531 buried
Of course, Ge Yan didn't blame her, she could see that when the two of them heard the bad time, they must have rushed back from Yanjing non-stop.
Zhang Yongchang and Ge Yan bowed, offered incense, and knelt down in front of the spirit of the old lady of the Li family together, and performed the same big salute as their relatives.
In the end, it was Fang Aobai who took all the expenses of the funeral.
And that Shen Cuihua took all the people who followed him into his pocket.
The most luxurious tomb in the village was built, and it was the most conspicuous in that cemetery.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's understanding of her grandmother, she would definitely not agree to do this.
It's just that if Fang Aobai doesn't do this, he will always have a burden in his heart. There is no way to repay her grandmother's kindness of taking in and raising her, only after her death, a luxurious funeral will be held for her, so that the four miles and eight towns, seven aunts, six mothers-in-law and eight aunts can remember the virtuous life of the old lady of the Li family.
The big stage, with black curtains, hung down from both sides: "
Long remember the mercy and kindness, and the model will remain in the world forever"
The stage was crowded with people, and even though the weather was so cold, everyone went to the condolences and came to listen to a few plays.
"Sanniang's Godson", "Shiro Visits His Mother", etc., all invited local celebrities.
The fathers and villagers in the audience listened with relish.
In addition to listening to the play, everyone was also talking about how the old lady of the Li family raised three sons and two daughters in her life, how good she is, so there will be such a pomp after her death, which is also an eye-opener for everyone in the local area.
The day of burial was set, and on this day, it was gray and the north wind was blowing
The yellow leaves swirled in the wind, the coffin of the old lady of the Li family was supported by the other two daughters-in-law, and Shen Cuihua, who had swept the grave in advance, knelt at the crossroads of the village in filial piety.
Although this Shen Cuihua has always been out of tune, she respects this mother-in-law very much at home.
She has caused a lot of trouble, just because most of her mouth is reconciled by her mother-in-law.
At this time, tears fell, and it seemed that it was not pretending. Tears and snot were smeared, she didn't care about wiping them, and cried into tears.
Fang Aobai, as the eldest son and eldest grandson, although he is not a member of the Li family, after all, he has grown up in the Li family for more than 20 years, and he grew up under the protection of his grandmother. He held the banner in his hand and watched the white banner paper being blown high by the wind.
Wearing linen and filial piety, tears flowed down his face, and the tears on his face were painful when the north wind blew, and he walked in the front.
Li Dabiao walked behind his son with the portrait of his mother in his arms, and he was also crying sincerely.
Li Dabiao's two younger brothers walked behind their elder brothers, and they were also sad.
This is a long procession, and this is the first time in this village.
Nephews, grandsons, granddaughters-in-law, great-grandchildren, granddaughters, granddaughters, etc., a team of nearly two hundred people.
The huge coffin, pulled by the largest tractor in the village, slowly drove out of the village.
The yellow lead money along the way fluttered in the wind.
The suona hand blows the saddest tune in the world, which is heartbreaking.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang was also wearing the filial piety shirt that she once thought was the most ugly, with hemp rope tied around her waist and filial piety cloth wrapped around her head.
The village party members all stood on both sides of the road, looking at the last appearance of the old lady of the Li family.
yes, this old man is gone like that.
Her kind smile can no longer be seen under the big locust tree, and her kind voice cannot be heard.
Several older people in the village, as if they were covered with a layer of yellow sand, watched the old sister leave.
Everyone knows that this old sister is lucky, with five nice sons and daughters, and a rich grandson.
The old lady went to the largest place in China and saw many things that the old people in the village could not think of, and they all enjoyed the blessings of her grandson.
Zhou Congxiang and Zhang Laoshi are also in this crowd.
When a few nosy people said in front of the old couple: "Aunt Zhou, look at Grandma Li, it's all thanks to her grandson." Isn't the Qiang girl of your family married to the eldest son of the old Li family? Why didn't you enjoy the blessings of your granddaughter? ”
When Zhang Laoshi heard this, he was angry.
