"Xiaoyan, help me wash the vegetables. Aunt Da Zhuang said, Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at her left wrist, smiled awkwardly, the tendons and veins on her left wrist were almost broken, and the control fingers were a little tired, and the fingers would be uncomfortable when they touched the cold water.

Aunt Da Zhuang saw that she was reluctant to take off her watch, and said with a smile that she didn't need to, Jiang Xiaoyan turned to stir-fry, her left hand hung down on her leg, she couldn't hold anything, and she couldn't even pick up the soy sauce bottle.

"Do you have a boyfriend now?" Aunt Da Zhuang asked her, and Jiang Xiaoyan knew that her mother was worried that her son would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, and she could understand.

"Well, yes, I've already met the parents. Jiang Xiaoyan squinted and laughed, his mind was full of Liu Nanfeng's appearance.

Uncle Da Zhuang came home just before dinner was about to open, and he wanted to be angry and say that he couldn't see Da Zhuang at the fish stall, and when he saw Jiang Xiaoyan, he immediately smiled, his cigarette teeth were yellow, but he was honest and simple.

A table of people was eating dinner with laughter and laughter, and Uncle Da Zhuang asked her what work she was doing.

"I used to do foreign trade in a small company, but now I have resigned, come back and see. ”

"What about your boyfriend?" When Aunt Da Zhuang heard that it was in a small company, she felt that there was a drama in her heart, and she held on to it.

"He just runs a small company, can support two people, and it's okay, saving money to buy a house. Jiang Xiaoyan smiled again, thinking only about how to get around her mother.

"Actually, I'm coming back to my mother. Jiang Xiaoyan wiped his mouth after eating, observed their faces, and opened his mouth, Aunt Da Zhuang and Uncle Da Zhuang glanced at each other, and their faces became heavy.

"Xiaoyan, we shouldn't hide it from you after so many years, it should be when you were 9 years old, that is, when the flu was very serious, you should still have a little impression. ”

Jiang Xiaoyan nodded, when the flu broke out, many people died in Luohe Town, and the town was also isolated and sprinkled with lime powder, as for how her mother took her out of the quarantine circle back then, she still doesn't know.

"Your mother was relatively wealthy with us back then, and you also know that rich people could go out for treatment at that time, so we thought that she would take you out for fear that you would also be infected, but who knew that she had a heart attack on the way back, and the medical conditions in the town were not enough, and she didn't give people the isolation circle, and then she was gone. The neighborhood raised some money to cremate and bury her, and also mobilized people to look for you, but I didn't find it for a long time, Da Zhuang cried for a while, but over time, there were more dead people and there was no way to find you again. ”

Jiang Xiaoyan lowered her eyes, it turned out that the illness that her mother had been unwilling to talk about was a heart attack?

"The flu comes and goes fast, Luohe Town, half of the people died, the stammering grandma next door to you, the strong grandparents, and your juniors, the resistance is not strong, and the flu is almost all dead, half a year later, Luohe Town will be assigned to the management of City B, the area has been reduced, and the rich people have gone out, so we can only stay here. ”

Aunt Da Zhuang seemed to remember something, and the chopsticks knocked on the bowl, and it was crisp.

"By the way, a year after your mother's death, a man came to her, a tall and thin man with a northern accent, who said he was your father, and then he went to see your mother's grave and never came again. At the end of the same year, a man also came to her, not very tall, with very beautiful eyebrows, and when he went to see your mother, he asked someone to change her grave. ”

Jiang Xiaoyan could immediately figure out who the first man was when he heard it, and if he guessed correctly, it was Liu Nanfeng's father, tall and thin, with a bit of a northern accent. But who is the second one? Why did he help his mother change the grave? What is his relationship with his mother? Why didn't even Liu Lin change the grave for her mother, and he would be so hearted.

Jiang Xiaoyan squinted for two or three hours all night, and got up as soon as it was dawn to prepare breakfast for them.

Da Zhuang drove Liuzhou Wuling, which was pulling fish, and Jiang Xiaoyan was still sitting in the Qiuming Mountain God Car for the first time, and he couldn't help but look at it when he sat in the co-pilot.

Liu Nanfeng's Maybach, she really dislikes it! She has been driving it for 5 or 6 years, and she is not willing to change it!

Eh, why do you think of him again?

The car drove for about 10 kilometers, and Da Zhuang took her to a tiled house, which was not large, but there were eight coffins, some of which had just been planed out, some of which were painted black, and some of which were written with a dark character.

A 24 and 5 young man walked out of the back room while getting dressed, and when he saw Jiang Xiaoyan, his eyes were straight, and his hands on his clothes stopped moving.

"Erfei, this is Jiang Xiaoyan, can you recognize it?" Jiang Xiaoyan also thought for a while, and then smiled, it was Chen Erfei who was fighting with the old class next door.

"It's been a long time!" Jiang Xiaoyan took the lead in greeting, Chen Erfei blushed and scratched his head.

After a while, Chen Erfei took her into the inner room to see Chen's father, a shed was built in the courtyard of the inner room, and a black and gold coffin was placed under the shed, which was much more exquisite than the eight outside.

"Erfei, what's the matter with Uncle Chen?" Da Zhuang grabbed Erfei and asked in a low voice.

