After thinking about it all night, Yan Yuxiang also figured it out, Yan Yufu didn't fight for the name of this boss, why should he fight, as long as he could make him fulfill his filial piety, he would already be very satisfied.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yan Yuxiang was napping in front of his mother's ice coffin, and heard a noise in the courtyard, it turned out to be time to burn the paper.

Yan Yuxiang heard the sound of firecrackers in the yard, for fear of missing the solemn procedure of burning the paper, so he hurriedly rushed out with his filial piety stick, according to common sense, this should be the eldest in the family to take the lead in doing things, but Yan Yuxiang saw that Yan Yuming knelt in front, and Yan Yufu knelt in the second row.

Yan Yuxiang sighed and shook his head, just wanted to step forward and kneel, but saw Yan Yuming stand up and say, "The hour has not yet come, why are you in a hurry." And when he had said this, he went back alone.

Yan Yuxiang looked at Yan Yufu who stood up, and when Yan Yufu turned his head, he just happened to see that he was looking at himself, and his eyes quickly avoided it.

Yan Yuxiang knew that the points of this hour were not as strict as those of the card, and Yan Yuming was completely targeting himself by doing this. But he had just figured out the truth of trying to persuade himself to be patient, so he ignored Yan Yuxiang's behavior, but stood up and patted the dust on his body, and returned to the house.

When he was about to sit down, he only heard a crackling sound in the yard, it turned out that Yan Yuming was about to start burning the paper again, Yan Yuxiang had no choice but to pick up the filial piety stick and go out again.

It took so many times that I finally got this thing done. After finishing this matter, Yan Yufu looked at Yan Yuxiang, and Yan Yuxiang said in his heart: "This is the result of your connivance!"

Today is particularly busy, so people are here early in the morning.

Yan Xiuping was home alone, worried about her husband, and didn't sleep well all night. I finally waited until dawn, so I hurriedly cleaned up, and I arrived very early.

After everyone arrived, I saw Yan Yuming take out a large piece of white paper from the house, on which were written four big characters "List of Deacons", which is a unique term for funerals in the village, which is to circle the people who want to work.

Everyone rushed up to look for their names, but before they could find themselves, they first saw the chief steward who was written on the front...... Yan Yuming.

It stands to reason that when the family is mourning, he can only be a filial son, not the chief manager, and this chief manager must be his own elders. But Yan Yuming doesn't care about these "red tape".

This decision attracted a lot of criticism from everyone, but everyone had an attitude of watching a good show, but no one stopped it, and some elders in the family or people who were not on the deacon list thought that more things were better than less, so they avoided them as soon as possible.

What is even more ridiculous is that there are many new faces on the list of deacons drawn up by Yan Yuming, and in the end, after being questioned, it is only found out that he is Yan Cheng's "buddy"! Yan Yuming would rather use his teenage children to help him handle his mother's funeral than use the elders of the family. Of course, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, and what he is for, others also know.

Yan Yuxiang didn't care about this, but trouble always came to the door.

It stands to reason that filial piety has no work, so he usually kneels in front of his mother's ice coffin, but except for Yan Yuxiang, Yan Yufu and Yan Yuming rarely go to the funeral room, let alone Dongzi's aunts.

After a while, I saw Yan Yufu walk in and said, "Yuxiang, I'm ...... I have something to tell you. ”

Yan Yuxiang kowtowed to his mother three times before he stood up and said, "What's the matter?"

Yan Yufu said: "Yuming said...... Yu Ming said that we should pay 20,000 yuan each!"

Yan Yuxiang said angrily: "Wow, you two go out first, I'll get it now!"

Yan Yufu said: "I don't have it, I want to see if you have it here, borrow me first." ”

Yan Yuxiang looked at his brother and said, "I have it, but I can't borrow this money from you!"

Maybe Yan Yufu already knew that this was the result, Yan Yuxiang looked at him like this, and he couldn't bear it, and said, "Yuming didn't point you?"

Yan Yufu said: "I don't know how much money my mother left behind, alas...... My son deserves to be a wreck!" he said as he pounded his chest with his hand!

