Chapter 82
As if answering me, Mama Feng chatted with the uncle who brought us in the local language, and the uncle left with a smile.
"Come in, it's like coming to your own home, there's nothing you can't get used to." Feng's mother is very good at talking.
We were directly invited by Feng's mother to go up to the second floor, and there were a few women sitting on the second floor, gathering together to sew things, judging from the fabric, they were making things for the dead.
"Mother Feng, who is this thing for?" I asked, puzzled.
Feng Ma glanced into a room and whispered, "Don't you know?" ”
I shook my head, "How would we know." ”
"The old lady doesn't think it will be a few days." Speaking of this, he frowned, "No, when the boss came back last time, he said that when the old lady left, he might not be there, and he sent you over to guard the funeral." ”
"Send us over for the funeral?" I asked rhetorically.
Feng Ma looked at a few of us, "No, the boss said that there are four people, why are you five people?" ”
, whether the boss is a fairy or what, even a few people know.
Said seriously, "Mama Feng, when did the boss come back last time?" ”
"On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I left on the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year."
Seriousness and I looked at each other, is that the boss not missing? So where will he go? And let me hold a mourning here. Damn, how did all this completely subvert my imagination.
We stayed in the old family, Wei Xiaoxiao was curious about everything in this kind of place for the first time, and within two days, he got along with the young man and girl here, and forgot about the things in the hotel.
I was bored, I wandered around the village, and what puzzled me was that Zhang Manting had been watching me almost from the moment I opened my eyes, and Niu Fat kept making fun of him wherever I went.
On the fifth day of my visit, the only mobile phone signal connected to the outside was also lost. I really became a wild man, and the locals couldn't understand what they said, let alone wander around, and I heard that there were wild people in this area.
I took advantage of Zhang Manting's toilet to walk around the village with seriousness, and it always felt awkward for a big man to follow a woman.
Although the population of the village is very small, but the people live scattered, the village is still quite large, especially the scenery, in my earthy words, it is beautiful.
Just as I was basking in the sun under a willow tree by the river, my eyes were clouded, and I opened my eyes to see an old man standing in front of me with his back to me.
The outsiders didn't fight with the locals, so I changed places and continued to bask in the sun, but the old man me and walked up to me again to block me.
I moved the place again, and deliberately basked in the sun by the river, and I didn't believe that the old man could stand in the river and block my sun.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I was obscured by someone, and I opened my eyes to see a dry banana leaf. And it was the old man who was holding the banana leaves.
"Uncle, why are you blocking me from the sun all the time?" I asked politely.
The old man looked at me, leaked out his yellow teeth, and muttered something to me.
"Uncle, I don't understand what you're saying." I made a helpless face.
The old man said a few words, and realized that I did not understand what he was saying, and shouted at the child in the water. I saw a bare-bottomed child running ashore.
The old man said a word to the child, and the child said it to me in an ordinary way that was not fluent, "Brother, Abel has something to say to you, but he doesn't speak Mandarin, so I'll translate it for you." ”
Hearing this, I nodded, "Yes." ”
"The grandmother you live in is at the end of her life, and someone has come to pick her up, why hasn't she left?"
These words attracted serious attention from the sidelines, "Can you count life?" ”
The old man waved his hand, "I can calculate, but I am not proficient." ”
looked at the old man with a serious expression of worship, and said to himself, "It turns out that what the boss said is true, and the master is in the people." ”
The child wanted to translate serious words, but it was not complete, and the translation stammered.
I interrupted the child's translation, "You don't need to translate this sentence, you ask the old man, what is the matter with me?" ”
The child translated my words to the old man, and the old man's reply to me was. "One of the two girls who came with you has a problem."
I looked at Serious, "Is there a problem?" Who? ”
"The sister who often follows you, that sister is not popular."
These words are like a thunderbolt from the sky, Zhang Manting was introduced to me by my mother, they are all people who know their roots, how can they not be popular, Jiao, if they are not popular, isn't that a dead person? A corpse like the Boss?
"Grandma didn't leave, it should be that sister did her tricks, in our place, life is going to go to heaven after death. You've broken our rules. The child said.
It turned out to be to warn us, I nodded, "I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, I'm doing a friend a favor to take care of the old lady's funeral." ”
After hearing this, the old man turned his head and left without looking back. Keeping me and the serious stupid eyes staring at each other.
"Ma Dong, why don't you call me when you come out." Zhang Manting's voice appeared behind me.
I pretended I didn't know anything, and turned around with my teeth bared, "I saw you going to the bathroom, so I didn't call you." Besides, I'm a big man, and you've been following me all the time, making others mistakenly think you're me. You look at the local little girl who sends flowers to Serious every day, but I didn't receive any of them. ”
Zhang Manting pouted, "Yo, you still want to collect a few flowers, don't you have one?" ”
I scratched the back of my head and looked at the scenery in the distance as if I hadn't heard it.
