I really don't want to be a teacher

"...Come on, young man, sit down and have a cup of tea."

The old lady's third son walked into the main room, brought out a few stools, put them beside them, and took a disposable paper cup, poured a cup of tea, and put it on the table in front of Lian Ge.

"Thank you."

Glancing at the old lady's third son, Lian Ge thanked him, sat down casually, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"……You're welcome."

The old lady's third son said something, then turned around and walked back to the old lady.

The eldest son, who had settled the bill with the chef, also followed closely and walked over again.

……

"...Then master, let's go now..."

Packed up the last table, put it away, and put it in the car,

The chef and a few helpers got into two cars one after another. After saying hello,

The car drove out of the yard.

In the empty courtyard, as the sound of the car went away, it became more and more quiet.

Only the original square table in the old lady's house was left, which was still placed in the yard.

……

"...Mom, we told you before to let you move to live with Big Brother."

The middle-aged man watched the chef leave with the table and chairs, then turned back, bent over, looked at his mother who was hunched over in the chair and sat silently, and said aloud.

Hearing the sound, the old lady slowly raised her head again, looking at her second son,

Shaking his head again,

"...I'm not going, I'm right here..."

"...Mom, if you really don't want to go, we discussed it again just now..."

Looking at his elder brother and his younger sister again, the middle-aged man squatted down in front of the old lady,

"As for us, we will take turns to accompany you, Mom... These days, we still need to deliver candles at night, so it's just me and the fourth child who will accompany you here. We brothers and sisters will take turns coming later... ..."

The old lady listened, turned her head slowly, looked at the second son squatting in front of her and the other children beside her,

Turning his head slowly again, he looked in the direction of the funeral before,

"...Mom doesn't need you to accompany me, you all have your own affairs..."

Stretching out her hand, the old lady stroked the hair of her second son squatting in front of her with her wrinkled and deformed hand.

Turning his head slowly again, he looked at the empty mourning hall,

"...I'll be with your dad, it's enough for me to stay here and guard your dad."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on the old lady's face,

"...You guys, live your life well... Mom will be relieved, and your father will be relieved, too, relieved..."

Turning some muddy eyes, looking at several children, the old lady said.

……

Glancing at the old lady and the old lady's children, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, holding the disposable paper cup, drinking the tea in the cup, listening to the voices ringing in the ear with the breeze.

……

"...Mom, if you still don't let us come over to accompany you, you can only live with the elder brother..."

The standing middle-aged woman heard the old lady's words, squatted down quickly, and said,

"...Yes, Mom, you are not in good health. Dad was there before, and now Dad is... gone... We can't rest assured that you are here alone."

The rest of the sons and daughters followed suit.

The old lady looked at the children who were squatting in front of her, and fell silent again. She just turned her somewhat muddy eyes, watching each one,

"...Mom, just let us come and stay with you, we will take turns to come here one by one, we won't delay much..."

The old lady listened, just silent.

"... If you don't speak, Mom, we will take it as your agreement."

"...The fourth brother and I are here to accompany you these few days..."

The middle-aged man looked at his mother and said.

The old lady was silent, looking at her children with some muddy eyes, then slowly turned her head and looked into the room.

"mom……"

The middle-aged man followed the old lady's line of sight, looked at it, then turned back, looked at his mother, and called out.

"...Your father's clothes...are all his clothes burned...Winter clothes are also burned...It's already winter, and the weather is getting colder...I can't live without winter clothes..."

The old lady looked into the room and said,

"... Burned, when I was buried... I found it out of the cabinet, my father's clothes were burned... There are also winter clothes..."

The middle-aged man paused when he heard the words, and then said to the old lady.

"...Beside the bed, on the top of the cabinet, there is another piece in the woven pocket... I went to the town to buy new clothes for him. Your dad tried it on once, and he didn't wear it again. He said he would keep it for the New Year. It’s time to wear it...you take it out for him...at night, burn it too..."

The old lady looked into the room, fell silent for a while, and then spoke again.

"...Okay, Mom."

The middle-aged man nodded and responded.

The old lady turned her head slowly, and looked at her children again.

"... buzz, buzz..."

At this moment, beside the old lady, in the pocket of the older son's trousers, the phone rang with vibrations.

