"That's a good sign." Liu Xingmei said, also excited. Everyone has the right and duty to defend the integrity of a family and to strive to live with hope. She looked at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which was placed in the corner of the cabinet against a clay sculpture, and in a small yellow porcelain incense burner in front of the statue of Guanyin, and in front of the goldfish basin, there were three half-burned incense sticks curling with smoke, and at the same time she couldn't help but doubt her faith.

"Dad, that's good, otherwise this year will be over!" Tao Zhenkun couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Tao Qisheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a bowl of millet soup handed by Liu Xingmei, drank two sips and said: "Today is Xiao Nian'er, after eating, take out my shroud, I want to try whether it fits or not, today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and then we will paste couplets and hang money." ”

"Daddy! This ——? As soon as he heard his father's words, the bowl in Tao Zhenkun's hand almost fell off.

"Father, what are you talking about, how can you say foolish things when you understand people? Isn't your illness much better? Do you see who tried on shrouds? I'm still thinking about it, at a young age, I just prepared a shroud as soon as I got sick, which is unlucky, it's a quack doctor who mistook people! Qiu Lanzhi, who had just felt joy, suddenly felt cold water splashing her head, and her heart convulsed for a while.

Tao Qisheng's words were amazing, which was a bit sensational, which made Liu Xingmei speechless.

Tao Qisheng smiled calmly and said: "You can't force everything, you can only go with the flow!" Wear new clothes and hats, stick pairs and stick money. You look like I'm getting better now, but I know what happened to me, so maybe it's a reflection of the light! For me, time is running out, so let me feel the atmosphere of the New Year earlier! ”

Hearing him say this, the sadness of others soared. For a dying person, this is a wish, how can it not be granted?!

Qiu Lanzhi hid her face and wept.

Tao Qisheng is kind and comforting.

In this way, the Bodhisattva and the goldfish have reduced their credibility in Qiu Lanzhi's heart!

The goldfish swam quickly in the basin, as if trying to break free from the constraints of this small space, and it was hoping for the vastness of the rivers, lakes and seas.

After picking up the plates, dishes and chopsticks, move them down to the table. Liu Xingmei really didn't know what to do for a while, she looked at her mother-in-law as if she was asking for advice and instructions.

Qiu Lanzhi, who was sad, didn't say anything in her choked throat, but just pointed to a cabinet without a lock. The two cabinets were painted with yellow paint, and there were two large color pictures of a dragon and a phoenix. Judging from its old and new, the year will not be far away, presumably from the hands of Tao Qisheng, but it can also reveal a bit of antique atmosphere. As a skilled craftsman, everyone is willing to embellish every part of life with fine carving, making it wonderful and brilliant.

Liu Xingmei understood and moved a round chimney basket on the cabinet in the past, which had been carefully pasted and pasted with flowers, fish and birds cut out of exquisite colored paper. Tao Qisheng and Tao Zhenkun are non-smokers, and they prepared this object to entertain guests, and secondly, this utensil can be used as a decoration. She opened the lid of the cabinet and took out the set of shrouds, hats, shoes and socks, as well as autumn clothes and pants and pants, which were bought ready-made in the city, and cotton clothes and pants and a set of bedding were also made by Qiu Lanzhi herself. Also, she saw a neatly stacked but strange garment in the closet, but she didn't dare to open it to look at it, so she looked at it twice. Regarding the ginseng that Tao Zhenkun said, she had seen it and had already let her father-in-law eat it, because it had not yet grown into a human form, so it was not too rare.

Tao Zhenkun, who was helping on the side, understood her thoughts and said: "You don't know yet, in fact, my mother is of Korean nationality, and it was my mother's wedding dress back then." ”

If you don't say it, Liu Xingmei still doesn't know. I just thought in my heart: there is no difference between Koreans and Han Chinese.

Tao Zhenkun was imagining what his mother would have looked like when she wore her wedding dress.

Liu Xingmei was extremely sad in her heart, her eyes were full of tears, she put her things on the kang, hid her face and stepped out of the threshold, and hid in the outhouse. The father-in-law has to take off and change his clothes, and the daughter-in-law is inconvenienced in front of him. While wiping her tears, she went to fill the stove that had not yet been extinguished, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and boiled paste with white flour in the pot, preparing to paste couplets and hang money.

Her heartache didn't seem to be much lighter than that of the mother and son. Happiness is a kind of mentality, in the past few months of marrying the Tao family, she found that her father-in-law is an amiable person, and her mother-in-law is a reasonable person, and she did not treat her as a foreign surname differently, so she was very pleased. Facing her father-in-law standing on the verge of death is not sad and desperate, but that kind of calm and calm, which makes her sincerely admire. However, in the face of limited life, she can't help it, she can only silently pay compassion in her heart!

Qiu Lanzhi and Tao Zhenkun helped to change Tao Qisheng's clothes inside and out, but they were also very fit, and Tao Qisheng was satisfied.

Qiu Lanzhi couldn't help but burst into tears when her liver and intestines were broken. Tao Zhenkun was also heartbroken, and tears were in his heart.

