Fifth, the end of the song is scattered

Two months after Shandan was born, Shandan's second aunt gave birth to a boy named Mao Dan'er. The two children grew up a little bit.

Grandpa Tiedaner is very fond of Maodan'er, and he and pees on his neck all day long, and Shandan's parents work in the field, and her small figure follows them. How many times did she wish that her grandfather would put herself around her neck, and she must obediently not and pee.

However, until his grandfather died, Shandan's wish did not come true. She didn't know how to hate, she just grieve that her hopes were dashed.

Just when the grandfather helped the second baby to sift the buckwheat seeds outside the gate, when the second baby went back to the house to get the pocket to prepare the sifted seeds, the grandfather fell to the ground and closed his eyes, four or five years old Mao Daner and Shandan were still playing beside the grandfather, watching the grandfather slowly fall down and not moving, they thought he was tired and lay down to rest, they didn't understand death.

After the second baby came out, they screamed and howled, which made them feel the fear of death.

The family began to prepare for the future, first dressed the old man in the shroud that had been prepared, and then put the old man on a door panel and lifted it to the kang, the old man was dressed neatly and brightly, and his face was covered with a piece of wet linen paper.

Hang a white paper banner on the east side of the courtyard gate, and people will know that someone has died when they see it. A lantern is lit directly north of the house, and it is not allowed to be extinguished until it is buried with the coffin at the time of the funeral. The incense is not allowed to be extinguished.

Then he took out the four-inch-thick birch planks that the old man had prepared in advance, and asked the carpenter to quickly pick up the coffin.

Then he sent a few uncles and nephews to the homes of relatives and friends to mourn. The relatives who mourned brought a filial piety hat of white cloth and a filial piety belt of hemp rope tied around their waists. Each family first kowtows to the right position three times, and then howls a few times, telling the family that their relatives are dead, and when the funeral is going to be a few days and inviting people to send each other.

Then Tie Dan'er invited papermakers to make paper goods: brick houses, horse-drawn carriages, cows, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs, long-term workers of different types of work, cash cows, gold and silver mountains, piles of rice and noodles, all kinds of utensils in the house, pots and pans, large kang stoves, bedding and clothes, five-foot red cabinets, three-foot large crates are colorful and golden. There are papier-mâché servants in the courtyard of the house, and there are more than a dozen people of all kinds who sweep the floor, cook, and feed the pigs.

Shandan and Mao Dan'er were bouncing around in the noisy crowd all day long, and it was very lively. The house has never been so lively, and so many people still have meat to eat at once, and it seems that the death of grandpa has brought them far more happiness than the sorrow of adults.

Mao Dan'er actually said to him: "It's good that grandpa is dead, you can eat cakes!" was beaten up by the second baby! He didn't understand that it was good, why was he still beaten?!

All kinds of filial sons and grandsons wear different filial piety clothes: daughters and daughters-in-law wear open filial piety shirts, wear filial piety hats with long tails, and there is a single-layer cloth curtain in front of their faces; sons wear filial piety clothes and triangular filial piety hats; sons-in-law's filial piety shirts are very large, covering the ass of long shirts, as well as big top hats, filial piety pants and shoes, fully armed from head to toe. And all the sons and daughters shall tie a few pieces of hemp rope around their waists. The grandchildren of the grandchildren who are 12 years old should wear a filial piety shirt and a filial piety hat, and the filial piety hat is sewn with a red cloth cross, and the grandson is sewn with a blue cloth cross. Tie Dan'er, Shandan and Mao Dan'er, who are under the age of 12, all carry a piece of white cloth with a red cross sewn on their backs. Other relatives wear different filial piety clothes according to different generations, and the filial piety clothes are prepared by the owner, that is, the son, except for the daughter of the family with their own surname. Send away the deceased, and the filial piety will be left behind, which was a big benefit at that time.

Tie Dan'er's grandfather's funeral was very grand: two shifts of drummers were invited, and several suona blew loudly. The drummer was invited by his daughter, because Grandpa Tie Dan'er gave away a girl, so only one girl came to see her off.

The day after Grandpa Tie Dan'er died, the carpenter made a coffin with the wooden planks prepared in advance, and Grandpa Tie Dan'er was buried at the calculated hour. It was placed at the bottom of the east wall and a mourning booth was erected. In front of the spirit, a tree with a bowl was erected, and on it hung a cut soul-attracting banner. In front of the coffin were various offerings: chickens, pigs, sheep, snacks, fried oil cakes, and an everlasting lamp.

Every morning, lunch, and dinner, daughters-in-law, daughters, nieces, nieces, and other female family members have to cry and burn a piece of paper money in the filial piety basin before the spirit.

Every crying relative is crying about a different state of mind, the daughter is crying about her father's longing and infinite sadness, the daughter-in-law is crying about her grievances and suffering, and all kinds of relatives are crying about their helplessness and suffering. Accompanied by the howls of different tones, the drummers of the drummer class also played hard, a lively scene!

The Mongolian Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and any red and white banquet is the best reason for everyone to get together and have a lively time. People from the surrounding ten miles and eight villages came to mourn and watch the excitement.

But all the relatives will take thirteen white-flour buns, and the buns should be sandwiched, and those who have a little richer will have red dates, and those who have no money will have a piece of potato. Then each person will take two cents or five cents in gifts.

