One hundred and seventy-one, funeral

"What do you mean?" Lin Yifan was indeed a little surprised, being so flamboyant was not her usual style.

"Yes, that's what I mean, my mother has worked hard all her life, and she has kept a low profile all her life, and when she is old, I always have to let her be beautiful, lively, and leave no regrets, right?" Huang Ying raised her teary eyes and looked straight at Lin Yifan, her eyes flashed with a strange and complex light, which seemed to reveal a little pride, a little resentment, and seemed to have a little mockery and disdain.

Lin Yifan met her eyes, trying to read something carefully, but he saw his upside-down shadow in Huang Ying's black pupils, and Lin Yifan sighed secretly, and the whole person fell into decline all of a sudden.

"Do you still have filial piety clothes? Give me one! Lin Yifan asked Huang Ying in a low voice.

"Nope." Xiao Li didn't wait for Huang Ying to speak, so he coldly refused, "Only the children and nephews of the immediate family can wear it, as for you, just skip it!" ”

"Shut up, who are you?" Lin Yifan roared in a deep voice.

"I ......" Xiao Li was speechless for a while, he really felt that he was speechless, indeed, although he was helping to deal with funeral affairs as Huang Ying's friend, but the affairs related to the distribution of filial piety clothes and other matters involving the rank of the clan were presided over by other elders in the clan, and he was not needed at all, and an outsider like him was not allowed to interfere.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Huang Ying snorted softly, then stood up and said a few words to an old woman in her sixties who was sitting on the side of her who was wiping her tears, Lin Yifan saw the old woman look at him a few times, and then nodded heavily at Huang Ying. After a while, Huang Ying took a set of filial piety clothes and handed them to Lin Yifan. "Give. Put it on! ”

After Lin Yifan was dressed neatly. Huang Ying pinned a black sleeve to him with a pin, Lin Yifan took a closer look, but saw that the word Jizi (Yizi) was written on it in white material, thinking that this is also in line, and there is no embarrassment, Aunt Huang didn't reveal this meaning when she was sick, and Lin Yifan took the initiative to ask to wear filial piety clothes, which probably responded to this meaning.

Xiao Li looked at Lin Yifan's dress on the side. couldn't help snorting coldly, turned back to Huang Ying and said, "You rest for a while, the relatives and friends who are condolences should be coming soon, I'll go outside to say hello first." ”

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Li!" Huang Ying politely thanked her.

"How are the relatives?" Lin Yifan asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"You don't know much!" Huang Ying replied in a low voice.

"Hmm." Lin Yifan listened to it and groaned, "Is there any news from the company?" ”

Huang Ying sat on the chair, leaned back weakly, shook her head and said, "Forget it." Don't bother! ”

Lin Yifan didn't answer, but took out his mobile phone and dialed Gao Yuan's phone first. reported to him about the situation here, Gao Yuan meant to let Lin Yifan take care of it himself, and the couplets, wreaths, and gifts sent by the company on behalf of the company should not be less, and what standards can be grasped by himself, because he is still traveling outside, depending on the situation, try to come over the next day. After hanging up Gao Yuan's phone, Lin Yifan called Xiao Cai again, and notified all the middle-level and above cadres and all the staff in the office according to the exclusivity, so that they could come to participate in Aunt Huang's farewell ceremony the next day, and gave a special explanation, saying that it was ordered by Lin Yifan, and everyone should not be absent, and asked Yang Jiening Yuqi and other male comrades to come over tonight to accompany the night vigil.

"You're not going to be like this, are you? It's not good to bother people in the New Year! Huang Ying listened to Lin Yifan finish the phone call and asked worriedly.

"Didn't you say you wanted your mother to go with a lively scene? I know that you don't have many relatives, since you want such a big hall, someone has to come! Lin Yifan once again looked up and down at this surprisingly large farewell hall, and secretly scolded Xiao Li in his heart for doing what this was called.

