When I woke up, I was already in my own house, and it was my father who came to the mourning hall in the morning, saw me lying on the threshold, and carried me home.

The old man passed away like this, and his father and they held a grand funeral for him. Although he left suddenly, the people of the village came to see him off. He has a very high status in the village, and he usually holds funerals for others, but this time it is his turn, but no one holds a ceremony for him anymore.

However, his soul has already returned to the underworld, and even if he does the rituals, it is useless. He suffered in the underworld, and although the ghost father also went, he didn't know if he could save the old man.

Only I know about this, and I don't dare to tell my parents, they are ordinary people, and even if they knew, they could only do something in a hurry. Rather than worrying about them, I'd rather suffer it alone.

I was young, but I knew what to say and what not to say. Besides, if I really say this kind of thing, I am afraid that adults will think that I am talking nonsense, and maybe people will be regarded as crazy.

Brother Xiao Yi and Uncle Xiao fell asleep during the first day of the vigil, and when they woke up, it was almost dawn. Although they felt a little inexplicable, they didn't dig deeper, only that they were too tired and dozed off in the mourning hall.

The old man stayed at home for three days, and his sons had five other sons besides my uncle, who was my ghost father. They all live in Gejia Village, they are all married, and they have children, so the old man can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren. At least it won't be left unattended for him.

His tomb was built on the back hill, not far from the old house, and it was the acupuncture point he had found before his death, and the coffin was also prepared before.

We have a custom that the old people in the village will prepare their coffins in advance, so as not to be prepared for accidents. The old man is no exception, not to mention that he himself understands these things and prepares earlier. Feng Shui is not good or bad, according to his own words, he has done too many things to offend ghosts and gods in his life, and it is enough to have a resting place after death.

After the old man was buried, I felt that the house was empty, and when he was there, he often came to our house, and always liked to sit in the yard and smoke dry tobacco and bask in the sun.

I always pestered him to ask this and that, and I was very interested in his affairs, especially those ghost catching experiences, and I always found those paintings and legends attractive.

But he didn't seem to want me to get involved in his business, and always said that girls should learn needlework well, marry well, and have a good husband and children in the future. Sometimes I'm annoyed by it, so I take some interesting stories about the mountains to pass me.

Under his influence, I learned the same needlework as my mother, but I didn't learn much about him. However, I have learned a lot about some taboos in the arts, which has also caused me to be more careful in my actions in the future, but this is a later story.

Before the old man died, he told his father that he was going to find someone who was married to me, and three months after the old man's funeral, my father remembered this and hurriedly went to find it with my uncle.

But just the birth date of someone's family, but there is no name or surname, where can you find it! They inquired all over the 100 miles of Fangyuan in Gejia Village, but they didn't have a clue. Time passed bit by bit, and the father even wanted to give up.

Fortunately, during this time, I was no longer sick, I did not have a high fever, and it seems that after having the small purse given to me by the old man, my physical condition is much better.

My mother was also very happy about this, and felt that I had finally stopped frightening her, and immediately found me some things to make me fatter. It's just that at that time, the family didn't have much money, and all I could find was mountain goods produced in the mountains.

Despite this, I still gained a lot of weight, and the fat bear even teased me for being like him, and I was going to be a "little chubby girl".

I also showed my mother about the little purse, and she said she didn't embroider it. I think too, such a crappy stitch, even mine is not as good as mine, how could it come from the hand of my mother's well-known needlework in the village, it must have been embroidered by the old man himself.

I was very moved to think that he could embroider this thing as an old man. I don't know what's in it, I just feel warm. The seal was embroidered, just a small square bag, and I didn't open it, but just carried it close to me, and I never left the small purse.

Soon after, my father and the others finally found the person on the eight characters, and he was ten miles away from Luo Hongxuan of Luojia Village, who was my future husband. Luo Hongxuan is an orphan, there are no elders in the family, and when his father and uncle brought a matchmaker to the door to ask for marriage, he was also taken aback.

However, I don't know what agreement my father made with him, but he still agreed to the family affair. It's just that because I'm still young, I made this family affair first, and discussed staying until five years later before getting married.

My family affairs were solved like this. At that time, although I was young, I also knew what it was like to get engaged. The little sisters in the village also made fun of me for a long time, saying that I was engaged to a baby, and for this reason, I went to quarrel with my mother to tell my father to cancel the marriage.

However, where are they willing to listen, this is a family affair to save my life, not to mention that this is the old man's deathbed order, they dare not disobey. This qiē seems to be destined in the dark.

Half a year after the old man's death, I gradually got out of my grief and returned to the carefree and heartless way I used to be. To say, how can you say that children are forgetful!

But the days of girlhood were short for me, and five years passed in a flash. During this period, Xiaoyi Brother has married and had children, and began to take on the livelihood of the family.

Luo Hongxuan came to my house as agreed, he brought a matchmaker, and when he came, the children in the village followed me all the way to my house, as if they had come to the troupe. Although I was only 15 years old at this time, children in the countryside generally got married early, and at the age of 15 they were already big girls.

Luo Hongxuan brought a dowry of only two pigs, three sheep, and a few chickens, he was an orphan, his family was very poor, and he only lived by hunting and selling mountain goods. Of course, my parents didn't care about his shabby dowry.

They only hope that they can marry me off sooner, because by this time, my health has deteriorated, and I am often bedridden. The little purse that the old man gave me was no longer and more unable to suppress the cold in my body.

Although Luo Hongxuan's dowry was shabby, the dowry that my mother bought for me was not chilling at all. She always felt that because of her body, she had suffered me since I was a child.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the customs of newlyweds getting married, the most typical wedding customs are "divorce from the mother's meat, send spring tea, send toilets, accompany silk quilts, raw noodles, call parents, press bed boards, and make holes".

My mother took the money she had saved over the years and let me marry in a beautiful way according to custom. Of course, Luo Hongxuan doesn't have a parent, so he naturally has a lot of fewer programs.
