As for the frame of tofu, Shumin told them that it is not necessary, and it can also be replaced by baskets and other containers at home, but the tofu made without the tofu frame will not look so good, so the villagers still tend to make a set to keep at home.

For a while, the carpenter business in Liuxi Village was thriving, and they couldn't stop laughing.

It took most of the day for Shumin to finally teach everyone how to make tofu, but she would stay in the village for an extra day.

When the villagers returned home, they couldn't wait to start making tofu.

It looked easy to learn, but as soon as I started to do it, I found that many of the steps began to become plausible.

So that afternoon, Shu Min and the big and small Li families never rested, and from time to time someone came over to ask some questions.

Shumin and Xiao Li are also very patient, and when they meet those who are really not very smart, they also teach them hand-in-hand.

Compared with them, Cheng Shengshude and the two yacha are much happier.

They wandered around the village for a while, then went back to their rooms to take a nap. In the end, under Shude's hard entanglement, the two learned martial arts in an open place, attracting a group of boys to come and watch.

"We're leaving tomorrow. The schedule was tight, and Xiao Li returned to his residence and began to pack up.

"Hui'er Niang, aren't you going to clean it up?" Seeing Shumin standing in the courtyard in a daze, Xiao Li asked curiously.

"I want to pay my respects at the graves of my father and eldest brother before leaving. Over the years, she has rarely come to worship her parents, but now that she has come to Liuxi Village, there is no reason not to worship again.

"That's as it should be, I'll prepare some ingots and candles for you. Xiao Li understood Shumin's mood and left the courtyard to find some ingots and candles. But when she got out of the yard, she remembered that she was not in Baili Village now, but in Liuxi Village, and she couldn't even know the road, so where could she go to find these things? So she went to find Qin Yonghuan's daughter-in-law.

"It should be worshipped. Qin Yonghuan's daughter-in-law listened to Xiao Li's explanation, and hurriedly found out all the ingots and candles left over from the Yu Lan Festival to worship the ancestors. At present, there is still some time before the winter solstice, and these things for the dead have not been prepared at home.

"That's all. Qin Yonghuan's daughter-in-law found everything, and it was about the size of a small basket.

"Thank you, auntie. Xiao Li looked at the shallow basket of ingots folded into gold paper bowls, a pair of candles, and a few incense sticks. It's not much, but it's there, so I'm relieved. politely thanked Qin Yonghuan's daughter-in-law, and returned to the residence with the basket.

As soon as Xiao Li left, Qin Yonghuan came back, and when he saw Xiao Li leaving from his house with a basket, he asked his daughter-in-law what had happened. His daughter-in-law told her husband the purpose of Xiao Li's visit.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yonghuan shouted, "Confused! How can that ingots made of gold leaf be enough?! Why don't you hurry up and buy it." The more you buy, the better!"

Now that her niece is also home, she will have to rely on her in the future, and now she wants to go to the grave to sweep the grave, it is a good time for herself to please her, this mother-in-law is so eyeless, she actually sent the little things left over from the Yu Lan Festival!

He sent someone to find the third brother Yongming, and asked him to take his two boys to hurry up and tidy up the curtain of the second brother Qin Yongxuan, the second brother and sister Ye, and their son Shuhuan, remove the weeds, and tidy up the messy stones in front and back.

The second brother's family is thin, and their tomb has been unattended for a long time, and it has long been overgrown with weeds and rocks. Because they all died young, they were not blessed to be buried in the ancestral grave, so I don't know how long it has not been sorted out.

If Shu Min sees this situation when she worships tomorrow, their hard-won favor will disappear immediately, and if she doesn't do it, she will lose more than she gains, making her hate herself.

So he arranged for the third brother to take his own son to tidy up the second brother's grave overnight, and folded a lot of gold ingots with his mother-in-law overnight, cut a lot of "copper coins", and made a few white flags, which were inserted in front of the grave tomorrow.

Qin Yonghuan did this, Shu Min naturally didn't know, she was in the room at this time, folding gold ingots with the little Li family and the big Li family. The little Li family got it back before, although everything was complete, but he was not in the village, and his parents had a lot less worship, and now he finally went back, and he must burn more for them.

"That's pretty much it. Looking at the table full of gold ingots, Da Li stretched his waist and said, she was tired from running around the village all day today.

"Well, almost. Go and rest, all of you. Fortunately, it was bitter. Shumin is grateful for their company. "I'll just fold a few more. ”

I didn't say anything all night, and Shumin got up early the next morning.

She didn't alarm the big and small Li in her sleep, and put the meal and wine she had prepared last night into a large basket together with the ingots candle to be used during the sacrifice.

Her parents' grave was far from the village, and she had to walk for more than half an hour to get there.