I didn't go back to eat until noon, Niu Fat came back with a bunch of roots and roots, and boiled a pair of Chinese medicine by himself, which put messy things, those who had never seen it, even ants. I almost threw the Xiang I pulled into it. Niu Fat knows that he has a defect in his body, and it is good to try to treat himself, but it is too hard to do so, who knows if these herbs are poisonous or not, let alone boiled in a pot. Of course, that's what I thought, I can't say that. Niu Pang didn't know that I already knew about it.
I took the initiative to Niu Fat's side, and Niu Pang was holding a fan to cook local herbs. "Niu Fat, don't eat you bad anymore with so many things, you're already thin enough, if something happens, you can't stand it." Then again, Niu Fat's weight has reached two hundred, which corresponds to the sentence, people are fat and cold water grow meat.
"I know, Lao Tzu is in good health, find something to strengthen the yang." Niu Fat said nonchalantly.
I patted Niu Fat on the shoulder and watched him sweat profusely and fan the fire.
At this moment, someone on the second floor shouted, and the men, women, and children of the village began to gather in our side.
"Ma Dong, what's going on?" Niu Fat looked at me with a confused face, completely unaware of what was going on.
The point is that I haven't encountered this either, who knows how.
"Ma Dong, what are you stunned about, the old lady has passed, you hurry up." Seriously interrupted my speculation with Niu Fat.
Niu Pang didn't care about his Chinese medicine, so he went up to the second floor with me.
As soon as I ran to the second floor, Feng's mother and a few grandmothers dragged me into a room, dressed me in filial piety clothes, and told me that everything must be arranged by them.
I haven't seen Mrs. God from beginning to end, when the old lady was alive, only Mama Feng went in and out of the house. Now that I'm dead, I've got a lot of people in it, even serious and fat cows, but I can't go in.
I don't know if there are filial sons in the local area who can't meet the dead elders, or if they are fooling, the old lady until she enters the coffin, I have my back to it.
The eldest grandmother is eighty-seven this year, according to local customs, it is a happy funeral, and I heard that the boss has scheduled a song and dance before. In just half an hour, the simple mourning hall was built. The two groups of singing and dancing face to face, like a competition. There were also many tables set up by Feng's mother and a few women, and through the introduction, I knew that it was a long table banquet. And gave a red envelope to every child who came to the funeral. As for the amount, it's just the meaning, it's all a dime receipt.
As a filial son, I didn't do anything but stand by the mourning hall and bow deeply to everyone who attended the funeral to express my gratitude to them.
I didn't have the heart of a filial son at all, and I couldn't be sad, and although I knew that I respected the eldest grandmother, I really couldn't make it sad, and I began to look at every guest who came to the funeral.
Coincidentally, I saw a man standing on the ridge not far away, dressed in black, commenting on everything on our side. His position is not far or close, but as long as people who know him can recognize him at a glance, He Yi has a feeling that makes people tremble at first sight. His appearance also shows that Niu Pang is right, He Yi has something to do with this matter.
I left everyone and ran towards the figure, but in the blink of an eye, He Yi was gone. I was sure that I saw it, that person was He Yi, and at this time, I also believed what Niu Pang said, He Yi pleaded with him.
When I got back to the mourning hall again, there were a few cars parked in front of the boss's house, and we all came in by walking, and God knows how they drove them in.
The person who got out of the car also surprised me a lot, and the person who came turned out to be Ouyang Ze, the opponent of the boss. I suddenly couldn't figure out what was going on.
Ouyang Ze greeted the local villagers a few times, and the local villagers seemed to be very familiar with him, and even hugged him.
Ouyang Ze chatted with a few villagers, saw me, smiled, and walked up to the second floor. When I saw Ouyang Ze again, Ouyang Ze was wearing the same filial piety clothes as me, and he was more dedicated to receiving every villager than me.
After being free, I took the initiative to walk to Ouyang Ze's side, "Ouyang Ze, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" You drove the boss away and came back to be a good person. ”
Ouyang Ze looked at me with an innocent expression, "Be a good person?" What kind of good person should I be? ”
"Attend the funeral, this is the funeral of the eldest grandmother, no matter what happens, the deceased is the greatest." I argued.
Ouyang Ze snorted coldly, "Grandma of the boss? This is a lot of people's grandmothers, the deceased was the director of the orphanage in 93 years, and your eldest and I both grew up in the orphanage. Not only me, but many people will come to mourn the old lady in a while, and we will all call him grandma. The boss just found a secluded place for the old lady to live in her old age. ”
At this time, I came seriously and asked me to help, and I happened to meet Ouyang Ze, and the scene between the two was embarrassing.
"Seriously, didn't you take a leave of absence to travel?" Ouyang Ze asked, his expression not surprised.
