There are no two masters, and Uncle Zhao's legal affairs are also handled by Xuanwei.

The next day happened to be a good day, and the weather was quite good, and under the farewell of his children and the villagers of Dashan Village, Uncle Zhao was buried in the ancestral grave of the Zhao family.

After all the trivial matters were done, the Zhao family finally had a moment to get together for dinner.

Zhao Mei waited beside the old lady and said to several brothers and sisters: "Speaking of which, since the eldest sister got married, our family hasn't had a reunion dinner, right?"

"Yes, so many years have passed unconsciously! At that time, you and your younger brother were still young, and they couldn't reach the dishes on the table when they sat on the chairs, and they were so anxious that they cried on the spot when they watched us pick up the rice hard, and then my father made two tall chairs for you!"

When they were packing up their belongings before, they found that the two chairs were still in the utility room, and although so many years had passed, the chairs had been so mothed that they could not sit on people, but the two old men were still reluctant to throw them away.

"When I was a child, I always thought that the chair was very high, and every time I had to step on the rungs to climb up, I just gestured, and it was less than waist height. The youngest son, Zhao Yang, said with a chuckle.

The eldest son Zhao Hao held a bowl of wine in his hand, touched it with the third son Zhao Kun, drank it and said: "Third brother, do you remember that once we secretly drank our father's wine, and we were beaten hard!"

"Isn't this to blame big brother, yourself? I said that everyone is only allowed to drink a bottle cap to taste the taste, but you were stunned to drink half a bowl, otherwise how could your father find out?" Zhao Kun's empty right sleeve was placed under the table, and he held the bowl in his left hand, not without remembrance.

The second daughter, Zhao Juan, put some vegetables in the old lady's bowl, hesitated for a while before she spoke: "Say something that is not very filial, I hope that it is my mother who dies first." My father has always been strong-boned, and I can rest assured that I can live alone, and no matter how bad I am, I can go to the homes of several of our children to help take care of the children. Mother, you have always relied on your father, but now it is your father who left first, you must take more care in the future!"

As she spoke, Zhao Juan's eyes were already red, and she sobbed in a low voice.

The old lady did not speak, but her eyes were fixed on the spiritual seat that had just been enshrined in the room.

After the family finished eating, several children asked for their farewell one after another.

"My daughter-in-law and I only took two days off, and if we rush back overnight today, I'm afraid that we will be scolded by the director!"

"Xin'er and I should also go back, and after we go back this time, we are ready to buy a house and get married. The youngest son, Zhao Yang, seems to be appeasing his impatient girlfriend and announcing that he is about to form a new family.

Several people congratulated one after another, and even the old lady also showed a little smile, muttering something in her mouth.

The two sons left with their families one after another, and the house was much empty.

"Second sister, it's almost time for us to go, just so we can be a companion on the way!" the eldest daughter Zhao Ping packed up the dishes and chopsticks and said to the second daughter Zhao Juan.

The latter thought of the accumulation of a lot of farm work at home, so he could only say apologetically to the old lady: "Mother, I will come to see you again after a while!"

A table full of people left only the old lady, Zhao Mei, Zhao Kun and the former second daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, Zhao Kun stood up, and looked at the old lady with a struggling and guilty look.

Without waiting for Zhao Kun to speak, Zhao Mei grabbed Zhao Kun's left hand and said deeply: "Third brother, stay!"

Zhao Kun grinned bitterly and said, "Little sister, I've been wandering for so many years, I'm used to it!"

"What do you mean to get used to it? Aren't you used to staying in Dashan Village? This is your home, and it is the root of your life for more than ten years! Third brother, stay, I don't want to see you again at my mother's funeral!" Zhao Mei said with a trembling voice and her eyes looking straight at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun's tears poured out uncontrollably, he held Zhao Mei's hand with his backhand, nodded heavily and said, "Third brother listen to you, I won't go back, stay and take care of my mother!"

After speaking, Zhao Kun came to Uncle Zhao's spiritual seat and knelt down, and bowed loudly: "Father, the son is not filial and has done so many foolish things! In the future, the son will take good care of his mother, please rest assured!"

The old lady, who had never shed tears, shed muddy tears at the moment, and whispered in her mouth: "You fool, how happy the old man should be when he came back earlier!

Zhao Mei wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at her former second sister-in-law and said, "Second sister-in-law, thank you for coming over this time!"

"Yes, your second brother treated me very well when he was alive, as well as my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but I owe a lot. If I don't come to see my father-in-law for the last time, I'm afraid that I won't be at ease in my heart!" the other party smiled gently.

When Zhao Mei heard this, she overturned the five-flavor bottle in her heart.

"Second sister-in-law, if you have something to do, go back first, while the sky is still bright, you still have to hurry. Zhao Mei said.

The other party shook his head, looked at the old lady and said, "It's rare to come back once, I want to talk to my mother-in-law for a while tonight, and wait until dawn tomorrow to hurry!"

"That's okay, second sister-in-law, you can sleep with me tonight, it just so happens that I have a lot of things I want to tell you!" Zhao Mei pursed her lips and pulled the other party and said.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but after tonight, the two were no longer a family, and they didn't know when they would meet again.

……

in the courtyard.

Jingjing kicked the stone with some low emotions, as if she was angry with the stone.

"Wang!"

Suddenly, a dog barked and startled Jingjing.

"Little Ash, you've scared this layman!" came a warm voice like jade, and the dog's barking was immediately calmed.

Jingjing looked up and saw that a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe in the courtyard was holding a wine gourd in his hand, and in front of the earth dog at his feet, there was also a porcelain bowl.

To be exact, an overturned porcelain bowl with a splendid liquor spilled on the floor.

"Ah, Daoist Xuanwei, I'm really sorry!" Jingjing immediately apologized.

Obviously, the stone she had just kicked out in anger knocked over the porcelain bowl of Little Ash, which caused it to cry out in dissatisfaction.

"It's just a bowl of wine, don't mind! But the layman seems to be a little depressed?" Xuan Wei poured another bowl of wine for Xiao Ash, and then asked Jingjing.

Jingjing nodded, sighed lightly, and said, "Daoist Xuanwei, I'm just a little dissatisfied with my uncle and aunts, they are also the children of my grandfather, why can this be?"

The little girl seemed to hold back for a long time, and then she said it all in one go.

Perhaps, what the little girl needs is not an answer, but such a catharsis.

Xuan Wei listened patiently and muttered for a long time, and then said slowly: "There are many disheartening things in this world. So, please don't be too discouraged. ”

It is the law of nature that spring grass sprouts, summer trees flourish, autumn leaves wither, and winter branches wither. Innocent in childhood, calm in adulthood, and twilight in old age, this is the law of life.

Life is endless, born to the sun.
