Chapter 188: A Family

“...... Sir,"

The people inside and outside the courtyard left one after another, and the middle-aged woman Xia Qin walked up to Lian Ge and hesitated.

Having witnessed the old lady's awakening process before, she clearly knew that the old lady's ability to 'come back from the dead' was entirely because of Lian Ge's actions.

Hesitating, turning her head, the middle-aged woman Xia Qin looked at the old lady sitting at the edge of the courtyard,

“...... Sir, please come and sit down and have another meal together. ”

The old lady turned her head, looked at Lian Ge and said aloud.

"The meal has already been eaten, so there is no need for this meal, I just need to stand here. Lian Ge smiled slightly,

Hearing this, the old lady didn't force it anymore, and nodded,

"That gentleman is self-indulgent, so I forgive our family for neglecting. ”

The middle-aged woman, Xia Qin, listened to the conversation between Lian Ge and the old lady, nodded to Lian Ge, and then turned around and walked away.

......

Under the persuasion of the middle-aged woman Xia Qin and several elderly people in the village, people inside and outside the courtyard gradually left one after another.

Only the old lady's family and Lian Ge remained, as well as the cook who was busy by the makeshift desk and stove at the edge of the courtyard.

......

Standing on the edge of the courtyard and glancing at the few people left in the courtyard, Lian Ge applied a small spell of 'invisible concealment' to himself, and continued to quietly watch the scenes in the courtyard in front of him.

......

As the chefs and helpers in the kitchen are busy, the aroma of the dishes is diffuse.

While talking to his mother from time to time, Chen Deyi reopened the dining table under the eaves by the courtyard and placed it in front of the hall.

The middle-aged woman, Xia Qin, also helped, setting up the stool.

“...... Deyi, how long will it take? The old lady leaned back in her seat and said a little weakly,

"It's coming, it's coming soon,......" Chen Deyi pulled the bench from under the eaves, and quickly responded,

"Mom, if you're tired, I'll help you into the house to rest for a while, and I'll call you when the food here is ready." ”

After setting up the round table and stools, Chen Deyi turned around and said.

Hearing this, the old lady shook her head slightly,

“...... Where's Mohito?"

“...... Haven't come back yet. Chen Deyi glanced at the road outside the courtyard and said in silence.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded and did not speak again.

Chen Deyi hesitated in place, looked at the table that had been arranged, and then looked at the chef who was already very busy in the courtyard.

After a pause, he walked towards the mourning hall in the hall that had not yet been removed.

"Virtue and righteousness...... What are you going to do?" the old lady turned her head and looked at Chen Deyi,

"Mom, I'm going to clean up the mess in the hall...... You're awake and looking at the bad luck. Chen Deyi paused, turned around and replied,

"No, just leave it there. The old lady looked at Chen Deyi and shook her head,

Hearing this, Chen Deyi looked at his weak mother and was silent.

"Mom......"

"Okay, then let it go. ”

Chen Deyi said, and walked back in front of the old lady,

"Mom, I'll help you to sit at the table. ”

When the old lady heard this, she looked at Chen Deyi, shook her head, and didn't let Chen Deyi help her.

Propping up the seat with your hands, you have to get up by yourself,

But it seems that he was weak and lacked strength in the past, and when he got up halfway there, he fell back again.

Seeing this, Chen Deyi hurriedly reached out and hugged the old lady, but as soon as his hand touched his mother's skin, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mom, why are your hands so ...... cold?"

As he spoke, Chen Deyi's face showed a panicked look,

"Mom, you wait, I'll go get you a quilt, get clothes, you wear thicker ......"

Chen Deyi

"Mom, aren't you very cold, I'll go get your clothes, I'll go get ......" As he spoke, Chen Deyi walked towards the house.

"Virtue ......"

The old lady sat down in her chair and called softly,

Suddenly, Chen Deyi paused and turned around.

Looking at Chen Deyi, the old lady shook her head slowly and didn't say anything.

