Wang Erming looked at her blankly at first, not knowing what to do. But when he saw me trying to pull Huang Ma, he stepped forward and helped pull Huang Ma.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaoling's cousin hurried forward and pulled Qiao Xiaoling up from the ground.

At this time, Qiao Xiaoling's face was flushed, the white flowers on her head were knocked to the ground, and her hair was scattered, looking very embarrassed.

Huang Yu and Huang Qing came over and helped Huang's mother up, while Huang's father stood in the distance, watching everything happening here coldly.

Friends and relatives did not step forward to dissuade them. Some just stood there and watched coldly, while others walked quickly in the direction they came from, as if trying to avoid it.

"Qiao Xiaoling, please leave and don't come here again."

Huang Yu glanced at Qiao Xiaoling coldly, helped Huang Ma up and slowly left.

"You evil bastard, how dare you come here?"

Huang Qing spat on the ground and cursed.

Qiao Xiaoling lowered her head and stood there woodenly, saying sorry over and over again, tears streaming down her face.

After a while, the mourners dispersed, and even grandma sighed and walked away from her.

In the end, only Wang Erming, Qiao Xiaoling and her cousin were left standing by Huang Bo's new grave.

That small yellow mound of earth, compacted into a cone shape, was particularly conspicuous among a pile of old graves covered with green grass.

Qiao Xiaoling slowly moved to Huang Bo's grave and knelt down again.

"Brother Huang Bo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

She cried heartbreakingly and banged her head on the ground repeatedly.

Wang Erming and I did not go forward to pull her away. We let her repent sincerely, which would also help to dispel Huang Bo's resentment.

"Xiaoling, don't cry. Burn some paper and incense for Huang Bo, and then we'll go back. Your leg isn't healed yet."

Qiao Xiaoling cried for a while, and her cousin came forward to persuade her and put down the big black bag in his hand.

Qiao Xiaoling wiped her tears and took out a pile of paper money from the black bag.

His cousin took out a match and lit it. Qiao Xiaoling continued to wipe her tears and added stacks of fire paper to the fire.

Wang Erming and I also went forward to help her add fire paper.

They brought a lot of fire paper and it took a while to burn them all.

We stayed with Qiao Xiaoling until the fire was completely out, then we got up and left.

Because of her leg pain, Qiao Xiaoling was staggering along the path. Wang Erming and I sent Qiao Xiaoling and her cousin to the bicycle stand on the main road.

"Sister Liu Feng, thank you. We are leaving now."

Qiao Xiaoling said to me while sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.

"You're welcome! Go back and have a rest, take good care of your leg injury, I'll come visit you guys when I have time."

The you I'm talking about are her and Qiao Xiaolan.

Finally, she waved to us, and her cousin picked her up and rode back.

When Wang Erming and I returned to Huang's house, grandma was looking out the door. Lunch was already served, and grandma was waiting for us to finish our meal and then go home.

After dinner, we said goodbye to the Huang family and went back. The Huang family’s affairs came to an end.

But I still have one thing on my mind, which is whether Huang Bo's ghost can go to the underworld to be reincarnated peacefully.

On the way home, grandma asked me if I was the one who called Qiao Xiaoling.

I answered truthfully that she was the one who proposed it and I told her the date.

Grandma nodded and said nothing more.

My grandmother is a very sensible person. She is almost 80 years old, but her mind is not confused at all. Sometimes she thinks more thoroughly than young people.

After returning home, my grandma and I lived a peaceful life again.

During this season, the eel cages can only be lowered into the water plants by the river, because the rice is about to mature and the water in the fields needs to be slowly drained.

Xiao Hei still appears frequently during this period to help me and my grandma drive the fish.

I go to the town with my grandma early in the morning to sell fish, and then go to the river with her to fish in the morning. I take a break at noon, and read and study in the afternoon.

Grandma would be busy in the vegetable garden in the backyard in the afternoon, and when I was cooking in the evening, she would go to the river to set the trap.

Uncle Huang would come over from time to time to join in the fun and chat when my grandma and I were enjoying the cool air. With the Huang family's offerings, he lived a very comfortable life.

One day, no one bought the fish my grandma and I ordered, so we had to wait until 9 o'clock.

When Captain Xiao's police car passed by us, he noticed us and asked the driver to pull over.

"Grandma Xu, Liu Feng, why are you here? Are you selling fish?"

He got out of the car, walked over and asked.

"Xiao Suo, Uncle Xiao."

I called him politely and almost called him the wrong name. He said that I should call him uncle in public. If I didn't call him Director Xiao, he would be unhappy again.

"Why don't we usually see you guys come to town to sell fish?"

Director Xiao asked.

"Oh, Director Xiao, we come here almost every day. We usually sell out early and go back, but we sold out a little late today."

Grandma replied.

"So with so many like you, how much can you usually sell them for?" he continued to ask.

"It can usually be sold for around 10 yuan," said grandma.

"Oh, Aunt Xu, I want all of these today. Please pack them for me." Director Xiao said with a smile.

"Uncle Xiao, there are so many, you can't finish them even if you buy them back. You don't have to help us, they will be sold out in a short time."

I immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to buy everything for us so that my grandma and I could go back earlier.

"It's okay. I'll take the food back to distribute to the employees in the institute."

He chuckled.

After hearing what I said, grandma felt embarrassed to pack the fish for him.

Director Xiao waved to the driver and signaled him to get out of the car. The driver also knew me, so he ran over and greeted me.

"Xiao Huang, take out a big snakeskin bag from the trunk and put all the fish from Liu Feng and the others in it. Today we are giving out welfare, one fish per person."

Director Xiao ordered.

"No, no, Uncle Xiao."

I was still refusing, and the driver, Xiao Huang, responded, took out a big snakeskin bag and stuffed the fish into it.

Grandma tried to stop him but failed, she kept mumbling.

"Oh my! How embarrassing!"

After a while, Xiao Huang packed up all the fish and put them in the trunk.

Director Xiao opened his wallet, took out a 20-dollar bill from it, put it in the grandmother's hand, and then turned and left.

"Director Xiao, there's no need for so much money."

Grandma looked at the 20-yuan bill in her hand and waved her hand quickly.

"No need to look for her, Aunt Xu." Director Xiao jumped into the car.

"Oh, Uncle Xiao, you really don't need to give so much. Let grandma give you the change." I also shouted embarrassedly.

"By the way, Liu Feng, Huang Bo's criminal record has been erased, and his household registration has also been cancelled, so your uncle Huang can rest assured."

Director Xiao also leaned over and said this to me.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao."

Looking at the police car driving away, I expressed my sincere gratitude!

"This Director Xiao is really a good person!"

Grandma said as she poured out the water in the bucket.

"Yes, grandma, I'm lucky. The people I meet are all very nice."

I say this from the bottom of my heart. Since I entered junior high school, everyone I met, including Wang Fang, Zhang Chen, Mayor Wang, and Director Xiao, have been genuinely kind to me.

It seems that the name of the disaster star in my childhood has long been far away from me.
