Roaming in the dark

Chapter 222 Leaving Sister Chen's Home

After leaving Sister Chen's house and arriving at the gate of the community, several hours passed, and Zhong Xinxin was still waiting here.

Zhong Xinxin saw Sheng Chuncheng coming out, started the car, slid to Sheng Chuncheng's side, and called "Dad".

Sheng Chuncheng pretended to find out that Zhong Xinxin hadn't left. He asked, "Why haven't you gone back to sleep?"

Zhong Xinxin said: "I fell asleep in the car, I thought you had already left, if you don't come out after a while, I will go back."

Sheng Chuncheng got into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.

Zhong Xinxin started the car and asked while driving, "How is Guo Shuang's mother?"

Sheng Chuncheng said, "Fall asleep."

Zhong Xinxin nodded.After driving for a while, Zhong Xinxin asked worriedly: "Father, is Guo Shuang's mother alone at home? Tell me, will something happen to her?"

Sheng Chuncheng sighed, and said, "It's useless to rely on others to persuade him, and we can't persuade him. How long have we persuaded Guo Shuang, will it work in the end?"

"What should I do?"

"Let's see if she can find the way by herself, then go on." Sheng Chuncheng said.

Zhong Xinxin turned her head to look at Sheng Chuncheng, and felt that his words were a bit unfathomable and thought-provoking, but it seemed to make sense.Zhong Xinxin followed suit with a sigh.

Guo Shuang's farewell ceremony was held more than a week after her death. The reason why she had to wait for more than a week was because Sister Chen was looking for a relationship to see if Guo Shuang's father could come to the funeral home to say goodbye to Guo Shuang. The relevant units needed A meeting was held to study it, but in the end, the request was not accepted.

The memorial service was held at ten o'clock in the morning, and Zhong Xinxin drove to Duocube to pick up Sheng Chuncheng before nine o'clock.

Sheng Chuncheng lives in the east of Hangzhou City, and Longjuwu Funeral Home is in Liu Town in the west of Hangzhou City.

There was a traffic jam on the road, and they rushed to the funeral home, it was already ten o'clock.Zhong Xinxin pulled Sheng Chuncheng, ran up the high steps by the parking lot, and then ran along the corridor to Guo Shuang's farewell hall. Everyone had already entered the hall. Fortunately, the farewell ceremony had not yet start.

There were not many people who came to the farewell ceremony, and there were only a dozen or so in total. They were all Guo Shuang's family members, friends with the original, and classmates who are still in Hangzhou.Sister Chen did not notify any of the others, including colleagues in the unit.

Sheng Chuncheng and Zhong Xinxin are the only two good friends of Guo Shuang.

The few dozen or so people in the hall were divided into three distinct groups. Standing in the middle was Sister Chen in a black suit. Accompanied by her were two female classmates and best friends of Guo Shuang in high school. , one of them is very tall, about 1.7 meters.

The other two groups of people, on the left are Guo Shuang's grandparents, leading her uncle and aunt.On the right is Guo Shuang's grandparents, leading her uncle and aunt.There was a deliberate distance between the three groups of people, and there was no communication with each other.

Zhong Xinxin took Sheng Chuncheng to the door of the farewell hall. On the table at the door was a clinker basket with black gauze pinned to white paper flowers. Zhong Xinxin took one and pinned it to Sheng Chuncheng's arm. Also pinned one.

The two of them went in, and they naturally stood behind Sister Chen and the three of them.

The farewell ceremony was brief.On the big screen in front of the farewell hall, the photos of Guo Shuang before his death were constantly playing. When everyone looked at these photos, the women were already crying, and the men's eyes were red.

No one gave a speech, and the staff of the funeral home presided over the ceremony. They played mourning music, mourned in silence, bowed three times, and then bid farewell to the deceased. Guo Shuang lay behind the wall with a large screen, surrounded by flowers, she quietly Lying there, as if falling asleep, his brows were slightly frowned.

Everyone lined up in a long queue, taking turns to admire Guo Shuang's appearance.Sheng Chuncheng looked at Sister Chen through the sunglasses. He saw that Sister Chen's face was pale, and he didn't cry during the whole process.Sheng Chuncheng knew that the tears that should be shed had already been shed for countless nights in the house on the top floor.

How many times, Sheng Chuncheng thought, would she still call out in the dark: "Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang, are you back?"

Two of Guo Shuang's female classmates supported Sister Chen from left to right. Sister Chen was taken away by them in a daze. At this moment, she didn't know where she was. At that time, Sister Chen didn't cry, but just looked at her lovingly.

The incineration workshop is on the hillside at the back. The farewell ceremony is over. The staff pushed Guo Shuang's stainless steel cart out of the flowers, out the back door, and walked forward along a long silent corridor. Everyone follow behind.

The cart reached the end of the corridor, turned a corner, and was pushed along an upward corridor until it reached the door of the incineration workshop, where it stopped. The stainless steel door was opened from the inside.

A staff member looked at Guo Shuang's nameplate and said to them, "Guo Shuang, number five."

Everyone else went to the waiting hall on the side, and Sister Chen stood there, looking at Guo Shuang who was sent into the iron gate in a daze.The staff inside were about to close the iron gate, but Ms. Chen seemed to wake up suddenly. She said to the staff:

"Master, can I have one last look at my daughter?"

The staff looked at her and moved away. Two female classmates helped Sister Chen into the iron gate, and Sheng Chuncheng and Zhong Xinxin followed.

Sister Chen walked to the front of the cart, stretched out her hand to gently caress Guo Shuang's face, then leaned down, kissed Guo Shuang's cheek, straightened up, stroked Guo Shuang's slightly frowning brows, and said softly: "Shuang Cool, don't frown, it doesn't look good."

Sister Chen looked at Guo Shuang with love and pity in her eyes, and she was reluctant to leave.

The staff member said softly, "It's ok."

Sister Chen stretched out her hand for a while, then leaned down again, and said to Guo Shuang:
"Shuangshuang, bear with it, don't be afraid of the pain, okay?"

She stretched out her hand, grabbed a strand of Guo Shuang's hair, pulled it out vigorously, and pulled it in her hand, then picked up her wallet, and carefully put the hair into the inner layer of the wallet.

The two female classmates supported Sister Chen out of the iron gate, and the five of them went to the waiting hall on the side.

There are many people in the waiting hall, a long and narrow space with rows of chairs.On the wall near the incineration workshop, there is a row of ten glass windows about one meter square. The lower half of the glass window is empty, and the urns will be sent out from here later.

There is a screen on the side of the glass window, and the number is displayed on the screen. They walked to No. [-], just like the boarding gates of the airport. Around this glass window, several rows of chairs form a resting place. area.

Sheng Chuncheng saw Guo Shuang's grandparents and grandparents sitting here with their own family members. The two groups of people each occupied two corners, and they were still clearly separated from each other.

There was a row of empty chairs, two classmates supported Sister Chen to sit down, Zhong Xinxin led Sheng Chuncheng, and sat down opposite them.

In this area, apart from them, there are many unknown people who are relatives of the previous deceased.

The display screen next to the glass window shows "Xu X years, in progress", and the words below it read "Guo X, waiting."

Guo Shuang is still lying there waiting, can she turn around and walk away from there without waiting.Sheng Chun thought to himself.
