Chapter 15 Chapter Thirteen

Uncle went to find my aunt Song Tingting.On the same day, I went out of the village with Lingling and walked more than ten miles, went to find Song Tingting together, and bought a bagful of snacks for his baby Xiaojun.Lingling was waiting for her uncle under the shade of a tree outside the village, and her uncle entered the village alone.In the village called Songying. Uncle said to Tingting: "Let's leave. To tell you the truth, I want to marry Lingling before I die. I will spend a few days with her while I am alive." My aunt's face turned green, and she thought about it for a while:

"It's okay to leave, you ask your brother to give me two good coffins. It must be the best coffin, and the best flowers must be engraved on the coffin." My uncle asked: "Who uses it?" My aunt said: "Don't worry about it". My uncle smiled and said with a smile: "I know who you are preparing the coffin for. Does he also have this fever?" My aunt didn't speak, she turned her head to the side, with tears in her eyes. Uncle didn't say anything anymore, feeling a little unspeakable in his heart. Grandpa went to Ding Xiaoming's house.

There was no one in Xiao Ming's family, so the master went to his family's field to look for it. He stopped his sister-in-law and Xiao Ming's mother at Zhuangtou, as if stopping a stranger to ask for directions, and said abruptly: "Are you going to water the field?" Xiao Ming's mother is going to water the field, to water the wheat Dial water.Her family's land is on the other side of the ancient Yellow River Road in Zhuangdong. When she went to water the land, she remembered that she should sprinkle chemical fertilizers in the running water.When I came back, I was stopped by my grandfather on the ancient Yellow River Road and asked me something.When Xiao Mingniang heard the question, she looked around and saw that there was no one else on the ancient road except the knee-deep grass and the waist-deep grass, so she believed that the master was asking her.

Just casually answer: "Ah. Watering the ground." Grandpa just stood in front of others stupidly and said: "It's too cruel to let Liang die tomorrow." Xiao Mingniang sneered: "I'm afraid you want Xiao Mingli to fulfill them?" Grandpa's face turned red: "That's a pair of people who are shameless." Xiao Mingniang was standing under a small tree by the embankment of the ancient road, staring at Master, as if she were looking at someone who was not worth looking at.The corners of her mouth moved, her nose snorted, and her lips curled up into a faint smile. After a moment of silence, her voice softened:

"Well, brother, let me tell you the truth as an aunt. I want Xiao Ming to get divorced. Now Xiao Ming has a partner again, and she is also a big girl. But she asks for five thousand yuan as a bride price. Said Once you get five thousand yuan, you can let someone marry in Dingzhuang someday." Speaking of this, Xiao Mingniang glanced at the grass on the ancient road again, as if to see if there were other people around, and after confirming that no one was there, she continued: "Didn't Ding Liang want to make things right with Lingling while he was still alive? Let the two of them take out the five thousand yuan. Take it out, Xiao Ming has the money to get married, and the two of them know that they are right and right, even if they die, they can be upright." Buried right in one place."

Grandpa was stunned on the small road in the middle of the ancient road, and the passing wind blew the mugwort onto him.The smell of mugwort wafted from his face into the air again. "Anyway, Xiao Ming and his daughter-in-law are both healthy." Xiao Ming's mother said: "They even showed Xiao Ming the hospital's certificate of no disease; but neither the nephew nor the fairy can live for a few days. I can't wait for Xiao Ming, as long as I bring the five thousand yuan, Xiao Ming will immediately divorce Lingling. After the divorce, my nephew can marry the goblin, and Xiao Ming can marry someone else. It's the best of both worlds. ."

Grandpa is there. Xiao Mingniang started to walk home again. Bumping and walking towards the village. The master turned to look at Xiao Ming's mother again, and called out: "The book says don't sprinkle fertilizer into the water. If you think about the fertilizer sprinkled into the water, half of the energy is actually not used on the crops, and even the grass eats chemical fertilizers." Xiao Mingniang walked calmly towards the village.After walking for a while, she turned around and called again: "Brother—you are also a person who has taught, and you still have the face to speak for those shameless people."

My father is still there, like a wooden stake on the ancient road of the Yellow River.The grass is lush and green, but the stake is still standing dry under the sky. Grandpa found his nephew Ding Xiaoming before dusk.After Xiao Ming finished watering the ground, he sat and rested on the other side of the ancient Yellow River road.His mother went back to the village to cook, and he sat and rested on the embankment of the ancient road.The bright red of the setting sun dyed the whole plain purple.When Yanhong and Qing touched, they turned purple.It glows with purple light, like purple air is transpiring on the plain.Xiao Ming sat under a locust tree on the embankment, smoking a cigarette, and the smoke he spit out flew into the setting sun, shining golden.

