80s Raising a Baby

Chapter 386 286: Burial

However, Chen Zhonglan has long been shameless, and this incident did not affect her very much.

The opera babbling outside the mourning hall didn't stop until after one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the whole village fell silent in an instant.

Only Chen Zhongwu and his children were guarding the old house. When the night wind blew, the whole house was gloomy and chilly.

At this time, there was no distinction between the male side and the female side, and they all sat together.

Chen Zhongwu looked at Ye Qian who was yawning non-stop, and said softly, "If you're sleepy, you can rely on me to sleep first."

They were all wearing filial piety at this time, Ye Qian glanced at him, picked up a towel beside him and laid it on his shoulders, and fell asleep.

Just when everyone was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden rustling sound next to him, and then Chen Zhongwu asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?"

Seeing Chen Zhongwu's gloomy face, Mrs. Chen shivered in fright, and then replied confidently: "I'm too old to keep my spirits. Go back to the room and sleep."

Chen Zhongwu: "Where are you going to sleep at night? Your bed is in the back room."

Mrs. Chen: "I'm going to sleep at your fourth brother's house. I can't sleep well with all of you here."

Chen Zhongwu: "Now that Dad is like this, none of us can sleep soundly."

"Besides, Dad hasn't been buried yet, what if Dad misses you if you go out!"

When old lady Chen heard that old man Chen thought about it, she immediately trembled in fright, and said sharply: "Your father is dead, what do you think?"

"Father is dead, but his soul hasn't left. He might be watching us from that place." Chen Zhongwu looked around while speaking.

Chen Zhonglan and Mrs. Chen had a ghost in their hearts, and they panicked even more when they heard it.

Boss Chen didn't sleep deeply. Looking at the pale-faced couple, he naturally knew what was going on.

But the wake is always the time when the wife goes back to sleep when the partner and children have never heard of anyone keeping the wake.

Hearing this, Boss Chen's expression turned pale, and he said coldly, "Mother, if you're going to be sleepy, sleep in the room."

Old lady Chen looked at Boss Chen and Chen Zhongwu, and sat back reluctantly.

But I didn't dare to go back to bed and sleep by myself, I just sat next to everyone.

During this period, only Chen Zhongwu and Chen Boss were awake, and the others did not know whether they were really asleep or pretended to be asleep.

When the next day just dawned, all the helpers came.

The old lady Chen just felt that the old man was looking at her all night, and she didn't sleep at all. The next day, she stared at someone with a big dark circle under her eyes, which made her look like she had just lost her husband.

Today is the day for Old Man Chen's funeral, and in-laws like Tian Fenglan and the others are here too. Because Tian Dabao is not at home, Ye Qian's brother-in-law came to represent him.

But it was just a few words in a hurry, because today is the busiest day for the funeral in the afternoon.

When Old Man Chen's coffin was lifted, Boss Chen and the others couldn't take it anymore, they couldn't help crying, even the people who supported them couldn't get up.

Even a heartless person like Chen Zhonglan shed a few tears from the bottom of her heart, crying all the way.

Sister-in-law Chen and Second-sister-in-law Chen were the ones who had been with Old Man Chen the longest, and they cried heart-rendingly.

Among them, Chen Zhongwu and Ye Qian were better, but Chen Zhongwu's eyes were also red.

When the coffin was carried all the way to the crossing, a ceremony was held.

Relatives from all walks of life would come to see old man Chen off, Jing Cheng and the others knelt on both sides of the table as grandchildren to return the gift, while Chen Zhongwu and the others knelt behind the coffin.

At this moment, a man in military uniform hurriedly appeared at the intersection with a suitcase. When everyone saw him, they all made way for him.

Because the female relatives were behind, Jing Hong went to see Ye Qian first, and Ye Qian didn't care about crying for the funeral, so she got up and went to find clothes for Jing Hong.

Fortunately, the aunt who came with her had experience. When she saw Jing Hong coming back, she hurried back to get the filial piety clothes and changed them for him.

Zhao Jiyun, the fifth son of Tian Fenglan's family, was also sent by Zhao Baozhu to help, and helped send the luggage back.

Because the timing of Jing Hong's return was very tight, the housekeeper first asked him to kowtow to old man Chen's coffin before letting him kneel inside the grandchildren to return the salute.

Jing Cheng and Jing Hong knelt together, looked at the serious Jing Hong, and asked in surprise: "You are in such a hurry, why do you dare to come back?"

Jing Hong looked at the front, and replied without taking his eyes off: "I rushed back after I finished my work, no matter what, it is also a lifetime relationship."

"What about you? Why are you free to come back?"

Jing Cheng: "I'm free."

Of course, Jing Hong's sudden appearance also brought a lot of trouble to the villagers.

After all, Chen Zhongwu was also a man of the day in the village, and the children were all so powerful, so they became the center of the topic in an instant.

When Jing Hong came back, old man Chen's grandchildren were all here, which was considered complete for old man Chen.

But what was unexpected, when old man Chen was about to be carried to burial, Mrs. Chen rushed over suddenly, hugged old man Chen's coffin and did not let go, crying so heartbroken.

Several old women rushed forward to pull them away. When old man Chen came back from the burial, Mr. Chen and the others were pulled back with their arms crossed. It seemed that they were really hurt.

Ye Qian also looked at Chen Zhongwu worriedly, because although he came back standing up, his expression was rather ugly.

Chen Zhongwu seemed to have noticed Ye Qian's gaze, turned his head to look at her, and gave her a comforting look, indicating that he was fine.

After old man Chen's funeral, they didn't stay at the vigil, and they ate their meal on the street.

The table for business has been rented out all year round, and it has already been stained with a strong smell of vegetable soup.

Because they have a large family, they sat at the table with Chen Zhongwen's family, which was less crowded. Of course, Chen Zhongwen was not at this table, only his wife, her mother-in-law and their children were there.

Ye Qian and Jing Li were sitting on a long chair, and they were carefully wiping with toilet paper.

After seeing it, Chen Zhongwen's mother-in-law said with a smile: "This table is not dirty, so I don't need to wipe it. I just saw that they put a new film on it."

After hearing this, Ye Qian replied with a smile: "Yes, but I have a hole here, and some oil seeps out." She pointed it out as she spoke.

Chen Zhongwen's mother-in-law replied curiously after reading: "It's true, but it was fine when it was laid just now, maybe it was picked up by that child."

Ye Qian: "Maybe."

While talking, I saw Chen Zhongwen's mother-in-law soaked the chopsticks in white water and put Ye Qian into the child's mouth. Ye Qian hurriedly stopped her and said, "Auntie, many people have used these bowls and chopsticks. Although they have been cleaned, it is better to burn them before using them."

After hearing this, Chen Zhongwen's mother-in-law looked at her suspiciously, "Do you still have to iron it?"

Chen Zhongwen's daughter-in-law on the side hurriedly answered the conversation: "Mother, the third sister-in-law is educated, let us iron it and we will iron it." Then she went to get water and began to iron the dishes.

Chen Zhongwen's mother-in-law didn't say anything after reading it, and put the chopsticks back silently.
