This time, although it was a bit reluctant, the old lady still put the food on the chopsticks into her mouth.
Chewing the taste in her mouth, the old lady smiled and sat up straight again,
"Eat, watch what I do. Maoren, you can eat too..." the old lady chewed, holding chopsticks in her hand, turned her head and said to Chen Maoren.
"Hey, mom..." Chen Maoren was a little happy to see his mother eating, picked up the food with chopsticks, put it in the rice bowl, obeyed his mother's words, lowered his head and ate,
And at this moment,
"... Pata..."
The chopsticks collided with the edge of the table, and the sound of falling on the ground sounded,
The small voice made the happy atmosphere around the table suddenly stagnate,
"mom!"
Chen Deyi stood up and cried out in a crying voice.
And Chen Maoren's action of squatting on the rice bowl was first a meal, and then he kept stuffing rice into his mouth at a faster speed, tears welled up in his eyes and dripped into the rice bowl.
……
I saw that the chopsticks held by the old lady had slipped from her hands, one hand was hanging down the side of the seat, and the other was resting on the table.
Leaning back, leaning on the back of the chair, with his head hanging backward, his eyes are closed, lifeless, but there is still a smile on his face.
Chen Deyi was crying, his voice piercing, tears poured out and dripped from Chen Maoren's eyes.
……
By the courtyard, Lian Ge quietly watched the scene,
Under the eyes of the sky, the old lady's soul has once again separated from her body.
The soul of the old lady stood by the dining table, looked at the two crying sons, and looked at the unfinished food on the table. After a pause, she still walked away.
"...Old lady, now that your obsession is gone, it's time for you to go on the road."
Lian Ge looked at the soul of the old lady not far in front of him, and took the initiative to break the influence of 'invisibility'.
"Sir, thank you..." The old lady turned around and thanked Lian Ge,
"Go." Lian Ge shook his head, "Calm down, go to the place you should go, there will be ghost messengers to take you to the underworld."
"Thank you..." The old lady thanked again after hearing the sound.
As she spoke, the old lady turned around and took a last look at the two sons who were crying in the yard.
Turning around, the soul of the old lady is heading in the direction of the distant county town, gradually drifting away
……
Watching the soul of the old lady disappear into the distance, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and looked at the people at the dining table in the courtyard again.
at the table,
The two brothers Chen Deyi and Chen Maoren looked at their mother with red eyes,
"...Brother, help me carry my mother...in." Chen Deyi's voice was hoarse, he glanced at Chen Maoren, hesitated, and said aloud, his eyes turned red again while speaking.
"Okay." Chen Maoren looked at his mother, nodded, and fell silent again.
"I'm dragging Mom's shoulders, you can hug Mom's legs." Chen Deyi said again.
Chen Maoren silently cooperated with his younger brother to hug the old lady's leg,
The two carried and lifted their mother's body.
And at this moment, Tao Jiahui, Chen Maoren's wife, also stood up again, and said in a strange tone:
"I've eaten this last meal, so I should go too, so that some people don't like me."
"Tao Jiahui, what are you talking about!" Chen Maoren's accumulated anger suddenly broke out, and he turned around and roared at Tao Jiahui,
"Okay, you still dare to yell at me, Chen Maoren, you have grown up..." Tao Jiahui scolded again with her waist in her hands.
"If you don't want to pass it, just say it, you are willing to come as an old lady, and eat with a dead person. You don't dislike bad luck, but my old lady still thinks bad luck..."
The more she talked, Tao Jiahui seemed to feel that she was standing more rationally, with one hand on her waist and the other pushing Chen Maoren,
"You yell, you keep yelling, why don't you yell at you, yell to your mother, and see if your mother will sit up..."
"Tao Jiahui, if you don't want to stay here, no one will keep you!" Chen Deyi said angrily, "If you want to get out, get out."
"...Okay, you two brothers are working together to bully my mother, right? Chen Maoren, my mother once again, can you go away!" Tao Jiahui said more and more aggressively.
Chen Maoren looked at Tao Jiahui, with anger on his face at first, and then gradually calmed down again.
"Tao Jiahui, get a divorce."
"...What! Chen Maoren, tell my old lady one more time!" Tao Jiahui shouted, raising her voice.
"Let's get a divorce." Chen Maoren said calmly,
"I married into your Chen family when I was in my teens and gave birth to a son for you. You want to divorce my mother now! I will fight with you!"
Tao Jiahui was a little panicked, her voice was soft, and she was about to scratch Chen Maoren's face.
With Chen Maoren's push, Tao Jiahui fell to the ground directly.
"...Damn it, I beat someone, I beat someone to death, the two brothers of the Chen family are going to beat this woman to death... I'm not going to live, I'm not going to live..."
