My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been gone for many years, and according to the practice of several decades, the second day of the first lunar month has come to visit my brother-in-law's house to see and pray for the New Year.
This year, the atmosphere is different, and the eldest brother-in-law (lianyi) has long predicted in the past few years that he will never enter his house again.
Only because the father-in-law was hospitalized for tens of thousands of yuan before his death, he did not settle the bill, and did not ask whether he was right or wrong. The eldest brother-in-law saw that his dear wife was emotionally patient, even if he was willing to honor his old man's family, but as an in-law, he did not pay attention to it and dragged on for so many years.
Knowing that my brother-in-law and brother-in-law were not easy to say anything, I transferred him 20,000 yuan and also took on a little responsibility. But the brother-in-law refused, saying: You do not have to live as a disabled person, and your sister is no longer alive, how can I bear to ask you to bear the obligation?
The year of the tiger roared, and the rain poured out, like the tears hanging from his relatives, thinking of his father-in-law's peaceful face and generous demeanor when he was alive.
That familiar voice brought me back into the picture of his youth, in five. In the 1960s, the Zhejiang-Gansu Railway fought fiercely for five days and four nights without rest, and two examples of yellowed awards were in sight.
The bumps on the bus intermittently recall the scene of the old man's vivid appearance, teardrops swirling in the eyes, the wheels speeding on the slippery asphalt road, the centrifugal force falling out of the road water splashing around, the car is advancing, the trees outside the window fall backwards in a row, life may be like this, generation after generation, the most beautiful legacy left by the ancestors is to let the future generations have a thought.
Unconsciously, I arrived at the station, holding an umbrella against the wind, and the gift box I carried with me was also soaked by the rain and placed on the table in the living room of my brother-in-law.
It was freezing cold, and the two of them had just gotten up to wash up, and I said to go out and walk around first.
A man quietly went to the cemetery, paid homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, burned paper and sent silver, set up a banquet, lit a cigarette, and waited for them to enjoy, while telling him about his thoughts, while telling him the pain of the loss of his beloved wife.
The cigarette was hot, and it was only then that the smoke had not been extinguished. Maybe my actions touched the soul of God, and the rain stopped and the wind did not blow.
With my head bowed, there were countless words to say to him, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law listened silently, tasting without chewing, and shivering with coldness.
Kneeling to the second old man ready to open his body, I don't know why, it is impossible to get up, is his old man "staying"? The son-in-law was not filial, and Qingming and Chongyang came to visit again.
Struggling hard, exhausting all the strength of the tiger, just can't stand up. A pair of warm hands lifted me up, and my brother-in-law stood beside me with red eyes
Unaware of it, he went home with his brother-in-law for lunch.
After lunch to prepare to go home, the sister-in-law prepared some local souvenirs, the brother-in-law gave me 20,000 yuan, said: For more than 40 years, only my brother-in-law gave me money, I have never given my brother-in-law money, only when the younger brother gave you a New Year's greeting.
Little brother, I am disabled in a car accident, I have limited mobility but I have no worries about food and clothing, and your niece is out of work. This 20,000 yuan
Give it to your eldest brother-in-law, your father's medical expenses were paid by the eldest brother-in-law in advance, and the brothers settled the account.
The inner brother bowed his head and said ashamedly, I didn't understand things back then, and I was obsessed with ghosts, but I have woken up.
A few years ago, I went to Jiangsu, visited him in the hospital, paid him 50,000 yuan in medical expenses, and the doctor said that the liver cancer was advanced, and the time was short.
The body trembled slightly, God, the tiger poison does not eat children, so it is directed at the poor, what is delicious about the skin and bones?
The 80-year-old brother-in-law may have arranged for him to leave, so is it any wonder that he can't stand up when he kneels in front of his father-in-law's and mother-in-law's grave? Maybe the Schering omen.
When I went home to rest, my body was tired, my heart was tired, I should also go, it was time to be reunited with my wife and children.
Tomorrow I will go to Jiangsu to see my brother-in-law and give him and his family a New Year's greeting!
