Don't know if you've been through something like this? I've been through it.
In December 2010, I received a call from the company leader saying that our captain's mother had died and asked me to come over and help me and tell me the address. Bring a coat and it's cold at night. To help, I talked to my family, I didn't eat, I took my coat and went out.
When I came to the leadership community, I couldn't go downstairs, and I could feel that the day was getting colder. The road is full of wreaths, and the small garden downstairs has also been turned into a spiritual hall. At 6 o'clock, the people who sent wreaths were still endless. The leader sat in the shed and kowtowed to the relatives and friends who came to comfort him. The atmosphere, of course, was also very bleak. Although the company leaders said that they had called us to help, we could not come empty-handed, and immediately ran outside the community and set a wreath.
Carrying a wreath to Zhang Luobaishi's master book, he said, registered a note, and followed the gift. It cost a small 500 yuan before and after. These are all over before I came to the leader and said, If there is anything that needs my help, the leader will explain it to you. You mourn. But the leader behind me answered, and I was blinded. He said that I and Duan's colleagues guarded the spirit with him at night. Go home in the morning to rest, the company has been notified. No need to go to work during the day, normal attendance... This is to ask me to help guard the spirit, and think it is good to have a leader to accompany me.
By 10 o'clock in the evening, there were basically no people who came to deliver the wreath, and a few relatives of the leader's family came to comfort and comfort.
Know that after 11 p.m., the days in December are already very cold. The only place to hide downstairs is the little spirit shed. My colleagues and I could only squeeze into the shed. Kneel on the side. The leader was also kneeling on the side. The relatives of the leader said that they should go up to the house to rest, and told us to look at it in the spiritual shed, and the lamp must not be extinguished, and the fire in the brazier must not be extinguished. I don't know if the leader saw that the two of us knelt more standardly, and actually agreed... Left me and my colleagues in the dark. These tasks can only be done conscientiously. He looked at the long lamp, I looked at the brazier... At that time, I didn't experience this when I was young. Do these things carefully.
Staying up, the leader has not been down. I was wondering if the leader was asleep in the house, what would the two of us do... At 5:30, after 6 hours, the leader came down, and my colleagues and I were able to rest. It's too cold, and it's really hard to stay up. Say that it's useless, let's find a breakfast place to eat first. Drink some peppery soup. It's important to warm up.
The first day finally passed, I went home in the morning and went to bed with my head covered, and I didn't get up until after 2 p.m. Lunch. Watching TV for a while, I don't want to say anything, and I have to keep the spirit guard at night...
The next night came again, kneeling in the spiritual shed, looking at the old man's portrait, people lived for a lifetime, and the result was not so desolate. In such a scene, there is always an unspeakable desolation in my heart.
It was also the first time that he and his colleagues helped the leader's mother to guard the spirit. It's a bit ridiculous to think about it now. Somewhat hilarious.
On the day of the funeral, the company found a car, and the nurses of the hospital also followed, bringing a strong needle, worried that the leader's father could not bear the blow. Always ready to rescue. Unexpectedly, this needle of strength was not given to the leader's father after all, but to the leader, the moment of cremation, the leader could not stand the moment of the last separation, protecting the coffin, not letting the spark, I pulled the leader's belt off, and I could not stop it. The leader passed out first, and this needle was given to the leader. And the father of the leader has clearly accepted all this. The mournful cries in the funeral home. People's hearts can't be unspeakably uncomfortable, and the tears can't help but flow down. I really can't stand this scene.
Everything passed, and then the leader prepared the meal, and what I don't understand is that they are all crying like this, where there is still the mood to eat. Naturally, I didn't go either. Took a taxi home by myself.
Go home and spend time with your family. There is an old saying that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not stopping, and the son wants to raise and not to be kissed. Treat your parents well and don't do anything that you will regret later.
Have you ever experienced anything like this?
