"Mother...... "Wu called her tentatively, "Are there any broken mats at home?" In which room? ”

Liu's eyelids lifted, but he didn't respond.

"Mother, do you know where the mat is?" Seeing this, Wu asked again.

Liu Shi glanced at her, cold, as if a knife had been pierced in his eyes, but he still didn't speak.

Wu was uncomfortable, but because Old Man Bai had just gone, he estimated that Liu was overly sad, so he didn't bother with her, sighed, turned his head and went to the Westinghouse to look for it.

After rummaging through the dusty furniture for a while, he finally found a mat that he didn't use, and Wu asked Bai Shao to borrow a hammer and two small nails to come back, ready to nail the mat to the door frame.

Bai Shao hesitated in her heart, and slowly walked to the gate of the Bai family, and was worried about who to borrow, when she suddenly saw a stunned young man standing at the door and smiling at her.

Hexiang tugged at Bai Shao's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Miss, this person is the one who came to report the news, and I heard that the lantern was also sent by them." ”

Bai Shao was a little surprised, raised her eyebrows, walked up to the young man, and asked, "Do you still have hammers and nails at home?" ”

"Yes, I'll go get it." The man obviously wanted to help, and when he heard Bai Shao ask like this, he immediately nodded excitedly and rushed home to get something.

When he came over with the hammer and nails, Bai Shao motioned for Hexiang to take it, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to help my family build a shed?" ”

The man nodded hurriedly and said happily, "Little ...... Since Miss said so, then leave this matter to me! ”

Bai Shao smiled, and was sure in his heart that this person was really here to slap his family, so he was not polite to him, and gave him a lot of work.

By the time Bai Chuanbai came back with a large pile of candles, paper money, and shroud coffins, the funeral shed at the door of Bai's house had already been erected.

Because it was already dawn at this time, Bai Chuanbai asked Zhao Long to inform Bai Chuanqiang Bai Chuanqiong one by one, as well as his three sisters who hardly interacted with each other.

The next step is to scrub your body, put on your shrouds, and so on.

Wu and Bai Shao, as female dependents, wanted to avoid suspicion, so they went out of the hall and stood in the courtyard to wait.

During this period, there were several sobbing cries from Bai Chuanbai in the east room, and Bai Shao, who listened to it, couldn't help but sour his nose.

When you put on your shroud, it's time to start the funeral.

Although the Bai family has fallen over the years and has a bad reputation, in the past, Old Man Bai was still quite prestigious in Shilipu, and he also had a lot of good karma, so there are still many people in the village who are willing to come over to help.

Of course, it is unknown how many of these people have looked at the face of the dead old man Bai, and how many people have looked at Bai Chuanbai's current net worth.

With the help of the villagers, many things were easier to do - cutting filial piety cloth, making filial piety clothes, eating, digging graves, and so on.

When it was about noon, as if it had been discussed, Bai Chuanqiang and Bai Chuanqiong came back together.

Originally, Bai Chuanbai was a little nervous about the brothers, but at this moment, when Old Man Bai was gone, family affection was very valuable.

After the three brothers hugged their heads and cried, it was as if all the disharmony of the past had disappeared.

Regarding Old Man Bai's funeral, the three brothers began to plan separately.

As if by default, the money will be paid by Shirakawa Bai, and the other two brothers will come out to do more work and so on.

Although Bai Shao was a little dissatisfied with their acquiescence in his heart, it was true that his family was not short of money, so he didn't raise any objections.

On the first night, because their son was going to keep vigil, Bai Shao and Wu went back to Baifu in Xieyang County first, and after barely resting for the night, they went to Shilipu before dawn the next day.

At noon that day, the three Bai family sisters, who were not far away, were late.

This is the first time Bai Shao has seen the three aunts, usually the old man Bai takes Bai Chuanbai to deliver things to their family, but they rarely come back - maybe Bai Shao came back in the years when Bai Shao was away, but as far as Bai Shao knew, they hadn't been back for at least two years.

Otherwise, Old Man Bai is so sick, how can they ignore it and not even be willing to pay for medical treatment?

However, to Bai Shao's surprise, as soon as they entered the Bai family, they all cried one after another, and their voices were earth-shattering, as if they contained infinite emotions.

Bai Shao was a little surprised, and pulled Wu's arm for some reason.

Wu patted her and explained in a low voice, "Crying and mourning, the more the children in the family cry, the more glorious the funeral will be." ”

It turns out that there are still these twists and turns......

Bai Shao pursed her lips and did not say no.

On the same day, because of the three more aunts, the Bai family's crying finally became loud - but whenever there was a wave of relatives who came to visit, they would cry a lot.

On the fourth day, the granddaughters of the Bai family's married family also returned.

Bai Zhi seems to have been doing well over the years, with a little boy of three or four years old, she is not shy and timid when she speaks, and she has matured a lot.

Bai Ying still has the spirit of a warrior as always, even if she has a big belly, when she sees Bai Shao, she doesn't want to rush towards her.

