When Shumei heard this, a grateful smile appeared on her embarrassed and embarrassed face, and she thanked her repeatedly, "Uncle Fu, I'm sorry for you, I will definitely seal a red envelope for you when the time comes." ”

"Okay, it's all neighbors, it's just a gesture, it's not enough to worry about, you guys go out quickly!"

"Say! Thank you so much for you and Aunt Fu. Your kindness, Shumei will definitely remember it, what use do you have in the future, just say. ”

After Shumei finished speaking, accompanied by Fu's mother, she walked out of the room.

Zhang Xiaoqin said embarrassedly: "Daddy, I'm really bothering you this time." ”

Father Fu didn't say anything more, and waved her out. Only then did she walk out of the door and go to the hall to build a bamboo fence for Zhang Binglin and Zhang Luo's mortuary.

Shumei saw that Zhang Binglin had Zhang Xiaoqin and Zhang Luo here, so she was embarrassed to put forward the idea of going home, "Eldest sister, Dad is still bothering you to take care of it here, the two children don't know that I am here, I have to go back and settle them down, get dinner for them, and then come over." ”

"Haha! If you dare to be busy, we are all idle, this daddy is dead, and you still have so much trouble. Daddy still protected you so much when he was alive, it seems that he really raised a white-eyed wolf. ”

"Eldest sister, I really don't want to be lazy, the children are still young, and they can't take care of themselves yet, I'll be back soon."

Zhang Xiaoqin also wanted to fight back-for-tat, but was cut off by Fu's mother.

"Shumei, go ahead! Children can't be careless, isn't this still me and you Uncle Fu? You can rest assured that you can take care of your children, and we are here to help you keep an eye on it. Fu's mother said earnestly, full of sincerity.

Zhang Xiaoqin's face turned blue with anger, and she wanted to refute, but thinking that this time was not suitable for quarreling, she could only give up.

Shumei was moved, grabbed Fu's mother's hand, and thanked her again and again, "Aunt Fu, then I'll trouble you, I'll try to arrange the two children as quickly as possible." ”

Fu's mother nodded in response, and Shumei hurriedly walked out of the Zhang family's yard this time and walked towards her home.

The two children were very obedient, Xiao Youchen had already cooked noodles for Xiao Shuangning to eat, not only that, but he also fed the pigs.

The two children sat at the door of the hall with the lights on, waiting for Shumei to return.

Xiao Shuangning lay in Xiao Youchen's arms, already asleep.

Xiao Youchen's family Shumei came in, and the hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

Shumei didn't come back so late, he thought a lot, he was afraid that Shumei would leave the two of them alone. But he was more worried about whether Shumei had an accident and a car accident? Falling under a cliff? Falling into the river?

I have to say that this child is not only precocious, but also has a different mind from others.

So, even though he was very sleepy and sleepy, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

Xiao Shuangning is like no one else, she falls asleep after eating, I don't know if she is really not worried, or she doesn't understand, or she pretends to be disapproving.

"Youchen, Mom is delayed, didn't you worry? I'm going to get you something to eat. Shumei said urgently as she walked in the direction of the hall.

Xiao Youchen put his little finger between his lips and made a small gesture for her to speak, he was afraid of waking Xiao Shuangning up.

"Mom, be quiet, my sister is asleep, you can carry her to the house and go to sleep!"

Shumei looked at Xiao Shuangning, who was lying on Xiao Youchen's lap and sleeping sweetly. With a pleased smile on her face, she leaned over and stroked Xiao Shuangning's smooth and fair face.

"This little girl is a sleepy worm, and she can fall asleep even when she is hungry. Come on! I'll take her into the house first, and then I'll get her up to eat when I'm ready. ”

Shumei said, and reached out to pick up Xiao Shuangning.

"Mom, my sister and I have already eaten."

Shumei asked in surprise, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"The noodles we cook, you know, I'm only going to make this, mom in the future, you have to teach me to make some, and we won't go hungry when you're away."

Shumei was so pleased, these two children really made her worry-free, she stroked Xiao Youchen's head, nodded vigorously, and carried Xiao Shuangning back to the house.

Shumei took off her little pair of clothes and shoes, covered her with a quilt, and kissed her on the forehead.

Xiao Shuangning woke up from her dream and grabbed her hand in a daze, "Mom, you're back!" ”

Before Shumei could respond, she rolled over and continued to sleep.

Shumei smiled and shook her head and walked out of the room.

Xiao Youchen held a bowl of noodles and stood there dejectedly.

Shumei saw that the child was unhappy, squatted down and asked, "Youchen, what's wrong?" I'll be back to school tomorrow! Wash your feet and go to sleep! ”

"Mom, this is the noodles for you, but—it's already a mess."

"It turns out that Xiao Youchen is unhappy because of this?"

Xiao Youchen nodded vigorously, with an expression of wanting to cry without tears.

