Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 36

This day, Xiaoxiu was feeding the pigs in the back, while still thinking about how to ask someone to find a relationship to get a bicycle ticket. In the end, she still feels sorry for Xiaosu who has to walk so much to work every day.After feeding the pigs, she was about to go back to the kitchen when she heard someone knocking on the door. Thinking that the good woman was at the front door, Xiaoxiu didn’t rush to open the door, but soon heard crying outside, Xiaoxiu hurriedly dropped the Something ran to find a good woman.

I ran out to take a look, and found a middle-aged man knelt on one knee, running on the legs of a good woman, crying, "My aunt, my mother is gone, you have to make decisions for me!" Xiaoxiu was curious about this Where did the people come from crying? Seeing the good woman shed two tears, Xiaoxiu hurriedly stepped forward to help the good woman, and then pulled the middle-aged man up: "Get up quickly, get up quickly!" "I didn't expect that the man would kneel down and hug Xiaoxiu's leg when he saw Xiaoxiu. Xiaoxiu backed away again and again, but she was still hugged. Fortunately, the man let go immediately.Otherwise, Xiaoxiu really doesn't know what to say.

After crying for a while, the good woman asked: "Zhenxiang, when did your mother leave? I haven't heard any news that your mother is in poor health. Why did she disappear all of a sudden?" Wipe away tears: "Auntie, my mother fell when she got up last night, and she was already dead when she found out. She left after three o'clock this morning. Auntie, you have to help me make the decision. No mother is The most bitter!"

After hearing this, the good woman shed a lot of tears. Zhenxiang had to go to other places to report the funeral, so he stood for a while and left.After Zhenxiang left, the good woman stood in the yard in a daze for a while, and Xiaoxiu wondered where her relatives came from, and why they didn't see each other on weekdays.But seeing the dazed look of the good woman, she didn't ask.After a long time, the good woman let out a long sigh and walked back to the house.

Xiaoxiu also followed the good woman into the house, saw the good woman rummaging through the cabinet, stepped forward and said: "Good woman, what are you looking for, Xiaoxiu will help you find it." The good woman nodded: "Help me Find two plain clothes, I'll go and see my old sister." After hearing this, Xiaoxiu obediently found some plain clothes and black trousers for the good woman.The good woman found another package and wrapped her clothes and trousers in it.

Xiaoxiu saw that the good woman was in a good mood, so she asked: "Good woman, who was it just now? Why did you hug you and cry as soon as you came in, and you wanted to hug me? It really scared me." The good woman shook her head. Shaking his head: "Don't be afraid, this is our habit here. Zhenxiang's mother is gone. As a filial son, he has to go to the door to inform relatives and friends. When he arrives at someone's door, he will kneel down and hug his feet. Even if Even seeing a three- or four-year-old doll also kneels."

"It looks like this." This is the first time Xiaoxiu has encountered this, and she has figured out one thing. "Well, good woman, when are you going? Is it far from our place?" Xiaoxiu was really worried about her health. She was also in her 70s, so she was really worried that she would come and go alone.It would be bad if the good woman was too sad.

"Notice, let's go now. It's not far away. It's in the brigade in front. It's only about ten miles away. You don't want to go. Xiaosu will have something hot when he comes back from get off work." Eat." The good woman changed her clothes and was about to leave with a small bag.It's just that Xiaoxiu doesn't feel at ease when she says anything.

"Good girl, take me there, I really don't feel at ease with you alone. Xiaosu is such a big man, she will definitely cook a meal, and he won't starve to death, good girl, just let me go with you For it!" Xiaoxiu also quickly changed into a plain dress.By the way, I also put some money in my pocket, and always prepare a white portion when I go to eat rice.He randomly found a piece of paper, wrote down the matter briefly, then closed the door and left with the good woman.

The good woman didn't talk much along the way, and Xiaoxiu didn't speak too. After walking for a long time, the sound of blowing the lock could be heard from a distance. The good woman stopped and said, "Xiaoxiu, what do you say?" Do I want to go? I haven’t been in contact for so many years, and the relationship is gone, should I go.” Xiaoxiu didn’t know why the good woman hadn’t seen them for many years, but she instinctively felt that the good woman was just A feeling of being close to home.If you can't talk to the good woman now, if the good woman really refuses to listen, then the good woman will regret it until she grows old in the future.

"Good girl, I've already invited you to the door. Regardless of what happened before, this time I've reached the point of courtesy. If we don't go, it's our fault. Besides, we've already arrived at the door. It's not good if we don't get in." Xiaoxiu Carefully persuade the good woman, and also help the good woman to move forward.It's just that this time the good woman didn't go well.Xiaoxiu also let the good woman help her to walk forward slowly.

