It was originally a warm conversation, but a Li Dubao almost broke down again.

In the end, the mother and daughter ignored each other and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, the old lady woke up as soon as she started thinking.

"Don't get up, you're still busy today, you lie down more, accumulate some physical strength, and I'll cook the food." As she spoke, Yuan Si dragged the clothes in the quilt in the dark and put them on her body one by one.

"Well, then I'll lie down again, don't make any complicated things, just take a bite. "The old lady didn't sleep well last night, and she is not reckless at this time.

After Yuan Si got dressed, she tucked the quilt corner for the old lady, and didn't go out to cook immediately after putting on her shoes and getting off the kang, but squatted in front of the kang hole and lit the fire again.

There is no temperature in the middle of the night after the fire, and it is the coldest in the morning, usually the old lady gives her a kang hole in the morning, and now she also serves the old lady once.

When he got out of the house, Xiao Fuwen also happened to walk out of the house.

"Why do you wake up so early, I'll just cook in the morning, and you'll go back and sleep for a while. Xiao Fuwen closed the door and whispered.

"No need, we're all up, I can't sleep anymore, let's cook together." A smile bloomed on Yuan Si's face, and she took the initiative to take Xiao Fuwen's hand and walk to the kitchen together.

"Okay, what do you want to eat, you say, I'll give you a hand. Xiao Fuwen also smiled.

It's not that he just says that he doesn't practice fake tricks, in the winter, cooking vegetables on the stove or something is a good job, and no one wants to do the work that needs to touch the water such as washing vegetables and cutting vegetables.

"I have to work hard all day today, and I think I have to make something to eat to fight hunger, or I am not afraid to last until noon. Yuan Si pondered as she walked.

The couple worked together to make breakfast, and when it was ready, they called everyone up, washed up and ate breakfast, changed into filial piety clothes, and the family went to Uncle Li's house.

It was just five o'clock at this time, and it was still dark outside.

When they arrived, the Li family also got up.

One after another, the people who should come came, seeing that it was about to be an auspicious time, the old lady's face was getting darker and darker, and Li Dubao did not come among the people who should come.

When the auspicious time arrived, Mr. Yin and Yang who invited him began to operate, and at this time he no longer grasped feudal superstition, but ordinary people were still more cautious, and they were quiet when they invited people over for funerals at home.

Finally, in an hour, the four young students invited by the village lifted the coffin.

At this time, Li Dubao actually appeared.

On a cold day, he didn't know where he came from, he was sweating, and he was still wheezing when he entered the yard.

"Dusk Bao is here, hurry up and put on filial piety clothes and send your uncle on his last journey. Wang Danfeng hurriedly took out a few pieces of white cloth to wrap around him, don't worry about it, it's better to come than not to come.

The old lady's face softened slightly, pursed her lips and didn't say anything, she was supported by her daughter, followed in the middle of the team, and went to bury Li Ende together.

Because everyone was scared in those years, the steps of the funeral were simplified and simplified, and the last thing was to send the person to the place, and then the family members knelt down and kowtowed in front of the grave, and cried and cried.

In this way, it was already noon when they returned to Li's house.

The next thing is to eat the white banquet, which is the main family to thank the relatives and friends who came to pay their respects.

Yuan Si sent the old lady into the house to be the companion of the eldest lady, and then followed Zhaohe Fangping to the banquet, while Xiao Fuwen followed Li Zhaohai to entertain the guests outside.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, when all the guests were sent away, that their families gathered a table and ate a meal quietly.

After eating, the old lady didn't stay long, and told Chen Fengzhen that she would come over to accompany her, so she took her daughter back to her house.

When she got home, the old lady ordered, "You two go to your sister-in-law's house and sleep for a while, your eyes are swollen from crying, and you must sleep for a while." ”

Xiaohu and Xiaoniu seemed to have something wrong with the atmosphere, so without saying a word, they went into the sister-in-law's house.

"Mother, I'll go watch them. Xiao Fuwen knew that this was the old lady who wanted to settle accounts with his eldest brother, and it was better for him, an outsider, not to be onlookers.

The old lady nodded, saw her daughter sitting steadily on the edge of the kang, didn't plan to leave, didn't say anything, and looked at her son.

Li Dubao made the old lady look a little helpless, so she could only ask dryly: "Mother, when are you coming back?" Why didn't you tell me, I'll pick you up." ”

"I can count on you. The old lady said coldly, "Let me ask you, how many times have you come back these days when your uncle is gone?"

"Mother, you also know that I have a job, and I really can't take too long of leave, so I'll just ......"

"So you can be a nephew and don't ask? You can really do it, your unit doesn't give you an advanced evaluation, if they don't give you an evaluation, I'll go to your leaders and see if my son has been sold to them, and even my uncle dies without asking for leave to come back, where can I find such a good worker." ”

Li Dubao knelt down in front of the old lady with a puff, crying uncontrollably, "Mother, mother, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, it's me who is not filial, don't be angry." ”

"Haha, I can't stand your kneeling, you hurry up, don't break my life, I want to live a few more years." The old lady said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

Li Dubao stopped talking, lowering his head and sobbing quietly.

Yuan Si looked at Li Dubao like this and pouted, after so many years, he has not grown at all, and he is still so.

"Don't cry with me, when you just saw off your uncle for the last time, it is better to cry twice than anything else. ”

The old lady saw that her son was still bowing her head and crying, and finally couldn't help scolding, "Li Dubao, Li Dubao, are you still human, how good is your uncle to you, from childhood to adulthood, he can be said to be better to you than to your two brothers, when you were a soldier, it was your uncle who sent you there, your uncle ran back and forth with you in the county when you changed jobs, and when you got married, it was your uncle who gave you Zhang Luo after being busy, and you forgot all about it?"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. ”

"I haven't forgotten that your uncle died and you didn't come to see him, and you could be late when you saw him off for the last ride. ”

Li Dubao was speechless again.

"Why didn't your daughter-in-law come over, what's the matter, you are divorced, she is not the daughter-in-law of our old Li family, is she, such a big thing, one of her nieces and daughters-in-law doesn't even show her face, what are you trying to do, do you want to completely draw a line with the old Li family, right? ”

"No, no, mother, Yaping, Yaping, there is something going on at home, Yaping can't leave......" Li Dubao couldn't think of the reason he thought of on the road for a while.

"What's the matter? her children are all raised by me, what else can she do?" asked the old lady unceremoniously.

Li Dubao couldn't say a word when he was scolded again.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask you anymore, anyway, it's already separated, you can live as you want this day, I can't care so much when I'm old, I don't care if you break off with your relatives here." ”
