Volume 4, Chapter 88, Yu Fan buries his father
After that night, Qin's father's funeral entered **. Chen Yongfu and the male filial sons of the Qin family all gathered in front of Qin's father's mourning hall to offer food to Qin's father.
As the meal offering progressed, the table was gradually filled with gifts. I saw that on the table at this time: at the very end of the table, there was a large candle on the left and right, and the flame on the candle was gently swaying with the breeze. Around the "mourning hall", there is a circle of colored lanterns. It is shining brightly and shining.
In front of the "mourning hall", Chen Yongfu and some of the main relatives of the Qin family were forming a circle to offer "tribute" to Qin's father. On the opposite side of the "mourning hall", a group of drummers are shaking their heads and blowing music. Next to them, a middle-aged man with a video camera, was filming all these phenomena in the room.
Not far from the "mourning hall", there are several tables side by side. There were several people around the table, and they were playing "mahjong". Beside a few of them, there were several people watching the excitement. While looking at the cards, they were doing "counselors" to the people who played the cards.
Next to the other tables, some people were drinking tea and smoking cigarettes. Some people are talking "gossip" one after another, and some are still sitting there in twos and threes, blowing nonsense.
All in all, the atmosphere in the entire Qin family's compound was both lively and a little chaotic.
The cries, laughter, the sound of the band, and the noise of the guests in the entire courtyard set off the entire Qin family compound to be very lively.
It wasn't until after midnight that the lively atmosphere in the courtyard and outside gradually quieted down, and after seeing that the time had reached midnight, everyone began to pack up their things, waiting for the funeral to proceed early the next morning, and the funeral of Qin's father was carried out early. I saw dozens of cars of all sizes lined up on the street outside the gate of the Qin family. In the courtyard of the Qin family, all the things that were going to send Qin's father on the road were moved to the car.
With everything ready, after setting off a firecracker and burning some "paper people and paper horses", the convoy escorting Qin's father's hearse finally set off slowly.
After the convoy drove out of the street in front of the door, it slowly drove on Dongfeng Street, the most prosperous and longest street in City A.
I saw that more than 20 cars of all sizes were lined up in a zigzag shape, slowly driving from west to east.
At the front of the convoy was a milky white Tianjin Daihatsu. On the front of the car hangs an extra-large white flower. The rear door of the car is open. Inside, a middle-aged man in his thirties is filming everything on camera.
In second place was a blue Beijing 130 passenger and cargo vehicle. There was also a white flower hanging from the front of the car. In the back compartment of the car sat a dozen drummers. One by one, they were puffing out their cheeks and shaking their heads and blowing "music".
In third place is a blue "Liberation 141" truck, which also has a large white flower hanging on the front. The difference is that the front of the car is wrapped in a "black veil". On the carriage in the back, Qin's father's coffin was placed in the middle. Around the coffin sat the two Qin Yufan sisters and Chen Yongfu, as well as important relatives of the Qin family.
I saw that Qin Yufan and Qin Yunan's sisters were dressed in heavy filial piety, lying on Qin's father's coffin and crying, their voices were hoarse. Chen Yongfu, who was standing beside the two of them, was holding Qin Yufan with one hand and lying on Qin's father's coffin with the other, his face was also full of tears.
Next to the three of them, the main relatives gathered around Qin's father's coffin were also crying loudly. These people, except for the three of them, who were sincerely crying Father Qin, the rest of them were all acting like they. Some of them are really crying, and some are pretending to cry. Some of them were still secretly looking around. Anyway, they all have voices and tears, and they are all howling.
No matter what, there was also a cry on the hearse.
On the dozen or so cars lined up behind the hearse, each with a white flower hanging in front of it. There were some relatives and friends of the Qin family sitting in the car. Wreaths were placed around them, and all the people in the car wore a small white flower on their chests and black veils around their arms. Each of them had different expressions. We won't go into detail here.
The convoy escorting the hearse is slowly driving from west to east on "Dongfeng Street", the longest and most prosperous street in City A.
When the "hearse" passed, the crying along the way, the sound of firecrackers, and the music of the band formed a beautiful movement, and the vocal music was endless, which made people have endless aftertaste.
After the hearse, the paper money scattered from the hearse fell one after another like snowflakes, and the people who watched were dazzled.
