My aunt's house has a vegetable patch, and my aunt's mother-in-law is watering the vegetables, and I went to greet her, and the old man was quite enthusiastic, so he quickly put down his busy work and came over to take over what I was doing.

"You said that you kid, what are you buying from so far away, it's very good that you're here, and I'm already very happy." She said as she pulled us into the house.

When I walked to the door, Gu Bonan suddenly stopped and was reluctant to go inside, and I asked him what was wrong with some doubts.

He glanced at his mother-in-law, who had already gone into the house to wash her hands, and then whispered in my ear, "I can't enter this house, they have incense, and there are door gods and ancestors in the house, so I can only wait for you outside the door." ”

"Doesn't it mean that people go to the underworld when they die? Are their ancestors still there? ”

"When people die, they go to the underworld to report, but if the family takes the incense, they will have a period of time at home to watch the door. But when the time comes, he will still return to the underworld. Moreover, family members can return to the world to visit after death. ”

So that's the case, so I'm the only one to go in?

"What are you still doing at the door, come in and sit down......," the mother-in-law beckoned to us from inside the house.

I glanced at Gu Bonan, and he nodded at me and let me in. I had no choice but to leave him outside the door and go in by myself.

Seeing me come in by myself, my mother-in-law asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't that young man come in?" Do you dislike me for being so simple? ”

"No, no, no, no, he ...... It's his first time in the country, and he thinks you're in a very good environment, so he wants to walk around first. Leave him alone, he'll come in himself in a moment. After I finished explaining, I was afraid that she would continue the topic, so I quickly diverted her attention and said, "Mother-in-law, my aunt has passed away for a while, and you see that I haven't come to see you, I'm really sorry for you!" ”

As soon as I mentioned my aunt, the old man's eyes turned red. Shaking his head and sighing, he asked me to sit, "Alas, speaking of which, I'm really sad." My son and daughter-in-law both left before the two of us, and now my grandson has not called back, and we don't know his whereabouts, to be honest, if you don't come today, we plan to go to the city to find you in a few days. ”

It was a coincidence, and it seems that I came at the right time. She should have gone to the city to find the fat man, after all, the fat man was the only grandson of their family, and now he may be their only support.

Seeing that the two old people are so old and lonely, I can't bear it in my heart. But how am I supposed to tell them...... Tell them that the fat man might have done something illegal, so now he doesn't even call back.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow and injury to the elderly. No matter what, I can't tell them the truth of the matter.

Even if the body is okay, seventy years old is really not young. My mother-in-law's hair was much grayer, probably because she had no income, she didn't even have a decent set of clothes, and the shoes on her feet were worn out.

I looked around the room and saw that there wasn't even any decent furniture in it. I heard before that this house was built by my mother-in-law and her husband to save money and save money and leave it for the fat man.

Two seventy-year-old people, relying on the cultivation of a lifetime of farming to save money to build a house for the fat man, I think about it sourly, but the fat man is so angry!

"Mother-in-law, do you want to go into the city to find my cousin? He's not in the city now, he's gone abroad. I went abroad to do business, maybe it will be busy in the past few years, because it is abroad, so there is no way to call you. When he was leaving, he specially told me to come and see you, and asked me to bring you some money, saying that he would send you money and letters every month in the future, so you don't have to worry about him. ”

After I finished speaking, I quickly took out the two thousand yuan in cash in my bag and gave it to her. When I was paid to me by the high-profile United States, I deposited some of it into the card and left some cash. Now it's time to come in handy.

The mother-in-law took it worriedly when she saw the money, "So much money? How's he doing out there now? It's not easy to live abroad, right? Does he have any money himself? Otherwise, you should return the money to me, and he will have to take care of himself abroad. We are so old that we haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, and the two of us are so old that we haven't saved money for him to marry a daughter-in-law, and now we are most worried about him. ”

"Don't worry about him, he's doing well out there right now. In the future, I will send you a little money every month, and you can take care of your body in your hometown, although he also wants to take care of you by his side, but after all, he is young, if he doesn't go out to fight now, he won't have a chance in the future, I hope you two old people can understand him. I said.

In fact, I feel quite remorseful for saying these words, for the elderly, there is nothing more important than companionship, not to mention that the two old people have lost their sons and daughters-in-law, and now their grandson is their only hope, but those cruel facts, I really can't continue to tell them.

My mother-in-law didn't say anything after listening to me, and reluctantly accepted the money. I told my mother-in-law that I wanted to see my aunt's room, and because my aunt had left quite suddenly, I wanted to see her things. Miss her.

My mother-in-law agreed without saying a word, and I followed her to my aunt's room. Although the aunt is no longer alive, the mother-in-law still comes to clean her room every day, so when the aunt was alive, they didn't get along very well, but in fact, the mother-in-law was still very good to the aunt.

"Your aunt has a short temper and often likes to lose her temper on weekdays. I'm an old person, and sometimes I can't stand it and say a few words about her. Speaking of which, I am also a little ashamed, when your mother died, I couldn't go over with your aunt to make incense, I hope you don't take it to heart, after all, I'm too old to take care of so much. The mother-in-law said apologetically.

I opened the bedside table and was looking through some old photos left by my aunt before, and when I heard her say this, my hand paused, as if I had grasped something. "Mother-in-law, you just said that when my mother died, my aunt went to my house alone, right?"

"Yes, she went alone! I went for a few days before I came back, and when I came back, I was distracted. ”

"Did she go to my mother's funeral or what?" I continued to ask eagerly.
