Even if the old man has passed away, he can no longer be placed on the kang, but has to be buried. (Baidu search .com) to send the elderly, that is, to treat the funeral of the elderly, generally many things do not do it yourself, but to help relatives and friends.

It's a need, and it's a custom. It is said that it is needed, because at this time, the loss of the family is generally excessive sadness, where will there be the spirit to pay attention to miscellaneous things. It is said to be a custom because it has been the case throughout the ages. It is also a fine tradition of neighbors helping each other, which is full of strong human touch, as well as the respect of the living for the dead and for the death itself.

Needless to say, Wu Yuchang took the initiative to become a knowledger. There are also Wu Yugui, steward Han Zhong, etc., as well as the old people in the village who have been around for a long time, such as Chunzhu's father and others to help Zhang Luo.

First of all, the first thing is to clean up the old man and change into old clothes. This matter can't be delayed, because when people just breathe, their bodies are still soft, and it is easier to dress at this time. If it drags on, it's not going to be easy. Jiang Shi had already been reminded by Zhike and others, boiled a large pot of warm water, put it in a basin, and put it on the kang.

Lian Man'er, Xiao Qi, and Lian Ye'er were sent out first.

The matter of cleaning and dressing the old man Lian is naturally presided over by the Zhou family. However, she is not the only one, and someone needs to help.

"I—I'll wash my father's body and get dressed." Lian Lan'er volunteered.

"Not you." Lian Shouxin, who had always been in the air, suddenly spoke, and he stretched out his hand to stop Lian Lan'er, who was about to come forward, "You can stay in the house over there." This ......"

As Lian Shouxin spoke, he glanced at Zhang.

"There is Wulang and his mother, and Ye'er and her mother, and the step-grandfather and daughter-in-law also help out." Even keep a word. The candidate for washing and dressing the old man Lian was decided.

In the people, this person is very particular. If the husband is dead, if the wife is still alive, then it is natural that the wife should complete the matter, and the biological children will help. And the children who can do this for the elderly are naturally well-off at home, loved by the elderly, and filial to the elderly.

In this era of valuing filial piety, it is possible to do this kind of thing for the elderly. It is very face-saving, and it is considered a very important filial piety.

Originally, Lian Lan'er, as the eldest daughter, could do this. But now, she doesn't have that qualification. Apparently. Lian Shouxin has determined that the death of Old Man Lian is related to Lian Lan'er. As one of the culprits who was angry with Old Man Lian, Lian Lan'er no longer had the face of filial piety.

Lian Lan'er looked panicked, of course she knew what Lian Shouxin thought. As soon as Lian Shouxin went home, he didn't have a seizure with her, just because he had to deal with Old Man Lian's affairs first, which doesn't mean. Even the trustworthy will not be pursued. Therefore, Lian Lan'er hopes that she can add weight to herself by cleaning and dressing Old Man Lian, and at the same time dilute Lian Shouxin's bad feelings towards her. She looked at Zhou pitifully. I hope that Zhou can speak for her at this time. As a surviving person, at this time, Zhou's words are quite weighty.

However, unexpectedly. Zhou didn't speak for Lian Lan'er this time. Zhou didn't seem to hear the dispute between Lian Shouxin and Lian Lan'er, and she didn't look up at this side at all.

Lian Man'er heard the inside room talking in the outhouse. hurriedly whispered to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing turned around and entered the house again, and after a while, the two daughters-in-law took Lian Lan'er out of the house with half help and half mopping, and went to the West House.

After another while, He was also sent out. Obviously, she was also deprived of the honor of cleaning and dressing the old man.

Inside the house, everyone else left, only Zhou, Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, Lian Shouli, Lian Shouxin, and Zhang, Zhao and Jiang, this is everyone who will send Old Man Lian on his last journey.

Although it is said that the daughters-in-law are to serve, but there are so many sons, the work of wiping the body of the old man will not really let the daughters-in-law do it.

Zhou sat on the kang and took his four sons to undress Mr. Lian, while carefully wiping Mr. Lian's body with a wet handkerchief and combing Mr. Lian's hair with a comb. The Zhang, Zhao and Jiang families gathered at the kang to tidy up the old man's clothes.

There are several sets of old clothes from the inside to the outside, and the common practice is to put them on one by one first, and then put them on for the old man, rather than wearing them one by one from the inside out. The three of them are neat people who are used to doing work, and after a while, they will tidy up their clothes, and Zhou took a few sons, and while the old man was still soft, he put on the whole set of old clothes for the old man.

After that, the crowd burst into tears. At this time, the people waiting outside carried the spirit bed into the house, and everyone helped to carry the body of the old man Lian to the spirit bed and tidy it up. Someone else set up a good incense case and other utensils, and the small burial was completed.

After the small funeral, it is time to accept condolences.

