Chapter 135: Tanabata
Warm, it's not good to go to other people's own homes again.
She sighed: "It's a little bit if you can help, and get through the hard days first." If the adults of the two families can stand up, life will not necessarily be unbearable. ”
"It's good to stand up, I'm afraid that Heiwa and Shanwa's wives will leave their children and go back to their parents' homes to remarry, otherwise these two families will really collapse." Liu inquired about Heiwa's wife and Shanwa's wife, and also inquired about their maiden family, and there was really something about remarrying.
Now it is not as good as before, the above instigated birth and raising, and advocated the remarriage of widows, and the in-laws generally did not dare to guard the widow's children and wives, otherwise they would have to go to the yamen and be punished if they made a big fuss.
The sister-in-law whispered, and when they reached the courtyard of the two houses, they closed their mouths. The two of them are women's families, and they are not related to these two families, so they can't run to the mourning hall to offer incense to the deceased, and it's not easy to squeeze in to comfort the mourning living, so they go straight to the back kitchen to help.
Guo Mianmian assisted Heiwa's family, and Liu's went to the Shanwa's house next door.
It is said that it is the back kitchen, but in fact, an easy grass shed was built next to the kitchen, and an earthen stove was built under it to make a fire to cook rice and boil water. There are several large tables next to it, which are used to chop vegetables and set them up.
The grass hut was built overnight by the villagers last night, and the earthen stove was also built overnight, so even the snow in the yard was cleared and cleaned. It's just that these days are not good days for burial, and they need to be carried up the mountain on the twenty-third day of the first month for three days.
There are several people who come to the kitchen to assist, all of them are women who are good friends with Heiwa's family, and they didn't expect to see Guo Mianmian coming, so they nodded at her and went about their own business.
Guo Mianmian is an adult who doesn't need others to entrust her to do things, and when she saw that the dishes on the table were stained with muddy water, she found a basin for washing vegetables and cleaned them.
The water was just brought up from the well, but it was not cold, but it was clear that the vegetables were cold and cold, and there was ice and snow on them, Guo Mianmian washed the vegetables, and his hands were red from the cold, not as dexterous as before.
Where there are people, there is gossip, not to mention the back kitchen of the women's gathering, several women are washing and cutting while whispering to study, and from time to time to steady the door, worried that the master's family will hear and cause a sadness.
A woman spoke brainily, opened her mouth and said: "There are four people lost at this time, all of them are those who went into the mountain with Heiwa Shanwa and they have not done their job, and the livelihood of these two families should be borne by the remaining twenty-one people in the future." ”
In addition to Guo Mianmian, the wives and children of the rest of the people who intervened in the hunt were not happy when they heard this: "What are your intentions?" Heiwa Shanwa is pitiful, and I feel bitter for the two of them in my heart, but the two of them are going into the mountain by themselves and they are not my family, so is it appropriate for us to bear the livelihood of these families? ”
The woman in front of her reacted that she had said the wrong thing, but she couldn't wipe her face and apologize to the woman who refuted her, so she interjected: "Isn't that your head of the family has returned to the world, and what is the point of giving this orphan and widow some help?" ”
The other woman was almost angry, snapped the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and said viciously: "Do you have a kind of saying that to the old lady again?" ”
The woman in front of her was frightened, and unconsciously took two steps back: "Say, say, what do you say, if you let me say it, I will say, who are you when you are?" ”
Seeing that the smell of explosives was getting stronger and stronger, someone immediately rushed up to dissuade him: "Oh, don't forget what you're here to do today, but don't fight!" If you want to say that Heiwa is gone, who are they looking for, is it looking for the greedy thing of the harrier, if he hadn't gone into the mountains to chase wild deer, the rest of the people would have been lost in the mountains? If you don't get lost, you won't stay in a cave, and if you don't stay in a cave, you won't have anything to do with the back......"
After saying so much in one breath, the persuader paused and took a breath, and then someone stood up and concluded: "In the end, the harrier is a great sinner, even if he wants to find someone to bear the livelihood of these families in the future, he should also bear it, and he can't be involved with innocent people." ”
As soon as the words fell, many people approved: "Yes, yes, there is a debtor, the harrier is the culprit, and you can't go wrong to find him." ”
"It's wrong, it's wrong, but this harrier's poor clanging, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about entering Shanbo. I heard that his arm was bitten by a bear, and no matter how much money he lost, he couldn't be cured, and the harrier cried all night! The person who spoke was probably too kind-hearted, and his tone unconsciously showed pity for the harrier's children.
Some people couldn't listen to it anymore, and immediately argued: "What's the use of crying, crying, crying?" Every time someone enters the mountain, who is not a thousand admonishments, he harrier especially goes into the mountain by himself, and he also has so many lives, now he knows how to cry, why did he go earlier. ”
"That's it, the harrier's arm was abolished by the bear, it's his own fault, he killed others, it's good if he didn't let him pay for his life, and dare to blame others for it?"
“……”
Several women's research was in full swing, and someone found that Guo Mianmian didn't say a word, so he buried his head in washing vegetables over there, and pulled her in: "Sister Ye, your two elder brothers have also entered the mountain, so you don't have anything to say?" ”
Guo Mianmian has already said what she wants to say, and she really has nothing to say. This kind of thing can't be said, so he said his guess: "It's really a big mistake for the harrier, and the village should let him give an explanation." ”
This was to the point, several women nodded their heads in approval, and one woman even said conclusively: "The village chief will definitely investigate the harrier's mistakes, and he will settle the account when the black baby is buried!" ”
This woman was friendly with the village chief's son's wife, and she dared to say that it was from the village chief's son's wife.
