MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 2 funeral
Wan Shi, who has always been very strong, couldn't help crying when he heard this, and hugged Li Baolu tightly into his arms.
The grandfather and grandson were crying in the yard, which soon attracted the second uncle's family.
Li Hong and Mei Shi could not help but be surprised when they saw that Li Baolu could not only speak, but also the dullness on her face was gone.
You must know that Li Baolu has been an idiot since she was born, so her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law insisted on raising her, thinking that she would become normal.
Li Hong stepped forward and looked at her seriously for a moment before hugging her from his mother's hand, comforting Mrs Wan: "Mother, this is a great fortune among misfortunes, Baolu not only can speak, but also enlightened after this incident. Even her father took it. She can clearly see that she has been favored by her ancestors, even if her elder brother and sister-in-law go, there is still me, and I will raise her like my own daughter."
said again: "I have to tell my father and elder brother and elder sister about this, so that they can go in peace."
The entire Li family was exiled to Qiongzhou, which is considered to be in the middle of the family, and the funeral has been simplified again and again, but because Li Bo and Li Kang died in a shipwreck, the Wan family insisted on being suspended for seven days to summon the soul, so even if Li Baolu was in a coma for five days Still in time for their funeral.
At this time, three coffins were placed in the main room of the Li family.
Li Hong carried Li Baolu into the main room, made her kneel on the futon in the middle, and taught her softly, "Baolu, above are your grandfather and mother, come and kowtow to them."
Li Baolu raised her eyes and stared blankly at the three coffins and spiritual places above.
The three people who love her the most and tolerate her the most in this life don't even have a corpse?
Seeing her dumbfounded, Mrs Wan stepped forward and hugged her, held her little hand and led her to kowtow, while kowtowing: "Your grandfather and your parents haven't left yet, now you kowtow to them and they can still see See, they will feel at ease when they see you are well."
Li Baolu's lips moved slightly, and she was speechless from the heartache.
She could not be filial in front of her parents in both lives. Although her parents were still alive when she died in the previous life, they hadn't seen each other for a long time due to work, let alone Chenghuan's knees.
She is still a big child who worries her parents.
And in this life, her parents have only one child of her, and although life is difficult, she has everything to do with her. Although she was in a daze, she occasionally woke up. When she was awake, she watched the young parents take care of her clumsily, and she was not unmoved.
So she tried hard to wake up and not make them sad.
But they didn't wait for her to wake up after receiving the memory of her previous life, and they left before she grew up.
At this moment, Li Baolu deeply realized the grief and helplessness of "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and the child wants to be raised but the parent doesn't wait".
Li Baolu raised her head and took a deep look at the tablet, then broke free from her grandmother's embrace and kowtowed three times.
Wan was very relieved to see it, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, our Baolu has grown up!"
She turned her head and said to Li Hong: "Since Baolu is sensible, let her throw a pot and beat a banner for your eldest brother and sister-in-law. They only have Baolu's bloodline, and Baolu will send them to them, and they are also happy."
Li Hong frowned slightly, glanced at Bao Lu who was kneeling on the futon, and objected in a low voice: "Mother, Bao Lu only speaks, and she is young, so you may not understand these things, so let Brother Jun come."
Brother Jun is Li Hong's son and the only male in the Li family. He is two years older than Li Baolu.
Li Baolu, who was kneeling at his feet, raised his head to look at his second uncle, and said with difficulty but resolutely: "Second uncle, I, come here, hold the spirit!"
Li Baolu spoke slowly and vaguely, but everyone present understood.
Hearing that Li Baolu disobeyed him, Li Hong was slightly unhappy, but seeing his mother's expression of relief, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
Second Aunt Mei was very happy, and took the initiative to say: "Then I will go to prepare Baolu's mourning clothes now, and then teach her the funeral rules. Mother, don't worry, I will teach her well before the funeral to ensure that she will not make mistakes. "
"I'll teach her rules, and you can prepare mourning clothes." Although Baolu seems to have become smarter, she is still young, and she is not immune to failure if she doesn't learn well. She teaches well.
Although Li Baolu still had some difficulty speaking, she was quick to accept new knowledge. After all, she had already remembered all the memories of her previous life, and her body was equivalent to a twenty-six-year-old adult soul, so Wan taught her the etiquette and rules for her. Learned quickly.
Wan is both happy and sad, Baolu is so smart, she can feel more at ease, but unfortunately her husband and eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law did not see it.
Li Baolu kept watch for her parents while learning the rules. Apart from communicating with her grandmother, she hardly talked to anyone else. Even when her second uncle squatted down to tease her, Baolu didn't even look up at her.
She knew that the second uncle didn't like her. When she was "clumsy" in the past, the second uncle often looked at her with cold eyes behind his back, and did not hide his disgust for her at all.
She didn't believe that her parents were dead. She became smarter and her second uncle changed his attitude towards her. He did this just for his grandmother.
Just like coaxing her in front of her parents, it was for her parents to see.
