Everyone was very busy inside and out, the aunt who took care of her just now was called to find something, and Xia Qing was left crying to her sadly, she wanted to go to the coffin to cry again, but was pulled by Shengli and sat on the stool. Sheng Li was anxious in her heart, the first time she saw this kind of scene, she saw her aunt crying, although she knew that the deceased was gone, but she still couldn't bear it in her heart.

Zhou Qian saw that Shengli hadn't gone over to sit yet, so he wanted to see what was going on, crossed the threshold, and saw that she was being held by a woman, and the guest shouted Xia Qing, and she didn't move. Zhou Qian finally saw Xia Qing, who had not seen him for twenty years, he couldn't remember his young appearance, and now he couldn't recognize it, he was old, his face was dark, his ears were short, and he looked a few years older than him. Over the years, I don't know what kind of life she has lived, but I have always heard that some people on the Tianshan Beam have a hard life, the mountains are high, there is a lack of water, and the grain harvest depends on God. How did she survive all these years!

Zhou Qian didn't approach or leave, and he estimated that Xia Qing was not in the mood to recognize him, which was an eternal scar in her heart. Xia Qing kept her eyes closed and cried, just now the guest told her that she should arrange to pour wine and luggage, and she didn't notice that Zhou Qian was standing in front of her. Sheng Li found Zhou Qian and hoped that he could help, but she was a little scared on such a sad occasion.

Zhou Qian walked over and quietly told her to let her take care of it, and the table would start immediately, and all the guests would be called to sit at the table. Shengli had to sit there, her hands were sweating, and she was a little irritable, and she was also particular about crying and mourning, generally two or three times at night, with the people who sang the funeral drums, starting once, once in the middle of the night, and once at dawn. This endless crying is only done by those who care most about the deceased, such as the old man's daughter-in-law just now, who has not a single tear.

Zhou Qian returned to the table of their mourning drum team, and the guests asked them to eat first, and after eating, they started the singing road, and the filial piety song officially began, and the other guests listened while eating. After the guests have eaten and finished the ceremony, those who are willing to stay with the elderly will stay, and those who are unwilling to stay will go home to rest, and wait until the next day to go up the mountain and then send the deceased on their last journey.

Zhou Qian never thought that Xia Qing would grow old like this, and she couldn't piece it together with when she was young, what it was like back then, her mind was blurred. What she did at that time was going to prison today, and the Xia family never troubled him, proving that she had been hiding this matter. Seeing that her heart ached, if there was retribution on him, he was the least afraid of these.

After eating, he began to open the song road (please God), at the three-fork intersection, Xia Zhenghua knelt in front, firecrackers remembered, tonight's filial piety song officially began, filial piety burned paper while walking. The guests here called for other guests to eat the banquet, Xia Qing pulled her a little reluctantly, this girl felt like her own heart, and the more she looked at it when she was young, the more she looked at it. The Zheng family's yard is very large, but because it is not a relative, she has never been there, what kind of person is her mother, who will give birth to a child similar to herself.

Shengli didn't say anything comforting from beginning to end, just quietly held her hand, and when it was time to eat, she left, found Uncle Zheng's wine table, and sat in the next seat. Usually anyone and everything you meet can be eloquent, but tonight is speechless. Got up and walked away before, not because she was disgusted with the dirt on those people, and Katsuo and her father would have a lot of dirt on their bodies when they were doing farm work, and she never cared about it, but because their bad words made her feel out of place. Clothes that are dirty can be washed, and the thinking in the head is very difficult to correct. Thanks to Zhou Qian for protecting her and helping her out, and Xia Qing, they are the warmest people among these faces.

