"Thank you sister-in-law for mentioning something, I don't think she dares to do anything to me!" Ding Qinghe heard this, cast a grateful glance at Jiang, and replied in a low voice.
"Well, you have confidence, anyway, I can't wait to strangle you when I look at her gaze!" Jiang Shi moved closer to Ding Qinghe and whispered.
"Look at what you said, sister-in-law, I'm really speechless, hehe!" Ding Qinghe frowned and said.
Jiang Shi saw that Ding Qinghe's hair bun was stained with some white cloth threads, and reached out to help her gently brush it away, her head was tilted towards her, and she said: "Anyway, the old lady doesn't seem to be a good talker, I see that we should stay away from her in the future." ”
"What my sister-in-law said is, well, fortunately, we are going to be buried tomorrow, and we can also rest, I am now sleepy!" Ding Qinghe was still worried about the second medicinal food shop, because the incident happened suddenly, so she decided to let the second medicine food shop close down.
"Then you close your eyes and lean back in your chair for a while, and I'll keep vigil. Jiang was quite considerate and preached.
"Don't, I'll really fall asleep in a while, and I'm going to be trained again, let's wait for my father-in-law and my eldest brother to take over! Ding Qinghe shook his head and said to Jiang.
Ding Qinghe felt that although she was very sleepy, she really didn't want to sleep in the mourning hall.
The Yin family had an opinion when they saw their sister-in-law muttering.
"What's the matter? What are the two of you saying that are not easy to say, and they are still muttering behind my back, but are they talking about other people?" Yin Shi coughed lightly and asked.
"Grandmother, we didn't say anything, just reminded each other not to fall asleep during the wake. Seeing that Ding Qinghe didn't respond, Jiang Shi was a clever person, and immediately said to Yin.
Yin Shi bowed his head lightly when he heard this, and then looked at Fei Shi in the coffin, Fei Shi had already wrapped it in red cloth at this time, because the weather was hot in June, according to Ding Qinghe's suggestion, Ding Shuanglu and Ding Shuangxi went to Lizheng's house to buy ice cubes to preserve.
In this way, Fei's corpse doesn't smell a little rotten, but if you get closer, you can still smell it.
Until the second half of the night, Jiang and Ding Qinghe didn't fall asleep, but Fei's sister-in-law Fei Qiuniang couldn't bear it and was already drowsy, but Ding Shuangxi persuaded Fei Qiuniang to go to the house to rest.
Fei Qiuniang felt tired, not to mention that the Yin family was a lot older, so naturally it was not easy to stay up late.
couldn't stand it anymore, so he was naturally obediently helped by Ding Shuangxi and went to the house to rest.
"It's finally quiet. Ding Qinghe sighed.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you on the earthen stove." Jiang said to Ding Qinghe with a smile.
"I'm not hungry now, if you're hungry, go get some food yourself, I'll be here alone, it's okay." Ding Qinghe smiled lightly and declined, anyway, there is no one here, and it is quite tiring to keep a straight face.
Jiang snorted, got up and walked out of the mourning hall.
After Ding Qinghe waited for Jiang to go out, he looked at the white laying characters and the gloomy candle flames, and he had goosebumps all over his body.
Suddenly, someone slapped her on the shoulder from behind, but it scared her.
"Who?" she said aloud.
"Lady, it's me!" Shi Zhugeng yawned lazily, and a handsome face magnified came to Ding Qinghe.
"Oh, you walk silently, why are you scaring me, you really scared me to death!" Ding Qinghe was a little angry, pouting and questioning him.
"Lady, I didn't mean to, don't be angry!" Shi Zhugeng saw that Ding Qinghe was really angry, and he immediately apologized to her.
"Didn't you go to the house to rest, why did you come out?" Ding Qinghe felt strange.
"It's not that I'm suffocated by a soak of urine, no, I'll get up right away! After going to the toilet, I saw that the lady was here alone, so I wanted to come over to accompany you!" Shi Zhugeng explained honestly.
