How many weeks are you going to confess?

Zhou Sijie passed away quietly on May [-]th.

Lian Li was making breakfast at the time and didn't hear anything. When he went to call Zhou Sijie, he found blood was all over the bed sheet, and Zhou Sijie hadn't breathed.

The funeral was organized with the help of Wang Po. Most of the people in the village were honest and kind, and if anyone had something to do, all the people in the village would come to work as white laborers.

According to the customs of the village, the coffin needs to be placed in the mourning hall for seven days, and the funeral also needs to be held for seven days.

Lian Li asked the school for a week off, but he didn't inform Bian Jin. After all, the college entrance examination is one month away, so he can't be delayed.

But Bian Jin still came, on the second day of the funeral, and with him were Jiang Lesheng, Lu Xu, the four of them, Zhou Siyi and Lu Shiyun.

Zhou Siyi immediately scolded Lian Li, "You child, why didn't you inform me of my sister's death?"

Lian Li said calmly: "This is what my mother told me. She just wants to be buried in peace, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Zhou family."

Zhou Siyi burst into tears in an instant, and cried, "But she is my sister! Even if she cut off ties with the Zhou family, she is still my sister."

"Why did you hide it from me for so long? Why didn't you tell me that she was sick? I thought you didn't want to treat her! Why didn't you tell me! I can ask Xia Chuan or even the best doctor in the country, and I can cure her. why did not you tell me!"

Zhou Siyi was almost insane, if it wasn't for Lu Shiyun and Lu Xu's pull, he would rush to beat Lian Li at any time.

Lu Xu said, "I'm sorry, let's take her back to the car first, and come back when I calm down."

After Zhou Siyi left, the surrounding villagers dared to continue talking and doing things. Wang Po frowned and asked, "Is that your aunt?"

Lian Li nodded, "Well, she has never been to Tianjia Village, and she has never seen you, sorry."

Wang Po sighed, "Why do I apologize, she really loves Xiaojie, it would be nice if more people died for her, hey..." She sighed again, and went to help elsewhere.

Lian Li hasn't seen the two brothers Jiang Lesheng and Ahao for more than half a year, but they haven't changed much, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Lesheng is usually not serious, but today he is very serious, "We never came when Auntie was sick, and we have to come when she passed away."

"But the college entrance examination is coming soon."

Chu Zihao said: "It's okay, we all only took one day off, so we can't delay anything, except brother Jin and Lu Xu."

Bian Jin said, "I will always be with you."

In the past few days, Lian Li has been working like a donkey without any rest time. He is so exhausted physically and mentally that he can no longer distinguish day from night.

Now he felt he had at last a glimmer of hope for redemption.

"thank you all."

It wasn't until evening that Zhou Siyi calmed down. Lian Li prayed for Zhou Sijie in the mourning hall. Zhou Siyi walked over silently and knelt down on the garden.

There was no communication between the two, and they prayed quietly. After 10 minutes, the husband said that it was all right, and they came outside the mourning hall in silence.

The funerals in the village are very lively and will be held for seven days. At night, there are card tables in the courtyard. Even Li Dang, a filial son, needs to keep a vigil. At night, he usually finds an empty seat and quietly dazes.

There were six of Bian Jin and the others sitting at a table in the corner, and Lu Shiyun waved to them, "Mom, cousin, this way."

"Sorry, I yelled at you during the day, I know, Xiaojie has such a personality." Zhou Siyi said softly, "You are very similar to her."

After speaking, she strode towards Lu Shiyun and sat beside her.

There was a vacant seat next to Bian Jin, and Lian Li sat there, and several people surrounded a round table to the brim.

Although there were many people, no one spoke, and fell into an awkward atmosphere of confusion.

Jiang Lesheng coughed lightly, and forced to find a topic, "The funeral customs here in Yuandu are quite different from those in Xia Chuan. I remember that I attended my aunt's funeral a few years ago and it wasn't so lively."

Lian Li: "Well, customs in many places in Yuandu are also different."

Then there was silence again.

Chu Junhao suggested: "I see there are poker cards on the table over there, how about we play too? Eight people can be divided into two groups."

The next round of the filial son ceremony in the mourning hall is about to start again, and the band at the door has already got up.

Lian Li said, "Go ahead and play, I have to go to the mourning hall later."

