The one who cried about the old lady was none other than the old lady’s eldest daughter, Jin Ximei.
Everyone knows that Jin Ximei's father has been sorry for her. Therefore, it is understandable that this girl married into the Zheng family and is not close to the people here. You can go ahead. Although they are not close, they can move around normally.
There are still some. Especially in those years, when the son-in-law named Zheng died unexpectedly, leaving her with two sons and the child in her belly, the old lady felt sorry for her daughter at that time and helped her take care of the child. After all,
The man is dead, and he is the one who keeps it in his heart wholeheartedly. This Jin Ximei is a bit stubborn and stubborn. She must not be able to figure it out in her heart!
Why? Why is it so rare for me to follow you? I am living a good life. It would be great to live like this.
But why did he die? Why did he die? Why did you die?
As soon as I couldn't figure it out, I suddenly had no support. The child was small, I was pregnant, and without a man, I had no source of income. Various reasons were mixed together, and I fell ill all of a sudden. How sick is it? As sick as a mother.
I had to start thinking about dressing her up.
Mr. Jin looked at it and thought, this can't work! It's not worth it for such a young person to have his life taken care of like this. After all, he is his biological father. He didn't know where he found an old doctor who said he had a folk remedy that could cure the disease.
Illness. The doctor treats a dead horse as a living horse. I don’t know what kind of snake venom was used. The person’s life was saved, but after he recovered from the disease, his back was completely hunched.
Fortunately, the child in her belly was born healthy despite struggling to survive.
After a long time, and with such medical conditions, no one can tell clearly what disease the aunt had and why she was treated like that. Anyway, it was said to be quite miraculous.
The illness was cured and she was not dead, and the child in her belly was still strong. Jin Ximei did not want to die. She was so quick that she immediately hired a man to come to the house. This man was honest, tall and thin. This was how the family lived.
Over the years, the man who married her gave birth to two more daughters. Now there are two sons and three daughters. The first three have one father, and the last two have one father.
We live door to door, and across the wall is our maternal home.
When the children were young, they didn't play together, and the old lady watched them together.
Even if he doesn't have a good face towards the old man, he is still moving around.
But in what year did the two families stop interacting with each other? Even the original person who lived in the same alley didn't know very clearly. It seemed that by the time he discovered it, the two families had already been like that.
The old man and the old lady have been paralyzed these years. Logically speaking, the daughter-in-law lives next door. It is not easy to ask the daughter-in-law to clean and unpack the bedding for the parents. If they are married far away, that's it. It's really not a good idea.
There's nothing we can do if we don't go. But we live right next to each other and no one comes to help us. How big of a grudge is this?
Now that the old lady is gone, when Aunt Jin cries, half of the alley hears it. Jin Ximei, who is next door, must have heard her, because she is crying for her mother on the other side of the wall.
Lin Yutong went through these things in his mind, but without stopping, he followed the fourth master's footsteps and entered the east room. Others followed in, and the small room immediately became unbearable.
The old lady was lying flat. Judging from her stiffness, she must have been silent in the middle of the night.
Aunt Jin cried twice and quickly wiped her tears. There are rules for funerals. You are not allowed to cry until you burn the "trash paper". Especially, you are not allowed to shed tears on the deceased. Why is this happening?
It's not very clear. Some old people say that if this is the case, people who want to leave will feel uneasy.
Everyone who heard it in the alley came. This man died and there was a funeral to be held.
Funerals in rural areas have never been a matter for one household. The entire production team has to help when they are free. There are dedicated deacons.
Zhang Langcheng lived at the entrance of the alley, and he acted as the deacon whenever anything happened on the team.
Arrangements are made as soon as the person arrives, but in reality the funeral has to be announced! There is also something special about mourning, that is, the close relatives must report first.
What is considered a close relative? For example, the other rooms in the Jin family are all out of the fifth service, but because they live not far away, they behave like ordinary people when nothing happens, but if something happens, as a relative, they have to notify
.
No matter how you put it, these are all ‘family members’.
After the funeral is over, it is the turn of the married daughter. For example, in the Jin family, there are three married aunts who have to mourn. One is Jin Ximei, one is Jin Xiju, and the other is Jin Xilan.
Zhang Langcheng arranged for people, "It's not far away! Da Meizi is next door, Erju is in Shangqin, and Sanlan is in Potou."
