Chapter 254 You Couldn't Be a Carpenter in Your Last Life, Did You?
Zheng Guan looked back at Cheng Xia, and asked in confusion, "What else is there?"

Cheng Xia had already seen Li Zheng mixed in the crowd, and remembering what Li Zheng had done during this time, Cheng Xia decided to mention it to Zheng Guan, she walked up to Zheng Guan and whispered something.

Every time Cheng Xia said something, Zheng Guan's face became darker, and finally finished listening, but Zheng Guan just nodded his head, replied "I make my own decision", then turned and left.

Cheng Xia looked at the back of Zheng Guan leaving with a group of yamen servants, and suddenly felt that it was really a blessing for the people of Chong'an County to have such parents and officials.

The people went away with a huff, and Aunt Tian Shu and Tian also talked to him and went back home.The courtyard that was overcrowded just a moment ago is so quiet that it makes people crazy.The only movement in the solitude was the heart-piercing shouts and curses from the second uncle and aunt from the room next door.Cheng Xia sneered, so what if Second Aunt cursed her again, Cheng Qiu deserved what he deserved, and Cheng Qiu's current state was inseparable from Second Aunt's usual connivance and abetment.

Father Cheng and Cheng Zuo stood aside dejectedly. They didn't expect things to turn out like this, which was far beyond their imagination.

Cheng Xia felt that Cheng You was pulling her sleeve tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave.Cheng Xia raised her hand and patted his hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, my sister won't leave, you go back to the bamboo house with me first, and tell your brother-in-law that we will be with your mother for the last time tonight, and let mother Rest in peace."

Cheng You held back his tears, but still let the tears roll down, he nodded with a sob.

As soon as he turned around to leave, he saw Yang Dalang walking over with Xiaolong in his arms. He still had a basket in his hand, and he didn't know what he was holding.

When Cheng Xia saw Yang Dalang approaching, he suddenly had the urge to cry. Yang Dalang glanced at Cheng Lao and Cheng Zuo beside him, and directly pulled Cheng Xia into the door.

Removed the cloth covering the basket, and brought out two dishes and a few crappy steamed buns inside, Yang Dalang took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Cheng Xia, "Let's eat a little first, I'll stay here with you tonight." Keep it."

Cheng Xia sobbed and threw herself into Yang Dalang's arms, sobbed for a while, and then stopped her tears. Once she cried, Cheng You would be even more sad.

Xiaolong in Yang Dalang's arms held his mouth and wanted to cry because of grievance. He struggled to get down, walked up to the silent Cheng You, carefully grabbed the corner of Cheng You's clothes, and put his little hand in Cheng You's, "Little uncle, please don't cry, please eat something, I made it with uncle."

Cheng Xia looked at Yang Dalang in shock, saw him nodding, saying that Xiaolong insisted on making these meals with him, all the dishes were washed by him, Cheng Xia was even more moved, she picked up Xiaolong and kissed him on the face, this child At this point, she is already so understanding. How could she not love such a good child.

Xiaolong wiped away the tears from the corners of Cheng Xia's eyes little by little, and said softly, "Mother, I will accompany you."

"Okay," Cheng Xia buried her head in Xiaolong's neck, and answered with a sob.

Father Cheng and Cheng Zuo entered the door, saw them, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Girl Xia, I'm sorry for your mother." After a long time, Father Cheng finally spoke.

Cheng Xia glanced up at him lightly, then shook her head, "It's too late." Since everyone is gone, who should I show my repentance to?Moreover, if she hadn't exposed Gu's true face, Father Cheng would still not know how to repent. Such a person would never be forgiven for the rest of his life.

Cheng Xia didn't look at him anymore, just ate some food, then put Xiaolong in Xiu'e's previous room and let him sleep. Cheng Xia, Yang Dalang and Cheng You sat in Zhang's room for one night, and sent her off for the last time. Procedure.

Early the next morning, when Cheng Xia opened the door, he saw several yamen servants standing in the yard, and there was a coffin next to the yamen servants.After Cheng Xia asked, she found out that Zheng Guan went back to the county last night to buy a coffin, and asked them to bring it to her early this morning, and help bury Mrs. Zhang by the way.

The folks who got up early also came to help, Cheng Xia was grateful for their kindness, went back to the house and put on new clothes for Mrs Zhang, and meticulously combed her hair, and then someone carried Mrs Zhang into the coffin.

The moment the coffin lid was closed, Cheng Xia completely understood what it means to conclude a coffin, and Zhang's life ended like this.

Mrs. Zhang was buried in the field of her own home. Everything was kept simple. There were no overwhelming white flags, and no howling that resounded throughout Qingxian Village.

The moment the graves were piled up, Cheng Xia knew that Mrs. Zhang had completely disappeared from their sight.

It was only noon when we got back to Cheng's house, Cheng Xia asked Cheng You to pack up and go back to the bamboo house with her.Seeing the joy flashing in Cheng You's big eyes swollen from crying, Cheng Xia felt sad again.

