Grandpa said last time, saying that he wanted to drink the duck soup I made. Du Mei burst into tears and said in a choked voice.

"I'm here to watch, you go ahead." Zhong Yu expected that Du Shicheng would not wake up for a while, but he didn't have much time, whether it was tonight or tomorrow morning, he might die suddenly, Zhong Yu didn't want Du Mei to regret it.

"Whoa." Du Mei answered and hurried away.

"Meizi, what's wrong with you? Your grandfather ......" Fang Shi came back from the vegetable field with a basket, and when he saw Du Mei's eyes red, he thought that Du Shicheng had returned to the west, and said with relatives.

"Aunt Fang, sell me one of your old ducks, my grandfather misses the bowl of duck soup for the New Year, but my family is all new ducks this year, I'm afraid it's not tasteful enough." Du Mela stopped Fang and said with some urgency.

"Your grandfather wants to drink duck soup, you come to the house and catch it, it's not worth anything, where do you need money!" Fang's family has always been good friends with Xu's family, Du Jiasuo works as a carpenter outside on weekdays, and Du Mei sends people to take care of the heavy farm work in the field.

When the two arrived at Fang's house, Fang's got into the duck's nest and caught the fattest female duck, and Du Mei took advantage of her inattention to put a tael of silver in the needlework basket she used to do daily work.

Boil water to kill the ducks, pluck and clean them, and in the evening, a pot of duck soup began to slowly stew on the stove of Du Mei's house. At this time, the sky outside was cloudy and the wind was cold, and the villagers closed their doors early to stay at home.

In other words, Du Mingtang went out to chase for most of the day with his strong laborers, and chased him to Sheshan Town, but he didn't even see a shadow, thinking that he was chasing in the wrong direction. They didn't give up, and scattered to the surrounding villages to inquire, but no one had ever seen Ma Rong, so Ma Rong magically disappeared out of thin air with the little baby.

The twilight was about to darken, Du Huaibing wrapped his jacket tightly and came to Sanjin's house against the sassy cold wind to tell him this bad news.

There was a mess in the three-room courtyard, melon seed shells, and tea leaves were scattered everywhere, and the good full moon banquet was all stirred, Chef Lu put some meat together and put it in the kitchen, and the other vegetables and soup were divided into the kitchen, otherwise they had to be poured out. The owner's family was already very unhappy about this, and Chef Lu was inconvenient to ask for wages, so he packed up his things and left.

Du Huaibing stepped on the stains all over the place, walked into the house, and told Du Mingtang how to find it and where he found it, and told Sanjin one by one.

"It's all fate, what a sin!" When Sanjin heard that Du Zao was not found, he burst into tears.

Although he suspected that Du Zao was not his own at the moment, this pink and tender little doll had really brought him the joy and happiness of being a father before, and this kind of disgust and reluctance to give up the intricate feelings made him really feel bad in his heart.

"Where's my Du Jujube, where is Du Jujube?" When Xie Shi heard the voice, he ran in unkempt, and grabbed Du Huaibing with a dull gaze and asked.

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!" Du Huaibing shook off her hand in disgust.

"Where did you hide her?" Xie rushed into the house, threw all the quilts and clothes on the ground, and rummaged around.

"Sanjin, how are you going to deal with this?" Du Huaibing asked with a solemn face.

He is the patriarch, and he is the righteous, if there is such a shameful thing in his own clan, if there is no explanation, he will inevitably be criticized in the future, and his reputation and Du Jiagou's reputation will be damaged.

"My heart is very chaotic, and it is all up to the patriarch to decide." Sanjin is not casual on weekdays, so where do you have any serious ideas at this time.

"The Xie family corrupts the style, if it is not severely punished, it will inevitably bring the girls and daughters-in-law of the bad clan, first locked up in the ancestral hall for a period of reflection, I see that your father's situation is not good, wait a while, don't provoke him again." Du Huaibing glanced at the three golds who were at a loss and said in a low voice.

"A slut like her should sink into the pool right away to set an example!" Du Jie suddenly appeared like a ghost and said gloomily.

"You kid, you're stupid, she's your mother, how can she be so poisonous!" Du Huaibing was startled by his fierce voice that was completely out of age.

"She did such a morally corrupt thing, she is no longer worthy of being my mother!" Du Jie stubbornly raised his head.

He had seen through the scandal of Xie and Ma Rong a long time ago, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, even if he said it, his father wouldn't believe it, he looked at his mother and Changgong every day, and his insulted heart had already been full of holes, and now he gave birth to the evil obstacle of Du Zao, he wanted to strangle her with his own hands every moment, instead of looking at her, he remembered his mother's water-based Yanghua, and insulted the lintel!

"It's up to you to call the shots!" Du Huaibing put on the style of a patriarch and stopped it strongly.

Du Huaibing has lived most of his life, listening to Du Jie's vicious words, he only felt a chill on his back, this child is only fifteen years old, but his eyes seem to be quenched with poison, how much hatred he has in his heart.

Xie collapsed in the room with tears streaming down her face, she was holding Du Zao's small pillow tightly in her hand, Sanjin was completely disappointed in her, and her son hated to kill her immediately to relieve her hatred, a string that had been tense in her heart suddenly snapped, her eyes were dark, and she could no longer think about her right and wrong.

When Du Huaibing saw that Xie had fainted, he went out and called two powerful women, dragged her to the ancestral hall like a dead dog, threw her a quilt and two steamed buns, and locked the charred door with a lock.

