Text Chapter 013 Ancestors will eat again after eating

Li Yu told a lie to Pan, a white lie. He really didn't want to see Pan's crying out for the sky. As soon as he came to the Tang world, he squatted in prison and waited for death, he knew what it was like to wait for death, if he told Pan the truth, he felt that it was really better not to appear again, and let her treat her son as if he had died, so how could a year heal most of her wounds.

So, he told Pan that because he was doing his filial piety, the emperor pardoned his sins. The three outlines and five constants, the road of humanity, are the basic morals that the imperial court attaches the most importance to maintaining social stability, as can be seen from the ship boss Liu Yuntao scolded his grandfather without any words, and was sentenced to hanging.

Since ancient times, most of those who have committed crimes because of filial piety have also received commutation or direct pardon, and he has indeed come back alive, so Pan naturally believed his son's words.

"With the speed of information transmission in this era, it should be a long time before the old lady learns the truth. Until then, I could already do a lot of things, maybe I'd made a lot of money and could run away with her! ”

Li Yu secretly thought that what he originally wanted was to settle down the Pan family, so that she would have no worries about life in the second half of her life, so she ran away, but when he came to Lizhou, he understood that he wanted to make the Pan family worry-free in the second half of his life, and only let her son live well, which was the source of her happiness.

And the fusion of Li Yu's own memories, coupled with Pan's unjustified and unrepentant love for his son, made him naturally recognize this mother.

Pan Shi was overjoyed, and when he untied the straw rope that tied the door, his hands kept trembling, and it took him a long time to open the door. There are not many valuable objects in the house, and it is not too much to say that it is a house with four walls.

As soon as you enter, there is a partitioned hall, with a dining table, a stove by the door, the door curtain is lifted and entered, a pit is laid on the right hand, and a row of low cabinets and tables on the left hand, the most complete and bright piece of furniture in the house looks like a tribute table on the top of the room against the wall.

On the tribute table is the spiritual seat of the Li family's father and ancestor, and Li Laoshi's spiritual seat is also on it, including Li Yu's. In front of the altar is a pottery incense burner. When Pan Shi entered the room, the first thing he did was to quickly grab the offering table and remove Li Yu's spiritual position.

"My son is not dead, and this spiritual position cannot be offered. Oops, this has been offered for many days, what a long life! Pan said reproachfully, while picking up the kitchen knife and scraping the name that Mr. Please wrote on it with a brush.

Li Yu looked at the appearance of the room, which was both familiar and a little unfamiliar, and the memory needed to be constantly retrieved. He remembered that his room was next door, and the Li family was not bad at the beginning, and once they entered the three-room house, after the three rooms were built, there were still some materials left, and a narrow leather warehouse was built at the head of the house.

Pan shaved the words on the spiritual seat, found a kitchen knife, and split the spirit card into firewood, which was then steady, as if she had completed this step, and her son really came back.

Pan returned to the tribute table with joy and bowed with his hands together, muttering in his mouth: "Ancestors and ancestors, Xiaoyuer is back, the Li family's incense is still burning, thank you ancestors and ancestors!" ”

After Pan finished speaking, he turned his head and saw that his son was still looking around, so he hurriedly went over and pulled him closer, and said eagerly: "Quick! Quickly kowtow to your ancestors and fathers and thank you! Ouch, wait! ”

As if Pan suddenly remembered something, he turned around and said to Li Yu: "Son, wait." You come back alive, this is a big deal, you have to offer! ”

Pan said, reached into the skirt, and pulled out the oiled paper wrap from the waistband of his trousers, a thing hidden tightly on his body. Pan Shi put the thing on the table, touched it to the other side, took out another thing, tied the skirt, and happily opened the layers of oiled paper, and it was two braised pig ears and a large piece of pork head meat in sauce.

Li Yu was dumbfounded, but Pan Shi didn't care, and hurriedly went to the outer room to get two pottery plates, put the meat in front of the incense table, and said to Li Yu: "What do you see, my mother came out of the governor's mansion, look at you like this, I haven't seen you eat less before." ”

After the Pan lady set up the incense case, she urged her son to kneel down quickly and kowtow to the ancestors, including his dead father Li Laoshi.

