Chapter 111

Li Jinmei was a little bit stupid and didn't understand. Xu Qing asked her to sit next to her. She would play and teach later.

We tried it twice. At the beginning, some people made mistakes frequently. After we were familiar with it, we got to know it very soon.

There are many kinds of Hu cards in mahjong. Sometimes Xu Qing doesn't remember all of them, so he takes a pen and paper to write down all the Hu cards. Everyone passes them on to each other. In case someone makes a mistake, he can check them.

After five or six games, even Li Jinmei, who was watching by the side, learned how to play.

Xu Qing began to increase the reward and punishment system, using peanuts as chips. In the end, those who won the most can get two Jin of sugar fried chestnut sponsored by Xu Qing. The rest can't eat it, only those who won.

Originally it was boring to pass the time, but I didn't expect that everyone would be addicted to playing.

Duanmu ring medicine does not match, a meal is waiting to open mahjong table.

His fortune was good and bad. He saw that he could win, but he lost all in a twinkling of an eye. Every time he watched Li Changting eat sugar and stir fry chestnuts, he was envious.

The leisurely days always go by fast.

There are still three days to go before New Year's Eve. It's new year's Eve, but there's bad news from the Xu family.

When the weather was coldest, grandma Xu didn't get well after taking the medicine. She finally went without going through the winter.

The Xu family didn't panic when grandma Xu died suddenly.

Xu Laoniang has been psychologically prepared. She asks Xu Ying and Xu Jie to call people in the village. Xu Ying turns around and comes to Xu Qing.

Xu Ying said flatly, "my mother sent porridge to my grandmother this morning. When she came into the room, she found that my grandmother was stiff and had no breath. She should have gone at night."

Xu Qing poured her a cup of hot tea and asked, "what are you going to do for the funeral?"

"Near the new year, we can't have a big funeral." Although they don't have the conditions to do it, Xu Ying said, "I guess it should be asking the mage in the village to do it for two days. Elder sister, will you and your brother-in-law go there?"

Xu Qing was silent.

"The snow is deep on the mountain now. Be careful when you go out." Duanmu ring reminds us.

Xu Ying was immersed in the complex mood after Xu's death. She didn't notice that there was another stranger in the room. She looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.

The man sitting cross legged on the Kang has a beautiful face. His facial features are as clear and delicate as carving. Under a pair of sword eyebrows are a pair of slender peach blossom eyes. He is smiling and affectionate. If you are not careful, you will fall into the enemy's hands.

Xu Ying looked at it blankly for a while. She couldn't help admiring that the young master was really good-looking, but it was so good-looking that people just thought it was out of reach.

Xu Ying can't help but think of Hao Wei. When Hao Wei laughs, she always shows two tiger teeth, which are very cute.

Xu Ying dare not think more, afraid to think more, the heart is happy and sour.

No one likes to move these days. No one wants to go to the funeral in the cold wind. In addition, grandma Xu has always had a bad relationship with the villagers, so few of them are willing to give her a funeral.

After counting the family's spare money, Mrs. Xu finally decided to do the ritual for only one day and bury herself tomorrow. Anyway, few people came. She could make do with inviting the funeral attendants to a meal.

It doesn't matter whether other people come or not. Xu's mother is worried about Xu Qing's unwillingness to come. It's reasonable to say that Xu Qing and Li Changting should come to keep filial piety and send some gift money.

Instead of letting Li Changting go, Xu Qing came to Xu's house by himself.

Xu's mother saw that Xu Qing was carrying a basket in her hand. She was very happy, but she couldn't be too happy.

"You're here. Where's your husband? Won't he come?" Asked old lady Xu.

Xu Qing looked at a few scattered people in the yard and said to Xu Laoniang, "if he doesn't come, I won't stay. I'll leave after delivering things."

Old lady Xu's face changed slightly: "don't you keep filial piety?"

"Second sister." A young man in filial piety came out of the room and saw Xu Qing and laughed.

I haven't seen him for many years. Now Xu Jie is almost as tall as Xu Qing. He is dressed in a blue cotton padded gown with satin. Although he is covered with filial piety, he looks more respectable than other people's children.

"This is your brother Xu Jie. I'm afraid you can't recognize him after so many years' absence." Xu Laoniang introduced to Xu Qing with a proud face.

Xu Jie looks a lot more stable, with a smile on his face, but his eyes are indifferent. He has no feelings for Xu Qing, but he has to pretend to be familiar with him. Unfortunately, he is not very well dressed when he is young.

Xu Qing took a blank look at Xu Jie and took out the things in the basket: "I brought a kilo of bacon, three salted fish and two gifts."

A kilo of bacon is not much, but the three fish are very big. Everyone pays ten Wen or eight Wen as a gift. Xu Qing's two yuan silver is a lot.

But Xu Qing also said: "I don't keep filial piety, and I don't cry. It's my utmost duty to send her this last thing."

"How can we not keep filial piety?" Old lady Xu disagreed and said, "you still have to give your grandmother a funeral. She's gone. How can you still remember how unhappy she was before?"Xu Qing sneered: "although people are dead, those who are alive still remember that I don't want to be filial to her, and I don't want to be buried for her. Who can do anything to me?"

Xu's mother knew Xu Qing's temper, but she didn't want to. Even if she tried to persuade her, it was useless. She even sent something to Xu Qing. Xu's mother said, "then go and kowtow to your grandmother."

"No way." Xu Qing refused directly.

"You Are you so heartless? " Mother Xu is really unhappy this time.

"I can be more heartless." Xu Qing said, "if you talk nonsense again, I'll take everything away. Today, I'll take it as if I haven't been here. Anyway, I don't have fame in the early morning. I don't think there are too many more things that make people laugh."

Xu Laoniang held back her anger and glanced at some people not far away. At last, she gritted her teeth and said, "OK, you can go."

Xu Qing left with an empty basket and didn't want to stay more for a minute.

Xu Jie looked at Xu Qing's back and couldn't help thinking of the expression of resentment after Xu Qing was beaten.

The news that Xu Qing didn't go to the funeral for Xu's grandmother soon spread all over the village, but almost no one thought Xu Qing was not good at it.

Although there was no funeral, the gifts, money and things were delivered. That's enough. Don't those girls who are married far away still don't come back to give their relatives a funeral, but only send gifts and money back.

In the eyes of the villagers, it's enough to have a son or grandson to attend the funeral.

Xu's funeral lasted only one day, and she was buried the next day.

It was so cold that several men helped to bury the grave. When they came back, they were infected with the cold, which made the women in the family resent grandma Xu. Those who died early had to die at this time.

These people were ill. Although old lady Xu knew about it, she didn't say anything and didn't visit them.
