The customs of the hometown, whether it is a marriage or a funeral, are all to be carried out in a big way.

The funeral was not to be lively, but many people came to see it.

The days are dull and dull, and the slightest wind and grass can stimulate their senses.

The funeral people cried sadly, but the people who watched the excitement had smiles on their faces.

This stark contrast really makes Parsley sigh.

But she doesn't have the right to blame others, it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps, after all, she also came to see the fun.

"Eh, Shoko, you're here too!" Hong Cheng saw Duan Xiang's figure at a glance in the crowd, and Duan Xiang's figure was eye-catching even if he was placed in the sea of people.

Seeing Hong Cheng and Parsley, Duan Xiang was a little surprised, "You two ran so far to see the blowing." ”

"No, I just came out of my Aizhizi's house." "I didn't hear a noise, so I ran over and looked." ”

Duan Xiang sighed irritably and said, "There's nothing to look at!" ”

Xiangqin sensed that something was wrong with Duan Xiang, and immediately took it seriously, "Uncle Xiangzi, what's wrong?" ”

Duan Xiang said: "I didn't do anything. After a moment of silence, he added, "Honghong is sold." ”

"Honghong was ......" Xiangqin was taken aback, she remembered that Duan Hong's little girl was not yet ten years old, why would she be sold?

Hong Cheng also got up, "What's the matter?" ”

Duan Xiang kept them away from the crowd, looking at Duan Hong's house from a distance, and could faintly hear the mournful cries coming from Duan Hong's house.

However, the crying was dry. But the voice was very loud. As the so-called thunder is heavy and rain is small, I believe that there are few people in Duan Hong's family who are really in tears now.

Duan Xiang shook his head helplessly, and explained to Hong Cheng and Xiangqin: "You don't see how lively they are in this matter. How can Duan Hong's family afford to hire this team, it is all the money that others paid for them. It seems that there is a person surnamed Du, and people made it very clear to Duan Hong and her father, he took care of Duan Hong's grandfather's affairs, and left some money for their family, so he took Duan Hong away directly. ”

Selling his daughter to bury her father, Duan Hong's father is really capable!

It's not just about making your scalp tingle. It's even more outrageous!

Because Duan Hong's experience was very similar to her, Xiangqin couldn't help but feel deep sympathy and pity for her.

Duan Xiang said again: "You didn't come yesterday. Duan Hong was crying when she was dragged away, it was useless to beg her father to call her mother, Lan Lan pulled Honghong and didn't let her go! ”

Hong Cheng wanted to be indignant, but he felt more helplessness.

"My own father and mother are so ruthless and unrighteous. It was not interesting for the little girl to stay, as long as a good family took her in. After speaking, Hong Cheng glanced at Xiangqin, who had a gloomy face, and suddenly turned the topic to her, "If I had met Xiangqin earlier, I would have done the same thing as that surnamed Du." ”

Parsley was stunned and looked up at him.

Hong Cheng's smile was warmer than the afternoon sun, and his gentle gaze was like a fluctuating wheat wave, which seemed to be able to exude fragrance.

Xiangqin suddenly felt that she had not been reborn before, and it seemed that she had mistaken Hong Cheng and misunderstood. She always thought that Hong Cheng was the kind of selfish person, and always thought that everything he thought about was either himself or his hotel. Maybe Hong Cheng didn't deceive her at that time, he really wanted to get her out of the Li family's misery. It's just the way he does it. It's disgusting.

Parsley sighed, "Why is it that our girls' family has encountered such a thing, are our female dolls so worthless!" ”

"It's not that you female dolls aren't valuable, that's how society is." Hong Cheng also sighed a little.

Especially the older generation, the idea of patriarchy is particularly strict. Boys can do heavy work, and girls can do no less work than boys. However, the status of girls in a rural family has not changed. If you like whoever does more work, you like whomever you want. That parsley used to be in the Li family, but it was not to be spoiled to heaven, but what is the truth?

Duan Xiang expressed his views. "I want to have a son when I get married in the future, but it's not that I prefer sons over daughters, and if I raise a girl, I will marry someone in the future, and the girl who marries out is someone else's, and raising a girl by myself seems to be for someone else, it's not cost-effective!"

Xiangqin squinted at him and sneered, "To be able to say such a thing, and to say that he is not patriarchal!" ”

Duan Xiang said in a rough voice, looking particularly straightforward, "Look at my sister, since she got married, she has never been home. My dad didn't raise her for nothing! ”

"Men can join women's homes!" Parsley remembered that there was such a thing.

As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Cheng was terrified. "Parsley, you can't think like that!"

Duan Xiang seized the opportunity to joke with him: "Then let Hong Cheng go to your place in the future!" ”

"I'm not going to get into her right now!" Hong Cheng grimaced bitterly.

He now eats parsley and lives in parsley, and it seems that it is really no different from entering the parsley.

