I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 287 Mass Funeral
Gu Tuo rolled his eyes at his son. "Brother Long, speak carefully."

"Yes, my son knows!" Gu Yuanlong nodded obediently, and he shut up as expected, but his eyes were still full of sarcasm when he looked at the group of crying villagers in front of him.

Xia Ying was not much better.

Back then when Gu Ji suffered a catastrophe, the members of his clan hid far away.Gu Tuo came back to the village with his three children. It was true that the village took them in, but how many people were willing to pay attention to them?
The only Seventh Aunt enthusiastically came to help every day, but her real purpose was to get benefits from their family and supplement herself!
There are also those children in the village who have nothing to do to bully Gu Yuanlong and his brothers...

She didn't believe that other people in the village didn't know about these things!But everyone turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, what they did made her feel sick!
If she hadn't made a fuss later and told the patriarch Gu Yuanlong that he might be successful in studying, I'm afraid the attitude of the villagers towards them would not have changed!

It is said that the country people are simple, but the simple people also have their own unique simplicity and shrewdness.

They are not bad people, but they are not very good people either.

No one in this world is stupid, when it is beneficial, they will jump towards it like an ant seeing honey, and when it is not beneficial, they will run away as nothing to do with themselves, this is human nature, Xia Ying admits.She didn't blame the villagers for not saving them, after all, with the abilities of the Gu family villagers, they couldn't save them, could they?
It's just that, seeing their family's life getting better and better, and Gu Ji's reputation revived, this group of people came here again to act as filial sons and grandchildren. This scene still made her feel very ironic.

Not to mention that Gu Yuanlong made complaints, but in fact, why didn't she want to complain?
But she was not as straightforward as Gu Yuanlong, she just said softly: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is sweet. Sure enough, there are very few sincere people in this world!"

So, they only need to make a few trustworthy real friends!Others, whatever they want!

When help is really needed, those few true friends will definitely stand up unswervingly!Just like Song Jinyan.

Gu Tuo understood what she meant.The man only frowned, but didn't reprimand her again.

After the patriarch's cries came to an end, Gu Tuo stepped forward: "Second uncle, don't cry. Now that the remains of grandpa and uncle have been recovered, this is a happy event. Gu Ji's grievances have been cleared again, Now we should be happy!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you should be happy, you should be happy!" The old patriarch nodded quickly, holding Gu Tuo's hand tightly with his skinny hands.

"Brother Tuo, Gu Ji still has such a good son and grandson like you, Fifth Brother and the others should rest in peace! Now that we have such a good son and grandson like you in Gujia Village, Second Uncle can rest assured!"

He kept praising Gu Tuo for a long time, and then he called out: "Where's the coffin bearer? Come here!"

The young and middle-aged men in the village stood up immediately, and everyone took their places beside the coffins, only to hear one sound—"Get up!"

They stood up and lifted the 24 coffins together!
Immediately, the band outside also began to beat the drums, and the shrill suona sounded through the sky, as if they were clearing the way for the souls of the dead.

As a filial son and virtuous grandson, Gu Tuo naturally had to wear heavy filial piety and walk in the front with a banner in his hand.

Xia Ying led a few children and followed him closely, and they scattered paper money all the way.

After them, came the old patriarch and the others.

The whole village carried 24 sets of coffins to the ancestral grave for burial. This scene is not insignificant.

People in nearby villages heard the news, and they rushed to watch the excitement.

The old patriarch immediately covered his face and began to cry again, and everyone in the village couldn't stop crying.

However, Gu Tuo and Xia Ying only opened their eyes. They looked straight ahead and moved their feet firmly step by step.

Watched by the crowded crowd on both sides of the road, they walked into Gu Ji's ancestral grave, and heard the old patriarch shout: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped and the coffin was lowered.

A few Taoist priests came over and began to chant scriptures around the coffin, babbling non-stop.

Gu Tuo and Xia Ying's family were also arranged to kneel down. According to etiquette, Xia Ying knelt until her knees became numb.

Hey, she loathes this evil old society more and more!

Yesterday they collected the remains of Gu Ji's ancestors for burial. Everyone spliced ​​the bones together and put them in the coffin to lie down. She bent her waist thousands of times a day, and now her waist is still sore!
At night, they only lay down with their eyes closed for an hour or two, and they got up early in the morning to prepare the banquet for the villagers and other miscellaneous things. The whole family was exhausted.

Coupled with the fact that several Taoist priests kept chanting birdsong that she could not understand, Xia Ying felt that these chanting were like a lullaby. The more she listened to it, the more dizzy she felt, and her head kept going down like fishing Little by little.

In the end, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she simply pushed her head forward and pressed her forehead against Gu Tuo's back.

Gu Tuo originally straightened his back, but he knelt straight on the ground, listening to the Taoist chanting with a respectful expression.

Suddenly, something came up behind him, and he even heard slightly heavy breathing?

The man sighed helplessly, and he moved his back back so that the little woman could lean more comfortably.

"father?"

Gu Yuanlong also noticed Xia Ying's actions, so he called out softly.

Gu Tuo shook his head towards his son, signaling him not to wake Xia Ying up.She is indeed very tired.

However, Gu Yuanlong said: "Father, I want to tell you, come a little further to the right, we will block her, and others will not know that she is slacking off to sleep!"

For a long time, he was seeking Xia Ying's welfare!Fortunately, he thought that this little guy was trying to wake Xia Ying up, so that she could fulfill her responsibility as a grandson's wife!
Gu Tuo twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, but his body moved an inch to the right smoothly following his son's instructions.

Gu Yuanlong hurriedly directed his younger siblings to move forward, and the father and son covered Xia Ying up tightly, allowing her to sleep soundly in this noisy environment.

Although the firecrackers were crackling all around, and the humming of Taoist priests was like mosquitoes buzzing, it never stopped from beginning to end.But Xia Ying was really tired, so as soon as she closed her eyes, she quickly fell into a deep sleep, and no noise outside could disturb him!

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly there was a bang in my ear!
With a loud gong, Xia Ying's eardrums almost burst!

She was so frightened that she woke up immediately!
Raising her head quickly, she was about to see what was going on when Gu Yuanlong's little hand grabbed her.

"Mother, don't move, bow your head!"

Xia Ying bowed her head obediently, and after hearing a few loud gongs, the old patriarch shouted—"The auspicious time has come, let's bury!"
