“...... Mr. Xiao, there are not many dishes in this house, don't dislike it. ”

In the hall, the old lady took a wiped stool from the backyard and put it on the table.

Turning around, he said to Lian Ge.

"Plenty of heart. Excuse me, old man. ”

Sitting at the dining table, looking at the few dishes on the table, Lian Ge said to the old lady with a smile.

"Don't bother, don't bother......" The old lady wiped her hands with a smile on her face, "Eat them all, it's not good if the food is cold for a while." ”

Beside him, the young man who took the stool from his grandmother's hand and sat down looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but swallow, but he didn't move his chopsticks.

"Sir, try it. The old man sitting next to Lian Ge greeted, "It's all some dishes that are available at home, I don't know if it's to your taste." ”

When Lian Ge heard this, he turned his gaze and looked at the three people sitting around the dining table, and after a pause, he picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of bacon with chopsticks and garlic sprouts.

"It's smelly. Eating this piece of bacon, Lian Ge said with a smile,

"It's good to taste, it's good to taste...... old lady said with a smile.

“...... Xiaoshan, help this gentleman serve a bowl of rice. The old man smiled and turned his head to his grandson.

Hearing this, the young man prepared to get up,

"Don't bother, I'll do it myself. Lian Ge stood up and stopped the young man's movements,

"That's fine, sir, just feel free, the rice cooker is on this side......" The old man nodded and replied.

Seeing this, the young man also sat down, picked up his chopsticks, picked up the long-coveted bacon and ate it.

Looking at the three people at the dining table, Lian Ge smiled slightly, walked to the side, next to the rice cooker, picked up the rice spoon on the lid, and served a bowl of rice.

......

"By the way, little sir, the ...... on your shoulder Would you like to serve it some food too?"

Walking back to the dining table, as soon as Lian Ge sat down, the old lady at the dining table said loudly.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Before Lian Ge could speak, the little mouse on his shoulder raised his forelimbs and barked twice.

"I'd better serve it some food. Seeing this, the old lady smiled and stood up,

"Excuse me. Lian Ge glanced at the mouse, withdrew his gaze, and thanked the old lady.

"No trouble, no trouble......" The old lady waved her hand, put down her chopsticks, and walked back into the kitchen.

......

“...... Little sir, you white rat is really human. The old lady took a bowl, filled some rice, sandwiched the chopsticks and put it on the ground next to the table.

Seeing this, the little mouse instantly jumped off Lian Ge's shoulder, surrounded the rice bowl, and ate it.

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and didn't say anything.

“...... Little sir, you can eat too, don't be so polite. ”

The old lady sat back down at the table and beckoned.

......

At the dinner table, one person sat on each side, eating lunch.

Lian Ge held the rice bowl, ate the rice, sandwiched some fried vegetables, and did not go to the bacon on the plate.

Gradually, the old man and the old lady noticed that only the young man was still devouring it, and every time he ate a piece of bacon, he had to take a big bite of rice.

“...... Sir, I'm going to make you smile. The old man held the rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and after looking at his grandson, he said to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge also glanced at the young man, smiled slightly and shook his head,

"It's good. ”

“...... Grandpa, what are you talking about?" the young man paused as he gobbled up, looking at his grandfather and Lian Ge, a little puzzled.

"Grandpa, you can eat too, come, you can eat a piece of meat. ”

As he spoke, the young man took the bacon with chopsticks and put it in his grandfather's bowl.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but smile and ate as well.

......

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

Just then there was a knock on the door,

Hearing the sound, the four people at the dinner table paused one after another, and on the ground, the mice that were fighting around the rice bowl also chewed quickly and turned their heads,

"Uncle Wu, are you eating?"

Next to the open door of the half-hall, two figures wearing raincoats appeared in front of them, and greeted them kindly,

"Yes, just started eating, have you eaten, Officer Cheng, why don't you eat some together?" ”

As he spoke, the old man stood up from the table and walked towards the door of the hall.

"No need, Uncle Wu, you can eat first, let's just stand under this roof. We're all wet, and we're staining your hall in a while, and it's a hassle for you to clean up. ”

The policeman surnamed Cheng waved his hand and said,

"By the way, you can bring this in. ”

As he spoke, the policeman surnamed Cheng took a bag of rice from another policeman next to him and handed it to the old man.

"This happens to be a bag of rice distributed by the bureau, and my family hasn't finished eating the rice they bought last time, so I thought I'd bring it to you. ”

"How's that going to work? The old man waved his hand and refused,

"Uncle Wu, I've mentioned it all, you won't want me to bring it back. I'll leave you here. ”

As he spoke, the policeman surnamed Cheng stretched out his hand and put the bag he was carrying by the door.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head and didn't say anything more,

"Then you guys come in first......"

As he spoke, the old man turned around again and shouted to the old lady at the dinner table,

"Old woman, there are still towels that are not dry, bring them to Officer Cheng and wipe the rain. ”

"Uncle Wu, we won't trouble you......"

"Then you can bring the rice back. The old man said this, and turned back.

Hearing this, Officer Cheng hesitated, took off his raincoat, shook off the rainwater, hung it by the door, and rubbed the muddy water on his shoes on the ground by the eaves, before stepping into the hall with another policeman.

“...... Didn't you say that the rain had stopped, why was it still raining, so it came in the rain. ”

The old man saw the two policemen step into the hall and continued to walk towards the dining table, and asked in a loud voice,

"Didn't I see that the rain was a little lighter, and I was so anxious, so I rushed over with my colleagues......" Officer Cheng replied with a smile,

"Then I'll take you to see the corpse. ”

"Uncle Wu, let's eat first, don't spoil your appetite for a while. Officer Cheng shook his head, turned his gaze again, and looked at the hall,

"It's not bad or bad for appetite, after so many years, I've long been used to it. The old man shook his head.

“...... Uncle Wu, do you still have a guest here?" Officer Cheng didn't answer, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Uncle Wu nodded and didn't explain much.

......

Lian Ge turned his eyes and glanced at the two policemen, although they were both wearing raincoats when they came, the shoes on their faces and trouser legs were still inevitably stained with some muddy water, and there were many places on their sleeves and hair that were wet from the rain.

“...... Let's wipe the rain off your body. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Chen. ”

Mrs. Chen, who walked into the back room, walked out again and handed two fairly dry towels to the two policemen.

"Officer Cheng, come with me, the body is still the same as before, in the coffin under the eaves. ”

"Uncle Wu, didn't you say that you would wait until you finish eating?"

When the old man heard this, he shook his head, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

After wiping the rain, the two policemen thanked the old lady again, and then walked towards the outside of the hall and the eaves.

......

Then, under the eaves of the house, the sound of words mixed with the sound of rain sounded clearly in my ears.

"You can help me lift this coffin. ”

"...... Uproar"

The sound of the coffin board rubbing against the coffin sounded, and immediately after, under the eaves, there was a silence,

"Oh, what a sin. ”

The old man's voice sounded again,

“...... This is the corpse, look at it. ”
