Li Zhaolan's classmate Zhou Jianle, since he was a child with his father living in Fuzhou, the couple is a public office in the town, the first is a daughter, both are literate people, the emancipation of the mind did not care, and later he opened his own company business to become bigger, often go back and forth to the printing and dyeing factory warp knitting factory in Jinfeng area, and some native bosses to drink and have fun, affected by it, feel that there is no face, the daughter is more than ten years old, and spend money to let his wife go to Hong Kong to give birth to a son.

There are many people who smuggled to the United States in the early years, and many of them went abroad to give birth to relatives and old friends, and they did not have the financial ability to go to Hong Kong or abroad to give birth, such as Chen Yingyu, who exchanged her daughter for her son, and she didn't know how her children were doing, but they raised other people's sons, and according to them, it took hundreds of thousands of dollars to marry back their daughters-in-law, which was really a big loss.

Chen Yingyu thought of changing to someone else's daughter, I don't know how she was doing, she only cried secretly, more sad than some wives who were sick and couldn't give birth, and who spent money to buy a son and came back, Hao Lina scolded her for being confused, how to give up her own flesh and blood.

Some customers learned that Hao Lina had two daughters, and they all persuaded her to have another son, saying that the hard-earned money would be someone else's in the future, and what did they say, the door to the ancestors without sons would be closed from now on, which was really inexplicable.

Hao Lina doesn't understand them, what age are they, they are still stuck in the previous concept of male superiority and inferiority, only one is allowed in rural Sichuan, and Granny Lan's grandchildren are, only after coming out did she know that there is such a policy, and there are more people in contact, and I learned that many provinces have such regulations, especially in some places in Guangdong, they all have three or four children, and there is no concept of only child, probably Sichuan has too many people, and the geographical conditions do not allow it, so the coercive means, the implementation of the national family planning policy, of course, there are also superbirths.

Sometimes, Hao Lina understands them again, and if she has the conditions, she may have another one.

The most incredible thing is the funeral of the dead in some parts of Fujian, which costs tens of thousands of dollars or millions, and the joke is that outsiders can't live and die, and the local people die and spend more money and can't afford to die.

After death, according to customs, the age of 49 can enter the ancestral hall, the body is stored in the ancestral hall of the village, which is very scientific, even in the summer will be a good protection of the body from decay, and then ask the person who specializes in these services to recite the scriptures and practice the practice, the time is at least 49 days or more, all those who are more close to the relatives must participate, these expenses are borne by the daughter, and the son will bear the burden if there is no daughter.

In the past, weddings and funerals had to be held for three days, but now it may be simplified to three meals considering that everyone is busy.

The funeral locals called going up the mountain, the night before the start of the banquet, the next morning three relatives and four friends gathered in the ancestral hall, after chanting the scriptures to hold the ceremony, set off to go up the mountain, in order not to delay the burial before 12 o'clock, the body has been cremated in advance.

The sorting is very particular, the sons of the coffin, in turn are the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the second generation is dressed in linen and filial piety white, the third generation is blue, the fourth generation is red, everyone in the family wants to participate, no matter where in the world, they have to rush back, behind are relatives and friends, all kinds of bands, blowing and blowing, the team is at least two kilometers, it is very spectacular, blocking the highway to block traffic, passing pedestrians and vehicles consciously avoid.

Whenever this kind of thing is encountered, many people gather around to watch the excitement and discuss it, which aggravates people's vanity, and the funeral becomes more and more grand.

The highlight is still at the noon banquet, the guests sit down first, the people who send them up the mountain come back to open the banquet, while eating, there is a host on the stage to preside over the ceremony, one by one to introduce the descendants of the people who went there, and then they start to send money at each table, generally speaking, the daughter should send the most, but also depending on the economic situation of each family, more than a table of thousand, less than a table of a hundred, add up to the most a table of 10,000 or less at least three thousand, the guests who went to drink ate a free meal, but also shared the money into the pocket, the family of the dead lost a lot, the total cost reached up to five million, I heard that there are large sums of money in southern Fujian where the parents passed away, the cost is as high as more than 10 million, and each guest sent more than 2,000 red envelopes, invited local officials from small to large, the news media have reported this kind of good thing, everyone is willing to participate, and they arrive on time than anything.

Their accounts are very clear, except for the common relatives in the family, such as uncles, aunts and aunts who are related to their parents, other relatives and friends who invite their own burdens, and the real brothers settle the accounts.

Hao Lina and Yu Gong went to the funeral of the mother of a shareholder in the factory, did not give anything, ate two meals, and shared more than 500 yuan, she was very happy, but Chen Yingyu said that the share was less, the family was reluctant to have money, and was scolded by the villagers.

I don't know where this strange custom still exists.
