After working like this for three days, with the help of Yang Fan and Da Niu, Changning successfully carved out half an acre of land.

She plans to plant half of this half acre of land with peppers and half leeks, and the soil in the ditch near the vegetable furrow is moist and fertile, which is just right for planting a row of water spinach.

Da Niu's mother is not in good health these days, and Da Niu is not worried about being too far away from home to deliver goods, so Chang Ning hired Da Niu to help open up the wasteland and farm with a daily salary of ten yuan.

Of course, ten cents is not much, but Chang Ning does not have a heavy job, the most important thing is that it is close to home, and Da Niu can go home to take care of his mother at any time.

It was almost time on this day, but there was still no big cow in sight, and Chang Ning was a little worried.

"Fugui'er, did you see the big cow this morning?"

Gou Fugui has been mixing very well with Da Niu in the past two days, boasting about some things that Da Niu has never seen, which makes Da Niu admire him so much that he seems to have treated him as his little brother.

He raised his head from the ground, glanced in the direction of Da Niu's house, and said unhappily: "This little brother is too incompetent, the eldest brother has been working in the field for more than an hour, and as the younger brother, he hasn't shown up yet!" ”

Chang Ning reminded him: "Brother Da Niu is honest, don't bully people." ”

Gou Fugui repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, you won't go to the capital to inquire, I Gou Fugui has multiple brotherhood." ”

Chang Ning couldn't refute it, because Gou Fugui did perform the consciousness of his brother's two ribs very well.

When others steal chickens, he touches dogs, when others fight, he helps, and when others gamble, he sends money.

In the circle of gentlemen in the capital, no one really said that he was not good.

It's a pity that they are all friends of wine and meat, and once they were imprisoned, no one came to the rescue.

Da Niu is honest and honest, and when he rarely breaks his promise to others, Chang Ning is a little uneasy, so he said to Gou Fugui: "You go to Da Niu's house to see if something happened to his mother!" ”

"Oh!"

With this opportunity to be lazy, how could Gou Fugui let it go, he hurriedly put down the pepper seeds in his hand and went to Da Niu's house with a bang.

But after a while, Gou Fugui hurriedly ran back: "Someone in charge, something happened!" ”

Chang Ning's subordinates were stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gou Fugui ran out of breath, pointed in the direction of Da Niu's house, and stammered: "it...... It doesn't seem to work! ”

"Hurry up and inform the village chief." Chang Ning said to Han Yuanyuan, "I'll go and have a look first." ”

Han Yuyuan: "Okay, I'll be there in a moment." ”

"Hmm."

Da Niu's family lives in the south of the village, not far from Erqing's house, today Erqing and Erqing's father have gone out to build a house, and no one is at home, so no one has found anything abnormal.

When Chang Ning stepped into Da Niu's house, there was no one in the guest hall, but a sobbing sound could be faintly heard.

Following the sound into the inner room and standing at the door, Chang Ning saw the white-haired woman lying on the bed at a glance.

is obviously only in her forties, and her long-term illness has tormented her like a seventy-year-old woman.

Her eyes were closed, her face was swollen, her lips were sunken by her crooked teeth, and black blood was spilling out between her lips, staining her chest.

She glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, the woman was lifeless with the smell of death and decay all around her.

Da Niu knelt beside the bed with a blank gaze, just holding the woman's hand, blindly shedding tears.

Chang Ning endured the strong smell of Chinese medicine on the tip of his nose and a perennial stench of lying sick and rotten and stepped into the house and stood beside him.

"Brother Niu, are you okay?"

It wasn't until Chang Ning spoke up that Da Niu realized that there was one more person in the house.

He turned his head stiffly, and when he saw Chang Ning's worried face, the sadness that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly gushed out.

"Sister Changning, I don't have a mother......

The choked voice was sad, making Chang Ning couldn't help but redden.

"Brother Niu, please mourn, you need to be strong at this time."

Chang Ning put his hand on Da Niu's shoulder and comforted him: "Send your aunt a decent walk!" ”

Looking at the appearance of the patient, I also know that the last days of life were not easy.

Or in the eyes of the patient, death, more like relief.

Da Niu covered his face with both hands, letting tears slide down his fingers, and his burly body looked extremely thin and helpless at the moment.

Han Yuyuan came quickly, and Cao Nianshun and Yun Niang followed behind into the house.

Cao Nianshun stepped forward to check the situation of the big cow girl, frowned and shook his head gloomily.

"Terminally ill, vomiting blood caused by stomach ulcers......"

Da Niu Niang has been ill for a long time, and everyone knows that she will die soon, including Da Niu, she has already been mentally prepared.

Cao Nianshun turned back to Yun Niang and said, "Go find Zhang Feng to come over, the Da Niu family needs to personally handle the funeral." ”

"Huh!"

Yun Niang responded, then turned around and retreated.

"Village Chief, is there anything we can do to help?" Chang Ning asked.

Cao Nianshun glanced at Han Yuyuan with a vague gaze, to be honest, he didn't dare to ask him to do it.

God knows how panicked I felt when I saw him come to the door.

It's almost all ten toes fastened.

Cao Nianshun thought about it again and again, and then pretended to speak calmly: "In this way, you go to the stove house to boil two pots of boiling water, and clean all the dishes, chopsticks and teacups that can be found, okay?" ”

"Okay."

Chang Ning dragged Han Yuyuan to the kitchen, there were a lot of unused dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen cupboard of Da Niu's house, Chang Ning moved them all out, then cleaned them, and boiled two pots of boiling water for later use.

Zhang Feng has enough experience in the village, and he has handled a lot of white things, so he hurriedly walked into the house, and spit out words with a crackle in his mouth:

"Brother Feng, you go to the town to buy a few pears and a piece of pig's head meat, and in addition, Da Niu Niang ordered a coffin at Li's house in advance, so that the Eight King Kongs could hurry up and send it over, remember to seal it."

Wang Feng hurriedly responded, walked to Da Niu's side and comforted him before leaving, and then turned around and went out to do something.

Da Niu Niang prepared the items she needed for the future a year ago, and hid all the things at the bottom of the wardrobe.

Because of her friendship with Zhang Feng, she was given full authority for the future.

Zhang Feng opened the wardrobe and placed all the shrouds and her favorite clothes on the bed, and spread out the shrouds to cover her body.

Zhang Feng glanced at the big cow who was in a trance, sighed, and then grabbed Gou Fugui, who was hiding behind the door, and called: "Go, bring in two basins of hot water from the stove house." ”

"What?!"

Gou Fugui pointed to his nose in disbelief.

He is the son of the Hubu Shangshu family, let him go to a dead man, is there a mistake!

When Zhang Feng saw him grinding and chirping, he immediately became angry and roared, "Don't go quickly!" What are you doing there! ”

Whining......

Gou Fugui ran to the stove house aggrieved.

Tigress or something is terrible.

Zhang Feng's roar was not aimed at Gou Fugui, she didn't even know who Gou Fugui was, she only knew that he was a relative of the Changning family.

The reason why it is so loud is actually to wake up the big cow who is indulging in sadness.
