Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

late at night.

Jiang Tongtu was awakened by the urge to pee. He put on his shoes with half-closed eyes, groped his way to the corner, and urinated into a pottery jar, feeling refreshed all over.

He completely forgot what his aunt told him before going to bed.

"Oh oh oh-"

"Cluck-"

"twitter--"

Jiang Fubao woke up from his dream accompanied by the crowing of chickens in the backyard and the chirping of birds flying in the sky.

She put on her clothes, climbed down from the bed obediently, took the quail eggs and millet from under the bed, and walked out of the room.

After brushing his teeth and having his grandmother help him wash his face, Jiang Fubao held a small bowl and sat in the yard with his brothers to eat breakfast.

I had egg custard this morning.

These days of nourishment.

Not just herself.

Everyone in the Jiang family has gained a lot of weight.

Especially grandma, after she gained weight, the wrinkles on her face became less.

Looks three or four years younger.

"Mom, why are the face cloths you use so soft? Do you have any more at home? When I leave, bring me one back."

Jiang Sanhe finished her breakfast in the kitchen and came out and said to her mother.

"No more, no more, just used up."

Zhang Jinlan took a mouthful of the egg custard, slurped it into her mouth, and replied to her daughter without even raising her head.

She didn't lie, there was indeed no one left at home.

"Mom, you are so stingy. If you don't give it to me, forget it."

But Jiang Sanhe didn't believe it. She thought her mother was deliberately not wanting to give it.

She went back to the house with a pout in anger.

"Don't lie down. Sleep until dawn. You get up later than the children. You lie down after eating. Do you treat yourself like a pig? Get up and go to the mountain with me and your sisters-in-law to dig wild vegetables."

Jiang Sanhe’s butt hasn’t even touched the bed yet.

He was dragged out by his own mother.

"Grandma, my aunt didn't get up too late. She came to my room to get it before daybreak. Um..."

Jiang Tong was halfway through his speech.

Jiang Sanhe covered his mouth tightly.

"What's going on? Why are you covering the child's mouth? Tongtu, what did your aunt take from your room before dawn? Huh? Tell me quickly——"

Zhang Jinlan slapped her daughter's arm away with a puzzled look on her face.

Only then did he rescue his grandson.

"No, it's okay." Jiang Tongtu wanted to continue speaking, but he saw his aunt standing behind his grandmother with her eyes wide open.

He was a little scared, and after he said that, his eyes avoided the question and he hid in the kitchen with the bowl in his hands.

"This kid is talking halfway. What the hell is he doing here?"

Zhang Jinlan looked at Weng.

Very speechless.

"Mom, let's go. Didn't you say we were going to the mountains?"

It seemed as if he was afraid that his nephew would let the cat out of the bag again.

Jiang Sanhe hurriedly urged Zhang Jinlan.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The Jiang family's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and Jiang Sanhe left home and walked towards the path at the foot of the mountain.

Go halfway.

Encountered a funeral procession.

Standing in the front were the old couple Wang.

The two of them cried inconsolably.

Since all the sons in the family had died and there was no one to carry the coffin, they asked the villagers for help.

After all, there is only one head.

The coffin is not heavy.

Several people lifted it easily.

Zhang Jinlan quickened her pace.

It's very unlucky to see a coffin as soon as you go out.

Jiang Fubao, who had just finished breakfast, also saw the coffin passing by his door.

She chased after him out of curiosity.

Only then did they realize that the funeral procession was heading north at the foot of the mountain.

It was a wasteland there. If you walked around the bottom of the mountain for less than fifteen minutes, you would see a pile of graves. Almost everyone who died in Jiangjia Village was buried there.

It's not too far from the village, the location is just right.

"Fubao, come back quickly. It's not good for children to see these."

Jiang Fubao wanted to take a few more glances, but Qian Xile hugged him back.

hateful!

The body is too small.

All actions are hindered.

Ever since my sister-in-law got married, it seemed like there was an extra human-shaped camera watching her in the house.

People are watching me wherever I go.

"Come on, let's go to the backyard to see the chickens."

It seemed that he noticed that Jiang Fubao was in a bad mood.

Qian Xile carried her to the backyard.

After three consecutive days of boring life, Jiang Fubao protested on the fourth day.

She is going out!

Don't stay at home and 'go to jail'!

It just so happened that Zhang Jinlan was going to the Wang family to discuss the purchase of land, so she took Jiang Fubao's hand.

Walk to the village entrance together.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

The door of Jiang Yidao's house was tightly closed, and Zhang Jinlan knocked a few times.

There was no movement inside.

"Is anyone there? Open the door!"

"Knock Knock Knock-"

This time she shouted and knocked, and finally someone inside responded.

The one who opened the door was Xiao Wang.

Her eyes were very red and swollen, and she looked haggard.

Almost heartbroken.

"Aunt, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Wang asked in a trembling voice.

You can tell from the sound that she just cried.

"Please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. You three mothers must be well, otherwise your husband will not be at peace, right? You still have two children to accompany you. Don't cry and hurt your body. I heard a few days ago that your parents-in-law wanted to sell land? My family happened to want to buy it, so I thought I had nothing to do now, so I came to ask."

Xiao Wang was so sad.

Zhang Jinlan didn't know how to speak directly.

She first pretended to show concern.

This brings us to the main topic.

"Thank you, auntie. I will live well for the sake of my child. Come in. Dad and Mom do want to sell the land. To be honest, once the land is sold, we will have to go to town."

The Wang family is okay.

Not the unreasonable one.

When she heard Zhang Jinlan's persuasion, there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

She stepped aside.

Let the grandparents and grandchildren in.

"Mom, Aunt Zhang from the Jiang family is here. She said she wants to buy some land."

Xiao Wang didn't enter the house. She shouted towards the main room and went to the kitchen to pour water.

There are chairs in the yard.

Zhang Jinlan pulled her granddaughter to sit down.

She didn't want to go into the main room either.

The coffin was placed there a few days ago.

She doesn't want to be tainted by bad luck.

"Zhang, you want to buy land? My family has a total of six acres of land, three acres of first-class good land, and three acres of second-class good land. Which one do you want?"

Mrs. Wang thought Zhang Jinlan only bought one acre, so she asked in a low voice.

Not only that, she also walked out of the house slowly, holding on to the wall.

After not seeing her for a few days, she has lost a lot of weight.

His face was sallow and his eyes looked cloudy. If you didn't know better, you would think he had cried his eyes blind.

Zhang Jinlan complained in her heart but didn't show it on her face.

"Take both. The sooner the better. We need to plant the brown rice before it gets too hot. Today is worse than tomorrow. How about today? After buying it, go find the clan leader to sign the deed. I'll pay you the money and go to the town tomorrow to find the steward to seal the deed."

Zhang Jinlan has an impatient temper.

Since you have decided to buy the Wang family’s land.

She just wanted to get it done as soon as possible.

If we delay any longer, the sun will get hotter and hotter.

I’m afraid that brown rice won’t survive if planted.

"Okay, wait for me. I'll change my clothes and go to the headman's house with you."

Mrs. Wang was also anxious. All her sons had died, and her only hope now was a grandson.

The couple are in poor health and often suffer from back pain, so they cannot do heavy farm work.

There is so much land that it is impossible to cultivate it all.

It would be better to sell it and go to town to do small business.