Shangqin and Potou are both villages seven or eight miles away from Pingan Town. These young men just walked there and came back soon.
All the people who arranged it were gone, and when Jin Ximei wanted to announce her funeral, Aunt Jin exploded, "No! Why should I announce her funeral? I'm not afraid of people knowing, and she will never even think about visiting the Jin family in her whole life."
A married daughter will not be allowed to come back for the funeral even if her parents die unless she receives a funeral report from her mother's family.
Just like Jin Ximei now, she heard that her mother had died a long time ago. After crying in the yard, she ran to the door to cry. She looked at the busy people coming in and out. She couldn't go there without announcing the funeral to her.
Her sister-in-law was scolding her at home and refused to announce her funeral. Jin Ximei's mouth moved, but she couldn't say a word.
The matter came to a standstill.
We couldn't agree on the funeral arrangements, and we couldn't burn the paper when everyone was present. If we couldn't burn the paper, it wouldn't be a formal funeral. We couldn't wash and change clothes for the old lady.
But it's already hard. It's very difficult to wear it now. It's not a good idea to leave it like this.
Zhang Langcheng couldn't reason with a woman, so he went to Jin Ximin, the old man, "... Brother, how can we talk about the past... At least I fooled the old lady into being buried first..."
Old Man Jin held his head and said nothing.
Zhang Langcheng knows this about the Jin family. Jin Ximin is not very capable, but what do you say? How many friends does Qin Hui have? What's more, Jin Ximin is just a coward, honest and incompetent, and he is not evil.
A thoughtful person. He really has a few close comrades. Even after he came back from the army, he has always kept in touch. His son was able to help him greatly when he got married, which shows that the relationship is still strong. It's not like they haven't helped before.
That year, a comrade-in-arms stopped by to see him. The comrade-in-arms couldn't bear the way his family's life was going. He said that he couldn't help with anything else. Do you think this will work? I think it will work for your second boy. This boy will take care of him.
You can't go wrong if you work in the army to earn a living, and you can have a good temper. Even if you can't stay in the army in the future, if you regain your professional skills, you will have the status of a cadre when you come back.
This is really a big help.
There's no need to hesitate about such a good thing. Just do it.
Jin Laoer was originally a gangster, fighting and running around wildly. He had a strong physique and passed the test. His comrade said that the conditions met the recruitment standards of the Air Force.
Although there was someone in the middle who had a good reputation, Jin Laoer's own quality was quite good. Not only did he not make it difficult, he also said that he had selected talents for the army.
It's a good thing, everyone should be happy.
But somehow Jin Ximei found out about this, so she came over and told her father and her brother, "...The Jin family owes me my life. If they hadn't sold me at a good price back then, the Jin family would have been hungry."
I'll die several times. You have to pay me back...and don't want anything else, just this quota as a soldier..."
She has two sons, Zheng Youliang and Zheng Youyou.
Zheng Youliang and Jin Mancheng are the same age, and Zheng Youyou is half a year older than Jin Manchuan. The cousins are close in age, "I asked Youliang to go for Chuanzi..."
Isn't this a joke?
Who can agree?
Jin Ximei has always been ruthless and a ruthless person. She also said, "If you don't ask my son to take over, that's fine. Don't worry about her disrespect. I will go to the recruiting place tomorrow and tell them, my eldest brother
It used to be the KMT, but now it is still connected with Taiwan. I wonder if they want you two..."
Isn't this nonsense?
If Jin Ximin had such ability, he wouldn't be able to live like this.
But in those years, who cared about this? In special times, innocent people were said to be spies and counter-revolutionaries. What's more, the reports from relatives were very convincing.
That's really not looking for a future, that's looking for the life of the whole family.
Old Man Jin couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out how things could have turned out like this.
After Jin Ximei said that, she turned around and went home. Her brother couldn't figure it out. As a result, that night, old man Jin couldn't think of anything and jumped into the well. If he really jumped, it would be fine if he died. Once he died, he wouldn't be afraid of involving his children and grandchildren.
.
Fortunately, the team's tofu mill grinded tofu at night and used a lot of water. They had to pull water one after another. When I was lifting water from the well, I felt that my hands were heavy, so I quickly called for someone to pull him up and give him first aid.
