Chapter 167
Wang's brows were frowned, and she didn't answer immediately, what the daughter said was reasonable, who is to blame for him being in such a mess now?If he is a person who likes to farm and live a down-to-earth life, and does not talk about anything else in his own house, he will still help with small favors without saying a word.But now, she had to think about it, if the money was given to him, could he use it on the right path?

After all these years, she has grown old, and the vigor of her youth has long faded in the polishing of the years. As she gets older, she becomes more emotional. Seeing Tie Fu's downcast appearance in the old house today, think about it earlier When she was young, she had just married into the Chen family, and Tie Fu was just a young boy with a stunned head, and there were times when the whole family was together, enjoying themselves.Even though he failed Hongyu and the children, Hongyu still missed him so much before she died.Recalling the past, Wang felt a little bit sad.Whether Hongyu hates him or not is unknown, but he is Liangdong's biological father, which cannot be erased.

After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea in his mind, so he sent the children out, saying that they would discuss this matter with their father later in the evening.

When Baozhu saw her mother, she didn't give an accurate word, so she went to the yard to call her father when she went out, and babbled to Chen Tiegui what she had just said to Wang Shi, saying that the money in the house was hard earned. Yes, I would rather give food and drink to my grandparents than give a penny to the gambler. Besides, giving money to my second uncle is actually hurting him. If he can't quit gambling, he will just lose if he has too much money. Faster, if he has no money and is hungry, he can think more about how to survive.

Chen Tiegui frowned and listened carefully to what the girl said, and after a while he replied irritably, "Okay, girl's family, don't worry about so many things." Glancing at the sun, he said in a muffled voice: "Father will be hungry now, Let's have an earlier dinner tonight."

Baozhu pursed her lips, secretly made a face at her father, turned around and went to work in the kitchen, thinking in her heart, trying to persuade her again during dinner.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the dinner was served, Chen Erniu entered the room. Knowing that his father-in-law came for Tie Fu, Mrs. Wang hurriedly called Runsheng to add a chair and asked him to sit down, "Dad, sit down and have a meal first." , we can discuss after dinner first.”

The meal was boring, the couple of the Chen family were silent, and the younger ones didn't dare to say anything. Chen Erniu looked a little anxious, but he sat down patiently, drank half a bowl of porridge, and ate a meal. A cabbage pancake put down his chopsticks, hesitant to speak.

Baozhu finally made it to the end of the meal, but Mrs. Wang sent them back to the house and called Chen Erniu into the main room to talk.

As soon as Chen Erniu sat on the chair, he couldn't wait to say: "Xiu'er, this time, you should come to the room and think of something."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Now the third daughter is going to get married, and the second marriage is not far away. Liangdong's son has lost his mother. From now on, he will have to make arrangements for his marriage. It's easy for Dad to say, but where is the house?" Can you come up with that much money at once?"

Chen Erniu remained silent, and said for a long while: "I plan to let him go tomorrow. It's fine if your house sends some money. Your mother and I gave five guan, and Cui Fen took five guan..."

Chen Tiegui sighed and interrupted him, "We also have difficulties in the house. If there is trouble in changing to parents today, and no matter how nervous the house is, I will take the money and give him a gambler. unwilling."

"I really can't? It's okay to scrape together a few bucks. There are many people and strength is great. If something happened to Tiefu outside, the only ones who can help him are the people in our house." Thinking of something, Chen Erniu's breathing became a little short , "No matter what, he is still your younger brother. He has suffered a lot outside these years. One must not forget his roots!"

Wang quickly comforted him, "Father, don't be angry, I was still thinking this afternoon, if I don't give the money, I will replace it with some clothes and dry food, and he will save some trouble on the road. Come again, and prevent him from gambling."

Chen Erniu frowned and thought about it, and Wang said again: "There are a lot of salted eggs in the house, I'll bring some tomorrow, and make more dry food tonight and bring them with me. There are also some new clothes in the house. That's enough. He's been out there for the last month or so."

Chen Tiegui also answered, "Isn't money not willing to give, look at his virtue, so that people can give it at ease? That every penny is sweat money, tell him to gamble? Tiefu is just us two brothers and sisters, outside If something happens, who will feel at ease? Not to mention anything else, if he can really live in peace in the future, his sister-in-law and I can rest assured to support him with some money. Now it is writing dry food pancakes!"

Chen Erniu sighed and stood up, "Succeed, Dad understands what you said, as long as you have this intention, after this time, he should be able to repent in the future, and he will live a better life in the future. The two of you are indispensable." Please help me more."

Mrs. Wang sent him out with a smile, "Of course, don't worry, father, if you really live a good life, stay away for two years and come back to the village, can my brother and I ignore him?"

When Chen Erniu left, Wang called Baozhu into the kitchen kang to get some dry food and pancakes. Knowing that her daughter was worried all day, she told her what she had just discussed.

Baozhu thought that her parents must be soft-hearted this time, and grandpa persuaded her to give Qian'er, but she didn't expect that they were all sensible people. She was very satisfied with the result, so she smiled and arched Wang's shoulders, "Mother Well done, that's how it should be, grandpa and grandma are so old, how long can they protect second uncle? Second uncle has to work hard on his own!"

Wang stared at Baozhu for a while, and said comfortingly: "Mother, why did you give birth to such a smart child? A good child is most considerate of the people in the house. Mother sees that your two elder brothers are not as good as you."

