199 When Lu Xiaorou was bold
Su Mo has been accompanying Xiaorou to handle the funeral matters in the following few days. Because he no longer thinks he is an immediate relative, the old man’s family doesn’t ask Xiaorou to do much, but Su Mo will also help.
Even for funerals like this, Su Mo was the one who was discussed the most by his elders.
"Whose child is that? He looks so handsome... Why have you never seen him before?"
"Maybe we can introduce our daughter to him."
Although he had been tortured in the hospital for almost a year, the old man had passed away after he was eighty years old. In traditional sense, it was a joyful funeral. Everyone was talking and laughing at the old man's funeral, and several immediate relatives were still arguing over the inheritance of the house.
Of course, for the closest relatives, no matter how old they are, they are mostly unbearable pain.
Lu Xiaorou wore a white turban and quietly followed the speech and arrangements of the funeral celebrating celebrating.
He was obviously the closest person to my grandfather during his lifetime, but when the funeral was held, he could only stand in the corner and pray for his grandfather silently. He did not even have the chance to approach his grandfather before cremation.
However, Xiaorou didn't care about this.
She bowed to her grandfather's portrait like other grandchildren, and kowtowed three times in reverently. From then on, her grandfather's voice, appearance and smile could only remain in Xiaorou's memories.
Su Mo met with his cousin and Qingqing awkwardly at this funeral. Qingqing didn't know much about what Su Mo did, but because it was the funeral, he couldn't say too much to Su Mo's cousin.
My cousin knew what Su Mo did for Xiaorou, and she didn't expect that he would take care of Xiaorou so much. She also talked to Su Mo at the funeral:
"Su Mo...isn't it because my cousin said you... Although Xiaorou is pitiful, that's also a matter between adults. If you have a child in, aren't your parents worried?"
"It's okay, cousin." Su Mo smiled and shook his head, "I have a sense of my own, but I really can't stand Xiaorou like that, so..."
A set of rhetoric that meets adult expectations is simple for Su Mo, who is already close to his 30-year-old mental age.
In this way, the funeral ended without any accidents.
But there are also troublesome things to deal with.
For example, the second aunt who was very owed, was yelling to ask Xiaorou to clear all her things, otherwise she would deal with them all. This attitude obviously did not want to have any connection with Lu Xiaorou, the "restraint".
Of course, Su Mo didn't want Xiaorou to be angry with such a person anymore. He wanted to find someone to help put Xiaorou's things.
In order to facilitate Xiaorou to get it, this person’s home is best located in Wenhan City.
Then the answer is obvious - Su Mo called Jiang Yueling and talked about storing Xiaorou's luggage and belongings - of course, the causes and consequences were roughly explained, and Jiang Yueling, who was jealous of evil, was naturally furious.
"You have to clear Xiaorou's things out? As soon as my grandfather left, will he be going to sweep Xiaorou out? How could there be such a relative!!"
"That's right, I'm not a relative..."
"Yes, put it in my house...but, how much does Xiaorou have?"
Su Mo handed the phone to Lu Xiaorou, "No, not many, Sister Yue Ling, mainly clothes and some souvenir items, about three boxes."
"Don't, don't get me wrong! I'm not worried about your extra stuff... If there are three boxes, it doesn't matter. You can put them in my bedroom at that time."
"No, it's okay... I can just put it in the warehouse-"
"How can that be! I'll go over and help you move things...Yili, what are you doing?—"
Suddenly, Xia Yili's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, is it Xiaorou?"
"Well... Sister Yili."
"You give me the phone number to Brother Su Mo and I'll tell him."
"good."
Su Mo took the phone and Xia Yili continued, "Yue Ling and I went directly to her house. You are here to call us in the same city and take the bus directly."
"That's what I planned... Xiaorou doesn't have many things, so I don't have to bother you to come and help."
Su Mo paused, "And, it's the best choice if you don't come."
"That's right...ah, by the way. You'd better bring some meeting gifts this time, after all, you'll want to meet Yue Ling's parents-"
"See parents?"
"Who said I'm going to see my parents! Is this good that my parents are not at home at all?"
"Huh? That's it... I thought you agreed so readily, just to let Su Mo meet his parents in advance..."
"Who is going to meet Su Mo's parents!"
"Since you don't plan to do this, then when you go back during the Chinese New Year, I will take Su Mo to meet my parents."
"Hmph...it's whatever you want!"
Jiang Yueling hung up the phone, and Su Mo and Lu Xiaorou smiled and looked at each other.
"Let's start sorting things?"
"Uh-huh……"
Since Su Mo said to Lu Xiaorou on the day of the New Year, "This is what I owe you for the rest of my life", Lu Xiaorou seems to be no longer so polite and resistant to trouble Su Mo.
Later, Su Mo also asked Xiaorou indirectly about what Su Mo said at that time, but her answer did not seem to take Su Mo's words seriously, but just regarded them as a means of comforting herself.
I don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing.
Lu Xiaorou's things are indeed not much as she said. The clothes that can be folded with a small suitcase are all her belongings. Compared with those girls who often have clothes in the same wardrobe, they are really different from those girls who often have clothes. In addition, they are some old tutoring books.
Xiaorou's things are stacked neatly together, and it is very convenient to encapsulate them.
While Su Mo was sorting out things for Xiaorou, a watercolor painting accidentally slipped out of the crack of a book.
Su Mo picked up the watercolor painting and immediately showed a happy expression, "Did this... be painted when you were a child? Xiaorou."
"Don't, don't look at that kind of thing, Brother Su Mo..."
Obviously, Xiaorou treats these paintings as her previous dark history, but Su Mo thinks she paints very well.
In addition, the theme of this painting is "Mom and Me".
Lu Xiaorou's mother depicted in watercolor paintings looks like a beautiful and smiling beauty.
It seems that her mother's image is very tall.
Although the second aunt found Xiaorou's birth certificate and confirmed the names of Lu Xiaorou's parents, Lu Xiaorou seemed to have no interest in these two people. On the one hand, there was no time in the third year of high school, and on the other hand, as Xiaorou said before, if they really care about themselves, they would definitely come to find her by themselves.
But the fact is...
"Oh, I found this photo."
Lu Xiaorou found a photo in the miscellaneous items, which was a photo of her grandfather in front of an abandoned green train. Although there was nothing fun from the background, the young Xiaorou had a very youthful smile on her face.
"With this, grandpa can always be with me."
Photos are important things that lock in memories. No matter how smartphones develop, it is difficult to replace the commemorative value of physical photos.
But are there any friends around you who will take physical photos together?
This photo is also something Lu Xiaorou is willing to share with Su Mo.
"Brother Su Mo, do you want to take a good look? I was actually very cute when I was a child."
"What are you saying?"
Su Mo patted Lu Xiaorou's head, "Aren't you very cute now?"
"Hey hey..." Lu Xiaorou touched her head, "I don't think she's cute at this time."
"It's because your photo is smiling brilliantly..."
Su Mo gently pinched Lu Xiaorou's cheek, "I wish one day I could make you smile so brightly."
"Su, Brother Su Mo is my most important family like his grandfather."
"Yeah, that's it..."
Although this may be the highest in Xiaorou's evaluation, Su Mo still has the urge to be treated differently.
"And, and... Speaking of this, Brother Su Mo, there's something I've always kept from you... I think it would be bad to keep it from you..."
"Hey, are you hiding something from me?" Su Mo suddenly became curious. Lu Xiaorou looked very embarrassed and leaned over, talking in a low voice.
"Hey!!!"
After hearing Xiaorou's words, Su Mo immediately exclaimed and lost his voice. He didn't expect that Xiaorou would have such a bold time.