Usually, the deceased is parked in the yard for 7 days, and those who have a little money can be put for 9 days and 11 days, and can be put for up to 13 days. Tie Dan'er's grandfather's family is a declining landlord, and he is also a large family in Shanxi Province who went to the west exit to the local area, so he decided to go out for the funeral in 9 days.

The night before the funeral, all the relatives each took a "funeral stick", which was to use a ruler to paste the long poplar branches with white hemp paper flags, arrange them according to their generations, bow and bend down one by one to pull the filial piety shirt of the front one.

First of all, the son went to the temple to worship: inform the gods that they will "shout" for their relatives tonight, and worship incense and candles, and then Mr. Yin and Yang are optimistic about an hour, and the "two kicks" sounded, and the troops of "shouting condolences" set off, and the direction and itinerary of the departure were arranged in advance by Mr. Yin and Yang.

In front is the leader of the "drum maker class", knocking and blowing, and behind is the cry of the filial sons and grandsons, and the whole way keeps sprinkling grains and paper money, there are a few points to burn a few bonfires, burn some paper money, the "drum master class" blows hard, and the relatives howl loudly.

When I arrived at the ancient temple, I said that it was a temple, but it was actually dilapidated, and there were no statues in the temple, just a bunch of broken walls. The temple has been demolished when the "four olds" have been demolished, the statue of the god has been knocked down, and it is not clear which god is enshrined specifically, but it is said that there is a Niangniang temple and a Guan Gong temple, and Tie Daner has seen several colorful statues of gods when he was a child.

Because Tie Dan'er's aunt is not good at feeding her children, she died 3 in one breath, once she once took Tie Dan'er to Niangniang Temple to beg for a child, and exchanged a steamed noodle doll for a doll of her own, but she failed to do so.

My aunt's mother-in-law was a well-known immortal at the time, and she told her daughter-in-law that she had to raise someone else's child in order to have a child of her own. The daughter-in-law disagreed, pinning her hopes on the son-sending Niangniang of the Niangniang Temple, but failed to succeed after changing it several times. So I had to listen to my mother-in-law's teachings: I took a Mongolian child in the pastoral area to raise.

Before liberation, Aunt Tie Dan'er's mother-in-law was called "Hua Daxian", she had great magical powers, and it was a must to cure diseases and save people.

Once, Grandpa Tie Dan'er went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, accidentally fell off the cliff, and when he found it, he was dying, and "Hua Daxian" began to prepare to drink tea on the fairy, first saluted three incense sticks, and prayed for the great immortal to appear. Yawned a dozen times, shivered dozens of times, and finally, the accent changed to the upper body of the Great Immortal. I saw her squinting and saying that she was going to the Yin Dynasty Difu to see if Grandpa Tie Dan'er's yang longevity was up to the limit. After a while, Daxian opened his eyes and said that Yangshou had not yet arrived and was still saved.

The reason for falling down the mountain was that Grandpa Tie Dan'er collided with a nest of fox spirits who practiced on the mountain, he stepped on the door of other people's houses, and he was still digging and picking on other people's houses. Pushed down the mountain. Fortunately, before he reached his yang life, the fox spirit didn't want to harm people, so he was able to save his life.

"Hua Daxian" took out a silver needle from his mouth, helped Grandpa Tie Dan'er stick it on his head, cleaned his whole body with the sparks lit by rice wine, and then wrote a talisman to burn to ashes for Grandpa Tie Dan'er to drink with wine. An hour later, Hua Daxian took off the silver needle and put it in his mouth to take it back. Sue sù Tiedan'er's family: It's okay. The Great Immortal stirred up the Spirit Immortal family and retreated. Looking at the old lady again, she was already sweaty and exhausted.

Within a few days, Grandpa Tie Dan'er had already recovered his spirit, and in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he married his daughter to the son of "Hua Daxian" as a daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that after the daughter-in-law got married, she gave birth to 3 children in a row and died halfway and failed to raise them, and "Hua Daxian" has also entered the twilight of her life. Before the old man died, someone once saw a hedgehog as big as a basket crouching on the east wall of her house. Later, people said that the old man was a hedgehog immortal.

The Taipan arrived at the ruins of the ancient temple and bowed three times and bowed nine times. Pray that the gods will protect the old man's children and grandchildren, and bless the old man with early childcare.

After a lap of the established route, the filial sons and grandchildren ran home like crazy, and each of them grabbed a big bun that everyone offered, called "grabbing the rich". It is said that whoever grabs the biggest and the best will be the most blessed in the future, which means that he has grabbed the blessings left by his ancestors.

After the proprietor arranges for the relatives and friends to have a supper, the relatives should open the coffin at a suitable time to see their relatives for the last time, and put a silver coin into the mouth of the deceased, which is called "mouth money";

Then there is the coffin nailing, the nail is a wooden nail, and the coffin and the burial are not allowed to have the slightest iron. While nailing, he shouted, "Dodge the nail, dodge the nail." ”

In the early morning of the 9th day, according to the time calculated by Mr. Yin and Yang, the "drum class" led the way, the eldest grandson carried the soul-attracting flag, eight people carried the coffin, followed by a long funeral procession, did not stop on the way, buried according to the hour, the eldest grandson broke the filial piety basin that had been used to burn paper money for 9 days, the eldest son filled the first spade soil, and then the relatives all started to fill the soil to let the old man enter the earth.

The scene of Grandpa Tie Dan'er's life came to an end, and the song ended.
