After dressing as a widow

"call--"

The knife-like cold wind mixed with fine snow made the windows rattle, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were like ghosts, almost breaking through the window.

Lin Zhen quickly stretched out his hand to block the oil lamp whose flames had been blown so long that it almost died, and went to the main room.

His "husband" Gu Da died after drinking alcohol, and the husband calculated that the second day of next month would be the best day for burial, so he put the coffin in the main room first, and the oil lamp and paper money can't be stopped every day, and relatives who come to mourn He and the villagers who helped him not only spent money like water, but also had red eyes.

Lin Zhen pushed open the aisle door connecting the wing room on the right and the main room, saw the small figure kneeling in front of the coffin, walked over and said, "I'll be guarding in the second half of the night, you go to bed and squint for a while, the day after tomorrow is the grand banquet, your There are many more things.”

It's ridiculous to say it, Lin Zhen is a small business in modern times, with a net profit of 70 to [-] yuan a year, although he is not rich, but he is living a carefree life.

Yesterday he drank a little too much at the bar, sat in the car waiting for the driver, and arrived here as soon as he opened his eyes.

After a day and even a night, he finally came back to it.

He is no longer a small boss, he is now the wife of Gu Da, the richest man in Datianzi Village.

And the timing of his arrival couldn't be said to be good or bad. Her husband, Gu Da, went to the town to drink and died, and his body was brought back by people from the same village.

The kid kneeling in front of the coffin was born to Gu Dahe's wife in front of him. He is seven years old and his name is Gu Shuanzi.

Gu Da is also a capable person. When he was young, his family was so poor that he couldn't even wear trousers. He was a bird and two eggs outside, and was laughed at by the villagers.The old woman still favors the younger son, but she chews up everything that stutters and feeds it to the younger son, and not even half of it falls on him.

So when Gu Da was 15 years old, he had a complete falling out with his mother, turned the house upside down, left the house, and lived alone under the cliff in the village.

I really had no choice but to wrap my clothes around my head and go to the town barefoot to work as a coolie. I don’t know how I caught the eyes of the big man. I taught him two books and sold things in the mountains. Gu Shuanzi, a village flower that can be counted in every village, gave birth to Gu Shuanzi.

But the life of that village girl was not good, Gu Shuanzi had a serious illness within two years, and two years later, Gu Dacai married the original owner of this body, Lin Zhen who had the same name and surname as himself.

Lin Zhen is also a small successful person in modern times, about the same age as Gu Da, and he can figure out a little bit about Gu Da's psychology.

Gu Da really has some affection for his original wife, and he is really kind to their only son, Gu Shuanzi.

He will marry Lin Zhen. Firstly, there is no one in the family to take care of the father and son; secondly, Lin Zhen is a brother who was kicked out by his ex-husband because of a light pregnancy mole. Threat; Sanlai Lin really looks good.

(?_?)

Lin Zhen still can't accept what kind of brother he is.

Obviously he's just a little too small, how can he sleep with a man and give birth to a baby!

It's fucking off the charts!

Fortunately, fortunately, his pregnancy mole has only one mark that can't be seen unless he looks carefully, and he won't be reminded of this terrible thing all the time.

Gu Shuanzi, who was only seven years old, didn't even look at him, and knelt on the ground to add paper money to the basin in front of the coffin.

Lin Zhen couldn't move and stopped shouting, turned around and went to the stove to heat up a bowl of rice with several dishes, and put it on the chair next to him: "Eat it when you're hungry, I still say the same thing, you are your father's only son , you are still busy with things on your body, and you will have the strength to work when you are full."

Then go to the small room behind the main room to count incense, candles, paper money, and linen that are necessary for funerals. On the day of the big banquet, Gu Shuanzi's mother's family will definitely come, even if they support Gu Shuanzi.

As for Gu Da's relatives, his parents, and those relatives, it might be no good if they came.

But there is a good saying, smile three-pointed when you meet people, don't care whether you want this face or not, the more you don't like the person, the more you should praise him highly.

And Lin Zhen also has his own plan, it is impossible for him to stay here, it is best to entrust Gu Shuanzi to his mother's relatives, then leave here to find a way to earn some money, and continue to live his carefree life Boss life.

He is used to being unrestrained, and he doesn't think he can take good care of a seven-year-old child and take care of a person's life.

The dim oil lamp cast a small halo of light, which was reflected from the small room at the back of the main room onto the wall on the side of the main room, and also illuminated the tail of the coffin.

Gu Shuanzi, who had been kneeling here since Gu Da's death, heard the sound of the stepfather turning things over, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the fried rice on the stool next to him.

Looking at the shadow on the wall, he picks up the bowl and digs it into his mouth. He is as fierce as a wolf cub, and whoever dares to rob him will fight desperately.

After counting the things, Lin Zhen reckoned that tomorrow he would ask someone to go to the town to bring some rolls of linen and buy some lamp oil and paper money, and walked out over the high threshold with the oil lamp in his hand.

Gu Shuanzi, who was devouring his meal, raised his oily face and tightly clutched the chopsticks in his hand.

Lin Zhenquan pretended not to see him, and walked past him.

