Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 337 Clean up the mourning hall
When Tian saw Tian Xiaoyu was stunned, she guessed that she might not remember herself, so she immediately smiled and said, "I am Yingchun's sister-in-law, and I even gave you a dog."

After saying this, Tian Xiaoyu suddenly realized, and immediately greeted her with a smile, saying, "Oh, it's Miss Tian, ​​I have a good memory."

"It's okay, it's okay, why are you back today?" Tian Shi smiled, and then noticed Wang Shi beside Tian Xiaoyu, a little surprised for a while, but didn't know how to speak.

"Miss Tian, ​​my family is doing errands, and I came to the village to ask for help." Tian Xiaoyu followed behind Wang, and found that asking for help was so straightforward, so she opened her mouth.

Tian's expression was very surprised, looked at Tian Xiaoyu, and said with some sentimentality, "Oh, it's my sister's fault, I shouldn't talk about this sad thing, please help? Then I will go too."

Tian Xiaoyu was a little surprised to see that Tian was so warm-hearted. After all, in her impression, the two families were not very familiar, and Wang had already handed over the eggs, so Tian Xiaoyu had no choice but to give up.

Right now is the time when people are needed to help, and it would be great if someone is willing to help.

The two talked for a while, set a time, and Tian Xiaoyu followed Wang back.

The two arrived at home, looking at the desolate yard, Tian Xiaoyu thought for a while, then turned to Wang and said, "Mother, let's start tidying up the mourning hall? The sackcloth and filial cloth are not ready yet."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "I listen to you."

Tian Fugui's body was still placed in the room, Tian Xiaoyu asked Gu Yunqing and Dongzi to fetch water from the well and put them next to the bed, with seven or eight water basins, so that the temperature could be lowered.

"Sir, you take Dongzi to the town to buy wreaths, shrouds and other things. By the way, you can also order father's memorial tablet and tombstone." Tian Xiaoyu took out the white cloth she took from home yesterday, and handed it to Mrs. Wang. Tell Gu Yunqing.

Four people stood in the main room, the sad atmosphere was obvious, Gu Yunqing nodded quickly, and drove out in the carriage with Dongzi.

Seeing Wang's tears, Tian Xiaoyu persuaded, "Mother, don't cry, I'm in charge of everything."

"It's lucky to have you, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Wang said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry for your mother before, don't take it to heart."

"No, don't worry, even though my father is gone, I still respect you like a mother. If you have anything to do, just tell me. Although I am married, I am still the daughter of the Tian family after all." Tian Xiao Seeing Wang crying sadly, Yu was also a little moved.

The two were talking, and Wang took Tian Xiaoyu to start sewing in the main room. Wearing hemp and filial piety has been a tradition since ancient times, and there must be no difference. The white cotton cloth was sewn into long strips three fingers wide. , Wrapped around the forehead in a circle, tied behind the head and hang down to the ankle, this is called Dai Xiao.

Phi linen means wearing sackcloth, which is simply made of sackcloth. There are only three people in Tian's family, so the clothes are easy to make.

After the two of them had finished their jewelry, they started to tie white flowers, tidy up the mourning hall, incense table, offerings, paper money, kneeling mats for kneeling down to return gifts, and braziers, all of which needed to be prepared.

Wang thought that Tian Xiaoyu was still in confinement, so she didn't dare to make her too tired. Most of the things were done by herself, so she could feel at ease.

The two were still making flowers, and the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who had promised to help in the morning came over one after another. Seeing that the two were busy, it was hard to say anything, and they each received their errands and got busy.

After all, this funeral is a sad thing, I don't want to be so lively like a happy event, there are laughter everywhere, in the main room now, it is so quiet, it seems that a needle can be heard when it falls.

There was the sound of cloth being torn, and the rest was the sound of sewing, and even the sound of coughing was suppressed as low as possible. The whole mourning hall was very solemn and awe-inspiring.

Gu Yunqing took Dongzi to the town, and with Dongzi's guidance, it was very fast to buy things. The longevity store saw that Gu Yunqing had bought seven or eight wreaths, and sent a carriage to Tianjia Village directly. .

Waiting for the wreaths to be moved into the courtyard, there were shrouds and ingots piled up in the main room, everyone exclaimed, this Tian Xiaoyu married a good husband, and he was so generous.

Generally, people buy one or two wreaths at most for funeral affairs, because the wreaths in this longevity store are very expensive, and they are usually made by themselves, such as paper flowers and bamboo strips. Like Gu Yunqing, they buy seven or eight at a time. indivual.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Mrs. Wang had packed up the mourning hall. I was afraid that many people would come tonight. After thinking about it, she said to Tian Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, you are watching in the main room now. A few women are going to cook, and many people will come to worship at night."

"Success, mother, you can go, leave this place to me." Tian Xiaoyu nodded and didn't say much.

I don't understand the funeral process here, so naturally I have to leave it to someone who knows.

Mrs. Wang took a few wives to the kitchen to cook, and the gossiping wives on the way dragged Mrs. Wang and said, "You girl seems to have a good temper, why isn't it as bad as you said in the past? .”

"That's right, your son-in-law is too rich, why is the wreath bought in such a way, how much money does it cost?"

"Did she go to some master as a child? The clothes on her body are the same as those of the rich lady."

"Bullshit, don't talk nonsense." When Wang heard this, she immediately opened her mouth, choked up, and said, "I was deceived by lard before, and I will hear you speak bad things about Xiaoyu in the future. I'm going to be angry."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was really moving, the two women fell silent, and said in their hearts, obviously you said that at the beginning, but now you have changed your temper.

In the kitchen, everyone performed their duties. They are all old women who have been in charge of the house for many years, and they know how to do it.

In fact, this Tianjia Village is poorer than Yushu Village, that's why the Wang family sold Tian Xiaoyu to Gu Yunqing for five taels of silver, and that's why these old women said that Tian Xiaoyu was from a rich family when they saw Tian Xiaoyu's clothes. Mrs.

Gu Yunqing led Dongzi to climb up and down with a ladder, and hung white lanterns, white cloth, and white flowers on the beams of the house, so as to make the whole yard white.

Tian Xiaoyu's technique is very good, but the speed is slow. Others have tied two or three flowers, and she only tied one. Tian Shi sat beside Tian Xiaoyu, seeing that no one noticed, she asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiaoyu, why do I think you don't look well?"

At this moment, Tian Xiaoyu's lips were pale, her face was also pale, without a trace of blood, she grinned and said, "I'm fine, I should be tired."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and passed out.
