I really don't want to be a teacher

At the edge of the courtyard, Lian Ge stopped again after lunch, and the old man was also standing beside Lian Ge.

In the courtyard, the leftovers on the dining table have been cleaned up, and the opened dining table has been put back together again.

The men of the main family kneel in front of the spirit in the hall, while the rest of the descendants kneel in front of the door of the hall.

The old gentleman standing in front of the main room held a microphone and recited the scriptures. The rapid pace of speech made the scriptures chanting sound a little vague.

Whenever the old man finished reading a passage of scriptures, the men in the main room would burn a pile of paper money in front of the spirit.

"...filial son and filial grandson, kowtow..."

……

Hearing the sound of scriptures, the villagers who came to have the funeral banquet began to leave one after another, and the number of people gathered around the courtyard gradually decreased.

And at this moment, a figure in plain clothes stepped into the yard,

When he walked to the edge of the courtyard, a complex expression appeared on his face, and he hesitated a bit,

The villagers who hadn't left yet also looked at him.

Beside the courtyard, Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at the person coming.

The person who came was the head of the family at the entrance of the village who was holding the wedding, and the elder brother of the head of the family who was doing the funeral, Chen Maoren.

After stopping by the courtyard for a while, Chen Maoren stepped into the courtyard and walked to the main room.

All the old ladies and juniors kneeling in front of the hall couldn't help but glance at him with different expressions.

The old gentleman who was reciting the scriptures looked at Chen Maoren, paused for a moment, didn't say much, took a filial cloth with a white cloth talisman from the side, and handed it to Chen Maoren.

Chen Maoren was silent, took the filial cloth, wrapped Kun Dai, put on filial piety, and knelt down directly,

"...and make oaths: one is to save the boat and reach the other shore; the other is to protect the merchants and make them happy; the third is to drive away evil spirits and be eliminated forever..."

Seeing this, the old man withdrew his gaze and continued to chant scriptures in all directions.

……

After taking a look, Lian Ge looked back, and the old man next to him also looked back, sighed slightly, shook his head,

"It's really..." As he spoke, the old man stopped his words again, did not continue, turned around, looked at Lian Ge,

"Sir, the funeral has started again here...how about going to the old man's house?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge slightly shook his head,

"Thank you, old man, I won't go, I will stand here again."

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said nothing.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the front of the main room again, quietly watching the kneeling old lady and junior.

……

Time goes by.

Finally, the old man's chanting came to an end, another funeral ceremony ended, and all the descendants who were kneeling on the ground also stood up again, moving their legs and feet, and rested briefly.

After taking a look, Lian Ge moved away again and walked towards the main room.

"...Thank you, big sister, for your hospitality. I wonder if I can offer my condolences to the old lady?"

Walking up to the woman in the master's house, Lian Ge said.

"Sir, you are polite." The woman nodded, then turned around and looked into the mourning hall, "If you want to express your condolences, please come with me, sir..."

While speaking, the middle-aged woman walked into the mourning hall with Lian Ge.

……

In the mourning hall, the two brothers Chen Maoren and Chen Deyi are there at the moment,

Standing in front of the body, Chen Maoren looked at the body covered with white cloth, with complicated emotions, guilt and remorse.

Chen Deyi stood a little distance away from his brother, looked at him, and said nothing.

Seeing his wife walking in with Lian Ge, he turned his eyes slightly suspiciously,

"...This gentleman wants to come to condolences to my mother." The middle-aged woman explained briefly,

Hearing this, Chen Deyi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Sir..." The middle-aged woman turned around and looked at Lian Ge,

Lian Ge nodded, took two steps forward, looked at the body covered by the white cloth, paused slightly, and said softly,

"Old lady, although I have never met you, but after all, I ate your meal, thank you..."

While talking, Lian Ge glanced at the three incense sticks handed over by the middle-aged woman, and instead of taking them with his hands, he smiled,

Immediately afterwards, Lian Ge took two steps forward and walked directly to the side of the head of the old lady's body.

Before the other three people in the room could react, Lian Ge stretched out his hand and lifted off the white cloth covering the body.

"...I don't like to owe favors either, so I'll give you back a meal."

"Old lady, it's time to get up, otherwise I won't be able to eat this meal..."

While speaking, Singer Lian waved lightly, and slapped the old lady on the forehead lightly.

"what are you doing……"

The two Chen Deyi brothers reacted and shouted angrily, and they were about to rush over to pull Lian Ge, but before they could take a step, they couldn't help their voices getting quieter, and stopped their movements.

I saw that on the bed board where the body was placed, the old lady who had been dead for a long time sat up slowly.

Chapter 187 A Meal

"mom……"

The two brothers, Chen Deyi and Chen Maoren, couldn't help but pause. Looking at their mother who was sitting up, they were a little terrified at first, and then couldn't help calling out.

And outside the main room, a group of juniors who heard the commotion in the mourning hall, also wearing filial piety, rushed in one after another,

"What's wrong……"

The first junior to step into the mourning hall couldn't help but pause before his words settled down. Looking at the old lady Chen who should have died for a long time, but sat up, she was taken aback for a moment, and then became terrified.

