Chapter 20 nineteen

In our countryside, holding a funeral for an elderly person is considered a grand ceremony.Especially as the eldest son and grandson, he is an important role in this system. Of course, he cannot leave the mourning hall casually.But my mother saw that I was overworked, and the next day she still didn't ask me to kneel down in the filial piety, and asked my sister to accompany me for a walk in the garden in the backyard. The landscape of the garden has also changed, and many flower beds have been planted with vegetables.My study has been converted into my sister's bedroom.I walked under the grape arbor, and said to my sister in a daze: "Remember?"This is where we used to watch the stars with our grandmother when we were kids.

Yes, grandma loved you the most back then!My sister is also recalling the past. That's because I'm a little older than you and have been with her for a long time.Her words aroused my sadness again. After thinking for a while, I went on to say: But I am not as good as you, I didn't even see her for the last time! No one expected it to be so fast. The day before yesterday I wrote a letter to sister Qiuming, asking her to tell you.Although, grandma's illness was not too serious at that time, but we still hope that you can come back sooner!My sister narrated to me the situation when my grandmother was ill.She seemed to want to divert my emotions, and after thinking about it, she continued: To be honest, we also want to take this opportunity to reunite.Mother said that she hasn't seen you for several years, and she also misses you in her dreams.Even sister Alan next door has asked me several times!

Sister Alan!I looked at her in surprise: You mean the daughter of Uncle Zhu next door? That's her!The younger sister nodded and said: "Why did you forget, she is still your classmate in elementary school!" Well, let's find her!In an instant, I lost the power to control my emotions.The news was so abrupt to me that I got up and wanted to run out at once. no!My sister hurriedly stopped me: We are in mourning now, so we can't just go to see our friends.What are you busy with?I'll let her know when I get a chance. Sitting down forbearance, my heart became even more anxious.After a while, I said: When did she come back?

Also in the last few days. I heard that she was working as a female worker in Shanghai, so I pretended to be casual and said: Do you know why she came back? She didn't say anything herself, but I heard from others that it was probably because of the marriage! marriage?I said skeptically: Their old-style engagement was terminated a long time ago, does it still need her to go through the formalities seriously? No!is married.The younger sister said softly. marry!These two words sounded like thunder in my ears.I couldn't help panicking, and then I continued to ask: who will I marry?

Her former fiancé was Li Zhizhong from Houzhuang. The one who broke off the engagement? Yes! Why?I couldn't help feeling angry: Did the feudal forces force them to live together again! No!Very strange!Sister Alan did not object.My sister smiled innocently at me. Did she tell you personally? I see it in her eyes.The younger sister said indifferently: Although she also felt a lot of depression, it might be because of her nostalgia for urban life.But on the issue of marriage, she seemed to have the courage to decide. After being silent for a while, I couldn't figure out how Miss Alan handled herself.Judging from her letter to me, she has been trained to be a woman with insight and achievements.I will never blindly throw my happiness into the clutches of the old ethics.What's more, their marriage contract has no legal responsibility.But she came back, unexpectedly accepting this unreasonable marriage again, isn't this a strange thing that is puzzling?

Don't think that Sister Alan is still the same as before.The younger sister said in a fluttering voice: Everything has progressed unimaginably. If she has a diploma, I think she is much smarter than the teachers in our school! You mean she's grown up more than before, coming back in the big city, she can dress up and talk again! Not only that, but she is more thoughtful and knowledgeable. However, I hesitated and said: From the perspective of her marriage, I don't think she is very smart. Why?My sister looked at me strangely: you mean she should marry a man from the city? No!I calmly said: It is undeniable that there is a great distance between our hometown and life in the city. An uneducated farmer combines with a woman who has seen the world, and there is also a distance in thought.

This is because we don't know enough about Sister Alan's fiancé. Similarly, Sister Alan might not understand him!I suddenly said indignantly: This may be because of the physical relationship. When a girl gets older, she often blindly seeks her destination. Don't guess, this is our girls' business, you can't control it!After finishing speaking, my sister blushed and hurried away.
