172.Chapter 172: The Coffin (24)
Lang Gao was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, and said, "Okay, I'll come right away, you remember to ask Boss Yu to call the county leaders." ”
Seeing that Lang Gao agreed to come down, I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was there, I would be much more relaxed after a funeral. There is another very important reason, Gao went to Liu Kai to borrow someone, and Lang Gao, the director of the police station, was there, and those of them were involved in this funeral and didn't dare to mess around. As for the salary of 10,000 yuan, is the funeral cost of 1 million yuan worse than 10,000 yuan?
After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Lang Gao came in civilian clothes, and I stuffed Widow Liu and several women to him, asking them to go out to discuss things, and not to disturb the deceased in the mourning hall.
Subsequently, I discussed with Yu Qian the filial sons and grandsons needed in the funeral, and my request was very simple, Boss Yu could not appear at the funeral, otherwise it would deepen the resentment of the deceased and he would not want to leave the yang world for the funeral.
And filial sons and filial grandsons, I plan to let Yu Qian and her younger brother take the role, because they are the relatives of the deceased Zhenzong, and there will definitely be no problems.
Yu Qian was not very disgusted with this request, but asked her younger brother to serve as a filial grandson, which was quite slight. She said that her brother was only five years old, too young and ignorant, and could not keep up with the physical exertion.
I thought about it for a moment, and her words made sense. However, the issue of filial piety and filial piety must be held by relatives, and must not be allowed to be relatives.
However, the deceased has descendants, and it is not good for the main family to let the godparents be filial sons and grandsons. Although Boss Yu belongs to the category of brutes. However, Yu Qian and her mother are still good, not to mention that her mother gives me a sense of intimacy, we can't kill a family with a stick, right?
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided that while doing the rituals, Yu Qian would hold her brother, and her brother would hold the photo of the deceased and the birth date and other things.
After discussing the issue of filial piety and filial piety, Yu Qian glanced into the coffin and asked me: "Chen Jiu, I heard in Hong Kong that the deceased must close his eyes, isn't it okay for my grandmother to open her eyes like this?" Is there a way to get her eyes closed? ”
"Glue it up." I say.
"Are there any side effects?" She asked.
I shook my head and said, "Probably not, I've done this before, and it won't have any impact on future generations." ”
"Then you glue it up and make Grandmother die blindly!" Her voice was bitter.
I nodded in agreement, and then let the stammerer lift the deceased's head slightly, then took out some glue drops, and pressed the deceased's eyelids down.
I don't know what's going on, I just let go of the deceased's eyes, the deceased's eyes opened again, I thought it was the glue expired, dropped two drops on the fingers, pressed gently, the sticky was very tight, it took a lot of effort to separate the fingers.
Seeing this situation, Yu Qian was startled, squeaked for a long time, and couldn't speak, but stammered and asked me on the side, "Brother Jiu, I can't even stick glue, is the deceased unwilling to leave the yang world?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's put it that way!" There is another possibility, the deceased wants to see his funeral with his own eyes, I hope it is the latter case, if it is the former, this funeral will continue to be strange. Stammering, you are a newcomer, it is better not to mix in this funeral, if you are short of money, I can lend it to you first, and then pay it back to me when you have money. ”
The stammerer shook his head and only said three words, "I'm not afraid!" After saying that, he stood beside me and told me with his actions, his determination.
With a wry smile, he didn't care about him, and said to Yu Qian: "Miss Yu, since the deceased is unwilling to close her eyes, in my opinion, let her open her eyes, if your performance in the funeral satisfies the deceased, maybe the deceased will close his eyes." Whether you can close your eyes or not depends on you, those of us who do funerals can only try to do the etiquette as thoroughly. ”
She nodded slightly, and walked towards the outside of the mourning hall, presumably to bring her brother to the mourning hall.
I was in the mourning hall with the stammer, first tidying up the deceased's appearance, and then straightening the deceased's body in the coffin, I was worried that something would happen again, so I asked the stammer to go to the town to borrow a pig-killing knife and put it on the deceased's chest.
After finishing this, I lit an immortal lamp around the coffin, brought a table of eight immortals and placed it in front of the coffin, on which were placed pictures of three animals, a bamboo tube of glutinous rice, and the deceased, and then the two stammered people covered the coffin lid on the coffin.
The coffin lid was very heavy, weighing about 200 catties, what I didn't expect was that the stammering force was so strong that one person could carry 200 catties. In his words, he has infinite strength since he was a child, especially the strength in his arms, which is comparable to that of the unicorn, and it is his words that give him an extra nickname, unicorn arm.
After getting the lid of the coffin, I found a piece of white paper to cover the deceased's face, I was afraid that the previous situation would happen again, and I deliberately poured some glue on the white paper, but fortunately, this time the white paper lay quietly on the deceased's face and did not slip off.
It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, although this was the most solemn funeral in the history of our town. However, due to the New Year's holiday, not many people came to watch.
Seeing that the mourning hall was a little deserted, and the band didn't come so early, I found a DVD and a speaker, and asked the stammerer to tie the horn to the right side of the door of the mourning hall, I originally planned to play mourning music, considering that it was the New Year's Day, it was not good to spoil the atmosphere of the New Year in the town, so I put a particularly popular disco disc in the DVD, and the energetic music spread out with the speaker, filling the mourning hall around, making the originally deserted mourning hall lively in an instant.
After doing these things, we were idle, so we sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals and talked about the life experience of the stammer.
He told me that he was the only child in the family, and when he was a child, he spoke like a normal person, and he had a high fever at the age of six, and because of money reasons, he was not sent to the hospital in time for treatment, and he became a stammer. The hospital's explanation was that the high fever burned out the body's articulatory organs.
Because of his stammering, he was often bullied when he was studying, and he dropped out of school before graduating from primary school to help his parents herd cattle and fish grass at home. When he was 14 years old, his parents asked him to take him south to Guangzhou to move bricks at the construction site, and he worked hard to move bricks for a year, but the construction site was suspended, and the boss ran away overnight.
The man who took him south to Guangzhou blamed him entirely on him, saying that he was a broom star, and that was his reason that the construction site would be stopped and wages would not be paid.
Later, he went south to Guangzhou alone several times, entered the factory, swept the floor, and rubbed people's backs in the bathhouse. Every time the boss either runs away or the factory closes down, the most cheating is when he is a sanitation worker, the foreman is corrupt, he was arrested and squatted in the police station for half a month, the reason is that he is in the same stream as the foreman, Made, he doesn't even know who the foreman is, so he squatted for half a month.
Later, he was deeply disappointed when he went south to Guangzhou, so he stayed at home, and when he built a new house in the countryside, he would help people pick some bricks to earn living expenses, until his mother suffered from liver ascites and needed a lot of money to treat, and he began to look for work everywhere, and he ran into walls everywhere, and no one was willing to invite him, so he met me.
