These hooligans whistled and gossip, Zhao Yunfei heard them all, and the young man's footsteps slowly froze, and he was about to turn around......

Li Lanfang knew that his fire was coming, so she hurriedly reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing Li Lanfang's scared and embarrassed expression, Zhao Yunfei's pair of fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally took a deep breath, thinking that the Xu family was doing a funeral, if he had a big fight here, it would be inappropriate, bear with it first.

Zhao Yunfei continued to walk forward, and walked towards the gate of the Xu family with Li Lanfang.

The white flower banner is hung at the door, and from the number of the soul flags, you can know that the deceased died young, and if you live to the end of your life at the age of seventy or eighty, the white paper strips on the soul banner will not seem so pitiful.

In the courtyard, the wire tied between the two crooked old elm trees was covered with black curtains, and all the curtains were pinned with white notes with tacks, on which were written the names of the people who sent the curtains and their relationship with the deceased.

Behind the curtains are paper horses, paper people, paper cars, paper TVs and other paper work, which are burned when they are buried.

The three northern rooms of the Xu family are already in ruins, but fortunately, there are still things to match, and Xu Xianglin's parents, wife and children will not have a place to live.

A mourning shed was set up in front of the ruins, and a large black coffin was placed in the mourning shed, which was originally prepared by Xu Xianglin for his parents, but he didn't expect it to be used by himself first.

The inside of the coffin is actually an urn, and the rural customs that have been passed down for thousands of years are not easy to change, and it would be a joke to bury only one urn.

Zhao Yunfei walked to the front of the coffin and saw a piece of felt on the ground, which was used to make the juniors kneel on it and kowtow, because Zhao Yunfei and Xu Xianglin were equals, he called Xu Xianglin the eldest brother, and he had no kinship, so he didn't need to kneel down and kowtow, he squatted in front of the coffin and howled a few times: "Big brother, big brother, brother sent you money......

For funerals like this, according to rural customs, unmarried women who are not directly related by blood cannot burn paper, and there is no help, the reason why Li Lanfang wants to follow Zhao Yunfei is to see how Zhao Yunfei cries, and when she heard Zhao Yunfei's dry howl at this time, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Yunfei finished howling, took out the paper money from the plastic bag, and there was a clay pot for burning paper in front of the coffin, and there was a lighter next to the clay pot.

Kneeling on the left side of the coffin are Xu Xianglin's nephews, and kneeling on the right side of the coffin are the younger daughters.

The prime minister who was in charge next to him persuaded: "Okay, it's okay to cry twice, Yunfei didn't contribute less when the accident happened that day, Xianglin's wife and children were all dragged out of the fire by Yunfei, and they are worthy of Xianglin." ”

Zhao Yunfei burned the paper money, stood up, the people on both sides of the coffin kowtowed again, and Zhao Yunfei hugged his fists on both sides of the coffin and returned the salute slightly.

Li Lanfang saw that Zhao Yunfei did this set of things naturally, and she admired it very much, at least Han Tuo couldn't do this.

Thinking of Han Tuo, she stretched her neck to look for the shadow of this kid, but saw that he was in the greenhouse at the south end of the yard, sitting on a small bench under his buttocks, holding a handful of celery in his hand and choosing vegetables there.

Rural weddings and funerals, including the full moon for children, these funerals and happy events are big things for the people in the village, and it is very cumbersome to do, where to build a shed, where to set up a stove, who is responsible for bookkeeping, who is responsible for the kitchen, who is responsible for the warehouse, the arrangement of various matters, the assignment of personnel, supervision, etc., these things need to be presided over by a person in charge, the rural people call it the prime minister, the prime minister must have prestige, can roar people, can calm people, and must be able to arrange things, there are things that the master can't make up his mind, but also help to make up ideas- It's not a job that anyone can do.

The prime minister of the Xu family's funeral is Zhao Yunfei's distant uncle and brother, named Zhao Honghong, the second in line, is a bricklayer head, and usually takes a small team of contractors to build houses for others.

"Second brother works hard!" When Zhao Yunfei was crying just now, Zhao Honghong persuaded him twice, Zhao Yunfei admitted his feelings, turned around and greeted Zhao Honghong.

In the funeral in the countryside, there are those who cry, and there are also those who are persuaded, and there are also those who make them bad, deliberately not persuaded, and the people who cry for a long time see that no one persuades them, so they have to continue to cry, but no one persuades them, and in the end they have to end up by themselves, but in that case, they will look faceless.

"Yunfei can now open a door!" Zhao Hongli looked at Zhao Yunfei and said with a smile.

Zhao Yunfei laughed twice when he heard this, and didn't say anything else.

After Zhao Hongli and Zhao Yunfei finished speaking, they turned around and walked to the gate, only to hear him shout: "You people are here to watch singing and dancing, why don't you go, Ergou, go and set a table for me, it's time to start the banquet, Dongzi, me, go find me a basket, and prepare to make steamed buns......"

Although Zhao Honghong scolded him, the person who arranged the work would give him a box of cigarettes, of course, these cigarettes were prepared by the owner's family and were freely disposed of by the prime minister.

These people took cigarettes, and they were all happy to do what they should do.

