Chapter 2 Chapter two

Two pairs of mother and daughter catch each other and fight each other. Yang Shan scolded Xiao Mian angrily: "As soon as someone teases you, you just follow along, taking a car with a strange man to go so far? Are you short-hearted?" "Who is short-hearted? Am I not doing well? I haven't been trafficked." "To be honest, is there any loss?" "I didn't lose anything, free rides, free meals, I still suffer?" "How can there be such a good thing? Why does he give you a ride for free?" "With my wisdom! Mom, I look good, and there is no missing piece of meat on my body. I have said everything that needs to be said. Don't be like interrogating thieves endlessly. You still plan to fuck me for the rest of your life? "

"As long as you are a decent child, I will be happy and relieved. Look at his youthfulness..." Yang Yi stopped to take the conversation: "What are you looking at Qingchu? She didn't let me worry!" Qingchu scolded, "I contacted Fudan for you. You said that you can't be a teacher but a lawyer. There are good law firms in Shanghai, too. If you don't go back to Shanghai, you have to stay in Beijing, you deliberately oppose me, don't you?" "I didn't want to fight against you, but I have my own plan, and I don't need you to make decisions for me."

"Why don't you want to go back to Shanghai?" "I like the environment in Beijing, and I went to university and graduated in Beijing. All kinds of network resources, classmates, and friends are here. Why do I have to go back to Shanghai?" "Because your mother is in Shanghai! You have the heart to leave me there alone? I retired in a few days, and I didn't even have anyone to talk to at home. After your father passed away, our mother and son depended on each other. Don't you think for me? think?" Grandpa Yang Bingheng made his official statement for the first time: "Where Qingchu wants to be is her own business. It's true that Xiaomao wants to come to Beijing to develop. It's a good thing in the first place. Why are you making such a big fuss?"

Yang Shan: "Dad, don't protect Xiaomao, this child is too wild-minded, she is so ambitious, her eyes are high and her hands are low, so I can't let her do everything." Yang Yi: "Dad, what Qingchu and I are discussing is not only the issue of her graduation assignment, but also the issue of how our mother and son plan for the rest of our lives." The two daughters rejected the grandfather's right to speak in different ways, and Yang Bingheng abstained and went back to the house with clean ears. Yang Shan forced Xiao Dian: "Come back to Ningxia with me tomorrow!"

Yang Yi pressed Qing Chu: "I'll ask you again, will you go back to Shanghai?" This is the most severe moment in the journey of seeking independence. The wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are pressing each other harshly, and the sister and son are silently fighting against matriarchy! Lang Xinping acted out of righteousness: "Yang Shan, your mother and daughter have broken your wrists for more than ten years. The small sample has ideals and aspirations, and the family also has this convenience. Since you can't stop it, why bother to live against the child and make her suffer?"

Yang Shan: "Mom, having ideals and ambitions does not mean that she has the ability to realize her ideals and ambitions. She thinks too high, can she realize it? I know my daughter's abilities best. The competition in Ningxia is not as fierce as in Beijing. Stay at home honestly. Although ordinary, it is less difficult to obtain happiness; I am afraid that when she arrives in Beijing, she will realize that she is not good enough for water. Beijing is not a small lake, but the sea. When she realizes that she is beyond her power, it will be too late and she will not be able to return to the shore. I I don’t want her to take detours and waste her youth.”

Sample: "Mom, water skills are also learned in strong winds and waves. If you don't give me a chance to jump, how do you know if I can go into the sea?" Each has its own reasons, a battle that is uncertain. Lang Xinping: "Yang Yi, you must let Qingchu go back to Shanghai, is it for her or for yourself?" "Of course I am for her, but also for myself." "If you want to be for her, you should respect her wishes, and don't mix your selfish thoughts into it." "She can still be a lawyer when she returns to Shanghai, and she can still develop. Besides, I'm just a girl, so what's wrong with wanting her to stay by my side?"

"If you want to stay with her, you can come to Beijing, anyway, you will retire immediately." "I don't get used to Beijing anymore." "Why are you so hypocritical? You can't adapt to your own family. If you want to live so alone, you can live alone." "Mom, I know you like Qingchu, do you want to keep her by your side?" "I like Qingchu, but I also respect her. Let alone Shanghai, as long as she wants to, I will not stop her from going to Qinghai." "Now that she's staying in Beijing, of course you can speak beautifully. Anyway, standing up and talking doesn't hurt your back."

