Chapter 125: Funeral
The days began to get busy, and Jiang Xi also left the matter of Liu Blind behind him.
The family's house was almost built, and behind the original house, three new rooms were built, and a backyard was besieged.
The backyard is a little wider than the front yard, and next to the previous yard, a path has been opened up to pass through.
In the backyard, a thatched house and a kitchen were rebuilt.
The thatched hut in the front yard was opened up and turned into a large house, which could be used to raise pigs.
As for the kitchen in the front yard, it was also opened up and became a room for stacking miscellaneous items.
Now that the family has more land, they have also bought a lot of farm tools, which used to be piled up outside the yard, but in the middle of summer, there was too much rain, and they were worried that they would be drenched, so they moved them all here.
In the backyard, every house has been built with an earthen kang, and the winter in the north is too cold, and it is difficult to live without an earthen kang.
Jiang Xi planned that when the house was repaired, she and the Li family would move to the back.
As for the original house between her and the Li family, Yuan Xiu can move in.
The old man and the old lady also have to move to the back, and there are three rooms in the back, the middle one is the largest, and it just so happens that the old man and the old lady live in it. Jiang Xi and Li lived in two rooms next to each other.
Things are well arranged, but people are not as good as heaven in the end.
The day after the house was built, the old lady finally died.
The day she left was very peaceful, there was no noise or noise, at that time Jiangxi was settling the wages of the palace people, and the old man and the Li family were in the house to accompany her.
The old lady looked at the roof with a smile and slowly left in the old man's arms......
Jiang Xi settled the account, and the old lady had just taken her last breath.
In the end, the old lady still couldn't see her son, and when she left, she was also full of regrets.
The old man accompanied her by the bedside, Jiang Xi watched all this silently, and couldn't help but think of last year, when she first arrived here, the old lady ate a little sorghum rice and thought about her, and wanted to share half of her.
Tears poured out inadvertently.
The chief worker and the daughter-in-law of Erzhu in the courtyard all learned the news and were busy working outside one by one.
The shroud was prepared by the Li family before.
The coffin has also been made a long time ago.
Ever since the old lady was in poor health, they had been preparing these things. In this era, the coffin is made early, and it can also achieve the effect of rushing joy.
Li and Erzhu's daughter-in-law helped to clean and change the old lady's clothes, and at night, they finally let the old lady lie in the coffin with dignity.
Jiangxi's family did not set up a mourning hall, and the old man also said that the old lady was not used to living in other houses, so she had to get it in their original house.
That night, the old man and the old lady spent their last night in the house.
The next morning, Jiang Xi saw that the old man's eyes were dark, and knew that he must have stayed awake all night.
The house in the inner courtyard had been covered with quilts, Jiangxi persuaded the old man to go over and sleep, the old man shook his head, and the whole person looked very haggard, as if he had aged several years overnight.
"Xi'er, Ye is not sleepy, and Ye and your grandmother are used to living in that room, and Ye doesn't want to move to other places."
The old lady's funeral was held at noon that day, and many people came to the village, even the Shen family, who sent Steward Shen over. The old lady's sister, Wang, also came, and when she entered the door, her eyes were glancing everywhere.
In the past two months, there have been a lot of changes in the Jiangxi family, especially after hearing that Jiangxi and they have harvested thousands of catties of grain, the Wang family can't wait to fly over here.
It's just that Jiangxi has a dog called Huzi, a dog, a dog that is a few months old, and it is stronger than other people's families for more than a year, and it is a big wolf dog, which makes people scary when they look at it.
I don't know if the dog has an enmity with her, and every time he sees her, he barks wildly, which is why she doesn't dare to come to the door for so long.
Today, the old lady died, and almost the whole village came to mourn, and the wolf dog was said to have been tied up, and she had a chance to come in the backyard.
Wang thought to himself that the death of the old lady must be a good opportunity given to her by God.
God saw that their family was having a bad time, and they couldn't come to the Jiang family to ask for money, so they went to the shop to make trouble and were arrested by the government, so they let the old lady die, and then let her take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Looking at the Jiang family's newly built three main rooms and three side rooms, sour water bubbled up in Wang's heart.
Who is building so many houses to live in, there are only a few people in the Jiang family, and one is an outsider, with all this money, it is better to give it to them. Anyway, he has a son.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Wang became, feeling that Jiang Xi and they were too unlucky.
"My short-lived sister must have been by them like this!" The more Wang thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
She mingled in the crowd and slowly walked into the house.
Of course, she must not have gone to the room where the old lady's coffin and body were kept, dead man, so she should not go to see it, don't go back at night and have nightmares.
She went directly to the lobby, saw some pastries, sweets and melon seeds on the table, reached out and grabbed them, and stuffed them into her pocket.
