Xiao Yunhai let out a heart-rending cry: "Dad, my good father, get up, let's go home together." Yunhai was about to pull his father's body, and was hugged by Wan Ren and his uncle, Lin Wei's mother couldn't help but shed tears when she saw such a tragic scene.

Wan Youkuan's body was sent to the furnace, turned to ashes in more than an hour, and his ashes were buried on Yunfeng Mountain.

After speaking, Lin Wei squatted down and taught hand in hand: "Make a fire, first use a small firewood to light it, then use a larger firewood to raise the air, and then pour briquettes, that's it." Lin Wei saw that Brother Yun Hai had a coal-black handprint on his face, and wiped it clean with his hands.

After a while, the smoke was smaller, the briquettes burned red, Yunhai really convinced Lin Wei, the stove was alive, Lin Wei taught Yunhai how to cook rice: "The rice is clean, the amount of water is generally on the back of the hand, so that the cooked rice is not hard or soft, in the process of cooking rice, after boiling, put the pot down, after an interval of ten minutes, and then put it on the stove to steam the rice, when you smell the fragrance of rice, the rice is cooked, and it must not be steamed into a burnt taste, that is burnt rice, you can't eat it, it's harmful to the body, you have to remember!" Lin Wei patiently preached.

Yunhai did it according to Lin Wei's missionary method, and sure enough, it was cooked into fragrant rice, and when Yunhai was about to add rice to the rice bowl, Wan Renhe bought 6 and a half catties of steamed buns from the canteen, walked into the kitchen and saw that Xiao Yunhai had learned to cook, and praised him: "Xiao Yunhai, you are really capable, okay, in the morning, we will eat steamed buns, and the rice will be left for lunch." He stroked Xiao Yunhai's head, looked at Xiao Lin Wei, and smiled happily.

Xiao Yunhai replied stupidly: "Uncle, it was Lin Wei who taught me to make a stove and cook, and I learned it." Yun Hai looked up and saw his uncle's happy smile, and he smiled innocently.

Wan Renhe saw his young nephew endure so much pain and suffering, a sense of pity arose, he had promised in front of the deceased "Wan Youkuan" that he must take care of Xiao Yunhai's growth, and couldn't help but touch Xiao Yunhai's head with his hand, and handed a steamed bun to Xiao Yunhai: "Eat, child." Then he took a steamed bun and gave it to Xiao Lin Wei: "Lin Wei, you also eat one, you are the master of Yunhai." ”

"Uncle, I don't want it, I have steamed buns at home, you can leave it for Brother Hai to eat, I'll go home." Lin Wei waved his hand and signaled not to.

Seeing that Lin Wei refused to eat steamed buns, Yunhai grabbed Lin Wei's hand and took a steamed bun and put it in her hand: "Sister Lin Wei, you can eat, my uncle bought so many steamed buns." ”

At this time, Lin Wei's mother Jiang Yuling got up and walked into the kitchen, saw the two children and Wan Renhe in the kitchen, and said curiously: "Why do you two children get up so early?" Lao Wan, you came here so early. ”

"Well, I bought it for Yunhai and his wife, come early, and by the way, see if Yunhai's mother is in a better mood? I really don't want to go, and it adds trouble to your family. Wan Renhe answered Lin Wei's mother's question with a tone of gratitude.

Wan Renhe heard the radio and said hurriedly: "It's not early, **, you're busy, Yunhai and I went into the house to see his mother." ”

"Okay, go ahead and enlighten her." Lin Wei's mother answered.

Wan Renhe took Xiao Yunhai's hand and walked into Wang Xuemei's room, and saw that Yunhai's mother Wang Xuemei's eyes were red, she cried alone last night, and she didn't sleep, and enlightened with concern: "Sister-in-law, I want to open a little, the eldest brother is gone, be strong, don't grieve excessively, pay attention to your body, you still have to take care of Yunhai, the child is still young." "Wan Renhe was kind and enlightened, and he was attentive and observant.

He turned around and went into the kitchen again, and served a bowl to Wan Ren and his uncle: "Uncle, you have worked hard, you have been busy all morning, you can drink it too." "In front of my uncle.

Wang Xuemei thanked Brother Renhe from the bottom of her heart for his care and help, and said affectionately: "Brother Renhe, in the past half a year, you have taken a lot of trouble and added trouble to you. ”