Everyone has their own interests, no one is right, and they can't be entangled for a while. Lang Xinping withdrew from the battle group and went back to the bedroom to rest.Yang Bingheng squinted on the bed, Lang Xinping nudged his wife, but there was no response.In the living room, the mother and daughter had a truce for a while, and a new round of confrontation was brewing. Suddenly, Lang Xinping called for help: "Come on, your father is sick!" At the moment of sudden illness in the middle of the night, the professional advantages of a doctor are revealed. Gao Qi, who is not in the eyes of Qing Chufa, makes a grand appearance. In front of the stage, all the female generals of the Yang family are his audience.Lang Xinping, Yang Yi, Yang Shan, and Qian Xiaomian gathered outside the emergency room and waited anxiously. Qing Chu formally introduced to everyone: "My Peking University classmate Gao Qi is a doctor here. He just said hello to the attending doctor."

Lang Xinping: "Doctor Xiao Gao, I have caused you trouble." Everyone focused on his face, and Gao Qi felt a sense of responsibility and mission. Compared with ordinary doctors, his fragile sense of responsibility often came uninvited, especially when facing the family of the girl he liked: "You are welcome, I will try my best." And for." Qingchu: "Grandpa is inside, I don't know what's going on." "I'll go in and have a look." Gao Qi walked into the emergency room and went undercover. At the critical moment, Yang Yi did not forget the eternal proposition she was concerned about: "Qingchu, how many years have you two known each other? Isn't it..."

Xiao Mian quickly reveals the secret: "I know, he is chasing Qingchu." Yang Yi: "Are you staying in Beijing because of him?" Qingchu gave her mother and Xiaoman a supercilious look: "No! Where are you welding? When are you still messing around?" There was a rush of high-heeled shoes from far to near, with wind speed, rhythm, and arrogance. Everyone knew without looking that Yang Er, the most powerful woman in the Yang family, arrived. Yang Er looked around the crowd, and asked the sisters in surprise of "why didn't you ask me for instructions and returns?" The person responsible for the accident was determined when he appeared on the stage, the accountability system was implemented, and he acted vigorously from the company to his home. Yang Er has always been so tough. Gao Qi accompanied the attending doctor, Dr. Zhang, out of the emergency room. Everyone temporarily avoided Yang Er's accountability, and turned to the doctor: "Doctor, how is my father?" Dr. Zhang: "The patient has been rescued temporarily, but he is still in a coma. The situation is not optimistic. The results of the myocardial enzyme test show that the blood vessels are very blocked and can only be operated on. However, the patient is too old and weak to bear such a Major surgery." "Then what to do?" "Currently, we can only pressurize with drugs to barely maintain the heart function, and the rest is to wait." "Waiting for what?" "Maybe we can wait for a miracle, but there is very little hope. It is recommended that your family members make various mental preparations." Everyone knows that life can be planned, but only death is unpredictable, and its whereabouts are unpredictable. When you are completely unaware of its existence, it may come suddenly.Youth meets death, it is definitely an unforgettable lesson, for Qingchu and Xiaomian, it is the same. Gao Qi is different. He faces birth, old age, sickness and death every day, and he is old-fashioned and prudent because he is used to it. You can't easily deny his old-fashioned and stable.This is when he said softly to Qingchu, "Don't think too much, looking back later, this is an inevitable process", Qingchu suddenly realized that Gao Qi has Gao Qi's preciousness. In the face of death, no matter how much you try to maintain your dignity, you will inevitably panic. This is the instinct of human nature.Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang Shan, three married and established daughters, are successful and mature, and they are all useless at the moment. It is Lang Xinping who is calm: "I heard what the doctor said. We have to make various mental preparations. Don't rush back." In Ningxia, Shanghai, Yang Yi and Yang Shan are all staying, and from now on, everyone will be on shifts and take turns watching at the hospital." Yang Er: "Mom, we are here, you go back to sleep, if you burn your body, it will kill us." Lang Xinping: "I won't be able to sleep when I go back. I don't want to be too far away from your father in this situation." Yang Er: "Then I'll open a room in the hotel opposite, you go there to rest, you can come over anytime." Lang Xinping sighed: "At this time, it is obvious that our family lacks a man. Where is Bo Huai? Why didn't you come with you?" Li Bohuai is Yang Er's husband and Li Pili's father. When he is mentioned, Yang Er is speechless. Lang Xinping felt strange: "Is he our son-in-law? I'm usually busy and don't have time to see us, but it's this time, and I don't even have a photo?" Yang Er: "I didn't call him." "Arguing again?" Yang Er and his wife