Especially funerals! Life can be counted, but death cannot. You can’t predict when you will die, or how you will die.
Lin Yutong never felt that this elder caused much trouble to anyone. In the following years, she followed Lin Shuangchao outside. From living in a bungalow in the provincial capital, to a private courtyard in Pingzhou, and then back to the provincial capital to live in a two-story building.
My wife never caused any trouble for Lin Shuangchao.
She rarely went out to socialize because she was afraid that she might say something wrong and cause trouble for her son. When she was in good spirits and her eyesight was good, she would make some needlework for the younger generation. Her own small clothes and socks were all hers.
She washed it herself and never asked her daughter-in-law to touch it. Later she became mentally ill and her eyesight became worse, but she still insisted on washing her underwear and socks by herself without asking her daughter-in-law to wash them, let alone bothering the nanny. Wu Xiuzhen never asked her daughter-in-law to wash them.
It's disobedient, but in fact, the old lady's eyesight is bad and she can't wash it clean. Even if the old lady has finished washing, she can wash it again.
The old lady never shows off in her hometown, and she never forces her son to do things for anyone because of someone's plea. The old lady has a natal family, and her natal family still has brothers alive. But regardless of the memory of the original person, it is still different if it is replaced by Tongtong.
Years ago, I don’t remember the old lady’s natal family. Come to think of it, there must be some reason why we don’t interact with each other.
What could be the reason? It was simply that she did not force her son to marry his natal family.
Over the years, has anyone in the village approached the old lady for help? Yes! But the old lady would rather help with money than agree to anything. She only had one son and one daughter in her life. The son has made a career, but the daughter has always been there.
In the countryside, Lin Shuangchao was very tolerant of his sister and never grudged money. The reason was mostly because he did it for the old lady's sake and didn't want to embarrass the old lady. As a mother, she never embarrassed her son, so how could she give up being a son?
Mother is in trouble?
But such an old lady who hardly caused anyone any trouble was just gone.
Jin Yin hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do about this funeral? Should we do it in the provincial capital? Or should we do it back home? If we do it back home, your sister-in-law lives in the old house of the Lin family. We have to ask someone to clean it up and put it in the mourning hall..."
Lin Yutong sighed and then stood up, "My dad won't think of calling him back for the funeral! My mom said on the phone that my dad has gone to inspect the work. Even if it's quick, he won't arrive until tomorrow morning."
Where are you going? Is it so far away?
"Mountain area." Lin Yutong stood up, "Let's go with the kids first. When the decision is made, I'll call home."
good!
The fourth master went to pick up the child, and the two of them took the child and drove. When passing through the county town, they picked up Yulian's family of three.
Yu Lian couldn't stop crying. Coupled with the motion sickness, she vomited as soon as the car stopped and couldn't stand.
Except for the sound of my sister-in-law's crying, the house was very quiet. People came and went to mourn. It was okay for the family members to grieve, but it was not appropriate to compete with each other for mourning loudly like in the countryside.
Yu Rong looked sullen, obviously unable to do anything to deal with her sister-in-law.
Lin Yutong walked in and out, glanced at her sister-in-law, walked over, and patted her sister-in-law gently. Sister-in-law Lin stopped crying immediately, "Xiaotong... I didn't bring your uncle and your other two cousins...
…”
"You live in the house in your hometown. Where did you ask my grandma to stop the spirit?" Lin Yutong first sent the person back, "You go back and clean up first..."
That's right! The old man is buried in his hometown, and the old lady can still hold funerals outside?
Sister Lin walked away neatly, "Then I'll go back now?" Well! Go back, hurry up, "Didn't you buy a new homestead and build a mansion? You go back and move your things over there first... My dad's here
Due to the situation, there must be a lot of guests that day, so the house must be orderly and not messy..."
OK! The old ones have been moved away, and the alleys have to be cleared...I think all your dad's old colleagues from his old workplace will have to go, from all counties and regions...how many people will this take! There aren't enough in the alleys.
, maybe we have to borrow places from other families..."
Well! Yes! Remember to move them all and don’t complain.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it! I really didn't mean what happened this time... I will do my best for the old lady's funeral..."
OK! Go get busy!
