Chapter 38: Guard

Just by looking at the look, you know that the big guy is very satisfied with the meal, but a few people told the aunt to stop eating the meat dishes next time. They all know that there are three and a half children in Qingshan's family. There is no father or mother, they can eat whatever they want. .
After eating, the cigarettes and alcohol on the table did not move, the aunt opened a pack of cigarettes and divided them over, "You are in love to help, and we can't be careful."
Ye Qingmei made a few words with them, tidying up the rooms of Eucalyptus and Yelan and letting them live. Ye Ning's room was cleaned up and waited for her uncle to come to live. They all slept in Ye Qingshan's room.
The evening was done, and my aunt was crying again holding Ye Qingshan's tablet, her eyes were swollen and she couldn't open her eyes. Ye Ning was afraid that her eyes would break from crying, so she kept persuading her.
"Auntie, don't cry. My dad will feel uneasy when you leave." Ye Lan also persuaded.
"I don't cry, don't cry." With that said, the tears couldn't stop.
At night, several people couldn't sleep, Ye Ning opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. She must have been crying like this when her parents died? I'm afraid it's more sad than this, and I don't know if my eldest brother has tried to persuade my parents to stop crying.
The sky was lightly polished, and Ye Qingmei rustled up, and Ye Ning followed up. Today, there is a mourning hall to be set up, and there are many miscellaneous things.
Master Wu calculated the time to come over, did a ritual, then put the clothes in the coffin, and covered the coffin while chanting.
"Entering the museum is complete, stopping for five days, five days later, there will be funerals." Master Wu will go to see the cemetery again to see how they dug, Ye Ning let Ye Lan follow, Ye Yu will follow San Shugong and shout again People come to eat, which means funeral. Auntie goes to borrow tables, chairs, benches, and tableware, and Ye Ning goes to order meat and tofu.
You can buy tofu for money, or you can directly exchange for beans. One liter of beans is two catties of tofu. Ye Qingshan planted a lot of beans last year. Ye Li can't make tofu. You can't eat much by eating soybeans, so you can just use soybeans instead. , Ten catties of soybeans, one table of tofu, one table is 20 catties, Ye Ning is speechless, the aunt said to change three tables, 60 catties of tofu? The pot can't fit.
She didn’t understand this. Aunt said she could buy whatever she wanted. In addition to tofu, she bought a fan of suet and ordered two large pots of pig blood, ten kilograms of pork and two pigs’ pigs. It was just a reservation. Let Ye Ning pick the meat.
"Are you all ready?" The aunt carried a large basket full of bowls.
"Well, it's all set. I didn't buy peanuts. I don't know who has them in the village."
"I bought this, how many soybeans are left in the house?" Ye Qingmei asked, changing her hand.
"There are still more than five catties." Ye Ning had the final say, it seemed that there was so much left after the tofu was changed.
"Choose beans to make bean sprouts at night." Four cool, four hot and eight dishes. She has prepared all the cold dishes. The hot dishes come with a pork blood tofu, green bean sprouts, meat with pig dumplings, and a green bean to boil potatoes.
Ye Ning thought of the customs that have emerged in recent years, and said: "San Shugong said that for funerals in the past two years, many people will add chicken and duck, and it must be a whole roast chicken and duck."
This Ye Qingmei also knew that, according to her idea, she wouldn't make any flowers.
"I'm Qingshan's sister. I also hope that he can be buried in the beautiful scenery, but we can't take care of face, and we have to think about lizi. Although you have a job now, Xiaolan is going to high school, and he has to continue to go to university. Xiao'an is a primary school, and she will definitely go to high school and university in the future. You have to spend money everywhere. If you can save it, you will save it. Now there are three of you in your family. Even if there are no chickens and ducks, others will not say anything."
If it is really difficult at home, Ye Ning will not mention it, but adding a few chickens and ducks is no problem. She went back to ask Yelan and Ye eucalyptus, and listened to their opinions.
"Sister, I'm going to add chickens and ducks. Let's not talk about making Dad more beautiful. At any rate, I want to have it." Ye Lan thinks that most people have them, but their dad doesn't.
If it was before, Ye Ning felt that when a person died, it would be a pile of ashes. No matter how good she was, she would treat him better when she was alive. But now she feels that people have a soul. Maybe Ye Qingshan will just look at it. She can’t give the best. Generally it's always going to be fine.
"Okay, I'll go find someone to buy it in the afternoon." Ye Ning went out and saw the aunt who was instructing them to set the table in front of the door. She went over and whispered, "I told Xiaolan and the others, thinking about the same Chickens and ducks, it’s still necessary to not slip."
