When Yang Chengwen walked to the door of his uncle's house, a group of people were already waiting for him at the door.

When several township party members saw him, they quickly handed him a white filial piety hat, and then several people put a white filial piety dress on his body.

This kind of filial piety dress is very seen, it is a long strip of white cloth, with a hole cut in the middle, and it can be put directly on the head, and finally tied up with a strip of white cloth on the waist.

According to the customs of their Yangzhuang, the people who are running away to mourn should be crying or mourning when they arrive at the door.

In the end, the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, the kind that several big men couldn't help up.

There was still a howl in his mouth: Alas, Uncle Odi, why are you just leaving, why don't you wait for me......

Of course, the average man is still more restrained. Women have always been able to interpret this tradition to the fullest.

After Yang Chengwen put on his filial piety clothes, he was also sad, and tears couldn't help but flow.

Staggered to the mourning hall.

Kneeling in front of the mournful table with a sad face, they began to burn the dead coins according to their customs, then poured wine and offered tea, and finally put on three incense sticks, which was with the other filial relatives on the ground of the mourning hall.

The other filial relatives were tired, and although they were also sad, they couldn't see tears.

Because most of his grief has long been tossed away by tedious rituals.

Normally, when no one is around, they all sit on the straw mats on the ground of the mourning hall.

But when someone comes to pay respects, they have to kneel on the ground and cry, and they have to kowtow to express their gratitude.

Especially when my aunt came, they had to go to the entrance of the village to kneel down to greet them.

One person with a one-foot-three mourning stick, bent his body along the way, and walked forward, so that all filial piety relatives couldn't help but scold the feudal dross in their hearts.

Therefore, under the toss of this ritual, the only ones who can keep crying are the children of the deceased.

For the other Wufu nephews, it can only be said that there may be sadness.

When Yang Chengwen just sat on the straw mat, his cousin Yang Chengcai on the side asked, "Why did you come back from the capital, didn't I tell you not to come?" ”

This Yang Cheng is the boss of his uncle's family, and now he is in his early fifties.

Yang Chengwen glanced at his cousin and said, "I just happened to have a fake, so I came over."

Uncle, why is this so sudden? Didn't you write in July and say that it was okay? ”

Yang Chengcai shook his head and said, "After all, he is old. This body is not good in all aspects.

I drank two glasses of wine before going to bed the night before and never got up. ”

Yang Chengwen listened, and he didn't know what to say, but just patted his cousin's arm.

Cousin Yang Chengcai felt his comfort and squeezed out a smile.

said: "The old man has not lost anything in his life, and living to the age of 72 is considered an advanced age in our countryside."

You see that this great-grandson has hugged three, and this is also the same family for four generations.

And when he departed, he did not suffer any sin.

It's a joy and a mourning. ”

Yang Chengwen knew that what his cousin said was the truth. This situation is really a joy and sorrow in their rural areas.

The so-called joy and mourning is in line with most people's pursuit of the value of life.

The traditional concept of children and grandchildren is full, and people have it.

At the age of seventy-two, it was also a high life in the countryside in the 80s.

I didn't suffer from illness, I didn't be paralyzed and tossing my children in """"""" bed, who doesn't like this.

Therefore, the situation of Uncle Yang Chengwen is the envy of many old people in the village.

The filial relatives in the mourning hall were talking, mainly Yang Chengwen talking to some sisters and aunts who had not seen each other for many years.

And in the courtyard, the township party members who came to help were also discussing Yang Chengwen.

In their place, when the old man dies, the family members don't have to do anything else, just be filial piety and be responsible for crying.

The township party is responsible for entertaining filial piety guests; The excavation of the cemetery is the responsibility of the township party; It is still the responsibility of the township party to kill pigs and sheep.

In addition to paying for it, the other things the township party will do are very profitable.

In the final analysis, this Yangzhuang is a family, and these people who help are all clansmen except for Wufu.

The blood between everyone is far and near, and the relationship is close.

It's just that in this kind of thing, everything is blood-only. The mourning and filial piety inside the five suits, and the drinking and eating meat outside the five suits.

In the place where the sheep were slaughtered in the courtyard, there was a teenager who asked an old man of about sixty years old who was sitting beside them and commanding them:

"Uncle Lin, do you say that Brother Chengwen is really an official in the capital?"

