Holding funerals during the Spring Festival is easy to say and not nice to hear.
But Xu Tongdao didn't care about this. After taking the urn of his father Xu Weixi back to his new home in the county, he ordered people to find a Taoist priest and prepare to hold a three-day funeral for his father in accordance with the customs of his hometown.
How deeply he hated his father Xu Weixi, now that the truth about "Xu Weixi and Bai Meifeng's elopement" has been revealed, how much guilt he feels towards his father in his heart.
Organizing a decent funeral and funeral for his father was a way for him to apologize to his father.
At the same time, it can also clear his father's name and give his mother and others some comfort.
But for him now, all he needs to do is give orders.
Ge Lianghua, Zheng Qing, Xu Tonglin, Tanya, Tan Shi, Xi Dongyang and others all helped to arrange the funeral hall that day.
Then, according to local customs, Ge Lianghua, Xu Tonglu, and Ge Liangcai, who arrived later, each took a black cloth umbrella and went to the homes of old relatives to report the news and invite relatives and elders to attend Xu Weixi's funeral.
.
only……
As time went by, the number of people who came to attend the funeral gradually exceeded Comrade Xu's expectations.
Dear relatives of Xu Tongdao's family, I won't say more.
As long as everyone is notified, there will be no one who doesn't come.
Even if they were not notified occasionally, they would come one after another when they heard about it.
There are also some of his business partners, etc., after hearing about this, some came in person, and some also sent people to express their condolences.
For example, Zhang Fa from Zhiweixuan.
For example, Han Xiaowen.
etc.
The funeral held according to local customs is very lively, with banging, playing, playing and singing, just like a traditional band performing for several days, day and night.
Disturbing people for sure.
But no one will protest.
Because this is basically the case when every family holds a funeral, everyone will understand each other.
So, the morning after the funeral.
According to custom, Bai Jingen's two daughters, Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong, walked into the courtyard of Xu Tongdao's house each carrying a pack of space quilts in their hands and trying to keep a smile on their faces.
Like other people who came to attend the funeral, after entering the courtyard, they took the space quilt they brought with them to register.
The person responsible for collecting and registering the gifts was Xu Hengchun, the head of Xujia Village.
Originally, when he was in Xujia Village, no matter which family held a funeral, Xu Hengchun, as the village chief, would not be able to do it, nor would he bother to help any family with the work of collecting gifts and registering.
As far as he is concerned, he is the village chief and his status is different.
How could you go to that kind of thing just to have a few meals?
Occasionally, villagers would like to invite him to dinner, but it would depend on his mood.
But this time...
He took the initiative to come to Comrade Xu and took the job.
And his ability to take on this job was not entirely dependent on his face.
His calligraphy is good.
For each gift he received, he had to use a brush to write down the identity of the gift giver on a long white piece of paper.
He had just asked people to take over the space quilts brought by Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong, and he habitually dipped his pen in ink, preparing to write down the identities of the two sisters.
"May I ask your surnames?"
Xu Hengchun raised his pen and raised his face to ask.
Bai Xiaohong: "This... we..."
As a sister, she is hesitant.
When Bai Yuehong, her younger sister, saw her, she subconsciously took a step forward and said with a smile: "Her name is Bai Xiaohong, and my name is Bai Yuehong. Sir, just write it like this."
Xu Hengchun nodded and reached out to Bai Yuehong to write their names on the exercise book in front of her.
At this moment, Bai Jingjing, who had been helping here for the past two days, happened to pass by not far away. She had already walked several steps past, when she suddenly stopped and turned around with a frown.
When she saw sisters Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong, Bai Jingjing's expression changed.
Becoming very weird.
She felt incredible.
Are you here today to see these two sisters?
"What are they doing here? A cat crying over a mouse? That's not right! They shouldn't have the guts..."
Bai Jingjing muttered to herself, then suddenly raised her feet and walked towards Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong quickly.
From afar, he asked: "Sister Xiaohong, Sister Yuehong! Why are you here? No matter what you want to do here today, I advise you to leave as soon as possible! I am doing it for your own good!"
Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong turned around and saw Bai Jingjing.
The faces of the two sisters changed slightly.
Bai Xiaohong was surprised: "Jingjing? Are you here too?"
Bai Yuehong looked alert and had suspicious eyes, "Bai Jingjing? Why are you here? Oh, by the way! I remembered, you work in Boss Xu's company, right? I've heard of it."
Bai Jingjing's smile was very light, but the sense of alienation in her faint smile was so strong and obvious.
"Yes! I work in Mr. Xu's company."
After saying that, she said to Xu Hengchun and others who were looking at her: "Don't accept the things they send. President Xu will be very unhappy! Because they are Bai Jingen's daughters and biological children!"
Xu Hengchun: "..."
Others: “…”
surprise!
Xu Hengchun and others were all shocked. They looked at Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong in surprise. Who would have thought that they were Bai Jingen's biological daughters, and what about Bai Jingen? That was one of the main suspects in the murder of Xu Weixi.
In front of him was Xu Weixi's funeral.
On such an occasion, Bai Jingen's two daughters came uninvited. How dare they come?
This courage...
Astonishing.
After reacting, the person who had just received the gift from them immediately returned the two packs of space quilts to them.
Even if they don't want to take it back, they force it back to them.
They are here today to help the Xu family.
But they can't work hard for a few days. In the end, the Xu family doesn't count anything good at all, and the Xu family is angry with them.
The courtyard of the new home prepared by Tongdao Xu in the county town is not very big.
The sounds of what happened in the yard reached Xu Tongdao's ears.
At that time, Xu Tongdao, dressed in linen and mourning, knelt before his father's soul. After every guest came to offer incense in front of the soul, he, as the eldest son of Xu Weixi, had to thank him according to custom.
The sounds coming from the yard and the information revealed in Bai Jingjing's words... made Xu Tongdao frown slightly and whispered to his younger brother Xu Tonglu who was kneeling beside him: "Xiaolu, go and send those two women away.
!If you can’t do it, call the rooster! Hurry up!”
He didn't want Bai Jingen's two daughters to disturb his father's funeral.
Can……
At this moment, Bai Yuehong, who was dressed in white clothes and white trousers, broke away from the obstruction of several people, rushed into the main room of Xu Tongdao's house, and rushed directly to Xu Weixi's coffin.
As soon as she rushed in, she completely ignored the young men who were chasing after her to drive her out. She knelt forward without hesitation.
Kneeling neatly in front of Xu Weixi's soul, he shouted: "I'm not here to cause trouble! I'm not here to cause trouble! I'm here to offer incense to Uncle Xu for my father!"
Everyone else was stunned and didn't know how to react.
Tongdao Xu slowly straightened up and looked at Bai Yuehong who was kneeling straight in front of the mourning hall with a cold face.
