Chapter 51 Funeral Matters

Knowing that Mr. Li was going to be discharged from the hospital, the hospital specially sent an ambulance to accompany the medical staff to carefully send Mr. Li back to his old house in the ancient town.

When the ambulance drove back to the ancient town, it was already six or seven o'clock in the evening, and the people in the ancient town had just cooked.

Seeing an ambulance parked at the entrance of the Li Family Medical Center, the Li family was guarding in front of the car, full of sadness.

The people in the town realized that something had happened to the Li family, and the nearby neighbors whispered to find out what had happened to the Li family.

After the old man of the Li family was carefully carried into the back house by everyone, the surrounding neighbors learned that the old man of the Li family was critically ill.

Before dinner was ready, the news quietly spread throughout the ancient town, but no one came to disturb the last time of the Li family and the old man at this time.

It was night, up and down the Li family's old house, and the clouds were gloomy.

Even the whole town was shrouded in this sad atmosphere.

The rain was a little lighter, and it was pouring down, but this night still made people feel lonely and cold.

asked his nephew and daughter-in-law to take care of the old man in the old house, Li Qi called his nephew Li Qingping out and discussed with his family about handling the affairs of the future.

Although the old man should go, the living person must continue to live.

How to handle the funeral, whether it is big or small. Longevity coffins, longevity clothes, wreaths, and elegiac couplets are also to be taken care of. There is also a list of what kind of relationships should be notified and what kind of relationships should not be notified.

The Tianxuan Medical Hall has been inherited for nearly a hundred years, and the connections are very extensive, if you really want to notify the old man of his death one by one, I am afraid that it will take nearly a day to make a phone call.

At such times, the younger generations of the family can't count on it. First, because of the death of the old man in the family, I was sad and had no intention of doing anything else. Second, without this experience, I won't be too thoughtful.

Li Qi, who is an elder, can only provoke the big beam at this time, and Zhang is worried about the funeral of his brother.

"Qingping, according to the elders, if your father is a person of our age, if he is really not there, it is a 'joy and mourning'. We have lived to this age, and we are all full of children and grandchildren, and we are enjoying our families, and even if we are gone, we are all smiling. So Qingping, you and Shuzhi, don't be too sad and sad. ”

Seeing his nephew standing there dumbfounded, Li Qi felt uncomfortable, but he had to persuade him.

"Seventy-three eighty-four, the king of Hades doesn't call himself to go, we are all old men in our 80s, and we already have names on the book of life and death. Qingping, you go back and make a list, and what relationships you need to notify will be listed at that time. This kind of thing, if some people who often move around and are close to them are not notified, it is a loss of manners and offending people. Also, do you want to do your father's business big or small? I mean, a big one. When the time comes, Mr. Feng Shui, suona horns, stage-like things or something, I'll just handle it. ”

The old man will go, and the family, although sad, will always have to move on. There are some things that can not be avoided because of sadness, and what should be done still has to be done.

Li Qi is the oldest member of the Li family at this time, and these things can only be handled by him with sadness and spirits.

This is the responsibility of the elders, and it is also a kind of family inheritance.

"Uncle, my dad he means he doesn't want to alarm too many people. But you said so, and I support your idea. My dad is gone, this is a happy mourning, and it is also a great mourning for the Li family. Even if he goes, he should go to the scenery. When I go back, I will list the list of things that need to be notified from my side, and my idea is to organize the funeral at that time. In terms of notifying relatives and friends around you, some distant people, or those who are far away, don't bother if you can. When I arrived, there were many people, and I was afraid that I would not be able to greet them. Second, some relationships are gradually estranged, and there is no need to notify people to feel embarrassed. What do you think, uncle? ”

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Li Qingfang looked up at his uncle Li Qi and said slowly.

His father was critically ill, and Li Qingping had no intention of doing anything else. At this time, if it weren't for his uncle reminding him, he wouldn't have had the heart to handle these trivial matters, and he wouldn't have thought of such thoughtful details.

"Qingping, you don't have to worry about your father's funeral. You and Shuzhi just need to make a list of your relatives and friends who need to be notified. I'll let your cousin and your nephews do the rest. You and Shuzhi are your family, just take care of your father. ”

As an elder in the family, it is natural to take on this responsibility at this time. patted his nephew Li Qingping on the shoulder, and Li Qi admonished in a low tone.

