness, orphanage, solitude, and disability. The three deficiencies are power, money, and life. If you have any of these, you will be punished by the heavens."
Jiang Li looked at her, frowning for a moment.
"My talent is limited, and I cannot fathom the mystery. But from what I can see, you have experienced three of the five evils, and two of the three deficiencies. It is incredible that such a calamity befell one person. I cannot fathom the hardships you have gone through, but there is indeed a sign of hope after a dark period."
