Han Lijuan's question was reasonable, and the purpose was obvious - that is, to ask her "conscienceless" daughter for money and benefits.

Han Mingxiu was very angry when she saw her so shameless, so she wanted to teach her a lesson, so she stopped and looked back and said, "Auntie, we haven't been in contact for a long time, and I have long forgotten their address and phone number, but ......"

She smiled and continued: "I remember that their family lives on Huaihai Road, and Aunt Su's family is a famous family, as long as you go there and ask casually, you can find out where her family is...... Otherwise, you and my aunt and father can go and find it ourselves......"

Of course, Aunt Su's family does not live on Huaihai Road, and Huaihai Road is a famous street in Shanghai, with countless shops and houses on both sides.

Han Lijuan was quite disappointed when she heard Han Mingxiu say that she couldn't remember the address and phone number, and was about to open her mouth to blame Han Mingxiu, but then she heard that she had provided such an important clue, so she smiled again.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and discuss with your old uncle, if it doesn't work, we'll go on a trip, the daughter we raised with great difficulty can't just be lost in vain......"

said this, as if she gave her daughter Bai to Aunt Su and didn't ask Aunt Su for money.

Han Mingxiu smiled and echoed: "Yes, you should indeed look for ......"

After speaking, he laughed secretly in his heart: Go ahead, the cost and expenses of a trip to Shanghai are enough for the two of you for half a year's salary, and you can't find it when you go, so you deserve to be angry if you run for nothing......

"Hey, by the way, where is it in Shanghai? You see my memory, it's always so bad, what you just said before, I forgot it as soon as I adjusted my heart. Han Lijuan said.

Han Mingxiu said, "It's Huaihai Road, otherwise, you go find a pen and paper, and I'll write it down for you." ”

"Yes, yes, I should write it down, otherwise I should ......forget it when I go back," Han Lijuan touched around, trying to find a place where she could get paper and pencils.

By this time, all the shops on the street were closed. Because today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, there are few shops open in the first month, and even if there are businesses during the day, they will close their doors early before the day is dark, and go home to visit relatives for the New Year.

"Oh, you don't see there's a place to find pen and paper, what's the matter?" Han Lijuan said anxiously.

Han Mingxiu also looked around, and finally picked up a branch on the ground, and wrote the words "Huaihai Road" on the snowdrift next to the road.

"Auntie, I've written this address here, you can just take a pen and paper and copy it tomorrow morning, anyway, no one will move this word at night."

"Okay, good ......" Han Lijuan looked at the three big characters on the snowdrift, as if she had seen her daughter and saw a lot of banknotes, and her eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Then I'll go first, or I won't have a place to sleep when the hotel closes later." Han Mingxiu threw away the branches, patted the snow foam on his hands, and walked away.

This time, Han Lijuan didn't stop her again, but only symbolically gave way after she walked more than ten meters away.

"Hey, don't you really go to sleep at my house?" Without waiting for Han Mingxiu to answer, Han Lijuan continued: "Okay, forget it if you don't go, then I'll go first, you go back to Tunzi tomorrow, don't tell others that you have seen me, so they don't have to talk to their wives again......

This is for fear that others will hear that she will not go back to mourn when she knows that her mother is dead, and that people will despise her and scold her for being wolf-hearted.

It seems that Han Lijuan still knows how to make face, but she just has no conscience.

Han Mingxiu ignored her and left without looking back.

After a while, Han Mingxiu found the Hongqi Hotel, which was not bad, and it was still open.

Since the hostel is state-run, it happened to be the tenth day of the first day of the new year, Han Mingxiu was very happy, asked the waiter for a clean private room, and moved in.

Early the next morning, Han Mingxiu took out some food from the space, and after eating, he took the earliest bus back to Harahai.

After arriving in Halahai Town, she hired a donkey cart with a shed next to the station and drove all the way to Sun Aotun.

On the way back, while looking at the villages along the way, she secretly sighed: What a change in her hometown!

I have to say that the implementation of the policy of reform and opening up in China by the leaders is indeed a great feat.

In just a few years, the economy of the whole country, whether urban or rural, is developing rapidly, and the appearance of cities (villages) has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, the villages that passed back from the town to the village were basically adobe houses, and there were few brick houses. But now, along the way, almost all the houses she saw were brick houses, and the adobe houses could only see one place in half a day.

It can be seen that the life of the peasants is indeed much better than before, and their living standards have also been greatly improved.

Seeing that her hometown has changed so much, Han Mingxiu is both happy and apprehensive in her heart, she is not only happy for the improvement of people's living standards, but also worried about the increasing materiality of the people in the future.

In the days to come, although people's living standards are getting better day by day, the spiritual world is getting worse day by day.

With the development of the economy, many people have left the original simple essence behind, becoming increasingly materialistic, no faith, no bottom line, only recognize money and not people, as long as they can earn money, they are willing to do anything, and even, many people regard the supremacy of money as the creed of life.

For the sake of money, gutter oil, poisoned rice, and poisoned milk powder continue to appear, all kinds of food and fake and shoddy products harmful to the human body are flying all over the sky, and even vaccines for children can become a channel for those who are greedy and have no bottom line......

Although society has developed and the economy has taken off, the moral character of many people has been lost in the theory of the supremacy of money.

I remember that her parents in her previous life would often miss the simplicity and innocence of the sixties and seventies, although they were poor at that time, they ate all natural green and healthy food, and they didn't have to worry about buying low-quality fakes, let alone being slaughtered and knocked on when they went out......

