    Listening to Zhang Hongmei's breathing, Li Cuihua knew that the child hadn't slept yet, "Don't think too much about Hongmei, the worst thing is just like this, go to sleep, it will be fine when you fall asleep." Li Cuihua also knew that she said it lightly.

    Zhang Hongmei also forced herself to sleep. Knowing that overthinking is useless, she slowly adjusted her emotions, slowed down her breathing, and finally fell asleep slowly.  But I couldn't sleep well. In my dream, I was running all the time, and I seemed to be chasing after something, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

    Zhang Hongmei woke up suddenly, touched the sweat on her forehead, turned her head to see Li Cuihua fell asleep, took a glass of water from the space and drank it, calmed her heartbeat, and lay on the bed again. She used to sleep on a soft bed, but now  It's really tiring to lie on the big hard Kang.  I turned over and saw that it was only four o'clock, and it was too early.

    Tossing and turning in bed and unable to fall asleep, I simply got up and got dressed, put on the filial piety clothes outside, went to kneel in front of the coffin, and lit the paper money.  There is no wind at all now, but it is cold and bleak.

    Yu Chenglong didn't close his eyes at all, he quietly went out of the house when he heard the movement, saw Zhang Hongmei kneeling outside, walked over and squatted beside her.

    "Hongmei, you have to mourn, things have happened, and you have to go in the best direction. What are you going to do in the future?"

    "Uncle Yu, I will live a good life and live out my parents' share. I have already signed up for the school, and I will be able to enter the sixth grade of high school soon. The principal teacher sympathized with me and asked me to study at home.  Time to take the test."

    "It's good to be able to go to school, why not go to class?"

    "The land at home needs to be planted, and I have to eat. I can't always rely on others."

    "You don't worry about going to class. We will support you. I wonder if your parents have told you about us? Of the six brothers we sworn, your father is the third and I am the fifth."

    "My parents said, uncle, the second uncle has recovered and returned home, and you are still in the army."

    "Yes, your uncle and second uncle are both from the south. They couldn't come to see you due to physical reasons. Your fourth uncle didn't come over this time because of his mission, and your sixth uncle didn't come here because he was injured."

    "Don't worry about me, I can do it. I don't need you to raise it, and it's not easy for you. Besides, I won't delay my studies when I farm."

    Yu Chenglong looked at this ten-year-old thin girl with firm eyes and made promises to himself, and felt very uncomfortable. This time, the third sister-in-law suffered an unreasonable disaster.  She didn't have to go that time at all, but the order from above had to be carried out.  Can you tell Zhang Hongmei about this?

    "Hongmei, you don't have to work so hard, we can support you."

    "Uncle Yu relies on everyone to run against the mountain, and only by himself is the most sure." Zhang Hongmei and Yu Chenglong chatted without stopping to throw paper money into the brazier.

    What Zhang Hongmei said really made Yu Chenglong unable to refute, "You can rely on yourself, but you can't refuse our help."

    "Sure, you are my uncles."

    Yu Jackie nodded gratifiedly, this is the best, this girl is of good character.

    "I brought all your parents' belongings, in two boxes. I'll take you to the armed forces department in the city tomorrow. If you go to the county in the future, we will get back the pension and living expenses every month.  , will be given to you until you come of age."

    "Okay, sorry for the trouble, Uncle Yu. It must be very difficult for you to take the train with these two big boxes, right?"

    "It's okay, when you get on the bus, your comrades help, and when you get off, there are kind-hearted passengers. Hongmei soldiers are given preferential treatment. Why don't you become a soldier in the future?"

    "I don't know yet, but I don't like the days of fighting and killing. Let's talk about it when the time comes. Maybe I still want to go."

    Zhang Hongmei really doesn't like to move, otherwise she wouldn't have been a top student all the time in her previous life, just because she can sit still.

    But if the trend of history is really the same as in the previous life, then the army is relatively safer, so let¡¯s take a step and see. Anyway, entering the army has a back door to go.

    While chatting and chatting, before I knew it, it was almost dawn, and Li Cuihua also got up, "Why are you so early, Hongmei?"

    "Third Mother, I woke up as soon as I woke up."

    "Comrade Yu got up too? You guys are chatting, I'm going to cook, your grandpa saw that the burial time is ten o'clock, I have to cook for those who raise the bar."

    "San Niang, I don't have any meat in my house. You can put more meat oil, and everyone will be stronger after eating. If the corn bread is not enough, you can steam it for two more pots, so that everyone is full and send it to my parents."

    "In the middle, I see. Your family has a lot of sauerkraut, so you can make sauerkraut and stewed potatoes. A large pot full of meat and oil is enough to eat, and a pot of steamed steamed buns is enough."

    "Look at the arrangement. The vegetables are in the cellar, and the food is in the warehouse."

    At this timeMaocai came with Jianguo and Zhuzi, and so did Wang Hongxi and his wife. The two women cooked, and the men cleaned up the yard and set up the table.

    The five old men came here again with support, and the sixteen strong laborers who were looking for yesterday also came. Wang Hongxi led them to the warehouse of the brigade headquarters first to get the poles. Each of the four poles was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.  There are four people on all sides and one side, and the location is arranged first.

    It was almost eight o'clock before Liu Mao invited everyone to eat. In the morning, there were few people to sit. The old man, Yu Chenglong and the young soldier all ate in the house.

    After eating, the sixteen people first tied the coffin with a thick hemp rope with a rolling pin, and then inserted the bars.  Wang Hongxi chanted the slogan and everyone got up together, carried the coffin and went out.

    As a filial son, Zhang Hongmei had to walk in front of the coffin, holding the earthen jar, bowing her head and crying as she walked.  She was followed by Li Cuihua and Wang Hongxi's wife.  After that is the coffin, on both sides of the coffin are Jianguo and overturned pillars.

    Liu Maocai, Wang Hongxi, and Yu Chenglong followed behind the coffin, followed by men and boys from the village, some of whom held shovels in their hands.  Behind them came the women and girls, with the old men at the rear.

    Of the 173 people in the village, only six pregnant women and three who were paralyzed and unable to get up did not come, and the rest arrived.

    The funeral procession was mighty, and the men all said that they had filial piety belts on their waists.  Women are hanging around the neck.

    Zhang Hongmei looked haggard with a hemp rope around her waist and a white cloth around her legs.

    Because the Zhang family's grandma was buried halfway up the mountain, some people who raised the bar were very strenuous, but they were not allowed to let go on the way, so Yu Chenglong and the others would help on steep places.

    Finally arrived at the cemetery, Wang Hongxi ran to the front and lit a set of firecrackers, and the bearers put the coffin into the pit.

    Zhang Hongmei watched everyone throwing shovel after shovel of soil on the coffin, seeing that there was no trace of the coffin, and wept loudly. Only then did she really feel parting.  It's really a lifetime away, maybe this is Xiao Hongmei's real emotion.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