Convinced that there was no sound behind him, Gu Shuanzi's small back suddenly loosened, with a mouth full of food that couldn't be stuffed in his mouth, and two lines of tears slid down his chapped black face.

He looked at Gu Da's coffin, beat his chest and swallowed the food, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and continued to burn paper money.

Thinking outside the main room that the lamp oil hadn't been filled yet, Lin Zhen, who was about to come in to fill it up, looked at Gu Shuanzi, who was still only seven years old, although he was stronger than other children of the same age, and felt a little depressed.

In the original body's memory, the biggest impression of this stepson is the three words, stumbling block.

Gu Da loves this son very much, and he carries it on his shoulders when he goes to the mountains, and he carries it like this and that when he goes to the town, let alone when he is at home, Shuanzi Shuanzi screams so affectionately that he hates him so much. Biting the quilt straight.

Yuanshen put eye drops on Gu Shuanzi many times in front of Gu Da, saying that he was very wild, chasing chickens and dogs every day, or fighting here and there, he couldn't sit still for a quarter of an hour.

And every time after saying these words, he would touch his stomach shyly and beg Gu Da, saying that if it was the two of us's children, he would be very good.

But Gu Da didn't care at all, and said that this is his seed, and he was like this when he was a child.

It can be said that Gu Da may not be a good husband here, but he must be a good father.

He hurt Gu Shuanzi as much as his eyeballs.

Looking at the big pitch-black coffin and Gu Shuanzi whose eyes were smeared red and who still couldn't wipe away his tears, Lin Zhen turned back to the room wisely.

Lamp oil can be added later.

Before dawn the next day, people from the village came to help.

According to the rules of the village, when there is a funeral, the whole village will come to help, and the host will be responsible for two meals and drinks, and the coffin can only be carried up the mountain on the day it is carried.

Otherwise, with a few people, digging the grave and carrying the coffin, it would be impossible to get it up.

Lin Zhengang leaned on the bedpost and squinted his eyes, and an aunt in her fifties pushed him on the shoulder: "Oh, I'm talking about the Gu family, how can you still sleep? The food and the meat are all delicious. Haven't made a fuss yet."

Lin Zhen rubbed his eyes: "I checked last night. There are still four buckets of sorghum and one and a half buckets of white rice. Today's noon and afternoon meals are fine."

"As for the dishes, just fry a plate of lettuce with shredded pork, a plate of cabbage, and pork offal, and a pot of cabbage tofu soup. Tomorrow's dishes will be sent to buy at noon, so it won't be a problem."

The aunt was hit all over by his crackling words: "You...haven't discussed cooking with us yet..."

"Auntie, it's the same amount whether we discuss it or not, and there are only these things in the kitchen."

While talking, Lin Zhen took out a notebook from under the pillow: "I have written down what I need to buy and make up. I will go to the kitchen with my aunt to talk, and then I will find someone to go to the town to buy things."

The aunt followed behind, looking at the small book bound with thread: "Are you still literate?"

Lin Zhen paused: "The guy from my family used to teach, everyone in the village knows that he was lucky, he got the favor of the townspeople, and he knew a few books."

"That's right, Gu Da is literate." The aunt looked at Lin Zhen and curled her lips.

No one in the village does not know that Gu Da is rich and willing to spend money, and everyone who walks up and down on weekdays calls him affectionately, and they look forward to dropping something from his fingers into their own hands.

As for Lin Zhen, everyone called him the Gu family on the surface, but in fact they often arranged him behind the scenes and spit on him.

Look at his slutty way of recruiting men, he can only marry Gu Da because of his good looks, otherwise he won't be able to lay a single egg, and he won't even give away the worn-out shoes that were given away by the man in front of him.

It was still early, but there were quite a few people who came, except for a few people pulling tables and benches, they all gathered in small groups in twos and threes.

When Lin Zhen came out of the room, many people's eyes fell on him.

Especially those men with crooked minds.

Lin Zhen is really good-looking, with a small melon-shaped face, long and curved eyebrows, a straight nose, and a little fleshy lips. Let alone the men in this village, even the men who often go to the town have never seen such a thing. logo.

Not to mention that he covers his head at home every day, his skin is white and moist, just looking at it makes people want to touch and pinch it to see if water can come out.

Lin Zhen walked through the crowd without looking sideways, and walked to the group of seven or eight middle-aged women who were preparing meals: "Ms. Zhang, Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Xu, I calculated last night, and today's lunch and afternoon meals are fine. Every dish and soup can be made.”

"As for tomorrow's vegetables and sorghum rice, I'll ask someone to buy them later, so I won't miss tomorrow's business."

The middle-aged women fell silent for a moment. Ever since Gu Da died, Lin Zhen hadn't cared about anything else. They were responsible for everything they ate and did. Lin Zhen only cared about the money, and they knew how much trickery there was.

Suddenly Lin Zhen figured it out so clearly, there were some things inside that they couldn't move.

The middle-aged woman named Luo Auntie had a downcast expression on her face: "Gu family, you have never done these things, and you don't know the wear and tear in it. If you want me to say it's better as before, we old bones If you are tired, get tired, and I will always do things properly for you."
