Chapter 104: The Aftermath of Chang Ye
Chang Abacus listened to Jiang Er's voice, glanced at Jiang Er, recognized that it was Jiang Er himself in front of him, his slightly trembling left hand, touched the back of Jiang Er's hand, and said weakly: "Erxing?~ I am sick here." As he spoke, he propped his right hand on his leg, stretched out a finger, stood up and pointed at his head, and Chang Tingzhi next to him choked up and hurriedly answered: "The second brother is a cerebral infarction, a cerebral thrombosis, and he had a disease last year, and it was not serious when he was examined." Chang Abacus said to Jiang Er again: "I can't survive this time, I know." The right finger pointed to a bookcase next to it, and said: "There are ~ three letters there, the letter ~ the letter cover has a name, you help me~ help me send it, you can't show it to the third master, and you can't show it to Ting Zhi." Jiang Er listened, glanced at Chang Tingzhi next to him, and was slightly embarrassed, but still agreed.
Chang Abacus pointed at Chang Tingzhi again, signaling Chang Tingzhi to come over, Chang Tingzhi hurriedly went over and knelt down, took over Jiang Er's support, and said, "Master, you said, I am Tingzhi, I am." Chang Abacus didn't say anything to Chang Tingzhi, but just looked at Jiang Er and said, "Erxing, you go out first, I~ I have something to say to Tingzhi." Jiang Er understood that this was Chang Abacus's will for his son, so he hurriedly called Dalin out of the door together, and stood with a few descendants guarding the door, with mixed feelings in his heart, not a taste. After about three or four minutes, Jiang Er heard someone shouting at the bottom of the stairs: "Fuck the grass, what are you singing? Jiang Er listened to the voice, knowing that it was the third master coming, and after a while, he listened to the chaos below, and then the sound of someone pedaling up the stairs, Jiang Er hurriedly took a few steps down, and saw that it was really Qiao Sanye, Jiang Er was about to say a word to Qiao Sanye, and suddenly listened to Chang Tingzhi in the room and shouted heartbreakingly: "Dad~~~!"
Jiang Er was stunned when he heard this, and Qiao Sanye at the bottom of the stairs also heard it, and instantly understood what was going on, staggered, and shouted loudly: "Old man, old man, Lord is here, wait for Master." "Pedaling, pedaling, even running and crawling up, Jiang Er also hurriedly made way for Qiao Sanye, let Qiao Sanye go first, and waited for Qiao Sanye to enter the house, and then hurriedly followed.
At this time, Chang Abacus was already lifeless, and Chang Tingzhi was choked up and couldn't cry, muttering: "You are my father, I am your son." Qiao Sanye lost his former majesty, looked at the abacus on the bed with a little sadness, and said tremblingly: "Old man, why don't you wait for the master, let's talk about the last sentence?"
Jiang Er looked at the scene, and couldn't help but feel sad, although he had only known Chang Abacus for two or three years, but Chang Abacus was able to entrust himself with his deathbed, which was to treat himself as a relative, and with this trust, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is already unusual. Jiang Er turned around and beckoned Dalin to go back to the store first, waiting for his letter, while he walked slowly to the house, and when he arrived at the bedside, he reached out and touched Chang Abacus's wrist, which was indeed without a pulse, and shook his head at Qiao Sanye, who was looking at him with grief, meaning that he was not saved when he left. When Qiao Sanye saw it, he was even more sad, and couldn't help but move to the side of the bed, to see the remains of Chang Abacus, Jiang Er didn't carry anyone behind his back, let Qiao Sanye go, and began to rummage through the bookcase, looking for what Chang Abacus entrusted to him. After a while, he found three letters in the cracks of the book, and Jiang Er didn't look carefully at what was written on the envelope, he put them in his coat pocket first, and waited to go back and take a closer look.
Jiang Er got the letter, turned around and leaned down, supported the grieving Qiao Sanye, and said with relief: "Third Master, your mourning is smooth, Chang Ye left peacefully, and he didn't suffer, let's take care of the future." ”
Qiao Sanye listened, restrained his convulsions and choked, began to sigh, and with Jiang Er's support, he got up and staggered out of the house, and said to Jiang Er: "Lord and Lao Chang have been getting along for almost ten years, Lao Chang is worried about his temper and everything, and now he is gone, he has to take care of Lao Chang's future affairs."