"The corpse has been lifted... the old lady has recovered the corpse."

There was an uproar both inside and outside the mourning hall. The nephews and nephews in mourning cloth, and the villagers gathered around the courtyard all surrounded them.

"What nonsense!"

The old man who had talked to Lian Ge before walked into the mourning hall, looked at the old lady sitting up, then at Lian Ge next to the old lady, turned around and reprimanded a shouting villager,

"Hurry up and help the old lady down..."

The old man said something to the old lady's descendants again.

Hearing the sound, a group of people who were either terrified or stunned also came back to their senses, and hurried up to a few people.

The two brothers Chen Deyi and Chen Maoren who were standing in front of the coffin also reacted,

Chen Deyi seemed a little excited, staggered, walked up to his mother, and wanted to help his mother down.

And Chen Maoren moved his feet first, but then stopped his feet, stood where he was, and looked at his mother with complicated eyes, guilt mixed with excitement, and a little nervous.

"Mom, I'll help you down..." Chen Deyi stood beside the old lady excitedly and said aloud.

The old lady sitting on the bed turned her neck a little stiffly, and after glancing at the people gathered inside and outside the mourning hall, her gaze paused slightly on her eldest son Chen Maoren.

Facing his mother's gaze, Chen Maoren lowered his head.

……

Looking at her eldest son, Chen Maoren, after a pause, the old lady turned her head to look at her younger son, Chen Deyi, without saying anything.

Looking at Chen Deyi, the old lady smiled, then shook her head, rejecting Chen Deyi's help.

A little stiff, moving her legs slowly, clutching the sheets with both hands, lying on her side, the old lady slowly climbed off the bed with some difficulty.

Several times Chen Deyi wanted to help, but the old lady moved her hand away and shook her head.

Finally, moving her stiff body, the old lady stood on the ground beside the bed with some difficulty.

Turning her head, the old lady looked at Lian Ge with gratitude in her eyes,

Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge smiled and nodded, then moved closer and whispered:

"...Old lady, you still have an hour."

"Thank... thank you." The old lady opened her mouth gratefully, and spit out two vague words from her throat with some difficulty.

Smiling, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, said nothing, and stepped back a few steps to the side of the main room.

……

"... Deyi." The old lady turned her head with some difficulty and looked at her youngest son.

"I'm here, mom, I'm here..." Chen Deyi responded excitedly,

"Go... prepare something to eat, and have a meal with mom..." Gradually speaking, the old lady's voice was still weak, but gradually became smoother.

"Okay, I'll let Xiaqin do the preparations... I'll help you sit in the yard and rest for a while." Chen Deyi quickly responded,

Hearing this, the old lady shook her head, and without Chen Deyi's help, she moved her stiff feet and moved towards the outside of the courtyard step by step.

Seeing that the old lady insisted, Chen Deyi didn't force her anymore, but just followed her step by step, watching carefully.

Inside and outside the main room, the surrounding people also hurriedly moved away, and opened the blocked main room door again.

Only Chen Maoren was still standing there, with his head slightly lowered.

"Maoren..." Slowly moved, walked to Chen Maoren's side, the old lady stopped, did not turn her head, just called out softly,

"Hey...Mom..." Chen Maoren turned around quickly, answered with a choked voice, his eyes suddenly turned red,

The old lady didn't turn her head when she heard the words, and didn't speak any more. She moved her stiff steps again and walked slowly towards the outside of the main room.

Seeing this, Chen Maoren hurriedly followed, just like his younger brother, closely following the old lady

Chen Deyi glanced at Chen Maoren, looked away, and said nothing.

……

As the old lady gradually moved her steps, her stiff steps gradually became more flexible, approaching a faltering old man.

When the old lady stepped out of the main room and stopped again by the yard, some neighbors heard the news and rushed over one after another, and more and more people gathered around the yard.

"Mom, sit down."

After his mother stopped in the courtyard again, Chen Maoren quickly took a chair from the courtyard and put it behind his mother.

The old lady heard the sound, glanced at Chen Maoren, paused, did not speak, and did not sit down.

Chen Maoren looked at his mother with red eyes, and said again:

"Mom, sit down..."

Looking at Chen Maoren, the old lady still didn't speak, but she sat down slowly with both hands on the seat.

On the side, Chen Deyi saw this, walked up, bowed down beside the seat, and asked the old lady aloud:

"Mom, what do you want to eat? I'll let Xiaqin and the cook do it."

Hearing this, the old lady turned her head slowly, looked at Chen Deyi and replied with a smile:

"Tofu mixed with preserved eggs..."

While talking, the old lady turned her head and looked at Chen Maoren again,

"Chicken jumping..."

"Governor's tofu...fry some potato shreds."

Listening to the old lady's voice, Chen Deyi and Chen Maoren were a little silent,

These dishes are the dishes that the two brothers like to eat,

"...Okay, Mom. The cook is right here, so I'll let him do it." Squeezing out a smile, Chen Deyi responded, then turned and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing Chen Deyi walking away, the old lady turned her head and looked at Chen Maoren with complicated eyes in front of her again.
