Father is still in the hospital to take care of his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin, the family affairs all fell on the young Zheng Zhishang, although when the market was rushed, more than a dozen chickens and ducks were sold, but in the chicken and duck shed, the remaining chickens, ducks and pigs, as well as the four piglets that were growing up, had to eat a lot every day.

In this era, chickens, ducks, and pigs were fed, and there was no feed or anything, and there was no corn soup to feed the pigs, and there was no corn in the village. I don't want to waste too much food to feed the livestock, so I can only go to the field, dig up pigweed, wild vegetables, earthworms and other things and boil them together with swill, and give them to chickens, ducks, and pigs.

So no matter how cold the weather is, Zheng Zhishang has to carry a bamboo basket to dig pigweed and wild vegetables in the field early in the morning, before dawn.

In the afternoon of this day, Zheng Zhishang was in the field, and when he was digging pigweed, the fourth uncle came anxiously, pulled Zheng Zhishang up, and said urgently: "Xingxing, come home with me." ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, seeing that the fourth uncle was full of anxiety, Zheng Zhishang didn't ask much, and followed the fourth uncle to rush back home. The fourth uncle took Zheng Zhishang not back to the former home, but the cave, and when the two returned to the cave, they saw that there were already many people in the courtyard outside the cave.

Even the grandmother, aunt and aunt are there, everyone's expressions are very ugly, this kind of expression, Zheng Zhishang has not seen it, when his mother left, Zheng Zhishang accepted this kind of treatment. Zheng Zhishang suddenly panicked in his heart, his head went blank, and he forgot to greet everyone.

I just walked to the door of the cave in a bit of a daze, stopped, and suddenly went in with some fear. In the end, the fourth uncle swallowed and said, "Xingxing, go in." ”

Zheng Zhishang didn't know how he walked into the room, when he saw the face that he thought about day and night, and now he was even more thin and haggard as if he was sleeping, Zheng Zhishang only felt that the whole person collapsed instantly, tears quickly slipped down, and he pounced, and his hoarse voice cried out: "Abba, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare the stars......"

As Zheng Zhishang's shouts sounded in the house, those who were standing outside the house couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

No matter how Zheng Zhishang called, his father never moved, not even his eyes. It wasn't long before there was suddenly no sound in the room.

The people in the courtyard also fell silent, looking at each other at a loss. At this time, Grandma Ding was a little worried and wanted to enter the house. was stopped by her grandmother, only to hear her grandmother facing Grandma Ding, shaking her head lightly, and swallowing: "It's going to be fine, let the stars accompany Ah Sheng for a while." ”

Grandma Ding sighed, "What kind of sin are you doing, such a well-behaved baby, how can you ......?"

After a long time, Zheng Zhishang's aunt and fourth uncle walked in, and when the two came in, they saw Zheng Zhishang, who was standing motionless by the bed, quietly looking at his father who was lying motionless on the bed. Seeing this, the fourth uncle couldn't help but have red eyes, and tears slipped uncontrollably.

The aunt held back the tears in her eyes, slowly walked to Zheng Zhishang's side, took Zheng Zhishang into her arms, and gently wiped away the tears that swirled in Zheng Zhishang's eyes, while comforting Zheng Zhishang, and said: "Star, don't cry, be ...... well" It's just her own tears, like a pearl with a broken thread, rolling down.

"Auntie, my father, what's wrong?" Zheng Zhishang seemed to be looking for support, and threw himself into his aunt's arms, and tears poured out like a fountain again.

After the mother left, in less than a year, my father was also treated in the hospital because of an accident, and was helping to take care of his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin's grandmother in the hospital.

After a week of rescue in the hospital, he was unable to save his father from the hands of King Yama. Until yesterday, my father was not at ease and broke his last breath.

They sent their father back to the house, ready for the funeral. That night, many people gathered in the family, even the second aunt, who usually doesn't move around much, got the news, and those relatives in the family, friends of my father, when they got the news, also rushed over before dark.

Despite his sadness, Zheng Zhishang wiped away the tears in his eyes, took some money, mushrooms or something, and asked the fourth uncle to help find a longevity coffin in the village. Wrap your father's funeral.

The next day, with the help of the eldest aunt, a feng shui master was found, and the family had a disagreement on the location of the cemetery, the fourth uncle and the eldest aunt wanted their father to be buried in the village, on the grounds that their father and mother were both members of the Zheng family, while the grandmother and aunts hoped that their father and mother would be buried together in their village.

