After half a day, all the people who were going to go with them were gathered.

As a former son-in-law, Zhang Yanxi will also go to give him a ride, and Yin Hong will accompany him, along with Zhuang Yuncheng and Fluttershy. Early in the morning, the sky was not much bright, except for these four people wearing plain clothes, the rest of the group wore filial piety clothes, and everyone drove from the city to the mountains together.

"Actually, even I haven't met the old man a few times, but he deserves everyone's respect, and everyone can see some precious qualities and touching things from him." Zhang Yanxi said.

"Yes, he has too many stories in his life, and after the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, he has kept the best things."

……

A few people were companions, and felt that time flew by, it was nearly eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was almost there, Yin Hong was a little uncomfortable, and asked Zhang Yanxi: "I will also follow, is it appropriate?" ”

"It's really not inappropriate, but it's also to send the old man on his last journey, and there's nothing wrong with it." Zhang Yanxi said, "It's all here, don't think too much, Yingjiao is a reasonable person, besides, today is the day when the old man enters the earth, she won't embarrass you." ”

"She's not one to embarrass people, otherwise she wouldn't have given you to me like this."

"Why is it so ugly? Why am I with you, she let me? ”

Yin Hong smiled and said, "I said something wrong. ”

Zhang Yanxi pursed her lips and didn't blame her.

Yin Hong walks over to Fluttershy and joins her.

As soon as the four of them arrived, they saw smoke in the woods in front of them from a distance, and they only heard some sounds, but they could not see anyone.

Yin Hong choked and said, "This is burning paper." ”

"Definitely."

The closer I got, the more I saw some people, Qu Yingjiao and her family were there, as well as workers, carpenters, funeral rites, etc., all performing their duties, stepping up their work, there were several tents around, it seemed that they had been here all night.

"Sister Ying." Zhuang Yuncheng shouted.

"Yuncheng, Fluttershy." Qu Yingjiao turned around and saw them, showed a smile, and said, "You guys are here." ”

"Well, here we are." Zhuang saw that she had only lost weight in the past three or four days, and her face was haggard, "I'll go and put incense on the old man first." ”

Qu Yingjiao nodded.

"Fluttershy, it's good for you to stay here." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

Fluttershy nodded, staying by Qu Yingjiao's side, reaching out to hold her cold hand, "Sister Ying, are you okay?" Fluttershy asks.

"It's fine." Qu Yingjiao smiled, and then saw Zhang Yanxi and Yin Hong also coming over.

"Gillian." Zhang Yanxi walked in front of Qu Yingjiao, and also noticed her pale face, her heart was sour, and she asked with her eyebrows, "——? ”

Of course, Qu Yingjiao knew what he was going to say, and replied indifferently: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, and thank you for coming." ”

Zhang Yanxi was speechless, knowing that this was the time when she was extremely vulnerable, if she was still with her, she might be able to share her worries, but everything had changed, thinking about it, she couldn't look directly at Qu Yingjiao's lonely and lonely eyes, so she said, "I'll give the old gentleman a ride." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yanxi turned to look at Yin Hong, Yin Hong felt uncomfortable, as a woman, she could almost empathize with Qu Yingjiao, but she had no way to help her, "Sister Ying, take care of your body." Yin Hong can only sincerely persuade her.

Qu Yingjiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded slightly.

Seeing her respond like this, Yin Hong was already happy in her heart, and then went with Zhang Yanxi.

At this time, Zhuang Yuncheng was lighting incense and burning paper in front of the coffin in front of the spirit, Zhang Yanxi came over and also lit three pillars of incense and burned some paper.

When they were done, they came out together, and saw that the pit in front of them had almost been dug, and they felt that once this person died, he would disappear from the world and sleep in the ground.

Zhang Yanxi said: "Yun Cheng, this is Yingjiao's most difficult time, I have time to help her more." ”

"I know."

"Her relatives may not know her as well as you, and she needs to be accompanied."

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded, and Fluttershy helped Qu Yingjiao over.

"When is the coffin set?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked.

"Twelve."

Several people looked up at the sun, it should be almost there.

After twelve o'clock, Qu Tianlin's coffin had fallen to the ground and was landfilled, and Qu Yingjiao shed a few more tears.

At this time, one of her brothers came and told her to go back to rest, and Zhuang Yuncheng and the others also advised: "Let your brothers deal with these aftermaths, let's go back first, and when the cemetery is completed, Fluttershy and I will accompany you." ”

Qu Yingjiao tearfully agreed.

At noon, many people went home, Zhuang Yuncheng persuaded Qu Yingjiao to go to her house, she said that she was unlucky, and resolutely refused, Zhuang Yuncheng had to let Xiaodie accompany her home, and she hurriedly ate some food, worried that something would happen in the factory, and went to the factory.

After a few days, Chen Nian did not openly ask Zeng Fu to tell him where Chen Qi'er was, he secretly followed Zeng Fu from time to time, and learned about Zhuang Yuncheng's residence, he thought that this would be the place where he had the greatest chance to meet Chen Qi'er, so he often paid attention to here.

