Chen Zumo knelt in front of his father's bed and cried for half an hour, before he wiped away his tears and got up, first slapped himself, and then slapped Chen Ding, and didn't look at the mother next to him, but said in a dumb voice, "Put a hearse and send the old lady back to Qinjia Village." ”

People die and return to their hometowns, Qinjia Village is the root of the Chen family, and presumably his father's soul has left the body and returned to his hometown.

Seeing his son like this, Pi Shi felt uncomfortable and weak, and he didn't dare to trouble him with his tears.

A day later, the elders of Jixian County learned that Chen Zumo's father had died of illness, and they sighed one after another: Time, luck, and life. Seeing that the Chen family was about to spread their wings and fly high, they were forced back into the nest by others, and this pressure was three years.

Three years later, the new champion has come out, Chen Zumo, the outdated champion, can still fly, can the errand of the Ministry of Rites be kept?

Behind the writing table set up in front of Chen's house, Chen, with a swollen face, wrote down the gift money sent by the guests. The number on the paper is obviously less than when the old man was first promoted to the Ministry of Rites two months ago, and it can't help but make people sigh that the world is cold.

In addition to being good friends with the Chen family, most of the families who come to worship have heads and faces in charge or young masters who don't care about things, which shows the attitude of the merchants.

Chen Zumo knelt beside his father's spiritual bed, and fell from the sky to the ground in just two days, making him numb, desolate, and angry, but he had nowhere to complain, so he could only slowly precipitate and accumulate in his heart, turning into a boulder blocked in his heart, and it became difficult to breathe.

Unlike most merchants, Qin Rizhan, the head of the family who came to Aya Luo Nishang, after Chen Zumo returned the salute, Qin Rizhan said his condolences and said, "If there is any difficulty, Lord Chen can send someone to call the Japanese War, but he can't help with it, and he can still do one or two small things." ”

Although this was a lie, Chen Zumo still held Qin Rizhan's hand and showed gratitude. Because there are many fewer people who are willing to tell a lie now, Qin Rizhan is still a good one, no wonder Mrs. has always told him that Qin Rizhan is worth befriending.

Xiao Nuan, who was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the shade, looked at the green butterfly and Chen Zumo greetings, and her mood was a little abrupt, and she didn't know where she was for a while. Rhubarb arched her legs, and Xiao Nuan subconsciously reached out to touch Rhubarb's ears.

Xiaocao stayed in the mourning hall for a long time and was sent home by Xiao Nuan due to the hot weather, but Rhubarb has been here with her, and this time it is three days.

At this time, it was the summer solstice, and the Chen family came and went and there were no trees to shade them, so how could they stand the rhubarb covered in thick hair. Touching its hot ears, Xiao Nuan felt distressed, "The river is warm, go to the shallow water to bubble." ”

Rhubarb stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat, but still insisted on it until the green butterfly came back, and then ran to the river to soak in the water, and after shaking off the water droplets, he came back to accompany him.

Xiao Nuan knew that it was because she couldn't relax when she saw that she was staying in the courtyard of the Chen family, so she should go back, and it was a big deal not to go back to the first village, so that she would not be scolded by her mother.

As soon as Xiao Nuan stood up to leave, Chai Yuyuan arrived wearing a filial piety dress. Chai Yuyuan cried with grief, and after being helped to kneel on the first place of the women's seat on the right, she stared at the old man Chen who was covered with a white cloth on the morgue, and there was only anger in her eyes.

Dead, he actually died!

He actually died at this time!

The people who have been paying attention to her since Chai Yuyuan entered the house saw her undisguised expression, and looked at Chen Zumo, who was crying on the left side of the spiritual bed, his eyes were swollen and his voice was split, and his face was numb, and they thought a lot in their hearts.

Outside the door, Han Erpang leaned into Xiao Nuan's ear and whispered, "Your father is going to be whipped again this time!" ”

Seeing that the good days in her hands are flying, Chai Yuyuan doesn't suppress the fire and beat people, I heard that pregnant women's tempers are bigger than usual, her father stays at home every day, and good days are coming.

