Li Baolu looked at Fu Dalang in a daze. In her limited memory, her mother was cheerful and generous, virtuous and kind, and also very capable.

Even if she is a fool, she always teases her with a smile every day, and persistently teaches her to speak and walk.

She has no memory of being in a coma, but every time she wakes up, she sees her smiling face. She never knew that she had such an experience.

Fu Dalang looked at her nervously, clenched his fist and said, "I know I'm your enemy..."

"How could you be my enemy?" Li Baolu said in a daze, "You are my relative."

Fu Dalang opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer this sentence.

Li Baolu had already turned around and said, "When the water is ready, make tea. My proposal remains unchanged. If you want, you can come with me."

When Li Baolu walked up to Gu Jingyun, several old people who had already lowered their voices were saying: "...Fu Xingnian still secretly released his sister because of his brotherly love, and sent her to the fifth village beyond her parents, and settled in Li's house. I don’t know what to do with my marriage, otherwise I don’t know what to do. Although I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking outside, but in that kind of place, life is worse than death, and how much better than sin village? It’s a pity that their siblings are all unlucky, and they all died at a young age In the sea."

The sunlight in front of them was suddenly blocked, they looked up, stood up immediately and smiled and said, "This is Xiuniang's daughter, she looks really beautiful, just like your mother."

Li Baolu nodded slightly to them, she didn't like them, this came from a kind of intuition, and she has always believed in intuition.

So she turned her head and said to Gu Jingyun: "It's getting late, let's go in and see my cousin before going back."

The onlookers silently looked up at the big sun hanging in the sky...

Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Everyone: ... This is the ability to open your eyes and tell nonsense.

Zhang Yiyan immediately approached the crowd cleverly and said, "According to what you say, Uncle Fu and Mrs. Fu have a good relationship with each other? I heard that they can do a good job."

While talking, he calmly pulled people away. The old people were very reluctant to go out, and the people watching outside the fence were even more reluctant to leave. They also wanted to see what good things this girl from the Li family would leave for Fu Dalang.

But it was Zhang Yiyan who pulled them, and the linen at home had to be sold to him, and no one dared to offend the God of Wealth, so everyone could only reluctantly leave, turning around every step of the way.

The dilapidated courtyard of the Fu family fell silent. Fu Dalang came out with two bowls of water and sprinkled a handful of green leaves in them.

Li Baolu stared at the leaf, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like tea leaves, but rather like leaves.

Fu Dalang's face turned red again, and he said, "This is the young leaf of the bitter tree, which can cool and detoxify..."

He doesn't have tea leaves, so he can only go to the back of the house and grab a handful of bitter leaves. Anyway, he often eats this in summer. If he is hungry, he can make steamed buns to fill his stomach, although it is a bit bitter... …

Li Baolu watched silently for a while, and finally picked up the bowl and took a sip. The bitter taste instantly swept over the taste buds on the tip of her tongue. She silently swallowed the bitter water, put down the bowl without changing expression, and said, "Have you thought about it yet?"

Fu Dalang nodded, scratching his palms nervously and said: "I, I want to come to Qiongzhou. In fact, don't look at me as thin, I have a lot of strength, and although I don't know how to fish, I am good at farming. Our family The yield per mu of the land in recent years has been higher than that of other families.”

Hearing this, Li Baolu thought about his whereabouts and asked, "Then do you want to go back to your hometown or change places?"

"Our branch has been out for four generations, and it's useless to go back. I'll go wherever you tell me to go."

"Then we won't go back. You can go back to the capital with me first, and I will make arrangements for you then." Li Baolu asked silently, "Do you want to move the graves of your ancestors back too? And your mother, if you want Don't take her back?"

Although Aunt Fu remarried, she still married in Sin Village. If Fu Dalang was willing to accept her again, she could move out of Sin Village with him.

Fu Dalang shook his head, "No, she passed away five years ago, and she has no children. But I will move her out together."

He was already sensible when his mother left. At that time, he followed her and chased her, and she drove him home over and over again. No matter how much she begged her, she was unwilling to leave him. He resented her for the first two years, because life was so difficult. It was too difficult, if the chief hadn't secretly reduced his taxes, he would have become a pile of bones.

But later he grew up and knew more, so he didn't hate her so much. If she hadn't left then, she wouldn't have lived long with him.

Because the county magistrate was heavily taxed at that time, and he had a mother, the village head would not pay attention to them, let alone reduce or exempt taxes. The annual harvest of the mother and son may not even be able to pay taxes, let alone eat.

The tree moved the dead and the living moved, and when her mother left, she lived; leaving him alone, the village head also noticed that he was an orphan, so he also lived under more care.

"Our family chose the good day of the third year of junior high school to raise the grave. When do you want to choose?"

"I don't need to choose, just the second year of junior high school," Fu Dalang said with a slightly red face, "But me, I can't afford a bone altar."

"And me," Li Baolu handed him a purse, and said, "Today is already thirty, you only have one and a half days to prepare, I still have a carriage at my place, I will let Nanfeng drive it for you later, Let him take you there if you want to buy anything, and you can ask Zhang Yiyan if you don’t understand. You have to discuss it with your aunt too, right?”

Fu Dalang silently took the purse and nodded.

