In the evening of the next day, Wu Yi still accompanied Li Gui to kowtow to his deceased father's grave; On the third day, he did not come, but set up his butcher's stall on the street to sell meat, but who can witness that Li Gui is still fulfilling his promise?

Li Gui is a trustworthy person, no matter whether he is accompanied or not, he insists on kowtowing in order to get the shotgun with a clear conscience.

He secretly warned himself: Don't cut corners, you must be worthy of the dead, so that you can be blessed by the dead. When he kowtowed, he would spontaneously look up at the sky, worried about which bird would fly over and float on him, but no.

Every time Li Gui looked up, he didn't find a bird, but he found a woman in a flower dress, picking grass in a hemp field a hundred meters away from this tomb, and looking here from time to time, when he looked back, she turned her face again.

Li Gui didn't care, but the woman's flower clothes were always shaking inadvertently in front of him.

Later, when Li Gui found himself kowtowing there every day, the woman must have been weeding in the nearby hemp field.

He seemed to have a new emotion, that is, every time he went to the grave and kowtowed, he wanted to see the woman with the grass, but he also saw it, and a faint sweetness inexplicably grew in his heart, as if he had come not to fulfill the contract, but to be able to see the woman. Now his mind has a very clear reflection of the woman in a floral dress and a pair of braids.

He thought: If the seventy-seven and forty-nine days are over, it will be a little unaccustomed to not seeing the woman in the hemp field.

On the evening of the forty-eighth day of the performance of the contract, a miracle occurred, the woman who Li Gui had been thinking about day and night came to the front, and the appearance of Tingting Yuli made him secretly intoxicated.

He knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed repeatedly, but his mind was no longer on kowtowing, but on the woman's graceful movements.

I saw that she also knelt before the grave and bowed her head. Li Gui said, I came to kowtow to fulfill the contract, but why did you come to kowtow as a girl?

The girl kowtowed three times in a row, stood up and said to him, "Other people's parents are also my parents, and now that Wu's father is ancient, I should come to the grave to prostrate." Besides, you are not related to your father in this later life, and you can persistently come here to mourn your filial piety for forty-nine days, and your filial piety touches the heavens and the earth. This is someone else's father, let alone your own father. To be honest, I was moved by your filial piety and rushed to kowtow. Is there anything wrong with that?

The girl spoke reasonably, spicy, and a little aggressive.

Li Gui admired her very much, stood up, rubbed his hands, and said approvingly: You are not bad, you insist on grass harvesting every day, I have seen you more than 40 times, before I came, you must have insisted on that kind of farming, which is not simple.

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had some secret. Li Gui didn't want to ask, so he just threw an amorous look at her, and then gave his hand to leave.

When the girl spoke to him, she carefully examined his appearance, and felt that he was simple and resolute, and secretly liked him, so she cared about him, and even the little dirt on the collar of his black jacket could be seen.

At this moment, Li Guicai walked away, and she rushed up to call Brother Li Gui, which sounded kind.

Li Gui happily turned around: Alas, how do you know my name? Your filial piety is famous, who doesn't know it? In that case, can you tell me the girl's last name? Standing in front of Li Gui, the girl smiled: My name is Wu Juying, and I am in the same village as Wu, do you know this?

Li Guizhi nodded and walked out of the cemetery. Stand in the golden glow of the sunset.

Wu Juying looked at him and said, "Brother Li Gui, can I help you do something?" Li Gui was very surprised, and arched his hand: Don't dare? What do I need you to do?

You have. Wu Juying grabbed her collar and rubbed it, Li Gui didn't understand yet. She said, "Look at your collar." Li Gui understood now, his face was ashamed, and he said shyly: You mean that there is a little stain on the collar of my jacket?

Of course, it's not too ugly, but it gives me a chance to wash it for you. Wu Juying was very good at talking, so Li Gui didn't know how to answer, and was stunned for a long time before saying how dare to drive the girl.

Wu Juying's words count, that is, on the evening of the last time Li Gui came to the cemetery, Wu Yi also came, he brought a white jacket and handed it to Li Gui, saying that it was given to him by Wu Juying. He took the white jacket very excitedly, looked around and didn't see Wu Juying, and asked her why she didn't come. Wu Yi said that you will find out when you go home.

Li Gui went to the grave today and changed into a shirt with no stains. At this moment, Wu Yi knelt in front of his deceased father's grave and said: Father, Brother Li Gui's filial piety period for you is over, and the shotgun can be used as a price for him. Walking out of the cemetery, Li Gui asked how much the shotgun cost before selling it to him, and Wu Yi said five hundred yuan, you go back and prepare!

Li Gui was unhappy, thinking that it was too expensive, and said after a long time: Is it still cheaper? Wu Yi said: This is discussed by the family, and not a penny is missing. If you buy a shotgun and sell a few wild animals, you will soon make a lot of money. All right! I worked hard to raise money.

Li Gui and Wu Yi walked to Tianyi and parted with each other, and a gray dirt road branched here, one leading to Wujiawan and the other to Lijia Village.

Li Gui returned to the village wearing a white jacket, walked to the front of the house, and saw that his mother was collecting a black jacket hanging on a bamboo pole, so he remembered what Wu Yi had said, and he asked his mother, has anyone been here today? Yes, there is. My mother smiled and said as if she was happy: "A girl has come, and she has washed this black jacket for you, and dried it."

She grabbed it and waved it in front of Li Gui like a flag.

Is that girl's name Wu Juying? Exactly, she said that she is good friends with you. The mother said as she went into the inner room with her son, and told him when the girl had gone. And said, she is so good with you, why didn't I know it all along?

Li Gui told how he met her, and his mother listened and asked, are you planning to marry her? Li Gui nodded, and then said: Mom, you won't object, right?

Mother smiled and said: It's too late for me to be happy, will I object?

At this time, it was getting late, the mother lit the oil lamp, and the house was full of lights, and the mother and son shook the huge shadows reflected on the wall and the ground, adding a vitality to the home.

Li Fu, who was working outside for a while, came back, Xu Li hurriedly told him about Li Gui and Wu Juying's friendship, he didn't seem to be interested, squatted on the side and smoked dry cigarettes, and from time to time pulled out Li Gui's unhappy things and said: Li Gui, it is said that you have hung filial piety for the deceased father of Wu descent in Wujiawan for forty-nine days, and kowtowed in front of the grave every evening for forty-nine days, which is of course a good thing, but I found that you have not fulfilled this filial piety to your family and ancestors. You didn't force yourself to do that just to buy that shotgun, did you? If so, I don't think it's advisable. I don't support you learning to hunt, because it's very dangerous to carry a shotgun.

Dad, you don't have to worry about it. Li Gui replied unhappily.

Finally, it came to the marriage of Li Gui and Wu Juying, Li Fu said, you two can get married, if you buy an L gun, I don't agree.

Li Gui was silent, but he transferred his thoughts and behaviors to emotions, and Wu Juying came to accompany him for three or two days.

Slowly, Wu Juying became pregnant, and only by wearing loose clothes could she cover her somewhat bulging belly. But she was shy to answer every day, except for talking to Li Gui, but she didn't dare to look up at people, because she hadn't been married by Li Gui yet.

This problem made Wu Juying's family difficult, and they originally planned to ask for a dowry before letting the Li family marry, but now it seems that it will not work, otherwise, the unmarried child will be ugly, and the Wu family has no choice but to agree to this marriage.

So, the two in-laws who were not wealthy picked an auspicious day, simply held a few tables of banquets, and set off some firecrackers, so that Li Gui and Wu Juying tied the knot in a joyful atmosphere.
