Chapter 56, Opening the Coffin 2
Bai He frowned strugglingly, she opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to say, she breathed deeply, trying to calm herself.
"Yuanyuan, I know very well, I really know what I'm talking about, what I'm doing, I really can't take the child with me, if I can come back, I will definitely come back, but now, I can't take her with me."
"I can help you watch the child'......"
"Not really!" Bai He roared, she raised her hand and waved uncontrollably at the sides of her body, "Jiang Yuanyuan, I'...... I really can only ask you, please, count me to you, you take her, she... She's all I've had. ”
Bai He turned around, her shoulders trembled a few times, and Jiang Yuanyuan clenched her fists.
"Yuanyuan, growing up so big, although I have been arguing with you, I have always regarded you as my only friend, except for you, I can only give the child to my mother......"
“… Good! Jiang Yuanyuan let go of her hand, "I'll help you take care of your child, no matter what, your child is still your child, when she grows up, I will still tell her that her mother's name is Bai He, no matter if you come back or not." ”
Bai He's shoulders trembled even more, she raised her hand to cover her face, Jiang Yuanyuan raised her hand to comfort her, but she couldn't put this hand down, she looked at Bai He's trembling crying, her thin shoulders were slightly retracted forward, bearing a lot of bitterness and pain.
"Yuanyuan, thank you." Bai He said, she suddenly ran away with her skirt, Jiang Yuanyuan chased two steps, and did not walk out of the door after all.
Closing the door, Jiang Yuanyuan put her head against the door and thought for a long time, she didn't know what would make Bai He give up her child, and even expressed the idea that she would not come back, she didn't understand Bai He's mood.
Jiang Xuan walked out of the room, although she walked very lightly and slowly, Jiang Yuanyuan still felt it, she turned around and leaned against the door, and slightly twisted her eyebrows.
"White Lotus, what's wrong?" Jiang Xuan scratched his head.
"I don't know, who knows."
Today is a good day, it is advisable to break ground, and avoid marrying.
Second Uncle Jiang got up early, and started walking around the yard before dawn, he couldn't sleep, his heart was uneasy, and he was pacing with his hands behind his back, the more Second Uncle Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a matter, but his daughter said that this matter was not so simple, and of course he was a rough person who didn't understand anything.
When Aunt Jiang got up, she heard shallow footsteps outside the door, and knew what the head of her family was worried about, but after all, she couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, so she simply let the man want to go by himself.
Unable to lie on the bed, Aunt Jiang thought that there was a lot of things today, and she got up quickly, she hurriedly went to cook and finished all the things at home, but she didn't have time to eat, so she hurriedly called the head of the house to eat and ran to Jiang Xuan's house with a basket.
Jiang Xuan felt that he was really tired, since Chen Mofan left his house, all the things in the family were done by him alone, and he could bear it on weekdays, but today, it was really class, no, it was not dawn today, he was dug out of the bed by Jiang Yuanyuan, he felt extremely lucky, he ran four or five families in the morning and moved a bunch of tables and chairs back, finally he could take a breath, and was instructed to drag vegetables back, this is not over, and he has to start borrowing dishes again.
Busy like a spinning top, I finally thought I had taken care of everything, and I had to run out to buy incense.
When I came back, I found that I still had to make a fire.
"Jiang Xuan, the fire should be bigger." The second aunt said loudly, "Hurry up, it's not too early." ”
"Brother, help me cut the meat here." Jiang Yuanyuan shouted, "I see that the time is almost up, it's coming, you hurry up and finish it, and then go out to greet the guests." ”
With a wooden face, he walked over and cut the meat, hurriedly washed his hands and ran out to greet the guests, thinking that people could drink saliva and rest before they came, but before the buttocks were next to the bench, someone came.
The meal in the morning is not very big, five tables, there are two tables in the courtyard, there is one table outside the courtyard, the two tables inside are mainly the positions of an authoritative elder in the village and some people who are going to help open the coffin today, and the three tables outside are some people who help.
There are not many relatives of the Jiang family, just a big house and two bedrooms, and the population is not large, so there are more friends who have a good relationship with the Jiang family on weekdays, and a few families who move around to help, take a hand or something, and then there are some people who come to join in the fun and eat rice.
Because today's matter is very serious, there are many people who come to watch, and those who come to eat will go into the courtyard to offer incense, and other people will stand not far away and watch, and they will gather around to watch.
When the coffin is opened, it must be stuck at three o'clock in the afternoon, so this meal is eaten very early, Jiang Yuanyuan has not slept all night, and has been thinking about today's things, although it is her own set, but this fruit is also borne by herself, this kind of thing when opening the coffin, Jiang Yuanyuan takes it very seriously, and does not dare to make mistakes.
