The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 112

He Youtian, who had been "disappeared" for more than three months, is back. He didn't die in a foreign land as others thought, he came back intact, and his leg, which had been lame for several years, was healed!

Fu Lei rushed to the Great Wasteland to report the incident.

He Tao's first reaction was, God is playing tricks on people, and it is said that good people will be rewarded. Why do you help He Youtian, a person who seems to be unpredictable? !Why is this not playing with people?

Just after Fu Lei finished speaking, He Lian also came, also to share gossip.

He Tao couldn't wait to ask: "How come his legs are all healed?"

"I don't know, and he wouldn't tell me if I asked him." He Lian pouted.

"Then did he say where he went during this time?"

"I didn't have time to talk about these things!" He Lian sighed, and said like a little adult: "You don't know, the family is in trouble. When he first came back, everyone was very happy, especially grandma. Only the eyeballs can move, and after seeing him, he can move his fingers a few times. As a result, after he heard about the second sister-in-law's miscarriage, he immediately broke out and went to grandma's room to have a big fight. Now grandma can't even move her eyeballs..."

He Tao felt that this was the retribution of the Da Zhou family. He told you to kill other people's children casually, and now you will be retribution, and your favorite grandson will blame you.

"Grandpa didn't scold him? Did he say he was unfilial?"

"I scolded, I scolded so badly! But he didn't listen, and clamored to separate the family, saying that grandma killed his child, and he couldn't live with grandma anymore." He Lian snorted , and said angrily: "He said that the big house should support the elderly anyway. He said a lot, and I couldn't understand some of the words. The elder brother argued with him, saying that you were not the only one who died of the child! He also I can't live with my grandma, and said that my grandma has always been partial to my second brother. Even if we want to separate, the second room should take care of my grandma. Then the two of them started fighting. My sister-in-law helped my elder brother, and my second brother got scratched a lot on the face. Dao Dao. Later, my father and my second uncle went to pull it, but they couldn't pull it. The little brother was smart, and hid in the house from the beginning, and didn't let me out! Later, the grandfather was so angry that he passed out , Dad got angry and told my little brother to go find grand-uncle."

"Are you looking for Grand Uncle too?" Grand Uncle is the patriarch of the He family, so it will be a big deal if you find him!He Tao gloated and asked, "And then, what did the grand-uncle say when he came?"

"As soon as the great uncle came, they didn't dare to talk. The second brother said he was angry, and the eldest brother said that he followed up because he heard what the second brother said. The great uncle scolded them and left. Before I left, I said, ", the last sentence, He Lian imitated the appearance of her grand uncle, and said in a low voice: "If you dare to be so disobedient and unfilial in the future, I will drive you both out!"

He Tao smiled "puchi" and nodded He Lian's head: "You're pretty good at learning!"

After He Lian finished sharing the gossip, she was busy going back to make dinner. Seeing that she was leaving, Fu Lei hurriedly followed her.

"Ouch, flower protector!" He Tao smiled and turned to Fu Shi, "Do you think little sister and brother Lei are having fun?"

Fu Shi thought about it seriously and said, "It's quite interesting."

On the second day after He Youtian came back, a major event happened in Rongshu Village. The spiritual symbol of Rongshu Village—the 73-year-old grand uncle passed away!

On the morning of October [-]th, the Dahuangdi family was having breakfast when He Youliang hurried over and announced the news as soon as he entered the door: "Grand Uncle passed away!"

Nian Zong burst into tears: "Teacher..."

He Tao hurriedly hugged him, and turned to He Youliang anxiously, "What's the matter? Grand-uncle has always been in good health, why did you just go?"

"In the morning, I came to report the funeral. It is said that my great-uncle fell into the water while taking a walk last night. Everyone knows that my great-uncle can't swim, and he will soon die when he is rescued!" He Youliang said. I touched my tears.Grand Uncle is his most respected elder, not only him, but the He clan, even in the hearts of all the villagers in Rongshu Village, Grand Uncle is the most respectable elder.He had refrained from crying all the way, and now that he heard Nian Zong's cry, he couldn't help it either.

He sobbed and said intermittently: "Later, I invited the doctor to come, but he couldn't save me. I went there in the middle of the night... Yesterday, the day before, I saw my grand uncle. The last thing I said to him was, 'Great Uncle, please go'... As a result, Grand Uncle really, really left!"

He Tao remembered that she had said that she wanted to make a robe for the great-uncle, and the material had already been cut, but when she encountered the He family's business, she was too busy and tired, so she forgot about it.When she was about to make two sets of expensive clothes for herself and Fu Shi, she remembered this incident, and thought that the birthday of Confucius was too early, so she threw it aside.When I was packing things a few days ago, I accidentally saw the clothes and I was still thinking, wait a minute, after I have been busy for a while, it will be the same when I wait for the Spring Festival.

Unexpectedly, there would never be that opportunity again.

"Eldest sister, I have to go. Everyone in the clan has gone to the ancestral house, so I have to go too..." He Youliang cried for a while, then stood up, wiped away his tears and left.

