The last goodbye

Last night, when my father came home, he told me that your uncle might be dying and had got out of bed.

In our rural hometown, the dying can't stay in bed, so they can only move to a simple bed built on the ground. I don't know why.

My dad said that your uncle just went to work, and he may not be able to catch up when he comes back by train. I didn't ask him to come back, so I will send money for him.

I said yes, what about us?

Dad said, do whatever you want and go when you have time. If you can't move the time, forget it. Your cousins are all back and standing in front of you.

I said, let's go and have a look tomorrow.

At 5: 40 this morning, my father called me and told me that my uncle had left and that he would go there immediately.

I said, you go first, and call your sister after you send the children away.

After everything was finished, my sister drove over to help me, and we bought some paper money on the way.

When I went, the yard was crowded with people, including family members who helped me and guests who came to offer their condolences.

My brother is here, too. He and his aunt work far away. My uncle specially asked him to come back so that it would be more convenient for him to drive back by himself.

My uncle is lying in the room, and my cousin is kneeling there crying. My cousin is covered in mud. She must have cried several times. Her eyes are red and swollen. Seeing me leave, she greeted me in a hoarse voice.

After kowtowing, I sat next to my cousin, who told me about my uncle's departure.

Seeing my uncle lying there, I couldn't help crying. Although we don't have much contact, I vaguely remember coming to his house when I was a child.

At that time, we were in our teens, and there was often no food at home. We like my aunt's house. There are many cousins here, and my uncle is very capable. Although we don't eat well, we are sure to be full. My uncle often buys us an egg.

At first we were a little afraid of him. He grinned at us, and two front teeth were missing from his mouth, which did not affect his kindness. We like to throw ourselves in his arms and act coquettish. He likes children.

Now, he is over 80 years old, lying there quietly, with his diploma on the wall behind him. The date of graduation certificate is 1976. At that time, he was the production team leader, and he took the lead in all the work, not afraid of hardship.

? Uncle's certificate

My aunt is seven years younger than my uncle, and her family is too poor. My grandmother gave her to my uncle as a child bride. They grew up together and have a good relationship. Before marriage, my uncle never bullied her and always regarded her as her sister.

Until my uncle died, my aunt waited on him carefully. I can tell because my uncle is fat in vain, with a fleshy face and a serene face.

I have been thinking in my heart, uncle, you must have been lying for several years, and leaving is also a relief. I hope there is no disease there, and I hope you will continue to protect us.

My uncle is the fifth closest relative I sent away since I was a child. Every time a relative leaves, there will be a tearing pain in his heart.

My grandfather left a few years after I got married. My husband's grandparents are the people who love me the most after entering his house. My grandfather left more than ten years ago. At that time, I seemed ignorant and stupid. I don't believe that grandpa has left, and I can't find him when I get home. My heart is empty.

Last autumn, grandma left, and the pain in her heart was torn again. When I went back, I didn't always stand at the door to meet my grandmother.

Before, we called out to grandma before we reached the door. She was about to go out to meet us and pull her up and down.

Now relatives are getting older and fewer, and every meeting in the future is precious. Every encounter should be well grasped and cherished.

Dear uncle, I wish you a pleasant journey. We will see you off for the last time.

Today, I feel a little depressed. I feel that people have both fame and fortune when they are alive, and they can't take a penny away after they leave.

Only by living, living well is king.
