tell me

The next day, Du Yu and the others deliberately chose to leave after twelve o'clock noon. They took the old road yesterday, and when they arrived, they happened to meet Ahu's family members driving back.

Du Yu looked puzzled when he saw the coffin on the cart. Shouldn't there be only one urn left after the cremation?

Such a small urn can bear the weight of a lifetime.

So small.

Imprisoned in dark and expensive cemeteries, life is over.

"Hey," Lu Yinke waved his hands twice in front of his eyes, "Why are you so preoccupied? They all got out of the car."

Du Yu shook his head as if waking up from a dream: "It's nothing, let's go."

The coffin was put back in place again, and Ah Hu sat on the bench sleepily, his eyes staring straight ahead blankly.

"Ah Hu, how are you doing today?" Du Yu walked over and asked.

Ah Hu turned his head slowly, with a hollow and exhausted expression, until he saw the faces of the two elder brothers intruding into his line of sight, he gradually forced himself to cheer up.

"Ah, you're here." He said weakly, "I thought you wouldn't be here today."

"This is?" A tough male voice broke in, and besides that, a hand was placed on the top of Ah Hu's head.

"Uncle," Ah Hu looked up and shouted, "This is the brother teacher who came to support the teacher. He helped move the coffin when you were away yesterday."

The man called Uncle froze, then extended a hand in a very formulaic manner.

"Which university did you come to support teaching?" He asked, "Thank you for your help yesterday."

Although this man was also wearing a filial piety dress, it was only loosely worn on the outside, revealing half of the Hermès belt around his waist, which was silver and reflective.

Du Yu looked down at the outstretched hand of the man who was about to shake hands, but Lu Yinke took the lead.With a friendly smile on his face, he said "We are from N University" while shaking hands with that person.

"N University, that's a very good school, can it rank among the top in the country?" The man heard the light flashing in their school's eyes, "It would be great if my daughter could also be admitted there."

"How old is Qianyuan?" Du Yu asked politely.

The man pulled the hemp belt on the filial piety clothes, deliberately making the Hermès logo more obvious: "I'm still young, I'm only in the first grade, but this matter must be planned in advance, after all, more than ten years have passed quickly Isn't it?"

"Haha, you are right."

The calm and waveless laughter came from Lu Yinke. He raised the corners of his mouth in a half-smile, but narrowed his eyes, which was quite ironic.

Du Yu frowned and glanced at him.

The man seemed to be used to working hard in the officialdom, as smooth as a fox.He noticed the perfunctory and disapproval in Lu Yinke's tone, so he quickly patted Ah Hu's back: "Huzi, don't be dazed, why are you so blind, take them to your room to rest quickly." He looked at Du Yu again, and smiled, "Let's have dinner here tonight, and I'll ask Ah Hu's mother to make a good meal for you."

"No trouble, no trouble," Du Yu subconsciously waved his hand, "Let's take a look at Ah Hu, and we'll be leaving later."

"It's all right," the man said, "the family invited someone to sing an opera tonight, so stay a little longer."

"Sing?"

"Because my mother passed away at 83 years old, it is considered a long life after the octogenarian, which is considered a happy event."

"By the way, look..." The man sneaked up and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Can I add a WeChat account? I think you are all so good, and I would like to ask you for advice and learning methods if I have the chance."

"This..." Du Yumian pulled a smile, "But our age gap is too big, and the opinions we provided are outdated, and may not be suitable."

"It's nothing, nothing. The advice given by an outstanding student will be excellent anyway, and it will always be useful." The man looked anxious, and grabbed Du Yu's arm with his hand with long nails, "Soon, I'll sweep you. "

The nails were about to touch Du Yu's skin, and if they used too much force, they might get a mark, an annoying mark that belonged to someone else.

"Don't worry, what do you think about me? We are both the same." A hand was grabbed out through the wind, with a strong and arrogant force, and it was clasping the man's outstretched wrist.

The speaker was smiling, but his slender eyes looked down with oppression and contempt.

"All right, all right," the man saw that the soft persimmon could not be squeezed, so he had to settle for the next best thing. He lost the friend application while finding a way for himself, "Oh, I just feel that the little brother is a bit like my daughter, white and clean Jing doesn't like to talk, and there should be some similarities in the way of learning..."

"Tch," Lu Yinke followed Ah Hu on the way back to the house, he spat disdainfully, "Who is that second uncle of yours, it's too greasy."

Ah Hu raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, took out a glass and poured them tea in silence.He held up a half-person-high plastic water bottle, unplugged the cork, and the water vapor rushed up and captivated his eyes. He squinted and shook his body twice.

"Let me do it."

Du Yu took the thermos bottle from his arms, and poured the water into the glass, his voice changed from shallow to full.

The dark green tea leaves floated lightly from the bottom of the cup, looking ignorant of the world.

