Chapter 266: Whose Relatives?
Li Mu and his entourage walked in the direction pointed by the villagers, and along the way, they really met many villagers wearing linen and filial piety, so they simply followed them.
Listening to their conversation, I can probably understand some of the situation, most of the people in the village are surnamed Lu, and they are basically related to the old lady.
Walking and walking, Li Mu's footsteps were a pause, and he could see the open space outside the ancestral hall, and he heard a sad suona sound from inside, which was different from the ordinary suona, this suona sound was much softer, and it was more of a tactful and sad artistic conception.
There is no noise like the suona in the impression at all, but there is some charm of Jiangnan women sobbing in a low voice.
Li Mu glanced at the rest of the people: "This, it should be that master, right?"
Liu Lao's apprentice kept bowing his head and muttering something to himself, Li Mu couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and asked, "This, how does it feel?"
"Yes, sure, if I guess correctly, he should blow a small suona, this kind of suona pole is relatively short, the timbre is soft, unlike the big suona in the Western Jin Dynasty The timbre is rough, straight and straight, however, he doesn't seem to be a local suona performance method, but more like a Hakka suona, deep sadness, euphemism and grievances, I still see someone who can blow suona like this, more powerful than the teachers of our art school. Old Apprentice Liu came back to his senses at this time.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go. Li Mu took it and walked towards the ancestral hall.
As a result, when I arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, I was stopped by a middle-aged man: "A few people are a little raw, this is ..........." with a displeased face.
It's no wonder that this one is unhappy, people are holding a funeral here, and several people who don't know each other are still setting up cameras to break in, if they encounter a bad temper, they will directly grab the camera.
Old Apprentice Liu just wanted to answer but was stopped by Li Mu, only to see him holding the middle-aged man's hand with a sad face: "Uncle Cousin, I, I only heard the news of my uncle's departure yesterday, and I drove for more than ten hours from Guangdong Province to rush back." ”
The middle-aged man was stupid, looking Li Mu up and down, but he couldn't remember which distant relative this was, but looking at his grief-stricken expression, it didn't look like a fake, and he froze in place for a while.
The four people accompanying him were stunned, and they still had such a commotion operation, if they hadn't known in advance that Li Mu had nothing to do with the family, they were afraid that they would be as confused as a middle-aged man, right?
"No, it doesn't seem that our family has any relatives in Guangdong Province............" The middle-aged man finally came back to his senses.
But before he finished speaking, he was robbed by Li Mu: "Uncle Cousin, our family is not in Guangdong Province, I work in Guangdong Province, these are my colleagues, by the way, this is the gift money that my mother asked you to bring, and I am in a hurry and have no time to get red envelopes, so you can take care of it." As he spoke, he stuffed a few red tickets from his pocket into the middle-aged man's hand.
The middle-aged man's face suddenly became much kinder, and he secretly counted them, there were eight sheets, that is, eight hundred yuan, a lot, and these people in the village were only two hundred per capita, and they dragged their families to eat.
glanced at Li Mu again, still didn't remember who this young man was, it stands to reason that his relatives have produced such a dignified descendant, he shouldn't be unimpressed, but since people come all the way to give gifts, they can't always let people stand outside, right?
So the middle-aged man smiled and welcomed Li Mu and the others in, and specially stuffed a pack of 13 Yellow Crane Towers for Li Mu.
"It's been hard all the way, I'll take you to kowtow in front of the spirit first. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Mu and the others to reflect, he took five pieces of white linen cloth and handed them to them, and then demonstrated how to make a hat shape on their heads with linen.
Li Mu is stupid, what's going on? Miscalculation, why do you really want to kowtow to this "uncle"? This is too unlucky, right?
But there is no way, it is already a duck on the shelf, and death can only die, the group of people gave the old man three heads with a "sad" face, and the family members were moved when they thanked them.
Li Mu coughed embarrassedly: "What, the deceased is big, it's just a kowtow, what can there be, right?"
Hehe, the other four turned their heads in disgust, do you believe this?
But I finally came in, the ancestral hall was already full of tables and chairs, and the band was in the middle aisle, but at this time, I couldn't hear the suona solo, but the sound of gongs and drums.
Looking over, Li Mu found a thin old man sitting in front of a table, smoking a cigarette, and a suona was placed in front of him, buckled and placed on the table.
Li Mu was just about to go over, but he heard a commotion in the ancestral hall, it turned out that the banquet was open, and a group of aunts jumped out of the backyard of the ancestral hall, holding huge plates in their hands, and plates of mushroom stewed chicken were steaming.
was stunned for a moment, but everyone found that the thin old man was gone, no, it should be that the entire "band" was gone.
"Hey, several, you're welcome, all sit, sit when there is a vacant seat. The middle-aged man just now saw that Li Mu and them were still standing stupidly and laughed in their hearts, at first glance, they were babies in the city, and they had no experience in eating banquets, so they couldn't help but kindly remind them.
"Ahh Li Mu and his party looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they could only find their own places to sit down, plus they were also hungry, so they were all at ease.
I have to say that the rural banquet is actually quite a card, although it is a big pot dish, but there are a lot of chicken, duck and fish, and the taste is not bad, there is a rough delicacy, especially the tamale, the large piece of pork belly is wrapped in steamed powder, steamed out with the cage drawer of steamed buns, fat but not greasy, it is absolutely amazing.
Old apprentice Liu sat at the same table with Li Mu, and as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he basically forgot the task of this trip, and the villagers on the side were laughing secretly: How many years has this been since I had a banquet?
Eat and drink enough, the funeral is still going on, some people are leaving, some people are coming, this is the flowing water seat, after eating a wave of walking, Li Mu and his party finally heard the familiar suona sound.
"Master, why don't we go out and talk?" After the thin old man finished playing, Li Mu stepped forward and handed over the Yellow Crane Tower just now, and said politely.
The thin old man raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but nodded for the sake of the cigarette: "Oh, who in your family has passed away?"
Poof~~~ The photographer almost didn't stabilize and threw the camera to the ground, and the other three people also couldn't help laughing, and their faces were red.
Li Mu was speechless for a while, could this old man speak? Did he open his mouth to ask someone else's family who had passed away? But who made him ask for something? He could only stubbornly say: "No one in our family has passed away..........
The thin old man pouted: "No one has passed away, what else do we have to talk about?"
