Chapter 204: The Spirit Shed is Far and Near
It turned out that the second cripple, Wang Changshui's brothers, and Wang Changrun, were the grandsons of the first master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The grandfather of the second cripple had three sons, the eldest Wang Tingsen was the father of the second cripple, the second Wang Tingshu was Wang Changrun's father, and the third Wang Tinglin was the father of Wang Changshui's brothers.
When the elder brothers were young, the family was quite rich. After they all grew up and became a family, a family business was divided into three parts, and the life of the old brothers was also average.
The eldest Wang Tingsen died of a serious illness when his second son Wang Changgeng was two or three years old. When the eldest son was a teenager, he died of smallpox.
Wang Tingsen's wife pampered his only second son, Wang Changgeng, and Wang Changgeng developed the habit of eating and being lazy since he was a child.
Orphans and widows have a hard time, and they can't sell two acres of land to make ends meet. Later, the days became more difficult, and Wang Changgeng added the bad problem of stealing chickens and touching dogs.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was caught stealing something, and the family discounted one of their legs and became lame. Since then, the second cripple has become his nickname.
The second Wang Tingshu likes to work hard and is greedy for enjoyment, and he goes to two acres of land every once in a short time for him to eat and drink.
The third Wang Tinglin is a person who lives a life, and he is very distressed when he sees the eldest brother and the second brother going to the ground. I thought to myself: It is not easy for my ancestors and fathers to put down these lands, and I can't say anything that can fall into the hands of outsiders! I said to my two brothers and sisters-in-law:
"Tell me when you want to go, and I will stay as long as I can. As much as others give you, I will give you. The land of the ancestors, try not to take it out. When you want to redeem it, I will give it to you as it is. ”
When the two families heard about it, they felt that it was better than selling to outsiders: if they had it, they would be better at talking than others even if they borrowed it. Just go to the land, and tell him. In order to keep his ancestral business, Wang Tinglin bought it every time.
Wang Tinglin's mind and economy, because he spent all his time on recovering the land of his eldest brother and second brother, neglected to build a house, and a family of more than a dozen people was crammed into a house.
When the eldest and second families had almost disposed of the land, and the third child had all bought it, the land reform movement began.
At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law had passed away, and the family was lame alone, and because there was a house with a few acres of broken land, it was classified as a middle peasant component.
Because the second child sold the land, his son Wang Changrun married a wife and had children, and the family had a large population and little property, so he was classified as a poor middle peasant;
The third child bought the land of the two families and was zoned as a rich peasant.
For this reason, Wang Tinglin, the third elder, was killed in a fight; Wang Li even cried as soon as he was beaten: "What kind of evil has I suffered? People have sold their land, eaten, drunk, and enjoyed themselves, and have become poor peasants; my family has saved money to buy them, but they have become rich peasants." I'm unjustly dead!"
For this reason, the second family and the third family are very separate and do not interact with each other. After the death of the second son, Wang Changrun's daughter-in-law Tong Gui was also a poor middle peasant with her mother's family, and the third aunt and family, who looked down on the rich peasant component, had a worse relationship than before.
The bottom of the spiritual shed is far and near, and the death of the second lame man brought the two families together.
The second eldest Wang Tingshu has only one son, named Changrun, and married his wife Tong Guisui.
Wang Changrun and his wife have two sons and a daughter: the eldest son, Wang Guiqing, is 16 years old this year, the daughter Wang Xiuchan, who is 13 years old this year, and the second son, Wang Guitian, is 10 years old this year.
The third son, Wang Tinglin, has three sons: the eldest son Wang Changshui, the second son Wang Changqiao, and the third son Wang Changlu.
Wang Changshui married his wife Lu Jinman, and the couple had two sons and two daughters: the eldest son, Wang Guicai, who is 15 years old this year, the eldest daughter, Wang Xiuju, who is 12 years old this year, the second daughter, Wang Xiuchun, who is 10 years old this year, and the second son, Wang Guida, who is 6 years old this year.
Wang Changqiao married his wife, Liu, and the couple had a daughter and two sons. daughter Wang Xiuqiu, eleven years old this year, eldest son Wang Guihong, eight years old this year, and second son Wang Guiyun, four years old this year.
Wang Changlu married his wife Hu Xinzi, and the couple had only one son, named Wang Guilai, who was only four years old this year.
These people are generally far from the relationship with the second lame. The children of the same generation presided over the funeral, and the children of the next generation accompanied the mourning. From the sixteen-year-old Wang Guiqing to the four-year-old Wang Guilai and Wang Guiyun, the boys wear filial piety hats and the girls wear filial piety belts, and none of them miss.
More than a dozen children wore filial piety hats and filial piety belts, waiting in the mourning shed and outside, as long as there were those who came to mourn, they knelt down and cried, and kowtowed to the condolences.
According to folk customs, there are stepdaughters, and there are so many uncles, nephews, and nieces to accompany the spirit, and the second cripple is also in his forties, so he has to stay at home for three days before the funeral.
But Lamei didn't do it.
She knew that he had been infected with corpse poison, and although the corpse was charred, the weather was hot now, and if there was no burnt muscle rotting and flowing out of the corpse water, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Another is that she can't be separated from the spirit here, she can't pack the leftover meat dishes, and the mixed meat dishes in the canteen have to be broken.
Because this is a major event for the Wang family, his father Wang Changsuo's plan to take off the blank can only be postponed.
In view of these considerations, Lamei insisted on burying it on the same day.
But she is a small person, and no one who doesn't know is willing to take her opinion, but wants to eat more food by passing things!
- Anyway, Lamei took out a lot of money, and she can also ask for it for the white-haired grandmother, and if she seizes the opportunity, she won't eat it for nothing!
Lamei saw that no one listened to her, so she had to take out the "white-haired grandmother" and say something: "The white-haired grandmother said that my stepfather must be funeral on the same day." ”
"Why?" the people asked, puzzled.
Lamei: "I don't know why. Anyway, the white-haired grandmother said that he was a bad star, and it was not good for the people around him to keep it at home. ”
Those who are burned to death are horizontal deaths and are generally considered unlucky. As soon as they heard that it was a "bad star" and that it was said by a white-haired grandmother, people believed it even more.
"If you bury it on the same day, you will bury it on the same day," said Wang Lishi, "and he is parked in the courtyard, although there is a spiritual shed, who will come to keep a vigil for him at night? ”
At this time, in this family, Wang Li's generation is the largest, and he is the second lame's own aunt, and his words account for weight.
Therefore, people hurriedly dug graves and made preparations for the funeral.
There was a controversy over who broke the banner and broke the basin.
The banner refers to the person who holds the banner at the funeral of the deceased. At the time of the funeral, walk in the forefront. It is mostly cut out of white paper. It is also called a soul-attracting flag.
Falling a basin is a clay basin when starting the bar, and it is an important procedure for the person who beats the banner.
The pot is broken once, and even the more broken the better, because according to custom, this pot is the deceased's pot, and the more broken it is, the more convenient it is for the deceased to carry. As soon as the tile basin fell, the barman got up and officially went out of the funeral. The funeral procession accompanied the party.
According to folk customs, if the deceased has no son, he can have a nephew, and if he does not have a nephew, he appoints a junior who is close to the branch and breaks the pot for him.
The price is that the deceased's household belongings, such as furniture, farm tools, livestock, etc., have to be left to the bearer to choose one at will.
The second lame's belongings were all burned down, and the only thing of value was this house. This also means: whoever beats the second lame man and breaks the basin, who will accept his house.
