Hua Magpie guessed that Xiaomei was likely to have a play with Gao Laosan, and didn't want to lose the opportunity to participate, so she thought about it.

I saw her take three steps and do two steps, hurried home, loaded a basket of sunflower seeds, and quickly returned, seeing that the motorcycle was still parked at the gate of Xiaomei's house, she went directly into the yard of Xiaomei's house.

"Is Xiaomei at home?"

The flower magpie opened the door and said hello.

Xiaomei saw the flower magpie coming and welcomed her into the house.

"Hello Aunt Hua, I really don't know how to thank you, my family's affairs have bothered Aunt Hua a lot these days." Xiaomei saw that the flower magpie brought a basket of sunflower seeds and asked, "Aunt Hua, what are you doing here?" ”

"I heard that everyone said that you have a distinguished guest at home, now it is not what it used to be, Aunt Hua is worried that your family has nothing to entertain, so she specially collected a basket of melon seeds, and before you have time to fry it, you go and fry it to entertain the guests." The flower magpie said in a loud voice, "Which distinguished guest is here?" ”

"Aunt Hua is definitely no stranger, she is the director of the commune guest house, and she wants my family's sewing machine back." Xiaomei took the basket, put it on the pot table in the outhouse, and pushed the door to let the flower magpie into the inner room.

Gao Laosan had never met with the flower magpie before, and at this time, the flower magpie entered the house, and Gao Laosan stood up politely and greeted him with a smile.

"Let me introduce you, this is the director of the commune guest house," Mr. Ye Kun said, "This is Hua Xiaofeng, a famous powerful person in our happy tun." ”

"Tut-tut, what Hua Xiaofeng, I can't even remember my name, the people in Tunli call me Hua Magpie," Hua Magpie was full of enthusiasm, "Fortunately, Director Gao, the third child of Director Gao's family, right?" Your mother is Dr. Feng, you should call me Aunt Hua, although we haven't met, we should have been familiar with each other a long time ago, and I have a lot of worries about you behind my back. ”

"Aunt Hua, hello, I've heard that I should have visited you a long time ago, the third child is rude, rude, please take a seat." Gao Laosan motioned for the flower magpie to sit down.

"Don't you, you, yours, I'm not used to listening to it, as if Aunt Hua is old." Hua Magpie said, "I heard that you helped bring back the sewing machine of Teacher Ye's house?" It's amazing, only you can do it, no one else can't. Teacher Ye, do you see it, can this person be the same compared to others? I guess we Xiaomei still have face, right, third? ”

"Of course, of course, for Xiaomei, it doesn't matter if I stick a knife in my three ribs." Gao Laosan was grateful to this flower magpie for giving him a chance to confess.

"It is said that there is no plane tree that can't attract a golden phoenix, and I'm just wondering if it's okay, why does this phoenix have to fall on the plane tree? How does it not fall on willows, poplars? Alas, the willow tree can only fall into the house, and the poplar can only stand a magpie, and what horse has to be matched with what saddle, this is the reason for this throughout the ages, this is counted. The flower magpie observed the words and said, "The third child, Xiaomei is the pearl of our happy people, she teaches in the central school and lives in your guest house, you have to help us take good care of her, otherwise Aunt Hua will not forgive you." ”

"What Aunt Hua said is exactly what the third child thinks, don't worry, Auntie, the third child will definitely do it."

"That's right, then Aunt Hua is relieved." Hua Magpie stood up, "You talk to Teacher Ye first, I'll go to see if Xiaomei fried the melon seeds well, Aunt Hua heard that you were here, and she went home to get it, Teacher Ye's family went through such a time, and suddenly returned to before the liberation, I was afraid of snubbing you, a noble son." ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Hua, with my third child here, everything will be fine in the future." Gao Laosan put on a confident style.

The flower magpie guided, Gao Laosan went to the road, and the two of them sang and harmonized in front of Teacher Ye Kun, Teacher Ye Kun couldn't speak, and it didn't sound good, and there was no way.

Xiaomei fried the sunflower seeds, brought them into the house, didn't want to stay, had a plan, and said: "Aunt Hua, Director Gao, you talk first, I'm sorry, I have to hurry up and prepare for class, otherwise I won't be able to give a lecture to the students tomorrow." ”

"Oh, then you can get busy, I should go back too." Gao Laosan stood up pretendedly.

"What's the hurry, take a while of melon seeds and then leave, this is Aunt Hua's intention, besides, Xiaomei personally fried it, you can't give your aunt face, you can't even give Xiaomei's face, right?"

"Well, it really bothered Aunt Hua, and the third child is grateful."

Where did Gao Laosan want to go, as soon as the flower magpie said this, he sat down again.

Teacher Ye Kun deliberately led the topic to the management of the guest house and talked to Gao Laosan, and combined with the drought in Xingfutun to chat with the flower magpie, chatted for a while, Gao Laosan thought to himself, he can't stay too long, he wants to return the motorcycle to the police station, after a long time, I am afraid that the police station will be in urgent need, it will be difficult to explain.

Gao Laosan was finally willing to get up and say goodbye, rode a motorcycle, and left in style.

Teacher Ye Kun, Xiaomei and Hua Magpie stood at the gate, and just as they saw off Gao Laosan, they heard someone crying at the east end of Tundong.

Distinguish the voice carefully, it's Xiao Dunzi, the son of Carpenter Zhang, what's wrong? What's wrong?

