Chapter 512 It’s Nice to Have a Home
The old man said in a heavy tone: "She died during the liberation of Shanghai, and was buried in a cemetery outside Shanghai with many of her comrades who died."
Seeing her grandfather immersed in sadness and memories, Chen Kexin secretly regretted bringing up this topic.
She hurriedly said, "Don't be sad, Grandpa. We will go to Shanghai to see my aunt in the spring. When we bury the two old people together, they will definitely be very happy."
The old man nodded slightly and said, "I believe it! When your uncle was alive, he said that if he could be buried with his wife after his death, he would be happy in his grave."
According to the old man, he wanted to keep his brother-in-law's ashes at home and wait until the spring to dig up his sister's ashes.
Thinking about the elegant and noble in-laws in my family, if there was an urn at home... I had to give up this idea and decided to store my brother-in-law's urn in the cemetery.
Chen Kexin had no idea what her grandfather was thinking. She wanted to distract him from his sorrow, so she counted on her fingers and said, "I will be very busy after the spring. I have to build the wall of the compound, build a house in the pig farm, and a pigpen, chicken and duck pen. I also have to repair the newly bought courtyard house, and go to Shanghai to hold a funeral..."
Seeing his eldest granddaughter shaking her head cutely, the old man felt relieved at once.
"Before or after the New Year, Grandpa will go through the retirement procedures and help you after the spring!"
Song Mo smiled flatteringly and said, "I'll try my best to help you too!"
When they arrived at Babaoshan Cemetery to complete the deposit procedures, Chen Kexin took the wooden box wrapped in white cloth from her grandfather. She seemed to hear her great-uncle's instructions and feel his loving gaze.
"Uncle, if you stay here for a few months, you will be reunited with your aunt. You must take care of yourself. Grandpa and I will come to visit you often..."
As she whispered this, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell uncontrollably.
A pair of old hands decisively took the box wrapped in white cloth, placed it steadily on a fixed shelf, and said angrily: "You girl, don't shed tears on your uncle."
In the old man’s mind, the wooden box represents his brother-in-law’s body.
Chen Kexin wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, "Grandpa, I know..."
I heard that after a person dies, the tears of their relatives will make the deceased uneasy.
The old man had warned her several times to be careful, and of course she would not knowingly commit a crime.
After the old man put the box away, he patted his granddaughter on the shoulder comfortingly and said in a heavy tone: "Be good, let's go..."
Song Mo knew how his wife felt, so he quietly held her little hand, wanting to share her sorrow and pain.
When the group returned home, the aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen and several people were immediately attracted.
The old man said with emotion: "It feels so good to be home. I am finally back..."
Song Mo nodded and said, "Grandpa misses home. I also missed home when I was on the battlefield."
After experiencing life and death, they cherish their present life more and yearn for the warmth of home more.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Wang Qiaolian came out with a few children.
Several children rushed forward and shouted in unison: "Grandpa, brother-in-law is back? Are you feeling better?"
"Grandpa, brother-in-law, I want to go to the hospital to see you, but my parents said they are afraid of disturbing your rest."
"Grandpa, brother-in-law, I miss you..."
Several children expressed their true feelings. The old man and Song Mo suddenly felt surrounded by family love.
Wang Qiaolian said angrily: "Let your grandfather and brother-in-law come in first, these kids are really ignorant..."
The little guys quickly pulled their grandfather and brother-in-law into the house.
Chen Kexin walked at the end with a smile.
In the room, Old Lady Wang stood up and said politely, "My dear relatives, I wanted to pick you up, but the children said it was cold outside and they were afraid I would catch a cold..."
Chen Jianguo said politely: "That's right. We are old and cannot compare with young people. We should listen more to what children say."
Although the two elderly people had different experiences, they had both been separated from their relatives for many years and felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
Song Mo said gratefully: "I heard from Ke Xin that you treated her very well. Thank you, grandma."
Seeing her eldest grandson-in-law's radiant face after a few days of recuperation, Old Lady Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are very good. No wonder my granddaughter is so infatuated with you."
Song Mo glanced at his young wife's shy and cute face, and his heart suddenly felt happy.
At this time, Wang Qiaolian said to everyone: "It's time to eat!"
Chen Kexin hurried to the kitchen, added some seasonings without making a sound, and brought the food to everyone. The whole family sat around the table and started to eat.
After dinner, the old man called Chen Kexin to his room, handed her a rather heavy file bag and said, "Here are my salary and bonus, and by the way, there is also a retirement settlement fee. I will give it to you after I complete the retirement procedures, which may be after the New Year. There is also your uncle's pension in here, you can keep it all."
Chen Kexin took the file bag and felt the heaviness inside.
"Grandpa, I have money, you can keep it."
"Didn't you say you don't have much RMB left? Grandpa knows you won't spend money recklessly, so use it to invest. When you make money in the future, share it with your younger brothers and sisters when they grow up. I still have some pocket money."
Chen Kexin's eyes turned red as she accepted the money.
As soon as she walked out of her grandfather's room, Song Mo called her into the room and whispered, "Wife, this is my salary for the past few months and the bonus for completing the task. Please accept it."
Another heavy file bag was handed over and Chen Kexin took it.
She took the money out of the file bag and counted it, a total of more than 1,500 yuan.
She made a decision quickly. "Song Mo, let's go to my second sister's house that day and give her the child support for Goudan and Dani next year. I'm afraid I'll be too busy that month and forget about it."
"OK!"
"Then you can keep the 500 yuan child support first. This is your pocket money."
"good!"
Chen Kexin just put away the thousand yuan.
Song Mo hesitated and said, "Wife, we can register for marriage next summer. I think we should wait until I graduate before getting married."
Chen Kexin looked at him in confusion. Hasn't this guy always been anxious? Why do you voluntarily postpone your wedding?
"Why?"
Song Mo didn't dare to look at him, and said evasively: "We are all busy, there is no rush to get married."
Of course Chen Kexin didn't believe this. She grabbed his ears with both hands fiercely and looked into his evasive eyes.
"I want to hear the truth!"
Song Mo suddenly felt as if his ears were electrified, and his whole body felt strange.
His ears immediately turned red, and he whispered weakly, "Wife, I dream of having a home of our own. But I heard that after a man starts having sex, he will miss his wife terribly. If there is a mission in the military academy, I may not be able to see you for several months. It is better to wait until graduation..."
When Chen Kexin heard this, her face immediately turned red. It is said that men think with their lower body, but she didn't expect that he was thinking about that before getting married.
The little hand quickly loosened, no longer daring to look the other in the eye, blushing and lowering her head, she said, "Okay!"
Just as I was about to pull back and leave, he hugged me.
A big face came closer, and a warm feeling came over me, and my lips seemed to be bitten...
At this moment, Song Mo was overjoyed. Today he finally had the chance to kiss, hug and lift her up high...
