The first item at the beginning of the ceremony is to wear hemp and mourn.

A rectangular white cloth should be wrapped around the head and a white cloth vest should be worn on the body.

Blood relatives within three generations of the deceased need to dress neatly until the deceased is buried.

This custom is actually similar to that of Hutao and others.

On such occasions, the more authoritative elders in the clan will come out to preside over the overall situation. According to the close relationship, one by one will be called by name and come forward to kowtow, wear sackcloth and show filial piety.

Hu Tao, Zheng Xiuyan, Mu Chen and others came to the funeral as friends and did not need to wear sackcloth or mourning, so they all stood at the end.

As the grandchildren of close relatives, Chen Wenxuan and Ling Yechen were called to the front to kneel.

Except for the host's voice reading the name, it was extremely quiet. No one spoke, and everyone listened quietly.

I only heard the host say: "My son Qin Suhua and my daughter-in-law Wen Zixue came forward to kowtow in mourning for their father.

Daughter Qin Ziyue and son-in-law Ling Feng came forward to kowtow in mourning for their father.

Grandsons Chen Wenxuan, grandsons Ling Yeshen, Ling Yexing, and daughter-in-law Hutao came forward to kowtow and wear sackcloth and mourn."

Hu Taoleng was on the spot, but it was Jessica Jung who reminded her: "Taozi, I asked you to come forward and put on mourning."

In addition to Hu Tao, there were also other relatives and friends who were stunned because they had never heard about Ling Yeshen's marriage.

Ling Yechen reacted quickly and turned to Hu Tao: "Come here."

Hutao walked up to Ling Yechen and knelt down under everyone's gaze.

"What's going on?" Hu Tao asked, kneeling next to Ling Yeshen.

Ling Yechen said softly: "My granddaughter-in-law must wear sackcloth and wear mourning. It's our custom here."

Hutao: "But I'm not real."

Ling Yeshen: "Who says it's not true? It's recognized by the law."

Hu Tao still wanted to refute, but the white cloth and white coat had already been given to Hu Tao.

She can only dress neatly under everyone's gaze.

Then there are other relatives.

This process took almost half an hour to complete.

Because Ling Yechen's mother started crying non-stop as soon as she put on her mourning clothes, and then many people started crying too.

Hu Tao pulled Ling Yechen away from the crowd and stood at the end. She was afraid that he would suddenly lose control of his emotions and fall ill.

Muchen and the others also accompanied Ling Yeshen.

Then there was a series of chanting rituals.

Hutao couldn't understand what the master was saying, but she still felt sad listening to the melody.

Fortunately, Ling Yechen didn't react much tonight and spent the night smoothly.

By the time the ceremony ended, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Everyone except the family and young people went to rest.

Hutao and a group of young people were sitting on the sofa in the living room playing cards.

Of course, only Hutao can't play, she can only watch.

After staying up until past one in the morning, Hu Tao couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the sofa.

Chen Wenxuan glanced at Zheng Xiuyan who kept yawning and said: "Are you sleepy? Can I take you to my room to sleep?"

Jessica shook her head and said, "It's okay. I work the night shift in the hospital and stay up late every day. I think it's Hu Tao who's sleepy. You can see she's already asleep."

Chen Wenxuan: "It's not good for girls to stay up late. Let's go and take you to bed."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "You guys play first, I'll take Yanyan to bed."

Then he said to his brother: "Brother, Hutao seems to be asleep. Why don't you wake her up and let her stay with Yanyan, so that they can have company."

Ling Yechen glanced at the girl sleeping on his lap and said softly: "You take Zheng Xiuyan up, and I will take her back to my room later."

Chen Wenxuan: "Okay, let's go upstairs first. Do you want Mu Chen and Tianyu to take a nap too?"

Hong Tianyu shouted: "Why don't you sleep? Send Zheng Xiuyan up quickly and we'll come next."

