The wedding ceremony of Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian was carried out hastily in the main room of Zhang's small courtyard.
On the chair in the middle of the main room, grandma leaned there with a flushed face, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei supported her arms vigorously on both sides, when Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian kowtowed to her, grandma had a very bright smile on her face, It's just that the blush on her face was fading visible to the naked eye, and the villagers who were in charge of etiquette shouted: "Licheng, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber." The blush faded away, and grandma closed her eyes peacefully, with a smile on her face .
Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai felt their hands sink, and Guo Sufei immediately called out sadly: "Mother." This is the second time today that the voice of mother is heard in the main room, and it is also the last time.
At this time, Liu Qian didn't care about the rules anymore, she tore off the red hijab by herself, and carried her grandmother's body back to the hut with Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai.
In the courtyard, everyone in the main room looked at each other, wondering whether the Zhang family should have a wedding or a funeral today? Only acquaintances who knew the situation secretly wiped away tears.
With the support of Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaolong walked into the hut. On the bed in the hut, grandma lay there as if she was sleeping peacefully, without the interference of illness, without the cough that she forced herself to suppress for fear of disturbing her grandson's sleep, she slept peacefully, with a smile on her face, Zhang Xiaohua looked at her grandma already The face engraved in his heart didn't seem to feel sadness, but his heart was very empty, very empty, his mother's mournful cry came to his ears, he was very puzzled, he should be very sad, but, why, no? Is grandma really resting?
No, definitely not, on her grandma, Zhang Xiaohua could no longer feel the passing life that she could feel a few days ago, her grandma had really gone, indeed left her.
Zhang Xiaohua silently looked at the crying mother, father and brothers beside him, there were no tears in the corners of his eyes, not even the rims of his eyes were red.
The mournful cries of relatives in the grandmother's hut rang out for a long time, and most of the people in the courtyard dispersed. After Zhang Cai came out to look at the villagers in the courtyard, he could only bow his hands in apologetic way. All the festive things were put away, and they were replaced with black and white things for funerals. After finishing packing, the group of wedding teams who "ran away with their lives" came back scatteredly. Seeing the funeral at home, they thought it was It was prepared for Zhang Xiaolong and others, and we will not know the reason until others explain it. The musical instrument team in this country is originally shared by funerals. Seeing such a situation, I feel sympathetic, so I hurried to get the funeral clothes and changed them on the spot. After eating something, drinking water, and immediately playing mourning music.
At this time, everyone in the Zhang family also put on mourning clothes. Zhang Xiaolong was seriously injured and had to be bedridden again. It's just that Liu Qian was poor. She had to change her wedding clothes and put on mourning clothes as soon as she passed the door. Washing and changing clothes is really difficult for her.
Zhang Cai looked at the busy daughter-in-law and felt guilty. Both of my parents died when I was young, and I didn't enjoy the family happiness. When I moved to Guozhuang, Guo Sufei's parents loved her like a parent and child. Little by little, his tears fell down again. Xiaolong was so lucky to marry Liu Qian, and hoped that when he left in the future, he would not cause trouble for them.
The coffin and clothes for grandma had been prepared a long time ago. Zhang Cai, Zhang Xiaohu, Guo Sufei and Liu Qian put grandma's body in the coffin together, and found someone to carry the coffin to the main room. It wasn't big at all, and when the coffin was put in, there was almost no room left. According to the rules in the countryside, the funeral coffin must be kept at home for seven days for family members and relatives to pay homage to.
Funerals are no better than happy events. Many things are not taken care of by the family. Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei went to the head of the village and asked someone to come and help. The old Guo family is also an old man in Guozhuang, and there are many people who come to help. The funeral went smoothly. carried out.
It was night, and the voices of people in the yard gradually faded away, and the flickering lights in the main room pulled the shadow of the coffin, swaying non-stop in front of Zhang Xiaohua's eyes. Zhang Xiaohua and others knelt down in the small space next to the coffin. Guo Sufei kept sobbing and seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She is very good, although she didn't talk too much, but every time she saw her with a kind smile, it made her feel warm. Although she had been psychologically prepared, grandma was at her wedding ceremony. Passing away was too unexpected. Thinking about her short ceremony, Liu Qian never wanted to blame this empathetic elder. Maybe it was fate? Liu Qian could also read the apology in Zhang Cai's eyes, and deeply felt the warmth of this family, but this is the beginning of entering Zhang's house. Will the future be a blessing or a curse? Is this a warning?
In fact, look at Guo Sufei's grief, and think about grandma, live.?This life is worthwhile, with a full house of children and grandchildren, a harmonious family, except for some poverty, everything is perfect, I don¡¯t know what I will look like when I am old?
