Chapter 138: Heart

After a group of people sorted out their emotions, Lin Yi remembered his very human dog brother.

Now that her grandmother has passed away, she hasn't asked about the situation of the black tiger, and she doesn't know if anyone has fed it.

"Black Tiger?"

"Oh, your big dog! I went out with your grandmother yesterday, and I don't know what happened after that. I guess it was washed away by the water!"

With all the people gone, who still has the heart to pay attention to a dog?

Besides, these neighbors only knew the bad news after receiving a call, and they didn't know what happened before, Xiao Yan, who was saving people at that time, went on a mission again, Lin Yi had to put this matter aside, and pulled a few elderly people to inquire about the rules for handling funeral matters.

The Lin family is thin and has no uncles and relatives, so they can only rely on Lin Yi alone for big and small things.

How many days do you stop at the funeral home? Burial or cremation? What day is the burial dated? Where is the burial? Do you want to make a dojo? How do you receive guests when they come? How do you purchase various materials during the period? Where do you have dinner after the funeral?

A series of problems are in front of you, and it is already a trivial matter that you can't take a bath, can't comb your hair, can't get meat and so on.

These rules have been passed down from generation to generation, and most of them are called bad habits, but she doesn't want her grandmother to suffer any grievances, so she decides to follow the rules.

Because grandma left suddenly, she is not too old, and she has not prepared a coffin and other things for herself, and the shroud is arranged by the funeral home, which is not a trouble.

Those trivial things are nothing to be handled with the help of neighbors, and Mr. Yin Yang is easy to please, but for Lin Yi, the most difficult thing is to keep the spirit.

Because He Xiulian is in Xinjiang, it is reasonable to wait for her to come back before being buried, so even if it is hot at this time, the day of the suspension of the spirit is still set for seven days.

According to the rules, in the past seven days, relatives are required to keep the spirit at night, the oil lamp in front of the spirit cannot be extinguished, and the incense, candles, paper money, etc. must also be burned on time, and now Lin Yi is left in the Lin family, that is to say, she has to survive seven days alone.

Lin Yi was not afraid of this, and he didn't feel that it was suffering.

Although the relationship between her and Li Fengxia's grandchildren is only one year, this year's experience is enough for her to remember for a lifetime.

She was willing to do so.

Sincerely, I wish grandma all the best.

The day slowly brightened, and in the morning light, the mourning hall was full of vegetarianism, and Lin Yi carried a string of firecrackers and came to the back door of the mourning hall to light it.

The red firecrackers exploded, falling on the ground with shredded paper, and the smell of gunpowder lingered on the tip of the nose, but it had nothing to do with joy.

Looking at the rising sun, Lin Yi's heart was numb.

In just one day, it was as if the heavens and the earth had changed color.

Back at the mourning hall, Lin Yi found the funeral home staff and asked if three meals a day could be arranged, and the neighbors heard her ask this, and hurriedly pulled her aside, saying that they would bring her meals and not waste money.

Lin Yi didn't want to work everyone, and she didn't even have to eat, so she insisted on paying for these arrangements, but the neighbors felt sorry for her and still had to go to school, and she had no income in the future, but there were many places to spend money, and she was unwilling to let her do it.

The neighbors thought about her everywhere and saved her money, not for nothing.

Although she still has a mother, her mother has remarried and given birth to a son, so she may not care about her, especially at the teacher appreciation banquet in August last year, her mother went home, and for a few days, she was unwilling to wait for the teacher appreciation banquet before leaving, everyone secretly felt that He Xiulian had limited friendship with this daughter.

In addition, the Lin family has no relatives, and the ordinary guests come, at most they will burn the pillar incense and leave, no one will stay for dinner in the past few days, and the neighbors all know that Lin Yi arranged it for them.

The family home of Shanlin No. 2 Middle School is not far from here, and it is convenient for everyone to go home for dinner, so naturally she will not waste this money!

In the future, when a person goes to school outside, he will have to rely on himself for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the difficult days are still to come!

Everyone has a big family to take care of, and they can think about her for a while, but they can't worry about her for a lifetime, so they naturally think about it in the long run.

Lin Yi had no choice but to dispel the idea and promised that the neighbors would take turns to bring her food and take turns to accompany her.

