Erni also washed her face and came over, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw her father lying on the ground, "Dad! What's wrong with you, Dad! Immediately panicked, screamed and pounced, shook her father's body vigorously, and shouted loudly!

She thought that her father was just doing carpentry and sharpened his hands, how could he ask a doctor in the town, and her father lay on the ground and did not move!

Yun Erni shouted too loudly, crying there and calling her father.

Gu Liu couldn't stop it if he wanted to, and because men and women couldn't kiss her, he had to persuade her to be quieter on the side.

The ground outside was wet and slippery, and Si Ni leaned against the wall and cautiously came over. Yun Dani was stunned and climbed into the wheelchair by herself, turning around to this side, she couldn't go up the steps of the hut, she could only stay at the bottom of the steps and poke her neck in a hurry, and asked vigorously: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Gu Liu had no choice, he couldn't hide anything at this time, so he had to answer honestly: "Your father, he's gone." ”

After listening to Gu Liu's words, Yun Dani didn't mention it in one breath, and fainted in a wheelchair.

Sini didn't know what it meant to call her father dead, but she knew that the matter was very serious when she looked at the eldest sister, so she cried loudly and walked to Erniang's house while crying. shouted in his mouth: "Erniang! Erniang! They said Daddy was dead! The eldest sister also fainted! Erniang! ”

Seeing Sini report to her second mother's house, Gu Liu thought that she couldn't die and let the mother in the house have any accidents, and it just so happened that the doctor invited by Yun Erni was a gynecologist, but he was crooked. He pulled the doctor aside and asked, "Why don't you go to the house to see the pregnant woman first, you can't go alone, if there is any accident on the pregnant woman's side, we can't explain it to their family." ”

Dr. Li nodded hurriedly, although there are nine times out of ten that gynecology will kill people, especially in a small place like theirs, it is a blessing that the child can give birth safely, and there are countless ones who have fallen when they are pregnant, but a responsible doctor should be in line with the original intention of treating diseases and saving people.

Summoned the little medicine boy and told him to stay here to help, and he picked up the medicine box and went to Erniang's house.

Seeing that the doctor was leaving, Yunxiu was gone, her father was lying here, at this time, the doctor had the possibility of saving her father in her father, if the doctor left, who would save her father, desperately pulling Dr. Li's medicine box to prevent him from leaving.

"Doctor! Doctor! You save my father! Please, doctor! Help my dad! ……”

With Gu Liu's help, Dr. Li broke free of his sleeves from Yun Xiu's hand, and he couldn't care about anything else when he lifted the medicine box, so he pulled out his legs and ran to Erniang's room......

Gu Liu looked at the little medicine boy who was holding Yun Xiu in front of him, and Doctor Li who fled out of the door in a hurry, and couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes, this doctor invited by Yun Erni was very enthusiastic.

Seeing that the doctor had run away, Yun Xiu got up from the ground and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the little medicine boy behind him.

She struggled against the door frame of the hut, trying to call the doctor back, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the village chief and a few people from the village coming over to help Carpenter Yun rein.

Under the persuasion of the village chief and the aunts who came to hear the news, Yun Xiu cried bitterly, and the village chief came out to cover the coffin, and had to accept the reality that Yun Carpenter died unfortunately.

The rules of Suzhuang Village are that if someone dies in the family, they must stop in the courtyard for three days before they can be sent, and during the three days, they must cry for filial piety, and they must invite people from the village to come to the house to eat a three-day flowing water feast.

When Carpenter Yun was alive, he was very popular in the village, and when he had an accident, the people in the village were willing to come to his house to help. The money for the banquet was taken out by Gu Liu, the Yun family had no men to support the family, only a few women were left to guard the house, and the aunts and aunts in the village more or less came over to help with it.

Erniang's body was heavy, lying in the house with a big belly, Dani and Erni both fainted due to excessive fright, and they haven't woken up yet. The only people in the family who can come out to take charge are Yunxiu and Si Ni.

Yun Carpenter has no son, and Dani is inconvenient for her legs and feet, so the job of guarding the spirit can only be arranged down to Yun Erni, who is the least courageous, but unfortunately Erni is also in bed with Dani. Lying on it.

Yunxiu is the only one who can come out to preside over the matter, there is really no way, the work of filial piety can only be handed over to Sini.

Sini still doesn't understand what aunts and aunts mean when they say that her father is gone, she should come back in winter. Just like the sugar in her sugar jar, when it was almost summer, it was almost gone, and in winter, the small jar was held in her hand, and when she shook it gently, there was a pleasant clanging sound, and a jar of sugar cubes came back.

Although Sini is young, she has a deep ability to look at people's faces, she sees others kneeling down and crying, she kneels there and cries, even more sad than others cry. There are elderly grandmothers in the village, and when they saw it, they were so moved that they felt distressed, and they held Sini in their arms and praised her for being sensible and filial.

By the time it got dark at night, Yunxiu had already slowed down.

Her father is gone, Erniang can't get out of bed again, the eldest sister and the second sister can't count on it, and there are a lot of things inside and outside the family that are pointed to her to arrange and deal with, and she has to stand up if anyone falls down at this time.

wiped his tears, and with the help of the village chief, Yun Xiu also arranged it properly.

During the day, Yun Xiu's mind was still a little confused, but in the evening, the big guys went home in twos and threes, and when the light wind blew, his head was sober.

