Shumei didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and if she was the same, she would say it every time she came. She was afraid that Bo Yi would not be able to persevere, and she had to give him the greatest moral support.

"Bo Yi, remember your words, I am waiting for you to fulfill the promise you made to me personally."

"Hmmm! I won't lose my words again this time. ”

Bo Yi's answer was very affirmative, he really wanted to compensate Shumei for a wedding.

Calculate the time, and by the time he goes out, I'm afraid he will be more than forty. It's already the age when he came to talk about his relationship, but for him, that time was the real beginning of his relationship with Shumei.

No matter how much he has left in the rest of his life, he vows that he will definitely give everything he has to love Shumei well.

Shumei thought that she was going to the town to watch Boyi today, so she tossed back and forth, and I was afraid it would be evening when I went back. Last night, she went to Wu Ju and told Wu Ju to help take care of Zhang Binglin today.

Although Wu Ju was a little reluctant, she finally agreed.

In the evening, Shumei returned from the town, where she bought some of Zhang Binglin's favorite food. When she returned to the village, she went to Zhang's house as soon as possible, wanting to send things to Zhang Binglin.

She came to the outside of Zhang's courtyard, the courtyard door was closed, and there was not a trace of light in the house. She obviously confessed to Wu Ju and told her not to go out and take care of Zhang Binglin's three meals a day.

She realized that the situation was wrong, quickly took out the key to open the courtyard door, and hurried into the house.

When she turned on the light in Zhang Binglin's room, the first thing that caught her eye was Zhang Binglin, but he was lying on the ground, his hands reaching for the door.

Shumei hurriedly ran over and tried to help Zhang Binglin up from the ground, "Daddy, are you okay?" I'll help ......."

When she touched Zhang Binglin's stiff body, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

She probed it with her trembling hand, Zhang Binglin's breath was gone, and she was scared. He sat on the ground with a slump of slumps. It took half a sound to come back to his senses, and tears fell from his eyes.

"Daddy, Daddy, it's all my fault, it's me who is not good, it's all my fault, if I don't go out, you won't ...... It's the daughter-in-law who is not filial, and she couldn't even be by your side on the last journey, so you went so lonely, and you didn't even have a ...... to see you off."

Shumei sat on the ground, guarding Zhang Binglin's cold and hard body, crying and complaining and blaming herself.

Zhang Binglin's death was so sudden that she was a little caught off guard, she sat there stunned, looking at Zhang Binglin's body sadly and painfully.

I don't know how long it took, it was dark, Wu Ju came back with a bright hum, watching the courtyard door open, and the lights in the house were on, she walked briskly into the house, and shouted to the house, "Shumei, is that you?" Are you back from town? What do you think? You're all right, you're not looking for death anymore, are you? I said that you are really, how can you look at such a good person, like its girl, you have to die or live when you encounter something. ”

She chattered for a long time, and when she saw that there was no one inside, she thought that Shumei had forgotten to lock the door when she came. Muttered to himself, "This forgetful thing, although there is nothing valuable at home, can't you just enter it with the door open?" It's not a wet market. ”

She entered the door, put the things in her hand on the table in the hall, and then planned to go into the room to take a look at Zhang Binglin.

The moment she stepped through the door, she was startled when she saw the scene in the room.

She patted her heart with a look of surprise, "Ouch hey! You're here! Why don't you say anything, it scares me a lot, which one of you two are singing? Why are you lying on the ground? Can this floor be more comfortable than a bed? ”

Shumei raised her tear-stained face and looked at Wu Ju, who was nonchalant, "Ah Niang, you-you-where have you been?" Didn't I ask you to take care of Daddy at home? Why do you ......?"

"What's wrong? Is it still a breather to go to jail? I got lunch for him to eat before I went out to breathe. It's not me. Why do you want to explain it to you? I'm really full and have nothing to do, but your wings are stiff, and you dare to accuse me of not coming. Isn't it fun to lie on the ground? Don't hurry up and get him up. ”

Wu Ju saw that Shumei dared to accuse her, she was so angry that she forcibly interrupted Shumei's words, and complained about Shumei.

Shumei was completely angry, and she roared loudly at Wu Ju: "A-Niang, do you know? Daddy died, a lonely death, when she died, there was no one by his side, he was so lonely. ”

Wu Ju's eyes widened in surprise, and his eyes fell on Zhang Binglin who was lying there, "What did you say?" Is your daddy dead? ”

"Yes, Daddy is dead, I don't have to trouble you to take care of him anymore, no, you will never have the opportunity to take care of him again."

Wu Ju didn't believe Shumei's words, so she threw herself on the ground and went to verify Shumei's words in person. When she learned that Zhang Binglin was indeed out of breath, her reaction was the same as that of Shumei before, and she sat down on the ground.

Her expression was very sad, the person who had been with her for decades was gone, she was just hard-hearted, and she inevitably felt a little empty in her heart.

