The third day after Ren Yunqiao's death is Xingdian, which is also the most tiring day. The so-called xingdien is that the relatives who come to mourn put up eight kinds of tributes, kowtow and cry according to the rules.
In this process, the tribute was placed by the Wang family. When they entered the courtyard, their closest relatives knelt down and kowtowed, then went forward three steps, stepped back one step, and knelt down and cried again. After three kneeling and nine kowtowing, etiquette will be achieved.
In the morning, he was Ren Yunqiao's mother's family, daughter's son-in-law and the man of the Wang family. After lunch, women and the next generation of children, as well as friends.
The same is the same etiquette.
There is nothing wrong with Hu Xiaolin this day, but Hu's father has to go. Hu Shuxiang, Peng kuohai, sun shining, Du Dabiao, Zhao Jingrui, sun cunshan and others formed a team.
Although there was no blood relationship between them, when their parents died, the Wang brothers also went to lay a memorial. Chinese people pay attention to reciprocity. Therefore, Hu Shuxiang, Peng kuohai and others need to lay a foundation for Ren Yunqiao.
In this process, the three brothers of Wang Honghe and the men in the family, as well as the men of the next generation, will go to another courtyard in turn to invite those who are ready to lay a memorial.
Kowtow in the door, cry out, kneel well, kowtow in the direction of the gate. When the people of the line came in, they straightened up and bowed their heads to cry.
The fourth day is the most idle day, because there is no business for the villagers in the morning. The Wangs burn paper in the morning and coffin in the afternoon.
At this time, it's time for the villagers to come out. Whether you can help or not, you have to go and see.
Hu Xiaolin had nothing to do. After lunch, he called Chen Feifei, Han Peng and Chen Yunfeng to Wang Honghe's home. Before you put a coffin into the coffin, you should put a fifty cent coin in it. This is called carrying money, which means that the next generation will not worry about food and drink, and will have surplus food.
After loading the coffin, you should put in Ren Yunqiao's favorite things, clothes. This is the so-called funerary object.
After that, the next of kin will have one last look, and then they will be able to cover the coffin and nail long nails.
This kind of thing doesn't need Hu Xiaolin and others to help. It's all done by experienced middle-aged men. They come here just for form.
As for the funeral, it is not Hu Xiaolin's worry. The Wangs have arrangements, and the men in the village will not help.
After Ren Yunqiao was buried, Hu Xiaolin was ready to leave. But at this moment, Hu Shuxiang came over and said, "Xiao Lin, don't leave tonight. Stay and have dinner with us."
"All right." Hu Xiaolin agreed to come down without thinking about it. It's reasonable for father to arrange it like this. "Dad, have we ever had someone send us a la carte?" Hu Xiaolin thought about it and asked again.
"Nonsense!" Hu Shuxiang glared at him and said in a low voice, "do you want to hit Wang Honghe brothers in the face? If you ask people to deliver food, it's not that you don't think other people's food is bad! "
The trough!
Forget about it!
Hu Xiaolin patted his forehead, quickly admitted his mistake and said with a smile: "Dad, please calm down. I'll pay attention next time. Not so much.
"Xiaolin, you are capable and rich. But you can't play tricks on the old and young men in the village. If you get angry and everyone gets angry with you, you can't get along in the future. We don't want to die, we can't go to our ancestral grave, and we don't even have a helper. " Hu Shuxiang preached.
Chinese people pay attention to return to their hometown and bury their souls in their hometown. My father is over 50 years old, so it's normal to have this idea. Although Hu Xiaolin was clear, he was very uncomfortable. He said solemnly, "Dad, can you not mention it. I want you to live a long life, four generations together. "
"Hey, hey." Hu Shuxiang laughed a few times and said with a smile: "we just say something casually. Why are you so serious. Lin Na, my father knows you are filial and sensible. But there are some things that we have to explain in advance. "
Hu Xiaolin didn't want to quarrel with his father about this, so he quickly deviated from the topic, "Dad, will you go to Niujiao mountain tomorrow? I want you and my mother to participate. "
"It depends." Hu Shuxiang didn't even think about it, so he replied. Then, feeling that this was not considered, he said, "let's try our best to get there. You know, when your grandparents passed away, the old and the young helped. We can't be lazy. We don't want to chill the hearts of old and young men. "
Hu Xiaolin understood the meaning of the words. The hope of knowing that my father will attend the year-end meeting is dim. But he nodded with a smile.
That night, Hu Xiaolin stayed at Wang Honghe's home for a meal. None of the Wangs left, as if they had negotiated. During the meal, they didn't discuss any other topics. They just pushed the cup to change the cup and told all kinds of interesting stories about their youth.
Hu Xiaolin, Chen Yunfeng, Han Peng and Chen Feifei became the best listeners. They don't speak much. They only ask about things they don't understand.
According to the rules, Han Peng and Chen Feifei are not required to participate. Their fathers are all here, and they are not married yet. Even if they don't come, the villagers don't care.
The reason why Hu Xiaolin stayed was to have a wedding tomorrow, while Wang Honghe's family had a funeral. Without a word, it seems a little inhuman. What's more, his marriage to Xu Mengya is a matter of certainty. Moreover, Xu Henglu is old and won't stay to drink with young and old men.After all, the old man is a doctor and has prestige. When he came, the villagers became unnatural.
As for Chen Feifei, he has to stay. It's not suitable for mother to come forward with such a thing when her father died. What's more, he is a man and has been staying in the village all the time. If he doesn't attend, there will be people chewing their tongue.
During the dinner, Hu Xiaolin brought up the old story again, "Uncle Honghe, I'm very sorry about this. Don't take it to heart, just bear with me
Wang Honghe took his glass and drank it clean. He held his fist and arched his hand and said, "Xiaolin, you are doing good things for the village. Uncle is happy. Now that you say that, it's a bit of a slap in the face. I have a brother who doesn't know how to praise me, but Wang Honghe dares to stand up and say that we are popular in mushroom village. "
Peng kuohai also played a round: "Xiaolin, this is the last time. You, uncle Honghe, we know. "
Hu Shuxiang also said: "Xiao Lin, this matter has been exposed. Next year, we will do more good things for the old and the young, so that everyone can have some hope. "
"Good!" Hu Xiaolin stood up to answer the call, held up his glass and said: "Uncle Honghe, uncle kuohai, this glass of wine is for this year. In December next year, let's have a feast and invite the old and young to drink together. Let's see our achievements in one year. Let's do it. " With that, he poured two and a half of the liquor down.
"Bright!" Peng kuohai praised, patted the table and stood up, "man, don't worry, go forward boldly, don't look back if you have anything."
"Don't look back, don't look back, old and young men will accompany you! Go ahead, don't worry about your family. " Sun shining finished singing at the top of his voice and drank all the liquor in his glass.
