In the small yard, the life of the family is still the same, and the two children are often busy, making money and taking care of the old man, which are the two main lines that cannot be shaken.

Time passed day by day, in the blink of an eye it was a month and a half, the eggs that King Zhao bought back had been sold, or plus the two or three thousand that he went out to buy in the past two months, every time he went out, he would carry one or two back baskets, and at the same time buy eggs, he sold the two back baskets easily, because the old man had reached the last moment, he didn't dare to go out for too long.

The chickens that I bought back before have grown up and basically started to lay eggs, and I can pick up twenty or thirty a day, which can take six or seven days, and I can let Ye Xi toss all morning.

Later, King Zhao went out once, he found Uncle Wang in the countryside who used to buy a basket for his son's cousin, King Zhao discussed with him, let him help buy eggs in the countryside, and then let him help send them to Jixiang Lane, when Uncle Wang purchased, each egg was a piece of one, and after being sent to the small yard, King Zhao paid Uncle Wang a piece of four, so that he could earn more than 100 yuan every time he came, and it was not a loss.

With eggs, you can naturally continue to boil tea eggs every day to sell, Ye Xi goes out to sell tea eggs every morning and afternoon, and there are still more than 100 yuan a day, and King Zhao takes care of the old man inch by inch, whenever the old man falls asleep, he starts to make a basket, so that Uncle Wang, who comes to deliver eggs every time, can bring them back to the countryside to help sell.

Just today, the old man Yang next door came to the door and asked King Zhao if he had seen Yang Xiaoming.

It turned out that a few days ago, Yang Xiaoming and they had a summer vacation, and he came back, there was a great contradiction between the old man Yang and his daughter-in-law, so the daughter-in-law and the son who was a teacher did not come back, even on the phone, there was little contact, but in recent days, the school started, and the old man Yang's daughter-in-law called to urge Yang Xiaoming to go back to school, but the old man Yang was dumbfounded, because Yang Xiaoming had left more than a month ago, and at that time the old man Yang thought he was going back to the countryside. I went to my son's house, but it didn't.

After talking for a few minutes, Old Man Yang glanced at King Zhao strangely, and went out to find someone in a hurry, after all, he was a grandson who had been raised for nearly three or four years, and when he heard that he was gone, Old Man Yang was still very anxious, and at the same time he reflected in his heart, Could it be that what he said that day was really hurtful? Otherwise, why would this grandson, who had been raised by himself for three or four years, go so neatly? The scene when Yang Xiaoming left suddenly appeared clearly in his mind, as if it had just happened yesterday, Old Man Yang found out, That day, Yang Xiaoming walked without any attachment at all, and with a little freedom and ease, he never seemed to regard this place as his home, just like a passerby on the river.

Four or five days later, Old Man Yang came back and came to the dilapidated but clean courtyard again, when King Zhao and Ye Xi were taken aback, because Old Man Yang seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, and the whole person was like a broken candle in the wind, almost crumbling, and without the spirit of the past.

Old man Yang, what's wrong with you? King Zhao hurriedly helped Old Man Yang to the side and sat down, and at the same time instructed Ye Xi to bring out a bowl of porridge he had made for the old man.

Old man Yang took a deep look at King Zhao and Ye Xi, and then took the bowl of very nutritious eight-treasure porridge, and drank it with a few strokes of the head tilted up, King Zhao and Ye Xi's eyes widened, and they felt that Old Man Yang might be hungry this time.

King Zhao asked Ye Xi to serve another bowl, but Old Man Yang stopped and said, "A porridge has eight treasures, I already owe you a lot of favors, so I don't need to serve it anymore."

Old man Yang, it's just a bowl of porridge, what kind of people are not kind, anyway, I cooked a lot with the old man, enough to eat, King Zhao was stunned for a moment and said;

At this moment, the old man sitting opposite Old Man Yang woke up, and Old Man Yang stood up all of a sudden and stared at the old man for a long time.

Finally, Old Man Yang took a deep breath and said, "It seems that what you said was right at the beginning, I will die before you."

Old man Yang, don't you can't think about it, hearing Old Man Yang's words, King Zhao's heart chuckled, he thought that Old Man Yang was afraid that he couldn't think about it and wanted to find a short view, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

The bamboo basket fetched water for a while, and I lost my wife and broke the army, I can think about it, but God doesn't want me to live, what can I do, I don't have to go to the Hades Palace to report, Old man Yang said with a long sigh;

"Old man Yang, you are talking too profoundly, can you explain it?" the girl frowned;

King Zhao stared at him without blinking, which means that Old man Yang, you can explain, we have not read many books, and our heads are a little too much.

Is it going to die, to enter the coffin, to ascend to heaven, do you understand? Old man Yang roared angrily, then flicked his sleeves fiercely, and left angrily.

