When Zhou Huaimin was arrested, Zhou Guilan was only eight years old, and her little sister was only three years old.

Nine years later, the Zhou family was completely defeated.

In order to marry Zhou Guilan's third brother Zhou Ansheng as a daughter-in-law, the Jiang family married the second daughter to the Xu family of the silver mine and filled the house for Xu Chenghou.

exchanged a lot of bride price money, and turned back to marry a daughter-in-law for his third son.

Later, the devil withdrew, and there was another war on Kuandian's side, so Jiang took his three sons and the little girl to Fusong and went to the eldest daughter.

After a few more years, Xu Chenghou and his wife couldn't get along in the silver mine, so they received a letter from the Jiang family and asked them to go to Fusong as well.

At this point, the brothers and sisters of the family came to this end.

The team funded by Zhou Huaimin later became the Anti-Japanese Federation, and it is said that some people became big cadres.

Therefore, when he was more than five years old, the upper authorities sent a working group to live in Zhou's house for half a year, and wanted to make meritorious contributions to Zhou Huaimin.

But at that time, the Jiang family and Zhou Anping experienced the troubled times, and they were already frightened, where did they dare to believe it?

No matter how people persuade them, they just refuse to nod.

The working group remained here for half a year without results and then left.

When he was in the past six years, he didn't know where Zhou Anping got a newspaper with the names of a group of cadres in the capital, and one person was named Zhou Huaimin.

At this time, Jiang's magic barrier has to be said to be her husband.

said that Zhou Huaimin was developed, and he married another daughter-in-law in the capital and became a family, abandoning his wife and children and not wanting her.

In this way, Jiang slowly became delirious, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

When it's good, it's almost like a normal person, and when it's bad, don't mention it, all kinds of things.

What put the chili peppers in the kang hole to burn, shouting and smoking what yellow skin, or running around the street with a cloak of hair, scolding her husband for having no conscience while running, and throwing her to enjoy happiness.

Anyway, in those years, Jiang's work was very powerful, Zhou Anping and Zhou Anfu stayed by their mother's side, and they were tossed a lot.

Only Zhou Ansheng, he moved to other places and was quieter.

Jiang has been doing it all these years, and he has done a lot of things to hang himself, but no one expected that he would really die this time.

It's also very mysterious to say, the house where Jiang lives has a window, and two nails are nailed to the top two corners of the window frame.

Jiang took a sack of wire and tied it to two nails, and when his head was put up, he was out of breath.

When Zhou Anping found out, everyone was cold, how could he save it? I can only inform my younger brothers and sisters, let's do the funeral.

Zhou Guilan and the others cried, and were persuaded to get up by the helpers and sit down next to them.

Listening to my brother and sister-in-law talk about my mother's deathbed, in the end, I could only sigh.

"Alas, this is the number of lives, who would have thought that a sack of wire could kill you?"

Indeed, Jiang lived to eighty-three, and it was okay to hang himself all day long, so why did he want to die on a sack line in the end?

Jiang died in the morning, and in the northeast, this is called the big three days.

Now that the weather is hot at this time, it is really bearable to toss for three days to go out of the funeral.

Fortunately, Shoucai has been prepared for a long time, not to mention the longevity, the Jiang family has been preparing for more than ten years.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, she still wears it once.

Zhou Anping found a carpenter to gather longevity wood, paint, paint eucalyptus, and according to local customs, before every meal, he took the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family to deliver soup.

Xu Shiyan and others kept vigil at night, and they had to help with the funeral during the day, just like that, two days passed.

By the morning of the third day, the body was buried, the coffin was sealed, and the children and grandchildren wept and sent each other off.

Eight strong young men lifted the coffin and carried it to the mountain for burial in a pre-selected location.

The Zhou family prepared a banquet here to thank relatives and friends for their help.

After eating, the friends who helped dispersed, leaving only the bookkeeper and Da Zhangluo, as well as the Zhou family, stayed and calculated the accounts clearly.

