pastoral fragrance

Chapter 321
Qiuhe and Qiulin waited for the young man who had just burned paper money to get up, and knelt on it to burn paper money for grandma.The choking smoke curled up, making Qiulin choke in his throat.Qiulin raised his eyes and looked at the thick and heavy coffin, thinking of his grandmother's love and pity for him in the past, the tears rolled down like they couldn't be stopped.

After burning the paper money, he kowtowed three more times, and burned a piece of incense and put it in a square box beside him.Only then did the two stand up, kneel aside, and make room for others to kowtow and burn incense.

Han Shi was still lying on the coffin and weeping bitterly. She cried loudly and whispered, and her voice became hoarse in the end.Seeing her like this, everyone felt even more sad.Ye stood up to dissuade, "Big sister, don't be like this, mother has already gone, even if you cry and pass out, it won't help. You are not in good health, put away your tears!" While persuading herself, Mrs. Ye wiped away her tears, tiredness was written on her sad and bleak face.She is the daughter-in-law of Han's parents, and she ran away with Han Dong in the family's funeral, and she was so tired that she fell on her back.

Mrs. Han misses Mrs. Yang, how can she listen to Mrs. Ye's persuasion now?She continued to lie on the coffin as if she didn't hear it, crying in front of her head.Crying until all the viscera felt heart-piercing pain, only then did the wailing turn into weeping as if exhausting all the strength in his body!
During his lifetime, Mrs. Yang was not disliked by others and was friendly to others. Now that her family has flourished, there are many people attending the funeral.The not-so-small courtyard was crowded with people in darkness, and it was quite spectacular to look out from the front of the mourning hall.The sound of firecrackers may be mixed with the sound of gongs and drums, which means that there is another funeral.

Near noon, Qiulin helped Mrs. Han, who cried so sadly but had no more tears, into the wing room to rest.Han shi was heartbroken, no matter where she could sleep, when she opened her eyes and closed her eyes, her mind was full of Yang shi's voice and smile.Seeing Han's heartbroken look, Qiulin's heart felt like a needle was being pricked.

At this moment, she couldn't find any words of comfort to comfort her mother, because in front of the Han family who lost her mother, any words would seem weak.Only time is the good medicine to heal people's inner wounds, and the pain in my mother's heart can only be slowly resolved by time.Qiulin was accompanying Han Shi right now, holding her hand tightly with his right hand, hoping to give her some strength.

The coffin was left in the main room for three full days, and in the early morning of the fourth day, the sound of gongs and drums that faded away in the middle of the night sounded again.At this time, someone came over and called Qiulin and the others to get up.In fact, although everyone was exhausted from the tossing and tossing of the past few days, but for some reason, people leaned on the pillows and didn't feel much sleepiness.At this moment, when someone yelled, he immediately woke up.

At this moment, all the people gathered in front of the mourning hall in sackcloth and filial piety, but they saw people beating gongs and drums sitting on both sides of the coffin, but there was no movement.Another middle-aged man in a gray robe stood in front of the coffin, and when he saw everyone gathered, he began to sing.His voice was crying, not high-pitched, murmuring, and Qiulin couldn't hear it clearly from behind.The only thing I heard clearly was the word "kneel"!
Then all the people in sackcloth and filial piety knelt down.With this kneeling, the mourning hall, which was half occupied by coffins, looked extremely narrow.A small number of people couldn't find their place, and they had already stood out of the main room and knelt down in the yard.Only hearing the gray-clothed man rambling on and on, did everyone "get up".Standing up, it didn't take long before the man in gray said to kneel again, so everyone knelt down again, after repeating this for about seven or eight times.This red tape is finally over.

The day my grandma went up the mountain, the weather was fine.Four people walked up the mountain carrying the coffin two in front and two behind, followed by a large group of filial sons and grandsons in linen and mourning clothes.The beating of gongs and drums followed at the end, as well as those who set off firecrackers and scattered paper money. The scene was quite spectacular.After grandma went up the mountain, the closest relatives burst into tears again. They sat in front of the grave, crying until their faces turned pale, and the sound of crying was loud.

Qiulin and the others stayed at the uncle's house until Yang's first seven years, and then returned home.For these few days, no one had a good rest, especially the Han family, who lost a lot of weight.When getting back into the bullock cart, everyone felt a sense of relief.

When they returned to Luoshui Village, everyone felt as if they had passed away. When they returned to their own yard, everyone put aside everything else and just wanted to wash their faces and then go back to their rooms and have a good sleep.

Qiulin is also very tired these days. She feels that she has never been so tired even when the farming season is busy.So when I came back and washed my face, when I fell down and closed my eyes, the drowsiness hit me like a mountain.Strange to say, at my uncle's house, I couldn't fall asleep even after tossing and turning, but I fell asleep when I came back.And this sleep, I slept until sunset and dusk.