Grandpa is here. Grandpa stood in front of Xiao Ming boredly and said: "Ming, you didn't smoke before, why do you smoke now?" Xiao Ming glanced at Master, and turned his face away. Grandpa squatted down cheekily: "What are the benefits of smoking?" Xiao Ming took a deep sip, as if he knew it would do no good to smoke: "I'm not like Brother Ding Hui. I'm an official of the County Fever Committee. I can't finish the good cigarettes and drink the good wine. If you can't smoke good cigarettes, you can't smoke some bad cigarettes." My grandfather sat down and smiled.Do it and smile:

"Ding Hui and Ding Liang are not good. It would be better to let a car hit them to death. But the car didn't kill them, so what should I do? I can't strangle them alive. Besides, I'm old. I don't even have the strength to pinch them." Xiao Ming smiled, a sneering smile, like two golden streaks hanging on the corners of his mouth, like two ribbons floating on the corners of his mouth: "So you just let them live and live well. Those who are not sick are like living in heaven. Those who are sick are like living in heaven before they die." The grandfather looked at his nephew, his own nephew, and said nothing, his face was yellow, turning yellow and then red, as if someone had slapped the grandfather on the face.He lowered his head, then raised his head again, as if he was going to send his face in front of his nephew for him to slap him again.

"Xiao Ming," my grandfather said, "if you are angry, slap your uncle twice in the face, and your teacher Ding twice in the face." Xiao Ming laughed again, coldly: "Teacher Ding, uncle—you are highly respected, how dare I touch you. If I want to touch your finger, Brother Ding Hui dares to send someone to arrest me, and Ding Liang dares to take out his feverish blood and pour it into the blood." In our rice cooker." Grandpa said: "Ding Hui dares to touch your finger, your uncle I dare to die in front of him; Ding Liang dares to speak loudly in front of you, your uncle I dare to cut off his head." At this time, Xiao Ming stopped smiling.He didn't sneer, nor put a half-cold smile on his face, but only had a stiff face, which was blue, black and blue, like blood bruised on his face, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, you have taught all your life and can speak. But you are such a sensible person, why don't you let Ding Liang take my wife away? Why don't you beat him and scold him, and let them live together? Face?" Grandpa said: "Xiao Ming, tell Bo the truth, do you still want Lingling? Do you still plan to live with her?" Xiao Ming snorted with his nose: "I, Ding Xiaoming, will never go out to pick up junk even if I am worthless." Grandpa said: "Let's leave then, let's fulfill them." Xiao Ming said: "Mr. Ding, uncle, if you want me to tell you the truth, then I will tell you the truth. I have found a wife again. She is younger than Lingling, more beautiful, taller, fairer, and equally educated. They don’t want a penny from my family, but they want me to go to the hospital to get a test report for no fever. Assuming that I, Ding Xiaoming, has never sold blood and has no fever, I also pretend that she has no fever and let her go to the hospital I wrote a test report that there is no fever. This test report is a gift from the two of us. We originally agreed to get married this month, but now Ding Liang and Ling Ling live together, blatantly. Don’t they want to get married too? Don’t they want to have a good name before they die, so that they can be buried together? Hey——I don’t want to get married now, but I don’t want to divorce Lingling. Do you want to get a good name? Let them go Think about it—think about dying." The master stood in front of Xiao Ming, listening to Xiao Ming's angry, angry and proud words. After he finished speaking, he knew that things were hopeless, so he left the ancient embankment of the ancient Yellow River road and walked towards the school from under the embankment.The setting sun is transparent and bright on the embankment of the ancient road, and it is bright red, like a layer of golden red water sprinkled everywhere.There was a cicada call on the plain earlier, and it rang from the Yellow River Ancient Road in a hoarse voice, like a broken bell, hot red, ringing, and then ringing behind.Grandpa, he left Xiaoming slowly and walked towards the school. After walking a few steps, he turned his head to look again, and saw Ding Xiaoming also get up to go home. When the eyes of the two met, Grandpa stood up.He saw Ding Xiaoming looking straight at him, as if he still had something to say to him. He stood up and waited for Ding Xiaoming's words. When Xiao Ming called out loudly: "Let Ding Liang and Lingling wait until they die. On the day they die, I, Ding Xiaoming, will get married." Grandpa turned and walked away again. There is a section of the ancient road that is the old sand embankment, and the long wormwood looks like pine trees.Like the pine trees that my grandfather saw in Tokyo in the early years, the pine of the tower and the cypress of the tower.This wormwood is also like that, a large piece, growing one after another, green and yellow. Grandpa was walking in the mugwort, along a small road, and grasshoppers kept crawling on his feet, shoes, and jumping on his body.Walking silently, just walking, when the sunset was about to end, when he was about to turn the path towards the school, he heard footsteps behind him again.Turning around, I saw Xiao Ming coming from behind. It was Ding Xiaoming. Sweat was hanging on his face, and he walked fast, and sand flew from his feet to his face.With mud and sweat all over his face, he walked over from behind him, seeing the master standing up, and he also stood up, a dozen steps away, looking at each other and calling: "Hi-bo-" "Little Ming—" "If you want me to get a divorce, you can do it, and if you want me to fulfill them, you can do it—but there is one thing you have to promise me, and