I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1078: Revealing One's True Feelings

According to local custom, three days later, the family took the urn containing the grandmother's ashes to the cemetery behind Guangfu Temple on Tanghe Mountain for burial.

A gentle breeze blew and a light drizzle fell that day. After the grave of the great-grandmother was sealed, the family members left one after another.

Seeing the man still standing in front of the tombstone, Yu Xiang gently reminded him, "Let's go!"

"You guys go back first, I'll stay a little longer." Huang Xiaochuan's voice was a little hoarse.

Yu Xiang glanced at the man, then stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, she handed him the umbrella and left with her children.

When they reached the entrance of the cemetery, she specifically reminded Gao Song, "Keep an eye on things."

Gao Song quickly nodded: "President Yu, don't worry!"

The cemetery is located on Tanghe Mountain. From the cemetery, one can look down at the vast Taihu Lake to the south. The cemetery faces south, and below it is the Guangfu Temple, which is very popular with worshippers. Although it was raining today, it did not deter the devout worshippers and lay Buddhists who came to offer incense.

Huang Xiaochuan is a mature person, and with the experience of two lifetimes, although his grandmother's passing made him very sad, after a few days of adjustment, his mindset has become much more peaceful, and he has accepted the fact.

The deceased are gone, but the living must continue to live well.

The drizzle was still falling, the fine rain pattering softly on the umbrella.

Huang Xiaochuan sat on the wet steps in front of the tomb, letting the mountain wind carry the dense drizzle on his face, making it impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears.

He murmured to his grandmother at the grave, "Aunt, there's something I've never told anyone. I've kept it from you, and from everyone else."

At this point, Huang Xiaochuan gave a wry smile: "You know what? Actually, I came back from my past life."

"You might not believe it, but I've experienced many of these things before." He looked towards the misty, rain-shrouded Taihu Lake in the distance.

"In my previous life, I was a useless person, without any ambition or ability. I couldn't let you enjoy the blessings I brought you. When you passed away, I couldn't even see you one last time."

Rainwater streamed down the steps, soaking his trousers and shoes.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly went back to the summer of 90. So sometimes I think, it must be because you pulled some strings for me with the King of Hell, so that I have a chance to come back and make up for my regrets."

At this point, Huang Xiaochuan's eyes reddened again.

"So, in this life, I work hard to earn money and try my best to give my family a better life. I'm afraid, Aunt, I'm afraid it will be too late. I'm afraid that, like in the last life, by the time I have the ability, you will no longer be here."

At this point, his voice choked up: "Thank goodness, thank goodness I made it in this life. You lived for more than ten years, and I spent more than ten years with you. It was worth it, really worth it."

He wiped the rain off his face, not really knowing whether it was rain or tears.

"But I'm still a little greedy. I still feel it's not enough. I want you to live to be a hundred years old, so I can hear you scolding me 'You little monkey, you rascal!' whenever you have free time!"

"Auntie, the day you left me, I resented my parents. I thought to myself, if only they had agreed to let me be adopted by my maternal uncle, then my tombstone could have been engraved with 'Grandson: Huang Xiaochuan' so you wouldn't have any regrets."

"But I've come to understand later. You've loved me for two lifetimes and never cared what I called you. In your heart, you've always considered me your own grandson, haven't you?"

At this time, the rain gradually stopped, and the rain and mist on the mountain began to slowly dissipate.

"Auntie, don't worry. I'll take good care of my parents and my aunt and uncle. As for my parents, no matter how much they argue, we're still family. I won't get angry with them."

"With my current abilities, helping my older brothers and sisters is no big deal. Besides, I owed them a lot of favors in my past life, so I should repay them in this one!"

He stood up. His legs had gone numb from sitting for so long, so he used his umbrella as a cane for support and stretched his legs.

"Aunt, you've spent your whole life reading countless novels, your personal library, more than ten thousand volumes. You've also worried yourself sick and suffered a lot. Now you don't have to worry anymore; leave it all to me. Just rest here in peace. You chose this place yourself; it's backed by Tanghe Mountain, facing the vast Taihu Lake, and right below Guangfu Temple. There are mountains and water, the Bodhisattva is your neighbor, and your great-uncle is there to keep you company. Don't worry, I'll come to see you whenever I have time and keep you company."

He then solemnly knelt before the tomb.

"Auntie, thank you, thank you for loving me again. In the next life, I don't want to be your grandson, I want to be your grandson, and I will call you 'Grandma' openly and proudly."

He respectfully kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

He then got up and walked down the mountain.

At the entrance of the cemetery, Gao Song, Li Huan, and others were waiting for him.

"Mr. Huang, the steps are slippery, please be careful going down the mountain."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded and strode down the mountain.

When they got home, Yu Xiang saw that the man's clothes and pants were wet, so she said, "I've prepared a bath for you. Go take a bath and change your clothes. After you've showered, I'll help you blow-dry your hair."

Just then, the little guy came running over eagerly in August, calling out in his sweet, childish voice, "Daddy, hug me!"

Yu Xiang hugged the little one tightly: "Daddy's clothes are wet, he needs to take a shower and change. How about Daddy takes a shower first, okay?"

The little one crossed his arms in Yu Xiang's arms and nodded, "Okay!"

After Huang Xiaochuan took a shower and changed his clothes, Yu Xiang helped him dry his hair. After drying his hair, Yu Xiang suddenly asked, "Did the mother and her two children leave?"

Huang Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Zhang Yun left yesterday afternoon with her two sons. Everyone knows the reason, so we all keep it to ourselves.

Huang Xiaochuan was caught off guard by Yu Xiang's sudden question.

"When are you going back to Shanghai?"

"We'll be back this afternoon; Xiaodong and Xiaoduo still have to go to school."

Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying are siblings who are in their first year of high school this year. High school students in Shanghai have a heavy academic workload.

Moreover, the siblings did not attend the same high school. Huang Zeji attended Shanghai High School, a key high school where science was its strength, so 70% of the top science students in Shanghai attended this school.

Huang Ze was admitted to this high school last year, ranking seventh in the Shanghai Junior High School Entrance Examination.

Huang Ruiying attended Shanghai Affiliated High School, a school known for its strong humanities foundation, which she lacked compared to her brother. However, she was still admitted to Shanghai Affiliated High School with a ranking of 703 in the high school entrance examination.

The brother and sister are from completely different backgrounds, one specializing in science and the other in humanities.

After changing his clothes, Huang Xiaochuan went to the villa where his uncle and aunt lived.

When they arrived, both Zeng Hong's and Zeng Xia's families were there, and they were packing their things to return to Shanghai.

"Uncle, Aunt!" Huang Xiaochuan greeted Zeng Jiahua and Qian Jiazhen as soon as he entered the door.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

When Tang Ruixuan and Huo Xinyuan saw their uncle arrive, they greeted him.

Huang Xiaochuan asked Huo Xinyuan, "When are you going back to the army?"

"The train is tomorrow morning."

Huang Xiaochuan instructed, "You must do well in the army. The army is a good place to temper a person. Look at you, you've only been there for a few months, but you've changed a lot. If anything happens, don't panic, call me immediately."

Hearing this, Huo Xinyuan's nose tingled, and she nodded, "I understand."

Having gone through so much, she could understand her uncle's good intentions.

"Little brother, when are you going back?" Zeng Hong asked him.

"I'm going back this afternoon too."

Zeng Hong instructed, "Take a good rest for two days after you go back. You've been too tired these past few days."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "I know."

After leaving his uncle's house, Huang Xiaochuan went to visit his parents and try to ease the tension between them.
