Less than half a month after Zhongshan Lu's meal of wine, Huang Yue's father was seriously ill and died. As the old saying goes, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and he was in a bad mood and under too much pressure, so he quarreled with his colleagues from the entertainment channel in the office and confronted the leader. People, bad luck, the misfortunes of life hit one after another.

A few of us went to help deal with the aftermath, which is called "Helping Bai Xishi." The ancients in this area of Xingcheng had a good concept, believing that people's death is a return to the fairy town, so it is called Bai Xishi, so it is commonly known as "helping Bai Xishi".

After setting up the mourning shed, it is inevitable to invite relatives and friends who come to mourn to have a meal, and there is also the saying of "eating rotten meat and rice", and there are also places called "eating white-skinned meat", these shouts are intuitive, but they sound panicked.

But there are also a lot of people who don't mind, and when the meal is opened, many people who don't recognize it, and even call Hanako to come one after another, "People die and the rice is opened, so they don't invite them to come naturally." "At this time, it is generally difficult for the host to stop or drive away, as long as the visitor bows in front of the body and puts incense on it.

There are also those who know a little bit about the taste and are very familiar with the routine, and put a small firecracker before worshipping, even if it is to report the meal for eating this rotten meat rice. When it was the turn of relatives and friends to speak, those who usually asked them to borrow a hundred yuan would probably find an excuse not to borrow, their tongues were bright, their voices were full of tears, and their snot was about to fall out at any time.

Before the funeral, the filial son Huang Yue kept vigil all night, commonly known as sitting at night and keeping vigil. A few of us also went to sleep with us, so we had to play mahjong all night to resist the drowsiness and cold in the middle of the night.

Most of the guests gathered in the shed of Xiaotang to listen to the songs, which is the "night song" spoken by the people of Xingcheng. In the past, there were relatives and friends who sang it, but now Xingcheng people are popular and outsourced, and they ask singers to sing it, because this kind of song has a certain tune and content, and they are more familiar with the routine. This industry seems to be developing very well, and now there is a "one-stop" contract from building a funeral shed to making rotten meat rice to sending cremation and burial, which has effectively promoted the development of the local tertiary industry.

My mother talked about the old society, there was money in the house, and the family with a prosperous family sometimes had to sing for several days in a row, and the traditional repertoire was "Twenty-four Filial Piety" and some mourning music, etc., and later added a lot of pop songs. Originally, there were "Little Poplar", "Where Peach Blossoms Bloom", etc.; Later, Lin Yilun's "Love Birds" and Mao Ning's "Tao Body Remains" are all popular songs that are often heard; In fact, these songs have nothing to do with the funeral itself, and the category of mourning music is not played together, mainly to be lively and pleasant.

Now it has added some fashion elements to keep pace with the times, such as Jay Chou and Fei Yuqing's "Thousands of Miles Away": "I'll send you away, ...... thousands of miles away"

That night I lost a lot playing mahjong, the most memorable thing for me was that I was actually playing "Will You Come Tonight" in the spirit shed, the usually very warm song sounded hairy, I couldn't concentrate, always fired.

This is also to blame for my lack of knowledge, but later I heard that there is a higher one in the Malanshan area of Star City, and the local stage team likes to shout under the accompaniment of heavy metal: "Come with me, let's go now......"

Not long after his father's funeral, Huang Yue resigned, saying that he was going to a sister in Shenzhen. Everyone originally wanted to set him a table for candied wine, but they didn't even meet before leaving, and they left when they said they left, and they didn't have time to say goodbye.
