"Who's that guy?" I asked about the man who reported the funeral, which I didn't seem to have seen before.
"Zhang Dachun, old Shen's hometown. The second uncle said.
"This old Shen is a hard-working man!" sighed grandmother
"It's really not a thing, I'm embarrassed to come to report the funeral, the ugly thing between him and the mother-in-law is well known, I wish Lao Shen died early. Mother said.
I only then knew, about a year ago, Lao Shen went to his brother-in-law in the city to watch the field to help, this Zhang Dachun hooked up with Lao Shen's wife, at first it was always at night, sneaky, and later came to see that Lao Shen was not there all the year round, it was by going to Lao Shen's house to help the reason, the two were blatantly stealing, even to the point of eating and living in Lao Shen's house, at first Lao Shen didn't know, in order to make some money, the first half of the year in the city to help his brother-in-law watch the field work did not come back, and then most of them heard some rumors, to the second half of the year to come back more frequently, not long ago August 15 when I came back, and his mother-in-law had a big quarrel, to the point of killing people with a knife, I didn't think about going to the city just now, I couldn't think about it for a few days, but I hanged myself first, his son will still work hard in the coal mine, and I don't know that Lao Shen has happened.
This Da Chun has another nickname called Da Chunzi, looking honest, or a big stammer, although I don't know this person, but when it comes to his nickname, I have also heard of it.
Da Chunzi was a lack of virtue in his early years, he specially seduced the daughter-in-law of acquaintances in the township, and then abducted and sold, he was rich and generous in his early years is this reason, there are honest farmers who went out to find the abducted daughter-in-law, and they didn't find it for a few years, and then they died, and when the town police station found the township to take someone to identify the body, they learned that their wife was abducted by Da Chunzi to the city to sell in a small hair salon and the black market, the police followed the vine and found other women who were abducted by Da Chunzi, and they also did a leather and meat business in the dirty alleys and small hair salons, standing on the street to solicit customers, five yuan at a time, they made money, and they were willing to hand it over to Da Chunzi for him to squander, even if he was caught, he had to follow Da Chunzi, and he didn't want to go back.
Da Chunzi according to how much they pay every day every month, to their status divided into three, six, nine and so on, who pays more money can get Da Chunzi's favor, some in order to pay more money to compete for favor, one or two yuan at a time, if it is not out of that life, I am afraid that no one knows that this Da Chunzi turned out to be such a lack of virtue and black heart of the dog thing, but those mothers-in-law are voluntary, others will not say much about him, although the person was not killed by him, but he also sat on the labor camp for four years, it is said that after coming out, he has changed his mind, and he does not want to harm Lao Shen again this timeγ
And Lao Shen is indeed a hard-working person, his parents died early, he was the third in the family, he was too honest, he was beaten by two brothers when he split the family, and he lived in a cattle pen and shack, and the two brothers were conscripted into the battlefield before they got married, and died in Vietnam, and relied on selling some grain for a few dollars, and bought some belongings at home, so that it was finally decent.
But Lao Shen still has a problem, stuttering little, not very good at talking, in his thirties, the matchmaker invited a lot, or a single, and later by someone as a matchmaker, he married his mother-in-law of a dead man, all said that this mother-in-law is Kefu's broom star, but where does Lao Shen dare to dislike, he is very grateful to the matchmaker, the second year this mother-in-law gave birth to a pair of twin daughters to Lao Shen, and gave birth to a son in the third year, Lao Shen is overjoyed, and the days are getting better and better.
But when his son was seven years old, he went to school with his two sisters, because of a little quarrel, there was a conflict with everyone, and the two sisters were hit in the head with two blue stones the size of a bowl in order to protect him, and the twins died on the spot.
But Lao Shen still has a son, no, this matter did not have a big impact on his family, but a few years ago, Lao Shen's brother-in-law has brains, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, Lao Shen followed the light, helped his brother-in-law work to earn some money, bought a house in the bay, moved from the mountains to the side of the national highway, and traveled extremely conveniently, in the past two years, he has worked hard with his brother-in-law, in order to renovate the house into a red brick house, so that his son can get married early, but he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen.
