Chapter 298: Death is like a lamp going out
Hou Ye was at a loss for his distressed siblings, how could he stop him at this time, so he hurriedly hugged the fat girl, got up and walked out.
"Don't cry, my father-in-law will send you home."
"Grandma won't let me go back, saying that the house is in chaos."
"Then live in my father's yard."
When the chief butler heard that his master had returned, he was just in time to come, and when he saw this, he hurried to prepare the carriage, and packed several boxes of various snacks and small toys.
Jiayin poked his head out, his expression a little wilted, but he hadn't forgotten to thank him.
"Thank you, Uncle Butler!"
"Hey, hey, the eldest lady has tormented the old slave." The chief butler bent down in response, but his face was a little less apprehensive.
Hou Ye also nodded, and instructed, "Look at the mansion, don't think about it, the old lady of the Li family is very reasonable." ”
When the chief butler heard this, he was completely relieved.
Seeing that the carriage was going away, he hurriedly called the little servant to close the door, and then instructed the servants of the Manchu Mansion.
"About Mrs. Wu, no one is allowed to mention it again, and they all keep their mouths shut for me. Whoever does not have a door on his lips will bear the burden of his own crimes. ”
"Don't worry, big butler!" Everyone responded, and Mrs. Wu didn't say anything originally, but she was from the Li family, which surprised everyone.
But now that the person is dead, everything will come to an end, and it is useless to talk about it.
Don't talk about the Hou Mansion, just say that the Hou Ye hugged Jiayin and took the carriage back to Shajin Beach, and met the carriage of the Cui family and the Liu family on the way, and in addition to Liu Zhiheng, there was also Mr. Wen in the carriage of the Liu family.
Seeing Master Hou, Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen hurriedly changed to the carriage of the Hou Mansion.
"Master Hou, have you heard that something happened to the Li family? How are you doing a funeral? ”
Seeing their eyes full of concern and worry, Hou Ye guessed that they must have thought of a fork, so he said, "Don't worry, it's not Aunt Li who has something to do." is Jiaren's biological mother, who was separated when she moved the capital. Now I found someone, but I was very sick and passed away. ”
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were both relieved, Liu Zhiheng didn't know the details about Li's second daughter-in-law at all, but Mr. Wen had heard a few words from Jiaren's mouth.
After all, Jiaren will have to take a scientific examination in the future, and whether he is filial to his parents is the first article in the evaluation of conduct.
Mr. Wen didn't see Jiaren's mother at home, so he asked if he had died of illness.
Jiaren said that he was lost, but the Li family was very strange, as if everyone was not in a hurry to find it.
He also wondered if it was better to ask more about other people's family affairs, so he would forget it.
I don't want to hear it again today, it's death.
After a while, the carriage entered the village, and a high wooden pole had been inserted in front of the Li family, and a large string of paper money was hung, fluttering in the wind.
Dongmei happened to come out with something, and when she saw her master coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward.
Hou Ye hugged Jiayin and handed it to her, "Go back to our yard and take care of Miss." ”
Dongmei should get down, hug the good news and leave.
A mourning shed has been erected in the courtyard of the Li family, and the old people in the village are sitting outside the courtyard gate and gossiping.
The young people wore filial piety belts, went in and out, and helped Zhang Luo to arrange some big and small affairs.
In fact, they are not relatives with the Li family, and they don't need to be filial piety, but the entire Broken Jintan New Village is all sacrificed together, not a family, better than a family.
At this time, tying a filial piety belt is also a comfort and closeness to the Li family.
Jiaren and Jiahuan, Jia'an, Jiaxi, and Brother Li'er knelt in the mourning shed and burned paper money.
Jia Huan and Jia An are happy, after all, the second aunt is not likable, and they were not very close before. At this time, I shed tears, and it was also because I felt sorry for my brother and second uncle.
Brother Li has never seen this second aunt!
But Jiaren is really sad, the pain of losing his mother makes him a little confused, how much he hated his mother before, and now he regrets and feels sad in his heart.
Hou Ye, Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng, Mrs. Cui and others stepped forward to offer incense, and the Jiaren brothers kowtowed a few times to thank them.
Mr. Wen crouched down and shouted, and Jiaren woke up and found that the teacher was coming.
