After not showering for two days, Chen Weizheng's whole body was rancid!
After the burial ceremony, Chen Weizheng ran home to take a shower, followed by a small tail that he couldn't shake off.
That was Liu Yi's younger brother, the thin little boy.
Rural families were particular about not visiting other people's houses for 49 days. This little boy went to other people's houses on the day of his grandfather's burial, which was an anomaly. Chen Weizheng didn't refuse a person who was in mourning for him to visit, which was even more of an anomaly.
Unusual people do unusual things.
First of all, he cleaned up the dirty little boy. It was the little boy's first time using the shower gel and cleaning ball, and it was also his first time taking a shower. The little boy was stupefied, he didn't feel surprised or happy, he just let Chen Weizheng do whatever he wanted.
After changing into a brand new cartoon T-shirt and putting on cotton underwear, Chen Weizheng carried the little boy to his Simmons bed to sleep. A pair of plain beach pants was put aside and he turned on the air conditioner. In less than three minutes, the little boy was breathing evenly. These two days, the child was exhausted and frightened.
Chen Weizheng remembered the scene of the burial, his heart was still burning. After digging a hole and putting the coffin in, the host appeared and asked the filial son to go into the hole and lie on top of the coffin. The other relatives used their mouths to pick up small pieces of soil and throw them into the hole. The staff picked up the shovel and shoveled the soil into the hole.
The soil fell on the coffin and the little boy lying on top of the coffin. The ten year old boy was completely scared, he was so scared that he didn't even know how to cry. He thought he was going to be buried alive this time, his face was full of despair. Looking up, he looked at the people around him. Finally, he saw Chen Weizheng, and there was a glimmer of hope in his hopeless eyes. These two days, he followed Chen Weizheng closely, he knew that only Chen Weizheng could save him.
Chen Weizheng knew about this custom. The custom was that when the coffin was filled with soil and covered with a thin layer of soil, someone would help the filial son out. He also knew that a filial son should do this to show that a filial son could not bear to part with the departure of his ancestor. It was a simple act of respect. But when he saw the desperate and sorrowful eyes of this ten-year-old child, he knew that this game of Chengren was not something a child this young could afford to play. Perhaps it was a custom for Chengren, but for the child, it was a terrifying and life-threatening experience. He recklessly rushed forward, pushed away the shoveler, and grabbed the child's right arm. He lifted the child into the air and held him tightly in his arms. Only then did the child let out a suffocating cry. It was the cry of someone who had just escaped death. The cry made Chen Weizheng's heart ache. Someone wanted to come up and reason with Chen Weizheng, but he was stopped by his uncle. That was because his uncle knew that this person was the sponsor of this game. The one who paid was the boss!
From that moment on, the boy never left Chen Weizheng's side.
Then Chen Weizheng cleaned himself up and wrapped the clothes that he and the little boy changed into in a plastic bag, preparing to dispose of them as garbage.
After washing his hair and taking a shower, he immediately felt refreshed. He did not dare to be too far away from the little boy, afraid that he would be scared if he could not find him when he woke up. He opened the Korean door between the bedroom and the study and went to the arhat bed in the study to sleep. He was really tired, so he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
Chen Weizheng's phone rang and woke him up. When he looked at the number, it was an unknown local number. After he picked it up, he knew that it was Liu Yi.
"Brother Weizheng, thank you." This was Liu Yi's first sentence.
"How's my brother? I want to see him, I want to say sorry to him. "As he spoke, he began to cry.
"He's still sleeping, sleeping very peacefully. Let him wake up first, okay? "Chen Weizheng said.
"Brother Weizheng, thank you." This was Liu Yi's second "thank you". Chen Weizheng smiled. This girl doesn't know how to say anything other than "thank you". He knew that Liu Yi's two "thank you" s were, if the first was to thank him for paying for the funeral, then the second was to thank him for saving her brother.
"It's done. You should have a good rest, don't collapse your body. In the future, your family will rely on you. "Chen Weizheng said.
"I'm fine. The relatives at home have all left, and grandma is asleep. Ruan Lei is with me. "Liu Yi reported the situation.
"Chen Weizheng, thank you so much this time. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." Ruan Lei took the phone.
"You're treating me like an outsider!" Ruan Lei's hard work was obvious to all.
Ruan Lei was the executive director of this event. She was in charge of the distribution of money and food.
In the second half of the night, Bai Sizhang returned to the county after arranging the process. Chen Weigang also returned. After all, he had to go to work the next day, and the county committee's secretary couldn't leave for no reason. The on-site work fell on Ruan Lei's head.
Fortunately, Liu Yi's grandma immediately showed her strong side after she came back to her senses. She asked the three elders in the village to come forward, asked her nephew to help, and even transferred the younger generation of her family to help. Ruan Lei was finally considered a hero with three helpers.
Once again, Chen Weizheng found that the most suitable and favorite position for him was to sit in the hidden backstage, where he could completely control the situation. He parked the Passat in a place where no one would notice, but carried out his will on the scene through Ruan Lei and uncle Liu Yi.
His Passat could be taken out endlessly. Although it didn't attract people's attention, this Passat was a strong backing. No one dared to deny it. Hundreds of catties of noodles, hundreds of catties of rice, pieces of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, and boxes of bowls, plates, and chopsticks. Except for the meat and vegetables that were bought from the market, everything else was taken out from the Passat.
"Liu Yi said that you should bring her brother back later. Everyone will have dinner together, just a few people in our family." Ruan Lei was still continuing her work.
