Chapter 30: Another Death
While the two were talking, a middle-aged man wearing a tunic with a flat head, carrying a small cloth bag, appeared on the concrete floor in front of the house.
Seeing this familiar figure, Cen Fan quickly caught up, took the cloth bag, and shouted, "Dad!"
The man handed the cloth bag to Cen Fan, and asked as he walked, "Is your school on holiday?"
Cen Fan didn't speak, and when he walked up to his mother, he gave her a look, and then went into the house and put down the cloth bag.
Cen Fan's mother hurriedly moved a small wooden stool and placed it in front of Cen Fan's father, and she also moved the wooden stool to sit opposite him.
As soon as Cen Fan's father sat down, he asked suspiciously, "Why did Xiao Fan come back today?"
"O founding of the country! I was about to tell you about our son. Cen Fan's mother said.
Cen Jianguo glanced at the room and suddenly asked excitedly, "What's the matter?" Did he get into trouble? ”
"It's not that you don't understand our son, what trouble he can cause."
Cen Jianguo thought about it, and this is also the reason, Cen Fan has been the kind of inconspicuous boy since he was a child, and he has never caused anything.
"What the hell is that? You mean! Cen Jianguo asked a little anxiously.
Tang Qin moved the wooden bench and told Cen Jianguo about Cen Fan.
After listening to what Tang Qin said, Cen Jianguo couldn't believe it, "This... How did you get expelled? ”
"Don't believe it, those people in the city are too deep in their routines, and they are pitting our son!"
"No! Tomorrow I will go to Yanbei and talk to the principal! How can there be such a thing? Cen Jianguo said excitedly. After speaking, he was about to stand up, but was stopped by Tang Qin.
"Don't get excited, it's useless if you go." Tang Qin asked Cen Jianguo to sit down again, "Look! My son now has a stable job, I think it's good, wouldn't it be nice to earn money early and start a family early? ”
Cen Jianguo didn't respond, dragging his head with his hands and pondering.
"Think about it!" After speaking, Tang Qin walked into the house.
Coming to Cen Fan, Tang Qin whispered: "Son, don't worry, no matter what you do, as long as it is not illegal and undisciplined, my mother will support you."
"Thank you, Mom! Just know you're the best. ”
"Alright, Mom is going to cook. You go out and talk to your dad. ”
Cen Fan nodded, walked over to Cen Jianguo and sat down.
Regarding Cen Fan's expulsion, Cen Jianguo still didn't believe it.
As soon as Cen Fan sat down, Cen Jianguo asked confirmatively, "You were really expelled?"
Cen Fan didn't talk much to his father since he was a child, but responded lightly: "Hmm! It's true. ”
Cen Jianguo pondered again.
Looking at his contemplative father, Cen Fan also had five flavors of grains in his heart, and he always felt a little sorry for them. But Cen Fan's personality is the same as his father, he is the kind of person who can't speak well. He didn't know what to say at this point.
"Huh! This may be the fate of our old Cen family! Cen Jianguo said with a sigh.
"Dad! Don't think about it. Isn't it nice that I have a stable job now, and not only do I not have to spend your money in the future, but I can also save some money every month? Cen Fan comforted.
Cen Jianguo thought about it, and he could only do this, but he didn't know what Cen Fan's current job was, so he looked at Cen Fan and asked, "What job are you looking for?"
Cen Fan told his father that he learned to make coffins in a coffin shop in Yanbei, not to mention food and housing, and he could earn two or three thousand a month.
After hearing this, Cen Jianguo nodded, feeling that this work was okay. Everyone dies, although cremation is popular in cities, but in rural areas, burial is still the mainstay.
"Okay! Work hard, earn some money, and then start a small business, and your mother and I will rely on you in the future. Cen Jianguo patted Cen Fan's shoulder and said.
"Hmmm! I promise to buy you a big house in the future. Cen Fan said with a smile.
After saying that, both father and son laughed.
When it comes to buying a house, Cen Fan plans to stabilize in the future, buy a big house in Yanbei City, and then open a small supermarket for the second elder. He knew that if he let them be idle, they would not be idle. If you happen to open a small supermarket, you can pass the time and make some money.
"That's it! Stop talking, it's time to eat. At this time, Tang Qin suddenly shouted to the two outside.
By this time it was already dark and they could not see, and the two of them moved all the wooden benches outside into the house, and then closed the door.
There is a saying here in the countryside that when it gets dark, you must move chairs and stools into the house, otherwise there will be ghosts sitting on the stools outside at night.
Tang Qin made a big bowl of rice, handed it to Cen Fan and said, "Son! Eat more. Mom made your favorite food, plum cabbage button pork and sausage fried potatoes. ”
Cen Fan thanked his mother, handed the rice bowl to Cen Jianguo, and said, "Dad! Here you go! ”
Seeing this move, Tang Qin was very happy in his heart, and smiled and gave Cen Fan a new bowl. And although Cen Jianguo didn't have any expression on the surface, he was very moved in his heart.
The three of them sat at the table, chatting about family life, and the picture was particularly warm.
The three of them began to talk about work, chatting and chatting, Cen Fan's mother talked about marriage, saying that she wanted to hold her grandson and asked Cen Fan to find a girlfriend quickly. Cen Fan looked embarrassed.
After eating, Cen Fan helped his parents clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went back to the room to rest.
The next morning, before Cen Fan got up, he heard his father talking to someone outside.
Cen Fan got up and walked to the window, and after listening for a while, he realized that another one had died in the village. This time it was a woman who died, like the man who died yesterday, without a single scar on her body, as if she had died for no reason.
Not long after, Cen Fan's father was about to go to work, and the villager also left his house and went elsewhere.
It just so happened that Cen Fan was fine now, so he got dressed and walked directly to the house where the accident happened.
If something happened to the village, there would definitely be a lot of people, so Cen Fan quickly found the west side of the village according to the sound of the villagers talking.
When he walked to the back of a mud house, he could clearly hear the sound of talking and crying.
"Looks like this is it." After speaking, Cen Fan sped up and quickly walked around to the front of the house.
When I came to the front, I saw that there were a lot of people outside the house, and Cen Fan squeezed into the crowd to see it. On the ground lay a somewhat obese woman in her early thirties, her eyes wide open.
Cen Fan took a closer look and found that there seemed to be no scars on her body, just when he was fascinated. An old man wearing glasses and an old suit, about fifty or sixty years old, who looked energetic, walked into the crowd.
"The village chief is here, the village chief is here." Someone outside the crowd shouted.
Seeing that the village chief was coming, everyone made way for a small road.
The village chief walked into the crowd, looked at the dead woman and said, "Just like yesterday, can't you close your eyes?"
Everyone nodded.
The village chief sighed and said, "You guys are guarding here, and I'll go and ask Granny Li." After that, you have to step out of the crowd.
Cen Fan grabbed the village chief and said, "Village chief, I'll go!"
"Good! Then it's troublesome for you. The village thanked. Walked back to the crowd.
Cen Fan nodded, and walked quickly towards Granny Li's house.
