The Red Chamber Collection

Life will never be smooth. This year, there was a sudden heavy rain, which lasted for many days without stopping.

The crops in the field were destroyed in the violent storm, and many people had no harvest.

The most unfortunate ones are Yang Dagui's parents.Because the house at home is made of earthen walls, the foundation is not based on stones, so the walls began to peel off.

Yang Dagui's father felt bad in the middle of the night, so he hurriedly called his wife.But it was too late, the dirt was falling down, and at the moment when he was lying on top of the wall, his father picked up the one-year-old boy, Xiao Huzi, and threw him out of the window.

The whole house fell down, and there was a huge sound, like an earthquake.The sleeping neighbor Zhen Qiunian was awakened by the shock, not knowing what happened.Get up in a hurry and run out with an umbrella.By lightning, I saw that Yang Dagui's house had collapsed.Not caring too much, he threw away the umbrella and shouted.

The farm dogs began to bark.Almost all the men and women in the village got up.

He heard Zhen Qiunian yelling hysterically: "Come on, save people, old man Yang's house is on the ground!" As soon as he said that, he and his son, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law started running to Yang's house.

The people who lived nearby heard the yelling clearly, and were startled, really afraid of something.They all ran in a panic and shouted: "Come on, let's die!" First a few, and then the whole village became restless.People came running.

The child was still sound asleep when he was thrown out.The sudden rain hit his body, and the pain from being thrown on the firewood made him cry unceasingly.No one is allowed to teach anyone, Zhen Qiunian's mother-in-law picked up the naked child, put it in her arms, and ran home.

Wiped the water off the child with a towel, and hurriedly covered it under the quilt. The cry of the child never stopped.Just live.The mother-in-law thought, hurriedly coaxing her sleepy eight-year-old daughter, and ran into the rain by herself.

A man from the village, surrounded by darkness, was busy poaching people.Only the lightning could clearly see the general appearance of the Yang family.Guessing where the couple slept, all the adults were concentrated there.

But everyone knows it in their hearts.The hope of living here is slim.But even if there is still a glimmer of hope.Also try hard to dig out.Even a corpse cannot suffer under it.

After two or three hours, the couple was dug out.Many people had blood on their hands.

People covered his two bodies with raincloth.All of them had red eyes and didn't speak for a long time.At this time, someone reminded me in a low voice that the mud house had no stone foundation.Don't stay here anymore, go back and ask the children and the elderly to come out.

Many people left.

Zhen Qiunian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home.The child is still crying.The voice has become hoarse.

The men stood by the corpse, letting the rain hit them.It was dawn and the rain stopped.No one was sleeping, and one by one came out of the house.Standing silently beside the corpse.As early as when the body was dug out.A young child has already informed Yang Dagui and his wife in Wangjiazhuang.

Wang Fu'an was woken up, and when he heard this, he froze all of a sudden.The mother-in-law cried.Busily dragged him to find Yang Dagui Peach Blossom.

Yang Dagui's Taohua almost frantically ran home.Wang Fu'an and his wife followed.

The grounds are full of people.Yang Dagui Taohua watched the tragic situation where the home was gone and the old man was smashed to the ground again.Peach Blossom has already cried and muddled through.Yang Dagui knelt there.But he couldn't cry.

Many people were anxiously urging him: "Cry, cry! Cry out, don't hold back."

Yang Dagui is like a woodcarving.

The women are busy picking peach blossoms.Taohua woke up, crying miserably, no matter how tough the men present were, they shed tears.

Those who die are already dead, and those who are alive will live.Yang Dagui doesn't cry, which is disturbing.If you don't do it well, you will become obsessed.

Mother-in-law Zhen Qiunian thought of something and hurried home to bring her child.The child, wearing baggy clothes, burst into tears when he saw his parents.When Yang Dagui saw his son, he hugged him, and with a cry, he knelt down in front of his parents and cried loudly. The crying was ugly, but the worries in people's hearts were put down.

Wang Fu'an was sad, he couldn't bear to look directly at his in-laws.He hurriedly cupped his hands and said to the neighbor: "Please help, where is the coffin near?"

Yang Dagui's family agreed to go.Wang Fu'an wanted to use the money, so he asked his mother-in-law to go back to discuss with Zijuan and get one or twenty taels.He also temporarily asked the master of the village to build a shed and make a mourning hall.

The people in the village thought, this is a matter of the village, but what would it be like to ask relatives to come and talk about it?It would be strange not to be scolded to death for speaking out!

Yang Dagui, an elder in his family, stepped forward and started making inquiries.He asked someone to invite a Feng Shui master, and chose a seat in the Yang family cemetery.A dozen middle-aged people went there, and they took turns digging a hole in several shifts.Then someone made a torch and went to the maker's shop to make paper figurines.

Wang Fu'an had used up all the loose silver on his body, and was expecting his wife to bring it over.But behind the mother-in-law, Zijuan Li Xiao followed with six or seven mother-in-laws and adults.People looked at Zicuckoo's clothes from a distance, and knew that she was the girl of the Lin family.

It turned out to be a circle, and one after another dodged a way.Zijuan came over and saw that Taohua was hoarse from crying, so she helped Taohua to shed tears.He also asked the mother-in-law to hug the crying child who was still in Yang Dagui's arms.

Seeing that it was Zicuckoo and Li Xiao who brought people here, Yang Dagui's peach blossoms seemed to have some support in his heart, and his crying was even more wailing.Zicuckoo asked what happened while crying.Then he said to Wang Fu'an: "Dug out the buried things here, and take away what you can take away. The lady said, first settle down in Lin's mansion. She told the Taohua couple to hold on. If you need anything, just say, Miss Nevermind!"