The brothers settle the accounts, the old lady is no longer there, and the things after death must be clarified.

In these years, red and white ceremonies are held, and there is little money given, and everything is given to things.

To do white things, the ordinary friendship is a few knives of paper, and the friendship is better, most of them have an account in addition to paper, that is, black cloth and white cloth.

The bookkeeper brought out all the gifts he had received in the past few days, as well as all kinds of expenses, and reported the accounts to the three brothers of Zhou Anping.

The money for the funeral was all taken from Zhou Anping, and now that the accounts are out, the three brothers will definitely share it equally.

According to local customs, daughters do not divide family property, and the elderly do not need to pay for funerals.

The only thing is that the money for the coffin has to be paid by the girl.

Of course, this is not much money, Zhou Guilan, her sister Zhou Guizhi, and her sister Zhou Guiyun are enough to contribute ten yuan each.

The three brothers of the Zhou family are okay, and they settle the accounts in a friendly manner.

The second Zhou Anfu and the third Zhou Ansheng both took out money and gave it to the boss.

At this point, the old man's funeral came to an end. The next is the three-day round grave, and there is the burning of five or seven.

"You brothers and sisters can go back, you don't have to stay here with us, your mother and I are fine, it's okay."

After everything was dealt with clearly, Xu Chenghou called his five sons to him and asked them all to go home.

The eldest and fourth, fifth and sixth all go to work, and it is not good to take too long off.

The second and third children have to keep an eye on the farm, and the third child still has a lot of things to do, so it is not good to delay it any longer.

"Let's wait for the grave to be rounded and then go back, just now your uncle also said that they will not burn the first seven, only the fifth seven.

Wait for the burning of five or seven and one hundred days, and then we will come back again. ”

According to local rules, when someone dies, it is generally a funeral, a round grave, a five-seven, a hundred days, an anniversary, and a third anniversary, which are more important.

In some places, more attention is paid to the first seven, but most of them don't burn the first seven here.

As the old saying goes, the first seven have to be done, and the first seven have to be done, and no one can afford to toss, so most of them are burned five-seven.

If there are five sons in the family, then you can't burn five or seven, you have to burn three seven.

At this time, every family is busy, and no one can stay here for seven or eight days.

Xu Shiyan and they are all grandchildren, so it's good to do this job, no one cares.

"Dad, Mom, then we'll go back first, you two will stay here for a few more days, and it just so happens that my third uncle and aunt will rarely come back to gather.

Dad, look at my mom, don't let her cry all the time, it's not good to cry too much. ”

The six brothers and sisters of the Xu family saw that it was not too early, and they were afraid that there would be no car to go back if it was too late.

Everyone didn't hesitate, told their parents a few words, and left together.

The six siblings broke up at the bridge, Xu Shide crossed the river to the north, and the remaining five siblings walked to the Xianren Bridge.

To Xianrenqiao Railway Station, Xu Shiyan, Xu Shi'an, and Xu Shiqin went to buy train tickets, and the three of them took the train back to Songjiang River.

And Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang took the bus of Fusong on the fairy bridge, and the two of them went to the county first.

If there is a car to Xinglong, Xu Shixiang will go back directly, if not, Xu Shixiang will stay in the county for one night, and then return to Xinglong tomorrow.

"Big brother, fifth brother, you two should pay attention on the road, it's not peaceful at this time, don't be careful."

The past few years have not been the same as before, and there is chaos outside, especially buses, which are really blocking the road and robbing.

Fortunately, these two guys didn't have much money on them, so there should be no problem.

The four brothers separated, Xu Shiyan and the second brother and six sisters got on the slow train, and walked all the way back to the Songjiang River.

Xu Shi'an Sentie, Xu Shiqin went to the store, and Xu Shiyan went home.

"Second brother-in-law, you are back, someone will always come to your house these days."

As soon as Xu Shiyan entered the door, Su Anhua hurriedly said.
