Chapter 92: Min'a's Grandpa Passed Away (5)
After the meal, the servants neatly put away the dishes and chopsticks.
The stone walked in front of the old man's coffin and went to incense the old man.
He took three sticks of incense in his hand and attached them to the candle (the candle was inserted in the ashtray in front of the offering table) to "light incense".
Officer Wang leaned over to the stone and asked: Little master, now that the midwinter has passed, the spring is rippling, the weather is gradually warming, and the sun is still hanging in the sky today.
But?
Shi raised the incense, bowed three times to the mourning hall, and replied: Officer Wang doesn't have to think about it, Sister Erfeng is pregnant, and it is really inconvenient for them to come together.
Officer Wang argued: I can understand that the sister-in-law and the little lady are not coming, but Brother Tang ······
The stone put the incense into the ash basin and interrupted: Officer Wang doesn't know, my father hates dealing with these dignitaries the most.
So, my dad didn't come.
Officer Wang exhaled deeply and muttered: The villain still thinks ······
"Officer Wang thinks why!" The stone continued:
Officer Wang called: The villain thought that Brother Tang "refused to let go" because of the foolish things that the villain had done before.
Shi said: Officer Wang, Sister Erfeng and Min'er became sisters this morning, we belong to a family, those unhappy things in the past, let's let it float out of the clouds, let it pass away with the wind.
"Yes, let it go with the wind." Officer Wang replied:
Officer Wang continued: Since the villain was born, he didn't believe in any "benevolence" in the world at all! I only know that "the strong are kings, and the losers are cowards"!
For this reason, the villain quarreled with the old man many times.
After knowing the little master, seeing the true feelings of the little master for my father, and seeing the villain's dependence on the little master, the villain's thousands of thoughts have been reversed, and what the villain did before is indeed despicable.
It's a pity, my dad!
As he spoke, Officer Wang failed to hold back his tears, and the tears flowed "heavily".
The stone said: Officer Wang mourns, Officer Wang can wake up from his grief, it is a great joy, the stone believes! Grandpa knows underground, and he will be happy about it.
Officer Wang wiped his tears and thanked: Thank you for your enlightenment!
"Little master, please go over there and sit there!" Officer Wang asked:
Stone asked: When is Grandpa going to be buried?
Officer Wang glanced at the stone and said, "The little lord will bury him when he says he will be buried!"
Shi Gang wanted to accuse Officer Wang, but not only swallowed his words back, but also said: As the saying goes, "no funeral at noon", let's set the time for the funeral at the beginning.
Officer Wang said: The little lord is a god, and the time of the funeral said by the little lord is "inconsistent" with the time pushed by Mr. Geography invited by the villain.
Shi Yingdao: It's not surprising, these are the customs of the countrymen.
Officer Wang said: The little master is still smart, and the villain is dozens of years old - I have never heard of it.
Stone Road: It's almost time now!
"Yes, yes, a quarter of an hour is still in the morning." Officer Wang looked at his watch and continued:
The gongs and drums at the "Ping Pong" scene are getting louder and louder.
The bailiff officer shouted: "Brothers, be in good spirits, everyone has begun to get on the ox (the wooden pole that carries the coffin)!"
The stone turned his head and knelt under the mourning hall.
Officer Wang went to hold the old man's spiritual seat with both hands.
The cries, shouts, and all kinds of noises at the scene became a scene.
More than a dozen people in front of them walked slowly forward with couplets and wreaths.
Officer Wang took his family and followed the wreath.
Then, there was a burst of shouts, shouting: Go!
"Papapa, pa······"
Officer Wang and the children couldn't walk a few steps, and knelt in front of the coffin again - kowtowing.
After tossing for a while, everyone arrived at their destination.
Everyone put the old man's coffin by the well (the pit where the dead were buried).
Min'er lay down in front of the well, crying silently.
Yu's mother squeezed in front of Min'er, and pulled Min'er up with both hands, "Miss, don't be so sad, you beware of crying, the old man has arrived in heaven, he will bless the eldest lady with good health and happiness." ”
Min'er crawled straight to the coffin and cried: Grandpa, you are gone, what should I do! What to do!
Mother Li stretched out her hand to help Min'er and persuaded: Miss, the old man has gone, everyone is very sad.
However, sooner or later, people have this day.
Let alone! The old man has passed the age of not being confused, he has a filial son, a sensible granddaughter, and so many younger generations······
Min'er stopped crying and stood up with Li's mother.
"Please go down to the well to pick up money (loose mud in the well)!" The bailiff asked:
The second, third, and fourth ladies went down the well, and each grabbed a handful of dirt and put it on his filial piety clothes.
They climbed around the well in a circle, and then climbed up one by one.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh ladies jumped down one after another.
The bailiff officer shouted: "The auspicious time has come, and the burial has begun."
