It's been six years, and I don't expect my body to still be usable. The best plan I've made so far is that my body has been made into a zombie or a walking corpse. (.)
I stayed in the house alone until dawn the next day. Grandpa Ye was weak and went to sleep after talking to me. He didn't particularly mind that I was a ghost.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Grandpa Ye went out with a torch, saying that he was going to invite the gong and drum team over. It is a custom here that no matter when the coffin is opened and the museum is opened, a gong and drum team is needed to beat it.
Not long after Grandpa Ye left, He Fei, his playmate who used to herd cows when he was young, came to the door.
When he arrived at the door, he didn't come in immediately, but looked inside, and after several glances, he asked, "Where's Grandpa Ye?"
He is of the same generation as me, so the address is naturally the same as mine. He called my grandpa the great grandpa, and he should have called Grandpa Ye the second grandpa, but his He family already had a second grandpa, so he couldn't repeat it, so he called me Grandpa Ye.
Grandpa Ye is the head of the village. He always smiles when he tells people about "Fengshen Yanyi" for nothing, but he is absolutely unambiguous when dealing with serious matters. Even people of his generation are afraid of him getting mad. When we were young, we herded cattle. If we didn't take good care of the cattle and the cattle ate people's crops, Grandpa Ye would grab us and beat us up, scolding us for not paying attention. When I was young, the children in the village were often criticized by Grandpa Ye, and He Fei and I were no exception.
When I saw that he didn't dare to come in, I knew he must have done something wrong, and he was hiding from Grandpa Ye right now.
"He went out to call the gong and drum team. It will take a while to come back. Come in."
After I said that, he breathed a sigh of relief, came in, took a chair and sat next to me, chatted with me about the past, and was not afraid of me at all.
There were not many ghosts in this village, but from the first time I saw ghosts to now, ghosts appear frequently. Up to now, due to the influence of ghosts, people in the village are generally less inflamed. What I could see before, they can naturally see.
They couldn't see when I could see before, so avoid me. Now they can see it too, but I have become a ghost, and most people still want to avoid me. It's really confusing.
He Fei told me a lot of things about taking off his pants and playing in the mud together, and he was very emotional about that time.
After reminiscing about that period of time, he said: "Actually, you were damned at that time. I didn't want to isolate you. It's just that my family didn't allow it. I couldn't help it. Please don't be offended."
I found it funny when I heard it, and co-authored him to tell me a lot today because he was afraid that I would retaliate against him for what happened in the past.
"I didn't blame you, really. If it were me, I would do like you."
He Fei laughed and said, "You still have a big stomach. By the way, if you have nothing to do, you can go to my house. You haven't talked to your sister-in-law yet."
I hummed, and then asked, "When did you get married? You got married at such a young age, don't you regret it?"
Speaking of this, He Fei scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I got married last year. She is from your Ye family. It is because of her that I dare not see Grandpa Ye."
When it comes to my Ye family, I am a little surprised. I know all the people with the surname Ye in this village, but I have never seen his daughter-in-law.
Rural people generally get married earlier, and my great-grandfather had his first child at the age of 14.
People in rural areas start to worry about marriage when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they ask people to be matchmakers everywhere, for fear that they will not be able to get married in the future. In recent years, the atmosphere has become better, but the old ideas of the old people in the village have not changed, otherwise they would not have been so worried about Meng Changqing's marriage before. He is not married in his thirties, and he has been beaten as a bachelor for a lifetime here. Among the ranks of people, even if they get married, they have to marry people who cannot get married or are widows.
"How do you say? Why don't you dare to see Grandpa Ye?" I asked.
"Her name is Ye Weiting. I met her when I went out to work last year. At that time, I saw how beautiful she was, so I had a heart, and I rented a house next to her house. She looked down and didn't look up. She got acquainted after coming and going, and later helped her I did her a few favors, and confirmed the relationship after several times. When I brought her home to meet relatives, I realized that she was Grandpa Ye's grand-nephew daughter. It's just that she has been away these years, so she hasn't been here, but her parents, you must be sure. I've seen it before, I used to visit Grandpa Ye often, the one who brought cigarettes to Grandpa Ye and your grandfather every time he came."
