Chen Laixiang's mourning hall is located in the sixth hall of the funeral parlor, on the wall opposite the door, the black cloth hanging horizontally reads "Ms. Chen Laixiang's mourning hall", and the black cloth hanging vertically on the left and right sides reads "The high wind spreads thousands of miles, and the bright festival shines on the descendants". (Yang Qianfeng originally wrote a couplet by himself, but because the County Women's Federation needed video materials to publicize Chen Laixiang's deeds, it was changed to this).

On the spiritual table in the center of the couplet, there is a portrait of Chen Laixiang, and she looks at everyone who comes in with a smile. On either side of the statue is a flower basket presented to her mother by her daughter Xiangyi, and in front of the table there is a large ceramic brazier for people to burn paper for worship.

Behind the mourning table, Yang Qianfeng made a wreath for Chen Laixiang, and the left and right sides were placed the wreaths sent by the Public Security Bureau, the County Women's Federation, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Self-employed Workers Association, the Civil Affairs Bureau and other units.

It can be seen from the number of wreaths in the mourning hall that in the past few days of the mourning, there is an endless stream of people coming every day.

Although Yang Qianfeng was very tired, he wanted to do a good job of his beloved wife's funeral, due to exhaustion, he was often in a trance, worried that things would be messed up, so he let Lan Mei take full responsibility, and said a few in principle: 1. The scope of the funeral: Yang Chen's family and main relatives, Chen Laixiang's good classmates and good friends before his death; 2. No gift money will be accepted; 3. The whole funeral should not only be lively (because Chen Laixiang likes to be lively) but also meet the requirements of changing customs and being diligent and thrifty (not that Yang Qianfeng is reluctant to spend money, because the government has a call, of course he must take the lead in implementation); Fourth, a short memorial service was held in a small area before the cremation (which is also Xiangyi's wish).

Although Lan Mei has never done this, she quickly stepped into the role after receiving the task, and through this incident, she also showed her leadership and organizational skills.

After receiving the task, she was busy but not chaotic, and immediately divided the work tasks: first, a set of teams were organized to receive (including people to eat) and return gifts in the mourning hall. At the same time, the task was refined: let Yang Quanfeng take care of the relatives and friends who were in charge of the Yang family; Chen Erxiang is in charge of relatives and friends on the Chen family's side; Huang Xiaofang is responsible for teachers and classmates; Li Xiaoli is responsible for Yang Qianfeng's colleagues and related units; The eldest brother Yang Yongfeng is responsible for all the things to be done for the burial in Baiguo Village (the Celestial Empire is carrying out funeral reform, although Jinshui County is a mountainous county, but it has also been included in the cremation area, because the current cemetery and other infrastructure have not kept up, and people's ancestors have been buried for generations, so they have not completely figured out the cremation, and the ideology cannot be changed for a while, therefore, at the beginning of the funeral reform, many people in the county were secretly buried by relatives after their deaths. Coupled with government subsidies, although the vast majority of people agreed to be cremated, they still took the ashes back for burial after cremation. The purpose of cremation is to change customs and save resources such as land and timber, because the current cemetery and other follow-up work cannot keep up, the management has to acquiesce to the cremation of the body and let the relatives take the urn back for burial, but the coffin is not allowed. Although the contradictions and conflicts have been alleviated, and people's thinking has been further advanced, the real purpose and policy requirements of cremation have not yet been achieved. The current situation in Jinshui County is like this, so Yang Qianfeng has to do this......

Because of the clear division of labor, each with its own duties, and interconnected, and cooperating with each other, all things are arranged in an orderly manner.

It's just that what Lan Mei didn't expect was that Chen Laixiang's sudden departure spread in Jinshui County, and many colleagues, classmates, friends and people who helped Chen Laixiang came after knowing about it. Since she did not accept gift money, Lan Mei did not have a psychological burden and received them one by one.

