Chapter 144 Why can't I come?

The grocery store at the entrance of the village was run by Song Er, a talented man from Lishu Village. However, it is a grocery store, and there are very few things to sell. It is probably oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and some candy, paper and other things. Unlike later generations, daily necessities, there are all kinds of daily necessities.

A piece of paper money is not expensive, but it is seven copper coins.

In the surprised gaze of the daughter-in-law of the Song Er family, Liangchen paid the money and slowly went to the society to study with paper money.

Due to Master Wu’s death, the social school has suspended classes in the past two days and specially vacated the place for the Wu family to take care of the funeral.

Li Zheng and his fellow villagers were both in the Wu family, and Li was helping arrange the tables and other things, while the fellow villagers were busy filling out the funeral list.

Don’t underestimate the arrangement of seats and filling out the funeral list. These two things are the privileges of the locals and fellow villagers, and ordinary people cannot do it.

Just like in the later rural areas, when anyone in the countryside had to invite village cadres to have a meal.

This meal is the privilege of village cadres. Similarly, placing seats and filling out funeral lists are also the privilege of the elders in Lizheng.

After Liangchen arrived at the club, he saw many people inside and outside. Several male men from the Wu family were greeting guests outside the gate. Any important persons come over, such as uncles, cousins, etc., and the filial son Wu Dezheng had to come up, kowtow, and invite people in.

The most surnamed Wu in Lishu Village is. Master Wu is the husband of the village and his son is also the county licensor, so the scene is naturally very small.

"A good minister?"

Wu Dequan saw Wei Liangchen carrying paper money and called him. Liangchen hurriedly stepped forward and handed him the paper money, and then said to go in and kowtow to Master.

Since his uncle passed away, Wu Dequan has been busy and has been studying in society all the time. So he didn't know what happened to Wei Liangchen when he went to prison. He just thought that Liangchen had protected his father and elder brother back, so he came to kowtow to his master. So he didn't say anything and nodded and let Liangchen go in.

After Liangchen entered the society, he heard several women crying. He looked at Wu Dezheng's wife and several niece-in-laws.

Wu Dezheng's wife is the daughter of Lin Zhizhi in the county, named Lin Guifen. She was thirty years old and gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Wu Dezheng, and she looked a bit pretty.

I remember two or three years ago, when Liangchen was still in the social school class, he secretly saw Lin Guifen who went home for confinement. At that time, he only felt that he could marry this woman as a wife, which was a blessing for several lifetimes.

This is also a reverie in adolescence.

Lin Guifen and a few sisters-in-law were crying there, and it sounded true, but Liangchen always felt that it was not very real. After all, it was just a wife and niece-in-law, so how sad they could be.

Liangchen glanced around and didn't see Wu Xiuzhi. I think this little girl probably cried so hard that she was resting.

Before his second brother Wu Deyi came back, Wu Dezheng, the boss, rushed to go home in the morning and wore mourning clothes. The rules in the countryside are that filial sons do not have to work and do things, they just have to kowtow with the guests, and everything is done by uncles and brothers.

However, Wu De was the Liufang Book Office. Many of the guests who came to mourn Master Wu came for his identity as the Librarian. In addition, many colleagues from the county also came here, so Wu Dezheng had to receive and greet him in person.

In front of the spirit, the two sons who kowtowed with the guests were his two sons, thirteen-year-old Wu Qingquan and eleven-year-old Wu Qingling.

A large shed was built in the social college, and the suona team was playing and playing in the shed.

These people also have the ability to watch people play and beat.

Those with status or those accompanied by the Wu family themselves must be important relatives and friends, and they are naturally working hard.

When ordinary people come over, they go around the neighbors and so on. They look at each other and play with each other. If they are not interested, they just sit there and chat.

Liangchen dressed like a human being, but he was young and came alone again, so it was impossible for him to be an important "guest" for him.

Liangchen didn't care either. He went to the front of the spirit and looked at Master Wu who was sleeping on the high-legged bed with his eyes closed. He sighed for a moment, knelt on the straw mat on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Wu Qingquan accompanied him to knock, but Wu Qingling didn't move. This child was still young and didn't understand many things.

After kowtowing, Liangchen prepared to go home.

When he turned around, he saw Wu Xiuzhi being supported by several Wu women.

This little girl is so sad that she has red eyes, and she is wearing plain clothes, looking extremely haggard.

Wu Xiuzhi's mother left early, and Master Wu can be said to have pulled three children with shit and urine, which is very difficult, especially her younger daughter, who really regards her as a famous bead in her hand.

Now Master Wu is going like this, how can Wu Xiuzhi not be sad?

Before my elder brother came back, Wu Xiuzhi fainted twice, which really scared a bunch of aunts.

After recovering from his senses, Wu Xiuzhi had to burn some paper money for her father, but her aunts couldn't stop her, so she helped her out.

Wu Xiuzhi saw Wei Liangchen, but she had no expression. She walked straight to her two nephews and stacked paper money in a pot to cook.

Liangchen looked for a while, sighed and left. When he walked to the gate, he saw Wu De walking in with several people.

"Last time I had a tea with your father, and I agreed to handle the marriage between the two families by the end of the year, but I didn't know that your father just left like that."

The person who came was Mr. Pan Xuezhong's father, and Wu Xiuzhi was his wife who had not passed away. Mr. Pan had just returned from the mansion. As soon as he got home, he heard that Master Wu had passed away and hurried to Lishu Village to pay his respects.

"Xuezhong is in Beijing, so he must be unable to come back. I asked someone to bring him a letter, so I asked him to take a leave from the prison and rush back to Liuqi."

According to Mr. Pan’s opinion, it was like asking his son to come back when Master Wu was “Six and Seven”.

From the day the deceased died, a paper burning ceremony will be held every seven days, a total of 7 times, commonly known as "burning seven". Generally, it is "Three Seven", and "Six Seven" is more important. On the latter day, relatives and friends will send some paper and candles, and the bereaved family will hold a big banquet. After "Six Seven", the funeral will basically end. On the last seven, the family will burn some paper money, and the clothes worn by the deceased will be used.

"Study is important, and the provincial examination is imminent. You should not come back. It took a long time to delay many days and miss your studies. It would be unsatisfactory."

Wu Dezheng was talking to Mr. Pan, but he didn't notice Wei Liangchen standing in front of him, and suddenly bumped into him. When he saw that it was Wei Liangchen, Wu Dezheng was really surprised and stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?" Wu De was really surprised, because didn't Wei Liangchen ask the county master to be imprisoned?

"Why can't I come?" Liangchen said angrily. If it weren't for Master Wu's face, he wouldn't help but scold the other party.

"Nephew, who is he?"

Mr. Pan was a little surprised: Why did this young man, who is so ignorant of the rules and speak to the "filial son"?

"A student I taught during my father's lifetime."
