In Xingyu Village, a group of women stood far away at the entrance of a courtyard, looking at the mourning hall with white cloth hanging inside, and the thin male baby knelt on the ground, burning paper from time to time.

"It's really hard, my father, mother, and brother are all gone, and now there is a sister-in-law who can't live at home, I'm afraid this child won't live long."

"I think too, Lin Qiao's girl is too inhuman, her mother-in-law has been dead for two days, and she hasn't seen anyone."

"Why don't you see anyone! Yesterday I saw her talking to Zhang Donghou on the slope. ”

"It's really not a thing, Tingfan's mother treats her well, so I haven't seen her wash her clothes."

"That's not it, if you want me to say that eighty percent is Lin Qiao's dead girl, you see, Ting Fan will also ......"

"You mothers-in-law are panicked, have nothing to do? Let's talk about it, if you have time to talk about other people's gossip, it's better to go home and see if the porridge is cooked. ”

At this time, Lin Qiao's mother Li Guifen ran over in a hurry and yelled at these people at the door viciously.

When the women were gone, she snorted.

Then followed Lin Qiao and her father Lin Han into the courtyard in a hurry.

Seeing the white lips of the male baby, Li Guifen was shocked and worried: "Tingfan, didn't you eat?" ”

After speaking, I hurriedly entered the kitchen, cold pot and cold stove, obviously I haven't turned on the stove for a long time.

Thinking of something, she sighed, then hurriedly ran out, and quickly brought a bowl of rice, "Tingfan, take a break and burn it again, eat first." ”

Seeing that he didn't answer, she said anxiously: "Eat some, how can you send your mother to be buried if you don't eat some, if your mother knows that you don't eat, she will definitely not feel at ease." ”

In the last sentence, the boy Song Tingfan raised his eyelids and said hoarsely: "Thank you, auntie." ”

He took it and lowered his head and shaved it, but it didn't take long for him to choke up.

Li Guifen's eyes were red, and she squatted down and hugged his shoulder, "Tingfan, don't worry, the aunts will take care of you." ”

Song Tingfan choked up a few times, and then held it back, Lin Han, the big man, saw that he was crying, and touched two handfuls of tears sideways.

After a while, Song Tingfan finished eating, knelt down and continued to burn paper, Li Guifen gave Lin Han a look, signaling that he was here.

Then she walked out of the yard and walked around the village before she found Lin Qiao, and saw that she was at the door of Zhang's house.

She was angry, so she walked over and pulled her away.

Lin Qiao struggled, "You let go of me!" ”

Li Guifen didn't speak, and only let go of her when she walked away, and then gave her a slap, hating iron and steel: "What are you doing!" Your mother-in-law has died, what are you doing at Zhang's door! ”

"Will the Zhang family pity you? The Zhang family will only look at your jokes! Will Zhang Dong pity you? If someone else is in a day, they won't pity you, even if they pity you, they just pity you, and they can't help you! Li Guifen looked at her without a trace of repentance, a little chilled, and said, "You go back with me and bury your mother-in-law with Tingfan." ”

"Even if you want to break away from the Song family, you can't be now, you are obedient, take care of Ting Fan for a while, and after a while, I will tell your father about Ting Fan."

"I don't want it! Why should I take care of him, and listen to you! I don't want you to leave me alone! ”

Lin Qiao paused for a moment, and then said: "It's all your fault, you said that you would redeem me if you have money, and you obviously have it!" ”

Li Guifen staggered, she lowered her head, "Your father and I did borrow money, but girl, you can't leave now, Ting Fan is dead, if you leave, he will do stupid things." ”

"You take care of him first, and after a while, your father and I will definitely redeem you to go home, and then my father and I will find you a good family."

"I don't want to, I only marry Zhang Dong, I won't marry anyone except him!" After Lin Qiao finished speaking, she left, Li Guifen grabbed her and walked vigorously to Song's house.

"I'm not going!" Lin Qiao couldn't struggle, so she had to stumble and follow her.

After entering the house, Li Guifen closed the door and sent her, Song Tingfan looked at her, and quickly got up tremblingly, "Sister-in-law, I'll cook for you." ”

"Who is rare!" Lin Qiao glared at him, quickly entered the house, and closed the door with a "snap".

"Lin Qiao!" Lin Han's face was a little ugly.

Song Tingfan glanced at the closed door, lowered his head and tightly pinched the corners of his clothes, and then limped to the kitchen.

Li Guifen hurriedly chased after her, and when she saw him bending over to wash rice, her eyes were sour, and she felt even more guilty, "Tingfan, you don't care about her, she knows how to eat when she is hungry." ”

"What's wrong with your leg, I'll ask your uncle to take you to see it."

"Auntie, I'm fine." Song Tingfan shook his head, probably after kneeling for a long time, his eyes were a little flowery, and he staggered.

