Chapter 252 Worship
The little girl was really easy to coax, and a smile appeared on her face after a while.

Su Mo also took out the gaudy spinning top, but the little girl doesn't like playing with spinning tops very much, but she has a special liking for the whip, so she showed it to her two elder brothers and put it in the room, saying it was hers. little baby.

Gu Jinnian was not interested in playing with spinning tops, so the little girl took them away, and he took a look at them before going into the study to continue practicing calligraphy.

Gu Pingan scratched his head and scratched his cheeks anxiously, followed Gu Xingnian's side and chattered non-stop, asking Gu Xingnian to take out the small whip inside and outside the words.

There is no whip, and the top cannot be played.

The little girl ignored him, pouted her lips when she was bored, her eyes were misty, she didn't speak, and just stared pitifully at Gu Ping'an's eyes.

Gu Ping'an's heart softened when he saw it, he didn't even have time to coax the little girl, so he didn't have time to think about it.

Su Mo watched from the side, shaking his head helplessly, Gu Ping'an was completely eaten by Gu Xingnian.

During the Ching Ming Festival, the rain is not heavy, but it is endless after it falls, and the whole Luoshan Village is covered with a layer of mist, misty and rainy.

Work on the fields was also suspended. Firstly, it was raining, and secondly, the people were going to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

Su Mo didn't go to worship Gu Jingting and the others on Qingming Day, but waited for March 28, the day of their memorial day.

The joss sticks and paper money are all picked and bought, and the dishes used for worship are larger than before. Even the wine is a good wine ordered in advance at the wine shop.

Su Mo put everything in the basket, brought a sickle and hatchet, and then led the three children towards the graves of Gu Jingting and the others.

Gu Qinhan stayed at home and was busy with lunch.

It was the first time for the three children to follow Su Mo to worship on Gu Jingting's memorial day.

Gu Xingnian held Su Mo's hand and walked cautiously, fearing slipping and falling, Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian followed behind, looking at Gu Xingnian's back, lowered their heads, feeling a little depressed.

Before Su Mo got the imperial decree, he went to pay homage to Gu Jingting and the others. Looking at it now, there are not too many weeds.

Su Mo put down the basket, picked up the sickle and started to work. When the weeds were almost done, he took out the things in the basket one by one.

The three graves of the Gu family are connected together.

Gu Jingting's is in the middle, Ning Nanqing's is on the left side of Gu Jingting's grave, and Gu Dalang's is on the right. There is also an open space next to Gu Dalang's grave, which is reserved for himself by the original owner.

Su Mo led the three children to worship Gu Jingting first, then Ning Nanqing, and finally Gu Dalang.

When Gu Xingnian held the incense and followed Su Mo to pay respects, his eyes wandered around.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian closed their eyes tightly, and after the worship, they put the incense in front of the tombstone, as if they both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was drizzling again, and Su Mo was afraid that the children would get caught in the rain, so when the paper money was almost burned, she led the three children home.

Seeing that it was raining, Gu Qinhan cooked ginger soup. When Su Mo and his party returned, the ginger soup had just been cooked, and he hurriedly called the four of them into the kitchen.

He filled the ginger soup neatly, and then handed a bowl to Su Mo, "Hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger soup, so as not to catch a cold."

Su Mo reached out to take it, drank it in one gulp, and then wrinkled her face, "How much ginger did you put here?"

People who are spicy are numb.

Gu Qinhan scratched his head, "Not much."

He originally wanted to put in two more pieces of ginger.

Su Mo gave him a complicated look, and his eyes gradually fell on the three children who were holding bowls and dared not drink.

"Why are you standing still, drink it quickly."

She is having a hard time, and everyone should not think about it.

Gu Ping'an knew how bad the ginger soup was when he smelled it. He had a bitter face and pinched his nose before drinking the ginger soup.

Gu Jinnian also rarely showed embarrassment, but Su Mo even spoke up, and he frowned, and drank it too.

Not to mention Gu Xingnian, his small face was wrinkled like Su Mo's, and drinking ginger soup was like drinking poison.

The three children ran away without looking back after drinking the ginger soup, fearing that Su Mo would let them drink another bowl.

Gu Qinhan looked at the backs of the children fleeing, and then at Su Mo who opened the sugar bowl and put a spoonful of brown sugar into his mouth.

Gu Qinhan: "..."

Alright, next time he will put less ginger.

……

A few days ago, Mrs. Li inquired about the whereabouts of Manager Lin with Shopkeeper Qiu. Within a few days, Manager Lin had sent a letter saying that he would come to Haiyan County on the second day of April, but he would only stop at the pier for a quarter of an hour.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li took advantage of Qingming to go back to the village to worship her ancestors, and took time to visit Gu's house.

"I thought it's not good to give more or less of this wheat, so I put it in a [-]-jin bag, which is just a small bag, without piercing the eyes."

Sitting on the chair, Mrs. Li drank the water in the cup in one gulp after speaking. She had just finished offering sacrifices to her ancestors, and she was so busy that her mouth was parched.

Seeing this, Su Mo bought her another glass of water, "Okay, I have a bag here, sit down for a while, and I'll pack it up and bring it."

Mrs. Li nodded. After seeing Su Mo go out, she picked up the cup and drank the water, then poured the water herself. When Su Mo came in with a bag of wheat, she had already drank half of the pot of water.

Mrs. Li had to go back to Haiyan County in the evening, and the shop was still open tomorrow, so she didn't worry if she didn't keep an eye on it.

She took the wheat and immediately offered to leave.

Su Mo hurriedly stopped her, "I still have your hairpin with me last time, just sit and wait."

"A hairpin, you just take it and use it."

Mrs. Li waved her hand. Su Mo helped her so much, but she never gave Su Mo anything.

How could Su Mo agree, the silver hairpin was well crafted, and the inlaid beads were quite eye-catching, so it probably cost at least a few taels of silver.

"It's useless for me to keep this thing, after all, when did you see me dress up?"

After she said this, she turned around and went into the back room, took out the silver hairpin, and forcefully stuffed it into Mrs. Li's hand.

Mrs. Li refused to accept, "It's just that I haven't seen you dress up before, so I need to dress up a lot."

Su Mo glared at her, "I'm a widow, what are you doing dressing up for, take it back quickly, or I'll get angry."

Mrs. Li couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to accept it.

She felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Su Mo saying that she was a widow. After all, who wants to be a widow at a young age.

She put the hairpin into her bosom, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Gu's, don't be angry if I tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

Su Mo looked over suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, tell me."

"You are only in your 20s now, and there are still so many years to live in the future. The child will marry sooner or later, and will not be with you forever, so have you ever thought about finding another one?"

Su Mo's face froze slightly.

When Li saw it, she knew that she shouldn't have said this, she quickly said, "I'm just saying, you go in one ear and out the other, don't take it to heart."

Su Mo actually didn't think so, but she still had a forced smile on her face, which was extremely ugly.

"Sister-in-law... my Dalang was so kind to me back then, I...how could I..."

Looking at her bitter face, Mrs. Li felt so guilty in her heart that she wanted to slap herself twice.

How could she have forgotten that Gu Dalang held Su Mo in his hand for fear of losing it, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting.

When Gu Dalang's body was brought back, Su Mo would have almost followed if the villagers hadn't stopped him.

If she asked Su Mo if she had any plans to remarry, wouldn't that be poignant.
