Chapter 18 Cohabitation
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the earth was emitting heat like a fire. Sprinkle a bowl of water and it dried up in a short while.
At this time, there was no ice in the countryside. Mr. Song's coffin was only two nights in the Song family yard and was buried in a hurry at dusk the next day.
The villagers who were attending the funeral dispersed, and only Tang Huan and his nephews were left in front of the grave.
Tang Huan knelt in front of the grave and drooped her head and she burst into tears. Song Mo was kneeling with her with her eyes heavy.
"Dad, mom, you go back first, I'll stay with Jinzhi." Dong Minghua kept staring at Tang Huan with heartache, and noticed that his parents were still here, so he quickly turned around and urged the two elders to go home. Jinzhi was so sad, I don't know how long he would stay here, he could just stay with him. He couldn't bother his parents, let alone the two elders were useless to stay.
The two children have been playing together since childhood. Jinzhi was grown up by Dong's mother. The little girl was gentle and sensible. She and her husband were very satisfied with this marriage. Now that Jinzhi has lost her father, she really feels sorry. After hearing his son's words, Dong's mother patted him on the shoulder with pleasure, walked to Tang Huan, and took the man into her arms and comforted him softly: "A person cannot be resurrected. Jinzhi should not be too sad. Please cry hard. We have to look forward. Look, you have your second uncle, Minghua, aunt and your uncle. I have always treated you as your biological daughter. Good girl, let's stop crying, okay?"
Except for the master, Tang Huan doesn't like to have physical contact with any woman.
She naturally left Dong's mother's arms, wiping her tears while whispering: "Don't worry, aunt, Jinzhi understands, just want to spend more time with my father. You have been following her for so long, go back and rest quickly."
Dong's mother's eyes turned red, and she couldn't bear to persuade her anymore, so she turned to Song Mo and said, "His second uncle, then I will leave first."
Song Mo nodded.
After the two left, Dong Minghua looked at Tang Huan, knelt behind her, hesitated for a moment, and said to Song Mo: "Second uncle, you haven't had your eyes closed for two days to rest. Why not go back first, Minghua will take good care of Jinzhi." Jinzhi has been keeping his spirits for the past two days, and the Song family has been coming and going, and he can't even comfort her. Now he can't help but crying so sadly, and his heart is almost broken. He did not harm his father-in-law, but his father-in-law died because of him. Because of this guilt, he felt even more pity for Jinzhi. Dong Minghua swore that from today on, he would cut off the relationship with his cousin that should not have. His cousin was just a cousin, and Jinzhi was the wife he really wanted to take care of for the rest of his life.
Tang Huan scolded Dong Minghua in his heart. Uncle Second, can he call him the second uncle? They have not gotten married yet! The relationship with Song Mo’s uncle and nephew is enough for her to have a headache. Who would have thought that she would have a childhood sweetheart? Is the master deliberately tortured her?
Fortunately, she has escaped the impact of "Jinzhi" on her body in the past two days, otherwise she might have really agreed now!
Without waiting for Song Mo to express something, Tang Huan first pulled his sleeve, "Second Uncle, don't leave!" Then he said to the man behind him, "Minghua, go back first, I just want to let my uncle accompany you now. Although we have an engagement, we should pay attention...you go."
Dong Minghua looked at her in surprise. Jinzhi, Jinzhi didn't want to be with him?
Tang Huan had no intention of looking at him silently, and looked up at Song Mo.
Song Mo originally agreed. His niece has always relied on Dong Minghua very much. Some things he said didn't work. If Dong Minghua advised her, it might work. Besides, the eldest brother just died, even if the two children get along for a while, others would not misunderstand anything.
But my niece spoke up and kept him away.
Song Mo turned around and advised Dong Minghua: "Then you go back first."
The elder said, no matter how reluctant Dong Minghua was, he would not force him to stay. He comforted Tang Huan and left reluctantly.
At the quiet grave, only uncle and nephew were left.
Tang Huan moved her knees to Song Mo, and threw herself into his arms crying, "Uncle Second, my father is gone, I am the only relative left. Uncle Second, I feel so uncomfortable..." The little hand pressed against the man's chest, and he touched the firm chest twice as if he was unintentionally. Well, it's not bad, although he is a little older, his body is still quite satisfactory.
Song Mo did not notice anything unusual. Although he never hugged her again when his niece grew up, and at most touched his head, this was the child he had watched as a grown-up. Now she cried and sought comfort from him. How could he have thoughts from other people because of this contact?
He hugged her shoulder and patted her gently, "Jinzhi doesn't cry, my second uncle will take good care of you. Don't be afraid, no one can bully you with my second uncle."
A man's arms are warm and sturdy, and feel at ease.
Tang Huan was so at ease that he refused to leave. He hugged his waist and back with both hands, buried his face in his chest, and whispered: "Uncle II, please move here and live with me. I dare not live alone at home, I am afraid." There are many opportunities to live under the same roof.
Song Mo had already considered this matter and agreed without hesitation, "Don't worry, my second uncle will be here tonight." She was a girl's house, and someone had just died at home, so of course she would be afraid.
Tang Huan smiled with satisfaction, closed his eyes and thought, this second uncle is really good.
