Who knew that on the day of duty, Ma Feiyang received a call from Jiang Chuan, it turned out that his grandmother had died, and then Zhou Daqing, Wang Chuanggu, Zhiming, and Wang Jianwu all called to ask when they were going to go.

In the evening, Ma Feiyang went home to discuss with Wang Meilin that he would help the river boat in the past two days, but he was afraid that he would delay the trip. Wang Meilin said: "Let's go back after traveling, the matter of dead people is important." ”

Early the next morning, Ma Feiyang, Zhou Daqing and others went to Jiangchuan's house to burn down the head paper, Jiangchuan was the eldest grandson of the family, kneeling in the mourning hall, whining and crying. The river boat was brought up by his grandmother, and he has the deepest relationship with his grandmother, and now that his grandmother is gone, he is the saddest one. Seeing that the best brothers were coming, the river boat stopped crying and came out to greet him. The house was in a mess, and there was no place to sit, so I could only stand and talk. Ma Feiyang and the others learned about the time of the crane, and said goodbye to the river boat.

The next day is the hanging, Ma Feiyang, Zhou Daqing and others came over early in the morning, in fact, there are not many things, but people have to be present, on the one hand, to prevent accidents, on the other hand, to reflect the large number of people and the big scene to show that the main family has face.

The drummers had already arrived, and the loudspeakers had reached the treetops and rooftops, and the sound could be sent two miles away. The drummer is a team, not only blowing, beating, singing, crying, and even dancing.

At about ten o'clock, the main family began to welcome the pig's head, and there were many sisters of the riverboat father, and there were many pig's heads sent. The pig's head is usually a mile away, and the pig's head is placed on a large table, carried by four people, followed by filial sons and grandsons who wear linen and wear filial piety. The drummer walked at the front of the line, and the one who played the big trumpet bore the brunt, and I saw him holding his head high and his neck straight, holding the trumpet high, the horn facing the sky, and the two cheeks puffing one after another, sometimes shaking their heads, to prove how devoted and hard he was blowing.

The sides of the line were crowded with people watching the excitement, and there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, nothing more than talking about how many pigs' heads are and how big are pigs' heads. A pig's head welcomes once, and these filial sons and grandsons have to welcome seven or eight times. At the beginning, the filial sons and grandchildren were still crying, but after three trips, not only the crying was gone, but the expression on their faces became normal, and they all walked slowly with their heads down at first.

More than an hour passed, and the pig's head was finished. The so-called paper sedan chair is that the family members send a variety of daily necessities to the deceased in order to let her enjoy the blessings of the underworld. Ma Feiyang saw that the starting point of welcoming the pig's head just now was already full of various molds, cars, villas, refrigerators, color TVs, all of which were available, and even golden boys and girls, gold and silver mountains. It is said that the golden boy and jade girl are used to serve the master, in short, although the deceased did not enjoy the glory and wealth during his lifetime, but he did enjoy it in the underworld.

These paper sedan chairs are all taken by the family or friends who help, and they must also form a line according to the requirements and follow the drummer. Ma Feiyang stood at the front holding a car, he thought that the car was open, of course he should stand in the front, but his position was wrong, the one in the front should be holding a golden boy and a girl, as for why, Ma Feiyang didn't know.

The team began to move, but the people in front of them were too fast, and the general manager criticized them for walking slowly. It was Zhou Daqing who walked in front, Zhou Daqing scratched his head and smiled: "How slow is it going to be." Ma Feiyang said: "You just follow the rhythm of the music."

So Zhou Daqing followed the rhythm of the drummer step by step, and the general manager smiled: "Hey, by the way, that's how it goes." Wang Chuang smiled and said: "Feiyang, how do you know that this is the way to go?" Where did Ma Feiyang know, he just felt that the horn was blowing slowly and logically, and it was estimated that it should not be wrong to cooperate with the horn, but after getting the affirmation of the president, Ma Feiyang showed off: "Why don't you even understand this? ”

At this time, the feast also began, and because of the small number of tables and the large number of guests, it could only be one round after another. Jiangchuan's grandmother died in her nineties, which is a happy funeral, and the visitors not only take away the dishes and chopsticks they eat, but also take advantage of the owner's inattention to steal a few more dishes and chopsticks to take away, and the custom believes that the dishes and chopsticks of joy and mourning represent auspiciousness.

During the meal, Ma Feiyang was next to two women, they were talking about the word "lay" on the mourning hall, one said: "How much do you say it costs to fence it up?" and the other woman said: "It costs 3,000 yuan to say the least." An old man continued, "Three thousand three hundred." Both women smacked their tongues as they listened.

Ma Feiyang was puzzled by this kind of thing, and asked Wang Jianwu beside him: "What is the importance of using money to enclose words?" Wang Jianwu laughed: "What's so particular about this, it's just to look good, alas, it's fashionable now." Ma Feiyang said in his heart: What can be explained by using money around the word, can it prove that there is money, or can it prove that there is filial piety? I'm afraid that nothing can be proved, but everyone still has to do this, although we don't want to do it in our hearts, but if we don't do it, we are afraid of others saying it, and if we do it, we are not afraid of others saying it, and we will only say good, alas, sometimes we live for other people's words.

