Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 91 The Funeral
A few days later, the news of the return of the second master of the Qiao family suddenly came from outside.

Before the Mo family could confirm, the Qiao family had already started the funeral with great fanfare.

It is not an exaggeration to say that.Usually, even if people are burying their elders, only their own nephews will come. After all, this kind of thing is relatively unlucky in anyone's eyes.

Therefore, unless it is a big family with a lot of children, the general funeral will not be very lively.

But the Qiao family overturned everyone's concept this time.

That day was said to be a good day, and the master was specially asked to calculate the time.

The eldest master of the Qiao family was in the lead, and the young master of the Qiao family was on the side. The two of them represented the eldest house of the Qiao family.As for the second master of the Qiao family, he leaned back a little bit, and after that, he had some relatives with the Qiao family.

Although, when the old man of the Qiao family was young, his tribe didn't help him, but he was not the one who threw a stool into a well.After returning to his hometown, the old man of the Qiao family still pulled out several relatives.Of course, those few who formed personal enmity with others are not counted.

But despite this, the Qiao family still doesn't have many heirs.

Even counting the female relatives who were at the end of the queue, the funeral procession was only so short.

However, what happened afterwards surprised the people in the town, even the members of Qiao's family did not expect it.

At first, a few shopkeepers from Wanlong Commercial Company stood at the back of the funeral procession of Qiao's family. Once someone started something, the people behind would come continuously.The stewards of the firm, the guys on the counter, the handymen behind the scenes...

When there were hundreds of people in the funeral procession, the people standing on both sides of the road to watch the excitement became quiet.

I don't know who shouted: "Everyone, go and see the old man for a ride!"

Afterwards, as if they had rehearsed in advance, the people of Mingyue Town walked to the back of the funeral procession one by one until they sent the old man of the Qiao family to Kuding Mountain on the outskirts of Mingyue Town.

Kuding Mountain is at least ten miles away from Mingyue Town. Although people travel well these days, they can let them voluntarily put down the work at hand, and would rather come to the funeral if they suffer from such bad luck...

To a certain extent, the old man of the Qiao family has really deserved his life.

Fortunately, the old man of the Qiao family passed away at a very old age, which is not a great tragedy.

These days, people's life expectancy is generally not long, otherwise how can there be a saying that people live in their seventies?In fact, if you die at the age of more than 80 years old, it is a joyful mourning.If a centenarian appeared somewhere, that would be a real blessing.

"Look at what he is capable of. If I am gone, with this posture..."

"Bah bah, what are you talking about depressing! If you have the time, hurry up and carry the wheat to the mill!"

Mo Qianrui snickered, she didn't care much about the so-called taboos, but she was happy to see her father suffer.Speaking of which, it has been several days since she moved to Mingyue Town, but she is still not quite used to the life here.

Originally, Mo Qianrui felt that he had lived in the city since he was a child in his previous life, and even if he was not used to it, he should be in Yangliu Village.

But things are so weird, she has only stayed in Yangliu Village for more than a month and a half, but it seems that she really regards it as her home.Now, after moving to Mingyue Town, all sorts of things are going wrong.

First of all, the house is too small.

Although the house of the Mo family in Yangliu Village is quite old, it is a century-old project that is the focus of house building in this era.Even if it is a little damaged, as long as it is repaired a little, it will not hinder the living.

I am used to living in a big house in the country, but now Mo Qianrui feels aggrieved every morning when he opens the door.

Think about it, this half of the yard is not even as good as the small granary that the Mo family originally moved to the chickens!
In fact, the relationship between neighbors is too cold.

In the past in Yangliu Village, although Mo Qianrui was most familiar with the Li family on the opposite door, there were many relatives in the Li family. On weekdays, the aunts and sisters-in-law of the Li family were very familiar with her.Even if the neighbors are unfamiliar, at least they can be familiar with each other, and when they see each other on weekdays, they will smile and say hello.

But Mingyue Town is not like that at all.

Not to mention other things, the gate of this courtyard is tightly closed all the time, even in the daytime, it is tightly closed.Not to mention the other neighbors, even the owner's family, except for a few words when they came to build the stove that day, they didn't even see anyone afterwards.

These problems may not be a big deal, but it is really troublesome to use water and firewood on weekdays.

In the past in Yangliu Village, drinking water was usually drawn from the well at the head of the village, and water from the stream at the entrance of the village was used for washing and cleaning.

There is no shortage of water here, and the whole village is full of money, and there are at least a dozen wells of various kinds.

Usually, if you dig a dozen or so meters deep into the ground, water will come out of the well, so Mo Qianrui has developed the idea that drinking water doesn't cost money.The same is true for firewood. In rural areas, dry wheat straw or straw is usually used to light the fire, and dead branches and leaves are usually used to light the fire.They are all taken from their own fields or the back mountains, and it doesn't cost money or even much effort.