When the management personnel of the funeral home went to work, the neighbors accompanied them to negotiate the various matters of the funeral stoppage, and arranged for Liang Si'an to be responsible for purchasing various materials, Lin Yi knelt in front of the ice coffin again, replaced the incense candles and burned paper money by the way.

Everyone saw that she was emotionally stable and arranged things in an orderly manner, because the school was about to start, there were still many things in the school, and the retired teachers also had family affairs that they couldn't let go, so they sent Teacher Chen here to accompany her on the first day, and everyone went home.

Most of them left, and the thin shortcomings of the Lin family were revealed.

The whole hall was empty, and the silence was scary.

At eight o'clock, the retired teachers took care of the family, went back and forth, brought breakfast and toothbrushes and towels to let her wash up and eat.

"It's hot, you don't have to keep all those bad habits, go home and take a shower, we'll watch it for you here for a while! ”

Lin Yi was wearing sour clothes and refused with a wry smile.

She can still insist on this little thing.

It is impossible for her to leave her grandmother here alone, and there is no blood relatives around her.

Seeing that she insisted, outsiders were not reluctant, so they had to sigh and watch her drink porridge with pickles.

The busy and panicked night is over, and now it is quiet, although everyone is accompanied, Lin Yi is drinking porridge, and the tears are still uncontrollable.

Grandma Tao makes pickles well, and every household in the family yard learns from her, and the pickles in Lin Yi's house are almost the same taste.

At home on weekdays, she has breakfast with her grandmother, she has long been accustomed to this taste, and now a bowl of porridge is down, and the time she spent with her grandmother in the past comes to mind, which makes her heart ache uncontrollably!

Seeing her crying, everyone couldn't control their emotions.

After a while, everyone was almost crying, and Grandma Tao took out a white envelope.

"This is a little bit of the heart of each family in our yard, the list is in it, the big guys are busy, I am sent over, I will go to the bank later, save it first, and use it when the funeral home settles the bill." ”

Lin Yi looked at the chubby envelope, and the tears that had just been wiped off rolled down again.

"Xiaoyi, the big guys all know your situation! You are a child of our second middle school, your grandmother is gone, and these elders are watching you! Now that you are in trouble, where can we turn a blind eye? The situation of each family is different, more or less it is all mind, you just put it away!"

"How can you collect this money? There is still money at home, at home. I know everybody's worried about me. Really, my grandmother left me a lot, enough for me to go to school, enough for me to spend."

Lin Yi has never experienced these things, in her previous life, these people had contacts with each other, and she had assistants to take care of her, and now she was a little at a loss when she received this money.

Do you want to return the gift?

What is appropriate?

She didn't have a clue.

I didn't sleep all night, Lin Yi's face was so pale! I cried a few times in a row, her nose was red, and she looked even more pitiful!

Grandma Tao burst into tears, hugged her in her arms, and couldn't help crying bitterly.

She still remembers Li Fengxia's proud eyes when she saw this girl appear in the news in the gymnasium a few days ago.

What a wonderful child!

The old friend has worked hard all his life, and before he has enjoyed the blessings, he went!

No sign at all!

It went so suddenly!

In the morning, I was still laughing with everyone, but in the evening there were no people

"Take it! That's the rule. If you really don't want to go, you can keep this list, and when I leave one day, you will come back to give me a gift!"

"Grandma Tao!"

"Lao Tao, what are you talking about!"

A group of people pulled away from the conversation as they spoke, as if everyone had forgotten the envelope.

Lin Yi had no choice but to stuff the money into his bag, carry the bag in front of him, and stuff it into his burlap clothes.

"Xiaoyi, your grandmother is glorious! Don't be too sad!"

"People always have this day! Lao Li has gone, you have to live well for her!"

Everyone took turns to talk to her, relieving her heart, Lin Yi was extremely moved in her heart, and nodded while crying.

Just then, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside.

"Quick! Lao Chen set off firecrackers, Xiaoyi, ready to pick up people!"

Teacher Chen went to the back door with a firecracker, and Teacher Tao pulled Lin Yi to the door, put a futon for her, and asked her to kneel down and prepare to kowtow.

Firecrackers rang out at the back door, informing the visitor that the host's house knew that the guests were coming and that they were ready.

Soon, someone in the hall entered the door crying.
