PS: Friends! Why can't you get this monthly pass!

After covering the head cloth for Mrs. Li, the old men went to the West Wing; The whole village of the river valley was filled with low mourning, and the children, who were usually jumping and chasing and playing, were also particularly obediently snuggled up to their adults, and the villagers were waiting for the decision in the west wing.

At this time, in the west wing of Uncle Baoqing's house, in addition to more than a dozen respected old men in the village, there were also Uncle Baoqing, Uncle Baoguo and Uncle Da Shu.

"Old Daoist, my grandmother and my parents left early, and now my father is also gone, please choose a day to enter the earth! My grandfather only recognized what you said when he was alive, and this last journey will also be arranged by you! Li Baoqing said with a sob.

"Yes! Old Daoist! I think my grandfather is the happiest on the day you always choose! Li Baoguo also said with red eyes.

"Guowazi, Qingwazi, don't be too sad, with a filial junior like you, Lao Li Tou's life is not in vain, and people who are more than 100 years old are happy and mourned; I think the day of entering the earth is set at 12 o'clock at noon the day after tomorrow, and the relatives and friends who can be notified will try to notify it, and the rest of the things will be left to the bolt baby to do the work. The old man arranged it without the slightest prevarication.

After listening to the old man's arrangement, the more than ten old men sitting there all nodded, and Li Dazhuan also nodded in response.

Seeing that the date was determined, Li Dazhuan went out of the door of the west wing, and then summoned the villagers who were sitting in the courtyard waiting for the arrangement.

The old Taoist set the time for the master to enter the earth, which was twelve o'clock at noon the day after tomorrow; Baogen and Guoqiang, you select a few people to be responsible for the food in the kitchen, and the food from tonight to the night after tomorrow must be arranged, especially the meat must be prepared enough in the morning after tomorrow, it is not easy to carry the coffin. You have to let them eat before they have the strength.

Xiaoyi and Yao Kai are responsible for remembering the ceremony and putting filial piety cloth, Mu Tou is responsible for purchasing with a few people, Da Niu is also responsible for firewood, Qiangzi and Yao Lei are responsible for greeting relatives and friends who come when the time comes, and when Peaches comes back, let him be with you; Others helped out. Tonight your younger generation will stay vigil, tomorrow night our older generation will keep vigil, do you hear clearly?

"Hear me clearly!"

"Alright, let's split up now!"

As soon as Li Dazhuan made arrangements, men, women, and children began to get busy.

The work assigned by Yunyi and Yao Kai is not easy, and it is very cumbersome to keep rituals, keep accounts, and divide them. Both of them have to be busy.

After receiving the task, Yunyi began to set up the table, looking for a place that should be conspicuous and visible at a glance, but also not obstruct the flow of people.

After setting up the table, Yunyi sat there and smoked a cigarette. Although Mrs. Li was happy and mourned, the villagers were still sad; The village of Riverdale is different from other villages outside, and the people who have lived here for generations are very united, like a big family.

In the past, due to the lack of transportation and communication, the villagers of Hegu Village could only live on the output of the fields, and they were short on money, if one family encountered difficulties. The whole village is to lend a helping hand; For decades, it goes without saying that this relationship is handled, so no matter which old man is in the family, the people in the village respect it very much.

When Mrs. Yao died, Yunyi was still working in S City, and when he called Yao Kai when he heard the news, the two of them cried on the phone; Unexpectedly, only a year has passed, and Mrs. Li has also left; There are only four people in the village who have passed the age of 100 now, and the old man is the eldest of the four old people, although he has always maintained his health and his body and bones are well maintained. But after all, it's that age; I don't know who will leave next.

Many times Yunyi didn't dare to think about this problem, and always felt that it was not a problem for the old man to live past two hundred years old, but could the old man really survive to that day? Yunyi himself knew that this idea was a bit self-defeating.