After the young man finished speaking, a middle-aged man on the side knocked him on the head directly.

said: "What are you talking about. ”

"Uncle, Russia is just curious. Why did you say that Brother Chengwen became an official? ”

Seeing this, the old man on the side quickly knocked on the cigarette stick and said, "That's a long time."

Russia told you that it started more than 20 years ago.

Well, we don't have a train here yet. One year, two cadres came from the capital, saying that they wanted to build a railway for us.

That will be your brother Chengwen's father, and your Uncle Mancang is the village chief of our village.

……

Later, something happened to your Uncle Mancang.

The cadre from the capital asked you Brother Chengwen to kowtow to him and recognize the teacher.

In addition, your brother Chengwen himself is a scholar, so this official is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Then the old man named Youlin pointed to the sheep under his feet and said, "Speaking of which, Mancang is the benefactor of our whole village."

If it weren't for his insistence at that time, how could everyone dare to kill sheep and eat them now. ”

The young man was unimpressed when he heard this, and said: "There are five people in Uncle Lin, Brother O Chengcai's family is on the railway, and it is not trivial to eat a few sheep." ”

When the old man heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "These are all the credit of your Uncle Mancang."

When the railway was repaired, your Uncle Mancang took the young people in the village to help repair the railway.

Except for the time when the mountain collapsed and was replaced by family members who were buried underneath, everyone else became railroad workers in the back.

You must know that at that time, almost everyone who helped was there.

Now, more than 20 years have passed. Half of our family has a family, and some people work on the railway.

Do you want to thank you Uncle Mancang for this? ”

Young man, I suddenly understood why everyone used to help Yang Chengwen's family often.

He thought everyone was trying to slap him. Only then did I understand that it was to thank Uncle Mancang.

Seeing that this young man understood, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "So." You kid kind of got it.

We Qindi men, when did we tend to be inflammatory?

Even if that kid Chengwen is a big official, everyone has never eaten his noodles, all because everyone remembers your Uncle Mancang.

You Uncle Mancang, you can be said to be the best village chief in our Yangzhuang.

How far-sighted do you see?

If it weren't for your Uncle Mancang, do you think that kid would be able to become the first college student in our village? ”

This young man, for the first time, found out that the best person in their village was not Yang Chengwen, but Yang Chengwen's father.

The next day, the opening ceremony of Uncle Yang Chengwen's funeral was on the same day.

In the morning, when the director of the commune and the leaders of the county appeared at the head of the village, it caused a sensation in the village.

The village chief took several village cadres and prepared to entertain these leaders.

When they learned that these people had come to Yang Chengwen's house to mourn, everyone was also surprised.

They all know that Yang Chengwen is an official in the capital. But I didn't expect Uncle Yang Chengwen to die, and even the county leaders were shocked.

When the village cadres led the leaders to Yang Chengwen's uncle's house, they saw Yang Chengwen's lukewarm appearance towards these leaders.

The leaders of the county did not express any displeasure.

The hearts of the people really exclaimed.

To be honest, today these two levels of leadership are coming. It's just a rabbit with grass, and I just want to get acquainted with the Yang family.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengwen actually rushed over in person, which made them overjoyed.

I shouted in my heart, the real value of this time.

As for Yang Chengwen's attitude, they don't care whether it's good or not.

Besides, everyone is mourning, can they still smile at themselves?

It was just after these two people shook hands with Yang Chengwen that the village cadres who helped arranged people to the flowing water mat in the courtyard to eat.

A few more people walked in from the gate carrying wreaths, and when they looked up, they knew that they were not nearby villagers.

The villagers who helped had already passed the news to Yang Chengwen. Yang Chengwen knew that these people were coming, so he walked from the middle hall to the door.

I was also a little surprised when I saw each other.

said: "Secretary Zhang, why are you here too." ”

Then he looked at the other person and said, "This is not appropriate." ”

Zhang Wei said: "I happened to be on vacation today. I heard about it here, so I came and sat down. ”

When Yang Chengwen heard the other party's words, he was also a little helpless in his heart, so he had to nod.

Subsequently, some villagers took Zhang Wei to pay tribute.

