Chapter 306: Paving the Way for the Eldest Grandson’s Exam (7)_1
If she hadn’t heard her speak, Pei Qin would have wondered if she had become mute.
Moreover, Pei Qin was feeling quite unhappy. Ever since she started eating meat and fine wheat flour, she had shot up in height. But this year, her growth had slowed down.. At first, she hadn’t noticed, but standing next to Lu Hai, Pei Qin suddenly felt a head shorter. She could let her face be, having already reached its current state, she could simply avoid mirrors in the future. But she couldn’t let her height stop growing just like that! She still longed for the long legs she had in her previous life! What was the deal with growing into a petite and delicate figure? Was someone expecting her to be a clingy and dependent woman?
Looking at Lu Hai’s long legs, then at her own, she felt they were disproportionately short, not thick, but certainly short. Pei Qin became very frustrated and decided that from then on, she would go to the butcher shop every day, buy big bones to make soup, and fish to cook soup every now and then. She also planned to buy a couple of dairy goats to raise in the workshop, so she could drink goat’s milk whenever she liked. She was determined to grow taller!
After another year had passed, and they had eaten the Laba porridge and Laba rice, it was Lady Fang’s anniversary.
The siblings put on their mourning attire, asked Sun Tiezhu for help, and received guests from the Fang family, Feng family, Zou family, as well as the steward sent by Landlord Chang, the steward from the Wang family, Landlord Zhao, and Sun Lizheng, all of whom offered paper spirit money.
People from Sun Dashun’s family and Sun Quanliang’s family in the town, and others who were familiar with them, also paid their respects.
A crowd gathered on the mountain above Back Mountain Village to burn paper offerings and offer sacrifices to Lady Fang.
Grandma Fang, being an elder, shouldn’t have come. Usually, burning some paper money for Lady Fang would suffice, and on days like this, she couldn’t go to the grave, so she stayed at home with Grandma Sun, talking about past events involving Lady Fang, and both of them couldn’t stop wiping away tears.
At the grave, there was also a chorus of weeping.
