The west wind is howling, and the weather is getting colder.

Liu Huanzhang leaned on the bed, his mouth wide open, panting. He hadn't eaten for two days, and occasionally drank a little plain water, and he had to be fed with a spoon.

Every year in winter, Liu Huanzhang always has old problems, but this time is completely different from previous years, he always feels stuffy in his chest, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he is already skinny. For this reason, Liu Yong was also in a hurry. Fortunately, business has entered the off-season, so Liu Yong accompanies his father every day. From time to time, I chatted with my father and comforted him.

Fortunately, Liu Yongniang has already been mentally prepared, and the shroud and longevity materials have long been ready. There will be no rush at that time.

Liu Huanzhang coughed violently, his mouth opened wide, and he looked uncomfortable. The whole family gathered around.

Liu Yong hurriedly came over to beat his father's chest and back, and fed his father a little water with a spoon.

Liu Huanzhang motioned Liu Yong with his hand to put the bowl down, and motioned for Liu Yong to sit down on the edge of the bed.

Liu Huanzhang pulled Liu Yong's hand, he was weak, and said intermittently: Ah, Ah Yong, I have been, heart, satisfied. Also, I was relieved. Just, just, the Liu family still owes a debt that has not been repaid.

Liu Yong had tears in his eyes, his face was almost on Liu Huanzhang's face, and said to Liu Huanzhang: Please rest assured, no matter how big the debt is, I will pay it back if I smash the pot and sell iron.

Liu Huanzhang said intermittently: The Liu family, just, just, just owe, Hong, Hong Ying girl a debt.

Hong Ying, who was standing on the side with Qiumei in one hand and Dongmei in the other, howled and cried when she heard this. Crying and said: Master, don't say that, our Song family owes the Liu family, and we can't pay it off in this life.

Dongmei and Qiumei were also so frightened that they cried. Hong Ying wept bitterly and led them out of the room.

At this time, someone shouted: Quick, quick, the master can't do it, hurry up and get hot water to scrub his body.

There was crying in the room.

Liu Yong also knelt on the ground, and his head hit the ground with a "bang". Daddy, the child is not filial! Cry.

Someone desperately pulled Liu Yong up. Say: You have to calm down, there are so many things to deal with these days.

Hearing Liu Huanzhang say the last sentence of "The Liu family still owes Miss Hong Ying a debt", he left. Hong Ying is really sadder than the death of her parents, thinking about her in the past few years in the Liu family, the Liu family has never treated her as a human being. The Song family has today, and it is all the strength of the Liu family. Liu Yong and his wife regard themselves as their own sisters, and the two old men also regard themselves as daughters. Delicious food and good clothes are indispensable to Hong Ying's share. Hong Ying was sad when she thought about it, and she cried to death.

Dongmei and Qiumei also cried. Yu Hui was in tears, so she had to lead them over. Dongmei and Qiumei cried: I want an aunt, I want an aunt.

Hong Ying was crying while pulling the two children to her side. It's a mess.

Hong Ying poured hot water and washed the faces of the two, but she still burst into tears.

Everything was arranged, and Liu Huanzhang's coffin was placed in the center of the hall. On the coffin, there is a flower folded into black yarn, a large word "lay" in front, and white lanterns and white flowers are hung around it. There is a pair of elegiac couplets hanging on both sides: the upper link: the crane has been driven with the cloud shadow, and the lower link: the sound of the juan is still cold with the moonlight, and everything looks solemn.

When the old man dies, the juniors wear linen and filial piety, and they are all particular. According to Dai Xiao's mark, you can know what the identity is at a glance.

The Liu family wore white coats up and down, and Yuhui had a sack on her head, and she knew it was her daughter-in-law at a glance.

Hong Ying insisted on putting a green jacket on her head, which was a sign of her daughter.

Liu Yongniang came over and said: Oh, A-Ying, I can't help it, I can't help it. You don't need to wear such a heavy filial piety, the Liu family owes you enough debts, how can you ask us to repay this debt?

Hong Ying said with tears in her eyes: If you don't dislike me, I am your daughter, and in the future, I will accompany you to old age.

Liu Yongniang also said with tears in her eyes: Thanks to your filial piety, the two of us have no daughter in our lives, and we look forward to having a good daughter like you.

Hong Ying hugged Liu Yongniang and said: Mom, Hong Ying is your daughter.

The two voices burst into tears.

As the saying goes: "The full moon is full of Lao Tzu, condolences and hang sons." It means that the full moon of the child is the face of Lao Tzu, and when the old man dies, the people who come to mourn are the face of the son.

The next day, the neighbors came to mourn, the Zhang family, the Pang family, the Qiu family, the Xing family, the Jin family, and Song Hongsheng...... Wait, those who are close to each other, Liu Huanzhang's friends who were friendly and retained during his lifetime are here.

Gu Fuchang also came and bowed three times in front of Liu Huanzhang's coffin.

Liu Yong kept kneeling on one side to express his bow.

Gu Fuchang pulled up Liu Yong and said: The virtuous nephew's day is by the way. Your father was honest and honest all his life, loyal and honest, kind to others, and had no quarrel with the world, which was respectable and respectable.

At this time, someone came in to report: My father-in-law is here, my father-in-law is here.

It was Shen Yonglin, the biological father of Boss Tan and Yuhui, who came in.

It is the highest etiquette for in-laws to come to their homes to mourn.

Suddenly, the band sounded, and the women cried.

Boss Tan and Shen Yonglin respectively put various offerings in front of the coffin, bowed three times, and put on three sticks of incense.

After a while, Yuhui came to Boss Tan and his father Shen Yonglin, took their hands and said: My daughter is unfilial, and she hasn't come to visit you for a long time. He also said to Shen Yonglin: Seeing that her father is much older, her daughter is really sad.

Shen Yonglin said: It's always normal, but the body is quite tough. You also have a lot of things to do at home, and there are children and the elderly to take care of, and Ah Yong is busy, I don't blame you. I've got enough money for the money you've been sending me so often.

Yuhui said: After the old man dies, you will stay here for a few days.

Shen Yonglin said: I am used to living in the countryside, the air is good, I can walk away, and sometimes I have to go to the field to touch it.

For two whole days, the people who came to Liu's house to mourn continued continuously. The sound of wooden fish and the chanting of monks resounded three miles away.

Anyone who comes will cry, so Yuhui and Hong Ying's Shuangzi are crying hoarsely.

On the morning of the third day, the time for the funeral arrived.

The host asked Liu Yong to climb the coffin and knocked on a descendant nail, and someone hugged Dongmei and Qiumei and knocked it too.

Dongmei and Qiumei knocked on the nails of their children and grandchildren, and several aunts who watched the excitement on the side were muttering in private.

One said: Alas, it's a pity, such a family as the Liu family doesn't have a grandson.

One said: "Grandchildren are not all the same."

One said: The children and grandchildren should be knocked by their grandchildren, and women always have to get married, and when they are 100 years old, they are also people's.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The above conversation happened to be overheard by Yuhui. She felt a sense of guilt that she was also in debt to the Liu family. So, holding the coffin, he cried: Father-in-law, I can't stand you, it's my debt to the Liu family. You want to bless the Liu family, you want the Liu family to have a full house of children and grandchildren!

Or Hong Ying forced Yuhui away and said: Sister, on this occasion, does it make sense for you to say such things?
