Chapter 54: The Dusty Gossip Mirror
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, Chu Feng and Chen Shanyuan were sleepless, and the two sat with Second Uncle Su until dawn, Hu Die stayed with the juniors of Second Uncle Su's family after eating, and Second Aunt Su and several women in her family began to prepare breakfast.
According to local custom, the funeral begins at 9 a.m., first the immediate family members pay their respects, then the relatives, and after the worship is completed, the spirit is moved, that is, the coffin is carried to the intersection.
During this period, the suona, drummer, and drummer will play different tunes with the worship ceremony, get up on time at 11 o'clock and then go straight to the cemetery for burial.
The process is complicated, I won't repeat it one by one, the funeral ended at more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and when I returned to Uncle Su's house, the white lanterns at the gate and the spiritual shed in the courtyard had been removed, and several villagers were helping to clean up the yard.
Su Xiaoxiao's face was full of tiredness at this time, tears still existed on her face, Aunt Su took her and Hu Die to the side room to rest, Chen Shanyuan also yawned and walked into the other room by himself, fell asleep on the sofa.
Second Uncle Su brought a middle-aged man in his forties to Chu Feng at this time, "Little brother, this is the Dakuan you are looking for, I was too busy to take care of it before, if you have anything to say, I still have to settle accounts with the council." ”
Chu Feng nodded, Second Uncle Su immediately turned away, the middle-aged man was wearing an old-fashioned camouflage uniform, his face was dark, and a pair of big eyes looked at Chu Feng suspiciously, "Second Brother Su said that someone asked you to bring me a message saying that their child will celebrate his twelfth birthday next month, but I don't know anyone in Meishan." ”
Chu Feng shook his head, "That's me lying to him, this message can only be known to you and your family." ”
The middle-aged man named Da Kuan suddenly became vigilant, "Why can't you let others know?" ”
Chu Feng looked around, "This is not the place to talk, you take me to your house first, and I will naturally tell you when I go." ”
"You, if you don't say I'm leaving." The middle-aged man wanted to turn around and leave, but Chu Feng pressed his shoulder and said, "Are you Ranran's father?" ”
Da Kuan's body trembled obviously, and he looked at Chu Feng in shock, "You, how did you know?" ”
Chu Feng paused and said, "If you take me to your house, I will naturally tell you." ”
Da Kuan gritted his teeth, "You wait for me, I'll go and say hello to Second Brother Su." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Second Uncle Su who was not far away, the two talked a few words, Second Uncle Su nodded, and looked over to Chu Feng, "Little brother, wait for you and Brother Dakuan to come back for dinner early!" ”
Chu Feng nodded, and walked in front of him with a calm face, "Let's go." ”
Donglai Village is not big, and in less than five minutes, the two of them came to a house, and when they passed by the apricot tree, Chu Feng specially looked up, and then walked in behind Da Kuan.
The courtyard gate and fence are newly built, but the houses in the courtyard are all blue brick houses from the nineties of the last century, with three rooms in a row, occupying only half of the foundation, and the other half is enclosed by a fence, in which some vegetables are planted that have not yet grown.
There were two low adobe houses on the left and right, and the sound of a donkey's nose was heard in the west one, Chu Feng frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but echo in his mind, and Ran Ran said that his father had sold the tricycle in order to treat him.
Although the door frame of the main room was newly painted with red paint, it was still difficult to hide the dilapidated appearance, and Chu Feng was about to walk towards the middle room, when the door of the house on the west side was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman with a headscarf wrapped around her head walked out, and glanced at Chu Feng curiously, "Da Kuan, someone is here." ”
Dakuan waved his hand impatiently, "Don't ask, go back to the house." ”
At this moment, the cry of a baby suddenly came from the house, the middle-aged woman's face tightened, and she hurriedly turned around and opened the door and ran in, Da Kuan glanced at the next window with a worried face, turned her head to Chu Feng and said, "Let's go in and say." ”
"Wait." At this time, Chu Feng looked up at the dusty gossip mirror hanging above the door and said, "This is what you hung up?" ”
Da Kuan looked up, with panic in his eyes, "Who the hell are you?" ”
Chu Feng was about to speak, when an old lady with white hair walked out of the east room, and when she saw Chu Feng, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked over to Da Kuan nervously, "Kuanzi, is the child making trouble again?" ”
Da Kuan hurriedly walked over, "It's okay Mom, just cry for a while, it's windy outside, you go back to the house quickly, I'll say something here." ”
The crying of the baby in the house came and went, and Chu Feng's face changed: "Not good! After that, he took a step forward and opened the door of the house and broke in, Da Kuan hurriedly chased after him, "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as Chu Feng entered the room, the baby's crying stopped abruptly, and when he saw the baby in the arms of the middle-aged woman, Chu Feng's heart sank, and then Da Kuan grabbed Chu Feng, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Big wide! The kid is out of gas! The middle-aged woman suddenly became nervous.
Da Kuan's face changed, and he hurriedly let go of Chu Feng and was about to hold the child in the arms of the middle-aged woman, but Chu Feng pulled him at this time, "Show me!" ”
"You go away! I'll settle accounts with you later! Da Kuan shook Chu Feng away, snatched the baby in the arms of the middle-aged woman and held it in his arms, shaking up and down and shouting the baby's name, "Pippi, Pippi!" ”
Da Kuanniang came in and took a look, and fell backwards without taking a breath, "Mom! Before the big wide shout fell, Chu Feng caught it, helped her to the chair, took out two silver needles from the storage bag on his waist and stabbed them directly at the big hole on his chest, turned a few times and pulled it out violently, and then the old lady coughed and slowly opened her eyes.
After Chu Feng got up, he took a step forward and snatched the baby in Dakuan's arms, and after a glance, the baby's face turned blue, and there was a faint black gas between his eyebrows, and then he bit his fingertips and pointed directly at the baby's eyebrows, and then turned upside down, slapped his back suddenly, and the cry sounded again, turned over and tried the baby's snort, his face relaxed, "It's okay." Then he returned the baby to the middle-aged woman.
Seeing her child come back to life, the middle-aged woman cried with joy, "My Pippi is alive again, my Pippi is alive again!" ”
Da Kuanniang burst into tears, and knelt in front of Chu Feng with a "plop", "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
Chu Feng hurriedly helped her up, "Auntie, get up quickly, if you want to thank you, you should thank your family." ”
"Yet?" Da Kuanniang was stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged woman was even more confused, "Benefactor, you, what do you mean by this?" ”
Da Kuan sighed at this time, grabbed his hair with both hands and squatted down violently, slapping his head hard, "Ranran, it's Dad I'm sorry for you, Dad is sorry for you......" A big man actually cried.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and Da Kuanniang asked anxiously: "Kuanzi, what the hell is going on?" ”
Da Kuan slapped his head vigorously and shouted Ran Ran's name over and over again, he really couldn't face his mother's questioning......
