I really don't want to be a teacher

"Let's stand a little longer, Mom."

The second son responded.

……

"Old man, thank you for this meal."

After glancing at the family, Lian Ge turned his gaze back again, and said in a calm tone.

"...Young man, have you eaten?"

The old lady turned her head slowly, looked at Lian Ge, and asked a question.

"... There is still some soup in the pot, young man, let me get you another bowl. Don't worry, young man, just eat slowly."

The middle-aged woman standing on the other side of the old lady turned her head and said aloud.

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly.Turning his gaze again, he looked at the family.

"It's getting late, and the way to go is difficult. I don't know if I can stay with the old man for another night."

With a calm tone, Lian Ge spoke again.

Hearing this, several children showed some hesitant expressions on their faces one after another.

The middle-aged woman raised her head, looked at the sun that had just risen to the sky, and then turned her gaze to the middle-aged man,

"...Young man, I'm sorry..."

The middle-aged man hesitated, looked at Lian Ge, as if he was about to refuse.

The old lady slowly raised her hand and pressed down the hand of her second son.

The middle-aged man paused, looked at his mother,

The old lady turned her head slowly, looked at Lian Ge,

"...stay here."

Slowly nodded, the old lady replied,

"...Young man, if you don't mind, just stay at home for a night."

Seeing that the old lady answered, the old lady's children didn't make any more noise.

"Then thank you, old man."

Glancing at the old lady, Lian Ge said aloud.

The old lady shook her head, then slowly turned her body, looked at her children,

"...Your dad likes to be lively. He must be happy to have guests at home..."

Looking at her children, the old lady said.

"...Understood, Mom... Then I'll go and tidy up the room in a while."

The middle-aged woman nodded and responded.

The old lady nodded, turned around slowly, and did not speak again.

……

"...Masters, come here, I have something to tell you..."

On the other side of the yard, the old Taoist priest presiding over the funeral put down his brush, picked up a teacup and sat down on the stool next to him to rest.

While unscrewing the lid of the teacup, he pointed to the person next to him and signaled,

Beside him, it seems to be the apprentice of an old Taoist priest, also about 60 or [-] years old, who looks like an old farmer, stepped forward,

He waited for the red paper on the table to dry before picking it up.

Holding the written red paper, the old farmer shouted towards the old lady, and at the same time walked towards this side.

Hearing the sound, the children beside the old lady turned around one after another, and the eldest son who was standing in front of the old lady stepped aside.

……

"...Here, it's your dad from the first seven to the last seven, and there are still a hundred days, a year's days..."

Holding the written red paper, the old farmer said to the old lady and her children,

"...there is still time to return to evil spirits. Just three days later, the time to return to evil spirits at night is about [-]:[-] p.m. After that, don’t stay at home, go out for a walk..."

"...The first seven, how about you children, it is best to come back, burn some incense for your father, and go to the grave to see your father..."

While talking, the old farmer turned his head and looked at the old lady sitting beside him, who was silent again, seemed to be in a trance, and was in a trance.

"...Also accompany your mother, accompany the old lady...After all..."

While talking, the old farmer lowered his voice,

Hearing this, the children nodded one after another.

"...In the next few days, if you children are not busy, you can all gather at your mother's place. If you are busy, it's up to you to arrange it yourself. Come over if you can. One child will pay respects. Let's see. Your father, that's enough... When it's the end of the seventh week, let's all come and get together..."

"...The time has already been calculated for you and written on it. When the time comes, I will show you whether to stick it on the wall next to the door or on the side of the door of the shrine. After a hundred days, Let's burn it together..." Looking at the old lady's children, the man who looked like an old farmer said.

"...Okay... I'm sorry..."

Several sons and daughters nodded one after another and agreed.

"...Then I'll go and post this for you."

The man who looked like an old farmer waved his hand, and was about to turn around and walk away.

……

"You don't need to send fire here?"

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the silent old lady sitting on the seat,

Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

Hearing the sound, the old lady and her children turned their eyes to Lian Ge one after another.

Just as the old farmer moved his foot away, he also stopped his movements and turned around quickly.

