Chen Mingde, the old man of the Chen family, was buried in Xiaolongtangou Village, Loess Liangzi Commune, below Pingquan in Chengde, which belongs to the junction of Hebei, Liaoning, and Mongolian provinces.

It's far away from the camp, and it's not close to Qingshangou, so you need to reverse several times to get there, which is very troublesome.

And after so many years, I don't know if Chen Mingde's grave is still there, and it is really difficult to move the grave and bury it together.

But this is the old lady's last wish, and since Chen Minsheng and the others know where the old man is buried, no matter how difficult it is, they must also bring back the old man's bones.

So the three brothers Chen Minsheng, plus Qu Weiyang and others, took the time to discuss together.

In the end, it was decided that after the old lady had stopped for three days, she would be buried in a coffin first, but not sent to the cemetery for burial.

Chen Minsheng and Chen Min'an, two brothers, led Wanlu Wanqi to Loess Liangzi to find a way to find Chen Mingde's grave, and sent a telegram back after finding it.

If they are found, the bones will be cremated on the spot, and the ashes will go straight to Qingshangou.

After receiving a telegram here, the old lady was also cremated, and Chen Minfeng, Wanfu and others, with the old lady's ashes, set off to Qingshangou.

When the time comes, everyone will meet in Qingshangou and bury the old Chen family in the old cemetery of the Chen family.

This is the most appropriate plan for everyone to discuss together, so Chen Minsheng made a decision and did it accordingly.

The old lady is the eighteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and there is no one in the early morning of the eighteenth day of the eleventh month of the Gregorian calendar.

According to the customs of the Northeast, this is called the three days of the Great Day, that is, the eighteenth and nineteenth days of the funeral, and the funeral on the morning of the 20th.

In previous years, the weather was quite cold in November, and sometimes heavy snow had already covered the ground. This year seems to be a little colder, and these two days have not been so cold.

Fortunately, the spirit booth was erected outside, and the people who kept the spirit were not so sinned. If it's in a hurry, I can't stand kneeling outside to keep a watch.

Burning paper has been hung outside the gate of Chen's house, the old lady is eighty-one, and there is a long string of burning paper.

The people in the commune got up early and saw the paper at the door of Chen's house at a glance, and immediately understood that this was the absence of the old lady of the Chen family.

"Oh, why so suddenly? Didn't you celebrate your birthday yesterday? Why are they gone this morning? When the neighbors saw it, they all talked about it.

"Who can tell you what is going on? Lord Yama called away, can others still keep it?

The old lady of the Chen family is eighty-one, it is normal to be at such an old age, how many people in our commune have lived to eighty-one?

This is the filial piety of the younger generations of the Chen family, and the doctor Qiaolian takes care of it, and the old lady has not been sick or sick all these years, which can be regarded as a blessing.

It's a pity, seeing that the Chen family's life is getting better and better, and the children and grandchildren are all complete, the old lady can't look at the fifth generation. ”

Some people also think that it is also a good thing that the old lady of the Chen family left so suddenly.

If you go after being sick for three or five years, you will choke your children and grandchildren and suffer yourself.

For a while, everyone was talking, and those who had dealings with the Chen family and were polite came to condole.

This year, the situation seems to be a little better, and in the countryside again, no one cares about anything anyway, most of the people are sending burning paper, and some are sending curtains and the like.

The Chen family arranged a special person to receive and write the gift account, and then the mourners went inside, came to the front of the spirit to salute, and after the filial son returned the salute, the guest was invited to the side to drink tea.

At this time, there is nothing busy in the field for a long time, and the grain should be threshed, and the buds are not yet dry, and after the threshing is thorough, the grain can be handed over.

The spring disaster is not light, this year after the grain is handed over to the public grain, it is good to have some rations left, where is the surplus grain to make wine?

As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, not to mention, the rations are not enough to eat, you have to hold your stomach tightly, and it is impossible to make vermicelli.

The workshop has not been able to start construction for two years, and it will not be possible this year, and the big guys have lost much hope.

There is no workshop, and most people are idle at this time, and since the Chen family has something to do, many people come to help when they get the news.

Generally speaking, in the countryside, depending on the popularity of the family, it depends on how much help is given during this red and white celebration.

There are six brothers and sisters in the Chen family, except for Chen Minfeng and Qiaoyun, who do not live in Daying, the rest are there.

Zhang Jiaqu's family is very popular, and Chen Minsheng's father and son also have a good relationship with many families, so there are really a lot of people who come to help.

The Chen family raised two pigs in the spring of this year, and now they are not small, and the family organizes funerals, and Chen Minsheng lets people kill a pig.

A pig of more than 200 catties, plus some other food bought from the county, can make up a similar meal to entertain the people who help.

The old lady is so old, a few years ago, Chen Minsheng secretly prepared longevity materials for the old lady, and as for the longevity clothes, the old lady prepared them herself.

Of course, the longevity has not been put together, and no one expected that the old lady could go in such a hurry.

So I hurriedly found a carpenter from the commune to hurry up, put together the longevity materials, and then painted and painted them.

There are various rules and etiquette for funerals in the countryside, and now they are not too particular, so most of the etiquette is omitted.

But even so, there are still a lot of things to do, and the Chen family is very busy.

Jiakang naturally had no way to go back to Donggang, so he called Meilin early in the morning and asked her to settle the child and come over.

After all, she is a granddaughter-in-law, and the old lady was also good to Meilin when she was alive, so she should rush over to see the old lady off for the last time.

Mei Lin answered the phone and immediately arranged for the children to stay at a neighbor's house for a few days, and then rushed over by car.

"Mom, don't be too sad, grandma has made her wish, and she has no nostalgia.

What she wants to do most over the years should be to accompany her grandfather.

If you are too sad and sick, Jia Junjia and them know that it will be difficult to feel at ease. ”

When Mei Lin arrived, she saw Qiao Lian described as haggard, kneeling in front of the spirit and crying, Mei Lin cried for a while, and then whispered to Qiao Lian.

"Linzi, if this were someone else, I would also persuade you like this, I am a doctor myself, and I am used to seeing life and death.

Alas, it's a pity, it's okay to say that everyone else, and wait for your turn to know what it's like.

Your grandma is leaving too quickly and too fast, we are not mentally prepared at all, I am kneeling here and thinking, even if it is to let us serve for a few days and do our best to be filial piety to our daughters. ”

Qiaolian knew that her daughter-in-law was worried about herself, but she couldn't get over the sadness in her heart.

At the beginning, the old lady didn't want to see Qiaolian, and Qiaolian was not very close to her mother, but later the mother and daughter untied the knot, and the more they got along, the better, and the relationship between mother and daughter was very close.

used to live in Shizuizi and work in Daying, and Qiaolian could come over to see the old lady almost every day at noon.

This year, she moved to the county, and she worked in the county again, and she couldn't come back for half a month and 20 days.

The old lady left so suddenly, Qiao Lian felt very uncomfortable, she couldn't do her filial piety in front of her mother, and she felt very guilty.
