Ah Da nodded, poured another glass of wine, and said, "That surnamed Yu is too disagreeable, he thinks he is good to his mother, where do you know what the old man needs." ”

As he spoke, he put one hand on my shoulder, with a little drunkenness, "Chen Baxian, you said, isn't it too unreasonable to send the elderly to a nursing home, what the elderly need is not many playmates, but to be with their relatives, watching the joys and sorrows of their relatives, where is it like me, I want to accompany my parents, but they have been dead for more than ten years." ”

When he said this, his voice was very bitter, and a poem flashed in my mind, 'The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait'.

Just as I was about to say something, Ah Da poured me another glass of wine and talked to himself about his life experience, "When I was fifteen years old, my parents both returned to the West, and since then, there has been no family in this world. At the age of sixteen, he went to Quyang to learn carving, met Jiang Ye, and thanks to Jiang Ye, he did not give up and was accepted under the door. A few years ago, Jiang Ye found out that I had a relative in Hong Kong, and asked for my aunt's phone, I still remember the first time I called my aunt, she was so happy, really happy, happy to cry for a long time. Later, we often contacted by phone, and after a few years, before I knew it, I had taken her as my mother, and several times I wanted to quit this job and go to Hong Kong to accompany my aunt, remembering Jiang Ye's kindness to me, and I kept dragging it out. Last year, my aunt called and said that she was not in good health, and she might not live long, and she was afraid that she would be burned by a fire, so I asked her to go back to Dongxing Town to do the funeral, and I planned to go to Hong Kong to see her in a few days, but I didn't expect my aunt to die like this. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Ah Da's eyes were wet, and he picked up the beer and poured it down violently, muttering a sentence in his mouth, "Dead, my aunt is dead, and my only relative has left me." ”

Looking at the muscular seven-foot man in front of me, I felt very uncomfortable, stimulated by alcohol, he finally said the words that were usually hidden in his heart, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.

Subsequently, I drank a few beers with Ah Da, and they all said that wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk, which is not unreasonable, just a few beers, Ah Da was drunk, lying on the bench, and fell asleep with wet eyes.

I can more or less understand the bitterness in his heart, don't look at him as a big man, I mistake him for Ma Daha, only talk about brotherly righteousness, and look down on his relatives.

In fact, no, we are all confused by his appearance, and his inner desire for his relatives has exceeded ordinary people too much. Otherwise, they would not have made it so difficult for Huqin's mother and daughter because the deceased was sent to a nursing home by his descendants. If I let him know that the deceased was cut off alive by future generations, I don't dare to imagine what happened to Ah Da, I am determined in my heart for one thing, no matter what happens, I must not let Ah Da know the truth.

I found some clothes in the tombstone shop to cover Ah Da, and walked to the tombstone shop, it was pitch black outside, the temperature was very low, a few dim lights shone on Hu Qin and Yu Qian, and the mother and daughter knelt there with a tired face, looking at Ah Da with their eyes hooked.

"Did you hear him?" I asked lightly.

The two of them nodded, did not speak, and the filial piety clothes on their bodies were wet at some point.

"After the funeral, let Boss Yu come in person! Don't let Ah Da know the cause of the deceased's death, your family can do it yourself! I said this, turned around and went into the tombstone shop, and found a place to sleep and rest for the night.

Early the next morning, I slept in Zhengxiang, my body was shaken a few times, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Ah Da, Hu Qin, and Yu Qian, and it was Ah Da who shook my body, he touched the back of his head, showed a smirk, and said, "I didn't talk about drinking last night, did I?" ”

"No Le!" I sat up, and it was hard to say anything, after all, everyone has their own weaknesses.

"Uncle, it's not early, can we go to pay our filial piety first? Later, my mother and I will go to Chen Jiu's house. Yu Qian said respectfully on the side.

Seeing her look, she was very respectful to Ah Da, which was a good sign, I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm waiting for you here, it just so happens that I will go to the town to do some business, you can stay in the mourning hall for a long time." ”

Ah Da's face froze, and he said angrily: "Chen Baxian, don't you go with us?" According to the custom on our side, how can you, the person who does the funeral, leave the mourning hall, this is disrespectful to my aunt. ”

I smiled bitterly and told Liu Kai about the funeral, Ah Da was furious after hearing it, and said: "Made, it's the other day, he Liu Kai is tired of life, and he dares to come to his aunt's funeral to make trouble, and Lao Tzu killed him." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call, looking at the trend, he was planning to call someone to fight.

I hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "I have a sense of proportion, you just have to go to the incense, if you are not satisfied with the funeral, tell Director Lang, he is a confidant of this funeral." Of course, Ah Da, let's talk about it first, don't play the prestige of your mother's family, just go about it, after all, the deceased is dead, the deceased is the greatest, you should think about the deceased. ”

"I know, my cousin and niece knelt all night, and the resentment in my heart has almost disappeared, and I won't make anything difficult anymore. By the way, I heard Yu Qian say, you plan to invite the 118 helmsmen of Changlong, let me invite you, I will still take out this money. In addition, as a member of my mother's family, I will send a lift, fifty wreaths, fifty barrels of flowers, and the cost of the band today is counted in my name, just when I invite a drama troupe for my aunt, send her old man to the mountain, arrange a table for me in terms of banquet, and my seven brothers will go to the banquet with some gift money, I hope you will not make a mistake in the arrangement of the banquet. When Ah Da said this, he was very arrogant, and he didn't look like a poor money lord.

Hearing him say this, I roughly calculated, if my mother's family sends these things, it is estimated that it will cost about 100,000 yuan, and Ah Da is just working in a tombstone shop, can he get so much money?

To be honest, I was a little worried, so I pulled his sleeve with my hand and gave him a look, which meant don't be reckless, the main family has money.

He seemed to understand what I meant, shook his head, and said: "Chen Baxian, don't persuade me, I have made a lot of money by following Jiang Ye over the years, if it weren't for the failure of the investment last year, my courtesy would have been heavier, and now I have 100,000 yuan of cash left around me, which can be done for my grandmother, which is so much." ”

He said this very easily, but in my ears, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he took his whole worth to give gifts, which... This... How deep is this Ah Da's feelings for the deceased?

"Uncle, these etiquettes are good in your name, and you won't be allowed to break the bank in terms of money." Yu Qian said hurriedly on the side.

"Cousin, there's no need to be like this, it's good that you have your mind, in terms of money, let's take care of it!" Huqin said.

Ah Da stopped and said, "If you don't let me give gifts, this funeral won't go, I have made up my mind, don't say anything, and then look down on my mother's family." ”
