The roads in the village were narrow and potholed, so we didn't choose to drive there. The old headmaster led us over a hill, and a small mountain village appeared at the foot of the mountain. The village is not very large, there are some tiled houses scattered in the middle, and there are some rice fields around it, and at this moment, there are many villagers harvesting rice in the village. One by one, they are busy and happy.

The old principal pointed down: "Old Xu, look, there is Tangjia Village inside." ”

The godfather nodded: "Old Fei, go back." We can just go and look for it ourselves, and the children in your school will not be able to do without you for a while. ”

"I don't need to take you down, do I?" said the old headmaster.

The godfather shook his head.

The old headmaster didn't persevere, and he was probably worried about the children.

I followed my godfather down the mountain. When they arrived at the edge of a farmland: "Godfather, will you wait a while? I'll go and ask them where Tang Guo's family is?"

As I walked, I took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, approached a farmer, and handed him a cigarette: "Uncle, is it okay to ask you something?"

The uncle smiled and took the cigarette in my hand: "It's from the city, right?

! You'd think I'm here to investigate family planning.

I hurriedly smiled: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I want to ask you where Tang Guo's family is?"

"What are you looking for her? ”

I nodded: "Yes, I am his brother, his father is dead, we come to pay respects." ”

This uncle heard me say this. Then he sighed: "Poor boy." Go ahead, his house is at the entrance of the village, you go and see, there should be a lot of people there now, you can easily see it when you go. ”

I nodded and thanked him. followed the godfather non-stop and came to the entrance of the village again. Sure enough, as the uncle said, the entrance of the village at this time was quite lively, and many people gathered. Most of them should be some villagers in the surrounding area.

In front of me were two or three dilapidated tiled houses, although I knew that it was true that I was poor here, but I really didn't expect that Tang Guo's family would live in such a house.

The godfather pushed me beside him: "Lin Feng, don't be in a daze." I'll be waiting for you outside. ”

I nodded and walked in, and when the villagers standing in the house saw me coming in, their eyes were fixed on me, and I ignored them. When I looked inside, I saw a table in the middle of the room, and on the table was a photograph of a middle-aged man. And smiling.

In front of the table knelt a girl. Dressed in white, he was crying faintly. I took a closer look and was sure that it was Tang Guo. Then the person in that photo should be Tang Guo's father.

This kind of linen and filial piety is still quite common in the countryside. Generally, people in rural areas have to do a ritual after they die. At this time, I don't know what Tang Guo thinks in his heart? Do you want to do a Dharma deed? Or do you want to be simple?

I took a few steps forward. A middle-aged man next to me had already walked over and patted me: "Young man, what are you doing?"

I ignored him. went to Tang Guo and squatted down.

patted her gently: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

Tang Guo slowly turned his head, saw that it was me, paused obviously, and then threw himself into my arms without warning, and cried out with a wow.

This little girl must have been depressed for the past two days.

I didn't say anything. A hand patted lightly on his back.

Tang Guo cried in my arms for about a few minutes before it gradually turned into sobbing. After a long time, I pulled a napkin out of my pocket. handed it to Tang Guo: "Tang Guo, don't cry, mourn and change." ”

Tang Guo silently took the napkin in my hand and wiped his tears. Then he shuddered and said, "Lin... Lin Feng... Why are you here?"

"I was going to see you in the hospital today, but I didn't expect to hear the news. I was worried about you, so I rushed over. You don't know how to give me a call. Do you know I'm going to worry about you?"

Tang Guo shook his head: "I don't want to trouble you. ”

I shook my head, "You're stupid." I've long since considered you my sister. It is also said that it is not troublesome. Get up, don't kneel for a long time. As I spoke, I picked up Tang Guo and put him on a stool next to him.

At this time, the middle-aged man just now came over again: "Young man, who are you, and does it have anything to do with Tang Guo?"

I looked at him, and Tang Guo spoke next to him at this time: "This is my uncle." "The tone is not very good.

When I heard Tang Guo say this, I smiled at the friendliness: "Hello, I am Tang Guo's friend and his brother. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Tang Guo: "Guo'er, is it?"

Tang Guo nodded: "Yes, uncle." ”

The middle-aged man immediately smiled, ignored me, and sat next to Tang Guo: "Guo'er, what did you think about what I told you just now?"

Tang Guo lowered his head and thought for a while: "Uncle, you are asking me to think about it." Okay?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "I'll come back in the afternoon, my brother's funeral can't be delayed." He snorted and left.

I don't know how, I feel bad about this middle-aged man.

Slowly, the people who had gathered in the room slowly dispersed. I'm the only one left in the big room, Tang Guo.

The godfather was talking to some villagers outside, and it seemed that most of the village names here still knew the godfather.

I glanced at Tang Guo next to me, paused, and asked, "Tang Guo, what are you going to do with your father's funeral?" ”

Tang Guo shook his head: "I don't know either, so I rely on my uncle's help." My father is just such a younger brother, who can he rely on if he doesn't rely on him?"

"And what did he just make you think about?"

"My father asked for a sum of money for the funeral, but where do I have extra money now, and I still owe so much foreign debt. So my uncle asked me to transfer a few acres of land in my family to him, and he gave me money so that I could finish the funeral. ”

I nodded, "Isn't that good?"

Tang Guo smiled: "It's good." Half of the price was not given, and he was taking advantage of the fire to rob. Knowing that I have a request for him, I can't do it if I don't agree to him. ”

", how can he do that! Isn't he your own uncle?"

"Hehe, dear uncle. I don't think so. When my father was hospitalized, almost everyone in the village lent me money, but my uncle didn't give me a penny, and since my father was hospitalized, he hasn't been to see him once. When the village saw that I still had relatives, they naturally wouldn't overstep their bounds. He knew that I had something to ask him for, so he put forward this unreasonable condition. Tang Guo sneered after speaking.