After eating, Ma Feiyang went to the mourning hall to see the word "lay", and sure enough, all the strokes were connected with a 100 yuan bill. Banks are afraid that they would never think that money could be used for such purposes.

Zhou Daqing told Ma Feiyang to find a place to rest first, and he was going to leave later, and he would be early tonight. They came to the house of the uncle and brother of Jiangchuan next door, and sat down to rest and chat.

Listening to the folk singer on the drummer's side start singing, Ma Feiyang was amazed that this folk singer can sing almost any song, popular, national, popular, in addition to bel canto, all kinds of singing methods can be picked up, and even some folk tunes can also be tried.

Ma Feiyang's brothers chatted and said that the current funeral is to be done in a lively place, and these singing and performing are doing some vulgar things, and they are extremely obscene and erotic.

Wang Chuang said: "We are close to the province, do you know how to play?" Several people looked at him and waited for him to continue, Wang Chuang said: "They are still dancing striptease over there." Zhou Daqing said: "Can you take it off?" Wang Chuang said: "It must be taken off." Gu Zhiming smiled and said, "I don't know if I took it off today." Wang Chuang said: "What is this, as long as the master's family pays for it, they will definitely take it off." Several people laughed when they heard this.

was smiling, Zhou Daqing said: "Hey, what are you singing now?" Everyone listened carefully, Wang Chuang ran in many places, heard it, and said with a smile: "This is the southern minor key "A Purple Bamboo Straight Miao Miao", which is a bit interesting. Ma Feiyang sighed: "This is more difficult than pop songs." At this time, when the song ended, the music changed, and I only heard the woman sing: "In the first watch, enter the embroidery room...... I got a gum in the second watch...... I didn't sleep all night in the fourth watch, ......" Zhou Daqing thought about it and suddenly said: "This is "Lovesick Five Watches", right?" Gu Zhiming immediately said: "No, I have heard this song, this is "Pan Five Watches". Ma Feiyang said: ""Acacia Five Tunes" is longer than this, and it is more difficult to sing than this, it is five words." Then there was the song "Picking Up Eight Touches", this time everyone heard it, and when they sang "Five Touches, Touch My Sister's Heart", they laughed even more.

They were laughing and laughing, and someone shouted through the microphone, "All friends and relatives, ready to leave soon." A few people came out of the house, and set off to send the deceased to Xihuang Road, Ma Feiyang saw that there was a small drying field next to him, and a fire had been lit at this time, and after a while, the filial son came, and everyone began to circle around the fire under the leadership of the filial son. All the people were silent, and followed with their heads down, Ma Feiyang looked up and looked around, and a circle of people walked around the fire like this, without making a sound. Ma Feiyang suddenly thought: If it was dark, if a circle of people sang and danced, wouldn't it be a bonfire party? Look at the filial son again, the leather shoes are worn as slippers, the long white filial piety robe is dragged on the ground, and the hem is already muddy, suddenly Ma Feiyang can't help laughing, but he quickly held back, lowered his head again, and then controlled it.

At night, a few headlights were raised, illuminating the door of the house was bright, and the actors from the drummers also began to perform passionately, at this time, the old men and old ladies in the Zhuangzi, including some middle-aged people who worked during the day and went home at night, were moved by the wind, and for a time the door of the Jiangchuan house became a sea of joy.

On the makeshift stage, a pair of men and women can make the spectators laugh with exaggerated movements and provocative language. Ma Feiyang came over and watched it for a while, although he felt vulgar, but he couldn't help but admire these people who went to the rivers and lakes to sell their arts, and they still put in a lot of effort, especially seeing the actress's bold and breakthrough performance, which made people feel that it was not easy to make money, and they were also fighting for life.

When it comes to the stage of ordering songs from relatives and friends, this is a must-order, and a song may be 20 or 30 yuan. Then there is the liquor, also known as the spirit of speech, which means to officially say goodbye to the deceased. Drinking is very particular, and following the rhythm of the music, one move and one style cannot be ambiguous.

Ma Feiyang, Zhou Daqing and others only knew about the liquor, but no one knew how to make the liquor. Zhou Daqing said with a smile: "Feiyang, you have to study hard, I'm afraid that our generation won't be able to." Ma Feiyang said: "Won't you just kowtow." ”

As he spoke, the uncle of the river boat came, and saw him clasping his hands into fists, making a gesture and then kowtowing four times on the lower prayer mat, standing up, breathing steadily, and walking towards the offering table. Someone sent a piece of incense, a piece of foil, a piece of cake, a pair of chopsticks, a wine glass, the uncle of the river boat raised his hands to the tip of his eyebrows after receiving it, three times in a row, and finally sent a wine glass, the uncle of the river boat raised the glass and the chest level, from left to right, three points, raised the eyebrows, and three points, from beginning to end are serious and meticulous.
