1081, the aftermath
Mu Yan's old lady hugged the tablet of her son and daughter-in-law and cried, and the women also cried, Mu Yin was surrounded in the middle, being kissed by this for a while, and being hugged by that for a while, panicked and overwhelmed.
Li He wanted to go over to persuade him, but he was pulled to the fire pond house by Mu Yin's grandfather Yang Gaixin, "Let's eat something and go with them." ”
He poured Li He's bowl full of grain wine, touched it, and without waiting for Li He to react, he put a bowl on his stomach, and then wiped his uncontrollable tears.
"Drink slowly. Li He opened his mouth and throat, and he also dried a bowl, and his throat was hot and painful.
"I'm sorry, choked on my throat. Yang Gaixin wiped away his tears and continued, "You are polite, eat when you should eat, and drink when you should drink." ”
"Here, another bowl. Li He stretched out the bowl and took another bowl of wine.
The fire pit on the ground burned very strongly, the chopping wood crackled inside, and after a while, there was a puff of smoke, coupled with the smell of bacon hanging on it, he couldn't stand it, he got up and opened a window, and the cold wind poured in, which made him feel better, "The house is a little stuffy, open the window to breathe." ”
Murray saw Li He's embarrassment, got up and opened the door, and said with a smile, "We are all used to it, it's cold and warm, and by the way, you can make some bacon, you can taste it and see how it tastes." ”
"Thanks, that's good. "For bacon, Li He likes it more, but he is not in much mood to eat it at the moment.
I ate some wine indiscriminately, picked up a bowl of rice, and rested all night, and I could faintly hear the uninterrupted crying in my sleep.
In the early morning, the misty village is so quiet, with a winding mountain road, a quaint stone arch bridge, and a vicissitudes of life, but Li He can't feel a trace of popularity.
This is a village where Miao, Tu, Han and Dong live together, and the Mu family is one of the few Han families here, if Li He hadn't seen Yang Ling's passport and identity documents when he was packing up Yang Ling's relics, he would never have thought that the big-eyed Yang Ling was a Tujia girl.
"The young people have all gone out and gone to work in eastern Guangdong, and the rest are the old and the young. Murray appeared behind Li He to explain his confusion, "However, the Spring Festival will be soon, and the Spring Festival will be a little more lively." ”
"It's pretty much the same everywhere, there are few young people. Li He understood this, and then asked, "The child doesn't make trouble, right?"
When he got up in the morning, he hadn't seen Mu Yin yet.
Murray said, "It's okay, this will probably be asleep, his grandmother has been to take her for a while, although I haven't seen her for two years, but I still recognize her, you don't have to worry too much about this." ”
"How's the old lady's health? Don't burn it out. When Li came in the morning, he found the old lady cooking porridge, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse, which was very worrying.
"Hey, I've cried when I'm supposed to cry, I guess it's okay. Murray threw Li He a cigarette, and then said, "My uncle left early, and my aunt took Ah Yan with one hand, and the days were very worrying, but there was no one more competitive than Ah Yan, a kid who was a hundred and ten miles left and right.
Hey, I just didn't expect that this day was not better for a few years, this kid would not think about it like this, you said, I have survived so difficult before, why is it that the days are good, and I turned around the corner. ”
"Who would have thought. Li He still can't let go, "Also, Ah Ling, we are in front of her, just to go to dinner, the matter of her heels, she is so stubborn." ”
Yang Gaixin came over here with his hands behind his back, hunched over with his family, and came over with a stack of clothes and firecrackers, and Murray helped pick up a little, "I'll get a shovel." ”
He meant to dig a pit and make a grave.
Yang Gaixin said, "The clothes are burned, let's set off a firecracker, the people are gone, and it's boring to do anything." ”
Li He followed them up the mountain, and after a while, a long line of people gathered behind them.
There was no fire in the forest, and they finally stopped on a slope where rice was grown, and the clothes of Mu Yan and Yang Ling were burned, and then two firecrackers were set off.
After the simple send-off ceremony, Yang Gaixin walked at the end, and Li He chatted with him.
Yang Gaixin said, "I'm sorry to trouble you." ”
Li He said, "Uncle, you don't have to be too sad, the most important thing in front of you is to take care of Mu Yin." ”
"It's also this girl's hard life, she hasn't had a good life since she was a child, this little bastard went to take the entrance examination, and before she entered the door, she was a mother to others, and he had a conscience, and he approached the city, and he wanted to live a good life for a few days, but now it's such a thing...."
The cold wind blew, Li He shivered, but he still felt hot all over, and he couldn't help but open his collar, and he didn't know what to say, just listening to Yang Gaixin there.
"Now the child, we can only rely on his milk, we can only pull it on the side, and we can't get out of it. Yang Gaixin stood up, rubbed his hand against his clothes, took off his hat and scratched his head, and continued, "Both of their brothers are working outside, leaving three boys and a girl, the older ones are all in high school, and the younger ones can't run, we take care of eating, drinking, and Lazar..."
He has his problems.
Li He said, "Uncle, I understand all this, if you can talk to the old aunt, I can take this child away, the conditions in the city are much better than at home." ”
"That's impossible, this child is her life now, take the child away, can she still live?" Yang Gaixin waved his hand and said, "You, don't think about it, just leave it at that, in the future, you uncles, if you have the heart and pull it, it will be worth this child to miss you for a lifetime." ”
Back at the Mu family, the old lady of the Mu family sat on the edge of the fire in a daze with Mu Yin in her arms, and Li He handed over a postal passbook.
"Auntie, this is the savings left by the two of them, you can take it, you can withdraw the money at the post office, and the password is Mu Yan's date of birth. ”
Although the passbook is Yang Ling's name, due to the implementation of the anonymous deposit and withdrawal system, no documents are required to withdraw money, as long as there is a passbook, you can withdraw money if you know the password.
"How much is this?" the old lady was illiterate, and her eyes were black when she opened the passbook.
Li He said, "This is 1.35 million, I'll let someone accompany you to the town later, and you can transfer the money to your name." ”
According to the old lady's saving nature, this money belongs to the series that cannot be spent in her lifetime, in case it will be troublesome to implement the real-name system later, and it is most appropriate to transfer it to the old lady's name first.
"That's a lot. The old lady was not very happy, but was visibly relieved that with so much money, it would not be too difficult for her to raise her grandson.
"Also, his father also left him two houses, one in China and one abroad, I made the decision on my own, these two houses will be rented out, and the monthly rent is estimated to be more than 10,000 yuan," Li He thought for a while, "When the time comes, the rent will be paid to your passbook regularly."
When the child grows up and can make his own decisions, let him take back these two houses and deal with them whatever he wants. ”
