153 Father and Mother

Even if the current scene is desolate and no longer popular, some procedures for seeing off the elderly are still being executed step by step.

Several busy people raised the sheets under the old lady, wrapped the old lady's body and carried it in a coffin.

The coffin is made of logs and has no paint, and you can see several black insect eyes.

It should have been prepared by the old lady during her lifetime. It was almost as good as this broken house. It was very old.

The coffin is not of high quality, but maybe it was the old lady who took out all the savings in the second half of her life before buying such a wooden coffin.

The old man is like this, he prepares early and can leave more decently until the day he dies.

As the coffin lid was gently covered with white filial piety, he suddenly lay down at the coffin, crying loudly, just like the crying of his elder sister Yang Yulan in the morning.

Sister, just think that your crying is seeing off the old lady.

From the back, it must be his brother-in-law Wang Yonggui, and there was a man next to him, lying on the ground and crying bitterly, just like his brother-in-law.

Zhang Guoquan heard Bai Ge mention that there was an elder brother above his brother-in-law. He sent his brother-in-law away and was so upside down that his brother had the money to get married.

The man next to his brother-in-law must be his elder brother.

After almost crying, several busy men helped the two brothers up and asked them to kneel on both sides, waiting for someone to come to mourn the old lady, and they would kowtow and bow.

But no one came to pay tribute. It was a group of three or three, and it could be seen that the family of my brother-in-law's family was not prosperous.

The old lady was afraid that both sons would be bachelor, so the family, which was not prosperous, would be broken, so she sold her second son Wang Yonggui, which would be better than both sons to be bachelor.

Such a sad and bleak scene is not like an old man who died at home. Compared with the grand scene where Yang Lei's death, how could the word "miserable" be so.

It was almost done, and there was no one to come back after the mourning group in groups of three or three, so Old Monster Yang walked in.

After entering a simple cloth curtain, Old Monster Yang hunched over and bowed to the coffin.

My brother-in-law's elder brother went to repay the gift, but my brother-in-law Wang Yonggui also went to repay the gift, but was stopped by Old Monster Yang.

When his brother-in-law looked up and looked, he realized that the person who came to mourn his dead mother was his father-in-law.

At first he was surprised, but then quickly turned into panic. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Old Monster Yang pressed his arm: "The dead are the most important thing. The old lady's funeral is the most important thing now. You can rest assured here to keep the old lady here, and you will talk about other things when you go back."

Old Monster Yang said this, but Wang Yonggui knew what consequences he would face after returning, and he knew the temper of his father-in-law.

It was not until he saw Zhang Guoquan bow to the old lady that he did not expect Zhang Guoquan to come with him, which made him feel a little relieved.

Zhang Guoquan walked over and comforted his brother-in-law, asking him not to worry about the situation at home and to send the old lady a good trip.

Why did Wang Yonggui leave suddenly and why didn’t he say this? From the moment, it’s so easy to understand.

He was worried that it would be useless if he said it. His father-in-law probably disagreed. He didn't let him go back when Zhang Guoquan's father was injured last time. This is enough to prove that it is useless to say it.

So, he decided not to say anything, go home and send the old lady away for the last journey. As for what happened next, he is not going to think about it now.

Wang Yonggui's decision to adopt this extreme method reflects his cowardice.

He dared not talk to his father-in-law step by step like Zhang Guoquan, and he hated that he could not do it.

If it weren't for Zhang Guoquan's influence, he wouldn't even have the courage to come back and see off his dead mother, he envied Zhang Guoquan, and he admired Zhang Guoquan even more.

When he left his brother-in-law's house, Old Monster Yang threw some money to his brother-in-law and asked him to send the old lady away in a glorious manner.

My brother-in-law was at a loss when he took the money, and he was not used to it.

I wanted to refuse and said that I would not pay it back in the future. It is already great for the old lady to do this now and there is no need to spend money anymore.

Old Monster Yang left without looking back, leaving Wang Yonggui standing there in a daze.

On the way back, I still had nothing to say.

