The old lady looked at her third son and said aloud.

"...Then I'll go, Mom, wait a minute, when Xingde is settled down, I'll come over again..."

After saying another word, the third son ran towards the yard next to him in a panic, and couldn't help but staggered again.

"...Xingyi, come and take your uncle to the hospital...Third brother, don't drive like this."

The middle-aged man yelled at his son on the other side of the yard, then turned around and yelled at his younger brother.

The third son nodded when he heard the sound, and then continued to walk quickly towards the car parked in front of another house. On the other side of the yard, the middle-aged man's son also ran over quickly after hearing the sound.

Two more people left the yard, and the yard became more and more quiet.

……

"...Young man, let me mix some tea for you."

"Thank you."

Just as the empty sun was gradually slanting towards the west, it was reflected in the yard, and the shade under the shelter of the houses gradually extended to the side of the village road.

The old lady was still hunched over, sitting on the chair in the yard, silent, with some cloudy eyes, in a trance, in a trance, looking at the yard, looking at the empty main room,

The middle-aged woman walked to Lian Ge's side, said something aloud, took the disposable paper cup, and walked towards the house.

Beside the yard, the middle-aged man was on the phone. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and walked back.

The old lady's cloudy eyes moved, she turned her head slowly, and looked at her son again,

"... Xingde is fine, just a little skin trauma. But if the third child comes here again, I'm afraid it will be night."

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

"... As long as the child is fine... If it's late at night, let him not come here... Come back tomorrow..."

Nodding, the old lady said something first, then turned her head, looked at the empty mourning hall, and said again.

"...Then I'll call him later."

The middle-aged man nodded and agreed.

"...here, lad."

The middle-aged woman came back with tea, and put the tea on the table in front of Lian Ge.

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, and then looking at the old lady's family, Lian Ge didn't say anything more,

Picking up the teacup, he took another sip of tea.

……

"...Mom, the sun is slowly going down, and the wind in the yard is getting colder and colder, why don't we go inside."

The middle-aged woman raised her head to look at the sky, then turned her head and said to her mother.

The old lady heard the sound, looked around the yard again, then slowly turned her head, looking in the direction of the funeral,

"... let's go into the house..."

Silently, looking around, the old lady turned around slowly and nodded.

"...Then let's help you...Mom, be careful on your feet..."

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she reached out to support her mother, then turned her head and looked at Lian Ge,

"...Young man, come in and sit inside, it's getting colder and colder outside."

Glancing at the middle-aged woman and the old lady being supported, Lian Ge nodded, stood up again, squatted down with a teacup, and walked into the house with the family.

……

"...Mom, let me help you into the house."

The middle-aged woman helped the old lady into the main room, looked at the piles of paper money and ashes in the main room, and the shelf left to support the wooden boards before, then turned around and said to her mother.

"... right here."

Also looking at the mourning hall that was set up before, the old lady said aloud.

"...Then... I'll go clean it up."

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a while, and helped the old lady sit down on the seat brought in by the middle-aged man.

"...It's out of order..."

The old lady sat down, shook her head slowly, looked at her son and daughter with cloudy eyes,

"...Mom wants to eat some glutinous rice balls made by you tonight, can you cook some for mom..."

"...Mom, you want to eat glutinous rice balls, then I'll make noodles right away."

The middle-aged woman was a little happy when she heard the sound,

"...Brother, take care of Mommy, I'll go down there with you."

After saying a few more words, the middle-aged woman walked towards the kitchen.

"……OK,"

The middle-aged man responded, walked to the door of the main room, and closed the door half of the main room.

……

Holding the teacup, standing aside, glanced at the old lady, and then at the hall,

Lian Ge turned his gaze back and didn't say much.

Chapter 462

The hall door is half closed, half ajar,

In the main room, several piles of uncleaned paper money and ashes were still piled up.

The old lady sat on the seat, hunched over, a little silent, looking at the empty main room with muddy eyes, turning her eyes from time to time to look at her son,

The old lady's second son, the middle-aged man squatted in front of the old lady, talking to the old lady,

"...When I was a child during the Lantern Festival, when Mom made glutinous rice balls, we gathered around the table. We thought it was fun, and wanted to make them too. The glutinous rice balls were big and small... Some of them couldn't eat the stuffing... ..."