Tao Qisheng said: "New Year's Day, don't cry, don't let me look unhappy, Xingmei came to our house in the first year, I can accompany you for another New Year, it will be good!" Call Xingmei in! ”

Tao Zhenkun wiped away his tears and shouted to the house: "Meizi! ”

At this time, Liu Xingmei had already made the paste and put half a small bowl. Hearing that he was calling himself, he wiped his eyes and tears and went into the house.

Tao Qisheng asked her: "Xingmei, what do you think of Dad's clothes?" ”

Liu Xingmei looked her father-in-law up and down and said, "It's quite fit, it's just-"

"Just what?"

"It's just that you're wearing it early, in case you don't-"

"I know that the disease is long, and I can feel fresh when I wear it earlier, but if I close my eyes, I won't know anything! It's the New Year, and tomorrow you all put on your clothes, don't let others be depressed because of my illness. ”

All three nodded in agreement.

Tao Qisheng sat cross-legged on the kang and said, "Xingmei, hand me the mirror to take a look." ”

Liu Xingmei turned around and took a small mirror from the cabinet and handed it to her father-in-law with both hands.

Tao Qisheng took the mirror and looked left and right at himself, and said jokingly: "This dress looks like a groom official." ”

In the old days, there were many particularities in making shrouds. The inside of the coat is made of red cloth, which means that future generations will be prosperous. The hat is decorated with a red top, which also symbolizes the prosperity of future generations, and its color is mostly blue and brown.

In Liu Xingmei's opinion, her mother was tailor-made when she made the cotton clothes and pants, not fat or thin, but now when she wears it on her father-in-law's body, it looks a little loose and bone-pulling, and it can be seen that Tao Qisheng is a lot thinner than before. Even if the clothes, hats, shoes and socks are fresh, she is a little timid when she sees it, and she feels panicked. The father-in-law in front of him is like a zombie resurrected.

"What about the bride?" Qiu Lanzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Waiting for me underground!"

"Do you still want to get married?"

"Why not, there is also a need to live there!"

"Nonsense, you are ruthless and unjust!"

"Mother, do you think this dress is better than the one we wore when we got married?"

"No matter how good it is, I don't want you to wear it!"

Tao Qisheng looked at his wife with a smile, and was about to say something, but coughed again and again.

Qiu Lanzhi hurriedly stepped forward, gently slapped his back and stroked his chest.

Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei looked anxious!

Tao Qisheng breathed a sigh of relief, his face turned red, he gasped, and said, "Mother, take out our family heirloom, I have something to say." ”

Qiu Lanzhi was stunned for a moment, then took off a bunch of keys from her waist, handed them to Liu Xingmei, and muttered: "Things that are not worth a few dollars, what is there to show?" It's also a family heirloom! ”

Tao Qisheng said with a sigh: "But after all, it is left by the ancestors!"

Liu Xingmei guessed that it must be the tiger skin! She took the key and went to the cabinet, opened the lock, and saw that some of the neatly arranged things in the cabinet were not valuable, but there was a big pink and white burden, and she thought to herself that this was it.

Tao Zhenkun helped lift the lid of the cabinet and said, "Take it out." ”

Liu Xingmei carefully took it out with both hands, came to the kang to untie the knots tied to the baggage, and saw that the things inside were actually colorful fur, which felt smooth and soft. She pushed it in front of her father-in-law and helped spread the beautiful tiger skin on the kang, and the tiger skin was kept very completely. It can be seen that it is carefully cared for, and it is necessary to know how to preserve fur to do this, otherwise it can be easily damaged.

When Tao Qisheng touched the tiger skin with his trembling hands, he saw that he burst into tears, sighed, and said solemnly to Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei: "We have this thing in our family, and no one in the village knows about it." Maybe it's not a precious thing, but it's left by your grandfather, so it's become a thought that can't be replaced. At that time, the days were poor, and there was nothing of value to pass on, probably because it was chosen. In order to treat me, Xingliu also sold her beloved hairpin! Zhenkun, listen, if you have a life in the future, you have to buy her another one. ”

"Dad, don't worry, I remember." Tao Zhenkun nodded frequently with tears in his eyes.

"Dad, I forgot what you are doing about this." Liu Xingmei said.

"Dad is the most reluctant to owe favors in his life, but I didn't expect it to be - without the hairpin, your head ——?"

Liu Xingmei smiled and said, "Dad, I'm not afraid of your jokes, your son said it looks better." ”

Tao Zhenkun was embarrassed on the side.

Tao Qisheng glanced at his "son", sighed lightly, and then said just now: "In my life, your father is incompetent and has not been able to earn you any solid family foundation, but in terms of dealing with people, he is worthy of his heart." If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can sell it, and it will be worth a few bucks! ”

"Dad!" Qiu Lanzhi said with tears in her eyes: "Don't say this worrying thing, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't buy horses and cattle for your children and grandchildren, they are all poor and have that rich life!" ”

Tao Qisheng looked at the tiger skin, thought for a while, and said with a faint complaint: "Your great-grandfather, that is, my grandfather, died before I could even see it with my own eyes, and I was not born at that time!" According to my father, your grandfather, he was not dead or sick at a young age, and died when he was still alive before he died. ”

He stopped when he said this, and the figure of the old man staggering and jumping off the "cunt-pit" became his heartache recently.
