China has a wide range of materials and many famous ethnic groups, and the customs of funerals are different in different places. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info take the summer here, when people are about to die, children must be by their side, if the children are in the field, they must be recalled immediately, in order to see the last face, called the end. After the end, the junior must kneel in front of the bed and cry, and immediately find the monk to recite the "leading scripture". At the same time, change the life clothes for the deceased, and take the changed clothes to the intersection and burn them.

After wearing, the children will move to the living room with their heads and feet, and the corpses will be displayed on a wooden couch, and then moved by the children to the coffin.

An offering table is set up in front of the funeral bed, offerings are displayed, incense and candles are lit, and a spiritual position is erected on the table, which is now mostly replaced by the remains of the deceased.

The day after the death, inform relatives and friends, pay respects to their faces before the burial, and set up a birthday banquet to entertain them. That night, after the birthday feast, a brazier dedicated to burning paper money will be placed in the open space, and the monks will circle around the brazier before it is burned to chant sutras, while the children and juniors will throw coins into the brazier, which is called "buying road money".

That night, there was also a troupe singing on stage, which was called a ghost show. There is a sense of remembrance, and there is also hope that the deceased will have a better life in another world.

On the third day of the funeral, before the funeral, food will be offered in front of the coffin, paper money will be burned, and relatives will kowtow. Then the stool was removed, and the coffin was carried forward by eight people.

The funeral route is dominated by the lively street market, and when the coffin is carried forward, the son walks in front with the image of the deceased, followed by the person who blows the horn and sets off the firecrackers, followed by the coffin, and then the relatives. Where the coffin misses, paper money is thrown along the way, which is called road money. Whenever there is an intersection, someone will draw a line at the intersection with white lime, saying that they are afraid that the deceased will get lost. In addition, every time the coffin travels a certain way, the children will kowtow and cry when the coffin is paid, but the coffin cannot fall to the ground until it is buried in the earth (now cremated).

There are many things to do after returning from the funeral, and there are many details that we are no longer familiar with at this age.

For the location of the summer, he is just an outsider, and the funeral customs here are very different from theirs, which Xu Jiashan told him. As for why Xu Jiashan suddenly said this to Xia, it was because she asked Xia Xia to accompany her to a relative's funeral tonight, and by the way, she popularized the local funeral customs to Xia.

The dead were one of Xu Jiashan's cousins, who she remembered seeing during the Chinese New Year. At that time, in Xu Jiashan's eyes, in addition to a little Alzheimer's disease, her grandmother was quite healthy. Now half a year later, my grandmother said she was leaving.

The death of my grandmother in advance is really infuriating.

Grandma has two sons and a daughter, and she has always relied on her eldest son to live. The eldest son's family background is not very good, but the younger couple takes good care of her, and the person she is most satisfied with is also the eldest son.

Not long ago, the eldest daughter-in-law fell ill and needed to stay in a city hospital for a while. The eldest son's two children are still in college, so he has to go to the hospital to take care of his wife.

Grandma has Alzheimer's, and the eldest son is not worried that she is alone at home, and he can't afford to hire a caregiver on his terms, so he sends his grandmother to the second son to sponsor for a few days.

Among the three children, the second son and daughter have a very prosperous family. Originally, the three of them took turns to take care of their grandmother for a month. But as they made their fortunes, they took less and less care of their grandmother, and in the end they simply paid some money and directly lost their grandmother to their eldest son.

On the same day, when the eldest son gave his grandmother to the second son, the second son shirked in every possible way, and in the end, the eldest son was in a hurry to go to the hospital, so he reluctantly left his grandmother. But after the eldest son left, the second son didn't even bring his grandmother into the house, but stood directly outside the door to call his eldest sister and asked him to come to his house to take his grandmother home.

However, the eldest daughter and the second son did everything possible to shirk it, and said on the phone, "I've been very busy lately, so let's let my mother live with you these days." ”

After hanging up the phone, the second son looked at his grandmother and instructed, "Mom, I have something to do, you can go to the eldest sister's house by yourself in a while." ”

The second son said, stuffed some money into his grandmother's hand, and left, of course, he still sent such a message to the eldest sister, "Mom went to your house by herself, you will pick it up on the road in a while." ”

Grandma is already senile dementia, and she may not even remember who is her son and who is her daughter, how can she remember the way to her daughter's house and what car to take?

And the weather has been so hot for the past two days that the surface temperature can grill the steak until it is semi-ripe. I seem to think about what it would be like for a nearly eighty-year-old grandmother to walk from morning to afternoon without eating or drinking in such weather. The key is that grandma's second son and eldest daughter didn't care about her, and cared about whether she was still at the second son's house or had already arrived at the eldest daughter's house. It wasn't until the police station notified the eldest son who was still in the hospital through the number on the grandmother's badge that the two of them rushed to the hospital to pick up the grandmother. Unfortunately, my grandmother had passed away at that time.

(Don't think this story is just me making it up, we did have a demented grandmother here not long ago who walked from morning to noon, and if it weren't for the good Samaritan who happened to know his son and sent her back, maybe she would have ...... ）

The actions of the grandmother's second son and the eldest daughter are indeed indignant, but now that the deceased is gone, there is no point in holding them accountable, and the most important thing now is to send the grandmother on this last journey.

Xu Jiashan came to attend the second day of the funeral, and she was going to stay here for one night tonight, because she was a little scared to see more ghosts with Xia, so she called Xia to come along.

After the birthday banquet, after the monk recites the scriptures, he will set up a stage to sing. Because it was the mother who died, in the middle of the song, the opera would sing a song "Only Mother is Good in the World". Listening to this song, I can't help but think of my grandmother's second son and eldest daughter, which is really the best irony for them, and I don't know how they will feel when they hear this song at this time.

…………

Only mothers are good in the world, and mothers are like treasures

Throw yourself into your mother's arms, and happiness is indispensable......

The actor on the stage had just reached the middle of the song, and his neck seemed to be choked, and he couldn't sing anymore. What's even more frightening is that a strange gust of wind came out, and all the paper money burning in the brazier was extinguished. Immediately, there was a panicked cry in the mourning hall, and the grandmother's second son and eldest daughter also ran out in panic.

Summer immediately rushed into the mourning hall, and at this time, only the grandmother's eldest son was still kneeling in front of the coffin and kowtowing, "Mom...... Mom, are you back? The eldest sister and the second brother are not sensible, can you forgive them......"

Summer let out a long sigh, stepped forward and put her hand on the shoulder of her grandmother's second son and said, "She's gone." ”

Grandma's second son stopped kowtowing, crawled to the offering table on his knees, lit the incense candles, and lifted up the statue of Grandma that he had attained. (To be continued.) )
