Chapter Twenty-Four: Running for Funeral

Time is so fast, it's winter, this kind of regular days are also passing quite quickly, and now it's the 39th season, the coldest days in winter. Lying in bed late at night, how to sleep on the quilt is not warm, the feet are cold and cold, this kind of lonely pillow when sleeping, I miss the scene of squeezing the quilt with a few little guys at home! In the cold winter, a few little feet together in the quilt, so warm, every winter my feet are from the night ice to the next morning, the whole night has not warmed, my husband will use his thighs to clamp my feet, so that his temperature to me. I miss it so much!

The weather is too cold, the feet have been icy, tossing and turning can not sleep well, sleep and wake up, nightmares continue, restless, more than three o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone suddenly rang, a look is a strange call in C city, who called in the middle of the night, it should be a harassing call, said a "boring", and hung up.

Not long after I hung up, I called again, and it was still that strange number, this guy didn't give up and called, I hung up, I think you have patience or I have patience, but just hang up and call again, think about it, it's not like a harassing call, and suddenly remember that the eldest sister is not in C City? Will something happen, the third time I finally answered: "Hey! ”。 A hurried female voice over there sounded, "Qingqing, why don't you answer my call" It turned out to be really my sister in C City.

"I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so I didn't answer it." I say.

"My phone is out of battery, take someone else's" My sister's voice was very wrong, and she was crying in a hurry.

"Qingqing, the eldest brother is gone, woo woo......" the eldest sister said while crying. When I heard the bad news, my heart sank and fell to the freezing point, but I never believed it was true.

"Sister, in the middle of the night, what are you kidding?" I tried to speak calmly.

"No kidding, it's true, my mother called me just now, I can't believe it, but it's the truth, woo woo......"

"What's the reason, why is it so sudden?" I asked, holding back tears.

"It was a heart attack." The sister continued to cry there.

"How can you have a heart attack?" I asked.

"It was his son's father-in-law who came to chase his daughter's sale money......"

From my sister's intermittent crying, I finally heard a general idea: it turned out that my eldest brother's son had reached the age of marriage, and he himself knew a girl in a neighboring county, and the girl's father asked 100,000 yuan before he was willing to marry his daughter to my eldest brother's son, that is, my nephew. Yesterday, the girl's father came to the door to ask for this gift money, and he was a cheater and coerc, and he didn't give money, but my eldest brother was an ordinary farmer, where to get 100,000 yuan for others, and the money couldn't be taken out, and he was afraid that his son would not have a wife, and under pressure, he was in a bad mood, so he drank a lot of wine, and the weather was cold, and he had a heart attack in the middle of the night and never woke up. Ay! My nephew had already told him that there was no grass at the end of the world, and the other party wanted so much money and asked him to give up the girl, but he didn't.

My sister's big story made me numb to it, and I felt that human nature was really cruel.

"Your brother-in-law and I are driving back now, so you can go back quickly." After my sister finished speaking, she wanted to hang up the phone. I suddenly remembered my brother-in-law's broken van, and it was too dangerous to drive on the highway in the middle of the night, so I told her, "Tell my brother-in-law to drive carefully." ”

hung up the phone, and the tears that he had been holding back for a long time finally flowed down with a bang, and while crying, he hurriedly collected a few pieces of luggage, and ran to knock on Leng Shao, "Leng Shao, Leng Shao, open the door, help!" ”

Leng Shao was woken up by me, came out in pajamas to open the door, and when he saw my face full of tears, he panicked and hurriedly asked me, "Is there something uncomfortable?" I'll take you to the hospital. ”

"No, no." I shook my head and said.

"My eldest brother went, what happened just now, I'm going back now, but I haven't booked any high-speed rail tickets and plane tickets in the middle of the night, woo, can you take me to the bus station now?" I cried and said. For this sudden incident, Leng Shao probably didn't know how to comfort me. Then he said, "Yes!" Qingqing, you wait for me for five minutes, and I'll go change my clothes. You can go to the gate and wait for me first. Then he went to his room.

After going out, after a while, he drove directly into the gas station, and after filling up, he went straight to the highway and went straight to City B.

It wasn't until I saw the sign at the highway intersection that I realized that this was not the way to the bus station, but a direct direction to City B.

I hurriedly asked, "Why did you get on the highway directly, didn't we go to the bus station?" ”

"If you go back alone like this, I don't worry, I'll send you back directly. If there's something, you have a baby. ”

"No, Leng Shao, this is my own business, I really don't want to trouble you, you better send me to the station."

"It's okay, I've arranged everything for the company. In general, the secretary will take care of it. Important matters will be postponed until I come back. You can sleep peacefully and you will be home in no time. When I arrive, I'll call you again. I nodded again. I could only nod my head, because at this time, I was completely out of order, and I could only listen to his arrangement.

Actually, I really didn't expect him to say that, who is he to me? There is only an indescribable gratitude to him in my heart. This reminds me that not long after I got my driver's license, my husband's car was used by my husband to pay off the debt, and I haven't touched the car much.

He drove the Cayenne down the highway and sat in the car with a heavy heart. Looking at the lights flashing outside the window, my mind kept coming back to the smiling face of my eldest brother when I was a child, and I kept recalling the time I spent with my eldest brother when I was a child. When he was a child, his family was poor, and his eldest brother went out to work at the age of sixteen, and they all said that the eldest brother was like a father, he was big, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was naturally the heaviest, so he could only go out to work at a young age to subsidize the family's living expenses, so he only had a Chinese at the beginning and failed to go to college. I remember when I was in college, my eldest brother said that his eldest brother was like a father, and he volunteered to take me to school, and I still remember the first day of school, he helped me carry a large bag of things to school, helped me carry my things to the dormitory, and helped me lay all the bedding before leaving. And the monthly living expenses are all sent by him...... Now there is no reward for him, but he is gone.

"It's only 100,000 yuan, and it's unreasonable to force people to death." I muttered.

"Qingqing, although I don't know what happened, if you told me earlier that you wanted 100,000 yuan, if this 100,000 yuan can be exchanged for a human life, I will give it." Leng Shao said, his tone was very sincere.

"No, he won't trouble me, he'd rather die than trouble me." When I had said this, I buried my head in a very heavy heart.

"Qingqing, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to take care! You yourself are not in good health, don't be too sad. ”

"Thank you Leng Shao, if it weren't for you tonight, I wouldn't know what to do."

"I said I would protect you, you can sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's time." He turned around and talked to me as he drove. I didn't want him to be distracted by driving, so I stopped talking, leaned back in my seat and pretended to sleep, in fact, how could I sleep when I encountered such a big thing.

The car is speeding on the highway, at this time it is almost to the hometown, usually the high-speed to 5 hours away, was cold to drive into 3 and a half hours, it is conceivable, he is really anxious for me, really help me. It's already in town, and in ten minutes it's in the village.
