Chapter 130: Death
At 8 o'clock the next night, Xu Erya died suddenly at the age of 33 and Chinese New Year's Eve.
To date, this is the youngest of the dead villagers in Ota Village.
In his thirties, he was in his prime, and it was supposed to be the moment when the flower of life was blooming, but he was killed by an illness for no reason.
Everyone sighed, but only a few sighs, since last year's earthquake, more than ten people have died in Datian Village one after another, and the villagers' attitude towards this is becoming more and more numb, Xu Erya's death, like throwing a small pebble on the calm lake, maybe there will be some ripples, but soon disappeared without a trace.
Of course, this does not include Xu Yaoguang's family.
Based on the guilt, Xu Erya's funeral was handled by the couple and the couple, and after that, the village committee also symbolically distributed some bereavement gifts.
When the spirit stopped, Wei Hongyu brought two catties of white to mourn.
The four children of the Xu family wore linen and filial piety, kneeling in front of the spirit with a blank expression, all of them were thin and only a pair of bones left, their small faces were black and yellow, and the two sunken eye holes looked at Xu Pandi, who had just turned ten years old this year.
After the incense, Wei Hongyu deliberately dragged Min Xiuxian aside and mentioned the situation.
Min Xiuxian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's really hard for four girls to have such parents."
Wei Hongyu was silent, the situation of Xu Erya's family, but the villagers of Datian Village knew something.
Qi Lihuai doesn't treat his own daughters as people at all, and usually treats them like mules and horses, in comparison, Xu Erya is not much better, although he is not like Qi Lihuai who punches and kicks the children at every turn, but he basically looks at their experiences coldly and has an indifferent attitude, which is really not a qualified mother.
Wei Hongyu thought for a while, and then asked Min Xiuxian, "These four babies, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Min Xiuxian looked into the distance, and after hesitating for a moment, her gaze gradually became firm, as if she had made up her mind, "I plan to recognize Pandi and them as goddaughters, the eldest of the four girls is only ten years old this year, she is too young, and someone has to help behind her." ”
Wei Hongyu let out a long sigh, patted the back of her hand, and didn't say anything more.
Min Xiuxian didn't just talk about it, and soon took practical action.
The day after Xu Erya's funeral, she had a long talk with Xu Yaoguang, after which the two sides insisted on their own words and argued endlessly.
After getting her husband's approval, Min Xiuxian went to the village committee again, but she didn't say that she wanted to officially adopt Xu Pandi and them, but only said that she wanted to take care of the children's daily life in the future.
The cadres of the village committee were naturally happy to see this, and made a notice to the whole village that afternoon, in order to avoid some unnecessary disputes, Zhou Cheng also specially announced and recorded the property status of Xu Erya's family.
Xu Erya's family does not have much food in stock, plus a part of the help received by many people after her death, a total of about Xu Pandi and their four months to chew, in addition, there are more than two acres of land at home.
On this day, Wei Hongyu brought a small jar of spicy meat sauce and some seasonings to Liu Wenlan to see the four women of the Xu family.
When I arrived at the place, it happened that Min Xiuxian was also there, but the eldest Xu Pandi and the second Xu Laidi were not at home, saying that they went up the mountain to collect food.
Wei Hongyu hugged Xu Zhaodi and looked at it, and then dragged Xu Zhaodi to take a closer look - she was dressed neatly, and her complexion was a little ruddy, even some details, such as between her nails and her ears, were clean and clean, not at all like the unkempt and sloppy appearance before.
Only one thing is not good, both children have a bare head, and they look a little funny.
"There are so many lice on my head that I can't catch them cleanly, so I just shave them while it's hot." Min Xiuxian explained.
Liu Wenlan praised Min Xiuxian with a smile, "You will still pick up people." ”
Xu Zhaodi snapped her fingers and said seriously: "Godmother loves us the most, helps us clean, wash, bathe, and give us food."
Wei Hongyu touched her head, "Your godmother is kind-hearted, so be good to you, you have to be sensible and obedient!" As the words fell, he took out a few fruit candies from his pocket.
Xu Zhaodi turned her head and glanced at Min Xiuxian, and only after asking for her consent did she reach out and take it, and after saying thank you, she dragged Xu Zhaodi, who was shouting that she wanted to eat candy, to go to the yard to play.
Liu Wenlan looked at the backs of the two of them and walked out of the house, and sighed repeatedly: "Tut-tut, this girl is only six years old this year, she is really eye-catching and clever enough!" ”
"Parents like that, how can you live a life if you don't live a little bit" Min Xiuxian sighed, thought about it, and said, "Two sisters-in-law, don't bring anything next time, you will always break the bank, I'm sorry." ”
Liu Wenlan pretended to be annoyed and glanced at her, "We brought the baby to eat, what does it have to do with you." When the words fell, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.
After chatting for a few words, Liu Wenlan couldn't help but repeat the old saying, "Xiuxian, if you want me to say that you are too kind, taking care of the four babies is not a worry-free thing, you have to think about it." After a pause, he asked her again, "Do you know what the village is talking about you now?" ”
Min Xiuxian smiled bitterly and nodded, "I know, they all say that I am a stupid hat, and the conditions at home are not good, so I can't do this!" My parents and my brother have said this, in fact, I didn't think about it so much, I felt that I couldn't get over this hurdle, if I didn't take care of Pandi and them, I would feel uneasy, and besides, I discussed this matter with Yaoguang, and he agreed. ”
Liu Wenlan is a cannon character, and when she heard this, she immediately glared at a pair of copper bell eyes, and shouted loudly, "Isn't it the matter of catching rape?" Always hold on to it, you say you're too late! Flies don't bite eggs, if Qi Lihuai is upright, can people catch the wrong place? Again, Xu Erya also did something wrong, if she wasn't always used to her own man, with a character like Qi Lihuai, and a door-to-door son-in-law, he would dare to do this? After all, this has nothing to do with your man or you at all! ”
Min Xiuxian had words of suffering, so she could only laugh forcibly.
Seeing this, Wei Hongyu gave Liu Wenlan a look, and soon, the two diverged from the topic.
After chatting for a while, Wei Hongyu and Liu Wenlan saw that it was not early, and went home separately.
