Volume 1 In 2007, my grandmother gave me the golden silkworm poison Chapter 2 Countryside banquet
Xiaojing and I had been running around for almost a whole day and barely ate anything on the way. I was in good health and didn't feel anything yet. Xiaojing was already frowning and feeling uncomfortable. My second aunt quickly took us to the kitchen to eat.
Camellia oleifera. Sitting in this smoky kitchen, drinking tea oleifera, I feel much relieved. There are many things to do during a funeral. Although my parents were very reluctant to leave me, they only stayed with me to say a few words and then got busy.
went.
Wearing white mourning clothes, Xiaojing and I sat on a low bench in the kitchen and ate oil tea. There were several relatives gathered around us, some from the same generation and some from the previous generation, asking questions. Some people also asked me about my car.
Where did it come from? Is it mine? I shook my head and said I borrowed it. Xiaojing, being a child at heart, proudly said that Brother Zuo borrowed it from a friend who was the captain of the police bureau.
Others were amazed and said, wow, there are friends like this...
A distant cousin of mine handed me a cigarette. I waved my hand and said I didn’t want to smoke. He laughed and asked if he thought my cigarette was too thin (meaning it sucked)? I said I couldn’t smoke, but I really couldn’t.
Xiaojing also knew it. He was still confused, so he lit up the cigarette and said, "You are a big boss and you don't even smoke, so you are saving a little, right?" Then he started to talk about how he was in trouble, saying that the baby below wanted to study, and the baby above wanted to study.
The old man has no pension money, and his wife quarrels every day and thinks he is incompetent... Complaints like these, in the end, they still want me to intervene.
I nodded and said, "It's nothing. Please help me if you can." This distant cousin is a well-known lazy man in my second uncle's village. He only wants to get pie in the sky. For this kind of person, I can't help him even if I give him a favor.
It's just talk, don't take it seriously.
I sat for a while and then came out to take a breath. My grandma passed away, so many relatives and friends came. We have a big family, and people from every household came, so it was very lively. There were mahjong tables one after another in the yard.
A bunch of people were playing mahjong there, with smoke curling up and making loud noises, having a great time. Relatives and neighbors who were far away from each other were smiling and beaming with joy. It felt like it was not like a funeral, but
A funny party. I feel very uncomfortable, but this is a custom and I alone cannot change it.
Because I was driving a car, my uncle came over to discuss with me, saying that he would be holding a banquet today and would go to the funeral tomorrow. He needed to buy some things. There was only one small truck in the village, so he asked me to help him run around. I agreed and drove the car.
I came here to be busy with this. He was very happy and patted me on the shoulder and said that I was promising.
In the middle, my mother ran over to me, pulled me aside, and asked me what I had done recently.
I was surprised. Didn't you just open a restaurant with Adong from Provincial Village in Hongshan in the south? It's a normal business and I won't embarrass you. My mother raised her hand and slapped me on the forehead, scolding me.
You said that you have grown up and your wings have become stronger, right? That's not what I'm asking about, it's about you and Huang Fei. Last year, Huang Fei, a little girl, often came to visit me at home. But this year, after you came back last time
, there is no more news. What is going on? Is it because another girl’s family dislikes you for not having a serious job and doesn’t want you anymore?
My mother was old enough to have a son, but she didn't pamper me. She was spanking and scolding me when I deserved it, and she wasn't vague at all.
I was helpless and asked where to go. Your son is now providing a serious job to others, why are you worried about this? The matter between Huang Fei and I was because her family objected, so we separated for a while to calmly think about it. My mother
He handed me something and I took it and saw that it was a bunch of keys. My mother said that this was from Officer Yang and asked me to take it. She had no control over my affairs, but she had to let her know when she was about to die.
She can hold her grandson, otherwise her life would be meaningless.
I nodded hurriedly and said that I would give you a bunch of grandchildren when the time came and I would annoy you to death.
My mother just laughed and said, you damn boy, do you think I don’t understand? I am a working person and if I violate the family planning policy, the country will not allow it and I will be fired.
I got busy in the next time. Friends who have attended funerals in rural areas should know that there are obituaries, greetings, purchases, mourning, condolences, wreaths and elegiac greetings, cemetery location selection... a mess of things, very complicated. And where we are
There is also a "new custom", which is to invite some grass-stage troupes to sing operas, not traditional operas, but older popular songs, such as "Mother", "Mother's Kiss" and the popular Daolang, for fun.
This thing has also become popular in recent years, and people who are slightly richer will ask for it, otherwise they will be said that their descendants are too poor and too poor.
Of course, there are also people who play trumpets, suonas and gongs.
This is a matter of face and comparison. Although I dislike it very much, I still tolerate this vulgar thing.
The cemetery was inspected by a well-known Feng Shui master in the area. The old man was an elementary school teacher before. After retirement, he picked up compasses and erected a signboard with a few books on Yi Xue. I visited the cemetery and chose the right one.
He's quite decent and not aggressive, but it's nonsense to say how rich and prosperous he is. I've done this before at home, and I'm a peer. When I talk to him, I can often tell the truth. After some exchanges, he repeatedly begs for mercy.
Mr. Xiao, you are a smart person, why bother me? If you had known that it was your grandma, I would not have taken this job, which would have made it a joke.
I waved my hand and smiled, saying that there are specialties in the art, and I only have a little understanding of the ways of feng shui and mutual confirmation.
