"What's going on, Zhou Dafa won't even sell the house, this house is gone, where can we find it, forget it, let's just go back, let's ask tomorrow." Hongxia said.

Erniu felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "The people who wrote this letter have all said, saying that Zhou Dafa can't last long, we are all here, so we want to see people before leaving, you are here with the child, I will ask what is going on?" ”

Hongxia nodded, Erniu and Changgong went to the village together, Erniu asked several people, no one was willing to say at first, when it came to Zhou Dafa, everyone hated and gritted his teeth, and he didn't have a good face to show Erniu, and then he finally asked an old man, only to know that Zhou Dafa sold the family's field and house not long after he and Hongxia were separated, and he didn't come back to the village at first, and then he didn't know what was going on, but he often came back, but he did all the bad things in the village, like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and molesting the women in the village, The family was afraid of him, and then one of his cousins saw that he didn't even have a place to sleep when he came back, so he gave him a broken thatched house to live in, and now it should be in the thatched house, Erniu asked the location of the thatched house, and then he and Changgong turned back to the entrance of the village.

Erniu returned to the ox cart and didn't tell Hongxia those words, but said that Dafa didn't live there anymore and lived somewhere else. The thatched house that the man said was still some way away from here, so Er Niu asked the chief worker to drive the ox cart together, and after walking a long way, he saw a dilapidated thatched house in a remote place from the village, and there seemed to be a faint light in it. Erniu thinks it should be there.

When they arrived in front of the thatched house, they parked the ox cart there, and Er Niu walked in with the two children. Through the faint light, I saw a person lying on a wooden board in the house, and when I got closer, it was indeed Zhou Dafa, but it had changed a lot from before, and the person was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, and it was already more out of breath and less in breath, and I saw Erniu coming in. I wanted to speak, but I didn't have the strength to speak, so I just lifted my eyelids. The hand wanted to be raised, but he couldn't lift it, so Er Niu pushed the Yuanzhu and Yuanbao forward and said, "Dafa." This is Yuan Zhu and Yuanbao. Your two children, I'll take them to see you. ”

Yuan Bao saw Zhou Dafa on the bed, didn't dare to go forward, hid behind his sister, just looked at Zhou Dafa with his eyes, Yuan Zhu was fine, standing in front and looking at Zhou Dafa. In the end, he shouted softly: "Dad." ”

Zhou Dafa's eyes suddenly moistened, and he wanted to say something. But he still didn't say it, he just looked at the Yuan Zhu and Yuan Bao in front of him with his eyes, his eyes were full of remorse, presumably because he regretted all the wrong things he had done before. should indeed regret it, if Zhou Dafa was so outrageous, he would not have come to this point today.

Zhou Dafa looked at the people in the house, his eyes kept stopping at the door, Erniu knew that he was looking for Hongxia, so he went out and shouted Hongxia to come in, in fact, Hongxia had already come to the door, come in and let Dafa go with peace of mind, it would be good to accumulate some yin virtue.

Hongxia nodded, and also walked into the house, although Zhou Dafa was indeed too wrong before, although Hongxia said categorically at home, but when she walked into the house and saw Zhou Dafa's appearance, Hongxia was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, Zhou Dafa was about 90 pounds thin, only saw a handful of bones, and his eyes were as big as skull eyes, and he was a little frightened, Hongxia still walked to Zhou Dafa's bedside and said: "Don't worry, I will bring up the child well, I will teach Yuanbao well, I will not let him go your way." ”

Zhou Dafa saw Hongxia, listened to Hongxia's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he closed his eyes peacefully, thinking that he had been holding his breath for so long just to see Hongxia and his children, Zhou Dafa left, Hongxia also shed some tears, sighed, and said that it looked like this, and no one on Zhou Dafa's side would care, so it was also a husband and wife, Ming'er spent some money himself, went to the town to buy a cheap coffin, and handled Zhou Dafa's funeral simply.

The next day, Erniu, Dasheng and Dajiang didn't go to work, they all took Hongxia's three mothers and sons to the thatched house where Zhou Dafa died in an ox cart, and Qingshan went to the town to buy a coffin.

Hongxia let the two children also wear filial piety clothes, finally someone put on linen and filial piety for him, Erniu and Dajiang Dasheng they helped to do everything that should be done, and when Qingshan bought the coffin back, he buried Zhou Dafa, when he was buried, there were many people in this village who came to see, naturally they all recognized Hongxia, some people didn't know that they were separated, and they also said that this Hongxia was so ruthless, and he didn't come back for so many years, the man died, and he was buried hastily, but those who knew also said that Hongxia's family was really good, Men have sold them, and this is really rare to come back to handle the funeral.

Hongxia's family didn't pay attention to what others said, and it took a day to bury Zhou Dafa, although it was simpler, but what should have been done was done, and Hongxia took the child back.

When he returned to Zhao's house, Zhao asked, "Have you done everything over there?" ”

"That's it." Hongxia said

"You are really kind, that Zhou Dafa treated you mothers and sons like this, and you still spent money and effort to do a funeral for him, that kind of person should be so bad that no one collects the body when he dies." Zhao said.

"Mother, don't say it, everyone is already dead, what's the use of saying this, so that Yuanzhu Yuanbao will feel better in the future." Hongxia said.

"That's it, let's not talk about it. But Hongxia, my mother wants to tell you, you have been separated from Zhou Dafa for so many years, what are your plans in the future, you used to say that you were afraid that Yuanzhu Yuanbao would be young and no one would take care of you if you remarried, but now that they are so old, you can't live like this for the rest of your life. Zhao asked.

"Mother, I don't want anything else, I want to make more money in the past few years, wait until two years, Yuanzhu is older to find her a good mother-in-law, and then build a house for Yuanbao, let him marry a daughter-in-law, my life is like this, why can't I live like this for the rest of my life." Hongxia knew what Zhao meant, but she had been like this for the past few years, she felt that she could support herself and two children, so there was nothing wrong with this, and now that the children were older, she had no other ideas.
