What if you stay any longer?

She didn't say it, Chunyang could think of it.

Li Guangzhu and Li Guangzhi are both patriarchal, and the only use of the girls in the family is to pave the way for their sons.

The son needs money to study, and he can exchange it for the girl, the son needs money to marry his daughter-in-law, and he can exchange it for the girl, and the son needs money to buy something, and he can exchange it for the girl...

The son is their treasure, and the girl is nothing.

"Don't be in a hurry to run out, let's talk about it after finishing junior high school", Chunyang prudently persuaded: "It's not as easy as you say it is to go out, you have to plan well, and you have to have two dollars on you." ”

"Don't you persuade me to stay home?" asked Li Lingling.

Chunyang smiled: "What's so good about this, as long as you think it's good." ”

"It would be nice if my eldest sister thought the same as you, I wanted to take her out with me, but she didn't want to, I couldn't do anything about her", Li Lingling sighed sadly.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and many things are not experienced once, and they never know which direction to go.

Chunyang chatted with Li Lingling for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, Li Lingling was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to go home, so she ended the conversation and let her go home.

"Then what are you going to do?" Chunyang was still quite worried about her.

Li Lingling smiled suddenly: "I'll go to my sister-in-law's house to play with Wang Jie." You don't know yet, since I beat my sister-in-law and hid outside, I reconciled with Wang Jie and them, they don't bully me, and I don't deal with them. ”

A little girl of the same age, or a relative, is really good to be able to play together.

After separating from Li Lingling, Chunyang walked home briskly against the cold wind.

I heard the dog bark before I saw it when I was far away, and it barked very loudly and irritating.

Inexplicably, Chunyang's heart tugged, and at the same time he had a very bad feeling.

She quickened her pace and walked back, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Cao Peiyu's frightened voice coming from the house.

Cao Peiyu said to Zhi'en: "Quick, go and call your eldest sister back, when she left, she said that Zhili must call her back if she has something." ”

Something is going on...

Chunyang's feet were weak, and he staggered into the house, and saw Zhili lying on the kang with a blue face and purple lips, and he was still conscious, but the situation was very bad.

"What's wrong with Zhili?" Chunyang pounced on the side of the kang and looked at Zhili and asked.

No one answered her, Zhien was getting dressed and packing up, and Cao Peiyu told him to pay attention to safety on the road and bring Cao Yun back early.

Cao Yun has a side job in the mountains, and it takes him half a day to get there by car, and Zhien has to walk longer on two legs. Besides, there are fierce beasts in the mountains, and it is really not safe for him to enter the mountains at night.

"I'll go with you," Chunyang said.

Zhien put on a cloth bag, put on a hat and gloves, and wrapped himself tightly before shaking his head and saying solemnly to Chunyang: "I will go by myself, and the family will depend on you." ”

It was a very heavy entrustment, and Ji-eun entrusted her with the care of his most beloved mother and brother in the world, and she had no reason to refuse.

After Zhi'en left, Chunyang learned what happened from Li Yan and Li Dongmei.

After the winter, Zhili's body is not as good as day by day, and it is often uncomfortable to walk a few steps. He doesn't express this discomfort and cries, which makes it even more uncomfortable.

In the past six months, Cao Peiyu has looked at her almost every inch, and she didn't even work in the field when the autumn harvest was so busy and urgent, so she kept guarding the etiquette at home.

The family has only one wish, hoping that Zhili can survive this winter safely. However, this afternoon, Zhili went to pee in the backyard, and a pheasant suddenly came in from the woodland behind the yard and scared him, and he fell to the ground and convulsed uncomfortably.

Thanks to Cao Peiyu, it was not far away, if he hadn't found it in time, what Chunyang saw at this moment would be a cold corpse.

Although Cao Peiyu was sad, her mind was very clear, she knew that Zhili couldn't hold on, so she was so urgent to ask Zhien to call Cao Yun, she hoped that all the people he liked could be by his side when Zhili left.

Chunyang was very panicked, she forced herself to calm down as soon as possible, and began to arrange things in an orderly manner.

Dinner was not cooked, and the big guys hadn't eaten yet, so Chunyang went to cook with Dongmei, and asked Li Yan to help watch Cao Peiyu and Zhili, and once something happened, he must call them loudly.

It was already more than eight o'clock in the evening when the meal was ready, and there was no electricity, so several people ate by the dim candlelight.

No one has an appetite, but there is nothing left over from the little rice that was stewed. They can't fall, no one can, and even if they don't want to eat, they have to force themselves to eat.

Li Yan couldn't stay up and fell asleep first, Li Dongmei went out to change tofu and was tired for a day, Chunyang also let her sleep first, only herself and Cao Peiyu stared at Zhili with good eyes.

The night was particularly long, so long that the spring sun seemed to be able to hear the ticking sound left behind by every second passing in front of my eyes.

After surviving the long dark night, Chunyang did not breathe a sigh of relief, because Zhili's situation was even worse.

Chunyang asked Cao Peiyu if she wanted to send Zhili to the hospital to have a look, in case, in case...

She knew that there was no case, and Cao Peiyu also knew.

So Cao Peiyu told her that there was no need to toss anymore, just let Zhili'an go safely at home.

At noon, Zhili's situation suddenly improved, he took Cao Peiyu's hand and kept calling "Mom", laughing after calling, silly and very innocent laughter.

The more he laughed, the more fierce Cao Peiyu cried, Chunyang really couldn't see such a picture and hid in the outhouse, and Li Dongmei also came out.

"Chunyang, I look at Zhili and it will be today and tomorrow, there are some things that have to be prepared, or it will be too late", Dongmei lowered her voice and sighed and said: "I'll go back to the village, tell the village chief about the situation here, and it won't be difficult to find someone to help when the time comes." ”

Dongmei is right, you have to prepare.

Fortunately, the coffin and clothes have been prepared in advance, so there is no need to panic.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Zhien and Cao Yun came back, Zhili was very happy to see them, and shouted that he was going to wear new clothes, and he wanted Zhien to take him out to play.

At five o'clock in the evening, Zhili no longer had the strength to shout, and lay on the kang coyly, and it took him a long time before he had a subtle reaction when others talked to him.

At seven o'clock, Zhili fell asleep, his breath gradually faded, and he never woke up again.

Cao Peiyu carefully wiped his body and changed his clothes, and wrapped up the gadgets he usually likes to play, saying that he wanted to take him away with him.

As soon as dawn Zhien went back to the village to call the village chief and others to help, and the big guys buried Zhili next to the graves of grandma and Guo Houze.

There are three graves, two old and one new, which are buried with Cao Peiyu's deepest concern and the most painful and sweet memories. Everyone else was crying, but she didn't shed a single tear, as if all the tears had dried up in the past years.

After the helpers left, the entire Guo family fell into a terrible silence, and even the dog that usually barked the most was lying in the den and kept silent.

The first to break the silence was Cao Yun, who said to Cao Peiyu: "Mom, I haven't eaten for more than a day, I'm hungry, you give me a whole meal." ”