It's Erxing, you can buy this, don't save money for the master, what's the scenery. ”
Jiang Er listened, frowned, and said to the third master of the bridge: "Third master, won't Chang Ye go back to his ancestral hometown? Jiang Er listened, nodded, the fallen leaves returned to the roots, and now he can only do what Qiao Sanye said, and send Lao Chang (handle the aftermath) before .......
In the next few days, Jiang Er did his best to recruit the aftermath of Chang Abacus, and Nancheng "often came and went to the tea house" The stage set up at the entrance of the store, the big drama gathered all over the world sang to the spirit shed for three days and three nights, Chang Abacus was low-key during his lifetime, and did not make many friends, only a few people around Qiao Sanye in Yunshan County, but there were a lot of wreaths, most of them were offered by the children of the Green Forest Gate, Du Hai Cow of North Zhuangzi Street also came to pay tribute for three consecutive days, and even Jiang Er wanted to see the sloppy Taoist who had never seen it, and he also came to take a look, and in the spirit shed of Chang Abacus, around the coffin of Chang Abacus, he sang the Qingping tune Quartet. What made Jiang Er puzzled was that Qiao Sanchun actually asked Yingzi, the fourth female jelly shop, to tie a white filial piety belt, and list it behind Chang Tingzhi, and keep filial piety for Chang Abacus together.
Waiting for the day of Chang Abacus, at three o'clock in the morning, from Nancheng to the Imperial Cemetery more than ten miles away, the seven-foot-three coffin was filled with sacrificial objects, and then put on the coffin, eight people set up a single dragon pole to lift, Qiao Sanye hired more than 20 strong offspring, divided into three teams to take turns to carry, walk a mile for a team, by the way, put a burst of artillery battles, has been walking, the sky is not bright, no sun sent to the Imperial Cemetery, cremated and stored in the Imperial Cemetery. The reason why Qiao Sanchun did not find a cemetery for Chang Abacus was because when he was dying, he gave an explanation to Chang Tingzhi and asked him to leave it in the cemetery, waiting for one day, someone would naturally come to take the ashes away.
After all the things were taken care of, Qiao Sanye handed over the "often coming and going to the tea house" to Chang Tingzhi, the apprentice of Chang Abacus, and the aftermath of Chang Abacus was also over, in the office of the tea house, Qiao Sanye told Jiang Er that he would come to the four women's cold powder shop tomorrow and settle the money for this business. Jiang Er was not in a hurry, said goodbye to Qiao Sanye and Chang Tingzhi, and returned to his Fuxing Residence. After four or five busy days, Jiang Er temporarily forgot the friendship between Chang Abacus and himself in the past, and also forgot the grief, and when he was done, he sat down in the bedroom, and then remembered the situation of Chang Abacus on weekdays, and he came here to chat and give guidance on weekdays, and unconsciously grieved again, stood up and turned out Chang Abacus from his toolkit, turned out Chang Abacus that day, explained his three letters, and returned to bed to watch.
What kind of letterhead can't be handed over to his old buddy Qiao Sanye and his apprentice Chang Tingzhi, but he has to hand it over to himself, an "outsider" who has not known each other for a long time? Jiang Er picked up three letters, and looked at them carefully, the first letter without a stamp was actually sent to Du Hai Manatee, who sold mutton on Beizhuangzi Street. The second is a stamped letter sent to a certain Zhuangzi in Baoding, Hebei Province to urge big flowers. The third letter was slightly thick, but it was not sealed, and only the words "Erxing Qinkai" were written on the letter, and there was nothing else, Jiang Er was a little puzzled, thinking in his heart, "Why do you still have your own business here?" without much thought, he opened the envelope, snapped from the inside, and fell out of a slightly smaller sealed letter, and a folded letterhead, Jiang Er first picked up the sealed letter and looked back and forth, but there was nothing written on either side. So he unfolded the folded letterhead:
"Hello Brother Erxing:
Although the two of us are different in age, but in terms of friendship, it can be regarded as the turn of previous years, here I will call myself my brother, you call me Uncle Chang every day, I am quite outside.
