His father said in a hurry: "As soon as something happened, your grandfather said that he would come back, and he had to come back." Hurry up and prepare. Buy more chairs and stools, as far as your grandfather's identity is concerned, no matter whether you can get up or not, there must be a lot of people who come to visit. There are also healthy and clean relatives in the village who can be trusted to help cook, such a large number of people. ”

"How do I know who's healthy and clean?"

"Didn't you all come back for a few days? What are you busy with? Busy soaking in the village girl? ”

Jiang Lichen had been standing beside the car outside the house, watching these people busy. I stood beside him and didn't know what to do. It's like this house has always belonged to the two of us. Now there are so many people crowded in at once, everyone thinks that they are the masters here. Jiang Lichen and I have nowhere to go. If that's the case, we'll go back to the city, or at least have a nest. But now, how can you leave?

"I'll go find someone, I know a few aunts I can trust." I said. Even though I was not familiar with the people in the village, I knew which children could go to school with breakfast, clean clothes, and combed hair. The mothers of these children must also love cleanliness and are willing to do things.

In a mountain village, how a family is is can be found by looking at their children.

Jiang Yidong's father looked at me, he shouldn't have seen me before, Jiang Yidong immediately said, "Teacher Yin, I'm ...... Me, little grandma. ”

Jiang Yidong's father nodded to me. Say hello, then turn around and leave.

I pointed to his back: "What do you mean by your dad?" ”

"Let's go find someone to cook."

Jiang Lichen said: "Go find the three mothers-in-law, I go to the township every day to buy vegetables, Jiang Yidong, go and count, how many people have come." ”

Jiang Yidong walked in and said, "I'll go see my grandfather." ”

I poked Jiang Lichen with my elbow: "You're not going to see your brother?" ”

"Isn't it normal to live at such an old age? Besides, I don't need to see him in my life. At such an age, if I am still alive and full of children and grandchildren, it should be after the funeral, their family will send someone to inform me, and then the relatives of the side will visit me and comfort me. Even if I want to go to the mourning hall, it will be the people of their family who will help me and send me out. ”

"But you don't look very old."

"So, I buy groceries. Let's go find the mother-in-law, I'll buy noodles, tonight, they can only eat noodles. ”

At eleven o'clock, when we entered the hall again, a group of people were already in the hall, sitting and standing, discussing things. The consignment of longevity, the contact of the lion dance team, and a lot of gentlemen who look at the land.

I entered the hall with the noodles in a large basin, and brought a small bowl, and after a few trips, someone asked, "Which daughter-in-law?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, Jiang Lichen walked in, put down the sleeves of his shirt that were rolled up because of cooking noodles, and said, "Everyone will eat noodles, and tomorrow we will start three meal packs." ”

Someone asked, "Where is this man?" ”

The fifth elder of the Jiang family gave him a blank look: "Who knows which one?" Whether it's our family or not, no one can say. Maybe it's the illegitimate son of the old man, who didn't dare to bring it to us and keep it in the village. ”

Jiang Lichen didn't say a word, and walked to his grandfather who was placed in the innermost part of the hall, near the ground by the wall. There was a mat on the ground, and there were two thick layers of quilts on it, and the equipment on my grandfather's body had been removed, and it was also covered with quilts. I followed and asked in a low voice, "How do you let the old man sleep on the ground?" ”

Jiang Lichen didn't answer me, just squatted beside his grandfather and looked at him. Grandpa slowly opened his eyes, and his appearance was very different from the old man he had seen before, he looked haggard and his eyes were dull. He said with difficulty, "You're coming to pick me up?" It's time for me to go, too. ”

Jiang Yidong's mother also approached: "Dad, you're waiting." My brother has been contacted and will be back soon. ”

"Your brother, I saw it. He arrived at the entrance of the village. Tell him to be a soldier and don't embarrass me. Fang, what our family owes to Li Chen, pay it back, pay it back, pay it back. ”

Jiang Lichen held his hand: "I don't need them to give anything else." Uncle is at the back door, he's coming to pick you up. I can't leave yet. There are some things that you have to find the answer to. He took him by the hand and wrote a few words in his palm: "If anyone is difficult for you, show him this." There's a little bit of face for me. ”

After Jiang Lichen finished writing, he helped his grandfather hold his fist, and grandpa nodded and closed his eyes. It didn't look like he was dead at all, it felt like he was just asleep.

Jiang Lichen stood up, and the sound of a car came from outside the door. Then the middle-aged man in the military uniform rushed in and ran straight over and pushed us away.

Jiang Lichen pulled me out of the hall, and after a while, the hall burst into tears. But I watched from the courtyard, and there were more than a dozen people in there, some of them were really sad, and some of them pretended to cry.

