Chapter 434 Going to the Grave Together
After getting off the expressway, they just found a hotel and stayed there.
The cause of the epidemic is that the hotel industry is not booming now. Even if it is so late, it is quite easy to find a hotel accommodation. At least half of the rooms are empty.
It's an ordinary hotel. It's not luxurious, but it's not messy. It's no problem to stay there.
There are no deluxe suites, they are all ordinary rooms.
If it were normal, Ding Yun wouldn't stay in such a hotel, but now it's the middle of the night, there's no need to be picky.
It will be just one night, and it will be fine.
A total of six people, booked two double rooms and two single rooms.
Two double rooms, one for Ding Yun and Geng Xia.
She also has her own fears in her heart. She is not afraid to live alone in a room, and she must have someone to accompany her.
The other double room is Liu Qing and Su Qi.
Fiancée, living in the same room, of course.
The two single rooms are naturally for Ye Mo and Li Han.
It's all this time, I'm not familiar with this place, and I'm too lazy to go to dinner. Anyway, I brought something to eat, so I won't be hungry.
This double room is not a double room, but two single beds.
However, Liu Qing and Su Qi still slept on the same bed.
The time was a little late, and there was no tossing, and they didn't even take a shower-they were a little worried about this kind of hotel, afraid of installing cameras or something, and secretly taking some bad pictures.
Both are people of status and cannot take such risks.
When lying in bed, naturally you can't do anything.
Even if they don’t consider the issue of candid photography, they don’t have the energy.
When was sleeping, Su Qi obediently curled up in Liu Qing's arms, and suddenly asked, "Will your mother go with you to visit your father's grave?"
"I don't know," Liu Qing shook his head, "I haven't asked, so I probably won't go."
"Are you going to visit your father's grave this morning?" Su Qi asked again.
Liu Qing nodded: "Yes, drive over by yourself, there is enough time."
If you want to go back by CMB, although it is only a hundred miles away, you will have to change cars several times, and you will have to wait a long time for a change, so you will be there in the morning.
It takes more than an hour to drive there by yourself.
Su Qi was silent for a while, and said, "Why don't you do this, if your mother doesn't go to the grave with you, tell me, I'll go with you. My dad's side, I'll go in the afternoon."
Liu Qing was stunned there.
He really didn't expect that Su Qi would offer to accompany him to visit his father's grave.
The situation of the two families is too complicated, and the grievances are too deep. Su Qi took the initiative to say this, which is to lower her dignity.
It is not easy to do this step.
He was moved, but for a while he didn't know how to respond.
just hummed and hugged Su Qi tighter in his arms.
After a while, he said, "In the afternoon... I'll accompany you to visit your father's grave."
In his heart, he has never had a good impression of Su Yi, and it can even be said to be hatred.
But, at this moment, I suddenly figured it out - everyone is already dead, what else is worth worrying about?
Because of a dead person, it is completely unnecessary to make the living person be wronged by his pillow.
People have been buried in the yellow earth, so let the past things pass.
Liu Qing thought so.
Su Qi didn't say anything, she just turned around suddenly, from facing away from him to facing him, wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing her mouth close.
…
The next day, after eight o'clock, they checked out, had a casual breakfast outside, and then set off again.
Geng Xia followed Ding Yun several times, this time she was driving the Rolls-Royce to lead the way, and the other two cars followed.
The next road is not a highway, and there are many forks along the way. It is easy to make mistakes when driving on the navigation. Without a familiar person opening the road ahead, it is easy to go wrong.
Liu Qing went home quite a few times, but he really didn't know the road very well. He always took the minibus to go home, and he didn't drive by himself. Listen to music with headphones, or sleep with your eyes closed, and get off at the station.
This is the first time he has taken a private car back to his hometown.
I slept late at night, and when I got into the car, I was still a little dazed.
He didn't sit in the passenger seat, but sat in the back seat, squinting and dozing off there.
