Anping Street, Su Mansion, white silk hanging.

In the main hall, Xu Qinghe half-squatted beside the young man, grabbed his shoulders, and persuaded softly: "Ah Jin, get up and go with me to lunch." ”

Su Jin shook her head, looked at the brazier distractedly, and said in a low voice, "I'm not hungry, my cousin is going to eat with my aunt......"

"It's useless for you to have breakfast, and now you don't need to have lunch.1 Xu Qinghe hurriedly said, looking at the young man's lost soul, and reprimanded bitterly: "Are you planning to go on a hunger strike to follow your uncle underground?" ”

When Su Jin heard this, she looked at her cousin and said softly: "I don't have the idea of going on a hunger strike, I really can't eat, and I don't feel hungry in my stomach." ”

Xu Qinghe held the young man's arm, pulled him up with all his strength, and said, "Then let me go to dinner!" Let's drink some porridge and water. ”

Su Jin staggered and staggered, really helpless, so she had to respond: "I'll just go with my cousin - cousin don't drag me." ”

When Xu Qinghe heard this, he let go of his hand with satisfaction, but he didn't think that the young man would fall down and fall to the ground.

Xu Qinghe was startled, hurriedly leaned over to help him, and asked with concern, "Does the fall hurt?" ”

Su Jin shook his head, and with the help of his cousin, he struggled to stand up, and said lightly: "I have been kneeling for a long time, and my knees are numb, so I can't stand steadily for a while." ”

"I'll help you go to dinner1 Xu Qinghe said, holding the young man's arm steadily with his two hands.

The two walked hand in hand, and as soon as they walked a few steps outside, they saw Li Bozhou hugging Su Jingshu into the house.

Su Jin suddenly cried out with tears in her eyes: "Sister-..."

Li Bozhou hurriedly helped Su Jingshu to take a few steps forward, and the two sisters and brothers immediately hugged their heads and cried, tearing their hearts out.

The guests, servants, and maids inside and outside all burst into tears when they heard the voice.

Li Bozhou, Xu Qinghe and the two hurriedly comforted and comforted the sister and brother.

Su Jingshu hugged her brother and cried, her eyes blurred with tears, she looked at the coffin covered by the white banner in the middle of the mourning hall, her heart was unbearable, and she fainted suddenly.

"Sister! Sister 1 Su Jin was startled, and called out in a panic.

Li Bozhou immediately picked up his wife and said to Xu Qinghe: "Cousin, I'll take Jingshu to the backyard to rest first." ”

Xu Qinghe hurriedly responded: "Okay! There is a man in the house, and I will call 1 now

Li Bozhou had no time to answer, and quickly hugged his wife and ran to the backyard.

Su Jin was flustered, raised her head and asked, "Sister is sick?" I heard that I fainted yesterday—"

Xu Qinghe hugged the young man's shoulders and said softly: "With Lang Zhong here, Ah Jin is not afraid." Let's go over now and listen to what Lang Zhong has to say. ”

"Okay—" Su Jin responded.

The two hurried to the backyard and ran into Mrs. Xu, who rushed to hear the news.

Xu Qinghe hurriedly shouted: "Mother, hurry back to the house to rest, it's windy outside!" Blow carefully and get dizzy-"

Mrs. Xu didn't hear it, stepped forward and hugged Su Jin with pity, wiped the tears from his face, and said softly: "Your sister will be fine, don't worry." ”

"Auntie, my cousin is right. Go back to the house and rest! Let's go see Sister. Su Jin said.

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter and asked, "Ah Jin has lunch?" ”

Xu Qinghe shook his head and replied, "No." I'll use it later, so let's go see Jingshu first. ”

Mrs. Xu glanced at Shuangmei beside her and ordered, "Take the young master to dinner." ”

Shuangmei hurriedly replied.

"Auntie, I'll go to see Sister A, and then it's not too late for lunch." Su Jin hurriedly said.

Xu Qinghe also said puzzledly: "Mother, my cousin is worried about Jingshu, let's have lunch later1."

Mrs. Xu looked at the young man and explained softly: "Ah Jin, now that Lang Zhong is being treated, you can't help in the past." Let's go to lunch first, replenish some energy, and then go to see your sister. ”

Before Su Jin could say something, Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and pressed it on his shoulder and said, "Obedient!" Let's go to dinner first. If you are so emaciated that you don't eat well, your body will collapse. ”

Su Jin had no choice but to respond, "Yes, aunt." ”

Shuangmei hurriedly stepped forward to help the young master and walked towards the front yard.

Xu Qinghe held Mrs. Xu and said with concern: "Mother, you can also go into the house to rest!" I went to see my cousin alone. ”

Mrs. Xu glanced at her, and said to her as she walked forward: "I can hear the cries of the two sisters and brothers in the courtyard clearly. Why don't you know how to stop it? Do you really want them to cry to death? ”

Xu Qinghe hurriedly replied: "My brother-in-law and I have been persuading each other, but I really can't persuade you."

Mrs. Xu glanced at the bloodshot in her daughter's eyes, sighed, couldn't bear to scold her, and said, "Ah Jin is young and in good health, so she can afford to boil." However, mourning is not a day or two, and it is important to let him eat and rest on time every day, so that he cannot break the foundation1

"Yes. I push it every day. Xu Qinghe immediately responded.

Mrs. Xu looked at her and said, "You are the same! Eat and rest on time. ”

Xu Qinghe knew that Mrs. Xu had a motherly heart, and responded: "I understand, mother." There are so many things to be busy inside and outside, where does my daughter dare not take care of her body 1

Mrs. Xu glanced at her and snorted, "It's strange if you understand!" Who was the third watch in the middle of the night yesterday and was still walking with candles? Who is like Ah Jin, who can't swallow half a mouthful of food? ”

Xu Qinghe said abruptly: "Mother, aren't you resting in the house?" How do you know this? ”

Mrs. Xu avoided answering, and said to her daughter in a serious voice: "Qinghe, when my husband left, I was in deep pain and had no time to take care of you. Later, it was the maids who told me those things, and I realized how hard you worked every day. In the end, you are forced to cry out loud, and your body gradually recovers. ”

Xu Qinghe was silent.

"You should know that I was going to go with my husband, but I thought that I couldn't let my daughter become a fatherless and motherless person, so I stopped thinking and accompanied you wholeheartedly." Mrs. Xu gently patted the back of her daughter's hand and continued: "Your uncle died of illness, if you want to cry, you must cry, don't hold it in your heart. ”

Xu Qinghe's eyes were sour and unbearable, and he was about to say something, but he heard Mrs. Xu continue-

"Don't let my white-haired send black-haired people! If you want to send me to the end of your old age, you shouldn't let me send you first Mrs. Xu said in a heavy tone with moist eyes.

Xu Qinghe suddenly shed two lines of tears, hugged his mother's arm tightly, was sad, and choked up: "Mother, don't worry! I will definitely take care of my body, and I will definitely not let you send a white-haired person to a black-haired person1

Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "When Ah Zhe passed away, everyone was sad in their hearts, but if they didn't think about sleeping and eating and ruined their bodies, how could they be worthy of the souls of the deceased in the sky?" ”

Xu Qinghe also wiped away his tears and choked up: "Mother is right to reprimand. The daughter will definitely take care of her health in the future, and together with her mother, she will raise Ah Jin to grow up, so that he can start a family smoothly to comfort her uncle's soul in the sky. ”

"That's right." Mrs. Xu said happily.