disagreed, but no one was surprised, "Now is not the time to be angry, you call and ask him to come over and watch the night." Yang Er still didn't speak or move. Lang Xinping urged her: "Fight, what are you doing in a daze?" Some mysteries will be revealed sooner or later, Yang Er thought about it, and said: "Mom, don't count on him in the future." "What do you mean? What's the matter with you two?" "I ... left him." "Leaving?! When did you leave?" "It's been half a year. I'm afraid that you and Dad will get angry, so I kept it secret." "What do you want me to say? The children are so old, why do they have to leave?" "It's not like you don't know how I've lived in the past twenty years. I have a personality disagreement with him. It was a mistake for you and dad to match us up. With a man who has no ambitions and a wimp, my quality of life It’s so bad, it’s better to be alone! I used to care about Pili, but now that the child is grown up and has gone abroad, I don’t want to live and suffer, and neither does he. "Are you still leaving, and don't live together anymore?" "Still living together after leaving? He moved out a few months ago and lives in the unit's dormitory." "I said, I see you twice in half a year, and it's still polite." Once the burden was put down, Yang Er felt relieved: "It's really uncomfortable to always act in front of you, but it's much easier to say it." "You're relieved, what about Thunderbolt? Does she know?" "I didn't tell her, because I was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it." "You two are still sensible." "Anyway, she's in England, and the emperor is far away, so let's delay." "Pili Xia is taking the A-level exam, so we must not influence her at this juncture." "That's for sure. No matter what, wait for her to go to college, and then slowly infiltrate her." "We'll talk about this later, you should call Li Bohuai here, not son-in-law, but still your father's student?" "Then I'll say you sent him." Li Bohuai, who had become an ex-husband and ex-son-in-law, came when he was called. Yang Er was waiting at the entrance of the hospital.Their marriage was like a distance of ten meters from the beginning to the end. Li Bohuai clumsily chased Yang Er, and could never step on her point. Li Bohuai complained about his ex-wife: "Dad had an accident, why didn't you tell me earlier?" "I didn't intend to tell you at all. It was my mother who insisted on calling you. Let me tell you, she already knows about the divorce. If the old lady wants to say something ugly, just listen to it and finish it. Don't make a sound. " "Ah? Why did you single out and tell her at this time, isn't it just adding to the chaos?" "If you don't tell her, the two of us will have to act in a big show these days. I have nothing to do with you. I don't want to trouble you all the time." "What do you mean? I've been called Dad for twenty years anyway, so it's my duty to come here." "If you're divorced, make it clear. I don't want to owe you." "Can you distinguish that clearly?" "Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether you come or not." When he came outside the ward, Li Bohuai considered whether to call him "Mom", Lang Xinping said, "I won't see you for a while, and he's not my son-in-law anymore. It's hard for you to call me Mom for half a year, and I'll call you Shimu again later." "Anyway, I'm still a family member." "The family is full of women, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for help from time to time." "It should be, don't worry, as long as there is nothing important in the office, I will watch here and be there on call." In front of the two generations of women in the Yang family, Li Bohuai had no arrogance. During his twenty years of marriage, he had lost himself. Divorce was a relief for Yang Er, and it was also for him. A group of female generals of the Yang family and the only male Li Bohuai who was expelled from the family took turns waiting day and night for Yang Bingheng to wake up.When it was Qingchu's and Xiaoyang's turn to be on duty at night, the two sisters stood outside the ward, looking at their grandfather through the glass door, and death was suddenly close at hand. Xiao Mian asked: "Do you think grandpa will die?" Qing Chu replied: "I'm afraid it will. Gao Qi said that there is basically no hope." "Then if grandpa dies, are we responsible?" "Should have. Grandpa fell ill because of anxiety, and we committed the crime indirectly." "I think the two of us are at most accomplices, our mother is the main offender, and grandpa is mainly angry with them." "I've been in a trance for the past two days, as if I could smell death." "What's the smell? It's creepy." "I can't tell, but it feels weird anyway. Are you afraid of death?" "I never thought about it, this question is too far away." "I've heard a saying that 'death is another stage of life', as if you walk out of one door and enter another, and there's nothing to be afraid of." "Just tell me what to do in this house and go to that house." Xiao Mian let his imagination run wild, "Maybe there's what you want in that house, it's more fun than here." "Who knows? Anyway, no one who entered the house has ever