The fifth, sixth, and seventh ladies climbed up in a panic.
The fifth lady was the first to climb the well.
The Seventh Lady is struggling to climb up.
Suddenly, the seventh lady and the sixth lady fell into the well together.
The two men lay in the well, each touching his waist, and exclaimed, "Ah!
Seeing this, Officer Wang got up and jumped into the well.
"Oops! My feet. ”
Officer Wang asked, "Sixth, what's wrong with your feet?"
"You've stepped on my foot!" The Sixth Lady cried:
Officer Wang removed his feet and dragged the sixth lady with both hands.
The Seventh Lady grabbed Officer Wang with one hand and stood up, and said, "Xianggong, you only care about your sister, and you don't care about me at all."
Officer Wang replied: Me!
The Seventh Lady turned around and climbed up angrily.
"Oops!" The Sixth Lady screamed again and again.
Officer Wang reacted and hurried to help Mrs. Liu.
The bailiff stood by the well and asked, "Big brother, do you want to help?"
Officer Wang asked rhetorically: Has the auspicious time passed?
The bailiff replied: "Big brother, don't worry! The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and we will have to wait a little longer.
The sixth lady pulled Officer Wang to stand up and cried: "The surname is Fa, you are a person, it is not yet time, what is your name!" Got my ass, my waist, my feet, I was all guilty.
The bailiff replied: Yes, yes, yes, the villain is guilty, the villain shouldn't shout, the villain has caused the sixth lady to be so bad!
Officer Wang called: Hurry up!
The sixth lady limped to the corner of the well.
She wiped away her tears and climbed up the edge of the well with both hands.
Officer Wang followed behind the sixth lady's ass and pushed hard.
The bailiff walked over to the Sixth Lady and stretched out his hand to pull the Sixth.
The Sixth Lady grabbed the bailiff's wrist.
The bailiff took advantage of the situation.
The Sixth Lady went to the top of the well.
She stomped her foot, slapped the bailiff officer, and scolded: You are warm, it's not good that "Grandma" doesn't beat you today.
The bailiff officer held his head in his hands and crouched there motionless.
The sixth lady slapped the bailiff's head with both hands.
"Stop, what day is it! You're making a fuss here, what kind of system are you doing! Officer Wang jumped up the well and shouted:
The sixth lady stepped back whimsically, muttering: Who told him to be blind!
Mother Li came over and said, "Young master, it's time for the burial."
The bailiff picked up his watch and looked at it, and it was exactly 14 o'clock.
Officer Wang shouted: Brother Fa, it's 14 o'clock.
The bailiff went over and grabbed a big rooster and whispered: The old man has returned to the west, and now he lives here, bless the eldest brother's family with "good health and good health, and money comes to rice." ”
Then, he chopped the chicken's neck and threw the chicken down the well.
A policeman set off a string of firecrackers, and the firecrackers were thrown on the chicken, which ran around in fright.
In the end, the chickens were so frightened that they tried their best to die.
The bailiff shouted: "Brothers, work hard, everyone put the coffin in the well."
Officer Wang immediately drilled to the well and "knelt down".
The policemen "boomed", and the old man's coffin went to the top of the well.
In each of the wells are four calves (fist-sized pieces of wood).
Little by little, the police lowered the coffin.
The coffin falls on top of the calf.
Then, the group untied the thick rope and hemp rope that trapped the coffin.
Several policemen supported the calf and dragged it out in turns.
The coffin slides down rhythmically.
The coffin slipped to the bottom of the well.
The bailiff shouted, "Everyone, help the old man cover the roof!"
The policemen kept shoveling dirt and dumping into the well.
The front of the well was full of kneeling people, and the mourning was intermittent.
The policemen filled in the wells and piled up the old man's grave.
A policeman re-lit a string of firecrackers "crackling"
The bailiff officer laid out wreaths and couplets, and pleased: Please mourn on the big brother's day! Please mourn the little Lord's Day! Please mourn all sisters-in-law! Please mourn the ladies and ladies!
Li's mother stretched out her hand to rub the stone.
Shi stood up, patted his knee, and thanked: Thank you, Mama Li!
"Officer Wang, ladies and sisters, get up!" The stone turned and called:
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.
The servants went to help their masters.
The guests chattered to each other one sentence on the left and one on the right, and the audience became very noisy.
The bailiff officer shouted: Distinguished guests, distinguished guests, the old man has been buried, I wish the filial family many sons and many blessings, smooth and prosperous, and I also wish everyone good health and good luck······
"My father has gone up the mountain properly, Wang's hanging heart has finally fallen to the ground, and in the past few days, I have bothered everyone, if it weren't for everyone!" Officer Wang bowed to everyone.
Everyone said to each other: Director Wang is polite! Director Wang is polite!
The stone leaned into Officer Wang's ear and said, "Grandpa is buried, let's go back—let's talk about it."