Not long after, the phone rang, waking him up from the haze.
was a call from Ding Yun: "Your grandparents haven't seen you for a long time. Would you like to follow me to see them later?"
Grandpa and Grandma...
Liu Qing heard such a name, and a wave of disgust came to her heart.
After the parents divorced, the relatives over there were no longer relatives, and even more like enemies.
Liu Qing remembers one thing most clearly, that is, after Ding Yun left, his grandfather and grandmother brought some people over to remove some valuable electrical furniture in the house, saying that it was what Ding Yun deserved for divorce.
Just that one incident made him no longer have any good feelings for the relatives of Ding Yun's family.
Now Ding Yun let him go, he really didn't want to.
hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mom, I want to visit my father's grave first after I go back."
"That's what it should be." Ding Yun said.
There was a hint of unhappiness in that voice.
"Mom, are you going?" Liu Qing still couldn't help but ask.
Ding Yun was silent for a while before she said, "I...let's forget it...I'll go to your grandfather's house later."
Liu Qing was inevitably disappointed, but he could only accept it and replied, "Oh, I see."
"I don't have the face to see your father..." Ding Yun said again.
This is the truth.
In her life, the person she felt most guilty about was her ex-husband, Liu Qing's father.
This sense of guilt is much deeper than that of Liu Qing.
After all, there is still a chance to make up for the damage to Liu Qing.
And the damage to that man will never have a chance to make up for it.
In the beginning, if the man didn't agree, she would have no way to divorce, so she would not be able to marry Su Yi and live a prosperous life.
And what she repaid to that man was hurt.
She doesn't regret her choice.
Let her choose again, and she will still choose that way.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't feel guilty about that man.
There is no face to face that man, this is indeed her true thoughts.
Liu Qing didn't know what to say for a while.
"You..." Ding Yun asked again, "After sweeping your father's grave, do you want to see your grandparents? If you do, I'll let them prepare lunch for you."
Liu Qing said: "Su Qi said that she will accompany me to visit my father's grave in the morning."
seems to be the wrong answer, but Ding Yun understands what he means:
"So you go to accompany her in the afternoon and visit her father's grave, right?"
Liu Qing hummed, and then asked, "Is this okay?"
He was still a little nervous about this.
He knew that Ding Yun didn't like Su Yi very much, and he also had some dislikes towards Su Qi, so it was a bit rebellious to accompany Su Qi to visit Su Yi's grave.
However, Su Qi is willing to accompany him to visit his father's grave. He must have a reciprocal response, or he will ignore the goodwill released by the other party and violate the dignity of the other party.
When two people get along, no one should continue to give without repayment.
He still understands this principle.
"No problem, this is what you should do."
Ding Yun said, sighed, and said:
"That girl does some things very well, and you are very lucky."
Hearing such an answer, Liu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then called Su Qi: "My mother is not with me, she will go to my grandfather's house."
"Understood, I'll follow your car." Su Qi replied.
After more than half an hour, the small motorcade drove to the county seat and passed through the county seat.
When I was in the city, I saw most of the pedestrians on the street wearing masks.
But when you enter the county seat, you basically can't see pedestrians wearing masks. In some places, there are many people, and there is not a single person wearing a mask. It seems that Liu Qing is quite frightened.
He also cared about the news from his hometown, and knew that there were no confirmed cases or even suspected cases in his hometown.
Safety is safety, but people who come and go on the street don’t wear masks, are they really not afraid of infection?
——As a mask manufacturer, Liu Qing fell into deep anxiety.
This is really bad!
Look out of the car window, that is, some supermarkets and shops are wearing masks, some people enter the supermarket, they will take out the masks in their pockets and put them on, and they will take them off when they come out.
The reason why they do that is probably because the relevant places have regulations, and they do not have any awareness of epidemic prevention.
However, in Liu Qing's memory, there has been no epidemic in the county town of his hometown for more than a year.
can only say that luck is relatively good.
