Chapter 12
The day after the burial is the first seven.The first seven is a very important thing, and the country people regard the first seven very solemnly.
Early in the morning, the members of Lan's family had breakfast, took sacrifices, and went to worship at the grave of the ancestor grandma.The sacrifices were bought by the two aunts, and they were all made of paper.And TV, recliner, fan and so on.
When the grave was buried yesterday, everything was still so new, and even the soil still had a simple muddy smell.The wreath was blown all night, and the little flowers on it were blown all over the place.
Uncle Lan lit two candles and three incense sticks, and placed them in front of Grandma's grave.After doing this well, the Lan family, from the elder to the younger, kowtowed three times in front of the ancestor's grandma's grave one by one.
Lan You knelt aside, watching the aunt put the sacrifices into the fire.Those sacrifices were slowly reduced to ashes in the flames.Lan You opened her eyes wide and looked at the photo of Grandma Zu on the tombstone. The Grandma Zu in the photo was as gentle and kind as ever.Lan You's eyes were swollen and painful, and she wanted to cry but couldn't shed tears.
When the last spark died out in the ashes, Uncle Lan said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's go back."
Lan You got up from the ground, because he knelt for a long time and his feet were a little weak, he staggered forward and almost fell down.It was the second cousin next to him who reached out to help him.
"Be careful." The second cousin said softly.
"Thank you, Second Brother." Lan You pulled out her arm and thanked in a hoarse voice.The figures of the people were about to disappear on the mountain, Lan You glanced at Grandma Zu for the last time, turned and left, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
"Grandma, I will be fine, don't worry."
====================
Lan's family, the people who came back from worship sat in the hall.Uncle Lan pulled out the cigarette stick that never left his body from behind, added tobacco to the stick, lit it and took a puff, and said: "Father Mu lived in the old house behind your house before his death, and now the Qiqi mourning hall of Father Mu Put it at your house, no problem."
Father Lan repeatedly said yes and said yes.
Father Lamb next to him disagreed a little, and said, "It's not good, father and mother stayed at our house, why..." Father Lan didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by father Lan : "You are a nanny, what do you know, why don't you go down quickly."
In front of everyone, Father Lan's face turned red when Father Lan was so condescending.He stood up, raised his finger and pointed to Father Lan, who was about to speak when he was stopped by Lan Ya beside him.
"Father Mu, I'm going to school later, go and help me pack my things." Lan Ya stood up, blocked Father Lamb's hand, and pulled Father Lamb out.
Lan Ya's room.Lan Ya pulled Father Mu to sit on the bed, "Father Mu, you shouldn't have quarreled with Father just now, don't you understand Father's temperament?" refute his decision in public.
"I'm just not reconciled. Why does the old man pass away in our house, and now he still has a small mourning hall in our house?"
"Father Mu, you also said that grandma passed away in our house, are you still afraid of Qiqi's small mourning hall?" Lan Ya paused for a while, and said: "The old house is not inhabited anyway, so what are you afraid of. "
Lan Ya is in the third year of high school, and the curriculum is tight and very important. After lunch, Lan Ya goes to school with her schoolbag on her back.
The members of the Lan family sat in the hall after lunch and chatted.Uncle Lan glanced at Aunt Lan and Aunt Lan on both sides, and said: "Father Mu also passed away. While everyone is here, we just divided up the things left by the old man. You think so." Lambert Mama said to auntie.He didn't want to offend Lamb's father alone and drag the two aunts into trouble.
The two aunts were also thinking about this matter, and now seeing Aunt Lan open her mouth, they quickly echoed: "Yes, we are far away, now that we are separated, we can save another trip."
Father Lamb was very angry when he heard what they said. The old man lived with them and lived in their family during his lifetime. The things he left belonged to their family, so why should they be divided among them.
"It's not good. Not long after Father Mu, we shared what he left, and it's not nice to say it." Father Lamb said holding back his temper.
"Oh, what's so bad about it, it's not the same whether it's early or late, but it still has to be divided." Aunt Lan said loudly in disapproval.The two aunts quickly expressed their support for Aunt Lan.
Uncle Lan on the side knocked the cigarette stick on the stool, and looked at Father Lan with gloomy eyes.Father Lamb stepped back when he saw him.Ever since Lamb's father married into the Lan family, he was not afraid of anyone, but he was a little afraid of this quiet uncle who was a bit naive.Father Lan touched Father Lan next to him with his hand, "Master, you should say something."
"Let's divide, it's fine if we divide." Father Lan said in a deep voice.After hearing what he said, Father Lamb was so angry that his heart ached. This dead ghost, how can we share?Father Lan Mu wanted to object, but Father Lan glared at him and swallowed it.
Lan You was lying on Grandma Grandma's bed, smelling Grandma Grandma's scent on the bed, as if he was still by her side and hadn't left at all.At this moment, the old wooden door was pushed open from the outside.Lan You turned around and saw that it was Auntie and the others.
