The scene of soup delivery and funeral is also grand and pompous.

The Li family already has a large number of people, and because of the prestige that Zhenfu has established over the decades and the reputation and status that his children have worked hard for, there are also many filial sons and grandsons who can stick to the top, and they are full of streets and alleys. There is a suona in front to lead the way, the filial sons and grandchildren follow closely, the filial piety hat swaying, the filial piety belt fluttering, and it merges into a white river. The cry was loud too. It is high-pitched, low-pitched, rough, or soft, showing the noise of the timbre, the wide range of sound, and the magnificence of the volume.

Because the amount of white cloth consumed is too large, and every household has to buy knives and burn paper to give to the dead ghost Zhenfu, it can be regarded as a casual favor, and all the white cotton cloth and incense candle burning paper in the Zhu'er store have long been sold out. He had to ride his bicycle to the town, bringing new cloth and burnt paper to provide for Zhenfu's funeral, which has ever been called "vast" in Xinghua Village.

The only regret is that because of Feng'er's opposition, Zhenfu was finally taken to the crematorium in the county town at noon and cremated. The bank retrieved a delicate and shiny urn covered in red silk.

Zhenshu took out the gray-white ashes and looked at them for a while, before he gently placed the large broken bones next to the longevity pillow according to his imagination, which meant that Zhenfu's head had landed. Next, he picked out a few smaller pieces of broken bones and placed them on his legs and feet, which means that Zhenfu already has a root. The remaining ashes were laid out in the coffin one by one according to the general shape of Zhenfu before his death. While fiddling with it carefully, he kept repeating a sentence in his mouth, that is, "find your own head, your own feet, and your own bones". It means that if he can't distinguish for a while, he mistakenly puts Zhenfu's toes on his head, or puts his skull on his stomach, reminding Zhenfu that he has to put the misplaced head and feet right.

In terms of life arrangement, it is even more abundant. Let the people of Xinghua Village know for the first time that the funeral banquet of white things should be so extravagant and exquisite.

Because it was Zhenfu's funeral, not only the whole class of the Li family came over, but even the people surnamed Song and He unconsciously gathered over. Especially those families outside the mountain who are inextricably linked to the Zhenfu family by marriage, regardless of the distance and the depth of the mountains, have flocked to Xinghua Village. With incense, candles, paper money and other "four yi" heavy gifts, came to the funeral from afar. When there is something to do, people are busy with the work in hand with all their hearts and minds, and they do not stop. It's okay, and he wears a filial piety hat sewn with white cloth on his head, and squats in the spirit house like a dog, helping to take care of the spirit. When eating, there should be whole chicken and fish, and eight large bowls and ten dishes are stacked on the table. The drinks are also enough. If you don't have it, just go to Zhu'er's store and get it, just keep the account. There are flowing water seats in the restaurants in the four directions, and they don't stop all day long. When it came to the main meal, it was obvious that he couldn't sit down in the restaurant in the square, so he had to set up a table at the nearby people's house. Tired and dizzy, his back hurts, and he said, even when he opened a restaurant in the town, he was not tired here at the end of the day. Mao Qing has long become the head of purchasing, and he runs around with a few cubs. It's not catching chickens and shrimps, or weighing noodles and measuring rice, and there is no spare time.

Roughly calculated, on the day of Zhenfu's funeral alone, one-third of the people of Xinghua Village participated in the entire funeral activities, plus the population from outside the mountain who rushed to the funeral, there were hundreds of people. According to the number of diners, if you don't put more than 20 tables of wine and food on each meal, you can't take it down.
