Chapter 175: Liu Zhang's Death
"Aunt Jin, my family agrees to this marriage, my family is in charge, this is my third sister's eight characters, you take it back and join Wang Hu." Liu Yiyu smiled, took out a stack of red paper, and handed it to Mrs. Jin.
However, when the golden matchmaker saw that she said that Huzi and the third sister of the Liu family were matchmakers, the Liu family agreed, and after handing the eight characters of the third sister of the Liu family to herself at this moment, the golden matchmaker was stunned, this matter does not seem to have developed like this.
After the matchmaker agrees to the marriage, three days later, the man asks the woman's name and date of birth.
After Mrs. Jin couldn't react, she subconsciously took the red paper handed over by the eldest sister of the Liu family.
However, after the golden matchmaker reacted, the golden matchmaker said a few happy words in her mouth and left.
It's just that after the golden matchmaker left for a while, outside the door of the Liu family, a woman who looked about forty years old, dressed tackyly, with a heavy rouge gouache on her face, and a chubby figure, held an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, raised her head in her hand, and walked into the courtyard of the Liu family, and shouted in the hall, "Is this Liu Yiyu's house?" ”。
"Yes? This aunt is ......". Liu Yiyu looked at the woman's appearance, there is no doubt that she is a matchmaker, and she should be the matchmaker invited by the Zhang family to say goodbye.
"What about happy events? The aunt is the ....... of the town". That woman was really a matchmaker invited by Zhang's shopkeeper's family, and she proposed marriage to her own Zhang Xin.
Liu Yiyu had already told Liu Li about these things, Liu Li did not agree in one breath, and pretended to hesitate on his face.
After Liu Li saw that it was almost the same, he nodded and came down, and then, Liu Yiyu handed over the second sister's birthday.
After the second day, after the golden matchmaker and the Zhu matchmaker invited by the Zhang family in the town finished the birthday of both men and women, they asked for good luck, and the two matchmakers gave a thin salute to each other and settled down.
It's just that the matter of asking the name generally, as long as both parties agree, it will be a good omen, as the saying goes: it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage.
As for Bo Li, Huzi's family has a silver hairpin weighing one or two, two pieces of coarse cloth, two pieces of fine cloth, and two pieces of cotton cloth, ten catties of sugar, six chickens, ducks and fish, one pig, and three taels of silver.
The Zhang family's thin gift is a pair of silver earrings weighing five coins, a silver hairpin weighing two or two, a jade bracelet, four pieces of muslin, silk cloth, and brocade cloth, ten chickens, ducks and fish, two pigs, and ten taels of silver.
After Liu Li finished looking at this thin gift, he handed it to Liu Yiyu, Liu Yiyu looked at them one by one, and then nodded at Liu Li, and Liu Li said that he had no opinion on the matchmaker invited by the two parties.
After the man's matchmaker greeted him for a while, they each said goodbye and left, and went to the man's house to reply to the letter.
On the third day, the matchmakers of the two men sent what was written on the thin gift yesterday, officially signing the gift of the alliance. Today, it is called 'Dading'.
At this time, after the dowry was sent to the Liu family, the villagers of Shangou Village knew that the second and third sisters of the Liu family had already decided to be married.
In particular, the second sister's family affair is a family in the town, and looking at the dowry is excellent in terms of quantity and quality, some short-eyed women, and the Liu family who speak sour words.
It's just that every family in Shangou Village has a son and daughter, which is a good thing to say that it is a good thing, although the heart is sour, it is also a sentence or two on the lips, and it is not unpleasant, and the Liu family does not care, and they can't manage it if they want to.
After the dowry came down, the two parties had already decided on a family affair, and both parties tacitly agreed that they did not mention the date of marriage.
"Madame, eldest lady, where is the old lady ........" At this time, Aunt Zhang hurried from the main house where Grandma lived. Before Aunt Zhang finished speaking, the Liu family quickly ran towards the main house of the Liu Zhang family.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you". Liu Yiyu squatted in front of Liu Zhang's and asked sadly.
"Big sister, is Grandma okay? On the contrary, it was grandma who knocked out a mouthful of blood, and her heart was much more comfortable, eldest sister, have your marriages been decided? ”。 Liu Zhang waved his hand at Liu Yiyu, and asked Liu Yiyu with spirit.
"Grandma, and the eldest sister ......."
"It's done, it's all done, grandma, you can rest assured!". The fourth sister was about to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Yiyu.
"It's good to be done, it's good to be done, I didn't delay your sisters, grandma is down-to-earth, and she's not a sinner, I should go to your grandfather, and ........." After Liu Zhang's heard that the things he was concerned about were done, the big stone in his heart moved away, and suddenly, after not supporting the faith, Liu Zhang's face gradually turned gray, his voice gradually became inaudible, and after his hand was loosened and his head was tilted, he was out of breath.
"Mother". "Grandma". After the Liu family saw Liu Zhang's like this, they didn't understand anything, and suddenly they all cried loudly one by one.
One by one, they cried miserably and miserably.
"Aunt Lao Zhang and Aunt Zhou take care of my grandma?" After Liu Yiyu looked at Liu Zhang's peaceful face, he endured the heartache and said to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhou on the side.
The two of them had already prepared their things, cut their hair, cleaned their faces, washed their feet, put on shrouds, and smeared some rouge on their faces.
The fifth brother, Liu Yihao, hung up a white flag at the gate of his house, the man on the left, the woman on the right, the man on the left, and the woman on the right. One look at the banner and you will know whether the man or the woman is dead.
After that, Liu Yiyu called the eldest girl, the second girl and Zhou Wenwu to go to the Wang family, the Zhang family, the Huzi family, and the Li Zheng family, who were good friends with him, and his grandmother passed away.
Not long after the white flags of the Liu family were hung up, the villagers living at the end of the village already knew that Liu Zhang's family had passed away, and several of their families brought pots and pans, stools and other things to the Liu family to help.
Regardless of whether there is an old man in the village, the people in the village will spontaneously bring things to help, even if they have a bad relationship before, they will also put down the mustard.
After a while, the people in the village knew that the Liu family and the Liu Zhang family had passed away, and they came to the Liu family one by one to help.
Killing pigs and chickens, arranging the mourning hall, and everyone was busy.
Several sisters and brothers of the Liu family wear oblique filial piety hats, and the hats are bound to hemp, which is called "wearing linen and wearing filial piety".
The funeral was suspended for three days, and the funeral was released after three days.
On the day of the funeral, it rained a piece of snowflakes, and after a while, it was covered in silver.
Everyone in the Liu family cried so much that they were not sad.
Liu Yiyu looked at the puff of soil, buried in the coffin, and a person fell asleep forever, leaving himself and his relatives.
Heaven and man are separated forever.
When people die, the living people have to continue to live, and everyone in the Liu family is immersed in the grief of Liu Zhang's death.
The sisters and brothers of the Liu family have to give Liu Zhang's filial piety for another three years.
After the second funeral, the fifth brother and the seventh brother also went to the town and the school to study as usual, and the sisters of the Liu family also cheered up and arranged the main house where Liu Zhang's lived in front of him, and later gave the fifth brother to live in the main house in the front yard and the seventh brother to live in one room each.
