September 5th was rainy.
Uncle Ping leaned against the door and hummed leisurely.
From time to time, he glanced at the door of the mansion.
"Hey!" He opened his pants, looked at them, and muttered, "It's really unlucky. This nail is so long, it even scratched my pants."
He patted his pants and said angrily: I hate it so much.
"Hey! After cleaning it, give it to Aiju to patch it up." His mind suddenly changed.
He said excitedly: Yes, let’s do it like this.
He was packing the clothes on his body with both hands and looking straight at the door of the house.
He saw someone coming outside the door of the mansion.
He shouted: Hello! You are not from our house, why are you in our house!
This man walked up to Uncle Ping and called out: Uncle Ping, right?
Uncle Ping looked at the person in front of him and thought to himself: Could this person be an acquaintance? He could still call him by his name, but there was no such person in his house, and he didn't know him either...
"Your name is Uncle Ping!" the man reiterated:
Uncle Ping said in shock: My name is Uncle Ping, what can I do for you?
The man responded: Please take me to see Uncle Fan.
"Who are you? Who is Uncle Wan?" Ping Bo asked:
The man replied: "Uncle Wan" is called Yuan Wan. He is one year younger than my father, so I call him uncle. I came to see him today because of something urgent.
Uncle Ping moved the stool and said with a smile: Sit down quickly, sit down quickly.
The man touched the bamboo hat on his head and said, "No, no, I won't sit down. It's important to see Uncle Wan."
Uncle Ping said: Don't panic, don't panic, I will let you see him when you get here.
The man continued: The matter is urgent, I must see him immediately.
Ping Bo said: Why is it so urgent?
The man said: Uncle Wei's mother passed away.
Pingbo rushed to ask: When did it happen?
The man whispered: Just the morning before yesterday.
Uncle Ping took an umbrella and said, "It's weird. When she celebrated her birthday last year, I was still nagging you Uncle Fan, and your Uncle Fan even said that his mother was in good health."
This person echoed: She was fine the past few days, the day before yesterday!
Uncle Ping took a step forward and sighed: "One breath of human life" and it was gone in the blink of an eye.
The man then said: Who says it’s not the case? What's more, it's an old man. The old man is like a candle in the wind - it goes out at the drop of a hat.
Uncle Ping called out: She left too fast. She might as well live another ten or eight years.
The man replied: How can people decide on matters of life and death?
"Okay, Uncle Fan will live in front." Uncle Ping shouted:
This man walked over and was about to knock on the door.
Uncle Ping shouted: Xiaowenzi, Xiaowenzi, open the door quickly.
Uncle Wan held the door open and said, "Xiao Pingzi, you are calling for death!"
Uncle Ping replied: You guessed it right.
"Uncle Wan, I have found you." The man called:
When Uncle Fan saw the man in front of him, he smiled and said: Dunzi, why are you here! Come and sit in the house.
Dunzi took off his bamboo hat and stepped in.
Uncle Ping shouted: "You guys chat, I'm going to look after the door."
Dunzi said: Uncle Ping, walk slowly.
Uncle Ping smiled and walked straight towards the door of the mansion.
Uncle Fan poured the tea and asked: Dunzi, have you eaten?
Dunzi replied: I have eaten.
Uncle Fan pushed a cup of tea towards Dunzi and said: Dunzi, we are all from the same village, you don't need to be polite to me! If you haven’t eaten yet! I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl!
Dunzi took a sip of tea and replied: "That's really not necessary."
Uncle Fan replied: "Then I won't force you."
"Dunzi, you haven't been to Feng Mansion yet!" Fan Bo continued:
Dunzi continued: Today is my first time coming to Feng Mansion!
Fan Bo said excitedly: I'll just say it! Our village is some distance away from Feng Mansion, so most people won’t come here to play!
Dunzi interrupted: I didn't come here to play.
Uncle Fan said: "After you finish drinking this cup of tea, I will show you around."
Dunzi replied: It’s raining...
"It doesn't matter if it rains, Feng Mansion is very big!"
"Uncle Wan, your mother passed away."
"What!"
"Your mother passed away the morning before yesterday."
Fan Bo laughed and said: Are you kidding me?
Dunzi said: I'm not kidding you.
Fan Bo was stunned for a moment and said: Impossible, my mother's body has never been healthy!
Dunzi shouted: "Uncle Wan, the old man is like the sun in the west. He will disappear if he doesn't."
Fan Bo couldn't control his inner emotions, and tears flowed down his face.
A quarter of an hour······
He wiped away his tears and choked up: How did my mother die?
Dunzi called out: Grandma-in-law left very quickly. When she went to feed the pigs in the morning, she suddenly felt dizzy. So she leaned on the door of the pigsty to rest. When Aunt Zhihua came to her side, her whole body fell down. Paralyzed, as soon as she got home...
