Chapter 408: Funeral (2)
"Huo An can be regarded as content in this life!" Qian Ming pulled Huo Jiaojiao and persuaded: "Look at how many leaders have come here." The mayor and the mayor are here, don't howl here, it's weird. ”
"Why don't I howl? My brother is gone, can't I cry yet!" Huo Jiaojiao knelt in the spirit shed and cried, and Zhang Yao also followed into the spirit shed to wipe her tears.
"Where's the coffin?" Song Jiangang couldn't help but pull Qian Ming and muttered: "Didn't you say that his comrades-in-arms sent people back?"
"What was sent back was ashes, and a good big living person was burned to ashes. Qian Ming sighed with pity: "Now that Kou Xi is left alone, how can she support her children as a woman?
"I'm afraid that my own child won't be fed, so I'll throw it to the old man. Song Jiangang couldn't help but speculate maliciously: "Can she guard Huo An for a lifetime?" If you want me to say, while the leaders are here, discuss and discuss what will happen after this death." ”
He pointed to the spiritual shed and said, "All this money is spent for the living, and the real hardships of life are still to come." ”
While speaking, Wang Yazhi led people out of the house, each carrying a tray. Wang Yazhi is holding a pig's head in her hand, a whole chicken in the back, and a fish in the back.
"Pig's head and three animals?" Song Jiangang couldn't help frowning: "Kou Xi is so generous?
"Kou Xi has always been generous, this time it is the funeral of her own man, she will definitely do it beautifully. Qian Ming looked at the three animals on the table and his eyes were a little hot, thinking that when his old father died, their brothers couldn't make up these things with money. After all, the deceased is gone, and the living still have to count firewood, rice, oil and salt.
"Alright, get up. Go see Kou Xi and the children!" Qian Ming saw Huo Jiaojiao crying sadly, worried about her body. pulled her to stand up, and said in her ear: "There are still a lot of things to do, for Huo An's sake, you have to help her." ”
Huo Jiaojiao had a desperate expression, and said coldly: "When my brother was alive, I treated her as a treasure, and my brother was gone, so what did I care about her." ”
"Isn't there still a child! Mi Le is still young, don't you expect your own mother, can you count on your father?" Qian Ming himself is also a father, so he naturally understands what the most urgent thing should be done.
"Don't forget, your brother's pension is quite a lot. Whether the money is for the child or for her, when others come to fight for it, these have to be discussed. Qian Ming thought long-term: "Li Cuilian's character is half of a broom, this time Huo An is gone, if she doesn't make trouble, it won't be her." ”
"I'll go see her!" Huo Jiaojiao wiped away a handful of tears and was helped into the house by her husband.
Kou Xi did not live in the hall, and still stayed in his room. Most of the furniture in this room had been moved to her new house, so when Huo Jiaojiao came in, it was even more depressed.
Kou Xi led the two children to sit on the kang, and Tang Jinzhi sat next to her to talk to her. There are also a few women that Huo Jiaojiao doesn't know, who look like relatives of the Kou family.
"Her aunt is here!" Tang Jinzhi turned sideways to make way for Huo Jiaojiao, and introduced to a few women around him: "This is my aunt's own sister, born by a mother!"
Kou Xi raised his head and looked at Huo Jiaojiao, her eyes swollen as big as walnuts. Huo Jiaojiao felt a little pity when she saw it, thinking that her brother liked this brother very much when he was alive. Seeing her young and leading a child who couldn't leave, I felt even more pitiful.
stepped forward and sat on the kang, held Kou Xi's hand and comforted: "Don't cry, how can you take care of the child when you cry." ”
She hugged the well-behaved Miller sitting next to her in her arms, thinking that Huo An didn't even have a child left, so she couldn't help crying sadly.
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Huo Jiaojiao couldn't help but persuade Kou Xi again: "Park for a few days, where are you going to be buried? Colleagues in the unit are going to stay here for a few days? Who is going to entertain us?"
"Three comrades came, and for the time being, they arranged to live in this old house. Her father and her second uncle accompanied her, and our two boys were also taking care of her. Tang Jinzhi was very glad that there were many men in the family at this time, and they could help Kou Xi support things.
Speaking of which, he couldn't help but blame Huo Dagui: "He said that he wanted to mourn at his place, you said that the place was not big, and when he came up, he said that he wanted to build a spiritual shed in his yard and said that he would let us pay for the wine." This son has just died, even if he counts his daughter-in-law's money, is this like a word? Although this is the matter of the old Huo family, our old Kou family is not without people. ”
Huo Jiaojiao listened to Li Cuilian's temper at her mother's house, and when she came, she blamed Kou Xi for why she set up the spirit shed here.
"Now that we're separated, it's impossible for us to have a funeral over there. Even if I don't say it, you know, eldest sister, it's impossible for Huo An to be in his stepmother's house......"
Kou Xi took a deep breath: "The funeral shed will be built for three days, and when I am buried, I will go to the martyr's cemetery and not be buried here." ”
Huo Jiaojiao's face changed: "Aren't you buried in the ancestral grave of the old Huo family?" She raised her voice a few times: "Why? Have you discussed it with my father?"
"Huo An is a soldier and has his own way home. Only in the martyr's cemetery did someone remember his dedication, and that was where he should be buried. Buried in the ancestral grave, there is not even a tombstone ....." Kou Xi's expression was solemn, staring at Huo Jiaojiao and said: "You don't need to discuss this matter with him, and you don't need him to agree or disagree." I have the word for it!"
Huo Jiaojiao was choked and speechless, and nodded for a while: "You're right, the martyr's cemetery is where he should go." Ordinary people are not qualified yet. ”
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were relatively silent, and after a long time, there was a lively cry outside. Zhang Yao pushed the door in, and said to Kou Xi in a loud voice: "Mom and Dad are here, let you out." ”
Kou Xi put on filial piety clothes, and dressed Niu Niu and Mi Le. She held Niu Niu's hand, and Tang Jinzhi hugged Mi Le. He went out of the house and came into the mourning tent.
Seeing a group of people standing outside, Huo Dagui walked up to Kou Xi excitedly: "I said that the township chief was coming over in the morning, why didn't you tell me." Hurry, hurry up. After this, with the help of the township mayor and the town mayor, your life will not be sad. ”
Township Mayor Geng, who was also the former Mayor Geng, had contact with Kou Xi a few times before because of buying a store. Later, Kou Xi would send some gifts to Mayor Geng's house during the New Year's holidays, and began to send some local chickens and fat sheep and the like, and later became acquainted with her daughter-in-law, so she would send some high-end cosmetics sold in department stores.
Therefore, Huo An died, and Township Chief Geng knew about it, so he naturally came down to mourn in person. The township chief came over in person, and the mayor of Hongqi Town and the people with face and status here also followed.
Huo Dagui was originally angry with Kou Xi, and this father-in-law and his daughter-in-law got into the ring. refused to come to the backyard to take a look, just to make Kou Xi lose face in front of his neighbors.
Unexpectedly, it was rumored in the town that because Huo An was a soldier who sacrificed his life for the country, there were leaders from above who came to mourn. The leaders all came in person, how could Huo Dagui be embarrassed to pretend to be big.
This became a loving father again, pulling Kou Xi to act......