Tao Jiahui threw herself on the ground, splashing and howling crying.
And Chen Maoren just watched indifferently,
"Deyi, take mom inside."
Turning around, Chen Maoren said to Chen Deyi.
Chen Deyi glanced at Tao Jiahui who was splashing on the ground, nodded, and together with his brother, carried his mother's body and walked towards the mourning hall. At the same time, he turned his head and said something to his wife Xiaqin,
"Xiaqin, clean up the food on the table."
Xiaqin nodded and began to clean up the dishes.
Several people were busy with each other, allowing Tao Jiahui to play tricks on the ground.
"...Chen Maoren, you god damn, you have no conscience..."
"Xiaoyuan, go with mom, leave your heartless dad here." Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Tao Jiahui got up from the ground and said to her son.
Hearing this, her son hesitated,
At this time, his wife pulled his clothes.
Then, he turned around, as if he didn't hear his mother's words.
"...Ah, damn it, you have no conscience..."
Tao Jiahui threw herself on the ground again, howling dryly.
Neighbors around heard the sound, opened the doors and windows and leaned out to take a look. Seeing that it was Tao Jiahui, no one paid attention and closed the doors and windows again.
……
Looking at this scene by the courtyard, Lian Ge smiled slightly.
Turning around, Lian Ge walked out of the village without haste.
Chapter 191 Sleepover
"...So Lian Ge, the old lady has no complaints, so... what is the old lady's obsession?"
"Probably a family reunion dinner together."
In the early morning of the next day, Lian Ge woke up at a guest's house and made a video call with Gu Xiaoying.
Lian Ge replied calmly after glancing at the sunlight streaming in from the window of the room.
Listening to Lian Ge's words, Gu Xiaoying fell silent for a while, then nodded,
"Really..."
Saying that, Gu Xiaoying shook her head again, and didn't say any more,
"Lian Ge, what do you think if our children are so unfilial in the future?"
As Gu Xiaoying said, she turned over on the bed,
"Let's whip it with a stick." Lian Ge said with a smile.
"This is not very good." Gu Xiaoying sat up, "Why don't you use bamboo, because the bamboo is broken, it should hurt a little."
"It's okay..." Lian Ge smiled and cooperated,
……
"Boom boom... boom boom boom..."
He talked casually with Gu Xiaoying for a while, and after the call was over, the door was knocked from outside.
"Brother, we cooked dumplings at home, do you think you want to get up and eat some?"
The knock on the door stopped, and a middle-aged man's voice sounded through the door.
"Squeak... squeak."
On the side, the little white mouse lying on the side heard the sound, jumped onto Lian Ge's shoulder again in an instant, stood up on its forelimbs, and yelled at Lian Ge twice.
Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the little white mouse and couldn't help but smile,
"alright."
Put the phone back into his pocket, stood up, opened the door,
"...I don't know, can I get some for this little white mouse."
At the door of the room, stood a middle-aged man, bent slightly, with rough skin on his face, smiling,
Hearing Lian Ge's voice, he turned his head to look at the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, and nodded.
"No problem, brother."
……
After a while, in the main room, at the dining table.
The middle-aged man's wife brought a bowl of boiled dumplings and put them on the table in front of Lian Ge. She also took a plate, filled the dumplings and put them on the ground beside the mouse.
After watching his wife finish all this, the middle-aged man sat opposite Lian Ge and watched with a smile.
"Brother, try it, there is nothing to entertain, only the dumplings made by this family."
Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted it.
"Brother, how does it taste, does it still suit your taste?" The middle-aged man asked aloud.
"pretty good."
"As long as it suits your taste, as long as it suits your taste..." The middle-aged man said with a smile, still sitting in his seat, looking at Lian Ge.
Holding the chopsticks, after finishing a dumpling, Lian Ge put down the chopsticks again.
Looking back at the mice who were eating dumplings around the plate, Lian Ge turned his gaze back to the middle-aged man across the table,
"Thank you brother for your convenience. Let me stay for one night. Sorry for the trouble." Looking at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge took out a hundred-yuan cash from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Brother, you are too polite." The middle-aged man said, reached out to take the banknotes, put them in his pocket, and the smile on his face became more intense.
"When you are away from home, who doesn't have any inconvenience, you say yes, just treat it as your own home, don't be so polite, you can stay for a few days if you want to."
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, picked up the chopsticks again, and shook his head slightly while eating the dumplings in the bowl.
"No, it's enough to bother you all night, so don't bother."
When the middle-aged man heard the words, he didn't hold back anymore, and nodded,
"That's fine, then I won't delay your trip, brother."
The middle-aged man was talking, paused, and continued,
"Brother, if you want to go to the urban area, go out of the village and go in that direction to the urban area. There are buses going to the urban area that way, and one will come every half an hour. "