Okay, finally the person was saved.
Counting now, that was all five or six years ago.
Think about how much Aunt Jin hated her sister-in-law. At that time, the eldest brother was just an adult and the fifth child was only about ten years old. There was an elder and a younger one. If the man died like this, how could the family survive?
At this point, Jin Ximei didn't let go.
I had no choice but to ask the eldest son of the Zheng family to go.
When the eldest son of the Zheng family joined the army, his name was not Zheng Youliang, but Jin Manchuan.
The comrade knew about this, and he accepted it by leaving the relationship. But admitting it meant admitting it. Zheng Youliang had been in the army for three years and was demobilized without any promotion.
Jin Ximei immediately arranged a marriage for her son. The girl in this family had a birthmark the size of an egg on her face. It was not good-looking, but her uncle was in the armed forces. The marriage was guaranteed, and Zheng Youliang was demobilized and reassigned.
A good place to go is the court.
Demobilized soldiers generally go to the public security department more often. This court is actually similar, with judicial police.
Not only did he become a policeman, but his previous file name was Jin Manchuan. Later, he added a piece of proof of adoption, saying that he adopted the Jin family's child into the Zheng family and changed his name to Zheng Youliang.
Cleanse away the bits of the past.
Today's personnel files are different from those of later generations, especially during that decade, with a lot of confusion.
Anyway, he was a decent man with status and background who worked in the court. The other was a country man who couldn't even afford a wife and almost hired a wife.
There was no one to investigate, so the matter remained in confusion.
If you think of this, do you think this woman from the Jin family should be angry?
Yes! I feel like taking a bite out of this sister-in-law!
But time has passed. Is it interesting to chew on those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things in the past?
Everyone knows that the Zheng family is not authentic, but who says anything about the Zheng family?
The Zheng family is powerful and their life is good. The sons of the Zheng family are promising. At most, they can say a wicked thing behind their backs. No one can say anything else on the surface. Anyone who wants to curry favor with the Zheng family should still
He advised: "Okay! It's not easy at all. It's better to dissolve enemies than to make them! If you don't sow bad causes, you won't get bad results."
It means that Mr. Jin sold his daughter first, so don't blame others for not being honest.
The human mouth has two skins, black and white, right and wrong, it all depends on how you turn it.
Old Man Jin opened his mouth, which was full of bitterness. He asked himself to say words of forgiveness, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Aunt Jin gave Old Man Jin a fierce look and said, "If you dare to agree today, I will fight you endlessly. After the threat was over, I got busy again. There are many things to prepare. The clothes for burial are still there."
No, I have to quickly ask someone to pull the fabric, and ask a tailor to come in and make it fresh. There is also a complete set of things for covering the pavement and the coffin. With so many helpers, where do the food for the family, rice, noodles, rape, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar come from?
Come? There is also a coffin... This has to be arranged by the man, but where can I borrow the money from? There are all major things that need to be done urgently.
Seeing the old woman busy, Old Man Jin sighed, women can be willful, but men can't. This matter must be done.
Zhang Langcheng saw that he was in trouble, so he turned around and sent someone away, calling the second son of the Jin family who was busy.
Jin Manchuan couldn't care less about being sad. The old lady was relieved now. He was busy, looking for someone to see who had good wood. He had to get it quickly and find a carpenter. The coffin had to be made.
If there is an elderly person in the family who is in this condition and age, they have already prepared their clothes, clothing, and birthday materials. Life and death are important events in life, especially death.
But the situation at home has only been a little better in the past month or two. A happy event has just been held, and there are many happy events in the family. No one paid attention to it, and they didn't think about it at all.
Who would have expected that the old lady would come so suddenly.
If you are caught off guard, you have to prepare a lot.
When Zhang Langsheng shouted, he thought it was a matter of money, "Fourth Brother is going to take care of it. The money will be sent to you in a while. If you want to add anything, just ask someone to do it..."
That's not what Zhang Langcheng said. Although he was embarrassed, he still said, "...it's your aunt's side..."
After saying this, Jin Manchuan understood and stood silently with his lips pursed.
Zhang Langcheng took out the cigarettes and handed one over. The little old man, who was not tall, leaned over to light the cigarette and whispered: "Kuanzi, if I don't say any unnecessary words of persuasion, I will just listen to you. This mourning is...
