The next afternoon, the scorching sun poured down unhindered, scorching the earth.
Jiang Suisui went to the cemetery with her father Jiang Yan.
After Gu Niaoniao was taken back by the Gu family, she was buried in a suburban cemetery.
Every time Jiang Suisui earned pocket money, she would prepare a small gift for everyone in the family.
More than ten years ago, after Jiang Cheng came back, she would never forget the gift for Gu Niaoniao every time she bought one.
Even though she already had a gift for Gu Niaoniao in her closet.
In the morning, Jiang Suisui went out early as usual to pick out snacks that Gu Niaoniao loved to eat during her lifetime, including milk tea, desserts, and the gentian flowers that her grandmother said her mother loved the most.
So, when the father and daughter arrived at the cemetery in the afternoon, their hands were full of various items. Jiang Qi and the other person following behind them were also carrying a lot of items in their hands.
Gu Niaoniao's tomb is located at the highest point of the cemetery, quiet and peaceful.
Jiang Suisui and Jiang Yan came to the tomb, put down their things, and then Jiang Yan took off his suit.
Jiang Suisui looked at the black sports suit she had changed into in advance, and still knelt obediently on her father's suit, burning incense and kowtowing.
Jiang Yan helped his child to stand up.
I lit a stick of incense myself.
Jiang Suisui watched her father burn incense for her mother, took out the wet wipes that had been prepared long ago, and gently wiped the tombstone with gentle and careful movements.
"Mom, Dad and I are here to see you." Jiang Suisui said softly.
There is a ginkgo tree planted next to Gu Niaoniao's grave.
That was the year Jiang Suisui returned from Jiangcheng, and he and the Gu family planted it together.
At that time, little Jiang Suisui said seriously: "Ginkgo represents the cycle of life. I hope my mother can find rest and rebirth in this cycle."
Jiang Yan tugged at his suit, and Jiang Qi and the others looked at their CEO's custom-made suit, feeling inexplicably distressed for ten seconds!
He gently spread the suit under the ginkgo tree, and then sat down under the tree side by side with Jiang Suisui.
Jiang Suisui began to mutter about what she had done during the time she was away.
She also placed the things that Gu Niaoniao liked that she heard from the Gu family in front of the grave one by one.
[Mom, this is your favorite strawberry mousse cake. I didn’t buy the one from last time…]
[Mom, this is the milk tea you like, new flavor, full of sugar...]
[Mom, this is my new favorite snack, and I brought you one too...]
Jiang Qi brought over an iron bucket with one hand.
Jiang Suisui wanted to light the clothes in her hand on fire, but Jiang Yan took it directly...
[Mom, this is the new cheongsam I bought you. Grandma said you liked the crabapple flower pattern...]
[It's a custom double-sided embroidery. If others have it, my mom wants it too!]
In fact, Jiang Suisui knew that Gu Niaoniao had been reincarnated, but she still wanted to do these things...
Finally, Jiang Suisui took out a small and exquisite box mysteriously: "Mom, I bought this for you with my pocket money."
Jiang Yan watched his daughter open the small box and display the items one by one: a clip, a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet...
Even the kids' favorite bubbles/Mart customized a few small golden ones and put them in...
After she finished speaking, she took out the key, opened the secret compartment in front of the tombstone, and carefully placed the gift inside.
Ever since Jiang Yan discovered that his daughter was keen on buying gifts for her mother, he discussed with the Gu family and built this secret compartment in front of Gu Niaoniao's tombstone.
There is only one key to the secret compartment, and it is in Jiang Suisui's own hands.
Over the years, there have been so many gifts that it’s a bit hard to fit them all in.
The thing that takes up the most space is Jiang Suisui’s favorite rag doll. When she was a child, she said that it accompanied her mother on her behalf.
The child made some space, took out the doll and burned it together.
[Mom, when I grow up, I will come to visit you often. This doll takes up too much space. I will burn it for you first!]
[Mom, next time I come over, can I bring you hot pot?]
...
Jiang Suisui and Jiang Yan sat quietly under the ginkgo tree. The lush branches and leaves intertwined into a thick shade, shielding them from the scorching sun.
Occasionally, a breeze slowly passed through the ginkgo tree, and the branches and leaves rustled, like Gu Niaoniao's gentle response, softly expressing her longing for her daughter.
In fact, there are many lonely ghosts in this cemetery.
Although these lonely souls do not know each other, they all have a special envy for Gu Niaoniao.
Although they had never met Gu Niaoniao, envy of her quietly spread in this dark place.
Jiang Suisui didn't plan to care about them because all the people in the cemetery were white ghosts.
The white ghost does not harm people. It relies entirely on the sacrifices and offerings of family members to keep a trace of its existence in this world.
However, time is the most ruthless thing. As the years go by, relatives gradually stop offering sacrifices on time and even slowly forget them.
Once this time comes, they will embark on the path of reincarnation and start a new cycle.
Therefore, whenever they saw Gu Niaoniao's luxurious tomb, the flowers and offerings that never withered in front of the tomb, and the family members who came to visit every now and then, their envy became stronger.
