"Nephew, your mother's business, you have to make it clear, at the beginning, but the contract was made, your mother is only your son, you can't do things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, not even your own mother..." Tian's eldest brother said first, and the two aunts and mothers-in-law only wiped their tears on the side.

"Two uncles, two aunts, don't worry. It's just that now is not the time to talk about that. My aunt and uncle are also old, so it is better to go back and rest first, and we will tell the elders if there is anything. Also, today's matter, I hope that the elders will keep it in their hearts, after all, it is not a decent thing. ”

"This is natural. We know what is important. Several elders nodded in agreement, after all, the Tian family also owed a human life, and it was not a glorious thing. After speaking, the four of them went to see Tian again and instructed Tian a few words.

Originally, Zeng Ruiqing asked Kangping to arrange a car to give away, but they all refused, and it was not far away, saying that it would not add to the chaos, and Xiao Tian would not go home, and it was estimated that the old man would not be able to survive tonight, so he simply followed Da Tian back to live for one night.

The old aunt originally wanted to stay, but Zeng Ruiqing still asked her to go back first, worried that she wouldn't be able to stand this meeting, and said: "Auntie, I have met the face that should be seen, and I have said what I should say and what I shouldn't say, your old man is also old and in poor health, in case there is something good, how can we afford it?" With her daughter's consent, she was forcibly sent back.

Zeng sat in front of the bed, took the old man's hand, and cried and said: "Even you have to leave me first, I have no hope in my life, we will meet soon, and I won't stay to give you a ride, don't worry." Your sons and grandchildren are all promising, and when they see their fathers and mothers, they have something to say, unlike me, in this life. Nothing was left. ”

Another line of tears flowed out of the corners of the old man's eyes, "Sister, don't say that." If I didn't have you, I couldn't have Ruixiang, and the Zeng family didn't have this glory, I met my father and told my father and mother that my eldest sister planned a good son for me. (Leaves·~..)"

"If you really think like this, this is the only thing that the eldest sister has done right in her life. It's a pity, I'm sorry Xiaohui, you saw her, make amends for me, and said it wouldn't take long. I'll go to her and admit my mistake myself. Zeng said crying, holding the old man's hand and couldn't bear to leave.

It was still the old man who closed his eyes and stopped looking at her, and Zeng turned around and left in one step.

At this time, Chunyu and his wife cried and stepped forward, and the old man rested for a while, glanced at them, and said, "If Ermao can save a life, let him change his life." In the future, when I leave, you are not allowed to bother your second brother's family anymore, you should live your own life, you should also learn to rely on yourself, otherwise. No one can save you. ”

Chunyu listened to it and cried, and was lifted out by Zeng Ruiqing with a black face, Xia Yu and Qiu Yu approached, and the old man looked at them and said: "Your two fathers are not worried, Dad knows that your life is getting better and better, and it is stained with your second brother's light." In the future, no matter what your second brother does, you should not be hateful. Also, Qiuyu, you are closer to your mother, and in the future, your mother, I am afraid that you will have to do more snacks. ”

This is also the last thing that the old man can think about for Tian, and he also knows that Tian may not have a good life with Zeng Ruiqing, but if he doesn't tell Zeng Ruixiang's life experience, after he leaves, Tian will definitely find trouble with Zeng Ruixiang endlessly, and when a hat of great filial piety is pressed down, Zeng Ruixiang can't refuse if he wants to. It's better to say it like this, everyone recognizes each other's identities, and he can leave without worry.

Xia Yu and Qiu Yu also knelt down and agreed, and the old man pulled Mu Mu and Xiaowen alone and instructed them to study hard and be motivated.

Zeng Ruiqing asked Qiu Yu in a low voice if her clothes were ready, Qiu Yu nodded, and cried and said: "It's not good to see my father in the autumn, so I prepared it and secretly put it in the school. ”

Only then did Ziqing know that the wrapped clothes were prepared by her daughter. [~]

Zeng Ruiqing listened to it and sent Qiuyu and his family to fetch it in person.

Ziqing saw that Zeng Ruiqing arranged everything in an orderly manner, Zeng Ruixiang was only immersed in his own sadness, he really couldn't help, and he was a little tired, so he took Ziyu home first. After the impact of this afternoon, the two had no conversation, and they each rested.

However, Ziqing was also tossing and turning while lying on the bed, thinking about poor Xiaohui, who did she provoke, she was raped for no reason, and she couldn't make a noise, just because the other party was the younger brother of her benefactor's cousin, but who expected the other party to be such a responsible person. had already avoided all this, and God had blessed her with a child, and before she had time to rejoice, everything went back to the beginning. I thought that I had found a support, and Mr. Xiao was also kind-hearted, but he didn't expect that fortune and misfortune would depend on each other, even though he was reluctant to miss his newborn son in every way, after all, he still died and died, leaving a sigh in vain.

At the beginning of the child, Lin Kangping came home to change his clothes, saying that the old man was not good, and he couldn't even feed the water, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get over tonight.