Seeing Aunt Lin go out, Lin Yutong came back.
Yu Rong saw that her brother-in-law was standing next to her mother and was greeting the people who came to mourn her better than she could, so she turned around and went to the house to guard the old lady.
Tongtong sat next to the old lady. She had already changed into the clothes he had made for the old lady during the Chinese New Year. The old lady was reluctant to wear them, and now she was going to wear them.
Yu Rong touched the leather shoes on the old lady's feet and said, "You made them for me. They are very soft and light. I never wanted to part with them. I said I had to wait until Yu Cai gets a wife to wear them..."
Yulian leaned on the chair on the other side, "Have you called Yucai?"
Called! The train I took tonight will probably arrive tomorrow.
As long as such a funeral is not done back home, the secretariat will help arrange it. When to hold the memorial service and when to cremate, the arrangements are very appropriate.
He asked the old lady to stay at home one night, and had to wait until Lin Shuangchao came back the next day. Lin Shuangchao met the old lady at home, and then personally escorted the old lady to the funeral parlor.
Lin Shuangchao came back at dawn after a bumpy journey.
The children were sleeping soundly on the second floor, while Tongtong and the others stayed downstairs, leaning on each other or leaning on each other, sleeping for a while. As soon as the door rang, they all got up.
"dad--"
Lin Shuangchao nodded, didn't ask anything, and entered the old lady's room with a chill. Then he slowly knelt down and didn't get up for a long time.
Tongtong went over to help her, "Dad, what's next is the old lady's funeral, you have to make arrangements."
Lin Shuangchao rubbed his face and wiped away the tears completely, "If you don't go back to your hometown, just stay in the provincial capital... No extravagance, no waste, cremation after the memorial service... Then take the ashes back to your hometown and be buried next to your grandfather...
…That’s it. No gift book, no gift money… Keep everything simple!”
As he said that, he grabbed Tongtong's hand and said, "No matter how successful you are in the future or how much wealth you have, remember, when I leave with your mother, follow your grandma's example, don't make a big deal and keep everything simple."
Lin Yutong's nose felt sore all of a sudden, and he nodded slowly, "I made a note of it, keep everything simple."
Keep everything simple, this is the purpose of doing things. But things are not extravagant, but very grand.
The in-laws were notified, and except for Aunt Lin's family, almost all of them came. For example, the uncle's family, the Jin family, the Lei family, and the Gao family in the provincial capital. Because Shuangquan is in the provincial capital, they also came
Already.
Only after coming here did Shuangquan's parents know what kind of family Shuangquan's siblings were.
My son is also a civil servant. It would be difficult to curry favor with the boss. But what about here? It’s such a chaotic place. What levels are they at?
Lei Zhiping came forward to entertain his in-laws, that is, he tried to tactfully restrain them not to get close to others on such occasions. In fact, everyone in the family was very measured and would not cause trouble at this time. Anyway, they just felt that it would not be rude.
Already.
Gao Cheng went to help entertain Lin Shuangchao's personal friends and classmates. Some of them are not in this circle, but they are also doing very well in other industries. Some are also in this circle, but there are not many in Lin Shuangchao's position. We
He couldn't be rude to others either. So Gao Cheng went to socialize with this person.
Yucai has never left the environment of the army, and Yucai and his three sisters are guarding him before his death.
As for Lin Shuangchao, he took the Fourth Master with him wherever he went, and always asked the Fourth Master to do something. But basically there was nothing to give him. Whatever he thought of, the Fourth Master had already arranged it. What he didn't expect, the Fourth Master had already arranged it.
We also communicated with people and made arrangements.
Seeing her father-in-law supporting her son like this, Yang Shuhui secretly tugged on the hem of Jinyin's clothes and said, "Look at our son, is he special?"
Jinyin shook it off: Don't go too far, this is a funeral.
Funerals are particularly painful. After Yucai carried the urn and got into the car arranged by the Secretariat, the Fourth Master called the factory and asked them to notify the village and dig the old lady's grave in advance beside the old man.
The ashes will not go through the door of the old house when they return, but will go directly to the cemetery and be buried nearby.
