Chen Junying was a little surprised, thinking of Uncle Li, who had passed away not long ago, and thinking of the situation at Aunt Li's house, and was relieved.

"There is a grave sweeping shuttle. There are few people sweeping the tomb on the winter solstice, so there is a shift in the morning, only to the side of the big parking lot, and to which cemetery to go, you have to take a short shuttle. At noon, everyone ate together in the big parking lot and came back. Chen Junying replied as she found a notebook, "Well, it's eight o'clock, and there are still a few vacant seats." She asked Aunt Li again, "Aunt Li, do you want to go with the shuttle bus in the community?" ”

"Hmm. They all went to work, and I thought I wouldn't let them take time off. Aunt Li said.

"Yes." Chen Junying nodded.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li have never taken the grave sweeping shuttle bus organized by the neighborhood committee. They are all brought by their children on weekends, and they eat together at home on the winter solstice, and they do not go to the cemetery.

Chen Junying didn't want to mention the sad story of Uncle Li's death, so she did things according to the rules, wrote down Aunt Li's name and phone number, registered it, and waited for everyone to gather at the gate of the community on the day of the winter solstice.

Aunt Li was satisfied, sat in the neighborhood committee for a while, chatted a few words, and went home.

As soon as she got home, she sent a message in the family WeChat group to inform her children.

The two daughters only complained that she didn't consult them, so she ran to the grave alone, but didn't say anything else.

When Li Qinghui saw the news, his heart jumped, he said hello to the unit, got off work early in the afternoon, and rushed home.

When Li Qinghui arrived, Aunt Li was nesting on the sofa and playing games. The electric heater that Li Qinghui bought for her the year before last was placed at her feet, and the orange light was shining, like a small sun.

When Aunt Li heard the sound of the door opening, she looked at the door in surprise and saw Li Qinghui running in sweaty.

"What did you do in the winter? Why are you sweating so much? Are you young and going to the gym? Aunt Li asked in surprise, she glanced at the clock in the living room, "Or skip work to go to the gym?" ”

Li Qinghui's face was flushed, "I just came from the unit, the air conditioner in the car was turned on, and the down jacket didn't take off ......."

He didn't feel hot all the way, and as soon as Aunt Li said it, he realized that he was sweating.

"You go take a shower. The water heater is on all the time. Your previous shorts, cotton sweaters are also available. I don't know if you're wearing it now. Aunt Li said.

How could Li Qinghui have the heart to take a bath.

"Mom, you're going to sweep the grave?" Li Qinghui sat down next to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li turned the electric heater and shone it on Li Qinghui, "Yes." Didn't I say it in the WeChat group? On the winter solstice, I went to sweep the grave, and there was a shuttle bus in the community, so I went with my neighbors. Don't be busy. ”

"The shuttle arrived?" Li Qinghui said tentatively.

"There's a shuttle bus over there. Several cemeteries have shuttles, and when you get there, you can take a shuttle. There are also flowers to buy, and there are also cakes to sell. Aunt Li said.

She had never taken the grave sweeping shuttle bus organized by the neighborhood committee before, but she was familiar with Xiao Chen, the aunts and aunts in the community, and she listened to them talk about it every year. When they come back with a new trick, they always have to talk to others for a few days. Although Aunt Li enters in her left ear and goes out in her right ear, she can always leave some impressions after listening to it for a few years.

"I went with them, and the price was cheap. When you drive, the fuel is much more expensive. Aunt Li said again about the advantages of a grave-sweeping shuttle.

Li Qinghui couldn't cry or laugh, "Mom, do I care about this kind of thing?" ”

"Then what are you running to ask?" Aunt Li asked rhetorically.

Li Qinghui was stunned, and when he saw Aunt Li playing the game again, those birds and kittens kept screaming and popping, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

"Mom, I want to ask Dad." Li Qinghui took a deep breath and spoke.

"Your old man is lying down there. What do you ask? "Aunt Li is pretending to be stupid.

Li Qinghui's anger was suddenly discharged, the boss was not a small person, and he suddenly became wilted and pitiful.

Aunt Li cleared the customs in one game, turned her head and saw her son's appearance, and she was angry.

"I know that you kid, I only have you in my heart. Do you think about it in your head? He died, and he died anyway. Aunt Li said unceremoniously, poking her finger at Li Qinghui's head, "You are still alive, and there are still a lot of days waiting for you." You still have a wife, sons and daughters, and grandchildren to be born...... You're the only old man left in your eyes? Do you want to live your own life? ”

"I didn't think about my dad either. This is not the winter solstice......" Li Qinghui sighed, looking sad, "He's my father, I can't think about him yet?" ”

"Then you think. I didn't stop you from thinking about him. Can I still get into your head and delete the old man? Aunt Li put down her hand and looked directly at Li Qinghui.

Li Qinghui's gaze dodged slightly, but he quickly moved back and looked at Aunt Li.