After passing through the county seat, after driving for more than ten miles, Ding Yun's Rolls-Royce turned in from a road crossing.
Liu Qing instructed Ye Mo: "Continue to drive forward."
Ye Mo heard the phone call from Liu Qing and Ding Yun, and knew that their mother and son were not going to the same place. He was not surprised by Liu Qing's command, and continued to drive forward.
In the back, Su Qi's BMW followed closely behind with a gap of more than ten meters.
Passed a town, passed another town, drove out of the town behind, and there was a fork on the right. Liu Qing reminded in time that Ye Mo would drive into the fork as soon as he turned the steering wheel.
That is the country road in their town. After passing five or six villages, it will reach his hometown.
Liu Qing is familiar with the section of the road from the county seat to his home.
Because he was reluctant to pay the fare, he used to ride a bicycle from home to the county town many times to buy medicine for his father.
The round trip is more than 40 kilometers, which takes more than half a day.
The number of times back and forth is more, and I am very familiar with that section of the road.
It's just that the development of the township has been relatively large in the past ten years. The road from the village to the town for more than ten miles has changed from the original dirt road with potholes to the current cement road.
When he first discovered that the road had become a concrete road, Liu Qing had a thought in his heart:
"It should be a lot easier to go to the county seat by bicycle now, right?"
Although the rural road is a concrete road, the road surface is not as wide as the county-level road. Two large concrete piers were placed at the intersection to further narrow the road surface to prevent large trucks from entering.
On such a road, a truck with a heavy load will come in, and it will be crushed after a few trips.
The road can allow two minibuses to pass by, but be careful.
The car is fine.
When we got here, Ye Mo drove a lot slower.
There are people on both sides of the road. If you drive too fast, you might crush other people's chickens and dogs to death.
Ye Mo is from the north. It was the first time he came to the southern countryside. He felt very fresh and said to Liu Qing, "You guys are pretty good."
It is spring now, and the road is full of unbridled green, which makes them feel very happy just coming out of the concrete forest.
Liu Qing nodded: "I also think it's pretty good. I thought about it before. If you have money, you won't be in the city. If you go back to the countryside, build a big villa, raise two dogs, raise dozens of chickens, breed Order food, and you can retire here.”
"You also have money now, why don't you do this?" Ye Mo asked curiously.
Liu Qing sighed: "At that time, how could I have thought of having so much money now? When I found out that I could live comfortably by buying a big villa in the city, I had no idea of coming to the countryside to retire."
Many people want to go to the countryside to retire when they are old. They say they like the tranquility of the countryside, but in fact they like the low consumption in the countryside.
Real rich people still prefer city life.
Especially those young people, few can stay in the country.
Liu Qing's biggest dream in the past was to buy a lottery ticket of 5 million, and then stop working, spend a million to build a small villa in the countryside, and save the rest of the money in the bank. Interest income, then you can live a happy retirement life leisurely.
But now that he is a billionaire, he can live a leisurely life in a big city, and he does not need to come to the countryside to live his life carefully.
There are still many inconveniences in the countryside.
Driving all the way, some houses are very dilapidated, and the front door has been covered with weeds. It looks like no one has lived for a long time.
Some houses are quite luxurious, and the interior decoration is unknown. From the outside, it looks like a small villa.
In recent years, the living conditions of rural people have also been greatly improved, but a large number of people have poured into the cities, and the people left in the countryside are basically the elderly and children.
Sometimes you can see tombs, tombstones and colorful spiritual flags on the roadside.
Spirit flags, also known as soul-calling flags, are placed on graves during the Qingming Festival here to conjure the souls of deceased relatives.
There is a shop that sells this.
The car continued to drive in, and finally drove to the village where Liu Qing was born.
At a shop by the roadside, Liu Qing asked Ye Mo to stop.
That shop is at an intersection.
That road leads to a mountain.
Liu Qing's father was buried on that mountain.
Thanks to the old pharmacy blacksmith and Chu Yu for the reward