Yan Yufu looked at the eldest brother like this, and said: "Don't say anything now, let me ask you, you are also a person who has lived for such an age, you have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, how much do you think it costs to hold a funeral in the village?"

Yan Yufu looked at Yan Yuxiang's eyes and said, "It should be...... It shouldn't be more than 20,000, right?"

Yan Yuxiang sneered: "You still know this! Then why didn't you keep silent when Yuming asked you to pay 20,000?"

Yan Yufu said: "What do I say! Alas, you don't know that Yu Ming, if you make a fuss in front of so many people, which of our three brothers will have a good face?" After a pause, he said again: "I know it won't cost 60,000 yuan, but Yu Ming is a scoundrel now, you said that if he really does something that makes the whole village laugh, our family ...... Isn't it even more despised by people!"

Yan Yuxiang snorted and said, "You still know the face of this family, why didn't you stand up and speak for me when I stopped it at the beginning, it's good now, it's a situation, what do you let me do?"

Yan Yufu sighed and said: "Mom loved Yuming the most when she was alive, although my life is not as good as you now, but it is better than Yuming, let's let him this time, the adults are gone, and the future days will be their own." At the mention of his parents, Yan Yufu's eyes moistened.

Yan Yuxiang looked at Yan Yufu's expression, knowing that as the boss of the family, he actually had to worry more than himself, and he had to worry about this family!

Yan Yuxiang's heart softened, and said: "Okay, I'll get the money for you, I don't have to pay back the money, the rest belongs to Yuming, you tell him, just say that this is the last time I will help him as a brother, and I will go by myself in the future!" After saying this, he turned around and went out.

Only Yan Yufu's lonely back was left in the room, and he fell to the ground with a thud, covering his face with his hands, and kowtowing heavily to his mother.

Yan Yuxiang found his wife Yan Xiuping, told her what Yan Yufu said just now, and said, "You go to the credit union now to withdraw 40,000 yuan." ”

Yan Xiuping didn't agree at this time, and was about to fight back, only to hear Yan Yuxiang pull her and say: "You listen to me today, I'll explain to you when it's over, the public, our matter is not good-looking, if you make trouble today, it will be even worse-looking, no matter what, you have to deal with the dead Grandma Dongzi!"

Yan Xiuping held back her anger and said, "Yan Yuxiang, I'll get you money today, but I also have a word, if I want to trouble Yan Yuming in the future, don't stop me!"

Yan Yuxiang nodded heavily!

The funeral expenses are also over, although the funeral cost a lot of money in name, but in the eyes of the villagers, it is also the same as the specifications of ordinary people. couldn't help but ridicule Yan Yuming, the chief manager. said that he fell into the eyes of money and couldn't get out!

In the afternoon, the three girls of Yan Yuxiang's family all came back, and as granddaughters, they used the best things for their grandmothers. Yan Yuxiang was very satisfied with the children's behavior, and the only one who was not satisfied was Dongzi. Yan Yuxiang hadn't had time to call him and reprimand him, but he scolded in his heart: "This stinky boy, I'll clean you up when you come back!"

It is said that Yan Yuxiang's three girls are slim and slim, and they all came back from the city, so their speech and demeanor are very decent, so that the people in the village can't help but give them a thumbs up.

Yan Xiuping told the three girls how Yan Yuming was excessive, especially Qiu'er, who has a good temper in the past few years, and when she heard that her father was bullied by others, she was so angry that she didn't even call her uncle, so she had to find Yan Yuming to see her!

After all, Chun'er is big, and she thinks more than her sisters, but she grabbed Qiu'er and said, "Dad has his own reasons for doing this, don't stir it up first." ”

In this way, Yan Yuxiang's family, under his leadership, endured humiliation and suffered a heavy burden on the day of his mother's burial.

It was raining lightly that day, and there was a kind of coolness in the air, the newly built cemetery of Grandma Dongzi was still some way away from the village, Yan Yuxiang was really a good hand at spending money, he was holding the 40,000 yuan that the two brothers handed over to him, as for whether he paid for it himself, no one knew.

