Chapter 385: Broken Rites
The couple hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and they were still looking forward to the family reunion after the year, who knew that meeting again would be like this, which really made Du Jingyi sigh in his heart.
The temperature on Gu Shaoyu's body and the calluses on his hands and abdomen were still the same.
And when Du Jingyi sat in the back and watched his husband kneel there and carefully burn the paper, he had a sense of steadiness after he came back.
It was only at this moment that her heart that had been holding on finally relaxed a little, and when she looked up at the spiritual position and the coffin again, she was also silently reciting.
"Grandmother, Shaoyu is back, you can rest assured."
The last time Gu Shaoyu burned paper was for his mother, and the last time he burned paper for his own family, and if he pushed it forward, it was the eldest brother.
He watched his relatives leave one after another, and said in his heart that if it didn't hurt, it was all fake, but there was no way to hurt it, so he still had to be stronger.
Otherwise, how can they be their backbone?
The folded gold and silver paper money disappeared into the brazier little by little, but Gu Shaoyu's backbone became the Dinghai Divine Needle of the entire Gu family.
I don't know if Mrs. Gu has a spirit in the sky, but on the afternoon of Gu Shaoyu's return, it rained heavily, and after the heavy rain, the sky was clear.
The winter in Jinling City is still much better than that in Sui'an City, when the year came, Du Jingyi fainted all the way, where did he have the spirit to feel, and this year he caught up with the death of Mrs. Gu, so naturally he was not in the mood.
Therefore, when the sky was clear, Du Jingyi did not dare to slack off.
Immediately, he asked someone to fetch ice and put it around the coffin, so as not to make Old Madam Gu's body feel uncomfortable, after all, there are still four days before the scheduled burial date, so there is nothing wrong with anything.
And now it has been nearly a month since Mrs. Gu passed away, so the condolences that should be mourned are almost over, and now the family is taking turns to guard her spirit, so the ice cubes are there, and it doesn't hinder anything.
After dinner, Gu Shaoyu invited everyone to Sanshan Hall, and a room full of men, women, and children all looked at him, waiting to hear what he had to say.
Even Brother Tai and the three children came over together, this is the first time Gu Shaoyu has seen his triplet sons, and now they are all four-month-old children, slightly smaller than Brother Tai at that time, but in the arms of their respective nurses, they are still in order.
Gu Shaoyu naturally wanted to hug, but the children had never seen him as a "father" since they were born, so they were somewhat repulsed.
"Did Brother Tai miss his father?"
Brother Tai now says a sentence or two from time to time, but they are all overlapping words, and most of them make porphyry sounds.
Although he didn't answer, after tilting his head and thinking about it, he still broke free from the hands of the nurse Fu and trotted towards Gu Shaoyu.
Although the walk was a little staggering, it was much better than when I first started.
jumped into Gu Shaoyu's words, and shouted "Daddy, Daddy" a few times, although it was not too clear, Gu Shaoyu still heard it.
There was a sense of pride in my eyes, a sense of immediacy that I had just grown up.
looked at the other three sons who were still confused, and suddenly felt that it was Tai Ge'er who won his heart the most.
"The second aunt came all the way quickly, but it was hard."
It was Master Du who spoke, and he and his wife were now taking care of their four grandsons wholeheartedly, so they were also a little tired.
When he saw him, Gu Shaoyu got up and hugged his fists and said gratefully.
"Let the father-in-law and mother-in-law worry about it, the son-in-law is back, everything will be properly arranged."
Seeing this, Master Du didn't say anything, nodded and stepped aside.
Seeing that except for the eldest aunt who couldn't get up, the rest of the people in the Gu family who should have come came, Gu Shaoyu spoke.
"Grandmother died too suddenly, I also rushed back with the news in Ancheng, so that you all worked hard, four days later is the day when grandmother enters the earth, before that, we will guard the mourning hall, and after the burial, the family's arrangements will be restored as before."
"When my grandmother was alive, she often told me, don't stick to those death rites, only the living people have a good life, and those who go can feel at ease, so the vegetarian March ceremony will be deducted, and it is the most important thing to take good care of the body."
The fourth aunt also nodded when she saw this, and said quite agreeably.
"What Shaoyu said is that when Shiro and them were gone, my mother-in-law also took us to return to normal after the burial of them, and the filial piety that should be honored before death, even if we don't do these false gifts after death, we are not ashamed."
"That's what the fourth brother and sister said."
It was the second aunt who opened her mouth to answer, and it was not difficult for her to follow this rule, but her daughter Xiaoyun had a body, how could she be all vegetarian, wouldn't it make her more and more uncomfortable?
Therefore, when I heard Gu Shaoyu's arrangement, I also deeply agreed.
When the others saw that the elders had come out to express their opinions, they naturally complied, and then heard Gu Shaoyu continue.
"Before I came, I had already played in the imperial court and worried about my grandmother Ding for a year, so I will stay in Jinling City during this time, and after a while, there may be other arrangements, and I will discuss it with your aunts and uncles at that time."
"Shaoyu and your daughter-in-law are in this family, we are 10,000 rest assured, this is what it meant when my mother-in-law was here."
The third aunt added a sentence appropriately, she is still a little worried about her daughter's family affairs, Ding Wei will be twenty-one years old after a year, such an age has not yet decided to marry or marry, naturally she wants to be called an old girl.
But at the moment, even if she has this mind, she doesn't have this candidate, so she can only swallow all her worries in her stomach, and wait to take one step at a time.
After briefly explaining these things, Gu Shaoyu glanced at Du Jingyi and asked in a calm voice.
"A few days ago, the people from the seventh room came to make trouble?"
Du Jingyi glanced at Xing Zhao, and when he saw that his expression was a little embarrassed, he understood that he must have said it, but Du Jingyi didn't plan to make a big deal about it, so he replied with comfort.
"It's just a few quarrels, and I was pressed by the seventh uncle and grandfather at that time, and the mouthy third cousin was also asked to kowtow to my grandmother to make amends, so the general should not pursue it anymore."
"The third mother of the eldest aunt's family?"
"Hmm."
Gu Shaoyu is honestly not very familiar with these relatives in the Gu family, after all, there are enough people in his own yard, where do he need to pay attention to other relatives.
