Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 466 Unhappy
After death, nothing is more important than being buried in the ground.

Li Houzhong seemed a little depressed, Li Xin took the medicinal wine Tong Shi gave her and wiped the blood spots on his face, Li Houzhong took a deep breath from time to time.

Sitting aside and watching indifferently, Mrs. Liu snorted.

As night fell, all the white flags on the Li family's side were hung up, and the sons and grandsons also put on white mourning clothes, with a sackcloth covering their heads and a hemp rope tied around their waists.Mrs. Zhu and the others also went to help Li Yueshi put on the shroud, wrapped it up three times inside and outside three times, put a hat on his head neatly, changed into a pair of brand new cloth shoes, and put them away. Inside the coffin.

A few futons were also set up in front of the mourning hall, and people big and small knelt on them.

Liu shi went to kneel for a while symbolically, then walked away again.

At this moment, Li Houbo and Uncle Li Hou stopped fighting, and the two of them added Li Houzhong, who was kneeling upright.

According to rural customs, the mourning event must be suspended for a period of time, but it is summer after all, so naturally it cannot be left for a long time.

Old Li's house originally had a hilltop, but there are plenty of places to dig graves.The most important thing right now is Li Yue's funeral.

Li Dalang and Li Yin have already drawn up a list of people to invite, and Mrs. Zhu is also busy preparing for the funeral in the next few days, welcoming guests, tea, tobacco, alcohol, three meals a day, and a guest room for people to rest and so on. , You have to prepare well before everyone comes.

The main room was used as a mourning hall, and Mrs. Liu squinted against the pillars in the yard all night, and went back after dawn the next day.

Seeing her and Li Xin going out, Mrs. Zhu asked casually, "Where are you going?"

"I have something to do when I go back. I'll be back in the afternoon." Mrs. Liu replied.

Mrs. Zhu didn't think much about it, she nodded and went about her own business.Mrs. Jin happened to hear this too, so she rushed forward and stretched her neck to ask Mrs. Zhu, "Eldest sister-in-law, what is second sister-in-law doing with her daughter and grandson? Everyone has been busy all night and didn't get in bed." Well, isn't she going back to sleep now?"

Mrs. Zhu also knew that Mrs. Jin liked to sow discord, but she still heard her words.

Mrs. Zhu frowned and said, "You are busy with your work, and I am also busy."

Mrs. Liu and Li Xin naturally went to Li Xin's fourth uncle to drink wedding wine. Both the elder brother and the younger were still wearing filial piety. After returning home, they took off their filial piety clothes and put on clean clothes.Mrs. Liu took the money and went to Li Xin's grandmother's house with the prepared gift and Li Xin.

On the way, Li Xin asked Mrs. Liu if it would be bad if he didn't tell his father and the others.

Mrs. Liu said: "Tell him that we're going to quarrel again. Anyway, I said it yesterday. Nothing can stop me from going back to my mother to see your fourth uncle's reunion." Muttering to Li Xin: "Your father is a good son of 24 filial piety, but unfortunately your grandma doesn't like him at all. I have to go, I will give you a small gold ingot, a gold bracelet, and a big stone to send your father away." Well, your father is so beautiful, I thought his mother knew about him."

Mrs. Liu snorted: "It's fine to let him be a filial piety, but I won't stop him this time. After your grandma's funeral is over, I'll wait to see if your uncle and third uncle talk about it... It was only after your grandma died last night that these two started arguing over your cousin Zhu and the others not coming back... I'm so sorry!"

Li Xin pursed her lips and remained silent.

After noon, I arrived at Li Xin's grandmother's house, and the lights were decorated and beaming.After all, it was a big day, and they were remarried and remarried, so it didn't matter much. Li Xin's fourth uncle and the new fourth aunt, Zhengbei Li Xin's grandmother, dragged them around to toast and say some words of thanks.

When Aunt Li Xin saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li coming, she hurried up to greet her and looked behind Mrs. Liu.

"Forget about it." Liu said, "Neither your brother-in-law nor your nephew came."

"What's the matter, you can't even leave?" Aunt Li Xin asked in surprise, "Didn't you deliver the news two days earlier?"

"The plan can't keep up with the changes." Li Xin smiled, pulled her aunt and said, "Anyway, I have something to do, aunt, let's eat first! I'm too tired after this journey."

Aunt Li Xin scolded her with a smile, and took her hand to the table to eat.

Li Xin went to give money and gifts, and sat down with Mrs. Liu. It happened that Li Xin's fourth uncle and the others came here to toast. Looking forward to it."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, and looked at the woman next to Li Xin's fourth uncle.

It was the first time seeing Li Xin, so he looked more carefully.

She has a very ordinary appearance, but she doesn't look ugly, and she has a very simple temperament on her body. She should be a woman who lives a down-to-earth life.

Liu said with a smile: "From now on, you two can live a good life."

Li Xin's fourth uncle smiled at his new daughter-in-law: "Cui Cui, your name is Third Sister."

Wang Cui smiled and called Liu's third sister, and raised her glass to drink to Liu.

Li Xin's fourth uncle introduced Li Xin to Wang Cui, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't brother-in-law and the others come?"

Li Xin said: "Father, they have something to do and they can't leave."

Unaware of him, Li Xin's fourth uncle nodded, and dragged Wang Cui to another table to toast.

Tang stood in front of Liu and frowned and asked, "Why didn't you head the family? Where are my grandsons?"

"There is such a great grandson." Liu pushed Xiaodou forward: "It's not a free meal for so many people to come."

