Chapter 137: The Fog Fills
Except for indirectly learning that Aunt Zhang's relationship with her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law was not very good, there was nothing else, so I returned to the funeral scene in frustration.
"Xuanzi, you eat here at noon today!" Aunt Zhang's eldest son met me at the door, he had a long white cloth on his head, and a straw was tied to the top of the white cloth, I don't know what the meaning of this is, but in the few funerals I have seen when I was a child, the children of the deceased and the daughter-in-law and son-in-law had to wear this white cloth on their heads. The two sides knelt on both sides of the mourning hall and kowtowed to the people who came and went to express their sadness.
"My grandmother let me go home to eat, and the family has made it all right." It's not that I don't want to eat here, it's that my grandmother doesn't want me to get involved, but I really want to eat with them, so I can find out some news.
"Xuanzi will go to the restaurant with us in a while, I'm about to leave, your grandmother is here, your uncle's family is here, why do you still eat at home?" Sister-in-law Zhang got up from the ground and said to me. Her hand touched my schoolbag, and I subconsciously dodged, "Yo, Xuanzi, what else are you on your schoolbag?" It's made of folded paper, right? "Huh? On my school bag?
She shoved the paper into my hand, "I know, today's children are all precocious, don't let your grandmother know, go home and put your schoolbag, and eat with us in a while." She and the eldest son of the Zhang family turned around and went to greet others, I looked at the small rectangular piece of paper in my hand, which was obviously a folded piece of letterpaper, and muttered in my heart, what is this? Who put it on my bag? I can't keep carrying it back like this, it's too embarrassing! My grandmother must be busy, so I'm not going to look for her, so let's go home first!
"Ah Xuan." I was just about to turn around and go home, but thick ink chased him out of it, and he wasn't angry with me?
"Is there something wrong?" I was actually happy in my heart, but on the surface I was suppressed.
His hand clapped me on the shoulder, "Bring my schoolbag over in a moment, I'll go to class in the afternoon, and I'll go straight over after eating." After saying that, without waiting for me to answer, he went in again to get busy with his work, which was really inexplicable.
"Oh." I replied in a whisper, for myself. Hey, where's the paper in my hand? Where did it fall? There is nothing on the ground! I'm in my pocket again? I groped all over my pocket, but I still didn't find where the letter was.
I simply ate a little food at home, went to my uncle's house and took the thick ink bag and went straight to the designated hotel, the hotel was already full of people, the grandmother beckoned to me at a table, I found that the table where the grandmother sat were all people at the door, uncle and aunt, Siyuan was also there, but I didn't see the thick ink, is it not over?
"Xuanzi, just sit next to your grandmother." Uncle Zhang, who greeted the guests on the side, said.
"No, Xuanzi has already eaten, and she still has to go to school." My grandmother wouldn't let me stay.
"Children, it's just a meal, big mother, don't care about Xuanzi too strictly." Uncle Zhang said that he brought a stool from elsewhere and inserted it directly next to the table. "Xuanzi, you just sit here, don't be afraid of your milk." Although Uncle Zhang had a little smile on his face, he could still feel the sadness in his bones, he touched my head, asked me to sit down, and turned around to go to another table, in fact, he didn't have to laugh, we can all understand.
"Milk." I looked like I had done something wrong, I kept my head down and didn't dare to look at her, but I still didn't listen to her.
"Have you eaten enough for lunch?" Listening to her tone, she didn't blame me.
"Hmm!" I nodded vigorously, "The dishes cooked by the family milk are so delicious, how could I not like to eat them." "But...... I smashed my mouth, but I wasn't full, I didn't have much appetite.
"Is the family grandmother too strict with you? You can stay and eat, Thick Ink is going to class in the afternoon, and you can go together after eating. ”
"Xuanzi, are you on vacation tonight?" My aunt asked me.
"Well, it's Friday." It's going to be a holiday again, and seeing that the end of the semester is approaching, I have to hurry up and review my homework, otherwise I will be left behind by the thick ink.
After the dishes were served, thick ink was late, he sat on the chair opposite me, next to him were people from the Xue family, Siyuan was playing by himself with his head down, I guess he was flirting with Lu'er, there was an uncle between my aunt and me, although her voice was small, but I could still hear it.
"That's right, didn't Xiaohui and Tianming quarrel that day, the sister-in-law went, I didn't expect it to be good this time, Xiaohui went back to her house in the middle of the night with the child, and the sister-in-law went home with peace of mind, no, it caused such a disaster." My aunt discussed with my uncle.
"No one can say for sure about human life." Uncle shook the teacup in his hand and shook it.
"Sister-in-law has also made a lot of prescriptions with you, and she is really dedicated to Brother Zhang, how many years have the husband and wife been respecting each other, alas, now that heaven and man are separated forever, Brother Zhang's friend also blamed himself to death, if he hadn't invited Brother Zhang to drink, maybe he could have escaped this catastrophe." My aunt shook her head, very sorry.