"Let's go, come and sit at my house for a while." Duan Xiang greeted.

"No, I'll have to go back to cooking." Parsley excused.

"If you don't do it, don't do it, just leave it at my house to eat!" Duan Xiang took them to his home, "Our bean sprouts can't be sold, so you should help us eat a little." ”

Duan Xiang's bean sprouts business was originally intended to supply Hongcheng's hotel every month. Now the shortcut to the city is completely blocked, cutting off the delivery route.

Hong Cheng told Duan Xiang early that he would wait until the road was clear, and then continue to trade bean sprouts with their family.

"I won't leave your family to eat, and we'll take a little bit of the bean sprouts from your family."

"Okay."

When Duan Xiang entered the house, he went to the bean sprouts rice and packed a bag of bean sprouts for parsley.

Handing the bean sprouts to Parsley, Duan Xiang remembered one thing, "Parsley, your mother is back, do you know?" ”

"I don't know." Parsley was at a loss, no one had really told her about this before. She met Duan Wen here, but Duan Wen didn't mention it to her.

Duan Wen saw that Xiangqin and Hong Cheng were walking together, probably because he didn't like it, and he was unhappy in his heart, as if he didn't want to say a word to Xiangqin.

Xiangqin didn't know if she should be happy, Duan Qiuping was persuaded by Cheng's grandmother to go to the church. Before that, Duan Qiuping and Duan Wen broke up, and at this time, Duan Wen could still let her come back, so it seems that Duan Qiuping has indeed grown.

Not only that, the blower outside for the funeral, so lively that Duan Qiuping didn't show his face, shouldn't he say "rare".

Parsley held the bean sprouts, thought about it and thought about it, and decided to ask Duan Xiang.

"How is my mother now?"

Duan Xiang was really hard to answer, and if he wanted to use one word to describe Duan Qiuping's words, he thought hard and meditated to find a word, "God is chattering." ”

"God babbling?" Parsley was stunned.

To say that Duan Qiuping was also a god chattering before, what does Duan Xiang mean by this "god chatter"?

"After Grandma Cheng brought your mother back, she stayed at home all day long, and she didn't go out."

Parsley couldn't help but be disappointed, "That's not the same as before." ”

"It's a little different, she now has words in her mouth every day, and Grandma Cheng said she was praying." Duan Xiang has seen it with his own eyes-

Duan Qiuping hugged her hands, her forehead against her fingers, lying on the side of the bed, her mouth muttering, like chanting scriptures and like chanting a mantra, it sounded like an urn, and she didn't know what she was praying for.

Hong Cheng didn't have hope for Duan Qiuping's person in the first place, anyway, as long as Duan Qiuping didn't come to provoke them.

All he could say was: "There is progress, there is progress." You can't just look at her and learn it all at once, just take your time. ”

It was indeed the same as Hong Cheng said, and Parsley couldn't help but nod in agreement.

At this time, Duan Wu poked out of the kitchen, in fact, he had already heard what they were saying in the yard. He couldn't help but come out and join in the fun.

Duan Wu sighed heavily and said to Xiangqin, "It's not that you don't know your grandfather's temper, he can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes. No matter how much progress your mother makes, in the eyes of your grandfather, she is still not spherical! ”

Duan Xiang was helpless, "No way, if my uncle didn't have that temper, he wouldn't be able to cure my aunt and Sister Qiuping at all." ”

Parsley smiled hard, feeling very uncomfortable.

Was she wrong? Is she to blame for everything?

Why is Duan Qiuping such a person, and why does the Dou family look at her unpleasantly?

She sighed faintly, "I remember when I first came here, my mother and my grandmother were not like that. ”

"One monk has water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink." Duan Xiang said, "When you can carry water to drink, they drink your water, and their hearts are still upset. Why, because your diligence has made them too lazy! In fact, they themselves know in their hearts how useless they are, and they don't want to admit it, so they just rely on you. ”

Hong Cheng snorted, "Now that I have a daughter at home, don't you just want to sell it for a good price when the time comes." They can't hold the parsley, and they can't get any benefit from me, but they just want to show us faces. If we give them the money, see which of them will be good to us. ”

Xiangqin smiled bitterly, didn't the Li family and the Duan family just want to get a dowry from Hong Cheng. The dowry is equivalent to the price of parsley.

She shook her head slightly, thinking to herself that if she wasn't independent, she didn't know whose fate was in her hands.

Xiangqin didn't want to go to the small courtyard or the south courtyard, but fortunately, she should be able to talk to Duan Yongyuan now, and when she returned to the crossroads, she could ask Duan Yongyuan to go.

This brave son is also really, Duan Qiuping went back, he didn't even say a word to Xiangqin.

Xiangqin and Hong Cheng said hello to Duan Wu and Duan Xiang, and left. They returned the way they came, deliberately not passing through the South Courtyard. (To be continued)