If Li Guifen hadn't caught it quickly, he would have fallen, and she hurriedly yelled out, "Dahan, come on, Tingfan is dizzy." ”

"Here we are."

Lin Han hurriedly ran in, and when he saw that his face was pale, he hurriedly picked him up and ran outside.

But when he was about to leave the yard, Song Tingfan struggled not to go, "I'm not going, I'm going to burn paper for my mother." ”

He is the only one in the family, if he is not there, there will be no one to watch the mourning hall, and my mother will be afraid.

He struggled so hard that Lin Han had no choice but to put him down, but his face did not have a trace of blood, and he was really not at ease, "I'll call Lang Zhong." ”

Then he went to Lang Zhong, but Lang Zhong didn't come, saying that it was unlucky to be dead, and it was easy to provoke ghosts, he was so angry that he scolded a few words, and finally turned his head back.

Li Guifen didn't see Lang Zhong, "Aren't you at home?" ”

"At home."

Lin Han was afraid that Song Tingfan would hear it, so he lowered his voice and said, "If you don't come, you're afraid of provoking ghosts!" ”

"Let go of the fucking bullshit, don't do bad things, where did the ghost come from, and besides, Tingfan and her mother were kind when she was alive, where would it hurt people!" Li Guifen was a little angry.

Song Tingfan in the hall turned his head to take a look, quickly turned his head, buried his head lower, and tears fell after a while.

Mother......

Mother's words echoed in my head.

Niu Niu, live a good life with your sister-in-law, it is our family that has lost your sister-in-law, you have to be sensible and take care of her more.

Niu Niu, my mother is sorry for you, you must live well, and your mother will be good to you in the next life.

Niu Niu ......

He endured it for a while, but he still couldn't hold it back, and sobbed quietly.

Mother, I miss you.

Lin Han and Li Guifen looked at him, and they really didn't feel good in their hearts.

After that, the two accompanied him to the mourning hall.

On the day of the burial on the seventh day, the Song family's eldest family, Song An's family, and the old couple of the Song family came.

It was the person invited by the Lin family to carry the coffin for burial, and Song Tingfan fainted straight at the moment the coffin fell into the pit.

When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, and when he saw his grandfather guarding him by the bedside, he shouted in his own eyes, "Grandpa." ”

Song Rong breathed a sigh of relief, touched his head, and said hoarsely, "Grandpa is here." ”

Hearing that something was wrong with his voice, Song Tingfan grabbed his hand urgently, "Grandpa, are you sick?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a dry throat." Song Rong didn't say anything about the cold, this kid would be worried.

Song Tingfan got out of bed, ran out in a hurry, and quickly came in with a bowl of water, "Grandpa, you drink." ”

Song Rong's eyes suddenly turned red, but he couldn't hold back his tears, "Niu Niu is really good." ”

At this time, Song Qin's voice came from outside, "You can't take this away, this is something that Niu Niu's father left for Niu Niu." ”

"Why can't I take it, I can't starve to death if I don't have anything to eat?" The woman's angry voice.

Song Tingfan walked out, and the woman in the courtyard took her father to buy him a rattle, which was made of silver.

At first, my father sold it for half a tael of silver.

He picked his hand and said in a low voice: "Grandma, let my sister-in-law take it, I don't like to play anymore." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qiao took it and left.

Song Qin chased to the door and couldn't see anyone anymore, she choked up and said, "Do evil!" ”

"Niuniu, you can't let your sister-in-law take these things and leave, there is no money at home, you have to keep it for yourself."

"Grandma, it's okay, I can go up to the mountains to hunt, Daddy taught me."

Song Tingfan walked over, helped her wipe her tears, and said, "I will definitely be able to raise grandpa and grandma." ”

They can't help their grandson with anything, how can they let him raise him, Song Qin shook his head, and said lovingly: "Grandma and your grandfather eat well at your uncle's place, just take care of yourself." ”

Song Tingfan bit his lower lip, knowing that he couldn't afford to raise his grandfather and grandmother now, he nodded obediently, "Okay." ”

He wanted to cook rice to eat, but found that the rice jar was out of rice, and there was still half a jar two days ago.

Sister-in-law took the ......

He went back to the house and counted ten copper coins and went out to buy rice, "Grandpa, grandma, stay at home for a while." With that, he ran out.

On the way, he saw many children playing, and before he could speak, they ran away shouting, "Hurry up, the unlucky ones are coming." ”

"Whoever suffers is unlucky!"

"Unlucky, dead father, dead mother!"

Song Tingfan stood in place, holding the ten cents tightly, he was not unlucky, he was not unlucky, he was not the one who killed his father.

Not him.

He wanted to roar, but he couldn't.

Did he kill his brother and father......

