Xu Mengya and Li su'e were also puzzled. "I didn't hear that someone was ill. Is it an emergency? Xiao Lin, go to the village and see what's going on. "
When someone died in the village, each family had to send someone to help. It's the rule of the village, whether close or distant. Of course, except for the bitter and deep hatred.
Xu Heng Lu is old, and no one will argue with her if she doesn't go. Li su'e is a widow, and she didn't fit in the past.
Now Xu Mengya is Hu Xiaolin's fiancee, and Li su'e is ostensibly the accountant of mushroom brand agricultural products company. Hu Xiaolin has to go there.
When he came to the street in the village, Hu Xiaolin asked someone, and then he learned that Ren Yunqiao, the mother of boss Wang, had passed away. The old lady is ninety-three this year. According to the rules, it's a funeral.
Boss Wang and Peng kuohai live in the same alley.
When Hu Xiaolin and several villagers came here, a wooden pole had been buried on the right side of the entrance to the alley, and on it hung a banner made of white paper. This is used to summon souls. It means that the soul should not leave home, because the filial son and the virtuous grandson have not been sent away.
China is a country with vast territory and abundant resources, and its funeral customs are different. In some places, the banners are painted with white cloth; in Qiaogou Town, the banners are tied into towers with paper strips and hung on wooden poles.
Seeing Hu Xiaolin, the villagers who had already arrived said hello one after another. Hu Xiaolin has an orderly response, but also a few polite words with them. When I saw Chen Yunfeng appear, I said hello to him again.
While they were chatting, Peng kuohai came out of the Hutong, looked at Hu Xiaolin and said, "Xiaolin, how did you come here? The Shuxiang brothers have come. "
"My father is my father, and I am my father. Besides, I should come here, too. After all, grandfather Xu is old. " Hu Xiaolin said.
"For the next generation, no one can compare with Xiaolin just in terms of their ability to make money. By the way, there's the crazy boy Several elder men in the village praised one after another.
Seeing that Hu Xiaolin didn't mean to leave, Peng kuohai nodded, waved his hand and said, "let's stop talking, please. The women in the clan have already helped the old lady to wear mourning clothes. You can go and have a look. "
"Uncles, please come in." Hu Xiaolin didn't go ahead because he didn't have a big career in mushroom village. In the countryside, don't think that if you have money, you can have everything. If you don't respect the old and young, no one will take you seriously. Because even if you have a lot of money, you have nothing to do with big guys.
Big guy don't care about you, earn less, can come to the aboveboard, spend heart comfortable.
"Xiao Lin, you have to go ahead, please!" Yang Dingwu, who has a great reputation in mushroom village, drags Hu Xiaolin to the front.
"Uncle Wu, you don't have time to have fun!" Hu Xiaolin quickly stepped back two steps.
"Hey, uncle, I'm not kidding you. You are indeed young and have little seniority. You can make a great contribution to our village. In the future, you have to go ahead when there are such red and white affairs. If you dare to be lazy, I'll go to your father and say Yang Dingwu also asked people around him to stop Hu Xiaolin for fear that he might run away.
Isn't that what you're trying to do?
Hu Xiaolin couldn't beat them. He laughed bitterly before walking side by side with Yang Dingwu.
Just after walking into the yard, Wang, wearing a hat, a belt and white trousers and shoes, quickly came up and said, "brother Dingwu, uncle Jianxing, Xiao Lin, brother Guodong, uncle Haiqiang, please come here."
Wang's name is Wang Honghe. He is Wang's elder brother. The order of his greeting was according to the prestige and age of the people in the village. Li Guodong and Liu Haiqiang are behind Hu Xiaolin because they are too poor and have no temper. But the character is good.
After chatting a few words, Hu Xiaolin said: "Uncle Honghe, after the new year, we'll wait for the result. I'll find a relationship and get the fourth uncle out. "
"Xiao Lin, it's not your fault. He deserved it when old four went in. He killed himself. My mother is gone now, but when my mother was alive, he was caught. My mother didn't say anything, let alone let me go to you. Old four has never done a boastful thing in his life. It's just right to lock him in and take care of him. " Wang Honghe reached out and motioned to stop Hu Xiaolin.
Yang Dingwu came out in a hurry and said, "Xiao Lin, brother Honghe, this matter has been exposed. Old four came out. If we go on the right road, we'll be happy for him. If you still don't rely on the spoon, let's not fight with him
"Brother Dingwu is right." Wang Honghe said seriously.
Hu Xiaolin is not a hypocritical person either. He said, "Uncle Honghe, if you have anything to do in the future, just say it directly. I'm sorry we're all from one village. "
"Cheng, you're welcome." Wang Honghe said that and exchanged greetings with the crowd. Next, Yang Dingwu asked how Ren Yunqiao died.
"I have the habit of taking a nap. I've had enough for lunch, but I didn't see anyone. After breakfast this morning, the old lady will have chicken soup. We stewed one at noon, my mother ate a chicken leg and a chicken wing, and drank a bowl and a half of chicken soup. My mother's clothes were prepared five years ago and have been put in her cupboard. We've checked it before, and there's no damage. " Wang Honghe said."The old lady should have left peacefully." Yang Dingwu said.
This is the last time to go inside!
"Everyone, please come in." Wang Honghe quickly put a please sign and led the people into the hall.
Wearing mourning clothes, Ren Yunqiao lies on the bed made of benches and wooden boards, with a very peaceful face.
"The old lady's life is not easy, and she doesn't suffer when she leaves." Yang Dingwu said.
"Yes! All that should be paid back! I've enjoyed all the blessings I deserve Li Jianxing said.
After a look, the crowd left. Wang Honghe picked up a piece of white cloth to cover Ren Yunqiao's face, and quickly ran after him, saying, "Uncle Jianxing, you can write well. You have to write on this board. I'm 93 years old With that, he quickly waved his hand.
Wang Laoer and Wang Laosan brought up the board which had been pasted with white paper, and the people around them also quickly handed over the pen and ink.
Li Jianxing was not polite either. He dipped his ink and raised his hand to write: Yun Qiao, the old prince of the Ren family, is four years old. He is diligent and kind, and has been handed down through the ages.
And then I put the date in the lower right corner.
According to the rules of Qiaogou Town, if someone dies, they all donate one year to the deceased.
After writing with a brush, Wang Laoer and Wang Laosan quickly put up the wooden board in front of the shadow wall and put wreaths on both sides.
Wang Honghe's daughter-in-law came up and sent the ready cigarettes to the public. Then she said, "Xiao Lin, I heard that you are going to have a year-end meeting on January 26 there?"
It takes five days for someone to pass away in mushroom village. From today's calculation, the 26th day of the first month is the day of Ren Yunqiao's funeral.
"Yes, aunt, but I'm going to put it off a day later. We'll do what we have to do. " Hu Xiaolin said.
