Chapter 344: A Sadder Story
After the funeral ceremony, a group of people dressed in filial piety turned around and walked back; On the road, the wind and snow accompanied by the gentle and desolate mourning music, which made people cry.
When I entered the village, the mourning stopped, and the environment became extremely quiet, and I could only hear the rattling of the ice and soil under my feet.
After returning to the house, Yuan's father and other villagers began to prepare meals for relatives and friends, and at the same time, Yuan Shengda and Yuan Bin, sisters and brothers, wearing filial piety hats, bowed and thanked their relatives and friends for the funeral one by one.
When the two of them walked to Lai Yang and the others, Yuan Shengda's swollen face deeply stimulated everyone, and before Yuan Sheng could bow, Lai Yang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her stiff arm and said.
"Loud...... Let's not be polite, Auntie is gone, don't be too sad, I haven't drunk this cup of hot water, you warm up first. ”
Lai Yang handed over the porcelain bowl in his hand, but Yuan Shengda shook his head slightly, took Lai Yang's hand and took a step back, bowed deeply, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you all for saying goodbye to my mom, thank you ......"
A trace of astonishment flashed in everyone's eyes, and at the same time, they also turned their heads slightly to look at Laiyang who was standing, and after a few seconds, Yunlu's eyes flashed with tears, and he said to Yuan Sheng.
"Sister Sheng... Don't do that, okay? I ...... in my heart I. ”
Song Wen gently hugged her shoulders, but Yunlu's tears had already flowed, she wiped them away vigorously and continued.
"Auntie is gone, and she doesn't want to see you like this...... From now on, no, you have us from beginning to end, we have us. ”
Yuan Bin also bowed, and then said: "Thank you for taking care of my sister, let's eat something to warm up after a while, Brother Li, you first beckon everyone to find a place to sit, and my sister and I will go to thank other relatives first." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Diandu looked at Laiyang with a blank look.
The corners of Laiyang's mouth opened slightly, and his face was pale.
"Yes, Li Dian, you will work hard for a while to help me find some cars, first take everyone to Xi'an, or find a hotel in the nearest Xianyang, I will have a ......meal at noon tomorrow after I finish the wake tonight."
After Yuan Sheng finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Yuan Bin again, turned around and left.
Lai Yang looked at their backs, and the whole person fell into an indescribable complex emotion, and he felt that in the hearts of the Yuan family's sisters and brothers, Li Dian was already higher than his own hair who had known him for more than 20 years.
Why is this happening?
After a while, his slightly clenched palm gradually loosened, and he thought he understood......
……
Half an hour later, Li Dian called a few vans, and after saying goodbye to Yuan Sheng, he dragged everyone to Yuanjia Village, three kilometers away, and stayed in the homestay there.
Yuanjia Village is also an inconspicuous village nearby, but for more than ten years, under the leadership of the village party secretary, the strength of the villagers has been concentrated on tourism and development.
More than ten years of changes have made this originally dilapidated place have embarked on the fast road, and even become a demonstration point for rural revitalization in the country.
Even in December, as soon as I got close to the village, there were parking spaces everywhere, and the people inside were full of voices, so that Song Wen, Yunlu and others got out of the car, and their expressions changed greatly.
From the snack street to the cultural street, teahouses, horse riding fields, B&B streets, etc., there are crowds everywhere, and there are many tour groups that bring people directly to the door, and once you arrive at the door of the village committee, there is a temple across the street, which is dazzling.
After walking along the crowd for about ten minutes, everyone finally came to the B&B Street, Li Dian took everyone to a store, he and the owner seemed to know each other, and after a simple greeting, he began to accept everyone's ID card to apply for a room.
Laiyang and everyone stayed on the second and third floors respectively, and after putting down their luggage, everyone went downstairs again, went to the snack street to find a noodle restaurant, and hurriedly filled their stomachs.