If the saying "hard work pays off" can be applied to Chen Nian, he will definitely feel like this, because today, when he went to Zhuang Yuncheng's house, he met his sister Chen Qi'er, and the previous lessons made him learn to be smart, although he saw Chen Qi'er passing in front of him in a small foreign car, he did not immediately stop her, but followed all the way. The only benefit of being a ruffian and being chased by others from an early age may be that he has developed his endurance for long runs, and he can run at almost the same speed as the coachman without being uncomfortable. About a quarter of an hour, Chen Qi'er got off in front of Zhuang Yuncheng's house, she knew that today was the weekend, Beiyan was fine, and Yun Yun was also at home, so she had time to play with Yun Yun.

After getting out of the car, she put Xiaobao on the ground and led him in. Chen Nian didn't dare to enter Zhuang Yuncheng's house at this time, he could only find a place to sit at the vendor opposite, staring at Zhuang Yuncheng's door, and when Chen Qi'er went home, he would be able to find her residence by following her again, and it would be convenient to find her again if there was anything in the future.

The weather began to warm up in March, but after all, it was the end of winter, and its residual cold air was used for the last time before it disappeared, sweeping through the city of Beijing with the breath of spring.

"Sister, take pity on your brother, come out quickly......" Chen Nian got up and jumped up, so that his toes and toes would not be cold and tearing.

"Buy a roasted sweet potato, man?" The vendor next to him asked.

"Don't buy it." Chen Nian shook his head, but he wanted to hold the hot sweet potato in his hand first, and then swallow it in one gulp, but he had no money, he only covered food and accommodation in the factory, and every penny he earned would be the one who injured him.

After another hour, Chen Nian finally saw two people appear at the gate, and one was Xiaobao in his arms. Chen Qier didn't call a foreign car, because it was a waste of money, and she felt too cold, so she would rather walk home, but it was only about forty minutes.

Chen Nian followed all the way, but Chen Qi'er was not alert, nor did she notice it at all.

In front of the apartment building, Chen Nian was horrified, "This is too magnificent!" He was surprised, and then he became jealous and hateful, and scolded angrily: "Chen Qi'er, my own sister, I have made a fortune to live in such a house, but your brother and I can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, and live in a shabby house in the factory!" You have no conscience! ”

He scolded in his heart, seeing Chen Qi'er enter the first floor, he looked at it from afar, still hesitating to enter.

"Why can't you enter!" Chen Nian made up his mind to say to himself, "My mother and I have never treated you badly since we were children, you don't repay you now, you live in the city by yourself, and abandon your brother and father and mother in the mountain village, unfilial!" ”

Chen Nian followed up angrily, but Chen Qier still didn't notice it.

It was almost noon, and as soon as she got up to freshen up and feel stuffy in the house, she went to the small flower bed in front of the house to breathe fresh air, and saw a person sneaking towards this side, and she was about to walk to the gate of the front court of the North Rock apartment.

"Qi'er—" Katoriko shouted towards the North Rock Gate.

Chen Qi'er just went in, heard the sound and came out again, and saw Chen Nian walking to the door.

Chen Nian's heart was still empty, but he couldn't dodge, and he was at a loss for a while, so he had to be stunned in place.

"Who is this man?" Katoriko asked.

Chen Qi'er's head was buzzing, there was joy, there was more worry, it was fear, there was also hatred, there were too many feelings mixed, Chen Qi'er was stunned, she didn't hear Katoriko's words at all, she couldn't believe that her brother suddenly appeared here!

She walked over and asked, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

Chen Nian prepared a lot of words to scold her, but she had forgotten it by this time, "I...... I'm coming to see you. He stammered softly.

Chen Qi'er didn't believe his words at all, she only shook her head, only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter, "You shouldn't come, you can't come." She said heavily, "Get out of here." ”

Such heartless words made Chen Nian angry, and he immediately changed his face.

"Brother, is there no money? I'll get it. Chen Qi'er turned around and ran into the house and opened the drawer, these money and gifts were given by Brother Yuncheng's family and Beiyan during the New Year, although it was not much, but the friendship was heavy, she pestle, bit her lip, and suddenly grabbed a money bag with her hovering hand.

Xiaobao was playing, and suddenly cried, Chen Qier couldn't take care of him, squatted down and coaxed, "Xiaobao, don't cry, mom will come back." Then he got up and went out. Xiaobao cried even more when she saw this, Chen Qier just wanted to pass the old man away quickly, and didn't look back at him.

Beiyan was discussing things with Rong Cangsuke in the study, and when he heard such a cry, he was puzzled, but whenever Xiaobao cried, Chen Qier would coax her, but now why let her cry?

"Qi'er—" Beiyan shouted twice to the door of the study, but no one answered, so he signaled to Rong Cangsuke, who then went upstairs from the house and went back to his study.

Beiyan opened the door and walked to the hall, only to see Xiaobao crying and walking towards the door with heavy steps.

