Chapter 64 Chapter One

At the end of August 2007, my grandmother passed away, and I hurried back to Jinping, only to encounter the Golden Silkworm Gu that changed my life. At the beginning of October 2008, my grandma also passed away.After receiving the call, I immediately explained what I was doing, bid farewell to Zamao Xiaodao, and took my cousin Xiaojing to Dongguan Houjie Bus Station by car.There, there is a direct coach to Jinping every day at two o'clock at noon.I originally wanted to go home again during the Chinese New Year, to see Huang Fei, so that I could make a decision for the rest of my life, but fate is like a turntable, and I don’t know where it will stop in the next second. Give me a little mental preparation time.

At the beginning of the story, I introduced the situation of my mother's family, but I said less about my father's side. This is for the sake of brevity and fluency.However, when it comes to the intimacy of the relationship, my father's side is closer. The Lu family is a common surname in Jinping. I once read a genealogy book that my father kept at the bottom of the box. There are various names and branches, forming a large house family.Not to mention the distant house, my grandfather alone gave birth to four sons and two daughters—my uncle lives in the country, my dad is the second child, my third uncle lives in the nearest village to my family’s Dadunzi Town, my younger uncle lives in the county seat, and works for the Forestry Bureau The employees, two aunts are married to this city (state).

This pattern is exactly the same as that of the Miscellaneous Taoists. How else can we say that we are destined? My grandma has been living with my uncle and her two great-grandchildren.During the Chinese New Year last year, she was taken by my uncle's cousin to Hainan for a tour, and she has always been in good health.The last time I saw her was at my grandma's funeral. At that time, I was so busy that I didn't even say a few words to her old man.Later, I was busy with various things, except for occasionally thinking of making a phone call, I really didn't remember her much.

Unexpectedly, now there is a separation between yin and yang. Lying on the sleeper of the long-distance bus, I kept recalling the things that my grandma took me at our house when I was a child, and many details that had been forgotten came to my mind bit by bit.It was a dusty story of a little kid in crotch pants and a kind little old lady.There is nothing thrilling, only a touch of warmth. Unlike my grandma, who always has a serious face, my grandma is a very traditional housewife. She has worked hard in the fields all her life, is busy and frugal, and has never blushed or quarreled with others. She is smiling all day long. , very kind.So when I was young, I liked grandma more than grandma.

However, they left me one after another during the past year or so. I suddenly hated myself a little: how unfilial am I that I didn't even see my grandma for the last time before she died?Last time I remembered my grandma told me that I should marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and then give birth to a big fat boy, and she would help us take care of it.But... when we have it, we feel ordinary. Only when we lose it and feel the pain like heart-wrenching, will we want to cherish and miss the benefits of others. Such as grandma, such as... the little demon Duoduo. I got on the bus at noon the day before, and I didn't arrive in Jinping County until after five o'clock in the morning the next day.It was still dark at this time, and it was the darkest hour of the day.Xiao Jing got motion sickness and vomited all the way. After getting off the bus, I took her to the public toilet at the station to wash up. Then, I took her suitcase and walked slowly along Binjiang Road to my uncle’s house under the dim street lights. .

Halfway there, I passed an alley and couldn't help but take a look inside. Huang Fei's house was the fifth one in the alley. The sadness in my heart was diluted a little, and then I felt flustered for no reason. There is a girl here, who is my legitimate girlfriend, but I haven't had any contact with her for more than half a year, and I try not to let myself think about her.By now, I find myself knowing nothing about her: how is it doing now?Are you still thinking about me?Do you still love me?All the doubts came to my mind, I looked at the shadows of the trees swaying under the warm yellow street lamps in the alley, and I didn't have any confidence in my heart.

Huang Fei's father was indeed an old fox. The so-called one-year agreement was actually a trap. When love is cooled like ice water, what is left? I don't know.An impulse arose in my heart to go see Huang Fei regardless of the one-year agreement with Lao Shizi.All the questions in my mind, I'd love to get an answer right away.Seeing me stop, Xiao Jing asked, what happened to Brother Zuo? I shook my head, sighed, and said it's okay, let's go back. When we arrived at my uncle's house, my aunt had already gotten up and was waiting for us.My uncle is not here, he rushed back to his uncle's house in the countryside yesterday morning.Because I was in a hurry to go back to the funeral, I didn't stay long, took a sip of water, and wanted to go back to the countryside as soon as possible.My aunt said that the bus to Xinhua Township (the town where my uncle is located, and Dadunzi Town is a little further away) will not be available until after eight o'clock at the earliest, so wait for it first.