After a good night's sleep, Qiulin felt much more refreshed.She got up and heard the laughter of children outside the house. Qiulin thought it was funny and couldn't help going over to tease her.This baby belongs to the elder sister Qiuyue, who is only seven or eight months old this year, can only crawl on the ground but cannot walk, and can only speak simple personal pronouns.But he was born with red lips and white teeth, and he smiles when he meets people, which makes people like him.The eldest sister Qiuyue also went to attend the funeral for her grandma.The father and mother were reluctant to part with their daughter and granddaughter, so they asked them to come back together, and let the eldest sister go home in a few days.

Qiu Lin came out from the wing, and saw Zhang Yan smiling happily in that room, she was very pleasing.My heart can't help but reincarnation is the law of nature. Although my grandma is dead now, my uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts are the continuation of my grandma's life.Life is passed down from generation to generation.Although grandma has gone, her voice and smile will always live in the hearts of everyone.

Looking at Zhang Yan, who was only seven or eight months old, Qiulin seemed to see the continuation and dawn of life.At this moment, the haze in my heart dispelled.With a smile on the corner of Qiulin's mouth, he walked towards Zhang Yan in three steps at a time, picked her up from the elder sister's hand with a smile, and lovingly scraped her slender nose with his hands. The touch was delicate and tender, and Qiulin's heart softened It's a mess. "Xiao Yan'er, call my aunt to listen?"

Zhang Yan grinned, her teeth haven't grown yet, but her appearance is very attractive. "Auntie." The little baby called out childishly.

Qiuyue laughed from the side: "We Yan'er don't know how to call you aunt now? If you want to hear Yan'er call you aunt, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."

Qiulin was a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. Yan'er is still young now?Qiulin hugged Yan'er and teased for a while, Zhang Yan is a baby who loves to laugh, whenever Qiulin teased her, she would smile, and the sound of milking and laughing rang in her ears, which made people feel heartbroken comfortable!

Qiulin felt that it was right to let Qiuyue stay, and Yan'er laughed whenever she was teased, adding a touch of vitality to the somewhat dull courtyard.Looking at Yan'er, parents feel relieved to some extent.Maybe I can get out of the grief of my grandma's death.

At this moment Xiaohong walked towards her, put her mouth to Qiulin's ear and whispered: "Miss Si, Doctor Xia has been waiting for you by the river for a long time!" After finishing speaking, Xiaohong sighed in her heart, Youdao is a long way to go. Originally, Fourth Miss and Doctor Xia were getting married, but unexpectedly, something like this happened halfway.It's really frustrating.But isn't this something that can't be helped? Death is the big deal!

At this time, the smile on Qiulin's face gradually faded, and there was more confusion and helplessness in his heart.She returned Zhang Yan to Qiuyue, and smiled wryly: "What is supposed to come will always come!" During the days when she was attending the funeral for her grandma, Qiulin hadn't thought about her marriage to Xia Yan.There is a saying that planting flowers intentionally will not bloom, but planting willows and willows will make shade unintentionally.At the beginning, she wanted to marry Xia Yan in two years, but she was finally persuaded by her mother and agreed to marry.But once this incident happened, this marriage had to be shelved first.There is no way, the dead are the most important. In ancient times, filial piety was the first thing to do. As a granddaughter, she naturally kept filial piety for her grandma.Because there has been a generation gap, the filial piety period is one year.

Qiulin left the yard alone, and rushed to the river with a lot of worries.Now, seeing that handsome man standing beside the river, who is it not Xia Yan?Qiu Lin sniffed, cheered himself up, and walked up to Xia Yan.He called out in a low voice, "Brother Xia Yan." Qiu Lin's tone was coquettish, as if he was coquettish with someone, probably Qiu Lin himself didn't realize this.

Since the last time the two met, Xia Yan and Qiu Lin hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.The last time the two discussed their marriage with you and me, but in a blink of an eye this marriage turned into a bubble, both of them seemed to have knocked over the bottle of all kinds of flavors, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings.

Especially Qiu Lin, she felt that she was extremely sorry for Xia Yan.If it wasn't for her being coy and unable to turn her head around, she wouldn't have extended the marriage for another year.Qiu Lin pursed her lips and apologized to Xia Yan: "Brother Xia Yan, I'm sorry!"

Xia Yan looked at the beautiful and picturesque woman in front of him with his long and narrow eyes tenderly, and felt that seeing her, the haze in his heart disappeared immediately.Qiulin has such magical powers for him.Xia Yan's voice was slightly low and hoarse, "What are you sorry for?"

Qiu Lin paused when he heard the words, and thought carefully about Xia Yan's words, yes, I don't want to regret my relatives, so what are you sorry for him?Youdao is a natural and man-made disaster, and this is also an unpredictable thing?
Xia Yan's voice was as calm as water, and he said slowly: "A Lin, you didn't do anything wrong to me. We can't predict these things. In fact, I think it's not bad to postpone the wedding for a year, so that you can recognize me more clearly. , see clearly whether I am worthy of your entrustment for life. Alin, I am willing to wait until you understand me thoroughly and belong to me!" Xia Yan has been waiting for so many years, from the time Qiulin was six years old until At the age of 15, he has been waiting for so many years, and now he can continue to wait!