"Hmph, Heiwa's death is inseparable from the harrier, and the village chief should find the harrier to settle accounts." The rest did not question the woman's words, but were glad that the harrier would be punished.
Just when everyone was studying, a sharp cry came from the front yard: "thing, the old lady wants him to fill my son's life!" ”
This abrupt cry interrupted the words of several women, and one woman listened carefully, turned her head and said to the rest, "It's the mountain baby next door, who is she trying to fill in?" ”
Someone rushed out to see the warmth, and when he heard the words, he threw back a clear eye: "It must be looking for a harrier, do you need to ask?" ”
As soon as they heard this, the rest of the people couldn't stay and ran to the front yard one by one: "Let's go, let's go and see, this understands that we are going to make trouble in advance." ”
Guo Mianmian was still thinking about how the village chief would punish the harrier, and when she came back to her senses, she was the only one left in the back kitchen. At this time, the crying in the front yard became louder and louder, and she thought about it, put down the kitchen knife, and followed the women in front of her to the front yard.
It's just that no one expected Shanwaniang's movements to be so fast, crying and instructing more than a dozen young people to lift the coffins of Heiwa and Shanwa, not to the mountain for burial, but to the harrier's house.
Shanwaniang personally held the coffin and told the young people: "You have carried the mountain baby and the black baby well, don't turn them upside down." ”
"Aunt, you can rest assured that you won't disturb Cousin Shanwa and Cousin Heiwa." The young man at the head whispered a few words to the people behind him, and assured the old lady of the mountain baby with red eyes.
These dozen or so young people are all the maiden nephews of Shanwa Niang, some are relatives and some are next generation. The mountain baby mother planned to make a big fuss, and she believed that the people in the village called all her nephews and everything.
This time, no matter how much she made trouble, her nephew would always listen to her, and she didn't have the heart to do so, she just wanted to carry her son's body to Harrier's house and force Harrier to give her family a warning.
Heiwa and Shanwa are brothers, and the relationship between the two families is as close as a family, Shanwa's mother wants to go to the culprit to discuss the law, and naturally she will not leave her sister-in-law's family.
Heiwa's father and Heiwa's mother didn't have any ideas, and their only son went to them, so they didn't think about it except for sadness and crying. At this time, the younger siblings wanted to go to the harrier's house to ask for an explanation, even if they didn't want to disturb their son not to be leisurely, they didn't explicitly veto.
They think that their son is gone, at least they have left their grandchildren, and they must raise their grandchildren to be worthy of their dead son. It's just that they are old and young, and they may not be able to live for a few years, so they must always arrange the back road of their grandchildren, and if they kick their legs one day, they will have the face to see their son.
In this way, the mountain baby mother instructed more than a dozen nephews of the two families to carry the coffins of their own sons and nephews to the harrier's house, and the guests who came to the funeral also went to Zhuangshi, and the rest of the village's helpers also ran over, wondering how this matter would end.
Guo Mianmian did not squeeze forward like the rest of the people, she gradually followed the back of the crowd, wondering whether the behavior of Heiwa and Shanwa could get a freehand result, and then in a burst of noise, she saw two coffins and a group of people wearing linen and filial piety found at another cross road, but it was Gangzi and Liangzi who also came.
Gangzi's coffin walked in front, and it was Guo Lin who carried the coffin to the head; Ryoko's coffin is on the reverse side, and Guo Shu is one of the six coffin bearers. Now the two families are one after the other, and even the mourners are mixed together, and it is clear that after discussion, they go to the harrier to discuss the same as the two families of Heiwa and Shanwa.
Chinese Valentine's Day, I wish my colleagues a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, hehe!
Gangzi Liangzi and Heiwa Shanwa are very different from each other, the same is an ordinary farmer, the same old and young, every year they rely on the production in the field to live, otherwise they will not brave the cold and danger in the heavy snow to try it in the mountains.
Now that the four pillars are gone, it is tantamount to the sky falling for most of their families, but the pain in the bottom of their hearts is deep, and the living people always have to live, so the two families not far apart carried the coffins one after the other to find the harrier's house, and wanted the harrier to give an explanation, which happened to collide with the two families of Heiwa and Shanwa.
The four families suffered from the loss of their son, husband and father, and sought the harrier for the same purpose. After a momentary exchange, the Quartet tacitly carried the four coffins one after the other towards the Harrier's house.
On the northern edge of the village, Harrier's house is a three-room cramped house with adobe walls and thatched roofs. The harrier has not been able to marry a wife so far, the poor jingle is a reason, the main thing is that the mother and son are not pleasant people, the relationship between the neighbors is very peaceful, who will have nothing to do and spend a lot of effort to tell them about their wives and children?
If it weren't for the love that grew up since childhood, the harrier would not have inspired so many people to chase wild deer with him that day.
The death of the four Gangzi Shanwa is inseparable from the harrier, and the harrier is the descendant of the Li family, even if it is not a relative of the four people who had an accident, it is also a person who belongs to the same family, so it is reasonable to come to the door to worship, from last night to now, I have not seen their children and mothers come to the door, even if it is just on the incense!
At present, the four families have made such a big noise, but no one secretly went to the harrier's house to inform them, which shows how bad the interpersonal relationship between the son and mother is in the village, and no one thinks that there is something wrong with the four families going to the harrier's house together.
Until the four coffins were almost carried to the courtyard of the harrier's house
