Chapter 344: The Gift of Hospitality

By the time the group arrived at Sanhe Courtyard, Xu Dong and Xu Rui had already put on filial piety clothes and were saluting the guests who came one after another. Leisurely and Yueyue, Jian An desperately ran to the coffin of the main house, although this yard was big, it had never felt so big, as if it couldn't run to the front no matter how much it ran. Finally, a bunch of people knelt in front of the coffin and cried bitterly, Shaoqin heard the cry, came out of the back kitchen and saw that he was back leisurely, and quickly asked the eldest sister to help persuade her, wishing the grandchildren here in the family that she is the greatest, and there are still many things waiting for her to make a decision.

Shaojin said that he wished grandma so much distress for them, so he let them cry for a while, and rushed back thousands of miles, but they still didn't catch up. Anyone is sad in their hearts, and if they say this kind of thing, let the men of the same generation pull it, otherwise the more they persuade, the more they want to cry. Shaoqin felt that what the eldest sister said was right, as long as she heard the crying, she couldn't help crying, her hands trembled, and she went to the kitchen to help pick vegetables first. Shaojin walked over to say hello to Shaoheng, and asked him to wait a while to persuade Youran, and heard Shaoqin say that there will be many leading cadres tonight, if you don't arrange it in advance, you are afraid that you will be talked about again if you don't entertain you well. When Shaoheng heard it, he said that he knew, since they were all back, the eldest brother Shaoyong was not in good health and couldn't be the master, and Zhu Yulin had never experienced these things when he worked in the field, so he helped Youran to support what he had to do.

He walked up to the head of the house, that is, the village chief, and explained that leisurely mood needed to be excessive, and it was difficult to calm down for a while, and everything that needed to be negotiated at the funeral was coordinated by him for leisurely. Although it was a funeral, but Youran definitely didn't want to snub every guest, the village chief thought about it, except that there was really no more suitable person in front of him, so many years, I only heard that Youran gave birth to a child, but I didn't see her husband. The preliminary work has basically been implemented, and the most important thing is to know what level of cadres and some businessmen will come. After all, everyone will use the name of the funeral to get into a relationship with the Xu family. Even the people of this village feel that this gift is difficult to give, and they can't take it out if they give too much, and they are afraid that they won't be able to see it if they give it less.

Shaoheng thought about it, fifty tables can be seated in the courtyard at one time, and it is a round table, how to distinguish between the rich and the poor. The funeral is not better than the happy event, according to the old rules, voluntarily sit, each table has two seats, until the seat is full. Although Xu Dong is the eldest son of Grandma Zhu, he is a vulgar party, and everyone will not blame him for his poor manners. And Zhu Youran definitely didn't want some guests to feel looked down upon. Speaking of intimacy, the people in the village are the people who are the most happy to grandma, they are the happiest even if they don't send money, and other people from afar come with various purposes, and there are many people who don't even know him.

Xu Xianhui and Xu Yutong have been with Grandpa Liu, and they have taken medicine several times, but their blood pressure has been unstable. Grandpa Liu's tears have not been heard since last night, he said that he is so old, there is no point in living at all, it is better to leave with the eldest lady. Xu Xianhui comforted him, there were still them and the entire Xu family behind him, if grandma was still there, he wouldn't say this, now that grandma is gone, it's time to return to the right place.

Grandpa Liu asked her not to be so realistic, it sounded very annoying, he was old like this, what responsibility did he shoulder. Besides, his surname is now Liu, and it will be his responsibility unless the Xu family is changed to the Liu family. Xu Xianhui felt that he was starting to cheat again, Xu Yutong touched her, which meant that he could still lose his temper and prove that his body could bear it, so he just sat around and watched, and avoided going out to say hello to a group of strangers he didn't know.

There is a world of difference in emotions between people, grandma is their grandma, but grandma. The heart is always in the wish home. Therefore, they were just ordered by their father to come over for a walk, and emotionally speaking, they were no different from strangers. They are also alienated from their grandfather's aunts who got married and gave birth in Hong Kong, and it is in vain to get close to each other without maintaining their affection. It's like their mother, who insists on making excuses that she will not come to this poor place if there is something.

I wish my father to tell Jian An not to cry, he is a man in the family, he must be strong to take care of the guests, these cousins and cousins are all from afar, to greet them. By the way, I persuaded you again, people can't be resurrected after death, everyone is watching her every move, and you can't snub the guests because of sadness. Jian An wiped away his tears, listened to his father's words, pulled up the crying sisters and cousins, and returned the gift before the coffin by him and Xiaokang, and the rest was arranged by the manager.

The village chief meets Grandma Zhu. The children and grandchildren have arrived, and they have cried and cried, and the next thing is to get down to business, call them to the north roof, and assign them a reception task for each of them. From the moment the guest enters the hospital, a relative must stand to greet him and follow his arrangement. After arranging the reception, the village chief specially mentioned to Youran what he had discussed with Shaoheng before, and leisurely agreed with Shaoheng's arrangement. They are in charge of hospitality, but do not take any money, so as to avoid a lot of embarrassment, ask him to keep it a secret first, and wait for the guests to eat before announcing it.

The village chief was taken aback, this made it difficult for him to do, and it would make the guests think that the Zhujia family was not appreciative, and they were here to pay tribute and not to beg for food. People from other villages can not accept it, but the people of this village respect Grandma Zhu as much as their own parents, and as soon as they heard that she had died, they immediately put down their farm work and rushed to help. There are also people who work in Shiyan City have asked for leave to come back to help, and Sun Bo rushed back from Wuhan to see things and began to do them, everyone is sincere, don't cool their hearts. More money and less money just express the sorrow in their hearts.

Youran asked him not to worry, wait for her to go to the room to write a letter, just say that it was her grandmother's suicide note, repeatedly emphasizing that she can handle it after her death, and she is not allowed to accept gifts from anyone, including the daughter who got married, and then let Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Sun testify, and the matter will be settled. Although the village chief is the chief manager, he still has to obey the wishes of the master's family, and besides, the deceased is the greatest, and he is the person they respect, so he nodded and agreed to do so. In fact, now who has something to do not want the guests to give more gifts, and the gift money is rising year by year, from a few cents before the reform and opening up to the current 100 yuan can not be taken, everyone will compare with each other in the bottom of their hearts, all kinds of banquets have dragged down some poor families, and the family does not accept gifts is also an example role.

Over the years, she has done a lot for her hometown, although the Xu family has contributed a lot of money, but if she hadn't taken the lead, there would be no cooperative today. From the fact that she does not accept gifts, it can be seen that her heart has not changed, as long as she can do it without ambiguity. Nowadays, the income of the villagers in the village ranks ahead of other villages every year, and although the other villages are also developing well, the establishment of cooperatives has left them behind. After becoming Yunyang District, the development opportunities will be greater, and their village has been closely following the policy, not wanting to be left behind.