In fact, Zheng Zhishang somewhat understands the thoughts of his grandmother and several aunts. I think that my mother didn't enjoy the happiness before she was alive, and when she went there, she couldn't let her be wronged, and in her own village, she could worship every New Year's festival or death day, and give her some clothes and food, as for her father.

I don't want to be buried in this village, but I am also worried that no one will worship in the future. In fact, the fourth uncle and the eldest aunt have no advantage in fighting with their grandmother and several aunts, since the father was sent home, the grandmother has never appeared, and even the third uncle is not allowed to come over to see his father on the last journey, the grandfather came once, only glanced at it and left.

Zheng Zhishang was also completely dead in this regard, standing on the side of his grandmother and several aunts, at least the cemetery was closer to his grandmother, his father and mother would not be too aggrieved, and someone would do it for them during the New Year's holidays and death days.

This matter, at the insistence of my grandmother, my three aunts, and Zheng Zhishang, it was best to finally settle it, and that day, my aunt and aunt took the feng shui master to the village of my grandmother in the neighboring township.

The funerals of my father and mother were handled with the help of my grandmother, aunt, fourth uncle and a group of relatives, and the two of them were laid to rest. When my mother left, my younger brother Zheng Zhihao and my sister Zheng Zhixin were still young, so they didn't do a funeral, but just let my grandmother and aunt take them home and find a place to settle.

So this time, my grandmother and aunts also insisted on making up for my mother's funeral. Zheng Zhishang also agrees very much with this, and he can't let his mother go too coldly.

Although his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and younger sister Zheng Zhixin were swaddling, they were also picked up from their second uncle's house during the funeral. At that time, the cloth asked for a cloth ticket, and there was no white cloth at home, so the sack containing the rice was dismantled and made into sackcloth.

The two little guys, although they didn't know what was going on, on the day of the funeral, they also followed the mourners, wow wow and cry. The aunt who took care of the two of them couldn't stop crying, and she forgot to coax the two little guys, until she was tired of crying, and then fell asleep full of tears.

Before the father's first seven days passed, it began to be rumored among relatives, friends, and villages that Zheng Zhishang, Zheng Zhihao, and Zheng Zhixin were nemesis and disasters.

In fact, it is no wonder that as soon as the younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin were born, their mother left, and it was less than a year ago, and their father also passed away because of a serious illness between the two.

This kind of thing still has a market in the 21st century in the previous life, let alone the 80s now.

After his mother left, he also expressed his willingness to adopt his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and his sister Zheng Zhixin, the aunts of the two little ones, and now they don't talk about it, and after their father's funeral, they went back like other relatives and friends.

In fact, Zheng Zhishang knew in his heart that the three aunts believed those rumors, and since these rumors came out, the three aunts have never hugged their younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin.

Soon put it down again. After hearing these rumors, the fourth uncle also came to comfort Zheng Zhishang, "Xingxing, don't listen to their nonsense, you can't believe those things." ”

"Fourth uncle, I'm fine."

If it were replaced by his previous life, Zheng Zhishang would not believe it, he would only regard it as superstition, but after experiencing rebirth, Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but believe in this kind of thing in his heart, otherwise how to understand his rebirth. However, I only felt wronged by my younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin.

If you talk about the disaster star, nemesis, and lonely star in the family, Zheng Zhishang thinks that he is. Maybe the parents in the previous life were killed by themselves, or they invited Mr. Feng Shui, and they saw that they were the lone star of the heavens earlier, so they abandoned themselves.

And his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhishang were both affected by themselves. It's just that how can I tell the fourth uncle about this kind of thing, I can't say that I believe it, because I am born again.

In the cave, except for Grandma Ding, Grandma Wen and some old people, they occasionally come over, and basically no one wants to approach it. Even those who pass by hide far away, as if hiding from the plague.

The fourth uncle also came to visit Zheng Zhishang, his younger brother Zheng Zhihao, and his sister Zheng Zhixin from time to time. angered my grandmother, it was the day after my father's funeral, and my grandmother chased after her, grabbed the fourth uncle's ear, and asked the fourth uncle to leave. The fourth uncle refused.

