By the time we went down, the sun was almost setting. After the funeral procession of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion put the things in the ancestral hall, they rushed to their own homes together.

Wu Chongde stood beside the stone lion at the entrance of the ancestral hall, looked at the sky, and patted the dust on the trouser tube. Seeing that Cheng Xiaolan was being helped by Wu Fen and was coming this way, she took out a roll of paper from the pocket of her left upper coat, smoothed the wrinkles on it with her hand, and cleared her throat.

"Brother and daughter-in-law, you and Fen Fen are fine. This is the list.,It's all written clearly the source of the money.,A total of 926.32 yuan.,The wreath was taken on credit from Lao Hu.,It's also counted in this one.,You take it back.,If there's anything wrong, come to me.,The matter of money.。。 Wu Chongde watched Cheng Xiaolan take the things, knowing that the matter of raising money was a little sensitive at this time, and he was embarrassed to remind him repeatedly, but the people in the village have always given cash to do things, and it is not good to delay it for a long time.

"Fen Yanzi, you take it first. Village Chief, thanks to you and everyone for your help, don't worry about the money, I'll ask Wu Fen to send it to you later, I just saw my sister-in-law look at this side of the pond several times, there may be something, you better go over and take a look. Cheng Xiaolan knew the other party's embarrassment, and said with a grateful look.

Wu Chongde looked at the other party so refreshingly, and he also put his mind at ease, nodded and turned to leave.

When I got home, my grandmother Huang Fengying was chewing a piece of instant noodles, and when she saw someone coming back, she wiped her hand on her pants and stepped on her little feet to meet her.

"That Xiaolan, I don't think you need the nylon cloth in your house, so I took it back to the national army to make clothes, and the military coat that Chang Yicub used to have. As soon as someone from the village came to collect the old things, I sold him. I haven't eaten yet, you go and cook the meal, I still have something to do, I'll come back later. Huang Fengying picked her teeth with her little fingernails, spit a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, squinted her eyes, broke the remaining instant noodles on the stool with her hands, and walked over the steps to the back of the house without waiting for a reply.

Wu Fen frowned and sighed helplessly. Let my mother sit on the stone bench at the entrance of the hall. I went to the stove house to cook.

When I entered the stove house, I saw that there was still firewood piled up at the mouth of the stove, and when I opened the kitchen cabinet, there were some peppers, bitter gourds, and tomatoes piled up inside. There is half a cut winter melon next to it. Take out 10 chili peppers and 2 bitter gourds. Took two tomatoes. Cut the winter melon in half with a knife. I took four eggs from the cupboard and prepared to make four dishes and one soup: fried peppers in oil, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, braised winter melon, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and a bowl of egg soup.

First, I measured five cylinders of rice from the rice bowl with a small bamboo tube, added water and washed it twice. Start cooking in a steamer on a coal stove. But I was relieved in my heart, fortunately, my aunt, cousin, and cousin all went home first, saying that they would come over tomorrow, otherwise she really didn't know how to wait for them.

Grandfather Wu Lunbai and grandmother Huang Fengying have three daughters and one son, and father Wu Changyi is the second. Aunt Wu Fu is three years older than her father, married to Luoqiaokou Village, and her uncle Yin Sanwei has three sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter died at an early age, and the younger son was trampled to death when he worked in the south last year to help the fellow villagers fight, the family's economic conditions are not very good, and they also planted watermelons and melons to sell in the summer, which is also a source of income. The second aunt Wu Rong is two years younger than her father, married Yu Xiaoping in the col of Wujiachong Mountain, and gave birth to two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter married a contract worker in a coal mine in another place, the son followed the farming at home, and the younger daughter worked outside. My sister-in-law Wu Hua married on the street of Guqiao Town, and gave birth to a son and a daughter with my uncle Xia Guoyi.

The sky slowly darkened, and in the stove house, Wu Fen cut the vegetables and put them aside, peeled four garlic heads, chopped them in a small bowl and put them on the nail board. Turning around, he stuffed the firewood from the door of the stove, grabbed a handful of sawdust from his side and put it under the firewood that had been erected, fiddled with the lighter, lit the sawdust, and blew a few breaths on the blowpipe, and when he saw that the firewood was gradually burning, he put the blowpipe aside. Quickly brushed the pot with a dried loofah cloth, scooped a spoonful of well water, rinsed it twice, poured the water into the bucket on the left, and began to cook.

Almost an hour passed, Wu Fen brought the food to the big table in the hall outside, and saw that her mother was moving a chair outside, and her grandfather and uncle were sitting on the side talking quietly. He went into the hall and fed his brother a small half bowl of rice soup, surrounded him with two pillows, and put a small rag doll for him to play with on the bed. When I came out of the hall after doing this, I was already sweating, I wiped my sleeves casually, and when I walked to the hall, I saw my grandfather and they were all sitting at the table, so I went over and called: "Grandpa, you are here, uncle, mother, let's eat first, I will warm grandma's rice in the pot." Wu Fen's face was calm, but his heart was happy, looking at his grandfather's healthy face, he felt so good, in his last life, his grandfather passed away this winter, and he was studying in the provincial capital, and he couldn't come back in time to send his grandfather to the end, and then I didn't know how much I regretted it, so I saw that my grandfather was not only happy, but also shook his fist, this time I must tell him to take blood pressure medicine on time, quit drinking, and not let my grandfather die early.

After retiring from Chunqiao Town Hospital, his grandfather Cheng Shunan was a military doctor, and after retiring from Chunqiao Town Hospital, he opened a private clinic at home to treat villagers and brought a little apprentice. During the Chinese New Year last year, Wu Fen also saw that his grandfather's apprentice had become a barefoot doctor, and he could see some simple illnesses such as colds.

Wu Fen was immersed in the memories of the past, and her arm was pushed. "Fenfen, what did Grandpa ask you about?" Liao Heng saw the niece biting the chopsticks on the opposite side and said with concern.

"Huh?. I didn't pay attention to it, Grandpa, you asked me about going to college, right? Wu Fen raised his head and saw three pairs of concerned eyes, a warm current surged in his heart, and he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and responded.

Without waiting for my grandfather to reply, Wu Fen continued with a consultative tone: "I want to change my major, I used to be ignorant, I only took care of my own preferences to apply for the volunteer, if I studied secretarial, it is not very easy to find a job after graduation, so I want to change to a major in civil engineering (road and bridge direction), uncle, you are doing cable business outside, you should know that the road and bridge industry is very good now, so I want to develop in this direction, after graduation, I will work in the construction unit, although it is harder, but the salary is always better than being a clerk in the factory." ”

After listening to this, everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Cheng Shunan carefully observed his granddaughter's expression, not like a grievance, it seems that this child has really grown up and has his own ideas, so he put down his chopsticks, coughed, straightened his expression, and said: "The major of civil engineering is good, since you think about it, you don't have to worry about the tuition, your grandfather has brought it to you, but you have to promise us that you must study seriously and be a down-to-earth person." ”

Wu Fen hurriedly nodded his head heavily, turned his eyes, and saw that his mother and uncle were encouraging him with a smile, and immediately burst into tears. (To be continued.) )