"He was admitted to a junior college and passed the exam. Now he works in the city and rarely comes back." Ahu put the lid on the water bottle and put it back where it was before turning around and finding a low stool to sit on. "Yesterday he took my mother I scolded her and asked her why she didn't take good care of her mother."

Ah Hu's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"How can you let the old lady come out alone? What are you doing?"

"Why didn't the old lady find out immediately when she knocked, and she couldn't even rescue her."

"How did you become a daughter-in-law? How did the old lady treat you back then? You just treated her like this."

He dumbly repeated what his second uncle said, and only sighed slightly at the end.

"He loves his mother, but who will love me?"

Du Yu stared at Ah Hu's lonely profile with his eyes like black ink for a long while, and he took a sip of the steaming weak tea, and the scalding tea dripped from between his lips.

"You."

He finally spoke, his voice was hoarse, magnetically persuasive, and demagogic.

"Me?" Ah Hu smiled a little sadly, but he still cheered up and said in an uplifting tone again, "I can't do it! I'm stupid and stupid, and I can't do farm work well, and I can't study well either. , maybe it will be like this for the rest of my life.”

"I..." He was silent for a moment, "I am an incompetent son."

"When my mother was being scolded, I didn't even dare to go up and tell him how hard and busy my mother was, let alone accuse him of being unfilial."

"I can only listen secretly behind my back, and then secretly wipe my tears."

"I'm a piece of shit."

"There is no son as bad as I am."

"I'm a piece of shit."

Du Yu knocked the glass on the table, making a clear and crisp sound.He sighed as if there was nothing, and patted Ah Hu on the back.

"You are not, you are still so young, you are not able to protect them, it is not your fault."

"You are very smart, don't start to despise yourself and give up the infinite possibilities of the future just because you are at a loss for a while."

"Hey, what are you talking about, don't tell the kids chicken soup, talk about something dry." Lu Yinke assumed the posture of someone who came here, and stretched out his hand to push Du Yu, "You listen to me, I'll tell you."

"It's not physical strength that matters in this era," he tapped his temple with his index finger, "it's the brain."

"You still don't understand? Then let me speak more clearly," he dragged out each sound very long, as if trying to dig into Ahu's head, "Learning."

"Although I don't want to admit it, your brother Corgi is right this time."

Du Yu suddenly provoked a slightly provocative but dazzling wanton smile, which seemed to be only shown on Lu Yinke's face.But upon closer inspection, it was indescribably appropriate, as if it should be so from birth.

"The students we have ever taught must be the best," he pinched Ahu's baby fat face, "make your second uncle jealous of you."

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the coffin was carried out again.

The old lady's children and grandchildren kneeled in a vertical line, lined up along the road.Followed by five or six big men lifting the coffin with wooden poles, followed by a group of musicians holding dirty brass french horns.

This is to be buried.

Carrying the coffin is hard work, and everything is ready for lunch. It is the most important part to pay for the money and the toast.

When the coffin bearer is gone, the children and grandchildren in front can leave; when the coffin bearer is tired and rested, the children and grandchildren must kneel in front of them peacefully.

Those who played the short and long horns could not play mourning music at this time, but had to play some allegro to give more motivation to those who carried the coffin.

As for those who are distant or irrelevant, it is also possible to use the four wheels to pull them away.

Just like this, stop and go, stop and go, finally on a small mound, next to the mound is soft sand and gravel.

The coffin bearers put down their burdens and used hoes instead.The soil was plowed up with a four-toothed rake, and removed with a large shovel, and a square cuboid hole appeared in front of my eyes.

First, the cannon was blown up, which made the eardrums vibrate; then the coffin was filled with soil, and the urn was in the coffin; finally, Ahu's eldest aunt, the grandmother's eldest daughter, began to divide the rice and stuffed it into people's hands inside.

Du Yu and Lu Yinke were also assigned a lot, and they were held in the palm of their hands, implying peace and prosperity, and they were all handed over to Ahu.

The dinner was not cooked by Ah Hu's mother, but was eaten together in a large one-story house with more than ten tables.

There were so many people, so Du Yu didn't care much, and sat next to Lu Yinke on the same stool.

"Are you here to teach, young man?" The folks opened a bottle of beer in a very hospitable manner, "Do you want to drink?"

Lu Yinke smiled and handed the paper cup up to receive the wine, and turned around to ask Du Yu, "Do you want to drink?"

"No." He glanced at the table, where besides beer there was a bottle of beer and a bottle of coconut milk, "I drink coconut milk."

"Hey, why do you drink coconut milk? A real man wants to drink!" Lu Yinke clenched his fist with one hand.

"Pour two glasses, it's quite manly." Du Yu responded coolly.

"Yes! Young man, you are right!" The fellow suddenly withdrew his pouring hand, turned around and brought out a paper cup again, "How about two white glasses?"
