Back to girlhood years

People who grew up in the city can't understand Ye Fei's feelings at this time. In the weather of more than 30 degrees, her head is tied with a "hair band" made of white cloth. Forgive Ye Fei for not knowing how to call it. Its prototype is a rectangular white cloth, which has been folded several times by her mother into a strip, and then tied to Yefei's head. The cloth is said to be pure cotton coarse cloth, which is very breathable, but it has been folded so many times, and the thickness makes Yefei sweat, and her hair is wet.

Rural funerals need to be lively and ostentatious. The family will inform all the relatives. Seven aunts and eight aunts, as well as eight old relatives who can't get involved in their lives, will also come from all directions these days. When ye Fei's mother points to a woman with delicate makeup and says that this is your aunt's second daughter-in-law's sister-in-law, ye Fei is stunned and asks in a low voice: "so, What should I call her.

"Just call aunt.".

So ye Fei followed her mother to call "aunts", "aunts" and "aunts". Everyone looked at her kindly, "Yo, this is the girl of Changhe family. She's so big. I remember holding her in my arms the last time I saw her.".

Ye Fei's mother laughs, ye Fei also laughs, no wonder she doesn't recognize me, I don't remember when I was held in my arms.

When a group of relatives meet, in addition to greetings, they flatter each other, and then show off without any trace. Ye Fei's mother belongs to the kind who doesn't show any trace. When she talks, she casually talks about ye Changhe's business and the houses in the city, and then when others admire her, she puts on a modest look, saying "where there is, where there is", but she smiles and bends her eyes.

There is also the kind of desire to put all the belongings on your body, such as gold rings, jade bracelets and diamond necklaces, which blinds you every minute. When you speak, there is always a kind of spirit of "scorning the sky and ignoring the earth". When you talk about cars, people say who drives cars now. Rich people drive cross-country, and they can do everything from mountain to sea; When you talk about children, they say that it's no use going to school. It's better to be a girl or her son to be a soldier. After you change your job, you can find someone to eat at home

Ye Fei's mother knew that this sentence was meant for her. Now her face was very blue. She took Ye Fei and left the middle-aged women in Naqun. Behind her, there was a loud voice: "no matter how rich Changhe is, what's the use of having no son to inherit the family business? For example, we have a son, which is better than her family girl.".

This is also the reason why Ye Fei doesn't like to go back to her hometown. When she was very young, some people asked "when will your mother give you a younger brother?" later when she grew up, those people would always say "it's a pity that there is no son" when praising her father. Her grandparents and father would look at Ye Fei with a very complicated look, It seems Ye Fei's fault that he has no son.

When the time came, ye Fei followed the women in the same costume to stand in front of the spirit shed and began to kneel down. The master of ceremonies is an old man, but his words are sonorous and forceful, with a long ending, "kneel ~", "one kowtow, then kowtow, three kowtow ~", ye Fei stands at the back of the team, clumsily learning from others. Every time she shouts to kneel, it's the most painful time for her. There's a big plastic cloth on the ground, and she can't see the original color. At her mother's strong request, she wears a white lace dress today. Every time she kneels, she can only lift the skirt high, and it's inevitable that the skirt will be soiled.

This kind of ceremony does not end at one time. Every time relatives come, they have to go to the intersection to greet them. In addition to kneeling, they have to show their deep grief. Several women cry and shout. Yefei swallows saliva, lowers her head and covers her forehead with her hands. She can't cry anyway.

Until noon, ye Fei's work today was over. She took off the white cloth and sat down beside Yu Huilan. Yu Huilan quickly took a paper towel to wipe her sweat. She said painfully, "be content, thanks to your late holiday, otherwise you would have come yesterday, and your father. I haven't seen anyone this morning. You don't know how busy it is to do a funeral.".

"Mom, I'm hungry. When can I eat?" This is the first time that ye Fei has asked for food since she lost weight. This morning, she has too much physical exertion and the weather is hot. She feels that if she doesn't eat, she will probably faint again.

"Wait a little longer. I have to let my relatives eat first. Stay here. I think there's a vacancy for you," said Yu Huilan. She got up and dived into the crowd. There were a group of people who were staring at the diners, waiting for them to occupy the seats together. This is the so-called "flowing water mat".

Ye Fei was pulled by her mother and finally squeezed into the dining table. The oily table was covered with a pink plastic film. Ye Fei hesitated and put her arm on it. Then the dishes were served. The cold dishes were all prepared in advance. In a short time, five or six dishes were served. The dishes were quite good, including beef, duck and fresh vegetables. Yefei picked up the low calorie celery and walnut kernels and ate them with relish.

Eating can't stop everyone's mouth. It's hot in the simple greenhouse. Women's sharp voice, children's crying, and men's loud voice. Yefei's mother sits straight and looks at the people who are gobbling around her with disdain.

A woman found her mother's strange, picked up a huge elbow and put it in front of her, "Huilan, eat more, don't mention it.".

"Either it's polite, or it's too hot to eat. Besides, it's not good for our health to eat such greasy food. We generally don't eat it in the city." every time we go back to the countryside, Yu Huilan always feels superior. She's really a rural person. Now who wants meat.

"Oh, really? My daughter likes to eat elbows best, and she also says that there is collagen in her skin, and she has taken beauty food." the other side says that she has another piece for the girl sitting beside her. "Besides, we have good physique, so we can't eat fat. Moreover, my daughter is smart, and she won't come back to the top ten of the class without going back to the exam.

Speaking of children, a few other women at the same table also opened the conversation, "how tall are you Minmin now?"

"Sophomore year, this is not a summer vacation on the third year, their school management is strict, take a holiday only let ten days off to make up.".

"In such a hurry? Today's children are really not easy. You Minmin have been striving since childhood. Maybe you can go to Tsinghua and Peking University.

Other people's compliments made a woman smile. Yefei's mother couldn't listen to them any more. She snorted: "Tsinghua University is so easy to take the exam, not to mention the top ten in the class. Even if you are the first in age, you won't be able to take the exam. Our County has only got a few in recent years.".

"We didn't say that we had to take the Tsinghua university entrance examination. We would be satisfied if we could get a book. Huilan and Yefei are one year younger than Minmin and should be a sophomore. I don't know how to study. You Changhe are working so hard to earn money. I don't know if his daughter is as proud as him." several women stare at Yefei's mother like a joke.

Of course, ye Fei's achievements are not competitive. Yu Huilan is dumb and unwilling to admit defeat. With a sneer, she answers mysteriously, "there are still two years left. What's the hurry!"

There was a burst of sneer around. Ye Fei rubbed the rough disposable chopsticks and turned her eyes. She was despised everywhere. Her mother was right. There were two years left. What's your hurry.
