There was a squirming movement behind him, and Jiang seemed to quickly close the window.

Erniu's nose poked into the window screen, poking a hole in the thin window screen, revealing a wet black nose.

Jiang seemed to turn around, and saw that Xie Qingqi just turned over, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around again.

The swarthy nose moved, and it was still honestly stuck in the punctured hole.

The curtain screen vaguely reflects the outline of a large dog.

Jiang seemed to twitch the corners of his mouth and opened the window again.

The big dog looked at Jiang with an innocent face, as if he knew that he couldn't wake up the others, so he was very obedient and silent.

"I'll get you something to eat later, and then I'll get back, you know?" Jiang seemed to think that Erniu was a little distressed when he was hungry, and he was afraid that he would be discovered, so he whispered.

"Who are you talking to?"

Jiang seemed to hurriedly turn around, and saw that Xie Qingqi had already sat up, his eyes swollen into walnuts, with a haze that he had not yet awakened.

Erniu cleverly hid back under the window.

Jiang seemed to walk back: "I see that the weather is good, so I am talking to myself." ”

Xie Qingqi didn't suspect it, called the maid in, washed up in a daze, and sat numbly at the table with breakfast.

There was only a bowl of gruel for breakfast in front of her.

According to the rules, my parents have just passed away, and there will be no bowl of gruel for three days, so I can only drink water. But rules are dead, people are alive. Not to mention Xie Qingji's delicate girl's family, even if a sturdy man doesn't eat for three days and only drinks water, crying during the day and keeping vigil at night, I'm afraid it will be almost ruined after three days.

The meat can't be touched, and the porridge is not criticized.

In addition to a bowl of gruel, Jiang seemed to have two more vegetarian buns in front of him.

The vegetarian buns are only bigger than a child's fist, and two buns and a bowl of porridge are enough, but thinking of the two cows at the root of the window, Jiang seems to be a little worried.

Xie Qingqi didn't have the slightest appetite, he didn't want to eat any more after drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, and he took a spoon and stirred the gruel for a while.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about me, eat it while it's hot, if it's not enough, let the maid bring some more."

Jiang seemed to be silent, and said cheekily: "Then bring ten more buns." ”

The maid who was standing aside and waiting, lost her voice and said, "Ten? ”

Xie Qingqi glared at the maid: "Mouthy!" Go to the end. ”

I didn't expect Ah Xiang to have such a big appetite, and sure enough, people will always change when they grow up.

Soon a plate of vegetarian buns was served, the buns were evenly wrinkled, the skin was thin and the filling was large, and they were neatly stacked in a white porcelain plate.

The maid quietly looked at the ginger, and it was difficult to hide her surprise.

Jiang couldn't help frowning.

staring so closely, how does she feed Erniu?

"There are unfamiliar people I can't eat, you can go down for the time being."

Seeing that Xie Qingqi did not object, the maid retreated silently.

Xie Qingqi ate absent-mindedly, and sometimes wandered, Jiang seemed to take this opportunity to throw a vegetarian bun out the window, and when a plate of steamed buns bottomed out, he was tired and sweaty.

She knew that Yu Qi was a troublemaker!

"It's time for my grandfather's house to come today." Walking on the way to the mourning hall, Xie Qingqi said softly.

Jiang seemed to pat the back of Xie Qingqi's hand and gave silent support.

In the mourning hall, Xie Yinlou was kneeling and burning paper.

Under the licking of the tongue of fire, the paper money turned into a gray butterfly and was swept away by the wind, and the young man's expression was focused, and his face was like ice and snow.

"Big brother-" When Xie Qingqi saw Xie Yinlou, tears couldn't help but rise.

Xie Yinlou paused, raised his eyes to look at Xie Qingqi, and then looked at Jiang Yi, and bowed his head in salute.

Xie Qingqi knelt beside Xie Yinlou, took a stack of paper money in his hand and lit it, muttering.

"You and Fourth Sister Jiang go to sit inside first, and then come out when relatives and friends come."

"Big brother, I want to be with you."

Xie Yinlou's expression was cold: "Obedient." ”

Xie Qingqi now has only one close relative left in Xie Yinlou, so he naturally won't refute his brother's words, so he got up silently and went inside.

During the day, people came to mourn one after another, and if a female dependent came, Xie Qingqi would come out to return the gift.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhibin shouted: "Uncle and wife of Hedong Zhang's family have arrived." ”

The Hedong Zhang family is the maiden family of Mrs. Yongchangbo and is a local family.

Soon a crowd of people poured in, crying.

Several women hugged Xie Qingqi and cried, and hugged each other into the inner hall.

One of the women wiped her tears and hugged Xie Qingqi tightly: "Child, it's really hard for you, the eldest aunt is late." ”

A group of women, both old and young, surrounded Xie Qingqi and expressed sympathy.

On this occasion, Jiang seemed to have to quietly reduce his sense of existence.

"Who is in charge of the affairs of the house now?" The woman asked.

Xie Qing was silent and cried.

The woman exchanged glances with the others, and her heart was just a little girl, where did she understand these mundane things.

"Qingqi, when your grandmother heard that your mother was gone, she fainted and was still reading your name in her sleep. The old lady can't rest assured of you. The woman wiped away her tears and changed the subject, "Don't be afraid, with me and your uncle here, you will definitely handle your parents' affairs well, and never let others bully you when you are young." ”

"I don't understand this, my aunt should go and tell my brother." Xie Qingqi said.

The woman was stunned and said softly: "Okay, go back and ask your aunt to tell your eldest brother, it just so happens that your uncle also has something to tell your eldest brother." ”

Seeing Xie Qingji's ignorant appearance, the woman didn't say anything more, and continued to cry about the lives of the Xie family brothers and sisters.

At noon, Xie Yinlou urged Xie Qingqi to go back to the house to rest, but he himself looked tired, and even his lips were dry and peeling.

Xie Qingqi wanted to persuade his brother to take a rest, but he knew that the huge uncle's mansion could only rely on his brother to support him now, even if she tried to persuade him, it would be useless, it would only make his brother upset, so he didn't mention it and honestly went back to the room.

She really doesn't understand many things, but she understands that obeying her brother's arrangement at this time is the greatest understanding.

Jiang seemed to quietly remind: "Qingqi, I think my uncle's wife may have other thoughts besides condolences, so you should be careful." ”

Xie Qingqi nodded slightly, leaving a maid to stare here.

The two went back to the house, washed their faces and hands, and not long after they rested, the maid hurried over, with a gloomy expression: "Big girl, Mrs. Uncle and Mrs. Eighth are fighting." ”

The "Eighth Wife" in the maid's mouth was the woman who talked to Xie Qingqi when Jiang Yi came over yesterday.

Xie Qingqi moved his eyelids, and his voice was indifferent: "What are you fighting for?" Who will be the steward for us? ”

Obviously, Xie Qingqi didn't know anything when his uncle asked him just now, but in fact, he didn't understand anything.

She knows it in her heart, and it is precisely because of it that she realizes more and more how sad it is to haunt her parents and rely on the two mountains.

She really only has her brother now.

The maid looked strange: "No, Mrs. Uncle and Mrs. Eighth are competing for the family affairs of the prince Zhang Luo, saying that the uncle is not the head of the house, and it is not the case that the uncle is not the housewife, and he will not have to wait for another three years to end the family affairs while he is filial piety, and it can be regarded as comforting the soul of the uncle and the uncle in the sky." ”

When Xie Qingqi heard this, his face immediately changed.
