Chapter 17 When I arrived at the Yellow River, my heart would not die

There is a very vulgar saying, "If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die", or "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears", in fact, Lu Yu knows that many people in the countryside will not necessarily die even if they go to the Yellow River. On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Cheng Changsheng and his eldest brother Cheng Changbao's family died a few chickens, Cheng Changbao wanted to secretly throw away the dead chickens, but her daughter-in-law refused, saying that the sick chickens could still be eaten when cooked, and the two quarreled over whether the dead chickens should be thrown away. The neighbors didn't know what was going on, and they only knew what was going on when they went to persuade them to fight, and then they didn't even persuade them, and they fled back to their homes.

In the end, I don't know if the sick and dead chickens were burned, anyway, the whole village knew about it, and the village chief knew about it, and he didn't care. Cheng Changbao's daughter-in-law is like an overcomer, and she is very proud for several days.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Lu Yu bought some incense paper and candles and burned them in front of his mother's grave. He told his mother that he was doing well, and Lu Ming's family was also doing well, but his father didn't know where he went.

Lu Yu sat in front of his mother's grave for a long time, recalling his past thirty years. Some people say that when people are old, they will prefer to recall the things of their youth, and Lu Yu thought sadly that he may also be old. But what's even more sad is that I don't have anything commendable to recall, I haven't been vigorous, I can't even be bland, I may be an outlier.

Lu Yu spent the New Year alone, his father did not come back, and on the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lao Gao asked him to go to his house for the New Year, but Lu Yu refused. Lu Yu felt that he and Lao Gao should already be good friends, but he was unwilling to get involved in the lively and festive celebrations of other people's homes.

On the first day of the new year, Lu Ming came and hugged her daughter to greet her uncle for the New Year. Lu Yu's little niece can't speak yet, but she is very lively, she loves to laugh very much, and she doesn't recognize life, Lu Yu hugged her for a while, secretly thinking that if she could have such a child, it would be very good.

Lu Ming went back after lunch, and Lu Yu sent him a long way.

The second and third days of junior high school are the days when relatives go, and Lu Yu has no relatives to go, so he has been staying at home.

On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Xu Kaigui's daughter-in-law and Cheng Changbao's daughter-in-law quarreled, and later the two men also joined the quarrel, and then the two families fought. Xu Kaigui has two elder brothers, and Cheng Changbao has a younger brother who is Cheng Changsheng, and these five men are inseparable.

Lu Yu has never liked to watch the excitement, but he thinks that it is all from the same village, and it is necessary to go to see and persuade him. When he went, the two families had already stopped fighting, but they still scolded each other across the road, and the men were all injured, and no one went back to bandage them.

After listening to it for a while, Lu Yu understood what was going on. Didn't Cheng Changbao's family have a chicken plague before the Chinese New Year, because the dead chicken Cheng Changbao and his family had a big quarrel, and Xu Kaigui's daughter-in-law was the one who went to persuade the fight. And this morning, Xu Kaigui's daughter-in-law found that her chickens were all sick, and seven or eight sick chickens died in less than an hour. Xu Kaigui's daughter-in-law thought that she must have brought chicken plague home when she went to Cheng Changbao's house to persuade her, so she took the dead chicken to Cheng Changbao's house for compensation. Cheng Changbao and his family naturally refused, you came to the house last year, and this year the chicken is sick and you come to me, isn't this looking for trouble?

At this time, the village chief was also there, and he was not very willing to persuade him, but he just said that if the dead chickens in the family were willing to burn them, they would burn them, and if they were not willing to burn, they should not go to the door. Lu Yu felt that there must be many people's chickens sick at this time, but no one was willing to say it. The matter is really serious, but apart from the village chief and him, few people seem to really take it seriously.
