Mr. Zhao’s front yard

"Fourth Master, please take good care of me from now on."

"You're welcome, gentlemen, come and introduce to you my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao Sun."

A pretty young woman stood next to Mr. Zhao with a child under one year old in her arms, and gave her a gentle blessing.

"Hello, sir."

He held his hand to her and said, "Hello."

"My son doesn't live at home at all on weekdays. You may have seen that he has no money. My wife has been gone for many years. There are only a few people in my family. Just leave the clothes you want to wash at the door. My daughter-in-law

I'll wash it and leave it at your door. If you want something to eat, just tell me."

"You're welcome. Look, I'll put the things away first and we can talk later?"

"Hey, look at me, come on, come on, I'll help you."

Fourth Master helped me make the bed and quickly brought in the clothes hangers at the door:

"Look, this ancestor's thing is made of such good materials."

"Dongwen asked, who is your ancestor?"

"Red belt, Mr. Jueluo. In my old age, I can exchange this belt for 30 taels of silver. After the Qing Dynasty, this belt will be just a belt."

"You can write and calculate, can't you find something to do?"

"Who wants to go hungry? But who wants to be a bannerman? Now that I think about it, the Qing Dynasty may not be good, but in the Republic of China I was almost starving."

Seeing that he was sad, I looked at the birdcage he hung on the verandah and asked, "What do you raise?"

"Yellow Bird, how do you see the whistle?" Open the cover

"Oh, that's really good."

"Look, look, how decent it is! As soon as I see it, I can't bear to die!"

"Don't talk about death. Damn it, one day you will have good luck! I'm going to get some wine. Let's drink some. Let's get drunk and solve all our worries."

The fourth master nodded: "I'll tell my daughter-in-law to cook a side dish to go with wine, and we can get drunk and relieve all our worries."

After drinking with the fourth master for half the night, Mrs. Zhao Sun came to see if she wanted to add another dish. The fourth master talked a lot without any specific content, and he was talking in circles.

In the end, Zhao Sun and I moved him back to the house together. We originally planned to go to the bathhouse today. It was too cold at night a few days ago, so I just wiped myself down this month. This is an experience I have never had as a southerner.

, it all started to smell, but it’s too late now, it’s already curfew, so I’d better stay at home.

The next day, I came over to meet Mrs. Zhao Sun, ate the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Zhao, and asked the Fourth Master if he had gotten up. Mrs. Zhao Sun said that the Fourth Master didn’t get up until almost noon every day. He went to the warehouse and met with Qiu Sun.

The eldest brother met and went about his own business. Now that I have fully mastered it, eldest brother Qiu left most of the work to me, while he spent most of his time drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office.

The days passed uneventfully.

One day when I came back from work, I saw a white sail hanging at the door. I was shocked, who was gone? After crossing the courtyard gate and entering the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao Sun and her children were kneeling beside the coffin. Mr. Zhao was busy in front of it.

Finally, the memorial tablet has not been placed yet. Whoever is leaving, no matter who is the first to put the incense stick first.

Mrs. Zhao Sun bowed to the child in return.

"Please grief!"

Zhao Sun nodded and knelt there without knowing what to think.

I walked up to Mr. Zhao and said, "If I can help you in any way, just ask me."

"Thank you. I just brought you back. All my relatives and friends are on the way, but I will disturb you for the next few days."

I nodded and said: "What you said, but do you know what is going on?"

"Well, not long ago, my stupid son was sent as an envoy to join the citizen petition group of the five ethnic groups. Starting from 12 o'clock, he surrounded the House of Representatives with everyone, and gave Da Yang 5 cents every hour, and paid him immediately when he left. He also said,

The list has been compiled and reported to the Prime Minister. This morning, they waved small flags and distributed leaflets. In the evening, someone threw a stone and killed a foreigner. The police immediately arrested him, and they dispersed in a hurry. Unfortunately, it was unfortunate.

Yes, my stupid son fell down for some reason, and there are thousands of people!" As he spoke, Mr. Zhao's tears fell down like broken beads, and the beads were almost connected to each other.

Already.

I quickly helped him sit aside.

"But they all stepped on him, and it was just a pile of flesh. The messenger said, said, said, if it weren't for the belt around his waist, he wouldn't have been recognized at all. I went to collect the body, and it was just a pile of flesh.

, I can’t even pick it up, I still spent two oceans to hire someone to put it away, and now he is completely tied up by clothes!”

"My son ah ah ah."

Patting him on the back, he waited until he felt better and asked, "Hey, does the person who sent the mission have anything to say?"

Mr. Zhao wiped his tears and said: "When we were collecting the body, someone gave us four dollars and two cents at public expense. They also said that the matter was so bad that the Prime Minister refused to admit it. I was afraid that the murderer would be dealt with severely and he told me to close the door."

If you don’t come out, you are not allowed to mention this matter again.”

“It’s gone”

"No, I know he went to the Citizen Petition Group. When the president was elected on October 6, 2012, there was a riot. President Yuan was elected, and he got paid and left in a hurry. This time, what happened this time?

"

I don’t know how to comfort this. A speck of dust in the era is like a mountain when it falls on ordinary people. People with white hair give it to people with black hair, and they die so miserably. I took out 5 silver dollars from my arms and stuffed them into

In the arms of Fourth Master Zhao.

"This is my gift."

"This is too much, too much"

"Take it, there are many things behind this. This is my heart, please take it."

"Oh, thank you. If you have any instructions in the future, please feel free to do so. If I, Zhao Mingyang, say anything, I will die badly."

"You are serious. You are here. I need you to greet me."

"Then I'm going to greet people. I've been bothering you sir for the past few days."

"It's okay, you can go say hello."

It seems that Fourth Master Zhao's hair has turned a lot whiter overnight and his back has become more stooped. Children are the darlings of their parents. Although they usually eat, drink, whore and gamble, Fourth Master Zhao seems to have not shed a single tear even after his son died.

, but when my son died, I still felt uncomfortable.

For several days, Mr. Zhao's relatives and friends came and went. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao lost a lot of weight, and finally they were sent out of the city to be buried.

Later, Mr. Zhao seemed to be seriously ill. Although he was able to get out of bed, his appetite was greatly reduced and he was much older. He was still energetic when he saw his grandson. Mrs. Zhao Sun was the same as before. She took care of her father-in-law and took good care of her.

My son, I took over the laundry. There seemed to be no end to the clothes. I started washing them when I got up early, and I didn’t stop until there was almost no light.

I have only met Mr. Zhao Si's son once. He has a stout figure, sunken eye sockets, and his eyes are a little dull. I guess he smoked too much that night, and his reaction is slow. He couldn't react when the police drove him away, and his health was even worse.

Trampled to death.

I see Mrs. Zhao Sun busy and living a widowed life. Mr. Zhao is not in good health and doesn’t come out often. I have to find someone to take care of me. Otherwise, over time, I don’t know how others will arrange for Zhao and me to be together.

It belongs to the Sun family. But you have to talk to Fourth Master Zhao first.

"Fourth Master is basking in the sun. Are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to you, although it's not as good as it was a while ago, it's still a lot better than when I first started."

"Your health is important. Don't you still have a grandson? You want to see him get married."

"Lend me your good words"

"Today, I have something to tell you. Please listen first."

"You say"

"I think I have to find someone else to take care of me. Otherwise, if it takes a long time, I don't know how others will arrange for me and Mrs. Zhao Sun. I have rented all the five vacated rooms in your front yard, starting from next month

What do you think of adding 5 silver dollars to the monthly rent?”

"You are still thoughtful, I listen to you."

"Later, I'll find Brother Qiu to make a new appointment."
