7. Burial
Originally, as Shishi's future son-in-law, he should have knelt with Pomegranate, but he didn't, but this Jiang Hongxiang, who had no relatives and no reason, could be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and he treated Shi Kailiang as a pro-elder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The pomegranate moved out step by step with Ye Huilan's support, the sun was shining outside, and the bright sunlight pierced the pomegranate from opening his eyes.
Ye Huilan said: "Today is a sunny day, it is a good day...... she realized something, and quickly explained: "I mean, today is a good time for funeral."
Pomegranate didn't say anything, she intuitively felt that this friend was not too sincere to the original owner.
After walking slowly for a while, soothing a little, going to the toilet, when Pomegranate and Ye Huilan went back, everyone began to eat.
Jiang Hongxiang said: "Pomegranate, you go to eat first, and then come over after eating."
Pomegranate was indeed hungry and tired, in order to conserve her strength, she went to eat outside the field, only two dishes, a soup, a bitter herb, and a fried meat with green onions. One potato soup, or two tables of people. The night watchman, the cook, and the coffin-bearer, exactly twenty people.
In this era, it is rare to see a little meat for ten days and half a month, seeing that the fried meat with green onions will soon bottom out, Pomegranate took another bowl, picked up most of the meat and bitter vegetables, and added some rice to Jiang Hongxiang, Jiang Hongxiang was not polite, so he knelt there and ate.
Pomegranate brought his own rice over and said, "Jiang Hongxiang, you go out to eat, I'll eat here on my knees."
Ordinary people can't eat in front of the deceased, even if the corpse has no smell, it is psychologically unacceptable, not to mention the smoke here and the air is not good.
Jiang Hongxiang didn't realize this, people who were hungry, even if they had a stutter, they didn't pay so much attention, besides, he had a good relationship with Shi Kailiang and treated him as a relative, so there was no dislike and avoidance, "It's okay, I'll eat here!" I went to sit next to others, and they were still uncomfortable! Usually, there is no one sitting around Jiang Hongxiang. Everyone stayed away from him, for fear of being told that he had something to do with him.
Pomegranate can only kneel down with him to eat here. It's also the last meal with my father!
After eating, the pomegranate knelt there and carried out a good ceremony, this time the ceremony was on the ground outside the land temple, under the bright sun, because the first night stayed up all night, only squinted for a while, before kneeling for five or six hours, and now kneeling under the sun for a while, pomegranate felt a little exhausted, when he pricked his finger and pointed at the Lord, his finger stinged, and blood flowed out, Pomegranate felt that he couldn't support it anymore, but the local customs, raising children, The most important thing is whether there are children at this time to send filial piety, if a person does not have a man and half a woman to send filial piety at the last critical moment, it is a pity and unsatisfactory no matter how good the life is. So Pomegranate gritted her teeth and insisted on going through all the rituals, for fear of fainting, she kept pinching her two middle fingers, this position is strong.
Pomegranate sighed secretly in his heart, this body is too weak, and he will have to strengthen his exercise in the future, in the countryside of this era, relying on high-intensity labor to eat, fighting is physical strength, without a strong good body, just waiting for the rhythm of starvation, even if he starves to death, no one will sympathize.
In her previous life, Pomegranate was a girl who was unwilling to lag behind others in anything, and now that she is here, she can't be underestimated.
Finally finished all the ceremonies, and the funeral procession set off and walked slowly up the mountain, but Pomegranate couldn't stumble because her knees hurt too much, Ye Huilan and Shi Mei dragged her forward.
The sun at noon made the pomegranate eyes glow, and the throat and eyes were also dry, such a sun and such a mountain road are nothing to others, because they work in the wind and sun environment every day, so they are used to it, but the pomegranate has been hurt by her father since she was a child, hiding under the eaves and not being able to bask in the sun and the wind, and her body is weak, so today's situation is very difficult for her. If it weren't for Ye Huilan and Shi Mei supporting her, she would have been unable to leave.
Everyone saw that Pomegranate was walking hard, thinking that she was too sad, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
When I got to the mountain, I finally rested, and the pomegranate fainted. Ye Huilan and Shi Mei hugged her and shouted for a while, and then she slowly woke up again.
Jiang Hongxiang saw the pomegranate fainting, and ran over in a hurry, because men and women could not kiss, he could only watch the anxiety, and when he saw the pomegranate finally woke up again, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi watched from a distance, and his heart was even more determined to divorce Pomegranate, such a squeamish woman who fainted at every turn, their family couldn't bear it. It's useless for such a woman to marry back, it can only be a burden, or hurry up and get out of the marriage, marry the healthy and tasteful Hou Yuanfang, her father is the village party secretary, she can let him go to the army, and the family can also get a lot of benefits, thinking of Hou Yuanfang's round and soft body, the stone was fluttering again.
Originally, Shishi, as the future son-in-law, should have done that ceremony together, but when Captain Qin called him, Shishi hid behind the crowd and said resignedly: "I'm most afraid of such a scene, I will have nightmares at night......"
Everyone looked at the performance of the stone, and there was a lot of discussion.
Pomegranate also saw that behind the stone's reluctant behavior, she must be dissatisfied with this marriage, and she could see the performance of the stone in this day and night, and she could see that no matter how dull she was, he had no feelings for her, and this person was just a vain person.
This is a good thing, she is still worried about how to find a way to withdraw from this marriage! It seems that the other party is in a hurry to withdraw from this marriage than her. Her father has not yet entered the ground, this stone is perfunctory like this, even if he is not satisfied with this marriage, Shi Kailiang is also his savior, he is now acting so reluctantly, it seems that he is also a snobbish and ruthless person, such a person, Pomegranate is too lazy to entangle with him. I broke off with him earlier, and I never had a better relationship with him from then on.
Everyone accompanied Pomegranate back home, dinner was eaten at Pomegranate's house, after cleaning up, the sky gradually got dark, everyone comforted Pomegranate, and said goodbye one after another, including Ye Huilan, as a good friend, she should accompany Pomegranate to live for a few nights, but she said that she was timid and did not dare to live in Pomegranate's house. When Shi Kailiang was alive, he was a person who was unsmiling and had a gloomy personality, which gave people a lot of psychological pressure, and after death, it made people shudder when they remembered it.
