That being said, I still didn't get to class properly that day, and my mind was full of thoughts about going back to see how things were going at Grandpa Liu's house.

Nobita also didn't have a good class for a day, and the commotion on this thing directly led him to become a joke in the class, and even the teacher frowned and looked around during class.

Every child in the class except me didn't have to look at him strangely, and his cute girl at the same table directly covered her nose and gave him most of the table, and she didn't even have to draw the dividing line.

But I have to admire Nobita's thick skin, this guy is like no one, the old god is sitting there, he doesn't go out to play after class, he shrinks in class, and he doesn't pull me out until the end of school.

I wanted to keep a certain distance from him to ensure my innocence, but this guy was like a lepi worm, grabbing my arm and not letting go.

After school, I had almost the same purpose as him, he was going to my house to hide from the imaginary Grandpa Liu, and I was going back to see how my grandfather was doing.

The two children hurriedly got into the car, all the way to their hearts, and after getting out of the car, they went straight to my house.

When he reached the entrance of the village, Nobita stopped and kept his head down in silence.

I looked back and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you go? ”

Nobita hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Grandpa Liu lives next to your house, I, I'm afraid ......"

"Coward!"

I said a word to him, turned around and ran.

It's all at the doorstep, and I don't bother to care about him.

When I ran to the door of my house, I saw two big white flowers hanging on the gate of Grandpa Liu's house, and the yard was wide open, and many people inside and outside were busy with it.

"Grandpa!"

I rushed to my house first and found that the door was locked tightly, and not only was my grandfather not at home, but also my mother.

Where has all this gone?

That's when I heard someone call me, "Xiao Ning." ”

I turned my head, and it was my mother.

She was standing in front of Grandpa Liu's house, waving at me.

I hurriedly ran over, and my mother pulled me aside, shoved the key into my hand and said, "Mom has cooked for you, it's hot in the pot, you can go and eat." Your grandfather Liu went, their family couldn't be busy, and my mother was here to help. ”

It turns out that my mom has been waiting for me here, how long will it take? I can't help but feel warm in my heart.

"Mom, where's my grandfather?"

I stood at the gate of Grandpa Liu's house and looked inside, but I only saw the people in the courtyard, and I didn't see where my grandfather was.

My mother pulled me and said, "Child, don't look at it blindly, your grandfather is going to be the main thing, you go back to eat first, hurry up and do your homework after eating, and then go to sleep, don't come out if you have nothing to do." ”

I was relieved to hear that my grandfather was fine.

I nodded, turned my head and walked back, when my mother stopped me again, gave me two dollars and said, "Mom may not be able to cook breakfast tomorrow morning, you can buy it yourself!" ”

I pinched the two dollars and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom!" ”

"Well, go ahead!"

I saw that my mother waited for me to open the door and enter the courtyard before turning around and walking into Lao Liu's house.

I hurriedly closed the gate, threw away my bag, pulled the ladder from the yard, rolled over to the wall, and climbed up the ladder.

Although our house and Lao Liu's house are only separated by a wall, our house is a brick wall close to two meters high, and theirs is an earthen wall of more than one meter, so from the top of our wall, the situation in their yard is clear at a glance.

From the outside, their house seems to be quite lively, but from my point of view, there are not many people.

According to our rules here, when a person dies, he must notify his relatives, put him in a coffin, and ask a Taoist priest to do things.

The coffin will be left at home for three to seven days, but I don't seem to be stopping for that long when I look at the posture of these people.

Grandpa Liu's family has two sons, the eldest son is called Liu Tai, an honest farmer, married a daughter-in-law, is a well-known door-slamming mother-in-law in the next village, called Xie Meizhi, I call her Aunt Meizhi on weekdays.

The second son is the sick ghost I saw last night, named Liu Quan, the youngest Liu Tai, who is seven years younger and eight years old.

Liu Quan has had a heart attack since he was a child, and because he is small, he is deeply loved by the elderly, so he has developed a pampered problem since he was a child.

Think about how poor the countryside is, the so-called pampering is just to eat and drink first and let him pick it out, and the rest is for his parents and sister-in-law.

That's it, and this Liu Quan has developed a habit of being lazy and lazy, and when he grows up, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and samples, and loses a good family to the point that there is not a single hair left.

Until now, the Liu family has not been able to afford to build a decent house.

Two years ago, this kid was said to play quite big because he was gambling outside, and he lost all his money with a handful of cards, and died of a heart attack.

The debtor found the house and searched the Liu family inside and out, and the Liu family was completely poor to the point where even the mice shed tears when they saw it.

Grandma Liu was also so angry that she collapsed on the bed because of this, and she went not long after.

Fortunately, Aunt Mei Zhi, the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, will live, and the eldest Liu Tai is a hard-working and hard-working person, and with the help of the surrounding neighbors, it has only recovered some vitality in the past two years.

Seeing that the days were getting better day by day, Grandpa Liu suddenly died again, which really made matters worse.