But all of this is not the case in Mingyue Town.

There is indeed a well at the end of the alley where they live, but they have to charge money.The money collected is not much, and it is calculated on the number of times.Only one penny at a time.

People don't care whether you use a small bucket or a big bucket that is one person tall, even if you pick up a shoulder pole and take two big buckets, they won't be bothered.Anyway, it's just one penny for each call. If you don't have much strength, you can pay two pennies and they will help you deliver the water to your home.

As for firewood, there are people pushing a wheelbarrow to sell firewood at the entrance of the alley every day.A bundle costs a penny, and if the whole car is rounded, it costs only ten pennies, which is about fifteen or six bundles of firewood.

Mo Qianrui doesn't care about such a small amount of money. Now that she practices stalls every day, her net profit is at least five or six hundred yuan.In addition, she stuffed some copper coins into it from time to time, and the family was definitely not short of such a small amount of money.

The problem is, Auntie is distressed.

For Mo Qianrui, at any rate, she experienced a time in her previous life when she had to pay for everything.As for A Niang, she couldn't imagine that she would have to pay for water and firewood?

Why don't you go and rob!
A Niang was very depressed, and even the family members were a little timid.Mo Qianrui was fine, after all, her experience was there, and she knew that A Niang just cared about money, not really unhappy.

Er Ya couldn't do it anymore, she was young and had a lot of fun in the town, but she was scolded several times because of this, which made her look listless now.

Sometimes Mo Qianrui couldn't see it, so he led Erya out during the day to avoid the limelight.

Fortunately, Er Ya is very easy to coax, just a few jelly beans or a meat bun can make her squint with joy.

From Mo Qianrui's point of view, this kid is silly and quite funny.

No, because just now my daddy said something wrong, which caused my mother to complain again, Erya shrank into a ball, fearing that she would be dragged into trouble.Mo Qianrui reluctantly pulled her to go outside. Anyway, Auntie was just complaining. In Mo Qianrui's words, some people are thunderous and rainy, but Auntie is just thunderous and rainy... There is no such thing at all. !

As usual, I went to Sanchuan Road. Compared with other surrounding towns, the business of Mingyue Town is indeed much more developed, but the shortcomings are also obvious.

That is, apart from this Sanchuan Road, there are no good shops in the whole Mingyue Town.

Of course, like some cloth dyeing workshops, mills, oil workshops, wine workshops, etc., shops that need a large area are definitely not on Sanchuan Road.This kind of shop usually produces things in remote places, and then sends them to Sanchuan Road with donkey carts.

Basically, it is equivalent to those factories in Mo Qianrui's previous life that were not open to the public.It's just that they don't want to open to the outside world, but because they can't sell anything in the corner.

As for the entire Mingyue Township, the only places that are not affected by Sanchuan Road are the carriage and horse shops, herbal tea stalls, and Caishikou.

Mo Qianrui bought Erya a delicious meat bun in Erya, seeing Erya coming over like a puppy and laughing, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Erya, there's nothing to do right now, let me take you to play with Lingniang?"

The uncle of the Li family told Dad about his address back then, and when Aunt Hua came over last time, he also mentioned a few words.Their home is not far away, just in front of the First River, although Mo Qianrui is not very familiar with the town, but he is very familiar with the Sanchuan Road that comes every day.

However, what Mo Qianrui didn't know was that on this day, Liniang came home.

The old man of the Qiao family has been laid to rest. Although the mourning hall of the Qiao family will not be removed until after July [-]th, the members of the Qiao family will not stay out of the gate as usual.

If this matter is spread to others, they may still be concerned about wearing filial piety on their body, and there will be taboos when returning to their natal family, but Liniang doesn't care at all.

Liniang didn't feel that she had filial piety at all, and she didn't treat herself as Qiao's family at all.

Even if you want to keep your filial piety, it should be Meiniang's business.

In particular, Liniang met Uncle Li's family!
At the time of the funeral today, Liniang, as the nominal eldest mistress of the Qiao family, followed the funeral procession of the Qiao family.After that, the big shopkeepers of Wanlong Commercial Bank stood up first, that is, they followed closely behind Liniang and the female relatives.

Uncle Li's family is one of those big shopkeepers.

Originally, if Liniang wanted to return home, she must have returned to Yangliu Village.After all, Mingyue Town is some distance away from Yangliu Village, with Liniang's ability, she may not be able to find the place.Therefore, she could only stay at Qiao's house honestly.

But Uncle Li's house in Mingyue Town is not far from Qiao's house. Even if Liniang can't find the way, she can always find it by asking passers-by.

Therefore, not long after the funeral procession of Qiao's family returned, Liniang sneaked back home in high spirits....
