Home of Rebirth

In fact, in this family, not only Xia Yue was worried, but also Xia's mother, because she went to the third sister's house on June [-]st, and it turned out that all the brothers and sisters gathered at the third sister's house that day.

There are seven brothers and sisters in Xia's mother's family, and she is the only one with six.

The reason why all their brothers and sisters were present that day was because of Grandpa Xia Yue's support.

In Xia Yue's life, the only old man in the next generation has only seen his grandpa. The rest of his grandparents and grandma all died young, many years before he was born.

Xia Yue doesn't have much memory or affection for his grandpa, he only vaguely remembers that he is an old man who is already towering and late.

I heard that the old man was a little selfish when he was young, and that among these children he favored the eldest son the most, so most of the property went to the eldest son's house.

But based on this, the remaining uncles and aunts are very dissatisfied. Besides, in this family, everyone has no serious job and is working for others. Only the uncle is a junior high school teacher.

So everyone felt that the uncle should take the lead in supporting the elderly, but although the uncle is a teacher, he is not very enlightened, and he married a stingy daughter-in-law, so it is difficult to get a penny more.

But if it is to be shared equally, everyone is unwilling, because everyone wants to get less, even Xia's mother thinks so.

In her heart, she felt a little resentful toward her elder brother and her father. Mother Xia had been in poor health since she was a child, and she was often hospitalized. At that time, the hospital expenses were reimbursed by her grandfather's factory. On the eldest brother, Xia's mother has fallen to the root of her illness and has to take medicine every day.

Mama Xia is a formidable person, but she is not unreasonable, so that day when the sisters and brothers were arguing endlessly, she didn't say anything, she just wanted to follow the crowd, and she would take as much as everyone took, and never take more.

The family symposium that day ended in failure with the uncle leaving in a huff.

Then several uncles and aunts and aunts also left. Mother Xia stayed behind to talk with her third sister for a while, and then went home.

But as soon as he got home, he started to feel worried with Xia Laosan's salary slip.

Food and clothing, human relations, children's schooling, everything is money, and now the family wastes money the most is herself, because she takes medicine every day, and the medicine expenses in a month are quite a lot, thanks to Mrs. Xia If you are an ordinary person, you will have to blame a few words, but supporting the elderly is the natural and righteous responsibility of children.

Xia Yue saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. If he couldn't get the money, I'm afraid that Xia's mother would have to stop her medicine, and Xia's mother's condition could not be cured by taking medicine. Heart disease is an internal medicine, which requires Western medicine surgery. , and need Chinese medicine treatment, earning money is imminent.

But where to earn money, Xia Yue was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters, and his chubby face, which was already a bit fleshy, had lost a lot of weight now.

He is wandering around the alley now that he has nothing to do. One morning he saw a family going to a funeral. Their family lived at the bottom of the mountain, and there was the only funeral home in the city on the mountain. The main road passes by.

During the funeral, there will be suona playing mourning music, someone in front of the funeral will beat the spirit flag, and someone will throw money along the way. In addition to Ming coins, real money is also thrown, all of which are dime coins.

Xia Yue just followed the funeral procession, picking up the money all the way to the door of the funeral home.

Look at this, when he died in his previous life, he was also mourned here, but Meng Huaiyuan really poured money into it back then, spending half of his fortune to build a huanghuali coffin for him, and the cemetery he bought was also the best Yes, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the other, Xia Yue was lying in it, and the neighbor was a highly respected city leader of the city. In the end, Meng Huaiyuan himself held a spirit flag in front of him, holding a posthumous photo, and even spent money to find a child for him to throw a basin and cry for funerals .

Xia Yue sighed, took out the dime in his pocket and counted it, it was quite a lot, more than five yuan in total.

At this moment, the self-satisfaction and self-confidence that came from his rebirth are all gone. Before his rebirth, he was just an ordinary person, unable to lift his shoulders or hands, and he is still the same after his rebirth! !