One shove wasn't enough, and she went to grab a second one......
The contents of both plates, almost all of them went into her bag, and she stretched out her claws towards the third plate.
This time, she didn't go so smoothly and was stopped directly by someone.
It's a man in the village, and he also came to mourn today.
On weekdays, although they and the Jiang family are not too close, the Jiang family are good people, and if this happens, they will not be stingy to run.
The man grabbed Wang's arm and said with great disdain: "What are you doing when you come to someone's house, you won't come to steal food." ”
Seeing that Wang wanted to explain, the man spoke directly and blocked her words.
"I've been paying attention to you here for a long time, and I didn't have enough food to eat on one plate, and then I went to get a second plate, and you really think this is your own home. I point to a face, and I don't! ”
was scolded by the younger generations, or scolded in front of so many people, the key is that he hasn't paid attention to it, Wang is angry and angry.
When he opened his mouth, he called.
"It's not my family, it's not yours, I take as much as I like, what's your business! You shameless thing, even my old woman's hand grabs, what are you trying to do! ”
Wang's ability to reverse black and white is very strong, and the man was so angry that his face turned red when he was so scolded by her, and he had to let go of her arm.
Seeing that this trick worked, Wang continued to cry, saying that he wanted the man to pay her money or something.
Many people gathered here, watching Wang's sprinkling, and the man was even more angry and stomped his feet.
"You old shrew, you still want to rely on me today!"
Erzhu was just busy with the things behind, and when he passed by, he heard Wang's shouting, and saw a group of people surrounding there, so he subconsciously walked over.
The main family is holding a funeral today, but nothing can happen here, Erzhu thought, he is the one who takes the money to do things in the Jiang family, and he must not let the main family get into any trouble under his nose.
As soon as he walked over, Erzhu saw Wang rolling on the ground.
Wang's person, who in the whole village doesn't know her, when her husband was in the right place, she was a little more restrained, and in the past six months, she has simply refreshed the lower limit of the people in the village.
The key is that she is a person who plays all kinds of tricks, everyone can only pinch their noses and suffer a little grievance, and no one wants to argue with such a person.
Seeing the Wang family, Erzhu's face was half darkened, and he really wanted to drive the Wang family out, but he knew that the Wang family was the old lady's only blood sister, and he couldn't say anything about driving people away on this occasion today.
So, he could only retreat and quickly tell his daughter-in-law, who was busy in the kitchen, about the situation.
When Erzhu's daughter-in-law heard this, she hurriedly went to the house and told Li and Jiangxi.
Li was sad at this time, from the time the old lady left to the present, her eyes were red, and Jiang Xi kept persuading her beside her.
Hearing the news, Li became angry on the spot.
"Why do you say that my mother has such a sister as her, what day is today, she dares to mess around there!"
Erzhu's daughter-in-law also nodded and said: "I know that today is a big day, the old lady is gone, everyone is sad, she has no heart and no lungs, even the three-year-old child is not as good." ”
"Aunt Liu, you go to the kitchen first, I'll go out and take a look at the things in the front yard." After sending away the second pillar daughter-in-law, Jiangxi said to the Li family again, "Mother, don't be too sad, now the people in the village who have come to mourn are here, and the master has to accompany Steward Shen and Lizheng them, some female relatives in the village, you should also go out to greet them, otherwise others will say that our family doesn't know etiquette."
As for the second aunt and grandmother, I'll solve it, and I don't believe that she can still go to heaven. ”
Li wiped away his tears and walked outside with Jiangxi, as soon as the daughters-in-law in the village saw Li coming out with red eyes, they all came over to persuade her not to be sad, Jiangxi saw that there were so many people accompanying Li, so he walked out of the lobby with confidence.
The Wang family is still sprinkling, and there are more and more people gathered here, except for the man who is full of anger, everyone else has a funny look.
As soon as Jiang Xi walked in, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.
She glanced down and saw that Wang's appearance at the moment really looked like he had escaped from some mental hospital.
"Second aunt and grandmother, you said that you came, why didn't you call a personal report, Xiaohu would be very happy if he knew."
The word Xiaohu shocked Wang's heart, and the crying immediately stopped.
She just lay on the ground and looked at Jiang Xi, to be precise, looking at Jiang Xi's eyes, thinking about whether what Jiang Xi said was true or false.
After a while, she suddenly spoke: "There are so many people today, you can't let Xiaohu out!" ”
"That's not necessarily, in case there are people in our family who shouldn't enter, but we still have to rely on Xiaohu to help us get out."
Wang immediately jumped up, pointed at Jiang Xi and scolded him.
"You murderer of a thousand knives, you dare to say that I shouldn't have come in, your family killed my sister, and now you want to kick me out, your heart, why is it so dark!"
