162.Chapter 162
Boss Yu stared at me for a long time, slowly spoke, and said, "If my three wives continue to stay in Dongxing Town, will it affect the funeral?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "According to the custom on our side, there may be problems!" After all, having a husband and four wives is not in line with etiquette. And the funeral attaches importance to the word 'ceremony'. Just in case, I hope that Boss Yu will ask the three noble ladies not to appear in Dongxing Town during the funeral. Of course, this is just one of my opinions, and the decision is yours. ”
"Okay, I'll think about it!" Boss Yu nodded.
We walked towards the hospital. On the way, the two of us talked about the funeral, and he mentioned that the whole town was hung in white and asked me what my opinion was?
I was silent, even though there were only a hundred households in our town, and we were economically backward compared to other towns. But for such a thing as hanging white, it is still relatively taboo.
Of course, it is not undesirable for each family to give 5,000. On the contrary, I think most people will agree that just hanging a white cloth can make 5,000 yuan, and few people will refuse this kind of good thing. Under the temptation of heavy money, the so-called funeral etiquette seems so pale and weak.
I asked him, "Why do you want to be in vain?" ”
He said: "My mother liked to be lively when she was alive, and I want her old man to go lively, as a child, the funeral should be a special event, after all, this is the last time for my mother in the yang world." ”
I glanced at him in surprise, just because the old man likes to be lively, he spent so much money to hold a funeral for his mother, and this boss Yu is a rare filial son. I nodded and said, "I'll do my best to make this funeral for you." ”
We walked and chatted, and unconsciously walked to the hospital, and just entered the door of the ward, the old man's goddaughter stood aside and chatted, and after seeing us enter, he said hello and continued to chat with himself.
I walked up to the deceased, looked at her, and was very peaceful, so I asked Boss Yu to find the deceased's clothes, ripped off a piece of cloth to make a body towel, and then asked Boss Yu to wipe the deceased's body.
He didn't say anything, he carried a kettle to wipe the body of the deceased on the hospital bed, and wiped it for about thirty minutes, and then changed the deceased's clothes and pants and shoes.
What stranged me was that the shrouds he wore for the deceased were not our shrouds, but the dark blue shrouds, with the sleeves, shoulders, corners, trouser legs, and shoe edges sewn with gold thread.
I asked him a little puzzled why he was wearing this kind of shroud. He said that ordinary shrouds are a little shabby, and wearing shrouds with gold threads makes the old man live better in the underworld.
After listening to his words, I didn't think about it so much, the funeral customs in different places are a little different, maybe the old people in Hong Kong wear this kind of clothes when they die.
After dressing the deceased, Boss Yu completely covered the deceased's body with a bed of gold wool quilt, and then pierced the corners of the gold silk quilt under the deceased.
I was a little stunned to see this process, and I had some doubts in my heart, how did Boss Yu know so much about wiping corpses? The explanation he gave me was that when his father died, he had seen people do this, so he had some experience in this area.
Is that really the case?
This thought flashed through my mind, and without further study, I said to him: "It is night, it is not suitable for burial, temporarily let the old man's body rest in the hospital for one night, and bury it again early tomorrow morning, during which time do not cut off the old man's incense and yellow paper." ”
He nodded and said, "Okay, so what else do we need to do tonight?" ”
"No, just stay next to the old man's body!" After saying that, I said hello to him and left the ward, and I needed a lot of help tomorrow, and I was going to start hiring people.
As I walked towards the outside of the hospital, I took out my mobile phone and was about to make a call, when a beautiful figure appeared in front of me, it was Boss Yu's eldest daughter.
She stretched out her hand and made a handshake gesture and said, "Hello, my name is Yu Qian, and I want to ask you about something." "She has a great voice.
"Hello, Chen Jiu, I don't know what's going on?" I symbolically shook her hand.
"This is not the place to talk, please come with me to the hotel to talk in detail!" With that, she turned and walked towards the outside of the hospital.
I couldn't laugh or cry, but the woman didn't give me a chance to refuse, as if she were ordering me, and in desperation, I followed her footsteps.
When I arrived at the hotel, I thought that I would not have a place to stay at night, so I first opened a room for myself and then went to her room.
The hotel in our town is very basic, to put it bluntly, it is a bed, a few tables and chairs, and a TV. After Yu Qian's careful dressing, the grade of this room is a few points higher, and there is a faint fragrance.
She poured me a cup of coffee, the coffee bag was all in English, I didn't know it, it must be of a high grade.
I took the coffee, sat down in front of the coffee table, and took a sip, it tasted good, worthy of a foreign product, and I couldn't help but glance at the coffee bag.
At this time, she walked across from me, brought a stool, and said straight to the point: "I hope that this funeral, you must do the Dharma with your heart, so that your grandmother and the old man can go with peace of mind, and the second thing is to do it lively, do you understand what I mean?" ”
"What do you mean? Focusing on a smooth funeral? I put down my coffee and asked her suspiciously.
She nodded.
"Is this what Boss Yu means or do you mean?" I asked.
"That's what I mean personally." As she spoke, she stood up and bent over me, "On behalf of my mother and my younger brother, I implore you to make sure that your grandmother's funeral goes smoothly. ”
After hearing her words, I was a little stunned, Boss Yu and others asked to make this funeral lively, but the woman in front of me asked for smoothness, is there anything greasy in this?
Just told her, "The purpose of making the funeral lively is to make the funeral go smoothly, and the two are not in conflict!" ”
"No, it's one thing to go well, it's another thing to be lively, I just want you to give you an accurate sentence, can you do the funeral smoothly, so that your grandmother can finish the last journey in the yang world."
I nodded and said, "Since I have taken over this funeral, I will naturally do my best, and I will be responsible for the deceased and the main family, and you don't need to worry about this." ”
"Hmm!" She bent over me again and said, "Thank you!" ”
I didn't say anything more to her, but walked out of the room, and when I was about to leave the door, I stopped, turned around, and asked her, "I take the liberty of asking, who is your mother and your little brother?" ”
"When you asked for water, the woman who spoke to you was my mother, my younger brother was the youngest, and the other younger siblings were all children of the second, third, and fourth mothers." She replied.