"Okay, okay! I don't need you to accompany me here, you better go and rest quickly! I will be buried tomorrow or something, and I still need our help!" Ding Qinghe stood up and stretched out his hand to push him out.
But Shi Zhugeng didn't want to leave, the two chattered and talked a little more, and Ding Qinghe pushed him to the house again to rest.
No, at this time, Jiang came in with a tray, only to see two bowls of green vegetable porridge in the tray.
"Oh, I've only been walking away for a while, are you two tired of being together again?" Jiang may have had a good relationship with Ding Qinghe these days, but at this time, he actually joked about these two people.
"Look at what my sister-in-law said, I'm just not worried about coming to take a look. Shi Zhugeng was worried that Ding Qinghe was thin-skinned and embarrassed by Jiang's words, so he hurriedly explained.
"Are you also there, are you hungry? There is still some green vegetable porridge on the stove, if you are afraid that you will not be full, and there are uneaten buns on the table during the day. Jiang said to Shi Zhugeng.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I'm not hungry now, otherwise, you can let the eldest brother eat later." Shi Zhugeng thought to himself that he had eaten too much last night, and he really couldn't eat it at this time.
"Sister-in-law, you can eat it, this green vegetable was planted by my mother's family yesterday, and it is a variety of bantam green vegetables eaten in winter, and it is boiled with some lard, and it tastes good!"
Ding Qinghe didn't shirk this time, he happily took the dishes and chopsticks, and ate them with a little pickles, not to mention, the taste of this green vegetable porridge is not bad.
After eating the green vegetable porridge, Ding Shuanglu came over to replace them.
"Lady, Sister Qinghe, you all go and rest, here is me and my brother-in-law guarding. After Ding Shuanglu asked Shi Zhu Geng if he was sleepy, Shi Zhugeng said that he was not sleepy, yes, Ding Shuanglu said to Jiang and Ding Qinghe.
Ding Qinghe and Jiang were really sleepy, so they went back to rest, and Shi Zhugeng took the initiative to take the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the earthen stove room to help them brush them, and when he finished brushing the dishes and chopsticks, he went to the mourning hall to guard the spirit with his brother-in-law.
"I can't do anything like my grandmother during the day, the people of the Fei family are very difficult to get along with, and when I was a child, I didn't like to go to my grandfather's house very much. In fact, after my mother and my father left, she went back to Fei's house, hey!" The two were afraid of falling asleep, so they chatted about family life.
"Ah, then, the mother-in-law was really picked up by the Fei family?" Shi Zhugeng guessed when he heard his brother-in-law say this.
"But isn't it? The woman who said that he was separated should not come back to the Fei family, otherwise, at that stage, my mother would not be in a bad mood every day, and she would be short-tempered, and the Fei family was all sanctimonious, hey, poor my mother, she didn't know people clearly! Otherwise, in the end, she wouldn't have gone to the Qian family with the money of the split family!" Ding Shuanglu sighed, in fact, he felt a little guilty about his old lady Fei in his heart, but he didn't say it in his heart, he was afraid that he would be laughed at by Shi Zhugeng.
"Now that my mother-in-law is gone, it's useless for us to talk about this. Shi Zhugeng got up, stood with his hands in his hands, and said.
"You're talking about ......," Ding Shuanglu echoed.
Next, the two talked a few more words, and at dawn, Ding Shuangxi also came over, and Ding Shuanglu went back to the room to call his wife Jiang up and cry.
This dead man stayed at home for two nights, which is the custom of this Great Chu Qingzhou Mansion.
However, some people say that this Fei's life is not good, and when she was buried, the weather was bad and there was a thunderstorm.
When Fei's funeral was over, Ding Qinghe heard from his grandmother Yin and asked her to ask the monks of Baiyun Temple to do a ritual for Fei's when Fei's fifth and seventh days, and then go to Baiyun Temple to add some sesame oil money.
"Why did you ask you to do something for her?" Jiang couldn't help but say that she was stupid after learning that Ding Qinghe agreed.