Boys and girls are stunned.

Old man Yang had just been discharged from the hospital, suddenly stopped his pace, turned his head to look at King Zhao, and muttered, "Can you give me that coffin first, I'm in a hurry!"

King Zhao was a little confused, and then shook his head decisively, although he didn't speak, but the meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, let Old Man Yang not even think about it.

The old man Yang frowned and asked;

Who are the rivers and lakes? Please introduce me! The little girl frowned;

Old man Yang immediately blackened his face and gritted his teeth, "Three gold mountains, six silver mountains, and nine iron mountains will be exchanged for you, will you agree?"

King Zhao and Ye Xi looked at each other, then let out a long sigh, shook their heads again, and looked at Old Man Yang with a pitiful look, thinking that this guy was crazy and talking nonsense.

Old man Yang, as long as you give a mountain of gold, within three months, I will definitely be able to make you a golden coffin, King Zhao joked;

Old Man Yang's eyes were rolling, and he seemed to really plan to take out a mountain of gold and ask King Zhao to make him a golden coffin, but after he glanced at the old man who couldn't speak, his expression suddenly became solemn, and finally he took a deep breath and walked away.

"King Zhao, your special mother is a ha'er, and you missed a great opportunity in vain, three gold mountains, six silver mountains, and nine iron mountains! It's enough for your special mother to eat and drink for a lifetime, what a fool, a big fool, you have lived in vain for more than ten years," Old man Yang walked more than ten steps, stopped his pace, turned his head and scolded, and after scolding, he no longer had any stay, and soon disappeared.

King Zhao's face was very dark, if Yang Xiaoming dared to scold him like this, he would definitely chase after Old Man Yang's house to knock out a few of his front teeth.

However, what people didn't expect was that more than ten days later, Old Man Yang really died, and he sat on a wooden chair under the eaves of his house and completely closed his eyes, which was found by the family next door.

King Zhao and Ye Xi were stunned for a long time after knowing this, and then hurried over, the day before yesterday, he and Ye Xi also went to Old Man Yang's house to return the book, and at the same time sent him two bowls of porridge, and said a few idle words.

Why did this old man Yang leave all of a sudden? Zhao Bawang frowned and whispered.

It is a fact that Old Man Yang's body suddenly collapsed, but it is not so much that he can't hold it for even a month or two, when we went to return the book the day before yesterday, he could still move a box of thirty or forty catties from the first floor to the third floor, just gasping for a few breaths, it stands to reason that he will not be a problem for another year or two, how to say that he will die if he dies, it is really strange, Ye Xi whispered on the side;

Soon, the old man's son and daughter-in-law rushed back, the middle-aged teacher who was teaching was very sad, saw the old man on the chair who had no breath, jumped up and cried, but his daughter-in-law was expressionless, and even looked at the old man Yang's eyes with a little disgust and hatred, King Zhao saw it clearly, even the little girl next to him also saw it, and said in his ear; Why are you so hateful?

It may be that the two of them have a big holiday, which causes her to be unable to let go for a while! King Zhao said in a low voice, the reason why Ye Xi said this is because she thinks that Old Man Yang is not bad, not a bad person, he should be a good father-in-law, and when she thinks about it, those bad things fall on Old Man Yang's daughter-in-law.

Otherwise, if she knew that Old Man Yang was very bad, even if he died, this girl would definitely curse him.

Suddenly, Mr. Yang found that Old Man Yang was holding a piece of paper in his hand, he pulled out the paper, unfolded it, his hands trembled slightly, and suddenly roared like a beast, "This dog mongrel, dead and crumbling, immature white-eyed wolf, I will fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

The people around him were stunned, Mr. Yang was known for his gentle temper, and he had never blushed with anyone in his life, let alone such vulgar scolding, around the school in the countryside, as long as he mentioned Mr. Yang, they all gave a thumbs up, not only because he taught well, but because others were very good.

King Zhao knew that Old Man Yang often had conflicts with him, and King Zhao even saw Old Man Yang pick up a chair and smash Teacher Yang, but Teacher Yang has always appeased, persuaded, and talked to Old Man Yang with reason, the only time King Zhao saw Teacher Yang yelling, was on the way to the countryside to sell back baskets, that time there were two students fighting, Teacher Yang couldn't persuade him, and finally he yelled, "Do you still want to study?" Teacher Yang yelled, The two children seemed to be frightened, and immediately stopped, and finally Mr. Yang pulled the two children aside and sat down, and reasoned with them.

"I'm Luo ...... God!" Ye Xi's eyes were very sharp, and he saw that there were only four words on the crumpled paper.

"Luo Tian?" Zhao Wang was stunned, this name was familiar to him, it was the name Yang Xiaoming used when he was in the orphanage.

