Ning Er washed her face with tears every day, and Cui Xu also fell into endless self-blame, locking herself in the door and not coming out.

For a while, Huai Yanqing was the only one left in the entire family who had the ability to act.

And Huai Yanqing, just like Aunt Li asked him before she died, did not complain and took care of everyone in the family.

Aunt Li's coffin, the mourning hall, and the tributes were all purchased by him, and it naturally became his job to receive guests.

Although Aunt Li's relatives are only Ning'er, Lin Jinxiu and Qianlu also volunteered to wear linen and filial piety for her, and regarded her as their relatives.

Qianlu is an orphan, and Lin Jinxiu has long broken off relations with the Lin family and has no bonds.

However, because their parents were alive, Huai Yanqing and Cui Xu couldn't join them, so they just stayed by the side and took care of them.

Aunt Li has always been a gentle person during her lifetime.

In addition to the guests attracted by Lin Jinxiu's reputation, Aunt Li also has a high popularity in the neighborhood when Lin Jinxiu is busy with business.

I heard that Aunt Li had an accident, and all the neighbors who were good friends with Aunt Li on weekdays also came to see her.

Lin Jinxiu dressed her in linen and filial piety like her biological child, and the neighbors all sighed, how many good things did this Aunt Li did in her last life to get such a good goddaughter in this life.

At this time, Lin Jinxiu didn't listen to anything.

She knew that she should be strong, but when she encountered this situation, no matter how much she persuaded herself, she couldn't relax.

"Sister, let's take grandma back to Celadon County."

After the guests left, Ning Er couldn't cry at all, there were no more tears in her dry eyes, and the lively and lovely little girl had lost her original appearance.

"Grandma was born in Celadon County, grew up in Celadon County, and almost never left there in her life, it should be said that it is grandma's hometown."

The mourning hall at night stands out against the moonlight. It's gloomy, but it's your own relatives lying in this mourning hall, who would think it's terrifying here?

Lin Jinxiu just felt that if Aunt Li was left here alone, would she feel cold?

"My mother is also buried in Celadon County." Ning Er sniffed, the wind at night was a little cold, she sat next to Lin Jinxiu, and was hugged by Lin Jinxiu.

The sisters leaned close to each other and hugged each other, but they could no longer shed tears.

"Okay." Lin Jinxiu agreed, "Let's take grandma back to Celadon County." I'll go and tell you Brother Huai, and we'll be going back tomorrow." ”

"What do you want me to say?"

At this time, Huai Yanqing was afraid that the two of them would be cold in the mourning hall, so he happened to come out of the room, holding a blanket in his hand, and wrapped the sisters in together.

"Thank you, Brother Huai." Ning Er was obviously frozen, and sniffed again.

Lin Jinxiu looked up at Huai Yanqing and told him about going back to Celadon County.

"Okay." Huai Yanqing agreed without any hesitation, "I'll go buy a carriage tomorrow, and we'll take grandma back." ”

On weekdays, Lin Jinxiu and they don't need a carriage when they go out, but it is indeed very inappropriate to rent someone else's carriage to hold the coffin, so in order to facilitate their own use, it is better to buy one.

"Hmm." Lin Jinxiu hummed a note from her nose.

There was silence.

"It's late at night, go to sleep." Huai Yanqing turned his head and found that Cui Xu also walked out at this time, so he patted the two girls on the backs and motioned for them to go to sleep and change shifts by themselves.

Lin Jinxiu was also obedient, knowing that if she fell ill again, she would not be able to help, so she took Ning Er back to the room together.

In the past few days, Ning'er has slept with Lin Jinxiu, because whenever she goes back to her room and sees what Aunt Li left behind, she wants to cry very much, and in the end she can't stand it anymore, so she simply brings her own futon over to sleep with Lin Jinxiu.

From the moment Aunt Li died, Ning Er knew that Lin Jinxiu had become her only relative.

While lying on the bed, Ning Er looked at Lin Jinxiu and couldn't help crying.

As long as Lin Jinxiu felt Ning'er's uneasiness, she would reach out and gently pat her back to coax her to sleep.

And when Lin Jinxiu fell into a dream, Ning'er would get into her sister's arms and comfort her.

The two sisters comforted each other until they fell asleep.

The next day, Huai Yanqing, who had been guarding all night, went out to the post station outside the county town to find a relatively large carriage, just to make Aunt Li's way back a little less bumpy.

The people at the post station recognized Huai Yanqing as a person from the splendid world, and also knew about yesterday's funeral, sighed, and helped Huai Yanqing find a carriage that could take Aunt Li away, and by the way, he prayed in his heart that he was not here to rent a car.

Although Aunt Li is a good person, she is still a little unlucky after all.

Huai Yanqing obviously understood this truth, and asked for a new carriage that had just been made, which reassured the people at the post station.

Seeing Huai Yanqing know each other like this, the people at the post station sighed deeply, gave Huai Yanqing a discount very conscientiously, and gave a set of cushions in the car to make Aunt Li comfortable.

Huai Yanqing thanked him and drove the carriage back home.

