Chapter 20: The Funeral

The eldest brother was out on a business trip, and there were no mobile phones in those days, and pagers were only valid in the city. Unable to contact.

Father, silently cleaning up his mother's body and dressing up, is a silent cry. Husband and wife are in love with each other, and they have never blushed in their lives. The father is responsible for earning money to support the family, and the mother is responsible for educating and taking care of the children at home.

Usually, the eldest brother is in charge of the external contact at home, but this time he is not at home.

Ask for leave from the unit, I said to my second brother. I'm in charge of calling relatives and friends to tell you to go shopping at the shroud shop. Remember to buy sugar and melon seeds.

There are black and white cloths in the cabinet at home, and your mother's old clothes, which she herself has prepared. My father tearfully confessed while giving us the money.

Glancing at my mother lying peacefully, my second brother and I still couldn't believe the fact that our mother was gone, and went out in tears.

Relatives and friends at home came to the door one after another. The mother was covered with a quilt and moved to the ground, and now she was put on the funeral bed. The sister-in-law entrusted her three-year-old nephew to her mother's house, silently stacking mille-feuille paper and gold ingots in front of the spirit.

The leaders and colleagues of the second brother's unit came to worship one after another. Sister Dong also came with my colleagues from my unit. and took the initiative to stay and help Zhang Luo up. I have to go and print more photos and build a mourning hall. You have to go to the street to open a death certificate, you have to go to your father's unit to apply for a wreath out of the funeral car, you have to go to the crematorium to contact the crematorium, you have to buy an urn, you have to estimate the number of people who go to the crematorium to hire a car, you have to find a good thank you banquet restaurant to order a good meal, see how many people there are, generally ten people a table, in the reservation of a table to prepare meals, do not do it at half price, do it on the normal payment, drinks and drinks must be prepared in advance with the hotel, each table must have tofu this dish. Sister Dong explained a lot in one go, and my second brother and I hurriedly recorded it. Take a long breath.

Steady. My mother worked hard all her life, and when she saw that her life was good, she left without enjoying the blessings. This last time, I must let my mother be as decent as possible.

Sister Dong came over every day, and took the initiative to help host the funeral farewell ceremony, and wrote a brief biography for her mother on the spot.

Our family doesn't know much about it, but it's good to follow it mechanically.

After the mother was cremated, she was stored in the funeral home, waiting for the eldest brother to come home for worship. At that time, my second brother and I were not able to Zhang Luo to bury my mother, so we could only wait for Qingming next year.

My father doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and when a person dies, he dies, and what happens after his death is meaningless.

On the morning of the seventh day of his mother's death, the eldest brother finally rushed home. He knelt in front of his mother's portrait and wept. Crying out of the endless sadness and helplessness in my heart.

Mom is the backbone of the family, and we all love to talk to my mother about family affairs and listen to her advice. When she was young, she rarely forced us to do things, but only gave her analysis of the pros and cons, and gave her advice, so that we could learn to make independent decisions and solve problems independently. She said that she was not in good health and did not know when she would leave, and that we had to learn to take care of ourselves, so she could leave at ease. In a word, it is a word.

The eldest brother said that on the morning of his mother's death, he suddenly stepped on, and he felt that something was going to happen, so he spent the day carefully. But I didn't expect my mother to have an accident at home. After all, before he went out, he saw that his mother was in a stable state. The eldest brother was annoyed and blamed himself.

Brother, in fact, the afternoon you left, my mother suddenly got worse. On the morning of the third day, I was better, I ate half a bowl of porridge, and my consciousness was clear, and I thought I had survived another level.

It was a resurgence, and our family didn't want to believe it. The second brother added. Mom,Walk very steadily.,Go in your sleep.,I didn't suffer when I came.。。

Everything is fate! Brother, don't be sad, it's okay, my second brother and I are around, and I didn't help much. I then reassured.

The deceased has passed away, we must live well and live up to our mother's good intentions.
