"Xiaoying? I haven't seen you in a few years, but I've grown so big! ”

Seeing Zhou Ying, who was wearing a filial piety dress and her eyes were a little red and swollen, Xu Fuhai couldn't help asking.

"I'm a college graduate!" Seeing Xu Fuhai looking at herself, Zhou Ying smiled slightly, a face like a full moon exuded a youthful and healthy luster, and a pair of big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, with a hint of disgust.

Seeing this slim girl, Xu Fuhai was in a trance, and many scenes from her childhood came to mind.

Retracting some scattered thoughts, Xu Fuhai said with emotion: "Time flies so fast! ”

He took out a pillar of incense from the incense box and lit it, bowed respectfully three times to the portrait of the old lady, and said in a deep voice: "Grandma, you go all the way!" ”

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ying couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice.

Xu Fuhai inserted the incense into the incense burner, stood beside her again, patted her on the back gently and comforted: "Don't be too sad, grandma left at such an old age, she is a blessed person." ”

Zhou Ying nodded, wiped away her tears, and said to him again: "Brother-in-law, you go to the West House to rest for a while, it is quiet there, the East House is all smoking, especially choking."

Xu Fuhai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go into the house and burn some paper for grandma." ”

Zhou Na, who was standing behind the two people, couldn't help but show a touch of unhappiness in her eyes when she saw Xu Fuhai and Zhou Ying chatting. For this cousin of her third uncle's family, Zhou Na has not been pleasing to the eye since she was a child. The conditions of the third uncle's family are the worst among the three of them, but this cousin has been beautiful and cute since she was a child, and even if she wears rustic and old clothes, she can't hide her handsomeness. Now that I've grown up, I'm even more bright and moving, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, which look like they're hooking. Seeing that she and Xu Fuhai had been chatting and laughing for so long, Zhou Na's heart suddenly became unkind!

"Zhou Ying, give me some incense too." Zhou Na walked over in a few steps and said with a hint of command.

"Well, sister, here you go." Hearing her words, Zhou Ying hurriedly lit a piece of incense and handed it over.

Zhou Na took the incense, quickly bowed to the portrait of her grandmother, and then inserted it into the incense burner in front of her.

All the while, she didn't glance at the portrait.

Behind her, Zhou Linsheng and his family also gave incense to the old lady, and then chatted with their relatives in the courtyard.

Xu Fuhai entered the hall and saw several women kneeling in front of the old lady's spirit crying miserably, and he also knelt down and burned the paper.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ying also walked over, knelt beside him, and threw the yellow paper into a ball and threw it into the brazier.

The two of them just burned the paper and chatted in a low voice.

"Grandma has been sick for more than two years, and I have also seen it in the big hospital in the imperial capital, and the doctor said that there is no good solution, that is, Alzheimer's disease is accompanied by the natural aging of many organs in the body. In the second half of this year, my grandmother's illness deteriorated very quickly, and at first she was able to walk on her own, but slowly she couldn't get out of bed, and she lay down for more than two months, and then left, without any crime. Zhou Ying said in a low voice.

Xu Fuhai nodded, and asked again: "During this time, you are taking care of it?" ”

Zhou Ying nodded, threw a ball of paper into the brazier and said: "In the early stage, my parents mainly took care of it, and the second uncle would occasionally come over to take a look, and he also took two rounds of money, and the last month or so was just in time for me to resign and prepare for graduate school. ”

"Oh, you're in graduate school? Are the results out? Hearing her words, Xu Fuhai asked with concern.

"Not yet, it won't come out until a year. I guess I'm choking enough to get in, and if I can't pass the exam, I'll go to the public exam. Zhou Ying said in a low voice.

Xu Fuhai nodded, and just as he wanted to say something more, he heard Zhou Linsheng outside the house commanding loudly: "Come a few people, take the pile of chopping wood over there, and get some sand......"

"This boss can just play the score, he doesn't do anything himself, and he commands others in one set." The old uncle of the family who presided over the white affairs in the house said twice, although the voice was not loud, but Xu Fuhai heard it clearly.

He knew that according to the custom, there would be a ceremony outside for a while, and the yard needed to be tidied up, so he turned to Zhou Ying and said, "I'll go out to help." ”

Zhou Ying hurriedly got up and said, "No, brother-in-law, you go to that house to rest." ”

Xu Fuhai waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

"Then I'll go with you." Zhou Ying said and chased after him.