These reassuring words comforted Yang Dagui Taohua a lot.The people who brought it started to get busy.Those who help at least give people food, and the woman brought by Zijuan starts to clean up the smashed dishes.But nothing worked, it was all smashed.

Yang Dagui's uncle sent people to fetch pots and pans from his house, but it was not enough, so several other families brought them.Cook in the open air over a fire.

Zhen Qiunian said: "I'm afraid it will rain again, go to my house to light a fire and cook!"

Zijuan said, "my lord, is this funeral?"

Zicuckoo knows that most people don't want to.It is different from happy event.Zhen Qiunian said: "After the natural disaster, why are you still talking about those troublesome things? This brother Yang was talking to me yesterday, so in a blink of an eye?"

Zhen Qiunian wiped away tears.People silently transported pots and pans to Zhen Qiunian's house.Zicuckoo is grateful.In the face of real adversity, people's kindness is above all else.Even if there are contradictions on weekdays.And at this moment, who doesn't help?Everyone's heart is sad.

The two coffins were transported by bullock cart.There is no need to ask for Yang Dagui's opinion.This is a man with no idea.

The relatives of the Yang family were basically notified, and within a day, they were basically all there.Yang Zhenzhuang's family began to live separately from these relatives.Especially for people like Zijuan, the people of Yang Zhenzhuang treated them as VIPs.Thoughtful everywhere.

Taohua originally persuaded Zijuan to go back: "Miss, where can I leave you?"

"Miss asked me to settle this matter and go back. The workshop. Miss is managing it herself. Xinghua is also serving her, and her mother-in-law is taking care of it. It's fine. I've wronged her for two days." Zijuan said.

Yang Dagui didn't come out of his sadness at this time.Eyes glazed over.A good home, if you say no, it will be gone.Good people, just leave as soon as you say.Only now did Zhen Qiunian's mother-in-law intermittently narrate what happened to Yang Dagui: "Your father and mother. At the last moment, they still wanted to throw the child out. Hey. Natural disasters, there is no way?"

On the morning of the third day, the coffin was lowered to the ground.Yang Dagui jumped down from the tomb like crazy, and refused to come up.Holding the coffin and howling.No one can persuade.

Zijuan said: "Is there any way, aunt and aunt can't survive. Don't do this, let them go at ease. You look at the child. This is what aunt and aunt took with their lives. You have to raise him .The hour has come. There must be no delay."

Yang Dagui still refused to come up, but Zijuan winked, Li Xiaohe and one of his descendants pulled him up by force.The helpers began to bury the soil.

There are several elders, while admonishing Yang Dagui, they comfort him at the same time.In helplessness and pain, Yang Dagui was sent back to the village.

A meal was arranged for everyone, but no one drank.According to the usual rules, if the old man went to wait for the coffin to be lowered to the ground, the master would ask the busy people to drink, also to dilute the sadness.

However, Yang Dagui's parents, good people, were taken away by God.This kind of sadness is not the sadness of Yang Dagui alone, but will permeate the hearts of all kind people.One month or two months lingering.Only time can heal the wound.

After noon, everything is done.Zicuckoo took Yang Dagui and the two of them back to Wangjiazhuang.

Zijuan said to Wang Fu'an: "The two of them are staying at your house for the time being. In the current situation, it is not suitable to live in the Lin Mansion. Girls sometimes laugh together."

Wang Fuan understood and nodded.

Zijuan passed by, and Li Xiao's mother came again, sitting and talking.Relatives have gone, and others will chat with them, so as to relieve the sadness in their hearts.Yang Dagui didn't eat for a few days and lay in bed all day.When Daiyu heard about it, she came to visit him.

"You don't eat, how can you do it? The child still has this family, and you need to earn money to support it!"

"Miss, my parents are gone, how can I have a home!" Yang Dagui cried.

"People are at home, why is there no home? You have to be strong, you are the pillar of the family. If you fall, can the peach blossoms support the family? What about the child?" Daiyu said: "There is no way for people Come back. If it’s a house, don’t be too sad. After a while, I’ll be exhausted, so I’ll borrow you first to build a house. You have to get up and eat. I’m getting more and more busy with my affairs. And you, you can't delay my business!"

Hearing what Daiyu said, Yang Dagui felt a little apologetic in his heart, and it was Daiyu's intention that Zijuan brought someone to help.Parents' affairs, even if they don't do this, I don't think it's so appropriate to handle it by myself when I grow old.

Yang Dagui cried: "Miss, I will go to the mansion tomorrow to work!"

Daiyu said: "Who wants you to go at this time? These days, you don't have to go, I will naturally arrange for others."

Yang Dagui is honest, hearing what Daiyu said, although he felt sad, he said: "Miss, do you want me?"

"Why don't you? You are like this, I just want you, and you still have the strength to do things?" Daiyu said, and said to Zijuan who was standing aside: "Go and ask the mother-in-law to come and cook for them. I don’t go anywhere, just watch them eat.”

Zijuan took the order, and the mother-in-law came quickly and made noodles for him, with eggs nestled in them.Li Xiaotaohua ate half a bowl with difficulty.Daiyu didn't force them any more.It's easy to be able to eat, and you have to come a little bit.This sadness, did it pass in a day or two?

Wang Fuan and his wife came over to thank Daiyu.Daiyu said: "You don't mind, I said it's so important, just to let him stop thinking about it, sometimes he can't think about it. By saying this, he can let him know that there are still many things for him to do. That diverts his target."

Wang Fu'an's mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Miss, we can all see that, and only the young lady can come up with such an idea and be able to suppress him!" L
