Chapter 90 Die
back room.

"Sister Li, it's really not easy for Xiao Lin to wake up now."

"Yeah, Xiao Lin, you don't know. Since you fell asleep, your mother has been looking forward to you waking up all day long, and she cried all day long. Now it's all right, you can be regarded as awake."

"Oh, it's good to wake up now, why mention those things."

"From now on, you can't worry your mother anymore, you have to be filial to your mother."

The villagers talked non-stop when you said something, and I said something.

Aunt Li's smile never stopped, and her eyes were always squinted.

Gao Hai was so busy that he was sweating, but he also complained, and was even busy with joy.

This was especially true for Gao Lin who was sitting on the kang, his face was gone from the sickness that he had been lying on the bed for a long time, but his complexion was rosy, not like a vegetable at all, but like a normal person.

At this time, there was a smell of rotten clothes in the air, and everyone paused, looking at the smell, it was the old man who walked into the inner room.

"Master."

"The priest is here."

The villagers greeted each other warmly, and everyone was full of joy.

The old Taoist responded briefly, and turned his gaze to Gao Lin.

To be honest, he still couldn't believe that Gao Lin had miraculously woken up. After all, there was nothing anyone could do about it, so he asked the kid who was married to the ghost to use the small wooden hammer to knock the gong a few times. Woke up just knocked, really strange.

That boy is really a bit of a daoist.

To be honest, the old Taoist felt ashamed and couldn't understand the current situation at all.After all, he knew that he was not good at shit, and he learned everything from the book, purely by fooling around.

Looking at Gao Lin's appearance, he has a calm demeanor, a ruddy complexion, and a natural expression, just like a normal person.

The old Taoist twirled his beard with his hands, nodded incessantly, and murmured thoughtfully: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, this is really a miracle."

Aunt Li smiled even happier: "Of course, Daoist, it's a miracle that my son can wake up, and that kid Xiaohao has the ability."

The villagers echoed.

"Yes, yes, the Zhang family boy is really capable. This Linzi has been lying down for so many years, and he suddenly woke up. Tell me."

"I can't tell, that kid from the Zhang family was idle at first, but suddenly he looks like a different person. I didn't expect that even Lin Zi could wake him up."

The old Taoist stroked his beard, fiddled with the dust whisk, and called out "Infinite Heavenly Venerable", then he squeezed through the crowd and walked out of the house.

After leaving the gate, the muscles in the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Sure enough, there are really tall people in this world."

……

After Gao Lin came to his senses, he spread the news to ten and ten, and within a day, the villagers of Zhaojia Village got the news.

Within a day, the threshold of Aunt Li's house was almost broken.

Many villagers came to congratulate with gifts. After all, this is definitely a happy event.

Zhao Yuan, the butcher who runs a pork shop, was no exception. After finishing his busy work in the afternoon, he had a simple meal, and then walked into Aunt Li's door with two catties of meat and two catties of ribs.

"Aunt Li, Brother Hai!" Zhao Yuan yelled as soon as he stepped over the threshold.

As soon as he entered the yard, he was taken aback.

boom!
boom!
I saw a man who looked familiar, chopping firewood in the corner, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he didn't stop.

The man stopped when he heard the call, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Yuanzi, you come here as soon as you come, why do you still bring something?" At this time, Gao Hai hurried out from the house, with a smile still on his face.

Passing the things in his hand to Gao Hai, Zhao Yuan glanced at the man who was chopping firewood in the corner, and asked with a strange face: "Brother Hai, then, is that your brother?"

Gao Lin smiled: "Are you Brother Zhao Yuan? It's still the same as before, nothing changed. My brother always mentions you."

Zhao Yuan nodded in bewilderment: "Linzi, you are chopping firewood? Ha."

"En." Gao Lin put down his axe, stacked up the chopped firewood, and then went out the door with two buckets in hand.

Before leaving, he looked at Gao Hai and said, "Brother, I'll fetch water first, so hurry up and entertain Brother Yuan."

"Do you know where to fetch water? Just go? Put the bucket there!" Gao Hai yelled.

Gao Lingao raised the bucket, turned his back and said, "Don't worry, brother!"

"Ah!" Gao Hai had just yelled out when he heard his mother's voice behind him.

"Xiao Hai, let your brother go, let him do it."

"This...Mom. He just woke up, can his body hold it?"

The smile on Aunt Li's face was a little blunt, and she choked up and said, "Xiaohao was right, your brother is only a few days away, let him do it, fulfill these wishes, deal with the affairs behind him, and walk more steadily. "

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Gao Lin looked bewildered, but Aunt Li didn't say anything more, standing at the threshold of the back room, looking at the back of her youngest son, the smile on her face was a little more lonely.

Until this day, looking at her busy young son, she finally understood the meaning of what Zhang Hao said before leaving that day.

"He came to this world for a trip, and he has a lot of unfulfilled wishes. When his obsession disappears, he may be satisfied, so you should prepare in advance..."

