Chapter 8
There was no one in the huge living room, and the silence was so unnerving.Gu Shi'an went out, sat down on the steps outside, stared at the flowers under the verandah in a daze.

Gu Shian stayed in the Gu family's old house until the afternoon.Leaving the Gu family's old house, she went to the cemetery, and it was almost dark when she stayed.

When going down the mountain, she hesitated for a moment, took out her mobile phone and called Chen Xiao.Originally, he planned to ask him if he would go back to eat, so that she could buy vegetables and make soup.But he didn't answer.

Gu Shian didn't call a second time, he paused, bought something and went to Chang'an's side.

Chang Li lived in South Street, and Gu Shian waited for a while on the side of the road before he got a bus.

When she passed by, Chang was skillfully doing handwork behind the counter. Seeing her, he put down what he was doing, stood up, and said, "Why don't you call ahead when you come here?"

Gu Shi'an put the purchased things aside and said, "Why are you calling when you're here?" She looked around and asked, "Have you had any business recently?"

He often guards an antique shop, which is said to have been handed down from his ancestors.It's just that when it's passed down, it's already beyond our means.The rent has been soaring these years, and in order to maintain this place, I often live extremely hard.They are often looking for work outside.

"No." Chang said and was about to leave the counter.

Gu Shi'an quickly stopped her and said, "You are busy with your work, I will cook. Hurry up and eat after a while."

She said without waiting for Chang'an to answer, she twisted things and went to the backyard.

After all, Chang Yu didn't continue to work. After finishing the work in hand, he closed the door and went back to the backyard. The two of them picked and washed vegetables together in the open-air yard behind.

The two of them never talked much together, and they often went out to buy beer and paper money during meals.When it was time for dinner, she said in a low voice, "Today is my aunt's death day, so burn some paper money."

Gu Shi'an never expected that she would remember this, so he was slightly taken aback.Immediately, he took the paper money that Chang Yan handed over, tore it open one by one, took the lighter and lit it, and it started to burn slowly.

After the paper money was burned, the two began to eat.

Gu Shi'an got drunk that night.

When Chang was cleaning up the dishes, she fell onto the stone steps on her own, leaning her back on the faded vermilion pillar, looking at the dark night sky.

As she sat, she suddenly remembered the year when her mother died.

She closed her eyes, and infinite sadness and despair suddenly emerged in her heart.

Obviously so many years have passed, and now, she can still remember every bit of that time.

Mother was sick and she was the last to know.Together with her parents, she has been hiding it from her for several years.

She didn't even get to see her mother for the last time.

It was at her mother's funeral that she found out she was seriously ill.

When she was most seriously ill, in order to hide it from her, she and her father tricked her into going to the summer camp.

When she came back, it was her funeral.

When Mingming left, she still smiled at her gently.She couldn't accept the fact that her mother was no longer there.

Dad was in grief, the funeral was chaotic, and no one even cared about her.

At that time, it was Chen Xiao who handed her a stick of incense.Citing the fact that she was still in chaos and could not accept the fact that her mother died, she went through the process of the funeral.