When Xu Fuhai went out, he saw a few men shoveling sand with shovels, and some people were moving bricks.

Seeing this scene, several people who were working had some surprise on their faces, probably not expecting that a big boss with such an identity would also work with them.

Zhou Linsheng also saw it, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed him and said, "Fuhai, you don't have to do this, you just let them do it." Come and smoke a cigarette with me. ”

Xu Fuhai didn't raise his head, continued to shovel the sand and said, "No, I'm here to help." ”

While speaking, he never looked up at Zhou Linsheng.

Zhou Linsheng touched a soft nail in his place, and felt a little bored, so he had to retreat in a sneer, and walked a little farther away to continue smoking, chatting with others, and no longer commanding here.

It's okay for him to command these villagers, what is Xu Fuhai's identity? He didn't dare to command!

Seeing Zhou Na chatting with a few cousins, Zhou Linsheng went over and pulled her.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhou Na was pulled aside by him and asked a little puzzled.

"What do you say? Look over there, it's a bit of an eyesight! Hurry up and help! Zhou Linsheng pointed to Xu Fuhai and Zhou Ying, who were shoveling sand not far away, and said in a low voice.

"I'm not going, I can't do that job, I have to blister twice with two shovels, and it hurts to death." Zhou Na pouted and said.

"Are you delicate? Isn't Fuhai higher than you? Everybody's doing it, and you're just here watching? ”

"Cortana, do you see that? Zhou Ying hit Xu Fuhai as soon as he came in, and he stuck to him, I think this girl is a little wrong. At this time, Feng Yufeng also stepped forward and whispered.

After her reminder, Zhou Na also saw it. The two of them stood working together, shoveling sand while they seemed to be chatting, although they were just two backs, they looked unexpectedly harmonious!

As soon as she thought of this, Zhou Na's heart suddenly became angry, and she also found a shovel and walked over.

Coincidentally, when she passed, Xu Fuhai and Zhou Ying had just finished shoveling the last small pile of sand and the work was done.

When Zhou Na saw this scene, she was immediately a little embarrassed, holding a shovel in her hand, she couldn't do it, she couldn't throw it.

But Zhou Ying saw her and said casually: "Sister, don't do it, we're all done." ”

Zhou Ying's tone of voice sounded normal, but Zhou Na always felt a smell of mockery of her, so she threw the shovel aside angrily and walked away.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why do you seem to be angry? I didn't mess with her just now, did I? Zhou Ying saw Zhou Na throwing a shovel and asked with some puzzlement.

"I don't know, don't worry about her, let's go out for a walk." Xu Fuhai put the shovel in his hand at the base of the wall, and then took the shovel in Zhou Ying's hand.

When handing the shovel, Zhou Ying's hand inadvertently touched Xu Fuhai's hand, and she only felt a warm and strong feeling coming, which suddenly made her feel a little heartbeat.

Listening to his proposal, Zhou Ying nodded hurriedly, took off her filial piety clothes with him, and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhou Ying's home is at the southernmost end of the village, and when you leave the courtyard gate, turn left, and there is a path into the mountain.

When Xu Fuhai used to come here, he often went to the mountains to play, and he was very familiar with this road.

The two of them chatted casually as they walked.

"Xiaoying, I still remember when you were young, every time you finished the banquet during the New Year, you liked to take us to this mountain to play." Xu Fuhai climbed a small platform halfway up the mountain, looked at the village at the foot of the mountain with his hands crossed, and said as he watched.

Zhou Ying also climbed onto the platform, stood beside him and said: "Yes, I also like it here very much now, every time I am in a bad mood, I will climb here, look at this small village for a while, and my heart will slowly calm down." ”

"When the little girl grows up, she will be in a bad mood. I remember when you had no heart and lungs, running around all day long. Xu Fuhai said with a smile, a flash of memory in his eyes.

"Yes, at that time, I didn't know anything, and I knew that I was blind and happy every day. I remember one time I broke my foot, and you carried me off. Zhou Ying turned her head to look at him, revealing a mischievous expression.

"You still say, you were twelve that year, and you were still wearing a thick cotton jacket in the winter, which was so heavy that it almost tired me down!" Thinking of the situation at that time, Xu Fuhai couldn't help but smile.