Grandma was furious, pointed to Zheng Zhishang and his sister Zheng Zhixin in his arms, and his younger brother Zheng Zhihao, who was held by his grandmother, and roared at the fourth uncle, "You are not afraid of death, are you, the three of them are all lone stars and nemesis." ”

The docile grandmother couldn't help it, and said in a throated voice: "Aunt her, Xingxing, they are also your grandsons and granddaughters, how can you say such things." ”

However, grandma didn't want this to make too much trouble, after all, the parents' funeral had just been completed, and it was not over the first seven, and finally said to the fourth uncle who was doing it with grandma: "Ah Jian and your grandma go back, the stars and the three of them, with aunts watching, it will be fine." ”

Maybe it was because she was still afraid of some face, but in the end, grandma only took the fourth uncle away, and on the way back, she still kept talking, the voice was loud and harsh, and her voice could be heard in the whole workshop.

My father's first seven days were very deserted, and according to local customs, all the relatives of the family had to come. Although these relatives came that day, they only glanced at the courtyard from a distance, and said a few words of comfort to their grandmother and Zheng Zhishang from afar, and left.

Although the fourth uncle wanted to come, he had been locked in the room by his grandmother and grounded.

The first seven grasses were done, and after worshipping his father. Grandma took out a key from her pocket, gave it to Zheng Zhishang, and said, "Xingxing, this is your father, let Grandma pass it to you before leaving." ”

Zheng Zhishang held the key tightly, this key, Zheng Zhishang knew, it was the key to a small box that his father had been hiding under the bricks under the bed before his death. It is all the savings of my father who has grown shiitake mushrooms and fungus, sold grain and poured high dried red mushrooms this year.

Seeing the silent Zheng Zhishang, my grandmother sighed and said, "Xingxing, how will you live in the future?" ”

"Grandma, it's okay, I can take care of myself and feed my brother and sister. Shall I send them to school? Zheng Zhishang said with a little adult, yes, he is preparing for his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin to go to school, which is a dream that his father has not fulfilled in his life, and it is also the regret of his life.

However, for Zheng Zhishang's words, grandma and aunt obviously didn't believe it, grandma just heard a joke at the time and smiled with relief. The aunt pushed Zheng Zhishang's head and said angrily: "You are so young, how can you provide for them to go to school." ”

Yes, don't say that grandma and aunt don't believe it, but who will believe it. Zheng Zhishang is still too young, only six years old, such a young child, can't get off the ground, what can he do? It's hard to support yourself, let alone bring two younger siblings.

"Grandma, why don't you let the stars come with us." The aunt couldn't bear it, so she asked her grandmother in a low voice:

"No, grandma, auntie, I can do it myself."

didn't embarrass his grandmother, Zheng Zhishang hurriedly refused. The life of my grandmother and grandfather's family was not easy, my grandfather liked to drink, and when my aunt was still young, my grandfather almost sold my aunt and exchanged it for wine money. It was the eldest uncle, second uncle, mother and a few aunts who secretly hid the aunt so that they were not sold by the grandfather. However, the third uncle was not so lucky, and was sold to another township by his grandfather.

Now that my grandfather and grandmother are old, with my aunt who has not yet married, I have been with my uncle's family, and my aunt (that is, Zheng Zhishang's second aunt) is not very good, among Zheng Zhishang's three aunts, the one who is most like a grandmother is not good, and with Zheng Zhishang's brothers and sisters, my grandmother, grandfather, and aunt can only come out of my uncle's house.

"What can you do, even if my aunt gets married in the future, I will take you with me."

My grandmother was also laughed at by my aunt, "I still haven't grown up, so I want to get married." Maybe I thought about it again, the daughter who was sent to Zheng Zhishang's house at the age of thirteen, the smile on her face quickly froze, and she returned to her original sadness.

"Grandma, auntie, I really don't need to. There are pigs, chickens, ducks, mushrooms, and fungus at home, and although I am still too young to plant, I can rent it to others to plant, and it is still okay to collect some rations. ”

Zheng Zhishang did not think about going out and going to the newly opened coastal city of Xiamen. But it's still too young now, what can I do after I go out, although I have the technology of my previous life, but the factory won't want to be myself. Now the factories are all state-run, and it doesn't matter, they won't accept child labor.

Those small individual workshops, even if they dare to accept them, Zheng Zhishang does not dare to go, black workers, there is no guarantee, and it is easy to be defrauded by self-employed owners. And with his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin, there is no way to work.

The only thing you can do is to use the memories of your past life, a certain understanding of the current situation, and become self-employed, but think about it, it is still limited by age, if your father is still there, you can still try, think about it, the best way at present is to stay in the village, after two years, and wait for his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin to walk, and then take them out together.
