Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 298 Death is like a lamp going out

The Marquis was so distressed that he didn't know what to do. He couldn't stop her at this moment. He quickly hugged the fat girl, got up and walked out.

 “Don’t cry, my adoptive father will take you home.”

“Grandma won’t let me go back, saying there’s chaos in the house.”

 “Then live in the courtyard of my foster father.”

 The housekeeper heard that his master was back and came over just in time. When he saw this, he hurried to prepare the carriage and packed several boxes of various snacks and small toys.

Jiayin poked his head out, looking a little haggard, but he didn't forget to say thank you.

 “Thank you, uncle butler!”

“Hey, hey, the eldest lady has offended the old slave.” The first steward bent down to respond, but his face became less uneasy.

The Marquis also nodded and said, "Keep an eye on the house and don't think too much. The old lady of the Li family is very sensible."

 The chief steward was completely relieved after hearing this.

Seeing the carriage go away, he quickly called the servant to close the door, and then ordered all the servants in the house.

"About Mrs. Wu, no one is allowed to mention it again, and everyone has to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who doesn't have a guard on his mouth will bear the trouble himself."

“Don’t worry, housekeeper!” Everyone responded. Mrs. Wu originally had nothing to say, but she was from the Li family, which surprised everyone.

 But now that a person has died, everything has come to an end, and it is useless to talk more.

Not talking about the Marquis Mansion, I just said that the Marquis took the good news and rode back to Suijintan in a carriage. On the way, he met the carriages of the Cui family and the Liu family. In addition to Liu Zhiheng, there was also Mr. Wen in the Liu family's carriage.

Seeing the Marquis, Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen quickly changed to the Marquis's carriage.

“Master Hou, have you heard that something happened to the Li family? Why are you having a funeral?”

Seeing the concern and worry in their eyes, the Marquis guessed that they must have gone wrong, so he said, "Don't worry, it's not Aunt Li who has something wrong. It's Jiaren's biological mother who got separated when the capital was moved. Now she has found her, but she is very ill." , passed away."

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng both breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Zhiheng didn't know the details about Li Lao's second daughter-in-law at all, but Mr. Wen heard a few words from Jiaren.

 After all, Jiaren will have to take a scientific test in the future. Whether he is filial to his parents is the first criterion for evaluating his character.

Mr. Wen didn’t see Jiaren’s mother at home, so he asked if she had died of illness.

Jiaren said he was lost, but the Li family was very strange. It seemed that no one was in a hurry to find him.

He also wondered whether he should just ask more about people's family affairs and forget about it.

 I don’t want to hear the news of death again today.

 After a while, the carriage entered the village. A tall wooden pole had been installed in front of Li's house, and a large bunch of paper money was hung, floating in the wind.

Dongmei just brought out the things. When she saw her master coming back, she hurried forward to greet him.

The Marquis took the good news and handed it to her, "Go back to our yard and take good care of the young lady."

Dongmei agreed, hugged the good news and left.

A mourning shed has been set up in the yard of Li's family, and the old people in the village are sitting outside the yard chatting.

Young people, wearing filial piety belts, walked in and out to help with big and small matters.

 Actually, they are not relatives of the Li family, so there is no need to wear mourning, but the entire Suijintan New Village has been built together with their lives. It is not a family, but it is better than a family.

 At this time, wearing a filial piety belt is also a comfort and closeness to the Li family.

Jiaren, Jiahuan, Jiaan, Jiaxi and Brother Li were kneeling in the funeral shed and burning paper money.

Jiahuan and Jiaan are both good. After all, the second uncle is not lovable, and they were not very close before. I was crying right now because I felt sorry for my brother and second uncle.

 Brother Li has never seen this second aunt before!

But Jiaren was really sad. The pain of losing his mother made him a little confused. How much he hated his mother before, now he felt so regretful and sad.

Mr. Hou, Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng, Mrs. Cui and others came forward to offer incense. The Jiaren brothers kowtowed and thanked them. Mr. Wen knelt down and shouted. Only then did Jiaren wake up and realize that the teacher was coming.