Because the main role is to pull the coffin, Huai Yanqing did not choose the kind of carriage for people to sit on, but chose the cart for pulling goods, the space is large enough, as long as the coffin is wrapped in cloth, you can't see it, at least when there are few people before walking from the street.

Aunt Li liked to be quiet the most when she was alive, so Lin Jinxiu and Ning Er didn't plan to hold another funeral in Celadon County, they just wanted Aunt Li to sleep quietly and not be disturbed anymore.

Huai Yanqing's car was bought, Lin Jinxiu also woke up at this time, lightly crossed Ning'er, climbed down from the bed, hugged Lele, who had woken up and began to roll around to entertain himself, to the door of the room to catch his breath.

"Wake up." Huai Yanqing looked at Lin Jinxiu, stepped forward and touched her head like Aunt Li.

"What." Lin Jinxiu was in a bad mood, and she didn't have the idea of messing with Huai Yanqing, she just gave him a slap in the eye and grabbed his hand and took it off her head.

Aunt Li touched her head, it was kindness, and Huai Yanqing touched her head so that Lin Jinxiu always felt that he was trying to take advantage of himself.

Well, it's not that cheap, but in the era of Lin Jinxiu's predecessor, it was cheap that each other wanted to be each other's fathers.

"When are we leaving?" Huai Yanqing asked Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu thought for a while: "In the dead of night tonight, take a little longer, prepare to do enough, and pull the coffin on the street in broad daylight, others may feel unlucky, don't mess with it if you can." ”

"Okay." Huai Yanqing nodded and untied the two horses pulling the cart from the carriage.

Cui Xu's house did not have a stable, so he had to move the horse out of the door, ride it back to the post station, let them take care of it, and then come to pick up the horse when he was ready.

Although this is very troublesome, the floor of the house is all stone bricks, and if you let the horses rest on the stone brick floor, they will always get tired.

When Huai Yanqing came back, everyone at home had already woken up, Cui Xu went to make breakfast for everyone, Ning Er was cleaning up, and Lin Jinxiu was preparing to go out and walked in the direction of the store.

"What are you going to do?"

"Grab something and clean it up." Lin Jinxiu didn't look back.

"Okay." Huai Yanqing promised, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Lin Jinxiu squeezed out a um from her throat, and walked on the street a little dejectedly, attracting people's sideways.

"That artillery shop on the east side of the city was on fire the night before! It is said that two catchers were burned to death. ”

"Besides, I was scared to death when I caught someone in the middle of the night that day."

"Qinghe Tower hasn't opened for a whole day, and there is no sign of opening the door today, and I don't know what happened?"

"The splendid world hasn't been open for a whole day, could it be that the shopkeeper Lin is busy marrying Chef Cui?"

"Don't talk nonsense! The old lady Li of the shopkeeper Lin was killed by the owner of the artillery shop that night, and she was doing a funeral! ”

"Be quiet, look at the shopkeeper Lin......"

Lin Jinxiu was troubled by the noise around her.

Whether it was about the artillery shop or Qinghelou, she didn't want to hear anything.

She took her arms and walked down the street, tomorrow and tomorrow would be the warm sun, but at this time she didn't feel any warmth, only the bone-chilling cold.

Many people on the street are talking about the big moves of the previous government, and why she is walking on the street alone, Cui Yingjie? What really happened that day? Why did the old lady of the Lin family die?

No one knew the truth, but they dared to say it, and all kinds of speculations came into their minds, making Lin Jinxiu a little unbearable.

In fact, these people who are talking about it have tried their best to suppress their voices, but Lin Jinxiu himself is a person with very good hearing, and he can only consider himself unlucky when he encounters such a situation.

She regretted a little why she didn't bring Huai Yanqing out, at least if he was there, he would give herself some comfort.

At the same time, she was very glad that she didn't bring Huai Yanqing out, if the gossip was smashed in her face again, she might not be able to stand it.

Soon, Lin Jinxiu came to the door of his store, but he didn't expect that there was someone at the door of the store.

"Shopkeeper!" It was the two runners who were transferred by Cui Yingjie as eyeliner, and the two of them were very confused at this time.

Yesterday, I waited for most of the day and didn't see the store open, and it was only later that I got the news of the funeral, and the two of them went to see it, but because there were too many people, they didn't squeeze in.

Today they came here again, waiting for Lin Jinxiu or Cui Yingjie, as long as any of them could appear at the door of the store, they would be satisfied.

Cui Yingjie never showed up, but Lin Jinxiu came.

Lin Jinxiu raised her head, looked at these two faces that she was already familiar with, and found that there were still some people waiting behind them, and nodded: "You two come with me." ”

With that, he walked through the crowd and walked into the store with the two runners.

The people waiting outside thought that the splendid world was going to open a store, but they didn't expect that the door was closed again after Lin Jinxiu.

The people outside sighed for a while, when they saw Lin Jinxiu before, her face was always filled with a good-looking smile, but now, there is only pathos on her face, and the smile has completely disappeared.

Of course, this is also how it should be, when a loved one dies, especially a woman like Lin Jinxiu, how can she be happy?
