After listening to my words, manna's expression eased slowly.
She turned her head and nodded at me. "You're right. People should always let others make a decision. After all, the most important thing has been decided by themselves, and other things don't matter, right?"
"Yes." I nodded.
I don't know if these words are really useful for manna.
In short, in the later time, manna's mood has always been very peaceful, without the appearance of being sad to die.
Soon, Gan's father's body was pushed into the cremator and quickly pushed out, leaving only a pile of ashes.
The larger bones can't be completely burned into powder, so relatives need to break them with a hammer in order to put them into the urn.
The staff asked who was the family member and asked the family member to do it.
According to the rules, it should be the eldest daughter and eldest son.
But before I took the hammer, manna stopped in front of me, pleading in her eyes, "let me come, let me come."
"All right." I nodded and stepped aside.
Manna held the small hammer tightly. Every time, it seemed that she had exhausted all her strength. It was very hard.
When the ashes were all installed, she returned the hammer to the staff and squeezed out a smile at me.
Softly asked me, "is this my decision for Gan's father?"
"Well, count." I nodded.
Holding the urn, we drove back to the city. It was already evening.
And we didn't eat. Only little leaves ate some milk powder and were sleeping in swaddling clothes.
"Why don't we find a place to eat." I suggested.
Even if something big happens, you should eat.
Otherwise, if you're tired out, how can you take Gan's father back to Beijing.
But manna said she had no appetite. She held the urn tightly in her hands. "I'm not hungry. Go eat. I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room to have a rest."
Although she does look very tired, which of us is not?
Even Xiaoxing, who is still in kindergarten, has been keenly aware of the sadness in the air.
All the way, I looked down at the chocolate in my pocket. It was pinched open. It flowed like water in the bag, but I was reluctant to throw it away.
"Go and have some. Just have some. It won't take too long." I said.
But manna still shook her head, "no, I don't want to eat. Just go."
I was going to persuade again. Lawyer Liu stood up and grabbed manna's shoulder. "It doesn't matter. We can order takeout. Go eat and I'll accompany manna."
If someone takes care of manna, I'm much more relieved.
Nodding, he and Huo Tinggui left for dinner.
To be honest, I don't have much appetite.
After only two mouthfuls of pasta, I couldn't eat any more.
He sat with his fork in his seat and his eyes were a little empty.
I don't know how long later, Huo Tinggui handed me a plate full of cut steak and gently asked me, "are you still thinking about Dad Gan? Don't think about it. Eat first. "
Well, I said, the fork was inserted around the plate of steak, but it was not inserted at all.
The depressed mood of the day suddenly collapsed because he couldn't eat steak.
Tears fell into the plate and choked and asked Huo Tinggui, "why, why am I so unlucky to find my father? It won't be long before I will be separated forever. Why does the Lord treat me like this?"
"Never mind, and me." Huo Tinggui patted me on the shoulder over the table and handed the steak to my mouth. "Dad Gan didn't walk with you. I'll walk with you, okay?"
"I will never have a father again. Huo Tinggui, no more. My relatives in this world are gone." I'm still emotionally broken.
But Huo Tinggui corrected me, "and, I'm your relative, the little star is, the little leaf is, and the manna. Even if you have no blood relationship, you're also the best relative, you know?"
In that foreign restaurant, the wailing me, the patiently comforting Huo Tinggui, and the confused little stars and leaves nearby attracted the attention of countless diners.
Although they didn't understand the language, they still felt that I had something particularly sad.
When I was almost crying, the waiter brought me a small cake and said it was given to me by the guests. I hope the sweet things can make me feel better.
When I heard this sentence, my tears couldn't help falling down again.
By the time I got to the door of the hotel room, my eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Huo Tinggui said to go to the front desk and ask for an ice pack for me. Let me take the child back to my room first.
I made a sound, took my room card and prepared to swipe it into the room. Only then did I find that the door of the room next door was not closed tightly, and there was a buzzing sound inside.
It looks like some machine is running.
With curiosity, I gently opened the door and walked in. I found that manna had fallen asleep in bed, with obvious tears on my face.
After I came back, I must have suffered a lot because of Gan's father?
Just thinking, Lawyer Liu came out of the kitchen with a pot of green things.
He was startled to see me.
Then he quickly looked at the nectar on the bed and was relieved when he was sure he didn't wake up.
"Young grandma, when did you come back? I just wanted to call you." Lawyer Liu said.
I didn't answer. I just pointed to the basin and asked, "what's this?"
"Spinach juice, I beat it with a cooking machine." Lawyer Liu replied.
Why do you make spinach juice at night?
Before I continued to ask, Lawyer Liu explained, "Lulu refused to eat anything after she came back. I was also worried. Later, I saw him staring at the bowls and chopsticks of noodles in the morning. I think he must miss Gan's father, so I want to make the vegetable noodles made by Gan's father for him again."
Can't see my father, but it's also a comfort to eat vegetable noodles with the same taste as my father?
My heart couldn't help moving.
Ganlu is really happy to meet such a good man as Lawyer Liu.
"Are you going to call me because you don't know the next steps?" I asked.
Lawyer Liu nodded, "although I recorded the video, I don't dare to open it now. I'm afraid manna will be more sad to hear the voice."
I rolled up my sleeves. "Then I'll help you do it. I'll do it. I'll teach you."
Even if there is no Gan dad in the world, there are still many traces and memories left by Gan dad.
As long as we have these, Gump's father never left.