I helped people tell fortunes and read incense in my hometown for a short time, only two months, but it had a great influence. Many people who knew me called me Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, and respected me very much. The culture of the villagers
My level was limited, and my understanding was shallow, but there was one thing: if I thought you had the ability, I would treat you with respect, which was great. As a result, I was busy all afternoon, and when it was time to eat, my uncle came to invite me to sit at the table and stop working.
That night was the main meal of the funeral, and there were about twenty people at the table. The so-called "upper table" refers to the table where a few elders of our Fang clan who were relatively well-off and a few village leaders were sitting. I was not happy to sit with a group of people.
A bunch of old guys gathered together, and I also had some friends I knew who needed to be greeted, so I refused to go. Just as I was talking, two police cars came not far away and parked on the flat ground on the side of the road. The car door opened, Ma Haibo, Yang
Yu and several people from the ** team all walked out.
The momentum of these guys was a bit weird. The lively scene that was about to start the banquet suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other, thinking that some kid had committed some crime and the gangsters were coming to arrest them.
Ma Haibo brought the people over. When my uncle saw them coming towards me, he was a little panicked and said, Zuo, have you done something wrong? Just as he was talking, Ma Haibo came over to shake my hand and said that if he hadn't heard Yang Yu talk about it, my brother would really
I didn’t know you were back. Really, I didn’t say hello earlier, which made us rush over in a hurry. Oh, my condolences...
I shrugged my shoulders and said I just came back and didn’t have time. I thought I’d see you again in a few days.
Ma Haibo said that when an old man goes, he always has to give a gift. Yang Yu and a few people I know next to me greeted me and said that I have to tell everyone about this. My uncle was a little surprised when he heard this conversation.
He quickly helped to greet me. Ma Haibo insisted on taking Yang Yu and others to the mourning hall to pay homage to my grandma, and then went to the table responsible for registering and receiving gifts to hand over the gift money.
There were a total of six of them. My uncle immediately arranged a table in the room. He didn’t let me go to the banquet, so he ate with these friends. Some of my friends who had been playing children also came over and played with them.
After saying hello, he came over to drink with Ma Haibo and the others.
In fact, I was not surprised that Ma Haibo and others would come. We are all friends. However, what made me a little sad was that it was actually six rough old men, and Huang Fei did not come. Although we had an appointment for a year, my grandma passed away.
The matter was obviously much greater than the restrictions imposed by her father. Even Ma Haibo and Yang Yu came, but she didn't come. Isn't this really abnormal?
I have an ominous feeling.
But in front of these people, I didn't ask them in detail, and just chatted with them. I also asked about Yang Yu's promotion. He was a little embarrassed and said he would treat me to a meal alone in a few days. A banquet in the countryside.
It was very simple. They were all big pot dishes of chicken, duck and fish, cooked and scooped out in pots. The wine was the farmhouse-brewed corn wine, which was spicy and spicy. After a few glasses, no one spoke.
, Ma Haibo patted my shoulder, coughed, and said to Lu Zuo, it’s actually a coincidence that you came back this time. I was just thinking about finding you.
As soon as I heard what he meant, I asked if he had encountered another difficult case.
Ma Haibo looked out the door and hesitated. He said it was not a case, but something strange. Do you still remember the last time we went to Qingshanjie to round up the dwarf mule? I said yes, how could I not remember this? Ma Haibo
Tell me, do you still remember the serious illness Wu Gang suffered from? My mind suddenly became confused. After thinking for a long time, I remembered that it was not Wu Gang, the Burmese guide, but Captain Wu, who led the team during the encirclement and suppression of the dwarf mules.
I said that he was haunted by the little devil who died last time, and I even went to Shonan to relieve his resentment. What happened, that he suddenly mentioned this?
Ma Haibo and Yang Yu looked at each other, hesitating and saying nothing. I tapped the wine glass with my chopsticks, making a crisp sound, saying if you have something to say, speak quickly and fart if you have any. Today, my brothers came to pay homage to my dead body.
Grandma, you are giving me Lu Zuo face. We are brothers, so just tell me directly.
Ma Haibo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Lu Zuo, I came to you today because I also want to ask for your help. What happened was that when we went to encircle and suppress the dwarf mule, two of Wu Gang's brothers died inexplicably later.
Two days ago. And Luo Fuan, do you still remember the fat man under my command? He also suddenly fell seriously ill in the first two days. He was sent to the hospital for treatment and could not be cured. He said he would be alive in a few days..."
Yang Yu said with great embarrassment: "Your grandma will be buried tomorrow. Your filial son and grandson will definitely be there during the funeral, but if Luo Fu'an doesn't save him, he might die, so, so..."
I opened my eyes wide and slapped my thigh: I encountered this kind of thing as soon as I got home, damn, how could this happen by such a coincidence?
Nanwu Kasaya Li Kefo said:
I won’t describe the details of the funeral banquet. It’s easy to understand with the picture above. Well, having said that, I haven’t eaten yet. I’m done eating. I really like to see everyone talking about the plot, especially about the plot.
Guess, if I look good like this, do I have a clear thinking, haha. Of course, when everyone accuses something, don’t be too one-sided, because you will soon find that everything is not like this. Okay, the plot
I'm done, see you tomorrow. This chapter is recommended for over 160,000 and is more suitable for Queen's Day. It turns out that I... I'm sorry, I really haven't had enough sleep recently. A few friends who hold the crown, I didn't make it in time, I apologize.