In the provincial capital, no one mentioned the specific cause of the old lady's death. Anyway, she was old and had a heart attack. Everyone knew that the old lady was not in good spirits. So no one found it strange.
In fact, this matter is a family scandal. The biological daughter was giving her mother a bath, and something unexpected happened. If this matter is brought out, will others only criticize Aunt Lin? No!
Why do you say that family scandals should not be made public? It’s just that if you say something like this, people won’t believe what you say. It’s said that it’s Aunt Lin’s problem, and that Wu Xiuzhen has warned her. But there are still people who will
Said, if Wu Xiuzhen had been more careful and worried, such a thing would never have happened.
What you say makes it impossible for anyone to argue?
So, family scandal - what to say? What is there to say? Do you want everyone to talk about the trivial matters of this family?
Therefore, only the family knew about this matter! In the provincial capital, no one said a word to the outside world. Aunt Lin was crying so much that Tongtong coaxed her back and came back, and firmly believed that she was responsible for the early funeral arrangements.
That is: my sister-in-law and niece said nothing to the outside world at that time, except that the old lady was gone very suddenly.
Not a word about her!
Therefore, Aunt Lin really tidied up the house. She was also afraid that the funeral would be messy and the things in the house would be in trouble. I asked you, who doesn't throw away things after a funeral? There are a lot of things lost. Even money.
Everything as small as pots, pans, and chopsticks were lost. Out of this consideration, she moved everything to her second son's house. It was cleaned here, and it was restored to what it was like when it was moved there.
Then he called someone in the alley, saying that his mother suddenly passed away. She had a heart attack and had to come back for the funeral.
Then everyone in the village, town, and county knew about it, and people from the village came to help and built sheds in the alleys. But the result was that the Jin family left, the Wu family also left, and Lin Shuangchao did not come back with the coffin.
, then this is wrong.
The town and county were well informed and knew that he was not coming back. But there was no need to inform Murakami. As Lin Shuangchao’s hometown, he contacted Lei Zhiping through the public security system and asked if he could go to express condolences. Lei Zhiping did not dare to make up his mind.
I asked the fourth master, who nodded, of course he can come.
So, they sent a representative to come, send elegiac couplets, and attend the memorial service. But my hometown is still waiting! It sounds like there is a funeral, so don’t look at it! I don’t care about the face of the Lin family, but there are still
Laosi and Xiaotong's face. This has caused everyone a lot of trouble. I wonder if they should wait for help.
Who knows, but someone from the factory came, called the village chief, and told the story in a low voice.
This means: The fourth child has accepted everyone's love, and the funeral has nothing to do with Aunt Lin.
Lin Shuangchao did not inform his sister about such a big event like the cremation. In-laws like the Wu family and the Jin family all went, and they all went to the provincial capital to attend the memorial service. Even the old lady's biological daughter and grandson did not go.
Isn’t it clear what it means? Think again that Aunt Lin took her grandson to see a doctor, and then the old lady had a heart attack and passed away. What else is there that you don’t understand? The death of the old lady must be attributable to Aunt Lin.
Open a relationship.
Some people said that the old lady must have been angry and had a heart attack.
Who says it’s not the case? It’s not my fault that my brother is angry. This is so abominable!
Before the ashes came back, everyone was spreading the word privately that Aunt Lin had made her mother so angry.
These unspoken words reached Aunt Lin's ears, and she realized that she had not been able to attend her mother's funeral. But she also felt so wronged that she cried and howled: It's not me who is angry with my mother!
What a surprise.
She didn't hide it, so she said, "Then how do I know that closing the exhaust window and closing the door can kill me? Can I intentionally harm my own mother? Who doesn't close the door tightly when taking a bath?
I'm not afraid that the cold wind will blow in and give the old lady a cold..."
People who listened thought: What the hell are you doing! Your sister-in-law is taking good care of her, so you have to interfere! A daughter-in-law serves her mother-in-law, especially when her son is promising, the daughter-in-law is more careful than anyone else, and she is afraid of serving her mother-in-law.
It's not good for my mother to be cautious about everything, and that's right. Just because you are my daughter, you dare to take any idea! Then something happened. Everyone knows you didn't mean it, but you acted on your own
, can nothing happen? You have never served your mother, otherwise you would not know anything. This sudden service will kill your mother.
