The rest of the world [farming]

"Mumu, come back, your master is dying. If you don't come back, you won't be able to see him anymore."

Holding the high-speed rail ticket, Ao Mu watched the high-speed rail enter the city where his family was locked, and all kinds of memories from his childhood flooded into his mind.

He hated his grandpa since he was a child.His grandfather was his mother's father.His father is married.

His mother, Ao Ling, had a fever and burned her brain when she was young, and became what everyone called a fool, so his grandfather found him a son-in-law.A man who fell because he didn't get into college.

Parents are a fool, a waste who doesn't work hard and doesn't know the grain.

Ao Mu grew up surrounded by ridicule, sympathy and teasing since he was a child.

When he was young, he hated his grandfather for not taking good care of his mother and making her stupid.When he grew up, he hated his grandfather for breeding cancer.Knowing that her daughter's IQ is not good, she still has to find a man for her, and even collect that kind of waste at home.Ao Ling was harmed, and the most innocent Ao Mu was also harmed.

So after becoming an adult, Ao Mu seldom went home.In addition to sending money to go back regularly, in recent years, every New Year's Eve, he excused himself from work and didn't go back.

He originally thought that he would never see his grandfather and mother again in this life, but when he learned from his aunt that his grandfather was dying, his originally dead heart felt turbulent again.

Maybe he's not immune either.After all, they are blood relatives.

People are almost gone, what should I say when we meet again?

"I'm back"?or "Did you see me?"

In fact, if grandpa was easier to get along with, it wouldn't be so bad.The relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren will not be so rigid.

The car stopped in the city and took a taxi directly to the city hospital.

People are there.

Looking at the navigation, the city hospital is less than 200 meters away.

Ao Mu's cell phone rang.Answering the phone, I heard a sobbing voice on the other side.

"Mumu. Mom doesn't have a father anymore."

At that moment, Ao Mu's tears fell down.

He couldn't tell whether it was because of his grandfather's death or because of his mother's words.He and his mother are both fatherless children.

When the car arrived, Ao Mu paid the money, got out of the car and went to the hospital.Inquired about Grandpa's ward and walked over quickly.

People have just died, but also give relatives a chance to say goodbye.

When Ao Mu went upstairs, he saw his mother and aunt crying on a hospital bed covered with white sheets.

Ao Mu himself forgot how he got there.After walking in, Auntie Ao Zhen raised her face to see the person, stood up and hugged him.

"You say we're going to die!"

The whole family cried together, but the funeral still had to be done.

Ao Mu lifted the bed sheet and glanced at Grandpa.He was much thinner than he thought.Xu Shi frowned all the year round, even though everyone had gone, his eyebrows still had the word Sichuan.

After leaving, he will be very relaxed.Whether for the dead or the living.

After settling the hospital bill, he hired a car to take him back.Let the aunt first find someone to set up a mourning hall at home and report the funeral to relatives and friends.Go to the county to find Mr. Yin Yang and buy various funeral supplies.

The three most important occasions in life.Hundred days, weddings, funerals.This should be hilarious, with a lot of fuss.Grandpa passed away at the age of 88, a solemn funeral.

Therefore, Ao Mu bought it according to the highest existing specifications, and money was no longer in his consideration.

Everything was ready, and grandpa put it in the coffin.

Those relatives who didn't see each other very often came here to inquire.Looking at the people in the yard, Ao Mu didn't know more than half of them.

Ao Zhen took care of everything inside and out, and she was indeed a capable and capable woman, and the arrangements for personnel exchanges were well-organized.

The sun is scorching, and the big sun makes people irritable.Ao Mu repaired the coffin and took a look at Ao Ling who was kneeling in front of the coffin and burning paper.

In fact, Ao Ling is not stupid, but his IQ will always stay at 12 years old.She is actually very smart, but she always maintains her 12-year-old...innocence.

When he was young, Ao Mu was once ashamed of having such a mother, but after being beaten by the society, he was a little envious of his mother's innocence for decades.

Now that grandpa is gone, Ao Mu is worried about leaving Ao Ling alone at home.Just take it away and go to the city, there should be many things.

This kind of thing must be carefully considered.

"Xiao Ao..." A middle-aged woman patted Ao Mu on the shoulder.

As soon as Ao Mu turned his head, he felt his legs vibrate, and then the default bell rang.

Ao Mu said sorry, took out his phone and looked at it, and was taken aback when he saw the name.

After connecting, I heard a strong nasal sound.

"Brother Ao, you open the door, I'll stay at your place." The voice on the other end of the phone was still a little boyish, a little choked up, obviously something happened.

"I'm going back to my hometown. What happened?" In my impression, he has always been like a little sun, and I have never seen him like this.

"They are a bunch of bastards, they are not human! Why are you going back to your hometown! I still want you to drink with me." The man cried as soon as he finished speaking.Although he tried his best to suppress his tone, he couldn't help but hiccup.

"My grandfather is dead."

"...I'm sorry." The man wiped away his tears and found that the other party was worse than himself.

"It's okay. You can go to the property to file a record, and then find a locksmith to pry open the door and change the lock. You stay here first, and I will go back in ten and a half months." Ao Mu said calmly.