Zhou Congxiang's triangular eyes glared, and she said to Zhang honestly: "Look at this Qiang woman, she hasn't entered the door of our Zhang family for more than a week since she came back, and she has been staying in his Li family." This time, he must have given a lot of money, otherwise how could his Li family do such a big thing. ”
Ou Chunhua, an unobtrusive person, she was also on the side, and after listening to what her mother-in-law said, she quickly interjected and said: "That's right, the situation of that old Li family is better than our family, you see, it's a big drama and a thick burial." This woman must have forgotten all about her grandmother and grandfather. ”
As soon as she said this, Zhou Congxiang became even more angry, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she squeezed through the crowd and went home.
Along the way, she was still thinking about whether she would be treated like this when she died.
Last time, the gold earrings on the ears of the Li family's grandmother made everyone in the village envious to death, especially Zhou Congxiang.
She had ears and eyes herself, but she didn't buy her gold earrings.
Only a pair of blackened silver earrings have been with her for more than seventy years.
And last time, the old lady of the Li family went to Yanjing to see a doctor, stayed for a few months, and when she came back, she wore gold and silver, and the scenery in the village was not good.
Qiang woman, she has seen it since she was a child, but she didn't even say anything to herself.
When the Li family finishes this matter, they have to talk to the Qiang woman.
Could it be that Bai fed such a big one?
Zhang Laoshi couldn't stay in the crowd, so he also went back.
Ou Chunhua knocked melon seeds and gossiped with several women in the village.
"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, look at the Qiang girl of your family, now she is so promising, let her find something for you to do in a big city, even if it is to be a nanny for others, it is better than staying here." The woman of the Wang family said.
"Yes, yes, you see how bad the old Li family used to be. Now I raise chickens, fish, and turtles, and my family even buys a car. What kind of money can his family have, it must be given by your family's two women. Why don't you ask her for some, so you don't have to go to the carton factory to cook, what are you doing with that crime? The third sister-in-law of the Liu family said.
These three women are really masters of sowing discord in one play.
When Ou Chunhua heard this, she felt that it made sense.
She said, "Those two sisters-in-law, you teach me how to ask people for money?" Won't other people's money be given to me for no reason? ”
The two of them lay on Ou Chunhua's ears on the left and right, muttering for a long time.
Ou Chunhua nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, when I get the money, I will buy you melon seeds to eat." ”
The two women looked at each other and said with a smile: "No need, just buy yourself more good ones, don't lose yourself, look at what kind of life you are living now." ”
Then, he talked about some lace news about Zhang Yongliang in the village.
Of course this Ou Chunhua knew, but she didn't catch the rape in bed, there was no way.
Just chased the wind and shadows to make trouble with her husband, in exchange for abuse and shoe rakes.
The child is growing up day by day, and she doesn't want the child to see her parents quarreling all day long, so she can only open one eye and close one eye to let him go.
Zhang Yongliang's behavior has been unscrupulous.
The funeral procession came to the cemetery selected by Mr. Feng Shui, and put the bones of the Li family's grandfather intact into the new combined coffin. The black cypress coffin of the Li family's grandmother was made in a hurry and was specially used for joint burial.
Fang Aobai watched his grandmother and grandfather finally be buried together, this was grandma's greatest wish before her death.
The tomb was indeed very large, and it was all made of cement.
After falling into the coffin, everyone knelt on the ground in unison.
The burial process was completed according to the customs of the rural people.
In this tomb, there is everything, and there are all kinds of household appliances. Of course, it's all fake, only the bed is real.
It was the first time that many people in the village had seen such a tomb, and they were all sighing at the old lady's blessings.
The last process is to seal the holes.
The filial sons and grandsons cried together, and the mourning music sounded, rhythmically cooperating.
That's it, sent my grandmother away.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Fang Aobai walked back to the village side by side.
Li Jun walked with them.
"Brother, when will you leave the village?"
Fang Aobai said: "It's past grandma's first seven." Without her, I would have starved to death. ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang agreed.
Li Jun said: "Brother, look at how grandma could be buried in such a beautiful way if it weren't for you this time, and this time in the village has a good face." ”
As she was talking, Li Xianglan walked over.
She said to Fang Aobai and Zhang Xiaoqiang: "Baiwa, you see that the affairs of my family are also thanks to you." Now, our family is doing much better. ”
Fang Aobai looked at the sister in front of him, this woman who had been sloppy and had come home before.
Now she has a haircut head, and her whole person is much cleaner.