"Mom......" Chen Deyi called out to his mother, his voice trembling slightly, with a crying tone, and a little choked.

"Help me through. The old lady said aloud.

"Well... Mom, I'll help you over. Chen Deyi choked up, reached out to hold his mother's cold hand, and walked towards the dining table step by step.

......

Walking to the dining table, Chen Deyi helped the old lady to slowly sit down on the chair again, and then sat next to him.

“...... Deyi, let's talk to my mother. The old lady sat on the seat, turned her head to look at her little son, and said with a smile,

"Okay, Mom, we'll say whatever you want," Chen Deyi nodded in response,

Hearing this, the old lady looked at her little son with a smile on her face, as if she was stuck in a memory,

“...... I still remember when you were young, but you were wild, climbing trees and going down the river, you wanted to try everything, unlike your brother, who was honest and told him not to do anything, he wouldn't do it.

One time, you played with a slingshot and killed the neighbor's chicken, and someone else approached the door, do you remember how it ended up?"

Hearing this, Chen Deyi smiled,

“...... I gave the slingshot to my eldest brother, and although he knew what was going on, he took it anyway......"

As he spoke, Chen Deyi fell silent again.

“...... When your dad brought your eldest brother to ask him, he directly admitted that he killed the chicken. At that time, your father was so angry that he slapped your brother with a bamboo pole for a long time, and he didn't cry......"

The old lady looked at Chen Deyi and said,

"Deyi, you are two brothers......"

Hearing this, Chen Deyi was silent and did not speak again.

......

“...... Old lady, here comes the food. ”

At the edge of the courtyard, the cook came over with a plate of dishes and put them to the table.

The old lady looked at it, and a smile appeared on her face,

“...... When your dad was still alive, he also liked to eat this preserved egg tofu. As soon as this dish is served, you two will rush to eat it, and you are not afraid of choking......"

"Now......"

As she spoke, the old lady shook her head and did not continue.

Chen Deyi looked at the dish on the table, and was also a little stunned.

......

“...... Your taste is as good as your dad, and your eldest brother is as good as I am, so I like to eat this flavor of chicken. ”

As he spoke, the cook came up with a steaming dish and placed it in front of the old lady.

And at the same time,

On the side of the courtyard, several figures followed the village road and stepped into the courtyard.

It was Chen Maoren and his wife, son-in-law and daughter-in-law who went to call the family over before.

After Chen Maoren stepped into the courtyard, he took a few steps and walked in front of the old lady.

And his wife, Tao Jiahui, was reluctant and didn't have a good look on her face.

Chen Maoren's son and daughter-in-law followed closely, the makeup on their faces had not been removed, the woman looked nervous, and Chen Maoren's son looked at his grandmother, his face was like his father's, and his expression was a little complicated.

"Come and sit down. ”

The old lady glanced at a few people and said aloud,

Hearing this, Chen Maoren sat down on the other side of the old lady.

And Tao Jiahui was rubbing, walked to the table, and was reluctant to sit down when she was standing.

"Sit down. The old lady looked at Tao Jiahui and repeated it again.

Hearing the sound, Tao Jiahui subconsciously glanced at the old lady, looking at the pale face on the old lady's face, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, she didn't dare to spill again, and sat down a little panicked.

And Chen Maoren's son and daughter-in-law also sat down after his parents.

Looking at this scene, the old lady smiled and turned her head.

......

"Old lady, the dishes are ready, you can use them slowly. ”

The chef put down the last dish, glanced at the people at the table, and walked away.

"Thank you. The old lady nodded, thanked her, and said to the middle-aged woman beside her

"Xiaqin, you can sit down too. ”

"Eh, okay, Mom......" answered, and after setting the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Qin also sat down beside her husband.

......

Looking at the few people around the dining table, looking at this family, the old lady had a smile on her face, and she picked up the chopsticks on the table with great difficulty.

"Eat, eat......"
