The cemetery is a little far away. It's almost noon when we get on the bus safely.
After parking the car, Dai Yizhi walks inside with Mu Chengyan holding flowers.
Because it was her first visit to the cemetery, she couldn't help looking around.
The view of the cemetery is very good, with lush green trees, good air and quiet environment.
Mu Chengyan's look is a little dignified. Dai Yizhi takes back his sight and clenches his hand. He asks softly, "are you OK with Mu Chengyan?"
Mu Chengyan looked down at her, "um," and led her forward.
Although he looks the same as usual, Dai Yizhi seems to be able to feel his fluctuating emotions. He is not as calm as it seems, but she doesn't know what to say.
Neither of them spoke, so they went a long way in silence.
There was a long step in front of us, with cemeteries on both sides.
It's not only the two of them who come to see the deceased at this time. The couple in the distance should be mother and son. The child kneels in front of the tombstone, and the woman stands beside to wipe her tears. The atmosphere is a little sad and dignified.
Dai Yi couldn't help but look at it more. At this time, Mu Chengyan, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
"Actually, I haven't come to see her for many years."
Dai Yizhi stopped and looked at him. Her throat was suddenly a little dry. She clenched his hand: "are you worried that Auntie will blame you?"
Mu Chengyan took a deep breath and looked up at the next day. After a while, he said, "before I went to high school, I probably came to see her twice. One was when she was buried, and the other was when she was 15 years old. After high school, I came to see her in college, and then... To this day. "
At first, the old lady worried that Cheng Qingqing would stimulate him, so she never let him come to see her.
As an adult, he didn't have the courage to come.
At the time of the accident, Mu Chengyan often had nightmares, dreaming of Cheng Qingqing's ferocious face pouring him with sleeping pills. He suffered from this mental torture for a long time. A year and a half later, he was found to have mild autism.
See a psychiatrist for a long time, recovered and hit the rebellious period of youth.
At that time, he made trouble in school every two or three days. At that time, the old lady was very angry with him, but she was reluctant to fight and scold.
Fighting, making trouble, doing all kinds of bad things. When he was most rebellious, he even tried to kill people.
I remember that year was senior one. He and Wei Liangxi were playing games in the Internet bar late into the night. When they left, they had to go through a long alley. They happened to meet a man who was fighting a mother and son.
Things have been going on for many years, but the scene of Mu Youhui's family violence against Cheng Qingqing has always been in Mu Chengyan's mind. What he hates most is the man who beats his wife and children.
The picture of the man beating his wife irritated him. Without thinking about it, he bent down to pick up a brick and rushed up.
At that time, if Wei Liangxi and Lin Yankai had not stopped him, he might have killed the man.
After that, the man was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Although he stopped a domestic violence, he went to the juvenile reformatory because of it and stayed in it for a week before he was released.
The man who was seriously injured by him woke up and said he would be charged with intentional injury.
As for how things were solved later, Mu Chengyan didn't know. It was probably the old lady.
Mu Chengyan's words let Dai Yi know that the tip of her nose is sour. She holds a flower in one hand, opens her arm and hugs him around his waist. With a soft voice and a little nostril, she painfully says to him, "Auntie won't blame you. In the future, if you want to see auntie, I'll accompany you. You won't be alone any more."
Mu Chengyan looked down at the person in his arms and rubbed her hair with a smile: "good."
Before long, Dai Yizhi followed Mu Chengyan to Cheng Qingqing's tomb.
The photos on the tombstone are as beautiful as those on the photo frame she accidentally broke a few years ago, with long hair and a smile on her face, which makes people feel very kind.
She put the flowers down and said to Cheng Qingqing, "Hello, auntie. I'm Mu Chengyan's girlfriend when I first met. My name is Dai Yizhi."
Mu Chengyan embraces her and corrects what she just said: "it's fiancee."
Dai Yi know face slightly red, pushed him: "you don't interrupt my aunt's chat."
Mu Chengyan turned to the young woman in the photo: "Mom, this is my fiancee, your daughter-in-law. Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk slowly. I'll go somewhere else for a while. "
Dai Yizhi drove him away: "I'll call you later, you can come back, you know."
Mu Chengyan hugs her and kisses her, then turns and walks away.
Dai Yizhi stares at his figure, takes back his sight, bends down to move the position of the flower, and says, "Auntie, how have you been these years? I've seen your portrait before. You look so beautiful. Mu Chengyan must have inherited it from you. Thank you for making him so beautiful. "
Mu Chengyan went out, came to the steps and sat down at random.
Piantou, you can still see Dai Yizhi's figure here.
He thought for a long time before he decided to bring Dai Yizhi to see Cheng Qingqing.
Before he didn't bring her, he had his own worries, but now they have decided to get married. The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in law. Besides, his twigs are so cute and likable.
Dai Yizhi talks with Cheng Qingqing alone for a long time. She says what she wants to say. Although Cheng Qingqing can't respond to her, she feels a big stone has fallen in her heart.
Finally, she looked at the photo on the tombstone, her eyes were slightly red, and slowly said: "Auntie, Mu Chengyan has not come to see you for so many years. When he came, he was worried that you would be angry with him, but I know you must not blame him. Auntie, Mu Chengyan has never blamed you for what happened in those years, so don't be sad, and don't blame yourself. In the following days, I will double love him and give him all I have, so you can trust me to take care of him. "
Mu Chengyan stayed alone for a long time before he received a call from Dai Yizhi. He talked to Cheng Qingqing in the past, and they left the cemetery.
"What did you just talk to my mother about, laughing so happily?"
Dai Yizhi held his arm, still with a smile on his face. He shook his head and said, "if I don't tell you, it's my secret and my aunt's secret."
"Share it?"
"That's no good. I'll tell my aunt. No one will tell me."
Mu Chengyan laughed, "OK, then I won't ask."
It's already afternoon when we get back to the city. More than two hours have passed since dinner time. Before sending Dai Yizhi back to his apartment, they make do with some food in the restaurant outside.
When I came back to the community after dinner, Mu Chengyan was nearly half an hour late for the meeting in the company.
Dai Yizhi knew that he had something to do, so he got off the car at the gate of the community: "I'll just go back myself. Go to the company quickly. Pay attention to safety on the road."
Mu Chengyan put his hands on the steering wheel, leaned slightly, looked at her through the window: "dinner together in the evening, I'll come back to pick you up."
Dai Yizhi waved his hand and laughed at him: "I see. Bye. Drive slowly."