Du Huaibing went to Du Shicheng's house to visit, and saw that he was asleep, Zhong Yu personally guarded the side, seeing this situation, he knew that the big thing was not good, and stepped forward to inquire quietly, and learned that he had little time left, and he was very reluctant for a while, and his eyes were wet with tears.

"Patriarch, I'm afraid you will have to act as Zhang Luo for the uncle's future." Zhong Yu knew that Wei was a useless old woman, there was no other use than bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and when something really happened, she would only cry.

"Hey, there was that incident in Sanjin's house, which was enough to annoy him, and Dajin is a lump of wood, so I have to come forward to preside over it. Fortunately, he was in a bad situation the first few times, and the coffin and shroud at home were prepared in advance, so he would not panic at that time. Du Huaibing shook his head and glanced at the thin figure on the bed.

"That's for the best." Zhong Yu answered in a low voice.

It suddenly snowed that night, and the dense snow particles crackled against the rubble of the window lattice. The kitchen of Du Mei's house was lit up in dim light, the duck soup had been boiling for two hours, and the fragrance wafted in the snowy night of the first snow of this winter.

On the second day, the snow stopped, and it was snowy, covered in silver, Du Mei added a cotton gown, she almost didn't dare to sleep last night, half asleep and half awake, just afraid that Zhong Yu would come and call her to see her for the last time.

The stones had swept away the snow in the courtyard and piled it up in the corner of the courtyard outside, she took a broom, walked out of the courtyard gate, and swept the white snow all over the ground out of a path to the courtyard of Grandpa's house.

She stopped outside the courtyard and listened, there was no sound inside, it was as quiet as on an ordinary day, which made her have the illusion for a while, only to feel that her grandfather was still as good as before.

Du Mei went home and was having breakfast, when she saw Wei running in a panic, saying that Du Shicheng had woken up and wanted to drink duck soup.

Not daring to delay at all, Du Mei put down her chopsticks, turned around and went out with a clay bowl warm with duck soup on the stove. Xu Shi watched worriedly, and finally sat down.

Wei Shi was flustered, the ice ballast on the snow was hard and slippery, she was careless, stumbled under her feet, and suddenly fell on her ass and squatted, so painful that she couldn't get up for a while.

"Leave me alone, you go!" Wei waved his hand in pain. Du Mei held the sand bowl in both hands, and couldn't pull her at all.

Du Mei cautiously walked into the house, and saw Du Shicheng half-leaning on the head of the bed, and Zhong Yu was giving him needles. There was a brazier in the room, but it wasn't too cold.

"I've been smelling the duck soup for a long time, well, it's still the same smell for the New Year." Du Shicheng is in good spirits, and he has the strength to speak.

Hearing this, Du Mei turned her face, tears flowed down her eyes at once, she knew that Du Shicheng at this time was what Zhong Yu said, and she had returned to the light.

Wei limped in with a big blue-edged bowl, looked at the tears on Du Mei's face, didn't dare to ask, and only handed the bowl to her. Du Mei turned around and wiped her tears, filled half a bowl of soup, and picked up some boiled minced meat, and handed it to Du Shicheng.

The temperature of the duck soup was suitable, Du Shicheng took a sip of the soup on the side of the bowl, and pursed his shriveled lips with great satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, Du Shicheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, leaned on the quilt very comfortably, and habitually wanted to touch the cigarette stick behind his waist, but suddenly found that it was empty, and smiled at the three people standing on the ground with some sneer.

"Old woman, it's snowing outside, the road is slippery, but I have to trouble you to run and invite my uncle to come." Du Shicheng hugged the quilt and stared at the mud on Wei's knees and legs.

"It's going to be cold, what to do with my uncle, you still have to raise it, and wait for the snow to melt tomorrow." Seeing that he was in good spirits and able to eat, Wei mistakenly thought that he was getting better.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun." Du Shicheng turned his head to look out the window, there was a white expanse outside the window, and he was silent.

"What are you talking nonsense!" Wei Shi listened to his words and was shocked.

"If you are told to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense! In addition, I also called Daikin and Sanjin by the way. Du Shicheng frowned and said angrily.

"Well, you're used to torturing people." Wei was apprehensive, and when he saw that he was going to gather his two sons, he vaguely felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly went out.

Wei Shi met Du Huaibing who came in a hurry when he walked halfway down, she hurriedly told him, and hurried to find Dajin and Sanjin.

As soon as Zhou heard this, he immediately came to the spirit, and he came with Dajin behind him, Sanjin After yesterday's changes, people suddenly became depressed, and he was still wearing yesterday's jacket, and the stubble that came out overnight made him even more vicissitudes.

"Uncle, I'm causing you trouble again." Du Shicheng saw that everyone had arrived, and then he spoke.

"Shicheng nephew, you should worry less, the days to come will be longer." Du Huaibing sat down next to the table.

"Oh, uncle, my days are over, while I still have a breath, I have settled the old woman, I have lived with her for half a lifetime, and I have been noisy for half a lifetime, but after all, I have given birth to three sons, I will leave, leaving her alone in the world, and I can't stand her in the end." Du Shicheng's face was relaxed, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"The ...... of the house" Wei lifted his apron and wiped his eyes, at this moment, no matter how vicious the person was, he was full of thorns.

"Since you are talking about family matters, I better avoid it." Zhong Yu stood up and was about to leave.