Even if we got to the village farm and then transferred to the villager group where my uncle was, we still needed to find a car.After thinking about it, I took out my mobile phone and called my good friend Yang Yu in the Public Security Bureau to borrow a car from him.It was not yet six o'clock in the morning, Yang Yu was a little confused when he received the call, but when he heard my voice, he was pleasantly surprised and asked where I was?I said I was back, and then told him what happened at my house, and said that I wanted to borrow a car from him and run around for a few days. Yang Yu agreed without hesitation, saying see you at the crossroads in ten minutes.

I told my aunt that I was going back, and asked them if they would go?The aunt said that there are still some things at home, and an obituary will be issued at that time, and the county needs someone, so let Xiaojing follow me first.Because I was taking care of Xiao Jing in the south, the attitude of my aunt who turned to me was much better. I came to the crossroads with my luggage and Xiao Jing, and after a while, Yang Yu drove over in his off-road vehicle.Reunited after a long absence, the two shook hands tightly. He asked me how I was doing and why I hadn't heard from me for a long time.Like I said, it's not dead anyway.The two talked for a while, and I asked if it was convenient for you to drive away?He said it's okay, anyway, the official car will drive the mission, so there is no delay.

I was in a hurry to go back and asked him to say hello to Ma Haibo for me, so I was ready to leave. Yang Yu's expression became a little weird, he hesitated to speak, I asked what's wrong?He laughed and said, did you and Huang Fei break up?Why don't you care about others at all?I said no, but...it's a long story, I'll talk to you again after I've been busy for a few days.Seeing the sad look on my brow, Yang Yu knew that I was in a bad mood, so he patted my shoulder and said my condolences, brother. I sat in the driver's seat, waved goodbye to Yang Yu, and drove Xiaojing away from the county.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Jing saw Yang Yu still waving at the back, and enviously said Brother Zuo, do you still know this policeman?I said yes, what's the matter, you know it too?Xiao Jing nodded fiercely and said that in June of this year, Yang Jie and the others had a group fight, but the police came and they all squatted on the ground.Later this man came, and the police called him Captain Yang, so imposing. Team Yang?It is reasonable to say that gang fights between gangsters usually involve either the police station or the security team. Could it be that Yang Yu has been transferred to the security team and has been promoted?He was still a criminal policeman half a year ago, but now he has become the captain all of a sudden. This kid hasn't told me yet.But think about it, Yang Yu's background is also big, and he has worked for several years to climb to such a position, to be honest, he is considered low-key. Xiao Jing looked at me with bright eyes: "Brother Zuo, I never thought you could eat so well in our county?" I shook my head and laughed.Uncle is a strict-mouthed person, he won't talk about my affairs to others, and my aunt and the others are a bit of a nobleman from the city, so they look down on me, and they always do.Of course, I don't care too much about these things. It is enough for a person to think highly of himself.It would be very lucky if there are more like-minded friends. The road home was tortuous.The mountain road was winding and the road conditions were not very good. Although it was an off-road vehicle, I still drove very carefully. It took nearly two hours to reach my house.My parents were not at home, and they both went to my uncle's house for the funeral. I didn't have a key, so I didn't stay there. I drove to Xinhua again, and finally arrived at my uncle's house after nine o'clock. Seeing a wooden shed with a black plastic leather roof built in the yard from a distance, surrounded by a group of people, I felt sad: seven years ago, at exactly such a time, my grandfather just left.Seven years later, grandma also went looking for him. We are always reluctant to leave our loved ones, but we have to face this fact. The arrival of me and Xiao Jing immediately attracted people's attention, and soon, all the faces I was familiar with appeared.Under the leadership of my mother, I came to the funeral shed, and my grandma had already been buried.There was a big black coffin in the middle of the coffin, and a portrait of grandma hung in front of it. This old, thin, white-haired little old lady was looking at me kindly and smiling. My tears fell at that moment, and I felt that my heart was extremely painful. I think this smile is too dazzling and makes me feel ashamed. Knocking my head to the bottom, I lay on the grass futon and wept in a low voice: Grandma, Lu Zuo is back, your beloved Lu Zuo is back... incense candles linger in the coffin shed, and there is a speaker playing Buddhist music repeatedly "The Great Compassion Curse". The lights in the coffin were dim, and at this time Duo Duo also emerged from the pagoda tree in my arms, knelt on the ground obediently, and kowtowed to the old lady lying in the coffin.Of course no one could see her except me.But she kowtowed very seriously, and her small face was full of serious sadness. I felt a light tap on the shoulder and looked up to see my father standing behind me.I haven't seen you for half a year, and I have been struggling on the verge of life and death. Now seeing my father's old face, I couldn't help standing up, hugging him and my mother next to me: "Dad, Mom, I miss you... ..."
