After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In a blink of an eye, the Central Plains Festival was coming soon. Yan Qingqing thought that there was still a dead ghost at home who wanted to worship, so she helplessly called Yuan Huiniang.

Yuan Huiniang was actually thinking about this. After all, Li Erniu was her father-in-law, so the first Central Plains Festival after his death must be more grand.

Yuan Huiniang looked at Yan Qingqing and asked: "Mom, this Zhongyuan Festival is also the first festival celebrated after my father passed away. Do you have anything to explain?"

Yan Qingqing shook her head and said, "I'm inconvenient, so you and Dalang can just take care of it. It must be grand."

She is not the original owner, and she has no relationship with Li Erniu, but she has taken over his wife's body, so she has to show it no matter what.

Yuan Huiniang thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had such a good relationship. Not only did she want to give birth to a child for her dead father-in-law at such an old age, she also specifically told her that she would burn more paper money for her father-in-law during the Ghost Festival.

In fact, Yan Qingqing originally planned to make some sacrifices for the Central Plains Festival to sell. In her previous life, during the Qingming Festival and other festivals in the Central Plains, people selling ingot wreaths in the streets and alleys could make a lot of money.

But in the end, I thought about the living people's money. Why should I earn the dead people's money? She was still pregnant, so she should use it as a way to accumulate merit for the child in her belly.

The day before the Zhongyuan Festival, Li Xiangping and Yuan Huiniang prepared meat, fruits, incense, candles, paper money and other sacrifices for Yan Qingqing to see.

Yan Qingqing looked around and saw that the preparations were quite complete, and thought that she was right about Li Erniu. Li Erniu might not have eaten these things when he was alive, but he had eaten them in death.

Li Xiangan did not do business on the day of the Central Plains Festival. This was the agreement he had made with the restaurant the day before. Since there was no ancestor in his family, the restaurant was also closed on that day.

Yan Qingqing didn't go to visit Li Erniu's grave. She was now a grandmother, with children and grandchildren. Unlike the new widow, no one would say anything even if she didn't go.

Several children were still immersed in sadness after returning from the grave, and Yan Qingqing did not dissuade them. After all, he was his biological father, and it was normal to remember him on this special day.

Yan Qingqing sat in her room and thought, after the Central Plains Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you can't make money from the dead, you should be able to make money from the living.

After Li Xiangkang was admitted to Xifeng Academy, Yan Qingqing began to rack her brains to make money again. She didn't dare to make big money, so she could only make small money.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing called Li Xiangkang over. The little guy didn't have much affection for Li Erniu, so he asked with a smile: "Mom, what do you want from me?"

Yan Qingqing replied: "Mom, I want to borrow the four treasures of your study."

Li Xiangkang replied cheerfully: "Okay, mother, just wait for me to get it for you."

After saying that, he ran out of Yan Qingqing's room. Yan Qingqing immediately laughed. Ever since he bought Li Xiangkang the Four Treasures of the Study, the little guy was very precious. He locked these things in a separate box and no one was allowed to touch them.

But this does not include Yan Qingqing. In Li Xiangkang's heart, although these things are expensive and he treasures them, the more important thing is that these things were bought for him by his mother, which makes him even more treasured.

Li Xiangkang quickly ran in holding a small box and placed it in front of Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing touched his little head and asked: "Today is the Central Plains Festival, but you think that your father is unhappy?"

Li Xiangkang hummed and nodded.

Yan Qingqing sighed. This child lost his father when he was young, so he should miss Li Erniu.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and said: "Don't be sad, Shiro. Your father will definitely feel uncomfortable if he knows that you are sad. Although he is no longer here, he can still turn into a star in the sky to bless you."

Yan Qingqing felt that she was right to coax her children this way, because that was what was written in the book.

Who knew that Li Xiangkang curled his lips and said, "Mom, you don't have to lie to me, I'm not a three-year-old child.

He couldn't bless us when he was alive, so you expect him to bless us after he died.

We are sad because we think his death was not worth it. Look what he paid for by risking his life.

Besides, I don’t need a father, it’s enough that I have a mother. "

Yan Qingqing:......

Is this child actually so smart? Look at these words that made her speechless.

Helpless, Yan Qingqing had no choice but to change the subject and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in one month. Mom has to find a way to earn some tuition for us Shiro. Can you grind ink for mom?"

Li Xiangkang nodded after hearing this, but after all, he was still young and couldn't control his strength well, so Yan Qingqing taught him how to grind ink while painting.

The two of them were enjoying themselves hiding in the house.

Outside the room, Yuan Huiniang and her sister-in-law were also muttering quietly.

Yuan Huiniang said in a low voice: "My mother doesn't even want to go to my father's grave, and she is still hiding in the house secretly. She must be sad for my father."

Li Yueniang said: "We are just afraid that my mother will say that we are unfilial. We have already pretended to be so sad. My mother should feel better."

Li Xinniang had a different idea. She really didn't think her mother had deep feelings for her father. She even saw a hint of disdain in her mother's eyes when they mentioned her father a few times.

So he hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't it good for us to do this? What if my mother, who was not sad at first, becomes sad again when she sees us like this?"

It turned out that several children thought that Yan Qingqing did not go to pay homage to Li Erniu because he was sad, so they discussed before returning that they must act sad to prevent Yan Qingqing from misunderstanding that they were unfilial.

Moreover, Yan Qingqing has been hiding in her house since they came back, which further verified their ideas.

But after what Li Xiniang said, Yuan Huiniang felt that it made some sense.

So he also followed up and said: "Isn't the fourth brother in mother's room? We will ask him about his situation when he comes out later."

If Yan Qingqing knew this, he would definitely laugh. These children are so interesting.

They waited until it got dark. Yuan Huiniang couldn't help but knocked on Yan Qingqing's door. Yan Qingqing saw that it was so late, and Li Xiangkang beside her had already fallen asleep on her bed. .

Yan Qingqing looked at her masterpiece, stood up, stretched and said, "It's Hui Niang, come in. I've been so busy that I forgot the time, but it's dinner time."

Yuan Huiniang nodded and said, "The meal will be ready soon. I'm just worried because I haven't left the room all day. It turns out that I'm busy."

After listening to Yuan Huiniang's words, Yan Qingqing knew that these children had misunderstood and thought she was hiding in the house and feeling sad.

But she didn't explain it and let them misunderstand it.

Yan Qingqing walked out of the room with the picture she had drawn and said, "Let's eat first. I'll tell you something after dinner."

Yuan Huiniang knew that her mother-in-law must have something important to announce, so she nodded and woke up Zhengxiang Li Xiangkang, who was sleeping, and went to eat with her.