He spent a lot of money to find sixteen young and strong people in the village to carry the coffin, according to the custom of the Yan family, the firecrackers on the funeral are all in charge of the girls, and Aunt Dongzi is also to show her financial resources, so she is very pompous at this point.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after the sacrifice of the Yan family ancestral hall, I heard the onmyoji shouting: "Close the coffin!"

The filial sons of all men and women in the family knelt down in the yard together, and Yan Yuan came to kneel in the back, but when he saw his father Yan Yuming kneeling in the front, he jumped up from the ground with a bang, walked to the door of the mourning room, and knelt in front of Yan Yufu, second only to his father Yan Yuming.

With the sound of firecrackers, there was a cry at home, Yan Yuxiang's family was originally the largest part of the Yan family, so there were many filial sons, and this was because of Yan Yuming's excessive behavior, so many people did not show up because they couldn't get used to it.

The person carrying the coffin stepped forward to remove the door panel at the door of the funeral room, and then put a thick and strong rope around the coffin, and put two logs in the place where the rope was robbed, and the eight people shouted together: "Get up!" I saw that the coffin of Grandma Fuyuko was lifted.

The next step is to go to the open space in front of the stage in the village to go up to worship, and the person who carries the coffin in the middle cannot rest, because according to the Onmyoji, no matter where it is, as long as the coffin hits the ground, it means that this is the place chosen by the deceased, and it must be buried here.

The eight men carried the coffin to the stage, where two people had already prepared a bench, and when they put the coffin on the bench, the drum band began to play.

The next thing is the time to show the strength of the family, all the younger generation has a little ability, at this time they need to stuff some money into the drum band, and then go to the coffin of Grandma Fuyuko and cry bitterly, accompanied by the bleak music of the band, and the feeling of slaughter is moving. This ritual is called: Road Matsuri.

According to the convention, it should be the closest junior generation to start first, Chun'er has already been explained by her father Yan Yuxiang to stuff money into the drum band, and they are ranked second. Second only to a goddaughter recognized by Grandma Fuyuko.

finally waited until the end of the first game, only to hear Yan Yuming shout: "The second scene, Yan Cheng!" Yan Cheng belongs to the righteous filial son, and he doesn't need to go to the front road to sacrifice, but Yan Yuming let his son participate in order to show his broadness, which is nothing, but it has to occupy Chun'er's ranking, which makes Yan Xiuping and the three girls very dissatisfied.

The three sisters found the drum band to theorize, and just when a group of people were arguing, Yan Yuxiang shouted behind his back: "Chun'er, nonsense!"

When the three sisters heard their father's reprimand, they stopped talking, knowing that their father was still looking after the overall situation. Fortunately, Yan Yuming didn't go too far this time, after all, he wanted to show the whole village, so after Yan Cheng, he lined up at Yan Yuxiang's house.

It was five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Yuxiang was very tired, but he couldn't go home to rest, he had to go back to the mourning room to clean up the house, thank the guests, and pack up his things before he could finish it.

Just as Yan Yuxiang was walking home while taking off his filial piety clothes, he was stopped by Yan Cheng. I saw Yan Cheng with a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people, standing at the door, very arrogant.

I only heard Yan Chengdao: "Now that the matter is done, this is my house, you can't go in!" It turned out that he had already been arranged by his father, and he didn't even send his own grandmother to the grave, so he hurried home to arrange this good scene.

Yan Yuxiang said angrily: "This is my house, why don't you let me in, just rely on you children? Today I see that it is your elders, and I don't want to beat you, you get out of the way for me!"

But instead of being afraid, these children took out sticks from their clothes pockets, apparently with adults behind them!

Yan Yuxiang said: "Okay, Yan Cheng, you remember your behavior today, I want to make you regret it!" After speaking, he didn't plan to go in.

Yan Yuxiang was not afraid of these children, but he felt that he couldn't say anything about beating the children as an elder, Yan Yuxiang thought again: Yan Cheng has only been educated by his shameless father now, and he will understand when he grows up.

Yan Cheng saw that he had "scared" his own uncle, and he was very proud, and said: "My dad said, all this is my family, don't rob it!"

Yan Yuxiang sneered, ignored him again, and turned around and went home!