To report or not to report?”
Jin Manchuan's hand holding the cigarette was shaking. He knew what he was talking about, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Fate is so fucked up, it always takes a sharp turn at unexpected times.
He brought the cigarette to his mouth and inhaled hard. After three or two puffs, the cigarette reached the bottom. He didn't let go until his fingers were burned, and the cigarette butt fell to the ground. He crushed it hard with his foot and removed it from his teeth.
After sewing, he spat out one word: "Report!"
Zhang Langcheng gave a thumbs up, "Man!"
What a real man!
Even at such an old age as Lao Jintou, he just couldn't get over this obstacle in his heart. But how old was Jin Laoer? He was only in his early twenties. It was when he was young and energetic, and as the person who suffered the most at that time, he gritted his teeth and put it all aside.
I swallowed my breath.
The belly is big and there is nothing that cannot be accommodated in the belly!
"Okay!" Zhang Langcheng praised, opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Go away, someone, Kawako said, ask someone to announce the funeral for his aunt, the old lady is gone -"
As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent, followed by wails.
Aunt Jin and Sister-in-law Jin Ximei started crying hoarsely in one yard and outside the other.
Mr. Jin, who was lying in the east room and had never spoken a word, slapped his thigh, burst into laughter, and kept cheering.
Lin Yutong learned about this intermittently from Yingzi's mouth, and couldn't help but look at Jin Manchuan again.
In a different place, there are really not many people who can really achieve the level of Jin Manchuan.
The sisters and sisters-in-law were sitting on the kang, making bedding for the old lady with their own hands.
While I was doing this, the deacon outside shouted, "Everyone who is supposed to come has come, burn the paper on your head..."
Follow the fourth master and kneel by the kang in the east room.
Aunt Jin knelt in front, her voice high. The three sisters-in-law were not far behind, each crying louder than the last.
There was a lean old man in his seventies. He placed a broken porcelain basin next to the kang, put the coins and a piece of hemp paper in it, lit it, and then used a wooden stick to pull it until it burned out.
Shouting: "People fall to their knees - filial sons and wise grandsons burn paper - kowtow -"
The three heads kowtowed and the crying stopped.
Get up! This is when the funeral officially begins.
The fourth master gave a hundred yuan to the ceremony room, and all the funeral expenses were paid from here.
Aunt Jin opened the cabinet and took out two bundles of homespun cloth that she had woven by herself. They said it was white, but in fact it was just slightly yellowed homespun cloth. She took a ruler and measured it. Six feet is enough for a coat, and five feet is enough.
I can make a pair of trousers. This is used to make mourning clothes. The grandchildren and their daughters-in-law all have three-foot white headbands, and Aunt Jin gives them to her son and daughter-in-law one by one. When it comes to Yingzi and Lin Yutong, Aunt Jin only sees six feet and six feet five.
After going back and forth, I finally looked at the height of the two daughters-in-law, and found that they were half a foot wider. Just because of the extra half-foot of cloth, Lin Yutong felt the embarrassment of her fat aunt being rejected by her mother-in-law for being too tall.
Once you get this thing, you have to make it quickly.
He Xiaowan, who didn't know how to sew, asked Peach Blossom Girl for help. Lin Yutong sat closely and sewed the fourth master and herself. Yingzi's hands and feet were so fast that even the fifth child had to do it.
This thing doesn't require any fine craftsmanship, it just needs to be wearable.
While we were busy here, there was a commotion in the east room again.
What's the fuss about?
Isn’t this the old lady’s burial clothes? She needs someone to buy the materials and ask a tailor to make them freshly, but it will probably have to wait until tomorrow morning. Now after dressing the old lady, the three daughters will dress the old lady.
Peach Blossom Girl knew that Aunt Jin couldn't see Da Mei, so she took the initiative to explain, "...I bought them all, and I'm making them..."
Da Mei didn't say anything, Er Ju was busy combing the old lady's hair, but San Lanzi was not happy, "I just bought it now, what have I done? My mother is so hard-core, there are more than ten people in the family,
No one found it. How did you serve me?"
This is a bit unscrupulous to say.
