As the old lady in black finished speaking, the temperature in the room warmed up, and the crystal chandelier above her head also lit up.
"Milk, she's gone."
I looked around and told my fourth uncle and grandma.
The fourth uncle and grandma nodded, looked at Director Lin who was huddled in the corner of the sofa, his face turned pale with fright, and was still shaking like chaff, and said: "Tomorrow is your mother's seventh day, right?"
"Hmm, aunt, um, isn't my mother gone? Why hasn't my wife woke up yet?"
"Did you hear everything just now?" Fourth uncle and grandma asked Director Lin without answering.
"Listen, I heard it, it's my mother's voice."
Director Lin suddenly burst into tears, "I'm sorry for my mother. I remember when my father died early and my brothers and sisters were young, my mother was afraid that I would suffer, so she had to do all the work by herself.
Don’t let me interfere”
"You can't kill her. It's all my own fault. If she can't get over it, just let her attack me. Lao Zhou is innocent."
"She is not innocent. A good wife and a good husband seldom cause trouble. She is the daughter-in-law of your Lin family. She did not fulfill her due filial piety. Your daughter-in-law cannot wake up today. Your mother has taken her soul away."
The fourth uncle and grandma then said in a deep voice: "Evil ghosts are not involved in seeking lives, but since I am in charge of this matter, I will take care of it to the end. She is only temporarily restrained by my daughter's blood pressure and cannot take away your wife's other souls.
, she will come again tomorrow, we have to find a way to send her away. Your mother is gone, so that your wife will be fine."
"Hmm, aunty, you said, as long as you can let my mother leave in peace, I will listen to you in everything. I am sorry for my mother!" Director Lin nodded, with tears and runny nose all over his face.
It's also hard for Director Lin. Normally, he would be frightened when he sees these things for the first time. It's rare that he still has a filial piety, but if he had known about this, why bother in the first place.
"It has to be her own tears, and they have to be tears of joy. Think about the first time she shed tears of joy in front of you before she was alive."
"Tears of joy? Does touching count?" Director Lin asked, wiping his face.
"Forget it, remember?" Fourth uncle and grandma nodded.
"let me see"
Director Lin held his head and tore his hair, with a look of regret and regret on his face.
My fourth uncle and grandma didn't speak anymore. I turned around and glanced at Zhou Mei lying on the sofa. The blood from my fingertips actually condensed into a crystal clear raised red dot on her forehead. It looked a bit like the one from the school canteen when I was a child.
That crystal cinnabar mole sticker.
I raised my middle finger and looked at it. I didn't know what my uncle and grandma had used to prick a gash about half the size of a grain of rice. It still hurt a little, but there was no bleeding anymore.
I never thought my blood could have such an effect.
"Auntie, I remember when it was."
After a few minutes, Director Lin finally spoke.
The fourth uncle and grandma looked at him and nodded, indicating for him to continue.
It turns out that when Factory Manager Lin’s father was still alive, Mrs. Lin liked to eat beef noodles. At that time, the family’s conditions were not bad. There was a state-owned restaurant not far from their home. Factory Manager Lin’s father would always buy beef noodles.
Come back and give it to Factory Director Lin’s mother to eat.
Unfortunately, Factory Manager Lin's father died of illness early, and Mrs. Lin took care of her five children alone. The conditions were very poor, so she never had beef noodles again.
Director Lin had good academic performance and often received notebooks as rewards from teachers. He was reluctant to use them and sold them all to other classmates. He kept saving until one day he saved two yuan, enough to buy a bowl of beef noodles.
Factory manager Lin went to buy a bowl and brought it back to Mrs. Lin to eat.
Old Mrs. Lin didn't know where Director Lin got the money to buy it, and she refused to eat it. Director Lin didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Old Mrs. Lin would blame him for not leaving the book for his younger siblings. In the end, Old Mrs. Lin beat Factory Lin.
After a long pause, Director Lin revealed that the money to buy beef noodles was obtained from selling books. Mrs. Lin cried when she heard this.
The fourth uncle and grandma did not speak for a long time. She probably did not understand how a child who was so filial to Director Lin at the beginning could live a good life in the end, but let his old mother die so miserably.
Factory Director Lin burst into tears when he said this, and finally said to himself: "Money is a good thing. It allows people to buy whatever they want effortlessly. But in the end, good things are used more."
It makes people forget what is the most precious thing."
"Is your old house still there?" Fourth uncle and grandma asked Factory Director Lin.
"It's still there. I asked someone to tidy it up. The furniture hasn't been lost. It's basically the same as it was when my mother was here." Director Lin said.
"Let's go back today. At six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, take me to your old house. In addition, you prepare a bowl of beef noodles, the kind your mother loved to eat when she was alive."
"Hey! Hey!" Director Lin nodded quickly and said, "Auntie, why don't you and the girl rest here with me today? Look at my wife, what if?"
"Your wife will be fine today, and your mother won't be here again today. She just came to the county to see her parents today, so it's best to go back," said the fourth uncle's grandma.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go get the key to Director Chen's apartment. Li Jianguo Elementary School, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here today if you go back like this."
Director Lin listened to the words of my fourth uncle and grandma and did not force us to stay. He went upstairs to get a set of keys and sent my fourth uncle and grandma and me back to my parents' place.
My parents lived in a two-story tube building. The stairs to the second floor were built on the outside of the building. It looked like a small turret, but it was elongated instead of round.
After going up the stairs, you will find the entrance to the second floor of Tongzi Building. From the street lights outside, you can see two rows of opposite doors. The distance between them is not large. The corridor is very crowded. There are gas stoves and other stoves between the two doors.
Just small kitchens.
Director Lin took my fourth uncle and grandma and me to the fourth door on the left, stopped there, and knocked on the door.
"Uncle Lin." It was Zong Bao who opened the door. After calling people, he turned back and shouted into the room: "Dad, Mom, Uncle Lin is here with that country bumpkin and her grandma."
Director Lin frowned.
My dad came out and met Factory Director Lin with another flattering smile. Director Lin didn’t even enter the house. He handed the key to my dad at the door and said he would pick me up and my fourth uncle and grandma tomorrow afternoon and then left.
.
You could tell that my dad was very happy. This time, even my mom saw the set of keys in my dad’s hand and didn’t say anything to my fourth uncle and grandma. She turned around and went into the back room.
"Fourth Aunt, you and Ling'er will live here from now on. There are many rooms over there. Zongbao is getting older and should have his own independent room, so I took his mother and Zongbao to live there.
"My dad said happily to my fourth uncle and grandma, as if he had won a big prize.
The fourth uncle and grandma nodded and said, "It would be great if my daughter can live here!"
I looked up and saw that there were only two rooms in total. There was a steel wire bed against the wall in the outer room. Next to the bed was a square dining table. There was also a small cupboard against the wall at the door. Next to the cupboard was a writing desk with schoolbags and
Several books, probably used by Zong Bao.
Zong Bao stood by the desk and looked at me, his eyes full of curiosity, "Hey, country bumpkin, can you really see ghosts? What do ghosts look like?" This chapter has been completed!
