Chapter 219: Returning Home (5)
"Your uncle, Tieqiao is definitely wronged, don't think I don't know!" Qi Lei glared at Song Jiacai and said, "Warn you again, if you dare to treat Tieqiao badly in the future, I won't spare you!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Lei, don't worry, I'm good for Tieqiao. She likes to eat fish, and I steal ...... every day No, I raise fish for her every day!" Song Jiacai said with a smile.
Qi Lei and Zhenhua had a drink, looked at the child in Tieqiao's arms, and asked, "Has the son been named, what is his name?"
The old master said that the child was short of gold in the five elements, so he named him Song Lixin, the three golden characters of Xin, and the nickname Jinshan. I hope he will make a fortune in the future, and his family will have mountains of gold and silver, and don't be as poor as his son. Song Rengui said happily.
Qi Lei nodded: "Okay, that's a good name." Come, drink and drink. ”
The name chosen by the old master, if it doesn't work, it's okay.
Song Jiacai waited cautiously, pouring wine and toasting Zhenhua and Qi Lei.
However, Song Jiacai is also a drunkard, and he was cautious at first, and when he drank half a catty, his original form was revealed, and he bared his teeth and smiled: "Brother Lei, Xiulian is dead, you and Zhenhua are so sad...... Everyone in the village said that the two of you had been in love with Xiulian before, didn't you?"
"Put your mother's fart, and take your father to smell it!" Qi Lei was furious, slapped the table, pointed at Song Jiacai and scolded: "You turtle grandson remember for me, Xiulian is my sister and Zhenhua's own sister, you dare to chew the root of your tongue in the future, beware of me breaking your dog teeth!"
Zhenhua also glared angrily at Song Jiacai.
Song Jiacai was so frightened that he woke up, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I won't dare to talk nonsense in the future......"
Lao Mazi also stood up to toast and apologize to Qi Lei and Zhenhua.
Tieqiao was indifferent, completely ignoring the scene in front of him, and continued to drink and eat.
Zhenhua was not happy, hurriedly ate a bowl of rice, wiped his mouth and stopped eating.
Qi Lei stopped drinking, ate a bowl of rice, borrowed a bucket from the Song family, and went with Zhenhua to water the flowers and trees.
The two came to Xiulian's resting place again, were silent for a long time, and went to the river to fetch water and water the trees.
Zhenhua picked two loads of water, and Qi Lei also picked two loads.
Tang Quan's father, Tang Wende, happened to pass by here and asked, "Qi Lei, why did you plant a tree here?
"No, don't harvest crops every year, just plant a few trees. Qi Lei said.
Tang Wende didn't understand it very much, and frowned: "But what's the use of planting these trees?
Qi Lei rolled his eyes: "Why do you want to sell for money? I'm not short of money." I just raise some flowers and trees to make them look good. ”
"That's, that's. Tang Wende smiled, nodded and left.
His son Tang Quan followed Qi Lei to work, so naturally he didn't dare to offend Qi Lei. Besides, Qi Lei planted trees in his own slope, and it has nothing to do with others. Each person has his own one-third of an acre of land, and it is up to him to plant trees or crops.
A load of water was poured under each tree, and Zhenhua and Qi Lei left silently.
There are no impermeable walls.
Zhenhua and Qi Lei's strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the villagers in Dongwan Village. After thinking about it, everyone probably guessed that these four flower trees were related to Xiulian.
In the afternoon of the same day, various discussions spread in Dongwan Village.
Some people say that Zhenhua and Qi Lei buried Xiulian's clothes on that sloping land, and made a tomb for Xiulian like the ancients; some people say that Zhenhua and Qi Lei buried the harmonica and a book that Xiulian was holding when she was dying; some people say that Qi Lei stole a handful of Xiulian's ashes and buried them under the gardenia tree, and secretly invited monks and Taoists to make a "conjuring funeral" for Xiulian.
Some people even talked about it, saying that Xiulian died sideways, but she was afraid that the ghost would not go away, and Dongwan Village would definitely not be peaceful in the future.
However, everyone was just talking, and no one dared to dig up the land to see what was going on.
Everyone knows that Qi Lei is not easy to mess with, and they are afraid that if they dig that piece of land, Xiulian will find trouble for themselves.
Zhao Chenghai was so angry that he was full of smoke, and that night, he questioned his son again and asked him what he had done.
Zhenhua pretended to be confused and said, "What did I do? Qi Lei wants to plant a few flowers and trees, I'll just go and help." ”
Qi Lei also dealt with his mother in this way: "What? Zhenhua gave me a thousand yuan, contracted my family's land, and planted a few flowers and trees for fun, isn't it?"
Zhao Chenghai and Lan Yuzhi each had nothing to do with their sons, one scolded at home and the other cried at home.
Zhenhua regarded his father's angry scolding as the wind in his ears, and even directly regarded his father as a transparent person, turning a blind eye, no matter how he cursed, he just didn't say anything.
On the third day of Xiulian's burial, which happened to be Sunday, Zhenhua rode a bicycle to Zhuo Daying to pick up Yilan and come back.
Yilan stayed at her mother's house for two days, and when she saw Zhenhua coming, she looked as usual, not angry or angry.
And Yilan is very stable, this time when she went home, she didn't mention Xiulian to her parents at all, only said that it was okay at home, and she would come back for two days.
Lao Zhuo and his wife didn't know the reason why Yilan went home at all, and they were still the same polite to Zhenhua, buying meat and killing chickens, and burning a table full of dishes to entertain him.
Zhenhua was very moved and guilty, and toasted to his father-in-law and mother-in-law again and again.
After lunch, Yilan called Zhenhua into the room and asked, "Have you taken care of Xiulian's affairs?"
Zhenhua nodded: "It's all dealt with, it was cremated the day before yesterday." ”
Yilan looked at Zhenhua's expression and said slowly: "Is this the end?Is there anything else?If there are other things, don't hide it from me." ”
Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "I said it, I don't know if you will blame me...... Qi Lei took out Xiulian's ashes and buried them secretly in his family's field. I was there the whole time, and we were still in the field, planting four gardenia trees...... Only Qi Lei and I know about this. Now, you're the third one to know. ”
Yilan was taken aback, frowned, and said, "You are so bold...... In this way, Xiulian's parents, as well as her in-laws, will not trouble you when they know about it in the future?"
"They won't be looking for trouble, but there is a lot of talk in the village. Although none of us said anything, yesterday we planted trees in that field, and the villagers also guessed a rough idea. Zhenhua said.
Yilan sighed and was silent.
Zhenhua apologized to Yilan: "I know that Qi Lei and I did this, and we couldn't get everyone's understanding. However, we and Xiulian ...... I said it when I kowtowed, and I will be brothers and sisters for life in the future. Xiulian was dying, and she also entrusted her last wish to me and Qi Lei. If Qi Lei and I can't help Xiulian fulfill her last wish, I'm afraid that in this life, we will be uneasy. ”
Yilan thought about it and inquired about the details of the burial of Xiulian's ashes.
Zhenhua did not hide it and told the truth.
Yilan rubbed her temples and said with a wry smile: "Zhenhua, I feel that in this matter, you and Qi Lei did something wrong." ”