"I'm not stupid, I just don't want to tear my face with the old lady, she's old, white-haired people send black-haired people, and there are people who are in a bad mood, besides, this is also the right thing for a daughter to do a ritual for a mother. Ding Qinghe thought to herself that this might be what the original Ding Qinghe meant in her heart, she always had some guilt for not treating Fei, if she knew that Qian Yuanmu was that kind of scum, she should be able to heal Fei, but there is no regret medicine in this world.
At the end of the day, human nature is selfish.
Ding Qinghe doesn't think that she is a virgin and must heal anyone, and she also has people who don't want to heal, but the Yin family may not be able to understand her inner thoughts, but it is too late to say this now.
"Forget it, when I didn't say it. Jiang didn't say anything, but after Ding Qinghe and Shi Zhugeng went back, she talked about it with her father-in-law Ding Shuanglu.
"Do you think sister-in-law is stupid? Do you use Wuqi to do things for your mother? This is a ritual that costs a tael of silver! Could it be that my sister-in-law's second medicinal food shop is now making money? She is so rich?" Jiang Shi said curiously.
"I can understand her, most of it is guilt! Lady, we've been tired for a few days, let's wash and sleep early!" Ding Shuanglu said to Jiang.
"Oh, you're so annoying, annoying!" Jiang Shi was quite unhappy when he saw that he didn't answer his words, so he glared at him with apricot eyes.
"Good lady, I'm really tired of your husband! This funeral is not easy at all! Ding Shuanglu felt very tired.
"That paper is good, have you given it?" Jiang asked curiously.
"Well, let's talk about it, our family doesn't have much silver, let him build a house for my mother according to the standard of ordinary people, as well as some daily necessities, this person went to the underworld, and he also wants to live!" Ding Shuanglu sighed and sighed.
"Who says it's not, it's better to get some money, and your mother wants money in the underworld. Jiang snorted and said.
"Lady, it's not a matter for your family to always live on a few acres of land, do you want to discuss it with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, I wonder if we can also get a medicinal diet to spread out?" Ding Shuanglu felt that he owed a lot of money for his mother's funeral this time, so he wanted to make more money to supplement the family.
Let's think of another way, let's think of another way, your sister-in-law's brain is active, and when the shed built in our yard is demolished, you will have to go to Guijiao Bay to ask for ideas when you are free. "Who doesn't want to make more money, yes,Jiang smiled and encouraged him.
"Cheng, I'll see it, that's it!" Ding Shuanglu thought of asking his father-in-law's family to borrow more than two taels of silver to handle his mother's funeral.
"Well, let's work hard to earn money, and we can always live a good life. I saw that my sister-in-law and her life were really good, and I found that my sister-in-law was much better than before in terms of the clothes she was wearing, which shows that there is money to be made in business. Jiang Shi observed very carefully, and at this time she and Ding Shuanglu revealed.
"Really, my lady looked at it so carefully, I didn't even notice it! Lady, one day, I will buy you good materials, so that you can make clothes with good materials. Ding Shuanglu nodded hurriedly when he heard this.
"Well, I'm sure there will be such a day!" Jiang nodded.
Here, the Jiang family was envious of Ding Qinghe and Shi Zhugeng's good life, but Ding Qinghe was talking to Shi Zhugeng about what happened during this funeral.
"When do you think we will take the time to visit my father-in-law?" Shi Zhugeng asked Ding Qinghe.
"Let's go to the second medicine restaurant tomorrow morning, where can we be free? I'll see if I'll delay going for two days, at least wait for my results to come out, and if I do well in the exam, let my father be happy for me." Ding Qinghe smiled and shook his head, thinking that his father's heart was not as fragile as Shi Zhugeng thought, besides, her father got along very well with the Wu family, she really didn't have to worry too much.
"It's okay, the lady decides!" In this kind of thing, Shi Zhugeng basically won't object, besides, he is almost the same as his wife and slave now.