Before the cremation, Lan Mei arranged it like this: the memorial service was presided over by her, she gave a speech according to Xiangyi's wishes, bowed three times to Chen Laixiang's portrait, and then went to the body storage hall to say her final goodbye to her body.

Yang Qianfeng was very satisfied with Lan Mei's arrangement.

The memorial service was scheduled for seven o'clock in the morning, what Yang Qianfeng didn't expect was that Ouyang Lamei, who had not shown up, suddenly came to the No. 6 hall in advance, and as soon as she entered the hall, she burst into tears, only nodded to Yang Qianfeng and went to burn paper for Chen Laixiang without saying anything, and then kowtowed three times, Xiangyi, whose eyes were already crying and swollen, sensibly helped her up, and she pulled Xiangyi to the side and hugged her tightly in her arms, her eyes kept looking at Chen Laixiang's remains, and at this time Xiangyi had an indescribable and incomprehensible emotion in her heart. But when she thought of her mother's words, she still meekly stuck to her.

Before seven o'clock, all the people came, in addition to the expected relatives, friends, teachers, classmates, colleagues, supermarket staff representatives and county women's federation staff, I didn't expect all the rest workers in the supermarket, all the individual businesses in the clothing market came, especially moved Yang Qianfeng is that Xu Erfu chartered a car and brought the old handicraftsmen in Baiguo Village, in addition to the hall full of people, many people are standing outside the hall.

In order to make the memorial service better, Lan Mei made full preparations and specially moved a set of audio equipment.

At seven o'clock, Lan Mei took the microphone to officially announce the start of the ceremony. After she said a brief opening remark, she handed the microphone to the protagonist Xiangyi.

Xiangyi looked up at Yang Qianfeng and then at Ouyang Lamei, and they all cast trusting glances at her.

Xiangyi wiped her tears, calmed her mood, took the microphone, and then a voice that was much more mature than her age came from the stereo:

Dear leaders, elders, relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates,

The green mountains are speechless, the sky is crying, the voice is there, and the mother is eternal

Today, it is with a very heavy heart that I mourn the death of my dear mother due to illness and to bid her last farewell.

My mother had pancreatic cancer, which was diagnosed as an advanced stage, and although my father found the best doctor, the relentless cancer cells still destroyed my mother's physical function, and her condition worsened, and she passed away at the age of 41 after ineffective treatment.

Facing my mother who went away with a smile, it was really like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, five thunderbolts, my head was blank, there was no reason, there was no hope, let me call for a thousand times, she still left, I don't believe it, so smiling peacefully, my body still has body temperature, I just talked to me, why can't I talk all of a sudden? Why can't you catch your breath? How I wish none of this was true, it was just that my mother was just joking with me, and my mother was really gone, I was really unwilling, Mom, you have only walked a short life journey of forty-one years and left in such a hurry, it is too late for me to say a few more words to you, and I have no time to hug and close my eyes forever. How I wish you woke up, even if you took a look at me that you cared for and cared for all your life, and told me that you didn't want to go, didn't want to leave me and me like this, and didn't want to leave me and my father alone. The hateful and merciless illness has never opened your eyes again, and your soul has since disappeared in the grief of your daughter and father.

Although my mother's life is short, it is ordinary and great, my mother is an ordinary self-employed person, looking back on my mother's life, I am positioned like this:

My mom is a cheerful and optimistic mom. In my memory, whether it was good or bad, she was always cheerful and optimistic. This time she was so sick, when she knew what kind of illness she had, she quickly adjusted her mentality, faced it optimistically, and comforted me and my father in turn, until she left, she was smiling.

My mother is a persistent mother who will never give up until she achieves her goal. In order to get true love, she worked hard for ten years, and insisted on her waiting by escaping from marriage, and finally got my father's love, although I don't understand love, and I don't have that kind of experience, but I have read a lot of books, I think, the love story between her and her father is more touching than "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"; At the same time, in order to live, my mother went from the countryside to the city alone, and with the help of classmates and friends, coupled with my mother's diligence and talent, she soon had achievements and became the first female 10,000 yuan household in Jinshui County. In order to allow me to receive a better education, she had to move towards a higher goal, with the joint efforts of my parents, my mother and Aunt Lanmei jointly opened the Xiangmei supermarket, and after earning money, I was sent to the best school in the province to study, my mother's dedication to love and career made me admire and moved.