When the craftsman in charge saw the arrival of the guest, he blew the lock to notify the host that there was a guest.That kind of sharp lock sound hurt people's heart.The good woman's tears fell all at once, she shook off Xiaoxiu's holding hand, and the good woman staggered all the way to the mourning hall. "My sister, why did you go so early? I was wrong in the past and didn't come to see you, but now my sister is here to see you, why don't you open your eyes and look at me."

The good woman was crying hoarsely, Xiaoxiu rushed up to help the good woman, but she couldn't help her no matter what, so she had to wrap her hands under the armpits of the good woman and drag her away. "Good woman, don't cry, don't cry..." The juniors kneeling in the mourning hall saw that good woman was crying so hard, and they also started to cry. "My mother, why don't you get up and take a look, usually you like to have people come to see you..."

Under everyone's persuasion, the good woman barely stopped her tears, stood silently in front of the memorial tablet, and lit three sticks of incense as an offering.The juniors kneeling on both sides handed over the white belt, and Xiaoxiu also helped the good woman tie it around her waist.Xiaoxiu wanted to help her to sit outside, but she didn't want to, so she insisted on sitting on the side of the mourning hall, but the weather in February is not very warm, so sitting on the straw pile is still unbearable .

Although Xiaoxiu really wanted to know the story of the good woman, but now she knew it was not the time to ask, so she had to concentrate on serving the good woman.This time the coercion stopped for three days, and the good woman didn't come back for three days, and so did Xiaoxiu.The good woman sat in the mourning hall for three days.Zhenxiang came to persuade her several times, asking her to go to her room to rest, but she was not willing at all, she was too anxious to speak, so she cried: "Zhenxiang, let your aunt stay with your mother again, after so many years It’s the first time I’ve met her. Does she have nothing to tell me?” Seeing this, Zhenxiang stopped trying to persuade her, and just took more straws and placed them around the good woman.

On the fourth day of the funeral, the good woman did not go to the crematorium, because the custom here is that the elders are not allowed to go to the crematorium, and the younger generation is selective.The good woman is already in her 70s, so she was not arranged to go.When the people left, the house was empty, and those who stayed to help were busy dismantling the mourning hall and cooking for those who would come to attend the funeral.The good woman just stood there in a daze and watched everyone busy.

In the evening, Xiaoxiu went home with the good woman. After helping the good woman to wash up, the good woman fell asleep, almost falling asleep with her eyes closed.At night, Xiaoxiu woke up worried and watched it several times, and the good woman slept soundly.The next morning, the good woman got up early, but Xiaoxiu was a bit sleepy because she woke up several times a night, and she didn't wake up until after seven o'clock.

Xiaoxiu got up, and the good woman said to her: "Xiu, give me a grandson early. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a grandson when I'm old. Look at her, she's fine during the day, but at night she falls and falls. No more. So you have to give me a grandson quickly." Xiaoxiu understood that the good woman was talking about Zhenxiang's mother.If you understand it, you understand it, but is such a thing possible?Besides, Xiaosu and her are still innocent.

"My good woman, don't think too much, you will definitely have a great-grandson." Xiaoxiu still comforted her.When Xiao Su came back in the evening, Xiao Xiu told him about the matter, and Xiao Su was very happy.

"Why don't we try it out today?" Xiao Su always wanted to hug Xiao Xiu, but Xiao Xiu was not very willing.Although it is said that in the previous generation, there were many mothers at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but Xiaoxiu knew that the body at this age had not yet developed well, so how could she be a mother of a child?

Xiao Xiu rolled her eyes at Xiao Su: "I'm asking you to help me talk to my good woman more often to relax my mind. It's not good for a good woman to think too much when she's old." Xiao Su listened and nodded.

"Understood, but, you really don't want to try it now?" In the end, Xiaoxiu took a picture of it.

When Xiao Su's ear was cured, Xiao Su wrote a letter to his former comrades in arms. Although he didn't say much in the letter, the joy was self-evident.After the letter was sent, Xiao Su kept counting the date and waiting for a reply, but Xiao Su waited for a long time before receiving the reply.Xiao Su was not happy when she received the reply, because there was one thing in the letter.

One of Xiaosu's former comrades-in-arms went to the front line. The comrade-in-arms was an orphan. When he went to the front line, his wife was already eight months pregnant. He thought he would take a few days off to go back and see his wife and children.But just before he asked for leave, the troops went to the battlefield. After a battle, his comrades died.The news was sent back to his hometown that his wife couldn't stand the stimulation and had a dystocia, so she left the newborn child and went too.So this newborn child also became an orphan, and has been eating a lot of food since birth.The child is very cute, but no one wants it all the time.

This news was received by the comrade-in-arms before Xiaosu's letter, so the comrade-in-arms also mentioned it in the reply when he replied.It's just pity that this child lost his parents when he was born, but Xiaoxiu has started thinking about this child!He kept urging Xiao Su to write another letter, asking about the child's specific situation.Because Xiaoxiu wanted to find a sustenance for the good woman, because after attending that funeral, the good woman's spirit has not been very good!