Zhao Wang, those words are Yang Xiaoming's handwriting, I recognize, the last time we went to return the book, I flipped through his homework book, the word 'I', the word 'is', and the word 'Tian' were exactly the same as what he wrote, Ye Xi whispered;

"I'm Luo ...... God!" King Zhao pondered this sentence again, and then suddenly realized, "Could it be that Old Man Yang was angry with Yang Xiaoming?"

"I think it's mostly that the melon skin doesn't look like a good person, it gives people a very demonic feeling," Ye Xi said after thinking about it;

Think about it, the reason why Old Man Yang's body died all of a sudden was not because of the calf, and the four words on the paper showed that he had never regarded Old Man Yang as his grandfather, do you say that Old Man Yang, who was worried about him, could not be angry to death? Ye Xi analyzed in an orderly manner.

That's right, King Zhao nodded, feeling that Ye Xi's analysis was very reasonable, he had worked hard to raise his grandson for so many years, and in the end, he realized that people didn't regard themselves as the Yang family at all, and everyone would be angry.

A few days later, Old Man Yang was buried, Mr. Yang did not let Old Man Yang feel cold, the battle ceremonies that should have been completed were complete, and Old Man Yang's coffin was a high-grade coffin, King Zhao went to help these days, and on the day Old Man Yang went up the mountain, King Zhao also went, and he did not leave until after the old man was buried.

Day 3...... Old man Yang's son Teacher Yang came to the door, King Zhao was very enthusiastic about it, Teacher Yang was a good teacher, good at teaching, and a very good person, he felt that Teacher Yang was worthy of respect, and he welcomed Teacher Yang into the small courtyard and made him a good cup of tea.

However, Teacher Yang was very strange, and after he came, he sat opposite the old man and said a few inexplicable words, which King Zhao couldn't understand, and Ye Xi, who had read more books than King Zhao, couldn't understand either.

However, when Mr. Yang left, King Zhao brought him five or six tea eggs, in Ye Xi's words, the number six has an auspicious meaning, as long as he says so, others will be happy to accept it, and sure enough, Mr. Yang, who originally refused to do so, accepted it after hearing this.

Two days later, Mr. Yang came again, but this time he came with a large old suitcase, and his daughter-in-law was with him.

Xiao Zhao, although we are neighbors, but we have not dealt with each other, one is that I have been working in the countryside, the other is that you are also very busy, it is difficult to have a chance to meet, and it is just a polite greeting, and there is not too much conversation, it stands to reason, as a close neighbor, this really shouldn't be, in fact, not long after you came to the old man, I heard my father talk about you, said that you are all sensible, all kinds of good, at that time I wanted to take you to the countryside to study, but your Yang master said, The old man needs someone to take care of him, so I dispelled this idea, in fact, you have stood on the side of the road a few times when staring at the back of the school, I saw it, at that time I wanted to rush out and bring you into the school, but I still didn't, and I don't think you will go, at least until the old man leaves, you will not go, you old man Yang is gone, I will rarely come back in the future, so before leaving, I want to give you something, Teacher Yang said the end, and moved the big box to him.

"Teacher Yang, what are you ......," King Zhao was a little embarrassed and a little puzzled.

"Here are some books, don't be in a hurry to refuse, your old man Yang left a letter before his death, which also has this meaning, let me give these books to you, and there are many books in it, I have made annotations, this is my little heart, but also a little thank you, thank you for helping your old man Yang in the past few years, and secondly, this is your old man Yang's last words when he was dying, I hope you don't refuse. Teacher Yang said earnestly;

In the end, King Zhao accepted the large box of books.

Xiao Zhao, if there is anything you don't understand in your studies in the future, you can go to the countryside to find me, oh! By the way, do you have a phone? If so, give me the number and let me remember it, and it will be much more convenient to contact me by phone in the future, Teacher Yang said;

King Zhao shook his head a little embarrassed.

Teacher Yang paused for a moment and said with a smile: Then you can remember my number, and when you buy a phone, just call my number if you have anything.

After Zhao Wang wrote down Mr. Yang's phone number and chatted a few words, Mr. Yang left with his daughter-in-law.

Less than two months after Mr. Yang and the others left, the old man left peacefully, and that day, King Zhao had a feeling that the sky had fallen, and he and the little girl cried very sadly.

Although King Zhao knew that this day was going to come sooner or later, but when it really came to this day, he still couldn't bear the grief of losing his loved ones, he and Ye Xi cried for a long time before they went to invite the people who did the work, that day, the dilapidated small courtyard was crowded with people, there were people around, and people from other streets, Uncle Wang, who sold meat buns, Aunt Wu, who bought fritters, also came, and Teacher Yang also came.

King Zhao didn't know a lot of things, but with the help of Uncle Wang, Teacher Yang and others, he finally buried the old man smoothly and beautifully.
