My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Gu Shaoyu nodded and said nothing more.

Silently looking at the falling snow outside, and falling into a deep mood again, Du Jingyi just stayed with her quietly.

Until the appearance of Brother Tai broke the deadlock.

Father, mother.

They are obviously a small group of people, but they seem to be getting bigger day by day.

Since winter hit, his clothes have also been changed into new ones. Because of his status, most of the patterns in the middle of his clothes are embroidered with unicorns, which makes people feel majestic.

Today, on the other hand, he was wearing something embroidered with vase gourds and acacia flowers, which seemed more in line with his age.

He is now almost three years old, and his speech has become much smoother. Now he can not only understand what adults mean, but also understand what he wants to express. He suddenly feels like he has grown up from a child. So when Du Jingyi saw him, he pulled him to sit next to him affectionately, and then asked him.

Why don't you take a nap?

My son is not sleepy.

Brother Tai obediently looked at his father who was still silent. Then he took out a carefully wrapped item from his arms and handed it over, saying with a sweet smile.

Sugar cake, father eats it.

Sugar cake is a kind of snack in Jinling City. Ever since Tai Geer ate it once on the street, he often clamored to eat it, so Danruo took the initiative to learn how to make it, so when Tai Geer wanted to eat it, You can eat it.

But for the sake of his teeth, there is a limit on what he can eat.

So today, Brother Tai specially saved this piece for his father. Gu Shaoyu knew his thoughts and touched Brother Tai's head, feeling quite pleased.

It's cold these days, so I won't take you brothers outside to do anything. Tomorrow, I'll start practicing squatting in my room for half a moment every day. Do you understand?

clear!

Brother Tai was still holding the candy cake in his little hands, his eyes were shining brightly, which made Gu Shaoyu feel some fluctuations in his heart. He picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. It was slightly sweet, not greasy, but tasted good.

After quietly eating the piece of candy cake, Gu Shaoyu said to Du Jingyi.

On the day of the sacrifice, let you girl make more candy cakes. Luo Yuan loves sweet and glutinous things. I will bring some to him.

good.

It seemed like a bland statement, but Du Jingyi also knew that from now on, sugar cakes would no longer be served on the table.

The wind and snow outside are getting stronger, but they are not as long-lasting as those in the north. They usually stop for a while, and it is difficult to pile up like a mountain.

I originally thought that the funeral on this snowy day would be too desolate, but unexpectedly, the sky cleared up on the day of the memorial ceremony three days later.

It's just that the winter sun always has little temperature, so there is also a gloomy atmosphere in the Gu family cemetery at the moment.

After renovation, the Gu family's cemetery has been restored to its original state, even more organized and grand than before. It can be seen that the craftsmen have also put their heart into it, not only for the Gu family's business, but also because of their respect for Marshal Gu and others. people's reverence.

Gu Shaoyu came today dressed in plain clothes, standing at the front, alone.

Du Jingyi stood in the second row with several aunts and uncles, followed by the rest of the Gu family. However, the children were still young, so they all stayed at home. He especially invited Mr. Su and Mrs. Su to come with them. Help take care of it. With them around, you can feel more at ease.

In the cemetery, everything you look at is plain white.

In front of them were a row of coffins, and burial pits were dug next to them.

The coffin was a rare piece of sunken wood. Even if only the bones were left, they would still be placed in them neatly and then buried.

Next to Gu Shaoyu's brothers, a new grave was built.

The person buried here is Luo Yuan. His coffin had been memorialized in the camp before being sent here, so it was already nailed when it was sent here.

Every one of Hubenjun's brothers has red eyes now.

Each of the twelve lieutenants followed Gu Shaoyu through the wind and rain. Now there is only one missing. It is not a matter of digging out the heart.

Gu Shaoyu's stubble and dark spots under his eyes seemed to be telling of the past days, and it was difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

This is somewhat different from the death of his grandfather, Marshal Gu, and the others. At that time, it was more painful for a loved one to die suddenly, but now Luo Yuan's death also brings a lot of guilt and self-blame.

If he could have discovered that Kuang Yujun earlier, wouldn't Luo Yuan not have to die?

This kind of question has been lingering in Gu Shaoyu's mind. Even until Luo Yuan was about to be buried, he still didn't understand it.

The auspicious time has come, general, let's lay down the coffin and cover it with earth.

Mr. Feng Shui's words brought Gu Shaoyu back from his thoughts. When he looked at the row of tombstones again, he felt a sense of loss.

Well, let's go.

yes.

Gu Shaoyu personally shoveled a shovelful of soil and covered the coffins of his grandfather and others one by one. Then the tombkeepers responsible for filling in the tombs began, shoveling one shovel after another, until all the coffins were placed. The Feng Shui master ordered the cannon to be fired.

Looking at this desolation, Gu Shaoyu remembered what happened back then.

Based on my grandfather's achievements and status, he should have chosen a separate piece of geomantic treasure land to set up some tomb passages, but my grandmother resisted all opinions and chose only a coffin before sending her husband off.

At that time, Gu Xiaolang was still young. When he saw such a scene, he even asked a few questions.

Why was my grandfather buried so simply?

But Mrs. Gu replied.

As long as the lamp is extinguished after death, the soul will be evergreen. As for the things buried with the body, it will only make people with care have rash thoughts. Grandma doesn't want your grandfather to be remembered and dig graves after his death, so it's simple Just some.

It's a good idea to think about it, but it's a pity that it still hasn't come true.

Gu Shaoyu sighed softly at his grandfather's tombstone, and the sound was muffled by the loud firecrackers. With the explosion of the firecrackers, the sacrifice was over. Because it was the burial again, the Gu family only needed to Observe filial piety for three days and follow the ancient etiquette.

Because of the previous incident, all the guardians of the Gu family cemetery were replaced or held accountable. Now the more than a hundred people here are all used by the Tiger Army who retired due to injuries. Some of them have no relatives. Therefore, even if they left the Huben Army, they had nowhere to go, so Gu Shaoyu left them all here after asking about their wishes.

They were hurt for the Gu family, and the Gu family should take care of them for the rest of their lives.

As for those who were unwilling, ten times the repatriation payment was paid to them, and then arrangements were made to return to their hometowns one after another.

For those who have died like Luo Yuan, their ashes and pensions can only be sent back to their place of origin. Ten times the amount is also paid by the Gu family.