When he said that, I remembered that a couple used to come to the house every year during the Chinese New Year. Every time they came, they brought a new dress for grandma and a cigarette for grandpa. At that time, Grandpa and the others kept asking Ye Weiting why she didn't come.
"It's a good thing. You're not bad. If you marry this girl from the country, the girl won't suffer any disadvantages. Besides, wouldn't it be better if you get more kisses?"
Hearing what I said, He Fei smiled awkwardly: "I just found out after I came back that her parents have already proposed a kiss to her. The other party's conditions are much better than mine. Not only his parents, but even Grandpa Ye disagreed. Say I haven't studied, don't delay my girl. But when she came back, she was already pregnant. Finally, she was forced to marry me. Even now, my father-in-law and mother-in-law still don't want to see me. Married The time didn't come, saying that I was worthless, I was a farmer all my life, and lied to his girl with sweet words."
When he said this, the embarrassment on He Fei's face disappeared, and he had an indescribable expression.
"It's good to be married, and it can be regarded as lovers who finally get married." I said.
He Fei glanced at me, and then said seriously: "Brother, I will tell you this alone. If you can listen, then listen to my complaints. If you can't, just treat me as a fart."
"Tell me, I'm listening."
"A few days before I got married, I took her to Yejiawan and invited them to the wedding banquet one by one. At that time, they all nodded and said that they must come, but no one came on the day of the wedding. I put Thirty tables, I thought it would be quite lively, but in the end there were only about ten tables, and all of them were from my He family. Except for a few people surnamed Ye in this village, even my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't give me face. And Grandpa Ye, he didn't give face either. On the wedding day, he said that he had something to do and ran to the city. You know that men are good-faced. At that time, I almost didn't have the idea of hacking them to death and then turning myself in. But I was persuaded by Ye Weiting, she said that the people from her Ye family didn't come, she was the most ashamed, she endured it, what can I not bear?" He Feiyue said more and more excited, finally spit flying, and simply stood up Scratch your ears and dry yourself in this room.
"It's all over, now you have children, go and see them more, they will understand. Is there any parent who doesn't love their children."
As soon as I finished speaking, He Fei stopped me suddenly, and almost shouted: "Don't tell me about my baby, when my baby is full moon, they don't even take a look at it, I don't understand, what the hell am I doing?" I don't deserve their daughter at all, they don't want to see me so much. But I'm thinking about it, since they look down on me, I insist on living a human life for them to see, I plan to go out and do something when the baby is one year old Small business, at least Ye Weiting won't be allowed to farm with me."
I didn't know how to respond, so I sighed and passed away.
He Fei talked to me for a while and stopped this topic. He said this to me alone. After all, they are still his grandfather Ye, his father-in-law and mother-in-law. No matter how dissatisfied with them, he still treats them as elders .
When He Fei left, he said: "I even forgot that I came here for business. Ye Weiting asked me to come. You are her younger brother. I have never seen you before. Let me invite you to my house." Get together."
I am also very interested in this sister who has never met. She didn't come last night, and I didn't see her. But from what He Fei said just now, she should be an extremely virtuous woman, and she could still persuade He Fei under such circumstances.
I found a bamboo hat in the house and walked down to the village with He Fei.
The chestnut tree next to Grandpa's house has been chopped down. He Fei said that the old people in the village can't chew chestnuts, and the young people don't want to work hard to pick them. Good to walk. Sometimes a thorn shell falls on the head suddenly, which is easy to hurt, so the tree was cut down.
As soon as He Fei followed him to the side of his room, he heard a baby crying. He Fei turned his head and said, "My baby is making trouble again. These days, I'm always making noise, and I can't sleep well."
"It's good to make a fuss, the more fuss the more useful." I said.
He Fei smiled, and then led me to the main door of the house, stood at the door and went inside to have a look. I immediately gave a dry cough and turned my eyes away.
A ten-year-old girl was breastfeeding her child in the room. Seeing how embarrassed I was, He Fei smiled and said, "Come in, what are you afraid of, she is your sister."
I just turned my eyes away, the girl had already pulled down her clothes, she got up and hugged the child and said with a blushing face, "Come on, come in and sit down."
After entering, He Fei told me that she was Ye Weiting.