Li Liangxin looked at the flow of people outside the store, took out the paper and wiped his mouth and sighed; "The difference between these three kilometers is so big? This village is so powerful? ”
"Yes, Brother Li, why is it so prosperous here? Feel as lively as Pingyao Ancient Town? ”
Yun Lu suddenly blinked his eyes after speaking, looked at Lai Yang again, and added: "Brother Yang, your realm, do you want to talk about it too?" ”
Laiyang lowered his head and ate noodles, and said, "Let Brother Li talk about it." ”
Li Dian pushed the frame a little speechlessly: "You saw the piece of the village committee just now, and the inscription of the leader, Yuanjia Village has become a big brand, and many large supermarkets in China have cooperated, renting a few thousand square meters of space inside, listing in Yuanjia Village, introducing various folk snacks, and of course, cultural and creative industries, etc., in short, in the name of the village, it is now in the name of the village, which is considered this in China." ”
Li Dian gave a thumbs up, and then sucked up.
Gao Yunjian wiped the wooden desktop with paper, and inadvertently sighed: "It seems that you are very familiar with the surroundings of Xi'an now, and you are more like a Xi'an person than Laiyang." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Mo took the lead in looking at him, and everyone was stunned, and they all lowered their heads to eat.
……
At night, Yuanjia Village began to be deserted, and after the snack street was finished, the last glimmer of light was moved to the bar and folk street.
Laiyang and the others didn't have the leisure to drink, and they all went back to their rooms to rest.
But at this moment, Li Dian knocked on the door of Laiyang's room, sat on the bed after entering the house, took off his eyes and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and got straight to the point.
"Laiyang, what is the current dividend of the theater? Can I pay for my share of the big voice now? ”
“…… What's wrong? Be... Need money urgently? ”
"Well, let's be honest, I've been trying to keep you from looking for you lately. Aunt Yuan's hospitalization, surgery, and medical expenses are not small, especially the last few heart stents, which cost ...... More than 470,000 yuan were also borrowed. ”
"So much!"
Laiyang was stunned for a while, but soon realized that something was wrong, he instinctively turned his head to look at the corner, and hurriedly took out a cigarette and lit it, sitting on the wooden chair opposite the bed and sucking.
"It's a lot, but there's no way, it has to be cured." Li Dian also raised his hand to ask for a cigarette, and after taking a puff, his face was full of fatigue.
"After entering the hospital, you will know, people to that extent, don't care how busy you are, your career is bigger than the sky, you have to wait! To put it mildly, it's a bit like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the assembly line, I don't know how hard the butcher's knife of fate will swing, and it was very desperate at that time, I ...... I saw with my own eyes that when Aunt Yuan exchanged blood... Lying on a simple hospital bed, the blood flowed from one side to the other in the pipe, she was like a withered tree, her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open, and she was shooting at the ceiling...... Yes...... The sound of that...... That's cruel, it's cruel! ”
Li Dian's eyes were a little red, he looked at the ceiling and froze, the cigarette at the corner of his mouth also accumulated a long gray color, and finally fell on his trouser leg, and after a while, he continued with a trembling voice.
Sheng Da watched from the side, she wanted to grab Aunt Yuan's hand, but the nurse refused this, she could only watch and listen with tears in her eyes...... Hey, there is no way, I can only find a way to borrow money to save my life, I can take all I can, I repaid some loans online, and finally Xu Mo took out all the transfer money of the store in Shanghai, so as to support the last operation, but in the end, it was ...... Forget it, don't talk about this, my money is easy to say, Xu Mo's side is nearly 400,000, you can squeeze out the dividends and pay it back first. ”
“……”
The corners of Lai Yang's mouth trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
First, there was such a big thing, Yuan Shengda didn't say a word to herself, was she already so strange to herself in her heart?
The second is because he is now less than 30,000 people, and the theater is gone, Li Dian doesn't know about this.
"What's wrong? Inconvenience? Li Dian cast a surprised look.
Laiyang let out a long "hey", his hand holding the cigarette slowly covered his forehead, closed his eyes and said quietly.
"It's not inconvenient, brother, the situation on my side...... Another, sadder story. ”
