Chapter III
Su Honglin returned to the room, only to see her mother sitting in front of her sister's cradle with straight eyes, holding a Bai Ling in her hand, the expression on her face was very desperate, she was shocked, her mother didn't want to go to a dead end, although her mother lived well in her previous life, but who knows if there has been a change?
Su Honglin's face became even more pale, she threw herself on her mother and cried, Mom, you must not do anything stupid, if you don't leave the two sisters, you will really become orphans.
As Su Honglin cried, her sister also cried in the cradle, her mother's eyes began to turn, listening to the crying of the two daughters, she threw Bai Ling in her hand to the place, hugged Honglin in grief and cried, and only heard the sobbing sound of their mother and daughter for a while.
"Honglin doesn't cry, don't worry, mom must live well for you." Mother let go of Su Honglin and hugged her sister in the cradle, as if talking to herself, as if she was talking to Su Honglin.
Su Honglin listened to her words, only then did she feel that her back was all wet, and she sat on the ground with her butt and couldn't get up.
At this time, the commotion outside sounded again: "Didn't you ask for money?" You go and ask for it, you go and ask for it. ”
"Is it wrong to borrow money to pay it back? If he wants to find his own way to die, you will blame me, you come, come, who is not afraid of death. The man's voice was not small at all.
"You're still so arrogant, you smash it." His uncle's angry voice provoked him.
Su Honglin listened, shrunk into her mother's arms, and her mother was busy hugging her tightly, and she didn't dare to smoke for a while.
"What are you doing here, Su Haichu, you are still a village cadre, why don't you let go of people quickly." A loud roar was followed by a chaotic sound.
"Secretary Shi, you must be the master for me, look at it, they have harmed me like this." The sound of the ghost crying wolf came out, Su Honglin broke away from his mother's embrace, and wanted to go outside to see, what was wrong?
The mother carefully put her sister down, took her hand and came to the door, only to see that there were many people outside, Su Honglin couldn't see what was happening at all, but the aunt walked in, saw the two of them standing at the door, and hurriedly pulled them in.
Soon the noisy voice came to the back, thinking that it was going to the uncle's house, and the chanting of several Taoist priests resumed in the hall outside.
"Wen Yue, it's the Su family who is sorry for you, but for the sake of the two children, you must be strong." The aunt sat down on the edge of the bed again, looked at the lifeless brother and sister, and comforted.
"Sister, don't worry, I know." Mom listened to her words, raised her head, and she said firmly.
"Auntie, is your uncle okay?" Su Honglin asked worriedly.
"It's okay, they just found someone just now, and Secretary Shi came." The aunt patted her chest, "Honglin, thanks to your reminder, that man is holding a hoe in his hand, if you really let him swing it down, your uncle will lose a lot." ”
After listening to his aunt's words, Su Honglin's heart finally relieved that his uncle would not be injured this time, and he would not go to the hospital.
At this time, the Taoist priest outside was shouting, "Filial son welcomes guests." ”
The aunt took Su Honglin's hand and walked out of the room again, Su Honglin looked outside,
I saw a few people hurrying over, and in front of him was an old man of about sixty years old, his face was full of sadness, and he walked fast and hurriedly, and when he saw the corpse lying on the ground in the hall, one of them almost fell.
Su Honglin clearly recognized that he was his grandfather, there was not much difference between him and her memory, he was still so kind, but now he was full of sadness, and he heard his grandmother say that his father was very good to his grandfather in his previous life. Grandpa, they never thought that they would be separated so soon.
Followed by her grandmother, who was only in her fifties at that time, but her face was already full of wrinkles, crying breathlessly and being supported by a girl, Su Honglin knew that it was her aunt.
Maybe she heard her grandmother's voice, her mother walked inside and came out, she wore a white ling on her head, and when she saw her grandmother, she knelt in front of her grandmother and cried loudly in grief.
"My son, my miserable son, why are you so miserable." Grandma pushed away her aunt, hugged her mother in her arms and cried loudly.
Su Honglin knelt on the side, watching them hug their heads and cry, and tears fell down uncontrollably.
"Mourn, people can't be resurrected after death, don't cry in the Haiping family, you still have children to raise, don't be too sad, live for the living, hurry up and help your mother." A grandmother in her fifties next to her pulled her grandmother hard and persuaded her.
It's just that her eyes are also red, and her nose is shrunk and shrunk.
Su Honglin didn't know who she was anymore, but felt that she had a little impression that she should be their elder.
"Fourth aunt, how do you tell me to live?" Mom listened to her words and slowly stood up, but the cry turned from loud to low sobbing, and said with some despair.