Aunt Jin has a bad temper, and sometimes she is not nice to her mother-in-law. But if she is not filial and does not serve her well, it can be seen by her neighbors and those who live in the same alley.
I don’t even think about it, the old lady has been paralyzed for so many years, and the Jin family is living like that. She didn’t starve to death or freeze to death in these years, she died in her sleep, what else could she do?
Is it so easy to serve someone who can't move?
Eating, drinking and having sex has been the same for more than ten years. After entering these granddaughter-in-laws, I won’t talk about the boss’s family. If the remaining three granddaughter-in-laws are not good, you can find a good one!
But you, my dear daughters, let alone Damei, let alone the grievances and grievances of the past, you just can't get in. Have you ever seen your parents through the window outside? Nowadays, this kind of house is built next to the alley.
Yes, the window is open facing the alley. The thatched cottage is already small, and there is a bluestone slab under the window. Normally, when everything is fine, people like to sit on it and chat. You can just stand on it and say something to your mother through the window.
Well, this can be regarded as your filial piety. But what about you? Your mother heard you talking and called you, but you didn't even say yes.
Erju is pretty good. Every time you come to the market, you know how to buy two oil cakes for your mother. This is considered as your filial piety. Your sister-in-law and nephews also say that her second aunt is good. If she starts to choose
If you dislike this, let's just settle it. What's wrong with you Sanlanzi?
Good guy, I don’t come to my house even once a year, but I do come during the Chinese New Year. I come empty-handed, take my whole family to eat and drink, and then leave after eating.
What do you have to choose? How dare you choose?
Several older women in the alley began to criticize her one by one.
Lin Yutong took her mother-in-law, who was about to explode on the spot, to the woodshed in the backyard. With needlework in her hand, she advised: "Mom! We are the ones in charge. Just handle my milk matter properly. I won't follow."
They are noisy and make people laugh."
Aunt Jin sat on the firewood pile, lifting her clothes and wiping her tears and nose, "You three aunts are the worst things..."
She began to tell her daughter-in-law about the old sesame seeds and rotten millet things in the past, "...Yes! Your father is that person, and it is unlucky to meet this father. But to be honest, the old man gave your third aunt the time
The person I chose is not bad. I have a little bit of mobility in my legs and feet, and I can’t really see it when I walk. It’s the sequelae of the injury, and it doesn’t affect my work. It doesn’t affect anything. I was working at a grain station, and fell off the grain stack, and that’s why I became like that.
It was considered a work injury, and she was already paid. Later, because of that, the employer seemed to give her a monthly subsidy of several yuan. She is seven years older than her, which is not particularly old. Otherwise, why would they marry her?
.The result was good. She disliked her family’s unsatisfactory upbringing. Within a few months of her marriage, she fell in love with a rough guy from the opposite door of her husband’s family. That rough guy is now your third uncle..."
Lin Yutong: "..." I really don't know about this. The old lady doesn't like to talk to children about this.
But this third aunt is not taking the usual path. Why did she get close to the opposite door of her husband's family, and now she is the third uncle? She must have remarried to the opposite door after the divorce.
For ordinary people, this would be very embarrassing.
Aunt Jin let out a 'poof', "...you know how embarrassed your dad and I were when we were invited! That man went to work, and she had an affair with your current uncle, and was raped by her original parents-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother
She was pressed under the quilt." As she spoke, she slapped her mouth, "It feels dirty to say it! She was pregnant with the child at the time, and her body was only six months old... so she got under the quilt with others... I'll tell you
Dad was called, and she was naked. They said they were going to call the police. The man came back and brought people from the security department of the grain station... You think this is going to cause a lot of trouble.
It's embarrassing. As for your father, he had to talk to others and got on his knees. In the end, he begged a comrade. The comrade asked his comrade to ask a middleman to settle the matter. The two of them divorced.
They don’t want the child in the belly. Who knows whose it belongs to! Your father was kind at the time and said that if he couldn’t wait until the child was born, he could keep it with our family so that she could remarry and find someone else. But what about her? It’s a matter of life or death.
When I came back, I moved into the house opposite my original husband's house the same day."
The man who originally tolerated the situation must have been completely embarrassed. No one with any sense of shame would be able to do such a thing.
There is another thing in this world that can kill people invisible, and that is - human words.
