After the meal, Song Zidong and his friends went back.
Lin Lu and his friends have something to do in the evening.
Tonight is the last night for salvation. Mr. Chaodu has already chosen a place and will carry the body up the mountain for burial tomorrow.
There is a custom here before burial that the son-in-law has to buy candy or fruit for those who help.
They might even hide the firecrackers bought by the sons-in-law, and then you have to pay them and buy them from them, and you can't get angry.
The guests from far away went back, but those who lived nearby wanted to join in the fun and stayed.
So, when the suffering was being rescued, a circle of people gathered outside to watch the fun.
Lin Jingbei still went with his grandparents, while Lin Lu and Lin Jingbei sat on the side and watched.
There were a few people who wanted to grab Song Chen's firecrackers, so they had to have a few words before they started.
"Son-in-law Song, why don't you go and help the suffering people? I don't think I've seen you help anyone these past few nights."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the firecrackers Song Chen placed behind him.
Song Chen: "I injured my foot when I was in the army, so I can't kneel very well."
To save the suffering, one has to circle around and kowtow when reaching the front. One has to kowtow thirty or forty times in one night.
The eldest sister-in-law who was in charge of the conversation smiled and said, "Then you two are quite similar. Both of you have bad legs."
What are you talking about?
Song Chen didn't want to correct too much: "Yes."
While he was silent, several sisters-in-law immediately picked up the firecrackers behind the stool and handed them to the sisters who came to support them.
"I grabbed Song's son-in-law's."
Everyone laughed while holding firecrackers
"Son-in-law Song, please buy us some candy later."
This kind of thing was supposed to be given, and Song Chen didn't care about the few dollars for buying candy.
"Okay, whatever you want to eat, I will definitely buy it for you."
The sister-in-law who grabbed the firecrackers said: "Son-in-law Song is so generous. Lin Lu has found a good man."
That’s right. Just now they tried to snatch firecrackers from the homes of several other grandsons-in-law and grandsons-in-law, causing a lot of unpleasantness.
Some firecrackers are hidden so tightly that they cannot be found. According to custom, you can steal shoes or coats.
Because there were so many people, the inevitable struggles and snatching would easily cause clothes to be torn.
Some people are angry and have a sullen face.
Several sisters-in-law were not in a good mood.
The man even said in a nice way, I can give it to you, but you can't take it away from you.
I'm fucking speechless.
Fortunately, son-in-law Song is quite generous.
After the crying ceremony, it is time to set off firecrackers.
Song Chen asked directly: "Sister-in-law, I don't have any candy on me, can you give me money?"
Of course!
If they are given money, they can buy candy and fruit by themselves.
Buy whatever you want to eat.
"Okay, but we need 12 pieces. There are six of us, so a two-piece candy isn't too much."
Song Chen: "Not too much."
I paid the money on the spot.
Lin Changchun also gave money, but he took twelve yuan from Song Chen and only symbolically took two yuan from him.
I also took some from other sons-in-law and grandsons-in-law, so everyone has money for tonight's midnight snack.
Some people turned their attention to the new relatives, saying, "They are the old lady's family, so they should pay more."
My aunt was worried that she would scare her wealthy relatives, so she defended them, saying, "No, they're from the city, they don't do that."
The three people sitting at the door watching the fun, heard everyone's criticism directed at this side, and said very generously: "Okay, it's just for fun, so I'll treat everyone to some candy. My aunt has been here for so many years and has received a lot of help from everyone. This money is a thank you."
The two young men each took out a hundred yuan from their wallets.
So generous.
Everyone was excited, and the children were jumping around and saying they wanted candy.
After the sisters-in-law got the money, they left. They asked someone to take them to town and they could buy some candy to share.
The crowd was lively.
Xu Wanglin accidentally saw a familiar person - Lin Lu.
The reason why he looked familiar was not because he had seen Lin Lu before, but because Lin Lu looked very similar to his aunt when she was young.
He asked Li Jinyang next to him: "Is that person also a relative of yours?"
Li Jinyang looked in the direction of his finger: "Oh, that's my aunt's daughter, Lin Lu."
"Your grandmother's granddaughter?"
"Yes, she studied in Kyoto." Li Jinyang nodded.
Xu Wanglin: "Is that so? Why didn't I see her just now?"
Li Jinyang was so stupid that he didn't realize that he was being tricked.
"Maybe it was because there were so many people in the morning, so she went to do something. The child who just helped grandpa over was her son."
Xu Wanglin nodded and said with a kind smile: "Okay, I'll go over and talk to her."
Li Jinyang followed his parents' instructions and took good care of these relatives.
"Uncle, go back to the living room and sit down. I'll call her over. It's not right for an elder to go looking for a younger one."
Xu Wanglin waved his hand, looking very casual: "No, I like to get some fresh air outside. The air here is very good."
Then, he called his two sons and went towards Lin Lu's family.
Because he was bored, Lin Lu was listening to Lin Jingbei talking about stock trading. Song Chen didn't understand but listened anyway.
Song Chen noticed someone stopped beside him out of the corner of his eye and slowly turned his head.
Saw a group of people!
Several younger members of the Li family followed the three men like bodyguards.
Li Jinyang: "Director, my uncle wants to talk to you."
Lin Lu and Lin Jingbei stopped talking.
Xu Wanglin looked her straight in the eye and asked, "Your name is Lin Lu?"
Lin Lu nodded and said calmly, "What do you want from me?"
