Chapter 55: A Simple Family
I took the glutinous rice, poured it on the clothes that several people had picked up, and said, "Clothes are filled with rice, people are loaded with wealth, may the dead bless you from disaster."
Several people standing in front of them all felt the weight of the clothes in the back, and one of them asked, "Sir, can I take this back and cook it?"
"Yes, this rice is not bad, I've eaten it." I nodded.
As soon as I said this, some people laughed, and I smiled and said, "It's okay, let's shoot the ashes."
The eight gangs nodded, shoveled the lime into the well, and soon, the coffin was covered by lime soil, and Yang's mother stopped crying under the comfort of Yang's father.
After an hour, a small dirt bag was piled up in the Yin House, I waved my hand, and Father Yang came over, and then I said, "Uncle Yang, you should know what to do next."
Father Yang nodded and said, "Pile up stones and plant evergreen."
I also nodded and said, "That's right, the stone must be neat, not uneven, otherwise it will not be good, if it is evergreen, it will be planted in the center of the grave."
Father Yang said yes, I glanced at the time, and said: "Then since the things are done, we should also go, there are still things to deal with in the city, take your words slowly, don't be too sad, what Evian said to your second elder just now, you must take it to heart."
Father Yang nodded and said, "Little brother, are you going to leave now, play here for a few more days, I haven't entertained you well these days, play here for a few days."
I shook my head and said with a smile: "No need, Uncle Yang, there is really something to deal with at home, and I haven't been busy with anything these days, just stand there and worship these, you can believe us so much, it is already the best hospitality for us."
"Not the little brother, I'm serious, play for a few days". Father Yang is still persuading me.
I refused again: "I really don't need to, Uncle Yang, you listen to me, you still have to be busy next, burning wreaths, burning soul flags and clothes, and going to hang the grave, so we have to rush back."
Father Yang lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time he said: "Okay, since you still have something to do, then I won't force it to stay, by the way, little brother, I still have 1,500 yuan here, you take it, it's really up to you these days."
After Father Yang finished speaking, he took out a thick 1,500 yuan from his pocket, I was stunned, and immediately pushed it back and said: "Hey, Uncle Yang, don't come to this set, you take this thousand and five to buy something delicious with your aunt, it's better than giving it to me, and we didn't come to help you halfway, we were helping from the beginning, in fact, I had a chance to save Evian that day, but I grabbed her hand, but I didn't resist the speed."
At the end, my voice became quieter and quieter, Father Yang's face changed, and finally he whispered: "This, this is not to blame you, not to blame you...., it's good that you have this heart, really, take one thousand and five, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
I shook my head, I kept pushing back and forth with Father Yang, and our side also attracted the attention of Li Muyang and Lao Dai, the two buddies immediately ran over, and Lao Dai asked first: "Lin Xuan, what's wrong, why are you still pushing."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Yang has to give us one thousand and five, you say, can I ask for this."
Lao Dai was also stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Father Yang and said, "Uncle Yang, you should keep this money, we can't ask for it, it's better for you to have a few good meals with your aunt than to give it to us."
"Yes, I said the same thing, but Uncle Yang insisted on giving it to me." I smiled helplessly, and Li Muyang said again: "Uncle Yang, you see that we all call you uncle, and you will see the outside world if you give the money, right, you will listen to us with this money, and buy some delicious food with your aunt."
Although the three of us tried to persuade him, but we couldn't bear Father Yang, I had no choice but to accept this thousand five, I glanced at the time, and said: "Then Uncle Yang, you are busy working here, I still have something left in your house, I'll go get it, and then take the car back to Yuzhong, if you have any difficulties in the future, call me, you have my phone."
Father Yang sighed and said: "Okay, little brother, you are really good people with good rewards, alas, my daughter has just left, you have to leave too, my heart is empty."
Father Yang gently hammered his chest, I shook my head and said, "Don't you still have an aunt, right, Uncle Yang, don't think so much, time will dilute everything."
Father Yang nodded, sighed again, and then we said a few more words before walking to Uncle Yang's house, on the way, we walked unhurriedly, Li Muyang turned his head to look at me, and said, "Dude, do you really want to collect this thousand five."
I shook my head and said, "I don't have anything left at Uncle Yang's house."
As soon as they heard this, the two buddies immediately came to their senses and said, "You borrowed something and didn't take it, and then went back and put one thousand and five back, right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, whoever you are, no one wants to accept this money, do you want to accept it?"
Li Muyang and Lao Dai shook their heads vigorously, and Lao Dai said: "I'm not this kind of person, my daughter just died, and they have a lot of money now, if we really take this thousand and a half, it will be a sin."
"Yes, yes, sin, sin, Amitabha". Li Muyang made a Buddhist ceremony and echoed the way.
I smiled and said, "Don't beep, it's the same as before, Li Muyang, you book a ticket, and when we leave, write a note to talk to Uncle Yang."
"Good". The two buddies nodded, and then Li Muyang booked a ticket to go back on the way, after we returned to Uncle Yang's house, I looked around, took a pen and white paper, and wrote: "Uncle Yang, we will leave, you and your aunt take care of your body, the past is with the wind, if you are free, come to Yuzhong to find us, we have all the itinerary for you and your aunt, we have given you two of you, if you have difficulties, the phone can be called at any time, it has always been smooth, don't be embarrassed to speak, they are all people, there are always difficult times, these days contact down, You also let me see the responsibility that a man should have, especially your sentence, if you get drunk, this family will collapse, this sentence makes me deeply insightful, thank you Uncle Yang, okay, don't talk much, if there is anything unclear in the next few days, you can also call me and ask, and this thousand five, I will give you this, you need him more than us, then Uncle Yang, goodbye, Lin Xuan put pen to paper"!!
Writing this, I suddenly have some mixed feelings in my heart, why do I say that, although I have only been in contact with the Yang family for a few days, but in the past few days, I have not only seen sincerity, but also seen a person's nature, which is the most unforgettable for me, just take Uncle Yang as an example, his inner strength is incomprehensible to others, and I can only use this sentence to describe Uncle Yang I have seen in the past few days.
I took a deep breath, put one thousand five under the envelope, and said, "Let's go, you can take a taxi here and there."
"The nearest one is out of the village, but it's not too far, so let's go." Li Muyang looked at his phone and said.
I nodded, and when I walked to the gate, I suddenly looked back, smiled again, and sighed in my heart: "Yesterday it was still a mourning hall, but now it is the living room, time flies so fast, goodbye, cottage"!
"Hey, hey, buddy, what do you want, let's go." Li Muyang stood outside at this time and shouted, I came back to my senses and said, "Come, let's go."
After saying that, we walked towards the outside of the village, and after taking a taxi, we went straight to the station, on the way, because we didn't sleep all night, when we were in the car, we couldn't stand it, we slept on our stomachs, we slept on our stomachs, we slept on our backs, anyway, we were asleep, and the whole person didn't know the situation outside.
At this time in Yang's house, Yang's father and Yang's mother walked back with their things, this home was quiet at this time, Yang's father looked up left and right, and said: "Wife, this family is really only me and you, alas."
Mother Yang lowered her head and tears slipped down again, and Father Yang sighed again, took his daughter-in-law's hand, and walked into the living room.