Zhao Yunfei went to the West House, Xu Xianglin's father and mother were lying on the kang, on a hot day, and their bodies were covered with broken quilts.

The loss of a son in old age is a big tragedy in the world, the tears of the two old people have long been crying dry, lying there with their eyes closed, the father is silent, but the mother is humming and chattering in her mouth, just like a nervous situation, there are a few relatives sitting on the edge of the kang to accompany the old couple, for fear that they will not be able to think of looking for a short time.

"Yunfei is here......" Someone in the room greeted Zhao Yunfei.

"Uncle, uncle, aunt......" Zhao Yunfei also greeted the elders he knew.

When Xu Xianglin's father heard that Zhao Yunfei was coming, he opened his dim eyes, turned his head to look at Zhao Yunfei with great effort, stretched out a dry old hand, and shouted, "Yunfei, eldest nephew ......"

Zhao Yunfei hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old man's hand and shouted, "Uncle......" I don't know what words to say to comfort.

"Big nephew, I should kowtow to you......" said the old man in a trembling voice.

Zhao Yunfei sat on the edge of the kang with his father's hand, and said, "Uncle, don't be like this, take care of your body, you still have a mess at home." ”

"The child and daughter-in-law live in the hospital, it's no big deal, the hospital has waived the medical expenses, and we have to give our family subsidies, I have heard that you solved it for the town officials you found, so how can my family thank you......" Dad said, squeezing out a few more muddy tears.

Zhao Yunfei said: "How can I have such a great ability, I am the heart and eye of the official......"

Dad said: "The heart of the official is good, and you are good, I know it in my heart, and I know it all...... After a while, you'll be seated and then ......."

Zhao Yunfei sat out of the West House for a while, came to the East House, the account room was located in the East House, a long table was placed at the door, there was a large plate of melon seeds and two cups of tea on the table, and there were two people sitting behind the table, one was the gentleman who was responsible for writing the accounts, and the other was the accountant who was responsible for counting the money and collecting the accounts, and the account clerk was Dr. Han who treated the pigs, Zhao Yunfei stepped forward to say hello, took out twenty yuan and handed it to the collector, and Dr. Han took a brush to write Zhao Yunfei's name and the amount of money in the account book.

Zhao Yunfei turned around and came out of the account room, Li Lanfang was still standing at the bottom of the steps watching the crying people, and when they saw Zhao Yunfei coming out, the two came to the south under the shed to find Han Tuo.

Han Tuo had already finished selecting celery at this time, there was a big aluminum basin in front of him, and he was breaking cauliflower flowers into the pot, when he saw Zhao Yunfei and Li Lanfang coming over, he squeezed his eyes at the two of them, reached out and took out something from his trouser pocket, and mysteriously only took out half of it for Zhao Yunfei and Li Lanfang to see.

Li Lanfang saw it and shouted, "Okay, you also learn to smoke now!"

Han Tuo smiled proudly and said: "If a man doesn't smoke, he will be in the world, and if a man doesn't drink, he will walk in the world." ”

Li Lanfang pursed her lips and said, "You just smoke, see if I don't tell your father." ”

"Cut," Han Tuo stiffened his neck, looked indifferent, and said, "Feel free to sue, my dad will throw me a cigarette when he is in a good mood, and the two of us will spit mist at the clouds." ”

"Hey, look at your ability......" Li Lanfang scoffed at him.

Han Tuo ignored Li Lanfang and said to Zhao Yunfei: "You and I are breaking cauliflower here, Zhao Hongli will come over and see it in a while, and he will definitely send you a box, what he has in his hand is a cigarette, and besides, he is still your second brother." ”

After listening to Han Tuo's words, Li Lanfang didn't say anything, but her small mouth pursed Lao Gao, she didn't want Zhao Yunfei to learn to smoke, her teeth and fingers were yellowed, and she still smelled of smoke, but it was inconvenient for people to talk here, so it was not good to oppose it directly.

Zhao Yunfei turned his head to look at Li Lanfang, who was puffing up, and said to Han Tuo: "In this way, I will send Xiaofang home first." ”

Han Tuo rolled his eyes and said, "She still needs to send it, and she can't lose it." ”

Zhao Yunfei was mainly worried that Wan Baoliang and those gangsters at the door were teasing Li Lanfang, but it was not easy to explain this to Han Tuo, this kid listened to the wind and rain, and he might dare to scream.

"I came back when I sent it to the mouth of the alley, and the yellow dog of Lao Fan's house in the back bit the street, and I was afraid of biting her. Zhao Yunfei made an excuse and said.

"Then hurry up. Han Tuo said.

Zhao Yunfei nodded in agreement, and walked out of the gate of the Xu family side by side with Li Lanfang.

The three girls on the stage were obviously not as hard as they sang just now, and the audience under the stage was now only some old and weak women and children, and the men were all called by Zhao Honghong to work.

Li Lanfang wanted to watch it for a while, but as soon as she thought of Wan Baoliang, she immediately lost her mood, afraid that Zhao Yunfei would meet him again and have a conflict.

As soon as the two of them turned into the alley from the street, a person suddenly flashed out behind the telephone pole at the mouth of the alley......

This person is none other than Wan Baoliang.
