Chapter 664: The Feng Family's Funeral 2
Chapter 664 Feng Family Funeral 2
1.
Feng Shu's father, Feng Changxi, said "inverted head", which is actually a common saying in the Hushan area, "inverted head", which means death. The old custom taboos the word "death", so it is called "death" as "inverted head".
Feng Changxi's meaning is very clear, that is to say, after Liu Shuzhen dies, Feng Shu's son Feng Xiaofeng can be brought back from the county seat. Feng Changxi's approach sounds a little unkind, but if you think about it carefully, there is also a certain reason for the old man to do this. That Feng Xiaofeng is just a little more than ten years old, how can he stand the pain of the moment when the mother and son are separated from each other?
During the period when Liu Shuzhen was in a coma, Feng Shu quietly followed his father's instructions to quietly prepare for Liu Shuzhen's "aftermath". It is nothing more than to prepare the longevity clothes, hats, shoes and other supplies to wear after death according to the customs of the Toyama area, and also contact the funeral car in advance, find someone who understands feng shui to inspect the cemetery in advance, prepare the bricks and cement for the tomb in advance, contact the craftsman who built the tomb in advance, and so on. It's just that all this Feng Shu was carried out quietly, and the teachers in the compound of Hushan Middle School only saw Feng Shu running around on a motorcycle every day, but no one knew that Liu Shuzhen might not be dead soon.
In the entire compound of Hushan Middle School, only Spring and Xu Dan are the insiders. Since Liu Shuzhen was terminally ill, Spring and Xu Dan had to go to Feng Shu's house almost every day, sometimes two people went together, and sometimes whoever had time to go. It's just that Spring and Xu Dan couldn't help much in the past, so they could only watch Liu Shuzhen suffer from the torture of death, and sighed in vain. Every time they came back from Feng Shu's house, Spring and Xu Dan couldn't help but sigh and sigh, lamenting the impermanence of the world and the ill-fated fate.

September 29, the ninth day of the eighth month in the old calendar, is Tuesday.
Every Tuesday is the time to take the shift on duty in the spring, duty is a hard job, to get up early and go to bed late, all day long to keep wandering around the campus, from the student's getting up, morning exercises, morning reading, recess exercises, three meals, classes, class order, lunch break, evening self-study, evening break, etc. Spring is the leader of the class, but also to make detailed records, plus the spring is the direct leader in charge of student management in the school, everything has to set an example for others, so every Tuesday is the busiest day in spring, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the busyness of spring with feet not touching the ground.
Every Tuesday dinner and spring have to wait until seven o'clock for students to study in the evening, and then they can go home to eat after a routine round, and this day's dinner is no exception.
A little after half past seven, Spring just threw down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, picked up a cup of tea, and before he had time to take a few sips, the BB machine on Spring's waist kept screaming.
Spring took out the pager and saw that the pager displayed the phone number of Jihouya Primary School, Spring Huo Di realized that something might be wrong, and after putting down the water glass, he didn't even bother to say hello to Xu Dan, so he went out of the door and went straight to Feng Shu's house.
This is an agreement between Spring and Feng Shu, Spring once said to Feng Shu that if there is something at home (referring to Liu Shuzhen), he will say hello. As people from the same village who live in the same industry and in the same compound, Spring thinks it is incumbent on me to take care of and help each other.
For the initiative of spring, Feng Shu naturally will not shirk. The pager he just received in the spring was called by Feng Shu from home. After Feng Shu became the principal of Jihouya Primary School, in order to facilitate his father Feng Changxi to contact him, he invited the director of the town post and telecommunications bureau to drink at public expense, so Feng Shu's family was involved in this telephone extension. This is also the second power that Feng Shu enjoyed after being promoted to the principal of the school district, the first is the "comfort nest" that Feng Shu built for himself in Jihouya Primary School before the school started.

Spring weather panted and ran to the door of Feng Shu's house, the door of the Feng family's courtyard and the door of the hall were wide open, and the lights in the courtyard, the hall and the bedroom were also on, standing outside the courtyard gate, the spring could see the Feng family's father and son sitting on the sofa in the hall with their heads down.
Spring's heart fluttered suddenly, and looking at the formation, Spring knew that his guess might have come true.
Spring didn't care about anything else, and rushed into the Feng family's hall in three steps and two steps, and said hello to Feng Shu's father and son.
"Your sister-in-law... Gone..." Feng Shu looked sad, glanced up at Spring, and then reached out and pointed to the bedroom.
Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, when it comes to the end, I still feel an indescribable discomfort in my heart. Although Liu Shuzhen has no blood relationship with Spring, and is not a relative, Liu Shuzhen has always cared for Spring since she was assigned to Hushan Middle School in Spring for so many years, and she has long regarded Liu Shuzhen as a relative in Spring's heart.
Spring held back the sourness in her heart and turned around and went into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Liu Shuzhen's thin body was lying flat on the bed, there was no trace of blood on her emaciated cheeks, her eyes were deep-set, her lips were closed, and she looked serene.
Spring's eyes were full of tears, looking up and down at Liu Shuzhen, who was peacefully asleep, as if he had fallen asleep, he suddenly wondered if Feng Shu was playing a prank with himself, because Spring seemed to faintly hear Liu Shuzhen's faint breathing.
Spring squatted down beside the bed, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Liu Shuzhen's left hand, which was exposed outside the line blanket, and the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand were on Liu Shuzhen's wrist, Liu Shuzhen's body was still a trace of warmth, but there was no pulse.
"It's useless, I've been walking for half an hour..." Feng Shu, who followed up, said softly to Spring.
"Koharu, you come here, there are some things we can discuss together..." As soon as Feng Shu's voice fell, Feng Changxi in the hall also opened his mouth to greet Spring.
Spring stood up and wiped the tears from her face, looked down at Liu Shuzhen, who was lying peacefully on the bed like a baby, and then let out a long sigh.
Who would know in the spring that for Liu Shuzhen, a gentle, virtuous and pitiful woman, it would be a relief to say goodbye quietly like this.
