When we returned to Pingyang City, Li Ning and I did not stop. Zhang Shibo drove and waited at the station and took us straight to Zhaolin City.
Liu Longyun's body was buried in the yard of Lin's house. After Lin Xihong came back from the black market, he asked Zhang Shibo to renovate the house in his hometown. The roof was as high as the neighbors on the left and right, and Liu Longyun was given to the old house.
The family comes back to stay for a few days every now and then. Now Lin Yuanyuan and her second uncle's family have moved away. The Lin family is well-known in the village, so there is no problem.
After getting out of the car, Li Ning and I first kowtowed three times in front of Liu Longyun's memorial tablet, and then asked Zhang Shibo to get a basin. Zhang Shibo didn't react for a while, so he handed me a small aluminum basin.
…
Liu Yongyun's bowl is three to four meters thick and long, so the small basin of miso may not fit in it.
I just put Liu Longyun in a coil, and the wash basin on the steps was not big enough. I walked around the house in the yard several times, and finally locked it on the iron pot on the stove.
"Brother-in-law, can I use that pot?"
I pointed at the iron pot and asked Zhang Shibo. Li Ning just dug up Liu Longyun's body, hung it around his neck and held it in his hands, with an excited look on his face.
"……ah?"
Zhang Shibo looked shocked, took out his mobile phone and said to call Lin Yuanyuan and ask about Lin Xihong.
I watched him suddenly become nervous and walk to the front yard holding the phone in his hand.
"Hey! Wife, ask dad, Li Ning and Qijin are going to stew Mr. Liu!"
Li Ning and I looked at each other...Brother-in-law, have you misunderstood?
When he came back from the phone call, Zhang Shibo was a little embarrassed and asked us to wait while he drove out to buy a big basin.
"How about you put Mr. Liu down? Let's go out and sit for a while?"
"Where to put it?"
I glanced at the iron pot. Li Ning carried Liu Longyun's body into the back room.
"Qijin, come here and lay the kang. The kang is too hard, so don't hit Mr. Liu."
I threw down the rag in my hand to wipe the pot and thought about Li Ning's troubles. No matter how hard the kang is, can it be as hard as the soil?
After putting Mr. Liu away, Li Ning and I sat on two big rocks at the door. There was not much activity in the fields in June, and there were always people passing by the door who had returned from the fields.
"Are you two relatives of the Lin family?"
The old lady wearing boots and a green scarf carried a shovel into the yard diagonally opposite the Lin family's house, and quickly folded it out again.
"Ah! Yes, I am Lin Yuanyuan's younger brother."
"Oh Yuanyuan has moved to Pingyang City now. Why didn't you call when you came?"
"Auntie, I called. My brother-in-law will be back in a moment."
Maybe we didn’t look like bad people, so the old lady sat down next to me.
"I am the second aunt Yuanyuan, you also call me the second aunt!"
Among the three brothers Lin Bingfu, he alone gave birth to three sons. The other two families have more than ten children, 80% of whom are in the village. Lin Xihong is the youngest of the entire old Lin family of that generation. It can be said that there are many children in the village. They are all Lin Yuanyuan's uncle and aunt.
The second aunt in front of us was very talkative. Within half an hour, Li Ning and I almost knew who lived on the entire street, who was in the family, and what had happened to everyone.
"Hey... that old lady Yuanyuan, don't tell her anything, she'll be so mouth-watering!"
A woman in a floral shirt walked over from a distance. She looked similar to Xu Yulan. The second aunt immediately whispered in my ear to talk about her.
It turns out that the second aunt and the old aunt are both from Master Lin Yuanyuan's family, and their family always fights every day in the village.
"Don't you have second sister-in-law for dinner?"
The old lady came over, stopped, patted herself, and sat next to Li Ning.
"Hello, old lady!"
Li Ning lowered his head to hide his smile and stood up to say hello.
"Hey? Whose child are you? Why didn't I recognize you?"
After chatting at the door with the two ladies for more than two hours, Zhang Shibo finally came back, along with Lin Yuanyuan, Tangtang, and Xu Yulan.
"Why did you buy such a big basin? Give Tangtang a bath? I have a basin at home, why don't you buy another one!"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, aren't you two busy?"
Xu Yulan was very happy to see the two of them. She put Tangtang on the ground and the three women came together. I felt like spittle flew into each other's mouths.
"Sugar baby!"
I clapped my hands and tried to open my arms, but Tangtang rushed over and put her arms around my neck, asking me to show her the big snake.
"Hey - where is the snake? Don't take your children to see that thing, you can pick it away with a stick!"
The second aunt was frothing at the mouth, but she still glanced at us from the corner of her eyes, but the snake was really hard to pick.
As soon as Tangtang entered the door, she saw a big green snake on the kang. Her eyes lit up and she reached out to touch the snake's head.
This kid is really full of energy.
Tiger? Thinking of what Li Ning said before about Ao Ya, she is a dragon, why is she so tigerish? I couldn't help but start to guess again, could Tangtang be the reincarnation of the little dragon girl from the Eighth Prince's family?
"You're so fucking stupid!"
A familiar voice sounded in my mind, when did the big golden dragon come back? He is so cruel. I don’t even know whether he is there or not. He eavesdrops on my thoughts all day long. What privacy do I have?
It's just that after not seeing each other for more than half a year, this big golden dragon has learned to curse, and he has learned it badly!
"Who wants to hear your little thoughts?"
"What about you Gaha now?"