Father Cheng naturally objected, so Cheng Xia found out the 100 taels of silver that Gu had previously hidden from the room where Mrs. Gu lived, and patted it in front of Father Cheng, "This is my mother's life. Come on, if you want to keep this money, you can keep it. Didn’t you mean that you want to marry a wife for your eldest brother? Didn’t you mean that you want to have a few children to inherit the incense of the Cheng family? Let you go. I won't let him come back, if you don't like it, go to the county magistrate and sue me."

Cheng Xia said, and suddenly laughed, "I don't think you will bother to find the county magistrate, Cheng You is a child abandoned by you, and you don't need to show any father-son affection here, let alone us No matter what the people watching think, even you yourself probably feel disgusted.”

Cheng Xia saw that Cheng You packed up his things, it was just a package that couldn't be smaller, which made people feel sad.Cheng Xia pulled Cheng You and followed Yang Dalang out of Cheng's house, and the father Cheng behind him did as she expected, and didn't say a word to object.

Walking out of Cheng's yard, Cheng Xia couldn't help but look back, she sighed, she probably won't step in this yard again in the future.

Recalling the first time she entered the courtyard, she frankly squeezed Liu Wen, and was chased by Mrs. Zhang with the soles of her shoes. That scene seemed to be right in front of her eyes, but half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.The Cheng family was lively and lively back then, but now only Father Cheng and Cheng Zuo remained.

On the way back, Xiaolong insisted on breaking free from Yang Dalang's arms, walked slowly to Cheng You's side, took Cheng You's hand, and said cautiously, "Little uncle, I will always be with you from now on, okay?"

He is also a child without a mother. Although he is still young, he also knows that his little uncle is very sad.

Cheng You looked down at Xiaolong with tears in his eyes, finally nodded, held Xiaolong's hand even tighter, and walked up the mountain step by step.

Looking at the backs of the two children supporting each other, Cheng Xia suddenly felt a little comfort in her heart. It's so good that the two of them can still have a companion.

Yang Dalang held Cheng Xia's hand, seeing her heavy dark circles and thin face, he suddenly felt distressed, he suddenly hugged her in his arms, seeing her panicked and about to come down, he whispered softly in her ear He said, "Sleep, sleep well, and when you wake up, nothing will happen."

Yang Dalang's voice seemed to be bewitching, and Cheng Xia really leaned into his arms and closed his eyes.

He can always give her a sense of security when she needs it most, making her feel that as long as she has this person by her side, she will be fearless even if the sky falls.

Yang Dalang gently put Cheng Xia on the bed, seeing that she was sleeping deeply, he hissed softly to Xiaolong and Cheng You who were standing beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you two want to sleep for a while?"

Cheng You didn't sleep all night, and Xiaolong didn't sleep well either, waking up intermittently.Yang Dalang felt distressed when he saw how drooping their eyelids were.

"I don't want to, I want to watch my sister." Cheng You shook his head firmly.

"Then I don't want it either." Xiaolong watched Cheng You shook his head and followed suit, "I want to look after Madam."

Yang Dalang patted the heads of the two people amusedly, "I'm watching your sister and your aunt, what do you need, you two brats? Take off your shoes and go to sleep."

Cheng You and Xiaolong Youqi listened to Yang Dalang's words, they climbed onto the bed and covered themselves with quilts and fell asleep next to Cheng Xia.

Yang Dalang looked at the exactly right bed, thought for a while and closed the door behind him.

Xiaolong and Cheng You can sleep together in the future, so he will build a new cot for them.Originally, the bed in the room, because Lin Xiu had slept on it, Cheng Xia never moved it, and finally he simply lifted the bed out and burned it in front of Lin Xiu's tomb.

Cheng Xia said that as long as she lay on that bed, she could think of Lin Xiu, and she felt uncomfortable.

It happened that there was an empty space in the middle, and while the three of them were sleeping, he was able to quickly make the bed.

Cheng Xia slept until it was getting late, and slept for three full hours.When she got up, she found that Xiaolong and Chengyou were sleeping on the left and right respectively, and she felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart.

Didn't see Yang Dalang, but heard the sound of jingling outside, Cheng Xia carefully put on his shoes and went out, seeing what Yang Dalang was doing not far away, couldn't help but exclaimed.

What Yang Dalang was doing turned out to be a modern high and low double bed, and a small staircase was thoughtfully built on the right side of the double bed. Cheng Xia was so stunned that she couldn't speak. She always thought that this thing was only available in modern times. Yes, but Yang Dalang actually knew how to do it.

Cheng Xia repeatedly praised, "You really have the potential to be a carpenter, isn't this the so-called talent?"

Back then, Yang Dalang made the swing frame and the small house for rose sauce in the forbidden area of ​​death, and he made it quickly and well. Now the bunk bed he made has refreshed Cheng Xia's cognition.This Yang Dalang, wouldn't he be a carpenter in his previous life, right?

Yang Dalang glared at Cheng Xia with a cold face on purpose, "Nonsense."

"Why?" Cheng Xia scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "You think carpenters are ashamed, carpenters are not ashamed, and the emperor is a carpenter, no, it's nothing."

Yang Dalang was taken aback for a moment, his mind turned around, he was still puzzled, "Which emperor is a carpenter?"
