The waiter then looked up at Yu Sui, took the money, and gave her a ticket. Yu Sui went to the window to get her meal by herself.
Yu Cheng followed and said, "Sister, aren't we going home to eat? Why are you buying more?"
Yu Sui: "Then just watch me eat."
"Sister!" Yu Cheng stomped his feet.
Yu Sui ignored him, took half a cut chicken, put two bowls of rice on the table, and started eating.
Only then did Yu Cheng pick up a bowl and eat.
Yu Sui finished her meal quickly and put down her chopsticks before saying:
"I'm so happy that you know how to study hard. Since I promised to take you out for dinner, we decided to eat at the commune. Also, don't you see what time it is now? If we ride our bikes back at this time, we'll just catch up with the commune members going to work in the afternoon. Then a lot of people will ask you. One will ask, 'Yu Cheng, where have you been?' Another will say, 'Yu Cheng, I heard you're going to high school.' Some will say, 'Yu Cheng, you're wasting money. Yu Cheng, you want to be the top scorer too.' And so on and so forth, right? Why bother?"
Yu Chengguai nodded in agreement: "That's true! Sister, you are really thoughtful. You are very thoughtful now. It's just such a delicious chicken, and only the two of us eat it... I feel..."
Yu Cheng looked around before finishing his words: "...I feel really guilty. Let's take the rest back to our parents and eldest sister, shall we?"
Yu Sui: "You can eat this. I've thought about it. I'll deduct the one yuan change I gave you for the first month, and add fifty cents to buy half a piece for our parents and eldest sister. Do you agree?"
Yu Cheng nodded immediately: "Sure. I can go to school because of you. I won't give you any money."
"That's settled then."
Yu Sui went to buy half one.
Well, I didn’t intend to give Yu Chengling money in the first place, I just wanted to test his heart.
The knot is good.
If you still think about your parents and elder sister, then it is not "eating".
After the brother and sister had eaten and drunk their fill, they rode their bicycles back home.
When they were about to enter the village, Yu Cheng pointed to the small bay and said, "Sister, look, there are so many people over there. I wonder what they are looking at."
Yu Sui just kept riding: "I don't care what they are doing. I should go home quickly. It's very hot. If it weren't for you signing up, I wouldn't go out in this weather."
Yu Sui rode her bicycle with her back hunched and soon arrived at her doorstep.
But he saw Yu Hemiao holding Yu Chu standing at the door, looking intently towards the east.
Yu Sui rang the bell, and Yu Hemiao turned around, her expression obviously startled: "Oh, you're back so soon, I thought you wouldn't be back until the evening."
Yu Sui got out of the car and looked towards the east end of the village. "Sister, what are you looking at so seriously?"
Yu Hemiao frowned, "Old Octopus is dead! Mom took Lanlan to watch the fun. Oh, I don't know why, but I just feel uncomfortable and jumpy inside."
This news is too sudden.
She was still thinking about observing whether this person was really suffering from Alzheimer's disease, so how could he die? Yu Sui couldn't help but frowned: "When did it happen?"
Yu Hemiao: "I don't know how many dead there were. Someone found them around 10 o'clock, and then there was a commotion. My mother and the others went to check after work."
Yu Sui: "Do you know how he died?"
"I don't know. Mom said someone went to the river to wash their feet and saw the old octopus collapsed on the riverbank. At first, they thought he was sleeping, but after watching him for an hour or two without moving, they went to take a closer look and found he was already dead. They went to call his son over, and that confirmed he was dead."
Yu Sui immediately handed the bicycle to Yu Cheng: "Little brother, take the things and the bicycle into the house, I will go and take a look."
Yu Hemiao called out from behind, "Sui, you can watch the excitement from outside, but don't go near where the body is being held. It's bad luck. If you see Mom, tell her to bring Lanlan back quickly."
"I understand, sister."
Yu Sui answered her sister like this, but she was thinking in her heart, a person died, and died on the riverbank, isn't this considered an abnormal death, shouldn't we call the police?
Why would they stop the funeral immediately?
In fact, when Yu Sui arrived at Old Octopus's house, the body had indeed been laid to rest.
There are four households in Xiaowantou, and Old Zhangyu's family occupies two of them, namely the families of his eldest son and youngest son.
But now, the place where the body is placed is neither the eldest son's home nor the youngest son's home, but a pig shed located between the two sons' homes.
There were many people watching around. When Yu Sui got closer, she saw Sun Yuying holding Yu Lanlan and stretching her neck to listen to what people were talking about.
Yu Sui walked over and pulled her out: "Mom, don't bring the child to such things."
Sun Yuying shook her head. "Well, I didn't squeeze in. I was just there, hearing about the discovery of the old octopus. Everyone was saying how capable those two sons were. My father was dead, his mouth full of blood, but neither of them wanted to care. It was a few old members of the commune who carried him back. But the eldest son's family wouldn't let him stay there, and there was no one at the youngest son's house, so they temporarily put him in the pigpen. His eldest son said he'd send someone to call the youngest son back and bury him directly without a wake."
Yu Sui: "Ah? But shouldn't this kind of thing be reported to the Public Security Bureau?"
"His eldest son didn't tell me. I saw how happy he was that his father was dead. He was so relieved. Old Octopus is getting demented. He's getting fed up with coming to his house every day. Look, Yu Gaomin is the same. He's about your age. He was laughing when he heard that Old Octopus had died."
Sun Yuying was halfway through her words when she pointed to a young girl not far away.
This was the second time Yu Sui heard the name Yu Gaomin today. It was said that she was a classmate of hers with the same body. So she looked in the direction Sun Yuying pointed.
He is a tall and thin young man with an indifferent look on his face.
Yu Sui: "What's his relationship with Old Octopus?"
Sun Yuying: "Oh, you really are Old Octopus's grandson. When Old Octopus was found dead, people saw him nearby and said, 'Hey, Yu Gaomin, your grandfather is dead. Go get your parents to bring him back.' But he said, 'My parents went to visit relatives yesterday. This is none of my business.' You see, this is the attitude of a grandson!"
Something flashed through Yu Sui's mind: "Grandson? The eldest son's or the youngest son's?"
Sun Yuying: "You act like you don't recognize him! He's the youngest son's son! Chen Xiaofeng's son!"
After confirming Yu Gaomin's identity, Yu Sui couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Youngest son's family? So, the one we met this morning was his mother, Old Octopus's daughter-in-law? Why did he say his parents went to visit relatives yesterday? Didn't we see his mother this morning?"
Sun Yuying nudged her with her elbow. "Hey, what are you talking about? Just take Lanlan back home. I need to watch for a while. Look, they're already talking about burying her directly in the collective cemetery! What a sin! My youngest son and his wife haven't even come back yet."
