Chapter 269

In our place, coffins are divided into three categories, one is red, one is black, and one is golden.

The red coffin is for the old people who are dying, the black coffin is for those who die of illness or accident, and the gold is for the rich.

Each type of coffin, because of the different materials, can be divided into several grades.

The general coffins are made of pine or cypress, and the better one is paulownia, of course, the rich also use nanmu.

But these coffins are not surprising, as long as you have money, you can do it.

But the most unusual thing in our place is that there is also a kind of coffin, which is made of pure copper.

It stands to reason that it is made of pure copper, even if it is the best copper, it will not cost too much money, but why is the coffin of pure copper the most rare?

It starts with our rules here.

In order to achieve respect for the deceased, as long as the deceased enters the coffin, then the coffin cannot fall to the ground before entering the cemetery, and there is also the saying that the coffin is carried.

What is a coffin?

After the deceased is put into the coffin, it will always be placed in the courtyard of the house, and on the day of the funeral, all the labor will be gathered to lift the coffin, just like carrying a sedan chair, and the coffin will be carried from the house to the ancestral grave.

You can stop in the middle, but you must not land, and even if you put it down, you have to put something underneath.

Therefore, the heavier the coffin and the more people who carry the coffin, the more it can show the grandeur of the funeral and the filial piety of the children and grandchildren.

So when we saw the coffin that Hongwei and Hongyu bought for Guoxian's grandfather, I was still surprised.

Because I saw that the body of this coffin was actually inlaid with a layer of copper, and from the appearance, it was like gilding, and it was brilliant.

No wonder it was so heavy, a tractor reluctantly transported the coffin very hard.

Hongwei and Hongyu have really made a lot of money.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to unload the coffin, and under the guidance of the boss, the coffin lid was opened.

The elder in command of the crowd, who was clearly the chief of the funeral, commanded the coffin to be unloaded, and then shouted to another tiled room:

"Grandiose, Hongyu, it's not too early, let's enter the museum."

It turned out that these two brothers didn't stay by Guoxian's grandfather's side and stayed in other rooms all the time.

After a while, the brothers were seen walking out.

When they came out, the two brothers had tears on their faces and looked very sad.

But I have a feeling I can't put it into words.

Looking at the sad appearance of the two of them, it is completely like the unfilial son who "gave birth or did not raise, die and not buried" before.

But I always felt that these two people were a little cowering, as if they were frightened, afraid of something.

The two of them went listlessly to the principal and said:

"Uncle, listen to your old man."

The director waved his hand, and everyone walked towards the room where Guoxian's grandfather was placed.

As soon as Hongwei and Hongyu walked in, I heard the heart-rending cries of the two of them:

"Dad, Dad...... Why did you just leave? Oh my dad! ”

As soon as he cried twice, he was angrily reprimanded by the principal:

"Confused, child? At this time, you can't cry, don't you know? ”

Then, the sound stopped abruptly.

I'm confused.

Before the deceased enters the museum, relatives are not allowed to shed tears, let alone cry sounds, this person knows the common sense, how can these two brothers not know?

Is it really too sad and forgot?

I stood still, and Anne Bai pushed me:

"What are you doing?"

"Go in and have a look."

Speechless, this Nizi, it's really not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"What's so nice about that? What else can you tell about a corpse? ”

Anne Bai disagreed:

"Not necessarily."

As he spoke, without waiting for my consent, he followed the flow of people and squeezed in.

My bowels are blue.

Why should I listen to her, why should I bring her here?

Originally, our family and Guoxian's grandfather's family were not related to each other, just neighbors, we stood here, it was already very embarrassing, this Nizi had to squeeze in, see what was going on, watch people enter the museum, this was discovered by others, I don't know what to think.

I couldn't help it, so I walked in while I wasn't prepared.

Bai Annie's character, if I don't go in, I don't know what outrageous actions I will make.

As soon as I stepped inside, I smelled a sour smell.

I hurriedly covered my nose.

I know, it's a belly breaker.

After a person dies, the feces and urine will be excreted, and to put it bluntly, it is incontinence.

He was born without anything, and he left cleanly after death.

Hongwei and Hongyu, because of their relatives, did not cover their noses, and the main thing, obviously, has experienced a lot and has long been used to it, and like normal people, everyone else covers their noses.

What I didn't expect was that Bai Annie looked fine.

This Nizi, is it so heavy?

After a moment of habitation, the group took their hands off their noses.

The principal asked:

"Are the clothes ready?"

"I bought it early."

As he spoke, Hongwei took out a set of shrouds from the closet.

The principal said:

"Take off all the jewelry from your dad."

Hongwei lowered his head embarrassedly and whispered:

"There's nothing on my dad."

The principal nodded helplessly, pointed to some plastic jewelry mixed with the shroud, and said:

"Then bring those to your dad."

It is also our rule here, after people die, especially women, before changing the shroud, they must take off all the valuable things on the body, because these things cannot be taken away by the dead, and it is useless to wear them on the body, and if you wear these things into the ground, it may attract tomb robbers, so before changing into the shroud, take off the valuable jewelry and replace it with jewelry made of worthless plastic.

Hongwei did so, and put plastic bracelets and other jewelry on Guoxian's grandfather one by one.

At this time, I saw magnificent hands, trembling.

And the magnificent eyes, he didn't dare to look at the corpse of Guoxian's grandfather at all, and he put the bracelet on the wrong bracelet several times.

Trembling, definitely not because of sadness, but because of fear.

What is he afraid of?

As a son, how can he be afraid of his biological father?

After wearing it, the principal said to Hongwei and Hongyu:

"Go and call both of your sons and daughters."

Obviously, after Hongwei and Hongyu heard that they were going to call their son and daughter, their bodies trembled, and they looked at the main thing incomprehensibly.

"This is the rule, do you understand?"

Hongwei and Hongyu suddenly realized, nodded and went out.

Then the principal took the shroud over, opened it, and did not directly change the clothes for Guoxian's grandfather, but put the underwear into the outer coat, waiting for Hongwei and Hongyu.
