After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy
Chapter 480: Death
What Chen Jin didn't say was that the dowry and property her parents left her were enough for her to spend for several lifetimes, and she had no shortage of money at all now.
It doesn't matter much even if the money goes down the drain.
Previously, she was so stubborn about getting married that she made her parents very angry. They also didn't think highly of her ex-husband, so when she got married, she didn't get a single penny as a dowry.
After her divorce, her parents gave her the dowry and property they had prepared long ago. Perhaps they felt that she had experienced a lot and was mature enough to protect her own property.
Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that I didn’t give her the dowry. At that time, she was obsessed with love. It’s hard to say how much of the dowry would be left under that circumstance.
This is a blessing in misfortune.
By the time Chen Jin had put his belongings in place, it was almost evening.
Xia Ran is Chen Jin's assistant as the head chef, preparing a table to celebrate Chen Jin's move in and also to give Xia Ran a treat.
Considering that his meat-stewing skills were not very good, Chen Jin specifically asked for more meat to be braised while Xia Ran was still around, intending to save it for the next two days.
Fortunately, the temperature has been relatively low these days, so staying for two days should not be a problem.
"Okay," Xia Ran naturally had no objection. Just add more.
The two chatted while cooking, and Wangcai and the tabby cat kept spinning under their feet.
The first thing I cooked was the tendons and tendons, and I also threw in a few large pieces of pure beef and stewed them in a pot. When the time came, I would take them out and give them to Chen Jin to eat slowly.
Xia Ran ordered the dish Jintoubanao because it is very tasty and fragrant when chewed.
Once the food is stewed in the pot, all you have to do is watch the fire. This job is left to Chen Jin and the tabby cat and Wangcai who come over from time to time to show their presence and ask for petting.
If they weren't worried that the fire in the stove would accidentally burst out and burn the two kids, they might have stuck to Chen Jin and refused to move.
"I was worried about whether the three of you could get along well, but now I realize that I was just overthinking."
Chen Jin laughed when he heard this, "I can't help it, maybe I was born with an affinity for animals, I have always been loved by cats and dogs, it has been like this since I was a kid.
It is said that when I just learned to walk, I couldn't walk when I saw other people's cats and dogs, and I had to go over and grab them. Moreover, when the cats and dogs saw me, they also liked to come close to me. At that time, my family was scared because they were afraid of being scratched by these cats and dogs.
When I was a little older, I specifically asked to get a puppy, which was also very well-behaved and obedient, just like a child. Unfortunately, it died short-lived when I was seventeen. Since then, I have never kept a cat or dog again, because I can't stand their sudden departure."
What Chen Jin didn't say was that she almost cried to death because of this, was sad for a long time, and even fell seriously ill because of it.
This was the first time she faced death since she was a child, and she was particularly afraid of hearing the word death, and it is still the same now.
Her family planned to buy a new one that looked very similar and continue raising it, but she refused.
Xia Ran: "..."
Xia Ran doesn't often keep cats or dogs, either in this life or in the afterlife.
On the one hand, she doesn't like cats and dogs very much, but she doesn't have to keep them.
On the other hand, I feel that I am busy with my daily life and have no extra energy and time to raise them. I am afraid that I cannot raise them well and take good care of them, and that these little guys will suffer with me.
After all, human lives are also lives, and dog lives are also lives, so just don't keep them.
The reason I raise Wangcai in this life is purely for the purpose of guarding the house. By the way, it can also add a living creature to the house, which can add more movement and make the house seem more lively.
Otherwise, she would feel that the yard was empty and lacking something because she was the only one there. Moreover, someone in the family had just passed away, so it was particularly important to have a dog.
But Xia Ran still understood what Chen Jin meant, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Well, if you like it, just keep it. Not only animals will die, but we humans will too. Sooner or later, we will all leave this world. It's either us sending others away, or others sending us away.
When you meet, just stay together and try to live happily. As for leaving, that is also normal. Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable for all of us. Just face them calmly. Everyone has to die anyway. This may be the fairest thing in the world. If you think about it, you will die sooner or later, so there is nothing you cannot accept. "
Of course, Xia Ran didn't stop working.
Chen Jin asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?" How could anyone not be afraid of death?
Xia Ran replied: "I am afraid, and I hope to live longer. However, no matter whether we are afraid or not, we will die when it is time to die, and we cannot delay it for a moment. Rather than saying that I am not afraid of death, it is better to say that I can accept death calmly now.
Besides, when and how we die is not decided by us, but by God. For things we have no control over, worrying, being afraid and being terrified are useless, so we might as well face it calmly.
Besides, fear is a day, happiness is also a day, we can't worry about the coming of death every day because of fear. This is not worth the loss, it is better to cherish the present and live in the present.
Don't be sad about its premature death, and don't feel regretful. How do you know that the dog you raised didn't die in happiness and perfection? Maybe it was lucky enough to meet you and lived a happy and fulfilling life without any regrets. "
Chen Jin was silent for a long time after hearing this, then he added some more firewood to the stove and said:
"What you said seems to be right, but few people can face this calmly, and some even turn pale at the mention of death. When I look at my parents with gray hair on their temples, I always worry that they will suddenly leave me. I feel particularly uncomfortable when I think about this. Tell me, why can't they live a few more years? Why can't people's lifespans be longer?"
Xia Ran: "As people enter old age, their body functions begin to deteriorate, and all kinds of problems accumulated over the years will come to haunt them. When people gradually lose control of their own body functions, those who live long are not necessarily happy. And those who die suddenly may be the ones with the best luck.
When people get old, the greatest happiness is not to live long, but to be healthy, free from pain, able to eat and drink, and to die suddenly. This is the real happiness. To be honest, I envy those who don't have to suffer any pain when they get old and die in their sleep.
You have to die when you are supposed to die, why live so long? Look at those old men and women lying in bed unable to move, it is difficult for them to even drink a sip of water, let alone go to the toilet, it is even more difficult.
Not only do they suffer, but their children who serve them will also suffer. Why do they have to do this?
In order to keep their parents alive and well, some children even spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to keep their parents alive who cannot take care of themselves, just so that they can still call their parents "Parents".