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the depravity of human nature may be the price that needs to be paid for social development.

……

She thought wildly all the way, and unconsciously returned to Sun Aotun.

When she got to the gate, she paid the fare and went to knock on the door.

The door was opened by Xiaoli.

Seeing that Han Mingxiu was back, Xiaoli hugged her happily: "Auntie, it's great that you're back......"

Han Mingxiu took Xiaoli's hand, sprinkled it into the yard, and asked strangely:

"What about people, didn't your grandmother move in with you, where is the coffin now? Where have all the people gone? ”

At this time, the courtyard was deserted, and there was no one, which did not look like a funeral at all.

Xiaoli said: "Everyone is in the front yard of my grandmother's house, my uncle is not allowed to give my grandmother a funeral at our house, but not to let my grandmother go out of her own house, my father and my mother have no choice, so they have to park grandma in her own old house, everyone is there." ”

When Han Mingxiu heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

Before, the old lady had said that if the eldest sister and his family would support him, his house and the two acres of land would belong to the eldest sister and the two of them in the future.

When the old lady was old-aged, none of the aunts and uncles said anything, and they wished they could hide on the side, but now the old lady was gone, and they wanted to do it, and they rushed to share the old lady's property.

If the old lady is sent at the eldest sister's house, won't it prove that the old lady is raised by the eldest sister's family, and the property will not belong to the eldest sister and the two of them?

Therefore, this is making a fuss to let the old lady go back to her house, it seems that his uncle and second aunt have a lot of ideas!

Before she had time to tell Xiao Liduo, Han Mingxiu immediately turned around and went to her grandmother's house.

At this time, there are not many people mourning at grandma's house, I don't know if it is because the old lady's popularity is not good during her lifetime, or everyone is afraid of condolences in the first month, in the huge courtyard, there are only the uncle's family, the second aunt's family and the eldest sister's family.

In addition, there were a few trumpeters holding their fellows, smoking cigarettes under the wall, and their eyebrows fluttering on the mountain.

Han Mingxiu thought, no wonder they didn't hear the funeral music when they entered Tunzi just now, it turned out that they were lazy here.

Seeing Han Mingxiu coming back, the eldest sister staggered forward to meet her, hugged her and began to cry.

"Xiu'er, you can be regarded as coming back, grandma will be buried tomorrow, I'm afraid that you won't be able to come back, and I won't be able to send her to the old man's last ride...... Woowoo woo ......"

Seeing that the eldest sister's eyes were red from crying, her legs were probably numb on her knees, and she was stumbling when she walked, Han Mingxiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

It's the same granddaughter, and the eldest sister cries like a tearful person, but she can't squeeze out a single tear bump!

Han Mingxiu patted the eldest sister on the back and comforted: "Eldest sister, you have to mourn, don't cry on a cold day, your face should be dark for a while." ”

The eldest sister wiped her tears and said: "I don't want to cry either, but when I think of my grandmother for so many years, she has helped me take care of the children and help me take care of the house, and I haven't had time to be filial to her, and her old man is gone, so I feel like ...... Woowoo...... It's uncomfortable......"

Han Mingxiu twitched the corners of her mouth, unable to refute the eldest sister's words.

Well, the eldest sister has deep feelings for the old lady and wants to express the grief in her heart, so let her express it.

Han Mingxiu lifted the cotton curtain and entered the house, and the old lady's coffin stopped in the middle of the ground.

Seeing the old lady's coffin, Han Mingxiu took off his hat, knelt in front of the old lady's coffin, put a stick of incense on the old lady, and kowtowed three heads respectfully.

When the uncle and the second aunt saw Han Mingxiu finish the salute, they called her and discussed with her:

"Xiu'er, just as you're back, we're still thinking about discussing something with you."

"What's the matter?" Han Myung-so understood what they were trying to say, but pretended not to know anything and asked deliberately.

Uncle said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's the problem of your milk's burial, and the other is the problem of your milk's house and land. ”

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "I remember that grandma used to arrange her aftermath in front of everyone in the village, why, you forgot about it so quickly, uncle and aunt?" ”

The uncle's face flushed slightly, and he said angrily, "It's not that we forgot, or we didn't say that?" When people are old and gone, they have to have a son carry the spirit flag, which son carries the spirit flag and which son inherits the family business, and now, the old lady's words conflict with this old rule, what do you say! ”

Compared with the second uncle, the old uncle is still more faceless, and he is not as insatiable as the second uncle. Although he wanted to get the old lady's house and land, he didn't go too far.

Han Mingxiu thought for a while and said, "This is easy to do, since according to the rules, the son will carry the spirit flag to the old lady, then you will fight it, and the old lady's house and land will also be inherited by you." ”

The uncle didn't expect Han Mingxiu to be so good at talking, so he didn't need to bother to speak, so he agreed to inherit the old lady's house and land to him.

Before he could laugh, Han Mingxiu then said, "Since my grandmother's house and land are inherited by you, then my grandmother's funeral expenses and all the expenses after death will have to be paid by you. ”

In order to comfort her soul in heaven, this funeral has to be done in a grand way, and the people of the whole tunzi must be invited to mourn, and the tomb must be made of bricks, and a marble tombstone must be erected. Uncle, if you can do this, I can be the master of my eldest sister and the two of them, and give you my grandmother's house and land to inherit, but if you can't, then I'm sorry......"

"All of us can testify to my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law, the old lady said that if the house and land are left to the two of them, they can only inherit it......
