I followed the yellow paper crane all the way, but within a distance of more than 20 meters, the little paper crane spun a few times in mid-air. Suddenly, it spontaneously ignited without fire, and the paper ash slowly fell to the ground.
"This is it. Let's dig out your mother's bones. Be careful not to hurt him!" Xiao Han said and handed me a small shovel.
I gently placed the red cloth bag in my hand on the ground and took the small shovel.
This area is relatively flat, and the soil is not very hard. Fortunately, except for two rose trees and weeds, there are no shrubs growing.
Xiao Han and I dug carefully for about 20 minutes, revealing a small fragment of a bamboo mat that was not yet complete.
Seeing this, Xiao Han dropped the shovel in his hand and carefully pulled away the soil with his hands.
When I saw the mat, I realized that because they were afraid of being discovered, Li Jianguo and Zhang Cuifen didn't even give my mother a thin coffin, so they rolled it up with a mat and buried her hastily here.
My heart ached and tears rushed out of my eyes.
I also dropped the shovel in my hand and imitated Xiao Han's example of pulling up the soil with my hands while crying.
Not long after, my hand touched something hard, and I gently brushed away the soil on the surface. It turned out to be a piece of white bone.
Xiao Han spread the other piece of red cloth on the ground and carefully put the bones on top piece by piece.
Looking at the pile of broken bones, I finally couldn't help but threw myself on the red cloth with a cry of "Wow" and started crying.
My heart ached like a knife.
I don’t know how long I cried, but Xiao Han patted me on the shoulder and said, "Nanny, let’s go. It’s getting dark, and we have to find a place to bury your mother properly!"
I raised my head while sobbing, and it turned out that the sky was already very dark, and strong searchlights were on at the construction site not far away.
There are cigarette butts scattered on the ground, which must have been smoked by Xiao Han when I was crying.
Xiao Han's eyes were a little red. He slowly wrapped the bones, held them in his arms, and asked me to hold the red cloth bag wrapped with earth.
Since we had cut a road before, it was much easier to get out than in. In just over 20 minutes, we returned to the construction site.
When the contractor saw us, he came over from a distance and said, "You are finally out. I was worried just now and planned to have someone go in to help you!"
"Everything is done, your trucks and excavators will no longer have problems every day in the future." Xiao Han glanced at the contractor and said.
"Oh, brother, I really believe you, you are so amazing! The maintenance department just called me and said that the excavators that were broken before can be moved again!" The contractor did not hide his face.
He said excitedly, and then he saw that Xiao Han's face was not very good-looking, so he suppressed the smile on his face, glanced at the red cloth bag Xiao Han was holding and asked carefully: "This is Madam, right?"
Xiao Han nodded slightly, stopped talking, and walked past the contractor towards our car.
The contractor looked at us from behind and said in a loud voice: "Brother, thank you, I will listen to you and we will not take over the construction site in the east this year!"
Xiao Han opened the car door, carefully placed the two red parcels on the back seat of the car, and then turned back and waved to the foreman.
I sat in the passenger seat and asked Xiao Han: "Master Xiao, where are you going to bury my mother?"
Xiao Han started the car, turned to look at me and asked, "Where do you want to bury your mother?"
I thought for a while, "How about I bury her next to my fourth uncle and grandma. Although she is no longer here, I think she might come back one day. She will have a companion to stay with my grandma. In the early years, I
My mother already knows my mother, so it will be convenient for me to visit them in the future."
"Nanny, do you plan to stay in Jiangzhou from now on?" Xiao Han asked me.
"Well, I don't want to be too far away from my mother, and everyone is in Jiangzhou now!" I said.
"Listen to you!" Xiao Han said, driving the car in the direction of Liuqiao Village.
On the way, I occasionally vaguely saw a kind old woman and a energetic old man sitting in the back seat looking at me with a smile in the rearview mirror.
Soon we arrived at Liuqiao Village.
Since my mother was gone and there were no taboos, Xiao Han decided to bury her overnight.
He was very efficient in his work. He quickly bought a high-quality nanmu coffin from a coffin shop in the town. After setting the acupuncture points next to my fourth uncle's and grandma's grave, he asked a few migrant workers to dig a four-foot-two-inch hole.
, then put the coffin in.
This thing is actually very particular. This mountain is located in the northwest corner of Liuqiao Village, between Xuzi. The five elements belong to water, so it is Mount Hai.
The so-called Haishan Mountain should be four feet and two inches down. If there are five-color stones in the cave, it will bring good fortune and good fortune in the next sixty years.
After the tomb was repaired, Xiao Han sent away the workers, knelt devoutly in front of the grave of his fourth uncle and grandma, looked at the tombstone, kowtowed three times and said: "Aunt Mei, thank you for taking care of my daughter for so many years and raising her so well.
, you are a great benefactor to our family, and my daughter and I will come to visit you often in the future!"
"Hey, I finally found out who my mother is, are you happy for me?" I kowtowed behind Xiao Han and said with a smile.
The incense burned well, but my fourth uncle and grandma did not come out. The summer evening breeze blew my hair gently, and I seemed to feel that my fourth uncle and grandma must also be very happy.
When I returned to Jiangzhou overnight, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Xiao Han sent me to the door of the small apartment and said to me: "Nanny, I have to send the land elder to find a temple tomorrow morning, so I won't come to accompany you.
, call me if you have anything!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and watched him enter the elevator.
Turning around and entering the house, Lu Xiaohong was still sitting on the sofa, holding a book in his hand and reading. When he saw me coming in, he put down the book in his hand and said, "You must be hungry. I made some chicken soup and kept it warm.
I’ll get you a bowl!”
It was okay if he didn't say that. After saying that, I really felt a little hungry and nodded.
Then I thought that Xiao Han, like me, hadn't eaten anything all afternoon, so I turned to look at the door, feeling a little distressed.
Sean rushed towards me, licking my face with his wet tongue and humming from his mouth.
After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, my whole stomach felt warm, and I began to feel sleepy.
I walked into the bathroom and took a shower. When I came out, I saw Lu Xiaohong still sitting on the sofa and reading a book. I hesitated and asked, "My place is a little small. How about I tell Gu Xiwen tomorrow and you can move there?"
Live over there!”
"No, I'm used to sleeping on the sofa!" Lu Xiaohong smiled at me, "I won't be able to sleep for several days after changing to a new environment. Don't worry, I won't disturb you casually."
"That's not what I meant, I'm just worried that I might feel a little wronged to you." I looked at him and said.
"It's okay. It's not a grievance. As long as you don't mind it, it's fine! Master Xiao said that after the funds are collected in a few days, he can rent a house for me alone. I will move there then." Lu Xiaohong said, sitting on the sofa.
Lying down.
I nodded, said nothing more, and walked into the bedroom. Xia Xiaobei was lying on the bed with his back stretched out, his face flushed, and he was sleeping soundly.
When she heard my movement, she muttered, "Hu Ling, you're back, you miss me so much!" She turned over and fell asleep again.
I looked at her and felt a warm current in my heart. This chapter has been completed!