In fact, Yunyi is not an otaku who stays at home, and the reason why he rarely goes out after returning to Hegu Village is that he wants to accompany the old man more during his lifetime; When I first left school. Full of passion and energy, I want to get ahead outside, to break into the sky.

But with the passage of time, the edges and corners have also been smoothed out, and at that time, the moment he saw his grandfather every few years, in the face of the old man who was getting older and older year by year, Yun Yi suddenly appeared, it turned out that what he cared about the most in his heart, the most unbearable care, was still the old Taoist who was lying in the recliner for a nap, and was full of fairy bones.

Listening to the low mourning, Yun Yi's heart was also full of unspeakable love; Just when he was immersed in this indescribable feeling, someone patted him on the shoulder, and he looked at the person in front of him in a daze for a while before Yun Yi came back to his senses.

"Taro, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking? So devoted, you don't respond to a few calls. Yao Kai looked stunned and Yunyi asked with concern.

Just a few minutes ago, after Yao Kai was busy with things in the winery, he hurried to the courtyard of Uncle Baoqing's house, and when he saw Yun Yi sitting on the memorial platform, he greeted him, but Yun Yi looked at the front with blank eyes and did not respond, and he didn't see Yun Yi react after a few greetings, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh! It's Kaizi! When did you come? Yun Yi came back to his senses and asked.

"Just arrived! Isn't there a little more thing on the winery's side, thinking that I'll come back after dealing with it, and I won't go to the winery for the time being in the next two days; By the way, what were you thinking? Yao Kai asked again.

"Nothing! It's just that my heart is panicked! Yun Yiqing said unobtrusively.

"Alas! Look at the people in the yard, who is not like you! At the beginning of the year before last, when my old man left, it was the same as now, everyone was buried in their work, and no one even chatted when they sat together; These few old men who are the only remaining fruits carry too much weight in the hearts of the people of Hegu Village, and everyone is sad when they leave. ”

Hearing Yun Yi say that he was panicked, Yao Kai's heart was almost the same.

took out a cigarette and handed it to Yao Kai, lit one himself, and the two of them smoked there.

Dinner time was fast coming, and due to the rush of time, the preparation of dinner was relatively simple, but none of the villagers disliked it, and after a hurried dinner, they began to get busy again.

At this time, the people invited by Uncle Baoqing to do the work also arrived, and a few young people helped to set up the practice of the work, and the mourning music was suspended; The custom of doing things for the deceased is still retained in the village of River Valley, and perhaps many people in the city do not understand that this is still so feudal; However, it will be difficult to change such customs in the village of River Valley.

When the desolate suona sounded, Uncle Baoqing and the others didn't need to talk about it, and the old men and women in the village couldn't hold back anymore and cried there; This kind of crying seems to be contagious, and after a while, the crying becomes a piece.

Yunyi and the other young people didn't cry, but the tears in everyone's eyes were rolling; Many people quietly turned around and wiped the corners of their eyes, even Yun Yi was no exception, and continued to be busy with the work in his hands with red eyes.

Tonight, the young people in the village have to stay vigil, this is also a ritual formed in the village of the valley, in other places such a thing, the vigil may only be done by their own families, but here in the village of the valley there is no distinction between each other; From this point alone, it is enough to see the love and unity of the people of the valley village.

The vigil is a hard job, and everyone takes turns to add oil to the green lamp next to the coffin, burn incense, burn money paper, and smoke cigarettes.

This smoke is to add the green cypress branches and leaves that are cut back from the forest during the day into the burning charcoal basin little by little, so that it will continue to smoke out, and this thing cannot be interrupted in the middle of the process, so the young people gather around the charcoal basin to watch, and as soon as there is any sign of extinguishing, they must quickly add it to it.

In winter, it was okay, and you could still warm yourself around the charcoal basin, but now it is April, and the night in Hegu Village is not cold in this season. Even so, none of the young people present were lazy, and they all stared at the charcoal basin in front of them with red eyes.
