Chapter 72 Photo
The day before the final exam began, Li Mingyi passed away.
When Jiang Feng received the call, he was rushing to carry Ma Yuan in his dormitory. His mind was filled with materialism and dialectics. Suddenly, his brain froze after hearing this bolt from the blue news.
Li Mingyi passed away.
This was the first time Jiang Feng faced the death of a relative.
Even though Chen Suhua had already told him that Li Ming was dying, death seemed so illusory and distant to Jiang Feng. As if he was deliberately going against the doctor, who said he only had half a month to live at most, Li Mingyi insisted on holding on for 16 days and passed away peacefully at ten in the morning.
The funeral home has been contacted and the funeral is scheduled for six days later. The Jiang family will help handle the funeral arrangements.
The Li family was already very small. There were only a few relatives in the family, but they all broke off during the special period and never had any contact with them again. Professor Li has no children, few relatives and friends, and there is a death at home, which makes him even more lonely and desolate.
After the exam, Ma Yuan Jiang Feng went to Professor Li's house to help.
The old man took Jiang Jiankang and several of Jiang Feng's uncles to the funeral home. Several of Jiang Feng's cousins were either out of town or working or studying, so he was the only one left to go to Professor Li's house to help Chen Suhua sort out Li Ming. A relic of one.
That is some clothes and photos.
The staff at the funeral home asked Chen Suhua to pick out some photos of Li Ming's life. Chen Suhua looked at those old photos and became more and more sad. She rolled her eyes redly and burst into tears. She could only organize her clothes and let Jiang Feng pick out the photos. .
The photos are all in a thick photo album, which is the photo album that Li Ming loved to look through in his life. Most of them are photos of him and Jiang Huiqin. After Jiang Huiqin's death, Li Mingyi never took any other photos except family photos. .
"Dad was in good spirits yesterday. He drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning. Then he got excited and asked me to take out the photo album and show it to him. He sat on the sofa and flipped through the photos. I thought he was sleeping. I was pregnant. I wanted to wake him up at noon and ask him if he wanted to eat, but I didn’t expect..." Chen Suhua choked up and started crying again as she spoke. It took a long time to calm down.
"Xiao Feng, please pick more photos of your great-aunt and great-aunt, so that your great-aunt will be happy to see them down there," Chen Suhua said.
Jiang Feng didn't know how to answer, nor what mood he should use to treat this photo album.
Death was so unfamiliar to him that it had no sense of reality. Even if everyone told him that Li Mingyi had passed away and he saw his cold body in the funeral parlor, Jiang Feng didn't feel that he had passed away.
This room is full of the atmosphere of his life, and the past between him and Jiang Huiqin is still vivid in Jiang Feng's mind. Jiang Feng opened the photo album, and according to Chen Suhua's words, he only looked for photos of Li Mingyi and Jiang Huiqin.
"Auntie, how about this one?" Jiang Feng found one that met the requirements and picked up the album to show it to Chen Suhua.
In the black and white photo, young Li Mingyi and Chen Suhua were standing in front of a Western-style building. Their faces were smiling but a little stiff. They both looked tired.
"This one won't work. Your great-aunt doesn't like it." Chen Suhua just glanced at it and rejected it. "This photo was taken before your great-aunt and great-aunt moved to San Francisco during the Anti-Japanese War in front of their new home. Your great-aunt didn't like it." I don’t like that place, and neither does your great-aunt.”
No wonder they both seemed unhappy even though it was a housewarming ceremony.
Jiang Feng was about to turn the next page.
When turning the pages, my palms covered the photos.
"Ding, get the prop: [A memory of Li Mingyi]." The system prompt suddenly came to mind.
Jiang Feng was stunned.
Did he just...do something?
Jiang Feng soon realized that he had just touched the photo with his hand.
Somehow, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that when he completed the side mission of [The Last Medicine], the game gave him two memories at once. At that time, he sighed that the game suddenly became more generous. Now it seems that this is not the case.
He seemed to have come across a photo at that time, which seemed to be the wedding photo of Li Mingyi and Jiang Huiqin.
In order to verify his conjecture, Jiang Feng touched the photos in the album from beginning to end, and finally obtained another [a memory of Li Mingyi] on a black and white family photo.
It was a great harvest to receive two memories at once. Jiang Feng looked through the album from beginning to end again and picked out 9 photos that Chen Suhua had no objection to, including the marriage certificates of Li Mingyi and Jiang Huiqin.
Most of the photos in this album are old black-and-white photos taken during the Republic of China, and many of them even have negatives. It is not easy to preserve them intact until now.
The old things that Li Mingyi had used and the old clothes that Chen Suhua had worn were all carefully sorted and put away. Jiang Feng was there to help. It took him a whole day to put away all the old things.
Jiang Feng had an exam the next day. After saying goodbye to Chen Suhua, he went back to school.
The memorial service was very simple.
It was a small memorial service with not many people in attendance. All the people who came were Professor Li’s old friends. Basically all of Li Mingyi’s old friends in Peking had passed away or could not be contacted. Those who were still alive also came because of health reasons. If not, send a junior member of the family to come.
Jiang Feng discovered that Professor Li had aged overnight.
His only remaining relative in this world is Chen Suhua.
The old man originally wanted to invite Professor Li to go to Z city with them to celebrate the New Year, but Professor Li refused on the grounds that there was a funeral in the family, so the old man had no choice but to give up.
As soon as Jiang Feng finished his final exam, Jiang Jiankang closed the healthy cooking restaurant, stopped doing business, and booked the nearest train ticket. It was like an overseas Chinese who had not returned to his hometown for more than ten years.