After all the children discussed, Ye Qingmei would not be this villain.
These days she also learned that her niece had changed a lot. She sold the land quietly without telling the news of Qing Shan’s death. Some people said that Qing Shan must have compensation if he died. Some guessed five thousand, some guessed ten thousand. Ye Qingmei didn't intend to ask, these are their brothers and sisters' family backgrounds. Hearing that they had sold more than two thousand land, it was not very difficult for them to want to buy more chickens and ducks.
"Then add, there are many chickens and ducks in Uncle Gen's house, I will ask later." The aunt made a decision immediately.
The mourning hall is set up. As a filial son and a filial daughter, Ye Ning must guard the spirit together. It is unrealistic to watch all night together. There are still many things during the day. The four are divided into two groups, Ye Ning and Ye Lan one day, Ye Qingmei and Ye eucalyptus one day .
July 15th, this day is quite special. Ye Ning and Ye Lan couldn’t help being scared. The third uncle was thoughtful and asked his three sons to come and guard. After a while, several sons from the uncle’s family also came. Up.
A group of people gathered in the mourning hall. Ye Ning and Ye Lan were no longer afraid. One of the uncles asked Ye Ning, "How are you working at Everbright Pharmaceutical Factory?"
"It's okay, the leader treats me very well." Ye Ning only said that she worked in China Everbright Pharmaceutical Factory, and she didn't say what to do. She didn't plan to say anything. If she knew she was in an office, some people in the village would look for her. Help, too much trouble.
"What about the salary? I heard people say that the salary of the pharmaceutical factory workers is high, forty to fifty a month." Another cousin asked.
"No, I just joined the factory, how can I have such a high salary." She didn't say how much, and several cousins ​​were too embarrassed to continue to ask, and instead asked Yelan's school, she learned that her score went to the second high school. , All regret that she didn't go to a secondary school, and she could work out in only two years. When the time comes, the two working sisters are afraid that they will not have a big brother.
Ye Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. It's better to go to the high school entrance examination. If I didn't happen to be able to enter the pharmaceutical factory, I would also go to college. I would have suffered for the past two years. After I graduated from Xiaolan University, my family would be fine."
Ye Lan grabbed Ye Ning's hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Sister, don't worry, I must be admitted to college, and then I will support you."
Ye Ning poked her forehead, "Are you hungry? I'll get something to eat."
"I want to eat noodles." Ye Lan was less polite than before, and if you were polite, it meant she was her own.
When Ye Ning entered the kitchen, she saw Auntie was already cooking noodles, a large pot of green vegetable noodles, when she saw Ye Ning coming over, he beckoned her to pass.
"Come here and help."
One large bowl of noodles, topped with two thick slices of tofu and an omelette, and two bowls of Ye Ning and Ye Qingmei.
"Big cousin, come and eat bowl noodles first." Because her natal family is a guest, we give priority to her natal relatives, and then the sons of the third uncle's family. They and Ye Qingshan are cousins ​​and belong to their own family.
Ye Ning didn't understand the detailed relationship between these relatives, so she didn't say anything at all, and followed Ye Qingmei. She gave it to whoever she said.
By the time Ye Ning and the others, there was not much noodles left in the pot. Auntie poured in the leftover rice from last night, and it turned into pao rice, let’s count it as pao rice, anyway, Ye Ning looked mushy. , Some can't eat.
"You guys have some too." The aunt wanted to serve them.
"No need, Auntie, I'm not very hungry." Ye Ning shook her head, looked at the noodles in the big tub next to her, and changed the subject, "Is this noodles ready? When do we make steamed buns."
"Let me see." While eating the pao rice, the aunt poked with her hand, "It's almost done. I'll call Liupo and Third Uncle to help make the steamed buns. I will steam them before noon tomorrow."
There were not only Liupo and Third Uncle, but also two daughters-in-law of Third Uncle's family. They came over to take a look at the noodles that had been sent out, put on a sleeve apron, and started making steamed buns.
"Three uncles and three uncles are really rare this time. I used to knock on the door and got up immediately, and asked the two daughters-in-law to come and help. You must remember their good, and you will go to his house when you come back for Chinese New Year." Ye Qingmei whispered to Ye Ning.
"I know, I remember it all in my heart." Better than her grandfather, of course she will be a serious relative when she comes back.
Ye Ning and Ye Lan changed into filial obedience and put on burlap, as did Eucalyptus, and they knelt outside the coffin. After a while, the invited people came one after another. ,,,