Aunt Li sneered, "What's the matter?" Your wings are stiff, my old woman can't talk to anything, does it? ”

"Mom-"

"Don't scream. What's the use of you calling Mom? Aunt Li raised her hand and interrupted Li Qinghui's words, "I told the old man a long time ago. Your grandparents were still alive at that time. I told him at that time that the old man and the old lady would go sooner or later, and the son and daughter would also have to start a family sooner or later. I'm not doing much, you're good! You're really good! ”

"I'm not trying to do anything ......," Li Qinghui argued.

"You still don't think about it, do you? See you on the winter solstice, do you want to invite him back for the Spring Festival, and the whole family will be reunited? It's spring, do you want to go green together? Qingming Festival is just right, right? During the May Day holiday, I'm going out again, right? When Wenwen and Xixi are on summer vacation, do they still want to travel with the whole family? After traveling, it's September and October, do you want to spend a long vacation together? When I died on the day, I thought about it even more, and I had to see each other even more, right? Oh, and birthdays. Your birthday, my birthday, your two sisters' birthdays, everyone in the family celebrates their birthdays, do you want him to come back and take a group photo together? Aunt Li didn't break her fingers, but one by one, Li Qinghui's face was red.

Aunt Li snorted coldly, "The human heart is insufficient, and the snake swallows the elephant." Li Qinghui, why didn't I see it before, you are such a person? Why did I raise you like this? ”

"Can this be the same? That's my dad! Li Qinghui raised his voice, and his eyes were a little red, "That's Dad...... Don't you want to? ”

Aunt Li didn't answer right away.

At this time, if you want to replace it with Uncle Li, I'm afraid you won't be able to answer such a question.

Uncle Li contacted Aunt Li every day, and often asked about the status of several children and grandchildren. Thinking so about himself, how could he have the confidence to refute Li Qinghui's words?

Aunt Li is the kind of cheeky person.

She also has a kind of ability to cry, make trouble, and hang herself.

Aunt Li's voice choked up at this time, and slapped Li Qinghui on the shoulder, "You stinky boy!" What do you mean? I wouldn't want to? How long have you been with him? When you were a child, I still pulled a handful of and urine. Before you were born, I slept in the same bed with the old man. You go to school, you marry a wife, you buy a house...... Where were you then? Who stayed with the old man all day? Is it you or me? If it weren't for you little things, I would have gone with you old man. I'll stay here and bury you, and you'll be told? You conscienceless thing! Who are you as a mother? ”

Aunt Li slapped Li Qinghui a few times, but she was still angry, and shouted: "If it weren't for you, what would I care about so much?" Who am I for? You can do whatever you want? Do you understand the separation between yin and yang? I've got one foot in the coffin, I can do anything, what about you? You haven't retired yet, you still have to go to work at work, you still have a daughter-in-law, you still have a son and daughter. Can you mess around? What do you make people think of you? You used to know that it didn't work, it wasn't right, looking for Xiao Chen to stare at me, but now? You're going to mess around, and the spittle stars will drown you! And your nephew and niece, Wenwen and Xixi are not married or have a job, you are an uncle, you are like this? What kind of eyes will people look at our house? ”

Aunt Li's words made Li Qinghui's heart sink and his mind cleared up a lot.

Aunt Li glared at Li Qinghui.

Li Qinghui could only bow his head.

"Mom, don't be angry." Li Qinghui said in a low voice.

Aunt Li snorted, "I'll tell you the truth, it's not like I haven't thought about it, sell this house and find a remote place, no one knows us, I'll take the old man to move in." When the time comes, you will come and see it when you have time. ”

Li Qinghui was stunned.

"But it won't work." Aunt Li said sonorously, "Where people should stay, there are ghosts where ghosts should stay." Whoever wants to do what they want can do it, this society must not be completely chaotic? Let's just say you, let you retire at the age of sixty-five, and you will cry out for grievances, so that you will have to work when you die, and you will not rebel? And we, old men and women, have a higher retirement salary than you get. If we don't die, if we don't make room, what are you going to do? You're done, can we be okay? ”

Aunt Li is full of words.

In fact, it is possible for Uncle Li to live to old age and work until he is old, but she is never so highly conscious.

In Aunt Li's opinion, after a person dies, go to the underworld and don't worry about anything, that's the right way. When you are alive, you are tired all your life, and you can't be at peace when you die? So what's the point of being human?

Uncle Li also knew his wife's thoughts, so he had planned for a long time to go to Xudu together when Aunt Li died. When they arrive in Xudu, in addition to having no mobile phones and no Internet, they can also find their old brothers and sisters in the past, who will not be adaptable, but will not be lonely.

They still miss their children, but they know that they have their own lives and will live well. They can stay in the capital with peace of mind.

Li Qinghui didn't know this, but he was smashed down by Aunt Li's big truth, and he was also dizzy and couldn't refute it.

He looked at Aunt Li and could only sigh, "Mom, I know, I know." ”

"You also have to learn to let go." Aunt Li slowed down her tone, "You, you originally looked good at everything, who knew you were so careless." ”

"Am I doing nothing?" Li Qinghui couldn't cry or laugh, "I'...... I don't have my father......."

"Your grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents have passed away, and you haven't experienced it." Aunt Li said.

