Chapter 22 Life and Death

On the way back, Yueyue sat in the passenger seat and remained silent.

Several times, Qianhui tried to find a topic, but he always seemed to be in a daze, either not answering, or answering irrelevant questions.

Qianhui thought that he was hit because of his grandfather's illness, so she began to comfort him.

It was not until before going to bed that night that Qianhui discovered the problem.

At that time, Qianhui had just made the bed and put Yueyue to bed.

After Ke Yueyue lay down, his eyes were kept wide open, staring at the ceiling.

Qianhui was puzzled, so she asked, "Yueyue, why don't you sleep?"

Only then did Yueyue look away, and then slowly set her gaze on Qianhui's face, staring at her for a long time before asking abruptly, "Mom, where do people go after they die?"

Qianhui didn't expect Yueyue to ask this question suddenly, and after thinking about it, she replied: "I will go to heaven."

"Then grandpa is going to heaven, right?" Yueyue asked again, his eyes still wide open, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yeah." Qianhui nodded, "You don't need to be too sad, Grandpa may not leave. If he does leave, he will go to live in a good, happy and happy place."

Yueyue thought for a while before asking again: "How do you know that he will go to a very happy place?"

The reason why Qianhui said this just now was just to comfort Yueyue, and she didn't expect him to have a series of "why".But now, since the words have been spoken, it is necessary to "clean up the aftermath".

She thought for a moment before sitting down on Yueyue's bedside: "Because grandpa was kind to others and never did anything bad. If such a person passes away, he will go to heaven."

"Then what if you do something bad?" Yueyue's curiosity seemed to be aroused, and the sadness on his face was not so serious.

"If a person does a lot of evil, he may not be able to go to heaven after he dies."

"Where will it go?" Yueyue asked immediately.

"I do not know either."

"Mom." Yueyue called Qianhui suddenly, and at the same time there was a little panic in his eyes, but he moved his lips and didn't say any more, as if he was full of great worry.

Qianhui thought that he was worried that if he did something bad, he would be punished in the future, so she comforted her and educated her: "Yueyue is fine, as long as we don't do bad things, we will be fine."

After hearing this, Yueyue shook her head suddenly: "Mom, I'm not afraid of being punished."

"What's that?" Qianhui asked.

Yueyue pondered for a few seconds before asking, "Mom, is everyone going to die?"

"Of course." Qianhui replied without thinking.

"What about you?" Yueyue asked again, "Will Mommy die too?"

It was only then that Qianhui realized that Yueyue's eyes were a bit complicated, with worries and fears mixed together, not like a child who is not yet eight years old.

At the same time, she also realized that although Yueyue had heard the topic of "death" before, it was the first time he discovered that his relatives were so close to death, and understood the meaning of death for the first time.

Qianhui suddenly thought that the first time she came into contact with the issue of death was when her grandmother passed away.

Grandma died of illness. When she left, her body was very thin and haggard.

When she saw her grandma lying motionless in the coffin, she was suddenly a little scared.Especially when she saw everyone crying, she panicked even more, not knowing what happened.

After a long time, my mother told her: Grandma is gone and left this world forever.

At that time, she began to know a little about "death".But even so, I would suddenly break down and cry
So now, facing her child's question about "death", she decided to tell the truth, so she nodded and said in a calm tone: "Yes, everyone will die, and so will mother."

"No..." Yueyue suddenly got up from the bed and hugged Qianhui tightly, as if she was afraid that Qianhui would suddenly disappear as soon as she let go, and there was still a bit of suppressed crying in her voice, "I don't want My mother is dead, I don't want my mother to leave me."

As Yueyue cried, Qianhui suddenly felt sad.

But soon, she adjusted her emotions, and said to Yueyue: "It's okay, Yueyue, death is not terrible. For example, if a person has become very old, his body will fall asleep. It's normal."

Yueyue stopped crying suddenly, and then asked again: "How to sleep deeply?"

"Just stop crying and laughing, stop eating, stop working, and get along with the world in another way." Qianhui observed Yueyue's reaction as she spoke, until she felt that his expression did not change. So nervous, he continued, "But don't worry Yueyue, if one day her mother really leaves, Yueyue will have grown up by then, and has enough ability to survive in this world well."

Qianhui thought that after she said this, Yueyue would accept it.

But he didn't want to, Yueyue thought about it, and shook his head very firmly: "No, I don't want my mother to die. I hope my mother has many lives and can live forever. And dad, also want to live forever, you all Be with me all the time. Otherwise, who will I show my good grades? What honor will I have in the future, and who will I share it with?"

"There will always be someone worth sharing." Qianhui said.

Yueyue still shook his head: "No, I only have one father and one mother, and I can't live without you. So, I have to study hard, grow up to be a capable person, and I want to protect you and let you all live in this world. Live for a long, long time."

Qianhui looked at Yueyue and was suddenly moved, even the tip of her nose was sour.

It was this sudden touch that made her give up the idea of ​​having to explain "death" clearly.

Since Yueyue himself has already "longed for beauty", let's go along with his meaning for the time being.

She paused, then hugged Yueyue and said, "Okay, mom also hopes to live a long, long life and be with Yueyue all the time."

"How long will I be with you?" Yueyue was obviously in a better mood, but she was stubborn.

"Stay with Yueyue until she no longer needs her mother," Qianhui said.

"Yueyue will always need her mother." Yueyue still has a stubborn face.

On this day, after Yueyue fell asleep, Qianhui specially found some articles about "death", and decided to tell Yueyue about "death" in a different way.

After all, he is already a primary school student.The problem of death is inevitable and will be faced sooner or later.

A bird, a small goldfish, a cat, a dog, a flower, or a person, one day, he will witness the process of life withering.

Rather than suddenly confront the pain of loss, do your homework ahead of time.

Therefore, she bought "Grandpa Turned into a Ghost", "Andre's Wish" and "Little Scar" online, and planned to read them eagerly to learn about death and the meaning of life from the stories.
