024 is coming
Before leaving the town, Cheng Zhao'er saw her sister-in-law Lu, who had entered the town together in the morning, coming from afar.
When Lu saw Cheng Zhao'er, his face was not very good, and he didn't know what to say.
Cheng Zhao'er saw her strangeness, and sensitively felt that something seemed to have happened that she didn't know. Then he asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Lu's face was calm, and he said: "I saw Aunt Wu from Heping Village on the street just now, and I got the news that there are many people in Heping Village who went to recruit soldiers last year. Thereinto...... Among them is your big brother. ”
When Cheng Zhaoer heard this, she was also stunned. What's going on, her husband is dead, and now her eldest brother is dead?! Is this the life of the original body too bitter, or she has weakened the original body!
Seeing Cheng Zhao'er's dull eyes, Lu Shi didn't seem to be able to accept this fact, but she hadn't finished her words yet.
After thinking about it, he stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Zhao'er's hand and said, "Sister, it doesn't matter to you." ”
Cheng Zhao'er was caught by her and woke up from her stunned, the Lu family saw that she was awake, and was silent, and finally gritted her teeth and continued: "Sister, you have to be careful of your own body, you are not very old, and there are still long days to live...... Just...... Aunt Wu also said that when she came out this morning, she seemed to see your people from Yehe Village, and Aunt Wu's maiden niece and nephew also married into Yehe Village, and this time Aunt Wu saw her niece and son-in-law! They...... I also went back with the news. Do you want to go back and see, didn't you say that your family also went to conscription. ”
Actually, the Lu family already knew the news, and it was said that no one in Yehe Village came back alive this time, but she couldn't say it.
Cheng Zhao'er knows that she can't go back to her parents' house today, today, Geng Yiyuan's news must have come back, if she doesn't return for a long time, I'm afraid it won't look good, besides, the original parents just got the news that their son died in battle, if the son-in-law also goes like this, accept two bad news at once, I'm afraid I can't stand it, not to mention, there is also the news of her reconciliation, if you talk to them now, it will undoubtedly be worse, it is better to slow it down.
So, she nodded, took out three strings of money from her pocket, took Lu's hand, put it on her hand and said: "Sister-in-law, since this is the case, I must go back to Yehe Village first, the eldest brother went, and my father and mother didn't know how to be sad, but I can't leave, I have a little money, you take it back and hand it to my father and mother first, and when I go back to my husband's house to see, I will go back to see them when I have time." Let them not worry about me, I'm fine! ”
Lu nodded, now it can only be like this, it is not bad that a married daughter can still think about her mother's family like this. She secretly thought to herself, and when she turned around, she still asked her mother-in-law to find Cheng Zhao'er's mother-in-law, Li, and gave it behind her back, otherwise, the woman might not be able to make trouble.
After Cheng Zhaoer said goodbye to the Lu family, he found an ox cart and sent him back.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that the atmosphere in the village was wrong, and the people working in the fields were gone, and the children playing were gone. Cheng Zhaoer knew that the news was probably coming down.
When she was about to arrive at the door of the house, she limped, first to Zhao's house, and stood at the door shouting: "Auntie...... Auntie! ”
When Aunt Zhao heard the voice, she came out in a hurry, and when she saw Cheng Zhao'er, she wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Zhao'er, you're back." Da Lang can't come back. ”
When Cheng Zhao'er heard it, although she didn't know Geng Yiyuan, she was a little sour. I don't know if it's the original body's feelings, or if she herself feels it.
Geng Yiyuan was only twenty years old, so he stayed on the battlefield. It didn't even have time to look at his daughter.
Cheng Zhao'er heard the exact news from Aunt Zhao, and went back as if she had lost her soul. Any woman who knows that her husband is dead will not feel nothing, even if she doesn't know Geng Yiyuan, she can also know that since ancient times, the person who can become her in the future is gone.
On this day, the people who went to the county seat to inquire about the news came back and determined that Yehe Village had not survived this time, and even the bones of these people could not be found.
There was a lot of mourning in the village. Many people have worn filial piety, and the village chief's face is also very bad, although their Yehe Village is a big village, but it is still very heart-wrenching to lose so many strong laborers at once, not to mention the children of the Wang family.
Cheng Zhao'er took out the remaining more than 100 yuan, and asked Wang to help her buy the items that Dai Xiao needed. At this time, I don't care about whether it is suitable or anything, there are too many dead sons in the village, and most of them are helped by the village neighbors and clansmen. It's just that although this silver money is not much, it is also a lot, and Cheng Zhaoer said that this silver money was given by her father. After all, she went to town as an excuse to go back to her parents' house.
He also told everyone that because her eldest brother also lost his life in this war, her father and mother had no time to come here. just took more than 100 yuan to send his son-in-law on his last journey.
Everyone expressed their understanding, after all, whose son died and was the eldest son, who could take care of the others. Being able to bring money means that you like this girl.