Zhou Qian is singing and opening the song road: a red cloud rises in the east, a purple cloud opens in the west, who is a filial piety to open a singing field, attracting singers from all over the world, opening the song road and opening the song road, and building a song platform ...... Opened the song to change the tone, changed the seven-character song to Yang, filial piety men and filial piety listened to the words, turned some paper money to pick up the dead, the deceased came to the yin and yang world, bid farewell to the emperor of the East Land City, and took Guan Wen on the road, one hand yin to one hand yang. The deceased came to the east, Mu Dexingjun picked up the new dead, and the boy in Tsing Yi came to guide the way and escort the old dragon king of the East China Sea; The deceased came to the south, the fire star king picked up the new dead, and the yellow-clothed boy came to guide the way and escort the old dragon king of the South China Sea; When the deceased came to the west, Jin Dexingjun picked up the new deceased, and the red-clothed boy came to guide the way and escort the old dragon king of the West Sea; The deceased came to the north, the king of the stars picked up the new dead, and the boy in white came to guide the way and escort the old dragon king of the North Sea; The deceased came to the center, Tude Xingjun picked up the new dead, the black-clothed boy came to guide the way, and the dragon gods of the five directions were busy.

The eight fairy spirit table is square, the east, west, north and south are placed in the center, the food and wine are placed on the table, the new deceased comes to the party, and there will be a dream again in the future, the blue sky is sad and the red sun falls, the white clouds are covered with filial piety and the white is boundless, the green mountains bow their heads and cry sadly, the green water howls and breaks the intestines, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, which does not die for a long time, the palace of the king of Hades said ruthlessly, everyone is this end, the undead are explained, the singers listen to the heart, I worship deeply in front of the spirit, I want to worship the rank of the song Xiucai, the rest of the singing is outside the door, I don't know the level and rhyme.

The song field is a Liangshan cottage, heroes and heroes gathered, the old don't put the qualifications, the few don't play in the ring, the near guests want to treat the distant guests, the distant guests want to play the harmony card, the deceased returned to the world today, the eight seats and eight sedan chairs should be carried, and the favor was a thousand days, and there was an autumn wind and night rain, and the filial piety officer wanted to buy the favor, and then thank the public for the stage in the future, the family has their own love debts, which dare to hang the card of nothing, this is the rest of the confession, love to play and play on the field, Yang Song to this back, change to the Yin Song funeral platform......

Sheng Li looked at the banquet table, although she was also particular, but after all, everyone was hungry, the eight side dishes were almost swept away, and some people used chopsticks to stir around on the plate to sip the vinegar soup. Then the eight large bowls, such as sugar elbows, and tamales are one or one piece of tamale, and there is no excess, and they all enter their mouths when they are served. Sheng Li handed his share to Uncle Zheng to eat, and he was naturally very happy. As soon as a few large bowls were served, the guests began to thank the guests for coming, and asked Xia Zhenghua's sons Xia Shan and Xia Qing to bow to the guests three times, and then each poured three glasses of wine. When she arrived at Shengli, she met Xia Qing to pour her wine, and Shengli said that she didn't drink, so Xia Qing helped pour a cup of tea. Shengli can't say the taste, on this occasion, there is only a filial son and a guest, therefore, all etiquette must be missing.

Zhou Qian and they finished singing, and walked to the gate of the mourning hall, one person carried a drum, one person carried a big gong, and one person patted a big leaf (a kind of ringer), to sing a section of "Open Five Directions", a bench at the door had three glasses of wine (to honor the dead), three packs of cigarettes, three towels, and three red envelopes, which were prepared for Zhou Qian and them. It is usually sung like this:

Open the song road to open the five directions, a table and a stove of incense, and invite the singer to open the five directions. Open the Oriental A and B Wood, the wood is high and the leaves return to the roots, nine people and nine horses stand at the east gate, ride a green horse to play the green flag, the green flag disturbs the green flag to fly, and the oriental land leads the soul.

Filial piety songs were sung in the mourning hall, followed by Zhou Qian with filial piety and filial piety, with filial piety cloth on his head, and each holding a stick of incense in his hand. The large number of people following behind also shows that the deceased was alive and prosperous, and there were many descendants, and the fewer they were, the more lonely they became. Therefore, if it is not a relative, you can also follow a few circles to express the meaning of worship, in fact, most people are still reluctant to go to mourning, and feel unlucky.

After Shengli finished eating, she thought that she was leaving, she and her grandmother were also fateful, and besides, she belonged to Gao Shou, which was considered a joy and mourning, and it was completely okay to send her. He took an incense stick in front of the incense burner and bowed three times, and then turned around with the filial son. Zhou Qian began to sing "Twenty-Four Filial Piety", and someone next to him began to mutter some legends about him, if he was a filial son, he would not be struck by lightning, and it was simply ironic for him to sing such a song.