Baolu's resistance to Li Hong was invisible to others, but Wan felt it.
She glanced at her second son calmly, went up to hug Baolu and said, "Good boy, stay here tonight, you are still young, taking care of your body is the greatest filial piety to your parents."
"You should be alert at night, don't let the lights go out, your father and elder brother and elder sister-in-law will point to the direction of the lights to go home." Mr. Wan instructed Li Hong as usual.
Li Hong hurriedly responded and assured: "Mother don't worry."
Li Baolu leaned on her grandmother's arms and looked up at the lantern. People who died in other places need to evoke their souls to return to their hometown. Since their grandfather and parents died in the sea, they didn't even have a corpse, so they also lit a lantern.
It is said that the lamp will not go out for seven days. This is the penultimate day. After today and tomorrow, their souls will follow the lamp and go back to the cemetery. This is the beginning and the end, and they can go to the underworld. to reincarnate.
If it was in her previous life, she would definitely not believe it, and even thought it was a feudal superstition, but after experiencing death-rebirth, Li Baolu no longer dared to deny it firmly.
Not to mention that this involves the three people closest to him.
Li Baolu lay on her grandmother's arms and said, "Grandma, I want to look at the lamp."
Wan patted her on the back and said, "Your second uncle will watch, you are a child, just listen to the adults, don't you think your big sister and big brother are going to bed?"
Li Baolu was embarrassed immediately, lying on the bed without speaking.
Wan turned her head and asked her seriously, "Baolu, tell your grandmother, don't you like the second uncle?"
Li Baolu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said nothing.
"Why don't you like Second Uncle?" Wan asked softly.
Li Baolu didn't answer, she turned over and faced her with her butt.
Wan sighed and stopped asking.
Baolu's childish heart is the best to distinguish between likes and dislikes. If Erlang hadn't shown ill will towards her, Baolu wouldn't be so disgusted with him.
Besides, Wan Shi has also faintly noticed the change in the second son these days, but because of the sudden loss of a close relative, he is too sad and reluctant to investigate it further.
But Baolu will have to rely on Erlang to live in the future. This child has such a tough temper, how can she get along with her second uncle in the future?
Wan Shi was full of worries, staring at the lights outside the window and staying up all night.
Li Baolu didn't sleep much, she kept thinking about her parents and grandfather in this life.
Because she has less time to wake up, she doesn't have many memories of them, but any memories of them are very warm.
The young couple always worked hard to save money in order to make her live better. She was the stupidest child of the Li family, but she was the happiest.
He wears new clothes every year, eats meat every four or five days, and has a piece of candy every day. Even Li Jun, the only boy in the family, can only wear clothes that have been changed from his sister's clothes. Traded a candy from her parents by taking care of her...
They don't think she will always be stupid, so even if she doesn't understand and doesn't respond, they still insist on teaching her to eat, wash her face, and dress herself...
And grandfather, Li Baolu was able to live so well in the Li family, and half of it was because the grandfather, the former imperial physician, who was the head of the family, asserted that she was not a brain problem, but she was not yet enlightened. When the time came, she would naturally become enlightened and sensible.
The old man who often took her in his arms and recognized the herbs also left her forever.
Tears slipped quietly from the corners of her tightly closed eyes, and fell on the pillow and disappeared immediately.
Li Baolu just slept half-sleep all night, and the next day the chickens crowing, they got up to go to the mourning hall with their grandmother.
Looking at her granddaughter with swollen eyes, Wan sighed and took her little hand to the mourning hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Baolu went to look at the evoking lamp. Seeing that the lamp oil was about to burn out, and the flame shrunk to the size of a soybean, she immediately grabbed her grandmother and said anxiously, "Lamp, lamp!"
Wan frowned, glanced at the mourning hall and didn't see Li Hong, and then quickly stepped forward to add oil to the evocation lamp, and the grandparents and grandsons breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the flame that had become smaller was rising again.
Baolu took the incense and knelt on the futon, and whispered: "Grandfather, father, mother, come back when you see the lights, come back and see Baolu, Baolu has woken up, and will only get smarter in the future. "
The grandfather and grandson knelt down on the futon and Li Hong rushed over. He hurriedly explained: "I went to the latrine, mother, why did you get up so early? It's only five watch, you go to sleep for a while. Bar."
went to coax Baolu again, "Baolu, are you sleepy? Would you like to go to sleep for a while?"
Li Baolu glanced at her grandmother, who was as heavy as water, and shook her head, "I won't go."
paused, probably feeling that the tone was too stiff, and added: "Not sleepy."
Wan was a little unhappy, after all, Li Hong came out of the room at first sight.
She didn't ask the second son to stay up all night to guard the mourning hall, he just wanted to do so and she still felt sorry for his body.
But there is a floor on one side of the mourning hall, where people can rest. After all, the mourning hall cannot be separated from people.
If they hadn't come just now, who would have known if the spirit lamp would have gone out?