Then everyone started calling, and friends and relatives sent obituaries. It sounds like even a newspaper is going to be published.

Jiang Lichen sent me back to school to sleep. There's definitely nowhere to sleep tonight.

On the way from the old house to the school dormitory, I asked him, "Grandpa said before he left that his son had returned to the village. It didn't take long for the officer's uncle to actually come in. Can he see it? ”

"When you're dying, you can really see it. His soul had already begun to disperse, and he was not in the house at that time. ”

"And what are you writing in the palm of his hand? Why do they want to sell your face? ”

He shook his head at me: "Yin Xiangting, you are just too curious. ”

"Can you tell me, then?" I took his arm and shook it a few times.

Jiang Lichen also thought for a while before saying, "I don't know either." How the hell did I die? Who revealed the street action? Who betrayed me and did it to me? I don't know any of that. It was only in the few seconds that I died that I chose to protect the mission objective and ate the contents of the box directly. With your last breath, swallow it in your stomach. After I died, I was taken away by the demons. They said that I had the merit of saving the world, and that they couldn't control those things. It simply gave me freedom. Salvation, ha, why is it that the salvation of the world is me? So what would the world have happened if I hadn't swallowed those things? ”

"Those things, the flower seeds in my stomach?"

He stopped, pinched my chin, and asked me to look up at him: "Yin Xiangting, if you can infiltrate our organization and kill my people in the first place, you must know the importance of these things." Maybe he's still on track, or maybe his descendants are on track. There are some things that are no longer safe with me, so you can keep them for me. Don't let anyone know. ”

I could only nod my head. If I really let people know, maybe I will be ...... like Hu Shanshan in my previous life

He sighed and let go of his hand and hugged me tightly. He rarely hugs me like that outside. He wouldn't have held me like that at all except in bed. And it was getting tighter and tighter, and he said in my ear: "Yin Xiangting, help me." I can only trust you now. Xiangting. ”

It's always hard to do white things. The two of us slept on the plank bed in my little dorm room. I woke up before dawn. I can't sleep at all. I followed Jiang Lichen's car to the township to buy vegetables, and I just helped buy some small things. Jiang Yidong was also sent out to buy. By the time the day dawned, breakfast was ready and the mourning hall was set up. I don't know where they invited a team of people, and they sorted out the inside and out, and the immediate relatives were all wearing sackcloth and red cloth belts. said that grandpa was a happy mourner, and he couldn't cry from now on.

An officer we had never met came over, changed his clothes, and took on filial piety. He should be grandpa's eldest grandson.

Jiang Lichen didn't care about this, and was busy in the kitchen with a few mothers-in-law. The coffin arrived, and it was even better than the last one. When I was buried, Jiang Lichen and I were eating apples in the courtyard, and we didn't go to join the excitement of the three outer floors there.

The mourning music was invited to blow and knock there, and it was very noisy. Even the uncle who was in charge of the house stood outside the house and talked to people when he wanted to discuss things. As I listened, the man in charge of the matter asked my uncle that he would be able to stop for three days or five days, depending on the opinion of the Lord's house. It is said that when grandpa left, he was very old, and his longevity could stop for five days. And when grandpa left, there was no pain, it seemed that he slept by himself. It's no problem to stop for five days. Due to the weather, it is a north wind these days, the temperature is not high, and it is no problem to stop for five days.

Speaking of which, they all want to let the uncle be in charge, and if he stops for five days, he can earn two more days of money. Uncle said: "It's been three days, and if you close your eyes a little faster in the morning, today is counted as one day, and you will go out of the mountain after three days." It's so long, and my dad doesn't like to see us all going to work. ”

Regarding the white affairs of the Jiang family's grandfather, my feeling is that there are a lot of people. Leaders at all levels came. It is said that it is not allowed to cry, but some older people cry.

For three days, Jiang Lichen and I soaked in the kitchen, almost twenty hours a day, all cooking. He even hired four cooks from a restaurant in the township, and he set up a big pot outside the house to cook.

When I went out of the mountain, the older and older people couldn't go, so Jiang Lichen and I could take a break. Many people left that night, and those who stayed were basically the immediate relatives of the Jiang family's grandfather.

I counted, there were more than two dozen people, not counting the children who went back first. Jiang Lichen leaned against the door frame of the hall, smoking a cigarette in his mouth. I stood behind him, stuck my head out, looked at the number of people in the room, and asked, "How many children does Grandpa have, so many people?" ”

"In his room, there are four boys and one girl, but both boys are dead, and now Jiang Yidong's mother and the boss you have seen are left. The others, all side branches, were brothers of my father's generation. ”

"Then why haven't they left yet, aren't they all over? I thought those who stayed were all direct relatives. ”

"Let's watch a good show."
