This day is the day of Ai Xiaoyu's ancestor's burial, and the time of burial is about ten o'clock in the morning. Because the New Year is coming up in a few days, the burial time is relatively early, and Zuzu has only closed his eyes for two days, and with the help of the entire village of Zhulin Village, he has made preparations in advance.

In Zhulin Village, the most important thing about the deceased's death is a few points, one is to hold a flowing water banquet, the second is to invite the Taoist priest to chant the scriptures for the deceased, and the family members cry for the soul, the third is the funeral, and the fourth is the music farewell party, which is sung at the expense of the relatives.

Because of the support of Ai Dad and Ai Ma over the years, Zhulin Village has set up a bamboo products factory, with an annual income of several million yuan.

The vegetables, fruits and various meats that everyone eats are also sent to the door by the villagers of Zhulin Village, and they just let the Ai family mean a little money.

Therefore, in the matter of running a flowing water seat, the Ai family did not contribute at all, and easily let everyone take over.

Ai Xiaoyu got up early in the morning to meditate and practice, and started Tai Chi in the courtyard, at this time, Ai Dad and Ai Mom were guarding the spirit last night, so Ai Xiaoyu had to prepare for breakfast after Tai Chi.

She took out the chicken soup left over from Ai's mother yesterday, boiled it, put down the rice, and boiled it directly into chicken soup porridge, Rui added red dates, wolfberries, lotus seeds, lean meat, fresh winter bamboo shoots and other materials to it.

"Xiaoyu, you got up so early, you actually made breakfast, it's so fragrant, smell this smell, you know that your cooking skills are no worse than your mother!"

"I've been learning cooking since I was a kid. I'm an old cook, and if I can't even make simple porridge, I don't have to mix it up! Hurry up and wake up your aunt and two other cousins, we have to rush to the old courtyard after breakfast, and we'll have to cry for two hours in a while! ”

"Huh? Two hours, huh? Is it kneeling? ”

"No, in the countryside, the dead are the most important. There are many complicated processes behind the deceased's death, but I have never been familiar with them. Zuzu's aftermath this time was shortened because the Spring Festival was approaching soon.

Otherwise, we would have to kneel, and maybe we would have to take turns to keep the spirit, of course. The people who keep the spirit are generally big men, especially like the three cousins, full of masculinity, and should be a good candidate for the wake of the spirit. ”

"Fortunately, we don't have such trouble in the Northeast. Alas, what kind of person is Zuzu? I haven't seen my ancestors since I was born! ”

"Zuzu, very kind and loving to the younger generation. Very attentive, when I was a child. Zuzu likes to help me peel melon seeds the most, she is afraid that I will swallow the melon seed shell into her stomach, and always likes to slowly help me peel a bunch of melon seeds out for me to eat.

I remember that Zuzu was very reluctant to eat delicious food, and always liked to hide delicious things, and when we went home for the Chinese New Year, they would take out the delicious food for us younger generations to eat. Several times I found that the food left by Zuzu was spoiled. She was distressed, but she still didn't change her face, and she still liked to continue to leave what she thought was good for the younger generations.

This time, Zuzu was on his deathbed. I was most reluctant to let me go, and told me to take the college entrance examination this year and get her a famous university, thinking of this, I just, I just, woo woo woo ......"

Ai Xiaoyu's cry attracted Ai Jing who came downstairs, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?" Is it your Cousin Ernan who is bullying you? ”

"Woo woo, but, no, Cousin Ernan said, saying that my porridge must not be delicious, I, the porridge I made is delicious!"

Ai Jing comforted with a smile: "Laughing, just because of such a trivial matter, you started crying?" Looks like she's really a little girl! Don't cry, your porridge smells so good, it must be very delicious, and your cousin Ernan must be joking with you! ”

"Yes, Brother Ernan, if you think the porridge I make is not delicious, don't eat it, and go to the old courtyard to eat their big pot of rice in a while."

Han Ernan was about to cry, Ai Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and wanted him to follow his spleen and stomach to be uncomfortable, this little cousin is really bad!

For the first time, Han Ernan was the truth.

He couldn't tell the truth to his grandmother, so he could only follow everyone's meaning and said: "Laughing, cousin is wrong, I just want to make a joke with you, I can't imagine that you can't stand the teasing so much, I don't dare anymore, your porridge is so fragrant, there are a lot of things in it, it must be delicious, I don't want to miss out on food!" ”

Han Ernan said as he picked up the porridge on the table and ate it in a big gulp, and sure enough, this porridge was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue one piece.

After eating a nutritious and delicious breakfast, the five of them wrapped their heads in white cloth and hurried towards the old courtyard.

When she arrived, Ai Xiaoyu found that the Ai family had all arrived, and the dam in the yard was covered with mats, there were hundreds, and the Ai family and the Ai family's relatives usually didn't seem to be much, but this time they got together together, and it was really a lot.

Aaron was relieved to see that the eldest sister was coming, and he was full of energy, he was really worried that she would collapse like this when he saw her yesterday.