returned." "That's right, it's scary to walk around casually." A hand was stretched out from behind, patted Qingchu, and then patted the sample. The two sisters looked back as if they had been struck by lightning: "Oh my god!" Their abnormal reactions made the normal Gao Qi behind him puzzled. Qing Chu: "When did you come here? Not even the sound of footsteps." Gao Qi: "I have a voice, you two are too involved in the chat, I didn't hear it." Xiao Mian: "We were talking about that house when you appeared like a ghost." Gao Qi: "Which house is it?" Qing Chu: "We are discussing whether death is another stage of life, like entering another room." Gao Qi: "There is no other room. From the perspective of rigorous natural science and materialism, death is the demise of matter and a dead end." Sample: "Too unimaginative!" The truth is often like this, correct, but boring, like a bottomless abyss, throwing feelings into it, you can't even hear a sound.Xiao Mian suddenly understood Qing Chu, Gao Qi was like a chicken rib, it looked good, but it was tasteless to the touch. Perhaps it was the effect of Qingchu and Xiaoyang's joint screams that Yang Bingheng suddenly woke up. Fearing that he would miss him, the Yang family rushed here and were allowed to enter the ward to communicate. Lang Xinping was the first to come to the bedside. The two old men looked at each other, reached out and grabbed each other, holding each other. "You are awake." "Scared you, I made it again and again, this time I can't get over it, I know it myself. Fortunately, the children are here, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them again, so I will explain a few words while I am awake." "Speak slowly, I'm listening." "Yang Yifei asked Qingchu to return to Shanghai. I also think she is selfish, but it is not easy to think about it. Zhao Zhihua left early, so she will inevitably think about herself. Please be more considerate of her. Once Qingchu stays, Yang Yi will sooner or later Come here, you two don't get worse and worse; and Yang Er, her temper is the most like yours, she is competitive, unreasonable, and keeps this girl by her side. In the future, try not to get angry with her as much as possible, and no one will persuade you to fight when I am not around." There are always some words in life, tears in your eyes, but you have to listen to them with a smile; there are always some moments in life, heartbroken, but you have to endure it. "Also, tell Yang Er not to be so incapable of Bo Huai. If you say that a man can do anything, don't say he is incompetent. Bo Huai's character is aloof from the world, and he has always tolerated Yang Er. It's not easy for him. Three Daughter, I am most worried about Yang Shan, she has a stubborn temper and doesn't say anything, but she has been having knots in her heart for so many years, complaining that we broke up her and came in with money, swapped her with Yang Er, and got it so remote in Ningxia That’s why I don’t want to let Xiao Yang come back. Forget about the past mistakes, and make up for Xiao Yang in the future.” Lang Xinping knew that this was his wife's last entrustment. Yang Shan then came to his father's bed. Yang Bingheng: "I haven't seen you for more than two years. If it wasn't for the demo, you wouldn't have come this time." Yang Shan: "I planned to come back this Spring Festival." "Aren't you going to come back after the Chinese New Year? It is said that a married girl is closer to her mother's family, but you are becoming more and more heretic." "I don't……" "We blamed us for the previous incident, but if you want to stop the child from coming to Beijing because of this, you are wrong. The little sample is clever, and it will shine bright if you give it some sunshine. Don't delay her." "This child is wild and restless. I was worried, and I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I tied her by my side to watch." "A child is not a pet, and you can't bear to watch it. You have to guide her. She is in Beijing, and your mother will help you keep an eye on her. Don't you feel relieved?" How could Yang Shan have the heart to refute his father at this moment?Not long after saying these words, Yang Bingheng fell into a coma again. Dr. Zhang gave the Yang family a multiple-choice question: "The patient's condition has deteriorated, and now he is completely dependent on booster injections to support his life. Do you want to continue the booster injections? We need to ask your family members for opinions." Yang Er: "Of course, continue to fight until it is good. Is there any need to ask?" Gao Qi further explained: "The pressurized injection has no therapeutic effect, it just forcibly raises the blood pressure to maintain life. As long as the blood pressure drops, the injection must be continued. Once the injection is stopped, it means giving up life." Yang Shan: "There is no cure? There is no hope at all?" There was no answer, a long silence, and the Yang family got the answer. When the death of a loved one is inevitably in front of us, anyone will involuntarily linger, even though they know it is futile, the dependence on feelings makes us so, so reluctant to let go, and