When the car arrived at the entrance of our village, I saw a lot of neighbors after I got out of the car, and immediately greeted everyone, and the neighbor's second uncle Ge said: "This is Zhou Qing of the old Zhou family, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I can't recognize it. ”

I smiled and said, "Second Uncle Ge, don't make fun of me, Grandpa Ge is okay?" Second Uncle Ge said it was okay.

My mother knew that I was coming back, and waited for me at the entrance of the village early in the morning, and after more than a year, my mother was much older, and there was a lot more gray hair on her temples. Seeing me, my mother quickly took the bag in my hand and said, "Son, are you back, are you hungry?" Let's go, go back with Mom, Mom will cook for you. ”

I said, "Mom, don't work hard. I'll just carry this bag myself, you see you, you've been tired for a year, right? There are a lot of gray hairs. My mom smiled and said she wasn't tired, and led me home, and I greeted the neighbors along the way.

The house at home is a little dilapidated, I usually send money back to my mother, but I am afraid that she will work too hard, seeing the dilapidated old house, I can't help but say: "Mom, this house is like this, it's time to rebuild the building, if you don't have money, call me and say." ”

My mother said, "You are busy outside, and it is not easy to earn some money, just my mother is alone, this mud house is very good to live in, if you build a building, it is not interesting for my mother to live alone." ”

Parents are always like this, thinking about their children, my mother asked me to sit down, and I hurried to the stove room to cook for me, this year after running around, I feel really good when I go home, very warm, can make people forget some of the fighting and troubles, eat a bowl of food made by my mother, is also a kind of happiness.

My mother was busy in the stove room, I walked to the shrine at home, kowtowed to my grandparents, and my father's spiritual position, Xiaodouzi and Xiaomei also followed me to incense, at this time, there was a voice outside the house, I looked back, it was Uncle Zhao in the east of the village, I used to have a good relationship with my father, often drank together, I liked to play with him since I was a child.

Uncle Zhao took a daughter-in-law in his early years, but his daughter-in-law died early, and he did not leave a son and a half daughter, and Uncle Zhao did not remarry later, and he has been single for so many years. Third Uncle Zhao came in and saw me, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "It's really that Xiaoqingzi is back, I just heard Second Brother Ge say this, I still don't believe it." ”

When my mother came out and saw Uncle Zhao, she immediately asked me to beckon him to sit down, saying that the meal would be ready in a while, and Uncle Zhao had been chatting with me, just asking me what kind of work I had been doing outside for more than a year, whether I was doing well or something, and I was very concerned about me.

My mother cooked the meal, took out a pot of wine, and poured a small glass for each person, even Xiaodouzi and Xiaomei poured wine, wine is not a matter for the two of them at all, our people there, regardless of men and women, can drink two glasses, and my mother can naturally drink alcohol.

During the dinner, everyone chatted happily, I felt like going back to the past, when my dad was still there, the family of three gathered together for dinner, and my dad and I occasionally had two drinks, which was touching.

Uncle Zhao drank a lot of wine, and after a while, he was already red-faced. Uncle Zhao said to me in his life: "Xiao Qingzi, since your father left, you have also gone out to work, and your mother is left alone in this family, busy with everything else, and she has to do all the farm work. ”

I was full of guilt, and my mother said, "Thanks to your third uncle Zhao, I usually help my mother do some heavy work, son, quickly toast your third uncle." ”

After I toasted Uncle Zhao with a glass of wine, Uncle Zhao poured himself another glass of wine and said to me: "Xiao Qingzi, the third uncle has always treated you as a nephew, and you also know that the third uncle has no son, so the third uncle will not beat around the bush with you, there is something I want to discuss with you, and it just so happens that you are back." ”

My mother immediately coughed twice, saying that my third uncle was drunk, so she diverted the topic and asked me to go and see if there was any soup in the pot and add some more. The third uncle said, "I'm not drunk. Xiao Qingzi, the third uncle said, don't be angry. ”

I'm not a fool, looking at my mother's expression, I know what Uncle Zhao is going to say, my mother is with us, and she was quite beautiful when she was young, Uncle Zhao has always been single, my mother is a widow, he wants to be good with my mother, which is also human nature. Sure enough, Uncle Zhao then expressed this meaning and asked me if I agreed.

