The smile on Lu Chuan's face faded, and he hesitated to speak.
After a long while, he said softly, “Alas, I don’t know how to explain this matter.
At the beginning, my family didn’t agree with me buying a house there.
Later, my plan to become a contractor was involved, and there was some unpleasantness between me and my wife.
When I brought up this topic with her this time, she was reluctant to go out.
Outside, she not only has to take care of two kids by herself, but also has to do laundry and cook. At home, she has nothing to do, at least she has her parents to help her.
I'm really confused right now. I originally wanted to let my mother go with me, but the old couple didn't want to leave.
Although my father resigned from his position as team leader, his heart is still tied to the fields.
Now I don’t care, if they want to go with me, then they can go, if not, then they can stay at home.”
Lu Zhiye couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs. He put down his palm-leaf fan and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to the county town this afternoon. I'll buy a ticket for tomorrow morning."
Lu Chuan rubbed his hands and said, "Let's not take the plane, shall we?
Yes, yes, otherwise, you can go by plane and I will buy you a train ticket."
Airline tickets nowadays cost several hundred dollars, which is simply too much for ordinary people to afford.
Seeing that he was determined to persist, Lu Zhiye understood what he was thinking, nodded and said, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I have to leave early.
I have to go back to Beijing before Pengcheng gets too busy."
Lu Chuan nodded repeatedly.
But their plan was delayed after all.
At night, every household is brightly lit.
Lu Zhiye was packing up the pickles sent by Lu San's grandmother when he suddenly heard panicked noises coming from outside.
Lu Yong slammed the door, and when Lu Zhiye opened it, he said with sweat all over his forehead, "Brother Ye, I remember that you were the one who brought Grandpa Han and the others from Liyuan here, right?
Something happened to the old couple, are there any relatives at home?"
Lu Zhiye was shocked: "Something happened?"
Lu Yong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "In the evening, my father and Secretary He went to the opera house and shouted for a long time outside, but no one responded.
The two looked into the room and saw Mr. Han and Mrs. Han, both neatly dressed, lying on the bed. When they touched them, they were dead.
Hey, you said it was all right, what did you say happened? "
At the beginning, Qiao Qianqian also lived with Grandpa Han and his family for a period of time.
The two families have a close relationship. When Qiao Qianqian heard the news, she fainted immediately.
Lu Zhiye quickly pushed Lu Yong aside and strode towards the Pear Garden.
Lu Yong hurriedly followed him and chattered beside him: "I don't know if this old couple has any relatives.
I saw them yesterday and they were fine. My father told me that they were determined to die.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be dressed neatly and walk together as an old couple.”
Lu Zhiye's face was as dark as ink, and his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
A few days ago in the morning, when Han Qing left, Lu Zhiye heard from Mr. Lu Sanye that the old couple was going to the county town.
Logically speaking, after seeing their grandson, the old couple should have hope in life and live better and better, right?
Why did you suddenly decide to die?
When Lu Zhiye arrived at the Pear Garden, there was already a large crowd of people surrounding him.
When everyone saw him coming, they quickly made way for him.
Secretary He trotted forward and said, "Xiao Lu, Mr. and Mrs. Han are gone, do they have any relatives?
We have to see each other one last time, right? "
Lu Zhiye glanced around and said in a low voice: "No, everyone in their family has passed away."
"Oh, what should we do? Otherwise, can our village do something about it?"
Secretary He was scratching his head in worry.
Captain Lu took a deep puff of his cigarette and then said, “Our family will do it for Mr. Han.
Thinking back, my daughter-in-law also learned a lot from Mr. Han, and she is half a master. "
Secretary He waved his hands repeatedly: "How can that be possible?
Over the years, Mr. Han has made a lot of contributions to the opera house. So, let’s put it this way: the money will be paid by the brigade.
Besides, the old man’s food for this year hasn’t been distributed yet, so we can just deduct it from that later.”
Originally, everyone had no objection to Secretary He's previous sentence, saying that there was no one in the team.
But when he heard what was about to be taken from the old man's food, he swallowed the words back.
Captain Lu sighed and turned to look at Lu Yong and Qiao Qianqian: "It will be just the two of you who will keep vigil for the next few days."
Lu Yong held Qiao Qianqian's shoulders and she couldn't stand.
His eyes were red and swollen, and tears flowed down his cheeks as he spoke.
The bond between her parents is shallow, and the bond between her ancestors is even less.
So at the beginning, Grandpa Han treated her as his own daughter, and she really treated Grandma Han and Grandpa Han as her relatives.
Captain Lu glanced at the people around him again and said loudly: "Everyone in the village should help out and do what they need to do."
Although he resigned from the position of captain, his influence remains.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After everyone left, the courtyard was suddenly empty, and the people left were basically all members of the Lu family.
Everyone stayed to help out of Lu Yong's family.
Lu Zhiye walked quickly into the house and glanced around the small room, but didn't find anything wrong.
The old couple were still lying quietly on the bed, wearing new clothes and with their hands crossed on their abdomens.
They looked like they had passed away peacefully, but Lu Zhiye felt that the way they looked was a little strange.
Secretary He saw Lu Zhiye go in and wanted to check it out, but was stopped by Captain Lu: "After all, these two people were brought here by Xiao Lu.
Perhaps the two elderly people still have relatives, but they are just not convenient to say it out loud.
Let Xiao Lu help pack up their belongings and hand them over to their descendants when it is convenient!
All of us in the village should not get involved and just take care of the funeral.”
Secretary He felt that Captain Lu's words were biased, so he sighed and said, "If there really were descendants alive, why wouldn't they come to take a look if such a big thing happened?
As the saying goes, death is the greatest thing, no matter what the reason is...”
Before Secretary He could finish his words, he suddenly got stuck, and then his eyes dimmed.
Yes, there is a situation where contact will lead to disaster.
Some cruel descendants, fearing that their ancestors will bring trouble to themselves, refuse to acknowledge their relatives at all.
Captain Lu glanced at Lu Yong, who immediately understood and stood guard at the door, not letting anyone in.
After Lu Zhiye checked, his eyes suddenly focused and he found something wrong at the window.
The windows here are all low, but they are also half a person's height.
Especially in Liyuan, when the house was built, the windows were specially built a little higher for the two elderly people.
This way, it is safe to guard the Pear Garden at other times.
For example, Lu Zhiye is over 1.8 meters tall, and the window sill is almost up to his chest.
If you want to get in, you have to at least crawl and climb up the window.