everyone is at a loss as to what to do.Even Yang Er, who has always been tough, was at a loss for this multiple-choice question: "Mom, fight? Or not?" Lang Xinping's composure was extraordinary, and his answer was unexpected: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. No one can stop your father from going this far. Just let nature take its course. Doctor, stop the injection. Let's go in and say goodbye to him together. No one should cry, let him go away in a dignified and peaceful way." The curtain call of life requires a ceremony, and the dying requires dignity. Under the leadership of Lang Xinping, the whole family quietly put on the disinfectant clothes, and everyone was enveloped and set off solemnly. This is the best farewell ceremony that the living can bestow on the dead. Looking at them, Gao Qi was moved and couldn't help himself. He followed the Yang family into the ward and regarded himself as one of them.The whole family surrounded Yang Bingheng on both sides of the hospital bed. Lang Xinping, Yang Yi, and Yang Er held one of his hands, and Yang Shan, Qing Chu, and Xiao Mian held the other. Lang Xinping said goodbye softly in Yang Bingheng's ear: "We are all here, you can go steadily." As if hearing this sentence, everyone felt Yang Bingheng's last grip, and then let go. At this second, Qingchu and Xiaomao clearly and unmistakably touched the departure of life and at the same time touched dignity.They remembered this scene together: before the nurses pushed grandpa into the mortuary, grandma stepped forward and carefully smoothed the quilt covering his body without leaving any wrinkles.Lang Xinping demonstrated an attitude to the younger generations: death is inevitable, and it is better to bid farewell solemnly than to be embarrassed. That night, the three daughters kept vigil for their father. They sat around the dining table, recalling all the past, and then got off topic while talking, talking about Gao Qi who spent several days together in the hospital day and night.The three mothers unanimously praised Gao Qi, and Gao Qi got the unanimous consent of the middle-aged women in the Yang family in an instant. If the three daughters did not object, the three mothers would have the potential to carve up Gao Qi and designate a son-in-law that night.That's how life is, whether you're sad or parting, everything will go on after that. Qingchu stood on the balcony, and Xiaoman quietly came to her side: "What are you thinking about?" Qing Chu: "When grandma decided to stop the injection for grandpa today, I thought she was very cool." "I think so too. Grandma must believe that grandpa went through that door and went to that house." The two sisters looked at each other and smiled. They would rather choose to be idealists, and believe that grandpa would accept the ceremony they held for him. "There's a bad situation." Xiao Mian pouted at the living room, "Those three mothers have taken a fancy to Gao Qi, and they're praising him." "Like it if you like it, what's the use of them?" "I'm afraid you will be under a lot of pressure, or just follow through." "Since they are all interested, if I don't follow you, then you will follow." "Let me think about it." The funeral was carried out step by step. Lang Xinping ordered Yang Er to recall his daughter from England and meet her grandfather for the last time. Li Pili flew back to China immediately.A few hours before she landed, Lang Xinping shook Yang Er awake and asked, "When will the thunderbolt arrive?" "noon." "When she comes back, what are you and Li Bohuai planning to do?" Yang Er was enlightened, and jumped up: "I have to go home and arrange the decoration!" Yang Er and Li Bohuai divorced under the premise of blocking the news from the outside world. The blocking is not mainly aimed at the family, but the daughter.It is foreseeable that Perak will reject the divorce. In order to minimize the resistance, the former couple deprived their daughter of the right to speak. In her absence, they split the family that should have been decided by the three into two.Marriage is divorce, but letting Pili know and even accept it becomes more and more impossible to accomplish. What's more, it has entered the countdown to sprint to Cambridge. Cambridge is not a daughter's ideal, but a mother's dream.Three years ago, 16-year-old Li Pili carried Yang Er's unfulfilled dream and was sent to England by her mother to become a primary school student.Like all children in China, she can't get rid of the fateful path planned by her elders. She studies hard for her parents' ideals and rushes for worldly success. A family breakup is undoubtedly a blow to the daughter and a fire in the backyard. The ex-husband and wife knew they were wrong and decided to cheat.Acting is the only choice, Yang Er hurriedly called Li Bohuai home, and ordered her ex-husband to stay at home during the funeral in Perak, pretending to be indifferent. The closet is half emptied, and men's clothes are back in the house; the men's slippers that have been shelved in the shelf are rediscovered; the thick towels return to the towel rack, and they dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the