Chapter 220 Funeral The
bride's escort arrived. Hu Bifang had no time to talk to Meng Shulan. She quickly ate something, went through the subsequent etiquette, and then followed the man's side.
Meng Shulan did not attend the wedding, and Hu Bifang did not have many friends at school, so she only invited Meng Shulan. She had no companion, so she went home after dinner.
In the afternoon, He Jinqiu and his group returned from Zhou's house after the wedding banquet.
When talking about today's wedding, everyone felt good.
The Hu family was poor, and the dowry was a little less, which seemed a bit underwhelming, but the Zhou family still took it very seriously. They made a new bed and a new cabinet, and also bought a watch and a radio. I heard that the bride price was 300 yuan.
Wow, I’ve already given you three hundred dollars and also prepared two big items.
This is incredible. The Zhou family is sincere and no one can compare to them. Even when Hu Bifang passed the exam later, people around them had nothing to say.
The Zhou family married a daughter-in-law of the same standard as city dwellers.
You have to know that in the past few years, people were hungry and cold, and some people only gave a few dozen yuan as a dowry, just two cups and a washbasin. It's nothing compared to now.
Meng Shulan listened to her mother and was also happy for Hu Bifang.
Meng Shulan didn’t know how Hu Bifang’s wedding went in her previous life, but in this life, the Zhou family showed enough sincerity.
As for Zhou Yan, the couple had a very good relationship in their previous life, and they will only be happier in this life.
At night, since the family had just had lunch at noon, there was no need to make things so complicated. A bowl of egg noodles per person was enough to fill their stomachs.
Meng Changli did not return from the city today, and the relatives who were taking care of the two children also went back to the village for the holiday. Meng Shulan slept with the two children.
The weather was hot and she was a little sleepless, so she first fanned the two children to sleep, then sat at the table and read a book for a while before she opened the curtain and lay down.
There are many mountains and forests in the villages and towns. The sun is scorching during the day, but it gradually becomes cooler at night.
This feeling is more comfortable than the time I was in the city before.
Meng Shulan fell asleep quickly.
But I don’t know if it was because I attended a wedding banquet today and witnessed other people’s happiness, I felt a little excited and had this dream after I fell into a deep sleep.
This dream is the opposite of the happy events during the day.
She dreamed of a funeral, her own funeral.
Under the continuous drizzle, her coffin had been lowered into the pit on a hillside covered with cypress trees and weeds.
All around, the funeral procession in black suits stood silently.
The crying of several people in the Meng family was deafening. Meng Changli knelt on the ground and couldn't be pulled up. Meng Chenggong was also crying, and his voice sounded like a cow.
Gu Hansong was also there, looking haggard and thin, with a numb and gloomy expression, and he was filling the grave with soil one shovel at a time.
It turns out that I was not cremated in my previous life, and my soul returned to my hometown.
Meng Shulan knew she was dreaming, and she was scared, but also a little relieved.
However, the scene quickly changed, and a figure with a bloody face and a bursting head appeared in her dream again.
The man was wearing prison clothes and lying under the iron fence in the playground, with a bloody brick next to him.
His death was very ugly. His eyes were wide open and his ferocious expression showed despair and fear, as well as understanding and unwillingness.
Meng Shulan recognized this person, it was Han Ning!
Was he caught?
Imprisoned? And dead! Meng Shulan was about to laugh, but who knew that the corpse in the dream opened its mouth and called out her name.
"Meng, Shu, Lan..."
"ah!!!"
Meng Shulan was startled and sat up directly from the bed.
It was already bright outside the window. It was a familiar room with gray curtains. Her two nieces were still sleeping soundly on the other side of her bed.
Meng Shulan wiped the sweat from her forehead, lifted the curtain and slowly got out of bed.
Although it was a dream, it was so scary that her pounding heart hasn't slowed down yet.
Meng Shulan sat on a chair, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, recalling the scenes in her dream.
If Han Ning, that scumbag, hadn't come back to life in the end, Meng Shulan wouldn't have thought of it as a dream, but an extension of her own death in her previous life.
It's so real, this is probably how everything happened after her death.
She had said before her death that she wanted to return to her hometown after her death, so it was reasonable for the murderer Han Ning to be arrested.
How come he died in prison? This scene is a bit awkward.
Of course, it is also possible, for example, he offended someone in there, or someone wanted to kill him.
Meng Shulan thought of Gu Hansong.
Will he use some means to avenge himself? It is possible.
I just don't know if it will implicate him.
Meng Shulan sighed, put down the fan and went out.
In the yard, He Jinqiu also got up and was picking vegetables and preparing breakfast.
Today is the day when the school releases the results, and Meng Shulan goes there after breakfast.
As the mother and daughter were talking, Montfort drove over in a donkey cart.
Yesterday, Meng Fude also went to Zhou's house to attend the wedding, but he did not stay here at night. He went back to the village because he could not leave his pigs, chickens and ducks at home.
After seven o'clock in the morning, the family went out together after breakfast and followed Meng Shulan to school.
Although it was still early, I still met many people who came to see the scores along the way.
There are students and parents involved. After all, it is a big deal and everyone wants to know the result as soon as possible.
Since it was summer vacation, there was no one in the school and the school gate was wide open, allowing parents to enter freely.
When the Meng family arrived, there were already quite a few people standing inside, including those from the town and nearby villages, as well as from the next town and further away.
I heard from those people that they couldn't sleep, so they came here before dawn.
Meng Shulan also met her classmates from the repeat class. Zou Shaojun from the next town came, and Tian Feiyan and Zheng Min were also there.
When they saw Meng Shulan, several people who were on good terms with her came over to talk to her.
I can’t say for others, but Meng Shulan will definitely pass.
Meng Shulan is confident, but the results haven't come out yet, so she can't make any promises.
As they were chatting, the principal and several teachers from the graduating class came out.
It was early and they had just finished their meal, but so many classmates couldn't wait and they didn't want to waste everyone's time.
The principal said to everyone, "Students, Teacher Liu only brought back the results last night. It's too late to write the big-character posters now. But it doesn't matter. We can start now. Teacher Liu will read while Teacher Zhang will write. You can also listen to your own results.
Before that, there is one thing I have to say.
This is a great event, the greatest event in the history of our school."
As the principal spoke, he looked at Meng Shulan in the crowd.
"Student Meng Shulan, please come over and stand with me."
As soon as the three words "Meng Shulan" came out, all the students looked over curiously.
Meng Shulan was also a little confused, but still went to the front obediently.
The principal nodded to her with great satisfaction, and when Meng Shulan stood next to him, he puffed out his chest with pride, "Students, applaud with me. Congratulations to Meng Shulan for being admitted to her dream foreign language university with scores far exceeding the passing line, and for getting the first place in our county in the college entrance examination."
