As the saying goes, "no profit can't afford to be early", the champion brother is my cousin, and his father and my grandfather are brothers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But when the uncle carefully put his grandfather's remains into a black lacquered coffin, he put them together.

Brother Champion introduced: "Brother Manchu, this is the best cypress longevity material in my store, and it is the lowest price for you." ”

After hearing this, I despised him a little, and even made money from my uncle's coffin, and he was too greedy for money!

Finally, my uncle took out a string of bells from the woven bag and put them on the table, but did not put them in the coffin, and I couldn't help but look at the bells, the bronze bells were already covered with patina, and they were originally placed in my grandfather's mouth.

Nail the lid of the coffin, and my heart relaxed.

However, before dark, it was necessary to move his grandfather's coffin into the new grave, and the champion brother took out a set of funeral supplies like a trick and put it on his uncle's tricycle.

According to the custom, firecrackers should be set off before moving graves, but it is not appropriate to make a big show.

We were all dressed in linen and filial piety, except for the old mason, who rode the big motorcycle of the champion brother in front of him, and was able to grab paper money from his shoulder pocket and throw it at the same time.

Brother Zhenmin and I needed to hold on to the coffin so as not to disturb the deceased on the bumpy mountain road.

The tricycle stopped on the mountain road, and my uncle asked me to go to the new grave first, and they began to unload the coffin.

The entrance of the tomb is open, but there is one more person next to it, I am busy looking at this person, only to see that this is a thin old Taoist priest, wearing a gray-brown gossip robe, with a handful of goatee, a pair of small eyes are particularly attentive, a wave of the dust in his hand, and his mouth said: "This cave is a treasure of feng shui, which can turn all the ghosts and ghosts." The deceased are buried here, and their descendants will be blessed. ”

I've only seen Taoist priests on TV and in movies, but this is the first time I've seen a real Taoist priest, so I'm a little curious.

When the old Taoist priest saw me, he asked, "Who are you who is the deceased?" ”

I replied truthfully, "It's my grandfather, what do you call me?" ”

The old Taoist priest stroked his goatee and replied: "Poor Dao is just a traveling Taoist person, your grandfather is not good to you, but your grandmother is very good to you, but it is a pity that she is about to meet your grandfather." ”

I got a little angry when I heard this, isn't this cursing my grandmother? He ignored him anymore, and the Taoist priest didn't think so, and dropped a sentence: "The coffin is a treasure in the world, three long and two short are indispensable, the head is blessed with a pillow and dreams, and the feet are long and high." Regardless of whether you are evil or good in life, you will commit to ・・・・・・・ after death."

Before he finished speaking, the Taoist priest floated away and walked down into the persimmon tree ditch.

When I saw that the tomb was safe and sound, I returned to the tricycle, holding on to the hemp rope, leading the way, and the four of them carried the coffin, which was not heavy, at most two hundred pounds, and they carried it purely on their shoulders, and when they reached the entrance of the tomb, they needed to bend their knees to enter.

There is not much space in the tomb, but it is enough for two coffins.

They put my grandfather's coffin in the tomb and went out to smoke and rest, and the old mason ordered me to take the offerings out of the cardboard box, set off firecrackers, and then the family members kowtowed and began to fill the grave with earth.

This is all hard work, I just shoveled the soil with a shovel, I was tired enough, after the grave got up, my uncle pulled me to kowtow to my grandfather's grave again, it was almost dark again, Brother Zhenmin drove, and we rushed to Huimeng Town.

I didn't eat much for dinner, I still went to feed my grandmother, and today she didn't say much to me, but said to me: "There are still some discarded items in the old house, you can take them if you like them, otherwise your uncle will sell them as scrap, it's a pity!" ”

I casually agreed, and my grandmother drank a bowl of soup, ate a piece of steamed bun, and went back to sleep.

After washing my feet, I lay down on my cousin's bed, secretly glad that I didn't have to sleep in the coffin. When my grandfather passed away, my mother took me to the vigil, and saw the dark coffin and a room full of paper products, which left a deep scar on my young heart, and I still have some rejection of paper products.