After a long time, he continued to walk, and arrived at Fan's house in half an hour, "Grandma Fan, buy two catties of rice." ”

"Okay."

Mrs. Fan glanced at him, gave him an extra pound of rice, and said, "Shiwen." ”

"Grandma, it's a lot." Song Tingfan naturally saw it and pinched the corners of his clothes.

"No more, no more, take it, live a good life, if you have any difficulties, tell the village chief, and the village chief will find a way for you." Mrs. Fan felt a little sorry for him and gave him Miser.

Song Tingfan pursed his lips and put the ten copper coins on the table, "Grandma Fan, I will give you the remaining five wen." ”

Regarding what happened to the Song family, Mrs. Fan sighed, what a kind family, three died in a year.

Leave a boy and create evil.

God doesn't open his eyes.

"No, no, go home quickly, your kid is all thin."

"Thank you, Grandma Fan."

Song Tingfan ran home with a rice bag, and met his sister-in-law halfway, he stopped, a little worried, "Sister-in-law." ”

Lin Qiao glanced at his rice, "Do you still have money?" Give me! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Song Tingfan shook his head and confessed 1510, "Sister-in-law, I don't have it on me, and I still have dozens of texts at home, I'll give it to you later." ”

My mother said that I should treat my sister-in-law better.

"That's pretty much it." Lin Qiao snorted angrily, and then walked past him.

Song Tingfan hurriedly turned his head, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?" ”

"Where am I going to do your!" Lin Qiaoxing's eyes glared at him, a little impatient and disgusted.

Song Tingfan shrunk his neck, and he explained stupidly: "Sister-in-law...... Son, I just want to ...... I want to call you when the rice is ready. ”

Lin Qiao glanced at him, and then left without saying anything.

Song Tingfan pursed his lips while holding Mi, a little disappointed, but still asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, go home early, I'll keep the food for you." ”

The woman did not reply to him.

……

The meal was ready, but Song Qin and Song Rong didn't eat, Song Rong waved his hand, "Niu Niu, eat by yourself, I'm not hungry with your grandma." ”

"Just now your grandma grabbed peanuts for me, I was full, and my stomach was a little swollen."

Where are the two of them not hungry, in fact, they have been hungry for a long time, and they just want to save some food for their grandson.

When they get to the third child's house, they can eat again.

Song Ting was small, but not stupid, and guessed Grandpa's thoughts, so he stubbornly scooped two bowls of rice and put them in front of them.

When it was his turn, the bowl of rice was much less, and he scooped up the rice soup and soaked it, and it was full.

"If Grandpa and Grandma don't eat it, I won't eat it either."

"Niu Niu is good, eat more by yourself, eat more to grow your body." Song Qin pushed the rice to him and motioned for him to eat it quickly.

Seeing that he didn't move, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'll eat a bowl with your grandfather, it's not comfortable to eat too much." ”

"Don't, grandma, you eat separately from grandpa."

Song Tingfan pushed the rice to her again, and then reached up and stuffed the chopsticks into their hands and said, "There are only pickles, and I will fry them at night." There was some guilt in his speech.

"It's already good." Song Rong sighed in his heart, then glanced at the old woman and motioned for her to eat.

If you don't eat your grandson, it will be even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that they were eating, Song Tingfan finally had a smile on his face, he sandwiched pickles for them, and then drank the soup and rice by himself.

He has to be full, and when he is full, he can go up the mountain to hunt, and only when he hunts can he give meat to his sister-in-law, grandfather, and grandmother.

After eating this meal, the eyes of the old couple were so red that they couldn't be red anymore, but they kept holding on.

After washing the dishes, Song Qin pulled Song Tingfan, and then stuffed the money bag to him, "Tingfan, use this money first, and after a while, we will come to see you again." ”

She paused for a moment, and whispered again: "Hide yourself, don't give it to your sister-in-law, grandma knows that Niu Niu has a good heart, but your sister-in-law is not a good one, she is not at ease, and she will leave sooner or later." ”

Hearing the words sooner or later, Song Tingfan's eyebrows drooped, he knew, he knew that his sister-in-law didn't want to marry his brother and didn't want to stay in their house.

He nodded, "Okay." ”

quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Grandma, can you not leave?" ”

He was left alone at home.

He was afraid......

Song Qin's family also had difficulties, they didn't leave, the third family was happy, but the grandson was more burdened, she raised her hand and touched his face, reluctantly, "Your cousin and cousin still want us to take it, grandma will come back in a while, you ...... You have to pay attention to your body alone, what comes to town to tell us. ”

Hearing this, Song Tingfan nodded sensibly, "Then Grandma wants to come and see me." ”

"When the time comes, I'll fry the meat for you to eat, okay?" Speaking of which, there was a slight trepidation in the back.

My father and brother are dead, and he is just a child, so he will naturally be afraid.

Fear of not having a family anymore.