He said: "Sister, it's all a family, don't be so polite." Now that society is good, as long as you are diligent, you can't starve to death. Raise the two children well and live a good life with my brother-in-law. ”
Li Xianglan said: "I know that the hard days of the past have been enough. ”
Li Jun pointed to the fish pond in front of him and said to Fang Aobai: "Brother, look, this is my fish pond." Now that the supply is in short supply, I will let you taste our own turtles in a few days. ”
Back at home, the funeral feast began.
Everyone has taken off their filial piety clothes, and the filial piety cloth on their heads is wrapped around their heads.
The twelve dishes, liquor, are all traditional dishes in the countryside.
Fang Aobai, Li Dabiao, and Li Jun expressed their gratitude one by one, thanking everyone for coming to see Mrs. Li on her last journey.
Everyone at the table praised Fang Aobai, saying that he was a dutiful son who was unmatched in the village.
Yes, a lot of money was spent this time, all of which were made by Fang Aobai.
Baijiu is also the best wine, and everyone's neck is red when they drink it.
Several cadres in the village took the initiative to come over to find Fang Aobai.
They said, "Baiwa, although you are now a big boss, you grew up eating the water here." Look at our village, it's not a treasure of feng shui, but there are also a few heroes. Aren't you and your daughter-in-law from here? Can you take everyone to get rich together, or find a way for everyone? ”
Fang Aobai looked at the village chief Zhang Yongliang sitting on the side, the highest cadre in the village, he sat there without saying a word.
Zhang Yongliang also knew that he couldn't pull it off.
He saw that Zhang Yongchang and Li Jun both relied on Fang Aobai to live a good life, and he was also Zhang Xiaoqiang's uncle, but he didn't get any benefits, what kind of relatives is this?
After taking a sip of strong wine, he walked up to Zhang Xiaoqiang with a red face and said, "Qiang girl, uncle watched you grow up, you can't be so ruthless and unjust." Now that you have money, don't you even recognize me as an uncle? ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at this Zhang Yongliang, his fat body, bald and almost bare hair, and a few hairs became a nine-point hairstyle, which had a somewhat funny look.
She said: "Uncle, I'm not such a person, you are the head of a village, and other villages are all going out to study and find a way out, what have you done?" ”
Zhang Yongliang stiffened his neck and said: "What have I done, I am managing these brigades in this village, is it easy for me?" ”
This guy is a bit of a sign of drinking too much.
Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that Zhang Zhen was at the table, and she asked Zhang Zhen to help her father go back.
Zhang Zhen also had a large piece of braised pork in his mouth, and his mouth was full of oil.
He stood up, put another meatball in his mouth, and reluctantly left his seat.
Zhang Yongliang said to his son: "Get out, don't pull me, there is no one to worry about." ”
As soon as Zhang Zhen heard this, he sat there again and ate it, so he didn't want to pull him, it would affect this delicious meal more.
Despite the fat body, thick and short legs, and a big belly that is bulging all the time.
When eating, it doesn't look clumsy at all, and the two cheeks are about to burst open.
"Eat, you just know how to eat, you are the same as your mother, are pigs born?" Zhang Yongliang had nowhere to spread fire and scolded his youngest son.
Zhang Zhen said: "My mother said, I am not born of a pig, I am your biological son." ”
Zhang Yongliang slapped his son's fat shoulder.
After this fight, Ou Chunhua didn't eat anymore, and hurriedly came over to protect his son and said, "What are you crazy about, your son provoked you?" ”
Zhang Yongliang glared at his mother-in-law and said, "You dead fat woman, you know a fart!" What are you used to your son, you are also raising babies, but you are raising pigs! ”
This sentence angered Ou Chunhua and provoked the township party who were full of food and teeth.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Fang Aobai were busy greeting the others.
Li Dabiao came over and said, "Daughter-in-law Baiwa, hurry up and let your uncle go, don't be embarrassed here." I can't say, he's the village head, and we can't afford to offend. ”
There is some truth to that.
Fang Aobai walked over and said, "Uncle, you have drunk too much, go back and rest first." I'll go to you tomorrow afternoon and discuss the matter of finding a project for the village. ”
As soon as Zhang Yongliang heard this, he said to everyone: "Look at you, Baiwa is the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and he will definitely respect me as an uncle." ”
Fang Aobai gave such a step down. (To be continued.) )