"Fifth sister...... she was a little excited, "Fifth sister, are you really the fifth sister?" ”

"It's me, Sister Yingzi." Bai Shao smiled and supported her somewhat stumbling figure, "I'm going to be a mother, walk slowly, even if it's not for myself, it's for the sake of the child." ”

"I know, I know." Bai Ying waved her hand, still looking interested, looked at Bai Shao carefully, and asked, "It's really getting more and more beautiful, if it wasn't for the third aunt telling me, I wouldn't have recognized it." ”

Bai Shao smiled and waved her hand, and just wanted to say something, she saw Wu struggling to hold a cauldron and came over, she hurriedly stepped forward to catch the other half of the cauldron, looked at the fried balls inside, and asked, "Mother, are you going to eat at noon today?" ”

Waiting for a meal, which means entertaining a meal, is generally used to entertain those busy villagers a few days before the happy event and funeral.

"That's right, the special master invited this time, the fried meatballs are crispy and fragrant, you can taste a few later." Wu said to her softly, "Because it takes too much time and effort to do this, our family hasn't done it for a long time." ”

"Alas, my sister likes to eat this more than me, but it's a pity that she is in Yanjing, too far." Bai Shao sighed, squatted down with Wu, put the big pot of vegetable balls in the cleaned east house, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he picked up a ball and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.

Because this kind of thing is fried repeatedly in large oil, although rapeseed oil is used, when pinching the balls, Bai Peony still feels a greasy smell on his face, and even breathing is a little uncomfortable.

She clutched her chest and took a deep breath before opening her mouth and stuffing the ball into her mouth.

At this time, Bai Ying happened to come to her, and when she saw her stuffing balls into her mouth, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, fifth sister, you actually ate here secretly, and you didn't call me, so how can I do it, I will eat it too......"

Before the words fell, Bai Shao, who was chewing the balls, suddenly felt a feeling of nausea in her chest.

She clutched her chest, didn't even have time to run out of the side room, could only lie behind the door, open her mouth, spit the half-rotten balls she chewed on the ground, and then retched desperately.

"Fifth sister......" Bai Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly came over and patted her on the back, "Are you okay?" ”

Bai Shao waved her hand at her, signaling that she was fine.

"Let's have a drink." Because Bai Ying is pregnant, she always carries a water bladder with her, and now seeing that Bai Shao is uncomfortable, she untied the water bladder on her waist and handed it to her.

Bai Shao took it, took two sips of warm water with the lid, and felt that the desire to retch was suppressed, so she straightened up and thanked Bai Ying with a smile, "Thank you so much, Fourth Sister." ”

Bai Ying took back the water bladder and said with a smile, "It's all a bit of effort, you probably haven't eaten breakfast, so it's disgusting to eat greasy things at first glance." ”

"But I ate it." Bai Shao glanced at the balls in the pot with some confusion, and suddenly smelled a greasy smell on the tip of his nose, and suddenly turned around, retching again.

Bai Ying patted Bai Shao's back, and a look of doubt rose in her eyes.

"No, no, I can't stay here anymore." Bai Shao's face was red, and after his heart was barely comfortable, he couldn't wait to rush out of the east side house.

Breathing in the fresh and clean air outside, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally felt comfortable, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to eat lunch......"

"Fifth sister......" Bai Ying's eyes became more and more hesitant, looking at Bai Shao's retching behavior, she remembered a possibility.

But...... She glanced at Bai Shao's dress as a girl, and she was a little unsure, so she didn't say the question in her heart.

When it was time for lunch, it was really vegetable ball soup, and Bai Peony couldn't eat it, so he asked Han Lian to buy some pastries and barely managed to deal with it.

Naturally, the afternoon was endlessly busy, but because the retching thing at noon was known to the Wu family, the Wu family did not allow her to work, and asked her to sit in the hall and not move.

Bai Shao was bored in her heart, and the most important thing was that she didn't like to sit with Liu, so she quietly went to the Westinghouse.

The place where the Bai Lao family used to live, and later after the Bai Lao family's family moved away, it was vacant and filled with a lot of sundries.

Rao is like this, and it is much better than sitting in front of Liu.

Thinking like this, Bai Shao found a small stool and sat down.

Later, because she hadn't slept well for the past few days, and she had just retched, she was a little tired, and she actually fell asleep leaning against the back of the Westinghouse.

By the time she woke up, it was almost dark, and the villagers who had come to help had already gone back to their respective homes, leaving only Bai Chuanbai and Wu with two maids who were cleaning up the leftovers in the yard.

Bai Shao rubbed her eyes, and just wanted to stand up to help, when suddenly, there was a muttering sound in the hall.

That was Liu's voice.

"I'll tell you, just tomorrow, tomorrow hurry up and have a showdown with the third child, this money can't be less, you help and ask for it, I will also give you a little ......"

Immediately afterwards, it was Bai Laosi's voice.

"Mother, it's not good to ask for money so bluntly."

"And what do you want?" Liu glared at him, "What do you do?" ”

"Mother, listen to me, why did my father die, can you have no points in your old heart? Why did my third brother die as soon as he came back? Why didn't he die sooner or later, but he died when he came back? Mother, you always think about ......", a better user experience.
