Under One: The Dragon's Wife

Chapter 117 Why Brother Seven Can Eat It
I looked at the calm river and said, "I don't have time recently. My family is renovating the house. I don't have many vacations. I have to go back to school."

My uncle sighed: "I don't have a few days to live, and I can't go far. Why don't you take some time to visit me... I beg you to be an uncle."

I couldn't refuse an old man who was half buried in the ground, Jiu'er suddenly said: "It's true that there are only a few days to live..."

My grandma immediately said, "Girl, I'll go with you."

I agreed to my uncle first, and after I hung up the phone, I said to my grandma: "I will go by myself, and you have to watch out for house repairs at home. I am not a child anymore. I know that I can do it myself."

My grandma sighed: "After all, it is your uncle's house, you can help if you can, otherwise you will be blamed, saying that your grandfather and I have worked so hard to raise a family that we don't recognize."

I really wanted to say something back to her whoever wants to say that, but I didn't say it when I got to my lips.

I put away the fishing rod and tidied it up briefly, and asked my grandma to call a tricycle for me. I went to the town and then took a rural bus to the county station. I bought a train ticket to go to the provincial capital, although it was only four or five hours away. It was already one o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the provincial capital and found my uncle's house. For convenience, I changed Jiu'er and Chang Chong back into their original shapes and hid them in my clothes.

I didn't come here for my uncle or aunt, but just for my uncle. A young man who opened the door was a young man about my age. When he saw me, he froze for a moment. I guessed that he was my uncle. grandson, so he smiled politely at him.

He asked who I was looking for, and he let me in after I declared my family name. Their house is also very ordinary, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. It is not a villa or a duplex, but the house price here is worth about 300 million.The young man went to bed late, and everyone else had already rested. I asked his uncle if he had slept, and if he did, I would come back tomorrow.

The reason why I came in the middle of the night was because my uncle's tone was very urgent when I spoke on the phone in the afternoon, and every word I heard correctly was crying, the pleading of a dying person, I really didn't want to delay.

The man said that my uncle went to bed early, so he must have gone to bed early. When I was about to leave, an old and eager voice came from a bedroom: "Is it Xiangling? I'm not frustrated. Why don't you come in?" I have something to tell you."

The man took me in. The room where my uncle slept was full of traditional Chinese medicine smell, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Uncle was lying on the bed and couldn't even sit up by himself, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked much older than my grandma.Maybe it's because my uncle's appearance somewhat resembles my grandma's, but I still have a close feeling for him.

Before talking to me, my uncle sent his grandson away, and then waved to me.I moved a chair and sat in front of the bed, and my uncle tremblingly held my hand: "I know we were sorry for you in the past, and your conditions are poor. Your cousin even asked your parents to borrow money. Your father They didn’t pay back after mom’s accident. Your grandpa called to urge you, but your cousin and the others didn’t do anything about it. They asked your grandpa to come to the provincial capital to collect the money, and even let your grandpa go away at night... and you didn’t get it that year. Money to go to school, your father also came to us, your cousin didn’t borrow it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay it back, but I want to give you money to study, I was already sick at that time, and eating depends on my face, I don’t have money ...I have a lot of things hidden in my heart. It's not a good feeling. Your grandma and I are brothers and sisters. Blood is thicker than water. It's a worldly thing...If we all get married, the relationship will be far away. One generation is not as close as one generation..."

Tears flowed from his cloudy eyes as he spoke, and his tone seemed to be telling his last words, which made me panic.I took a tissue and wiped it for him: "Don't say that it's not your fault that you strangled uncle."

He didn't say much and he had already started to cough, and now he coughed more fiercely, but he still insisted on talking, he said that he was afraid that if he missed this opportunity, he would not be able to swallow that breath until he died, and he felt restless.

I just listened quietly to him, he also said a lot of sadness in his life, others looked at him and said that his son was promising, bought a house and a car in the provincial capital, and married a wife from the city , In fact, only he himself knows the real suffering.

In the end, my uncle told me that no matter how my cousins ​​and aunts came to me, I should ignore them and don't help them, so I must remember.

I don't understand why he said that, but since it was his advice, of course I agreed.

After leaving my uncle’s house, I found a hotel and stayed. If I had been healthy before, I would have rushed back overnight. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m already too sleepy by this time.

When I arrived at the hotel, I wanted to take a shower. Jiu'er turned into a human and said she wanted to wash with me. As soon as I took off my clothes, Jiu'er stared at the two balls on my chest. I was a little embarrassed by her look: "What are you looking at?" ?”

Jiu'er asked curiously, "Why does grandma get bigger when she grows up?"

I touched my lower abdomen and said, "Because the baby is born with milk." No matter how much Jiu'er knows, she has never come to the world. They are all on Changbai Mountain. She and her elder brother usually talk less. Quiet, seldom talk to her, let alone talk to her, it's not convenient.

I thought I could shut Jiu'er's mouth, but she asked me again: "Is this for the baby? Then why does Seventh brother also eat it? Can I eat it?"

I don't know whether to cry or laugh, Jiu'er is a foodie, as soon as she hears that something is edible, she starts to make up her mind.The long worm is really not a thing, and Jiu'er saw it when he was doing something.

I said embarrassingly: "Your seventh brother is... childish... You are too old to eat this."

Jiu'er covered her mouth and smiled: "I'll rub your back for you."

In fact, Jiu'er rubbed my back a few times, and I spent the rest of the time scrubbing her.When I finished washing and went out, Chang Chong was holding my mobile phone. He said that my grandma called just now and said that my uncle had left, and asked me to help him with the funeral if he didn't go back.

I can only save my soul, I don't know how to do funerals, and my uncle and aunt didn't call me personally to ask me to go to the funeral for my uncle, so I don't like myself to post it and say I want to help, I'm not that cheap.

My cousin called me in the morning and said that I was in this business anyway and asked me to help with the funeral. My uncle's last wish was not to be cremated, but to be buried in the village and return to his hometown.It is only now that I know that my uncle and my grandmother's hometown is in Heba Village, but the old house they used to live together has collapsed long ago, and the village chief has redistributed the foundation.

Now that the phone call has been made, I replied with an 'hmm' and said that I would discuss it later.The second time I stepped into my uncle's house, everyone in their family was wearing black clothes with black gauze on their wrists, and the white clothes I wore before, both black and white are suitable for this occasion.
