Changping Village.

The rain has been falling intermittently.

It was completely dark, but Yang Huazhong hadn't come back yet.

Sun made dinner and brought it to the table. Xiaohua tied Feng'er's bib on it. Feng'er saw the sumptuous dishes on the table and glanced at Xiao Duo who was beside him absent-mindedly. The little guy opened his eyes with confusion and curiosity.

asked: "Why doesn't Aunt Duoer eat?"

Xiaoduo came back to her senses and gave Feng'er a friendly smile: "Auntie has no appetite, Feng'er eats."

Feng'er looked at Xiaohua again and saw his mother winking at him. Feng'er remembered the words his mother had taught him in the backyard kitchen.

How do you say that?

The little guy opened his mouth, but suddenly he couldn't remember all the words.

Seeing the chicken drumsticks on the plate in front of her, Feng'er had an idea and slapped one into the bowl in front of Xiaoduo.

"This is for the little sister. The little sister is hungry."

Xiaoduo raised her eyes in shock, watching Feng'er licking her little hand that had grabbed the chicken leg, and subconsciously raised her hand to caress her flat belly.

"Okay, Auntie, eat it."

Seeing Xiaoduo finally lifting the chopsticks, Sun and Xiaohua looked at each other, and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaohua touched Feng'er's head happily, thanks to this little guy.

"Mom, please sit down and eat too." Xiaohua greeted Mrs. Sun again.

Mrs. Sun nodded and sat down, while the two mothers ate their supper and listened to what was going on outside.

In such a large hall, usually an oil lamp is lit on the dining table at night, and then another oil lamp is hung in the corridor leading to the backyard to light the way.

But tonight, Mrs. Sun calmly lit a few more candles in the main room, trying to make the main room as bright as possible. After all, someone in the Xiang family passed away, and her two daughters were both twins. They had low arrogance and were more courageous.

It's enough.

But even so, Mrs. Sun was still a little scared. I couldn't explain this kind of fear, but she just felt uncomfortable all over.

But I didn't dare to say it out loud, lest the children panic.

When the dinner was almost finished, Yang Huazhong finally came back.

"Have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Sun hurriedly came over and helped take the raincoat and bamboo hat that Yang Huazhong took off, and placed them to dry under the eaves outside the main room.

Yang Huazhong looked at his wife and daughters in front of him, and raised his hand to wipe the rain and sweat from his face, "The Xiang family is in such a mess now, how can they still care about eating?"

"Doesn't that mean you haven't eaten two meals? I'll get you some food!"

Mrs. Sun turned around and quickly went to the backyard kitchen.

Yang Huazhong came back, and her confidence suddenly became stronger.

In the main room, Xiaohua made a bowl of hot tea for Yang Huazhong to warm his hands, while Xiaoduo couldn't wait to ask Yang Huazhong about the situation of the Xiang family at this time.

Yang Huazhong took a sip of hot tea and knew that his little girl's thoughts were there, so he quickly told Xiaoduo about the current situation of the Xiang family.

"Your uncle has rushed back from the other side of the mountain, and Sheng Nan's uncle's family has also come over. Now your uncle and your uncle are staying there to help your father-in-law take care of Jin Nan's funeral. Those two

My aunt is staying with your mother-in-law."

"It was your uncle who asked me to come back. He said there were enough manpower there and he asked me to come back."

"Today and tomorrow we will hold a memorial service at home and go to the Taoist temple to invite Taoist Priest Yuan. In the morning the next day, Taoist Priest Yuan's apprentice Xiao Mo will go to Xiang's house to perform a small ritual for Jin Nan and then send him up the mountain."

"I heard them say before that Jin Nan's cemetery should be at the ancestral grave of Lao Xiang's family, next to his grandmother's grave..."

Yang Huazhong told Xiaoduo everything he knew.

"Dad, when will I go back? No matter how you say it, he is my eldest brother. If I don't go, it won't make sense. Besides, eldest brother Jin Nan is actually not a bad person. He has no idea. My parents-in-law make the decision for him.

He is actually very pitiful..."

Xiaohua said with red eyes.

When she first talked about kissing Xiang Shengnan, her father-in-law gave her the impression that he was not majestic at all, but very attentive and kind.

My mother-in-law is warm, polite, and attentive.

It wasn't until I got to know him more that I discovered that my father-in-law is not manly, like women, he likes to worry about things, is short-sighted and has no independent opinions.

My mother-in-law, on the other hand, likes to take care of everything. She has to take care of everything from dealing with favors and going out among relatives to as small as what to eat for this meal and how much salt to put in this bowl of food!

Seungnam is lucky to have established a separate family with his uncle, but brother Jinnan is not so lucky. Everything is arranged by his parents.

The only time I made the decision on my own was when I was seduced by the troublemaker Cui Er...

So in Xiaoduo's heart, Jin Nan was actually a miserable man. He was delayed in a cold weather and died, and he died more cowardly than others!

It was Jin Nan's last journey, and she, as a younger sibling, had to go and see him off.

"Dad, is it possible if I go back tomorrow?" Xiaoduo asked again.

Yang Huazhong thought for a moment and nodded: "I know you must be in a hurry to go back. I have discussed it with your uncle and Shengnan, and I will send you back after breakfast tomorrow!"

Xiaoduo nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Hua said with some worry: "Duo'er is pregnant now and is not as good as before, and the Xiang family's side must be noisy and messy. We have to go to someone here to accompany Duo'er and keep her company, which is better than the uncle's house."

I don't trust those women."

Xiaoduo said: "You definitely can't go with your big belly. My mother still has to take care of grandma and Feng'er, so naturally she can't go either."

"My father is a man, so it's not convenient. It's not convenient for Xiaojie to take my daughter with me. There's no suitable person to accompany me. In fact, I don't need anyone to accompany me. I can do it on my own. I'm not a child."

Xiaohua glanced at Xiaoduo, "You are still young and don't understand. You are the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family. Do you think it is so simple to handle funerals?"

"To put it bluntly, Jin Nan is not married and has no one to live by. The only person who can help him this time is his younger brother Shengnan."

"As Shengnan's wife, you will definitely be affected too!"

It happened that Mrs. Sun came over with food. When she heard this, she said, "I'll go and stay with Duo'er. I'll just say hello to your fifth aunt and let her take my place for two days."

"

"No matter what, our daughter is the most important at this time. Mom will accompany you back to Xiang's house. Dad, what do you think?" Sun asked Yang Huazhong again.

Yang Huazhong nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean too. Put down the other tasks at hand and settle this matter with Duo'er first!"

In this way, the next day, Sun's Gastrodia elata got up and cooked breakfast. After eating breakfast, he explained what needed to be explained. Yang Huazhong drove a mule cart along the river at the foot of the mountain and picked up a tree from a tree.

The Taoist temple near the tree passed by and sent the couple to the entrance of Xiangjiazhuang. The man just turned back.

At home, Xiaohua took Feng'er to temporarily live in the Sun's house opposite, and stayed with Xiaojie and the others.

Yang Huazhong was not idle when he returned home. He immediately changed his carriage and went to the nearby Qingshui Town. He found a coffin shop, cut two pieces of incense paper, bought a bundle of incense candles and a firecracker.
