Fortunately, their village is small, and the neighbors know about their family's situation, so some kind neighbors in the neighborhood will occasionally give them some food. But every time I give it, I don't dare to give more, I know why not? Because since he knew that the old lady ransomed Haobei back with a pair of jade bracelets, his father thought that the old lady still had other valuable things hidden in her hands, so he never went to the old lady's house, and he had never done a trace of filial piety, so he began to disturb the old lady every day.

"If any of the neighbors dares to send a complete steamed bun to the old lady's house, if his father sees it, he will immediately exchange it for money and continue to gamble. A dime is also money, a dime ... I can't let it go.

"The climate in the Northeast is really cold... In the winter when Haobei was twelve years old, because his father took away everything that the old lady's family could take to exchange for money, he and his grandmother were degraded... Not even a thick quilt on the bed.

"Haobei is okay, the boy is strong, and the cold can withstand it. But his grandmother can't do it, an old lady of a handful of years, where can she stand such hunger and cold? So soon fell ill.

That winter, when his father came to the old lady's house again to ask for money, the old lady was attacked by his anger, at that age, frozen for so long, the body bones were already weak, and in a fit of anger, the person completely fell down, and this fall, and never got up again.

"According to your algorithm, the old lady left on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the lights of ten thousand homes, she was sent to the end... Only Haobei is alone.

Haobei Xiao, he didn't know how to deal with this matter alone, so he went to a neighbor's house that was usually the best for their grandparents and grandchildren, and said that he wanted hot water, hot steamed buns, and a kitchen knife.

The neighbor was a little confused at the time, because although the grandfather and grandson were notoriously poor in the village, this was indeed the first time Haobei took the initiative to ask others for food, and he had never done this before.

And Haobei actually asked for a kitchen knife, which inevitably made the neighbors suspicious. After all, everyone in the village knows that their grandparents and grandchildren have no vegetables at home, so what do they need kitchen knives for?

The neighbor sensed that something was wrong, so he dragged Haobei back to his grandmother's house together, and when he saw the cold corpse on the bed, the neighbor couldn't stand it.

But his neighbor was not a wealthy person, so he took Hao Bei to the village committee to briefly explain the situation, and wanted the village to help.

"The people of the village committee also knew what was going on with Haobei's father, so they called on the whole village to donate, and the money was donated to the village committee, and the village committee was responsible for 'mourning' the old lady.

"On the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the neighbors rushed to let Haobei go to their house for the New Year, but Haobei refused to go anywhere, so he guarded his grandmother's body alone at home.

"In fact, after the village committee learned about the situation, someone informed his father, but his father was 'lucky' at the time, so he told the person who informed him that people can't be resurrected after death, and they can't be resurrected anyway, so there is no need to worry about it. The weather is cold in this season, and it doesn't matter if the corpse is left for three or five days, and it's not too late to do it on the third day of the Lunar New Year. When a person dies, he is already dead, and if he doesn't cherish such good luck, he won't have the past.

"The poker players who played mahjong at the same table with his father were all similar people to his father, so no one persuaded him to go home, and even supported him.

But Haobei was unwilling to wait, so on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Haobei went to the village committee and kowtowed to beg the cadres to mourn his grandmother as soon as possible.

"The villagers are still a lot of good people, and they also know that Haobei's father is not at home and doesn't do anything, so he followed Haobei's meaning, and buried his grandmother on the first day of the new year the next day.

"And guess what? Oh, according to their local customs, the funeral has a 'turn over the kitchen knife' link, that is, after the funeral, when the filial son goes home, there will be a broken washbasin at the door of the house, and a broken kitchen knife will be placed in the basin. First of all, this article has been turned over, and then there is another layer of meaning, let the filial son get 'evil energy' on himself in this way, so that the soul of the deceased relatives will not follow the filial son home, and will go to reincarnation by himself.

"Of course, the reason why I want to use a broken kitchen knife is because after this kitchen knife has been used in this way, it has to be thrown away, and no one wants it.

Haobei turned over the kitchen knife very obediently that day, and then Haobei kowtowed to all the neighbors in the yard to thank him, and the neighbors were a little soft-hearted and said to Haobei that if he didn't eat in the future, he would come to his house to eat, and he would definitely not starve.

Haobei didn't answer the neighbors anything, just kowtowed, and his head was bleeding, and the neighbors couldn't persuade him, so they all looked at Haobei with red eyes.

After a round of kowtows, the neighbors dispersed and went back to their homes, after all, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and each family still had their own things to do. The neighbor who was the best to Haobei originally wanted Haobei to go directly to his house for the New Year, but Haobei refused, saying that he wanted to stay alone for a while.

The neighbor had to tell Haobei to come to him when he was hungry, and then he went home.

"And then? Probably everyone was immersed in that emotion and didn't come out, so no one cared where the broken kitchen knife went.

After the neighbors left, Haobei went out of the house with the broken kitchen knife, he knew where his father was playing mahjong, so he didn't need to ask, he looked for it.

"His father had been playing mahjong motionless for two days and two nights, he hadn't eaten a bite of food, he hadn't gone to the toilet, and his arms and legs were weak, so although Haobei was quite thin, he had some advantages.

"That day, his father was stabbed by him more than 20 times, and there was not a single intact place on his head, arms, legs, and chest. If it weren't for the severity of the rust, his father would have died at that time.

"As for the other few who accompanied them to play cards, not to mention the start to stop them, they didn't even dare to move, and then for a long time, they had nightmares every day when they slept every day, and the dreams were full of Haobei with red eyes and expressionless faces.

"After cutting his father, Haobei ran out of the village, kept running, kept running... I never went back.

"Do you think Haobei is really going home for the Spring Festival this year? He, he got off the train halfway, and he casually found an express hotel to pass the New Year.

"Doesn't he always like to say that he killed people in his hometown? He was talking about his own father, and he really thought that he had hacked his father to death at that time.

"Didn't he tell you that his whole family was dead? Because in his understanding, his whole family only includes his grandmother.

So indeed, Haobei's whole family... It's all dead a long time ago. ”
