Chapter 2 Attempts
Kang Yan didn't get up, she still knelt on the mat, as a filial daughter, she wanted to bow down to everyone who came to mourn, she put away the sneer on her lips, lowered her head, and let the sadness in her heart spread, no matter what, the parents who really loved her for many years were lying on the bed in front of her, let yourself mourn them for the last time, and she would be strong to maintain this family in the future.

The crying outside continued for a while before someone opened the white flag and came in, Uncle Zhao walked in front with red eyes, came in and said, "Girl, the eldest uncle and the third uncle of the family have come to mourn." ”
The so-called eldest uncle and third uncle of the family are the cousins and cousins of Kang Yan's father, Kang Yan's father is named Kang Zhixun, Kang Zhixun's father has three brothers, his father is the eldest, only Kang Zhixun is a single seedling, the eldest uncle and the third uncle who came this time are the eldest and second sons of the second old lady's family, Kang Zhixun is the second in the Kang family, and the third old lady of the Kang family has three sons, and they have not yet arrived, but Kang Yan estimates that they should arrive soon.
Kang Yan didn't look up, looked down at a few pairs of plain shoes to her, sighed in her heart that they were polite, she bowed her head and bowed, and shouted, "Uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt"
A pair of slightly rough hands stepped forward to help her up, "Poor child, the second brother and sister are still so young, and they are going at this time." ”
Kang Yan raised her head and saw Uncle Kang's wife, Liu, who was six years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, slightly chubby, with thin eyebrows and a round face, and slightly red eyes, she wiped the invisible tears with a handkerchief, took Kang Yan's hand, and said: "Good boy, don't be afraid, follow the eldest aunt in the future, but if there is an aunt to eat, the aunt will not let you starve." ”
Pan, the wife of Uncle Kang who came in later, was slender and long, with a melon seed face, narrow eyes, and a thin face with a slightly pointed chin, as soon as she came in and heard Liu's words, she pursed her lips slightly, with a sarcastic expression on her face, "Oh, sister-in-law really loves Yan'er, how can the family property left by the second brother and sister-in-law make Yan'er hungry, what the sister-in-law actually wants to say is that as long as Yan'er eats, there will be a sister-in-law, right?" ”
Liu's face was slightly angry, and he was about to reply sarcastically, when he heard her husband snort heavily, remembering her husband's entrustment before coming, she held back her anger and didn't attack at the moment
Uncle Kang said with a calm face: "Third brother, take care of your daughter-in-law, the second brother and younger brother and sister are not cold, how can you say such a thing, this means that we Xiao thinks about the second brother's family property?" Joke, how can I do such a thing. ”
Uncle Kang is the only talent in Kangjia Village, and he was also a very beautiful figure in Kangjia Village when he was a talent in the middle of the year, but unfortunately he never went further, but Uncle Kang did not give up, he has been studying hard and pinning his hopes on his two sons.
Uncle Kang's face was also a little unsightly, and he glanced at Pan, who looked a little sad and stopped talking.
Uncle Kang San is a smart camper, quite scheming, he said with a sad face: "Sister-in-law also pities Yan'er for losing the protection of her parents at a young age, what the eldest brother said is also reasonable, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the aftermath of the second brother and the second sister-in-law, how can Yan'er, a little girl's family, come forward, this matter depends on the eldest brother." ”
Uncle Kang felt useful, his face softened slightly, nodded and said, "That's natural." ”
Kang Yan, who had been watching coldly, saw that they had come to a conclusion before stepping forward and said: "Yan'er thanks to the pity of her uncle, aunt and uncle, and aunt, the aftermath of her parents depends on her uncle, who is a person who reads and understands etiquette, and Yan'er has only one request, be sure to make the posthumous affairs of her parents grand, and Yan'er will be responsible for all expenses." ”
Uncle Kang still felt a little pity for this niece, and said in a gentle tone: "Good boy, don't worry, your brother and sister-in-law will be here tomorrow, you just follow your brother and sister-in-law to keep the spirit, and your uncle and grandfather also said that they will not let you be wronged in the future." ”
Kang Yan was noncommittal about this, but she was still grateful, paused, and said: "Several elders are in a hurry, they must be tired, go to the west wing room to rest for a while, and later Uncle Kang will bring the clothes to the uncle and uncle." ”
They are all relatives of their own family, and according to the etiquette, they should serve their parents a lot, and what Kang Yan is going to say next does not want to say in front of her parents, in Kang Yan's thoughts, they must not have gone far, and they are still protecting themselves around, so she doesn't want to let some trivial things defile her parents.
When they arrived in the west room, after Kang Yan waited for them to sit down, Fang said: "Some time ago, my father invested a lot of silver money in the shop, and my parents were in a hurry, and now there are only more than five hundred taels of silver at home, and my niece is willing to use all this money to send her parents, which can be regarded as filial piety." ”
As soon as the words fell, Uncle Kang was fine, because he had always advertised that he was famous and a scholar, how could he be contaminated with copper smells, so he didn't have a strong concept of money itself, but Liu and Pan were different, and the two of them listened to the meaning of Kang Yan's words, that is, they wanted to use all the more than 100 taels of silver for funerals, and they both felt that it hurt when they thought about it.
Nowadays, the average person with silver money sells more than a dozen taels of silver a year, tsk, more than five hundred taels, that is enough for his family to spend nearly ten years, and with these silver, the house can also be built, more importantly, there is no heir in the second room, and he must have a stepson to send him to the end, if his younger son is a step, then this money is his own family, the more Liu thinks about it, the more distressed he feels, as if the more than five hundred taels of silver have become his own, and now she wants to return it completely.
Pan's idea is different, she and Uncle Kang are both people who love to take advantage of small advantages and are good at drilling, usually eager to break a penny into two petals, at this time I heard that Kang Yan wants to use all the more than five hundred taels of silver in the family to do things, the intuition is distressed, Pan knows that according to the custom, it must be the youngest son of the old family to the second room, it should not be their turn, so she soon began to think about how to make some benefits in this matter.
Uncle Kang looked at Kang Yan twice, and secretly wondered in his heart about the authenticity of Kang Yan's words, he is not a conceited and high-minded person like Uncle Kang, he often mixes outside on weekdays, and his heart and eyes turn very fast, although he does not often go to the city, but he also heard that his second brother's business is doing very well, how can it be that there are only more than five hundred taels of silver at home, I am afraid that my little niece is lying, right? I didn't expect the little girl to be a film, and she has a lot of eyes.
Uncle Kang stroked his beard because he didn't have too much concept of money, and said with relief: "You are a filial child, don't worry, Uncle Kang will arrange your parents' aftermath properly." ”
Kang Yan thanked Uncle Kang, and then instructed Uncle Kang: "Uncle Kang, you will pack up the money tonight and hand it over to Uncle tomorrow, and all affairs will depend on Uncle." ”
When Liu heard that the money was given to her man, her heart suddenly blossomed, and she finally cared about the inappropriate time and place, and barely suppressed the joy in her heart, her face was still sad, but she had already begun to think about how to use the money.
