Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

At five o'clock in the morning, when Yi Bufan sent Lou Xiao'e back home, his waist and legs were sore and he just wanted to go back to sleep.

However, when I just walked near the gate, I saw a familiar figure.

Deaf old lady.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for this old woman to come out for a stroll at this time.

Moreover, now it seems that he is not even using a cane, but is holding it in his hand.

Originally, Yi Bufan wanted to see what this old woman was doing.

However, after squatting for less than a minute, he discovered that the deaf old lady had gone back to the yard.

"Fuck, did I miss something?"

Yi Bufan muttered to himself and frowned, looking around for a while but didn't see any suspicious people.

In the end, I could only scratch my head and go back.

As soon as I walked back to the central courtyard, I heard the sound of cutting vegetables next to the mourning shed.

It seems that it was fortunate that Lou Xiao'e left in time, otherwise she would not have been able to leave.

"Hey, Brother Zhuzi, you got up pretty early."

Yi Bufan walked over to the makeshift kitchen next to the mourning shed. It was actually just an earthen stove and a big pot. There was a table next to it and a lot of cabbages on the ground.

"Just right, help wash that piece of meat."

Sha Zhu's work was in vain, so he didn't ask any apprentice to help him.

"Just this piece of meat? For today's banquet?"

"This is less than two pounds, right? Are you going to make a big pot of minced meat soup?"

Yi Bufan took a look and realized that his own family probably bought more than this.

"Just do whatever you're told to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

I don't even want to complain.

The reason you complain is that they are poor. If you have the ability, you should give them money.

"Forget it, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep."

"You should make meatballs. I remember Dongxu likes meatballs and cabbage soup."

"Who knows, maybe Brother Dongxu will come to help you later."

Yi Bufan left after he finished speaking, without even caring about Sha Zhu whose body and hands were shaking.

Sha Zhu wanted to curse, but he found that the sound was stuck at the edge of his throat.

After moving his lips a few times, he dropped the kitchen knife and ran back into the house.

Of course, I didn't forget to bolt the door and wait until dawn to cook.

Many people asked for leave in the morning.

People in the yard also went to Jia Dongxu's mourning shed one by one to pay their respects.

After all, we have been neighbors for many years, so it might as well be considered a present.

Yi Bufan also got up when the sun was high in the sky and came out to worship together.

By the way, I took a look at Shazhu who was busy cutting vegetables.

"Brother Zhuzi, you haven't even cooked this little dish yet. Your cooking skills have declined."

Yi Bufan walked in, picked up a cabbage heart and started eating it.

The main reason is that I couldn’t find anything else to eat. There was not even any cold dishes or cooked meat.

"roll!"

Shazhu now feels annoyed when he sees Yi Bufan.

"You have a bad temper, but you have to cook the dishes well so that Brother Dongxu won't be reluctant to leave."

After Yi Bufan finished speaking, he hurried out and saw Xu Damao.

"Brother Damao, where are you going?"

"Are you still going to work today?"

Yi Bufan was planning to ask for leave later.

"Go to work, and still wait here for the feast."

"Haven't you heard? There are only four dishes, and one of them is a steamed bun. Don't join in the fun."

Xu Damao looked towards the mourning shed.

"Hey, this Jia family is really good, they are trying to get something for nothing and get the gift money for free."

Yi Bufan also thought that there seemed to be really no food.

"It's over if you don't eat it, come on, I'll give you a ride!"

Xu Damao also doesn't recommend Yi Bufan to eat it.

"it is good."

"By the way, you and sister-in-law, are you really planning to divorce?"

"Aren't you going to go get it back?"

Yi Bufan felt that Xu Damao was really patient.

Maybe he thought that Lou Xiao'e would not take the initiative to ask for a divorce from him.

"Jia Dongxu has been in the yard these days. I plan to bury this guy and then go pick her up."

Xu Damao said this and got on his bicycle.

Even if you want to divorce, you can't do it now. Find an opportunity and have a legitimate reason.

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

Yi Bufan jumped up holding the back seat.

What Lou Xiao'e said was right. It turned out that I won’t go looking for him in the next few days.

Otherwise the truth would have been revealed, as Lou Xiao'e didn't return until the early morning.

......

noon.

Under the supervision of Jia Zhangshi, Yan Bugui set up the table and prepared the etiquette book early in the morning, right at the door of Jia's house, to make it convenient for Jia Zhangshi to check.

"Zhang Cuihua, the table is ready and the dishes are served. We just need to start the feast."

Liu Haizhong is very concerned about this matter.

"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

The deaf old lady also walked to the central courtyard, which was considered to be giving face to Jia Zhang.

After all, they are now secretly in the same faction as Liu Haizhong.

"Maybe he hasn't gotten off work yet."

Yi Zhonghai also took a look. He was not only an uncle, but also Jia Dongxu's master, so he had to come.

"It's already twelve o'clock!"

"Everyone in the yard, come and pay respect!"

Jia Zhang looked at the empty book of etiquette.

"Put five dollars on it for me."

Liu Haizhong was the first to take the lead.

"Okay, Liu Haizhong, five dollars!"

"I'll write it down first, one dollar."

After Yan Bugui finished writing it down, he turned to look at Jia Zhangshi and said, "We agreed that I will pay for it."

Jia Zhang nodded, took the five dollars from Liu Haizhong, and looked up at Yi Zhonghai.

"I'll come over and write it down later. I changed my clothes today and I don't have any money."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to see how much Yi Bufan had put in.

Ten minutes passed...

Half an hour passed...

At two o'clock, no one came.

"The food has been heated up once. If you don't eat it, you have to heat it up again."

Sha Zhu was also puzzled when he saw the few people in the yard. There were even fewer people guarding the yard than usual.

"Where did they all go? Why didn't anyone come from the street office?"

Jia Zhang's face turned pale.

"Why don't we start the feast first, and then arrange the burial after we're done, or else the time will run out."

Liu Haizhong reminded.

For someone like Jia Dongxu, who died in an accident at the factory, Jia Zhang specially picked a date and held the funeral and burial at around 4:00 p.m.

"Eat, eat quickly!"

Jia Zhang was so angry.

I was originally expecting to earn 150 or 60 yuan, but now...

However, at around three o'clock, when Sha Zhu was helping Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu pour all the food into large basins, more and more people came into the yard.

Just happened to catch Jia Dongxu's funeral.

"Mom, I want to see Dad!"

Banggen suddenly said this.

Jia Zhang's heart tightened as she thought of that pair of lackeys.
