Chapter 278: Paper
In our hometown, funerals are generally very respectful of rules, so I didn't expect Hongwei and Hongyu to refuse me, or at least hesitate for a while, I have to plead again and again, who knows that Hongwei directly agreed:
"Xiao Shu, it's rare that you have a filial piety to my father, how can we refuse to be sons."
It's rare for you to be filial to my dad?
Does that sound so awkward?
But when I looked up and was about to thank the two of them, I saw Hongwei and Hongyu staring at Bai Annie behind me.
I knew that at this time, the two brothers were definitely not coveting Bai Annie's peerless beauty, but before I could explain, Hongwei first asked:
"Xiao Shu, such a girl behind you, can you come together?"
I immediately understood.
My old man's words.
In the morning, the chief asked Hongwei to invite my old man, but my old man did not come, but brought a sentence:
If something happens, look for me, and if I can't solve it, look for Anne Bai.
It seems that they believe my old man's words from the bottom of their hearts.
This also confirms once again that there must be something in this.
In this way, I don't have to bother to explain, I just said:
"She joined me to wake the spirit of Grandpa Guoxian."
A hint of joy flashed on the face of the magnificent and Hongyu, and he hurriedly welcomed us in.
Once inside, they both stopped again.
Because they realized that there was one more person behind me.
Fatso.
No one was aware of the existence of the fat man before, but at this time, the fat man followed behind me, and I was originally eye-catching enough to guard the spirit as an outsider, but now I brought two people at once.
The point is that these two people are too "weird"!
One has a peerless face, and the other is fat.
So when we go into the yard, naturally people will focus their eyes on the fat man who has nothing to do with it.
In the sentence that my old man brought back, there was no mention of the fat man.
Hongwei pointed to the fat man and asked:
"Xiao Shu, he's ......"
Negligence.
I was negligent.
How to explain it?
Can't you also say that the relationship between the fat man and Guoxian's grandfather is also very good?
I don't believe it myself.
"This ...... This one...... Fat man he ......"
I'm a little incoherent.
"Fatty! Come on! ”
What a familiar sound.
As soon as I turned my head, my grandmother ran over, twisted the fat man's ears, and scolded:
"Fatty, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to come early, what time is it, you're really a pig's brain. ”
While twisting, drag the fat man inside.
While dragging and talking to himself, he didn't actually talk to himself, but deliberately explained to others:
"This is a distant relative of mine, he's a pig brain, in addition to eating, is eating, you look at the fat of this body, don't I just think, I'll come over to help, and let him satisfy his cravings, so let him come."
Not to mention, my grandmother's explanation, those neighbors still believe it.
Originally, there was a happy event in the countryside, and only one person came to help, and it was normal for their children to come to eat and drink.
But I saw that the fat man's face was all green.
Pig brain, in addition to eating or eating, it is estimated that he is not happy to hear my grandmother say this about him.
But he also has no good seizures.
My grandmother took the fat man to the middle of the yard and sat down with a few aunts who were about the same age, aunts
Surround the fat man in the middle, you say a word, I say a word, teasing the fat man, the face of the fat man, one moment red, another moment green.
Jokes and jokes, in the hands of these aunts, the work has not stopped.
Do? Those who make filial clothes.
It is said that it is filial piety, but in fact, it is a piece of white cloth, a few simple stitches, and the outline of a garment is enough, and the filial sons wear it on their bodies without falling off.
Anne White and I were also brought over by Magnificent.
Since you want to keep a wake for your grandfather, you have to wear filial piety clothes.
Hongwei walked over and said to my grandmother:
"Auntie, make one for Xiao Shu, you are familiar with his clothes."
My grandmother agreed.
But I refused:
"I can't wear filial piety clothes!"
Actually, it's not that I can't wear it, it's that I don't want to wear it.
Although it is said that it is to keep the spirit of the grandfather of the country, but after all, I have no relatives and no reason with the grandfather of the country, and there is no blood relationship, I came to guard the spirit of the grandfather of the country, the reason is because we have a good relationship and deep feelings, but I am not a filial son, so I still don't wear this filial piety clothes.
Hongwei understood as soon as he heard my words, and he didn't force it, let us find a random place to sit, and he went to work.
I watched as the filial sons and grandchildren all wore filial piety clothes, and then the funeral began to get busy.
There was still about half an hour before the first "bet paper", there was really nowhere to go, and there was nothing to do, Bai Annie gave me a look, and the two of us walked towards the mourning hall.
It is said to be a mourning hall, which is a temporary mourning shed, surrounded by a coffin, and two small houses are built with white cloth.
The two houses are separated by a white cloth in the middle, and the coffin is placed in the back room, where we will wake tonight.
In front of a house, there is a square table placed on the inside, a photo of the grandfather of the country is erected and placed on the table, in front of the photo, there are rows of large bowls of tribute, the first row of roast chicken, the second row of square pig's head meat, the third row of steamed buns piled up into a mountain, the fourth row of apples and bananas of various fruits, the fifth row, under each bowl, pressed five Mao grandpa.
Looking at this formation, Hongwei and Hongyu have really made a lot of money.
I thought to myself.
A mattress was spread on the ground in front of the table, which was prepared for those who came to worship the grandfather of the country tonight.
On the white cloth wall all around, there are images of the Eight Immortals hanging on the left and right, and these eight images have one thing in common, the Eight Immortals on the image, every eye is focused on the photo of Guoxian's grandfather.
I still don't understand why the mourning hall is laid out like this.
I saw that Anne Bai was very focused, so I asked:
"Do you see anything unusual?"
Bai Annie spread her hands:
"How do I know!"
How do you know! You don't know if you still look at yarn!
At this moment, all the filial sons gathered over, went directly into the mourning hall, and walked behind the coffin.
"Bet on the paper"!
The first "bet on paper"!
As we said earlier, on the street of our street, there is a small temple, although this temple has been destroyed before, but it has already been renovated, and the people in the village are more and more convinced of this, the incense is continuous, every New Year's holiday, there will be people who go out to do business and make money to come back, buy a box of tens of thousands of firecrackers, and put them at the temple gate.
The so-called paper is a kind of worship ritual.
Of course, the gods in this small temple are worshipped, although I still don't know which god is enshrined in this temple.
