16. Vigil

Liu Jiawei took out his car keys and staggered to go out.

He Zhou stopped him, "Why are you doing this, you still want to drive? I'll go back first, you don't need to go back immediately, sleep with me, and leave tomorrow morning." ”

Both of them are drunk, and they are already drunk driving, not to mention that driving is even more dangerous in this cold and snowy place.

Liu Jiawei's eyes were red and he said, "Then what should you do? ”

He Zhou said while getting dressed, "My mother asked the driver to come over, and he will be there soon." ”

He has a full-time driver at home, but he rarely uses it, and his wife drives herself most of the time, and only takes the driver on occasional business trips or special occasions.

Liu Jiawei shook his head, "Pull it down, then I will definitely go back with you and go home to sleep." ”

As soon as the words fell, a car horn sounded outside.

"Then let's go. He Zhou pushed Liu Jiawei out of the door, turned off the lights, and locked the door.

A black car was parked at the door, its headlights flashing non-stop, and a short man stood next to it, and as soon as he saw the two of them coming out, he took the initiative to open the door.

He Zhou said apologetically, "Uncle Jiang, I'm bothering you so late." ”

The driver's name is Jiang Kun,

"It's my job. Jiang Kun smiled indifferently.

The car drove unhurriedly, and He Zhou fell asleep directly in the car.

When I got home, I was woken up by the driver.

At the door of He Weibao's house, there were people standing inside and out, and the lights were bright.

He entered the house, the house was very quiet, He Weibao lay on the bed, motionless, let the family change his life clothes, like the family, choked back tears, did not cry.

He loves his mother, his grandfather, and his second grandfather.

He grew up listening to the stories of his second grandfather, who didn't read much, but his lifelong experience was quite legendary.

The second grandfather spoke in a very flat tone, telling him plainly, he listened carefully, and had a different understanding of history.

The magnificent historical picture scroll is composed of the joys and sorrows of countless little people.

He was still in a daze, and Li Zhaokun stuffed him with a list.

"If you should buy it, hurry up and buy it, and let your uncle drive the tractor. ”

"Hey, I see. He Zhou took the list and saw that it was all some things to buy for funerals.

The funeral of the He family naturally needs the men of the He family to handle it, but the second grandfather is gone, He Manjun has not rushed back, his grandfather He Laoxi is old, the aisles are difficult, and the uncle is not angry, so this kind of thing naturally falls on him.

"The money is in it, how much to keep an account," Zhao Di handed him a leather bag, "Just tired for a few days, don't be lazy." ”

"Good. He Zhou nodded in response.

Liu Dazhuang drove the tractor and rumbled over, and Liu Jiawei squatted in it with a grudge on his face, obviously reluctant to follow.

He Zhou didn't hesitate, he got into the car, and as soon as he got up, he found that Liu Laosi and Liu Shanye also followed into the car.

As soon as their tractor left the village, Li Long also drove the tractor to catch up, and Pan Guangcai and Li Pei were squatting behind them.

When he arrived in the town, except that the street lights were on and it was pitch black, He Zhou was still worried about whether the store and the shroud shop would open, but after arriving at the place, he found that he was worried in vain, the store door had already opened, but only these two were open.

He was about to go over and hand over the purchase order to the boss, who knew that Liu Daqiang waved his hand, pointed to the thing at the door and said, "Move it to the car." ”

Then he, Li Pei and others began to hum and hum to carry beer, cigarettes, liquor, fruits, mung bean balls, paper money, firecrackers and other things to the car.

"They'll be blessed. Liu Shan snorted angrily while moving and looked at the old man, who was sitting comfortably in the store drinking tea with the boss.

Li Pei smiled and said, "If you're not convinced, you can say it." ”

Liu Shan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

After the miscellaneous moves, Pan Guangcai counted them, and asked He Zhou to go over to give money, from beginning to end, there was no need for He Zhou to say a word.

"You can't even drive a tractor. Da Zhuang shook the tractor and cursed.

Li Pei smiled and said, "Uncle, if you dare to sit on it, I will dare to show you now." ”

Da Zhuang said angrily, "Get out of the calf, hurry up, I still want to live a few more years." ”

The tractor then stopped at the door of the shroud shop, and this time there was no need to say anything, He Zhou and the others took the initiative to move things.

Pan Guangcai greeted him, and Pan Guangcai said that he would go home, and He Zhou couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I didn't buy pork, chicken, duck and vegetables." ”

Li Long said with a smile, "The market hasn't opened yet, I don't have land to buy it now, I've already given a call, go back and ask them to send it over, you can just give the money directly when the time comes." ”

"Got it. He Zhou was relieved.

When I got home, a big stove had been set up at the door, and the second grandfather had been carried to the hall, and at the door was a brazier, an old hen that had dried up its blood.

He drank a bowl of spicy soup on the big stove, put on filial piety clothes, sat cross-legged in the hall, as soon as there was a visitor, Li Zhaokun sang a salute, and he knelt down with He Manrong and his uncle and others.

At night, the vigil, He Yao couldn't stay up, he had already gone to sleep, anyway, he was just a nephew, if he didn't keep vigil, others couldn't say anything.

He Zhou felt sorry for He Manrong, who was exhausted, so he went over to comfort him, "Auntie, why don't you go and rest, I can be here alone." ”

He Manrong said, "How can you do it alone, aren't you afraid?"

"My second grandfather, what am I afraid of, I have always grown up with him. He Zhou said that he didn't care.

"Really?" He Manrong asked uncertainly.

"Of course. He Zhou stood up and pulled her up, "You just go into the front yard and rest for a while." ”

"Then I'll change you in the middle of the night. He Manrong went to rest at this time.

He Zhou was the only one left in the house for a while.

A cold wind blew in, and he shivered, and the fire in the brazier was swayed by the cold wind, and he suddenly felt a gloomy and sympathetic feeling.

He added some boiling water to his teacup and watched the news with his phone in his arms.

Drink the water cup after cup, and as the minutes passed, he got up and went outside to go to the bathroom.

A figure came from the corner, and if it weren't for the other party holding a flashlight, he would almost turn around and run away in fright.

"Hey, how can you mix up such a small guts?" Pan Ying's face gradually appeared under the light at the door.

"People are scary, they are scared to death. He Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're alone?" Pan Ying glanced towards the hall.

"Give me a flashlight. He Zhou ran to the toilet.

After putting the water out, he asked, "Why don't you sleep at night?"
