After listening to the stammer's life experience, I had another evaluation of him, this person was very unlucky, so I asked him why he thought of being a coffin bearer with me.

He said: "In the past, the tombstone shop in the town recruited people, and I went to apply for a job, and the boss told me that I couldn't make money from the living in my life, but only from the dead, so I thought of carrying the coffin." ”

"Oh? Did Jiang Ye tell you? I asked.

He nodded and said, "I heard that the boss seems to be surnamed Jiang, but I didn't expect him to be right, that person is really a living immortal." ”

"Yes, Jiang Ye is a living immortal!" I sighed.

Afterwards, the two of us chatted for a while, until at 10 o'clock, Widow Liu brought two servings of noodles, and I and I hurriedly ate some in the mourning hall to satisfy our hunger, and those people hated the smell of the mourning hall, so they ate some on the road not far from the mourning hall.

After breakfast, Lang Gao took Widow Liu and others to the county to purchase things needed for the funeral, went to more than a dozen, and called three trucks to pull things.

The first day of the funeral was not particularly lively, but it was also the most leisurely day, during which my stammering and I kept guarding the coffin in the mourning hall.

Until 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Qian came with her younger brother, with some white linen wrapped on his head, and her younger brother seemed to be very scared when he walked into the mourning hall for the first time, and a pair of eyes kept looking at the mourning hall, shrinking his neck from time to time.

I gave him three pillars of incense, made three gestures to the deceased, and then put the incense on the glutinous rice, and then sat them down beside us, and let them keep a vigil for the deceased.

The purpose of the wake-up is to watch the incense and immortal lamps in the mourning hall, and don't let them go out, because I have nothing to do on the first day of the funeral, and a few of us chatted.

Through Yu Qian's introduction, I know that her brother's name is Yu Jianhao, and the deceased usually loves him the most, and he is simply spoiled like a liver baby.

When talking about the deceased's best treatment of Yu Jianhao, the little boy raised an objection, saying: "Grandma is not the best person for me, and the fourth mother is the best person for me." ”

I asked him why, and he said, "One time my parents, my brothers and sisters went out, and I was left with my fourth mother, and my fourth mother found an uncle to come to our house, and my uncle and my fourth mother bought a lot of toys for me. Later, whenever that uncle came to our house, they would buy me a toy, and now I have 300 toys, all of which were bought by my fourth mother and uncle, and my grandmother was so stingy that she bought me a few toys. ”

As soon as the little boy's words fell, I saw Yu Qian's face, and it turned red as soon as 'swish', and then quickly covered the little boy's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

The little boy broke free of Yu Qian's hand and said angrily: "I didn't talk nonsense, the second mother and the third mother are good to me, as long as they bring my uncle home, they will take me to eat delicious food, the third mother once took two uncles home, and took me to the beach to play the next day!" ”

"Yu Jianhao, if you talk nonsense, my sister won't want you!" Yu Qian said angrily.

"Sister, I really didn't talk nonsense, the dress on my body was bought for me by my third mother!" The little boy said with a childlike face.

Hearing this, I almost laughed, and my face was flushed with stammering on the side, I was afraid of offending Yu Qian if I wanted to laugh, and I was uncomfortable if I didn't laugh, and I was holding back internal injuries when I saw it, but at this time, the goddaughters of the deceased came to the mourning hall, they looked very flustered, hesitated at the door of the mourning hall for a long time, and did not dare to come in.

I stood up, took a few deep breaths, waved away the inappropriate images in my mind, and said to them, "Since you're here, come in!" The dead will bless you. ”

They were stunned for a moment, and one of them, a fatter and older middle-aged man, asked me in a trembling voice, "Is the Ma dead?" ”

I nodded, stretched out my finger to the coffin, and said, "If you want incense, come in, if you don't want to incense, please leave, don't disturb the deceased." ”

"Well... Good... Okay, I... Come in and incense! When the man said this, he was sweating profusely, and from time to time he took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

"This person is my grandmother's eldest godson, named Dai Chujun." Yu Qian whispered to me on the side.

I said 'um', lit the three pillars of incense, took out some yellow paper and handed it to Dai Chujun, and shouted towards the coffin, "Mrs. Liu, today there is your godson Dai Chujun, who will present you with three pillars of fragrance and eight pieces of yellow paper, I hope that your old spirit in the sky will bless Dai Chujun's family with peace and security, wealth and health." ”

That Dai Chujun knelt in front of the table of the Eight Immortals and burned the yellow paper, inserted the fragrance on the glutinous rice, and then took out a red envelope for me, saying, "A little care, I hope you will do a good job of the funeral." ”

I took the red envelope and pinched it, it was quite thick, there should be a thousand yuan, handed the red envelope to the stammer, and said some auspicious words to Dai Chujun.

Like this kind of rich people's funeral, to be honest, red envelopes can be received softly, especially for funerals in the first month, the red envelopes are many and heavy, and sometimes a funeral comes down, and the red envelopes alone can collect tens of thousands of yuan.

Subsequently, the deceased's goddaughters came in one by one to offer incense, burned yellow paper, and everyone would hand me a red envelope, the largest one had 1,200 yuan, and the least one red envelope also had 600 yuan, and the deceased had a total of nine goddaughters, just a simple incense, and I received nearly 6,000 yuan in red envelopes.

Of course, this is the funeral of the rich, plus the New Year, the red envelope will be so heavy, if it is placed in ordinary people's homes, there is no red envelope in this link, even if there is some atmosphere of the main family, at most it is a red envelope of 24 yuan.

After the deceased's goddaughter finished the incense, Dai Chujun came over and said something in Yu Qian's ear, Yu Qian looked at him incredulously and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Hmmm! Ganma told me before her death that she had a relative in Dongxing Town, and she would call that person on weekdays. Now that Ganma is dead, you should go and hang your filial piety, otherwise, Ganma may blame you. Dai Chujun said with a solemn face. (Condolences: to inform relatives of the death of the deceased and let them come to the funeral)

"Uncle Dai, do you know what the man's name is? Where do you live? Yu Qian hurriedly asked.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know, Ganma didn't say the name of the person, just said that the person worked in a tombstone shop in Dongxing Town, and this Dongxing Town is not big, you go and inquire, you should be able to find that person." ”

"Good!" Yu Qian responded, and prepared to walk towards the outside of the mourning hall.

I hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Yu, the person you are talking about is my friend, I don't know what his specific name is, but I know that his name is Ah Da and he works in the tombstone shop in our town." If you really plan to go to his filial piety, you must find out Ah Da's real name and his relationship with your family, otherwise this filial piety is not easy to write, and it will ruin etiquette. ”

"Since he's your friend, wouldn't it be clear if you called him and asked him? Where else do we need to investigate? Yu Qian asked suspiciously.
