Chapter 5018 Poor
Changping Village.
The rain has been falling intermittently.
It was completely dark, but Yang Huazhong hadn't come back yet.
Sun made dinner and brought it to the table. Xiaohua tied a bib on Feng'er. Feng'er saw the sumptuous dishes on the table and glanced at Xiaoduo who was beside him absent-mindedly. The little guy opened his eyes A pair of big confused eyes asked curiously: "Why doesn't Aunt Duoer eat?"
Xiaoduo came back to her senses and gave Feng'er a friendly smile: "Auntie has no appetite, Feng'er eats."
Feng'er looked at Xiaohua again and saw his mother winking at him. Feng'er remembered what his mother had taught him in the backyard kitchen.
What do you mean?
The little guy opened his mouth, but suddenly he couldn't remember all the words.
Seeing the chicken drumsticks on the plate in front of him, Feng'er had an idea, took one and put it into the bowl in front of Xiaoduo.
"This is for little sister. Little sister is hungry."
Xiaoduo raised her eyes in shock, watching Feng'er licking her little hand that had grabbed the chicken leg, and subconsciously raised her hand to stroke her flat lower abdomen.
"Okay, Auntie, eat."
Seeing Xiaoduo finally lift the chopsticks, Sun and Xiaohua looked at each other, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaohua touched Feng'er's head happily, thanks to this little guy.
"Mom, please sit down and eat too." Xiaohua greeted Mrs. Sun again.
Ms. Sun nodded and sat down. The two ladies ate their supper while pricking up their ears to listen to what was going on outside.
In such a large hall, usually an oil lamp is lit on the dining table at night, and then another oil lamp is hung in the corridor leading to the backyard to light the way.
But tonight, Mrs. Sun calmly lit a few more candles in the main room, trying to make the main room as bright as possible. After all, someone in the Xiang family passed away, and her two daughters were both twins. If you have low arrogance, you will be bolder if you are brighter.
But even so, Mrs. Sun was still a little scared. This kind of fear could not be explained, but she just felt uncomfortable.
But I didn’t dare to say it out loud, lest the children panic.
When the dinner was almost finished, Yang Huazhong finally came back.
“Have you eaten yet?” Mrs. Sun hurriedly came over and helped take the raincoat and bamboo hat that Yang Huazhong took off and put them to dry under the eaves outside the main room.
Yang Huazhong looked at his wife and daughters in front of him, and raised his hand to wipe the rain and sweat from his face, "The Xiang family is in such chaos now, how can we still care about eating?"
"Doesn't that mean you haven't eaten two meals? I'll get you some food!"
Mrs. Sun turned around and quickly went to the backyard kitchen.
Yang Huazhong came back, and her confidence suddenly became stronger.
In the main room, Xiaohua made Yang Huazhong a bowl of hot tea to warm his hands, while Xiaoduo couldn't wait to ask Yang Huazhong about the situation of the Xiang family at this time.
Yang Huazhong took a sip of hot tea and knew that his little girl's thoughts were there, so he quickly told Xiaoduo about the current situation of the Xiang family.
“Your uncle has rushed back from the other side of the mountain, and Sheng Nan’s uncle’s family has also come over. Now your uncle and your uncle are staying there to help your father-in-law cook Jinnan’s food. After the funeral, the two aunts will stay with your mother-in-law.”
"It was your uncle who asked me to come back. He said there were enough manpower there to let me come back." "I will have a funeral at home today and tomorrow. I will go to the Taoist temple to invite Taoist priest Yuan. Taoist priest Yuan's apprentice Xiao Mo will be there early the next morning. The Xiang family performed a small ritual for Jin Nan and then sent him up the mountain. "
"I heard them say that Jin Nan's cemetery should be in the ancestral grave of Lao Xiang's family, next to his grandmother's grave..."
< br>Yang Huazhong told Xiaoduo everything he knew.
"Dad, when will I go back? No matter how you say it, he is also my eldest brother. If I don't go, it won't be justified. Besides, eldest brother Jin Nan is actually not a bad person. He has no idea. It's all mine. The parents-in-law make the decision for him, he is actually very pitiful..."
Xiaohua said with red eyes.
When she first proposed kissing Xiang Shengnan, her father-in-law gave her the feeling that he was not majestic at all, but very careful and kind.
My mother-in-law is warm, polite, and attentive.
Only after more contact did I realize that my father-in-law is not manly, like women, he likes to care about everything, is short-sighted and has no independent opinion.
My mother-in-law, on the other hand, likes to take care of everything, from dealing with favors and moving among relatives to as small as what to eat for this meal and how much salt to put in this bowl of food. She has to take care of it!
Seungnam is lucky to have established a separate family with his uncle, but brother Jinnan is not so lucky. Everything is arranged by his parents.
The only time he made the decision on his own was when he was seduced by the troublemaker Cui'er...
So in Xiaoduo's heart, Jin Nan is actually a miserable person, and he will die in a cold weather. If you delay, you will lose your life, and you will die more cowardly than others!
On Brother Jinnan’s last journey, she, a younger sibling, had to go and see him off.
"Dad, is it possible if I go back tomorrow?" Xiaoduo asked again.
Yang Huazhong thought for a while and nodded: "I know you must be in a hurry to go back. I have discussed it with your uncle and Shengnan, and I will send you back after breakfast tomorrow!"
Xiao Duo nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Hua said with some worry: "Duo'er is pregnant now, not as good as before, and the Xiang family must be noisy and messy, so we have to go here to keep Duo'er company. , I don’t trust the female relatives of uncle Shengnan’s family.”
Xiao Duo said: “You are so big. You definitely can’t go there because my mother has to take care of grandma and Feng’er, so she can’t go.”
“Dad is a man, so it’s not convenient. It’s not possible for Xiaojie to take her daughter with her. There’s no suitable one. I don’t need anyone to accompany me. I can do it on my own. I’m not a child.”
Xiaohua glanced at Xiaoduo, "You are still young and don't understand. You are the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family. Do you think it is so simple to handle funerals?"
"To put it bluntly, Jin Nan is not married. He has no one to kneel under, so the only person who can help him this time is his younger brother Shengnan.”
“As Shengnan’s wife, you will definitely be affected as well. Ah! "
Mrs. Sun happened to bring the food over. When she heard this, she said, "I'll stay with Duo'er. I'll just say hello to your fifth aunt. , let her take my place for two days. "
"No matter what, our daughter is the most important at this time. Mom, I will accompany you back to Xiang's house, what do you think?" Sun asked again. Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean too. Put down the other work at hand and settle this matter with Duo'er first!" Get up and cook breakfast, After breakfast, Yang Huazhong drove a mule cart along the river at the foot of the mountain, passed a Taoist temple near a tree, and sent the couple to the entrance of Xiangjiazhuang. , the man just turned back.
At home, Xiaohua took Feng'er to temporarily live in the Sun's house opposite, and stayed with Xiaojie and the others.
Yang Huazhong was not idle when he returned home. He immediately changed his carriage and went to the nearby Qingshui Town. He found a coffin shop, cut two pieces of incense paper, bought a bundle of incense candles, and hung a firecracker.
I bought two more bunches of gold ingots folded in tinfoil, packed everything together, threw a big bundle roll on the carriage, and then went straight to Xiangjiazhuang.
