I really don't want to be a teacher

The mourning hall seemed a little empty, with only a door panel not covered with a quilt, and a few sticks of incense burning in front of the door panel, and a pair of wax.

"...Your dad, have you eaten yet?"

Looking into the mourning hall, the old lady opened her mouth and said aloud,

"...Dad, he...they will feed Dad in a while."

Looking at the old lady, the middle-aged woman paused, and then said aloud.

The old lady turned her head back slowly, looked at the middle-aged woman again, nodded, and was silent again, slowly lowering her head.

"...Master, please bring some peanuts and sugar over here..."

On the side, the person presiding over the funeral turned around and shouted at the middle-aged woman,

"...Okay, now..."

The middle-aged woman responded, then turned her head and looked at the old lady.

"...Then Mom, I'll cook some glutinous rice balls for you, how many do you eat..."

The old lady was still silent when she heard the sound, with her head bowed,

The middle-aged woman stamped her feet, walked away, and got busy.

……

Looking at the yard, Lian Ge moved away and walked towards the old lady in the yard.

"...Old man, I'm a passer-by. I passed by here, and I happened to meet the expensive house to do business. I don't know if I can ask for a glass of wine."

Walking in front of the old lady, Lian Ge said calmly.

After the voice fell, the old lady was still hunched over, with her head bowed, sitting silently,

"...Sorry, sorry..."

The middle-aged woman who was busy at the side noticed this, hurried over, and said hello,

"... My dad is gone, my mother is a little uncomfortable... You are neglected, you are neglected... Young man, you sit first, sit first."

"Thank you."

Hearing this, Lian Ge thanked him, then turned his head to look at the old lady,

The old lady was sitting, and slowly raised her head, her eyes were cloudy, she looked at Lian Ge,

"... Sit down... the old man likes to be lively, like... to be lively."

After speaking, the old lady slowly lowered her head again and fell silent.

"Thank you, old man."

Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge thanked again,

"...Young man, sit down, sit down first, and I'll get you a cup of tea."

The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady, then turned around, took a stool, put it beside Lian Ge, greeted her, turned around and walked away, and started to work.

Looking at the old lady again, Lian Ge sat down beside her, turned her gaze, and looked into the yard.

……

In the yard, a group of guests were eating melon and fruit candies and talking, which was quite lively.

"...Hey, this old couple has been together for so many years, and the rest, I'm afraid I don't know how long they will have to be angry."

"...Old Chen, that kid in your family said he brought his girlfriend back?"

"...Old Xu, why didn't your guy come over here... The child is still young, so it's not good to think about it, so let her stay at home and take care of the child, and I came here alone..."

Voices were mixed and resounding on the other side of the yard,

Halfway across the yard, it seemed much quieter.

The old lady was hunched over, sitting on a chair with her head down, as if in a trance, silent and silent.

……

"...The old man told me a few nights ago that he wanted me to make some dumplings for him. I agreed, let him go to the town the next day, buy some meat, and I will make him..."

"...It should be done well, and it is said that the mountains and the fields will be turned over to see how to plant some sweet potatoes..."

The old lady raised her head slowly, looked at the empty mourning hall, and said aloud,

"...Why, why..."

"...The next morning, I got up first. Before he woke up, I wanted to let him sleep a little longer. I went to cook the rice in the pot first... I cooked the rice, and he Before I got up...I went to call him...Call him, he didn't answer, I pushed him and called his name...When I touched him, he was completely cold..."

While talking, the old lady fell silent again.

"... Come, boy, have some tea."

The middle-aged woman walked over with a disposable paper cup and a soup bowl,

After putting the cup of tea on the table next to Lian Ge, he turned around and looked at the old lady.

"...Mom, I cooked some glutinous rice balls for you. Eat two to fill your stomach first. You haven't eaten anything for the past two days. If you don't eat any more, your body will collapse."

Putting the bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of the old lady, the middle-aged woman said aloud,

Hearing the sound, the old lady raised her head slowly, and looked at the bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of her,

In the bowl, there was some heat rising, the old lady looked at it, her cloudy eyes were lost in thought, she was silent,

"...Mom, take a bite."