flowery towels.Everything was set up, and the ex-husband and wife took the stage to welcome their daughter. Yang Er did not forget the last reminder: "I suddenly remembered, you live here, your good friend..." Li Bohuai: "Can I call her Xiao Chen, or by her name." "I can't remember such a mediocre name. She won't ask you for this or that all day long, will she always call you?" "No, I told her that I will send a text message if I have something to do." "Anyway, let me remind you, don't let Pili see you sneaking around, and show off again." "Won't." "Perak is going to take the A-level exam in two months. Now her emotional stability is more important than anything else. This time she will stay for three to five days when she comes back. We have to perform the trick well no matter what, and we can't make her feel that something is wrong." "Know." "Don't think I'm begging you, Pili kisses you more than me, I'm an evil mother, you are a good father, she needs to know that you have another new love so soon..." He gloated, "I see how you explain to her ?” "I'm still her father when I start a new family, and we didn't get divorced because of that." "I don't care, who do you like to team up with, but can my daughter not care?" "Let's not hide this time, it will still be a big problem in the future. She is actually quite fragile psychologically." "Don't think so far, let's deal with these few days." Even if his parents are not good at acting, the 19-year-old Pili cannot recognize him.Life is full of lies, there are malicious and good intentions, some for harm and some for protection, one-way and two-way.At this moment, who knows that Pili is also playing with the show?Who knows the truth behind her life of studying abroad with excellent character and learning?Since lies are a necessity of life, they are not necessarily bad in nature. The parents divorced and the daughter was absent, but the grandfather's funeral required all participation.On the day of choosing a cemetery, the female generals of the Yang family went out together to inspect the urns of various materials with prices ranging from a thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands, and looked at them one by one. The three cousins ​​were dazzled by the boxes, and Xiao Mian asked: "Is the sapphire on the box real?" Qing Chu replied: "It's so expensive, it should be." Pili questioned: "Where is the urn? It's a jewelry box." Finally, the demo summed up the market research results: "It's extravagant!" Then, under the leadership of the cemetery manager, we inspected and selected the cemetery. The manager introduced: "This area is an ordinary cemetery. There are single tombs and joint tombs. The cost of buying land and engraving monuments ranges from a few thousand to 10,000, and generally does not exceed 10,000." Yang Er, who has strong financial resources, didn't like it: "Too small, not grand enough." The manager acted accordingly: "If you want to show the filial piety of your children, there are bigger and more noble choices." He was more enthusiastic and led a group of women into the independent cemetery. , the environment is more secluded and peaceful, and the design is more elegant and magnificent. Regardless of the shape, size or material of the tombstone, it can better meet the customer's demand for high quality. This is a luxurious double-cavity special-shaped tomb, and the first-class marble stele pavilion, all fees All counted, two hundred thousand." Qian Xiaomian, who had the least right to speak, exclaimed: "It's so expensive? Why don't you just put a box in it?" Yang Shan scolded: "Shut up! You're the only one talking nonsense." Yang Er wasn't intimidated by the high price, she just came here to be different, she saw a co-burial alien tomb, and asked the price.The manager said what he likes: "The vision is so accurate! I personally think that the one you are looking for is the most cost-effective. Its base is two meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and the monument is 1.8 meters high. Text can be engraved on the front and back, and its size is more than 200,000 yuan. It’s not much smaller, but the price is only half, the only difference is the location, if you decide to want it, you can engrave it immediately.” Yang Er nodded in approval, and turned around—the family stood far behind, clearly drawing a clear line from her: "Why are you standing so far away? What do you think?" Yang Yi and Yang Shan, who should express their opinions, did not express their opinions and looked at the old lady. Yang Er understood: "Sister, San'er, don't you think it's too expensive? In this way, the three of us will share it, and each of us can't pay much. Besides, there is still our mother's share in it." Yang Yi and Yang Shan are still silent. All families have a similar situation. Each person has a different idea. The five fingers are not the same length. Reunification is extremely difficult. Lang Xinping said: "You don't need such an expensive tomb, just have a bigger hole, it's fine if you can fit me and your dad." "Mom, let's spend money for Dad for the last time. If it's more expensive, let it be more expensive." Yang Er said what