"Okay." Chen Weizheng said, "But we have to go there later. Her brother should be able to sleep for another two hours."
"Okay, it's 4: 30 now. We'll prepare here. We'll tentatively have dinner at 7: 00." Ruan Lei did things methodically and with a plan. She could arrange things at will but it was reasonable. She was indeed a talent. It was a pity that such an excellent girl was not suitable for him.
Chen Weizheng took out a backpack for primary school students from the space. It was a sky blue backpack with a sponge baby pattern. He picked out several sets of boys' clothes for this season and put them in. He also picked a Watermelon Taro stationery box and put a full set of stationery in it. He went to the bedside and measured the boy's feet. He took a pair of big toe beach shoes and a pair of imitation hook sneakers. After thinking for a while, he put in two bags of three pairs of sports socks.
Chen Weizheng didn't dare to enter the space. He was afraid that the boy would be scared if he didn't see him when he woke up. He had to sit on the bedside and turn on the laptop to read. There was a novel called "The Farmer's Ring". It was very creative. He read half of it and then continued reading.
The boy woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around. When he saw Chen Weizheng sitting next to him and reading, he calmed down. He slowly crawled to Chen Weizheng's side.
"You woke up?" Chen Weizheng put down the laptop and asked.
"Yes." The boy was much more energetic.
"Are you hungry?" He looked at the corner of the laptop. It was already 18 o 'clock sharp.
"I'm not hungry." The boy must be hungry. He was too frightened in the morning and basically didn't eat at noon. It was impossible for him not to be hungry now. This was a child with a lot of self-control. Chen Weizheng liked this kind of child. He didn't like the kind of half-baked child who made trouble without reason.
"Go rinse your mouth and wash your face first. Then get dressed. We'll go to Old Liu's house. Your sister is waiting for us for dinner." He handed the beach pants on the bedside table to the boy.
The boy put on the beach pants, which fit him very well. He went to the bathroom and took the toothpaste, toothbrush, and towel that Chen Weizheng brought. Soon, the boy cleaned himself up.
Chen Weizheng handed over a pair of sports socks. The boy took it with a little confusion. He put it on under Chen Weizheng's signal. Then he put on the imitation hook sneakers. He walked on the floor for a few steps and smiled at Chen Weizheng. He had never worn socks before winter. He was a little not used to it.
"Do you like it?" Chen Weizheng asked even though he knew the answer.
"I like it." The boy nodded.
Chen Weizheng took the backpack and put it on the boy. He adjusted the length of the straps and fastened the front straps. He looked up and down and felt that something was missing. He took out a baseball cap from the space and put it on the boy's head. "Not bad. You're a pretty boy. You're young and bright enough. Lead the way! "He reached out and put his hand over the boy's shoulder and walked down the small building.
The car drove out of Chen Village. Chen Weizheng magically took out a carton of milk and a small tube of Oreos and handed them to the boy. "Eat a little first. Don't eat too much. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat dinner later. "
The boy smiled and took the food. He was indeed hungry.
The car arrived at Old Liu's house and stopped in front of Liu Yi's house. Chen Weizheng helped the boy open the car door. He saw the empty milk carton and biscuit bag in the boy's hand and said embarrassedly, "I wanted to eat less, but I couldn't help it."
Chen Weizheng laughed and patted the boy's head. "You don't have to hold it in. These are for you."
Hearing Chen Weizheng's laughter, Ruan Lei and Liu Yi came out to greet him. They saw a bright boy get out of the back seat of the Passat. He was wearing a baseball cap, cartoon shirt, beach shorts, sports socks, Nike shoes, and a sponge baby backpack. They were curious about whose family this child was.
When he saw that it was his younger brother, Liu Yi's tears fell to the ground like a broken string of beads. When the grandmother came out and saw her grandson in front of her, she thought that she was seeing things. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Brother, you're quite talented!" Ruan Lei was the first to react.
Chen Weizheng ignored her and went straight to Liu Yi. He said to her in a very strict tone, "Don't let him remember what happened this morning! Otherwise, I'll take him away immediately. "
Liu Yi was a smart person. He immediately understood Chen Weizheng's meaning. He wiped his tears and said in an exaggerated tone, "Oh, who is this?" He laughed. He pulled his grandmother and gave her a look.
There was a table full of dishes in the living room. There were three people sitting there. They were his uncle, his wife, and Liu Yi's grandmother's nephew. Just as they were about to make a fuss about the boy, Ruan Lei pulled the boy into the side room. "Go, take Sister Lei to see what's in your little backpack."
Chen Weizheng sighed in admiration of Ruan Lei's cleverness. He said to everyone, "Little brother was scared when he was lying in the coffin this morning. It wasn't easy for him to come back to his senses. Tonight, we're only allowed to talk about nice things. Don't talk about the funeral to agitate him."
Everyone was close relatives. They understood everything as soon as they heard it. They blamed themselves for carrying out that custom. They almost harmed the child.
When they started eating, the three men definitely drank a lot. Liu Yi's grandmother's surname was Wei. Her nephew was Liu Yi's uncle. After introducing himself, he asked Chen Weizheng, "Little brother, what's your surname?"
"I don't dare to call myself little brother. My surname is Chen. I hang a hoe in the east. Chen in the east." Chen Weizheng said.
"Is he Xiao Ruan's boyfriend?" Uncle Wei guessed.
"No." The one who answered was not Chen Weizheng. It was the little boy who came out of the side room. He took off his flashy baseball cap and changed his shoes into beach shoes. "He's not Sister Lei's boyfriend. He's my brother-in-law."
