The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi felt itchy in her heart. She wanted to go out for a visit, but she felt that the time was not right. "Is it possible that we will receive a letter asking us to come back just after we leave?"

"It's very possible. After all, grandma's body won't last long."

"Can't you get better?"

Cheng Feng shook his head and said: "I am old and this is the last time."

"Then wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go on a long trip now?"

"It's okay. We can't just wait for her time to come. Things like life and death are left to fate and no one can control it. The day will be decided."

"Then if you look at it like this, I'll pack my things."

Seeing Shang Xi's impatient look, Cheng Feng was absolutely amused.

"Take care of it. If I don't take you and your son out, my son will be exhausted by you."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng picked up Cheng Youning. Although he was writing, his little ears were not idle for a moment. He heard his parents' words clearly. Although he could not understand them all, he talked about the two people who were about to go out. He understood the sentence.

Cheng Feng put the brush in his hand aside, and Cheng Youning pursed his lips and smiled again.

Shang Xi said: "If you hire so many teachers for him, you are not afraid of tiring him. I will teach him to write a few words and he will be tired."

Cheng Feng hugged the delighted Cheng Youning and said, "You told your mother that it made you tired."

"mother."

Shang Xi smiled and rolled his eyes at Cheng Youning, "You are heartless and don't know who is good or bad."

In their family of three, Cheng Youning is the busiest because there are quite a few teachers for him.

On weekdays, the people who frequently come and go in this courtyard are not outsiders. They are all teachers invited by Cheng Feng to Cheng Youning.

Shang Xi just sketches on the white paper every day. She curses Boss Qian in her heart every day. This person is really difficult for her. He builds a shabby house and still torments her like this. He has the most demands among all her clients. .

It was unreasonable for her to work for nothing and still be picked on. So at this moment, she wanted to go to Bianjing to open her eyes.

After two days, Uncle Chen and his family successfully moved into the small courtyard. Everything in this small courtyard is good, but it is less popular during the day. The four grown men of the Chen family did not come back before the sun went down. As a result, Yuhua didn't come here during the day. She only went back to boil water for everyone to wash and make tea at night, and then returned to Shang Xi's home the next morning.

On the same day, Cheng Feng also received a letter from Beicheng.

Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng to quickly read Boss Qian's reply and see if Boss Qian would be back soon.

Cheng Feng put down the letter and said, "We have to go back to Beicheng first."

"It's grandma..."

Cheng Feng nodded. This was not a reply from Boss Qian, but a letter urging them to go back.

This kind of thing can't be delayed for a minute. The two of them just packed up and got ready to go.

Cheng Youning pulled Cheng Feng's clothes. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that his parents were anxious to go out. His purpose was very clear, that is, he wanted to follow them.

He saw that the adults had no intention of taking him with him, so he said nothing, tightly holding Cheng Feng's clothes with his stubborn little hands, telling them what he was going to do with his eyes.

Cheng Feng's heart softened. He touched Cheng Youning's little head with his big hand and made a simple agreement with his son: "Be obedient. Daddy will take you out again in a few days. Today you and Aunt Yuhua are at home."

"When are you coming back?"

"How many days will it take?"

"How many days?"

Cheng Feng thought for a while and said, "At least five days."

"How many days at most?"

The father and son looked at each other. The child was no longer easy to fool, and ambiguous words could no longer deceive him.

Cheng Feng had no choice but to pick up Cheng Youning, groped his back and said, "I'm not sure how long it will take to come back. Your mother and I will come back as soon as possible."

Seeing Cheng Youning's tears welling up in his eyes, Shang Xi's eyes also turned red.

Cheng Feng cruelly handed Cheng Youning over to Yuhua, then pulled Shang Xi and turned around to leave. As soon as he left the house, he heard Cheng Youning crying. The voice was still so loud, and he was still crying so hard, just like when he was a child. Same.

Hearing Cheng Youning's cry, Shang Xi couldn't move forward, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

Cheng Feng wiped it for her and comforted Shang Xi, saying, "There are so many people this time. We can't take good care of Cheng Youning. He is safest only at home."

Could Shang Xi not understand this? Beicheng was full of pitfalls and hurdles. If it hadn't been for a reason, she wouldn't have made this trip to Beicheng.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in Beicheng. The Han family's originally grand high-gate compound was wrapped in white cloth. A sense of desolation lingered in the Han family's mansion. From a hundred meters away, it could be seen that the family was holding a funeral.

People came and went from time to time inside and outside the door. Everyone's face was covered with a layer of sadness, and they walked quietly and very depressed. As soon as the two of them entered the door of the Han family, they arrived at the mourning hall under the guidance of the steward. .

The first people I saw were my uncle and aunt at the door. After a few brief words, they went to kowtow to grandma. After completing this, they were invited to other rooms.

It only took three minutes from entering the mourning hall to leaving. Shang Xi felt that this was too fast.

Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng in a low voice: "Don't we have to keep vigil like Nian Xia and the others?"

Cheng Feng pulled Shang Xi and lowered his voice, "What we need for the wake are people from the Han family. Except for the Han family, they are all people with other surnames. People with other surnames are not qualified to keep the tomb."

It turned out to be like this. It was really different from what she knew. She thought she was going to kneel here for three days and three nights like Nian Xia. She had been prepared all the way, but in the end there was no such link. Look. She knows too little about etiquette and customs.

"come?"

The person who greeted them was Boss Qian. A second ago, Boss Qian was frowning, but he relaxed when he saw the two of them.

"Where's my mother?"

Boss Qian pointed to a room inside and said, "It's inside, go and have a look."

Boss Qian's tone made Shang Xi's heart tighten, and a bad premonition came to his mind. When he listened carefully to the voice of a woman, Shang Xi's hearing was naturally weaker than normal people, and she couldn't tell who made the voice. , but there was already a faint uneasiness in my heart.

Cheng Feng saw her nervous expression and walked in front of her, while she followed behind Cheng Feng.

There were no outsiders in the house, Mr. Wan and Wan Baiqian, and there was another person lying on the bed. He knew it was Mrs. Wan without even looking.

"What happened to my mother?"

Mr. Wan seemed to be getting a little older. He said to Cheng Feng and Shang Xi: "It's the same old habit, don't be nervous."

Mrs. Wan was lying on the bed, her eyes wide open but not focused, and she looked completely unconscious. She kept shouting someone's name.