"Nonsense, how can we miss the one or two meals?"

Mrs. Tang stared at Mrs. Liu, looked at Li Xin and said, "What's going on? Your mother won't tell me, girl, tell me."

Wouldn't the news add to people's embarrassment if it was said on this happy day?Li Xin just smiled and said, "I just have something to do, so I can't get away for a while. Grandma, don't ask too much, it's a big day today, and you still have to greet the guests. Mother and I, and Xiaodou will be enough if you come back." ?”

Tang shi was dissatisfied, but continued to work around in circles, responding to congratulations from all directions.

After lunch, Mrs. Liu said she was going back.

Aunt Li Xin was surprised: "So early?"

"There is something to do when I go home." Mrs. Liu shook the hand of her fifth sister and said, "Don't tell your mother that something serious happened to my in-law's family. I can't stay here any longer, or I will be punished by my in-law's family." Make irresponsible remarks."

Aunt Li Xin frowned and said, "What happened?"

Mrs. Liu looked around and said, "The old lady passed away yesterday."

Aunt Li Xin exclaimed immediately, and Mrs. Liu quickly covered her mouth and said, "Shut up! It's such a happy day!"

"Then you go back quickly." Aunt Li Xin took Liu Shi's hand and said, "I won't keep you, go back quickly, this is not a joke."

"Sister-in-law, help me out, don't tell others about this, just keep it a secret." Liu said slowly: "Just pretend you don't know about it."

Aunt Li Xin was suddenly surprised.

Mrs. Liu snorted: "It's not that I'm stingy, I'm going to give money to Li's second brother and his elder brother, why bother?"

"But..." Aunt Li Xin was a little hesitant: "At any rate, my mother-in-law passed away, so it's not good if I don't go..."

"What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Liu waved her hand, "It's just that I didn't inform my natal family. Besides, I'm not close to her. It's better not to go to places like mourning halls."

Aunt Li Xin nodded slightly, looked at Mrs. Liu and sighed: "Third Sister, I'm sorry for you."

"It's over." Liu Shi smiled at this moment: "It will be much more relaxed in the future. I don't have the old lady pressing me down, so I feel at ease."

After bidding farewell to Tang's family and Li Xin's fourth uncle, Li Xin carried a small bag on her back and went back with Liu's family.

At the same time, the news about the Li family's funeral was also spread, and everyone passed on the news one by one. Daoist Wang accepted Mrs. Zhu's invitation at noon, and once again led those apprentices to play and play, and the sound drifted far away. .

Jiu'er doesn't like making noise, and she cries whenever there is noise.Li Erlang felt sorry for his daughter and asked Jiang to take Jiu'er back to his home, which happened to be heard by Li Houbo.

Li Houbo was already angry with what happened last night, and he became even more furious after hearing this: "Where are you going to take it? If you don't stay here and guard it, you will be lazy!"

Jiang Shi was startled, and Jiu'er in his arms cried even louder.

Li Erlang immediately bulged his eyes: "Uncle, Jiu'er still doesn't understand anything. It's not uncommon for her to cry when she hears the noise. I'll ask my wife to go back and put her to sleep so she won't be startled..."

Li Houbo immediately said: "What do you mean being shocked? This is a funeral for her ancestor! She has to stay here and listen!"

Li Houzhong heard the voice from here and persuaded Li Erlang: "Don't ask your wife to take your daughter home, the sound of the gong beating is intermittent, it won't startle her..."

"It's from Erlang's family! Hurry up and hug Jiu'er back to me to coax her!"

Just as he was talking, he heard Liu's energetic voice sounding from outside the door. At this moment, the Taoist priest's voice of chanting sutras stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Take my granddaughter away!" Mrs. Liu looked at Li Houbo and Li Houzhong angrily: "Others don't love my granddaughter, but I do! You parents should also feel sorry for me! Take it back!"

Mrs. Jiang always listened to Mrs. Liu's words very much, so she immediately carried Jiu'er and stepped out of the door, followed by Li Erlang, who was a little surprised when he passed by Li Xin - even his sister's face was not very good-looking.

"What do you mean?" Li Houbo suddenly said angrily, "I'm not counting my words, am I?"

"Uncle, my mother and I want to ask you what you mean." Li Xin turned cold and said, "Jiu'er was only born a month ago and is extremely sensitive to the sounds around him. The sound of beating gongs and drums is so loud. How can she, a newborn baby girl, hear? If the eardrums are ruptured by the loud sound, and you become deaf in the future, you should bear the responsibility, uncle!"

Angry from her heart, Liu raised her foot, took off her shoes and threw it directly at Li Houzhong's face, cursing: "You are heartless! I can't protect my own daughter-in-law, I can't protect my own daughter-in-law, I can't protect my own children and grandchildren!" Daughter, I can’t protect you! Erlang wants to take Jiu’er away and you stop him. Do you want our whole family to suffer with you or something? What crime did my old lady do in her previous life, so why did she become such a useless wretch like you? I have been angry for half my life, and being angry with your mother is considered a head, and now I have to be angry with you... Li Er Er, you are also a man!"

Li Houzhong was a little overwhelmed by Liu's roar of the Hedong lion, the shoe also hit his forehead and fell to the ground, at this moment he could only look at her stupidly.

Mrs. Liu took a few breaths, and Li Xin picked up her shoes for Mrs. Liu to put on.

Mrs. Liu sneered and said to Li Houbo: "With my fast-paced meal, I didn't have a good meal and hurried back, so I have to be treated like this? That's okay. If you don't give me a good time, I won't give you a good time." !"
