In the afternoon, at the door of Zhao Laohan's house, looking from afar, there was a lot of vegetarianism.

Second Uncle Zhao and Third Uncle Zhao are not rich, but Zhao Dashan and Zhao Dachuan are rich.

This funeral is going to be done in a big way, setting up a stage, inviting a drum band, and the sound of suona gongs and drums.

Soybeans are pregnant, so they don't have to kowtow to kneel with them, Huang Xiaoyu doesn't have to hide all the time, so he goes around from time to time.

Filial sons and grandsons, filial daughters-in-law, filial granddaughters-in-law, and a group of small radish heads, all coiled around the coffin.

Those funerals are handled by people from the Zhao family, and as long as the family raises all the money, someone will bring it to them even for dinner.

The Zhao family is quite large, and on the day of condolence, the surrounding clansmen, plus the in-laws, mourned on this day, and the filial piety shed had twenty tables at a time, taking turns to eat, and eating until the evening.

Zhao Dashan was either pulled by this clan to speak, or was pulled by that in-law to chat a few words. At night, the throat is dumb. When I came to see the soybeans, I drank two large glasses of warm water in a row.

In the past few days, Huang Dou and Huang Xiaoyu have slept on the bed in the east wing with Brother Li'er.

In fact, it was not allowed, and they should all make a straw bunk next to the old man's coffin.

There were a lot of people, and the room was not big, some slept under the coffin, and some just sat and slept with their eyes closed.

Zhao Dashan would not let Huang Dou suffer this kind of crime no matter what. Anyway, he paid the most, and those uncles and aunts were naturally happy to turn a blind eye.

On the day of the condolences, too many relatives came, and Huang Dou could only sit next to the coffin with Huang Xiaoyu holding the child. No matter where you sleep at night, you still have to pretend today.

Zhao Dashan was afraid that they would squeeze in the middle, and he was afraid that they would be touched when they went in and out outside, so he simply moved them to the innermost corner.

Brother Hang and Brother Jing didn't dare to run around, and sat obediently next to the two of them.

During the meal, the filial son and grandson wanted to go out and kneel to thank him, Huang Dou could not go, Huang Xiaoyu could not go, so he put Brother Li'er next to Huang Dou and let her watch.

Brother Li'er was very well-behaved when she was full, and Huang Dou didn't have to hug him, so she put him aside to lie down, and she straightened her legs to soothe her. There were too many people to sit down, so she could only try to occupy as little space as possible and leave some space for others.

At this time, Yoyo Dada came over with an aunt.

opened his mouth and called Huang Dou's third nephew and daughter-in-law, and said that who in my family and Dashan are brothers who have not come out of five suits, not an aunt or an aunt?

Zhao Dashan's relatives here, Huang Dou doesn't know much, she comes back little, she sees little, she is still a little face blind, and insignificant people forget it when they see it.

"Auntie, are you sitting, have you eaten?" To put it mildly, it's always right.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat it at the next table, don't worry. Today's table is pompous, with fish, meat, chickens and ducks, all bowls and bowls. ”

As she spoke, the aunt sighed, "Hey, you're up here." is that Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao San are busy building houses and buying land, and they are all stained with the light of the mountains. ”

Huang Dou didn't like to deal with this kind of parental shortcomings, so he only nodded and smiled without saying anything, and by the way, he pretended to take care of Brother Li'er and made time to avoid his eyes.

"Third nephew and daughter-in-law, I won't hide it from you......" said, he actually took out a white-washed handkerchief to wipe his tears, and said while crying: "My family, this is poor and can't do it......"

As he was talking, the curtain flashed, and it was Aunt Zhao who came over. Second Aunt Zhao was called by the stove room just now to have something, so she didn't go to participate in the gratitude of relatives and friends.

When I opened the curtain and came in, I saw a cousin in the clan sitting next to the soybean and crying.

"Yo, his aunt, I know that our old man died, and I don't know that I think you are the old man's daughter-in-law, see how you cry."

As he spoke, he walked over and stood between the two of them: "Dashan daughter-in-law is pregnant, we have something to go out to say." ”

Just like that, the aunts in this clan were dragged out by Aunt Zhao.

Turning her head, Second Aunt Zhao came to invite Huang Dou: "These people, you can't take care of them, you are young and thin-skinned, and it is not easy to refuse, the next time you meet such a person, push it to me, your second aunt is the best at these things." ”

After a busy day, when relatives and friends were dispersed in the evening, Huang Dou finally got up from Grandpa Zhao's coffin, ate and went to Zhao Dahai's wing.

I happened to meet Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law with a large porcelain bowl stuffed into the hands of an aunt, and the bowl was full of meat dishes. Seeing Huang Dou and Huang Xiaoyu coming over with their children, Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law smiled wryly, and didn't say anything, just pushed the aunt away.

This aunt is the one who ran to talk to Soybeans during the day and was driven away by Aunt Zhao.

Seeing that the two of them entered the wing room without asking anything, Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law turned around and entered the house, came out with a bowl of boiled peanuts and entered the wing.

"This is what my mother's family brought today, I just cooked it, put salt in it, you can taste it." Huang Xiaoyu hugged the child, and Huang Dou took it with a smile.

Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law is such a meticulous person, even if they don't ask, she will definitely come over to explain.

After all, most of the money for this funeral was taken by Zhao Dashan and Zhao Dachuan, and the two of them just took some money for show.

"Today's aunt is from our own family, and she hasn't come out of five suits yet. Her father-in-law and the dead old man are still cousins. Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law said, and simply dragged a chair and sat down.

"Her man is sick and has been dead for a few years. The two sons are obedient and sensible, but they are too honest, and they are also honest after marrying two daughters-in-law. A large family lives on a few acres of land at home, and it is common for them to be underfed and clothed.

Who knew that this summer, the third grandson and a few children went to play in the river and fell down. The child has been unconscious, everyone said that her family would forget it, but the family did not agree, so they had to find a doctor and go to the town for acupuncture every three or five times.

Now that I'm awake, the child doesn't have the same cleverness as before, and the rest is okay, not stupid, but the family land has been sold for more than two acres, not to mention eating now, there will be no food after the autumn harvest! ”

Probably too pitiful, Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law couldn't help but burst into tears, and embarrassedly lifted the corner of her clothes and wiped it.

"I've been sitting here for a day, and my back hurts, second sister-in-law, why don't you go with me, Xiaoyu, you take the child to rest first." Huang Dou stood up and looked at Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law.

Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law was stunned, she said this for a long time, how could she react like this. Don't talk about sympathy, at least a few words.

"Okay." Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law stood up and held Huang Dou's arm: "Then let's go out for a walk, it's not too cold this day." ”

The two men went out of the door, went west, and turned to the main road after three turns and two turns.

"Second sister-in-law, where did that aunt live just now?"

Huang Dou asked, looking at the village in the night.

At this moment, every household in the small village lit up the oil lamp, faintly and hazy.

Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law waited for a long time before answering: "Just ahead, I'll take you over, not far." ”

There was a joyful feeling in the words.