When there is a gap between people, the same sentence has two completely different understandings.

In Lin Yifan's view, it is also out of kindness to call all the colleagues in the company, because only a few fake monks and fake Taoist priests can't hold up the scene, and there is a custom in Linjiang to invite friends with foreign surnames to accompany the night vigil on the eve of cremation, so that family members who have been tired for several days can also take the opportunity to take a break to recover their strength, and at the same time, it will not let the incense on the mourning hall be cut off and lose popularity.

But to Huang Ying's ears, it seemed that Lin Yifan was still mocking her for not considering her financial affordability and relying on Xiao Li to make things bigger. Don't you want the scenery to be lively, then okay, I'll just help you call more people. Huang Ying thought so in her heart, tears blurred her eyes again, she originally thought that she had been crying too much in the past few days, and probably there would not be many more tears, but she didn't expect that she would burst into tears again for such a sentence from this bastard, she was really cheap!

"Whatever you want!" Huang Ying glared at Lin Yifan fiercely, then sat aside and stopped talking.

Lin Yifan didn't know what he did wrong, and his face was a little ugly. Since the last incident, I always feel that Huang Ying has changed a little, and her speech has become more and more sour, maybe she has changed a lot, Lin Yifan laughed bitterly at himself, and felt a little relieved. Seeing Huang Ying's weak appearance, where could he still be hard to show her face, he didn't care anymore, took a glass of water and handed it to Huang Ying and said softly: "Tired, right?" I'll take care of the rest! ”

Huang Ying glanced at Lin Yifan with some surprise, if it was a few months ago, she would be happy and moved to hear Lin Yifan say this, but now, Xiao Li is outside......

Lin Yifan sensed her embarrassment and hesitation, so he pressed the back of her cold hand, and turned around to the front of the spiritual platform without saying anything.

The customs of Linjiang generally stopped for three days, today is the next day when Aunt Huang leaves, and those who come to mourn in the morning should be mainly relatives, and Huang Ying's uncles and aunts are not many, so there is nothing to greet, because most of the people who should come have come, if they don't come again, they probably won't come again today, so the old master of ceremonies with a sharp voice is also idle, and at this time, a pair of cloudy eyes are turning back and forth on Lin Yifan's body, Lin Yifan is mixed with goosebumps, but it is inconvenient to attack, had to return with a wry smile, and then simply leaned two steps forward and said hello: "Master has worked hard!" ”

The master of ceremonies rolled his eyelids, looked at Lin Yifan's sleeves and asked, "Are you?" ”

"It's a righteous son!" Lin Yifan carefully sorted out his sleeves and replied.

"Oh, that's easy!" The master of ceremonies exhaled.

"What?" Lin Yifan asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some ceremonies that require my son to participate, and I'm worried that I can't find a suitable replacement, and now that I have a righteous son, it's the same." The master of ceremonies explained.

"Oh, that's fine, but I don't know anything about these customs!" Lin Yifan was not without worries.

The master of ceremonies waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, just do what I ask when the time comes." ”

"That's it!" Lin Yifan said with a smile, "I don't understand these things, anyway, please ask the master to follow your complete set, don't miss any procedures, the price is fine, it doesn't matter if I can be polite after the incident!" Lin Yifan originally said these good words and gave some monetary promises, just to make these fake monks and fake Taoist priests work harder and more dedicatedly, and make the scene more lively, but I didn't expect the master of ceremonies to not eat this set.

"You don't need to tell you this, we have done it for thousands of families, we can do what we have to do, maybe you will think that what we do is for the living, but in fact, we are all praying for the blessing of the deceased." The master of ceremonies said displeased.

"Master, don't get me wrong, I just watched you work very hard day and night, and I just want to add more incense money to you!" Lin Yifan hurriedly changed his words and explained.

"No need, we have already negotiated with Mr. Xiao about the price, so we don't bother!" The master of ceremonies said lightly, and half-closed his eyelids after speaking. (To be continued......)
