At the beginning of the game, there is a joint burial, and the space is in hand to break through the

At ten o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Li's eldest brother and second brother came and entered the village. The descendants of the Li family knelt on the ground to greet them at the entrance of the village, and the firecrackers were set off. The first and second uncles cleared away the smoke, only to find that her brother-in-law, Old Man Li, was also kneeling , hurriedly helped him up first, and everyone went to the mourning hall.

Some people came to express their condolences intermittently. Mrs. Li's family, as well as some old sisters and juniors in the village, did not get quieter until the sun came up and the tired birds returned to their nests. The three brothers of the Li family were busy and sad at the same time. , it seems that neither of these two things can be delayed, and neither of them waits for anyone.

Night began to fall, the sky was getting dark, but snowflakes were falling again, Tao Xiaoqi frowned, wearing sackcloth, hugging the two daughters, she was really sleepy, and couldn't rest at ease.

After dinner, Old Man Li made another arrangement. The four of them would stay in the first half of the night, while he would stay in the second half of the night. The reason was that he was sleepy now and had to go to bed first.

"Father, just a few of us can come tonight, you go to bed." Li Nanshan said, and the others agreed.

"Just do as I said, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to work on tomorrow, it will only be more hectic than today, you have to stay focused." Old man Li slapped his buttocks and entered the room, swinging his cigarette bag.

Tao Xiaoqi felt more and more that her father-in-law was terribly awake, as if he was hanging by a breath, neither yin nor yang, and there was almost no smell of smoke on his body.

This intuition made her shudder and tremble.

She pushed her husband, "Go in and see Dad."

Li Nanshan went, and came out after a while, "Father fell asleep."

"So fast?"

"Well, those I watched from the window were all snoring." Li Nanshan nodded.

"It must be tired, let dad sleep." Li Nanqiu said lightly.

It snowed until midnight, without stopping.

Old man Li really did what he said, when the twelve o'clock struck, he got up, snoring like thunder one second ago, but now he was awake like daytime.He seriously put on a thick padded jacket for himself. When he went out of the room, he saw a comb used by his wife on the washbasin stand. Somehow he didn’t burn it together. After hesitating, he combed his hair a few times.His already thin hair became even more sparse because it was tidy, and he even dipped the water in the washbasin. This time, every strand of hair was clearly defined and stood upright.

When they came outside, the sister-in-law was cooking noodles for their brothers for supper. The winter night was long and it was supposed to be a good time to sleep, but they were here to watch the night.

Seeing old man Li coming, the sister-in-law brought over a bowl of noodles.

"Then eat a bowl, and after eating the noodles, you all go back to sleep, and replace me tomorrow morning." Old Man Li said.

The brothers looked at their father, as if it was the same as before, but also seemed different.

"Father, did you get a haircut?" the second child asked.

Old man Li shook his head, "No."

"Go back to bed after eating, there is still work tomorrow, your mother should also be quiet, tomorrow will be lively."

When everyone heard this, the exhaustion and drowsiness came up, and the eldest and the second went back to their rooms to sleep.

"Father, I will accompany you again." Li Nanshan said.

Old man Li didn't speak, and he didn't chase the third child away, he pulled a chair and sat beside Mrs. Li, and tucked the quilt for her.

The surroundings were silent, the snow was falling silently, the old man Li and his son hardly spoke, maybe it was too late at night, or maybe they were all very tired, Li Nanshan was about to fall asleep sitting on the stool, staggered, Woke up again.

Old man Li glanced at his son with a slight complaint, "I told you to go to sleep, if you don't listen, when you grow up, my words won't work anymore."

Li Nanshan hurriedly explained, "Father, I will stay with you for a while."

"Stay if you want, it's almost dawn, and it's only a few hours..." Old man Li babbled, his voice was not loud, some words reached Li Nanshan's ears, and some words he didn't hear.

He felt that he was too sleepy, so he pulled away the chair and told Old Man Li, and he would come right away after washing his face.

"Nanshan~" Old man Li suddenly stopped his son.

"Father, I'm here, tell me." Li Nanshan turned around.

"Don't use cold water, use some hot water, and catch a cold carefully, you can't get sick again." Old man Li explained without thinking.

"Okay." Li Nanshan agreed, with infinite bitterness in his heart.

********
Li Nanqiu squinted for an hour, looking at the dark night outside, the snowflakes fluttered lightly in the sky and the earth under the light, she got up, thinking about sending a bed blanket to her father.

Tao Xiaoqi shared the bed with her, and when she woke up, she woke up too, so she simply got up and went with her.

"Sister-in-law, go to sleep." Li Nanqiu said.

"It's okay, Nanshan is outside." Tao Xiaoqi said.

The two carried the blankets and walked into the yard. Plain cloth was hung on three sides of the mourning hall, leaving only a blank space at the opposite door. When Xiaoqi and Nanqiu walked there, they saw their father, old man Li sitting upright. On the stool, the body is straight, eyes are closed, lips are pursed, both hands are holding their mother's hand, motionless.

A few flakes of snow fell on his forehead, but it hadn't melted yet, so it was obvious that it had just fallen.

"Father?" Li Nanqiu called out, his voice already trembling.

"Father?" Tao Xiaoqi also called out.

"Father!" Li Nanshan came back after washing his face, and knelt down with a plop.

Suddenly there is an old man's heart, looking back at the mountains and rivers, it is already autumn, and the two lovesicknesses are drenched in snow, and this life is counted, and they will grow old together.

Old man Li, Li Maogen left with his wife.

The next day, relatives, friends, fellow villagers and neighbors came to kowtow to express their condolences according to the rules of the previous day.

Watching this scene, Tao Xiaoqi always thought it was a joke, very funny, just like his father-in-law made a joke with everyone, but he was always a scrupulous, timid and conscientious person all his life. Serious, even when living with his own mother-in-law and aunt, he never joked for half a minute. Finally, when he left, he made a big joke with everyone, as if to let future generations remember their father, their grandpa, and their grandpa Also a funny and humorous person.

He was humorous, and cried miserably for his children and grandchildren. First he lost his mother and then his father. It would be difficult for anyone.

The cemetery was widened, and another coffin was urgently ordered. Everything was exactly as what Old Man Li said the night he left, and they were even busier.

Too busy to be sad, too late to shed tears, I just want to let my parents go as far as possible.

Tao Xiaoqi suddenly envied her mother-in-law, who lived under her husband's control and under his protection all her life. She loved her deeply without saying a word. The old man was afraid that his wife would be lonely on the road to Huangquan, so he gave up his will to live and went with her.She didn't know how much thought it took to end it, to let go of everything and walk without any worries, but Old Man Li did it.

Daxue gave birth for a week, and for seven days in a row, the mountains and plains were covered with white snow, and Tao Xiaoqi fell ill just like that. She thought from the bottom of her heart that it was caused by the snow.

For the first seven days of her in-laws, she didn't go because she was ill. Li Nanshan took his two daughters to pay homage to his parents, their grandparents.

The first seven of Mantou Village are always grand, and the erhu and suona are invited, but Tao Xiaoqi did not go, but also heard the whimpering of the erhu and the sobbing of the suona.There is no one who can't cry with erhu, no soul that can't be sent away by suona, Tao Xiaoqi clutches the quilt and leans against the head of the bed, her heart is desolate and empty.

Just like a person cannot lift himself up, no one can end the cycle of fate. In a sense, people live to leave.