As soon as Ding Qinghe and Shi Zhugeng arrived at home, they opened the doors and windows first, and they didn't come back to live for two days, and there was a strange smell in the house.
Shi Zhugeng felt sorry for Ding Qinghe for not taking a good bath for two nights in a row, so he went to the earthen stove room and took the initiative to boil hot water.
Ding Qinghe went to get the food to feed the chickens, ducks and geese first, while Shi Zhugeng was busy working in the earthen stove room.
Ding Qinghe matched the chickens, ducks and geese to eat, so he ran to scoop water for him, filled the cauldron, just covered the pot lid and didn't have time to light the fire, he saw Shi Zhugeng go to the firewood room to bring a bundle of firewood, he sat in front of the stove, put in some wheat straw, picked up the flint and skillfully lit the fire, after the fire got bigger, threw a few handfuls of corn cobs into it, and pulled the bellows.
"Let's have fried rice for dinner, I brought back rice and steamed buns from my mother's house, and one bowl of fried rice and steamed buns per person for a while, what do you think?" Although Ding Qinghe didn't want to eat leftovers, he didn't want to waste them.
"Okay, lady. Shi Zhugeng smiled and agreed.
"Hmm. Ding Qinghe smiled and nodded.
When the hot water was boiled, Shi Zhugeng thoughtfully helped Ding Qinghe carry a bucket of hot water to the ear room of the bath, and asked Ding Qinghe to take a bath first.
Ding Qinghe didn't shirk it, after all, he hadn't taken a bath for two days, and now it was a hot day.
After Ding Qinghe finished taking a bath, he felt refreshed.
Shi Zhugeng was not idle, and made the braised fish eaten by the bear's eggs.
The braised fish eaten by this bear egg is still the fish that Shi Zhugeng caught a lot of before, and kept it in a fish tile tank.
It's not a big fish that people eat, but the kind of small fish, for bear eggs to eat, it doesn't need to be too big, just taste delicious, let's put it this way, this bear cub has been made by Ding Qinghe's two mouths, non-braised fish don't eat, generally move to eat, this bear cub still can't look down on it.
Ding Qinghe put on an apron, picked up a spatula, and let Shi Zhugeng make a fire, she poured a little lard into the pot, then chopped the green vegetables, got some salted meat foam, fried for a while, poured in the white rice brought back from her mother's house, patted two eggs, and added green green onions.
"Our family took eight buns, oops, what should Xiong Bai do? Don't starve to death?" Ding Qinghe remembered Xiong Bai in hindsight.
"Lady, there are some dumplings and wontons in the earthen stove room in our medicinal food shop that you wrapped before, as well as baked cakes, no matter how bad it is, he can disguise himself as a woman and go out to find food, Cui Annoying people will never think that the ugly girl is a beautiful man like Xiong Bai pretending, hehe." Shi Zhugeng stretched his eyebrows and smiled.
"Well, Xianggong has a point. Ding Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, just now she was worried that Xiong Bai would starve to death, but then she thought that Xiong Bai was not stupid, so she would naturally look for food, she was really worried.
"Aunt Qinghe, Aunt Qinghe, open the door, help, help!" With some messy footsteps at the gate, a girl's urgent shout for help sounded immediately.
"Is it Lai Xiaohua's voice? But Granny Huang is sick?" Ding Qinghe heard this, hurriedly threw down the bun he was biting, and said suspiciously.
"Let's go open the door and take a look!" Shi Zhugeng remembered that Lai Xiaohua and her custard mother-in-law lived a hard life together, and he was very worried.
"Okay, let's go open the door and take a look!" Ding Qinghe got up quickly, lifted his skirt and followed Shi Zhugeng to the front.
When I opened the door, I saw Lai Xiaohua hugging Ding Qinghe, shouting for help: "Those shameless relatives in my family are going to sell me, I ...... My grandmother fought hard to block it, I ...... Aunt Qinghe, you are a doctor, you should save her! Please!"
