In a blink of an eye, my mother sent Ah Niu to the school again.

The woman took the embroidery and went to the tailor's shop.

The proprietress was very busy today, and finally saw that the woman was about to go out with the list, looked at the sun, and said, "Look, it's going to rain this day, otherwise you will come back tomorrow?" ”

The woman's right eye jumped, and she declined the hostess's invitation, "It's okay, it's summer, the sun is still long, and besides, I still have hot food at home." ”

In the end, the woman was not kept, and the proprietress watched the young woman go out, and it was not a good day today.

On the summer solstice, rain falls.

Ah Niu was following the master in the school, shaking his head and carrying the book, but the master's daughter-in-law suddenly appeared at the door of the school.

The master went out of the door, and when he came back, he knocked on Ah Niu's table with a little regret, "You come out with me." ”

Ah Niu looked at the master with wide eyes, curious, "I have memorized all the books from yesterday, why is the master still looking for me?" ”

After the rain, the sky was cleaned, and as soon as Ah Niu went out, he looked at the clear sky, which was particularly comfortable.

"Ah Niu, go home. Your mother, I went yesterday. ”

The master looked still kind, and looked at the child with some pity.

Ah Niu was stunned, "Master, what are you talking about?" My aunt only sent me back to school yesterday. ”

The master touched Ah Niu's head, "Ah Niu, go home and have a look." Yesterday's heavy rain and landslides, your aunt was washed away by quicksand. ”

Ah Niu didn't speak for a long time, and the master waited patiently, "Ah Niu, although you are young now, I will also tell you the truth that the world is impermanent, the world is impermanent, but there is love in the world, if there is anything needed, you will come to me." ”

Ah Niu raised his head, and the master looked at the child with red eyes, "Go back." ”

"Thank you, Master."

Choked up, Ah Niu wiped his tears and went out the door.

"Auntie, don't lie to me."

The sun went from the first birth to the top of the head.

Ah Niu ran out of sweat before squeezing into his yard.

The yard, which used to be deserted but clean, is now very lively.

People came and went, and Ah Niu heard those mothers-in-law who had broken mouths in the past, and whispered, "This person, it's a pity, if she is willing to remarry, where will she be so pitiful." ”

Ah Niu listened to those tall men, and looked in one direction with a little pity, "It's a pity, young and good-looking, why can't you think about it." ”

Ah Niu listened to a few leprosy skins, gathered together, and whispered, "It's really white, everyone is dead, and it's still covered so tightly." ”

……

The world is complicated, Ah Niu rushed forward and saw the person in the courtyard at a glance.

The mother, who used to be smiling, was now wrapped in a rag and thrown on the ground at random, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was helping to comb it.

Ah Niu rushed forward, and the daughter-in-law grabbed him, "Poor child, cry if you want to." ”

Ah Niu couldn't hear her words, he looked at his mother, who had always been neat and tidy, was now covered in mud, and her beautiful face was a little swollen and out of shape.

Ah Niu found out that his mother, his mother can no longer smile at him, cook for him, make clothes for him, and ask for warmth for him.

Why is it always difficult to get along with people in this world?

Ah Niu knelt beside his mother and sobbed.

People come and go.

On this day, it was finally time to be buried.

The village chief arranged for a few people to help, and Ah Niu took out a few pieces of broken silver from the cabinet, which was his tuition fee saved by his mother.

He can still think of the expectation and longing in his mother's eyes when he embroiders, "When Ah Niu finishes his studies and is admitted to the top prize, Ah Niang will be blessed." ”

And now, it's empty.

The dirt smashed on the coffin, handful after handful, and Ah Niu watched as the filthy dirt buried his loved ones.

He couldn't shed any more tears, he rushed down, holding the cold coffin, imagining his mother's arms.

"Mother, you lied to me, you said you were going to make me braised pork, you broke your promise!"

Ah Niu shouted in the pit, and asked the woman next to her to wipe the corners of her eyes, and the village chief couldn't stand it anymore and brought people up.

"Ah Niu! Ah Niu! Calm down and let your mother be in peace. ”

Ah Niu was buried in the arms of the village chief and finally cried.

"In this world, after all, I am the only one left."

The mother was buried for a few days, and Ah Niu kept watch in front of the grave for a few days.

Every day, the village chief's daughter-in-law came to deliver food, which made Ah Niu feel a little grateful.

"Thank you, auntie."

On this day, the village chief's daughter-in-law came to deliver food again, and Ah Niu finally opened his mouth.

The daughter-in-law was so shocked that her hand shook, the bowl fell, and the soup was scattered all over the ground.

The woman rubbed her hands against the corners of her clothes, looked at the lonely child, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Ah Niu, my aunt told you something, but don't take it to heart."

Probably because the twilight is getting heavier, people can't see the looks on the faces of others.

Ah Niu lowered his head and didn't speak, probably he also wanted to know what else had not come.

The village chief's daughter-in-law rubbed her palms, not daring to look up at the child, "That day, I came back from my mother-in-law's house, who thought that it suddenly rained heavily on the road, picked a shortcut, I really didn't mean it, who would have thought that in the deep mountains and old forests, there were still people doing that in the heavy rain, I was just curious to glance at it, I was far away, and I didn't know if that person was your mother-in-law, or just a clothes statue." ”

The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at Ah Niu and didn't respond, so she continued, "I saw that the person's figure looked like a rich man, and there were a few people guarding next to him, who looked like a few scoundrels in our village, I was frightened at the time, and I only dared to look at it secretly." I really don't know, your mother will be gone the next day. ”

The village chief's daughter-in-law's voice became smaller and smaller, she looked at Ah Niu's expression was wrong, and then she reflected it, and grabbed Ah Niu, "Ah Niu, you are still a child, don't be impulsive, it is estimated that the aunt is wrong, don't take it to heart." ”

Ah Niu was held in his aunt's arms, and he struggled hard, "Auntie, thank you." It's okay, I'm fine, thank you for telling me. ”

The aunt looked at Ah Niu's expression and did not look unusual, so she put her mind at ease, she patted her apron and brought the food to Ah Niu's eyes, "Eat first, it's been seven days, go back quickly." ”

Ah Niu ate the food sent by his aunt into his stomach and handed over the empty bowl, "Thank you, auntie, you go back first, I'll go back immediately." ”

The aunt put away the dishes and chopsticks, patted Ah Niu's head, and went back to the village.

Ah Niu turned around and knelt in front of his mother's grave, "Ah Niang, do you hurt?" It's okay, Ah Niu will be coming to you soon. ”

As the night deepened, the village fell silent.

After that day, when several scoundrels in the village got together to drink, they somehow drank too much, fell into the river, and lost their lives.

The aunt never saw Ah Niu again, she added incense to the temple on the fifteenth day of every month, and this village woman could only comfort herself in this way.

In this world, sometimes people are really helpless.
