Chapter 345: Thank You Guests
You Ran found three uncles and Xu Dong to talk about not accepting gifts, because she knew that some people came today to stuff money on the gift list and move closer to Xu in disguise. But the Xu family has their own development plan, and these people have their own goals, and it is impossible to meet them one by one, and if one of them is not achieved, they will be outraged. Grandma did mention these things before she died, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking that she would live for many years.
Xu Dong said that his mother thought clearly and did the right thing leisurely, and did not accept gifts, which also reduced the financial burden of the villagers. Their money is hard-won, and he guesses that in order to save face, if they write bills, it is estimated that the minimum will not be less than 500 yuan. 500 is not a lot of money for the Zhu family, but some villagers don't want to come up with so much money at all. Zhu Father also agreed to the leisurely decision, there were too many people tonight, almost the whole town came, the people in this village were okay and polite, and some of the people in other villages were far away, and they couldn't get information about what happened, so they would always owe favors. They are already grateful for being able to come to save face for the Zhu family, and I hope they can understand if they don't accept the gift.
After they dispersed, they found their mother and didn't talk to her when they came back. Zhu's mother hugged her and cried bitterly, saying that her grandmother died early, and she really served Grandma Zhu as her own mother, and she left suddenly, and she was very sad. Youran, in turn, comforted her that she was the best mother in the world and the best daughter-in-law of her grandmother, and that she would always be a role model in her heart. Speaking of my grandmother, I leisurely asked my mother if she had notified her aunt.
Zhu's mother said that she called, but the aunt said that the aunt was sick and couldn't leave, so she turned around and asked Rong Jing to make up a red envelope for Youran as a gift. You never expected that the aunt would become like this, if the Zhu family didn't tell her something, she would blame why she didn't tell them afterwards, and she wanted to embarrass them, and it wasn't that she couldn't afford to send it. Let my cousin make up the red envelope, how can there be a red envelope after someone else's funeral. Zhu Mu hugged her tightly and comforted her that she didn't have to think about it, they just had a clear conscience. Leisurely distressed mother, I don't know how many grievances and cold words I have suffered behind my back, a mother's compatriots, but the world is so different.
When the banquet opened in the evening, the courtyard was filled with 100 tables inside and outside, and the people of Sanheyuan and their relatives had not yet served the table. After the filial sons and grandsons finished toasting, the village chief asked them to line up and kowtow to all the guests three times to thank them for their arrival. Then ask Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Sun to sit under the eaves of the east head, he began to explain to everyone the last wish of Grandma before her death, I wish Grandma a lifetime of thrift, and treat her neighbors is also extremely friendly, she thinks that everyone can come today is to give her the greatest face, and the children of the Zhu family must follow the ancestral teachings left by the Zhu family, respect the teacher, be good neighborly and friendly, treat people with generosity, and be honest and trustworthy.
Tonight, I wish the family to thank all the guests who came, and please welcome you to Haihan, the mountains are high and the water is long, thanks to everyone's love for the Zhu family, and in the future, all households should do their best to arrive at the first time. For this reason, the younger generations of the Zhu family will follow Grandma Zhu's will and do not accept gifts! Here, I wish the filial sons and grandsons of the family to bow three times to all relatives and friends, hoping to get everyone's understanding.
Everyone was in an uproar, no wonder there were banquets inside and out, if only 60 tables could be placed in the courtyard, then 40 tables had to be seated a second time. Then, if they hear that they do not accept gifts, at least 80% of them will choose not to eat, so as not to trouble the host family. I wish the family hospitality and warmth, and making such a decision is in line with Grandma Zhu's character.
For some of the guests who came with various purposes, they knew in their hearts that they were embarrassing the main family. Sanheyuan is a century-old courtyard with a deep family education heritage, and more than 100 tables of guests have a very high reputation in the countryside to have such a big scene. There are many reasons not to accept gifts, only the will is not called hypocrisy, and there are many discussions below, each expressing the suspicion in their hearts.
After the meal, the people of the village helped to clean up the table, and the people from the other villages left one after another, wishing the family to thank them one by one. Although it was a funeral, a digital camera was placed on the top of the main door of the main house, and from morning to night, anyone who came was recorded. Their kindness will not be forgotten.
The tables and chairs outside received the inner courtyard, and those who were willing to stay and chat continued to sit, they wanted to spend the last night with Grandma Zhu, and they would go up the mountain tomorrow, and there would be no more chances in the future. Sanheyuan has almost become a tourist attraction in the town, everyone is very envious of such a courtyard house with a simple style and modern style, there are two mighty big lions in front of the gate, how can a small family afford to build such a house. The main thing is to wish the two families unity, and if it is their compound, they will definitely argue over trivial matters.
The eaves corridor of Sanheyuan is connected and spacious, and you don't need to use an umbrella to visit the door when it rains. Probably expected in advance, just like today's event, more than 100 tables of people, can only be held in the courtyard, and the rain-sheltering plastic cloth is hidden under the eaves on each side, when used, it can be stretched directly, and it can be propped up on the shelf, which is very flexible and convenient. Surrounded by various fruit trees, vegetable gardens and flowers outside the courtyard, the pigsty and chicken pen are concentrated in one place, and the ventilated house is built, while the original thatched latrine has been changed indoors, and the sewage is discharged to the septic tank outside the pigsty and mixed with poultry manure to become the best household fertilizer for planting crops. The house is fully equipped with all kinds of household appliances and furniture, which is more comfortable than living in the city.
Leisurely let some older relatives sleep first, and all rooms of Sanhein can rest. The young man had to spend time playing poker around the table in the yard. She saw that Sun Bo was still sitting on the side of the coffin with Grandpa Sun, so she asked him to take Grandpa to rest first, and tomorrow when Grandpa went up the mountain, if Grandpa's body allowed, Grandma would come again. Grandpa Sun waved his hand hard, meaning that he would not go back, this was the last journey and must be guarded.
Sun Bo also explained that although he knew that Grandma Zhu might have a grudge against him, he also had to do his part and accompany his grandfather until dawn before sending him up the mountain. Shook her head leisurely, grandma is a broad person, and she must be grateful to him for coming back from Wuhan so far away and will not blame. It's just that Grandpa Sun is older than Grandma, so Grandma can't afford it. Sun Bo said that he would not wait any longer, and if his grandfather was really sleepy, he would drive back and come back tomorrow. Leisurely thanks to them for being so affectionate and loving, it is generally difficult for the hospital to ask for leave, this time she specially returned for her grandmother, and she remembers this friendship. Sun Bo asked her not to say extra kind words, wishing her grandmother a long life, and also asking her not to be too sad.
Here, Xu Xianhui and Xu Yutong, who were beside Grandpa Liu, also persuaded him to sleep first and wake him up when the coffin was opened in the morning. Grandpa Liu also insisted on guarding, they said that his body was important, and Grandpa Liu said that if it was more in his way to take his life because of this, his heart would have gone with the eldest lady. Xu Xianhui walked to the opposite side and asked Leisurely to persuade, how can you stand staying up late when you are old.