Xiao Nuan's gaze swept around and fell on Aoyagi, what is the reason why Aoyagi has been reluctant to give up for the past few days?

Before she could figure it out, Zhao Shuyan also rushed back to the capital to pay respects.

After returning from the south, Xiao Nuan hadn't seen Zhao Shuyan for two months. Watching him enter the mourning hall to salute and offer incense to Old Man Chen, her father returned the salute and greeted Zhao Shuyan, and then after Zhao Shuyan came out of the mourning hall, he walked slowly towards himself, Xiao Nuan nodded slightly, and did not take him to drink the tea of the Chen family, but went out of the courtyard.

Everyone in the village knew that Xiao Nuan and Zhao Shuyan were familiar, and they didn't feel anything when they saw this, but Qin Daniel in the crowd and Qin Dalang, who rushed back to help entertain the guests, saw Xiao Nuan talking to the man so casually, and their faces were angry and disdainful.

After the two walked outside Chen's house, Xiao Nuan asked, "Big brother just came back?" ”

"I rushed back when I got the news, but it was still two days late." Zhao Shuyan said in a low voice, the first day of setting up the mourning hall is the first day of worship.

Xiao Nuan shook her head, "Big brother doesn't have to rush back, your family's chief steward has already come." ”

Although the relationship between the Chen and Zhao families is average, but Old Man Chen is Xiao Nuan's own grandfather, how could Zhao Shuyan not come, after he got the news, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed back. Although the weather is hot and the road is tired, it is worth it to see Xiao Nuan well.

"Are these days alright?"

"It's all good, my little sister has been busy thinking about cotton spinning recently, and I already have some clues, so I'll take my eldest brother to see it another day." With the identity of the first village manager of the mother's mother, Xiao Nuan can go to the weaving shop without Qin Rizhan's identity.

After seeing that the research on cotton weaving was in trouble, she suddenly remembered the tools she used to take when Guo Da performed "Playing Cotton" for the Japanese in a funny movie she had seen before, although she didn't know how to use this thing, but she still relied on the gourd to draw a scoop and let people get it, trying to let the craftsman play the cotton, I didn't want to really touch some doorways crookedly, Xiao Nuan curled the corners of her mouth, very proud.

Zhao Shuyan saw that the little girl was in a good mood, and only after hanging all the way did he put it down, and said softly, "You did a good job this time." ”

What goes well?

Xiao Nuan turned his head, and Zhao Shuyan said softly, "Although Old Man Chen treated you and Xiaocao harshly when he was alive, you didn't fall into the well when he was sick but helped to do things, and after the old man died, you also guarded here, this is to repay grievances with virtue, the foolish brother thought that you were unwilling to do this, and the foolish brother was relieved to see you like this." ”

Xiao Nuan lowered her head, although she didn't drop the big stone, the small stone still threw a few pieces. She stayed here for three or four days, not because she wanted to come but because her mother forced her to come, she just didn't want to disappoint her mother, so she came to see her father's face every day, "the sky and the world have lost me".

Seeing her like this, Zhao Shuyan's feelings for several months were overflowing, he reached out and gently helped her straighten the white flowers on her head, and patted her little shoulder, "Endure it for a few more days." ”

She is not a rhubarb, so she doesn't need to shoot and smooth her hair, Xiao Nuan smiled, "Big brother, little sister is fine." ”

Zhao Shuyan nodded, "Brother Yu is going to stay in Ji County for a few months when I come back this time, you and I will take the time to sum up the situation in front of us so that we can make the next step." ”

Since the war, prices have skyrocketed, and so have the taxes of the commercial banks, so they should make a good calculation. Xiao Nuan should come down, and after sending Zhao Shuyan away, she was about to take Rhubarb home, but Green Butterfly leaned into her ear and whispered, "The third master has returned from the capital." ”

Xiao Nuan was full of excitement, and hurriedly said, "You go and tell Brother Xuan, just say that I will guard the spirit in the next few days, and I will guard the grave in the next section, and then I will go to the third master in a month to say goodbye." ”

Green Butterfly secretly pointed to the carriage not far from the door, "The third master is waiting for the girl in the car." ”
