But in accordance with local customs, Lin Liu spent money to hire someone to tie a sedan chair, invited a suona performance team, wore linen and filial piety, and guarded the spirit of the second grandmother.

On the third day of the funeral, the suona looked up to the sky and seemed to cry, and the willows howled. Almost the whole village came to the funeral. The memorial text written by Lin Liu last night was originally intended to be read by someone on his behalf, but he felt that the person he was looking for might not be able to express his feelings, so he decided to read it himself. In fact, Lin Liu read it in a voice that seemed to read and sing, which was sincere, tear-jerking, and full of sighs on the street. The text is as follows:

On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, Lin Liu prepared the ritual of three animals, knelt down in front of the spirit of the second grandmother and cried:

The second grandmother was born in a famous family, and since she was suitable for my house, she has been filial to her in-laws, her husband and children, and she is in Yifan Township. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, young children die, and husbands die in mourning. The second grandmother is young and widowed, there are no close relatives within the five suits, lonely and miserable, green lights and cold windows, standing alone, hanging from each other. When Lin Liu was young, he lost the love of his parents, but fortunately his second grandmother helped him and survived the bitter cold years. The second grandmother raises hens and accumulates eggs, all of which are given to Linliu for exclusive enjoyment. The second grandmother sewed a tiger head hat and gave it to Linliu to keep out the cold. The second grandmother is like a reborn parent, Lin Liusheng is regarded as a cow, and death is a grass, and she cannot repay the deep kindness of Haitian. When the second grandmother was dying, Lin Liu did not guard her side, feeling guilty day and night, and she couldn't sleep at night. Today, on the day of the third day, the day of the twilight, Linliu wears linen and filial piety, and sends the second grandmother a ride. Heaven is very far away, there is a lot of wind and cold all the way, Linliu can't accompany all the way, and the second grandmother takes care. Lin Liu looked up to the sky and cried, shouting the second grandmother, can you agree? Life and death, Lin Liu is sad, if the second grandmother has a spirit in the sky, she must often enter Lin Liu's dream. Woohoo lament, feast.

Hundreds of people at the funeral were all in tears, and some of them wept loudly. The chief deacon (the person in charge of the funeral) was originally a steel man, and he was also moved. Lin Liu's mother Xinghua, hiding her face and crying, and then returned home, was she suddenly aroused guilt in her heart? Lin Liu, a good woman with a true temperament, a good woman with a true loyalty, and a good woman with a sincere heart. At this time, I don't know who took the lead, and all the funeral people knelt in front of the coffin of the second grandmother, which was an unprecedented phenomenon in the village. A lonely old woman is no less worshiped at the funeral than any family full of children and grandchildren.

The second grandmother is in the ground. The village has returned to peace, but the deeds of Linliu have spread all over the country, so that no one mentions the village's real name, and it is called Linliu Village by the people outside the village.

Back at her mother-in-law's house, her mother-in-law rolled her eyes at Lin Liu and said, "What are you trying to do with a lonely old grandmother and wear filial piety, and build things?" Are you stupid or not? ”

People who are not on the same level can't communicate at all, so Lin Liu chose to be silent and went back to the house to see the children.

Afterwards, the village committee held a meeting, and the village chief asked everyone to discuss a question: Lin Liu is so grateful to the second grandmother, which is commendable, but the reform of red and white affairs, everything is simple, Lin Liu mourned the second grandmother, and it was so grand, should it be stopped? Or is it advocating?

After discussion, in the end, everyone unanimously praised Linliu's approach and spirit.
