Hysteria (1) (175)
Winter is over.
Spring is coming.
The dead died.
The living live.
The dead are gone, and the living are like us.
The days of the phoenix dance and the phoenix soar calmly, never stop because of all the things in the world, but people hide in this black and white gap and let the tedious and bumpy life, limited to the difference between busy and lazy perception of life.
A few days after burying her father-in-law, Liu Xingmei was relieved from laziness and sleepiness, she said: "This funeral, I have been busy for several days, and there is less time to settle down, I am really busy like a sheep about to drop a lamb!"
If it was left when his father was alive before, Tao Zhenkun would definitely have to ridicule the last two sentences, but now he is still immersed in the pain of losing his father. He saw that Liu Xingmei's words were blurted out unintentionally, and he didn't seem to be complaining, so he didn't mind blaming her. For the death of her father-in-law, she also cried snot, and her grief was beyond words, she was not a ruthless and unrighteous person! Liu Xingmei's Zhang Zhang Luoluo, who was busy running around and around, was really heartfelt, thoughtful and proper, he saw it in his eyes and was grateful. Liu Xingmei was appreciated by the villagers for obvious reasons. Especially under the praise of Mrs. Wu, others feel that there is nothing to be faulty, and they are all convinced.
Fortunately, he didn't find fault with her, otherwise in the case of the articulate Liu Xingmei, even if she didn't complain, she was full of complaints. If she had opened the conversation, he wouldn't have gotten any good fruit to eat! Looking at Liu Xingmei, who was swollen and swaying, his heart was very loving. Who's to say it's not, both of them are like big-eyed lights.
Liu Xingmei said: "My father is gone, I'm afraid my mother will have to be brave in a hurry." Her appearance is really not optimistic, she doesn't eat or drink, and it looks like she's going to get seriously ill! This doesn't look at the dead but the living, in the future, the two of us have to teach her well, otherwise if Daddy Quanxia knows, he won't be at ease!"
When Tao Zhenkun heard this, he was moved to cry.
Neither of them wants to add another person to that big coffin too soon!
At noon on the day of the funeral, Tao Zhenkun wanted to toast and kowtow to the table, but Liu Xingmei said something unexpected to others on the side:
"Although there is no good food and no good rice, the wine is the wine of the Lin family, the dish is the famous pork stewed vermicelli in our northeast, and the rice is steamed bread and millet porridge, but the big guys also want the people to be full and drink, and you have worked hard in the past two days, but don't pinch your hungry stomach, your eyes are big and your mouth is small, and you can't eat food (not enough). Old lady Wu had already appreciated the words, and even the four young masters did not bother to ask, and with the help of the neighbors, they didn't do anything different. People live for a reason, and I am here to thank you on behalf of the Tao family! I can't bear the pain of losing my father, and everyone will become stupid. I didn't ask him about the general matter, I made my own decisions. I am young and do not understand accidents, if there is any inconsiderateness, I hope you will forgive me. My father's funeral also wants to be handled in a beautiful way, which is more decent and seems to be filial. But you must also know the situation in my family, there is a saying that 'a poor child cannot be buried rich', and you want to be faced, but you can't do anything glorious without money! To put it mildly, when Zhenkun and I got married, there was a famine, and now the old and the young have not been repaid. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to owe a little famine, but when the family was lined up and caught off guard, not to mention that we were a small family, it was naturally inevitable to borrow money! I thought that as long as I lived a good life, everything could be solved. Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, and my father was seriously ill again, and the old debt was not repaid but a new debt was added. When he was alive, he was afraid of adding debts to his family, but this man was sick and could not be cured. Thanks to my father's kindness and good popularity, I can shut up anyone who asks for it. But rest assured, the Tao family is definitely not a person who does not repay the debt, and it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again. Today, I will leave the words here first, people do not die and debts are not rotten, and the debts of the father and the son are repaid, which is also a matter of course. It's just that others don't open their mouths to ask for it, but our hearts are not happy! I shouldn't have mentioned this today, but I still said it, so that the people who helped the Tao family have a spectrum in their hearts. When my father was alive, he also gave an account of the money he owed to someone's family. So, please take care of yourself. My father is gone, but our mother and son still have to live a good life in the future, and when the future life is good, it will also be a comfort and explanation for his spirit in the sky. If there is a day when I am rich, I will invite you all to come, and you will be entertained with four dishes and eight bowls, and you will have a good meal and drink to show your gratitude!"
(She made a wish in front of everyone, but when the days that followed, she really had it, but she didn't have this mood anymore!)
Isn't there such a saying: a good man is out of the mouth, and a good horse is out of the leg. This is really very reasonable, as far as Liu Xingmei's mouth is concerned, the head is the Tao, it is simply exquisite, and it has to be admired from the bottom of my heart, and it is worth a thumbs up.
What made Tao Zhenkun almost unacceptable was that his well-behaved father would suddenly become seriously ill, and his life would be devoured by the disease in just a few months. For him now, his father is like a lost scenery in his eyes, he can only look for it with his thoughts, but he can no longer look for it, and he can only touch the past over and over again with the help of his thoughts in helplessness, and feel its warmth and bitterness!
Anyway, on this day, Qiu Lanzhi stood alone in front of the cabinet, facing a small mirror, looking at herself in the mirror looking stupid and stupid, would she be admiring her haggard face?
"Brother Qisheng, I had a dream, it was a good dream, in the dream I saw Xingmei give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, we have grandchildren and granddaughters, they are all very beautiful and cute. So I'm going to tell you about it, and you'll be happy to hear it, right?"
She was talking to herself in a mirror, and she was smiling as she spoke, but her expression was so stiff and weird that it made people feel furious when they looked at it.
Liu Xingmei, who was listening from the side, was a little numb and had goosebumps, but she was still willing to continue listening. The mother-in-law's babbling was like a nonsense, but she thought it was like a dream she had before, and she also dreamed that she had given birth to two children, a boy and a girl. If that were the case, it would be the happiest thing for her.
"What, what are you talking about? Will this village not exist in the future? What's going on? This- how is this possible? You-you don't mess with me! In this life, there are some things that you have fooled me about, I don't believe it!"
“————————”
"What, you said the devil would come here?"
Hiding on the edge of the kang, stood quietly Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei.
At this time, Liu Xingmei was quite curious, so she couldn't help but quietly stepped forward to see what would be in the mirror that her mother-in-law was facing. Unexpectedly, Qiu Lanzhi, who was discovered, grabbed the mirror and hid it in her arms, and turned her head to her and said angrily: "Don't peek!" Look, you've scared your dad away! If he doesn't come back, you'll blame you!"
Liu Xingmei didn't mind her mother-in-law's reproach, but was thinking about what she saw in the mirror, and in the blurred image, it was determined that it would not be the face of the mother-in-law she was facing, the outline was vaguely familiar, but it flashed in the mirror. She panicked in her heart, and came to Tao Zhenkun and muttered with a disgraced face: "I seem to have really seen my father in the mirror!"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is scaring yourself, there's something wrong with your mother, I think you have to follow the demon!"
Hearing Tao Zhenkun say this, Liu Xingmei began to wonder if she was dazzled, or because of the mysterious influence of her mother-in-law.
People and ghosts have different paths, and there will be tacit communication between people and ghosts, and between the living and the dead.
"It's a bad dish!"
"What's wrong?"
"There's dry food in the pot, and I smell mush!" Liu Xingmei hurriedly turned around and went out.
Tao Zhenkun sighed helplessly.
What he didn't know was that Liu Xingmei had been trying to find out what the hidden thing would be on her mother-in-law's body by either washing clothes or catching lice in these days, but she never found anything!
