Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 9

It was rare for Starry Night to get up late in the morning. Last night, she couldn't fall asleep after thinking about it for a long time. It was only after dawn that she fell asleep drowsily.

When Xingye woke up, he looked at his mother first, stretched out his hand and snorted, and then he was relieved.

"Afraid that mother won't wake up?" Yu Youyue opened her eyes, her voice was weak.

Xingye scratched her head in embarrassment, the first thing she did when she woke up these days was to make sure that her mother survived another night, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Mom, today is Laba. I soaked rice last night. Can I make Laba porridge? Put more of your favorite red dates."

"Yezi, I dreamed about your dad, he is in good spirits."

Xingye smiled and said, "Mom, you miss my dad."

"Yeah, I've never been apart for such a long time, go ahead, put more peanuts your dad likes to eat"

Xingye looked at the casserole on the fire in the kitchen, and the steamed eight-treasure porridge tumbling in the pot gave off a burst of rice fragrance.The porridge is very fragrant, and there is a touch of sweetness with red dates and no sugar.

It became two bowls of porridge and came to mother's room. Mother was lying on the bed as usual, but Xingye felt a strange feeling spread all over her body.

She walked quickly to the bed, "Mom, the porridge is ready, you can eat it" Xingye's voice trembled slightly, "Mom"

The person on the bed didn't respond, Xingye put his hand under his mother's nose, then withdrew his hand violently.

I took my mother's hand and called loudly: "Mom, wake up, wake up!" Even if she didn't call her mother, there was no response.

Xingye threw herself on her mother and cried loudly, crying about her insignificance. After being reborn, she faced life and death one after another. She knew the result but was powerless to change it. She could only watch it happen.

After all, she has gone through the cycle of life and death, not the little girl who only knew how to cry back then, after starry night cried a lot to vent.I went to invite the neighbor's grandmother, the third uncle and the third aunt of the Luo family and other close relatives in the family to discuss a series of funeral affairs.

His father's body was still parked in the county funeral home, and someone brought it back and buried it with his mother.The female relatives of the family helped prepare the clothes, and the third uncle and grandma's son, Liang Bo Zhang Luo, bought two good coffins and buried them in the ancestral grave.Because the two people who passed away were not too old, everything about the funeral was simple, and it took two days to finish it.

Xingye is a filial son, she doesn't care about everything, she knelt in the mourning hall, cried one after another, hadn't eaten rice for two days, was exhausted both mentally and physically, and was about to fall far away when she was going to the funeral. come over.

Sending everyone away, Xingye fell headlong on the bed and fell into a coma. The third aunt cooked food, but she couldn't wake her up. The third aunt was so scared that she thought she passed out. It was Grandma Luo who came to see and said, "It's okay, It's because the child is too tired, let her sleep, she should be hungry when she wakes up, it's really hard for her." Everyone was relieved to let her sleep, and she slept for more than ten hours, and didn't wake up until the next day.

Unexpectedly at the funeral, Manager Liu of Yaofa Company also came to express his condolences, and gave Xing Ye a gift of [-] yuan, and told Xing Ye that he could arrange for Xing Ye to go to work in the guest house in the county after the incident. Xing Ye was surprised by Boss Liu's enthusiasm, but Because he had his own plan, he politely declined his proposal.Boss Liu left with regret, and said again that if Xingye had any difficulties, he could go to him.

Afterwards, the third aunt told Xingye that Boss Liu also came from a poor background, but he was a good person, but it was a pity that Xingye rejected the job in the county.Because it is said that the guest house belongs to the county government, and it is different from those small hotels run by individuals. Many girls in the county town have to find ways to get in. It is really a good job for girls.

Xingye didn't quite agree with the third aunt's words. After all, it was Boss Liu who wanted to shirk responsibility at the beginning and wanted to send her 2000 yuan. At this time, he was too enthusiastic, which made people doubt his intentions.Even if he had good intentions and no malice, and he still had a lot of plans to do, he wouldn't stay in this small county for a long time.

Xingye packed up her parents' belongings, burned their old clothes and quilts, and put away some commemorative things.The whole house seemed much empty, and the room still felt cold after the stove was burned.

In the dead of night, Xingye, who was sitting on the bed surrounded by the quilt, opened her mother's diary, flipped through the pages, and then read the dozen or so letters according to the time.When the sky was slightly bright, Xingyehe entered the diary, sighed, and understood everything in the past, that person was not a bad person, but Xingye was still worthless for his mother, after all, his choice hurt her mother.