"My mother is so old and she is still allowed to feed the pigs alone." Uncle Fan scolded:
Dunzi continued: "Uncle and grandma went together with Aunt Zhihua."
Uncle Fan complained: It's all my fault for being unfilial and failing to let my mother live a good life. I didn't even see her for the last time.
"Uncle Wan, don't blame yourself too much. I can't blame you for this kind of thing. My uncle and grandma left in a hurry!" Dunzi advised:
Fan Bo cried and said: "Others always say, "Send it to the end, send it to the end." I am her only son, but I, I am ashamed to be the son of a human being.
Dunzi whispered: Uncle Wan, how to get to Aiju's house!
Uncle Fan held the table and said, "Don't be anxious, Dunzi!" My mother passed away, so I had to go over and ask for leave, and also inform the old lady and them.
"By the way, Aunt Zhihua ordered me to invite the old lady and the others to attend the funeral banquet of my uncle and mother-in-law." Dunzi said blankly:
Uncle Fan asked: Has the day for my mother's burial been decided?
Dunzi responded: It's the ninth day of this month.
Uncle Fan stood up and said: Time is tight, I will go find the old lady.
Dunzi called out: Uncle Wan, I'm going to see the old lady too.
Uncle Fan ordered: "Stay here and don't wander around!" If you are thirsty, pour yourself some tea. I will be back in a moment.
Dunzi replied: OK.
Uncle Fan walked out.
Suddenly, Uncle Fan came to the door of the old lady's room and shouted: "Old madam, old madam, the servant has something to talk to."
"Come in, come in and talk." The old lady's voice came out of the house.
Uncle Fan pushed open the door and walked quickly into the house.
When the old lady saw Uncle Fan walking into the house, she called out: "Uncle Fan, come and sit down."
Mr. Feng, who was standing nearby, quickly moved the stool.
Fan Bo thanked him and said, "Thank you, young master!"
Mr. Feng responded: There is no need to be so polite between us!
"Are you thirsty or not? If you are thirsty, just pour yourself some tea." Mr. Feng continued:
Uncle Fan shook his head and replied: The slave is not thirsty.
The old lady asked: "Wanzi, why did you come to see me?"
Fan Bo's mood suddenly became very heavy, and he hesitated and said: I, I, my mother...
"Xiao Wanzi, why are you stammering? If you have something to say, just say it." Feng Caizhu shouted:
Fan Bo failed to hold back his tears, and his eyes instantly became wet with tears.
Lord Feng saw Fan Bo in tears and said: Look at you like this, you have encountered some obstacles that you can't get over!
"Guier (Feng Caizhu), let Wanzi speak for himself." The old lady called:
Uncle Fan held back his cry and said hoarsely: My mother, my mother passed away the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday.
The old lady poked her ears and shouted: "Wanzi, please speak louder."
Uncle Fan opened his voice and said: My mother passed away the morning before yesterday.
The old lady squinted her eyes, looking very sad, and muttered: Old friends are walking that way one by one, and I feel very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's time for me to leave.
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Feng rich man said:
The old lady called out, "Don't worry, your dear. My mother has already seen clearly how life and death are dealt with. Life and death depend on fate, and wealth or not depends on heaven. I just can't bear to see my old friends leaving one by one."
Although Wei's mother and Wanzi's mother have never met.
"Happy to the old lady, she will live a long life, and one hundred years plus one." Fan Bo bowed and said:
The old lady thanked her: Thank you Wanzi for your kind words!
However, I really lived to be a hundred years old and have not yet gone to heaven.
I'm afraid, I have to replace all the toilet doors in the house.
"Mom, how can you say that! It's my son's blessing that you live a long life, and it's the blessing of our family." Rich Master Feng continued:
"Old madam, young master, Zhihua has sent someone here to invite you over for a drink at home." Uncle Fan said:
The old lady sighed: Zhihua has a heart.
Feng Caizhu said: Xiaowenzi, you will go to the accounting room to collect 4 ingots of silver later...
"No, no, it can't be done like this." Fan Bo said:
Feng Caizhu accused: Xiao Wanzi, why are you so polite to me? Which one of us is with whom? Your mother is just like my mother. Now that your mother has passed away and I can’t go to the funeral, I’ll send you some money. Isn’t that an exaggeration?
Besides, a few taels of silver is not much, so consider it my molecular money!
Uncle Fan put a hand on his chest, bowed and said: Yuan Fan is grateful for the young master's kindness.
"Wanzi, when will your mother be buried?" the old lady asked:
Fan Bo replied: The date is set on the ninth day of this month.
The old lady whispered: The ninth day of this month.
Uncle Fan called: Master, I want to ask you for a few days' leave. My mother...
