Volume 1 In 2007, I was given the Golden Silkworm Gu by my grandmother Chapter 2 The Country Banquet
Xiaojing and I tossed and ran around for almost a whole day, basically didn't eat anything on the road, I was in good health, but I didn't feel anything, Xiaojing was already frowning, uncomfortable, my second aunt quickly took us to the kitchen to eat oil tea. Sitting in this smoky kitchen, drinking oil tea, my mood is much soothed. There are a lot of things to be busy with at the funeral, and although my parents are very reluctant to let me go, they just accompany me to say a few words.
Putting on white filial piety clothes, Xiaojing and I sat on the low bench in the kitchen eating oil tea, surrounded by several relatives, some of the same generation and some of the older generation, asking questions. Some people also asked me where the car came from, was it mine? I shook my head and said that it was borrowed, Xiaojing was a child, and proudly said that Brother Zuo borrowed it from a friend who was the captain of the ** bureau.
Others exclaimed, saying, wow, there are such friends......
A distant cousin of mine handed me a cigarette, and I waved my hand to say no, and he laughed hesitantly, saying that he thought my cigarette was too bad (meaning rotten)? I said I couldn't smoke, I really wouldn't, Xiaojing also knew it. He was still puzzled, so he lit the cigarette himself, saying that you are a big boss, you don't smoke cigarettes, so you save a little, right? Then he began to talk about how difficult he was, saying that the doll below wanted to study, and the old man above had no pension money, and his daughter-in-law quarreled every day and thought he was incompetent...... Such complaints, the final meaning of which is still to be pulled by me.
I nodded and said that there is nothing to do, if you can help, you can help - this distant cousin is a famous lazy man in my second uncle's village, thinking about pie in the sky, for this kind of person, cup rice and rice hatred, I am just talking, I can't be true.
I sat for a while and came out to take a breath. Grandma died, came a lot of relatives and friends, our family is big, every family has come to people, so it is very lively, there are mahjong tables in the yard, a bunch of people are there to push up mahjong, smoke is around, loud noise, have fun. Relatives and neighbors who are far apart from each other are smiling and beaming, and it feels like it's not like a funeral, but a funny party. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, but this is a custom, and I can't change it alone.
Because I was driving, my uncle came to discuss with me, saying that I needed to buy some things for the wine today, and for the funeral tomorrow, and there was only one small truck in the village, so I asked me to help me run away. I said okay, I'm busy with this by car. He was very happy and patted me on the shoulder and said there was something to be done.
In the middle of the day my mother came running to me, pulled me aside, and asked me what I had been up to lately.
I wonder, isn't it just that I opened a restaurant in partnership with Ah Dong from the province in the southern Hongshan? It's all normal business, and it won't embarrass you. My mother raised her hand and gave me a head and scolded, "You kid has grown up, and your wings are stiff, aren't you?" I'm not asking about this, it's about you and Huang Fei. Last year, Huang Fei's sister cub often came to visit me at home, but after you came back last time this year, there was no news. What the hell is going on, it can't be that another girl's family dislikes you for not having a serious job, and doesn't want you, right?
My mother is an old man, but she doesn't spoil me, she should be beaten, she should be scolded, and she is not ambiguous at all.
I said helplessly, where is it, your son is now providing serious work to others, and he is still worried about this? The matter between me and Huang Fei is because her family is against it, so we will be separated for a while and think about it calmly. My mother handed me something, I took it and looked at it, it was a bunch of keys, my mother said that it was sent by Officer Yang, let me take it, she can't control my affairs, but she must let her be able to hold her grandson when she is dying, otherwise she will live for a lifetime, it is really meaningless.
I nodded busily, saying that it would be annoying to give you a bunch of grandchildren when the time came.
And my mother laughed, and said, "You damn boy, do you think I don't understand?" If someone has a job and violates the plan to have children, the state will not agree to it, and they will be expelled.
In the following time, I was busy, and friends who have participated in funerals in the countryside should know the Tao, obituary, greeting, procurement, crying, mourning, wreath elegy, and cemetery site selection...... It's a mess, it's complicated. And we also have a "new custom" there, that is, we invite some grass stage troupes to sing operas, not traditional singing operas, but to sing older popular songs, such as "Mother", "Mother's Kiss" and the popular Daolang, which is lively.
This thing has also become popular in recent years, and people who are a little more wealthy will invite it, otherwise they will be said that their children and grandchildren are too poor and poor.
Of course, people who play trumpets, suona, and gongs are also indispensable.
It's a matter of face and comparison, and although I don't like it very much, I still endure this vulgar thing.
The cemetery was visited by a well-known feng shui master in the area. The old gentleman was an elementary school teacher earlier, and after retiring, he began to pick up the compass and erect a signboard with a few easy-to-learn miscellaneous books. I've been to see the cemetery, and it's a decent choice, not fierce, but it's pure nonsense to say how rich and prosperous it is. I have done this at home before, I am a peer, talking to him, often can be a little through, after some exchanges, he repeatedly begged for mercy, said Mr. Xiao, you are a smart person, why bother the old man? If you know that Lu Dao is your grandmother, the old man will not accept this job and add jokes.
I waved my hand and smiled, saying that there is a specialization in the art industry, and Feng Shui is the way of public opinion, and I only understand it a little, and I confirm each other.
