: One thousand and fifty-six missing urns
According to the etiquette, Shen Jiao had to pay tribute to Xu Guifu to show respect for the deceased. In fact, there is a special funeral home in Haishi, because most people in Haishi live in a relatively small place, and there is definitely not enough space for white affairs. Not lucky either.
Most people would choose to go to a funeral home. In a situation like the Xu family, it is natural to choose a funeral home. But looking at the current situation, the Xu family chose to do it at home.
"Why don't you go to the funeral home to take care of Uncle Xu's funeral? It's a spacious place and can save a lot of trouble." Shen Jiao couldn't help but ask.
The four brothers and sisters Xu Guanghui looked ashamed, and Aunt Xu wiped away her tears and said, "I don't want Guifu to leave in peace, but the funeral home will charge you two yuan for one night's stay. Where can I get it from my family? With so much money, it costs three yuan to buy a urn, all of which are robbers.”
Shen Jiao looked at Aunt Xu with a headache, and she wanted to save even the funeral expenses. This woman is really speechless. No wonder the old lady just said that the blind girl would marry into the Xu family. , No matter how good the three Xu Guanghui brothers are, it is not good for 10,000 people to have such a mother on the stall. Besides, these three brothers dare not disobey Aunt Xu at all. Who would dare to marry such a husband!
"I'll go and put incense sticks on Uncle Xu!"
Shen Jiao didn't want to talk any more nonsense, she said to Xu Xiaoli, Xu Xiaoli's face changed slightly, and she said sadly: "Thank you Sister Shen for your kindness, my father died so badly, Sister Shen should not go, so as not to bring bad luck to Yuanyuanzhuang strong."
Aunt Xu was about to scold her daughter when she suddenly thought of the important point, and also echoed, "Xiao Li is right, Jiaojiao, you know what you mean, Uncle Xu, so don't go to worship."
Shen Jiao was surprised to hear that, she came to deliver a white bag, as usual, she wanted to worship the deceased. What did Aunt Xu and her daughter mean by not letting her go?
"Since I'm here, I'd better say goodbye to Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu was kind to others before his death, so how could there be bad luck?" Shen Jiao said.
Xu Guanghui also didn't understand what medicines were sold in the gourd of his mother and sister, so why didn't the guests come to worship, he said, "Jiaojiao come with me, and I will take you to worship my father."
Shen Jiao nodded and walked forward behind Xu Guanghui, enduring the discomfort. She always felt that the front of Xu's house was full of yin and goose bumps on her arms. Aunt Xu and Xu Xiaoli's expressions changed greatly, she thought to herself. He grabbed Shen Jiao, but he was afraid of causing her suspicion.
Xu Xiaoli gritted her teeth, turned and ran towards the stairs, she had to settle the matter before Shen Jiao found out, otherwise she wouldn't dare to imagine what Shen Jiao would think. There are more failures, she has long said that this is inappropriate, but Mu's mother insists on going her own way, so that she is now trying to find a way to wipe her ass.
Shen Jiao followed Xu Guanghui into the room, rubbed her arms involuntarily, and looked around. This room was the room of Xu Guifu and his wife, and the furnishings were still the same, nothing changed.
only--
"Hey, where's my dad's urn? It's still there tomorrow morning."
After walking around the room, they didn't find the white urn. Xu Guanghui looked anxious and almost searched the room. Shen Jiao was speechless, and even the urn could be missing. This Xu family is really a matter Much!
"Brother, you made a mistake. Mom put the jar in this room in the morning." Xu Xiaoli shouted from the next door.
Shen Jiao followed Xu Guanghui to the next room again, the urn was placed on the table, Shen Jiao couldn't help admiring the eyebrows, the things the Xu family did, one by one, broke her lower limit, it was the ashes of the altar anyway, wasn't it? A flowerpot, how can it be placed so casually!
Xu Guanghui also frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you put Dad's ashes here?"
Aunt Xu said sharply, "I let it go. The sun is good here. Your dad likes to bask in the sun."
Shen Jiao's brows furrowed even tighter, basking in the sun? What a broken reason.
She didn't think much about it, she just wanted to finish the prayer quickly, she really didn't want to stay here for a minute, she turned her head and asked Xu Xiaoli for incense, but saw her panting and her face flushed, she couldn't help being very curious, it was obvious Just ran quickly.
Thinking of the abnormality of Xu Xiaoli's mother and goddess just now, and the inexplicable disappearance of the urn in the next room just now, obviously Xu Guanghui didn't know about it, Shen Jiao had a bad association in her heart, and she quietly put incense to Xu Guifu, and bowed three times.
She secretly observed the expressions of Aunt Xu and Xu Xiaoli, but seeing that Aunt Xu and her daughter were clearly relieved, Shen Jiao was suspicious and said, "Who lives in that room of my house now?"
Aunt Xu and her daughter were stunned for a while, but did not answer for a while, Xu Guanghui replied, "Little Li lives here."
Xu Xiaoli didn't know what Shen Jiao meant by asking, so she said carefully, "Sister Shen, don't worry, I cleaned the room very well."
Shen Jiao smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Li is naturally relieved to live with me, I just remembered that when my grandfather and I left in a hurry, I left a set of dolls on the top of the cabinet and wanted to see it. See if the doll is still there?"
Xu Xiaoli hurriedly said, "It should be gone I just cleaned up, and I didn't find any dolls."
"That's not necessarily true. I hid it very carefully. You won't be able to find it, Xiaoli. Let me have a look. If the mouse doesn't eat it, I'll take it back to Cuicui to play with."
As Shen Jiao spoke, she walked to the pavilion where she lived before, Xu Xiaoli was so anxious, she ran in a hurry just now and didn't wipe her tail clean, Shen Jiao would definitely find clues when she entered.
In a hurry, Aunt Xu rushed forward and grabbed Shen Jiao's hand, dragged her back several steps, her hand was also tight, Shen Jiaozhen frowned, and said without hesitation, "Aunt Xu, you What is this for?"
The strange behavior of the mother and daughter made Shen Jiao more suspicious, and her determination to check the house became stronger. Xu Xiaoli smiled apologetically, "Sister Shen, my mother is too sad and a little confused, don't take it off."
Shen Jiao rubbed her sore arm that was scratched by Aunt Xu, and said displeased, "I can understand that Auntie is sad. Please forgive me. After all, the deceased has passed away, and the living still have to live."
"Sister Shen said that I will try to persuade Mu's mother."
Xu Xiaoli smiled apologetically, but her heart was suffering like an ant on a hot pan. What should I do? If Shen Jiao found out what her mother had done, would she be angry?
Xu Guanghui also finds it strange, he is not stupid, Aunt Xu's mother and daughter's behavior is obviously tricky, he knows his own mother better than Shen Jiao, and he glances at the urn on the table, and thinks of something. There was a possibility, his complexion changed greatly, and he quickly followed.
Shen Jiao had already walked to the door of the room, the door was not closed, it was hidden, and it was opened with a slight push. The room was indeed as neat and clean as Xu Xiaoli said, full of a warm girlish atmosphere.
