Driving at night is very dangerous, and now it is after the rain, the road is muddy and slippery.
The coachman is quite capable, but he can only keep the carriage from falling.
No one wants to rush to the night, but Mr. Lawrence has given too much.
Annuo was sitting in the carriage, anxious and irritable.
Not only because of Fedino's incident, but also because the mats he placed on his seat were all shaken off by the shaking carriage, and because it was too shaking, he couldn't put them on at all!
When driving after the rain, it was still dark, not only slow but also shaking.
Annuo could only endure the discomfort.
The carriage ran like this all night, and finally arrived at Falgou Town before dawn.
As the rain drifted, Annuo opened the carriage door and rushed out.
He slapped the door of the room, hurried and powerful.
The one who came to open the door was Aunt Anna who was crying.
"Aunt Anna, uncle..." Anno asked anxiously.
Anna opened her mouth and patted Annuo on the shoulder, unable to speak for a long time.
She became older and more haggard, and tears passed through her deep folds.
Annuo stood there as if he was struck by lightning.
His heart seemed to have stalled for a few seconds, and then went crazy, and bypassed Aunt Anna and rushed upstairs.
At the door of Fedino's room, he ran into a doctor head-on and almost knocked him down.
Anno grabbed the doctor's shoulder: "Doctor, my uncle..."
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a dim look.
Then walked out of the room.
Annuo walked to the bed in a daze.
The one who slept in the bed was Fedino, whose face was already gray.
He looked much thinner, closed his eyes, looked peaceful, and entered an endless sleep.
Aunt Anna stood behind Annuo at some point and choked and said, "Your uncle started to have a stomachache a week ago, but we all think he had eaten something bad."
"It wasn't until a day ago that he started vomiting, and he still had blood in his vomiting and couldn't eat anything. We didn't have to eat anything bad."
"He, he always wanted to see you again, but, but..." Anna wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, but she couldn't wipe her tears.
Anna grabbed Fedino's hand and pressed it on her forehead, her eyes wide open.
"He was feeling uncomfortable in his stomach for a long time, but he never told me. Until the doctor asked him, he told us that this situation had been going on for several years." Anna sat on the chair aside, her voice was a little broken.
Fedino is the only support of this family. Fedino fell down. Whether it is emotions or life, this old woman is the saddest.
"Uncle..." Anno kissed Fedino's rough back of his hands, and tears fell on the ground.
"We committed sins in our previous lives, and this is the Lord's punishment..."
............
Anno was wearing a pure black dress, and Aunt Anna stood next to her.
It was raining heavily, and the two of them stood in front of a deep pit. Behind them, there were many residents of Falgao Town.
Fedino was very popular during his lifetime. Although he looked fierce, he was a veritable old naughty boy.
The priest prayed aside, and several workers carried the coffin and slowly put it into the pit.
Aunt Anna leaned her forehead against Annuo's shoulder and choked.
Anno threw the umbrella aside, picked up the shovel, shoveled the soil, and filled Fedino's tomb.
He took out a dried flower from his pocket and placed it in front of the tombstone.
"Uncle..." Annuo bit his lip, and it was rain or tears falling from his cheek, or both.
"Rest in peace...I will pass on the sugar-making skills for you." He stood up, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and left Fedino's grave with Aunt Anna.
Fedino Jo Olicovic Falgo1403-1470.
......
The funeral has been around for a week.
"Aunt Anna, please go to Florence with me." Anno sat in the living room, thought for a while, and finally said this.
Although there is only one person missing in the house, both of them feel empty.
Anna had not recovered from Fedino's sudden departure: "But this is your uncle's home."
Fedino and Anna's life is actually very generous, and they don't have to live in such a small town at all. However, because Fedino is old and unwilling to give up sugar making, the couple stayed here.
But now, Uncle Fedino, the old man who loves life, has passed away.
Aunt Anna is in poor health, and Anno doesn't want the tragedy to happen again, so he decided to take Aunt Anna to Florence and take it to his side to take care of her.
But Aunt Anna is still a little reluctant to leave her here.
Annuo comforted: "Aunt Anna, I will ask workers to maintain this sugarcane garden and workshop. If you want to come back, you can come back and stay for a while at any time."
"So, please let me take care of you in Florence, aunt."
Aunt Anna cried again.
Her emotions have been unstable these days.
"Lawrence, my young man, my child, my aunt just can't bear to part with your uncle." Aunt Anna burst into tears.
"I know, I know, Aunt Anna." Annuo couldn't help but feel a little red when he heard the words of uncle. "We come back every month to see uncle."
Anna finally agreed to return to Florence with Anno.
For Anna, it’s better to leave here for a while. If she is in a state of sadness for a long time, I guess Aunt Anna is also...
Annot chose a relatively clear daytime departure.
After a long bumpy day, the carriage finally returned to Florence.
Aunt Anna walked out of the carriage and looked at the mansion with a yard that was much bigger than her house, and was a little surprised: "Lawrence, is this your home?"
Anno nodded: "Yes Aunt Anna, I always wanted you and Uncle Fedino to live here."
Anna was a little sad again: "I have stayed my old life, why didn't Fedino have such a blessing..."
He was about to cry while talking.
Annuo quickly comforted Aunt Anna: "Auntie, go in first, I will ask the servant to help you organize the room." Annuo waved to Luslan who was standing at the door: "Call a few people to come and put my aunt's salute in my room."
"Okay master." Lu Silan bowed slightly.
Annuo decided to let Aunt Anna live in her room, and she tidied up the office and put a bed in her own office. Anyway, her office was still very spacious, so there was no problem with having three beds.
Manrio came out of the house.
He walked to Annuo and bowed to Annuo: "Teacher, you are back."
Aunt Anna, who was standing beside her, looked at Annuo and waited for the introduction.
