On the 27th of December in '84, the sky was overcast with black clouds, and large snowflakes began to fall on the ground in the gray sky.

The sky was gloomy, Li Zhongxin's home was even more cloudy, from the first two days of the winter solstice, Wang Xiutai began not to eat, after the experts from the provincial hospital invited by the province came here, he did not give any good plan, he told Li Zhongxin's family, the old man's pupils were a little dilated, it was no longer good, and the old clothes should be ready, and he could prepare for the future.

Wang Xiutai was lying on the warm kang head, suddenly feeling a lot more energetic, and a trace of ruddy breath appeared on her face.

For a period of time before, Wang Xiutai didn't eat or drink, and didn't even speak, but at this time, after suddenly coming up, he began to talk to Li Zhongxin's family.

Wang Xiutai's hand trembled and grabbed He Shuqing, who was staring at him, and said, "Shuqing! You have followed me all your life, from the black and oily braids to the full gray hair now, I haven't let you live too much of a good life, you have suffered with me, and now the life in the family is better, you must live a good life, take care of Xiaoqing and the faithful people. I can't do it anymore, as early as a month ago, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, and I could live to this point in my life, and I would die without regrets. After I'm gone, you have to live a good life, don't do stupid things, and don't think about me. People don't think about death, and you must not take the temper you had before to your heart. ”

After Wang Xiutai stared at He Shuqing again, his eyes turned to Li Zhongxin's mother, Wang Yaqing, and he said slowly: "Xiaoqing! Your grandmother and I have no children, and you have always been our children to cultivate, after I leave, you and Shang Yong will take care of your grandmother, and we must let her enjoy a few more years of happiness. After I'm gone, don't make a big deal of it, just send me to the tomb in my hometown in Fuxian County, and then go to Qingming or July 15 or something, if you have time, go over there and send me some money, faithful This child is still young, you must take care of it, let him become a talent, and be a useful person for the country and the people. ”

After Wang Xiutai choked up and finished speaking, his hand trembled and stretched out to Li Zhongxin, seeing that Li Zhongxin had not yet spoken, his arm softened, and the whole person seemed to lose his strength.

"Grandpa."

"Wife."

"Grandpa."

"Wake up! Why did you just leave? Wake up! ”

Li Zhongxin seemed to be drained of his strength in the crying, and he knew in his heart that his grandfather, who loved him the most since he was a child, had left him.

Every time a loved one dies, it is a kind of painful past, and it is a kind of spiritual practice, but Li Zhongxin is willing to have such a mental journey never happened.

Li Shangyong and his relatives, who had arrived here a few days in advance, drove Li Zhongxin and Wang Yaqing out of the house, and began to dress Wang Xiutai in old clothes.

After Li Zhongxin and his mother Wang Yaqing comforted their grandmother He Shuqing, they went to the mourning shed built in the courtyard outside under the leadership of their father Li Shangyong.

Li Zhongxin followed his parents into the mourning shed, looked at the portrait of his grandfather, and tears gushed out again.

The mourning shed was built by the third child of the Wang family, who was in charge of the civil affairs crematorium in the neighborhood, and was built in the middle of the courtyard with a white canvas canopy.

Offerings were placed on the square table in front of the coffin, and in the first row were five plates of dried and fresh fruits, oranges, bananas, pears, biscuits, and apples.

In the second row, five bowls are served at the bottom, and large slices of pork belly are placed on the noodles with oil and color. The last row is a five-plate high-stake bun, and then behind is the portrait of Wang Xiutai, which is surrounded by black hydrangea and black yarn on the frame for four circles.

Parking in the back is the camphor coffin that Hong Bin customized from Liuzhou, Guangxi.

For a long time, there has been a saying in China, that is, "Eat in Guangzhou, wear in Suzhou, play in Hangzhou, and die in Liuzhou." ”

Li Zhongxin's father, Li Shangyong, asked the people around him to help Zhang Luo prepare things for the future when Wang Xiutai's physical condition was frightened, and the coffin was originally wanted to be customized in his home factory, but later I heard that the coffin sold was better than that made in the family factory, so he called the longevity material market in Jiangcheng to see where there were good coffins.

When Li Zhongxin followed Li Shangyong to order a coffin, he actually heard the owner of the longevity store say that Liuzhou is rich in wood, and Liuzhou coffins are well-known all over the world.

Guilin in Guangxi is famous for "mountains and rivers in the world", and Liuzhou is famous for its "death".

People who don't know may be strange, in fact, if you understand Chinese tradition, you should know that since ancient times, life and death are equally important, *** all say "life is great and death is glorious", death is a big event, burial after death is a traditional top priority, kings have always built mausoleums for themselves before they died, it is precisely because of the importance of death.

In ancient China, people attached great importance to the coffin containing the body. The reason why Liuzhou is famous for death is precisely because Liuzhou's coffin is the most outstanding.

After Li Zhongxin heard about this, he knew in his heart that although his grandfather seemed to be dying, there was no problem for ten days and half a month, so he contacted Hong Bin and asked Hong Bin to order a good coffin from Liuzhou and transport it from Liuzhou to Jiangcheng.

"Xiaoqing! Grandpa's death, do we tell the fourth grandfather over there in Guangzhou? Guangzhou to this side, even if you take a plane, you may not be able to catch up, and the physical condition of the fourth grandfather and the fourth grandmother is not very good, grandpa said before, if he dies, tell that side later, I think it! It's better to notify that side of this matter, whether someone over there can come over is a matter over there, if you don't tell it, I'm afraid that that the other side will pick it up at that time. Li Shangyong saw that his neighbor Wang Laosan was studying the follow-up matters of the construction of the mourning shed with a middle-aged man in his forties, so Wang Yaqing and Li Zhongxin came out of the mourning shed, and studied the matter of not telling relatives over there in Guangzhou after Wang Xiutai died.

"Tell me! We have to tell the truth about Grandpa's death, the fourth grandfather was when I went to my grandparents, but as I said, if there is anything on Grandpa and Grandma's side, I must tell him over there, as for who will be sent over here, then another story, wait! So I called them.

The news of Grandpa's death! We went separately to call to make a notice, and I had to tell my grandfather's unit about it, and then my unit, and I had to notify all the teachers in the school about such a big thing. Also, on your relative's side, you also called to inform you, in short, the matter of grandpa's funeral must be done. ”()