This rare thing was probably spread all over the country at that time. But this third aunt was still able to live her own life amidst such pointing fingers. It must be said that she was a strange person.
Aunt Jin said with a bit of ridicule and schadenfreude, "Guess what? My husband's family over there later found another girl. That girl was better looking than her, and she was also better at being a good person. Within two years, the man found a way
I got the wife I married later to work in the canteen of the grain station. I don’t know how, but later she became a regular worker. Now she is in the county town. Sons are being born one after another over there, but here she is
?I walked in with my belly, and I didn’t know whose child it was. It was a daughter. Later, I gave birth to a son. You just saw me. He is one year older than the fifth child and is about to marry a wife. Unfortunately, he was born lame.
, now the lameness is even worse. The people below are all girls, five of them! The youngest is sitting on the door pillar, who knows if she is four or three years old. Poor! The girl in her family who was born with a belly,
Last year, it was like being sold. An 18-year-old girl found a 38-year-old girl. She is even more cruel than her father back then."
As he spoke, his eyes became a little complicated, "She... is far behind compared to her eldest sister!"
Da Meizi doesn't care how ruthless she is, it's all for her own children.
Where is Sanlanzi? Damn it!
As he was talking, footsteps came from outside. Aunt Jin sniffed and said, "It's your eldest brother..."
Sure enough, Jin Mancheng's voice rang out, "Mom, are you in there?"
"Where can I go if I'm not here?" Aunt Jin wiped her face, stood up and asked, "What happened again?"
Jin Mancheng looked relieved, "I thought you were here, Mom. I felt unhappy and ran here to cry. I was afraid that you would break down from crying. Come and have a look."
Aunt Jin's voice softened, "Why don't you be happy? You can't be angry with those two guys."
Jin Mancheng nodded, "I also hate my third aunt the most. At that time, I took Chuanzi to the street to pick up food. My third aunt and my third uncle were eating at a mutton restaurant. When they saw us, they hurriedly got into the back with a bowl.
He went to the kitchen and pretended that we didn't see him. My second aunt is kind and always makes me something to eat."
Aunt Jin's voice became calmer, "Just keep it in mind..."
As the mother and son spoke, they walked away.
Lin Yutong was a little stunned. It was not unreasonable for the mother-in-law to prefer the boss.
I would like to ask which son can be as caring as this to his mother? Absolutely not!
No matter how angry I was a few days ago, if I think of the suffering my son has suffered, and look at how considerate he is now, how much more angry can I get? What can't be forgiven?
She shook her head secretly, this boss Jin was not stupid at all!
Wear mourning clothes and trousers, wrap the mourning cloth on your head, and put a layer of white cloth on the shoes on your feet and simply sew them on. The clothes can be sewn in two hours, and the thick needles and big feet can be put on without falling off.
Already.
By the time she asked the Fourth Master and the two of them to change into clothes, they had not yet finished worrying about dressing up the old lady.
Sanlanzi was fussy and fussy, but she couldn't help but dress the old lady well. Finally, the little old lady came and brought over what she had already prepared for herself, a big bundle, all kinds of good fabrics and needlework, "
I have small feet, your mother has big feet..." The little old man talked to San Lanzi in a good temper, "Your mother has many new shoes. Yingzi made several pairs and kept them in the cabinet. Just pick up a pair.
It’s all good when it comes out…”
The old lady was a person who could ride a horse and whip a whip, so she must have big feet.
The clothes prepared by the little old lady were also good, with a five-piece set on the top and a three-piece set on the bottom. "Including shoes, socks, and hats, there are eleven pieces in total." The peach blossom girl was envious, "Not even the old rich man's family was so decent before.
Pretend to be buried…”
Lin Yutong rubbed the little old lady's back, as if to say, I will prepare better things for you in the future.
The little old lady patted her granddaughter and said, "You're fine, I'm going back."
"If you are too busy, ask my grandma to come over and help you." Lin Yutong sent him out of the door worriedly, but it was not easy for her to go there for the first seven days. She is now a member of the Jin family, and there is a funeral in the Jin family. It will take seven days.
You are not allowed to enter a house with a foreign surname.
The little old lady is now considered a serious in-law of the Jin family, and she has also received funeral reports. She will be buried the day after tomorrow, and according to etiquette, she will bring steamed buns with her. Now in the twelfth lunar month, steaming steamed buns and fermented dough is very troublesome.