Aunt Lan pushed open the door, looked at Lan You who was lying on the bed, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Oh, Xiao You is here, we are going to divide the things here, you get up, get up .”
"Score? For what?" Lan You got up and went to the ground, asking doubtfully.
"Of course I divided the things in this room." Aunt Lan answered while looking at the things in the room.There is nothing in Grandma's room, the big ones are the dressing table, hanging wardrobe, chest of drawers and bed.The styles are a bit old, but the workmanship is very fine, and the wood is also good wood.
Aunt Lan pointed to the dressing table in front of the bed and said, "There are just four big pieces here, one for each of our four families. I want this dressing table."
"No, although it is said to be four large pieces, the value is obviously different. This dressing table is obviously more valuable, so why should it belong to you?" Father Lamb immediately objected.
"Yeah yeah"
“The price is not the same at all,,,”
"How can it be divided like this, it's too unfair..."
",,,,,,"
Lan You watched the group of them arguing about sharing Grandma's things in Grandma's room, trembling with anger, her teeth were about to crack, and her chest heaved violently.The hands in the pockets were clenched tightly, and the unhealed wound left yesterday opened again, and scarlet blood flowed out from it, soaking the clothes, no one saw it, and the jade put in by Grandma Zu in the Lan Youli clothes was stained with blood. The blood on it flashed a dazzling white light and disappeared into Lan You's pocket.
"Get out, get out." Lan You pointed at the door and said sharply.After speaking, he was so angry that he suddenly fainted in front of everyone.
Lan You, who fainted, entered another space.Lan You woke up and found himself lying on the grass. He got up and saw that it was an empty flat plain, about two to three hundred acres, divided into two halves by a small river in the middle. The place where Lan You was standing now was a piece of fat A meadow of green grass, opposite the dark land.It was so foggy all around that I couldn't see clearly.
The origin of the creek is unknown, but at the end is a pond with a size of twenty acres.Behind the pond is a wooden house surrounded by a fence. There should be a bamboo forest behind the wooden house, and some bamboo roofs can be seen faintly.
Lan You was a little puzzled, he obviously passed out, but why did he wake up in such a place.He walked to the wooden bridge connecting the black earth and the grass, and walked to the wooden house.Lan You pushed aside the fence and asked loudly, "Is anyone there?" No one answered.
Lan You pushed open the door of the wooden house again, and there were all the furniture inside, and they were all very clean, but there was no human smell.There are a total of six wooden houses with a built-in kitchen outside, with a lobby in the middle and rooms on both sides. The structure is similar to that of Lan You's old house.
Lan You woke up dizzy, her eyes confused.Suddenly, his eyes cleared up, thinking about what happened before he fainted, he quickly got up from the bed, and ran to grandma's room.
Grandma Grandma's room was left open, and it was cloudy at five o'clock in winter, and the sky was already very dark.Lan You turned on the light, the piercing white light made the eyes a little unbearable.I covered my eyes and waited for a while before letting go.
The twenty-odd-square-meter room seemed a bit cramped at first.But now the things inside have been removed, and it looks very empty.The cold wind blew into the room from the opened window, blowing into Lan You's empty heart, so cold, so cold.
Lan You squatted on the ground for a while, turned around and left the room, entered the kitchen, looked at Father Lamb who was cooking in the kitchen, and asked, "Father Mu, where are the things? Where are the things of grandma?"
"Things? Of course it's divided, you evil son came in and asked why." Father Lamb's expression was very bad.After Lan You passed out, Lan's father carried him into the room, and they finally decided to divide things by drawing lots, and the one drawn was the one.
"It's divided, how can you divide it, it belongs to Grandma Zu." Lan You's voice was shrill and sharp.
"The old man's stuff? He's dead, so why not keep the stuff. You scoundrel, don't get in the way here, get out of here." Father Lan pushed Lan You staggeringly with one hand.
Lan You stood outside the kitchen for a long time before wiping away her tears, said in a hoarse voice, "I won't eat tonight." Turned around and left.
"It's better not to eat, to save food. Hmph, how dare you get me Joe."
Lan You went back to the room and lay on the bed, reaching into the pocket of her coat to touch the jade given by Grandma Zu.But it was empty, and there was nothing.Lan You was startled, got up and fumbled through her pockets, and took off her clothes, but there was still nothing.Lan You thought of the place she saw when she woke up after fainting this afternoon.Thinking of the portable space novels I had read and written, I wondered if it could be—the portable space, when was it triggered, and how to enter the space.
As soon as Lan You thought of this, she disappeared into the room.Lan You stared at this space with wide eyes, it was the one he had entered in the afternoon.With a thought, he appeared in the room again.Lan You was instantly ecstatic, and even the sadness of Grandma Zu's death was diluted a little.
