Man Bao was led by Lao Zhoutou and Qian and stood at the front. Taoist Shouguang held a magic sword with a serious look on his face and muttered something.
No matter whether he can really bring back the soul, he is very dedicated anyway. Man Bao listened carefully and heard him chanting: "...So Zhou Yin and his wife died in a long journey, and the ghosts who were not named returned to their hometown to receive the fruit.
I sincerely wish you this elixir... to summon your soul thousands of miles away to return to your place of origin, to receive the fruit and ascend to the sun, and to ascend to immortality early in the morning. However, because you have not been saved, your cold soul turned into a blue-wave immortal..."
Shouqing turned around gracefully and stabbed forward with his long sword, as if to clear the way for the dead souls. He looked sharply at the door and dragged the sword all the way to the front of the mourning hall.
Lao Zhoutou and Qian both looked at the Taoist priest with bright eyes, and Man Bao also looked at him with round eyes.
Shou Qingdao took a long breath, took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat gracefully before saying: "The soul of the dead has returned, and the funeral can be held."
Qian suddenly cried loudly, turned around, threw herself on the coffin, slapped the coffin and cried: "Yin, Yin, why are you so cruel? You haven't come to see your sister-in-law for so many years. I'll give it a try."
The shit will make you big, even if it’s just once in your dream..."
The sweat that Taoist Shouqing had just wiped broke out again.
Before Man Bao had time to speak to him, he was grabbed by Xiao Qian and pulled to the front together with Da Tou, who was wearing mourning clothes and holding a tablet, and said, "The time has come, let's carry out the funeral with flags -"
Feng and He hurriedly stepped forward to help Qian, and suddenly they started crying loudly. Wu Lang and Liu Lang, who had disappeared for a long time, got in anxiously, stood up holding the coffin, and called their uncle and aunt.
He burst into tears.
Don't worry about whether you can shed tears or not, just cry anyway.
But Ms. Qian was really crying. Even the little Ms. Qian couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked out some comforting words.
Lao Zhou held the cigarette rod and walked at the front with red eyes. The suona sounded and everyone followed the coffin all the way to the outside of the village. The cries were loud and loud all the way.
But the people in the village were actually not very sad. On the contrary, they were happy. Zhou Yin was buried openly and openly, and the big stone that weighed on the hearts of many people in the village was moved aside.
Even Lao Zhoutou and Qian, although their eyes were red, they were mostly happy in their hearts.
From today on, during the New Year, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Double Ninth Festival when they need to worship their ancestors, they can offer incense and a sumptuous meal to Zhou Yin and his wife openly and openly, instead of having to do it secretly like before.
I have to find some excuses to put three sticks of incense in front of their graves, even to weed the graves...
Their cemetery was still chosen to be near a piece of land, but it was changed from the left side of the old Zhou family's parents to the right side. Man Bao followed Da Tou to deliver the coffin to the cemetery with a confused look on his face.
After watching the people put down the coffin, Xiao Qian stepped forward with tears in his eyes, pulled the two children to the front of the pit and said, "Come, you two, your aunt and nephew, will scatter the first handful of earth together."
Man Bao ignorantly picked up a handful of soil and threw it on the coffin. Everyone shouted, and Zhou Dalang and others buried the soil in person.
The Zhang family looked back and curled their lips, they were too particular.
After the coffin was buried, the old Zhou family had to offer sacrifices one more time in front of the grave. Taoist priest Shouqing led his people around the grave for another thirty-six times and recited all the scriptures before it was completed.
This time, Manbao and Datou stood at the front again, kneeling down to kowtow to the dead souls. Only this time, Zhou Dalang's seven brothers and sisters and a bunch of sons and daughters also knelt down. Except for old Zhoutou and Qian, they were still standing.
.
After the children all kowtowed, Qian squatted down on the ground. Maybe she had been crying for too long. She didn't stop and sat down on the ground. She was too lazy to move anymore. While burning paper money, she muttered in her heart: You guys
Don’t worry, your sister-in-law will help you raise Man Bao. She is a very clever child just like you. You must also keep her healthy and safe...
After the funeral ceremony was over, everyone went home, with Lao Zhou and his family at the end. Man Bao supported his mother with concern. Qian smiled at her. Although her eyes were red and swollen, her expression was very relaxed and she said, "Mother is fine."
These words comforted Man Bao, and she became happy and grinned. When walking back, Man Bao curiously glanced at the grave next to her grandparents, and said "Huh": "
Mom, look, someone has come to weed this grave, but it’s so strange, why isn’t there any incense?”
Everyone in the old Zhou family was sweating. Before they could think of an excuse, Man Bao had already turned around and ran back. He pulled out three sticks of incense from Zhou Yin's grave, ran back and inserted it in front of the grave which was also made of fresh soil.
.
As in previous years, she followed her parents' instructions and muttered: "Whether it's uncle or aunt in the tomb, you can come and have dinner with my uncle and aunt. There are many ghosts and it's lively."
After thinking about it, I felt that this matter should not be left out of my grandparents, because they used to treat the strange grave owner next to me to eat when they came to visit their graves. It makes no sense to invite this strange grave owner now instead of my own family.
Aren’t grandparents?
So she ran back again, took three more sticks of incense to her uncle and aunt's grave, and gave them to her grandparents, and muttered something to invite them to come and have a meal and drink with her uncle and aunt.
Lao Zhou's family just watched, and when she was done, they took her hand and went home.
Forget it, we are all a family anyway, let’s just eat together, I think Zhou Yin and his wife won’t mind either.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw people in the village helping to clear away the dishes, tables, chairs and benches.
The dishes and chopsticks have to be washed, sorted and returned to each household, and the tables, chairs and benches have to be cleaned. Of course, the Zhou family cannot do these tasks themselves, but the neighbors and fellow villagers usually help out.
The other guests from the maternal family did not accompany him to the funeral. After all, they were not related by blood, so they left early.
The only ones left now are the Zhang family.
They were rummaging for something in the dishes at this time. A woman from the village shouted rudely: "Stop rummaging. There are still leftovers in these days. Don't smash the dishes."
Compensate."
The Zhang family curled their lips and withdrew their hands.
As soon as they saw the people from the old Zhou family coming back, the people from the Zhang family immediately rushed forward in an aggressive manner.
Including the elderly and children, about forty people stood opposite Lao Zhou's house. Seven or eight half-year-old children were pushed to the front. A woman shouted directly: "Zhou Jin, what's going on with your children? We are here."
You guys are eating banquets, but what happened to our children when your two sons and your grandchildren beat them up?"
Lao Zhou glanced at the children who had bruises and swollen faces, and even had their clothes torn a lot. He didn't ask why his sons were fighting. He frowned and waved, "Okay, okay, what's the matter?"
Besides, we just came back from the cemetery and you decided to block our way here?"