In the center of the courtyard are the four coffins to be used today, which were bought last night, not from the Peng family, Jiang Yuanyuan was afraid that these would also have accidents, and she deliberately carried them to the carpenter to see.
All those who came in brought their own incense, lit three sticks, bowed to the coffin three times, and then inserted the incense on the large incense burner placed in front of them.
As soon as people came, there were many things, Jiang Xuan covered his hungry and cramped stomach and rubbed it, poured tea and water again, welcomed guests and lit incense, and didn't notice Chen Mofan who didn't know when he sneaked to their house.
Chen Mofan ran out secretly, he was just able to get off the ground, and when he heard his eldest brother and sister-in-law say that the Jiang family was going to open the coffin, he hurriedly put on his clothes, and he knew that for Jiang Xuan, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were the most difficult knot for him to overcome.
He didn't want others to find out about him, so he walked over from the path, walked in from the vegetable garden at the back door of the Jiang family, and stood next to the house, standing quietly, looking at Jiang Xuan's busy figure.
After copying all the dishes, Jiang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and only one sweet soup was still boiling in the pot.
Looking at all the dishes with satisfaction, he waved his hand, "Serve!" ”
The guests were almost seated, Jiang Qian, the second aunt and Jiang Yuanyuan walked out with the dishes, and a plate of dishes was placed on the table, and the guests who came were all amazed, this dish is really rich!
Large pieces of meat, piled up full of a plate of meat, green vegetables are also full of plates, chicken, duck and fish have everything, there are sweet soups and salty soups, the colors are also colorful, the color and flavor are complete.
"Have a great day everybody." Jiang Yuanyuan said as she walked with the dishes, "I won't take out this wine now, and I will have a meal when I come back later, and then let everyone have a good time." ”
The village chief and Li Zheng were a little surprised, the life of the Jiang family is one of the best in the village, so after the death of the two elders of the Jiang family, these two children will not be unable to eat, today's banquet, most people think that Jiang's father and Jiang's mother left behind, but only the grade account book they know that although the Jiang family's living standard is good, but they will never be able to make such a good banquet, the Jiang family's current land is rented out, and the registered accounts are only ten taels of silver a year, and they have to pay food tax, and their previous life is only two or three taels a year, but to raise a large family, there is not much left, this can make such a good banquet, it can only show that Jiang Yuanyuan made money from that thing.
None of them were optimistic about Jiang Yuanyuan's things at the beginning, after all, they were some unpopular gadgets, and they didn't study what they were doing too much, but this banquet made them all make up their minds to explore and explore.
After eating this meal, this is about to officially set off, Jiang Yuanyuan is qualified to go even if she is a woman this time.
After eating, Jiang Qian and the second aunt helped clean up the table and make way out, the eldest old man in the village trembled slightly and was helped over, he muttered a few words in front of the coffin, Jiang Xuan put on the last stick of incense, the incense slowly burned, a few Chinese characters lifting the coffin lifted the coffin, Jiang Xuan walked in front, holding the incense burner, they walked forward slowly, the old man led the way in the front, and kept chattering about something.
Finally came to this side, the old man circled around the grave three times, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at her father's tombstone from a distance, and tears suddenly fell.
Father! Mother! Forgive your daughter.
Jiang Xuan became more and more silent, he knelt silently in front of the tombstone, kowtowing heavily.
After lighting the incense and placing the tribute, the old man waved his hand, and a few strong men began to dig up, and with a shovel down, this was the beginning.
Jiang Yuanyuan not only wants to change her father's grave this time, but also wants to change her grandparents' grave, and the four sides get a shovel together, Jiang Xuan knelt in front of the tombstone the whole time, the second uncle knelt in front of Grandpa Jiang's tombstone, and Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Qian and the second aunt knelt silently together, very quiet, the air was flowing with the factor of silence, quietly, Jiang Yuanyuan exhaled softly, with an imperceptible trembling.
Jiang Qian reached out and held Jiang Yuanyuan's hand, Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't help but tremble, but she didn't refuse after all.
Sheng Rong has not been at home since yesterday, and I don't know where to go, Sheng Rong's family is not there, saying that it is not sad to be fake, Jiang Yuanyuan hopes that Sheng Rong will be there at this time, but Sheng Rong is not there, she has no choice.
"Got it!" When this sound came out, everyone was shocked, Jiang Yuanyuan looked up, Jiang Mu's had already dug up, and two or three men were carefully digging out the surrounding soil.
"I've dug it up here, too." There was also a voice from Jiang's mother's side.
Mother Jiang died in one body and two lives, and there was also the body of a baby wrapped in white cloth in the coffin.