"Everyone has a destiny, God is destined for it, this is destiny!" I sighed and said, "Bitter people suffer hardships." β
The second uncle said, "You kid is quite understanding." β
"I realized it so deeply. I'm also a miserable life. β
"Isn't it just this little thing about demobilization in the army, look at what your kid said, it's someone who wants to harm you, find out in the future, and take revenge, it's really your kid who overturned in the gutter that he said, and he can't get up for ten thousand years." The eldest husband can bend and stretch, you don't have to care too much, maybe the army is not suitable for you at all, if you dare to slump, don't blame the second uncle for looking down on you. β
"That's what your second uncle said. Grandmother and mother laughed, and Qiao Maizi laughed too.
I nodded.
The second uncle continued: "If you want to say that the fate is determined, you are still young, and you have such a great opportunity as the true legend of the master, the fate of the fate can be broken, and the fate is always only said to the weak, and the strong can change their lives against the sky." β
"Well said, second uncle, quite knowledgeable, now. "I hurriedly said to the second uncle.
"How else to say that the master is powerful, do you think that following the master all these years is a fool!"
After the meal, the second uncle went to Lao Shen's house and said that he would go and see the situation, since he had been invited, he should prepare early, and his mother and grandmother would be busy, so he would leave me and Qiao Maizi.
Qiao Mai is one year younger than me, eighteen years old this year, beautiful and good-looking in life, with two big black braids, eyes bright and bright, compared to three years ago when I went to the army, a little more shy, but more delicate, I really like it, when his grandfather was a stubborn old man when he was alive, he didn't beat the two of us with mandarin ducks, always on guard everywhere, afraid that I would take advantage of Qiao Maizi, but in fact I didn't know that I had already taken off Qiao Maizi's pants.
Qiao Maizi and I sat at my house and chatted for an afternoon, talking more about me and the army, as well as her high school in the county, she later persuaded me to recover from the army now, and simply go to the university entrance examination, I said that I didn't even go to high school, how to take the exam, she said that I asked me to study on my own, and mentioned that she was going to take the college entrance examination next year, go to college in the provincial capital, and asked me to go with her, she could help me, and when the time came, I would go to a teaching class or correspondence class or something, I promised her to pull the hook and say okay.
After dinner, it was dark early, I said to go to Lao Shen's house to have a look, join in the fun, my mother said okay, asked me to go and see how many nights, when the funeral will start, so as to prepare the things to be sent in advance, I promised to say yes.
About ten minutes away, when I arrived at Lao Shen's house, a tent of colored striped cloth had been set up outside the house, a charcoal fire was lit, several old people were chatting around the brazier, and the spiritual seat and coffin had been placed in the hall.
I greeted a few old people from my grandfather's generation, and went straight to the spiritual house where the second uncle was sitting, and the second uncle had already guessed my intention and said that I knew that your kid would definitely come, and after writing the last talisman, he motioned for me to go with him.
"Do you know I'm mainly here for you?" I asked the second uncle.
"How can I not know how many intestines you have in your stomach, do you think, the words that the master left you through the calamity will be Lao Shen's death. β
The second uncle really guessed it, and I said, "I just thought about it for a while, and it is unfounded to think about it." β
"You kid, you're just too impatient. β
"How's it going?" I asked about Lao Shen's funeral.
"It's not a step-by-step affair. The second uncle paused, and then said, "But there is something strange. β
"What's the matter?"
"Lao Shen hanged himself. β
"What's so strange about this?"
"It seems that I heard that it was a locust tree that hanged himself by hanging. β
"What? β
"Yes, it's the locust tree. But I'm not sure yet, and I'll have to wait until noon the day after tomorrow when I send the corpse back, and then I can't find out if I ask. If it's really a locust tree, it's very likely......"