What to say?
There’s no way to tell!
But at this time, everyone felt that any decision Lin Shuangchao made was understandable. No one could forgive this sister. Another meaning of not attending the funeral was that there would be no contact with her from now on.
Lin Shuangchao didn't say anything. When he came back for the burial, his son-in-law arranged whatever he wanted.
Go directly to the mausoleum, okay! Then go directly to the mausoleum.
The people from the village who came to help were all at the cemetery. Many middle-aged women and young wives saw the car and started crying all the way. This is a kind of mourning, which means that this is a very respected elder. The mourning and crying are lively.
It means that the funeral is well done.
This is completely different from the way in the city. People were mourning, so the Fourth Master quickly arranged for Sanling, "Find someone to set up a banquet at the entrance of the factory, quickly!"
Yucai held the ashes, and Yulian held the portrait. The ashes were put into the grave dug in advance. The filial son knelt down and everyone buried them. You gave me a shovel and I buried the old lady.
Then the filial son knelt down and kowtowed three times to thank his neighbors.
Damin shouted: "Everyone, go to the gate of the factory. Today I will prepare a banquet to thank my neighbors, relatives and friends!"
I told the village chief in private, "We will arrange for people to sit at the table without setting up a ritual book."
Yucai quickly kowtowed again: "I don't come back often, I have to go today..."
Lin Yutong nodded inwardly, he could help Zhang Luo, but it must be a matter of raising materials. There is someone in the factory to handle this matter. There is Sanling Zhang Luo, two pigs, and 100 yuan of tofu. You can eat whatever you have! There is a steamed bun seller in the county.
Ask someone to buy it immediately. It's a hurry. No matter how many dishes are served, as long as they have meat and vegetables, are in sufficient quantity and taste good, it will be enough.
Lin Shuangchao can't help but be away from the provincial capital. There are so many big things, and you have to take care of them no matter where you sit. Especially in the past few years, various companies have had problems, and employees can't pay their wages. If you are not careful, there will be trouble. Mother is buried
Now, he can't stay and has to go back to the provincial capital.
The son, daughter and son-in-law stayed behind to thank everyone.
The leaders of the county and town came to see him off. He shook hands with everyone vigorously, and then he really left.
Lin Yutong and Yulian Yurong toasted to the female guest, but Qin Yindi came over in a hurry, "Go back quickly, your sister-in-law is at our door..."
Okay! Leave the matter to Yu Lian and Yu Rong, she will go home directly.
My sister-in-law has lost a lot of weight in the past few days and is only sitting on the door post. There are still people in the alley. Usually when someone has a wedding or wedding, they will help. When eating noodles, one person from the family will go together. If they are really close, two people will go there.
It's just for personal use. This is decided by the village. The savings are like those of a wealthy family. Doing one thing will empty out the old foundation.
Therefore, my sister-in-law sat on the doorpost and wiped her tears, attracting so many people to come over to persuade her.
Sister-in-law Tao said, "There is no one left. Your brother, your nephews and your niece are all very angry. Why are you crying here?" The key is that crying in front of the Jin family is very inappropriate. Who else would do it?
No more taboos?
My sister-in-law was feeling uncomfortable. There was no room for others to criticize her! She said, "I came here to see my niece, and I didn't come to your door. What does it have to do with you?"
Sister-in-law Tao said, "You're crying in front of my Jin's house, and you still think it's none of my business?"
Sister-in-law Tao's man, Jin Suo, is the head of the Jin family. This is how the clan talks about it! Someone bullied someone with the surname Jin on the door. The head family said this is the door of my family, and no one else dared to say it was wrong.
Just when Aunt Lin was about to reply, she saw Tongtong coming back. Her tears suddenly fell down, "Where's your dad? Where's your mom? I want to ask why you didn't ask me to attend the funeral. This time, it's just me.
One person is wrong?”
Lin Yutong stood at the door and asked her, "Then who do you think is at fault? Your grandson was diagnosed with hepatitis B, and you had to take him to live at home. Who can leave this matter to you? You know that my father is going to have a health problem.
