Zhao Jincheng came into the house, squatted in the corner, and covered his face with his hands. But tears passed through his fingers and fell down dripping.

Zhao Jincheng has basically determined that the second brother is really in trouble. Since his father-in-law fell ill, the second brother would come every two days, afraid that he needed help with something. It hasn't been here for four days.

I was also busy and confused, I always thought that the second brother was a mountain that would not fall, and I never thought that the second brother would have an accident. Let the second brother take care of everything, take it off by himself, and take it off cleanly. Just folded the second brother in.

Zhao Jincheng's mind is full of their three brothers, who were rescued home by their eldest brother, and then have been teased by their second brother and slowly grew up.

Until he was separated from his eldest brother, the second brother fled with him all the way to Wuhan. Now the second brother is gone, and even the second sister-in-law and Uncle Miao are gone

For forty years, the brothers have been walking hand in hand. In fact, it was the second brother who took care of him from the beginning, and then took care of his whole family. But now the second brother is gone.

Zhao Jincheng's sadness in hiding in the corner infected all the workers who came to visit Pei Qing, and couldn't help but praise the old Pei family for having a good son-in-law, a filial son-in-law.

Pei Qing is also very strange, yesterday Zhao Jincheng also persuaded her not to be too sad, to cheer up and do the aftermath, why is he hiding and crying now

Zhao Jincheng has no thinking now, and his whole person is immersed in memories and sadness. His hands had been lowered, but the tears in his eyes had not stopped. He had never been so sad, even when he was seven or eight years old, he watched his father die on the street, and there was not a single tear.

In Zhao Jincheng's mind, only the eldest brother and the second brother are his relatives. And at this time, he had the real grief of losing his loved ones.

"Zhao Jincheng, why are you so sad?" Pei Qing was no longer sad. As Zhao Jincheng said, my father and mother are seventy or eighty years old, and they can still walk together on the front and back feet, which is a joy and mourning.

The only regret is that I didn't see Ren Feng and Ren Rui before the time being, and the rest is really nothing. Even if you suffer when you are young, you will be blessed when you are old. It's the end of life. But this Zhao Jincheng cried endlessly

It's been a whole afternoon, Pei Qing has been entertaining guests, and he didn't care about Zhao Jincheng. But there is no one here, and there is no need for him to show his filial piety, why do you still look like you can't give up.

Pei Qing still woke up Zhao Jincheng and was busy all afternoon, and he didn't see him come over to socialize, so he stayed there in a daze.

Zhao Jincheng vaguely heard Pei Qing's shout, and slowly returned to his soul. Only then did I find out that this was not Tangshan, nor Jinan, nor the carriage where he fled with his second brother. This is Wuhan, my own home. Now my own family is also holding funerals.

"Oh, there's an accident at Teacher Pei Qingmiao's house. The family is gone, and they are killed. ”

"Ah, didn't Brother Feng come here a few days ago, how can you be so good, you were killed, Teacher Miao, woo woo, what a good person"

"You rest, I'll go out. Gotta help get them buried. This Feng Di is not here, and he doesn't even have a filial son. No one cares about the bones" As he spoke, Zhao Jincheng choked up.

Pei Qing has always been careless, and he didn't think about why Zhao Jincheng had such a deep feeling for Teacher Miao's family. Even deeper than his own father. She is also a little sad, and it seems that she is more sad than the death of her father. I agreed.

Feng Jinfei's body has been packed up in the morgue. Over the years, there have been a lot of such corpses that no one has cared for, and they are always transported over, and then they are counted and burned. No one cares at all.

Zhao Jincheng carried Feng Jinfei's corpse on his back, crying all the way, counting the experiences of the two of them from childhood to adulthood, and counting the second brother's own responsibility. also kept regretting with the second brother, regretting that he had never been responsible for things, had always relied on him, regretted that he could not know at the first time, and regretted that he failed to protect his sister-in-law.

The Miao family's old house has been turned upside down, and the home is in a mess. Fortunately, the animals have not lost their hearts and have not touched the bodies of Uncle Miao and sister-in-law.

Zhao Jincheng arranged the three corpses, placed them neatly in the hall, knelt there, and kowtowed

He didn't know what to say anymore, and it was useless to say anything.

Zhao Jincheng can't let the second brother's family have no place to be buried.

Zhao Jincheng changed into night clothes, and when he went out, he had already thought about all the actions tonight. Taking advantage of the night, I quietly touched the place where my father-in-law and mother-in-law made a coffin.

"Who"

"I have a business"

"Sorry, we don't do business. If you have something to do, ask the commune to apply to the Civil Affairs Bureau. ”

"Ming people don't say secret words, and they know that you are an old businessman. You're sure to have it in stock, so it's convenient for you. Brother, I'll give the yellow croaker."

"Excuse me, comrade. We are not in business, please apply through the commune."

The other party has been biting and not doing business. But when Zhao Jincheng came that day, he chatted and knew that the family was a veteran craftsman. However, after the liberation, it was a public-private partnership, and all work was managed by the Civil Affairs Bureau. Coupled with the current situation, he didn't dare to say yes at all, for fear that he would be greedy for a little money and put the whole family in. Zhao Jincheng understands. But he had to get a coffin for the second brother's family, and he couldn't bury it hastily like that.

"Dingdong" Zhao Jincheng took out a piece of yellow croaker from his night clothes and threw it on the ground first.

"Privately storing yellow goods will not be more than you put a few inventory crimes, little boss, you can rest assured, I am definitely really asking for your door, don't worry about leaking the wind, I will also give you a bottom." I lost my life due to criticism, otherwise there is no need to disturb you in the middle of the night."

After saying this, Zhao Jincheng didn't speak again, but went directly from the bedroom to the hall. Then just sit there and wait.

He was patient, and one night he didn't mind holding his family hostage, and they released three coffins.

Si Suo's voice ended. Father and son came out of the back room.

"Friend, we don't dare to do it these years, so you should find another home," the older one said again.

"Ding Dong" Zhao Jincheng threw out another piece of yellow croaker.

"Nanmu's, three. Tomorrow night to the foot of Kameyama Mountain. Blow three whistles, and you're gone. ”

"What kind of food just needs to be sent to Kameyama"

"Two men, one woman. A coffin, others"

"Inventory is all longevity coffins"

"Then they will all be sent to the foot of Guishan Mountain in a coffin. If you blow the whistle, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"It's a yellow croaker or two. Pay as you go"

Zhao Jincheng took out four more yellow croakers, a total of six yellow croakers, almost all of his savings. When the RMB was exchanged, the second brother took it away, and later returned it to him. He doesn't care about these things at this time, he just hopes to do more to make himself feel less guilty and less uncomfortable.

After Zhao Jincheng came out of the coffin house, he returned to the Miao family's old house again. Loot some clothes from the unseemly house that had been churning, and help the three of them put them on one by one.

He didn't know if anyone else would come tossing tomorrow, and he was worried that the bones of the three would be insulted. That night, Zhao Jincheng made two trips and sent the bodies of the three to Guishan.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhao Jincheng spent two days to make three graves by himself. It took another half night to bury all three of them.