"Where's Mom?" Beiyan went over to pick up Xiaobao and asked him, his crying became smaller, his face was facing the door, Beiyan hugged him and walked out of the door, just went out, and saw Chen Qier, Xiangtorizi, and a stranger at the gate.

Chen Qi'er was stuffing money to Chen Nian, but Katoriko stopped her and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"My brother, it's my own brother," Chen Qi'er looked at Xiangzhizi, her eyes were full of pity and said, "Sister, don't embarrass him." ”

Katoriko was disgusted when she saw that once this person saw the money, he changed his face faster than turning a book, but Chen Qi'er said this, and she didn't care.

Chen Nian took the money, grinned, and wanted to say a few words to her, but he didn't leave yet.

"Brother, let's go, you must not come in the future, sister, please beg you." Chen Qi'er was so anxious that her eyes were red, she knew this brother's temperament, she was afraid that he would not listen, and wanted to kneel down to persuade him, but Katoriko was busy supporting her.

"What for—" Beiyan shouted.

Chen Qi'er's heart melted like snow, and her thoughts were emptied at this moment.

"Who is he? You just kneel to him? Kitaiwa approached, and Eikurasuke and Fujitawara Takeshi each heard it in the house, so they stuck their heads out to look, and curiosity drove them all downstairs to come and see.

Chen Qi'er looked at Beiyan in a daze, speechless.

"Who is he?" Chen Nian was very curious when he saw Beiyan coming out of Chen Qi'er's room, but it was not Zeng Lu.

Beiyan was taken aback, knowing that this person must have known Zeng Lu.

Chen Qi'er had to shake her head desperately at Chen Nian, wanting him not to ask.

"Who is he?" Chen Nian still asked.

"He's Alu."

Chen Nian took a closer look, shook his head, and said, "Don't lie to me, he's not." ”

"He's Zeng Lu." Eikurasuke walked over and said indifferently.

"It's not Zeng Lu, I know Zeng Lu, why are you pretending to be my brother-in-law?"

No one here answered him, five pairs of eyes here were staring at him, and in Beiyan's eyes, he saw indifference; From Chen Qi'er's eyes, he saw fear; In Katoriko's eyes, he saw worry, and in the eyes of Takeshi Fujitawara, he saw contempt; From Eikurasuke's eyes, he saw the killing intent!

"What do you want to do?" Chen Nian unconsciously took a step back, because Rong Cangjie in front of him was as evil as a tiger, and his eyes were like a sword.

"Sister, I'll go first." Chen Nian ran away, and Eikurasuke only gave Takeshi Fujitawara a look.

Chen Qi'er hadn't reacted yet, and she was relieved to see that Beiyan and the others didn't embarrass him.

"Don't!" Katoriko shook her head and said, "He's Qi'er's brother, he can't." ”

Beiyan was very surprised, and glanced at Rong Cangsuke, who walked up to Beiyan and whispered, "If this person is not removed, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”

"I can't." Beiyan disagreed, "He's a reckless man, what do you know?" ”

"Sir—"

"So," Beiyan asked Chen Qi'er, "did you give him money?" ”

"Hmm."

"Give him some more money, so that he will rot everything that happened today in his stomach, and he must not mention it to anyone, and he will definitely not come here again in the future," Beiyan said to Chen Qi'er again, "Qi'er, you can't see him in the city in the future." ”

Chen Qi'er had mixed thoughts, only hesitated for a moment, and Rong Cangsuke said: "If you think this is embarrassing for you, Mr. will naturally allow you to go back to your hometown and give you a monthly fee, but don't come to the city in the future." ”

"It's not-" Chen Qi'er instantly felt her face burn, and suddenly turned crimson, and hurriedly said, "I promise...... Don't let me go back. ”

"Another point, Mr. Beiyan is not a vault here, and if he dares to come and ask for money again with the threat of what he knows, then he will cut off his own back road."

Chen Qi'er nodded fiercely.

"In this way, Fujita, you accompany Qi'er to see him one last time, give him the money, and make what needs to be said clear." Beiyan said, "We don't know where he lives, so you go over and intercept him first, so you don't find him later." ”

"Yes."

Fujitawara Takeshi followed, and Bei Yan gave some more money and asked Chen Qi'er to give it to her brother, Chen Qi'er was grateful, and she couldn't express it, she just hoped that her brother would listen to her words, and she had received too much favor from Beiyan, and she just wanted to repay them wholeheartedly.

Chen Nian was overjoyed to get so much money all of a sudden, and Chen Qi'er told him that he didn't care too much, just coping with the promise. On the same day, he paid off the lost work and treatment expenses of the beaten man, quit his job in the factory and went away, thinking about having fun for a few days and then going home, earning face in the village, building a house, marrying the girl he liked at the head of the village, and no one gossiped about him anymore! Thinking like this, my heart was full of joy, and I walked happily, looking at the hot roasted sweet potato, I bought two and held them in my hand, and then disappeared without a trace.
