It was my wishful thinking. Along the way, I was still thinking about whether my father would miss me after not seeing me for so many years. I even thought that my father would be very happy to see me because I am his only child.
But now it seems that I overestimated myself.
"Grandma?" I pursed my lips, wanting to tell him that Grandma asked me to come.
As a result, he impatiently said to Liu Langzhong: "You go back and tell her that I am living a good life now. If there is nothing wrong, don't bother me again."
"Excuse me?" I couldn't help frowning and staring at the man in front of me. Even if we were just fellow villagers, it was getting late and we should be allowed to spend the night, not to mention that I was his flesh and blood.
"Fusheng, this is the letter your mother gave you, take a look." Liu Langzhong originally had a happy face when he saw my father, but when he heard what my father said, his face instantly darkened, and he turned to grandma
The letter I gave him was handed to my father.
Dad took the letter expressionlessly, opened it and looked at it a few times, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Fusheng, it's already dark today. It's been a bumpy journey these past few days. Miao Yatou is not in good health and needs a good rest." When Liu Langzhong saw that his father was still silent, he could only take the initiative to speak and offered to stay.
Dad glanced at me with a serious look, seemingly out of complete helplessness, and finally reluctantly invited us into the coffin shop.
There are three coffins in this coffin shop, and the shelves on the side are filled with candles and ingots.
What is extremely inconsistent with these things is the red word "hi" on the counter of the shop, and the word "hi" is posted on the inside of the coffin shop, which looks weird.
"Let's live in the utility room on the side." Dad looked at us and said lightly, then pushed open the wooden door next to the shelf. There were piles of paper figures, shrouds, and ghost papers in a mess, even the tombstones.
There is no place.
Besides, does he plan to let me and Liu Langzhong live in this room together?
"Fusheng, what is this?" Liu Langzhong glanced at his father and said, "It has rained heavily these days and the weather has become cold. There is no mattress here. Besides, today, Miao Yatou hasn't eaten yet.
Pass something, this?"
"Wait!" Dad said, turned around and walked towards the back of the shop.
What is connected behind this should be the backyard of the coffin shop.
"Miao girl, your father hasn't seen you for a long time, and he doesn't know what to say to you, you?" Liu Langzhong saw me lowering my eyes and knew that I was feeling disappointed, so he opened his mouth to comfort me.
I nodded before he could finish his words: "I know, Uncle Six, thank you for your hard work in sending me here, but you still have to work hard to take me back tomorrow."
When Liu Langzhong heard what I said, his lips trembled.
"Eat." Before Liu Langzhong could speak again, his father had already come out with a plate of wedding cakes.
The reason why we know it is a wedding cake is because the cake has the word "happy" written on it.
"Fusheng, are you happy?" Liu Langzhong took the cake and bait with a smile and immediately handed a piece to me.
Dad didn't hide anything and said straight away: "Yes, I got married five days ago. It's inconvenient for you to live here."
After Dad finished speaking, his eyes fell on my face. Besides indifference, there was disgust in his eyes.
"Marry? You mean taking a concubine, right? But your mother said that you have no other marriage in this life. If you force a marriage, I'm afraid it will bring disaster." Liu Langzhong frowned, who didn't know that his father had already married him?
My mother, moreover, my mother died, and no one in the village knew about it. My father didn’t go back for many years, and he didn’t even know that my mother had died of illness. How could he get married again now?