he said, condemning the sisters for being ungenerous. "It's better to be more filial when you're alive, and it's the same to be buried in a jade dress when you're dead. I think the 10,000 ones outside are pretty good." "Isn't that too shabby? It's equivalent to affordable housing here," Yang Er asked the two sisters, "How about I pay a lot and you two pay less?" Still rejected by Lang Xinping: "Your money is blown by the wind? Your father doesn't like to waste all his life. If you let him lie in the villa, he can't sleep well. Affordable housing is fine." "The old lady's words are really choking, don't I just want to make the old man look good?" Qingchu persuaded: "Second aunt, calculated by the square meter, this tomb is more expensive than a living villa. No wonder grandma can't accept it." Yang Shan also persuaded: "Everyone understands your intentions, but this matter, let's listen to my mother." "But I still feel that 10,000 is too aggrieved." It was his daughter's turn to press against her: "You must feel embarrassed if you want to live, grandpa won't." In this serious situation and serious occasion, everyone wanted to laugh, but they held back anyway, only Qian Xiaoyang, who was not successful enough, had poor concentration, and a "puchi" burst out, which made Yang Er angry from embarrassment.In the end, the cemetery was sold for 10,000 yuan and the urn was sold for 5,000 yuan. Yang Er's filial piety was flatly rejected by Lang Xinping. Then comes the funeral, life condensed into a bowl of ashes, the dust settles. The whole family burned paper money to Yang Bingheng, and Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang Shan were all chanting words as the last gift. Yang Er: "Dad, don't worry, we have brought you enough money." Yang Shan: "Don't be reluctant to spend over there, buy whatever you want." Yang Yi: "Qingchu's father left early, let him honor you for us first." Qingchu, Xiaomian, and Pili squeezed in the back row, throwing money and saying nothing. Yang Er urged the younger generation: "You three, keep quiet and tell grandpa." Qingchu took the lead: "Grandpa, we gave you money, 100 million, 200 million." It was just as good as before, but as soon as the demo came, he said: "It's so enjoyable, how do you exchange Ming coins with RMB?" Thunderbolt went downstream: "Several banks, general purpose." Sample: "It would be nice if someone would support me to spend the money like this." Yang Shan was crying well, but now she couldn't take it anymore, she turned around and slapped her daughter on the head! Sending off their father and carrying Lang Xinping behind their backs, Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang Shan declined the audience and gathered in the living room for a family meeting. The topic revolved around: who will stay with her mother and accompany her for the rest of her life? Yang Er: "While mom is resting, let's discuss what will happen to mom after dad is gone? None of us can rest assured that mom is left alone in such a big house. Although the old lady is in good health and doesn't need to be attended to, after all She is over seventy years old, no matter what, there must be someone to take care of her, so let's discuss, who can come back and live with her?" Yang Yi: "It's still up for discussion? You're in Beijing, so of course it's most convenient for you to move back to live with your mother, anyway, you're leaving..." Before he could say anything, Yang Er urgently stopped "shh", and hurriedly put the word "marriage" Swallow it back. Yang Shan: "Yes, Second Sister, Perak is going to England anyway, so you can move here to stay with Mom." Yang Er: "I can't do it. There are too many things in the company, and I don't know when I'm busy. My mother is used to her routine, so I'm afraid of disturbing her. Besides, my mother and I have conflicting tempers. We usually see each other twice a week. Well, living together is not good for the health of both parties.” Yang Shan: "Lao Qian and I are still at work, so we will definitely not be able to come back. Eldest sister, you will retire as soon as you speak, Qing Chu will stay in Beijing, and you will be alone in Shanghai, so why don't you go back to Beijing and join your mother." Yang Er: "I think it's okay. While the real estate market is hot now, sell the house in Shanghai. After Qingchu settles down, buy a house in Beijing." Yang Yi was reluctant: "I haven't agreed to Qingchu staying in Beijing yet." Yang Shan: "I think she's so determined, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold her back. Besides, it's good that she can stay in Beijing as a lawyer." Yang Er: "By the way, there is also Gao Qi, don't you think it's good, as long as Qingchu stays here, they will be a couple sooner or later." Doesn't that mean that she has been completely defeated on the issue of her daughter? Yang Yi did not let go: "I have been in Shanghai for so many years, and I am not used to Beijing." Yang Er: "Eldest sister, don't blame mom for saying that you are getting more and more hypocritical. If you don't come back to fight, you will really become a Shanghainese." Yang Yi: "What's wrong with the people of Shanghai? I