Chapter 208 Abnormal
When I heard that the old lady was dying, I knew without a doubt that my grandmother might be dying.
Zhang Jing led the two little ones to Master Liu's house, while Zhao Yi took the prepared gifts home.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Master Liu saw Zhang Jing hurriedly walk into the door and asked.
"Master, please help me look after Dabao and Xuanxuan for a few days. Brother Yi and I will go back to Lijia Village. I heard that the old lady at home is not doing well."
Zhang Jing looked at her master and said.
"Okay, go slowly along the way, don't be too anxious."
When Zheng Bo heard that the two little guys could stay for two days, he was very happy. Apart from his own grandchildren, his favorites were Zhao Peng and Zhao Xuanxuan. However, his grandchildren rarely came over after they entered junior high school.
At this time, Zhao Yi had already contacted a tractor and paid three yuan for the fare to take the two to Shanyang County.
As for the bus station, there is only one bus a day, and there is one at noon. There will be two more buses after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
When Zhang Jing arrived at the department store, Zhao Yi had prepared a woolen coat for her.
It is still a bit cold to ride on a tractor in this kind of weather, so it is much better to prepare an extra piece of clothing.
evening.
The two finally arrived in Shanyang County. The transportation department had also been off work by then. If they wanted to go to Lijia Village, they could either walk or borrow a bicycle to ride there.
It got dark early and there was little light on the road. In addition, there was thick snow, so Zhao Yi didn't dare to take Zhang Jing on a bicycle ride at night.
I went to my second aunt's house, borrowed a flashlight, and rushed towards Lijia Village.
When Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing arrived at Lijia Village, they could still hear bursts of chatting and the light of fire not far away, and they knew that the old lady had passed away.
"Xiao Yi is here."
The people who were keeping watch around the fire at the door saw Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing coming over late at night, and hurried forward to hand them a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, which they had made themselves while keeping watch.
"When did it happen?"
After drinking the ginger soup, Zhao Yi looked at his cousin Li Baoguo and asked.
"Yesterday."
Li Baoguo nodded.
"Tiedan's mom, take Xiaoyi and Xiaojing to rest quickly. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything. You go and rest first. I know you're the only one at the department store, and you can't take any leave. You can stay here for a day and then go back. The villagers can help if there's anything here."
Li Baoguo was not very sad. The old lady was over 80 years old, so it was a happy funeral. The family had enjoyed good food and drink for several years since they got better, and he had seen his great-grandson go to middle school, so he had no regrets.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing couldn't help much here, and they didn't need to wear mourning clothes. Everyone had already felt their intention to come and visit, and they had braved the cold all the way from the county town in the middle of the night.
After hearing what Li Baoguo said, Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing did not insist and followed him to the room to rest.
early morning.
Before dawn, Zhao Yi heard his mother crying.
At this time, my second aunt and my eldest aunt were persuading my mother Li Daju to be more open-minded, saying that the old lady was dead and could not be resurrected.
As soon as Zhao Yi walked out the door, he saw a few people he didn't want to see, and his face immediately fell.
As expected, the three ungrateful bastards also followed, and seemed to have arrived earlier than Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi.
Zhao Gang's wife originally wanted to go up and say hello to Zhang Jing, but when she saw Zhao Yi's long face, she stopped immediately.
He knew that Zhao Yi and his boss were not getting along.
As for what was happening here, Li Daju was too sad to care about it. As for her father Zhao Dahai, he was chatting with his father-in-law at the moment. He followed her because he was worried that the old man was too sad.
Naturally, there is no time to take care of this.
However, the eldest uncle Li Dashun and the second uncle Li Dalin noticed the situation here and asked Li Baohua to come over and invite Zhao Yi to their home.
"cousin."
Seeing Zhao Yi, Li Baohua shouted with a smile.
"Xiaohua."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"You didn't get enough rest yesterday. We've prepared breakfast over there. You and your sister-in-law can go over there to eat first. After dinner, we'll send you to the city. You and your sister-in-law can't help much here. You'll still be busy at the department store."
Li Baohua took Zhao Yi and walked towards his home.
Everyone in the Li family knew their cousins, but only Zhao Yi treated them like relatives. As for Zhao Gang's family, they treated them differently depending on the person. When Li Baoguo went to a banquet, he entertained them meticulously, but those of them who had no jobs just greeted him verbally.
Knowing that Zhao Yi didn't want to see them, they let Zhao Yi go back to the region first. As for the old lady's death, Zhao Yi was not needed to do any work, nor was he needed to be the abbot.
Leaving Zhao Yi here to watch the three people would make him feel uncomfortable, and everyone in the Li family has already felt what they meant.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Seeing Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing, Li Baoqin and Li Baoyu shouted happily.
"Cook some sugar-water eggs for my sister-in-law and the others. After they finish eating, please help me send my brother and sister-in-law back to the county town."
Li Baohua said with a smile.
Originally, the family had agreed to invite Zhao Yi to come over after the burial date was confirmed in two days. After all, all the people Zhao Yi didn't want to see were there, so they didn't notify Zhao Yi as soon as the old lady died.
Instead, only Zhao Dahai and Li Daju were notified.
Go and inform Li Daju, Zhao Gang and the others will definitely follow.
After considering this, everyone made this decision. I don't know where Zhao Yi got the news, but he rushed over in the middle of the night in the wind and snow.
Just after breakfast, my eldest uncle and second uncle came in, supporting my grandfather.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyi and Xiaojing. If you are busy, go back first. Come over to play on the tenth day of the first lunar month. We will be here to guard it."
Seeing his elder uncle and second uncle also coming over to explain, Zhao Yi nodded.
"Xiao Yi."
Grandpa shouted in his old and weak voice.
"Grandpa, you have to take care of yourself."
Zhao Yi came to his grandfather's side, gently grabbed his grandfather's hand and said.
"Alas, everyone will go through this step when they get old. Now we have good food and a good life, all because of you. I know you have some knots in your heart that you can't untie, and you don't want to see some people. I understand your feelings, so you can go back first and come back to play when you are free."
Grandpa was very happy to see Zhao Yi. Whether it was the work of his grandson Li Baoguo or the job of collecting eggs for his son, it was Zhao Yi who was busy running around.
Even the grandson's wife, who works with a sewing machine in Gongyuan Hutong, still relies on the share Zhao Yi got from the department store for most of her income. Zhao Yi has helped the Li family a lot.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Zhao Yi nodded and didn't say any more polite words. He just didn't want to see those people.
We chatted about family matters for a while and explained some things afterwards.
Li Baoqin and Li Baoyu sent Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing to the county town.
When they arrived at the county town, Zhao Yi hired a tractor for the two girls to take them back to the village.
"Boss, what do you think uncle and his friends mean by this?"
Zhang Jing didn't react. Why did they let Zhao Yi and herself leave first? This was too abnormal. In the past, they had always been treated very warmly, and they were reluctant to let them leave and would not let them go.
"Because these three ungrateful people don't want to see me in a dilemma."
Zhao Yi explained with a smile.