He really doesn't have a deep relationship with his grandfather.I cried a lot when I died, but now I don't feel like crying at all.

"No, where are you? Send me your address. I'll go to your place." The man said, "Isn't there a small number of people in your family? I can help you there."

"It's dirty and messy here, what are you doing here?" Ao Mu really felt that the golden and jade boy could adapt here.

"Don't I still owe you some money?"

"As soon as the money arrives." Ao Mu hung up the phone.

Then he looked back at the middle-aged woman who spoke.Seeing Ao Mu like this, the woman couldn't help asking curiously: "Your partner?"

"Brother, what do you want me to do?" Ao Mu has no intention of publicizing his private affairs to the world.

"Ah, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you for your grandfather's walking stick to go back. My old lady's legs and feet are not good. I want to ask you to give it back to her. It can be regarded as borrowing your old man's life. "

The custom here is that the things used by the old people who are happy and mourning are all good things.So if the old man is gone, all the things that can be shared during his lifetime will be divided.Those that no one wanted were burned in front of the grave of the old man.Not only daily necessities, but even sheets and bedding are sometimes cut and distributed to other people.It is said that sewing this kind of cloth on children's clothes can keep them from getting sick and feed them well.

"Just tell my aunt. I don't know where to put it." Ao Mu pointed him to where Ao Zhen was, and then went to the restaurant in the village to arrange a table.

Stop for three days and eat for two days.Although there are neighbors and relatives who come to help, they are still busy with their feet on the ground.For the past three days, I haven't closed my eyes much.

When it was the day of the funeral, before dawn, they were sent out of the village with the funeral procession.Symbolically sent to the cemetery for a kowtow, and then sent to the county crematorium together with the coffin.

After getting back the ashes, the tomb is covered and the urn is put in.A big living person has become a bun.

Ao Mu returned home exhausted, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a man in sportswear squatting under the shadow of the house.

Next to the man was a suitcase that was higher than he was squatting on. He was brushing with a mobile phone in one hand and blowing a hand-held electric fan in the other.

The wind from the electric fan blew the slightly long bangs, and the face looked particularly agile in the fluttering bangs.

"Why are you here?" There were still two people in the yard, and Ao Mu saw him at a glance.

The man raised his head and blinked his eyes: "I'm here to help."

"People are buried." Ao Mu squatted beside him, looking at the big box: "Did you move here?"

"It's all things that you can use easily." The man used an electric fan to blow on Ao Mu.

"There are only two rooms in my house. If you stay here, you can only squeeze one kang with me." Ao Mu pulled him up and picked up the big suitcase.

The box was so heavy that it almost bent Ao Mu's waist.

He followed Ao Mu into the house.

Ao Zhen was squatting in front of the stove cooking a hot meal, when she turned her head and saw a strange face.

"Your classmate?"

"My buddy, his name is Yang Wu, he heard that our family has something to come over to help." Ao Mu introduced, "This is my aunt."

Yang Wu then called auntie.Then turned back into the house.

Inside the room, Ao Ling was kneeling on the kang flipping through photo albums.Looking up at them, he waved to Ao Mu: "Mu Mu, come quickly. There are so few photos of you when you were young, only these few."

Yang Wu looked at this middle-aged woman who was kneeling on the kang, apparently 50 or [-] years old but with an innocent face.Look at Ao Mu.

"My mother." Ao Mu was used to it, and walked over to take a look.There are really not many photos of their family, and basically they only take one during the holidays.In these photos, his father is not there, because they were all cut out.

Looking at these photos, some memories came back to the furnace, Ao Mu stretched out his hand to look through it, this big photo album is not too thick, it can only hold a hundred and eighty photos in total.But the old photos didn't fill up.

I turned a few pages back, only to find a lot of new photos.

These photos include the yard, grandpa, and Ao Mu.It's just that Ao Mu's photos are relatively blurry, and it should be a screenshot from the video.

Ao Ling has a mobile phone with the highest configuration that Ao Mu bought for her.On weekdays, the mother and son would chat via video, and Ao Ling would show him the changes in the village.

Ao Mu really didn't expect that Ao Ling would leave so many photos in the album.

Reaching out to touch a photo in the album, which clearly shows heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"Do you like this photo too?" Ao Ling took out the photo and handed it to Ao Mu, "Dad likes it too. He often secretly looks at this photo, but I caught him several times and he refused to admit it."

...!

Ao Mu glanced at Ao Ling with the pride of discovering the truth on his face, and then took a closer look at his tired face in the photo.

He could guess an answer he didn't quite believe.

"Put it away." Ao Mu was in a complicated mood.

Ao Ling pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, I miss Dad, watch for a while."

Ao Mu was speechless, and looked back at Yang Wu.Yang Wu probed to take a look, then blinked at Ao Mu.

"I regret it." Ao Ling looked at the photo of her father, Ao Tianguo, and muttered, "I shouldn't have cut your dad's photo. I miss my dad, and I can see the photo. You miss my dad, and you don't even have a photo. I knew I wouldn't cut it."