Zhuanghu's family, the news spreads by word of mouth, which family is gone, and the people in the eight villages will know it in a blink of an eye. There is no need for anyone to report the funeral, and those who are polite will automatically come to mourn. However, in the common saying of the Zhuang family, they generally do not say such a crepe of condolences, they generally call it hanging paper.

Doing a funeral is different from doing other things. Zhuang family, very heavy gifts, but because of material resources, can not take out heavy gifts, generally condolences, as long as you take a bundle of paper. The average farmer also takes this kind of gift, so it is called hanging paper.

Of course, there are also white cloth gifts, and there are also gifts of money. It's just that there are very few ordinary households, and only wealthy families, or very close relatives who are very close and move around, will do this.

The villagers in the vicinity do not need to report the funeral notice, but the relatives in the distance have to send someone to report the funeral.

Wu Yuchang and Wu Yugui came to ask Lian Shouxin if there were any relatives who needed to be notified.

"My father-in-law has to send someone to say something, let Han Zhong arrange this." Lian Shouxin said, as for other relatives, Lian Shouxin thought about it and went to ask Zhou.

"It's all dead, no one!" Zhou's hard Bangbang authentic.

And they all looked at each other.

"Big brother, do you have any relatives and friends who want to report it?" Wu Yuchang asked Lian Shouren.

Lian Shouren didn't speak, just looked at Lian Shouxin. Even Shouxin didn't speak, and after a pause, Lian Shouren shook his head.

"So be it." Wu Yuchang made the decision.

Even the old man has no old relatives to deal with, and the Zhou family only has two families, the big Zhou family and the little Zhou family, and they don't need to be told in the village, as for the Yue family of Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi and Lian Shouli, they have long been out of contact.

Although Wu Yuchang and Wu Yugui brothers took the initiative to take on the responsibility of knowing guests, there are some things that still need to be established by the main family.

"Second aunt," Wu Yuchang spoke to the Zhou family carefully, "My second aunt is gone, what a way to do this big thing, you have to talk all the time." ”

Wu Yuchang is the only one who can get close to Zhou and make Zhou talk calmly with her heart, except for Lian Lan'er and Lian Xiu'er. Wu Yuchang's shrewdness and eight-sided exquisiteness can be seen from this.

"I'm a lonely old woman, I can say ha." Zhou pondered for a while and said, "I didn't have a penny in my hand, and I let Shiro's little cub steal it." What do you want to do, you tell them. ”

After saying this, Zhou was silent.

Wu Yuchang had no choice but to turn to the four brothers Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin. Although even the step-grandfather, Erlang, Goro, Liulang, and Shichiro of the grandchildren were also present, they had the right to speak in this kind of matter, but they had to rank behind the fathers.

There was silence for a while, and even Shouren, Shouyi, and Shouli did not speak.

"This matter is bothering the two brothers, although it is arranged. Send the old man, if you want to use money, it's all my share. "Even keep your word.

"Fourth brother, I know that you are really unspeakable." Wu Yuchang said, "My brother and sister are also cheerful people, just now I said that I want cloth, and this has been sent to someone." ”

Not only Wu Yuchang and Wu Yugui, but the big guys have already guessed that even the expenses of the old man's funeral must be borne by the faithful. Wu Yuchang asked in particular, it was according to the rules, it couldn't be taken for granted, and it was also to make a face for Lian Shouxin.

Such a major event was decided, and Wu Yuchang and Wu Yugui were even more open-handed.

The curtain of the door was taken off, all the things of color were put away, the mourning hall was arranged according to the customs of the villagers, the white flags were hung on the battlements of the gate, the west wing room was opened, cleaned up, the kang was burned, and the brazier was closed, and several daughters-in-law who came to help sat on the kang, quickly cut the white cloth, and sewed filial piety clothes and hats.

This white cloth is naturally what Wu Yuchang mentioned just now, and the Zhang family sent someone to bring it from home.

The customs of the Zhuang family, the old man is gone, the sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters are all wearing linen and filial piety, that is, they have to wear a complete set of filial piety shirts and hats, and the grandchildren are each wearing filial piety hats, and the male grandchildren are tied with a white cloth belt, and the eldest grandson is the same as the sons, and they must wear a complete set of filial piety shirts and hats.

Several daughters-in-law kept busy work, and after a while, they sewed the filial piety clothes and hats of even the direct children and grandchildren of the family, and everyone put them on one by one. Even Lan'er wanted to wear a filial piety shirt, but she only got a filial piety hat. Luo Baocai and the golden lock, the golden lock daughter-in-law, and the silver lock only got a white cloth belt.

This is still even trustworthy and has always refused to do things, if it is changed to a powerful one, even these are not afraid.

According to the rules, the Zhou family also has to wear filial piety.

Since the old man swallowed his breath, Zhou sat on the kang and never got off the ground. At this moment, the little Zhou family and the big Zhou family had already arrived, accompanying the Zhou family left and right. The two of them wanted to help Zhou put on filial piety, but they were ripped off by Zhou.

Zhou didn't speak, but refused to wear filial piety, so he dressed normally.
