Chapter 8: Conceal

"What do you mean I can't come back?" Ye Lan grabbed Ye Ning's hand, her dark yellow face was full of panic, "Sister, you can't talk nonsense."
"I also think it's fake." Ye Ning choked. "Dad didn't go with Uncle Youde in order to make more money. Instead, he went to a coal mine. After going to the mine... Zombie, I got the call and went to the place where Dad worked, only this bag of clothes."
Eucalyptus Ye is 8 years old. The child of the poor has been in charge early. Knowing what it means when his father is gone, he grasped Ye Ning's other hand and cried and screamed that the older sister was deceiving.
Ye Lan still didn't believe it. A few months ago, he smiled and said that his father who was going to make money was gone.
"Is there no money to spend? I have living expenses from my dad, and there are eight yuan, all for you, Ye Ning, there are some lies that can't be told." Ye Lan stopped calling her sister and called her by name.
When Li Fang gave birth to Yelan, she was difficult to give birth, and Yelan looked ordinary, so she didn’t like her second daughter very much. The most unwelcome child was the most sensible. Ye Lan was like that. She was a diligent director since she was a child and knew that it was not easy for her parents. The pocket money in hand will be saved, and the original body will spend the money as soon as it gets the money, and then will lie to get the money from Ye Lan, she hopes that this time it is only Ye Ning wanting the pocket money and deliberately lied.
Ye Ning looked at her younger brother and sister, her tears never stopped, she sniffed her nose, opened the luggage bag and took out the larger cloth bag. The clothes inside were all Ye Qingshan's clothes. When she went out during the Chinese New Year, Yelan packed everything. Yes, seeing these familiar clothes and objects, Ye Lan only felt black.
"..." Ye Lan opened her mouth, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.
Eucalyptus Ye is also stupid. There is no mother anymore, and now there is no father. They are really unwanted children.
"I don't need new clothes, and don't eat meat, eldest sister, please let Dad come back." Ye Yu cried and said.
"Then what about Dad? Why didn't you see the corpse? You didn't even find Dad's body, so you brought back such a bag?" Ye Lan grabbed Ye Ning and shook like crazy.
Ye Ning shook off her hand, picked up the bag that had fallen on the ground, and put it on the table carefully, "Dad was in a mine. The gas exploded below, and the entire mine collapsed. How to dig it? No, there are six people in total, none of them came up. We didn’t think about finding the remains, anyway... the fallen leaves returned to the roots, the mine owner looked for an expert and couldn’t dig."
Ye Lan and Ye Eucalyptus cried for a long time. Ye Lan’s eyes were swollen like steamed buns, and asked hoarsely: "Then you just lied to them that Dad will come back. Now Dad can’t come back, why? do?"
Ye Ning let out a long sigh. No matter how great Ye Lan was outside, she was still a country girl who hadn't walked out of society, not to mention Ye Ning, a little boy who didn't understand.
"I thought about this before. I originally planned to set up a burial mound for our dad. Now I'll wait and see. If we know that our dad is gone, not to mention the people in the village, our uncle and uncle will want to cramp us. Peel."
"Then let Dad be a lonely ghost? That won't work, besides, our family is separated from the old house, they can't control us at all." Ye Lan said angrily.
"No matter how the family is divided, they are all elders. They are naturally one level taller than us. In the village, you are them? Even the village chief's secretary will help them speak." Ye Ning pulled Ye Lan to let them sit down and looked at Ye Qingshan. The pile of clothes said: "You are about to take the high school entrance examination. When the high school entrance examination is over, Xiao An will also finish this semester. Let's go to the city together. When we are stable in the city, we will pick a day for Dad to set up the dress mound. Let’s find someone to make a memorial tablet for Dad, and worship at home. If Dad is alive in the sky, he will definitely not blame us and will protect us.

Hearing what her sister said, Ye Lan knew it was because of her and Xiao An, otherwise the eldest sister herself was a high school student and was also over 18 years old, so she didn't need to care about the relatives in her hometown.
Eucalyptus Ye is so young, although he was listening to him, he didn't even have to intervene, but he knew that the eldest sister was thinking about them.
"What about the family's fields?" They have no outsiders to support them. Now Ye Qingshan is gone, and Eucalyptus is still so small, the family's fields may not be kept.
"Sold it." Ye Ning said solemnly.
Sell ​​it? Ye Lan's red and swollen eyes looked particularly funny.
"It can't be sold, that's the lifeblood of the family, what do we eat after selling it?" Ye Lan looked at Ye Ning anxiously, and she believed that the older sister really had this idea.
What is the field? It is the life of the people. Without the field and land, what would they eat and drink?
Ye Ning glanced at her,
Don’t worry, I found a job in the county seat and can support you. Besides, if we don’t sell it, can we keep the field? It’s better to sell it if it’s taken away by the old woman’s family, or Are you willing to give it to them?"