think the people of Shanghai are very nice, and the overall quality of the citizens is high." Yang Er: "You really think that other places are your hometown. Shanghai people think that Shanghai is the best in the world, and other places are all countryside." As soon as the woman spoke, she kept digressing. The wall has ears, because it is related to the important issue of "where will I live in the future", Qingchu, Xiaomian and Pili, lying behind the door to eavesdrop on the adults' conversation, and entering the digressive part of the "Beijing-Shanghai War", the three sisters know that it will be a while Unable to return to the theme, the son climbed into bed to discuss countermeasures. Qing Chu: "If you want me to say that they don't need to discuss, it's enough for the two of us to stay here with grandma." Sample: "Yes, I support it!" Pili was worried that he would not get involved: "What about me? I also want to stay with you." Qing Chu: "Don't you still want to go back to England to study at Cambridge, and join us when you return from your studies." Pili uttered his suppressed voice for a long time: "I haven't taken the exam yet, can I not pass it?" It was unanimously rejected by Qingchu and Xiaomi: "I'm afraid not!" Sample: "Your mother will go crazy." Qing Chu: "If she is crazy, she will drive everyone crazy, and no one will be left behind." Pili: "My fate is at her mercy. If she is not crazy, I will be crazy sooner or later." Qingchu made a decision: "We must strive for autonomy and resolutely defend the freedom to stay in Beijing. That's it, negotiate." Respond to both calls! Yang Er reined in the precipice and brought the topic back on track: "Sister, give me a quick word, can you come over?" Yang Yi: "At least not now." Yang Er: "The discussion for a long time is equivalent to nothing, and nothing was said." Yang Shan: "Then who will stay with Mom?" They answered loudly and in unison: "We!" The three mothers turned their heads together, and Qingchu, Xiaomian, and Pili came out holding hands. Demo opening line: "Moms, we've got a decision to make." Qing Chu: "Based on the fact that grandpa passed away, we bear certain responsibilities, so we have to take practical actions to make up for the mistakes. None of you need to stay, and Xiaomian and I share the glorious mission of taking care of grandma." Sample: "I'll be a family doctor for grandma, let's see what Qingchu and I will do in the future!" Perak added: "If I don't get into Cambridge, I will come back and live with my grandma." Yang Er rose up first to suppress Pili: "It's nothing to do with you! Your task is to take the exam for Cambridge, and you must pass it for me. Nothing happens!" Pili: "Listen, I passed the exam for you, why don't you take the exam yourself?" Yang Shan took over the suppression: "Qian Xiaomian, don't try to keep it, just go back to Yinchuan with me honestly! I took leave from the hospital for you, and you can go back to work." Sample: "If I don't go back, I will find a job in Beijing!" Yang Shan: "What you say doesn't count!" Sample: "Why? After you are your own master, you still want to be my master. Who will be responsible for my poor life?" Yang Yi finally suppressed: "Qingchu, are you determined to oppose me?" Qing Chu: "Mom, the law firm has hired me, and asked me to go to work after finishing my grandfather's funeral. This matter is a certainty, and there is no way to change it." Yang Yi: "I raised you so much, who raised you?" Qing Chu: "Look at what you said, it seems that I have abandoned you." Yang Yi: "At least it's partially abandoned, don't you just want to stay away from me so that I won't nag you?" 姥爷离世像是横生的枝节，生活又回到原来轨迹，母女大战重燃战火，炮火继续纷飞。 需要有人一锤定音，郎心平从卧室走出来：“戗戗什么？我都听见了，我的问题你们不用商量，各过各的，谁都甭来，我有胳膊有腿，不要人照顾。青楚的问题，由她自己决定是否留下，杨怡等你退休，愿来就来，不愿来拉倒；小样的问题，杨杉再衡量衡量，建议你给孩子一个机会证明她自己。” 争取自主的博弈中，郎心平为青春这方增加了最重的砝码，表姐妹欢呼胜利，自己妈被她们的妈镇压了！ 明斗结束，不意味暗战亦休，妈妈们不犯上，不等于放弃压下，青楚、小样分头巩固战果，收获天壤之别。 小样：“大姨不说话，等于默许青楚留下了，妈你赶紧跟她看齐吧。” 杨杉就一句话等着她：“你要能跟青楚看齐，我就跟你大姨看齐，青楚留京有正经工作，你有什么？明天我就买票带你走！” 一切回到原点，小样所有努力付诸东流，郎心平声援不产生效力，就像二十年前阻挠杨杉早恋一样徒劳。青楚处境比小样好，杨怡有所松动，原因不是因为郎心平表态，她另有所图，对女儿，掺和不成一件，就掺和另一件。 杨怡：“我算看明白了，老太太摆明要跟我抢你，我吃二十年辛苦，到头来好处都让她落了，真是前人栽树，后人乘凉。” 青楚：“你这比喻严重不恰当，你是前人，姥姥是后人？” “反正我的胜利果实被她抢夺了。” “你当年还不是一早就离开家了？现在就当我替你孝敬姥姥了，将来再孝敬你，两不耽误。” “你就是长了张好嘴。” “要不能当律师吗？还得说咱家遗传基因好。” “跟你说实话，我松口让你留下，有个重要原因。” "what?" “高齐。” 青楚仰天长啸：“天哪！” “说正经的，高齐真不错，要人品有人品，要模样有模样。你妈活了几十岁，看人绝对不走眼，我觉得你俩各方面都挺般配，你不小了，该考虑这事了，眼再高也得……” 青楚啼笑皆非，降临到头上的自由居然拜高齐所赐，刚获得局部的就业自主，更大面积的恋爱自由又被侵犯。 小样灰头土脸走进这屋：“大姨，跟你商量个事，今晚你去那屋跟我妈睡吧，让我跟青楚住。” “还和你妈制气呢，我跟青楚都和好了。” “你比我妈开明，要不你再帮我劝劝她，让我留下。” “你妈脾气最拧了，我可劝不了她，我只能劝你。” “那就免了，我脾气也拧，你省点唾沫吧。” 杨怡一离开，小样就一头栽倒在床上，振臂呼喊：“打倒杨杉！” 青楚考验她：“绝望了？认输了？放弃了？” 小样眼珠一通乱转：“不，我要抗争到底，绝不半途而废！” 以姐儿俩长期狼狈为奸的历史，青楚立刻知道小样要干什么，反抗很单调，可也奏效：“顶你！”姐儿俩击掌为盟。 第二天，杨杉按照自己节奏买好火车票，回家发现小样不见了。杨杉也能立刻确定发生了什么，青楚表情无辜，杨杉哑巴吃黄连，只恨自己不能一分为二，早早限制闺女自由。 果不其然，小样打来电话：“妈，你买好票了？那明天一个人走吧，我现在正式通知你，我又离家出走了！” “别胡闹！” “我没胡闹，这次行动我是经过深思熟虑的，你要开骂，我立刻挂电话。” “我不骂，告诉我你在哪儿？” “你以为我傻呀，告诉你我在哪儿，等你来抓我？我是不会上当的！不过放心，我有地方住，也很安全，噢，对了，我还从你包里拿了500块钱，以后还。” “你先回来，有什么话咱们好好说……” “不可能！咱俩之间已经失去了和平谈判的气氛，你别想把我骗回去，也别惦记报警，我每隔48小时打电话报平安，让你麻烦不着警察叔叔，就这样。” 杨杉知道女儿是一滴水，一旦汇入北京的汪洋大海，她一点辙都没有。 小样站在北京的过街天桥上，收获自由后的问题是何去何从？天桥上有几个和她一样茫然表情的民工，她和他们的共同特征是：今天带一把力气来到这里，明天不知道这把力气冲哪使？会给自己换来什么？
