Li Lei's grandmother passed away, and he was in class when the news came, and his parents took him away directly at school.

Grandma's home is in the northeastern countryside hundreds of kilometers away from the school, and Li Lei's impression of his grandmother in recent years has been stuck in the days when his grandmother lived in their house a few years ago, when his mother accidentally sprained her waist and needed to rest in bed for a while.

Grandma came to his house from the countryside to take care of everything at home temporarily, Li Lei remembered that it was the first time he really lived with his grandmother, she was not tall, fat, and her back was a little hunchbacked, and she was always wearing a gray gown.

Later, my mother's waist was raised, and my grandmother went back to take the children to my uncle and aunt, and it was a few years in a flash, and when Li Lei saw her grandmother again, her old man was already lying in a cold coffin.

That was the first time he saw the corpse of a dead man, maybe because it was his grandmother, Li Lei didn't feel scared, of course, more because he didn't really understand the meaning of death at that time.

I heard the uncles say that my grandmother died after accidentally falling and kowtowing on her head, and my father came back and asked why my grandmother fell, but the three uncles kept silent, as if they had discussed it in advance.

In fact, the year my grandmother came, my father wanted my grandmother to live in the city with us, but my grandmother couldn't worry about the three uncles and insisted on coming back, so my father had to send my monthly living expenses to the second uncle.

At the beginning, the three uncles also discussed and asked the grandmother to take turns to live in the three houses, and this time the grandmother had an accident, which happened to be on the way back from the fourth uncle's house to the second uncle's house......

Grandma is 75 years old this year, and the death of an old man of this age is considered a joy and mourning, and it is going to be a big event, so the funeral shed was set up in the courtyard of the third uncle's house.

Among the uncles, only the third uncle was the most honest, and he kept crying and saying during the wake for his grandmother: "If I come back sooner, my grandmother won't have to die!" ”

Later, I heard from the third aunt that the two of them went to the county hospital on the day of the accident, and the third aunt has been wanting a child all these years, but she can't get pregnant, and she looks like she is in her forties, and it is impossible to have a child if she can't conceive in this life, so they plan to go to the hospital that day to see what is wrong.

When the two of them came back on the tractor of the old man in the same village, they heard that their grandmother had fallen, and they were no longer dead! So the third uncle has always regretted why he went to the hospital that day, and has been complaining about the third aunt, the third aunt is not happy, the doctor said to them that day that it was the third uncle's problem, and the probability of having a doll is not great.

These things have all rushed together, and the third aunt is even more upset, and the third uncle has been complaining about her, and the third aunt went back to her parents' house in a fit of anger.

It stands to reason that he must not complain about the third aunt about this, but the third uncle has no choice, so he can only be angry with his own woman when he feels uncomfortable, but he forgets that the third aunt is not happy in her heart!

Li Lei, as the eldest son and grandson of the Li family, must guard the spirit, and when they arrived, their grandmother had been in the mourning shed for two days, just waiting for Li Lei and his father to come to watch the last night, and the funeral would be held the next day.

The more in the countryside, the more rules for funerals, the second uncle invited Grandpa Zhao from the village, in this place, if there is a white matter at home, you must invite this Grandpa Zhao to take charge.

Li Lei is not yet an adult, so Grandpa Zhao asked him to keep watch with his father in the middle of the night, and he will go back to sleep with his mother after 12 o'clock! He told his father some of the rules in the mourning hall and asked him to tell Li Lei.

The first is that the ever-bright lamp can't be lit, it must be lit all the time, the old and old oil lamp, the fire is faintly like the butt of a firefly, and it feels like it can be blown out with a light blow, and Li Lei's task in the first half of the night is to look at the ever-bright lamp.

The second and third uncles have been guarded two nights ago, so today they went to rest, and it was Li Lei's father's turn to keep a vigil with the fourth uncle.

Li Lei has been watching the ever-bright lantern very carefully, and his father and fourth uncle have been burning paper money in his grandmother.

Suddenly, Li Lei heard his father ask the fourth uncle, "Fourth, how did my mother fall?" ”

The fourth uncle's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know how to answer Li Lei's father for a while.

"I'm not trying to pursue anything, everyone is a brother, I just want to know why my mother didn't have it?"

The fourth uncle seemed to be moved by what he said, bit his lip, and hesitated......

Li Lei's father then persuaded him: "Fourth, who do you say your mother usually loves the most?" It's not the most painful for you! Now that everything is out, let's make things clear, and there will be a gap between our buddies in the future, right? ”

Finally, the fourth uncle opened his mouth and told the truth about his grandmother's fall that day......

Grandma has been living in three uncles' houses in turn, each family for four months, and the eldest is Li Lei's father, who sends living expenses to grandma every month.

Originally, it was good to go on like this, but one thing in the past few months upset the balance.

It was the fourth uncle's turn, and the grandmother sprained her foot because of doing farm work for the fourth uncle's house, so she kept it at the fourth uncle's house until she could walk, so the grandmother stayed at the fourth uncle's house for 6 months.

When the fourth uncle saw that his grandmother's foot was healed, he asked the second uncle to pick it up, but the second aunt thought that the grandmother's foot was injured by the fourth uncle's family, so the grandmother should have been at the fourth uncle's house and then go to his house after this round, that is, she would continue to stay at the fourth uncle's house for two months.

But the fourth aunt didn't do it, it was her foot that was injured at his house, but the old man didn't do any work and twisted it, she has been serving her in vain for more than five months, and now people are not willing to take it away, what do you mean?

The second aunt and the fourth aunt are not fuel-efficient lamps, and there was a big quarrel over this, and the fourth aunt didn't care whether the second family agreed or not, so she sent all the grandmother's clothes over, because the two families were not too far apart, and the grandmother walked over by herself.

The second uncle went out to run errands that day, and the second aunt saw that the fourth family had sent the old lady's clothes over, and thought that you could still throw people down for me when I was not at home, so she patted her ass and went out to play mahjong.

I didn't think that the old lady came over alone, came to the door of the second child's house to see, General Tie guarded the door, she had to sit on the stone at the door first, but the left waited and did not come, the right waited and did not return, the old lady was in a hurry and wanted to go back to the fourth house first, but this time the mood of going back was different, it must be angry and anxious, and the foot walked faster, but he fell down without paying attention, and when he was discovered, he couldn't.

Li Lei's father was angry, he didn't expect his mother to die like this, what kind of women did the second and fourth children marry, if there is a long-hearted one among them, grandma will definitely not have an accident.

Li Lei was also very angry when he heard this, he looked at the ever-bright lamp in front of him, the flame was very strong, so he got up and came to his grandmother's coffin, because it was winter, so there was no need to rent a freezer.

Grandma lay in it very calmly, but her face was a little blue, Li Lei thought that maybe this might be the face of a person after death! (To be continued.) )
