CHAPTER XVII

Erwa's father has been suffering from bronchial disease for a long time, and he is only in his sixties, and he can't breathe after taking a few quick steps.

This time, I went to the street to grab medicine, and when I came back, I took Yan Laosi's tractor, and I was bumpy all the way, and my condition worsened, and I had difficulty breathing when I went back.

After learning about the situation, the second baby immediately drove home, and the way home was uneven due to frequent rain, which was crushed by the tractor, and there was a lot of water in some places. The chassis of the second baby is relatively low, and there are places where you can't get by at all. Fortunately, Sanmao and Zhang Haiping followed, and they also brought tools in the car. It's very hard to walk while repairing.

The car can only drive a little in front of the scrivener's house, and after the second baby stops the car, she gets out of the car and runs. The branch secretary saw that the second baby rarely came back, and hurried home, thinking that something must have happened, and the branch secretary explained a few words to the mother-in-law and then chased after him.

Unfortunately, when the second child arrived home, her father was lying upright on the bed, closing his eyes forever.

The second baby was stunned, and suddenly his mind was blank, when he went over and shook his father, but there was no reaction at all, he used a little more force, but there was still no reaction.

He was about to stretch out his other hand, wanting to shake his sleeping father awake with both hands, Yan's mother grabbed the second baby's hands and cried: Baby, what are you doing, he is gone!

The second baby seemed to have just returned to reality at this time, her nose was sore for a while, her legs were weak, and tears flowed down like a flood that had leaked the gates......

Although the second child didn't come back much, he took his father to the city hospital twice, and the doctor repeatedly told him to pay attention to rest, quit smoking and alcohol. Farmers who have been fortunate all their lives have always been idle, and they can't stop smoking and drinking. Erwa and his family have persuaded him many times, but he either doesn't want to listen to it, or he can't quit.

Erwa often sends people to deliver food and drink to the family, and once it is delivered, it is half a truck. The second baby of grain said to the family that he would plant less and buy it if he didn't have enough, but for the farmers who had been digging in the soil for generations, it was impossible to put down the work in his hands and enjoy the blessings. They still go out early and return late, and they have a lot of work to do, and the nutritional products that the second child bought are also piled up, and they can't send them to relatives and friends.

According to local rural customs, this is September, and their Mao family is taboo in March and September, that is, people who die in March and September cannot enter the soil, and this period must be passed. But fortunately, this is the end of the month, and there are three or four days left before September passes.

Please Mr. Yin and Yang, set the cemetery, etc., since you can't enter the soil and bury it by then, then play gongs and drums for three days and three nights to spend the soul of the dead, and let my father go in a beautiful way.

Erwa greeted her family and people who helped with the work, everything was the best, tobacco and alcohol should be used in the local high-end, and her subordinates pulled dozens of quilts from the street to the people who kept vigil at night, everything was arranged according to the high standards that Erwa said. The small mountain village is very lively at this time, and there are a lot of people who come and go on the road. This is really in response to the old saying: no one asks if you are poor in the downtown area, and you have distant relatives in the mountains when you are rich!

Generally, whether it is a funeral or a happy event here, on the first day, the people from the neighbors and the same village have to come over to help arrange, kill pigs and sheep, prepare materials, and rough process the banquet for two days. Generally, the place where the person is buried should be taken care of in advance, and it is a certain distance from home, the top of the mountain or the slope or something. The grave had to be dug out early, so it was a busy day. The second day is called 'Break', and the banquet materials are average, and the third day is the so-called 'main wine', because on this day there are many people from the farthest away and the largest flow of people, and the banquet is also devoted to the best of all.

The second baby wore linen and filial piety, knelt in front of the two sisters with her hands on the filial piety stick, and listened to Mr. Yin Yang shaking the bell and chanting the words of sending the dead that ordinary people could not understand. In an ancestral hall dedicated to the deceased, the photographs of the deceased are surrounded by wreaths made of white paper and red paper, and incense burns.

For three days and three nights, the second baby didn't know how many times to kneel and worship, and whenever Mr. Yin and Yang's mouth began to read, the filial son and filial grandson had to kneel in front of the spirit first. Erwa thought: This is what I owe my father, I did not fulfill my filial piety during his old man's lifetime, I hope my sincerity can make you feel at ease in the spirit of heaven, and go all the way!

Three or four days passed, and the old man finally settled in the ground. The second baby is also exhausted, and she really wants to sleep hard. But this is not over, and in the end, the people who have to accompany the village to help together in the past few days are called 'Xie Huozi people' to show their help in the past few days.

Erwa is the only son in the family, and he should replace his two sisters to toast the villagers. The second baby wants to drink, and must drink. In the end, it is conceivable that the second baby drank too much. In fact, he seems to want to get himself drunk, he is not a greedy person, but at this time he really wants to get drunk......