Lai Xiaohua cried sadly, and Ding Qinghe, who listened, had a solemn face.
"Lady, I'll go with you, Xiaohua, what is going on with you carefully along the way?" Shi Zhugeng was very worried when he heard that Granny Huang might have had an accident, so he said.
"Yes...... It was my uncle and aunt who learned that the county forester was looking for a maid to serve the third son, so they wanted me to go, and it was said that I could earn a tael of silver a year, but my grandmother asked someone to inquire, and the third son of the Lin family was not a good thing, and none of the maids who served him came out with all the beards and tails, and I ...... I'm afraid...... My grandmother is even more afraid!" Speaking of this, Lai Xiaohua cried even louder.
"Is this still called a relative? It's really shameless to ask for money! Damn! Okay, okay, Xiaohua, you're crying, let's go see your milk first!" Ding Qinghe didn't expect these poor relatives of the Lai family to be so ruthless, and their nieces dared to force them to sell.
"Is it because your grandmother is forced to die?" Shi Zhugeng knew Granny Huang very well, yes, he asked hurriedly.
"Well, I was anxious to poke myself in the heart with scissors, and those people were scared away. Lai Xiaohua choked up and said.
"Xiaohua, don't cry, don't cry, let's go see your grandmother first, you are so sad, your grandmother will feel uncomfortable when she sees it!" Ding Qinghe took the handkerchief he carried with him, and hurriedly went to help Xiaohua wipe her tears.
When she arrived at Lai Xiaohua's house, Granny Huang sat in place like she was stupid, holding a pair of sharp scissors in her hand.
"Granny Huang, you ...... Look at who I am?" Ding Qinghe saw that Granny Huang didn't seem to know herself, and if it was usual, Granny Huang would call her name.
"You...... Who are you?" Granny Huang looked at Ding Qinghe for a long time, stunned and didn't know who Ding Qinghe was?
"Granny Huang, who is this?" Ding Qinghe was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Lai Xiaohua to Granny Huang and asked Granny Huang who this person is?
But Granny Huang's smile was inexplicable, and it made people feel like she was smirking.
"This ...... "Shi Zhugeng was also anxious, how did this Huang mother-in-law change, why didn't she know herself and Qinghe, and what was even more strange was that she didn't even recognize her own granddaughter.
"Aunt Qinghe, why doesn't my grandmother recognize you, too...... She doesn't recognize me anymore?What's wrong with her?What's wrong?Woo...... "Lai Xiaohua is still young after all, and at this time, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
"She's having amnesia! Hey, it's all your grandfather's relatives!" Ding Qinghe sighed.
"Can the lady heal Granny Huang?" Shi Zhugeng asked eagerly with a worried look in his eyes.
"This is frightened, fortunately, there is no worry about life, but usually, how can Xiaohua take care of Granny Huang alone? Hey, I am really sad!" Lai Xiaohua is only nine years old this year.
Ding Qinghe's worry is also Shi Zhugeng's worry.
"It would be nice if we could build a welfare home here like we do in modern times, to take in the elderly and ......children without parents," Ding Qinghe lamented.
"Lady, what is a welfare home?" For the strange words in Ding Qinghe's mouth, Shi Zhugeng is no longer surprised.
"It's a place created to help some people in need, sick and sick to provide them with food, clothing, accommodation or medical conditions, hey, our family doesn't have that ability today. Ding Qinghe explained.
"Then what should I do now? Granny Huang is like this, it's not easy to take care of Xiaohua. Shi Zhugeng had no idea for a moment.
"Uncle Zhu Geng, Aunt Qinghe, I know you are very smart, and I heard that you have set up a medicinal food shop in the county seat, I ...... Can my milk and I follow you, I ...... I don't want wages, I just want you to give me and my grandmother a mouthful of food!Please!" Lai Xiaohua gritted her teeth, thinking of what happened to her, or worrying that she would be calculated by her grandfather's family next time, she simply made a decision by herself.
Little did she know that her decision had almost changed the fate of her life.