Is this a big deal? Do you know how many people can't pay their wages and have to make decisions and find solutions? You find out that your child has hepatitis B. What my father is thinking is, why is hepatitis B popping up in such a large area?
You have to report it quickly, you have to call someone to investigate, you have to find a solution quickly... Do you think that if I had agreed to let you live at home, you would never give my grandma a bath, and it would be fine if she didn't take a bath, right? Is that what you think?"
That’s right! If I go back to my parents’ home, why can’t I live at home?!
"Then the place you have been living in is not your natal home? The Lin family's house is not yours? In the past few years, when have you not lived in your natal home? Your daughter-in-law was all married in her natal home! But now that you don't
"Yes, that's easy to do!" She said to Sister-in-law Tao, "Sister-in-law, please go to the factory gate and tell Sihai that the descendants of the Lin family will no longer be able to use that house, and that it will be returned to the collective. The homestead still belongs to our village.
The houses are also given to our village, and the houses of the five-guarantee households do not need to be repaired by the villagers. They can just be moved there!"
My sister-in-law was shocked and said, "You are crazy. The house is well built and neat, and you won't sell it for two thousand!"
Tongtong stopped talking and just looked at her.
My sister-in-law was crying, but she still got up. She knew that her niece had done a great job and kicked her out of the Lin family's old house. This was her attitude!
In this life, I will never have a home to return to!
Now I think about my niece's previous arrangements, asking me to move my own things just to make it convenient for me. Asking me to organize the funeral in the early stage is just to expose myself to how ugly it is.
When she came to find him, she said these words directly without saving any face.
After leaving her niece's house, she went to her parents' graves and cried bitterly.
Cry? Can crying bring back the old lady?
When everyone saw this attitude, what else didn’t they understand? This was a complete fall out. He turned his back on his three sons and their jobs were snatched away by others. The winter irrigation field was being used. People said that everyone reported it and said
It's because you three brothers didn't do a good job. I don't want you to be pumpers anymore.
I just lost my job here, but over there I even dared to bully that woman Xiujuan! If you want to ask for money again, you can't do that.
My sister-in-law's second daughter-in-law had a fight with Xiujuan, and Xiujuan also lay down on the ground. Please give me a doctor.
How to do this? Let’s offset the two.
But no one is looking at Xiujuan. Does Xiujuan dare to fool around? She lost the lawsuit, and she has not paid the 20,000 yuan in compensation. Jin Laosi and Xiaotong did not come to press... But if she dares to fool around again
, they will definitely urge you.
This Xiujuan is also a capable person. She came to Wang Gensheng to make peace with her, meaning that she would pay her back in installments and would never escape.
Xiujuan definitely couldn't make a living, and was being watched by the police station. She was also ruthless, and divorced her husband directly. Then she married a man, who was a miner in a quarry, and now she took a sum of money to buy out her working years.
.The two of them also bought a new homestead. Although it is already very remote. But it has its uses. The man is tall and tall, and his family used to kill pigs. In such a remote place, they built a pig killing farm. They sell it.
Started pork.
That man is very powerful. If Xiujuan dares to flirt with her, the man will beat her up! Someone must have raised him. He has no shortage of food and clothing, and his hands are loose. If he does a little work at home, such as turning the intestines and washing the internal organs, he will be better than the average rural person.
My wife is living a much better life.
Of course, this is all for the future. That is to say, now, Lin Yutong has completely turned against his sister-in-law in front of so many people.
Then she guessed that Lin Shuangchao and Wu Xiuzhen had arrived home, so she called them, "...This matter is over! The Lin family's house has been completely returned to the village. I want to return to my hometown in the future. I have a place to live here. Sister-in-law
There is no need to answer the phone calls..."
Wu Xiuzhen said "hmm" twice, and Lin Shuangchao picked up the phone, "Xiaotong, are many children in the village infected with hepatitis B?"
"As far as I know, there are already seven or eight."
"Take good care of the child. If it doesn't work, transfer the child to the provincial capital in advance." Lin Shuangchao said, "Other irrelevant things and irrelevant people are not important."
good!
Then a week later, the county suddenly notified that children would be given free physical examinations. It was said that the higher-ups had issued a notice!
Many people in the village began to say: In fact, Lin Shuangchao is a good official!