I looked it up, and sure enough, as He Fei said, she was very beautiful, graceful, with a melon-shaped face, slanted bangs, and a height of about 1.6 meters. It was just because of the oily smoke that her face was a little dark yellow, which was exactly what she was. It made her more haggard and beautiful.
I sat down and called my sister, she smiled, handed the baby in her arms to He Fei, and brought me a cup of tea. In my current state, I don't need to drink tea, but just hold the cup as a plaything and play with it.
Ye Weiting was breastfeeding her child, but when I came, she stopped suddenly, and the clothes on her chest were soaked with milk stains. I don't have any evil thoughts, but I accidentally saw it when I was serving tea, and I had never seen it before, so it was very embarrassing.
Ye Weiting naturally noticed it too. She entered the room and changed her clothes before she came out. After she came out, she said, "I've heard them mentioning you as a younger brother. This is the first time we've met."
She must know that I am a ghost, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.
While he was speaking, the child kept crying in He Fei's arms. I thought it was because of me, so I sat a little far away from the child. Seeing this, Ye Weiting said with a worried face: "It's not because of you, it's my first time raising a child. I have no experience, and the milk is not enough, and the child is always hungry."
After finishing speaking, she took the child into the house and started breastfeeding the child. I chatted with He Fei here. He said that because they were not old enough, the child could not register for household registration, and that Ye Weiting had suffered a lot with him. Bitter, Ye Weiting's complexion was very fair in the past, but now it is gradually turning yellow.
"Everyone has his own life, and it's not necessarily a bad thing."
He Fei smiled, and about twenty minutes later, Ye Weiting came out and said that the child had fallen asleep, and then said, "Brother, will you always be like this from now on?"
Hearing her call my brother made my heart feel warm, but I was not sure about this issue myself, so I said: "I don't know yet, my master may come over in a few days, and he may have a way."
"I heard from other people in the village that your master is a man of genius, no matter what, you must meet him if you have the opportunity. You must have learned a lot after following him for so long, right?"
I nodded in agreement with her first half of the sentence, and then said: "I haven't learned one hundred thousandth of him yet."
While talking, another friend who played with him when he was a child entered He Fei's room with two bottles of liquor.
This playmate is called He Dawei, He Fei's cousin, two months younger than him, always following He Fei's buttocks when he was young.
At that time, there were two couples in the village who had the best relationship. One was me and Xiaoxiao, whom the villagers laughed at as a couple; the other was He Fei and He Dawei, who were said to be brothers by the villagers. Together, the relationship is very strong.
He Dawei entered the room and called brother and sister-in-law directly, then he was stunned when he saw me, and asked why you are here.
He Fei said: "Ye Hai is your sister-in-law's younger brother, and he is here to see your sister-in-law."
He Dawei was a little jealous of me, so he came in and sat far away, and finally said to He Fei: "I came to see you for a drink, since Ye Hai is here, why don't we go together?"
After He Dawei came, Ye Weiting greeted He Dawei and went into the house to cook. When she went in, she also asked me not to leave and to stay here for a while, after all, I haven't seen each other for so long. And I finally got back my sun, so naturally I have to get together more.
At around twelve o'clock at noon, the three of them had dinner, and I sat aside. If I was in a ghost state, I couldn't eat. If I wanted to eat, I would eat sandalwood ash.
During the meal, He Dawei kept pouring He Fei, and Ye Weiting kept persuading He Fei not to drink, but He Fei drank so hard that he didn't listen to the persuasion at all. He fell, and helped them both to bed to rest.
Ye Weiting then came out, sat face to face with me and said with a worried face: "My uncle would drink with He Fei every now and then, and he would get drunk every time. I persuaded He Fei many times, but he always said that they were related. Alright, drink more while you can, you won't have a chance in the future. Brother, you are an outsider, you should see it clearly, what kind of good intentions did my brother-in-law ask He Fei for drinking? He will know what he can do when I suffer a loss. Can't drink anymore."
He Dawei has been an extremely greedy person since he was a child. When he was young, he stole other children's toys and crops from other people's fields. He Fei protected him every time. Up to now, he has actually thought about his brother's woman, what a dog can't change eating shit.
"Did you tell He Fei about this?" I asked.
Ye Weiting shook her head: "Look at them both are so good that they wear the same pair of pants, can he believe me when I tell you?"