The old Taoist priest during the day was really strange, I didn't listen to everything he said at the end, but I hated him for cursing my grandmother, but I liked him saying that my grandfather was buried there, and the children and grandchildren would be blessed.

When I woke up, after breakfast, my uncle gave me the key to the old house and explained, "Your uncle and I are the ones we say, take whatever you like, otherwise I will dispose of them as waste." ”

I was a little embarrassed, but Brother Zhenmin said: "Even if you take it, what is it polite for your nephew to come to your uncle's house!" ”

Grandma's old house is not in the town, but on the slope of Baiyaling outside the town, and now there is no one living there. Brother Zhenmin took me with him on a motorcycle.

The dilapidated house was particularly desolate in the autumn wind, two elm doors were crumbling, and a three-ring lock was embroidered, but Brother Zhenmin dripped some gasoline into the keyhole, and the lock was opened.

The yard was also full of artemisia grass, the old apple trees had died, the wings were dilapidated, and the houses were filled with unused farm tools, and the hall was even more dilapidated, with clay jars, bosses, old washbasin shelves, and a wardrobe, on which the mercury mirrors were covered with dust.

When I wiped the dust off it, it revealed a young me.

In the mirror, my eye sockets are black, probably because I am tired and stay up late. The wardrobe was stuffed with shabby clothes, and Brother Zhenmin pulled out all the clothes, and I saw the marriage certificate of my grandfather and grandmother, which was the first batch of marriage certificates that were reissued when New China was just founded.

There is no photo of my grandfather and grandmother on the marriage certificate, only the name, I now know that my grandfather's name is Xue Changsong, then his eldest brother should be called Xue Changqing, and my grandmother's name is Gao Sanniang.

My grandfather may only have two brothers, but my grandmother's family is prosperous, and I have several uncles, one of whom has gone to the provincial capital, but has never been in contact with my parents.

At the bottom of the wardrobe, there is an old yellowed peace charm, the style is very earthy, embroidered into the shape of ingots, Brother Zhenmin likes it very much, so he took it. I found a sachet at the bottom of the board, which is the sachet sewn for the Dragon Boat Festival, the wormwood in it has long been rotten, but there is still a trace of aroma in the realgar, I keep it.

In the dilapidated cupboard, I also saw half a white porcelain bowl, on which were the old models, and the words "Ru kiln" and "Ming Chenghua" were still there.

If this porcelain bowl is complete, it should be considered an antique, but unfortunately it is broken and not worth a penny.

On the earthen wall under the eaves of the main hall, I saw a rusty broken knife, which should be the quick knife that my grandfather picked up from Luo Ning's knife master, but compared to Brother Zhenmin's woodcutter, it was simply unsightly.

A dilapidated mansion full of waste, Brother Zhenmin and I picked up all morning, and we didn't pick out a few good things, so we gave up.

At noon, I went back to my uncle's house in the town for dinner, and I returned my grandfather's marriage certificate to my uncle, who was dismissive of it.

After lunch, I went straight back to Luoyang City in the passenger car, changed to a bus and returned to my accommodation, washed my clothes, and continued to work the next day.

Dr. Min was a little surprised when he saw me coming back, and nurse Xiao Tang also asked: "You haven't slept for a few days, and your eye circles are black!" ”

I was busy and casually responded, she wore a little light makeup, she looked very delicate, only two or three years older than me, but she was already engaged.

After getting off work, I planned to take another look at Lao Ma, so I came to the inpatient department, took the elevator to the orthopedic ward, and my sister Huang Fei was also ready to get off work, she had already changed into a beige tweed coat, stepped on the bag, and was surprised when she saw me coming: "Are you here to invite me to dinner?" ”

Now that I have money in my pocket, my heart is not empty, so I said, "As long as it doesn't affect the relationship between my senior sister and your boyfriend, I can invite my senior sister to dinner." ”

Huang Fei responded: "How come? You invite me today, next time I'll ask my boyfriend to invite you, and your girlfriend together! ”
