Chapter 86: Mother-in-law
"Bao'er, why are you here?"
After seeing the appearance of the three people at the door, Li Ergou suddenly exclaimed, and quickly got up to greet him.
In the past few days, Lin Baoer once called Li Ergou, saying that she wanted to ask Li Ergou to meet his parents, but Li Ergou prevaricated back on the grounds that there was something at home.
On the one hand, because something did happen at home, Li Ergou was lacking in skills, if she told Sister Bao'er the truth, with her character, she would definitely come over to accompany Li Ergou.
However, the family is not peaceful now, secretly, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are silently staring at the Li family.
Li Ergou was worried that something would happen to Sister Bao'er when she came.
On the other hand, it was because of the suicide note left by my grandfather.
Li Ergou knew very well in his heart that his grandfather would not urge him to marry Sister Bao'er for no reason.
Behind this matter, there is definitely another hidden story.
Li Ergou was born in a spirit fetus, and in order to keep him, Li Chengde paid the price of his life.
Thinking of his grandfather Chenghuang Ye and the identity of the core figure of the Lingyin Sect, the baby kiss twenty-five years ago had to make Li Ergou suspicious.
In that era, ordering dolls paid attention to the right people, since Li Ergou and their family had this kind of background, does that mean that Sister Bao'er and her parents are also cultivators?
If so, then Li Ergou would not be in a hurry to marry Sister Bao'er, because Li Ergou didn't want to involve Sister Bao'er in these grievances, let alone put her in danger.
He didn't want to meet with Sister Bao'er until the matter was fully investigated.
Therefore, in the past few days, because Li Ergou has been shirking, the two have also had some unpleasantness.
"Are you embarrassed? Why are you hiding it from me when something so big happens? Also, since you already knew that you had ordered a baby kiss with me, why didn't you tell me? ”
Li Ergou walked up to Sister Bao'er, and Sister Bao'er hammered her chest with two small fists, and questioned him while hammering back.
"This ......"
Li Ergou suddenly felt that his head was big for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it to Sister Bao'er, so he looked at the fat man for help.
Unexpectedly, the fat man spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything, and made an expression of asking for more blessings.
"Bao'er, these two should be uncles and aunts!"
Just when Li Ergou didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw the middle-aged couple next to Sister Bao'er, and suddenly had an idea, deliberately changed the topic, and asked Sister Bao'er.
This is also something that can't be helped, at any time, you can't make women angry, and even if you do, you can't reason with them.
Although Li Ergou has never been in love, he still understands this truth.
"Well, they're my parents."
Sure enough, hearing Li Ergou say this, Sister Bao'er calmed down and introduced Li Ergou.
"Hello uncle and aunt!"
After receiving Sister Bao'er's affirmative reply, Li Ergou hurriedly greeted the middle-aged couple and looked at them curiously.
Sister Bao'er's father wore a black suit, with a handsome and chic appearance, and a briefcase, which he knew at a glance that he was a successful person.
Sister Bao'er's mother wore a black dress with light makeup on her face, exuding a noble lady's temperament from the inside out.
While Li Ergou was looking at Sister Bao'er's parents, they were also observing Li Ergou.
"Hey, I'm really sensible, just call me Aunt Xue, he is your Uncle Lin, now he is called Uncle and Auntie, and it won't be long before he can call him Mom."
Sister Bao'er's mother is also a straight person, and as soon as Li Ergou's voice fell, she said with a smile.
Her appearance responds to the old saying: "The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes." ”
However, after listening to what she said, even with Li Ergou's face, he couldn't help but blush.
"Okay, Aunt Xue, Uncle Lin, please go inside, I'll go to Grandpa's funeral first, and then I'll greet you when I'm done."
Li Ergou hurriedly welcomed Sister Bao'er's parents into the yard.
Sister Bao'er's mother is named Xue Ning, and her father's name is Lin Zitao, speaking of which, she is also a popular figure in Yangcheng.
They started from scratch back then, and their business grew bigger and bigger, and finally they went to other places to develop, and they couldn't come back a few times a year.
I just don't know, what did Sister Bao'er leave in Yangcheng?
"Okay, we also have to give Uncle Ruzhong a pillar of incense, and give him a ride by the way."
Sister Bao'er's father and mother, after entering the courtyard, came directly to her grandfather's mourning hall.
After seeing Li Ergou's mother, Sister Bao'er's mother stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yun, saying, "Over the years, you have brought up your second brother alone, it's really hard for you." ”
Could it be Liu Yuntao? Thinking of this, Li Ergou couldn't help but be shocked, if it was really Liu Yuntao, then this guy was too calm.
Grandpa sinks into the lake to suppress demons, they have seen it with their own eyes, so they should know that there is no grandpa's body in the coffin, so why bother to toss in the mourning hall again?
"Forget it, nothing big happens, let's let grandpa be buried as soon as possible!" After thinking about it, Li Ergou said to the third uncle and the fat man.
Whether it is Zheng Yaqi or Liu Yuntao, as long as their purpose is not achieved, they will still do it.
Once they do it, they will inevitably leave some clues, and when the time comes, it will be time for Li Ergou and them to fight back.
If these people still treat him as the waste wood who didn't understand anything before, Li Ergou will inevitably make them pay a bloody price.
"Okay, I'll call someone to help." The third uncle nodded, and then walked out of the courtyard.
The fat man also returned to his room to prepare some things to be used in the afternoon, because the fat man, the descendant of the Heavenly Master Dao, was there, and Li Ergou did not invite Mr. Taoist to preside over the sacrifice.
After about an hour, the village chief, the eldest grandfather and the third uncle all came to the house.
This is the case in the countryside, whether it is a happy event or a funeral, it is all the neighbors who go together, and everyone does it together.
Especially funerals, which require manpower, digging pits, carrying coffins, etc., are all manual work.
Those folk song and dance troupes had already come last night and performed in the village all night.
By ten o'clock, the fat man had already changed into a Taoist robe, came to his grandfather's coffin, and covered the coffin with a layer of cloth.
There are all kinds of patterns embroidered on that cloth, which are somewhat similar to shrouds, and Li Ergou doesn't understand exactly why he did this.
"Brother Ergou, Li Sanyuan, and Auntie, you all come over and give the old man one last incense."
After counting the hours, it was almost time to lift the coffin, and the fat man shouted at Li Ergou and them.
This is also the custom of this area of Wolong Village, there is an old man in the family who dies, and before going up the mountain, his relatives have to give him the last incense, which means that he will go all the way.