The breeze swayed the half-closed door of the main room, blowing into the main room, trembling the piles of paper money and ashes.

Standing aside, holding the cup of tea, Lian Ge looked at the room, quietly listening to the voices ringing in his ears.

……

"...Young man, sit down too."

The middle-aged man who was talking to the old lady turned around again and greeted Lian Ge,

"Thank you."

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge thanked him, pulled a stool from the side, and sat down.

"...Mom, I remember you like glutinous rice balls stuffed with brown sugar. The elder brother likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus, the third child likes to eat red bean paste, and the fourth child likes to eat sugar and lard..."

The middle-aged man turned his head again, smiled, and said to his mother,

"...you..."

The old lady slowly turned her turbid gaze, looked at her son squatting in front of her, said something, raised her hand again, stroked her son's hair, and didn't say any more,

The middle-aged man looked at his mother with a smile on his face and didn't speak any more.

……

"...Mom, the noodles are ready. I checked in the refrigerator and there is still some brown sugar... Do you think you should make it now or later."

An apron was put on the clothes, and some flour was stained on the apron, and the middle-aged woman came out from the kitchen with a basin.

"...you..."

The old lady looked at her daughter who was walking in front of her, and said something more, stretched out her hand, and patted the flour on the middle-aged woman,

The middle-aged woman stood there, smiling, looking at her mother.

……

"...Mom, the glutinous rice balls should be wrapped now or later. If you want to wrap them, I'll take out the brown sugar and boil the water. After the water boils, I can pour the glutinous rice balls down."

"... pack it now... you can bring another stool..."

The middle-aged woman held the basin and asked again aloud,

The old lady patted the flour dust on her daughter again, looked at her daughter, and said aloud.

"...I'll get the stool and the brown sugar. Fourth brother, go and boil the water."

"……Row."

The middle-aged man stood up and took the basin from the middle-aged woman's hand,

The middle-aged woman responded, wiped the flour on her hands on her apron, and walked into the kitchen.

The middle-aged man turned around, first took a stool, put it in front of the old lady, put the basin containing the reconciled noodles on the stool, and then walked towards the kitchen.

The old lady sat on the chair, bent her body, turned her somewhat cloudy eyes, looked at the children who were busy back and forth in the room, and then slowly lowered her head, a little silent.

……

"...Young man, can you eat glutinous rice balls? If you don't like them, I'll cook some rice in the pot later."

After boiling the water in the pot, the middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen again, looked at Lian Ge, and asked aloud,

"Tangyuan is fine, thank you." Holding the tea, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged woman and replied.

"You're welcome."

The middle-aged woman nodded, turned around again, took a stool, and sat down in front of the old lady.

And the middle-aged man also came out of the kitchen with a whole bag of brown sugar, two small spoons, and a large plate dusted with some dry flour.

……

"...Mom, let's pack it, you can rest."

The old lady sat up straight, and sat a little further,

The middle-aged man put the sugar on the stool, beside the basin, and said aloud,

The old lady shook her head slowly, stretched out her hand, pulled off a small ball of dough from the dough, kneaded it, and then flattened it a little bit, held the slightly deformed thumb against it, turned it around, and spread the dough again more

Holding the spoon in the other hand, pressed a small piece from the brown sugar block, put it on the dough, closed it again, rounded it, and put it on the plate.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman stretched out their hands and wrapped them up.

……

"...You, the glutinous rice balls are spread too thinly, if you put them in the pot after a while, they will leak."

The old lady wrapped glutinous rice balls and said to her son and daughter,

Middle aged man and middle aged woman listening with smiles on their faces,

There are more and more wrapped glutinous rice balls on the plate covered with dry flour.

……

"...Okay, let's put these glutinous rice balls into the pot first... Let's eat it for a few nights, that's enough."

"...Okay, Mom."

On the two stools next to it, on a few plates, there were some glutinous rice balls wrapped in dry flour,

The old lady looked at it and said something,

The middle-aged woman responded, and walked into the kitchen with a few plates of glutinous rice balls.

"...Second brother, go get some more plates..."

"...The remaining glutinous rice balls, Mom will make them...you can put them in the refrigerator in a while..."

Turning her head again, she said something to her second son, the old lady fell silent again, and then said,