Brother Liang has to promise me too." "What's the matter?" "Do you agree or not?" "Tell me—" "I figured it out. I promised to divorce Lingling immediately, and let her marry Brother Liang immediately. Don't they want to die and be buried together? It's okay—I promise—let Brother Liang write in black and white. In the suicide note, he promised that he would give me his house, yard, and property after his death—anyway, Brother Hui would never return to Dingzhuang after he moved out. The house and property are not as good as Brother Hui's, so leave them to me." Grandpa stood on the edge of a pit, beside a stalk, squinting his eyes, looking at his nephew Ding Xiaoming. "Uncle—do you think what I said is okay? As long as it is okay, I will go to the village tomorrow to file a divorce with Lingling, and they can go to the village to get a marriage certificate the day after tomorrow." Grandpa stood on the edge of a pit, beside a stalk, squinting his eyes, looking at his nephew Ding Xiaoming. "Did you hear that? Teacher Ding—you are my uncle, and I am your nephew. It is better to let Brother Liang die and leave the family property to me than to leave it to outsiders. It is better than taking it away from the public. " Grandpa stood on the edge of the pit, beside the basil, squinting his eyes, looking at his nephew Ding Xiaoming. "Think about it, Bo—tell Brother Liang that his property is useless after his death. I don't want the property when he is alive, but after he and Lingling die. But if they agree to me, Then I won't agree to divorce Lingling. If I don't divorce him, he won't be able to marry Lingling. We won't be able to live with Lingling justifiably while we're alive, and we'll have a heart disease in our grave when we die." Grandpa listened, suddenly there were some flowers in front of his eyes, and the blood-red and golden sunlight slowly turned in front of him.Trees and grasses, wormwood, coir grass, thatch, and mugwort all turned around before his eyes, as if turning from under his feet to the distance.Turning slowly, even my nephew Xiao Ming is also turning in the distance. "I'm leaving—tell brother Liang to let him think about it. How many good days can one live in this world? Things are things that you don't bring with you when you are born, and you can only live comfortably every day. Really." After finishing speaking, I left. After Ding Xiaoming finished speaking, he left, walked slowly, swaying, and entered the golden and golden sunset. The western horizon, the extreme edge of the plain, the villages and trees, all collapsed on the ground, as if drawn on a piece of paper.The embankment of the ancient Yellow River road has become an embankment of sand dunes, with lush grass on the sunny side; the shady one is bare, and the sand is crusted, like a scab from a scald.On the top of the embankment and on the top of the hill, they are all bare and shiny, gray and white, and golden.In the setting sun, there is a smell of grass and sand warmed by the sun, and the fishy sweetness spreads warmly, just like water with sugar, which is stored endlessly on the plain.The plain is like that fishy, ​​warm and sweet lake. The plain is the endless lake filled with fishy, ​​sweet and warm smells. It's dusk. Whose sheep walked towards Dingzhuang from the direction of the school, bleating like a bamboo pole floating on the lake.Drifting along the wind, piercing the stillness of the lake through a hole. It's dusk. Someone was driving the cows that had been grazed for a day, and they were walking slowly towards the village. The moo sounded not like a line running through the plain, but a puddle of mud was slowly soaking in the surrounding area. The ground flow has filled the hole made by the sheep's cry. It's dusk. Someone standing above Dingzhuangzhuang's head called out to a man in the distant wheat field: "Third Uncle—are you busy tomorrow?" "Not busy—what's the matter?" "My father passed away—you can go and bury him tomorrow." Quiet for a while, then asked and answered again: "—when was it born?" "—almost half a day." "—Is there a coffin?" "—Didn't Yuejin and Brother Genzhu share a willow tree with the family?" "—where are the clothes?" "——my mother has already prepared it." "—well then—I'll be there early in the morning—" The plain was calm again, like a warm lake with no wind. I agree that after Lingling and I pass away, my family’s house, yard, trees, furniture and my family’s 3 mu of irrigated land adjacent to Wang’s and Zhang’s families in the north of the Yellow River Ancient Road will all be owned by my uncle and younger brother Ding Xiaoming.These properties are: 3 blue brick and tile houses and 2 wing rooms (one of which is a kitchen room and the other is a miscellaneous room).The land in the courtyard is more than 3 points, and there are 3 paulownia trees and 2 poplar trees in the courtyard.The furniture includes 1 cabinet, 1 table, 2 crates, 1 hanger, 1 washbasin stand, 4 red lacquered chairs, 5 small stools, 2 stools; 1 large bed, 1 small bed 1 sheet.In addition, there are 2 large tanks and 6 noodle tanks.These things, as long as Lingling and I are alive, we will cherish them, never destroy them, never move them away and lose them. Empty words have no proof, and the above in black and white is my suicide note.This suicide note is kept by my younger brother Ding Xiaoming, and it will take effect after Lingling and I die.His father, Ding Shuiyang, was not allowed to compete with Ding Xiaoming for his property. Testator: Ding Liang ××××year×month×day When the uncle went to deliver the black and white letters to Ding Xiaoming, he called Ding Xiaoming to the gate of his house. The uncle was outside the gate, and Ding Xiaoming was standing in the gate. The uncle threw the black and white letters on Ding Xiaoming's face and said: "here !" Ding Xiaoming picked up the black and white paper, looked at it, and said reluctantly: "Brother, you took my wife away, and you still treat me like this."