……

not far away.

Zhao Yuan turned his head, looked at Gao Lin's leaving back, pointed to him, and asked, "Lin Zi, did you just wake up this morning?"

Gao Hai also looked at his younger brother's back, and replied with a strong nasal voice: "Yes."

"That, that, that..." Zhao Yuan was at a loss for words for a moment, and forgot how to say it when the words came to his lips.

Gao Hai looked at him and joked, "You want to ask what you're doing here just after waking up this morning?"

Zhao Yuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Gao Hai shook his head helplessly: "I wonder too. Logically speaking, after lying down for so many years, his body should be very weak, but my brother is different. He fell to the ground shortly after waking up, and then started working."

"It's like cleaning, chopping firewood, cleaning the stove, clearing the ashes from the stove, except for cooking, I can do whatever I see. I haven't been idle all day long."

"Then, why don't you and aunt watch him do it?" Zhao Yuan was even more surprised.

Gao Hai sighed silently: "How can I let him rest, but he won't, he insists on doing it, and if he doesn't let him do it, he will be impatient. According to his words, after lying down for so many years, he is tired of me. Mom is with me, now that he wakes up, let him take care of us."

"Anyway, it doesn't seem to be a problem now, he just doesn't know how tired he is." Gao Hai added, "And Xiaohao also said at the time, when my brother wakes up, let us all follow him. My mother didn't let me stop me just now, it's strange..."

Zhao Yuan looked at the well-built pile of firewood in the yard that could burn for half a year, the dilapidated but tidy courtyard, and the relatively clean chicken coop.

It looks like it has been carefully cleaned.

He scratched his head, puzzled as if he had seen a ghost.

As Gao Hai said, Gao Lin had been lying down for so many years, but after waking up, his body didn't collapse, and he didn't need to adapt. He just started chopping firewood and carrying water?

Even some people who have just recovered from a serious illness cannot do heavy work, because their bodies are still weak and they must not be able to do heavy work.

But Gao Lin...is completely different, he is just like a normal person.

……

the next day.

Li Siyu was wearing a royal blue embroidered Hanfu, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, covered with a piece of white cloth, with heat wafting out from the gap.

Walking through the dusty dirt road and turning the alley, she was taken aback when she saw some bricks, tiles, cement and other things piled up in front of Aunt Li's house, and many people were working.

After greeting the villagers one by one, she stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard. Looking at Aunt Li who was pouring water for the workers, she called softly, "Aunt Li."

Aunt Li immediately turned around and looked over. When she saw her, she ran over with small steps: "Siyu, why are you here?"

"Didn't I hear that your son woke up? I want to come over and have a look, and I'll make you some rice cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus." Li Siyu laughed.

It's just that for some reason, she felt that Aunt Li seemed to be happy but also a little sad. It seemed that her son's awakening did not make her too happy?

"Siyu, it's enough to have your heart, what is missing from you, auntie?"

Li Siyu smiled, turned to look at the workers on the roof who were removing tiles, and asked curiously: "Mother, is your house going to be refurbished? Are you planning to marry Lin Zi?"

"That's not true." Aunt Li raised her hand and pointed at a young man who was unraveling tiles on the roof: "That's Xiao Lin, didn't he wake up, and said that he wanted to renovate the house, and asked his brother to go there yesterday The bricks and tiles bought for him, today he went to the house by himself and insisted on helping with the work."

Li Siyu's vermilion lips parted slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise: "He, didn't he just wake up? Why, how can he do such a heavy job."

The smile on Aunt Li's face froze, and then became a little far-fetched, and she sighed with a complicated expression: "He said that he owed his family all these years, so he has to help the family with some work. Yesterday he chopped firewood all day, carried water, and It's cleaning the yard, so it's time to go to the house today. Maybe... I want to finish my work before I leave."

Li Siyu was stunned for a long time, feeling more and more strange, but he was too embarrassed to bring it up, pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile and said: "Well, that's pretty good, this house is indeed quite old, it's time to renovate it , so you can live comfortably, right?"

Aunt Li raised her head and looked at her youngest son who was working, her eyes yearning: "Yes, this house is quite big, and it needs to be refurbished, but it's a pity that there is no chance to build a new house for marriage."

"Siyu." Aunt Li called softly.

Li Siyu was stunned: "What's the matter, ma'am."

She raised her head, looked at her son silently, and said peacefully, "You said, is it a good thing that Gao Lin wakes up?"

Li Siyu was taken aback again: "Yes, it's a good thing, ma'am."

She nodded, and there was a bit of bitterness in that smile: "You are right, it is a good thing...it is a good thing."

Afterwards, Li Siyu chatted casually with Aunt Li and left.

……

Time came to the third day in a blink of an eye.

As the evening approached, Mrs. Li's house was almost completely refurbished. The dilapidated blue tiles were replaced with new red tiles, and the cracked walls were patched with putty and repainted with latex paint. The small courtyards are also paved, waiting to be paved with cement.