"Throat cancer is in an advanced stage, and after the operation, he has no money to go home and eat herbs, and this coffin is also dug by himself. ”

Jiang Xiaoyan was worried in his heart, and followed them into the low black room.

"Abba, Abba, do you remember Jiang Xiaoyan?" Chen Erfei asked in dialect, the thin old man on the bed squinted his eyes and did not speak, motionless.

Chen Erfei shouted a few more times, and he was so bold that he walked over directly and shouted, stretching out his hand to probe his snort.

Uncle Chen is gone, but he is an old man in his 50s, because the illness is gone.

Jiang Xiaoyan accompanied Er Fei and Da Zhuang to organize Uncle Chen's funeral, the funeral was very simple, Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't do anything, so he could only help them with chores.

On the day of the burial, the sky was clear, and the golden part of the coffin was shining, this is a person's life!

Jiang Xiaoyan left on the third day, and Da Zhuang accompanied her to ask the other person who had built her mother's grave, saying that she had changed to a large cemetery in the city.

Da Zhuang was delayed for a long time, and he had to go back to open a fish stall, the two of them wrote down each other's numbers, and Jiang Xiaoyan kept taking the taxi to the big cemetery they said, and found the mountainside from the foot of the cemetery.

The gloomy old man guarding the tomb couldn't stand it, and roared at her, Jiang Xiaoyan was so frightened that his heart was about to come out.

"Grandpa, I'm here to look for my mother's grave. The old man squinted at her and came out of the small house guarding the tomb.

"Follow me. The old man said, Jiang Xiaoyan followed him suspiciously, the old man stood in front of the double tomb near the top of the mountain, Jiang Xiaoyan gasped and climbed the long ladder, his body had not recovered well, Jiang Xiaoyan stood still, and made sure that his head was not dizzy before walking again.

Looking at the almost identical black and white photos on the tombstones of the pair, Jiang Xiaoyan was out of breath and touched his face unconsciously, could the old man recognize whose daughter she was at a glance?

The day her mother Jiang Shengsheng passed away was the day she was sent to the welfare home, did she die of a heart attack on that day? Jiang Xiaoyan's mind flashed her mother's thin and staggering back, yes, it was that day, her mother left crying, telling her to take good care of herself, so what about the other woman who looked the same as her mother on the tombstone, Jiang Dai? Who is she? Is her mother's twin sister? Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes widened when she saw her death on January 1.

Twenty-four years ago, on January 1st, the day she was born, how could she be, how could she die on the day she was born, she didn't know at all, she didn't know at all, what the hell was going on?

Jiang Xiaoyan knelt down on the cement slab, she tried to sort out the things in front of her, Jiang Sheng, Jiang Generation, there is no doubt that her mother had a twin sister, so why didn't her mother mention it to her? Why did her mother hide it? Why did her mother's sister die on the day she was born? Is this the reason why her mother never gave her birthday? What did her mother's sister die for? Who was the man who put her mother's grave and her mother's sister's grave together?

Jiang Xiaoyan wiped away her tears, inhaled heavily, and then went down the mountain to find the small house of the grave keeper.

"Grandpa, do you have the contact information of the person who buried my mother?" The old man glanced at her, got up slowly, and dragged out a dusty wooden box from under the bed, the old man blew the ash, took the old-fashioned key to open the lock, and found it by year, and then slowly put a cemetery record book on the wooden table, Jiang Xiaoyan was about to reach out and turn it over, and then was opened by the old man.

"My wife also died that year, and I have been guarding her here for 25 years. Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned, her mother died 15 years ago, wouldn't this old man find her the burial record of the day her mother and sister?

"It was a man who came 24 years ago and 14 years ago. The old man seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, so he said, Jiang Xiaoyan watched him open the thick book, skip the first day of January, and turn to the end of December at the end of the year, could it be that his mother's sisters also migrated to this tomb from other places?

Cen Fu? Is this a man? Jiang Xiaoyan took a picture of his information with his mobile phone, he had a mobile phone number, an address, and the address was Tengfei Road, City H. Jiang Xiaoyan stared at his brows and tried to make a call.

"Hello, are you Cen Fu?"

"Well, yes, who are you?"

"I'm Jiang's daughter, you know my mother, right?"

The chess pieces on Cen Fu's right hand suddenly fell, Old Man Liu drank a cup of tea and glanced at him, how many years had he not dropped a chess piece in his hand, what could disturb his mind?

Jiang Xiaoyan shouted Uncle Cen a few times, and Cen Fu came back to his senses.

"Where are you now?Cemetery?" Cen Fu had just heard Old Man Liu talk about Jiang Xiaoyan and Liu Nanfeng, but he really didn't expect Jiang Xiaoyan to call him.

"Yes, are you still on Takeoff Road in H City? I immediately went back to you, I wanted to know about my mother. ”

"I'll send you the address, you come to me. Cen Fu realized that he couldn't mention the Liu family to her, and he couldn't let Old Man Liu know, so he immediately hung up the phone, sent Jiang Xiaoyan to his current address, and also told Old Man Liu that he had something urgent, so he got up and left immediately.

After receiving the message, Jiang Xiaoyan thanked the old man, and immediately left to return to Da Zhuang's house, took a backpack and said goodbye to Aunt Da Zhuang before going to the airport.