"Jinzhi?"
The niece didn't speak for a long time. Song Mo was panicked and lowered her head, leaving her little face alone. Only then did he realize that the person was asleep, and there were still tears on his eyelashes, which was pitiful.
"Jinzhi, wake up, let's go back. It's almost dark, and the second uncle still wants to move things..." It's definitely not possible to keep kneeling here. She is so big, so he can't carry her back openly, so he has to call her.
Tang Huan rubbed his eyes and pretended to be confused: "Uncle Second, what did you say just now?"
Song Mo helped her stand up and repeated it while patting the dust on her knees.
Tang Huan didn't dare to make any small moves, and said obediently: "Okay, Jinzhi helps Uncle Second to move things."
The uncle and nephew returned to the village.
Tang Huan goes wherever Song Mo goes, and he never leaves him, and he refuses to stay in the Song family alone. Her appearance fell into Song Mo's eyes and became timid and scared, so he naturally would not force her to wait in the Song family. Fortunately, the two of them worked together, and they moved all Song Mo's things over three or four times.
After moving, it was dark.
Tang Huan wanted to cook, but Song Mo asked her to go back to the house, "Do you do it, you go to the house for a while, and the second uncle calls you when the meal is ready." He was so tired just now that he was reluctant to let his niece work hard.
Tang Huan refused, so he had to go in first. After a while, he walked out again. Seeing Song Mo sitting at the stove, staring at the flames in front of him, thinking about it. He didn't even notice that she came out, so he moved a small stool to sit next to him and asked him in a low voice, "Uncle II, what are you thinking?"
Song Mo came back to his senses and asked without answering, "Why are you out?"
Tang Huan lowered his head, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said for a while: "I'm staying alone in the house, afraid."
Song Mo understood, and was silent for a moment, and said tentatively: "Jinzhi, you are sixteen years old this year. If you keep mourning for three years, you will become an old girl. Uncle Second thought about it, we have the custom of getting married within a hundred days... Uncle Second knew that you were filial to your father, but this was related to your marriage with Minghua. If it was really delayed for three years, your father would be the first to be unhappy. What do you think? In two days, Uncle Second went to discuss with the Dong family?"
The niece has already reached the age of birth. He is a single man, and it is fine to take care of her for one month or two months. No matter how long it takes, it will be inconvenient. Dong Minghua is two years older than her niece. Last year, she urged her to get married as soon as she went to the robbery. She was originally scheduled to enter the house in September this year. Now that the niece really has to be mourned for three years, who knows if there will be any changes in the Dong family? Two children are quite suitable, and Song Mo does not want to delay her niece.
Tang Huan looked at Song Mo without saying anything.
Song Mo was confused by her, "Will you be willing or not, what do you think?"
"I don't want to!"
Tang Huan stood up in anger, and then cried: "I won't marry, I want to keep a filial piety for my father! The Dong family thinks whatever they want. If they can't wait, they might as well break off the engagement!"
Song Mo frowned and stood up, scolding her: "What nonsense!"
Tang Huan curled his lips and looked straight at him, "Uncle II, I'm not angry, I really want to break off the engagement. Do you know why? It's not because of filial piety, it's because Dong Minghua has long disliked me! He has no connection with Jiang Yuzhu, and he even thinks I really don't know anything! Uncle II, such a heartless man, I will never marry even if I die!"
She had already thought it through. If she wanted to capture Song Mo's heart, she had to first break the engagement with Dong Minghua. Even if she couldn't get out of the way in the short term, she had to first show her attitude that she would not marry Dong Minghua when she died. Otherwise, putting aside her niece, just the identity of someone else's fiancée could make Song Mo stay away from her and be cautious.
As for the relationship between Dong Minghua and Jiang Yuzhu, this is really not something Tang Huan made up.
Jiang Yuzhu moved to Baishui Village in February. During the period when Jinzhi and Dong Minghua met, Jiang Yuzhu always appeared by chance. He held Dong Minghua's arm intimately in front of Jinzhi and called her cousin sweetly. His eyes were full of provocations that only women knew. Not to mention Tang Huan, the village girl Jinzhi saw it and was secretly hurt for countless nights. In Tang Huan's opinion, if Dong Minghua really cares about Jinzhi, he shouldn't let Jiang Yuzhu meet him, especially in front of his fiancée. Don't use any cousin as an excuse. Jiang Yuzhu is only one year younger than Jinzhi, not a girl of five or six years old. Try to let her hug her good cousin in front of Dong's father and mother? Tang Huan made a bet that she would not dare to thicken Jiang Yuzhu a hundred face! It's just bullying Jinzhi honest!
Tang Huan admitted that she was a bad woman, but she looked down on people like Jiang Yuzhu.
The master told her since she was a child that it is okay to hook up with men, but not to touch men responsible for their wives. Tang Huan was still young and couldn't understand, so the master explained that there were really not many good men in this world. Although men who could be hooked up with them were not considered loyal, at least at present, they should not seduce them to become completely bad.
Dong Minghua is such a man who is honest and prone to making mistakes without temptation.
He did not make any mistakes. With his appearance, Tang Huan looked down on him. If he made a mistake, Tang Huan looked down on him.