"Okay, Yuzhi, don't go outside to discuss this matter with others, there are no more people, it's too late to say anything." When my uncle said this, he said that he didn't want to discuss the topic anymore, and my aunt didn't say anything more.
I picked at the disposable bag with my hands, and it didn't take any effort to get it! Xiaohui in the mouth of my aunt is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and Tianming is the eldest son of the Zhang family, so to speak, on the night of the accident, the eldest daughter-in-law returned to her house, there is alibi evidence, and the witness is her eldest son, so now a very important person is...... Uncle Zhang's friend, Uncle Zhang went out to drink with friends, if only Uncle Zhang and his friends know about this matter, then his friends are suspicious, Aunt Zhang is not at home at night, his friends ask Uncle Zhang to drink, then there is no one at home, so that he can send someone to sneak into Zhang's house and steal money and things, but he was discovered by Aunt Zhang who went home, so he killed people and killed people, well, this is the general idea of my analysis, I'm sorting it out, well, it seems to be very smooth! I'm such a genius, I want to find this friend of Uncle Zhang first! I don't know this so-called friend of Uncle Zhang...... Where are you sitting today? I absentmindedly poked at the plastic bag covering the outside of the bowl as I looked around. It is possible that his friend is sitting at the same table as Uncle Zhang, but Uncle Zhang has been wandering around and has not sat in any seat at all, how can I find it? Then you can only confirm it when you wait until ten in the evening when the mountain people sign up for the word and cry in the mourning hall.
"Uncle." I tugged at my uncle's pants, and when he saw that I had something to say, he stuck his head over. "Uncle Zhang's drinking friend, will he be sad?"
"Xuanzi also knows." My uncle said to me: "He should be very sad, you are not here this morning, he is crying miserably in the mourning hall, it seems that he is really repentant, he is also a person of the same generation as your Uncle Zhang, and he kowtowed to Tianming to admit his mistake, saying that he was guilty of losing his mother." "Crying so badly?
"Did Brother Ming and Second Brother Ming forgive him that day?"
"Why don't you forgive, but it seems that they don't know each other, and they don't seem to have met, because when he first came, no one could recognize him, and he left after crying, and he didn't stay for lunch." Uncle said.
"Dayin, why are you talking to Xuanzi? Children just need to read good books! The grandmother scolded my uncle, who squeezed his eyes at me and silenced me when he answered "yes". It turns out that my uncle is also so afraid of my grandmother, but he is not afraid, he is filial, he just doesn't want to make my grandmother angry.
I pouted and continued to poke the plastic bag boringly, and the thick ink didn't seem to care about us on the other side, and continued to be his air. Uncle's words just now have been hovering in my mind, since that friend can cry so badly, he must have seen Aunt Zhang, otherwise a simple confession would be like this? I always feel that he has overworked, since I know Aunt Zhang, and Uncle Zhang has been close friends for many years, how can I not know the son of the Zhang family? This can only be interpreted as a far-fetched friendship of the previous generation, but they are all in the same town, how can old friends not even meet their children? When children do big things, such as getting married and having children, won't they come? Leaving after crying can be understood as too sad and don't want to stay in the sad place, but an old friend for many years has died of his wife, so he will stay to help deal with the aftermath, and no matter how bad it is, he will accompany and comfort his old friend......
"Give me the bag." Thick ink finally spoke on the other side, interrupting the train of thought that my clever brain cells came up with, it was really ...... I raised my fist at him underneath, and of course, only I could see the thoughts I had managed to come up with, when to give him the bag.
I gave the schoolbag to my uncle, and my uncle passed it to thick ink, I continued to poke the bag, the dishes on the table were almost finished, I scanned the table, and saw the two back-to-back fish, I completely lost my appetite, I was not interested in eating the funeral table at all, in this atmosphere, no matter how delicious the dishes were, I couldn't swallow my throat.
"Hurry upstairs and save someone! Someone upstairs is going to jump! "I was thinking when a frightened voice pulled me out, someone was about to jump off the building! Just upstairs from our hotel? This hotel is eight floors! This fall is still immortal and crippled to a certain extent! I threw down the chopsticks I had just pulled out and went to the elevator.
"Xuanzi." The grandmother called me from behind.
"I'm going to find the toilet!" I replied casually and followed the flow of people to find the elevator.
But when I got to the elevator, the elevator had already gone up, the stairs! Go find the stairs! There were also some people pouring into the stairs, so I drilled into the flow of people, "Let go!" Don't go up so many people, it will cause panic! The police will be here in a moment! "I pushed my motor cells to the limit, I lifted my legs and climbed up the stairs, I wanted to go up before them! Tongue, tongue! I have to be a lot ahead to use my tongue! Run!
"Lin Xuan, stop!" In the noisy crowd, I heard the sound of thick and anxious ink, but I couldn't stop, I had to hurry up!
