At that time, Xiao Hei couldn't see outside and could only raise his head to look at the sky from that patio. The only thing that accompanied him was the tablets hanging on the entire inner wall of the ancestral hall.
The huge Changping Village will have two hundred households in the future, including twenty or thirty households with various surnames.
For each surname, the tablets of the two oldest ancestors of the clan were chosen to be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
For families with big surnames such as Yang and Wang, or families that are not big surnames but have great descendants, you can choose to place the tablets of four ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Therefore, there are nearly a hundred tablets hanging on the innermost wall of this ancestral hall. They are dark red tablets with names written one by one in black calligraphy.
Some of them are old and their handwriting is blurry, so you can't tell who they are.
But as long as it is hung on the wall, each piece represents a deceased ancestor!
Yang Huazhong was worried that Xiao Hei would be scared, so he left a door open, at least the space was not completely closed.
After Yang Huazhong and Dabai left, a bunch of people were still left at the door of the ancestral hall to watch the excitement inside.
Since Yang Huazhong and Dabai couldn't get any answers, these people directly asked Xiao Hei inside.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, what bad thing did you do to anger your uncle and brother?"
"Yeah, why do they want to lock you up here?"
The little black quilt wrapped around his head was lying in the hay, too lazy to pay attention.
Those people threw stones inside, but Xiao Hei's sleeping place was closer to the inside, so the stones couldn't be thrown at all.
As long as it can't be hit, Xiao Hei can continue to sleep peacefully.
However, the boredom of these people was far beyond Xiao Hei's imagination. They had already begun to guess, "This black guy probably stole food from his third uncle's house!"
"No, it's probably because I peeked at some girl's wife taking a bath!"
"That can't be done, right? This black guy is going to die when he sees something to eat. He doesn't even know how to deal with women or anything like that!"
"Ha ha……"
"Hahaha……"
Xiao Hei dug out two pieces of cotton wool from his cotton-padded jacket, kneaded them into a ball and stuffed them into his ears.
Then he wrapped himself in a quilt and went to sleep. No matter what others guessed, for him, it was quite a piece of meat.
What he has to do now is to catch up on his sleep quickly, and his mother will bring delicious food to him at noon.
In the morning, Yang Ruoqing and her four children came to her parents' house to celebrate her birthday and have lunch and longevity noodles.
He's father and mother were very happy when they heard that today was Yang Ruoqing's thirty-second birthday.
Mother He immediately took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Yang Ruoqing.
"Just in time, come on, this is a little thought from me and your Uncle He, please accept it quickly."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Why are you so embarrassed?"
Mother He pressed Yang Ruoqing's hand hard: "Take it, take it, you must take it!"
In this case, Yang Ruoqing thanked her and accepted it happily.
Everyone consciously ignored the things that happened in the morning and pretended that they didn't happen.
However, just before dinner was about to start, Yang Huazhong came back from the backyard and told Mrs. Sun: "There is no need to call mother anymore. Mother is probably not in the mood to come over for dinner now. She is staying with Mei'er at Lao Wang's house!"
Sun sighed and didn't insist anymore.
If it were another occasion, perhaps Mrs. Sun herself would invite Mrs. Tan again.
But today is Qing'er's birthday, and Mr. Sun doesn't like those people who never come over at all times, and who still make trouble after they come over.
Rather than that, it’s okay not to come!
When the dining table of Yang Huazhong's family was filled with all kinds of sumptuous meals, Yang Huamei was sitting at the table in the hall of Lao Wang's family in the same village, completely lost in thought.
Wang Hongquan was sitting on a pony at the door of the hall, leaning on a cane, squinting in the sun and sighing while basking in the sun.
In the kitchen, Hongmei was busy cooking lunch. She was busy putting pots on and off.
Dabai couldn't help because he was standing next to Zhuangzhuang, and the couple were talking quietly.
Why don't you dare to speak loudly?
It's very simple, I'm afraid of disturbing Mrs. Tan in the main room.
"I didn't tell you behind your back. If someone else came to accompany your mother, maybe she could enlighten her." Hongmei was cooking while talking to Dabai in a low voice.
"If it were your grandma who came to enlighten me, I would be afraid that I would end up enlightening you in the gutter!"
In response, Dabai could only smile bitterly.
"My grandma's thoughts... often go to extremes. There are even some elements of fanning the flames, but we can't say, let them do whatever they want!" Dabai said.
Hongmei asked Dabai in a low voice: "What about the pink pearl necklace and gold bracelet? Do you want me to spit it out?"
Dabai shook his head without even thinking: "How is it possible? If you give it to us, it's ours."
"Don't worry, you, what I say today is so righteous that no one can find fault with it!"
Hongmei smiled and said, "That's good!"
In the hall, Tan's advice to Yang Huamei today exceeded Dabai and Hongmei's expectations.
Because Tan didn't fan the flames, Tan was wiser for the first time today.
"Meier, don't feel bad for Xiao Hei. If you really feel bad for him, you should think about him. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his life is very long."
"You have to let him take the right path. This time he stole his grandpa's money. If his third uncle dies of strangulation, he will be imprisoned in the ancestral hall."
"If he steals other people's money in the future, do you think others will just curse him casually and lock him up in an ancestral hall?"
"The people outside are not polite to you! Either you will be beaten to death or reported to the police. Who will you cry to? Who will you kneel to? You can't even cry to death and kneel to death!"
"You, if you listen to your mother, don't feel sorry for Xiao Hei this time, and let him learn a lesson!"
Yang Huamei didn't hear anything about Tan's previous words. It felt like she was still making sense of them!
But Yang Huamei didn't like hearing the last two sentences.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Xiao Hei has already been locked up in the ancestral hall. His face was bruised and swollen after being pecked by a goose. One of his arms was removed by Xiao Hei. Not only did he learn a lesson? He simply suffered a lot. What else do you want from him?"
Mrs. Tan snorted coldly, "I said so much, but you didn't even listen to it, so you think I said it all in vain!"
Yang Huamei felt even more aggrieved, "Why didn't I listen? I'm not deaf and I'm not bad, so why didn't I listen?"
Mrs. Tan also raised her voice: "If you really listened, you should know what to do next!"
"Of course I know." Yang Huamei said.
"Okay, tell me, how many meals do you plan to send to Xiao Hei today?" Tan asked face to face.
Yang Huamei: "I would like to give you two meals, but my third brother and my father both said that I am only allowed to give you one meal!"
"Okay, I'll give him a good meal to make sure he doesn't starve to death or thirst to death," said Tan.
Tan then asked Yang Huamei: "Then what dishes are you planning to bring to Xiao Hei at noon?"
Yang Huamei said without thinking: "It must be rich, even richer than before. He can only eat one meal, otherwise what else can he do?"
When Mr. Tan heard this, he shook his head, clapped his shoulders with both hands and shrugged: "How about it? I mean, you still didn't listen, right? You can give him a bigger portion for lunch today, but it must not be... He is being treated with big fish and meat, because he is now closed to the ancestral hall, so we are going to make him suffer, you have to understand this!"
"Otherwise, after a few days at the ancestral hall, he would still gain weight. You think this is ridiculous!"