The time I spent in my hometown to help people tell fortunes and watch incense was very short, only two months, but the impact was great, and many people who knew me saw it, all called Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao, and they respected me very much. The villagers' education level is limited, and their understanding is shallow, but there is one point, if you think you have the ability, you will be respectful and very good, but I was busy all afternoon, and when it was time to eat, my uncle came to invite me to sit at the table, don't be busy.
That night was the main wine of the funeral, and there were about 20 tables of people, and the so-called upper table was the table where a few elders of our family who were relatively well mixed and a few heads of the village were located. I didn't like to be around a bunch of old guys, and I had some friends I knew who I needed to say hello to, so I couldn't say no. As he was talking, two police cars came not far away and stopped on the flat ground on the side of the road. The car door opened, and Ma Haibo, Yang Yu and several people from the ** team walked out.
The momentum of these guys is a little weird, and the lively scene that was about to open the banquet suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at each other, thinking that someone had committed a crime and provoked ** to arrest him.
Ma Haibo led people over, and my uncle saw them coming at me, a little panicked, and said Ah Zuo, are you committing a crime? As he was talking, Ma Haibo came over and shook hands with me, saying that if he hadn't heard Yang Yu talk about it, my brother really didn't know that you were back. Really, they didn't say hello sooner, causing us to run over in a hurry. Oh, the feast......
I shrugged my shoulders and said I had just come back and didn't have time to do it. I'm thinking I'll come back to you in a few days.
Ma Haibo said that when the old man went, he always had to pay a salute. Yang Yu next to me and a few ** I know all greeted me, saying that I had to tell the big guys about this. When my uncle heard this conversation, he was a little surprised and hurriedly helped greet him. Ma Haibo insisted on taking Yang Yu and others to the mourning hall to pay homage to my grandmother, and then went to the table in charge of registering and receiving gifts to hand over the gift money.
There were six of them, and my uncle immediately arranged a table for the room, and he didn't let me go to the table, so he accompanied the group of friends to dinner. I also had some friends who were playing small on my side, and after saying hello to them, I came over the house to drink with Ma Haibo and them.
Actually, I wasn't surprised that Ma Haibo and the others would come, they were all friends, but what made me a little sad was that there were actually six rough old men, and Huang Fei didn't come. Although there is a one-year appointment, the death of my grandmother is obviously much greater than the restriction made by her father, even Ma Haibo and Yang Yu came, but she did not come, this look, it is really abnormal?
I had a sense of foreboding.
But in front of these people, I don't ask questions, and I'm just chatting with them at the moment. I also asked about Yang Yu's promotion, and he was a little embarrassed and said that he would invite me to dinner alone for a few days. The banquets in the countryside are very simple, all of which are big pot dishes of chicken, duck and fish, cooked and scooped one by one. The wine is the bud valley wine brewed by the farmer, it is spicy and top, I drank a few glasses, and several people didn't speak, Ma Haibo patted me on the shoulder, coughed his throat, and said Lu Zuo, in fact, you came back this time, it was really a coincidence, I was thinking about going to you.
As soon as I heard what he meant, I asked if I had encountered any more difficult cases.
Ma Haibo looked out of the door, a little hesitant, saying that it was not a case, it was just a little strange, do you remember the last time we went to the Qingshan Realm to encircle and suppress the dwarf mules? I said yes, how can I not remember. Ma Haibo said, then do you remember Wu Gang's serious illness? I suddenly had some confusion in my head, and after thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that it was not the guide Wu Gang from Myanmar, but the ** Captain Wu who led the team when encircling and suppressing the dwarf mules.
I said that he was haunted by the dead little bearded ghost last time, and I deliberately ran to Shonan to overkill that resentment. What the hell is going on, suddenly bringing this up?
Ma Haibo and Yang Yu looked at each other, hesitated and didn't speak. I tapped the wine glass with my chopsticks, making a crisp sound, saying that if there is something to say, to talk quickly, and to fart quickly. Today, my brothers came to pay respects to my dead grandmother, to give me Lu Zuo's face. It's a brother, just say it directly.
Ma Haibo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Lu Zuo, I came to you today to ask for your help. Here's the thing, that time I went to encircle and suppress the dwarf mule, and two of Wu Gang's brothers died inexplicably, just two days ago. And Luo Fuan - do you remember that fat man under me? - He also suddenly became seriously ill in the first two days, and he couldn't be cured when he was sent to the hospital for treatment, saying that he would live well in a few days......"
Yang Yu was very embarrassed and said: "Your grandmother will be buried tomorrow, and you will definitely be a filial son and grandson when the funeral comes, but Luo Fuan will not save it, I am afraid that I will die, so, so I ......"
I opened my eyes wide and slapped my thigh: Lao Tzu encountered this kind of thing as soon as he came home, damn, how could this thing be so coincidental?
Nan no robes science Buddha said:
I won't describe the details of the funeral, but the picture above is easy to understand. Well, then again, I haven't eaten yet, it's over, it's eaten. I like to see everyone talking about the plot, especially the guessing of the plot, so I look good and have a clear idea, hehe. Of course, when people criticize something, don't be too one-sided, because you will soon find out that everything is not like this. Well, spoilers are over, see you tomorrow. This chapter is more suitable for over 160,000 recommendations and Queen's Day, it turns out that my... I'm sorry, but I've been getting a lot of sleep lately. A few friends who hold the crown, not in time, forgive me