"Xiao Wanzi, you don't need to say anything. Your decision to go home is entirely up to you. Do you want to stay at home for half a month or a month..." Rich Master Feng stretched out his hand and interrupted. road:
"Thank you, old lady! Thank you, young master!" Uncle Fan thanked him again:
The old lady responded: Why are you thanking me!
Uncle Fan continued: Thank you, old lady and young master, for doting on our family!
"I have to go find Aiju, so I'll take my leave first." Fan Bo continued:
The old lady advised: "Wanzi, don't be too sad!" You have to take care of yourself!
Uncle Fan bowed and walked straight out the door.
Feng Caizhu shouted: Xiao Wanzi, be careful on the road and take care of yourself.
In a blink of an eye, Fan Bo ran to the door of the third lady's room and shouted: Love chrysanthemum, love chrysanthemum...
"Why are you so loud! Be careful to scare the third lady." Aiju opened the door and whispered:
Uncle Fan lowered his voice and said, "Go and complain to the third lady. I will explain it to you in detail when I get to your house."
Aiju replied: You know my character, just say whatever you want! What I don't like the most is someone hiding something in front of me.
Uncle Fan bit his lip and replied: Okay! You go pack your things first, I'll tell you on the way.
Aiju then said, "Then you wait for me at the gate of the house, and I'll go talk to the third lady."
She turned her head and walked straight to the back room.
When the third lady saw Aiju coming back, she asked: Sister Aiju, what did Uncle Fan ask you to do?
Aiju said: I don't know, he said, he will tell me on the way, I come in and tell you to leave, I want to go home!
The third lady responded: "Uncle Fan asked you to go home, there must be something going on!"
Aiju replied: I also think there is something wrong.
And, it’s a big deal.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious!
"Sister Aiju, it's almost time to finish work today. You should go back first." The third lady called:
Aiju said: But, my sister has a big belly, how can you tell me to rest assured!
The third lady stood up and said, "Sister Aiju, don't worry!" My belly hasn't had enough life yet and it doesn't get in the way.
Aiju moved her steps and shouted: Sister, you have to be careful.
"Aiju, the third lady asked me to take care of you." Afeng shouted:
Aiju turned her head and said with a smile: Sister Afeng, you are here.
The third lady touched her belly and called out: Sister Afeng.
"Third Madam, don't move!" Ah Feng stretched out his hand to help the Third Madam.
Aiju said: Sister Afeng is here. Sister Afeng will help me take care of the third lady. I will go home.
Afeng said: "Aiju, you can go, the old lady specially sent me here to take care of the third lady."
"Why! The old lady knew I would leave." Aiju responded:
Ah Feng replied: Of course I know! Fan Bo's mother passed away...
"Ah! My mother-in-law passed away." Aiju said in surprise:
Ah Feng replied: You don’t know!
"Sister Afeng, I'm leaving." Aiju hurried out the door.
Panting, she ran to the door of Fan Bo's room and called: "Uncle Fan."
Uncle Fan clasped the bag and said: Aiju, why did you come to me? Didn’t we say we’d meet at the door?
Aiju stepped into the door and called: Uncle Fan, let's go.
Dunzi looked at Aiju and asked: Uncle Wan, is she Aiju?
Uncle Fan nodded and said, "It's her."
"Aiju, he is a young man from my village. His nickname is Dunzi. His father and I were playmates who grew up together." Fan Bo introduced:
"Uncle Fan is joking, I'm almost forty years old, I'm not young anymore." Dunzi argued:
Aiju responded: Brother Dunzi, you are a little older than me.
Dunzi smiled and said: Really!
Aiju continued: "Uncle Fan just said that you were young, and he was not wrong at all, no matter how he said it!" You are no bigger than Fan Bo.
"Aiju, please lead the way! It's a rainy day and the road is not easy to walk on." Fan Bo shouted:
Aiju said: "Uncle Fan can really hold his anger. Your mother left and you didn't say a word to me."
Uncle Fan replied: I planned to tell you on the way, but I didn’t think so!
Aiju said: Didn’t you say earlier that your mother-in-law is in good health? How could she do it so quickly...
"I don't understand either." Fan Bo wiped his nose and kept walking forward.
Dunzi called: Uncle Wan, this door!
Aiju limped and lifted her feet, and responded: Brother Dunzi, you don't have to worry about it, this is Feng's house, it doesn't matter whether the door is locked or not.
Fan Bo turned around and asked: Aiju, where is your rain gear?
Aiju said: I put it in Ping Bo's house.
"Let's go this way (the eaves here are short, and raindrops will fall under the eaves)." Fan Bo handed the umbrella to Aiju.
Aiju said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Fan Bo replied: "You walk slowly, I can reach the other side in one charge."
Aiju took the umbrella and said with a smile: "I'll take it then!"
Fan Bo held his head and ran as hard as he could...