Everyone, the subconscious has his own spiritual pillar, and if the spiritual pillar collapses, he will have a sense of loneliness in the deepest part of his soul. The second baby is like this, when his father is alive, he will not feel how important his father is, but once his father really leaves him, the sense of dependence in his soul collapses. The image of his father's fortitude flashed in his mind from time to time, and from then on they separated yin and yang...... The heart is empty, and it feels like an empty shell body is moving.

Yan Ting saw the second baby's depressed mood, she tried her best to drop the work in her hand to talk to the second baby and joke with him, but the second baby always smiled and did not smile, and there was a deep sense of melancholy.

In the past few days, he has regarded the trough as his home, and he runs to the trough when he has nothing to do, and sometimes he stays in the tent alone for a long time.

On this day, Wu Yue heard that he was alone in the tent, so she went to look for him. The second baby saw Wu Yue coming to her, although she was not particularly welcome, but she still forced a smile. He seems to have gotten used to solitude these days, and he feels that loneliness is sometimes a good thing.

After a few in-depth contacts, the two of them are no longer as restrained and a little awkward in saying a few words as they were at the beginning, and now they feel like brothers, without too much defense and taboos.

Wu Yue didn't want to mention the matter of the second baby's family, she just wanted to draw attention to other things. So he talked about a lot of other things, and he saw that the second baby's reaction was not very strong, so he said:

Is there alcohol? Let's have a drink.

The second baby nodded reluctantly, got up and went to the door of the tent and shouted out: Ask the fourth sister-in-law to get us some food to drink.

The fourth sister-in-law is Zhang Yin, the wife of the fourth baby, and the second baby is used to eating Zhang Yin's dishes, and he thinks that only the dishes she makes are the most suitable for his taste.

Zhang Yin has slowly walked out of the sadness of losing his four children. His tall figure appeared in the tent after a while: Erwa, what should you eat?

Looking at the sister-in-law who can get anything, Wu Yue and I will have a drink. The second baby didn't even look at her sister-in-law, and reached out to get the wine glass.

Zhang Yin glanced at Wu Yue unintentionally, and it happened that Wu Yue's eyes were also turning to Zhang Yin at this time. At this time, the two people were stunned in their hearts almost at the same time, and Wu Yue was secretly a little excited.

Wu Yue's appearance is dignified, Zhang Yin's noodles are slender, and anyone who sees it has an idea.

In fact, Wu Yue did have a lot of feelings at this time, and she suddenly had a lot of feelings, but to tell the truth, Zhang Yin and Wu Yue didn't feel much when they met for the first time. He just thought, why hasn't this person seen him? Why did he drink with the second baby?

Zhang Yin was indeed very nimble, and after a while, he used the existing materials to make a few side dishes, and asked Erwa: Is it enough, not enough to fry two more.

didn't wait for the second baby to open her mouth, Wu Yue hurriedly said: Enough is enough, why don't you eat together?

Eat, and I don't drink. After Zhang Yin finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Wu Yue couldn't wait to ask Erwa: What is this?

My fourth sister-in-law, the second baby didn't think much about it, and replied casually.

At this time, Wu Yue felt that she should comfort the second baby with a few words: People can't be resurrected after death, if you want to open a point, the past will pass, we have to live well?

The second baby seemed to remember something, and took a sip of wine: Come, do half of it......

Wu Yue returned to the tent and couldn't sleep for a long time, he couldn't sleep because of the noise of the machine in the trough, he was used to this. But Zhang Yin's figure kept shaking in front of his eyes, and he faintly felt in his heart: This is the person I am looking for.

To be honest, people's emotions cannot be measured and defined by time, some people may not be able to enter each other's hearts in their lifetime, and some people can rest assured with an action or a sentence in a moment!

After leaving, Wu Yue always looked for opportunities to run into the second baby's groove twice in three days, and if Zhang Yin was not there, he would have an inexplicable sense of loss.

In fact, Wu Yue also knew that he was already the father of a six-year-old baby, but he still couldn't stop his heart beating for Zhang Yin.

One day, Wu Yue made a request to Erwa: I hope to lend Zhang Yin to him in the trough for a few days, cook a few meals for the workers, and let the workers have a good meal. Erwa must not refuse this request, Erwa said to Wu Yue: You have to ask your sister-in-law about this, as long as she agrees, I have no problem.

No one thought that Zhang Yin refused in one bite: Don't go.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Wu Yue continued: If you don't go, I have to come to you every day to eat.

Zhang Yin didn't care what he said, he went to do something else.

Men are often like this, what is easy to get, will not be cherished, and what is not easy to get is often difficult to get in bed.

Just because Zhang Yin didn't care and was indifferent again and again, Wu Yue's heart itched more and more day by day, and he secretly swore that he must get her.
