Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce

Chapter 232 Lost Her Home Again

She had originally planned to cook a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner. Although she wanted to celebrate the holiday by herself, she gave up in less than three minutes. It wasn’t that she was too lazy to cook, but it was that her culinary skills weren’t good at all. At most, she could cook some easy home-cooked dishes. Fortunately, she knew how to bake bread and dumplings. It wasn’t to the extent that she wouldn’t be able to eat dumplings during Spring Festival.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating New Year’s Eve dinner were two things that every family in the country did together during the Spring Festival. While watching the live broadcast of the gala on her mobile phone, she saw many new faces. She hadn’t watched a gala for many years. The last time she watched a gala was when she was with her parents. At that time, the family was sitting around the table and eating a sumptuous meal while watching the gala program.

She was from a working-class family. Her parents had worked hard all their lives to finally buy a small house. They thought about how they would never have to rent a house again, but in the end, in just two to three years, the couple passed away together.

Looking at the table full of unedible dishes, Su Yan couldn’t help but smirk. She cursed Tang Yitong inside. She actually felt a little lonely. Amidst this national festive atmosphere, she was alone. It really looked a little pitiful.

The sky had already darkened. The light snow that had been falling for a whole day had also stopped. Outside, there were children setting off firecrackers and laughter was everywhere.

Su Yan braced herself and ate all the dumplings. She stayed up past midnight. After the bell rang at the end of the gala, she lay on the bed and fell asleep. With her regular sleep schedule, it was already impressive that she stayed up till this time.

On the first day of the Spring Festival, she slept at home for the whole day. Other than eating and drinking, she spent the whole day in bed. There was no heating in winter here, so she was freezing

On the second day, it snowed the whole day. It was unknown whether global warming had caused a change in the climate, but it had already snowed four to five times since she came back to Feng City, which usually didn’t have much snow.

Su Yan got out of bed and dressed up. Then, she called a taxi and went straight to the cemetery in Feng City. Back then, her parents died together, so naturally, they were buried together.

Nanshan Fuyuan Cemetery.

The natural marble tombstone was very dirty from the snow. Su Yan took out a packet of tissue paper and wiped it gently. Then, she placed the dumplings in the lunch box in front of the tombstone.

Looking at the two familiar black and white photos on the tombstone, Su Yan said, “Dad, Mom, today is the second day of the Spring Festival. I came to see the two of you. Let me tell you a secret. I can make dumplings now. Although the taste and appearance aren’t that good, they’re still edible.”

Speaking of this, she squatted down, picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth. “Gee, next time, I have to use an insulated lunchbox. The dumplings are a little cold, but you guys can only look at them anyway. You guys can’t eat them at all. This box of dumplings is filled with pork, shrimp, eggs, while the other box is filled with pork, fennel, and dad’s favorite pickled cabbage.”

As Su Yan spoke, she ate the dumplings in front of the tombstone. Without saying a word, she simply squatted on the ground and finished all three boxes of dumplings.

A moment later, she stood up. She had eaten too quickly just now and couldn’t help but burp a few times. Looking at the two black and white photos on the tombstone, she said softly, “Mom, Dad, your daughter has lost her home again.”

Although her voice was very soft, it reached Wei Zhou’s ears. He looked at the cold marble tombstone and listened to Su Yan’s words. He didn’t know why, but his heart ached, and his body felt like it was pierced by an icicle. It felt cold and painful.

The snow had cleared, but the cold wind had become stronger. Su Yan didn’t know how long she stood in the cemetery. She didn’t leave until her feet were numb from the cold.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were very quiet. Occasionally, people could be seen in groups of two or three. The traffic lights on the non-main roads all changed to flashing yellow lights. When she walked back, she didn’t call for a ride. Instead, she rented a shared motorbike at the foot of the cemetery mountain. However, the horsepower of this motorbike was really low, and it didn’t seem to be much faster than a bicycle.

Two hours later, she finally drove the car back to a motorbike station near Sunshine City. After scanning the code and returning the motorbike, she headed in the direction of her home.
