The drizzle of rain continued to hit the window glass at the head of the bed, ticking glass beads like glass beads to wake me up from my sleep. In April, the weather warmed up in a blink of an eye, and the air was a little steamed, and the fog was like a fairyland. Such a gloomy and damp day reminds the world that the time of Qingming has long come.

Yesterday, I was still in a hurry to see Lu Yao, but today I was notified by my grandmother that I was going to spend the holiday here. Thinking that I had only met Uncle Yan yesterday, I wondered if it would be a little embarrassing to meet other patriarchs again today. Fortunately, after all, this matter is a secret, so there is nothing to fear. When I came to my grandmother's house, I wore a beige coat, and it was a strict thing to worship my ancestors, so I asked my aunt for a black coat.

"Sorry, don't say it, this dress looks much better than me on you." My aunt looked at me in front of the mirror and kept praising me, which made me a little embarrassed. Indeed, the black fabric of this dress is outlined with a velvety gold, which looks very chic. My aunt said that this was a famous brand that my uncle brought back to her when he went to a meeting in other places, and she was not willing to wear it. Hearing this, I secretly thought that I must be careful and careful today, and I must not stain my aunt's new clothes.

The ancestors of the Xu family are divided into large ancestors and small ancestors. The great ancestor worship is to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xu family, and all the clansmen must gather together, as if they were holding a meeting. The small ancestor worship is to run a purchase at home and sweep the graves of deceased relatives. This big and small ancestor worshippers are busy surviving, and the sky is getting dark. Especially when I was worshipping my ancestors, Uncle Yan kept staring at me, and I was very uncomfortable, for fear that he would pull me and ask me to change my surname.

I finally got a little ancestor worship, and I followed my grandmother's family to the cemetery to sweep my grandfather's grave. The cemetery is some distance from the ancestral hall, and it has been some years, and most of the people buried in it are the Xu family.

"Hey, my grandfather's favorite thing in his life was you, so kowtow to him a few times." Grandma said to me.

Although it has been many years since my grandfather passed away, looking at the photo on the tombstone at this time, he still can't help but feel a little sour in his eyes when he smiles kindly. My grandfather's favorite thing was me, but I didn't stay by his side at the last second of his death. Myocardial infarction, these words have never been able to let go of me.

"Ahh Somehow, on the way back to my grandmother's house, I slipped on the sole of my foot and fell at the door of the cemetery. I was worried that it wasn't me, but my aunt's dress. Sure enough, the hem of the clothes was stained with a lot of mud and stones, and a large stain was left on the gray and yellow. I couldn't laugh or cry at once, and I felt that I had no shame to face my aunt.

"Are you alright?" When my aunt saw that I was falling to the ground, she hurriedly came to help me, and her worried look made me even more embarrassed. "Did you fall? I called your uncle to come and have a look. ”

"It's okay," I quickly got up, "Auntie, this dress ......"

"Hey, this little thing, I'll just go back and wash up." Even though she said that, I still felt sorry for it, after all, she hadn't worn much of the dress. I rubbed my legs and looked back at the place where I had fallen, and there was an extremely flat concrete floor all around, and I didn't know where the mud and sand on my clothes came from, which was really strange.

Tonight, there is also a dinner party in the town, which can be regarded as a chance to relax and celebrate the good weather of the year after worshipping the ancestors. When I returned to my grandmother's house, my aunt immediately washed the clothes, and it took a lot of effort to remove a layer of stains on the surface, but there were still some marks. I repeatedly insisted on buying another one for my aunt to make up for her loss, but she didn't care, saying that she couldn't see it anyway, so she wore it to dinner. I changed back into my old light-colored coat and followed my family to the restaurant in town.

Almost the entire hotel was chartered by the Xu family, and everywhere they went, they were relatives. Grandma pointed to the guy and said that he was called uncle, and pointed to the aunt and said that she was my niece according to the generation, which made my mind a mess, no matter how old or young, I just said hello to deal with it. After taking the seats, everyone was full of red faces to discuss this year's harvest, which was comparable to the first day of the Lunar New Year. Oh, when it comes to the first year of junior high school, I kind of miss that smile.

"Principal ......" Just as my thoughts were flying all over the sky, suddenly an old voice sounded in my ears, which frightened me so much that my soul was gone, and I hit a spirit.

"Uncle Yan, you're scared me to death." Yan Bo didn't know when he walked around behind me, and there were two men standing next to me, one big and one small, who looked very similar. "Didn't you say, don't call me that outside......" I whispered to him.