"I know!" The little old lady waved her hand, stepped on her little feet and went home.
Lin Yutong turned around and went in. The fourth master led a few young men out.
"Why are you going?" she asked after him.
"Go and look at the cemetery." Fourth Master motioned Lin Yutong to stay indoors. It was cold outside. The cemetery is easy to find, just next to Patriarch Jin. The problem is that it is freezing cold and it is not easy to dig a grave.
This is the first time that Lin Yutong has held a funeral like this. In the past, there was either a housekeeper or a etiquette department. Otherwise, it was a simplified cremation process. It is not like now, everything is one by one, and there are rules. You have to worry about it yourself.
.
Yingzi and the others were standing at the door of the east room. Lin Yutong pointed inside, "Why don't you go in?"
"I asked Peach Blossom Girl to dress me up." He Xiaowan shook the goosebumps on her body, "It's not easy to wear!"
It's definitely not easy to wear.
The peach blossom girl is considered a relatively capable person in this field. She helps the deceased bathe and dress up. Afterwards, the host family will give a red envelope. The amount may vary, depending on the situation.
Li Xianer curled her lips and said, "I'm going crazy thinking about money. Earn this money!"
Lin Yutong ignored her, but he felt that people like Taohua Niang actually did things to build virtue. They asked people to leave decently and dressed neatly, and even if they left in the end, they would leave with dignity.
I have serious differences in outlook and don't want to talk to him.
She disliked Li Xian'er so much in her heart that she didn't expect that within two minutes, Lin Yutong would see the useful side of Li Xian'er.
What's going on?
Speaking of which, it is still a matter of poverty.
Didn't Aunt Jin send mourning cloths to her family before? Then the three sisters-in-law who were supposed to wear mourning cloths were not given.
Living in poverty is nothing new. Every family brings mourning relatives from their own homes when there is a funeral. When Erju Shicheng heard that her mother was dead, she still thought
Life was tight at her brother's place, so he brought her whole family with her. Without further ado, after finishing the old lady's dressing, they all put on their mourning clothes. Da Meizi's house was nearby, and she came out as soon as she went back and put on her clothes. Only Sanlan
Son-in-law, there is really no such thing as a poor family. My sister-in-law didn’t give the filial piety cloth as if she didn’t see it.
What do you think we should do?
It was hard to tell her sister-in-law, so she knelt down next to the old lady and cried, "Oh my god, why did you just leave me and leave? Who did you ask me to visit in the future... You
Now that you're gone, who can see your daughter's life being miserable... Oh my god... Lanzi is not filial. I can't afford to be filial to you, so don't blame me... Even poor people look down on you... You're gone
Who is the one who knows the cold and the hot..."
Those who criticize and criticize Huai are saying weird things and are crying in mourning. How can you argue even if you feel angry? Don't you want her to tell her own mother that she has been wronged?
People from inside and outside, three levels inside and three levels outside, are surrounding us, all watching the excitement.
It’s a busy day in the twelfth lunar month, but when I have fun, I watch it with high spirits like I’m watching a play. I don’t care who of you is right or wrong.
The fuss was outrageous, and Lin Yutong wanted to stand up, but before she could move, she heard Li Xianer cry in a high and low voice, "My grandma... Grandma who has suffered all her life... open your eyes."
Open your eyes and take a look... Look at our unprotected children and grandchildren... Without you, no one would dare to come to the door to be an elder... You have lost the face of your ancestors and ruined your family... Some people do not do what they want, and you will be punished.
I am old...my grandma...the grandma who has suffered for others..."
While listening, Lin Yutong looked at the third aunt over there who couldn't cry anymore, and thought to herself: This is really a matter of living and learning. After surviving for several lifetimes, I finally found that there are things that I can't, and probably will never learn.
Thing - crying in mourning!
Whenever I think of being like Li Xian'er, I fold a handkerchief and raise it, lean back 45 degrees and cry twice, lean forward 45 degrees and cry twice, one high and one low, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak.
Oh, she has to go crazy first.
Just as she was lost in thought, she was pinched on the back. When she turned around, she saw it was Peach Blossom Girl. She stared at Lin Yutong and signaled, "Cry, don't you see your sister-in-law?"
