3. Daddy

"You kid, why did you become so polite all of a sudden, okay, I'll remind you, hey! When you encounter such a thing, not to mention that you are a child, even an adult, you can't bear it all of a sudden, and you are blinded, and you don't know what to do. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang Shuzhen said, her eyes moistened.

Pomegranate looked around, in front of the village, behind the village, or in the village, there were no peach blossoms, she asked curiously: "Auntie, there are no peach blossoms in this village, but why is it called Peach Blossom Village?"

Wang Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, she was puzzled by the child suddenly asking such a question, she shook her head, thinking, a child is a child, yesterday I only knew that her father was dead, so I was so anxious that I planted myself in the river, I woke up today, I want to see her father, she still has time to think about other things.

"Auntie, what's wrong? Don't you know why this place is called Peach Blossom Village? ”

Wang Shuzhen came back to her senses, "Of course I know that there were many peach trees behind the village, but in order to improve the field, the peach trees were cut down." ”

"So that's the case, the name Peach Blossom Village is very beautiful, but now there are no peach trees, which is very unworthy of the name."

"Now the grain is the most important, so the peach forest has been changed into a field, but there is still a peach tree behind the mountain, because the slope is steep, it is not easy to change it into a field, hey! You're a native of this village, and you don't know any of that, too, because you don't go out much. ”

There are very few children in the countryside who don't go out to work, almost none, they are all used to Shi Kailiang, and now it's okay, he is gone, and it is impossible for this child not to go out to work in the future.

The land temple is in the east of the village, Pomegranate and Wang Shuzhen went there together, along the way, Pomegranate saw that many families were mud houses, and even some were thatched houses, so the people who built tiled houses were good houses.

Walking all the way and looking at other people's houses, Pomegranate knew that his own was good. Some people's chickens, ducks and vegetable patches are in the yard, that dirty, I can't imagine it, her house is fine, the vegetable patch and the chicken and duck raisers are separated from the yard.

Arrived at the land temple, in front of the land temple is an open land, wide and flat field, from a distance I saw some people gathered there, the land temple inside is wide and high, much higher than the general residential house, there are many statues inside, there are many statues, because of the four old, all the statues are destroyed, Shi Kailiang is lying there, covered with a white cloth, the head and feet are lit with oil lamps, next to a big black coffin.

Pomegranate looked at it, lying under the white cloth is her father, she crossed over, he left before he saw him, and it was the father and daughter who left together, her heart was a little sour, others have a mission whether they are crossing or being reborn, she doesn't know what mission she has crossed over here.

Wang Shuzhen saw the pomegranate standing there stupidly, and hurriedly pushed her to kneel in front of Shi Kailiang.

There was a man next to him: "This kid is so stupid that he can't even cry."

Pomegranate knelt there, bowing her head, she knew that at this time, she should cry, but she just had no tears, the emotions of the original owner were surging in her heart, her heart was sullen, there was a dull pain, it was very uncomfortable, but she just didn't have tears.

Pomegranate saw that there was incense and paper fire next to him, so he lit three incense injections, burned some paper money, and then kowtowed three times to show his guilt, as a daughter, in the face of the dead father, there were no tears, and he couldn't cry, which was of course guilty.

There is a big pot and a big stove next to it, Wang Shuzhen and a few women are cooking over there, Pomegranate walked over to help, Wang Shuzhen said: "Pomegranate, you don't have to help, go and stay next to your father, you can't let the oil lamp behind his head and feet stop, that is the light that illuminates his way to that side."

Pomegranate had no choice but to go back to her father and kneel there with her head bowed in grief.

Pomegranate knelt there, thinking to herself, what kind of person is this old man? In the memory of the original owner, this father was very good to the original owner and loved him very much, in that era, people's energy was on how to eat enough, and the parents' love and concern for their children were rough and vague, but there were very few like Shi Kailiang for his daughter. It's pitiful, the father and daughter both left together, was the father reluctant to let his daughter go, or was he afraid that she would not be at ease if she stayed here alone, so he took it away?

What does Shi Kailiang, who is a good father to his daughter, look like in the eyes of others? It seems that everyone is afraid of Shi Kailiang and doesn't dare to provoke him, but Shi Kailiang is not very resentful, and he is not a heinous person. But the wife was robbed, which is too gangster. Such a person, Pomegranate can't understand, but it may be the reason why the original owner's feelings are in her body, and she is still very sad about the death of this old father. My heart was like pressing a big stone, heavy.

In the memory of the original owner, the father was a tall and big man, with brute strength, and it was easy for one person to do the work of two people, so he did all the work of his daughter and let her stay at home and do housework.

Now Shi Kailiang is lying here, with long hands and long feet, and a big skeleton, and the people next to him are talking about running several coffin shops, but none of them are suitable for him, and those coffins are too small, and in the end, they can only be made by making the coffin in a hurry, so the smell of paint is still very strong.

After a while, the meal was ready, and everyone was noisily eating, and there were only two tables of people.

Wang Shuzhen told Pomegranate that now everyone in the village is going to do collective work, eating a big pot of rice before, and then eating their own food, and now Shi Kailiang has an accident, which can be regarded as work! Therefore, it is handled by the collective, and these people are the people who need to go out of the funeral tomorrow, and they are the people designated by the captain. Others just go back to work.

During the meal, Pomegranate found a special person, he was different from the people here, and it was very different, he looked a few years older than Pomegranate! He had just come here, he wasn't here before, he was wearing a set of old blue clothes, clean, his face and hands were also very clean, not only did he dress out of place with other people, but his gestures were also different, he was a kind of person with a good family education and behavioral habits.

When he arrived here, he went directly to Shi Kailiang and kowtowed a few times, lit incense, inspected the lamp, and stood aside.

People looked at him, but no one spoke to him, and they each bowed their heads to eat, and the captain Qin Baoqiang held the rice bowl and said, "Jiang Hongxiang, have you eaten?" Come and eat. ”

"Thank you, Captain Qin, I've eaten."

Pomegranate brain complements this person, he is the son of a reactionary in a provincial town, and he was sent to this village to be reformed through labor, so everyone avoids him, this kind of person, no one dares to have anything to do with him, for fear that when someone says that his class position is unstable, and when he associates with the son of a reactionary, he will also be unlucky, so he can stay as far away as he can.
