“...... No need to send it, it's all in the village, not far away, and we can go back a few by ourselves. ”

“...... Chang, then we'll go first...... You don't have to send it, you're busy with yourself, just take care of the old lady......"

“...... Okay, then you go slowly......"

In the yard, under the incandescent lamp,

After eating, the guests at the table began to leave their seats one after another, and after saying a word to the middle-aged man, they dispersed everywhere.

There were only a few late arrivals in the courtyard, who had stopped their chopsticks and gathered around the banquet to talk. His face was red with wine, he was a little drunk, and he was still holding a wine glass, holding a wine bottle, and the people next to him were drinking wine, and the chef and helper who had just finished their work and sat down to eat.

“...... Drink...... It's rare to meet this opportunity, and it's a big night, do you say to drink or not...... Ah, come, I'll go for a ...... first."

“...... Lao Xu, aren't you robbing me of wine to drink......"

“...... Eh, for today's feast, I guess all the people in the village have come over when they have time......"

“...... No, I just took the time to look at it, and it's close to thirty tables......"

The mixed sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the noisy words gradually subsided,

There were only a few left, and from time to time there were still the voices of people at the table, and the courtyard, and under the darkening night overhead, it gradually seemed a little quiet.

......

“...... Xiaode, I'm almost back, you're busy with yours. ”

At the table of Lian Ge, several old people got up one after another, and Aunt Xu looked at the courtyard before, walked over to the middle-aged man who was smiling and sending off the guests on the edge of the courtyard, and said,

“...... Aunt Xu, sit down for a while? It's rare for Aunt Xu today, Uncle Wu, you are all there? Sit down and talk for a while? I'll pour you a cup of tea. ”

The middle-aged man turned around and said something to Aunt Xu with a smile?

“...... No, it's getting late at this time? Are you old? If you don't go back and squint these eyes, these eyes will be a little unbearable. I'll go say goodbye to Mrs. Cheng again, and I'll go back. ”

Then Aunt Xu shook her head and said out loud?

“...... Then I won't keep you, Aunt Xu, you can come and sit again one day, my mother will definitely be happy to see you. My mom is over there. ”

The middle-aged man smiled on his face, and said to Aunt Xu, and turned around again and looked at the side of the old lady who was paralyzed in a wheelchair.

Aunt Xu nodded, and walked over to the side.

The middle-aged man looked at it, turned around again, smiled on his face, and sent off another departing guest.

“...... Aunt Liu, don't you sit down for a while......"

......

Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man on the side of the courtyard,

Retracted his gaze and looked at the old lady in a wheelchair at the table not far away,

The old lady's hand on the wheelchair was still trembling, her head leaned weakly on the back of the wheelchair, and her somewhat cloudy gaze, as before, looked at her in front of her in a daze.

“...... Mrs. Cheng, thank you for your birthday wine, I'll go back and come and talk to you. ”

Aunt Xu walked up to the old lady's wheelchair and said to the old lady who was paralyzed in the wheelchair.

“...... Another day, I'll come to see you again, and you'll take care of yourself...... In other words, don't be discouraged...... Now that you're like this, don't toss your son...... Look at how filial your son is, taking care of you to eat and take care of your drink...... You're seventy years old, and you're still celebrating your birthday with such a lively scene, look at it, so many people have come to celebrate your birthday today, how wonderful......"

Aunt Xu bent over and said aloud to the old lady who was sitting paralyzed in a wheelchair.

The old lady seemed to hear Aunt Xu's words, her eyes were a little cloudy, her eyes were slowly rolling, first looking at this Aunt Xu, followed by her, and then turning her gaze, looking at the dining tables, the empty stools, looking at the courtyard that was gradually quieting down, and then turning her somewhat cloudy gaze, looking at Aunt Xu, who was still talking, her mouth was slightly open, and the two hands on the wheelchair trembled more and more, as if she wanted to lift up.

“...... How many sins has filial piety suffered over the years...... Tell me, if you were a different person, who would be able to take care of you so well...... Mrs. Cheng, do you have anything to tell me?"

The old lady who was paralyzed in a wheelchair opened her mouth a little more, and her lips couldn't help but tremble, and Aunt Xu noticed the change in the old lady's face and asked out loud.

“...... It's okay, Mom, I'm not tired...... You're still here, it's enough to be with me. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man's voice sounded, smiled, walked behind Aunt Xu, and said loudly to the old lady in the wheelchair.

“...... This old woman...... What a ......."

When Aunt Xu heard this, she straightened up again, turned around a little, looked at the old lady, and then looked at the middle-aged man, shook her head and said aloud,

“...... I guess my head is clearer again at this time, I know I feel sorry for you...... Xiaode, don't blame your mother, your mother, it's because of this disease that she is so crazy, otherwise she wouldn't be so ...... to you"

“...... It's okay, it's my mom after all. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, and then looked back at the old lady who was sitting paralyzed in a wheelchair,

The old lady's hands trembled and were not so bad, and her slightly open mouth was closed again, just looking at the middle-aged man, just looking at him with straight eyes.

“...... That is, filial piety is good in your heart, otherwise ......"

Aunt Xu spoke again, turned her head again, and looked at the old lady,

“...... Mrs. Cheng, take care of your body, I'll go first...... Xiaode, I'll go back first. ”

“...... That's okay, then Aunt Xu, I'll send you. ”

“...... No need to send, no need to send...... Take care of your mother. ”

Aunt Xu turned around and said something to the middle-aged man, then turned around and walked into the yard.

The middle-aged man followed two steps, stood in place, watched Aunt Xu walk away, and then turned his head again to look at the old lady who was paralyzed in a wheelchair.

“...... Mother. It's getting cold outside, so I'll go get you some clothes again. ”

The middle-aged man walked up to the old lady and said loudly to the old lady,

The old lady just looked at the middle-aged man with straight eyes,

“...... Then mom, you sit in the courtyard again, wait a while, and when the guests leave, I'll push mom and you back to the house to rest. ”

The middle-aged man said again, and then walked away to the side, sending another guest who got up and left the table.

......

“...... Lao Chang, if you still want these leftover dishes, if you want, I will bring you a few pots and pack them separately, if you don't want them, I will directly pour them all into the bucket for you. ”

Some of the guests who left were left, and the tables became more and more empty, leaving only a few village people who came here and there were still talking at the tables, and a few drunk guests were a little drunk, climbing each other's shoulders, and snorting with wine.

The cooks and helpers who had eaten got up one after another and began to clean up the leftovers and dishes on the tables.

At the table where Lian Ge sits, there is only one person left.

Turning his gaze, he looked at the middle-aged man who was smiling and seeing off the guests, and the old lady who was slumped in a wheelchair and looked straight in front of her, as if looking at the middle-aged man.

Pausing his gaze, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze.

It just so happened that a helper who was cleaning up the leftovers dragged a bucket and walked to Lian Ge's table,

“...... Young man, do you still eat?"

looked at Lian Ge, and the helper asked out loud,

Shaking his head, Lian Ge stood up and walked towards the edge of the courtyard.

Stepping out of the courtyard, pausing on the side of the village road outside this courtyard, Lian Ge drove his mana, raised his hand and waved lightly, and applied the magic of 'invisible concealment' to himself,

Turn around, stand on the edge of this courtyard, and continue to look into this courtyard.