He subconsciously hugged the teacher and cried, "Teacher, woo, my mother...... She's dead, she's dead! ”
Mr. Wen patted him lightly on the shoulder, "If you want to cry, you can cry, but after crying, life will go on." You also have a father, brother, grandmother, uncles and aunts, and a whole family to rely on. ”
Jiaren nodded and choked up, "I know, teacher, but ......"
Mr. Wen sighed, "After these few days, you can go to the city with me to live for a few days, the college will not start until after the Yuan Festival, and you are not afraid of delaying your schoolwork." ”
"Okay." Jiaren responded, kowtowed again, and thanked the teacher for comforting.
Mrs. Cui turned around and entered the main landlord's house, and the old lady was leaning on the kang, her face a little gray.
Seeing Mrs. Cui coming in, she was about to sit up, but was stopped by Mrs. Cui.
"Auntie, you rest, don't get up. Own family, no need to be polite. ”
Mrs. Li sighed, shook Mrs. Cui's hand, and wanted to say something, but it seemed that she was blocked in her heart again, and she couldn't get out.
Mrs. Cui poured her warm tea and persuaded her in a low voice.
"Auntie, people die like lights going out, we still have to look forward."
"I know, it's just that I don't feel comfortable." As soon as the old lady answered, Hou Ye, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhiheng came in.
The old lady beckoned the three of them to sit down, and the Hou Ye said, "Auntie, this matter is my negligence, and I didn't take care of ......."
"What nonsense?" The old lady glared, but she recovered a little bit of her spirit, and said angrily, "You have been killing barbarians all day long, and the Hou Mansion has not been back a few times, how do you know that the crazy woman in the mansion is the second daughter-in-law." And when I go back to see the big housekeeper, I must thank him for our family.
"He's scared, but there's no need. We only have to thank him at home, and we won't complain. At the beginning, when there was such a time of chaos, there were not many meddling people who saved people. The second daughter-in-law lives for two more years, and she can still see the second child and Jiaren before she dies, and she can go home to mourn, which is already a blessing to him. ”
Hou Ye nodded and responded, "Don't worry, auntie, I will say it." ”
Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng and the others were confused, and they didn't understand how the second daughter-in-law of the dead spirit had a relationship with the Hou Mansion again.
They got along closely with the Li family, and the old lady held back her words again, and then she talked from beginning to end.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
There are some mistakes in the world, and there is a chance to correct them, but there are some mistakes, and there is no room for repentance.
Mr. Wen remembered Fang Cai, and he was even more determined to take his disciples out for a walk.
He said, "Auntie, after the funeral, I will take Jiaren into the city to live for a few days, and then send him back after burning the first seven days." ”
"Okay, good, this kid is delicate, I'm afraid it's not good. Jiayi is not at home, we don't know how to explain it, and we will bother you. ”
The old lady agreed to come down, and at this time, Li Lao Er brought Mr. Feng Shui back from outside, and Hou Ye, Liu Zhiheng, and Mr. Wen went out, leaving Mrs. Cui to accompany the old lady.
Li Lao Er had just decided the location of the cemetery, and his tired face was a little pale.
Not only the Li family and the villagers here, but also many guests come and go in and out of the valley on weekdays.
Wu Cuihua's grave naturally can't be buried on the mountain, after all, no one wants to take a bath, and when you look up, you can see the grave.
In the end, I found a piece of wasteland of more than three acres between Broken Gold Beach and Dahuaishu Village, the rising sun, there is a small river in the distance, and you can also look at the mountains and forests, which is a good place.
Li Laosi has already dragged the village chief to the government to report and buy this land, and it will be used as the tomb of the Li family and the village in the future.
If there is a day when the Northland is recovered, the old people of each family want to bury their bones in their hometown, and they can also move their graves.
But if you can't recover the Northland for a long time, this is the place where the old people will live in the future, and they can also watch over the broken gold beach day and night, and bless the younger generations with a safe and smooth life.
Hou Ye occasionally turned around, looked at the cat brother lying behind the window of the West House, guessed that the family was busy, and he couldn't take care of the child, so he took him back to his yard and accompanied him with Jiayin.
The snacks and gadgets brought by the big butler came in handy, and soon the cat brother was happy.
