I wish you and your family happiness and a happy Lantern Festival~
(I went out to watch the fireworks with my family today. It was cold and noisy. I didn’t hold on for a while before I came back. However, I still had a severe headache. It might have been blown by the wind~ It seems that I haven’t had such a splitting headache like today in a long time.)

Sure enough, Hehua quickly read through Sun Jianyu's letter. The shopkeeper's family spent a lot of money, so in the end they only fined him a silver coin. Moreover, the shopkeeper insisted that Qi Xiangping deceived him and put all the blame on Qi Xiangping. Qi Xiangping's family had no way to plead for mercy, so they were eventually sentenced to hard labor and had to go south to build river embankments for two years.
When Lotus saw the news, Chapter 201 I wish the old man was worried and didn't know what his mood should be. He sat on the edge of the kang and was in a daze for a while. He folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope. He took out his account book and wrote down today's The accounts were written down clearly, and finally the letter and the account book were locked in the box.
As we enter the twelfth lunar month, the busy New Year begins, but this year the Zhu family is a bit busy. The old man is not in good health, and he has been lying on the kang unable to get up. He keeps taking soups and medicines, and no one can think of anything busy and festive. Angry. But thinking about it on the other hand, with the old man's current health, no one can say whether this is the last year he will live. If that is the case, everyone should make arrangements properly.
So Fang and Lin were planning New Year celebrations at home with complicated thoughts. Lao Zhutou called all three sons together to discuss preparing birthday materials. Yang also took advantage of Laba I went to pull out the material for the shroud before. According to rural customs, these things must be prepared in advance, and they must be inspected by the elderly when they are built. They must be purchased so that the elderly like them and think they are right.
Hehua accompanies the old man in Zhu's room, talking to him while he is in good spirits, or reading to him from his storybook when he closes his eyes to rest. The storybooks are also specially written by Hehua. Chapter 201 Blessings The old man was so worried that he asked Bo Rong to borrow books in the city. They were all books about Yang Gongan and chivalry. The books they talked about were quite to the old man's liking.
That day, while I was reading a storybook, Ms. Yang came in with her clothes in her arms and said to the old man: "Dad, do you think these clothes still care about you?"
Hehua initially thought they were just new clothes worn during the New Year, but she didn't think much about it. Who knew that after the old man saw it, he only said that he did a good job. After Yang went out, he became extremely depressed and did not let her continue. Reading from the notebook, he just leaned on the quilt and said nothing.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Are you tired? How about I help you lie down and have a rest?" Hehua put the book in her hand aside and asked.
"Hehua, tell me honestly, am I not going to live for a few more days?" the old man suddenly asked.
"..." Hehua was stunned by his question, and then said after a while, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? The New Year is coming soon, so you are not allowed to say such unlucky words. What does the doctor say every time he comes to see a doctor? You didn’t listen to it yourself, so why do you still think like this when you’re so normal!”
"Your grandma is busy making materials for my shroud. I'm thinking, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this new year." As the old man spoke, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. The veins and blood vessels on his thin hands were very clear. Tremblingly, he wiped away the tears.
"Grandpa, don't think nonsense. I didn't ask Dr. Zheng in the city to show it to you last time. People have said that you are suffering from a mental illness. You came up with it by yourself. Don't think about anything. Just eat raw every day. Take the medicine, eat well, and you will feel better in a few days." He spent a long time trying to persuade the old man to sleep, and then went to the west room and asked: "Master, grandma, why are you making longevity materials and shrouds at the same time? Yes, what are you doing? Isn’t my grandfather still doing well now? He doesn’t skip words.
"You kid, what do you know? These things have to be made before you die. How can you wait until someone is gone to arrange these things? Back then, my father, who was only in his early fifties, found someone to make the longevity materials and put them at home!" Yang Shi said while embroidering the patterns on the shroud, "Besides, the elderly would like to see these in advance to feel at ease. Otherwise, they will not be at ease when they die, fearing that their children and grandchildren will not give them a good burial."
"But..." He Hua said very incomprehensibly, "but just now my grandfather didn't feel at all relieved after looking at the shroud. He even asked me if he was going to die, and said... that our family was in a hurry to make him a shroud. I’m afraid I won’t survive this year…”
Yang was stunned when she heard this, wondering where this was mentioned, but she suddenly slapped her leg and said: "How could I forget this problem?" After saying that, she went to the yard to find the saw. Chaihuo’s old Zhutou asked: “Dad, in your hometown, what are the rules and regulations for handling posthumous matters for the elderly? Is it different from what we have here? "
Lao Zhutou was stunned by Yang's question, and after a while he said: "How did I know? I didn't remember anything when my mother died, and then she came to Qijia Village when I was ten years old. How did I know that I What are the rules in my hometown?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yang was so angry that she hit him twice on the back and said, "This son of yours is really a waste of money!"
When Lao Zhutou heard this, he became anxious, especially when he saw that He Hua was still there. He immediately threw away the saw in his hand and glared: "What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Yang repeated what the old man had just said to He Hua and said, "The rules in your hometown are different from ours. Two days ago, you said that you should prepare the shrouds and materials first. This is great, Dad. I'm afraid I'm thinking wrong now, thinking that I won't live for a few days, and we are all in a hurry to see him die, what do you think this is?"
Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this for the first time. He smacked his mouth and said after a while: "I really don't know what the rules are in our hometown. I... I'll go in and talk to dad!"
Hehua heard this and stopped Lao Zhutou and said, "Master, go ahead and say no, Grandpa must think we are fooling him!"
Lao Zhutou felt that what He Hua said was reasonable, but he couldn't think of any other way. He could only squat on the ground, took out his pipe and pot and started filling it with shredded tobacco. He asked angrily: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Is there anyone in our village who is younger than Grandpa and still strong, but has already purchased the shrouds and materials? I can find someone like this and ask him to pretend to come to visit and chat with Grandpa. Let’s talk about the matter and let Grandpa know that this is the habit here, and everyone who is old must buy it, it doesn’t mean that he is about to die.”
After hearing this, Lao Zhutou clapped his thigh and said: "Hehua's little head is clever with melon seeds. This matter is easy to handle. Your second grandfather's family has prepared it for a long time. I'll go find him and tell him to come over and visit." What’s wrong with my son nagging?”