When we were almost at the entrance of the village, there were two small forks, one towards the two big poplar trees, and the other towards the east end of the village.

Old Monster Yang stopped at the fork in the road, but did not turn around. The sound of vicissitudes came from the front.

"If you come back, you can share some crops for you. With the harvest, it will be considered as the two of you and Eryatou."

Zhang Guoquan stood behind, staring at his back and said, "No, Bai Ge and I will get better every day."

After saying that, Zhang Guoquan walked towards the fork road leading to the east end of the village.

Old Monster Yang was still standing at the fork in the road, staring at two completely different forks, with his eyes cloudy. How much he hoped that Zhang Guoquan would choose another fork in the road.

Back at the yard at the east end of the village, Zhang Guoquan told Bai Ge about his brother-in-law.

Bai Ge was a little surprised and said, "No matter whether it is a misunderstanding or not, I hope that our father will be better to his brother-in-law after this incident."

Although a person like his brother-in-law is honest, whoever gives him some benefits will repay him without reservation.

Autumn is still the same autumn, but it has become stronger.

The leaves hanging on the tops of the poplar forest became scattered, and they were no longer as covered in the sky as summer, and they could not see the sky.

Now, except for some leaves that are reluctant to leave the mother's body, most of them fall on the ground with the autumn wind, drying and becoming brittle, being stepped on by adults, ravaged by children's hands, becoming shattered and soft. A rain fell, mixed with sludge, merged together, and turned into soil, continuing to provide nutrition to the mother's body.

When you look up, through the sparse treetops, you will find that the sky has increased and has become higher, and it has a tragic and desolate feeling.

What is more tragic than this is the machine that mines river sand. I don’t know whether it is the technician or why.

From the machine failure that occurred once every two days or once a day, to the machine failure that occurred twice, three or four times a day, until today, the machine has broken more than a dozen times a day.

The frequency of this failure is too high, and there is no way to work normally.

The technician looked around the machine and then looked around, lying up and then drilling under the machine. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He only let the machine run for a few minutes, and then he fell back into the cycle of finding faults for the machine and solving the faults.

Zhang Guoquan was also anxious and asked the technician how he was doing and could he still work today?

The technician has no intention of chatting, he only answers, but he can't say it well, so I'll take a look.

From summer to late autumn, the sand on this river beach has been mined less than one-twentieth, and this speed is simply snail's speed.

Not much river sand is mined, but Dajinya takes away a lot of subsidy money.

Yang Lei roughly calculated that the subsidy money taken away by Dajinya could almost be used to power the village.

If I had known this, it would have been better than the above to allocate funds to the village to power the money, which would have saved so much trouble.

But the superiors don’t think so. There is a reason why they can give him subsidies. That is what the superiors strive for in the name of rectifying river sand.

The river sand has been renovated and the exposed wasteland has been reclaimed for the people. At the same time, the wasteland policy has been implemented. On this basis, the natural environment has been beautified and the benefits brought can be powered to the village.

This is not as simple as simply passing through these processes and directly energizing the village. After this whole process, it is a real political achievement, and every link cannot be passed through.

So Dajinya asked Yang Lei for subsidies, and Yang Lei asked the superiors to ask for subsidies, and the superiors would try their best to give them.

It’s really a lot since I’ve been there so many times, and I don’t know if the river sand can be sold for subsidized money.

Anyway, Da Jinya promised to get the subsidy and he didn't want any money for selling river sand. He injected it into the village collective, just to serve the people.

Zhang Guoquan did not feel happy about how Dajinya had this kind of awareness, but became even more worried.

Big Gold Teeth is a businessman, what is that? You can’t get up early without profit.

When he talked to Yang Lei this way, Yang Lei also felt something was wrong, but Da Jinya said that the subsidy money was a lot, so he thought it was the sharing of the benefits after selling the river sand, so he got the money in advance and enjoyed it in advance. Then the benefits of the river sand should be borne by the village collective.

Da Jinya said that he was righteous and had an image of me doing good deeds for the people.

As the number of machine failures increases, Zhang Guoquan becomes more and more uneasy.