Looking at the earnest gaze of Pan's lady, Li Yu obediently knelt down, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently, no one else knew what he said. When he opened his eyes again, the sound of scooping water was already ringing in the outer room, and Li Yu still smelled the smell of burning firewood at the end of his nose.

Pan's lady boiled the water, and she was busy inside and out, but her mouth was not idle.

Pan's lady rummaged through the bottom of the cabinet to find her son's clothes, and told him that after her son left her, the clothes were not willing to be proper, except for burning a few pieces for him on September 9, and leaving two sets for a memory. Speaking of which, Mrs. Pan slapped herself in distress, but she regretted the burned clothes.

Then, Pan's lady rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the futon and told Li Yu that the house next door was rented out. The house over there was originally intended to be used by the son to marry his daughter-in-law in the future, but after thinking that the son had died, he had to rent it out, and now the lease period has not yet arrived, so he has to wronged his son and share a room with his mother first.

Then, Pan's lady brought a large wooden basin, filled it with boiling hot boiling water and brought it into the house, and then brought in a wooden bucket of cold water, and waited for her son to take a bath.

Li Yu was startled, his face was red and he had to wash it himself, Pan's lady couldn't resist him, so she had to tell him to wash it clean, and wipe his back with a towel, while walking out with a smile, saying that his son was really old and knew that he was ashamed.

When this old lady who likes to chatter but coaxes her son's precious eyes out, and the door curtain is lowered, Li Yu breathes a sigh of relief. Sniffing his body, the months of prison life have been rancid, and it is really time to take a bath, Li Yu took off the beggar suit and washed it carefully.

The clean water in the middle ran out, and the Pan lady changed the water to put it outside the door curtain according to her son's instructions.

When Li Yu came out of the bath, Pan's lady had already cooked the porridge, and she didn't know where to get two Hu cakes. The pig's head meat and pork blossoms were also thanked by the ancestors, and then they were cut and served on the table, and placed together with the two pickles.

"Mother, this ...... It's not easy to eat what is offered to the ancestors, is it? ”

"Hey! The ancestors have all enjoyed it, you eat, you eat, if you eat, the ancestors of the old Li family will definitely have no temper! ”

As she spoke, Pan's lady smiled and kept putting meat into her son's bowl, only an hour of effort, seeing her radiant, the spirit emanating from her bones, was like the situation when she came home in the afternoon.

Seeing that Pan's lady just gave him meat, and finally simply brought the whole pottery dish to him, Li Yu was a little uneasy: "Mother, why don't you eat it?" ”

Pan's lady watched her son eat with a smile, and waved her hand: "Hey! My mother is so fat, what else to eat, my mother loses weight! ”

Li Yu was suffocated, and said with a smile: "Mother, our Tang people are so plump, what kind of fat are you losing weight!" ”

Pan's lady glanced at him diligently, and said, "You are talking about plumpness, mother, this is fat, not the same thing!" Stop talking nonsense, eat it! ”

Li Yu lowered his head, silently drank the porridge, raised his head, and looked at Pan's lady seriously, her eyes shining: "Mother! Don't worry, I will definitely make a lot of money and let my mother live a good life! ”

"Huh! That is, my fish, must be a good one! ”

Pan's lady's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but put her hands together again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bodhisattva, my son, come back alive~"

After dinner, Li Yu, who was forced by his mother to swallow all the pig's head meat and pork, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help his mother wash the bowl, but was bombarded out by Pan's lady in a fuss: "Go and go, walk and eat in the courtyard, how can there be a big man doing housework, it is so useless!" ”

As a result, Li Yu, who will definitely have a future, was driven out by Pan Niangzi, who wanted her son to become a Chan. Li Yu stepped out of the door and saw a girl enter the door next door.

Dressed in a green shirt, with a slender waist, his posture is indescribably slender. Just a moment's notice, a taste called handsome drifted into Li Yu's heart. Hey? Look at that side face, it's a little familiar! Li Yu suddenly thought of the Wenjun girl he had seen in the alleys of Lizhou.