He didn't value the so-called good life, and Li Baolu didn't care about it anymore, so he turned around and told Nan Feng, "Come here to meet Uncle Biao."

Nan Feng immediately knelt on the ground, "Uncle Biao!"

Fu Dalang was startled, and quickly jumped away, "Don't, don't do this."

When he went out to meet Zhang Yiyan, he remembered what he had been neglecting all this time, "Cousin, how do you know Zhang Yiyan?"

The villagers in the third village also listened with pricked ears. Li Baolu smiled and said, "Of course I know Zhang Yiyan. We grew up together. I still have a share of the business he is doing now."

How can this be?

Who doesn't know that Zhang Yiyan's business is a partnership between him and Mr. Gu? And that Mr. Gu is a good citizen, and it is said that he won the first prize in the examination, and rehabilitated his uncle...

Everyone froze at this thought, and stared at Gu Jingyun with wide eyes. Could this be that Mr. Gu?

Li Baolu was satisfied when she saw this, she was finally not worried that Fu Dalang would be torn to pieces after they left.

It is common for people in Sin Village to bully the weak and fear the strong, and it is normal for them to fight fiercely. Although the eyes of those people are restrained enough, but she sees all the contempt, malice and covetousness towards Fu Dalang. It is not difficult to imagine what he has been through before. what a day.

Unless people are brought to the five villages, there will only be deterrence.

So Li Baolu could only use Gu Jingyun's identity. She smiled at Gu Jingyun, followed him into the carriage, and looked at the people who had calmed down a lot outside and said, "I didn't expect you to be better than the chief in Sin Village now." .”

Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "It will be better in the future."

"Master, madam, won't Master Zhang come with us?"

Gu Jingyun glanced at Zhang Yiyan who was surrounded in the middle, then at Fu Dalang standing alone at the door of the thatched cottage, and said, "Don't wait for him, he's staying at Fu's house tonight."

The voice was neither high nor low, just enough for Zhang Yiyan, who was waiting outside the car to get in the car, to hear him. Zhang Yiyan froze, and could only stretch out his hand to say goodbye to them bitterly, "Young master and wife, go slowly. I'll see you on the second day of junior high school."

Li Baolu pursed her lips and waved to him, "Brother Zhang, don't cry, I'll ask Nanfeng to help you in a while."

Nanfeng drove away in his car.

Zhang Yiyan watched them leave with eyes full of reluctance, and he didn't forget to deal with the people next to him who pulled him, "Yes, that is Mr. Gu, the owner of our Yipinfang, oh, you ask Mrs. Gu? She is the child bride, not married ..."

With Nanfeng's carriage and Zhang Yiyan's contacts, although Fu Dalang was timid and a little stupid, he still bought all the things needed for the grave within a day. Livestock offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Before digging up the grave, he had to sacrifice to his ancestors. This was the best sacrifice he had prepared since he was sensible. When he was a child, he didn't know that he had to sacrifice to his ancestors. Later, he learned that everyone did sacrifices during Chinese New Year and Qingming, but what he could give The best things are just sea fish and various seafood picked up on the beach.

This is the first time he prepared chicken and pork for his ancestors.

When he prepared the sacrifices, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun also arrived. Of course, they were only relatives who came to watch the ceremony, but Fu Dalang completed the required ceremony himself.

Excluding Aunt Fu, there are five graves in the Fu family. After the sacrifice, the villagers who came to help dug up the graves with shovels.

Everyone covered the tomb with an oilcloth to block the sun, while Fu Dalang went in to pick up the bones of the ancestors, wiped them clean with a cloth, and handed them over to the invited old man, who put them in the bone altar...

After digging up the five graves and putting the five bones into the bone altar, it was already afternoon, but Fu Dalang didn't dare to be negligent. After taking the bone altar home, he hurried to the Seventh Village of Zuin Village to dig up his mother's grave.

It was already dark when their family was reunited at Fu's house, and Li Baolu had asked someone to buy ingredients for cooking, and gave half a tael of silver to everyone who came to help today.

Everyone was happy and became kinder to Fu Dalang.

The third day of junior high school is a good day for the Li family to set up the grave. Li Jun has already made preparations early, and all the matters are taken over by Li's servants, without using the people in the village, on the contrary, the speed is faster.

Moreover, among the four graves, only Wan's remains were found, and the rest were clothes tombs. Although the ceremony would be more complicated, the speed was still very fast.

Li Baolu and Li Jun, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, knelt under the oilcloth to wipe Wan's bones, and they put them in the bone altar by themselves.

No one dared to say a word of objection to Li Baolu, a woman who did what a man did.

When the tombs of Li Kang and Fu were opened, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun even dug up the tombs by themselves. The clothes and crowns inside had been painted with mud and fragments. They could only pick them up bit by bit and put them into the bone altar. Filled most of the soil in the grave...

After the grandfather's bone altar was also filled with soil, everyone carried the bone altar to the seaside. They wanted to summon their souls again. Li Baolu didn't know if it would be useful. Maybe they had already been reincarnated, but this was a ceremony.

After summoning the soul, one had to recite the mantra of rebirth, and the etiquette was more complicated than that of the previous burial. Under the scorching sun, Gu Jingyun, Li Baolu and Li Jun knelt side by side on the hot sand, looking resolutely at the golden sea illuminated by the sun.