Sheng Li heard it and found that what Zhou Qian had told her before was right, and it was better to be silent than to explain. suddenly had a feeling of "the world laughs at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it". In the face of those harsh words, he went through his intestines like wine and meat, what Hades, what Jade Emperor, what should be it.

As soon as the incense was burned, Shengli stopped, and Uncle Zheng lit a torch and waited for her to go home. Along the way, the two walked cautiously, fortunately the weather was fine, and there was some moonlight, Uncle Zheng praised Shengli all the way for winning glory for the Zheng family's courtyard, and he would definitely be admitted to a good university, those who talk nonsense don't be angry, she said that she had forgotten. It's just that when she left, Xia Qing sent it again and again, and at night, no one saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and she cried so much that it broke her heart for some reason.

Sheng Li told Uncle Zheng about the grandmother who called her "Qing'er" in the hospital before, and asked Xia Qing if her nickname was "Qing'er", Uncle Zheng smiled and said that they all called "Qin Wazi", and it was possible for her mother to call her like that. Shengli asked Xia Qing how many times she had married, and Uncle Zheng said that just that time in Tianshan, I don't know who made the matchmaker and ran so far.

asked her again if she was very similar to Xia Qing when she was young, Uncle Zheng was stunned, stood there and looked carefully with a torch, recalling when Xia Qing was young, when everyone was busy working in a big group, and they were not in the same team, he had only seen her once, and he had heard about everything else, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

He said that it seemed to be a bit similar, but he really couldn't tell where it was, at that time, the girls were all with their heads down, how could they be as lively and active as Mu Guiying. Sheng Li asked Xia Qing again if there were only two sisters and brothers? Uncle Zheng said that they had an elder brother who died of illness and had no money for treatment, and it seemed that he was only a teenager. Sheng Li sighed, Uncle Zheng asked if he suspected that his life experience was related to the Xia family, and Sheng Li acquiesced. Uncle Zheng said that it was unlikely, Xia Qing got married very early, Xia Zhenghua was only in his early 30s, and he had never heard that Xia's mother was pregnant again.

Sheng Li couldn't get in touch either, the old grandmother was probably sick and confused, and everyone she saw was what her daughter looked like when she was young. Sheng Li told Uncle Zheng not to speak out, lest her family misunderstand that she was looking for her biological parents. Uncle Zheng understands that not only she is curious, but many people are curious about whose daughter she is, saying that she threw away such a good child. Sheng Li smiled and said that the Zheng family's yard has good feng shui, making people rich and making people rich, and Uncle Zheng is also happy, this girl can speak.

Relatives persuaded Xia Qing to eat some food, she couldn't eat, someone next to her talked about Zhou Qian's filial piety singing well, and her mind began to recall the unruly man when she was young. At that time, she didn't know anything about men and women, thinking that there would be nothing after that time, but she was found to be pregnant a few months later. She was scolded by her parents every day, and the child couldn't be beaten, so she had to hide quietly at home. Since then, the first man in her life has not been seen again. Later, she married far away, her husband was a responsible person, driving a tractor to run around, all the housework, mountain work was done by her and her father-in-law, working day and night, and became the current bitter gourd face and rough hands.

The past should be forgotten, now that Zhou Qian is by her side, she has lost the courage to hate, and besides, her husband and children are here, so she can only act as if nothing has happened because of her feelings. Thinking about it, she cried again, why did her life become so bitter! Zhou Qian could vaguely hear the crying next to him while singing, he knew that except for Xia Qing, no junior was so sad, and he thought silently in his heart, there were some sad things, maybe it was better to cry, he was wrong, but he didn't have the courage to admit it.

About an hour later, Sheng Li and Uncle Zheng returned home, and Uncle Zheng told her to go through the brazier (over the brazier or smoke her body with mugwort means to get rid of bad luck) and then enter the house. After jumping over the brazier, I walked into the kitchen, saw warm water in the pot, stuffed some firewood by the way, added some water to cool off, and changed all my clothes. As the old saying goes, people are not poor in water, and after changing the wash, so as not to give the eldest lady a handle to count her down.