Teacher Ye Kun, Xiaomei and Hua Magpie, as well as other neighbors at the gate, followed the sound and looked towards Tundongtou.

After a while, I saw Xiao Dunzi coming over, with a white cloth belt tied to his head, and knelt down in front of the adults, crying and shouting, "My father is gone, my father is gone......"

Carpenter Zhang usually has no illness, why is he suddenly gone? Really? Everyone can't believe it, but how can a child make such a joke? It seems to be true.

What's going on? Everyone hurried to Xiao Dunzi, wanting to ask what was going on.

Xiao Dunzi was surrounded by everyone, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried and said: "My father is gone, I am not filial, because I offended the Ye family, the people in the whole tun looked at my father coldly, scolded me for lacking eight lifetimes of virtue, said that I had someone to raise and no one to teach, said that my father was not a godfather's fault, and my father couldn't afford it, so he died headlong." My father doesn't deserve to die, what's wrong with me, you say, you say, what kind of world is this? Still unreasonable? My dad is gone, what should I do in the future......"

"Little Dunzi, you mourn first," Hua Magpie stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Where did your father hit, is it really hopeless?" ”

"I hit the stone wall of the carpentry workshop, I can't help it, I'm out of breath, what can I do......"

Everyone didn't continue to ask Xiao Dunzi, and ran to the carpentry room one after another.

Teacher Ye Kun asked Xiaomei to go home to take care of her younger brother Xiaoguang, and he also hurried to the carpentry room.

At this time, the carpentry workshop at the east end of Xingfu Tun was full of members, and Captain Wang Kui and Yakzi had already arrived.

A makeshift bonfire was lit up in the courtyard.

Carpenter Zhang lay flat on a sack in the courtyard, and his face was covered with a white cloth bag.

Carpenter Zhang is really dead.

Someone went to see the place where he hit the wall, it was the stone wall of the old mill, and the stone wall was stained with blood.

Captain Wang Kui instructed people to notify the militia company of the brigade to verify the identity of Carpenter Zhang and prove the cause of death.

After soliciting the advice of Captain Wang Kui, he organized a group of people to set up a mourning shed in the carpentry room overnight.

Not long after, Song Lianyi, the commander of the militia company of the production brigade, led two militiamen to arrive, inspected the situation at the scene, and Xiao Dunzi and Captain Wang Kui were called to a room for inquiry.

Xiao Dunzi said that his father has been unable to raise his head in front of people these days, and no one in Tunli looks at him directly, and some people spit on him when they see him, saying behind his back that he is not virtuous, wolf-hearted, and instigating Xiao Dunzi to say bad things about the Ye family, and openly criticizing good people at the general meeting of the society, and letting the dog eat it with conscience.

These days, Carpenter Zhang feels extremely embarrassed, often loses his temper with Xiao Dunzi, after Mr. Ye Kun was put back, Carpenter Zhang repeatedly asked Xiao Dunzi to kneel and kowtow to Mr. Ye Kun and apologize, but Xiao Dunzi just refused, he didn't think he was wrong.

This morning, Carpenter Zhang forced Xiao Dunzi to his mother's grave to burn paper to pay tribute to his mother, Zhang Carpenter asked Xiao Dunzi to repent in front of his mother's grave, Xiao Dunzi did not repent, thinking that he was not only right, but also meritorious, whoever is against him in the future, he will fight with whom, and will never compromise.

"I'm not wrong, my dad is not wrong, why did he let me admit my mistake?" Xiao Dunzi only had anger in front of the militia and Captain Wang Kui, no tears, "My father died unjustly, and he let everyone die for the nest, who nested my father, I am not finished with him, please ask the militia to make the decision for my father, I want to ask my father for an explanation." ”

After repeated questioning by the militia of the brigade, Xiao Dunzi admitted that when his mother came back today, his father and he quarreled again, and his father forced him, beat him, and asked him to confess his mistake to the Ye family, but not only did he not go, but he also broke the carpentry tools in anger.

After that, Xiao Dunzi said that he was leaving Xingfutun and would never come back. In the evening, when he returned to the carpentry shop, he found his father dead under the stone walls of the old mill.

The thing is very clear, Xiao Dunzi does not hide half a lie in his words, he is not a liar.

Song Lianyi, the commander of the militia company of the brigade, arranged for the militia to report the situation to the commune police station overnight, and agreed to mourn Zhang Carpenter in Xingfutun.

According to the rules of Xingfutun, someone died, the mortuary was suspended for three days, and the whole tun mourned.

Carpenter Zhang's death shook the people of Quantun a lot. Carpenter Zhang is determined to die, sad, lamentable, and resting!

When Mr. Ye Kun heard about the cause of Carpenter Zhang's death, he was very sad, he never felt that Carpenter Zhang was a good person, and he didn't think that Xiaodunzi was so hateful.

"Brother Zhang, you shouldn't go, you drove the crane west, let me be embarrassed, do you know how much my heart hurts?"

Ye Kun was the first to kneel in front of Carpenter Zhang's spirit and wept bitterly.

Carpenter's relatives all rushed to mourn, at first there were still a number of small piers, and then they felt that he was pitiful, after all, he was the saddest person at this time, people can't be resurrected after death, what's the use of blaming him, so no one reasoned with him anymore.

Under the Zhang Luo of the Tunli people, especially after the flower magpie ran forward and after, three days later, Zhang Carpenter was buried, and Xingfu Tun lost a good person and a good carpenter.

The dead are gone, and the days of donkey grinding for the common people of Xingxingtun must continue.