It's best for me and his future life to be like two parallel lines, never to be handed over together.

After the first seven days, Xingye looked at the people sitting in a room. These people were relatives, neighbors, and creditors. In order to see the doctor for his mother, his father borrowed a lot of debts. All are invited.

"Uncles and uncles, our family's affairs are thanks to everyone's help. I thank you first." After Xingye finished speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed three times to everyone. She helped up.

"Also, when my mother was sick, I borrowed a lot of money from everyone. Thanks to everyone's help, my mother can persist until now, or I would have disappeared last year." Xingye said with red eyes.

Everyone said: "There are no outsiders here. If there is something to help, it should be."

Xingye wiped her tears and said seriously: "Although my parents are gone, I recognize the debt. Every family's life is not easy. Let everyone come today, and I can pay back as much as I want. If it is not enough, I will go to work to earn money to pay back. We must not ruin everyone's account."

After hearing Xingye's categorical words, everyone in the room couldn't help but feel embarrassed.I was carrying the IOU in my pocket. When I came here, many people were still worried about the account and didn’t know what to do with it. But now, after listening to what Xingye said, these honest villagers felt embarrassed. Didn’t I force other people’s children? , people have just lost their parents and are helpless.

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Xingye admired it in his heart, it's really rustic, if in a big city, the brothers turned against each other for money, it's like this mountain village and small town, most of the people still have a heart of innocence.

"Third Uncle, please come first"

If someone takes the lead, everyone can let it go, and things are simple. At the beginning, I wrote IOUs, but now it is convenient. I have IOUs in one hand and cash in the other. Every family does not have much. Some have a few hundred yuan, and some have one or two thousand. Money is nothing more than the cost of a big meal, but in this small town where the per capita income does not know 2000 yuan, most families can't save [-] yuan a year.

If everything is paid off like this, there is only 2 yuan left in the compensation of more than 2000 yuan, but Xingye feels relaxed and does not need to carry debts to live. I believe Brother Huiye will do the same.

Everyone took the money and dispersed, the third uncle of the Luo family and his wife and a young couple stayed behind.

"Third Uncle, what do you have?" Xingye thanked his father's cousin from the bottom of his heart, thanks to the help of his husband and wife for such a long time.

"This is the natal brother of your Zhifang's sister-in-law Yuancun. They want to start a small business in the town." The third uncle introduced the two young people.

Xingye nodded to them as a greeting. Seeing that the two looked ordinary, the man looked honest, but the woman looked shrewd, but not ostentatious.

"Our town is small, and all the small businesses are on this street, so I fell in love with the front house outside your house and wanted to buy it."

Xingye couldn't help frowning. It turned out that his father opened a small hardware store. The two storefronts in front of the city are across the yard. This house is ancestral property. Selling ancestral property is unfilial in this ancient town. The one who gets poked in the back, even if he doesn't think about these things, he should also think about Brother Hui Ye, after all, he is the real owner of this house.

"Third Uncle, this house cannot be sold. My brother is still there. When he comes back in two years, all of this will belong to him. Even if he gives this house away, I won't say a word. I don't have that right."

After hearing Xingye's words, the young couple looked disappointed. Just now they saw that the girl spoke and acted neatly, and they knew that she was a person with her own opinions. Now she even rejected her request to buy a house, but the town is so big, and they went to that place. Looking for a suitable house?

"It's because your third uncle didn't think carefully, and because our town is small, we couldn't find a suitable place all at once." Thinking of the identity of Xingye's stepdaughter, the third aunt also felt that the matter was wrong.If Xingye really asked someone to sell the house, the spittle of the people in this town could drown her.

"I can't sell it, but I can rent it. If I can, I will rent it to you for two years before my brother comes back, and we can discuss it after he comes back." Xingye saw that the two of them were a little tempted, and continued: "If it is rented, The rent is only 100 yuan a month, and you can use everything except my family’s original bedroom, the kitchen, the warehouse, and the courtyard.”

"What about you, sister, where are you going?" the young daughter-in-law asked.

Xingye smiled bitterly and said: "After the new year, I will go outside. I won't come back these few years, even my brother probably won't come back either. I left this house for a place to go to in the future. Is there a home everywhere, so sister-in-law, if you want to rent, I will give you a cheap rent, and I will ask you to help maintain the house."

The couple discussed for a while, and they both felt it was a good deal, and the daughter-in-law made a decision on the spot, and it was settled.Pay the rent in one lump sum after the Chinese New Year.