"Eldest sister, you are here, I see that your face is ruddy and full of energy, and I am also relieved. We're going to get down on our knees and weep. Come, come with me to the front. Laughing, you take your three cousins and kneel behind you! ”

After Ai Long finished speaking, he pulled Ai Jing to the front.

Ai Xiaoyu saw that Ai Jie, Ai Xiaoyan, Zeng Yi, Ai Wei, Ai Yu, Tan Yiming, Ai Xiaolun and other cousins and cousins of her generation all knelt behind the most ugly, and took three cousins to follow them.

Ai Jie saw Ai Xiaoyu coming, ran to her side and knelt down, "Sister Xiaoyu, where did you go last night, I didn't see you when I came back." ”

"I, I took my aunt back to my house early last night, my aunt was not feeling well, and I helped her do acupuncture for a while."

Ai Xiaoyu has always been good to this cousin, when he was born, Ai Xiaoyu waited outside the door, she completely watched Ai Jie grow up, he is also ten years old this year, five or six years younger than her, it is the age of fun.

"That's right, I just rushed back from my grandmother's house last night, my grandmother has been in poor health recently, I didn't expect my ancestor to pass away like this, I haven't seen her last side!"

Ai Jie is in addition to Ai Xiaoyu, Zuzu Zeng Bi's most painful descendant, Ai Jie has also been filial since he was a child, every time he goes home, he will remember to help Zuzu bring such a gift and eat like that.

"Okay, let's stop talking, the Taoist priest is chanting." Ai Xiaoyu stopped everyone from continuing to speak.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that everyone stood up, and those who carried the coffins carried the coffins, the wreaths and the wreaths, some people held hoes and other tools, and some people followed the crowd with incense, candles, money paper, artillery, etc., and scattered incense and candles all the way, scattering money and paper, and walking towards the cemetery that had long been optimistic.

The group was like a long dragon, and Ai Long walked in front with Zeng Bi's portrait, followed by Ai Jing, Ai Hu and Ai Hui, Feng Ru was not in good health, so he didn't come out with him, but stayed at home to prepare lunch at noon.

Cao Shuangxi and the daughter-in-law of Ru Ai's mother also let Ai Long stay. There will be many guests in the house in a while, and they will have to stay and entertain them.

Ai Xiaoyu followed, fortunately, the cemetery is not far from home, on a hill in Zhulin Village, where it is the cemetery of the ancestors of Zhulin Village, and most of the people in Zhulin Village are buried there.

From a distance, the tombs stand on the mountain, Ai Xiaoyu feels that this place is gloomy and terrifying, there are no small trees here, they are all dozens of meters high, towering into the clouds, there is a sense of isolation and isolation.

Next, it is to put the coffin, bury the mound, erect the monument, and the juniors kowtow again, and everyone cries. Especially the two sisters Ai Jing and Ai Hui cried the most sadly, after all, Zeng Bi was the biological mother of the two.

Ai Xiaoyu cried very sadly, because Zuzu loved her the most, she never knew what it was for, and later learned about Ai's father's life experience, she guessed that Zuzu first loved her because she sympathized with her and couldn't like her grandparents, and later, she was used to it when it hurt.

When everyone returned to the Ai family's old courtyard again, more than 100 tables in the courtyard were full of people, people came and went, Ai Xiaoyu was still glad in her heart, Ai's father and Ai's mother did not notify the business partners, but the Tian family in Jiangjin still came back, after all, they are also from Zhulin Village.

There is nothing to eat in the flowing water banquet in the countryside, first five or six cold dishes, and then pots of soup dishes, plum vegetables and meat, etc., all of which are big pot dishes. For Ai Xiaoyu, who is used to eating food every day, she can't eat at all, so she drank a little soup and didn't move her chopsticks much.

The people around her thought that she was too sad and had no appetite, and she couldn't tell the real reason, so these people misunderstood.

Because of this misunderstanding, Ai Xiaoyu has become the most filial junior in Zhulin Village.

The activity after lunch is that Ai Xiaoyu is something she doesn't like, she always feels like singing and dancing like this, not for a funeral, but like a happy event.

Therefore, she lost 200 people in the band, and after ordering more than a dozen songs, she said hello to Ai Dad and Ai Ma and went home directly.

Of course, Ai Jing was also taken away by her, and the three cousins of the Han family continued to serve as Ai Jing's escorts, learned from Ai Xiaoyu and gave a few hundred, and after ordering a lot of songs, they left.

Although it was rude to do this, Ai Xiaoyu felt that it was better to go home and stay quietly.

The Han brothers have no feelings for Zeng Bi, and they came to Zhulin Village this time to accompany their grandmother, for fear that she would be too sad and hurt her body.

Fortunately, now there is Ai Xiaoyu, a little cousin, who is Ai Jing's personal caretaker, considerate and thoughtful, the three brothers are relieved, and they plan to send Ai Jing home, so they will let Ai Xiaoyu accompany her to visit Zhulin Village.

They found out that this Zhulin Village is not poor, one or two are very generous, and I heard that Ai Dad and Ai Ma invested in building a bamboo products factory in Zhulin Village. (To be continued......)
