Chapter 53: Second Uncle Su

Seeing Chu Feng walking out of the cornfield, Chen Shanyuan, Su Xiaoxiao and others hurriedly surrounded him and asked what happened, Chu Feng shook his head and returned the phone to Su Xiaoxiao, "I really made a mistake just now, nothing." After saying that, he walked straight to the vehicle.

Several people looked at each other, Hu Die repeatedly emphasized that he was not mistaken, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Feng's back, and didn't say anything at the moment, pulled up Hu Die, and returned to the car.

Chen Shanyuan turned his head to look at the cornfield again, frowned, and then turned to follow, and the two staff members of the funeral home also returned to the transfer cart.

After walking away again, Chu Feng's eyes kept looking out the window, Chen Shanyuan swallowed back several times when he wanted to talk to him, and Hu Die kept emphasizing that he was not mistaken.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Feng from the rearview mirror and interrupted Hu Die, Chen Shanyuan took the opportunity to chat with her about the previous topic again, and Hu Die was quickly taken away by him.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Su Huanghuang's hometown in Donglai Village, the gate was brightly lit, two white lanterns fluttered in the wind, and all kinds of stoves for sitting were placed around.

Before the vehicle stopped, someone walked out, and then greeted the courtyard, and soon the crying was everywhere, and a middle-aged man with a white cloth on his head ran out, followed by a middle-aged woman of the same age and some young juniors, the middle-aged man cried loudly when he saw Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly couldn't control her crying, and the middle-aged woman hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Hu Die told Chu Feng and the two that the middle-aged man who came out first was Su Xiaoxiao's second uncle, the middle-aged woman was her second aunt, and the people behind were some juniors, some had seen and some had not.

Su Huihuang's parents died in his early years, and it was through his own efforts and the help of his father-in-law that he worked hard to build his current family business, while his younger brother Su Huiyao has been staying in his hometown to farm.

Over the years, with the help of Su Huihuang, two pig farms have been built in the village, and life is not bad, the children are still in college, and the relationship between the brothers has always been very good.

After hearing the news of his brother's sudden death, he was about to rush to Meishan, but later learned that Su Xiaoxiao would take his brother's body back to his hometown for burial the next day, so he calmed down.

From the time they set off, Su Xiaoxiao's mobile phone would ring almost every hour or two, all from her second uncle.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Chen Shanyuan and Hu Die's faces were a little moved, and Chu Feng was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he just stood aside and didn't speak at the moment.

And the two funeral home staff had long been accustomed to it, and then with the help of everyone, the ice coffin containing Su Huanghuang was lifted off the transfer cart, and after burying Su Huanghuang's body into the coffin prepared in advance, the ice coffin was stuffed back into the transfer cart with the help of everyone, and after settling the fee, he rushed back overnight without even eating.

It was already more than four o'clock in the morning after the busy work, and the villagers who came to help were dispatched, and the courtyard quickly quieted down, leaving only Su Huiyao's family and Su Xiaoxiao, Hu Die, Chu Feng, and Chen Shanyuan.

After more than ten hours of driving, several people were already hungry, at this time, a table of food was served under Uncle Su's Zhang Luo, Su Xiaoxiao has been staying by her father's coffin in a daze since the villagers who helped left, Hu Die gave her food and sent it over, Su Xiaoxiao burst into tears after just two bites, Su Eraunt saw this and stepped forward to replace Hu Die, and asked Hu Die to eat first She came to accompany Su Xiaoxiao.

Sitting at the dining table and looking at Su Xiaoxiao in the spirit shed, Second Uncle Su sighed, smashed a few puffs of cigarette and said: "You don't know, my niece, I have been with his father since she was a child, and she came to live in our house during the summer vacation when she was a child, and every time she left, she had to let me pick a bag of her father's favorite green walnuts for her,"

"I once came back from the winter vacation with her mother, and when I left, I remembered this stubble, you said that there were green walnuts in that season, and in the end, I really couldn't help it, so I dyed the peeled dried walnuts with green paint for her, and then I left satisfied,"

"Later, when I grew up, I came back less, and occasionally I didn't forget to ask me to prepare green walnuts for her in advance...... Alas, Xiaoxiao's life is too hard, my sister-in-law passed away three years ago, and now it's my brother again......"

When Second Uncle Su said this, his eyes were already filled with tears, his voice was choked, he lowered his head and wiped his eyes, raised his hand and said: "You guys eat and don't care about me, I've been hungry for a day, and after eating, hurry up and rest for a while......" Second Uncle Su suddenly remembered something, took a puff of cigarette and looked at Chu Feng and the others: "Oh yes, Xiaoxiao just said that you should preside over the funeral, you see what else you need, I will hurry up and buy it." ”

Chen Shanyuan hurriedly put down the half pig's foot that he was gnawing, waved his hand, puffed out his cheeks and said, "Don't use anything, we're all ready." ”

Second Uncle Su nodded, got up and refilled some tea in each of the three people's bowls, and after sitting down again, he frowned and asked, "Isn't it fashionable for you to be cremated in the city, and you can make money in this business like you?" ”

Chen Shanyuan raised his eyebrows, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "We are friends of Mr. Su, and this time we are here to see him off for the last time, and it has nothing to do with whether we make money or not." ”

Second Uncle Su felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly got up and handed Chen Shanyuan a cigarette, "I can't speak, don't be surprised." ”

Taking the lighter handed by Second Uncle Su, Chen Shanyuan put the cigarette on the right, lit it and patted his hand, "It's your brother Su who is surprised, I have nothing to do with Mr. Su, others don't know Xiaoxiao knows best, otherwise she wouldn't come to me, right?" ”

Second Uncle Su nodded again and again, "That's that, Brother Chen, what do you think you want to add another dish?" ”

Chen Shanyuan just wanted to speak, but Chu Feng interjected at this time: "Second Uncle Su, is there a person named Dakuan in your village?" His wife's name is Xiaomei. ”

Second Uncle Su frowned, "You know each other?" ”

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, a friend of mine knows him, and when he came, he asked me to bring them a message, saying that the children in the family will celebrate their twelfth birthday next month and invite them to participate." ”

Chen Shanyuan looked at Chu Feng with a puzzled expression, "Why don't I know?" Which of your friends? ”

Chu Feng looked at him, "You don't know, I'll tell you later." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Second Uncle Su and said, "Is there such a person?" ”

Second Uncle Su nodded, "Didn't you say it earlier, Da Kuan was helping to carry the coffin just now." ”

Chu Feng frowned, "Don't worry, it's not too late to see him after dawn." ”

Second Uncle Su nodded, turned his head to look at Second Aunt Su in the spirit shed and said, "Is the bed made?" ”

Second Aunt Su patted Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said something, then got up and walked over, "It's good morning, the bath water is hot." ”

Second Uncle Su then turned around, "Brother Chen, do you think you need to add another dish?" ”

Chen Shanyuan waved his hand, "Brother Su, you and I are our own people, don't be so polite, you and your younger siblings should hurry up and rest, and you will have to preside over the overall situation after dawn." ”

Second Uncle Su sighed, "How can I fall asleep, after today, our two brothers will never see each other again......"

At this time, the sky had begun to turn white, and the sound of birds chirping from the plane trees in the courtyard was heard, and Su Xiaoxiao's already thin body leaning on the coffin under the fading light gradually faded seemed more and more lonely at this time......