My mom is a brave mom. I once faced the steel knife of the criminals, and used my body to protect the policemen who were fighting with the criminals, although this policeman was later my father, but I don't think it was my father at the time, my mother would do the same, and my parents were not in love at that time. Her behavior made me worship.

My mom is a helpful mom. I'm ashamed to say that my mother's helpful deeds I learned in the newspaper after she fell ill. I didn't expect my mother, who was so busy all day long, to still silently do good deeds: supporting my father's parents who sacrificed their comrades-in-arms, supporting workers in difficulty, and helping people in my hometown to make a fortune. Mom! You have done so many good things and never said anything, even I have never said it, and you have always kept a low profile. When my classmates and teachers found out about it and asked me, because I had read the newspaper like them, I felt ashamed when they wanted to learn more about it from me.

My mom is a law-abiding mom. She has always been thin and undeceived in business, and takes the initiative to pay taxes in accordance with the law, and is one of the major taxpayers in the county.

My mother is a good daughter-in-law of my grandparents and a good daughter of my grandparents.

My mom is a good wife to my dad and a good mom to me. Hundred years of cultivation to sleep together, her love for her father I really can't describe in words, my mother often said that my father is her sky, her earth, is her life, more than ten years like a day, my mother always takes care of my father and me. At the same time, my mother loves to be clean, and the windows at home are always clean and spotless, and all things are placed in an orderly manner at a glance, so that my father and I always feel that the home is so warm, and she herself is tired and tired, and she is always happy. Mom! Seeing that you are always so loving, I am really happy, so happy.

Mom! You can't say enough, in short, you have taught me a lot of principles of life with your actions, you have used your life's energy and hard work to create our happy family, leaving me with endless spiritual wealth for a lifetime, for me you broke my heart, for my future, you and my father gave me the best learning environment and learning conditions, you and my father will always be the pride of my daughter.

Looking back, I burst into tears, and it is difficult to express my longing in a thousand words. Now just when I want to study hard to repay your nurturing kindness and make you proud of me, you are driving west, and my daughter is really sorry.

Life is like the splendor of spring flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves. Dear mother, it is your body that has been lost by illness, and it is your eternal soul that has been sublimated! As the couplet in your mourning hall said, your life is 'high wind spreads thousands of miles, and the bright festival shines on future generations'. If the sky has eyes and the next life has fate, I will be your princess in the next life!

There is only a mother in the world, and a child without a mother is like a grass, mother, you just left me and my father and left, and walked far, ......far away, from now on, I will never get your selfless maternal love, no longer see your beautiful and beautiful smiling face, no longer hold your warm hand.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to be filial and the relatives are not there, and the unfilial daughter has not had time to honor you, you have finished this life in a hurry, which is my biggest regret.

Mom, you will never hear from you, you must know that your daughter misses you, if you are lonely, you will become a star in the sky, I will know that it is a tear that you miss us, and I will warm the star of tears in my heart.

Mom, you can go in peace! I know that you are most at ease with your father and me, you can rest assured, I will listen to you and be a good daughter of you and my father. Take care of yourself and take care of the people you care about with your dad.

Rest in peace! Mom, may you be well in the realm of the underworld!

Xiangyi finished reading the eulogy she wrote with her heart in tears, and in the process, there was a lot of sobbing in the mourning hall, and everyone burst into tears............

In the sound of mourning music, everyone consciously lined up to the farewell hall of the body and said their final goodbye to Chen Laixiang's body.

After the cremation, Yang Qianfeng and all his family members sent Chen Laixiang's urn to Baiguo Village and put it in the new grave.
