Wu Damao and Granny Li both passed away.
This was so sudden that when Liu announced the death, the neighbors couldn't believe it!
After daybreak, the white sails and lanterns were hung up.
Those who were on good terms with the family gradually received the news and began to come to attend the funeral.
The elderly village elders, supporting each other and carrying gifts, encountered Wu Yongfu and his wife on their way. After exchanging pleasantries, they both walked along the road with heavy hearts.
"Why did Da Mao and his wife leave so suddenly?"
"Yes, I heard from my third son's wife yesterday that her aunt went to see Daxue and held Yuanyuan."
"Oh, poor thing, we didn't even get to see Changjun come back..."
"Did you send a letter to Changjun? Never mind, given the situation, it's best not to send one."
"Sigh, even if we send it now, it won't arrive until next year. It won't make it in time, it won't make it in time."
"Luckily, they enjoyed some good times before they left, so it wasn't a loss, it wasn't a loss~"
"Hey, let's go offer incense and send them off on their way."
......
Wu Damao and Granny Li passed away peacefully, if Liu hadn't noticed that her parents-in-law hadn't gotten up for breakfast...
well!
Fortunately, the elderly couple had already prepared their coffins a few years ago. The village chief arranged for someone to help Liu prepare them, dress them in their burial clothes, and place them in the coffins.
Please accept my condolences.
My condolences.
"Changjun's mother, please accept my condolences."
My condolences.
The coffin was placed in the center of the hall. Liu, dressed in hemp clothing, knelt in front of the coffin, and behind her knelt Xiaoxue, who was also wearing white flowers in her hair and dressed in mourning clothes.
The mother and daughter were in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
The flames in the basin burning paper money remained undiminished, and as the villagers walked back and forth to pay their respects, gray ashes rose and fell...
Jiang Yue also came. She left her daughter and granddaughter at home to keep her daughter-in-law company.
As the grandson-in-law, Qingshan naturally served his wife's family diligently, handling everything for them.
To be honest, he was quite surprised too...
The funeral still needs to be held so that the two elderly people can pass away with some dignity.
Even the living still have social interactions and cannot be ignorant of etiquette.
Fortunately, despite the freezing weather these past few days, the preparations for placing the coffin and carrying the spirit have proceeded smoothly...
After the funeral was over, the New Year quietly arrived.
Unlike the bustling atmosphere of previous years, Jiang Yue's home was much quieter this year.
Everything was kept simple, and everyone was considerate of Da Xue's feelings and looked after Liu and her daughter...
For the safety of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Qingshan bought two women, both strong and rough-looking, and they held the indentures with him.
Don't misunderstand, he wasn't keeping a backup plan against his mother-in-law, he was just afraid that the two of them would fool her and take over the reins!
These two men usually follow their mother-in-law's instructions to lighten her burden.
If anyone harbors any disloyal intentions, he will tie them up and send them back to the brokerage firm to be resold!
After being heartbroken for a while, Da Xue slowly emerged from her grief at her wife's house, accompanied by her two children.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death, the cycle of reincarnation—this is eternal. What she needs to do is cherish every day with her family, be filial to her elders, be a good wife and mother, fulfill the duties of an elder sister-in-law, and love her younger siblings...
After figuring things out, the lochia from the heavy snow cleared up, and her complexion gradually improved. She regained her energy and was finally able to get out of bed and walk around a bit.
After Wenwan learned that her great-grandparents had passed away, she would come to her grandmother's room to sleep every night.
She loves her grandma so much, she wants to keep a close eye on her and not let her leave her!
Spring is still chilly, and the weather is unpredictable, with sudden warm spells followed by cold spells.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, spring has arrived after the ice and snow have melted.
After Little Tangyuan opened her eyes, she began to recognize people.
This is the most fun time. Sometimes Jiang Yue takes care of her grandson and can stay in the house for a long time.
By the way, my grandson's name is Wenxuan, and he is deeply loved by the whole family.
Xiao Wenhao, Wen Yu, and their granddaughter Wen Wan all adore their youngest brother.
One by one, they brought out their treasured toys to the little one.
"Little brother, here you go, this is your sister's favorite rattle drum~"
Wenwan gave her a colorful rattle drum, which she bought on Jinling Street.
Wenhao gave him a grasshopper woven from straw, which was exceptionally lifelike. He usually wouldn't even let his younger brother touch it, but this time he did—
"Grow up quickly, little brother, big brother will take you to catch grasshoppers~"
"When I grow up, I'll follow my second brother. My second brother can do somersaults!"
Poor Wenyu, he loves to eat, and all the pastries his older brother and great-grandparents brought back from Nanjing have already been eaten by him. So, right now, his most precious skill is doing somersaults.
"Giggle~"
The little dumpling was very happy and drooled.
Seeing so many children in the heavy snow brought a rare moment of relief to my mood.
He instructed Chunhua to fetch some sugar pastries.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Chunhua accepted the order and quickly went to the kitchen. She told Qiuhua and Donghua, then brought out a plate of freshly baked sugar pastries…
In late March or early April, the two young men returned home in glory.
The villagers of Wujia Village lined the road to welcome them, praising the two for their good manners...
The village chief opened the ancestral hall and sent two people to the hall to burn incense to the ancestors.
After a series of elaborate rituals, Jiang Yue and Liu Shi each took their sons away.
Needless to say, Qingyun is a young man with high aspirations, humble and polite, and has completely transformed.
Chang Jun is refined and extraordinary, and his demeanor is quite different from before.
However, after Liu told him that his grandparents had passed away one after another...
Regardless, the deceased are gone, and the living are gone.
"Third Uncle~"
Did you bring Wan'er anything delicious?
As soon as Qingyun got home, before she could even sit down, she was hugged tightly by her little short-legged niece.
However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he bent down, picked up his little niece, and joked:
"So Wan'er only wants to eat delicious food, but doesn't want her third uncle."
"Third Uncle, can you smell it?"
Wenwan hugged her third uncle's neck, then suddenly sniffed the air with her little nose and began to spout nonsense with a straight face:
"It's so sour!"
"You little rascal!"
Qingyun smiled, realizing what was going on. How could her little niece be so clever?
"Wan'er, come down. Your third uncle is tired from his long journey."
Qingshan stretched out his hands, his face stern, trying to pull his daughter down.
"No, I don't want to! I want Uncle San to hold me!"
Wen Wan wasn't buying it. She knew her father was just faking it, and she wasn't afraid.
"Master, the food is ready. Please take your seats and we will serve the dishes."
When Aunt Ge saw Third Master return home in glory, she was not happy at all.
As early as when Third Master's letter arrived, she had already started preparing everything with Qiuhua and Donghua.
It seems that Third Master must have been hungry, having endured wind and rain on his journey back and not having eaten his hometown food for a long time.
Da Xue appeared, carrying her youngest son. Upon seeing this, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said sternly:
"Wan'er, come down, your third uncle is about to eat."
"Okay, Mom~"
Wenwan was afraid of her mother, because her mother really would spank her!
