Unlike other places, Yunhua uses sarcophagi instead of wooden coffins. Because the sarcophagus is not easy to build, when everyone is old, from 50 to 60, they will choose a good cemetery, and then build the sarcophagus and put it in the cemetery, and when the person dies, he will directly carry the person into the sarcophagus with a wooden plank. The cemetery here is also very distinctive, with small houses made of stone or brick, and the sarcophagus is sealed under the house.

- From this point of view, the house in which the living live is inferior to that of the dead.

And there is a custom here, the sarcophagus cannot be built by yourself, but by your children's descendants, which is considered an alternative kind of filial piety. Moreover, the sarcophagus in the custom is made early, which is good for the living. It seems that once the sarcophagus is built, people will only live longer.

And Song Mengli, she is only eighteen years old, and she is not married and will not have children.

Of course, this has not happened before, and it is usually a sarcophagus in the name of a nephew and niece.

- No one wants to take on this kind of work without the name of the younger generation, and it is said that it is unlucky and will make their family unlucky. Even if it is advertised everywhere in this era that superstition cannot be made, but it really involves itself, everyone still regrets their lives.

But this will, not to mention that the sarcophagus will not be able to be built in a while, the key is that although Song Mengli has a younger brother who is about to get married, not to mention that the younger brother is not married, and the child is gone.

Huanxi thinks it's just a small thing, but the adults are waiting for it. Later, it was a big fuss to her.

"Uncle Shaoli came back and proposed to find someone to set the coffin in the name of Uncle Jianxiu's eldest grandson, but Uncle Jianxiu refused, saying that it was unlucky for the family. Song Weimin sighed, "The brothers heard that the quarrel was fierce, and Uncle Shaoli almost made a move. ”

Huanxi frowned, "Can't you go buy a wooden coffin?"

"It's not that I don't want to, anyway, it's already New China now, and the remnants of feudalism have to be destroyed, but the key is that none of us will make wooden coffins, and the entire commune has nowhere to buy it. Song Weimin whispered: "That is, in our place, it's okay to make it like this, I heard that there are already many people in the county town who are unlucky because of the funeral." ”

This matter was finally resolved after Song Yanqing returned, and he proposed to use the name of his eldest brother Song Yifa's son Song Mengyu to make a sarcophagus for Song Mengli.

- Although Song Mengyu is more than ten years older than Song Mengli, she is indeed Song Mengli's cousin in terms of generation.

Song Yanqing would say this, naturally she had already obtained the consent of the parties.

Now, Song Jianxiu is satisfied, and Song Shaoli is also satisfied.

As long as you have a name, it will be easy to go to the coffin again. In fact, the sarcophagus they have here is not a very delicate object, as long as a man with the strength can do it. Song Mengli even moved the body back, and was in a hurry to use the sarcophagus, at this time, it was not a double robbery, everyone was still happy to help.

It took three days for Song Mengli's sarcophagus to finally be ready.

Huanxi saw it but sighed, she could see that Song Mengping and their uncles had a few families, and Song Yanqing was basically running around to solve the problem. This man has all the abilities and means, but ...... You must know that in the entire Songjiazhuang, the conditions of Song Mengping's family are innumerably poor, and they still live in a thatched house.

I heard that the people who Song Yanqing took to work could make a lot of extra money every year in addition to the money they paid for their work, but the money Song Yanqing got back every year was worth only his own work.

The reason why this is the case is because Song Yanqing spends all the money to socialize and find work and build relationships with others. So he is obviously a foreman, but he doesn't make as much money as the people under him.

This is really a realistic version of sacrificing me alone, happy you, me and him.

Such a stupid person, Huanxi has never met a second one in his two lives.

After that, Song Mengping and Huanxi talked about one thing.

"My dad said he wouldn't go to Province X when he came back this year. ”

Just when Huanxi thought that this person understood, he heard Song Mengping say: "My fourth uncle and they are not happy to go out, and they want to rest for two years." But my aunt is very happy, she was not happy with my father going out two years earlier. ”

Huanxi was speechless for a moment, why does this person do everything for others? No wonder Aunt Xiyuan doesn't want her husband to go out, the money earned by separating husband and wife is no different from working at home, and no one is happy about this. ”

"My father originally planned to move our family to Province X, and he said that it was good, there were many fields, and a place as big as our commune would not have as many people as we had a brigade. Song Mengping said: "But my aunt disagreed, she said that her mother's home was far away, and it was even farther away when she went to X Province." ”

She said with a relieved expression: "I was shocked, if we go to Province X, won't we have to separate? ”

Huanxi sighed secretly when she heard this, aside from the point of separating from her friends, she privately thought that it was a good thing for Song Mengping's family to move to Province X. Song Yanqing's brothers may be more polite if they are far away.

Staying in Songjiazhuang, if Song Yanqing's temperament does not change, it will only be Song Mengping's sister and brother who will suffer at that time.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the school is also going to be closed, and before the holiday, there will naturally be exams. For Huanxi, the test paper is not difficult, but she did a quick check, and ran out after handing in the paper in a hurry, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Meizhen and Fengzhen were obediently waiting and didn't run around.

- Classes are just a matter of course, and these children have to wait outside the classroom during exams.

"Sister!" Seeing Huanxi, Meizhen suddenly smiled, Fengzhen's language skills were not enough, but she ran over directly and hugged Huanxi's feet.

When Song Aiguo came out of the classroom, the group packed their schoolbags and went back - Teacher Jiang had already said that they could go back by themselves after the exam, and they would go to school to get their report cards in a week.

The group came out of the school, and not long after they left, something happened.

"That's Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Lotus!" Song Aiguo said, pointing to the two girls walking in front of him.

Huanxi didn't care at all, but when she heard the words, she looked up, and sure enough, it was Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Hehua, these two people were thirteen years old and eleven years old, but they looked the same as seven or eight years old. As for looks...... The girls of the Zhou family really don't have much to look at, they are all dry anyway.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it's for me and others, Huanxi gave Song Aiguo a look and asked him to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

The two sides soon met, and Zhou Lianhua took the lead in standing in front of Huanxi, with one hand, and said, "Huanxi, hand over the food in your hands!"

"That's it!" Zhou Hehua, who was following behind, nodded and said with an indignant face: "You haven't given me food for a long time!"
