Wanghai County, Changping Village.
Back in Changping Village, Yang Ruoqing went home to spend time with her children. On this trip to the county town, she didn't see her children again for two days.
Now that Baby Luo has grown up, this is not a big deal, and he is used to the busyness of his parents.
But the two younger ones didn't understand yet, so Yang Ruoqing had to go and stay with the children to calm their emotions.
Luo Fengtang went to Yang Huazhong next door to explain to Yang Huazhong and Daan what happened to the county and his party.
Mainly... Yang Yongxian was beheaded.
Yang Ruoqing didn't want to go past that atmosphere because she could imagine it.
After Luo Fengtang finished explaining the matter, he also returned to the Luo family.
"Da'an and I went out together. I went to the left and he went to the right."
When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she immediately understood.
Dad should ask Da'an to go to the old house in the village to invite grandma and others to come to the house and tell everyone about this.
"I won't go to my parents' house for the next half day." Yang Ruoqing said.
She didn't want to see this scene.
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month was a day of joy for other families in Changping Village. When the sun turned west, firecrackers went off in almost every household in the village.
Today, receiving ancestors means bringing ancestors home to celebrate the New Year.
But the villagers of the He clan in the village will not set off firecrackers to honor their ancestors today. They will have to wait until tomorrow.
why?
Because it is said that the ancestor of the He family was lame and walked two beats slower than other ancestors.
The time for Lao Yang's family to set off firecrackers was one or two hours later than other families in the village, and also compared to previous years.
When it was completely dark, several rooms started setting off firecrackers one after another.
The sound spread to the village, to the Luo family next door, and to the Sun family across the road. Everyone knew it.
Because Yang Yongxian of the old Yang family was beheaded in the county today!
Although Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong had publicly announced that Yang Yongxian had been removed from the family genealogy, the removal was always just a formality.
In everyone's perception, Yang Yongxian was born as a member of the Old Yang family, and died as a ghost of the Old Yang family. This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.
Normally, Yang Yongxian's beheading would have caused an uproar in the village.
But because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is looking for good luck, so even the women in the village who like to talk about it are reluctant not to mention it at home.
Because as soon as I opened my mouth to talk about this at home, I was immediately warned by my mother-in-law and men with supercilious comments and harsh words.
They finally managed to hold back and go outside to wash themselves. When they met other women from the same village, they all pointed in the direction of the old Yang family's old house at the east end of the village in a very subtle way.
No matter how things are in the village, the houses in Lao Yang's house have been living very peacefully these past few days.
Of course, this calmness must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
According to what Ms. Liu revealed to Yang Ruoqing when she secretly visited the Luo family, ever since she learned the news that Yang Yongxian had been executed in advance, in the east room opposite the west room, the suppressed cries of the old lady Tan could be heard every night in the middle of the night. The sigh of the old man and Yangtou.
The room in the front yard where Yang Yongxian lived before had been locked since Liao Meiying and Zhen'er remarried to the Zhang family, and no one had entered it.
Since Yang Yongxian died, the old man has spent most of every day in Yang Yongxian's house.
"The room was full of dust and cobwebs, and the mice had chewed through the bed boards. I don't know what your father was doing in that room!"
Liu was puzzled by Lao Yangtou's behavior.
Yang Ruoqing's face was as dark as water, and she said: "Leave aside the wrong things that my cousin did, from my father's point of view, it will always be my eldest grandson who has loved me since childhood and died!"
"There are so many grandchildren, and their feelings for my eldest cousin are unique."
"The memories of my eldest cousin from childhood to adulthood are definitely far more than those of our grandchildren."
"So, let him go to that house to reminisce!"
After all, it is impossible for Yang Ruoqing to regret Yang Yongxian's death penalty because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man to his death. This is a matter of principle.
However, it is true that I feel sorry for the old man and the old lady.
But what can be done?
What hurt and hit the old couple was not this law, but their most beloved eldest grandson!
It can only be said that the old couple are unlucky. In this life, they have experienced too many things like white-haired people giving black-haired people to others, so that at such an advanced age as seventy or eighty years old, they have to go through it again!
"I don't sympathize with your grandparents, but I sympathize with your aunt!" Ms. Liu continued.
"What's wrong with my aunt? Didn't everyone in the family make an appointment to keep her in the dark?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Ms. Liu said, "I'm hiding it, but I don't know what's going on. It's like your aunt had a premonition and she found out."
"In the past few days, I have been crying every day and lighting a lantern for your cousin at the Kitchen God's place every night!"
"Your little cousin found out about this. He was so angry that he scolded her and refused to allow her to do those things in their fourth room. This forced your aunt to secretly hide in the abandoned room in the front yard and order those things. Oh, son No matter how bad you are, it’s still the flesh that fell off your mother’s body, and it’s your aunt who’s in pain…”
Even Mrs. Liu, who likes to watch the excitement, can't bear to eat Mr. Jin's melon this time.
The two sighed for a while and then dispersed.
The main reason for leaving was because Mrs. Liu was thinking about going home for dinner.
It's the Chinese New Year. Not only are Kang Xiaozi and Liu Jinchuan paying their respects here, Tiedan School is on holiday, but they are also helping their father and brother work at home.
The eldest daughter He'er and her daughter also returned home.
The men's work is done by their father, son and brothers, and the women's work is done by Liu Jinchuan and He'er's sister-in-law.
The only people left idle at home were Mrs. Liu and her granddaughter Yang Chunxia.
Yang Chunxia's madness has been significantly controlled after several courses of treatment.
She no longer runs out every day, and sometimes she can do some housework with her mother and aunt Liu Jinchuan, which is very fulfilling.
So the only real idler left was the Liu family.
Liu enjoyed it.
In her own words, this is a good thing she has been looking forward to her whole life. She has been looking forward to this day since the day she became sensible.
Of course, although she enjoys the happy life now, she cannot express too much happiness on her face.
As for the reason, everyone knows it.
The atmosphere in Lao Yang's house is now a bit depressing and dull.
Mrs. Liu dares to dance and enjoy life. It is estimated that the old lady Tan will personally send Mrs. Liu to spend the New Year with Yang Yongxian!
On the other side, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang came to the old Zhang's house together and handed a tooth wrapped in red cloth into Liao Meiying's hands in front of Zhang Youfu.