He ignored my words, turned to the older man next to him, and said with a straight look: "Come, let me introduce you, this is my son, who also works in N City, and has been promoted to general manager this year." ”

At this time, he can still maintain that thunderous and unshakable strictness, and I am really convinced. The man in front of me is about twenty years old, probably not a few years older than me, but the oily and sophisticated expression on his face looks like he has been in the mall for many years, and he is very sleek. Dressed in a crisp suit, he stretched out his hand and shook me warmly, and forced a business card for me.

"Ah, and him, my nephew, get to know him." Yan Bo turned his head and put his hand on the younger young man. This child is still in school, at most in the third year of high school, and his face is ignorant and childish. I could only laugh along, wondering whether the other party should call me aunt or sister.

After some introductions, the two left together. Yan Bo looked at me with an embarrassed face, and said seriously: "How is it, is there anything you like?" ”

"Huh?"

"I thought about it all night yesterday, it doesn't matter if you don't change your surname, as long as you marry into our Xu family, then you can continue to inherit the bloodline." This old man has been thinking about it for so long, and he actually came up with such a trick, which really surprised me, it seems that he is really in a hurry.

"I said Uncle Yan, forget about your son, how old is your nephew......" I was thinking about letting the other party call me aunt just now, but I didn't expect that it was actually a blind date at that time. I told Uncle Yan that I didn't want to get married yet, so let him stop worrying about me, and let him stop spoiling the flowers of the motherland, he should study hard at that age. It was again a request and an order, and after a lot of words, he was finally sent away. Xu Yuanzhi only laughed when he watched from the side, and later told me that Yan Bo's son had been divorced once, and it was said that it was because he was looking for a mistress, and the other party had also found the town, and everyone knew about it. I suddenly didn't feel very good, and I didn't even have the energy to eat.

"Actually, I think that nephew is good, when my junior brother helped me run away, if he is really with you, then he will turn over." Xu Yuanzhi still didn't forget to tease me. Let's leave here tomorrow and go to Qin Chu's family, I thought to myself.

Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to the crowd gathered in the hallway. They got together more and more, whispering to each other as if something big had happened. An older woman in the crowd squeezed out of the center of the crowd, ran towards our table in a panic, and grabbed Xu Yuanzhi's clothes.

"Enambition! Ambition! Your mom passed out! The man gasped.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately put down the chopsticks in my hand and followed Xu Yuanzhi to rush towards the crowd. Pushing aside the large group of people, the innermost uncle was doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the aunt who fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Yuanzhi shouted, "Dad, what's wrong with my mother!" ”

The aunt who had just come to call for someone, while wiping the sweat from her forehead, said to me: "Yuanzhi's mother just came out of the toilet and fainted after a few steps. I happened to be washing my hands in the back, and as soon as I saw her fall, I quickly called Yuanzhi's father over. Must be too tired today! ”

"It should be fine." The uncle picked up the pale aunt who was lying on the ground and said to everyone. "I didn't breathe for a moment, but now it's fine, just rest more." I've already pressed 120 on my phone, but my uncle is a doctor himself, and I was relieved that he said it was okay. When the crowd heard this, they all dispersed, and after a few words of comfort, they returned to their tables. Our family was in no mood to continue eating, so we returned home early.

The next morning, Enshi and I got up. My uncle went to work very early, and my grandmother went to a relative's house for something, and only Yuanzhi and I were left in the house. The two of us cooked some breakfast and prepared to bring it to my aunt. In order not to wake her up, we played games in the room for a while. Looking at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, it was already more than twelve o'clock in a blink of an eye, but there was still no movement in my aunt's room.

Enshi and I decided to go to the room and have a look. As soon as the door opened, my aunt was really asleep. The curtains in the room were closed, which made the room as dark as night, and the clothes I had worn yesterday were still hanging on the hangers and had not been washed. I walked over and opened the curtains, and the light in the room lit up all at once.

"Mom, it's time to get up." Yuanzhi shouted softly, and when he saw that his aunt didn't respond, he shouted louder. "Mom, it's twelve o'clock!" Yuanzhi, who was pushing his aunt, suddenly stopped moving his hand and looked at me at the window in horror.

"Sister...... It's ......"

I hurried over, only to find that Yuanzhi's hands were stained with gray-yellow mud and sand from nowhere. As soon as I lifted the quilt from my aunt's bed, I was immediately shocked by what I saw. Beneath my aunt's body, gray-yellow mud and sand were slowly spilling out.