He Tao hugged Nian Zong and asked him, "Nian Zong, let's go see Tai Uncle for the last time, okay?"

Nian Zong cried so hard that he couldn't even breathe, and nodded: "Okay, okay..."

He Tao changed into plain clothes and took Nianzong to go, while Fu Shi and Nianzu stayed at home to watch the twins.

Grand-uncle Tai had three sons and two daughters in his life. Today, only his second son He Zhiping and youngest daughter He Feng are alive. There are 11 grandchildren of the "fu" generation, seven grandsons and four granddaughters.

More than 30 years ago, after the death of the great uncle, the great uncle separated the families of the sons, built new houses for the second and third sons, and bought fertile land, while he himself lived in the ancestral house with the eldest son.The grandchildren were also presided over by him, leaving only the eldest grandson's family, and the other grandchildren moved out after they got married.

Now presiding over the funeral of the great uncle is the head of the house, Sun He Futing's family.

He Futing has two sons. The eldest son, He Youli, is 21 years old this year. He is married to his wife, Huiniang Chen of Erdong Village. They now have a three-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. They were brought by Chen Huiniang to participate in the event some time ago. Birthday party for twins.The second son, He Youzhi, is the grand-uncle's hand-picked heir. He is already engaged to Chen Huiniang's cousin, Chen Xianniang, at the age of [-] this year.

When He Tao led the weeping Nianzong to the ancestral house, many villagers who heard the news also came. He Youli and his wife, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, stood at the door to receive the guests, and explained to the villagers: "Today is to bury the great-grandfather. The mourning hall has not been set up yet, and the mourning will start tomorrow."

People in Daqi attach great importance to what happens after death. Generally, as soon as they are over 73, they start to prepare shrouds and birthday materials, and they will also look forward to the cemetery in advance.Grand Uncle is already [-], so these things are naturally not left behind.But more than these are needed for a funeral. You also need to make mourning clothes, make wreaths, make white banners, invite yin and yang students, and buy all kinds of paper. No horses, cows, carts, boxes, and cabinets can be left behind. Melons, fruits, water and wine are entertained to the guests who come to mourn, and money for incense candles is prepared for the guests... All these piles, one by one, cannot be prepared in a short time.

Now all the people in the courtyard are members of the He clan. The people from the two houses who lived alone in the ancestral house stayed in the mourning hall without landing. The other clansmen have almost arrived, but the capacity of the mourning hall is limited and there are so many He clan members. Adding up to 200 people, the mourning hall simply cannot accommodate them, and most of them are standing in the courtyard.

People from He Tao's family were also among them.This is the first time that He Tao has seen the He family other than He Lian and He Youliang since the Da Zhou family fell ill. Youliang and He Lian all came, and even the three-year-old He Guangming was embraced by Zhang Dahua, but He Youtian, who was in the limelight recently, was missing!
He Youtian used to be his great-uncle's favorite student, but he's not here at a time like this?He Tao frowned, wondering why.

At this time, He Lian found her, straightened up and made a bun face at her, as a greeting, He Tao also nodded at her.This kind of occasion is not suitable for talking too much, He Tao pulled Nian Zong to stand at the back of the line.

"Nian Zong, come here, kowtow three times to Grand Uncle."

Nian Zong nodded and knelt down, kowtowed three times politely, hugged He Tao's waist as he stood up and sobbed.

Grand-uncle's immediate family—sons, grandchildren, and the senior elders of each family were all in the mourning hall, as if they were discussing how to deal with the funeral.

What He Futing means is to follow the rules, have everything that should be there, and don't need to do too many fancy things.The money saved by the family is reserved for He Youzhi's travel expenses when he takes the child's examination next year.

However, the people in the divided rooms probably thought that the money left by the great-uncle would not go into their own pockets anyway, so it would be better to do it more lively, and they would have pride in their own face. It is beyond the reach of ordinary families, and it seems that they will not give up until the last penny of the ancestral house is used up.

Their voices became louder and louder, as if they were about to fight at any moment.

Listening to the quarrel inside, He Tao felt that he was worthless for his great-uncle. He worked hard all his life, and he was still not at peace when he left. His children and grandchildren actually quarreled in front of his dead body.

The people standing outside stretched their necks to look in the direction of the mourning hall, and whispered to the people standing next to them from time to time, probably thinking the same in their hearts.

At this time, he suddenly heard "Enough!" Then He Youzhi rushed out angrily, pushed aside the people standing in the yard and walked out.

After a while, He Youli walked in and entered the mourning hall with a sullen face.

At this time, it was already the time for the usual class, because no one thought of the incident—even if they thought of it, not so many people received the notice. The children didn't know what happened until they came, and they didn't know what happened after listening to the adults' explanations. They all started crying just like Nianzong did before.

He Youzhi, who was standing at the door to take over He Youli's dark complexion, calmed down a little, and comforted the students with grief.
