Chapter 2311 (1 update
The little brothers of the Chen family look alike. Even if Chen Fengnian and Chen Zhaonian are not traveling together, Brother Zhou and others will know that they are Chen Kang's grandsons when they see Chen Ruinian and Chen Xuenian.
The four brothers each carried a backpack and were led to the Le family by Chen Fengnian. Chen Ruinian and Chen Xuenian did not see the cousins of the Le family, so they dropped their backpacks with their brothers and went to the mourning hall to offer incense to their cousin.
The four brothers burned incense and paper money for their cousin, helped their cousin and younger cousin up at the ceremony banquet, and then put on mourning clothes.
After putting on their mourning clothes, they went to see their cousins and aunts. The four little brothers of the Chen family recognized their relatives, then took out a cigarette from their backpacks and followed their father and uncle to greet the elders who were helping at their cousin's house.
After greeting the guests, Chen Ruinian and Chen Xuenian had time to formally talk to their little cousin. Both brothers were over 1.79 meters tall. They were quite tall and had to look down on their little cousin.
Looking at their delicate little cousin, whose eyes were slightly swollen from crying, the two brothers stretched out their hands to rub her head.
"Sister!" She shouted kindly and sincerely.
"First cousin, second cousin." The cousins from my uncle's and grandfather's family were willing to pay homage to their aunt, and Le Yun also sincerely agreed with the two cousins.
"Yeah." Chen Ruinian and Chen Xuenian nodded enthusiastically, then rubbed his little cousin's dark head a few times before picking up his little cousin Leshan.
Leshan followed around the dojo for a day and felt a little dizzy. He called out to his cousin obediently and had no strength, so he let his cousin hold him.
The little cousin is so well-behaved and cute. Chen Ruinian, Chen Xuenian and Chen Xuenian are vying to hold her, but Chen Zhaonian and Chen Fengnian can't even touch his sides.
Because there are no outsiders, dinner at Lejia is relatively early. Dinner is served at six o'clock. Those who help with the work have dinner, tidy up their belongings, and then go home to sleep at nine o'clock.
The masters also stayed at Lejia, arranged in two guest rooms on the first floor of the south building. Chen Xin and Chen Jie lived in the other guest room, Chen Kang still lived in the previous room, and Zhou Wei lived in Xiao Lele's bedroom on the first floor.
The four little brothers of the Chen family live on the second floor of the south building, two to a room. The handsome guy Lan San still lives in the east-facing guest room on the north side of the second floor of the north building. The other two rooms are filled with furniture, making it inconvenient to get in and out.
Leyun clicked on her brother's sleeping hole and sent him to the study on the second floor to sleep. She also asked her father and Aunt Feng to go to rest early, and she stayed alone in the main room to keep vigil.
To do mundane things, someone must keep vigil in the mourning hall every night. Even if the aunt's soul is still in the jade talisman, since the mourning hall is set up, there must be descendants to keep vigil.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, listened to the little cotton jacket and kept vigil until eleven o'clock in the evening, and then went to bed.
When an elderly person in rural areas dies, the host's family usually holds a formal banquet the night before the funeral. Villagers or friends do not need to be invited by the host, but go and give gifts and sit at the table themselves.
After dinner that night, a gong and drum team or performance team sang funeral songs, which is also called "mourning".
The reason why funerals are held is to protect the deceased from being harassed. There are many people and strong yang energy. The lonely ghosts who come to eat and drink during their free time do not dare to approach, so they will not disturb the peace of the deceased and let the deceased Spend your last night in the earth peacefully.
The funeral usually lasts until about twelve o'clock in the evening. There is also a meal at midnight. After eating the supper, the villagers disperse. Some people are close to the deceased and will meet with the family members and special relatives of the deceased. Stay up all night together to keep vigil for the deceased.
The Le family used to build a house with more than 20 tables at the top. When doing business, the whole village could sit down and sit down, so the number of people expected would not be less than 50 tables.
Therefore, Brother Zhou and others repaired all night to replenish their energy. They got up before dawn on the 2nd and went to Lejia. They made breakfast first, and the masters went to the dojo. They officially prepared the dishes for the evening.
The water and land dojo on the second day only lasted half a day and welcomed guests in the afternoon.
Yang Dayantong and Zhou Qi are the chefs in the Lejia kitchen. Zhang Lao San, Cheng Wu, Cheng Liu, Liu Lu and Dad Zhou Papi serve as assistants. Zhou brother, Cheng Youde and others do odd jobs, and also set tables at Grandma Zhou's house and Cheng Youde's house.
The Le family didn't have any relatives or friends from far away, and the Chao family didn't notify them either, so no relatives or friends came in the morning.
Just after noon, Zhang Ke arrived at Lejia carrying a gift.
Because of Grandma Zhang's behavior, Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, stopped interacting with Zhang Ke. Since it was just a matter of business, when Zhang Ke came, they couldn't chase him away, so they still knelt down to welcome him according to the rules.
Zhang Ke helped up the Lejia couple who were kneeling at the door of the Lejia hall. He was extremely ashamed: "Yueqing, my mother...she was sorry for Leya. I came to atone for my sins. I wore sackcloth and filial piety for Leya and became a filial son and grandson. I apologize to Leya on behalf of my mother.”
"..." Le's father Zhou Qiufeng looked at Zhang Ke in shock.
Village Chief Zhou was also surprised; "Zhang Ke, you said... you came here to show mourning for Leya?"
People who can put mourning on the deceased are usually relatives, juniors or peers who are related to the deceased, or they are students who pay mourning to their teachers, but outsiders are not qualified.
There is another exception, that is, someone wears linen and shows mourning in order to apologize to the deceased, or someone kills the deceased, and the family of the deceased requires someone to wear linen and show mourning for the deceased to atone for his sins.
