Chapter 126 Funeral Rituals (5)
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xi'er nodded, and then remembered that the neighbors who came to help must be in charge.He hurriedly asked again: "Uncle, how many neighbors should I invite to help? How much do I prepare for this breakfast? I just made a pot with all the pot. There is still noon, how much?" Zhao Xi'er thought , She doesn't know anything else, and she can't do it.But this meal can not be neglected.In this village, if you ask someone to help you, you won't even be able to eat enough, but you will be talked about.

"That's enough, you can make that pot. Not many people come over in the morning. Your aunts may come over after breakfast later. Just us... and my father and I are here to eat. Hmm... …Leave a bowl for me, and let Xing’er bring it back to her mother later. I’m going to make more at noon. The two children, and your uncles, aunts, uncle, third master, and fifth master will all come over." Zhou Youjin also made detailed plans for Zhao Xi'er one by one.

"Well, okay, I understand. Just make two pots of rice at noon, and another pot of hot soup. It should be enough to make some dishes." Zhao Xier thought about it in her mind, and even if it was not enough, she could roll out some noodles earlier Then, it's really not enough, she can also make another pot of noodles.

"By the way, how much silver do these need?" Zhao Xi'er thought that she hadn't given Zhou Youjin any silver, so she might go to the town to buy it, and Zhou Youjin paid in advance.

"Not much. Let's take it easy after this matter is over." Zhou Youjin waved his hand. It was his father who misjudged Yu Ni by Shen Tan.It is also right to atone for his father's sin and bury Yuni now.

"Third Grandma?" Zhou Youjin felt that the business was almost done, but he didn't see Third Grandma come out, so he asked worriedly.

"Grandmother is in the room, she didn't fall asleep all night, she is sitting and resting now." After saying that, Zhao Xi'er remembered, her granny's hair seemed to be the same as it was last night, but her clothes were changed. Set of white gowns.Did she not sleep last night, sitting there in the middle of the night?
"That's fine, I'll go in and have a look. Girl Xi, you should be busy." After Zhou Youjin finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the third old lady's room with big strides.

Zhao Xi'er turned back and went into the kitchen, chatted with Zhang Xing'er casually, learned about the ritual customs in the village, and breakfast was ready.

Zhao Xi'er brought a portion to the third old lady's room, and was worried that the third old lady would not eat it, but the third old lady and Zhou Youjin were sitting and chatting about Zhou Yuni's affairs, and saw Zhao'er bring breakfast in.He also confessed: "Girl, bring in your uncle's too, and let your uncle accompany the old lady."

"Okay, I'll go now." Zhao Xi'er finally let go of her heart, turned around and left the room, quickened her pace and ran to the kitchen, brought another bowl of rice to the third old lady's room, Turned around and went to the hall again.

Zhao Xi'er walked into the main room and saw Nan Cha who was still leaning against the wall and hugging Zhou Yuni. It was only a night, but Nan Cha seemed to be much older.Zhao Xi'er's heart throbbed violently. If she was gone, would Qian Jue hold her like this, heartbroken and haggard?

"Uncle Nan, let's have some breakfast." Zhao Xi'er walked up to Nan Cha, and called Nan Cha who looked down at the woman in her arms as if she was stupid.

After a long time, Zhao Xi'er was about to call him again.

"I'm not hungry, you go and eat." He didn't want to be separated from Yu'er, even for a while.

"Put Aunt Yuni down, she won't feel comfortable holding her like this." Zhao Xi'er thought, maintaining the same posture, sitting like this all night, even if he knows kung fu, he must be very tired.

"Yu'er isn't feeling well? Okay, I'll put her away." This time, Nan Cha obediently put Zhou Yuni in his arms on the mat on the ground, and let her lie down.

"Uncle Zhou bought some white curtains, can you help replace those ribbons over the yard?" Zhao Xi'er thought to wait a while, it would be so troublesome for the helper to move the ladder, so it would be better to let this Nansha go.He knows kung fu, those don't take much time at all.

"Okay." This time Nan Cha didn't stay still, he answered Zhao Xi'er's words quickly, then got up and walked out of the room with big strides.

Zhao Xi'er watched Nan Cha striding out, and walked out of the room herself.I shook my head secretly in my heart, this body is so good and skillful, but it's different. I sat in such a position all night, how should I walk after getting up?
Zhao Xi'er went back to the kitchen and served a meal with Zhang Xing'er.Since both of them had no taste, they both stood in front of the cutting board and took a few casual bites for breakfast.

After the meal, Zhao Xi'er cleaned up the dishes and asked Zhang Xing'er to bring back a meal for Li Shi to use.

When Zhao Xi'er finished cleaning up the kitchen and walked out of the yard, she was a little surprised to see the white cloth fluttering in the sky above the yard.The couplets at the entrance of the main room were also replaced with white cloth elegiac couplets.The whole yard is white.

"Hurry up. Xi'er, brother Qing and sister-in-law Qing are back." Zhang Xing'er had just stepped into the yard when she saw Zhao Xi'er standing in the yard and hurriedly shouted.

"Are you back? Okay... where are you?" Zhao Xi'er was stunned before remembering that Zhou Youjin said just now that he was going to help her buy a coffin, paper money, and other needs.He quickly stepped up and walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing Xi'er approaching, Zhang Xing'er turned around and walked out, "Third Brother Qing and the others moved really fast. Before dawn, they handed over the child to the child's grandma, and the couple entered the city."

As soon as the two of them walked out of the yard and turned the intersection, they saw an ox cart in front of them. On the rectangular wooden frame of the long cart, there was a dark coffin, and in front of the coffin were several cloth bags stacked together.

The bullock cart quickly turned a corner and came in front of the two of them, and Mrs. Qing jumped off the bullock cart.Seeing Zhao Xi'er and Zhang Xing'er standing at the intersection: "I kept you waiting for a long time, I was delayed in the town for a while."

"No, it's still early. Brother and sister-in-law have worked hard to celebrate." When Zhao Xi'er saw the coffin, she immediately thought of Zhou Yuni lying on the floor of the main room, and her face couldn't bear any other expressions besides sadness.

"What kind words are you talking about? Come on, let's go in quickly. Let's see what else needs to be packed." The Qing family patted Zhao Xi'er's hand, and then led her towards the ancestral hall.

Zhao Xi'er walked with the Qing family, lowered her eyes and glanced at her rough hand, in fact... there are more good people.

Zhou Daqing drove the ox cart to the gate of the ancestral hall, and first carried the several large and small cloth bags into the yard and placed them at the gate of the kitchen.

Zhao Xi'er and Qing's family, after Zhang Xing'er came in, hurriedly opened the bag containing vegetables and fish, began to wash and cut into pieces.

One after another, the uncle of the Zhou family, the third master, and the fifth master also came.