Before I could speak, my mother first disagreed, saying: "Third child, how many times have I told you, I will never marry again in my life, if you say these words again, you will not come to my house to eat and drink in the future, you can also help me do the work in my house." ”

My mom had a serious expression, not like a joke. Uncle Zhao was embarrassed, so he had to pour a glass of wine into a sip, and said helplessly: "Okay, I won't mention it from now on, I will help you do your work." Brother Zhou and I are good brothers, he is gone, your family's affairs, I, as a brother, can I not help? ”

My mother's face was not very good, and I didn't say anything at the dinner table, Uncle Zhao San drank a lot that day, and he was drunk, so I sent him back. When I got home, I talked to my mom about it.

I said: "Mom, you are also older, my son can't be by your side, I really don't worry about you alone, find a companion, take care of each other, my son is very happy, I won't object, I believe my dad won't object, Uncle Zhao San is honest and diligent, I think it's done." ”

My mother gave me a slap and said, "What is it, you bear child, what do you know about adults?" Mom has her own measure, she doesn't want to be poked in the backbone, this widow, Mom can keep it, don't worry about it. Come back this time for a few more days, and accompany your mother. ”

My mom is a stubborn person, she doesn't want to, and I can't say much.

I rested at home for most of the day, the next day I took Xiaomei and Xiaodouzi, rode my motorcycle to sweep the tomb of the blind mother-in-law, the place where the blind mother-in-law was buried saved him a lonely grave, I originally thought that no one had gone to sweep the tomb for more than a year, the grave must have been overgrown with dry grass, but I went to the grave to see, there were no weeds around, obviously someone had cleaned up, and there were burned out of incense wax and ashes of the paper in front of the grave, as well as some paper people, tributes, flowers or something.

This grave doesn't look like no one has swept it at all, I took a closer look at these things, it should have been someone sweeping the grave not long ago.

The blind mother-in-law has no relatives in Pony Village, and after Luojia and Ye'er leave, no one should come to sweep her grave, I feel a little strange, but Xiaomei said: "Maybe it's the villagers of Ponyville Village, after all, Mother-in-law has done a lot of good things in Ponyville Village before, and everyone remembers her goodness, and it is possible to come to her to incense and sweep the tomb." ”

Listening to Xiaomei say this, I also think there is such a possibility. I knelt in front of the grave of the blind mother-in-law, gave her incense, burned the money and said: "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Ye'er and Luojia, and made them suffer a lot. ”

After I finished speaking, I kowtowed three times, but at this time, the small bell I hung on my waist suddenly rang, and the soul-attracting bell suddenly rang, does it mean that a remnant soul of Luojia is nearby? Or was it the guidance given to me by my blind mother-in-law?

The bell rang for a while, then stopped. Xiaomei said: "Master, is Sister Luojia's soul really nearby?" ”

I frowned and said, "It's hard to say." The soul bell was given to me by the real person in charge, and it has a strong spirituality, so naturally it can't go wrong, if that's the case, it seems that it's the right time to go home this time. ”

After we finished the incense and kowtowed, we left, and the soul-attracting bell rang, which attracted my attention and attention, but it can only show that Luojia's remnant soul is relatively close to me, it may be in our county, or it may be in our city, the exact direction and location, the soul-attracting bell cannot be determined, unless I am away from her for a long, long time, the soul-attracting bell can be determined.

Either way, it's good news.

In the afternoon, I went to Xiao Dunzi's house to visit Xiao Dunzi's parents, who were still in good health, and gave them 1 million before, and now they have built a new building, at least there is no difficulty in life.

I've been in my hometown for a few days, and every day the soul bell will sound to remind me, so that I can't sit still, and I'm ready to go out to find Luojia's remnant soul.
