Chapter 77

Chen Laidi was on the phone at home in a state of desperation.

She just got off work at the moment, and today she took the work clothes that hadn't been washed for a week home to wash, and was busy on the phone as soon as she got home.The overalls didn't bother to be soaked in the bucket, so they were put on the back of the hand.

"Let me tell you, this matter is a bit troublesome! That...that house deed and land certificate don't have my man's name written on it." Chen Laidi's face was full of fear, and she didn't dare to breathe hard.

A disdainful female voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "If you don't write your man's name, what else are you selling? Then there's nothing else to say."

Chen Laidi became anxious when she heard it: "Although this is not my man's name, the house will belong to my man sooner or later?! Then the old woman can be taken to the soil if she is turned up?!" She really wanted that Money, the dilapidated house at home is not comfortable to live in, and she might make a lot of money after selling that large sum of money to start a business!By the time.What house does not have!
"You have a pretty good idea. Don't you have another one in your family? Maybe the old woman reserved a house for her granddaughter, and you can't get a penny." The woman on the other end of the phone chuckled.

When Chen Laidi heard this, she was so excited that she threw her overalls on the ground: "What?! My man is a man! The other one?! You said Yanzi?! She is a woman! That old woman is crazy to destroy the house. Leave it to her! Whose house is not all for men?! I have never seen anyone here who gave land and houses to women! The old Zhao at the end of the village is also the same. Just give the house to the youngest son!"

So she, Chen Laidi, was never afraid that this house would fall on Xiao Yan's head.

"Okay, then don't tell me these things, what are they? Don't talk so much nonsense to me if it's not your man's name! It's a waste of my time! If you are really capable, put the name on the certificate on your Let's talk about the man's name!"

The phone hung up right here, and Chen Laidi stared at the phone.After talking for a long time, her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry. She was so angry that she took the water from the kettle and put it on the pot to boil.While waiting for the water to boil, she became more and more angry, and when the water boiled, the anger in her heart also boiled away!
She was so angry that she called me her man: "Xiao Zhicheng, where are you? Going to work? How much money did you make by going to you all day and all night?! Ah?! You get me and I'll get back! I won't be able to live with you." Have a great day!"

Xiao Zhicheng was moving the goods there, thinking that his wife would not call when she knew he was starting work, so he didn't know if the call was urgent, so he answered with the foreman's blank eyes, and the result was He called to quarrel, and he hung up the phone without saying a word.

In just ten minutes, someone hung up on the phone twice. Chen Laidi was so angry that her throat was tight, and she threw things at home to vent her anger.Anyway, she can't live through this day, so just throw it all away!
In the past few days, Chen Laidi's house has been in a state of chaos. Xiao Zhicheng thought it was something when he came home, but when his wife said that he wanted to sell the old house, he kept silent, let her smash it, and didn't clean it up. Every day, I just find a place where I can lay my feet and go into the house to sleep, and all three meals are settled outside.

The day before Qingming went home, the house was not cleaned up, Xiao Zhicheng still had nothing to say to Chen Laidi on the way, and he didn't even look at her.

Chen Laidi stopped arguing, and was thinking about how noisy she would be when she went home. Your old woman won't leave me a way out, it's okay, it's better to tear your face apart!

On the day Chen Laidi came home, the stele of Xiao Yan's parents was also engraved.

Xiao Yan and grandma watched the workers put up the stele in the cemetery, and waved away after finishing the mantissa.

Zhao Fen got up early and slaughtered the chicken, bought shochu and brought incense, pressed three bowls of rice balls and put them in a straw basket and brought them over.Xiao Yan saw that grandma was carrying a big bag, and immediately took it with distress: "Grandma, you too, you brought so many things by yourself without telling me, just like the next meeting." When grandma brought it over, the big bag was heavy enough, and I don't know how grandma carried it without changing her face.

Zhao Fen took a piece of transparent plastic cloth and spread it on the ground, placed the chickens in the basket in the middle of the cemetery, and said, "Those are folded ingots, take them to the incense table and burn them. There are also some paper clothes, shoes and money. They are all burned, and we will praise the wine later after the worship is over."

The bag in Xiao Yan's hand is not heavy, but it looks big. When she opened it, it was full of ingots, paper clothes, shoes and the like. With the wind behind her back, she lit the lighter in the stone plate made next to the incense table. Ingots.

Zhao Fen came over with a bundle of incense, lit the incense, divided it into three bundles and put them on the incense table: "Yanzi, please light a candle, first remove the paper seal on the top."

"Hey, I know." Xiao Yan took the candle that grandma handed over, and used her fingernails to uncover the paper seal on the top. While the fire was still burning, she stretched out the candle head, and it lit up after a while.

She put the candles on both sides of the incense stick, and Zhao Fen had placed three bowls of rice in front of the chicken, three glasses of wine in front of the rice, and three pairs of chopsticks between the rice and the wine glasses. She greeted her granddaughter: "Okay, Yanzi, come here."