After all, the daughter who got married spilled the water!
Geng Yiyuan's eldest grandfather and second grandfather's family came, and they also helped to set up the mourning hall and hold the funeral, knowing that Cheng Zhaoer would not have any money, and the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather's family also contributed a lot of money.
In short, after being busy, Geng Yiyuan's mourning hall is still quite decent, and it can be regarded as the last summary and prayer for his life. Yuanyuan is the same as Cheng Zhaoer, a body of filial piety, the white cloth wraps her like a white ball, these days, Cheng Zhaoer has carried her on her back and knelt in the mourning hall to burn paper, Yuanyuan is very well-behaved, curled up on her mother's back without crying or making trouble, as if she knew that crying at this time would be more tired.
Zhang's crying in front of outsiders shook the sky, but it was a pity that all the goods and money were not out, and the crying was also dry thunder and no rain, and he didn't know how happy he was to eat or sleep when he carried people. Zhou Xingwang and Liu were even more heartless, even in front of people, they didn't see a single tear from them. Cheng Zhaoer ignored Zhou Xingwang and his wife at all, these two are things that Siliu doesn't understand, and being angry with them is equivalent to being angry in vain. It's just that when she saw Zhang's like that, she only felt disgusting in her stomach, and she couldn't imagine that there was such a character in a small farmer's family. It's a pity that she wasn't born in the mansion.
The mourning hall was left at home for three days before it ended. Yuanyuan is still young, that is, Cheng Zhaoer is holding a small wooden box instead of Yuanyuan, these dead sons and daughters have no bones, and the land of war is mostly broken limbs and wreckage, where can you tell who is who? Inside the box are some of the objects they have used in their lives, that is, to set up a mound of clothes.
Village Chief Wang gritted his teeth this time, bleed, and invited the more famous wizards here to summon the souls of these soldiers, hoping that they would be able to return to their hometown and rest in peace.
Geng Yiyuan's mound was finally erected in the ancestral tomb of the Geng family. His tablet was also placed in the ancestral hall of the Geng family.
Yuanyuan seemed to have a sudden sense, and suddenly cried, crying heartbreakingly, and his whole body became red because of the force, and he couldn't coax it. Many of the villagers who came to see her off together cried, and Aunt Zhao cried: "Yuanyuan, this is the last ride for her father." ”
Cheng Zhao'er's eyes turned red again, she really didn't know how she became so sentimental, she had cried enough in the past few days, obviously she didn't know this man at all.
Looking at the paper money flying on the ground and the tombstone that was still brand new, she murmured silently: "Geng Yiyuan, in the next life, I hope you will be reincarnated into a good family, without war, hunger and cold, and without pain......
The funeral was over, but for Yehe Village, for a long time in the future, the atmosphere in the village was very low, and the day after the funeral, Cheng Zhaoer and the matter of leaving were put on the agenda again.
Cheng Zhao'er is very calm about this matter, the Zhang family has already torn off her disguise, and now that Geng Yiyuan is dead, how can she still keep her here to hinder her eyes.
However, the day after the funeral, the village chief came to the courtyard of the Geng family again, and when he was about to discuss the matter again, the courtyard of the Geng family ushered in an unexpected person.
Cheng Zhaoer's father Cheng Changqing is here!
The moment Cheng Changqing appeared, Cheng Zhaoer's memory surged back to the picture of his young and strong father playing with him and loving him. In an instant, the voice rushed through the somewhat choked and clogged throat, and blurted out: "Dad! ”
Cheng Changqing came, and after his eldest son Cheng Rongrui was buried, he came non-stop. He heard from the Wu family that all the sons and daughters who went out of Yehe Village had not survived, and where could he still sit still.
Since the beginning of this year, because the family is very poor, it is not good to marry a daughter-in-law, and because he is ashamed of his daughter, he doesn't want to cause trouble to his daughter, so he has not walked around with his daughter's in-laws. However, this does not mean that he does not care about the lives of his two daughters, and now that he knows the news, and the eldest son is gone, he spurts out a mouthful of blood on the spot. What about his daughter?
So, he suppressed the grief of his dead son, regardless of his physical discomfort, and came over. Unexpectedly, he came by coincidence, and just heard the news that he was going to leave his daughter.
Cheng Changqing only felt that the whole person was not good, Cheng Zhao'er was afraid that what he said would not match the reason she had made up before, so he kept holding his hand and not letting him speak.
However, Cheng Changqing is not in good health now, and he has lost a lot of weight, but he is tall and very strong, although he is not as good as before, but just standing there is also a little momentum. Therefore, even Zhang's swaggering energy when he spoke seemed to be a little smaller.
Village Chief Wang was not afraid of Cheng Changqing, he felt that it would be better to solve it in this way, Cheng Zhao'er's father was here, and the Zhang family estimated that if he wanted to make trouble, he would have to weigh it a little. It's more beneficial for him.