"...That's right, that's right, I almost forgot to tell you about this..."

"...How old are you, and you're still so forgetful."

The man with the appearance of an old farmer seemed to remember, and said quickly.

The old Taoist priest on the other side of the yard came over with a teacup and taught the old farmer a lesson.

Hearing the sound, the old farmer had a shy smile on his dark face,

"...I was too busy talking about Hui Sha, so I forgot..."

After saying something to the old Taoist priest, the old farmer turned his head again,

"...Thank you little brother for reminding me, I almost forgot..."

After thanking Lian Ge, the old farmer looked at the old lady's children.

"...Your father was buried today. Starting tonight, you have to send a candle there every night for three consecutive nights...there are incense candles, and I will bring you three more later... "

"...This man, just got down, and needs to be lit to see the way clearly... If you are patient, after the candlelight is delivered every night, you can go to see it in person every once in a while, so as not to When the candles are extinguished, your father, you can’t see the way clearly..."

The old Taoist held the teacup, said something more, and shook his head.

"...Okay, we remember..."

Hearing this, the children nodded one after another.

The old lady sat on the seat, her muddy eyes moved slightly, she looked at the empty main room, then remained silent, lowered her head slowly, her eyes were in a trance.

……

"...You go and post this... Several masters, this is almost the same. If there is anything, you can call my apprentice, and we will leave."

After saying something to his apprentice, the old Taoist turned around again and said aloud to the old lady and her children.

The children nodded,

"...That's fine, then go slowly."

"... You shouldn't go slowly, you should go fast."

Smiling, the old Taoist shook his head and said, then turned around and looked at the old lady sitting on the seat,

"...Old lady, you, you should relax...he is gone, but we still have to live a good life..."

The old lady remained silent and did not respond.

The old Taoist didn't persuade him anymore, and straightened up again,

The apprentice who had pasted the red paper followed closely, and walked over from under the eaves.

Holding the phone in his hand, he answered the voice, as if he was talking to the other end of the phone.

"...Master, it's done."

Putting down the phone, the apprentice who looked like an old farmer said to the old Taoist priest.

"...then don't leave yet."

The old Taoist responded and walked out of the courtyard.

……

"...Master, what happened in that village...you called me just now and wanted us to go and have a look..."

"...You really think your master and I have a long life, and you think your master and I have lived enough..."

As the voice of the words faded away, the old Taoist priest and the old farmer-like apprentice also gradually faded away.

Chapter 460

Listening to the voice of the voice ringing in the ear with the breeze, watching the two old Taoist priests walk away,

Lian Ge turned his gaze back to the old lady and her children beside her.

The old lady was still silent, looking in front of her, her cloudy eyes were in a trance, as if in a trance.

"...Mom, do you still drink this soup? If you want to drink it, I'll make you a hot bowl again. This bowl is already cold."

The middle-aged woman turned her head, picked up the soup bowl, and said to the old lady.

Hearing the sound, the old lady raised her head slowly, looked at her daughter, and shook her head slowly.

……

"...I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Masters, do you still want to eat? Let's see if I can take it away and put it on the next table."

In the house, the chef who finished his work in the kitchen wiped the water from his hands, walked to the table, apologized, and said,

"... We have to go to the next one in a while to hold a dinner for people. We are done with work now, and we have to go there..."

"...Mom, do you still eat other dishes?" The middle-aged man heard the sound, turned his head, and looked at his mother.

The old lady shook her head slowly after hearing the sound,

"...Then let's help Mom and you sit over there."

"...Young man, I'm sorry, please come over here too."

The middle-aged man said to his mother, then turned around, and said something to Lian Ge first,

Turning around again, he said something to the chef,

"Just accept it."

"...I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

The chef apologized and said a few more words, dragged the bucket of slops from the side over, and several helpers also came over here one after another.

The middle-aged man supported his mother, walked towards the yard, and walked past his own table. The middle-aged woman helped, holding a chair made by the old lady. The third son followed closely, and the eldest son stayed where he was. , and settled the bill with the chef.

Glancing at the old lady and the old lady's children, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, stood up, and walked to another table with the whole family.
