The groggy Du Mei took her three younger sisters, followed by the black girl who was wagging her tail, crossed the brazier outside the courtyard, ate sugar cake and sweet tea, and returned to Du's house. She hasn't closed her eyes for almost three days and two nights, and she used to hold on to her father's funeral, but now that her father is in the ground, most of her heart has gone.

After washing her face, Du Mei pushed open the door and saw Xu lying on the bed weakly, so she briefly told her about the funeral, and Xu nodded distressedly.

In the kitchen, the woman who came to help in the village had already prepared the meal, and held a banquet in the courtyard, surrounded by relatives and friends who were mourning.

On this occasion, women and children are not allowed to serve at the table. Du Mei took a bowl of corn rice, picked up a few chopsticks and vegetables, and brought them into the house to Xu.

Then, she led her three younger sisters to stand in the kitchen, ate a bowl of soup and rice, and didn't care about Zhou's murderous eyes, so she went back to the house and fell asleep.

Du Mei slept until the sun went down.

"Isn't that a great achievement? Stealing and hiding lazy, I want to eat ready-made! Zhou shouted loudly in the courtyard.

The black girl yelled at Zhou's Wangwang, eager to pounce on Zhou's.

"Where did this brute come from, there are a bunch of idle food in this house, how can there be surplus food to feed the dogs!" Zhou's mouth was vicious, but his body unconsciously shrank into the kitchen.

It was so loud that it woke up the sleeping Du Mei.

The daily cooking of tea and rice is done in the second room, and the second gold is gone, Xu's is too sad and can't get out of bed, Du Mei just slept for a few more hours, but Zhou's can't let him do anything.

Du Shicheng and Wei were lying in their own room, and they had seven children together, and these three brothers lived.

Sanjin is a showman, he can't lift his hands, he can't carry his shoulders, he can't distinguish between grains, and he can't distinguish between wheat and leeks. The boss is a good way to do farm work, but Du Shicheng has to make arrangements for everything. Only Erjin has a lively mind, a good heart and filial piety, but good people don't live long. When the second gold is gone, the old couple seems to have lost half of their lives.

Seeing that Xu couldn't stand it and wanted to get up, Du Mei got up: "Mother, don't get up, I'll go." ”

"It's useless!" Xu wiped tears again. Du Mei put on his gown, without a tear in his eyes, smiled at his mother, pushed the door and went out.

"What time is it, don't cook yet, lazy!" Zhou saw Du Mei walking towards the kitchen and continued to chatter and count.

"Who is the lazy scolding?" didn't sleep enough, Du Mei was unhappy.

"It's you who scolds the lazy guy!" Seeing that Du Mei still dared to argue, Zhou's waist raised his voice.

The three little ones also followed to the kitchen to help, and when they heard what Zhou said, they all quietly covered their mouths and snickered.

Seeing this situation, Zhou realized that he was surrounded by Du Mei. She grabbed Du Gui's back collar and raised her hand to hit.

"Stop! My father has only been there for three days, and you dare to beat and scold our sisters, so you are not afraid that my father will come to you! Du Meiyi grasped Zhou's raised arm.

When the black girl saw Du Mei, she ran like crazy, stood up with her two paws, and stuck out her tongue at Zhou, as if she was ready to bite a bloody hole in her at any moment. Zhou was startled and was about to have a seizure.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew the fallen leaves on the ground. Zhou only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he shivered coldly. She let go of her hand in confusion and fled back to her room with no mercy on her lips.

"Sister, is my father really here?" Du Gui, who was free from the clutches of the devil, asked with tears on his face.

"Well, my father is gone, and my sister will take care of you in the future." Du Mei hugged Du Gui, and Du Ying and Du Tao were also next to her.

I was away from home for a few days, the kitchen was a mess, and although the village helpers also helped wash the dishes and wash the pots, they were not at home, and things were thrown everywhere.

The funeral was busy for three days, and there was a little leftover in the kitchen, and it was not bad, but it was frozen hard.

Du Mei put the rest of the rice together, put most of the pot of water on it, and set up a fire to burn it. At noon, there are still some green vegetables and tofu left, and when the pot is boiling, pour them together, and a pot of green vegetable porridge is ready.

Smelling the fragrance of rice, the Dafang family was reincarnated like a starving ghost, huhula and drank it. Du Mei sent her three younger sisters to bring food to her grandmother and mother, and went to invite the third uncle's family.

The brunette has no interest in porridge and doesn't know what it's eating outside. Du Mei decided to hand over the black girl to Du Shu for the time being, if she stayed at home, she might be killed by the big house to eat meat if she wasn't careful.

The family of five in Dafang was full, and the soles of their feet were oiled and left, and Xie also stood up and went out. Du Mei knew that they had not helped her in the slightest when her father was there, and now that he was gone, there was no need to count on it.

The three younger sisters were very capable, washed the pots and dishes, and put the things in the kitchen together. Du Mei took advantage of the moonlight to draw water from the well in the yard to wash sweet potatoes, and it was tomorrow's breakfast.

The days are back to normal, but there is one less son, a husband, and a father in this family. is like the waning moon in the sky, miserable and miserable.