Behind the hearse, a dozen children are scrambling to pick up unburned firecrackers and paper money on the ground. These people are fighting for each other, and they are making trouble.
"Heh!" Qin Yufan's family's move caused a sensation on the entire Dongfeng Street. One by one, they all stopped what they were doing and watched these lively scenes. Several of them were still watching the excitement while counting how many cars there were. There were also some people talking about the hearse......
"Heh, whose family is doing the funeral?" Why is this so magnificent? Why are there so many cars to see them off? Looking at the frame of their house, it is certainly not an ordinary ordinary person. Their families are either rich or powerful. Otherwise, how could the funeral be so magnificent. “
Some of them, who didn't know what was going on, were talking about the convoy and guessing wildly.
And those who knew about the Qin family began to discuss the cause of Qin's father's death one after another.
"You said that it is strange that this old man Qin died, and he played mahjong with a few of us two days ago! The old man looked very sturdy at that time, and he did not look sick in the slightest, so why did he suddenly die of illness? Alas! There are really unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck! There are no old and young people on the Yin Cao Road, who knows what the road will be like in the future...... .
A pair of old men who lived not far from Qin Yufan's house even discussed the cause of Qin's father's death......
"Lao Li, do you say that this man's life is predestined? This old man Qin is only 56 years old this year, two years younger than me! How did he die at such a young age? What a pity! This old man has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he has just said that his life is better in the past few years, and he is ready to enjoy the blessings of his children! I didn't expect to die so soon. Isn't it a shame that you were born to be this miserable person?"
"Lao Zhang, I heard that this old Qin Tou is very temperamental and has very strict requirements for his family. When the old man was dying, it seemed that after a fierce quarrel with his little daughter, he got sick and died, and I heard that it seemed that his little daughter was hooked up with some man, and the result was that she was unmarried and pregnant. Old Man Qin couldn't stand this blow, so he was angry. Alas, now these sons and daughters, it is hard to say......"
"He's a little daughter, I don't know how much the old man has been angry, I heard that she once had a hot fight with a married man, which caused the two of them to be separated. The man went to jail for this and has not yet come out. Now I don't know that I'm getting involved with that man again! Alas! I really can't raise her, my father's fault! The old man just made her angry to death......
There were two old ladies, pointing at Qin Yufan, who were also discussing......
"Sister Li, look at how sad that girl in white is crying! I heard that this girl is a well-known filial daughter in this area! I heard that she works as an accountant in some unit and is in charge of the money box of several thousand people in the whole unit, otherwise, she would have been able to give her father such a lively "big event." I also have such a good daughter like her......"
"Yes! If I had a good daughter like her, I would burn incense! I heard that her son-in-law was some kind of engineer in her unit. I get a salary of nearly 1,000 yuan a month, which is worth my son's salary for nearly three months. No wonder their family's funeral will be so big, alas! If only I could live so solemnly after I died!"
"Hey, Sister Li, that's not necessarily? Maybe after you die, your children will be even more grand than hers? Aren't one of your children on the "human road"?"
"Ahem, sister, don't mention my children, my children, if one of them can catch up with half of this girl, I will burn high incense......."
The men pointed at the hearse and began to talk about it.
However, the convoy escorting Qin's father's hearse was still slowly driving on Dongfeng Street, the longest and most prosperous street in City A, amid people's discussions.
At the back of the convoy, more than a dozen teenage children followed. One by one, they were chasing the "convoy" with a giggle. While following closely behind the "convoy", he picked up firecrackers and paper money that had not yet been set off on the ground. These children are fighting for each other, and they are making a lot of trouble.
Gradually, the convoy escorting the hearse finally gradually drove out of the bustling Dongfeng Street. After turning a right corner at the head of the "small bridge", the car turned around again, slowly left the bustling downtown and drove towards a small "mound" in the southeast direction of City A.
After the "convoy" escorting Qin's father's hearse left City A, it followed a winding mountain road to a dirt slope called "Longwei Slope" in the southeast of City A.
Qin's father's tomb is located on the mountainside of a mound, not far from the road. It is condescending, only 5 km from the center of A. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of City A.
When the convoy escorting Qin's father's tomb came to Qin's father's cemetery, they were fascinated by the scenery of the cemetery. So they stopped and couldn't stop admiring the view of the cemetery.