They played poker and gambled, and Hong Tianyu lost a lot.

Just when Chen Wenxuan took Zheng Xiuyan upstairs, Ling Yeshen's mother Qin Suyue came over and brought them food.

Stay up late at night and prepare a lot of midnight snacks in the kitchen.

I saw Hutao lying on the sofa and sleeping, covered with Ling Yechen's clothes.

He said with some worry: "Is Hutao asleep? Chenchen, please take her upstairs to sleep. She will catch a cold in the winter."

In fact, the air conditioner is turned on in the living room, so it's not cold at all.

Then he added: "I really don't care about my wife at all. How can I let her catch cold when she is pregnant?"

Qin Suyue always thought Hutao was pregnant, but none of the boys understood what it meant.

Ling Yechen said to his mother: "It's okay, Mom, just let her sleep like this. She doesn't dare to sleep upstairs alone."

Ling Yechen let her go upstairs when she was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep, but Hutao said she didn't dare to sleep alone, so he let her sleep on his lap.

Qin Suyue said: "Okay, then I'll get her a blanket."

After a while, Qin Suyue brought some blankets to Ling Yeshen and the others.

Ling Yechen took a bed and covered Hu Tao.

The rest was given to Mu Chen and Hong Tianyu.

When Hutao woke up, it was already the next morning.

It's daybreak.

Someone has already gotten up and cleaned the house.

Hu Tao opened her eyes and was still a little confused. She was hugged tightly by Ling Yechen.

The two of them were covered with a blanket on the sofa.

Mu Chen, Hong Tianyu and Chen Wenxuan were lying on the sofa next to them.

As soon as Hutao moved, Ling Yechen woke up.

"Is it dawn yet?" Ling Yechen asked drowsily.

Hutao: "Well, it's bright. Get up. Many people are up."

Indeed, many people were already walking around the living room, but none of them came to call the people lying on the sofa.

Even Ling Yeshen's grandmother got up and started nagging after seeing the people lying on the sofa: "Why are you sleeping on the sofa? Hey, Hu Tao is here too, why don't you go to sleep in the room? What if you catch a cold?"

Let’s do it.”

As soon as the old lady spoke, Ling Yechen woke up completely.

Hutao was a little embarrassed and quickly pulled him out of Ling Yeshen's arms.

"Grandma, why did you get up so early?" Hutao asked.

The old lady said: "I'm old and can't sleep. You said you don't know how to take care of yourself. Chenchen and the others are boys. It's okay to be cold. You are a girl. You can't be cold. Go back upstairs quickly.

Take a nap and don’t lie on the sofa."

Hu Tao nodded in agreement and called Ling Yeshen, who was still sleeping with his head covered: "I'll go back to the room upstairs to wash my face."

Ling Yechen got up in a daze and called out: "Grandma."

Then he followed Hu Tao back upstairs to wash up.

After washing up and having breakfast, many guests came to the house.

Anyway, the living room and the courtyard were full of people who came to express their condolences.

There were too many people, so neither Ling Yechen nor Hutao went downstairs.

Jessica was called away by Chen Wenxuan, and she couldn't see anyone all morning.

Until ten o'clock in the morning, the spirit appeared.

Their cemetery is on the hillside behind them, not too far away, just a fifteen-minute walk away.

Ling Yechen took Hu Tao to see his grandfather off for the last time.

I heard that Ling Yechen’s mother fainted from crying several times, but Hu Tao didn’t see her.

She has been paying attention to Ling Yeshen.

Afraid that Ling Yeshen would suddenly fall ill, Mu Chen, Hong Tianyu, and the doctors stayed with Ling Yeshen throughout the whole process.

Although his mood was not out of control, his face was pale and he managed to reach the cemetery with the help of several people.

After being supported by several people, I slowly walked down the mountain and returned home.

After returning home, I didn’t even eat lunch, so I took Hu Tao to bed and didn’t go out.
Chapter completed!
