2 Relatives go to the funeral

On the day before Qin's father's funeral, early in the morning, everyone in the Qin family's courtyard began to get busy. After ten o'clock in the morning, all the relatives of the Qin family began to rush to the Qin family one after another.

Qin Yufan's family has many relatives, and her family's relatives are mainly concentrated in Qin's father's hometown and Qin's mother's maiden family.

Qin's father has only two immediate families in City A. One was his eldest sister and her children's home, and the other was his second sister and her children's home.

Qin's father's parents had three daughters and one son in their lifetime. Qin's father has two older sisters and one younger sister. His sister died of an early illness before his parents led them to flee here. His eldest sister-in-law also died a few years ago. Early this morning, his two sisters and their children rushed to Qin's house to mourn him.

Due to the relatively long distance, Qin's father's relatives in Henan's hometown only came with a few representatives from each family. They also rushed to Qin's house in advance by train the day before Qin's father's funeral, and came to the funeral for Qin's father.

Father Qin's father had a large number of brothers and sisters. Except for one of his siblings, who married in Qinghai Province, the rest lived in their hometown in Henan.

Qin's father was the second oldest of his many siblings. He has a brother and a sister, a second brother and a second sister. All but his fourth brother and his wife, as well as his sister in Qinghai Province, are still alive. Due to the tight time and the long distance, the families of these cousins of Qin's father, each of whom had several representatives, came to attend his funeral.

Qin's father is a very important friend in his life. He and his cousins, though thousands of miles apart, have not lost touch. Whenever there is a festival and encounters a "big event", they still come and go with each other. His relatives in his hometown, except for his eldest uncle and aunt when he died, due to the reason of "**" (Qin's father was imprisoned in the cowshed at the time, and Qin's mother was not long after giving birth to Qin Yufan), and their family was unable to attend his eldest uncle's funeral for some reason, the rest of the people he attended their funeral.

Just seven or eight years ago, after his third uncle died, he and his wife led Qin Yufan's two sisters to the funeral. Because of this, after his death, his cousins and relatives also rushed here from their hometown in Henan to mourn him.

Qin's father's uncle's family was also a large family, and their family also lived in a village not too far from his hometown. Qin's grandfather was a small local rich man at the time, and his family married several concubines, and his mother was the child of one of his grandfather's aunts. He has two half-brothers and a half-sister on his mother. There is a brother of the same parents. Of his mother's many siblings, all but one of her half-sisters-in-law and sister-in-law are still alive. Therefore, after Qin's father died, several representatives from his uncle's family and his aunt's family each came, and they rushed here to attend his funeral.

Among all the relatives who came to the Qin family today, especially the relatives of Qin's mother's family were the most numerous.

Qin's mother's family lives in a rural village only a dozen kilometers away from City A. Her mother's family can be regarded as a "big family" in their village. The clan members are very large, accounting for more than 70 percent of their village.

Mother Qin has many brothers and sisters. She had two older sisters and a brother, and a brother and two younger sisters. Cousin siblings are even more numerous. Among her many relatives, except for her second sister's family and a cousin's family, who were out of town, and failed to make it to her house, the rest rushed here.

Qin Yufan's grandfather was trapped by hunger due to living conditions in the early sixties of the last century, and accidentally ate some poisonous wild vegetables and contracted "skin swelling disease" when he was "******". Soon after, he passed away prematurely. Since then, her grandmother has been alone and painstakingly pulling their siblings to adulthood.

Early this morning, Qin Yuji's grandmother, with the support of one of her granddaughters, also rushed here from the countryside more than ten kilometers away. Don't look at this old woman who is 83 years old, and her teeth have already fallen out. But she is not deaf or blind. Sometimes you don't need to be supported when you walk, and your body can be strong!

Qin Yufan treats her grandmothers, not to mention how filial she is! Whenever she encounters her grandmother's birthday or the New Year's holidays, she will take her grandmother to live in her house for some time. When the two Qin Yufan sisters were young, whenever they had summer vacations or winter vacations, the two sisters spent most of their time at her grandmother's house. Her aunts and uncles also treated their two nieces from the city differently. The sisters receive special "preferential treatment" every day in their home. Several of her cousins are also very "loving" to the two sisters. If anything happens, let the two sisters first. The two sisters have been in their home as casually as if they were in and out of their own home since they were children.

These people, early this morning, all rushed to Qin's house early.

After 12 noon, Qin Yufan's relatives and friends basically arrived at Qin's house on time.

After seeing that all the relatives and friends of the Qin family had basically arrived, with the host's order, Qin's father's funeral slowly began.

After the funeral began, the female relatives of the Qin family first cleaned the cemetery for Qin's father under the leadership of the band, and then the male relatives of the Qin family invited back the ancestral spiritual seat of the Qin family under the leadership of the band.

After the "spirit" was over, they began to pay homage to Qin's father's spiritual seat, and then began to bring the gifts of their relatives back to Qin's father's spirit in order.

Due to the fact that the Qin family has more relatives. The ritual began at 11 a.m. and continued until after five o'clock in the afternoon, when it gradually came to an end.