"Yes, Uncle Man, my mother has done something tormenting her conscience. She should have come to apologize to Le Ya Dai Xiao. My mother is in jail now and can't come. My father's debt is repaid by his son, and my mother's debt is repaid by her son. I'll do it for my mother." Come and atone for your sins." Zhang Ke has become more and more taciturn in recent years. He rarely visits other people's homes or gathers to listen to gossip. He stays at home when he is not working.
Because of the long period of self-reflection, his conscience became increasingly uneasy, and it took all his courage to come to Lejia.
Le's father Zhou Qiufeng was unwilling to accept it and looked at his little cotton-padded jacket.
Village Chief Zhou also looked at Xiao Lele next to the coffin: "Lele, what do you say?"
"My aunt was deceived by the Zhang family and sold to Chen Wu. She was also an accomplice in my aunt's death. It is only natural that her son pays her debts. My aunt can afford it." Le Yun doesn't like Zhang Ke. But it does not deny him the atonement for his sins.
"Okay, if Lele says yes, let Zhang Ke apologize to Leya on his mother's behalf." Xiao Lele made the decision, and Village Chief Zhou did not object.
Zhang Ke handed the gift to Village Chief Zhou, entered the Lejia hall, first went to the Le Yaling to burn incense, and then quickly helped the Lejia sisters and Chen brothers, and got a set of white clothes to wear. , go to Yueqing, and wait for the Yueqing couple to kneel down to pick up the visitors.
Less than forty minutes after Zhang Ke arrived at Lejia, a representative from Jiudao's kindergarten came to Lejia to offer incense to Lejia's aunt and give her a gift.
The gift money is not much, it is based on the numerical level of the gift money given by everyone when doing business in the village.
They gave the gift money and went back first, and would come for dinner in the evening.
After sending away the wave of guests, everyone in the Le family was also ready to welcome the people from the same village.
Before the villagers came, Leyun stayed for a few minutes, stood up, ran out of the main room, and walked along the road towards the village office building. As soon as she reached the village road where there was a big bend towards Lejia, she also met a group of Taoist priests. meet.
A group of eight Taoist priests came from Shengwu Mountain and were led by Dongfang Shen and Li Ziwang.
When Dongfang Shen saw the girl from the Le family, he knew that she knew the whereabouts of his group, so he came to intercept him, straightened his robes, and sang to the little girl wearing mourning clothes who was walking quickly: "Immeasurable blessings, poor Taoist people are polite." . Hearing that Aunt Le’s family was going out tomorrow, Pindao came down the mountain to give her a ride.”
"There's no need to be so pretentious." Le Yun said with a fierce face, without any mercy: "My aunt died tragically at the hands of your sect's disciples, and your sect's former head was also involved. Those two people were connived by you, and I did not take direct revenge. Your sect is my greatest kindness.
You used to cover your ears and eyes and pretend to be deaf and blind, now you have no shame and come here to see my aunt off for the last time.
For a guy like you, even my aunt would think you were dirty.
Your arrival will only make my aunt's reincarnation path dirty. Please leave immediately and don't force me to take action against you. ”
"Miss Le, I have sincerely regretted it. I just want to give Aunt Le's life a ride to alleviate his sins." Dongfang Shen once again heard the words of Miss Le's scolding Shengwu Mountain people who would only dirty Leya's reincarnation path. You have to endure the embarrassment and fight for yourself in a humble voice.
"What do you mean by sincere repentance? When you came to Plum Village, you were just putting on a show, making people think that you lowered your stature and begged me, forcing me to forgive. If I don't forgive, others will only think that I am being lenient and unforgiving. .
When master Wu Changfeng and his disciples brutalized my grandfather, you tried your best to help them cover it up, and now you are trying your best to use tricks to force me. Can such behavior be done by a person who is truly repentant?
If you sincerely regret, you will come to Meicun with great fanfare. But if you regret, you can light a longevity lamp for my aunt on the mountain, chant sutras for my aunt every morning and evening in front of the Taoist ancestors, pray for reincarnation, and enjoy a lifetime of happiness.
Let me tell you black and white, I don't care what the world thinks, so what if others say I am unreasonable and unforgiving? So what if you say I am incompetent?
I live my life for myself. I behave uprightly and never fear what others say.
I don't work so hard to live like a human being just so I can tolerate being angry with you or people like you.
As long as a person is alive, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, but my aunt is dead and will never survive again. This obstacle will never be overcome.
If my aunt can survive, I can forget about it. My aunt is gone, and you want to take advantage of my aunt again before her remains are buried. Isn't it disgusting to you?
No matter when you dare to step on the ground in front of my Le family and the road in front of my grandfather's grave, I will dare to throw him out like garbage. ”
Le Yun felt disgusted when she looked at the old nose of Shengwu Mountain. He said he was highly respected and the pillar of a prestigious family. He was clearly a despicable person!
The Grand Master's uncle was scolded by the little girl and couldn't get off the stage. Li Ziwang hugged Fo Chen and bowed: "Little girl, we really have no different intentions. We really just came to see Aunt Le's family off for the last time and admit our mistakes to her before her death. ”
"Headmaster Li, I repaid you for taking care of Senior Yu last time. I wanted to be more tolerant to you than to others for Senior Yu's sake, and not to disrespect your reputation as the headmaster. It does not mean that I will continue to be tolerant. My tolerance for you has reached its end.”
Le Yun no longer gave face to the new head of Shengwu Mountain. She was tolerant to him in the past because of Senior Yu. She had already repaid the favor for Senior Yu when she climbed Shengwu Mountain at night. She now does not owe anyone in Shengwu Mountain, and there is no need to treat him badly. Who is extra tolerant.