 He subconsciously hugged the teacher and burst into tears, "Teacher, wuwu, my mother...she is dead, just like that!"

Mr. Wen patted his shoulder gently, "You can cry if you want, but after you finish crying, life will continue. You still have your father, brother, grandmother, uncles and aunts, and a large family can rely on."

Jiaren nodded and choked, "I know, teacher, but..."

Mr. Wen sighed, "After you have been busy these days, you and I can go to the city and stay for a few days. The college will not start school until after the Lantern Festival, so we are not afraid of delaying our studies."

 “Okay.” Jiaren responded, kowtowed again, and thanked the teacher for his comfort.

Mrs. Cui turned around and entered the main house. The old lady was leaning on the kang, her face a little gloomy.

Seeing Mrs. Cui come in, she was about to sit up, but Mrs. Cui stopped her.

"Auntie, please rest, but don't get up. I'm a member of the family, so there's no need to be polite."

Old Mrs. Li sighed and shook Mrs. Cui's hand. She wanted to say something, but it seemed that she was stuck in her heart and couldn't get out.

Mrs. Cui poured her warm tea and whispered advice.

“Auntie, death is like a lamp going out, we still have to look forward.”

"I know, I just feel uncomfortable." As soon as the old lady responded, Mr. Hou, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhiheng came in.

The old lady asked the three of them to sit down, and the Marquis said, "Auntie, this is my negligence and I didn't take care of it..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the old lady stared, but she regained some energy and said angrily, "You have been out killing barbarians all day, and you haven't gone back to the Marquis's house a few times. How did you know that the crazy woman in the house is the second daughter-in-law? . And when I go back and see the housekeeper, I will definitely thank him for our family.

"He was so frightened, but there was no need for it. The only people in our family who thanked him were not to complain. Back then, when the war was so chaotic, not many people were meddling in saving people. The second daughter-in-law can live for two more years, and she can still die before she dies. It’s thanks to him that I can see Lao Er and Jia Ren and come home to pay their respects.”

Mr. Hou nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will tell you."

Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng and others were confused when they heard this. They didn’t understand how the second daughter-in-law of Zhongling was related to the Hou family again.

They were very close to the Li family, and the old lady had been holding back her words for a while, so she talked from beginning to end.

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh after hearing this.

 There are some mistakes in the world, and you have the opportunity to correct them, but some mistakes have no room for regret.

Mr. Wen thought of what he had just done and became more determined to take his disciples out to relax.

He said, "Auntie, after the funeral, I will take Jiaren to the city to stay for a few days, burn his head for seven days, and then send him back."

"Okay, okay, this child has a delicate mind, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him. Jiayi is not at home, and we don't know how to solve it, so we will trouble you."

The old lady agreed immediately. At this time, Li Laoer came back from outside with Mr. Feng Shui. Mr. Hou, Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen went out, leaving Mrs. Cui to accompany the old lady.

Li Laoer just decided on the location of the cemetery, and his face turned a little pale from exhaustion.

 Broken Gold Beach is not just the Li family and villagers, there are also many guests who come in and out of the valley on weekdays.

Of course, Wu Cuihua’s grave cannot be buried on the mountain. After all, no one wants to take a bath and see the grave when they look up.

Finally, we found a piece of wasteland of more than three acres between Suijintan and Dahuaishu Village. It was sunny, with a small river flowing in the distance and a view of the mountains and forests. It was a good place.

Li Laosi has already taken the village chief to the government office to report that this land has been purchased and will be used as a tomb for the Li family and other families in the village.

If the day comes when the North Land is recovered, and the elderly of each family want to bury their bones in their hometown, they can also move their graves.

But if the Northland cannot be regained for a long time, this will be the place where the old people will settle down in the future. They can also watch over Broken Gold Beach day and night to ensure that the younger generations have a safe and smooth life.

Master Hou occasionally turned around and saw Brother Cat lying behind the window of the west room. He guessed that the family was busy and could not take care of the child, so he took him back to his yard to keep company with the good news.

 The snacks and gadgets brought by the butler came in handy and soon made Brother Cat happy.