Officer Wang replied: Okay.
"My father has been buried, so go home!" Officer Wang continued:
Hearing this, everyone scrambled to their way home.
The bailiff took a shovel, picked up a bundle of sesame stalks and a gong, and shouted, "Go home!"
Officer Wang led the family to follow the bailiff.
Every now and then, the bailiff struck the gong.
In the blink of an eye, Officer Wang and the others returned home.
Officer Wang placed the old man's spiritual seat, and then walked out of the living room.
Standing in the middle of the garden, he exclaimed, "Distinguished guests, brothers, relatives and friends, you have been busy all morning, and after you have finished your meal, we will talk again."
The servants were busy serving the meal.
Officer Wang gathered around the table and asked, "Little master, County Magistrate Hu, Mayor Hao, please!"
County Magistrate Hu replied: Director Wang, please!
The stone bowed, "County Magistrate Hu has worked hard, Mayor Hao has worked hard."
Mayor Hao saluted: The little lord and Officer Wang "saluted" back and forth, which is really hard.
Officer Wang said: Speaking of this, the villain is full of emotion, the villain is the son of the old man, but he has not made the old man comfortable, the old man's smile is also a smile is not smiling, since the old man met the little master, the old man smiled very happily, and the smile on his face was more, the villain's gratitude to the little master - beyond words, the villain will be the saddle before and after the horse, only obey.
County Magistrate Hu praised: The little lord is sincere and not pretentious at all, which is really admirable.
The stone argued: County Magistrate Hu has won the award! The stone is still young, and there are many things that have not been taken into account, and I hope you will bear with me!
County Magistrate Hu and Mayor Hao Qi said: The little lord is too humble! The little lord is too humble!
The stone called: Officer Wang is too serious! The stone doesn't want you to saddle up the horse, let alone count on you - only obey, the stone only wants you to treat everything sincerely and sincerely, what the stone does is only a matter of duty, and Officer Wang does not have to keep it in mind all the time.
"Young master, you have called the masters to dine!" Yu Ma says:
Officer Wang suddenly said: All morning in the mountains, everyone's stomach is already hungry!
County Magistrate Hu replied: No, no, no.
Officer Wang asked: County Magistrate Hu, Little Lord, Mayor Hao, please use the rank!
Shi continued: Officer Wang, you can eat too.
Officer Wang shouted, "Brother Law, you can eat together!"
The bailiff grabbed the wine bottle with both hands, went to help the rank sift the wine, and replied: Big brother is at his own convenience, big brother is at his own convenience.
Officer Wang stood up and shouted: "Everyone, the old man was able to go up the mountain smoothly today, and I thank all the brothers for their great help!" Thank you to all your family and friends - send it off sincerely! I have nothing to thank you all! Only coarse tea and light rice, add a glass of thin wine to toast everyone, I wish you a new year, a new atmosphere, and good luck all year long······
"Big brother, it." The bailiff sifted a full glass of wine and exclaimed:
Officer Wang raised his glass and asked, "Please!" Everyone, please!
Everyone drank one after another.
Stone picked up his glass and took two sips.
Immediately after, he drank two glasses of wine.
His cheeks flushed rapidly.
County Magistrate Hu raised his glass and boasted: The little master is powerful, let's drink it again.
The stone waved his hand and said: The kindness of County Magistrate Hu, the stone is in his heart, and the stone can no longer be drunk.
Officer Wang continued: The little master really can't drink anymore, and the little brother will accompany County Magistrate Hu to have a few more drinks.
County Magistrate Hu smiled: Okay, good, good, I'll have a few drinks with Director Wang, and I wish Director Wang to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and the word "Fu" will be the first in the coming year, and go to a higher level······
"Director Wang, I'll have a few drinks with you too." Mayor Hao shouted:
Shi Lidao: County Magistrate Hu, Mayor Hao, Officer Wang, Officer Bailiff, you drink here, the head of the stone is a little swollen, and the stone goes back first.
County Magistrate Hu said: Little master, you drink a cup of tea to refresh yourself.
Shi replied: I'll just go back to sleep.
Officer Wang called: "Little master, you go to sleep in the villain's room."
Shi replied: No need, I'll go home.
Officer Wang replied: "Little master, if you leave now!" How can you rest assured that the villain is called!
The stone pointed to Aunt Ju and said, "I'll go with Auntie."
Officer Wang understood the personality of the stone, bowed and said, "Little master, then pay attention on the road!"
The stone faced everyone and said: County Magistrate Hu, Mayor Hao, Officer Wang, Officer Bailiff, ladies and wives, brothers and sisters, everyone eat slowly, the stone is a little dizzy, and the stone is less accompanied.
Everyone said together: Little master go slowly! Walking!
Aunt Ju walked slowly with the stone on her feet······