After listening to her mother's words, she wiped her tears with her clothes and said, "There is no way to do it." Just sighed deeply after speaking, in such an era when everyone is poor, there are really few ways, but you always have to live.
"What the hell is going on?" A man following her grandmother asked aloud, his voice full of anger.
"Big brother, I can't tell you about this for a while, let's sit down first." The aunt hurriedly pointed to the stool outside the hall and said.
It's just that he didn't appreciate it at all, but shouted again, "What about Su Haichu and them?" This man is dead, why can't he see them? ”
Su Honglin had already guessed who he was, although there was a big change from his previous life, but she knew that he was the eldest uncle, and she could see his two Bao teeth in one mouth.
And he has a very quick temper, he gets angry easily, and he must be very angry when he sees this kind of scene.
At this moment, the uncle's roar came from behind, "Today, for Secretary Shi's face, don't worry about you, in the future, you'd better see our family walking around, and look for you as soon as something happens." ”
"If I'm unlucky, the money will be left for you to buy a coffin." Hearing the voice, the man walked down.
Hearing this, the uncle still didn't understand, the person who delivered the letter had already said something, coupled with such a conversation, he turned around and ran outside.
Seeing that he ran outside, the few who followed him also ran over.
Soon I heard the voice of 'help', the voice of persuasion, and the voice of the uncle and the secretary Shi.
The aunt pulled Su Honglin up and touched her knee with pity, as long as there are relatives coming, she will kneel, this is called filial piety to welcome guests, but she is too young, and no one asks her to greet her one by one.
Soon the uncle and they came in, and their faces were still angry, "Are you all ready?" ”
When my grandfather saw that the uncle had all come in, he asked with tears in his eyes.
My grandparents have been dead for a few years, and my grandfather is an elder, so of course I have to ask about this.
"The coffin has been bought, and it is ready to be buried tomorrow." Uncle said in a deep voice.
Now the weather is a little hot, and the corpse will stink after a long time, especially if it is taken medicine, and now there is already a smell in the hall.
"Tomorrow, then." Grandpa sighed deeply, as if he was several years old.
Mother and grandmother helped into the room, and Su Honglin was also hugged by her aunt, not daring to let her stay there for too long, for fear that she would be sick again.
Su Honglin lay on her aunt's body, and fell asleep quickly, and when she woke up again, it was already the middle of the night, she was lying on the bed, and there were bursts of crying in the hall outside, and her mother's voice was particularly sharp and grief-stricken.
"Hold her, she's going to faint." The aunt's voice sounded eagerly.
There was no mother's voice in the hall, Su Honglin thought that her mother must have fainted, she was in a hurry, hurriedly got up, and when she was about to jump out of bed, her uncle had already walked to the bed with her mother in her arms.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Honglin pounced on his mother.
"Honglin, get out of the way and let your mother sleep." Grandma also followed, and when she saw her pounce on her mother, she hurriedly grabbed her.
"Honglin, when you wake up, go and see your father off for the last time." The aunt's voice was even more hoarse, and her eyes kept flowing silently.
It turned out to be in the coffin, no wonder my mother cried so sadly, my father's body was put in the coffin, and the Taoist priest died after doing it, and he will never see the light of day.
Su Honglin was carried by her aunt to the coffin and looked at the people inside again, but the people inside were covered by the red silk cloth, and they couldn't see any of his faces at all.
The aunt cried and said, "Haiping, your daughter has come to see you, you have to bless her to grow up healthy and healthy." ”
Looking at the aunt who was crying sadly, Su Honglin fell into a daze, did she grow up healthy in her previous life? Why is she here again?
Seeing her stunned appearance, the aunt hurriedly hugged her in and put her beside her mother, Su Honglin looked at her mother, only to see that her face had no color at all, it was miserable and white, only a big dark circle under the eye socket. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, sobbing from time to time, crying even in her dreams.
"Honglin, you sleep." The aunt saw her sitting there in a daze, looking at her with some concern.
"Auntie, where's my sister?" My sister's cradle is gone, Su Honglin asked nervously.
In the previous life, my uncle and uncle persuaded my mother to give my sister to someone else to raise, but my mother and grandfather always opposed it, so my sister didn't send her away, so they wouldn't have taken this opportunity to send her away.
"Put it in your uncle's house, it's too noisy here, she can't sleep well, and my aunt will take you to see her tomorrow." The aunt touched her head and looked at her with pity.
After listening to her words, Su Honglin relieved himself, lay down beside his mother and closed his eyes.