Because of this, it was discovered that Jiang Feng had booked a ticket to Shu.
What greeted him was the three-chamber trial.
In the evening, Jianjian Wok was closed. Jiang Jiangan, Wang Xiulian, and Jiang Weiguo, the three giant Buddhas, sat in front of Jiang Feng and stared at him critically. Three black shadows enveloped Jiang Feng, and invisible and tangible coercion attacked him overwhelmingly. .
"Tell me, son, we are just curious and caring about you. If you don't go home during the holidays, why are you secretly booking tickets to Sichuan behind our backs?" Jiang Jianjian sang the red face first.
"I just... just think Shu is fun. I haven't been there and want to take advantage of the holiday to play." Jiang Feng began to make up nonsense.
Jiang Weiguo has been in a low mood since Li Mingyi's death. He was still counting on going to Shu to find someone to surprise the old man and make him happy during the New Year. How could he do it now?
You have to find it to have a sense of surprise.
"You want to enjoy the summer vacation but can't you? Are you going to play when the Chinese New Year is about to come? And you deliberately hid it from us. Tell me the truth, why are you going to Sichuan!" Comrade Wang Xiulian was angry at herself.
"It's too hot during the summer vacation, why don't you feel cooler during the winter vacation! Comrade Wang Xiulian, what are you thinking about? There are too many things going on during this period. I just forgot to say something and deliberately hid it. There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, so I just thought Let’s go play for two days before the end of the year,” Jiang Feng said.
"Yeah, it's really too hot to go to Shu during the summer vacation. It's better to go there during the winter vacation." Jiang Jianjiang was bypassed by Jiang Feng on the spot.
"Do you believe the nonsense he said? You don't know what your son is like?" Comrade Wang Xiulian glared at Jiang Jianjian fiercely, expressing her disdain for such a teammate who was not firm in his stance. "Son, it's not like your parents won't let you go." You go, but you have to tell the truth. Even if you are twenty, you are still a child here. You went to Shu without telling us and didn't tell us the reason. Doesn't that make us worried? ”
Jiang Feng was shocked. He did not expect that Comrade Wang Xiulian would retreat in order to advance, leaving him in a dilemma.
"I really just went to have fun, Mom, you really think too much." Jiang Feng insisted and refused to let go.
How could Wang Xiulian's surname be Jiang Feng? If he didn't tell her, she would just guess: "Son, are you in love?"
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
How did Comrade Wang Xiulian associate it with his emotional problems from the fact that he was going to Shu without telling everyone?
He has been in contact with kitchen knives and pots every day. When it comes to love, should he talk with the kitchen knife or the three pots in the kitchen?
"Mom, what are you thinking about? Who am I going to fall in love with when I stay in the kitchen under your nose every day?" Jiang Feng was stunned.
"You can't fall in love every day under my nose. It's not a puppy love for a high school student to fall in love every day under the teacher's nose. Tell the truth, do you want to go to Shu with your girlfriend?"
"No, you are alone. Is your girlfriend from Shu?"
"Is it Qianqian? She is from Shu! Is it her!" Wang Xiulian said categorically that the case had been solved.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Comrade Wang Xiulian’s divine logic!
Jiang Feng didn't know where to start his rebuttal.
"Qianqian? Although Qianqian can eat, she doesn't gain weight. Son, it's better to find a strong girlfriend." Jiang Jianjian miraculously followed Wang Xiulian's logic.
Jiang Feng:...
"I didn't! I'm not in love! I just went to have fun. I really just went to have fun. Liu Qian went directly back to her hometown to County B in Shu. I went to the provincial capital, which is not the same place at all." Jiang Feng He said loudly, "Mom and Dad, I beg you not to think so much. I am not a high school student, and my falling in love is not considered puppy love. Why should I hide it from you?"
"If it's not Qianqian, I think Wu Minqi is from the provincial capital of Shu, right?" Jiang Jianjiang didn't listen to Jiang Feng's words at all.
Jiang Feng:...
"Impossible. It's impossible for a girl whose family is rich, pretty and good at cooking to like our son." Wang Xiulian objected directly.
Jiang Jiankang nodded in agreement.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Where am I...
Okay, so it seems like it's not worthy.
The couple completely ignored Jiang Feng. After a self-centered analysis, they found that the possibility of Jiang Feng falling in love behind their backs was really slim, so they gave up the topic.
"Okay, let's assume that your parents have wronged you. Why are you going to Shu?" Wang Xiulian said.
Jiang Feng:...
We have come full circle and come back to this issue.
"I really just went to have fun."
"You..."
"Okay, Xiaofeng is so old, there is no need to worry so much. He can go wherever he wants. Don't worry about it if the child is happy." The old man who had watched the show for a long time came out and interrupted Comrade Wang Xiulian, and finally said, " How many days will you go?”
"Five days." Jiang Feng felt that if he couldn't find any clues in five days, it would be a waste of time.
"Remember to make up for the missed exercises when you come back." The old man stood up. It was getting late and it was time for him to go to Jiang Feng's fifth uncle's house to rest.
After the old man left, Jiang Jianjiang still refused to give up. He pulled Jiang Feng and asked secretly: "Son, tell dad secretly whether you are in love with Qianqian or not. Dad just said that he has no objection."
"Dad, I really don't have one!"
Jiang Feng wanted to cry but had no tears.
He is just a twenty-year-old kid, why should he suffer the same treatment as his elder cousin, who is forced to get married during the Chinese New Year? Thank you Chongchong X Chongchong Fei for the reward of 100 starting coins
