Chapter 98 Sorrow
Zhou Shangshang's feelings for Jiang Ailing have been complicated since childhood. Because of Jiang Ailing's indifferent attitude towards her, she has not been intimate with Jiang Ailing since she was a child. Every time Zhou Changan took her back to the old Zhou's house for dinner, she would sit like a needle Felt, pretending to be sensible and obedient, never wasting a rice in front of Jiang Ailing at the dinner table, sitting, holding chopsticks, and serving vegetables are all well-behaved and can't find any faults.

This pair of watercolors was given to Jiang Ailing by her as a birthday present for Jiang Ailing's 60th birthday. The childish brush outlines the face of a serious old lady, sitting on a square chair. The [-]-year-old Jiang Ailing has no gray hair, so Jiang Ailing in the watercolor painting Her jet-black hair was tied into a hairpin, looking stern and rigid.

Zhou Shangshang never imagined that Jiang Ailing would keep this painting for so many years, and put it under the pillow of her hospital bed when she was sick.

She remembered that when she gave the painting to Jiang Ailing, Jiang Ailing's expression was not good. She smiled and hid behind Zhou Changan, and then heard Comrade Changan say to Jiang Ailing: "Mom, Shangshang has been painting for two days."

Thinking of some things again, Zhou Shangshang realized how difficult it was for Zhou Chang'an, and how difficult it was for Jiang Ailing. All along, she was the one who was ashamed of the Zhou family.

Suddenly there was an extra hand on the shoulder, Zhou Shangshang raised his head, Su Yin looked at her solemnly, and then said, "Shangshang, don't be too sad."

Zhou Shangshang folded the painting and put it away, wiped away his tears, and stood up.

Su Yin opened his hands, wanting to embrace her, Zhou Shangshang looked up at Su Yinzheng, and passed him.

Su Yinzheng stood in the ward in a daze, remembering that Jiang Ailing held his hand before she died, she begged him to take good care of Shangshang, she said that Shangshang had no relatives and her husband was her only reliance.

In the past few days, Jiang Ailing is very satisfied with him. Taking advantage of Zhou Shangshang's absence, she often tells him about Shangshang. He sits and listens quietly. When he hears some old interesting things, he will think about it What Zhou Shangshang looked like when he was a child.

Jiang Ailing took his hand and kept sighing. She said that a girl without a parental family was easily wronged and asked him to take more care of her.

She was begging him to treat Zhou Shangshang well.

Su Yin was smoking on the terrace outside, lit a Yellow Crane Tower, and took a deep breath.

Over the years, he has smoked Panda, Suyan, King Furong... tens of thousands of cigarettes, but the taste is not as good as the three yuan a pack he smoked in BJ.

In fact, he didn't smoke often at that time. Occasionally, when he was stressed, he got up on the bed and smoked outside. When he came back and looked at Zhou Shangshang who was sleeping soundly, his heart was more sweet.

Jiang Ailing is an old revolutionary, but she explained early that her funeral must not be extravagant and wasteful, and everything should be kept simple.However, the city government of B still held a mourning meeting for her.

At the solemn and solemn mourning meeting, although Zhou Shangshang was no longer surnamed Zhou, he still received guests from City B as his granddaughter. Su Yinzheng stood beside her in a black suit, and the first two wreaths were placed on both sides of Jiang Ailing's body. One is hers and the other is Su Yinzheng's.

Zhou Shangshang's mind has been quite confused these days. She is no longer a 15-year-old girl. She has unresolved grief over the death of her relatives. As she gets older, she can treat life and death rationally and understand that the dead are gone. , but she is really a little hard to accept.

For a long time, she lived confidently in resentment towards Jiang Ailing, so when the facts were revealed to her again after Jiang Ailing's death, she couldn't accept it, and she couldn't accept her attitude towards Jiang Ailing.

Aunt He told her: "Shangshang, in fact, grandma has you as a granddaughter in her heart. When your parents were still there, she often told me how good you are, but she just didn't face you; later you went to S City, she often talks about you, worrying that you will be wronged in that house..."

"Shangshang, really don't blame your grandma, the more she regrets that you are not her granddaughter, some things can't get past her, as for sending you away..." When Aunt He said this, she touched her tears , "I think she doesn't want to drag you down."

"Your grandma had diabetes before she sent you away. She told me once that it would be better for you to go back to your biological father than to let you follow her, a fierce and sick old lady..."

"..."

Someone began to recite the mourning words, and each word fell into Zhou Shangshang's heart. The mourning words recalled Jiang Ailing's life and praised her character. Many people at the scene cried. Zhou Shangshang lowered his head and handed a handkerchief to In front of her, Su Yinzheng's slightly heavy voice sounded above her head: "Shangshang, don't be too sad, your grandma doesn't want to see you like this."

Zhou Shangshang turned a blind eye to Su Yinzheng's handkerchief. At this moment, the staff led a person in. Zhou Shangshang lowered his head, only seeing the person's dark leather shoes.

"Shangshang, my condolences." A familiar voice wafted into her ears, Zhou Shangshang raised his head, it was Han Zheng.

Black trousers, a black suit, hair cut very short, serious face, deep eyes, wide and deep double eyelids turned into three folds today.

Han Zheng shook hands with Su Yinzheng first, then stepped forward and gave her a hug.

With a hug in less than ten seconds, Zhou Shangshang's face was pressed against Han Zheng's chest, and a few tears fell.

Han Zheng let go of his hand, looked at Su Yinzheng, turned his head and looked at the first wreath on the right, on the left side of the elegiac couplet was written "Grandson-in-law Su Yinzheng respectfully."

Han Zheng closed his eyes, bowed three times to Jiang Ailing, before leaving, he patted Su Yinzheng on the shoulder hard, and left.