Zhou Sijie's parents left Tianjia Village when she was a child. After Zhou Sijie's grandparents passed away, their family has nothing to do with the village, so the only people who can be filial sons are Li Zhou Siyi and the others. Wang Po wants to participate, but she I can't help but kneel when I'm old.

Therefore, even Li had to participate in every round of the filial son ceremony.

After Lian Li got up, Bian Jin also joined him and said to Zhou Siyi: "Auntie, you just participated in a round, this time I will accompany Lian Li, you have a rest."

The filial son ceremony was held until twelve o'clock in the evening, and a group of them participated. After the first time, Bian Jin would accompany Lian Li every time.

Zhou Siyi and Lu Shiyun didn't stay up all night, and they became sleepy after twelve o'clock. There were many big bunks in the bedroom for people in the village who were too late to go home to sleep. Lian Li asked them to go to sleep.

The rest of them are good at staying up late, and they are very energetic now.

Lian Li fetched a bottle of water for everyone, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Lesheng waved his hand, "Hey, we are all friends, what are you talking about?"

Lian Li smiled, "I haven't seen you for so long, how are you doing?"

Talking about this, Jiang Lesheng has the right to speak, "It is very fulfilling. Brother Jin grabs us to study every day, even on weekends. Thanks to him, all of us have passed the second line. This time I am a second model. It's only three points away from a line."

Lian Li was surprised, and looked at Bian Jin, who was also very proud, "There is no harm in studying hard."

"What about you? How is the second model this time?" Lian Li asked.The total score of Bian Jin last time was 637, an improvement of more than 30 points from the end of last semester. His deeds were really posted on the Xiachuan High School Honor Roll.

Bian Jin rubbed his nose, "I didn't perform well, I didn't do the last physics question, only 659."

The other two science students, Ah Hao and the two brothers, wanted to strangle Bian Jin to death, "There is only 659! Listen! Is this a human language!"

Lu Xu was very indifferent, "It really can be called 'only'."

Jiang Lesheng gritted his teeth, "Shut up, you who passed the [-] exam!"

Lian Li said softly: "It's great." It feels so good that everyone around him is working hard.

His hand under the table was held suddenly, he was very familiar with the temperature and feeling of Bian Jin's palm, Bian Jin held it tightly and did not let go.

"The gap between me and you will continue to narrow, and I will catch up with you."

Lian Li clasped his fingers back, "I'm looking forward to it."

***

The two brothers Jiang Lesheng and Ahao went back the next day.

Lian Li, Bian Jin and Lu Xu sent them off.

Jiang Lesheng was very reluctant, grabbed Lian Li and talked wildly.

"Hey, I also want to stay for a few more days, but our homeroom teacher is too perverted. I asked for a day off because I begged for a long time."

Lian Li: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Lesheng sighed again, "I was always worried about you, it's great to see that you're fine."

Lian Li: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"The next meeting will probably be after the college entrance examination is over. I will definitely hold a very big party at that time. You must come. If you don't come, brother Jin and I will kidnap you again."

Lian Li couldn't laugh or cry, "I will definitely go."

Jiang Lesheng hugged Lian Li suddenly, startled Bian Jin and Lu Xu, he patted Lian Li's back vigorously, "Lian Li, you must be well. We have always been you very well friend."

A warm current surged from his chest to his eyes, Lian Li tried his best to hold back, and smiled, "Well, thank you."

"See you in June."

"See you next time."

May NO.13, Zhou Sijie's coffin was buried, and everything was settled.

Zhou Siyi had been very indifferent for so many days, but when the paper money was scattered all over the sky, she finally couldn't hold back, covered her face and cried for a long time.

Lian Li turned around, Bian Jin grabbed his shoulder and patted him lightly, "Cry if you want to."

Lian Li took a deep breath, "Death is a relief for her, and I don't want to be sad about it."

He said, "Let's go, it's time to go back and tidy up the yard, and I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Well, there are still many things waiting for you to complete."

When cleaning up, there were only Wang Po and them, and they kept busy until it was almost dark before finally finishing the cleaning.

Lian Li sent a lot of meat and vegetables to Wang Po's family as a gift, and kept Zhou Siyi and the others for dinner.

Zhou Siyi drove here by himself, and they are leaving tonight.