"That's different." Li Qinghui shook his head.

Li Qinghui couldn't tell what was different.

Is it because they are not intimate enough after a generation?

Or was it because he was still young at the time, and Uncle Li and Aunt Li were more sad than him?

He thought about it, and realized that he couldn't think of an answer to this question.

"Then you'll have to get used to it. You've got a long time to live. I'm not going to say a good thing, what if your wife goes one step ahead of you? What if you send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? Aunt Li said a little coldly.

Li Qinghui was silent.

"You're going to send me away. When the time comes, you will be the eldest brother and the pillar of the family. Although your two younger sisters are not young, they have husbands and children, but you, the eldest brother, must take care of them. Ah Hui, my mother can't take care of you for the rest of your life. Aunt Li said softly, "Your father is gone, you still have me, but sooner or later, I will also leave." You, you have to be this family sooner. ”

Li Qinghui, who was over half a hundred years old, looked at Aunt Li.

Aunt Li naturally looks much older than him.

He also knew a long time ago that his parents were old and that he had to take on the responsibility of supporting and caring for them.

He always thought that he had done a good job for so many years.

He thought he had already taken care of the family.

It turned out that he was just a child under his parents' knees.

He's still coquettish with his elderly mother.

Li Qinghui took Aunt Li's hand and didn't answer, but lowered his head.

Aunt Li did not touch her son's head, but patted the back of his hand.

The mother and son didn't speak for a while.

Aunt Li's phone rang.

She glanced at the prompt of the WeChat message, her eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly picked up her phone.

She, like many young people these days, would rename her contacts. Uncle Li's name was changed by her to a pseudonym that none of her children could think of. She also changed the WeChat prompt to remind Uncle Li to change his avatar to ensure that the connection between them would not be suspected.

It was Li Yun, and she also changed her name.

These arrangements have been fruitful.

At least now, Li Qinghui only saw the WeChat prompt and glanced at Uncle Li's avatar, but he didn't see the content of the message, and he didn't have any suspicions.

"Alright, alright. You should go back early. I went back just in time for dinner. You also care about your wife. You feel uncomfortable during this time, and she is also uncomfortable. You can't treat your wife as a nanny without conscience. Aunt Li began to teach Li Qinghui again.

Li Qinghui is very innocent, he didn't treat Miao Ying as a nanny, but he really doesn't care about her recently.

The old husband and wife are not as greasy and crooked as young people, and they still play romance. But after Uncle Li died, Miao Ying cared about him very much, and he couldn't help but know what was good and bad.

"I see. Mom, I'm going back. How do you eat dinner? Why don't you go back with me? I'll send you back in the evening......"

"Alright, let's go. I can eat whatever I want at night. Yesterday's dish is still there. There is also a small restaurant in front of the door. I'll go back with you, and come back again, are you tired? Aunt Li waved her hand in disgust.

finally sent Li Qinghui away, and Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief.

She has the time to reply to Uncle Li's message.

Naturally, she counted Li Qinghui down, and added a sentence at the end, "It's all inherited from you!" ”。

What can Uncle Li say?

His emotion and worry were washed away by Aunt Li's last words.

"Are you really going to sweep the grave on the day of the winter solstice?" Uncle Li asked.

"Go, why don't you go? You are not there, but your ashes are still buried underneath. You can't clean it up yourself, so I have to clean it up for you? I'll go to you in the afternoon when I'm done in the morning. The old dragon is coming back, does it have to be night? ”

"Possibly."

"Oh. Then I'll bring an ID card and stay in your hotel at that time. You ask Xiao Li to book a better hotel. I haven't stayed in a 5 star hotel yet. When you were alive, you didn't know how to enjoy your wife with you. You're finally dead, I can enjoy it, right? ”

Uncle Li was speechless again, but still relayed Aunt Li's request to Li Yun.

The winter solstice is not a golden time, and it is easy to book a five-star hotel.

After Li Yun finished the operation, he informed Uncle Li.

Uncle Li told Aunt Li again.

Aunt Li's mood has improved.

At the same time, in another city, Li Jingjing, who is also a mother, is in a different mood.

In Wang Yiqiu's bedroom, the computer is on, playing popular youth idol dramas.

In the living room, in addition to the statue, the spiritual seat, and the incense burner, there is also a Bodhisattva statue.

That bodhisattva is not the usual Guanyin or Maitreya, but Hades.

This is a statue of Bodhisattva that Li Jingjing finally found someone to ask back.

"Lord Yama, please raise your noble hand so that the little queen Yiqiu can stay at home for a few more days. She is young and ignorant, so if there is any collision, please bear with her. If you have anything to do, just look for us, don't look for her. What is there, we all bear the ......" Li Jingjing knelt in front of the statue of Hades, prayed earnestly, and offered incense to Hades.

Idol dramas have become background sounds.

Li Jingjing glanced at the calendar and said to herself: "Winter solstice...... On the winter solstice, can Xiaoqiu talk to us......"

Wang Yiqiu stood behind Li Jingjing, watching all this.
