At this time, the family had all come over, and Chenjia Village was originally dominated by the surname Chen, and now although there are eight or nine other surnames, the number is not large.

I couldn't hear Chen Shu's crying, but when I saw the tears in Chen Shu's eyes, the family looked at Chen Shu kneeling in front of his grandfather, and their hearts were very sad. It took about ten minutes before several uncles helped him up.

"Get up, there will be mourners in a while, it's not a matter for you to cry like this all the time, if you cry so much in your body, who will deal with it?" while persuading, he pulled Chen Shu out of the house.

"Your grandfather walked peacefully, and he didn't suffer any offense, but he left in half an hour. When I got up in the morning, I ate some food and drank a bowl of millet porridge, and your father helped him to go to the toilet and came back with his legs, and your mother and your sister-in-law hurriedly called someone. ”

"When everyone came over, your grandfather said a few words, and then left! Actually, your grandfather is in his nineties, look at it, there is nothing to regret in this life. The two of them persuaded Chen Shu outside, only hoping that Chen Shu would want to open up.

"It's okay! I just came back, and I felt very uncomfortable when I saw that the people who were guarding me were suddenly gone, and I will be fine after a while, so I don't have to worry about it. Did you report to the Xiang, how to say that my grandfather is also a veteran, and the above should be notified. Chen Shu said.

"Your grandfather just called without your uncle, it should be someone soon. Do you have any friends to notify? If not, prepare for tomorrow's funeral. Uncle Ben at home asked.

"There's nothing to notify, after all, it's not good to have too many notices across generations. Don't let everyone say that our family is stingy, you're right, my grandfather is over 90 years old, and there is nothing to regret!" Chen Shu lifted his spirit, wiped the corner of his eye with his hand and said.

"Set half a pig, it should be enough, today there are many people in the village to ask when the funeral, just now the family discussed is to mourn today, tomorrow to spark, two o'clock in the afternoon funeral, the car is set. ”

"Well, you just look at the arrangement, what you need to buy and prepare, you can just find me. Chen Shu said.

"It's okay! Your dad has already explained in advance, and the money is ready, don't worry. A few people persuaded again, and then left to get busy, and Chen Yongping also came out of the house and stopped beside Chen Shu.

Grandpa is in his nineties, and there is nothing to remember. If you think your family is messy, let Wang Zilan and them go to my house, anyway, there is no one else at home. Chen Yongping said.

"No need brother, no one goes to that house, and the house is not so messy!" Chen Shu went to the tap water to wash his face, wiped it clean and walked to his room, the two children and Wang Zilan were in the house.

"Dad, why are there so many people in our house? They all wear white cloths on their heads, is something wrong? There are so many people crying. Wang Mengfei saw Chen Shu coming in, and came up and began to ask.

"There was an accident at home, your grandfather died, and they all came to see your grandfather for the last time. Chen Shu squatted down and spoke to Wang Mengfei, his tone was very calm.

"What is the death?" Wang Mengfei asked.

"This ...... Death is death, just like a person sleeps and falls asleep, just lying there and never waking up again, and can't play with our family Feifei! Don't think about this, what is my sister doing?" Chen Shu said seriously.

"My sister wet the bed, and my mother put a diaper on her. After speaking, he took Chen Shu's hand and walked to the bedroom, and just saw Wang Zilan put the sheets back, and the dirty sheets were piled on the ground.

"Let's put it aside, I'll go to the back to cool off in a while, and then wash it together in two days, are you okay?" asked Chen Shu.

"It's okay, you should also pay attention to your body! I want to go over and kowtow to my grandfather a few times. Wang Zilan said.

Xiaofei looked at her sister, don't touch it, her mother will come back soon. Wang Zilan said, and Xiaofei responded.

The stage outside has been erected, and two groups of rural theater troupes have set up the stage, with an aisle in the middle, and many people who are a little older are watching the play here.

Of course, these people not only sing Hebei Bangzi, Pingju and other dramas, but also many young people who sing some popular songs interspersed here.

The people who came to help at home smoked all Yuxi cigarettes, the wine was all eighteen wine shops, and even the singing troupe felt flattered.