"Are you really not going back with us?" This is the fourth time Zhou Siyi asked him, "I can help you deal with matters such as student status, as long as you study."

This is also the fourth time Lian Li has rejected her: "It's really not necessary, I'm fine here, and the people in the village treat me very well. It's only the last half a month, so don't worry about it."

Zhou Siyi sighed, "Okay, then remember to call me if you have anything to do, you saved my number, right?"

"Saved." Lian Li waved to them, "Be careful on the road, the road in the village is difficult to drive at night, remember to slow down."

Jin in the back seat rolled down the car window, "Lian Li."

"Huh?" Lian Li walked a little towards him and bent down.

Bian Jin stretched out his hand, went around the back of his head, and pressed it forward lightly, a kiss landed on his forehead, and he left as soon as he touched it, as faint as if it didn't exist.

Lu Shiyun, who was the co-pilot, was so excited that he grabbed Zhou Siyi's clothes tightly, and said in a low voice excitedly: "I bet right! Bian Jin just likes cousin!"

Even Li Mengmeng touched his forehead with a slow reaction.

Bian Jin said, "See you on the night of the eighth."

Lian Li nodded stiffly, "Okay."

Five minutes after the car drove out, Lian Li finally came to his senses.

Was he kissed by Bian Jin just now?Or in front of Zhou Siyi, Lu Shiyun and Lu Xu?

What was Zhou Siyi's reaction?

do not know.

Forget it, forget it.

Lian Li patted his face to wake himself up.

"Lian Li, you must continue to live well." He said to himself.

***

There is a pond of lotus in the small pond outside Wang Po's house. From budding to full bloom, the college entrance examination battle is finally over.

There is no test center in the village, and Lian Li was taken to the county by the teacher to take the test.

Until the end of the exam at five o'clock in the afternoon, even Li didn't have any sense of reality.

The examination room was very quiet, and everyone's reactions were quite calm, except for occasional cheers, as if they had finished a very normal monthly exam.

Lian Li was the only one in their village who took the college entrance examination. After the exam, he had to go back to school with his teacher.

The teacher is also the head teacher of their class. On the way back, he asked Lian Li: "How did you do in the exam? How difficult is the paper?"

Lian Li said: "I don't know, I don't even remember the contents of the paper."

The teacher smiled and started the car, "It's normal, and many candidates are like this, and some even don't remember that they passed the college entrance examination the next day. I remember that I was dumbfounded after a week of the college entrance examination. Everyone put The college entrance examination is too mysterious, and when I really experience it, I will feel incredible that I have really crossed this hurdle.”

Lian Li: "Yes."

"Go back and have a good sleep. During this period of time, you can play as much as you want, and do whatever you want to do. This is your last time in high school, and you will definitely miss it very much in the future."

"Thank you, Teacher Liu."

Lian Li was sent to the school, and the principal came to greet him in person, and even held a banner at the school gate to warmly celebrate the successful completion of Lian Li's college entrance examination.Lian Li was the only one in their school to take the college entrance examination in the past five years, no wonder the principal was so excited.

He asked some questions that parents often ask after the college entrance examination and let him go back.

Lian Li walked on the way back, but he still didn't come to his senses, his mind was wobbly, feeling that he was not stepping on the ground but clouds, fluttering and flickering.

He suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone and turned it on, as expected, there were many messages and missed calls.

He clicked on "Bian Jin" to call back, and the answer there was very fast.

"Hello? Lian Li, where are you now?"

Lian Li looked around, "A little bit in front of my school."

"Okay, then you go home first, we will arrive in about half an hour."

Lian Li didn't know how to get home. Not long after he got home, there was movement outside the courtyard, and he went out.

A black Audi was parked outside the courtyard, and several people got off the car one after another, Bian Jin, Jiang Lesheng, Lu Xu and Ahao.

Everyone was overjoyed, Jiang Lesheng rushed towards him and gave him a big hug.

"Long time no see, Lian Li! We're here to pick you up!"

The setting sun was just right, and the warm orange light set off the youthful youth.

Like breaking through layers of membranes, Lian Li gradually became sober, and he finally gained a sense of reality.

Bian Jin stepped forward and pulled Jiang Lesheng away, "How long do you want to hug?"

Then he gave Lian Li a very firm hug.

"It's great to meet you, and I hope to see you every day in the future."
