Xiang Shengnan put down his tea bowl, lay on the table, and choked with sobs.

Who says men can't cry?

Men are human beings too!

At this moment, Xiang Shengnan was thinking about what happened between himself and his brother.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, my brother is a useless person. He can't do any physical work, and he can't speak well in public situations. He can even carry an earthen pot filled with water from the kitchen to the main room and bump into it several times. In addition to still

I can eat and poop, but nothing else.

But others don't know that the old brother was not like this.

At least in Xiang Shengnan's memory, his elder brother used to be honest and capable. His uncle sold cattle, his father took care of the farm work, and his elder brother was also a good hand helping his father.

Everyone in the small Xiangjiazhuang praised my brother for his ability and strength.

My brother went to help his future father-in-law's house and accidentally fell and hit his head. Since then, my brother has been slow and clumsy, and his brain can't be used very well.

But my brother has a pure nature, this is an indisputable fact.

Xiang Shengnan originally thought that he would work harder to make money in the future, so that when his parents were old and unable to take care of his brother, he, as the younger brother, would take on this responsibility.

Unexpectedly, after a cold wind and a few days of fighting, so many people in the first year of life were gone, without even a word of explanation!

Brother will only turn twenty-six in two months!

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and Xiang Shengnan cried uncontrollably.

Beside them, Mrs. Sun and Xiaoduo Xiaohua were thinking of ways to comfort them, but everyone knew in their hearts that the pain of bereavement could not be healed by just a word or a word.

This takes time to dilute.

Just like when Mrs. Sun passed away, everyone felt like the sky was falling. The pain was unspeakable.

However, several years have passed, and although I often think about it, regret and reminisce about it, the sadness I felt at the beginning has faded a lot unconsciously, and I feel much calmer even when I talk about it.

So at this moment, everyone didn't force me to persuade him, just let Xiang Shengnan cry properly. After crying, he would feel a little relieved.

Xiang Shengnan didn't cry for too long. His remaining sense told him that this was his father-in-law's house and he couldn't be too rude.

What's more, Duo'er has just become pregnant. We can't let Duo'er worry about herself and affect her and the child.

So, Xiang Shengnan wiped away his tears and tried to calm down his emotions.

Seeing him like this, Xiaoduo felt very worried, "I'll get you a basin of hot water and wash your face before we talk."

After that, he took Xiang Shengnan's hand and went to the backyard together.

In the main room, Ms. Sun sighed and said, "That kid Jin Nan is really pitiful. He left so young and was not even married yet. It's such a pity, what a pity..."

Xiaohua frowned and said, "To put it bluntly, most of the responsibility for this matter lies with his parents, especially her mother."

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment and said: "His mother... I can't say that she has any bad intentions. She also wanted Jin Nan to get better, but it was delayed..."

Xiaohua pursed her lips and was about to speak when Xiaoduo returned to the main room with Xiang Shengnan who had washed his face.

Xiang Shengnan's mood had calmed down. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw Mrs. Sun excitedly placing a refilled tea bowl in front of him. He quickly stood up again and took the tea bowl with both hands: "Mother-in-law, please sit down and rest.

, I’m not thirsty.”

Mrs. Sun looked at Xiang Shengnan's bloodshot eyes and felt very distressed. Naturally, she smiled gently and lovingly on her face: "It's nothing. Mom is not tired. You can sit down and drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Xiang Shengnan nodded and sat back down again.

Across the table, my father-in-law Yang Huazhong took a puff of dry cigarette, frowned, sighed again, and then asked Xiang Shengnan about the upcoming funeral arrangements.

"When will the funeral be held? How did your parents and uncle arrange it?" As an in-law, if something like this happens, my family will definitely have to go to the funeral.

Yang Huazhong was a little worried at the same time. After all, Jin Nan was a junior and had not yet gotten married. Unlike those old people who died in mourning, it was not possible to beat gongs and drums and send wreaths to mourn in this situation, so he had to ask carefully.

"My uncle went to sell cattle in the mountains. He has been gone for ten days and a half, and he still doesn't know about my brother."

"My mother fainted from crying several times and sent people to my uncle's house to announce the funeral. My father had no idea what to do about my brother's funeral. He only sent me to talk to my father-in-law and mother-in-law here to get some advice.

.”

Hearing what Xiang Shengnan said, Yang Huazhong frowned.

It was obvious that the Xiang family wanted him to come over and help organize things.

Forget it, let's go. After all, it's the children's family. Let's help deal with it before Brother Xiang comes back.

Thinking of this, Yang Huazhong hung the dry tobacco pole on his waist, stood up and said to Xiang Shengnan: "Okay, then I will go with you first to see what's going on."

Xiang Shengnan quickly stood up, and Weng and his son-in-law walked out.

Xiaoduo caught up and grabbed Xiang Shengnan's arm: "I'll go back with you too."

Xiang Shengnan glanced at Xiaoduo's belly and hesitated.

The house is noisy now, my brother is still lying on the door panel, and my mother is crying so hard that Duo'er will definitely be affected when she goes back.

"Duo'er, don't be in a hurry to go back. You stay here first. When we get back, we will sort things out before you go back." Xiang Shengnan pinched Xiao Duo's slightly cold hand and warned.

Xiaoduo shook his head: "The family needs someone for this kind of thing, and there is no one to accompany my mother-in-law, so I don't worry..."

"There's nothing you can do if you don't worry, Duo'er. Your own health is important," Xiaohua came over, held Xiaoduo's shoulders and advised her earnestly, "Shengnan and his uncle's people will be here soon."

, then the aunts and cousins ​​will naturally be able to accompany your mother-in-law. You will be a little later, and at least you have to wait for the rain to stop before you can go back. The road is so slippery, if you fall, it will be terrible! "

Xiang Shengnan nodded again: "Sister-in-law is right, Duo'er, please stay here patiently. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law will help take care of you, so I don't have to be distracted."

Sun and Yang Huazhong also helped to persuade them. Xiaoduo could only nod with tears in his eyes and watched their figures disappear into the rain curtain. Then he turned around and sat back on the stool, with a sad look on his face and murmured: "I will go back to my parents' home before I go back."

I even said hello to Brother Jin Nan one day, and he smiled at me, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone..."

Mrs. Sun also sighed, "This is all fate!"

The three mothers were absent-minded for most of the day, especially Xiaoduo, who basically sat on a stool at the door of the main room, stretching his neck to wait for news.

Xiaohua brought a bowl of hot noodles to Xiaoduo. The noodle soup was clear noodle soup, with a few pieces of ribs on top, a poached egg that had been cooked to a golden color on both sides, and a little green onion sprinkled on it.

This appearance is very tempting when you see it.

But Xiaoduo only glanced at it and shook his head: "I really have no appetite, you can eat it!"

"You are pregnant, how can you just say that you won't eat if you don't want to? You don't want to eat the baby in your belly, but you have to eat it! Come on, take a bite, and I'll feed you?"

Xiaohua picked up the chopsticks as if to feed him, but Xiaoduo had no choice but to reach out and take it. Holding it in his hand, he looked in the direction of the courtyard entrance, his eyes full of anxiety: "It's almost dark, no one has come back, and no one has come back."