Things like doors and windows have not been finished yet, just wait until they are finished and install them.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner as expected.

Gao Lin sat on the roof with his hands on his knees, quietly watching the sunset in the western sky, his bright eyes became brighter, but seemed to be fading gradually.

He just watched, quietly watching, without saying a word.

"Linzi, don't sit on the roof, it's dangerous, come down to eat!"

At this time, the mother's urging voice came from the small courtyard.

"Ah!" Gao Lin replied, carefully stepped on the brand-new red tiles to the ladder, followed the ladder to the courtyard, and walked into the house with a smile on his lips.

In front of the dining table, Aunt Li cooked a table full of dishes today. The mother and son, three of them, and the elder sister-in-law sat together.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

At this time, Gao Lin stood up suddenly, with an extra red envelope in his hand, and handed it to his eldest brother: "You guys are married, and I, the younger brother, should also give a red envelope. I didn't give it back then, so I will make it up now."

Gao Hai quickly pushed back: "Linzi, quickly take back the red envelope, your sister-in-law and I don't lack your red envelope."

Aunt Li raised her hand and hit the eldest son, took the red envelope, and stuffed it directly into his hand: "You can take it if Xiao Lin says it to you, why are you so talkative."

Gao Lin chuckled, then took out another red envelope, turned around and handed it to his unmarried little sister.

"Sister, this is yours. Although you are not married yet, I will give it to you in advance, otherwise I will have no chance to give it to you later."

"Thank you brother, but I don't have a date..." The little girl was still young, her face flushed with shame, but she still accepted the red envelope, but she felt that the second brother was a little weird.

Seeing this, Aunt Li urged: "Okay? Come, come, eat, eat..."

But before she finished speaking, the tears were rolling in her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any moment.

Gao Hai quickly put his arms around his mother's shoulders, and comforted him in a low voice: "Mom, I have taken all the red envelopes, don't cry, besides, Xiao Lin woke up too, don't cry..."

Aunt Li smiled with some sobs: "It's okay, it's okay, my old lady is too excited, come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

"Mom, brother, I'm not polite." Gao Lin said with a smile, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing Gao Lin pick up the food and put it into his mouth without any scruples, the family didn't mean to blame at all, but felt very happy, and then they started to eat.

After eating, Gao Lin thoughtfully filled up the footwashing water, and washed his mother's feet carefully.

Seeing the busy figure of her youngest son, Aunt Li called softly, "Xiao Lin."

"What's wrong? Mom." Gao Lin paused and asked with a smile.

Aunt Li shook her head: "Come on, stop busy, take a rest, these two days...you have done enough."

"It's okay, I'm not tired, Mom, I've finished all my work, and I'll take a rest when I'm not in the mood." Gao Lin smiled, and then seemed to think of something again: "By the way, Mom, thank you for calling me The person who wakes up is called... called..."

"Zhang Hao?" Aunt Li asked.

With a smile on Gao Lin's face, he nodded heavily: "Yes, Zhang Hao."

"Okay, Mom knows."

After washing his mother's feet, Gao Lin tidied up and went to bed quickly, but seeing his mother was still guarding the room, he urged, "Mom, go to bed quickly, it's getting late."

"Mom wants to watch over you tonight."

Aunt Li replied that she had moved a bench and put it under the bed, and then sat on it, guarding the head of her son's bed, looking at Gao Lin tenderly, and coaxing him to sleep as she did when she was a child: "Sleep, son, mother Watching you."

"Then I'm going to sleep, Mom."

Seeming to have a premonition of something, Gao Lin didn't dissuade him. Looking at his old and gray-haired mother who was close at hand, Gao Lin, who had been busy all day, had a smile on his mouth, and fell asleep contentedly.

There was a gentle night breeze outside the house, and there was a slight snoring inside the house. There were occasional dogs barking twice in the middle of the night, but the night had already soaked the village.

"Giggle-"

The moonlit night was like water, until the next day when the cock crowed and the sun rose, Aunt Li, who had been sitting and sleeping all night, woke up leisurely. Hearing the sound of her son's snoring, she felt a little dazed, so she got up and moved her body.

"Its daybreak……"

She went to the door and opened the door.

"Squeak..."

"mom."

With a soft creaking sound, the first ray of sunlight came in through the crack of the door and filled the room.

There seemed to be a sleepy sound coming from her ear, Aunt Li suddenly paused, stood at the door and looked back, only to see her son sleeping peacefully, but the snoring sound disappeared at some point.

"Son?"

Aunt Li called out in a trembling voice, but without a response, she quickly walked two steps to the bed, stretched out her arm trembling and touched it lightly, her son's heart had stopped beating...

……

On the morning of April 4, Zhaojia Village suddenly heard crying, and soon the obituary came out, and each family rushed to tell each other and went to the funeral with gifts.

The second son of the Gao family passed away.