Alas, the day has finally arrived
Last year, I was found to have a cerebral infarction and a nausea tumor, and the doctor told me to raise it for three or five years, and if I don't raise it well, it will only be a year or two, so I began to prepare for my own future, thinking about it, this matter is the most appropriate for you to do, not for anything else, you have a strict mouth, and there is still a hard strength in your heart, and I am more relieved than to hand it over to Tingzhi. I did it for my brother, and my brother was relieved.
The letter urging Dahua and Du Hainiu, you sent it for the elder brother, only this letter that was not written, you have to treat it as a secret and keep it for the elder brother, waiting for the day when the third master is lonely, or waiting for the third master...... Wait for the third master to follow in the footsteps of the elder brother, and then hand it over to the third master, don't think about why, you can't think of it.
Although the third master is making a living as a bastard, but he is not bad, and there is good in his heart, but you can't see it, Erxing, it is an old brother begging you for something, if you can help the third master, you can help it once, this matter has nothing to do with the good and evil of human nature, just for the integrity of human nature, if the third master has this breath in his heart, it is estimated that he can live a few more years!
Okay, don't say a lot of words, don't feel sorry for my brother, my brother lived in grudges for the first half of his life, although it was a little late to understand, he finally understood it, he didn't live confused, he didn't live wronged, and his brother cherished it.
By the way, you have asked my brother's name several times, but my brother didn't tell you, it is estimated that the tablet you wrote to my brother is Chang Jinshan, hahahaha, alas, my brother has deceived people all his life, and now my brother can't lie to you anymore, my brother's name is Du Yinghua, don't remember that my brother only tells you one person, don't tell others, especially the third master. "The letterhead is over here, and there is not even a payment and a date. Although the letterhead was written wittily, Jiang Er couldn't help but cry when he saw it, listening to the phone ringing in the outer hall, and after a while, he listened to the gradual footsteps, and quickly wiped away his tears, and sure enough, Bai Ying walked in after a while, and saw Jiang Er's red eyes, and understood that Ergang had just broken his heart, and changed his previous resoluteness, and whispered to Jiang Er: "Ergang, the owner of the paper shop just called, and said to come over to settle the bill immediately, do you want to clean it up and check the accounts in a while?"
Jiang Er heard this and hurriedly put away the three letters, thinking that in the future, the boss would often come and go, deal with each other, and prepare to get out of bed, Bai Ying looked at Jiang Er, who was going to go out for a while, and hurriedly went to the bathroom to wring out the wet towel and handed it to Jiang Er, Jiang Er took the towel and rubbed his face, and asked Bai Ying: "Dalin hasn't come back yet?"
Bai Ying nodded and hummed, and said with a complaining spirit: "Well, I went to Sandaopo, and I talked to Jiajie about the remuneration of the big drama in the past few days, and Jiajie too, I can't come by myself, I have to let Dalin run." ”
Jiang Er smiled and said: "It's not about Jiajie, it's Dalin who thinks about Erlin, and Gang wants to call Jiajie, but Dalin doesn't let him fight." Bai Ying picked up Jiang Er's coat and put it on for Jiang Er, and said with a sigh in her mouth: "Oh, Erlin is really, Ergang has been hurting Erlin for so many years, and if you don't follow Ergang, you have to stay in Sandaopo and stay with a group of children." ”
Jiang Er put on his coat, put the letter that he had just put together in his hand, opened the filing cabinet, put it in the place that he thought was secret, and said to Bai Ying: "Erlin is also a child, with the children, there are tricks, of course it is better than staying by the side of the post, besides, Jiajie has a gentle temperament and is easy to be squeezed by others, with Erlin, the Erking Kong, by his side, he is not bullied, so it is good to stay there." ”
Bai Ying listened, didn't speak, went out to prepare hot water, and waited for a while for the owner of the paper shop to come to entertain, Jiang Er also went out of the outer hall, turned on the TV in the outer hall, and waited for a guest ...... for a while.