Ziqing had to get up when she heard this, called Ziyu, and followed Lin Kangping over.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a figure of longing, and the hall was also full of people, and the fourth generation of the Zeng family basically came, except for the two babies of the Zixi family and the Zishou family, who stayed at home and were taken care of by the maid.

The rest are Ziping's family, Da Mao's family, and Gui Ying's family, all of whom came in the evening just after being notified.

Ziqing hadn't seen Gui Ying for several years, dressed as a typical peasant woman, looking at the strong traces of time, presumably the days were very hard. When Ziqing saw herself enter the door, Gui Ying gritted her teeth and glanced at Lin Kangping and herself, there was grievance, hatred, and jealousy, in short, it was very complicated. However, at this time, Ziqing didn't bother to care.

Zeng Ruiqing, Zeng Ruixiang and Zifu were still in the house with the old man, while Chunyu was guarding the Tian family. After a while, I only heard shouting inside: "Dad, Dad" and Zifu crying "Grandpa".

After a while, I saw Zhou and Shen come out with red eyes, and they were busy building a simple bed with stools and planks in the hall, laying straw, and a few people moved the old man to the hall.

At this time, I saw Chunyu crawling out on her knees and crying: "Dad, Dad, I am your eldest daughter Chunyu, you open your eyes and look at me, who cares about me if you leave?" Pity me for not having enough food and clothing all year round, and I haven't honored you, you are leaving, who am I going to honor? ”

"Okay, it's all here, you're embarrassed to say this, what did you do earlier? If it weren't for you, our dad would have lived a few more years. Who will cry to? You have to have this heart, can dad do this? Thousands of explanations, parents can't be stimulated, have you listened? I use that little bit of bad things in your family to annoy my father and mother all day long, but now it's okay, I can't bother it if I want to. Qiu Yu shouted at Chun Yu.

"Okay, dad is like this, you don't have to say a few words." Xia Yu also came out crying.

The old man seemed to hear the shouts of Chunyu, raised his eyelids, his lips moved, he couldn't speak, everyone hurriedly shouted, Zeng Ruiqing looked at it, and took the lead in kneeling, at this time, the sons and daughters-in-law of the Zeng family, grandsons, granddaughters-in-law and the fourth generation all knelt down, crying and burning the paper money sent off.

Mu Mu and Wanqing's grandchildren stayed in the house with Tian, and Tian didn't speak or cry, just opened his eyes.

Chunyu, Xia Yu, and Qiuyu entered the stove room with Ziping, Ziqing, and Ziyu, and said that the married daughter and granddaughter couldn't look at their mother's family and close their eyes, saying what they said, "The woman is sent to the end, and her life is empty." ”

Lin Kangping made a brazier for Ziqing and them, and several people sat and waited silently with tears, listening to a burst of shouts of "father" and "grandfather" from time to time in the hall, Ziyu grabbed Ziqing's hand, the two leaned on each other, and I don't know how long it took, there was gradually a glimmer of light outside the window, and suddenly there was a heart-rending cry in the hall, this is the old man.

The three aunts began to cry in the stove room, Zeng Ruiqing came out with a bucket, took Ziquan to the river to fetch water, came back to scrub and change clothes for the old man, and then changed to a dilapidated door panel.

After dawn, Zeng Ruiqing sent people to deliver letters everywhere and said to Zeng Ruixiang: "Second brother, this feng shui gentleman is afraid that you will have to invite him personally." ”

Mr. Feng Shui is from another village, because he has always had a good relationship with Zeng Ruixiang, and his children are still in Zeng Ruixiang's school to study. At this time, Zeng Ruixiang had to come forward in person.

As soon as Mr. Feng Shui came, he said that Ziqing and Ziyu could not attend the funeral, but fortunately, Ziqing and Ziyu had been staying in the stove room and had not yet entered the hall.

The time of entering the coffin is set in the afternoon, because the New Year is approaching, the day of the funeral is set three days later, the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, the family sacrifice is set on the twenty-seventh of the lunar month, and the guest sacrifice is set on the twenty-eighth of the lunar month.

The mourners gradually came, but there was no one at home to help with things, Zeng Ruixiang was not in charge, plus the double blow, the grief was excessive, and his body was like a serious illness, so Shen had to stay with him all the time. Chunyu is not a top thing, Xia Yu's body is not good, and under the grief, he also fell ill. Qiuyu wants to take care of the Tian family, and the Tian family is now like ashes, not much different from a living dead. Otherwise, Qiu Yu couldn't take care of it. had to ask Zhou Yunjiang to help take care of the housekeeping and prepare the things for the funeral guests.

As in the past, it is generally the family that takes the initiative to help first, responsible for receiving the funeral and the back kitchen, and also invites the eight immortals in the village who are responsible for white affairs to be in charge, and these eight immortals are mainly responsible for carrying the old man into the ancestral hall into the coffin, sealing the coffin, and carrying the funeral up the mountain.

However, one is the root of the year, who is not busy preparing for the New Year? The two know that Zeng Ruiqing is the eldest son, he is in charge, Zeng Ruiqing always holds the shelf on weekdays, who can take the initiative to step forward? (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )..