"Sell, sell to Ermazi, he is rich, and his family is powerful, sell to their family, forgive Ye Fangming and Ye Qinghe not dare to fart out." Ye Lan heard the old woman's family, gritted her teeth and agreed to sell Drop, "Did you find a job? Not going to college?"
In the past, when Li Fang was still there, he always said that reading is a way out, so all three children in the family were sent to school, even if she didn’t like Ye Lan, they sent them all. Looking around the whole village, Ye Ning was the only one who went to school. Among them, she is the only girl who goes to high school like Ye Ning. When she was admitted to high school, Li Fang counted on her to go to university. He also said that she would also pay for her, and the original body has always regarded herself as a future university student. She often said at home where she would go to university in the future, which shows her expectations for university.
"Well, I have been in class for such a long time. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam. It's better to go to work early. Don't think about it, just eat something at noon. I'll go to Ermazi in the afternoon."
Ye Ning really thought about going to university for a long time. To be honest, she had gone to school in her last life enough, but it cannot be denied that the diploma is really useful, but she has been out of society for many years and the knowledge she has learned has long been returned to the teacher. In a few months, she will have to take the college entrance examination. With her current foundation, she can't pass the exam. Besides, the 80s were a golden age of money. She still wanted to wait for the policy to be relaxed and start her own business.
Ye Ning can cook, but he can't cook the stove. The lunch is made by Ye Lan. Just learned of the death of her father, no one was in the mood to eat, so she cooked noodles and took a few mouthfuls. Two sisters made Ye Qingshan's. After putting things in order, Ye Ning began to ask Ye Lan about the field at home.
Ye Qingshan has to be buried here. Every year Qingming has to come back to sweep the tomb, so the house cannot be sold. When he comes back with money in the future, he can build a two-story building. , Always keep it first.
The private land must be kept. This is close to my home. The main private land is not much and not worth a lot of money. The big fields and the land are good and bad. Ye Qingshan has good luck. The lottery is good, but the good ones are less bad. This is why the uncle and the uncle want their fields so much. The two paddy fields left home. Close to the creek, every day the millet is more than the other people's burden. Fortunately, it is the home that was divided before the field. If it is combined with the old house, and then the family is divided, it is a good field. It's their turn.
Ye Ning wrote all the fields and private plots on the notebook, marked both the distance and the size, and checked the private plot in the back mountain, "You still have to save a cemetery."
"Here, Dad told me that he will be buried here when he grows old." Ye Lan often followed Ye Qingshan uphill, knowing all the fields in the family and his division.
Ye Ning nodded, ticked that piece of land, and sold everything else.
"Why don't you leave a paddy field?" Ye Lan looked at the fields written in the notebook. These fields belonged to their family, and they would be gone after the sale.
People in Ye Ning’s time could no longer understand the peasants’ feelings towards the fields. At that time, young people in her hometown were all going out to work, and many places were deserted. Only some of the older people who were closer were still planting. She saw Ye Lan glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's also panic if you keep it. If you don't plant it to your grandfather, you will definitely be poked at your spine. It's better to sell it without worry."
Just saying that all three of them will go to school and will not be at home in the future, and they will be sold to pay the tuition.
In the end, Ye Ning left a piece of land by the roadside. Most of the rural homesteads are his own fields. In case Ye Ning wants to build a house for his children in the future, there is still land to get. Go to approve the homestead.
Counting the time, most people in this meeting have finished their lunch, Ye Ning took the notebook and the IOU, and took Ye Lan to Ermazi's house.
"Second aunt, are you at home?" Ye Lan shouted outside the courtyard.
"Yes, at home." The second aunt picked up her apron and wiped her hands, and opened the door. "It's Xiao Ning and Xiao Lan from Qingshan Brother's house. Come in, have you eaten?"
"After eating, my dad called me a few days ago and told me to come back and return the money to Uncle Youcai." Ye Ning came in and saw Er Mazi, that is, Ye Youcai was sitting at the dining table for dinner, embarrassed. Said: "It's not a coincidence that we are here. You have to eat first and come back later."
"No, your cultural person is different from us. There are so many people who are so particular. Mom, why are you standing? Go get the tableware." Ye Youcai waved his hand and signaled Ye Ning and Ye Lan to be polite and look for it yourself. Sit on a stool.
"No need, we really ate it." Ye Ning quickly refused, found a chair and sat down, and said, "My dad didn't ask you to borrow fifteen yuan when he went out. He sent me the money a few days ago and told me Back to you."
"Your dad is too polite. Use the money first. I know it's not easy for him."
Ye Ning smiled, but did not answer this. Seeing her second aunt had entered, she pursed her lower lip, and asked, "Uncle Cai, I heard people say you want to buy land?"
Apart from his wealth, the reason why he found Ermazi was that he had another reason to buy land first.