"……Hey?"

"...Is the child sick?"

The eldest son answered the phone, followed closely, his face became anxious.

After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone in a hurry, looked at his mother, opened his mouth, but hesitated for a while, and didn't say anything.

"...is Chuchu sick?"

The old lady looked at her eldest son and said aloud,

"...Go back quickly, send the child to the hospital, don't delay the child..."

"...Then mother...then I will go back to lie down first, and the child will be sent to the hospital, and I will come over."

The eldest son, after hesitating for a while, said to the old lady,

Turning around again, he yelled at the people on the other side of the yard,

"...Xingcheng, your mother called and said that Chu Chu was ill and her stomach hurts badly..."

Over there, the eldest son's son and daughter-in-law also became anxious when they heard the sound.

Several people hurried to the car parked in the yard of another house.

The vehicle started, and several people left from the old lady's house,

In the yard, it became more and more quiet.

Chapter 461 In the Yard

"...Mom, let me help you into the house. The wind is blowing, don't catch a cold later."

Watching her eldest son's family leave, the old lady turned her head slowly, her somewhat muddy gaze was lowered, looking at the yard, as if in a trance.

The middle-aged woman looked in the direction her elder brother left, then turned her head, looked at the yard again, then bent down and said to her mother.

"... just sit here for a while."

The old lady looked at her daughter and shook her head.

"...Then Mom, I'll get you a blanket, you can cover it... Is there a blanket in the cabinet?"

The middle-aged woman spoke aloud, then turned around and prepared to walk into the house,

"... There is a thin blanket. Your father is afraid of the cold but not the heat... In winter, he needs to cover the bed with more quilts. I am a little afraid of the heat, so I bought a small blanket. When I slept, he covered him On the quilt over there..."

The old lady turned her somewhat cloudy eyes, looked into the main room, looked at the bedroom near the side of the courtyard with the curtains drawn, and said aloud,

"...When it's night, let him burn it too."

"...OK, Mom... I'll go get it."

The middle-aged woman stopped her feet when she heard her mother's words.

The middle-aged man answered, called the middle-aged woman, and walked into the house.

The old lady looked at her son, then slowly turned her head back and fell silent.

……

Drinking tea, looking at the yard, without turning his head or saying anything, Lian Ge listened quietly.

Just as the empty sun was slanting to the west, towards the ground, the sun was shining in the yard, and it seemed to be blown away by the chilly wind, falling on the yard without much warmth,

The paper money scattered in the yard was swept up by the breeze, or towards the village road, or towards the open door of the main house,

In the main room, the place where the mourning hall was set up before was empty, and the piles of paper money and ashes that had not been cleaned also trembled slightly with the breeze blowing in.

……

"...Mom, here...that blanket is too big, it's time to mop the floor in a while, Mom, take this coat and cover it."

The middle-aged man came out of the house again, holding a slightly larger piece of clothing in his hand, walked up to his mother, and covered his mother carefully.

The old lady raised her head and looked at her son with some cloudy eyes.

"……it is good……"

Nodding slowly, the old lady responded.

……

"... buzz, buzz..."

At this moment, another mobile phone rang with vibration in the pocket of the old lady's third son.

Hearing the sound, the third son took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button.

"...What's the matter, we've arrived at the high-speed rail station..."

The third son held the phone to his ear, first said something, and then, it seemed that something was said on the other side of the phone, and the third son's face turned pale.

"……What's wrong?"

The middle-aged man on the side looked at his younger brother's appearance and asked aloud,

"... Something happened to Xingde..."

The third son seemed a little panicked, first took the phone from his ear, and put it in his pocket trembling.

Immediately afterwards, the face became anxious,

"... He has to go back to school in the evening. Go catch the high-speed train in the afternoon. Just after Dad was buried... I let him go by car... Just now, the hospital called and said that there was a car accident on the way to the high-speed rail station... "

"...How is the person? Why don't you go to the hospital quickly."

"...Yes, go to the hospital, go to the hospital..."

A little panicked, the third son said, and was about to run to the side,

But immediately after, he stopped his feet, turned around, and looked at his mother,

"……mom……"

"...Hurry up and go to the hospital. Mom has your second brother and fourth brother here."