The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady, picked up the bowl of glutinous rice balls again, took a spoon, filled one and handed it to the old lady's mouth,

The old lady paused for a moment, followed by a daze, turned her head, looked at the middle-aged woman, and then looked at the bowl of glutinous rice balls.

"...Give it to your dad. Your dad likes to eat these things. When the end comes, he still reads these things..."

Looking at the glutinous rice balls, the old lady's eyes were in a trance, she said something, and fell silent again,

"...Mom, Dad already ate it... In the morning, when they cooked glutinous rice balls, they gave it to Dad..."

The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady, and said aloud,

"...Mom, you eat first..."

While talking, the middle-aged woman passed the spoon forward again.

Hearing the sound, the old lady slowly opened her mouth and ate the glutinous rice balls.

"...Mom, let's eat some more."

After the old lady swallowed the dumpling, the middle-aged woman filled another dumpling and handed it to the old lady's mouth.

The old lady was silent, paused, raised her head again, and looked at the middle-aged woman.

"...Your father's body is stronger than mine, and he is better than me... His appetite is also good. On weekdays, he can still eat two bowls of dry rice at a meal, but I can only eat half a bowl, and I have to add some soup. You can eat it...your father..."

"...I know, I know, Mom, I know..."

Holding the bowl of glutinous rice balls, listening to the old lady's words, the eyes of the middle-aged woman were a little red,

"...Mom, you should eat first, dad doesn't want to, mom doesn't want your body to collapse..."

Refilling a glutinous rice ball again, the middle-aged woman handed it to the old lady's mouth and said,

The old lady looked at the middle-aged woman again, slowly opened her mouth again, and swallowed the glutinous rice balls.

"...that old thing, he still takes care of me on weekdays, that old thing, why, why did the old thing fall in front of me..."

Slowly, then lowered her head, the old lady said, and fell silent again,

"...Mom, you can eat more."

The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady, squatted down a little more, and said aloud,

The old lady remained silent, hunched over and lowered her head.

"...Then Mom, sit here for a while, and eat later, let's eat together."

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman paused again, held the bowl, stood up again, said something, and walked away again.

……

Glancing at the silent old lady again, Lian Ge turned around and didn't say much.

In the courtyard, all the guests were still talking to each other,

The voice of the voice was mixed with the smell of paper money that had not dissipated, lingering in the yard with the breeze.

……

"...crackling, crackling..."

A little far away, bursts of firecrackers sounded,

Immediately after the sound of firecrackers, on the village road, he took off the filial piety cloth wrapped around his head, and the red cloth strips, and threw down the filial piety flag, and a group of mourners rushed towards the side of the yard ,

"...run away, run away..."

A few people shouted and ran in front, looking a little cheerful.

Before crossing the yard, the cypress branches with smoke had been arranged, or took a sip of the small glass of wine on the stool, or grabbed the melon seeds and candies on the side plate, and entered the yard.

Seeing this, the helpful neighbors began to set up tables and stools and serve food on the table.

The guests who were talking to each other got up first, and then sat down around the dining tables, and the courtyard became more and more lively.

Beside the yard, the old lady who was sitting a little far away from the crowd slowly raised her head, looking at the people who kept coming into the yard from outside the yard to deliver the funeral, and at the crowd in the yard who were about to have a feast, still silent .

After waiting outside the yard, the last person ran into the yard. The old lady watched, her stooped body straightened,

He raised his head and looked behind the man, on the village road,

As if she didn't see anyone again, the old lady lowered her head slowly and remained silent.

"...everyone sit, sit whatever you want, just take it easy..."

Walking in front of the funeral procession before, the middle-aged man holding the coffin entered the yard, greeted the guests in the yard a few times, and walked towards the old lady.

"……mom,"

Squatting down in front of the old lady, the middle-aged man called out to the old lady,

"...your father..."

The old lady raised her head slowly, looked at her son, opened her mouth,

"...Dad already..."

Looking at his mother, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"...Mom, let's sit down and eat first."

After saying something, the middle-aged man turned around again, looked at Lian Ge beside him,

"……Who is this?"

"... Passers-by, ask for a drink... Your father likes to be lively..."

The old lady said aloud,

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly.