Baozhu raised her face and looked at Wang Shi, "Mother, don't praise me, in fact, I also feel uncomfortable. After all, Second Uncle is Brother Liangdong's biological father. After he left, I don't know if he will come back or not?"

Mrs. Wang also sighed, "He has today, so he can't blame others. The most pitiful ones are your brother Liangdong and sister Xiujuan. Treat your brother better in the future." When he said this, he laughed when he thought of something, "Treat you Three years have passed since Second Aunt, and Mother wants to ask a matchmaker to tell Brother Liang Dong that he is also a relative."

Baozhu giggled and looked at Wang Shi, "Mother doesn't know? Someone has taken Brother Liang Dong as his sweetheart!"

Mrs. Wang cast a sideways glance at Baozhu, "Brother Liang Dong has a serious personality, where did you meet a girl? You guys are talking nonsense in private."

Baozhu blinked, and said with a half-smile: "Who says you can't know each other? Mother, go ask Sister Zhaodi and you'll know?"

Wang's eyes lit up, she glanced at Baozhu, and said half-believingly, "You kid, are you making fun of your cousin again?"

Baozhu pouted, "Sister Zhaodi is thoughtful, Brother Liangdong probably has it too, mother doesn't believe it, go ask my cousin!"

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "If this is true, it will ease my mother's heart. Your brother Liang Dong has followed his mother's temper. He has a gentle temper, is kind and honest. What is your mother worried about? A girl is just what she wants!"

Baozhu smiled and said: "Mother is really biased. When the eldest brother and the second brother talked about kissing, mother was never so picky!"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "I grew up under my mother's eyes, so I can be regarded as my mother's half-baby. He lost his mother. If he is not a good aunt, who should worry about him? The eyes of your grandparents Mother can't look down on it."

Early the next morning, Chen Tiegui sent dry food and eggs to the old home, and when he came back, the corners of his eyes were a little red. Mrs. Wang saw that something was wrong, so she asked him privately, but he refused to say anything, and Mrs. Wang was so angry that she refused to go. care about him.

Because she was leaving today, Baozhu was reluctant to part with Mrs. Wang, so she went back to the house after breakfast to talk to Mrs. Wang. At noon, Mrs. Wang urged them to pack up and prepare to go back to the county.

Every time he went back to the house, Liang Dong would go to Zhang Hongyu's grave to burn paper before leaving, and this time was no exception. Mrs. Wang saw how many children had arrived, so she called Liang Dong to stop, packed up the incense sticks, paper money, and Zhang Luo Several children went together once today, Mrs. Wang was close, and went once every now and then, this time I didn't go with them, I just told them to be careful on the road, go early and return early.

Because of going to the grave, everyone unanimously put aside their usual casualness, did not laugh or fight, and had a solemn and serious face, and hurried all the way to the grave quietly.The Chen family's cemetery is on a hill not far from the village, and they walked up the hill in about half an hour.

In winter, there were few shrubs on the hill, and there were only some bare branches along the way. Liang Dong walked ahead, reaching out his hands from time to time to fiddle with the dry branches in front of him, not forgetting to turn his head and tell Baozhu and Xiujuan to pay attention to their feet.

While talking, his footsteps stopped suddenly, his back straightened suddenly, Baozhu and the others looked forward along his line of sight, there was a lonely person kneeling on a half-new grave in the distance, and there was a man lying on the ground beside him. Saluting with big bags, he knelt on the open space of the grave with his back facing everyone, his back was thin and thin, he was talking softly while swaying paper money, and the sound of intermittent sobbing was still heard clearly after a long distance In the ears of several people.

Runze was also stunned, "Who is that person in front?"

Liang Dong turned around and smiled at them, "It's my father..." After a long while, he said again: "I don't want to see him right now, let's wait for a while and go after he has worshiped."

Baozhu vaguely heard the indistinct voices of "Qianshi", "repent", "becoming a monk", etc. She was startled for a moment, and she turned her head to try to hear what he said, but the voice was blown by the north wind in winter. More and more blurred into pieces...

After a while, he got up, raised his sleeves and wiped it, turned around, packed a few big bags to salute, and walked staggeringly along the path in front of the mountain step by step, his thin back showed a feeling of saying no Liangdong gritted his teeth, rushed forward suddenly, and stood in front of the grave and shouted at the figure behind him: "If you repent, mother will feel at ease next to you. You don't care about others, just for the sake of you." Mother, do it yourself!"

A vague figure froze in the shadow of the dry tree ahead, and after a while, a voice came with a hoarse voice, "Five taels of silver are still on top of the kang, brat, I don't care for you! Take care in the future! Marry a wife and have a baby, take care of yourself!" of……"

This little episode really made everyone feel uneasy for a long time, especially when Baozhu heard the word "monk monk" in a blur, they felt extremely emotional.

People always live in the present, there is no medicine for regret in this world, the second uncle wakes up too late, the second aunt is gone, no matter what, I can never go back to the past.

The past has become a cloud of smoke, and no matter how much you pursue it, it will not help. If the second uncle can really wake up completely, it will be a blessing in misfortune. I hope that the second aunt will know and feel a little relieved.

(Tie Fu's ending was not tragic. He wanted to abuse Liang Dong, but he still felt sorry for Liang Dong, and felt that he had lost his mother, and more cruel things should not happen to him again.)