"Take a hand and help your daddy up! It's not a way to keep him lying on the ground, it's not a way. ”

Shumei heard the sound, so she helped Zhang Binglin to the bed together.

She looked at the closed-eyed face, and after a brief moment of sadness, she began to secretly rejoice.

I can finally get rid of this sick seedling, and my unlucky days are finally coming to an end, hey! Old man! Your departure is a relief for you and me.

If you want to live like this, there is no difference between you and the dead, but you will harm others and yourself, it is really better to die early and live early. You can go with confidence! Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself.

"Auntie, are you prepared for Daddy's shroud?"

Her thousands of thoughts were interrupted by Shumei's words.

"Yes, yes, in the closet! Go find it! I'm going to send a message to Xiaoqin and ask her to come over and help a little. Wu Ju said, and walked towards the door in despair.

Shumei hurriedly said: "A-Niang, you can hurry up, the two children are still at home!" I'll have to go back and take a look. ”

Wu Ju turned her head and glared at Shumei, and said coldly, "It's really cold, what else is bigger than death, children who are so big, they have to be held in their hands and raised in their mouths, they are all habitual problems." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and brushed her sleeves away, without giving Shumei any chance to refute.

In an instant, in this cold and desolate room, Shumei was left alone.

Shumei found the shroud from the closet, because Zhang Binglin's body was stiff, and it was very difficult to put on the shroud, she took a lot of effort to put Zhang Binglin's upper body on the shroud, and she had to give up because of the difference between men and women, waiting for Wu Ju to come back and wear it.

She waited left and right, and didn't wait for Wu Ju to come back, in desperation, she had to go next door to find it in person, she was afraid that the two children were waiting at home in a hurry, and she was also afraid that they would be hungry and had to go back.

She thought about going back to settle the two children first, and then turning back to Zhang Luo and Zhang Binglin's funeral.

The lights were on at the Fu family next door, as if she was having lunch in the hall, she didn't push open the courtyard door and walked in directly, but stood at the courtyard gate and called "A-Niang" twice into the house.

After calling it, there was still no reaction from inside, she called twice, "Big sister, big sister!" "There was still no movement in the house, presumably it was this big night, and I didn't call my name, although I didn't know who I was calling.

She simply called Zhang Xiaoqin's name directly, "Zhang Xiaoqin, Zhang Xiaoqin, I'm Shumei!" Are you at home? ”

At this time, there was finally movement in the house, the lights on the eaves of the porch were on, and Zhang Xiaoqin walked out of the house angrily, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand, eating noodles as she walked.

She walked to the center of the courtyard and took a look, and found that it was really Shumei, so she couldn't help but scold: "Did you take the wrong medicine?" How dare you call my name directly. It seems that he just changed men, and even my ex-husband's eldest sister didn't recognize it. In the middle of the night, if you don't guard the two living treasures of your house, what is it called to come to me and shout? ”

Shumei looked anxious, and tried to interrupt Zhang Xiaoqin's words several times, but in the end she couldn't succeed, so she could only wait for Zhang Xiaoqin to ventilate, and then she seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, "Sister, what about A-Niang?" Didn't she come looking for you? ”

"Auntie? Nope! She didn't come! Is something wrong? ”

"So where can she go? I'm really anxious, Daddy is gone. ”

"What? What's Daddy gone? ”

"Daddy—Daddy, he's dead."

"Huh? How could it be so sudden, this-that-you wait a minute, I'll put down the dishes and chopsticks and go over. ”

Zhang Xiaoqin said, took the noodle bowl in her hand and hurriedly turned back to the house, and after a while, she hurriedly walked out empty-handed and followed Shumei back to Zhang's house.

When the old couple of the Fu family learned the news, they also rushed over after them.

They all know that it is not easy for the family to have no man in the family, coupled with the relationship between the neighbors and Zhang Xiaoqin for many years, they also want to see if there is anything they can help.

Zhang Xiaoqin looked at the half-worn shroud, and angrily turned around and asked Shumei, "You only wear half of the shroud, what are you doing to eat?" ”

"It's-"

Shumei looked embarrassed, and when she saw that the second elder of the Fu family was there, she couldn't speak.

Zhang Xiaoqin didn't do anything to dress Zhang Binglin, and muttered to herself: My aunt is really, this daddy is gone, and he went out to fool around, is it possible to go to which men are more important than my daddy's death?

Her voice was scarce, small enough only she could hear.

Fu's mother shook Fu's father's arm and whispered to him, "Otherwise, you can go and help!" The daughter-in-law here is really a little inconvenient. ”

Father Fu frowned, as if he was a little reluctant.

He looked at the face lying there, skinny as wood, with a bitter face, and there seemed to be tear stains on his face under the corners of his eyes, and suddenly he was a little unbearable, and walked to him with a sigh.

"Xiaoqin, Shumei, you go and really prepare the bamboo fence for the mortuary, I'll help my brother put on this shroud! It's been an old neighbor for decades, and that's the only thing I can do for him. ”

He spoke in a particularly heavy tone, with a look of pity and pity on his face.
