Chapter 497: Funeral Customs
At this moment, only a squeak was heard, and the door to the operating room opened.
"Doctor. Xue Qigui stepped forward and said.
"Doctor. Xue Rui and Cheng Chuifan also surrounded him.
"Who's the patient's daughter?" the doctor asked.
"It's me. Xue Rui said.
"Come in, your mother has something to say to you. ”
"How's my wife, doctor?" asked Xue Qigui.
"We've done our best. ”
"What?"
"How is that possible? Mommy, Mommy—" Hearing the doctor say that they had done their best, Xue Rui had a feeling of five thunderbolts.
Xue Rui hurriedly followed the doctor into the operating room. On the operating table, Xue Rui's mother was lying upright, with no blood on her face.
"Mommy, Mommy—" Xue Rui cried at the sight of her mother, and she grabbed her mother's hand, "I'm Rarity, Rarity!"
Xue Rui's mother opened her eyes with difficulty, and her eyes seemed to be unable to move, "Yes...... Rarity?"
Xue Rui nodded repeatedly, "It's Rarity, it's Rarity." ”
"I, I'm finally, waiting for you. Xue Rui's mother said extremely weakly. "If you don't come again, I, I, I can't stand it. ”
"Mom—why are you doing this?"
"You go—ask, ask your father, you—tell him, I, I won't forgive him in death. ”
"Why is that?"
"I ......" Xue Rui's mother couldn't say a word anymore, her lips squirmed hard, but to no avail, she couldn't catch it in one breath and left.
"Mommy, Mommy—" Xue Rui pushed his mother's body.
"Little girl, your mother is gone. A medical worker came and pulled Xue Rui away, and another medical staff covered Xue Rui's mother's face with a blanket.
They carried Xue Rui's mother's body onto the wheelbarrow bed and then pushed it outside the operating room.
"Mommy, Mommy—Mommy—" Xue Rui walked down the aisle with his handbrow.
"Wife, wife-" Xue Qigui choked with grief.
……
Xue Rui and Xue Qigui are both in extreme grief, and all kinds of affairs can only be handled by Cheng Chuifan.
Of course, Cheng Chuifan did not forget to call back to Jiang Village. There was such a big thing in Xue Rui's family, and he Cheng Chuifan could only stay and help. Fortunately, the main procedures of the engagement have been completed, and the remaining matters such as determining the wedding date and discussing many matters on the wedding day (including how many divorce gifts and resignation ceremonies) can be determined by both parties, so there is nothing to worry about.
Everyone felt sorry for Xue Rui.
At the hospital end, Xue Rui and Xue Qigui had a dispute over the placement of Xue Rui's mother's body, Xue Rui insisted on taking his mother's body home, while Xue Qigui suggested sending it directly to the funeral home.
Living in a commercial house, which is on the third and fourth floors, it is obviously unrealistic to carry the body back. It is also impossible to set up a mourning hall in a commercial house.
That's the difference between the city and the country.
In the countryside, every family has its own courtyard, the family is old, and it is understandable to set up a mourning hall at home, but in the city, you live in a commercial house, and do this kind of thing, that is the biggest disrespect to the neighbors. As soon as the person died, he was directly dragged to the funeral home. Vigils for the dead are also arranged at funeral homes.
And the reason why Xue Qigui insisted on going directly to the funeral home was another reason, he was afraid that the blood in the kitchen at home would be seen by Xue Rui. Xue Rui will definitely be even more sad when he sees it.
The two sides had a dispute, Cheng Chuifan had no choice but to mediate, Cheng Chuifan combined various factors, and felt that it was more appropriate to send it to the funeral home, so Xue Rui had to give up.
It is also not easy to manage funeral matters. The big aspect is, of course, Xue Qigui is in charge, and Cheng Chuifan is in charge of all kinds of small things, don't look at these little things, it is also very cumbersome. Just staying in the store that sells funeral goods is about an hour, what kind of burning paper, incense, sacrificial goods, a lot of it. And you can't always think about it. It's not uncommon to find out that you forgot to buy something when you have to use it. Fortunately, Cheng Chuifan has a motorcycle, and it doesn't take much time to run a trip.
As the news of Xue Rui's mother's suicide spread, people came to the funeral home one after another to visit (condole), and Cheng Chuifan helped Xue Rui receive these people.
Xue Rui was responsible for receiving gift money, registering the names of those who came to mourn, and giving a towel to each visitor in return. Cheng Chuifan was responsible for guiding the visitors to light incense and burn paper in front of Xue Rui's mother's coffin to kneel and bow down, while pouring tea for them.
Sending a towel to the people who come to mourn and pouring water for the people who come to the mourning hall to pay their respects are all Yangjiang funeral customs. The mourners must drink saliva, because doing so will remove bad luck and bad luck. Towels are a form of etiquette.
This busyness lasted until six or seven o'clock in the evening. A large group of people from the Public Security Bureau came to keep vigil for Xue Rui's mother. Xue Qigui's position as the head of the public security bureau has been adjusted and has not yet been distributed, so there are naturally more people who are willing to come to the vigil.
Of course, even if the news spreads, there will still be people who come to the vigil.
Throughout Yangjiang County, the fact is that there is a custom in the entire Hua'an area where people die to hold vigil for the dead. There is also an unwritten saying in Yangjiang County that the first night of the burial of the dead must be a vigil by their own family, and some other nights are replaced by relatives, friends, and neighbors. The family only needs to do a good job of service.
This practice is very scientific. If every night is a vigil by one's own people, three or four nights in a row, or even longer, then the whole family will be extremely tired. I don't sleep all night at night, and I have to take care of various affairs during the day, and my iron body will collapse.
Seeing that Xue Rui was finally free, and seeing that she had never communicated with Xue Qigui, Cheng Chuifan called her to a camphor tree outside the mourning hall that had been transplanted to the funeral home.
"Thank you, Exemplary. Xue Rui's eyes were swollen from crying. "I really don't know what to do without your help. ”
"Don't say that. People can't be resurrected after death, and the top priority is to do a good job of the funeral of the aunt, which is the best reward for the aunt. ”
"There's no way my mom would have killed herself for no reason. ”
"I know this, when the funeral is dealt with, Director Xue should want to know more about the reason for your mother's suicide than you. ”
"I'm sad that my mom committed suicide probably because of my dad. Xue Rui looked helpless.
"How is this possible? I said, why do you look hateful towards Director Xue. Isn't the relationship between Director Xue and his aunt very good? When they went to the provincial capital to pick me up together, everyone could feel this. Cheng Chuifan said.
"yes. My mother takes care of her family very much, as the wife of the director of the public security bureau, she takes care of my father's career and face, and gives everything for this family. ”
"I can see that my aunt and Director Xue also have a good relationship. ”
"yes. I remember my mother almost never had a fight with my father. My father often came home late at night or didn't come home on a long-term business trip because of socializing, work, etc., and my mother complained at most. Do you know what my mother said to me in the operating room before she died?"