"Alas, it was so good at that time, you don't have to think about anything, you can play when you're full, and you can sleep when you're tired from playing, which is like now, you have to learn so many things, and you have to work hard to make money, it's too rolly, so tired, I really want to lie down!" Zhou Ying said with a slumped face.

"How old are you to think about lying flat? Girl, good days are all about struggle! Xu Fuhai waved his fist at her, cheering and encouraging.

"Yes, yes, I just said casually, this girl is still working very hard, at least she can't relax now, no matter what, she has to lie down after she successfully goes ashore!" Zhou Ying said with some yearning.

"You really have a heavy obsession with lying flat." Xu Fuhai said half-jokingly.

"Of course, that's my ultimate goal. Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. You've been divorced from my sister for so long, why are you still here today for your grandmother's funeral? Zhou Ying asked.

"She's her, grandma is grandma, I don't know, forget it, if I know, I'll definitely have to come, the old lady's life is not easy!" Xu Fuhai said with some emotion.

Zhou Ying nodded, and then asked, "How did you know the news?" Who notified you? When my dad asked me to report the funeral to my family, he didn't say he would notify you. ”

"Zhou Na told me." Xu Fuhai said casually.

"Oh, ~~~ I see." Zhou Ying pulled a long tone, nodded and said.

"You little girl, don't be so old-fashioned, okay? You still understand, what do you understand? Xu Fuhai looked at Zhou Ying's pretentious and deep look, and couldn't help but say with some amusement.

"Who is the little girl, I'm twenty-two years old this year!" Listening to Xu Fuhai's ridicule, Zhou Ying straightened her round chest unconvinced and said.

Xu Fuhai couldn't help but glance at it, and then quickly looked away.

Zhou Ying keenly caught his gaze, and immediately quipped: "Isn't it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful." Xu Fuhai said very honestly.

"Where's the sight?" Zhou Ying continued to tease him.

"It's beautiful anywhere." Xu Fuhai continued to answer seriously.

"Liar, why don't you look good? There are too many good-looking women around, so let's look dazzled. Zhou Ying quipped.

"It's nothing, I said, are you a girl who owes a beating? Even your brother-in-law is funny, no big or small. Xu Fuhai said angrily.

"Cut, less scare! Who are you brother-in-law, you and my sister have been divorced for almost two years, you are not my brother-in-law, at most you are an ex-brother-in-law! Zhou Ying scoffed at Xu Fuhai's words.

Xu Fuhai was about to say something more, but his mobile phone suddenly rang.

At the same time, Zhou Ying's mobile phone also rang.

Xu Fuhai took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Zhou Linsheng calling.

Connected the phone, Zhou Linsheng's voice came from the other end.

"Fuhai, where are you? It's time to eat, I've got a seat for you, so come back to eat quickly. Zhou Linsheng said.

Xu Fuhai hung up the phone after a few calls, and listened to Zhou Ying also non-stop.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ying took his arm and said naturally: "Let's go, ex-brother-in-law, my dad told us to go down to dinner." ”

"You go slowly, don't twist your feet anymore. You're so heavy now, I can't carry you! Xu Fuhai looked at her hurried appearance and couldn't help but quip.

"I'm not heavy, I'm in my early 100s." Zhou Ying said as she pulled Xu Fuhai towards the bottom of the mountain.

"There are no more than 100 good women, you have to lose weight." Xu Fuhai teased.

"I'm not going to lose it, it's all said on the Internet, my name is slightly fat, the type you guys like the most, don't you believe you touch it?" Zhou Ying turned around and raised her eyebrows at him and said.

"I still drive in front of my brother-in-law, and I owe a beat!"

"Ex-brother-in-law!"

……

The two of them chatted all the way to the mountain, and when they entered the courtyard, Zhou Linsheng and a few people immediately surrounded him and warmly beckoned him to sit at the main table in the east room.

Xu Fuhai waved his hand and said, "I don't drink, you can eat at that table, I'll just take a bite in the West House." ”

Zhou Linsheng didn't do it, and insisted on pulling Xu Fuhai to the table, until he saw that Xu Fuhai was a little angry, and then he gave up.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you go to that table to eat, our table is full of women and children, don't eat badly." Zhou Ying asked while serving Xu Fuhai rice.

"Ex-brother-in-law!" Xu Fuhai took Zhou Yingsheng's meal and corrected him seriously.