It's only 2,000 yuan to invite them to sing, and the village is all at this price, and they won't quote a high price code just because this family is rich, but the consumption of smoking and drinking for them is five or six hundred yuan, and they have never met such a generous master.

In other places, they don't give more bottles of wine to drink, they give one cigarette and two bottles of wine for half a day, and tomorrow there is still half a day, and then arrange for two people to blow the horn and send it to the cemetery.

Now the gang was embarrassed, and finally it was decided that all six people who could blow the trumpet would follow them to the cemetery, including another wave of singing.

The night gradually enveloped the whole village, Chen Shu's house was still brightly lit, and the people who came to help left one after another after dinner, and the hustle and bustle was followed by silence, which made the hearts of the bereaved relatives a little empty.

"Brother, go to sleep for a while, I'll just keep watch. Chen Shu looked at his brother's tired eyes and said seriously.

"Well, I'll come back to replace you later!" After speaking, my brother got up and left, and Chen Shu sat down next to the spiritual bed, with incense and candles placed at the head of the bed. According to the customs of the hometown, the incense cannot be broken, the candle cannot be extinguished, and of course, only close relatives will come to wake the spirit.

Whenever the incense is about to burn out, the old tree will light it again, and replace it again when the candle is almost burned out. When it was almost nine o'clock, many people came over one after another, four mahjong tables were placed on the second floor above the grandfather's room, and two tables were placed on the first floor, and those gambling money would choose to come at this time. Because of customs, the police station did not dare to come to the door to catch gambling.

The brightest light in the foyer where the funeral bed was placed was turned off, so as not to shine on the corpse all the time, so Chen Shu sat next to him and guarded, and sat quietly for two hours. The cousin came over to replace Chen Shu and let him rest, and he had to drive to the cremation tomorrow so as not to be tired.

Chen Shu didn't go back to the room, he lay down on the bed in his mother's room and fell asleep, just worried that if something happened to greet him, it would be convenient to find himself. At four o'clock in the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of talking, those who played mahjong were over, and the people who lost money were very angry, and the voice of the voice was a little louder, and Chen Shu didn't bother to pay attention to them.

In fact, the village is like this, those who win money are smiling, and those who lose red eyes also have hands-on fights, which is also one aspect of Chen Shu's stay away from gambling. Fortunately, these people only spoke a few words loudly, and there was no conflict.

The next day, Chen Shu, his brother and three cousins all knelt and sat in the mourning hall arranged, and those who came to mourn knelt down to thank them, and they knelt all morning. When it was almost noon, the hearse came, and the body needed to be pulled to cremation, and Chen Shu's village was relatively close to the cremation plant in Wuji County, so they all went there.

Chen Shu's heart has calmed down a lot now, when he went to the cremation at noon, his father stayed at home and did not go, and the uncle and several cousins got on the hearse to go to the cremation plant. Because it is also necessary to issue a cremation certificate, which must be signed by an immediate family member, the uncle just happened to do all these things.

After the corpse was pushed in, several cousins and uncles were waiting here, because there was no urn prepared in advance, so they could only choose one here.

"Chen Shu, you look at it, choose one, you don't have to be too sad, your grandfather really has no regrets, he is so old and even met his comrades-in-arms more than sixty years ago, now we are living so well, there is nothing to remember, don't think about it." The uncle patted Chen Shu on the shoulder and comforted Chen Shu.

"Got it, uncle!" he looked at the uncle, then walked to the display case, and several cousins followed.

"Chen Shu, what kind of one do you want to choose?" asked a cousin.

"You can do anything, and it's better not to be too expensive, so as not to be remembered. A few people thought about it, and it would be too unfilial if they couldn't go into the ground, so they simply omitted the idea of buying a particularly expensive one.

The cheapest one has 300 yuan, the simplest wooden one has the simplest wooden one, and the most expensive one has crystal inlaid gold for more than 30,000 yuan. A few cousins and uncles looked around and selected a 2,400 yuan, Chen Shu went back to the car and took the handbag over to settle the money, and the uncle held it with both hands and waited for the cremation to end......