Shumei gently stroked Xiao Youchen's head, took the noodles in Xiao Youchen's hand, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, as long as you make it, even if it is paste, my mother can eat it very happily." ”

Shumei gulped down the balls of noodles and ate them with relish.

Xiao Youchen looked at her like this, and his frown finally stretched.

"Alright, let's go to sleep! Mom still has a lot of things to do these days, if you come back in the afternoon and I'm not there, you can take your sister to do your homework and don't go out and run around. Tomorrow morning's meal is cooked in the pot, and you can get up and eat it yourself and go to school, can you do it? ”

"Well, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my sister. I set the alarm clock and make sure to wake my sister up on time. After Xiao Youchen finished speaking, he ran towards his room.

Shumei ate the noodles in the bowl, and couldn't help crying, this is a tear of emotion, this is a hard day, Xiao Youchen's sensibility, she is very pleased.

She finished eating the noodles and was about to throw some food for the pigs, when she saw that the pigs in the pen were all snoring with big bellies. She realized that Xiao Youchen had helped her do the work again, and she was even more moved.

She simply cleaned up the house, made tomorrow morning's dinner, and everything was ready, so she hurriedly went out and prepared to go to Zhang's house to keep vigil for Zhang Binglin.

As soon as she went out, she bumped into Wu Ju, who came back from outside.

Wu Ju went to the old man Zhong who she was good at, and she couldn't wait to tell the old man Zhong the news.

The two of them startled each other, and both screamed in unison.

Shumei shone a flashlight on Wu Ju's face, and when she saw that it was Wu Ju, she asked anxiously: "A-Niang, where have you been?" ”

"I-I-where I'm going, do I have to report back to you? You're full, hold on! What are you doing when you don't guard your daddy? ”

"Daddy, there is the eldest sister and the uncle and aunt of the Fu family to help take care of it, I won't come back to see the two children."

"The kids are all right, right?"

"Mm-hmm, it's all arranged."

"Then don't hurry up and follow the past, change the guard, there is no one next to the corpse, if you let the cat jump, you will cheat the corpse." This white thing is not easier than doing red things, I have to be busy these days, let's go! Hurry up, be quick. ”

Wu Ju knew that she was in a hurry at this time, why didn't she see her anxious before.

Shumei didn't say a word, followed behind her, and walked towards the Zhangjia courtyard.

Shumei did the funeral for Zhang Binglin this time, which can be said to be a big loss of vitality, although it was not a big deal, but she paid for the drummer, the treat, and the coffin bearer. Anyway, in a word, she was the one who paid the money, and it was Wu Ju who received the money, but Wu Ju took advantage of Zhang Binglin's death to make another profit.

After a few busy days, Zhang Binglin was finally put into the ground, which was also a big deal for Shumei.

Afterwards, Shumei went to Jizong's grave to pay respects to Jizong.

A glass of thin wine, a few stacks of straw paper, a pair of candles, three long incense sticks, and a piece of knife-headed meat.

No matter how tight she is, she still hasn't fallen behind to worship what she should have.

She threw the straw paper into the fire one by one, and muttered to herself with Jizong, "Jizong, I have done my best, although I didn't have a good life for a few days, but let him walk quite coldly." Have you seen him, and if so, say sorry to him instead of me! I am really ashamed that I didn't die for him. ”

The fire burned very strongly, and the wind blew the flames, making a "whoohaha" sound, as if someone was laughing. The burnt papyrus, blown by the wind, flew all over the sky.

Shumei's face was red from the fire, her eyes were full of tears, listening to the sound like laughter, looking at the grass paper ashes flying in the sky, she didn't feel so guilty in her heart.

"Jizong, are you laughing? You don't blame me, do you? ”

She was so excited that she burst into tears, she was very tired and tired, not only physically, but also mentally tense, so that she could barely breathe.

She couldn't find someone to talk to, so she could only use this method to release her pressure.

"Don't worry, Ning Ning is very good, very obedient, and reads well, maybe she is a golden phoenix flying out of the ravine, and she can shine on the lintel for your Zhang family."

"As for A-Niang, I will also take good care of her, let her live in peace, and never let her freeze and starve."

"Daddy is gone, and I have learned a lot. Although every time I go back, my father has a long face, afraid that I will eat and drink the family, but I still want to go back to see them, after all, they gave birth to me and raised me, which is a great kindness. Even if there are many not, they can't withstand this great kindness. ”

"By the way, the eldest sister's child was lost some time ago, and then I remembered Shuangwan, and I don't know if I can renew my mother-daughter relationship with her in my lifetime? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't have the energy and material resources to find her. ”

……

She said a lot until she had nothing more to say and then returned home.

Zhang Binglin is gone, but for her, it saves a lot of time. She doesn't have to worry about it every day, worrying about whether something will happen to Zhang Binglin when he is home alone, and she doesn't have to toss back and forth to bring him food.

Her life is once again on the right track.

Wu Ju couldn't wait at all, she secretly moved the things in the house, except for the mud walls and tiles that couldn't be moved, like ants moving, and secretly moved to the old man's house little by little.
