After Liu Laizi left, he didn't dare to come to his father's store for a few days to lose his temper.

My father thought that this rascal Rippy was also scared.

In fact, my father didn't know that his wife had died.

On this day, my father passed by the door of Liu Laizi's house to buy things, and at 5 or 6 o'clock, I saw a few people wearing linen and filial piety walking around at the gate of Liu Laizi's house, and my father leaned over to take a look.

I saw a mourning hall under the courtyard facing the window, and several people knelt down in front of the spirit and wept. (Crying spirit: refers to the tears of relatives and friends after the death of a person, often in the form of singing, tears are shed, used to express the pleading of relatives to deceased parents/relatives and friends.) ）

The father was confused and didn't know who he was doing the funeral for.

The courtyard of Liu Laizi's house is too big, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the courtyard, so my father can't see whose posthumous photo is placed in front of the spirit when he stands at the door.

Thinking that he also had a bad relationship with this family, his father simply paced in to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, the photo placed in front of the spirit surprised my father.

It was none other than the woman who died a few years ago, the woman who caused him to throw away his bones and turn clouds with him in bed - Liu Laizi's wife.

In the photo, she is wearing ordinary clean clothes, without the previous heavy makeup, and she is standing there with a smile on her face.

At the bottom of the photo are incense candles, fruits, and some dried goods.

A pair of her children kneeling in front of the spirit were wiping tears from their eyes, and Mommy, Mommy, Mommy screamed.

Anyone who watches such a scene can't help but burst into tears.

Not to mention that like her father, she still has such an inextricably linked wonderful relationship with her.

The father wanted to ask how her wife died, but he never saw Liu Laizi, and his father was like a headless fly, circling around the yard a few times, and wanted to ask Liu Laizi's child, but he thought that the child's own mother had died, and the child was bitter enough.

After returning home, his father didn't have the heart to cook, Zhao Xun took a bite casually, and saw that his father had come back from shopping for vegetables, and he asked if the tea was not fragrant:

"Dad, what's wrong with you! Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"Alas, Dad was embarrassed to say these things to you, since you asked, Dad will tell you the truth, you can't laugh at Dad."

"Oh, what's wrong? Is it because of our store? ”

"Oh, no, no, yes, do you remember Liu Laizi, I just came to our store a few days ago to make trouble, but today I suddenly showed his house, and I saw Liu Laizi and her wife died."

"What, she's dead? Oops, but Dad said it, she died when she died, this is what she deserved, if it wasn't for her, our family wouldn't be so sad! ”

"Find a child, don't say that, things have passed for so many years, and my father is actually relieved, and I was actually at fault for what happened back then, let our generation digest these old things."

Zhao Xun didn't expect his father to say such a thing, and he actually admitted the mistake he had made at the beginning, which made her impressed.

"Dad, she's gone now, don't think too much about it, take care of yourself, everyone will go through this."

"Dad just wants to see her tomorrow!"

"If you want to go, you can go, or you can see it."

Zhao Xun knew that in fact, his father was also a lover, he had three women in his life, two women gave birth to a child for her, one woman slept with her, and finally lost the bone tube that he had worked hard for more than ten years.

Early the next morning, my father got up early and washed up, didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and went to Liu Laizi's house in a neat dress.

In fact, my father also wanted to show off in front of Liu Laizi, you humiliated me back then and caused me to lose my bones, but my old Zhao can still mix and look good.

went to Liu Laizi's house and didn't see Liu Laizi come out for a long time, this is not right, today is her wife's first seventh, it is impossible for Liu Laizi not to show up, this is a bit unbelievable. (Note: The first seven is a funeral custom, and the folk custom believes that the "first seven" refers to the seventh day after the death of a person)

Liu Laizi looked around inside and outside the house a few times, which was really strange, but he didn't even see a single cold hair of Liu Laizi.

Liu Laizi asked those relatives and friends wearing filial piety hats where Liu Laizi went, but no one told him, and everyone put on an indifferent face.

The disgraced father had no choice but to kneel in front of his wife's spirit alone, squeezed out two tears, and wiped them on his face.

"Alas, Xianglian, when you and I were in the bone tube, I thought you were ......" (Liu Laizi's wife's name is Xianglian, in view of Liu Laizi's face before, plus it was originally stealing Q, her father didn't call her name a few times.) ）

"But it's too late for me to say anything, after all, we both had a relationship, you are gone, I should come to see you off, this money plus your relatives and friends burned, you can spend enough over there."

My father knelt there and burned a few wades of paper money, still thinking about it from time to time.

Looking at the gloomy weather outside, the shivering autumn wind exuded bursts of cool air, the kind of chill that penetrated through the bones.

The low pressure hung over everyone's heads, and everyone was like a fish about to die of thirst, secretly rejoicing in the last gulp of cold and damp air.

There were adults in the yard shouting for the children to come back quickly, come to eat, eat more, in short, the sound of frogs was ......

My father couldn't help but think of himself, thinking that he would lie in this cold coffin in a few years, and when he closed his eyes, this life could be regarded as an explanation.

In fact, "death" is a fate that none of us can escape in the end, the cycle of life, we come from nothing, and finally have to return to nothing, no one or anything can change our ultimate fate.

When I was a child, I often watched "Journey to the West", and I always thought that the Tang monk meat that monsters loved to eat could really be immortal after eating, so some manufacturers took advantage of this business opportunity to produce a kind of spicy strips, called "Tang monk meat", (I don't know if you have eaten it), until now I may not be able to say what the taste of "Tang monk meat" is, but the memory of that time is still there.

Flowers are ephemeral;

Wood is susceptible to withering;

Demon for a while;

Fall I.

I hope that each of us can leave this beautiful scenery for the rest of our lives, and the memories of those lives have finally been put to paper, and this beautiful dream of Jiangnan has been achieved.
