Xiao Yu and his son stayed at Grandma Wang's house for about two hours before bidding farewell to everyone and leaving. However, this night was destined to be uneventful.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly on the hot kang when he heard a rapid knock on the door. Then Xiao Qiang muttered to someone outside and then closed the door.
, left in a hurry.
"Did something happen?" Xiao Yu leaned up and looked out the window, but it was dark outside and he couldn't see anything, so Xiao Yu fell down and took a nap again, but then he heard a cry.
Xiao Yu got up, put on his clothes as quickly as possible, and then ran out. When he arrived at the door of Grandma Wang's house, he saw several young people carrying a coffin coming from a distance! In Grandma Wang's house
At home, the door was wide open, and a group of people were constantly coming in and out. It looked very busy.
After a person dies, the first thing is to take a bath, wipe himself, and put on the shroud. This must be done as soon as the person dies. Otherwise, the body will be stiff and unable to put on the shroud. These tasks must be done
It's the old man's children who do it.
Xiao Yu quickly entered Grandma Wang's house and saw Xiao Qiang writing something somewhere. Xiao Yu knew this and was probably recording some things that needed to be purchased. Because this person died suddenly, he didn't prepare anything.
Even the coffin was borrowed from another family. After the incident, we are looking for a craftsman to make a new one for another old man. Of course, this will require a red cannon.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here? Don't stand in the way," Xiao Qiang shouted.
Xiao Yu came to Xiao Qiang and looked at the things Xiao Qiang had written. Most of them were white cloths and things inside incense candles. Although these things would be brought by the mourners later, the owner still had to prepare more. As for those
The sedan, as well as the boys and girls, all need to be prepared by children, and those in the wreaths are given by better friends.
"Hey, you are really right. Now you are the only one in the village who knows a little bit about these things. Your uncle also told me this morning that he asked you to help take care of it. If you think you need to buy something, I will bring it with you."
Xiao Qiang said to Xiao Yu while writing down what he wanted to buy.
"I don't need anything, I have everything," Xiao Yu said.
"Okay, now they are wiping the old man's body. You can't help here. You should go back. The mourners are coming in the evening. You are coming over."
"Dad, are you going to town?" Xiao Yu said.
"Well, there is no one in the village to help now. I have a motorcycle. I will run for a while first." After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he rolled up the slip he was sitting on and put it in his pocket, just like walking outside.
"Dad, the road is slippery in the snow. Drive slower and remember to wear gloves," Xiao Yu warned.
"I got it, go back quickly and don't stand here anymore."
After Xiao Qiang left, the people who borrowed the coffin had already brought the coffin in, then propped it up on two benches, placed the coffin on top, and then spread a piece of white cloth on top of the coffin.
Xiao Yu watched for a while and was about to go home. As soon as he walked out, he saw the person he least wanted to see, Xiao Xue.
Speaking of Xiao Xue, I am afraid that everyone in the village knows this girl, because she is not only beautiful, but also has a bad temper. When fighting, she is even more brave. Even some junior high school boys are afraid of her, plus Xiao
Yu has a bit of a feud with her, so he usually walks around when he sees her.
Xiao Xue was stunned when she saw Xiao Yu coming out of it, but then she grabbed Xiao Yu. Seeing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly hid behind him, but his reaction was still half a beat too slow, and he was immediately caught by Xiao Xue
I grabbed the cotton-padded jacket on the back.
"Xiao Yu, long time no see, you are very famous now?" Xiao Xue stared at Xiao Yu with a cynical attitude.
"Haha, sister Xiao Xue, you too, after half a year of not seeing each other, you have become more beautiful."
When Xiao Xue heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. She couldn't help but let go of Xiao Yu's clothes and said, "Not bad, your mouth has become sweeter, but it's useless even if you have a sweet mouth. I told you to hit you once and for all, so be prepared today."
Is it done yet?”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he became alert and couldn't help but take two steps back. "Sister Xiao Xue, I didn't mean to see you going to the toilet. You were squatting in the cornfield and everyone saw it. Why did you catch me?"
put?"
"Shut up, I'm going to catch you, why don't you bite me?" Xiao Xue blushed, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Xiao Yu and shouted in a low voice.
Xiao Yu's first reaction now was to run, but he also knew that he was dressed like a rice dumpling, so there was no way he could outrun this long-legged woman, so he had to think of some way.
At this moment, there was a burst of crying in Grandma Wang's house. Xiao Yu knew that Grandma Wang was about to be buried in the coffin! So he also cried loudly and walked towards Grandma Wang's coffin.
"Grandma Wang, if you leave, who will prepare delicious food for me in the future, Grandma Wang...".
Xiao Yu cried so sadly that Xiao Xue couldn't help but feel a little moved. He followed Xiao Yu, lay down at the door and glanced at it, then quickly retracted his head. After all, he was a girl and had never seen this scene before. Today
If it weren't for his father's help, she would have followed him out of curiosity, and she might not have met Xiao Yu.
Grandma Wang was wearing a shroud and was being carried by her son. The daughters-in-law behind him were crying together, and the two granddaughters were following behind the adult, sobbing non-stop.
Xiao Yu knelt beside the coffin, crying and secretly looking at Xiao Xue. When he saw that Xiao Xue was gone, he was about to run away quickly, but didn't want to see Grandma Wang being carried out of the coffin. At this time, Xiao Yu's nose became sore.
, couldn't help sobbing again. At this time, Xiao Yu was not pretending, but really felt sad.
"Hmph, this little thing is just pretending and wants to deceive me. Let me see how long you can cry." Xiao Xue stood at the door, listening to Xiao Yu's voice, and couldn't help but snorted.
Speaking of the grievances between Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuezhi, we have to talk about it from a year ago. When the corn was harvested, Xiao Yu and a group of children were playing hide and seek in the field, but they didn't want to catch Xiao Xue having diarrhea.
There was no toilet in the house, so she hid in the cornfield for convenience. Xiao Yu and the others happened to bump into Xiao Xue in the cornfield, so they became grudges.
Xiao Xue said at that time that she would see Xiao Yu beaten again and again until he was no longer visible. This incident became a joke in the village at that time, and many old people and children knew about it.
"Xiao Yu, get up, your Grandma Wang didn't hurt you in vain, get up quickly," Grandma Wang's daughter-in-law sobbed.
Being pulled by Aunt Li, Xiao Yu hurriedly kowtowed three times before standing up, but his eyes were already red.
"Aunt Li, Grandma Wang will definitely be reborn into a good family in her next life. Don't be sad."
"Well, Aunt Li knows! By the way, you came suddenly last night. Did you know that your Grandma Wang was leaving last night?".
Aunt Li suddenly thought of Xiao Yu's visit to the house last night. Coupled with Xiao Yu's ability, she had already guessed a few things, so she hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No, I just haven't seen Grandma Wang for a long time, so I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen."
Although Xiao Yu is young, he is not stupid. He is a good living person. If he says that someone is about to die, he is looking for trouble. If he encounters those with a bad temper, he will probably be beaten.