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally felt a little nostalgic. Before that, she had been busy paving the ground, and she didn't feel too much about her parents' cemetery. After all, she came to pay her respects every year.But now looking at her parents' cemetery, she suddenly felt touched, and her heart was instantly empty.

Zhao Fen was pulling Xiao Yan to kneel on the plastic sheet, with two folded thick towels on her knees.

She clasped her hands together and bowed her head while talking in a whisper: "Zhixue, Qiaoyi, old lady, I brought Yanzi to see you... It's been another year, Yanzi is promising, look at the paved floor... I have paid off a lot of debts." , you don’t need to worry about it, just live happily by yourself, and don’t worry about us, Yanzi can take care of others now, she took my wife and I lived a good life in Jiangcheng... Even if the debt is not paid off, you bless Yanzi It's smooth and smooth, so that anyone who wants to harm her will be detoured, and the nobles who can help her will be able to meet her when she goes out... In a few years, it will be easier for the roast suckling pig to come to see you..."

Every year she heard what grandma said was the same, but this year Xiao Yan felt like crying when she heard what grandma said, her nose became hot and her eyes started to sore, but in the end her eye sockets were hot and no tears came out.

Zhao Fen abducted her granddaughter with her hand: "Yanzi, talk to your parents."

Xiao Yan looked at the names of her parents on the tombstone, and her throat choked. After a while, she said: "Dad, Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

After paying their respects to their parents, Xiao Yan and Zhao Fen packed up their things, making sure that the paper ingots on the tray next to the incense table were completely burnt, and they left after praising the wine without even sparks.

On the way home, Xiao Yan was still feeling sad, so Zhao Fen said to her: "Yanzi, why don't we go to the town and buy the ticket first, and go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow?" All the cooking is done, and there is nothing to worry about, and her old sisters have also dropped by the door.

"Alright, everything is done, go back early, let's take a break for a day or two before opening the store, and take care of the new store in a few days." Xiao Yan looked at grandma's slightly tired expression, and cursed secretly in her heart I beat myself several times, I shouldn't let grandma run in and out.

Zhao Fen patted his granddaughter's arm: "What do you want to rest? I'll open the shop first when I get back. Sitting in the shop is enjoyable and I'm not tired. But you want to take a rest. Seeing how tired you are these days, grandma doesn't want to stop , When people are old, they tend to become dull when they stop." In fact, she didn't want to stay in her hometown, mainly because she didn't want to see her troublesome daughter-in-law.

Xiao Yan guessed that grandma was afraid of being bored, so she promised her: "Okay, we will open the store first when we get back. Look, Lanzi and I will take care of the new store."

Zhao Fen nodded again and again: "I feel more relieved to have Lanzi with you, besides, there is Jiezi."

Xiao Yan smiled: "Yeah, yeah, he talks about it every day and don't forget him when he moves the store."

As soon as the grandfather and grandson returned to the entrance of the village, they felt that something was wrong—the entrance of the village was very quiet.

"Yanzi, why do I think the village is weird today? There were people going in and out with things this morning, but there is no sign of them now." Looking at the emptiness around, Zhao Fen felt a little panicked.

"Yeah, the old third uncle's shop is open but no one is looking at it. It's not like him." Usually some naughty children in the village like to steal candy and snacks from his shop. He refused to leave even when he urinated, and even tried to hold back his urination until he was admitted to the hospital.It was only later that he asked his wife to come and take care of him, otherwise he would have to watch it by himself, and he would not feel at ease when others saw him.

But this time the store door was wide open, but no one was watching the store. This couldn't be more strange!
The village is old, and there is not even a memorial archway at the intersection, just a small dirt road.When it's not raining, when the wind blows, there will be a gust of dust blowing over. There are some weeds growing on both sides, but it's useless. In short, it looks like a ruin.

This time there were not many people, and it looked even more terrifying.

Grandpa and grandson, you look at me, and I look at your field. Walking towards the house, before walking a short distance, you saw a group of people surrounded by your door.

Xiao Yan and Zhao Fen were immediately stunned.

The people in the crowd saw Zhao Fen and the two come back with keen eyes, and shouted: "Grandma Fen is back!"

"Yeah? Where? Where's the person?"

"Call and talk!"

"That's it!"

Amidst the noise, the crowd consciously parted a path.

Xiao Yan finally saw clearly this time, the gate of her house was full of furniture!At first glance, the furniture looks familiar!Take a closer look, isn't it just your own furniture!They are all old furniture. The corners of the wooden tea table were originally square, but they have been rounded after years of use; one of the legs of the bed next to it is short, it is grandma’s bed, and it must have been padded when it was moved out. The piece of wood at the foot of the bed is missing; the other rattan chairs have been patched with rattan, and the overall color is different...

The water tank in the kitchen was moved out!

A figure suddenly rushed out from the middle of the path, and rushed towards Xiao Yan and Zhao Fen crying, "Mom! Yanzi! I was wrong!"