The only Taoist priest in Sheshan Village is my grandfather, Grandpa Liu died in the courtyard, according to the rules, my grandfather will open the way for Grandpa Liu's ghost in the courtyard.

I've seen these things a few times since I was a child, and I'm naturally very familiar with them.

The rich people in the surrounding villages, once there is a white thing in the family, they will usually invite my grandfather first, but anyone with a little money will make a big yarn lamp, and invite ten or eight gentlemen to recite the mantra for a few days.

Mr. is Mr. Yin and Yang, and the older generation is called so, and now the word Mr. is too widely used, so most of them are renamed Mage.

However, my grandfather insisted that people be called sir, saying that it was an old tradition that could not be changed.

Rich families do more things, the dead have to take a bath first, and then put it on the door panel and collapse for a few hours, until the husband is present, and then he can enter the coffin.

The coffin is relatively particular, and the bottom of the coffin should be sprinkled with ashes.

A hundred ashes are stove ashes, and the filial son must go all over the hundred schools to beg for it, and then let the gentleman scatter it into the coffin in a circle.

This process is extremely cumbersome, but it is indispensable, because it is used to absorb corpse water, and many ancient tombs are made of lime for the wall, which is also the reason.

Lime can absorb the water vapor from the outside, and it can also absorb the corpse water inside, and the more you absorb it, the stronger it becomes.

If the corpse water is not sucked away, but is stored in the body, well, then it becomes a zombie.

That being said, none of us had ever seen a zombie, and every time I asked about zombies, my grandfather wouldn't talk to me about them, and I think he should have seen them.

Of course, this is just my guess.

Another advantage of this hundred ashes is that the body can be fixed, so as to avoid the dislocation of the body when the coffin is lifted.

Then at the funeral, there will be a Taoist priest in front of the road to scatter paper money, followed by filial sons and filial daughters crying and mourning, supporting the bar, carrying the coffin, digging a well, and adding a piece of more than a dozen people.

Although Liu Tai is a filial son, but the Liu family is too poor, naturally they can't afford such a grand ceremony, as far as my grandfather is concerned, it is estimated that he also works voluntarily in the face of his neighbors, and taking ten or eight yuan afterwards is considered a formality.

However, Liu Tai still prepared filial piety clothes for Grandpa Liu.

This filial piety clothes are also said, there must be seven layers, the innermost layer must be red clothes as the base, and the outer six layers of shroud are gray, brown, and black.

It is rumored that after a person dies, he will be interrogated by the ghost after crossing the Nai He Bridge, and those who have done bad things in the yang world will be subjected to the pain of skinning, and the ghost must be skinned until the blood is colored, so to wear a seven-layer shroud, must be red as a base.

Of course, I don't know if this is true, but I know that the richer the family, the more they will toss, and the people who have no money are neat, find a few wooden boards to order a box to hold the corpse, and don't pay so much etiquette, just find a second sword Taoist to guide the way, and it's over.

According to my grandfather, these are made for the living, in order to show the filial piety of filial piety, the importance of parents, in my opinion is a joke, when you are alive, you don't have a good filial piety, but you waste money when you die, this is to show that you have money or show your filial piety?

But no matter what, it's better to do things better than not to do them well, even if people die, but the soul is still there, at least after they die, they still know that my children have done such a great thing, and they are satisfied.

There is an old man in our village who lived to be more than 90 years old, and when his wife died, his children were all around, but he invited more than a dozen gentlemen to do a big job for more than ten days.

On the day of his wife's funeral, the old man smiled and said to the old lady's tombstone, your life is good, there is such a big battle when you die, old man, it would be good to have you when I die one day!

People don't like what they live in front of them, they like whether their children are generous after death.

As a result, the old man lived for more than 90 years, looking forward to death every day, that is, not dying, and has been living to watch his children grow old, gone, he has become a lonely old man, and he has not held this generous funeral.

Far away, the grandfather Liu passed away in front of him, and he didn't seem to be ready to hold any extravagant funeral, but simply asked friends in the village to help take care of it, and the banquet was held that afternoon, and about five or six tables were opened, and the people invited were all those who came to help in the village.

You can only work when you have enough to eat, not to mention this kind of white thing, which can't be done casually.

One by one, they brought their mothers-in-law and children to eat for free, and I watched as more and more people in the yard appeared, and when the last family walked in, I was so hung that I rolled down the ladder.

This family is not another family, it is Gan Yunshan's family, Gan Chengxiong, the coward, actually followed behind his father decently at this time, and walked to the mourning hall to kowtow to Grandpa Liu.

I can see his pious appearance when he kowtows, I guess this kid is praying that Grandpa Liu will not ask him to buy tofu brain at night, otherwise why would he be trembling?

Didn't this bastard say he would come and stay with me for the night? This will leave my brother at home, and he will go to eat a free meal?

This doesn't work, I have to go down and take a look, my grandfather and mother are all over there to help, and I sleep alone at night, I'm also scared!
