    ?

    On September 16th, two things happened.

    The first thing is that Lu Meishi of the educated youth spot received a letter from the province of households. The letter told her clearly that the college entrance examination will resume soon, and a set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" was sent along with the letter.

    The second thing, Lu Meishi died, three hours after receiving that letter.  She just lay crookedly on the bed, covered with a torn quilt, her eyes were dilated, her pupils narrowed into a straight line, and there was lingering excitement on her face.

    When the female educated youth who lived with her discovered these things, her body was completely cold.

    Later, Dr. Wang from the clinic rushed over and diagnosed that Lu Meishi's sudden death was due to high blood pressure caused by excessive excitement.

    "This educated youth Lu is really pitiful." The boss of the Chen family wiped the hot sweat from his forehead while sharing the news he had just received with Song Fengchen.

    After Lu Meishi's death, Captain Hu of the production brigade went to the post office in the county, called her family, and told them about Lu Meishi's death.

    "In the end, third uncle, guess what happened? Before Lao Hu could say his consolation, a sentence came directly from the other end of the phone: If you die, you will die, and you will be exempted from collecting the corpse.  It's fifty or sixty yuan, our family doesn't have this spare money, you can figure it out!" The boss of the Chen family sneered: "I hung up the phone after I finished speaking."

    "Are you sure you made the right call?" Song Fengchen frowned slightly.

    Are there any such parents?

    "I do know a little about her family's situation." The boss of the Chen family took the cool white tea from Song Fengchen, drank it, then wiped the corners of his mouth, and continued: "Speaking of Lu Zhiqing, I was the one who came from the county  She was picked up back then. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. She was thin and small, and she was poorly dressed. Compared with the educated youths in the same class, she was not a star and a half, and she didn't look like she came out of the city.  I still remember the way she cried while gnawing dry food."

    "Later I found out that this girl is a poor person. There are five children in her family, and the first three are girls. After giving birth to her third sister, it took seven or eight years before her mother became pregnant again.  twins, that is, her and his brother."

    "When she and her brother grew up, her first three older sisters were all married, and all the housework fell on her head. She stopped studying after graduating from elementary school. I heard that she didn't come to our Yuexi Village.  Before coming here, she had already met her, and even accepted the bride price, and the man is her neighbor's child"

    "the one who sent her the college entrance examination review materials. For so many years, the two of them have never lost contact. I heard that the man has been waiting for her." The boss of the Chen family couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

    After regaining his senses, he continued: "At this time, her brother graduated from high school and was encouraged to sign up to go to the mountains and the countryside. After her parents found out, they locked her brother up immediately, just because they didn't want the only child at home to come  the countryside to suffer.¡±

    "However, the registration form has been handed in. It is absolutely impossible to go back on it. It is a serious crime against the revolution. Her parents were red-eyed, and for some reason they hit her with the idea, and then begged grandpa to sue grandma.  Someone helped to replace her brother's name on the registration form with hers"

    "Educated Lu probably couldn't swallow this breath. When she first arrived in our village, according to the national policy, wasn't there a subsidy of 150 yuan, and five or six letters came from her family to urge her.  Sending back the subsidy, all kinds of good words, Lu Zhiqing didn't give a penny. In this way, her parents were stubborn and severed relations with her."

    "You even know this?" Song Fengchen handed him the camera.

    "Xu Zhiqing, who lives with her, has a big mouth. This has already spread to most of the production team, that is, third uncle, you don't like to deal with people in the village, so you don't know about it."  He took it and talked so excitedly that he almost forgot the purpose of coming to find Song Fengchen.

    "How does the village plan to deal with Lu Meishi now?" Hearing so much from the boss of the Chen family, Song Fengchen didn't mind asking one more question.

    "The funeral must be done. The educated youth spot collected more than 20 yuan from Lu Meishi's wardrobe. It should be her inheritance." The boss of the Chen family put the camera in his back basket: "This is the production team.  I plan to gather some more people, invite a mourning band to play, and put on a lively movie at night, and the funeral is scheduled at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

    Song Fengchen nodded.

    "Okay, Uncle Third, I'll go back first, and the camera will be brought back to you tomorrow." One leg stepped out of the threshold, as if remembering something, the boss of the Chen family turned around: "I almost forgot, the movie is at He Laosan's house  Put it on the open space in front of the door, what exactly?bsp; No matter how lively it is outside, it can't cover up the desertedness of the mourning hall.

    The coffin, posthumous photos, and two white candles cannot be arranged simply.

    Until a sound of messy footsteps broke the dead silence.

    While the candlelight was flickering, a figure appeared outside the door.

    The man walked to the coffin, put down the basket in his hand, and took out the copper basin and paper money inside.

    Kneeling on the meadow, he burned paper money and said, "Mei Shi, I'm here to see you."

    "In the morning, Dr. Wang told me that you died from eating hemp/flavin"

    His eyes were staggered from the posthumous photo, "Don't blame me, I just gave you such an idea, how could such a mistake happen."

    At this moment, a cool wind suddenly blew through the room.

    He subconsciously shrunk his neck, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and carefully looked around. The mourning hall was still as deserted as ever, and cheers could be vaguely heard not far away.

    He relaxed in his heart, and then continued: "You also said, one day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, although you died just like this, but don't worry, I will remember you for the rest of my life, and I will give you money every year and holiday.  Burning some paper money will never shorten your food and clothing down here"

    Staring at the dancing flames in the copper basin for a long time, he finally said: "I am the one who is sorry for you."

    Speaking of this, he was full of melancholy and said with a sigh: "You can go in peace!"

    As he spoke, he threw the last few pieces of paper money into the brazier.

    "But I can't feel at ease, what should I do?"

    At this moment, a voice of resentment suddenly came from the air.

    "who?"

    His heartbeat stagnated, and his body tensed instantly.

    "So, can you help me?" The voice got closer and closer.

    His eyes were dazed, and he turned his head tremblingly, facing a pair of feet hanging in mid-air.