Subsequently, Li Qingping was asked to go to the inner room to take care of his father, and Li Qi arranged for a group of younger servants of the Li family to handle matters in the old house of the Li family.

All aspects of the funeral must be taken into account. One is not good, where something goes wrong, it will be laughed at.

According to the rules of the old days, matters such as sending off the dead, reporting the funeral, burial, wake, and condolences must be handled carefully one by one. There are some things that relatives and friends can do for them, but there are some things that must be done by Li Qingping, the eldest son, in person to conform to common etiquette.

And the death of the old man of the Li family is a happy funeral, and the Li family has to do a big job. At that time, the stage team, as well as firecrackers and fireworks, all need to be contacted and purchased. The rest of the categories, such as white paper, white silk, and things that wear linen and filial piety, also need to be handled.

Big and small things, Li Qi sat in the main hall of the old mansion and frowned and thought hard, and told the younger servants of the Li family to carefully purchase and prepare one by one.

Finally, after thinking about all the big and small things he could think of, Li Qi rubbed his somewhat sore head, and then took a sip of tea.

While drinking water and pondering, the old man Li Qi saw Chu Feng sitting there not far away, and the old man remembered that there was still Chu Feng as a guest at home.

Regarding the identity of Chu Feng, a young man, in the Li family, Old Man Li Qi was also very embarrassed.

In terms of identity, Chu Feng is a descendant of the benefactor of the Li family, and he can be regarded as a distinguished guest. But in terms of affection, his brother's family treats Chu Feng very well, treats Chu Feng as his junior and late nephew, and has never seen anyone else.

At this time, the Li family was in mourning, and Chu Feng's identity made Li Qi feel very embarrassed in his heart. Therefore, when he ordered the group to wait to handle various matters just now, Old Man Li Qi never gave Chu Feng any explanation to deal with. It's just not good for Chu Feng's identity, I'm afraid that one is not good, and the number of rudeness makes people laugh.

"Chu Feng, if you have anything to say, just say it. This kind of big event requires the concerted efforts of all groups of people to be successful. ”

Seeing that Chu Feng was also worried and wanted to stop talking, Li Qi spoke first.

Old and sophisticated, Chu Feng's expression, without him opening his mouth, Li Qi knew what concerns this young man had in his heart.

As he thought, the Li family was greatly embarrassed by Chu Feng's identity. Chu Feng himself also felt a little difficult about his position in the Li family.

It stands to reason that Chu Feng is an outsider, and there are times when things like this should not be interjected indiscriminately. But if in terms of affection, Chu Feng is no different from the descendants of the old man Li Chu, there are some things, he, as a junior, must do what the juniors want.

"I'm not doing much these days, I'd like to see if I can give you a hand, if it's not in the way, and do my best. The Li family treats me like a relative, and I want to do something for the old man. ”

It was precisely with these scruples that Chu Feng never spoke. At this time, seeing that Old Man Li Qi had almost ordered things, but he hadn't yet explained some things to him, Chu Feng thought about it for a while before taking the initiative to speak.

"Chu Feng, we all understand your intentions. Don't worry, if there is anything that people can't do, I will definitely ask you for help. ”

Chong Chu Feng nodded kindly, Old Man Li Qi did not give Chu Feng a quasi-word.

Chu Feng's identity relationship is still decided by Li Qingping. Old man Li Qi has a plan, so naturally he will not make a mistake in this kind of thing.

Hearing this old man's words, Chu Feng could only nod helplessly.

It seems that if you want to do something for the old man, you still need to discuss it with Li Qingping and his wife.

That night, the Li family removed the two doors of the main hall of the old mansion and laid the futon before carefully moving the old man of the Li family to the main hall of the old house.

There is an old and unwritten convention that if the deceased dies in bed, the wraith will be hung on the bed, and it cannot be exceeded, and it cannot pass through the beam after death. Therefore, before the old man dies, it is not advisable to swallow his last breath in bed.

It is still customary that when a patient is dying, he should be moved to a temporary bed in the main hall, which is called "moving the bed". Adults, who have a spouse and have children, are said to have died. Men should be moved to the main bed, and women should be moved to the inner bed. That is, the men moved to the top of the hall and the women to the bottom of the hall, and moved to the main hall because it was believed that the deceased could die peacefully in the best place in the house.

It is precisely for this reason that the words of the end of life come from.

Li Qingping stayed by his father's side, and did not dare to close his eyes all night, lest his father pass away quietly when he closed his eyes......