The sun has been shining brightly for the past few days, but for some reason, it has been drizzling today. Shumin's mood was very heavy, she didn't have an umbrella, and let the winter rain fall on her.

"Father, mother, the unfilial daughter Shumin has come to see you. ”

The mountain road was rugged, and Shumin walked very hard, but she did not complain. The moment he saw his parents' graves, Shumin knelt down.

The grave was clean, not a single weed was visible. Shu Min was a little surprised, and after a closer look, it turned out that someone had cleaned and sorted out the front and back of this acre of land before him.

"It must have been done by the uncle. Shu Min was sarcastic, but immediately relieved: if their flattery to themselves can be exchanged for the glamour and decency of their parents, it is also a good thing.

Qin Yongeng and Ye are buried together, and the acres of land are relatively large. Qin Shuhuan was buried next to them, and the cemetery was slightly smaller.

Shumin silently lit the white candle, put the prepared roast chicken, fried egg and rice side by side in front of the grave, took out the wine, and said to the tombstone:

"Father, mother, eldest brother, eat. ”

"Father, this is your favorite soju. Shumin poured the soju into the cup and poured it gently in front of the tombstone.

"Big brother, you also come to have a drink with your father. As he spoke, Shumin added another cup and poured it down against Qin Shuhuan's tombstone.

"Big brother, don't worry, now that Feng'an is with me, I will definitely raise him well. "There is a wild flower left on the grave of the eldest brother, and I don't know what kind of flower it is, but it blooms with small white flowers in winter. A gust of wind blew, and Xiaohua nodded frequently, as if the eldest brother had a bright smile in the past.

Looking at the wildflower, Shu Min suddenly felt a little weak, and she suddenly thought of herself.

She is a lonely soul in another world, the real Shumin has already died, has her soul already reached the underworld? Has she already been reunited with her parents and eldest brother? Will she sue her parents and eldest brother, saying that she has occupied her body and made her no longer have any chance of survival?

The wildflower was still swaying in the wind, but at the moment its smile was like a mockery, and Shumin was dazzled when he saw it.

I don't know if it was rained, Shumin's hands and feet were cold, and his face was a little pale.

She felt like she couldn't pretend anymore. She can live as a peasant woman Shumin in front of others, but in front of her deceased biological parents and brother, how can she still pretend?

Tears were a little cold, and Shumin begged for forgiveness at the grave.

Forgive me for continuing to live in the world as your daughter, forgive me for continuing to be Hui'er's mother as her, and forgive me for being Fengan's aunt as her.

A fierce wind blew and blew on Shumin's face, like a knife.

The candle was blown out, and the ingots were scattered in the wind. Even the incense seems to have died out.

"Don't you want to forgive me?" she tried to light the candle again, but the wind was too strong for the flint to hit.

"It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, Hui'er still needs me now, and Feng'an can't do without me. I raised them well, and I regarded it as reparation. ”

In the middle of the ring, Shumin seemed to have made up his mind, and kowtowed three times to each of the two tombstones.

"If you don't want to, then ask Shumin to come to me, if she wants to come back, I will return the body to her without saying a word!"

After speaking, he staggered to his feet and prepared to go down the mountain.

Wind and rain, she doesn't seem to be in very good shape. Can you still walk down the mountain?

At this time, Uncle Qin Yonghuan led a large family to this remote cemetery. Early in the morning, he went to find Shumin, hoping that the whole family would accompany her to hold a tomb sweeping ceremony for Shumin. Who knew that Shu Min went out alone before dawn.

didn't receive Shumin, so he hurriedly led the whole family towards here.

I hope that by the time we arrive, Shumin has not finished worshipping!

When they arrived, Shumin had just gotten up and was ready to leave.

"Shumin, don't leave yet, we have always been full of guilt for your family, and today, Uncle led the whole family to worship your family and compensate them. ”

Shu Min saw that he had such a big battle, which was even bigger than the battle when his father was buried, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to endure his crumbling body and accompany them to worship again.

"Second brother, I'm sorry for you, I didn't help you look after you left, the eldest brother was confused before!"

"Fortunately, Shumin is out now, she is very appreciative of the tofu county order, and now she is ordered by the county order to teach this skill everywhere, this is the glory of the glory of the ancestors. Second brother, you are blessed."

Maybe it's because the wind is light, or maybe it's because there are too many people to block the wind, and the uncle is very smooth when they light candles and incense, and even when they burn ingots, there are not many ingots that fly away.

Is there really a providence in the dark?

The wind blew and the rain drenched, Shu Minyaoyao's jade pendant's body could no longer support it, and he was confused in front of him.

The moment she fell, she seemed to really see Shumin's parents and eldest brother, who were standing on top of the grave, looking at her with a smile
