Chapter 236: Gold
The four of them, along with the cat and dog, soon arrived at Shen Jiachen's grave.
His resting place is large and well built, with a good view. The sunlight falls on his tombstone, as if he were sitting there basking in the sun, watching the world.
Cancan stood in front of the tombstone, still a little unresponsive.
The expressions on Shen Jiazhou and Gu Xingyuan's faces restrained a little. Wen Shuqiao glanced at the words on the tombstone, and finally took a step forward and handed the flowers he had been holding to Cancan.
Cancan held the bouquet of flowers and looked up at her aunt in a daze.
Wen Shuqiao said softly: "You know what to do."
She had talked to Cancan about it last night, and she also reminded her several times in the car, and Cancan understood it very well.
Cancan nodded. He walked forward quietly, squatted down, placed the flowers next to the tombstone, then took a step back, knelt in front of the tombstone, and kowtowed three times.
Gu Xingyuan held the dog, turned his head and took several deep breaths before he suppressed the sour feeling.
In comparison, Shen Jiazhou was much calmer. He watched Cancan kowtow, took two steps forward, and placed something behind the tombstone.
Gu Xingyuan waited for him to come back and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Shen Jiazhou replied.
Wen Shuqiao watched Cancan kowtow three times and said softly, "Baby, you haven't told him who you are yet."
Cancan knelt on the ground without getting up. He looked up at the tall tombstone in front of him and said, "Dad, I am Cancan. I have grown up."
He is no longer the little baby in his parents' arms.
Cancan's eyes were full of tears, but he told his aunt that seeing his father was a happy thing and he couldn't cry, so he held back his tears.
He said, "I am four years old now. This is my puppy. My name is Cake."
As he spoke, he patted Cake's back. Cake sat next to him and barked quietly at the tombstone.
Cancan patted his head with satisfaction: "I also have a little cat named Milk."
Shen Jiazhou placed the cat bag next to him, and Cancan patted the cat bag again, and Milk's meowing sound came from the cat bag.
Cancan continued: "I'm in kindergarten now, and I've made a good friend named An'an, but he's not here now. I'll introduce him to you later, okay?"
The wind blew gently, blowing up the cake's hair and the corners of Cancan's clothes, but Cancan didn't feel cold at all. He raised his head to look at the sky, and the wind seemed to kiss his face lightly.
Wen Shuqiao stood aside and looked at the tombstone.
In just that instant, this world had nothing to do with the novel world in her mind.
Cancan has met his father and mother, and has grown up safely. His life trajectory has become completely different.
But she couldn't help but think of Shen Shiyue in the book. Didn't the silent male protagonist get to see his father after the story ended?
"Shuqiao, Shuqiao?" Shen Jiazhou looked at Wen Shuqiao in a daze and called her twice.
Wen Shuqiao came back to his senses: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou asked, "What are you thinking about? I called you just now but you didn't respond."
Wen Shuqiao shook his head gently: "I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just thinking, people are really fragile."
In her previous life, she also slept like this.
She gave Shen Jiazhou a somewhat bitter smile and changed the subject: "Have you told him?"
Shen Jiazhou caught her strange emotion. Seeing that Wen Shuqiao had changed the subject, he thought for a few seconds and then continued, "Not yet. Wait until he finishes."
Wen Shuqiao nodded. Cancan was already talking about what happened recently in the kindergarten. Gu Xingyuan also walked over to them and whispered, "He really didn't say anything about his suffering."
Cancan talked about only happy things, such as puppies and kittens, his good friends, and what he liked to eat and play.
The days in the orphanage, the days of hunger, the days of being bullied, in Cancan's heart, seemed to have all disappeared.
The three adults looked at Cancan who was still kneeling. Shen Jiazhou took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and hugged Cancan with one hand: "Stand up, walk around him, and he will know it's you."
Cancan nodded, he stood up, bent down and brushed the dust off his knees twice, then obediently started walking around from the right side. When he reached the tombstone on the left, he exclaimed, reached behind the tombstone and took out a black velvet box.
He asked in confusion: "Aunt, uncle, what is this?"
Wen Shuqiao also imitated him and asked in confusion: "Aunt doesn't know."
Shen Jiazhou also said: "My uncle doesn't know either."
Cancan looked at Uncle Xingyuan, and Gu Xingyuan quickly waved his hand: "Uncle Xingyuan has no idea."
"Cancan, open it and take a look yourself?" Wen Shuqiao suggested, "We are curious too!"
Cancan was also very curious. He walked to Wen Shuqiao, opened the velvet box with his little hands, and revealed what was inside.
His eyes lit up and he recognized it almost at first sight: "It's the baby's Jin Shanshan!"
Inside the velvet box was the longevity lock that Su Sisi had taken away.
Hearing Cancan's exclamation, Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou subconsciously looked at each other, and then looked away, but at that glance, they saw smiles in each other's eyes.