Just when Liu Qian was thinking wildly, Zhang Xiaohua's mind kept changing. Zhang Xiaohua knelt in the shadow of the corner of the wall, looking at the huge coffin in front of her, thinking: "Is this the destination of grandma's life?" Ever since everyone told them about the family affairs at night, Zhang Xiaohua has been thinking, If I knew martial arts, when the bandits came to kill me, I would drive them away, and my eldest brother and I would marry my sister-in-law back safely, maybe grandma would not have left so early, and she would happily look at her elder brother and sister-in-law. When my sister-in-law gets married, she may be able to happily hold the children of her elder brother and sister-in-law.
Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts are very chaotic, maybe, maybe, he thought a lot, and there is only one fulcrum for many assumptions, that is, he must know martial arts and have the ability to turn the tide, but does he have it?
So, Zhang Xiaohua finally made the first decision in his life, he wanted to practice martial arts.
However, how to practice martial arts?
He is still confused, but now that he has a goal, everything will be easy to handle.
Thinking of practicing martial arts, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of "Piaomiao". From Wen Wenhai, Xue Qing to Lu Yueming, everyone left a deep impression on him. The aura of grasping everything, the willingness to punish rape and eliminate evil, can only be The little stars that make Zhang Xiaohua's eyes full, and the influence of the Misty faction, a brand makes people dare not take it lightly, and they spend hundreds of taels of silver without daring to say anything. For a child who grew up in a mountain village like Zhang Xiaohua, It is an unimaginable temptation. Perhaps, a man should live like this, instead of sheltering under the wings of others and turning to a sign for help whenever a disaster strikes. Moreover, even if the leader of the bandit is removed, there is no guarantee that the bandit will not come to his door , what should we do then? Can a brand make people retreat? Thinking of the family's life being tied to a sign, Zhang Xiaohua felt infinite emotion in his heart, he thought about it, his eyes slowly closed following the swaying of the shadow, and he fell asleep, the breath-like flickering as promised came to his dream.
At this time, it was midnight.
After busying himself with outside affairs and seeing off the helpers, Zhang Cai dragged his tired body back to the main room. His wife was still crying and his voice was hoarse, so he went to comfort him, the old man Already gone, this day is still going on. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhang Xiaohua sleeping curled up in the corner, and he couldn't help but feel sore, what a good boy, he was so busy with the old man's affairs that he forgot about him.
Zhang Xiaolong was injured, he had already fallen asleep on the kang, his youngest son was also injured, the whip wound on his shoulder made people cry, he suffered such a serious injury at his age, he was not worse than Xiaolong , I just changed clothes and couldn¡¯t see him, so I forgot about him. Is it because I am careless or because there are too many things today? Zhang Cai was secretly annoyed, and carefully hugged Zhang Xiaohua, wanting to carry him back to the kang, but unfortunately tried, but failed to hug him, he couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart, the child has grown up, and he is also old, not the young one before When he said he could hug him, he greeted Zhang Xiaohu who was also kneeling in the shadows, and the two lifted Zhang Xiaohua up. When they were about to leave the house, Guo Sufei spoke, and she said while wiping her tears : "Let's put the little flower in Xiaolong's room tonight, in case the child wakes up at night, thinking of grandma will be frightened."
A mother¡¯s love is such a meticulous one. Although Guo Sufei was saddened by her mother¡¯s death, she was able to think about her son soon after seeing her son. Zhang Xiaohu interrupted and said, ¡°Mother, Xiaohua is asleep and won¡¯t even wake up when you water her. Do not worry."
Guo Sufei said: "That's not okay, he's still young, if he wakes up, he'll be scared, let him be with Xiaolong, I can watch."
Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohu put Zhang Xiaohua lightly next to Zhang Xiaolong who was already sleeping peacefully, Guo Sufei also washed her face, and carefully opened Zhang Xiaohua's clothes with an oil lamp, looking at the whip wound on his shoulder , the scar lay on Xiao Hua's body like a centipede, and looking at Xiao Hua's childish face, Guo Sufei couldn't help but burst into tears again. I just kept a vigil for my grandma, without even eating dinner. From morning to now, how much suffering and pressure he has endured, as a mother, I have left him behind, it is not him now He was really exhausted, maybe he should stay with him in the main room, or let him have a good rest.
Guo Sufei came out from the back room, and asked Zhang Xiaohu and Liu Qian to go back to rest respectively, and Zhang Cailai and herself stayed with grandma. Zhang Xiaohu and Liu Qian did not agree at first, but Guo Sufei insisted again and again, so they went back separately. Zhang Xiaohu naturally slept in the back room, so that he could take care of the two injured brothers at any time.
Liu Qian lay down on the kang and fell asleep. The experience of this day was too bizarre.
