Yang Yu trotted out and came back after a while, followed by Yang Dongfeng. Yang Dongfeng is the eldest son of the third uncle, 16 years old this year, he looks honest, and he is indeed an honest person, and he is the only one in the third uncle's family who is good.
It's just that the third uncle's family has three children, why is there only one now? Yang Shan couldn't help but ask Yang Dongfeng: "Why didn't Sister Nannan and Xijun come?" ”
Yang Nannan is the second daughter of the third uncle's family, 15 years old this year, with a pungent temperament, and Yang Shan is not very good. Yang Shan has been here for so long, and the two haven't spoken much.
Yang Xijun is the youngest son of the third uncle's family, 13 years old, the same age as Yang Shan, but he is not as big as Yang Shanda in the month, and he is the younger brother. Yang Xijun is Yang Nannan's follower, he has no opinions and loves to cry, Yang Shan can't communicate with such a child, so he hasn't communicated much.
Yang Dongfeng, the eldest of Yang Shan's third uncle's family, and Yang Nannan, the second child, are helpers in the family, although they say so, Yang Dongfeng loves his younger brothers and sisters very much, and basically takes care of everything by himself. It is said that Yang Dongfeng is idle at home now, and it is impossible for Yang Nannan not to be at home, so Yang Shan asked so.
Yang Dongfeng seemed to be in some embarrassment, so he didn't speak. But Yang Yu replied for him on the side: "Yang Nannan's stomach hurts, and Yang Xijun is taking care of her." ”
"Stomach ache? It doesn't matter, right? Yang Qingnian was also waiting for a few small ones, and when he heard Yang Yu say this, Yang Qingnian naturally wanted to ask.
Yang Dongfeng has a lot of respect for Yang Qingnian, the uncle, and Yang Qingnian naturally explained honestly when he asked Yang Dongfeng. replied: "Nannan suddenly has a stomachache, I have asked Heejun to take care of her at home, let's go to the second uncle's house first." ”
Yang Qingnian seemed to be still immersed in the grief of the death of his second brother, and said without any spirit: "That's okay, you can come back early in a while." ”
Yang Dongfeng responded with a "hey". After Yang Qingnian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the second uncle's house, and Yang Shan and Yang Yan's sister and brother also pulled their heels.
When I came to the second uncle's house, I felt a heavy atmosphere before I entered the door. Yang Jing, the youngest daughter of the second uncle's family, squatted at the osmanthus tree in the yard to wipe her tears. Seeing someone enter the door, he hurriedly wiped his tears and shouted, "Uncle." Then he called out several brothers and sisters in turn. Yang Qingnian was relieved to see her pat her shoulder like this, and Yang Jing held back her tears and avoided her body and let a few people pass.
Yang Jing is the youngest of the three siblings, she is only ten years old this year, she looks round and round, and her face is blessed. Usually when I see Yang Shan, I will smile without seeing my teeth, and he is also well-behaved. Now such a well-behaved child's eyes are red and swollen, and his face is pale, which makes Yang Shan really distressed.
Yang Dongfeng and Yang Yu followed Yang Qingnian in, but Yang Shan didn't follow, just walked over and hugged Yang Jing in his arms, and whispered, "Cry!" Yang Shan has never experienced this kind of pain of losing her father, and she can't say anything comforting, all she can do now is to give her a shoulder to lean on and let her cry happily.
Yang Jing was still a little stiff at first, but she couldn't bear it, and finally simply lay in Yang Shan's arms and cried.
The two sisters hugged each other in the yard, as if someone had come out of the house and gone back.
When Yang Jing was tired of crying, she came out of Yang Shan's arms, lowered her head and said in a dumb voice, "Sister, go see my father." ”
Yang Jing was reluctant to look up, Yang Shan couldn't see her face and could only stare at the top of her head, and then raise his feet to go in.
Entering the house, the third uncle Yang Qingfu and Liu stood on the left side of the door with red eyes, and Yang Qingnian and Huang stood on the right side, also with a sad face. And the second uncle Yang celebrated's wife Gu Shi was lying on the edge of the bed sobbing quietly, as if she had lost the strength to cry. Their eldest son, Yang Xubei, knelt at the head of the bed, and their second daughter Yang Hui knelt beside her brother and stretched out her hand to hug her mother Gu. And behind them knelt Yang Dongfeng and Yang Food.
Yang Qing on the bed lay quietly, his face was covered with a white cloth, his chest did not rise and fall, and there was no trace of blood on his bare arm.
Yang Shan thought of this second uncle's gentle smiling face in his mind, and his eyes slowly turned red, obviously he didn't cry when he heard Yang Jing crying just now. Yang Shan wiped his eyes, walked over to Yang Yu and knelt down.
Seeing Yang Shan kneeling down, Yang Qingnian said, "Kowtow to the second uncle." ”
Yang Shan bent down and kowtowed without a trace of hesitation, silently thinking in his heart: I wish you to go to a good family in the next life. This kind of wish has nothing to do with superstition or not, it is just a little thought.
After the children all kowtowed, Gu raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Let the children all go back." ”
Most of the funerals are reluctant for the children to participate too much. That's why Gu said this. Yang Qingnian sighed and said, "You all go back, the winter wind stays, and you will keep vigil with your eldest brother tonight." ”
The eldest brother refers to Yang Xubei, Yang Dongfeng is the second in the three, the third is Yang Hui, the fourth is Yang Nannan, Yang Shan is the fifth, the sixth is Yang Shanjun, the seventh is Yang Yu, and the eighth is Yang Jing.
After Yang Qingnian's words were finished, Yang Dongfeng nodded in response.
The Liu family on the side spoke: "Big brother, I think it's better to leave Yang Cuisine behind, so that no one will gossip about your family in the future." ”
Huang became angry when he heard it, but he also knew the current atmosphere, and said in a suppressed voice: "Yang Yu is still young, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay up at night and will cause trouble." ”
Liu explained with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I'm thinking about you, the children of the second family's vigil should have been, and our third family has also come out, you are the boss, there is no child who keeps vigil...... I'm afraid that someone will chew the root of the tongue in the back in the future. ”
At this time, Yang Xubei said: "How can there be a child who keeps vigil, no, no, I can do it alone." ”
Yang Dongfeng also said: "I'll stay too, our brothers are adults, it's okay to stay." ”
Yang Qingnian's expression was a little strange when Liu said that, and when he heard the two brothers say this, he made a hammer: "Yang Fang also stays, so it's decided." ”
The expression on Huang's face was obviously angry, and he was about to say something when Yang Qingnian glared at him, so he didn't say anything more, but his expression was like anger and unwillingness.
Later, Yang Shan knew how many twists and turns there were in Liu's words. It turns out that Yang Qingnian and the Huang family had a child before, and if they are still alive now, they are afraid that they will be older than Yang Dongfeng. It's just that the child was short-lived, fell into the water and drowned. At this time, children who died in vain are generally unlucky and are not allowed to mention.
Liu was just unhappy that Yang Qingnian let Yang Dongfeng stay vigil, so he pulled Yang Yan, who was younger than her three children, into the water, and took Yang Qingnian's short-lived son on the bend, which meant that if your eldest son was alive, wouldn't there be someone now?
It's no wonder Huang is so furious. (The novel "A Farmer with a Girl" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
