Pei Qingshan was temporarily invited to act as the rites recorder. He brought a notebook in which he wrote down the gifts from people who drank.
When giving gifts, it is important to have a decimal point. You cannot give an integer. Generally, the amount given is 21 cents, 41 cents, or 61 cents.
There were also those who were very close to him, like Pei Qingshan, who directly gave one dollar and one cent.
No meat was allowed at the banquets on the first and second days of the funeral. There were six plates filled with lush green vegetables.
During the banquet, filial sons and grandchildren did not have to kneel. They all stayed at each table to thank the relatives who came to the banquet, thanking them for coming to mourn Li Dani.
The burning of the paper money basin cannot be stopped, and people take turns to do so so that someone can watch over the paper money basin.
It is a very unlucky thing to stop the fire. The purpose of keeping vigil at night is the same. The filial sons keeping vigil need to keep adding paper money into the paper money basin.
On the first night, Pei Qingsong, as the eldest brother, and his wife Li Jinhua were naturally on guard together, and the three children also followed suit.
From the beginning of the wake to the end of the night until the early morning, Ruan Niannian saw Pei Qingbai and his wife go out from time to time, and they would not come back for a long time.
This is something I don't even want to pretend to do.
She had thought that the couple would hate Li Dani, but she didn't expect them to hate her so thoroughly.
For example, if Li Dani were still alive, the four families would take turns to take care of her. Pei Qingbai and his wife would not only not be able to take care of her, but would probably abuse her.
Ruan Niannian expressed her understanding, but the others did not understand. Among them, the most dissatisfied was the second uncle who was the patriarch of the clan.
After twelve o'clock, everyone said hello to each other and left Pei Qingsong's family to keep watch. Second Uncle was waiting at the door. When he saw them come out, he said in a serious tone: "Qingbai, you and your wife come with me."
This is education.
Ruan Nianni suddenly didn't want to leave. Li Dani was gone, and she was in a good mood and wanted to gossip.
"Wife, do you want to hear it?" Pei Yuanzheng leaned against her back and whispered in her ear.
Ruan Niannian immediately knew that Pei Yuanzheng wanted to take her to eavesdrop, and nodded quickly, "Yes!"
This is not that simple.
Pei Yuanzheng pulled Ruan Niannian out of the yard and picked her up, "Shh! Don't make a sound, my wife. Your footsteps are too loud."
He held the person in his arms and walked easily to the wall closest to where the second uncle was giving a lecture.
The wall of the old house was not high, so Pei Yuanzheng had to crouch down to avoid being seen. Even when crouching down, he tried his best to put Ruan Niannian in the most comfortable space.
"...You, Qingbai, you are the most honest child!"
Ruan Niannian curled her lips. There was no such thing as an honest child. It was just that his father didn't love him and his mother didn't care about him. He was insignificant, so he didn't want to talk more and more.
If silence means honesty, then there are no bad people except dumb ones.
Pei Qingbai's voice followed, "Second Uncle, you know that I am a very filial person. I want to be good to my mother, but she really tramples on my filial piety. I can't convince myself to kneel down to her spirit properly."
Whenever his knees hurt, he would think of the torture Li Dani had inflicted on him, and that it was Li Dani who had caused him to become disabled like he is now. He hated her so much!
"Qingbai!" Second Uncle said sternly, "No matter what you think, Second Uncle is doing this for your own good. There will be more people coming tomorrow, so you can't do this again tomorrow, or the spit of the people in the clan will drown you."
Especially his younger brothers and cousins, who are used to taking advantage of their seniority.
The following words are nothing more than some repetitive advice.
Ruan Niannian suddenly lost interest and pulled Pei Yuanzheng's wife. Pei Yuanzheng lowered his head to listen to her, "Husband, let's go back."
"good."
Pei Yuanzheng picked up Ruan Niannian and walked away, with no intention of putting her down. When they were a little further away, he said, "Wife, the road is not easy to walk on at night. There are stones and sand everywhere. I'm afraid you'll fall again. The clothes you wore to the commune today are all dirty. Did you run too fast during the day?"
I didn't expect that he noticed it in just a short while and only said it now.
"No." Ruan Niannian denied and told the story of the day again, "I just felt uncomfortable being around him, so I ran away as much as possible."
Pei Yuanzheng agreed, "Wife, you are right. Let's just live our own lives from now on. Wife, when will you give me a baby?"
"What? Do you want to put someone between us?" Ruan Niannian looked strange.
"Think about it, when we want to be intimate in the future, as soon as you kiss me, the baby gets hungry and starts crying loudly. Should I take care of you or the baby?"
"Think about it again. After you finish feeding, you finally coax your baby to stop crying. Just when you want to continue, oops, he starts crying again. This time he has poop."
"Also, if we are being intimate while the baby is asleep and the baby starts crying in the middle of being intimate, will you go out or not?"
Pei Yuanzheng was used to big scenes. In previous anti-drug operations, he didn't even blink when a bullet grazed his head. But now, he was sweating profusely after hearing a few words from Ruan Niannian.
That's how the sense of oppression came about.
A few drops of cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he couldn't wipe it off. He could only say helplessly: "Wife, don't say it. Let's not have children in the next few years."
"Okay, husband, I respect your idea. I also want a child, but I always feel that the time is not right. Husband, let's wait until everything is stable, then we can have one, okay?"
It’s not that she doesn’t want to have a child. Ever since she confirmed her feelings, she has had the idea of having a child.
But she had experienced it in her previous life, and the most chaotic time was about to come, and then there would be a huge backlash.
At that time, Pei Yuanzheng's place was also closed for several months, and it reopened only after the storm passed.
If things were the same this year, maybe they could just stay home and have their baby.
When the storm is completely over and the child is about to be one year old, it will be a new starting point and a new chapter in their careers.
Ruan Niannian felt Pei Yuanzheng's hands unconsciously holding her tightly against his chest. He said, "Wife, I listen to you. I am yours. You are the master of our family."
"Well, I'll listen to you on small matters and I'll listen to me on big matters."
"Nothing is trivial at home."
So, no matter what, I will listen to you.
It's really rare.
Ruan Niannian still remembers what he said before they got married, as long as it didn't violate the law.
What he is saying now is similar in nature, except that he has removed the premise.
When he first met Ruan Niannian, Pei Yuanzheng fell in love at first sight, but deep down he resented her scheming.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Pei Yuanzheng felt extremely ashamed, and felt more distressed and wanted to make amends to Ruan Niannian.
After experiencing all these things after getting married, he finally truly fell in love with Ruan Niannian.
"Oh, by the way, husband, I heard from Uncle Jiu today that Li Dani still has something your mother left for you."
