Chapter 190: The Funeral of the "Little Old Mother" Family
Grandma hurriedly asked her: "Why are you waiting to leave, I haven't heard that she is not good (uncomfortable, sick)." ”
The second grandmother said: "It doesn't matter if you tell you, when I got up this morning, I saw her fall to the ground, and her body was hard." It is estimated that he got up in the middle of the night to relieve his hands, and fell to the ground and did not get up.
Her mother and daughter have choked for a lifetime, and they ended up like this when they are old. You just know, don't forget to say that the daughter-in-law of the 'high school junior' hasn't married back yet. ”
Youyou dumped Didi and secretly followed behind her grandmother to see what was rare. People who have just passed away should not be allowed to be approached by children under the age of three. It is said that children under the age of three have incomplete souls and are afraid of seeing unclean things.
There are no outsiders in her family, just grandma, second grandfather and his eldest brother's family. Han Deku's family of three had tears all over their faces, but they didn't dare to cry loudly. 'Gao Gaosan' cried involuntarily and lay on his grandmother's body.
"I complained about being playful, I got up late in the morning, my mother told me, saying that it was cold and asked me to watch my grandmother, but I didn't take it seriously. ”
The second grandmother pulled him: "Child, listen to the eldest mother, you can't say this again in the future, let your father and mother be a man." ”
'Gao Gaosan' cried: "The second aunt, they all complain about my sleeping death, and it has nothing to do with my father." ”
The second grandmother pointed at him and said, "You kid usually understands it, why are you confused." Others don't think so if they know it, why did your grandmother say that she also froze to death, it's not good to say, what is the matter with her son having a grandson. Your grandmother's maiden family is not here, and if we are here, we will have to beat your father to death. ”
It turned out that Han Deku's mother and daughter-in-law have always had a bad temper, and they have lived alone when they are old, and they have not partnered with their son. However, she loves her grandson, and the 'high school junior' has slept with her since she was weaned, and at the same time took care of her life.
This morning, it was the "little old mother" who came to call him to eat and found out.
The second grandmother is old, and the old things are ready, and the grandmother and the second grandmother put on old clothes for her.
The "little old mother" said with tears in her eyes: "Your old man has been strong all his life, and he prepared his own old clothes for gifts, but he didn't wear them when he was old." How many times have I persuaded you, let's go through it together, but you just don't listen, saying that you don't have the face to let me serve.
I really don't know what you think, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, you raise children and hug grandchildren, why don't you have a face, isn't it just that our mother and mother choked a few times.
I will give you all the good things to say, but you just won't listen. I don't know if you regret it, but I regret it anyway. If I knew this, I would have to go back with you. ”
The custom here is that when the old man is dying, he will change into old clothes while his body is soft. If you wear it after you breathe, it doesn't count. Like the second grandmother, she walked naked.
The second grandmother sighed: "It's just this poor life, I have been hungry since I was a child, I was sold before I became an adult, and I still walked naked when I was old." ”
Grandma and the others cleaned everything up, and the second grandmother instructed: "Let's just say that we are choking on dinner, and we can't mention anything else." Okay, let's all cry loudly. ”
When the people in the village heard the commotion, they all rushed over, and the courtyard was full of people. After listening to the second grandmother's explanation, everyone said: "The second grandmother is seventy-three this year, and I have been scared for a year, and I am two months away, but I still haven't survived." ”
"If you don't say that, seventy-three, eighty-four, Hades won't call himself to go. The second grandmother is also considered to be long-lived, and there are few people in our village who have survived her. ”
The village deacons (those in charge of red and white affairs) spontaneously gathered up, and the funeral was carried out in an orderly manner. There is not one deacon, there are seven or eight men and women together, and Han Deku is the leader.
The female deacon, nicknamed "Mule", is thick and strong, in her sixties, and is the eldest aunt who keeps Han Yuchen.
Speaking of her, it is also a strange thing: her in-laws have two sons, her husband is the eldest, and Han Yuchen's father is the second. She is strong and strong, and she is a good hand inside and outside the house, but she is not satisfactory to give birth to children. Entered the door at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to seven daughters in twelve consecutive years, while Han Yuchen's father gave birth to four children in eight years.
Han Yuchen's mother often squeezed her out of words, saying that she had a desperate face and would never be able to give birth to a son in her life. is still holding on to her in-laws, and wants to pass on her second son to her.
Seeing that she disagreed, she threatened: "These eighty acres of land will be ours sooner or later. ”
Her in-laws are not partial, and they are very satisfied with their eldest daughter-in-law. She is hardworking and kind, and she is diligent and thrifty. Born with a pair of big feet, a strong body and great strength.
When she gave birth to her third daughter, she had just finished giving birth when she heard someone outside shouting, "Your donkey has run away." "Put on a fast turban, and go out to pick up the donkey.
Her mother-in-law came back and saw her on the street and felt that something was wrong. When I came home and heard the child crying in the house, I remembered to come and see her belly.
Hurriedly drove her into the house to rest: "You kid, don't die." I don't know how to call someone when I have a child, and I dare to go out to blow the wind. ”
The second elder was looking forward to her giving birth to a boy, and she really looked forward to it, she gave birth to a son at the age of thirty, and named him "Guola".
The son was born, but the husband died of a sudden illness, and the son was only eight months old at the time. The white-haired in-laws sent the black-haired people, and they were too sad and fell ill one after another.
Before his father-in-law died, he was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he decided to divide the family. Eighty acres of land, forty acres for a family, mother-in-law lives with the old family.
Her nickname "mule" was called from this time. The husband is gone, the son is still young, the eldest daughter is just thirteen years old, and there is a sick old man, and she is the only one in the family.
Her brother-in-law changed the topic again: "A natural widow lives, and she insists that her son kill a man." A woman's house, guarding forty acres of land, looking at the long grass, knows that it is blind (forcible occupation). ”
She took her mother-in-law to the county seat, found a fledgling Western doctor, and spent ten yuan to cure the old man.
In the days that followed, she let the old man stay at home and take care of the housework with her 9-year-old third daughter. With his two daughters, aged 13 and 11, he went to work in the fields.
She and her mother-in-law are both widows, and they don't even dare to use a hired laborer, for fear of being discussed. The people in the village also avoided her, first, her brother-in-law had a bad mouth, and second, she was afraid of being discussed. There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and no one wants to be stained with fish.
It's also because she's strong and has a big heart. Ploughing, shaking, and raising the field, all the work in the field is at hand, no worse than that of a man. When it came to the busy farming season, she couldn't be busy, so her mother's family came to help her.
When my son was six years old, her husband's loving mother died. As a godson, her family has to make a big offering and make a big gift.
Her brother and daughter-in-law took the opportunity to make things difficult and did not allow her husband and son to come forward. "Isn't she capable, men can do all the work, let her salute by herself, people have sons, you need to pretend to be filial sons. ”
If the brothers don't come forward, others dare not come forward. She really got tough, found a loudspeaker class, and learned to salute from others.
On the day of the funeral, she used an ox cart to pull 30 bowls of offerings, and she took her son to perform a 36-way gift in the funeral shed.
