In the evening, footsteps could be heard outside the hospital. A group of people walked into the courtyard, and the whole village came when they heard the news. The whole village is full of courtyards for the elderly and children.

Shen Chenzhong is the first talent in the village, he knows the importance of literacy, and always spends extra time teaching children to read when he comes home. The children in Shenjia Village know a few words more or less when they are older. The children are happy, and the adults are also grateful to Shen Xiaozhong. When I heard that something had happened to him, almost the whole family went out.

When the Shen brothers heard the voice, they hurriedly walked out, and Li Zheng was older and walked slower. Chen and several concubines also walked out one after another, and Shen Chenxiang helped Shen Yu and hugged Shen Chenhui and walked out. Shen Xiaoyi was helped out by He's family. In the courtyard, Shen Xiaozhong was lying on a wooden board covered in blood, his face was sallow, and he had already lost his vitality. The family immediately cried bitterly, Shen Laohan bent his waist, and suddenly became more than ten years old, this second son is the most promising child in their family, and bears all the expenses of the children in the family. It was not only his son who was lost all of a sudden, but also the pillar of his heart. Chen sat on the ground and cried, "My son, the one who suffered a thousand knives killed you, my bitter son." ”

Shen Chenxiang's brother and sister squatted next to their father, Shen Chenxiang and Shen Yu cried silently, Shen Chenhui took Shen Chenzhong's hand and cried and said, "Dad, let's get home, you get up, get up and accompany Hui'er, Hui'er is afraid." For a while, everyone shed tears, and the daughter cried even more, cursing the bandits for being rampant.

Li Zheng and the Shen family patriarch glanced at each other, "Let's prepare for the future." This is the first child of our Shen family to have a good future," the patriarch sighed. "Carry Xiaozhong into the house and clean up, and I will personally arrange his funeral." After speaking, the old patriarch commanded the people to move and carry, and the mourners reported the funeral.

"Grandpa, I'll clean up my dad personally." Shen Chenxiang stood in front of the patriarch, his little face tightened, and his clothes swept the floor.

"Child, you are going to be the one who will take the Xiucai exam in the future, let your uncle and uncle do these things." They have this custom here, thinking that cleaning up the dead is a very unfortunate thing, which will bring bad luck to themselves, and they are unwilling to do this kind of thing, and some people even earn this money.

"Grandpa, filial piety is more important than heaven, my father is to protect us, I believe he will also bless me safe." Shen Chenxiang stood there without moving, the arrogance of the literati was beginning to appear, and his temperament was outstanding. Shen Yu hugged Shen Chenhui and stood silently beside him, supporting Shen Chenxiang.

The old patriarch stood there and looked at Shen Chenxiang, and he saw persistence and stubbornness in the eyes of this child. To be honest, after so many years, few people have been so opposed to him, and it has always been what he says. He said in his heart that this kid is not simple, and he will become a great weapon in the future. "Okay, then you can come in person."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Shen Chenxiang's three brothers and sisters bowed. "Yu'er goes to fetch water, Hui'er, you and I go into the house to help."

"Yes, brother." Shen Yu agreed, turned his head and entered the kitchen. She was also used to doing farm work in her previous life, and boiling water and cooking was no problem. The pots in the kitchen are very clean, the Shen family is very diligent, and the kitchen is cleaned up in an orderly manner. Shen Yu added a basin of water, sat down in front of the pot and lit the fire.

"Jade girl, let the aunt come and light the fire." An eldest lady came over and said. Shen Yu knew in his mind that this woman in her forties was the second aunt of the eldest grandfather's family. The son of this second uncle is studying in Hanshan Academy, and the second uncle has a very good relationship with his father and takes care of their family.

"Second uncle, let me do it myself." Shen Yu didn't move. The second aunt didn't say anything when she saw that she was very thin, "I'll hand you firewood." The two of them silently did their own thing, and no one said a word.

The water was good after a while, and Shen Yu took out the water himself and carried the water into the house. She knew from the memory of the original owner that this Shen Xiaozhong was very remarkable, loved this family very much, and the family admired him very much. Shen Yu also admired this person from the bottom of his heart, so they all wanted to clean up their father by themselves, so that his father could leave innocently.

When Shen Yu entered the house, Shen Chenxiang's brother had already taken off his father's clothes, and the room was full of men. The uncle of the grandfather's family came over and stretched out his hand and said, "Jade girl, I'll come, you wait outside." ”

Shen Yu didn't let go, "I can." The old patriarch looked at it and waved his hand, and the big man stepped aside. Shen Yu wet the towel and handed it to Shen Chenxiang Shen Chenhui for each person, and he also held one for himself. The three brothers and sisters each rubbed a place. They rub it very carefully and cleanly, and they don't miss every part of the body. After drying it, Shen Chenxiang entered the room of their second room again, and found a set of clean underwear from the house for his father to wear. You should wear a shroud outside, but now it's dark, so you can only buy it tomorrow. So they put a sheet on it, and the three brothers and sisters knelt in front of them and kept silent vigil.

"I can't live this day, how much does it cost, I'm not alive." Crying could be heard outside.

"What do you want, don't go back to your house." A man's voice came.

"Shen Xiaohai, what are you shouting, my mother has been married to you for so many years and has never eaten enough, and she has not seen a lot of money for a year after suffering with you. Is your brother precious when he is alive and precious when he is dead? A dead man also bought a good shroud and a good coffin. and let the living not live. Outside the hospital, Meng sat on the ground and sprinkled.

"It's too unusual, Xiaozhong is the first talent in our village, why can't he use a good coffin." The old patriarch was also angry, and shouted angrily with his crutches.

"Do you know how much a good coffin costs? Five taels of silver, five taels, do you have any money at home? The medicine just now was all on credit, and I don't know if it's still on the year of the monkey, and this is the best coffin. Xi'er's money for the New Year's tuition has not yet arrived, I don't care, if you use a good shroud coffin, I will split up. Meng Shi also shouted, his eyes reddened.

"What, you don't know that the old man is not separating from the family, see if I don't kill you." Shen Xiaohai was angry when he heard that Meng said that he was going to split the family, and he stepped forward to beat Meng Shi.

"If you kill me, I won't be able to pass it anyway." Meng Shi also moved forward, looking like he was going to do his best. Everyone stepped forward one after another.

"Patriarch, what do you think of this?" As soon as Li Zheng saw that the commotion was not like talking, he hurried to play a round. "Why don't you buy a coffin for the next order, and the children will have to pay for school."

"We don't pay back the accounts of the second family, I ask for a breakup." Meng Shi was unforgiving, clamoring to split up.

"See that I don't kill you, Shen Xiaohai raised his slap to hit Meng."

"I won't live if I don't separate from my family." After Meng finished speaking, he slammed into the wall, and everyone pulled up the rack, and the yard was noisy.