Gu Liu handed over warm water: "Take a sip, it's been a day before and after you run." "The little girl suddenly grew up in one day, a little girl who was delicate and weak before, and today she has been busy all day without touching the ground since noon, and she is not tired of shouting at this time, and she clearly saw her standing body shaking just now.

Yunxiu took the water and drank it all, in the muddy afternoon, her mind has always been chaotic, she doesn't know what she said and doesn't know what she is doing, just according to what the village chief said, let the shouting people call people, and when they see the mourners, they kneel on the ground and kowtow to others, thank you for coming all the way to cry for her father.

Yes, her father is dead, she will be an adult in the family from today, and the responsibility of supporting the family in the future will be counted as her, she still has the eldest sister to take care of, the fourth sister to raise as an adult, and the one in the belly of the second mother, which is also her relative with blood and bones.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiu looked at Gu Liu in confusion and asked, "Master, I will no longer be a child from now on, right?" ”

Gu Liu pursed his lips, he didn't know how to answer, he wanted to shake his head and tell her that it wasn't, but she would have to take care of her family in the future, and he wouldn't believe it himself.

Reached out and touched her hair, and said softly: "Our Yunxiu has grown up and is strong, but in front of me as an old man, you will always be a little child, if I get married earlier......"

His words amused Yun Xiu, this person is always like this, obviously very serious things, always talking about things is not serious.

After saying a few words, Yun Xiu thought about going to the well to fetch water to wash her face, and her brain could be clearer after passing through the cold water, but she didn't want to finish washing her face, but she heard the sound of rustling in Erniang's room, there were many people in the yard, and she couldn't really hear it, and looked at the light and shadow, the person had a bun combed on the top of his head, not like a woman.

Yun Xiu couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Erniang is the only daughter in the family, and she has also seen their family's peer aunts, and she doesn't have cousins or anything, and the relatives who came are also a few elderly elders in the clan, who personally sent out the door not long ago, why did this person go to Erniang's boudoir at night?

"Yunxiu! Come on, your Uncle Song Jiu is going back, you come to deliver ......," the village chief shouted outside the door.

When relatives who are far away eat a flowing water mat and want to go home, someone from the family has to come and send it to the door, which is the rule of Suzhuang Village.

Hearing the old people say that if the family loses the rules in white affairs, the deceased will not be at peace when he is buried, which is a big deal, Yun Xiu wiped her hands on her clothes, and hurried to the door to send Uncle Song Jiu.

It wasn't until it was dark that the guests were gone, and the village chief and the others had also gone back, that Yun Xiu had the time to sit down and take a breath.

Sini was already tired of crying in the mourning hall, wearing a mourning dress, with a white horned hat buttoning most of her face, and fell asleep in Aunt Zhao's arms.

When Yunxiu's family had not moved to the halfway up the mountain, they were neighbors with Aunt Zhao's mother's family, at that time Yunxiu and her mother were still alive, and the relationship between the two families was close.

On a sunny afternoon, I knew that I was noisily showing off my skills in the trees, and the village was quiet and empty, so I found my aunt and her sister to sit under the grapevines in the yard, one holding an embroidery piece, with a sewing basket at her feet, and Si Ni slept sweetly in the shade in the small bed on the side, and the big yellow dog at home knew that it was quiet, and slept on its paws with its eyes closed.

Every time Yun Xiu saw this scene, her eyes were crooked with a smile, her parents were loving, the family was harmonious, although she was poor, as long as the family was happy, life would get better one day. Sometimes Yun Dani came back early from working in the field, and would sit in front of her with a small bench and learn how to embroider from her mother.

Those childhood memories, after so many years, have always been the most beautiful scene in Yun Xiu's heart.

Because of the previous friendship, Aunt Zhao also loves Yunxiu and her sisters from the bottom of her heart.

The carpenter's children are injured, they are small, Erni is still old, but she has no backbone, only Yunxiu has some ideas, and she is still a person who works outside, and in the days to come, Sini will follow her stepmother and don't know how to live.

The carpenter newly married this daughter-in-law, if she is willing to take a few children to stay up for a few years and then remarry, if she leaves as soon as the stomach hits the ground, whether she takes the one she gave birth to or not, Yunxiu and her four sisters, who have no father and no mother in the future, will look down on the in-laws, not to mention Dani's situation, life is sad.

I don't know how her old sister would feel if she knew underground and saw a few children in such a situation now.

In these years, it is difficult for good people to have good fortune.

"Auntie, I'll come" Yunxiu stretched out her hand to pick up the sleeping Si Ni, but was rejected by Aunt Zhao: "It's okay, the child is very light, I'll just hold it." Yunxiu, you're tired all day, go rest for a while, take a breath, and keep vigil at night. ”

The rule here in Suzhuang Village is that there must be a filial son to keep vigil at night, and the next day as soon as the rooster crows, the filial son will be the first to sit there and start crying, and the louder he cries, the greater the blessing of the deceased. Yun Xiu thought about it, so she went to the side and found a chair to sit down and rest.

Gu Liu stayed to help Yun Xiu take care of some of the male guests in the family during the day, but it was already dark after he was busy, so he didn't go back. Seeing that Yunxiu was idle, Gu Liu came over, put his feet on the taller flower bed, and asked, "Are you tired?" ”

He is a big man who is a little too busy for a day, not to mention that she is a little girl, although she is sharp and sharp on weekdays, but how can she still be as sharp as before. His eyes were full of exhaustion, and his face was full of sadness and pathos.