Zhang Wei is Zhang Wei of the Xixing Road Bureau, originally he and Yang Chengwen belonged to the same level.

Therefore, when Uncle Yang Chengwen died, he would not be like this.

It's just that this Yang Chengwen is different from them after all. This person is Chief Yan's favorite apprentice, and he is the most liked by Chief Engineer Yan.

Therefore, Zhang Wei also gave in.

This person's situation is normal, normal, not chilling.

Then, everyone said yes.

Leaders of various sub-bureaus under the Xijing Road Bureau, various transportation courts, railway public security, and various sections have come continuously.

The leaders of the Huangyuan region have not been left behind.

The most active ones are the heads of those factories under the Xijing area of the ministry.

Others came, quite elegant, just with wreaths.

These are the factory directors, but they are arrogant. Not only with wreaths, but also with some supplies.

By noon, the threshing floor on the farm was already full of all kinds of carts.

There are jeeps, there are Shanghai cars, and there are some old cars.

These people all came to the Yang family to attend the funeral.

Yang Chengwen asked the township party responsible for presiding over the funeral to prepare mutton soup for everyone.

The people who came to help in Yangzhuang felt honored when they saw this scene.

Everyone is full of strength when they do their work.

Even on weekdays, the village men who are full of swear words either don't speak directly, or they are cautious for fear of losing their Yangzhuang people.

The old man in the village couldn't help but sigh directly: I have seen the world, I have really seen the world.

In my heart, I was full of envy for Yang Manquan, who was already lying on the ground.

I thought that I would die immediately, and if I could do this, it would be worth it.

For the people of the village, this kind of scene has never been heard in their lives.

On the threshing floor of the farm, a group of children are watching around the car. The children were as happy as if it was the New Year when they saw so many cars.

There are also special adults watching from the side, for fear that a child will accidentally break the car of other people's big people.

All this that happened today can be remembered by everyone for this small mountain village in the northwest.

Everyone couldn't help but have a hint of enlightenment in their hearts, and they should be like Yang Chengwen when they had children.

Gradually, I also germinated an idea in my heart to let my children study hard.

In this way, I can't say that I can enjoy this kind of grandeur after a hundred years.

Yang Chengwen himself would not have thought that because of this incident, their village began to pay attention to education.

In the afternoon, wreaths were being delivered.

The people in the village also began to fall silent when they saw the signatures of various units on the wreaths.

They have to admit one thing, Yang Chengwen is really out of luck.

Otherwise, there would not be so many units to send wreaths, and the wreaths were placed at the entrance of the village.

Yang Chengwen was very helpless about this matter.

He always felt in his heart that this was too flamboyant. This is not in line with Yan Jiecheng's principle of low-key development told him.

It's just that during this time, everyone learned that he would work in the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

So try to get as close to him as possible and get closer to him.

So personally, he really wanted to keep a low profile. I don't want to let these trivial things affect the development of his career.

It's just that sometimes, things backfire.

When these people come, he can't drive them out.

Human contacts, sometimes it's just so tormenting.

Maybe that's what everyone says.

Just today, at six o'clock in the morning, Yan Jiecheng had already packed up and was ready to go out.

The family sent him to the door, and they all looked at him, and everyone's eyes were full of light, as if they had many words, but they didn't say a word.

Yan Jiecheng got into the car and went in the direction of the city tower.

There were a lot of sentry posts and checks along the way.

There are local security departments, internal security departments, and some special departments.

When he arrived at the scene, Yan Xie Cheng saw that Li Chu had also arrived.

Today's Li Chu is wearing a new set of uniforms, and the style of small lapels is quite foreign.

Li Chu's figure is also very good, but he also has a heroic spirit.

When the two saw each other, they also looked at each other and smiled.

Yan Jiecheng took the initiative to speak: "Brother Li together." ”

Li Chu saw Yan Jiecheng's smile on his face, and he felt a little helpless.

He looked at Yan Jiecheng and always felt that this guy was screaming in front of him.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Li Chu felt that he might have to fight with this dog.

He was really dripping blood in his heart, after all, he had raised his daughter for more than 20 years, and he was deceived by the stinky boy of the Yan family.

Li Chu smiled stiffly and said, "Hehe, together." ”

The two of them looked very harmonious and walked all the way inside.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, it's a little awkward.