Ever since Xia Yue came back from the funeral home with more than 50 ten-cent steel coins that he picked up that day, an unspeakable sense of loss has been haunting Xia Yue. Waiting for someone to go to the funeral, he followed behind to pick up money, and later he saw one or two old people picking up money with him, and some old men in Chinese tunic suits and walking sticks. When the family's funeral car went down to carry the coffin, he went up to him for a long meal to mourn, and then asked for a reward. The money he asked for once was much more than Xia Yue picked up all morning.

But this is also reasonable. A funeral is always a sad event. Many people are forced to leave their loved ones here, and the cost of the funeral is their last way of expressing their thoughts and love to their loved ones. No one is willing to perfunctory.

After Xia Yue finished picking up the money every day, he went down the mountain at [-]:[-] and went home with his schoolbag to go to school with Meng Huaiyuan. Then he would buy buns at the school gate. Every time he couldn’t eat them, he insisted on Meng Huaiyuan helping him finish them, and he returned them to Meng Huaiyuan. I bought a pen.

Hero brand pens cost five yuan each, and they were available in black or silver, and were the most popular at that time.

In the third grade of elementary school, he had to learn to use a fountain pen. Meng Huaiyuan used the ones left over by his cousin Cheng Gang, which always made Li Hongxia feel uncomfortable.

Xia Yue has disliked it for a long time. After buying it, he lied to Meng Huaiyuan that he picked it up. Meng Huaiyuan is only a child in the fourth grade now, and his lie detection ability is not as sharp as it was when he grew up.

The summer is getting hotter and hotter. Anqiao Elementary School is about to have a mid-term exam. After the exam, the summer vacation will start for more than a month.

Xia Yue lost three more front teeth, and he didn't understand why the front deciduous teeth had to fall out at the same time. In this way, his top four front teeth were all gone, and his speech was leaking, which made him more and more reluctant to speak.

And because of Grandpa Xia Yue's support, the quarrel between Xia's children intensified.

The uncle argued hard, but the others refused to let go.

However, every time Xia's family gathers, Xia Yue will follow his mother, because he is afraid that Xia's mother will be angry, so he is always worried.

The meeting place was still the third aunt's house, and it was the first time he saw the third aunt in this life.

Among Xia's sisters and brothers, she has the best relationship with Third Aunt.

That day, when Xia Yue followed her mother to the house of the third aunt Zhao Yuehua, the aunt Zhao Yuexia and the second uncle Zhao Zhiguo also arrived. Zhao Zhiguo was squatting on the threshold smoking a cigarette, and when he saw their mother and son coming, he stood up.

"Come here." He glanced at Xia's mother, and then turned to look at Xia Yue: "I heard that you passed the double hundred in this exam, and you are promising, more promising than your sister."

"What can you tell when you're only in the first grade?" Xia's mother smiled, and pushed Xia Yue forward: "Yue Yue, I saw my second uncle, why don't you call me?"

"Second Uncle" Xia Yue raised his head and called out crisply.

"Hey~~~~" Zhao Zhiguo hurriedly agreed, stretched out his hand to hug Xia Yue, and took out a piece of bubble gum from his pocket to give him.

Xia Yue is very polite: "Thank you second uncle"

"Why are you being polite to my second uncle?"

The more Zhao Zhiguo looked at his nephew, the more he liked him. He was patriarchal, but there was a girl in his family. He wanted to have another boy back then, but unfortunately he didn't make it. So whenever he looked at someone's son, he would be very envious.

In the previous life, when his mother was alive, he still had some contact with Zhao Zhiguo's family, but after his mother passed away, Zhao Zhiguo's family followed his cousin to Guangzhou, and gradually lost contact. Xia Yue still remembers that when Xia's mother passed away, Zhao Zhiguo was crying in the house Stamped his feet, cried and shouted: "My sister is gone, why did my sister leave before me?"

Facing this heart-rending cry, Xia Yue still has a good feeling for his second uncle.
