"Miss Wang, it's me." Ye Guangrong nodded and said.
"Are you coming to see Mr. Wu?"
Mr. Wang asked. Mr. Wang was not surprised that any of his wife's students came to see his wife. It was really unexpected that ye Guangrong came to see his wife.
"Yes, it's a pity that I'm late. If I had known that Mr. Wu was ill earlier, I would have come to see him. It's a pity that I'm always late." Ye Rongrong said with some remorse.
"You have a heart to come. If Mr. Wu knows anything, he will be very happy." Mr. Wang nodded and said.
In any case, just yesterday on the funeral hall, today his wife's students came to mourn her, teacher Wang was very happy.
This shows that the students of his wife did not forget her. As a teacher, if she died, none of the students came to mourn for her. It is a very sad thing.
"Well, Mr. Wang, let me see Mr. Wu first." Ye Rongrong said.
"Go, go."
Wang said. After all, the death of his wife, who had been together for decades, made Mr. Wang feel very heavy, and he was not in the mood to entertain Ye Rongrong.
Walking into the hall, I look at Miss Wu lying on the bamboo bed in the middle of the hall and her closed eyes.
Don't know why, ye Rongrong can't help but tears come out of his eyes.
Little by little in junior high school, I can't help but emerge in front of my eyes. Teacher Wu's voice in class seems to ring in my ears. It's so kind and nostalgic.
"Fight, fight, you know how to fight at the end of the day. If you can put your ability to fight on your study, you will be admitted to No.1 Middle School of the county."
"I just know how to sleep. If I don't study hard, what else can I do in the future?"
"Stand on the back wall, clear your head, and see if you can still sleep."
"If we fight like this in the future, we'll invite parents."
……
Looking at Mr. Wu's cold body lying quietly behind the hall, ye Rongrong's mind constantly comes up with his little memories of Mr. Wu.
All of a sudden, ye Rongrong found that there was not a picture of herself that comforted the teacher in so many memories. It was the picture of her anger.
This makes Ye Rongrong feel very sorry. He was too ignorant in his junior high school. He made the teacher angry and wanted to say, "I'm sorry", but he was separated by Yin and Yang.
"I'm sorry, teacher."
Ye Rongrong bows to Mr. Wu three times. I don't know if Mr. Wu can hear his apology. Ye Rongrong apologizes to Mr. Wu for being late.
Because today is the second day when the hall is set up. There are no guests. Ye Guangrong stays in the hall and looks at Miss Wu quietly. Sometimes he helps Miss Wu's daughter burn paper money for Miss Wu.
Mr. Wu's youngest daughter is two years younger than ye Rongrong. Ye Rongrong has seen each other before and is familiar with each other.
"Hello, come and have a snack."
Wu's eldest daughter-in-law walked into the hall and said to Ye Rongrong. In rural areas, whenever the guests come, they should make a bowl of snacks to show their enthusiasm for the host family.
In fact, it has something to do with the Chinese dietary customs. There is an old saying in China, "food is the most important thing for the people". For thousands of years, the Chinese people have been struggling on the food and clothing line, which makes people pay special attention to eating. Many things are inseparable from eating.
"Thank you. I'm not hungry."
Ye Rongrong shook his head and said. Looking at teacher Wu lying in the mourning hall, ye Rongrong felt a little heavy, where there was any appetite to eat.
"Brother glory, you can have some. My mother knows that you come to see her. She must be very happy."
Said Miss Wu's little daughter. When Wu's little daughter was in junior high school, she was still familiar with Ye Rongrong, because she was the daughter of Ye Rongrong's head teacher. Ye Rongrong took care of herself very much. It was said that he was bullied by a male classmate in his class. He also took people to his class to teach the boy who bullied him.
Up to now, Mr. Wu's little daughter is still deeply impressed by Ye Guangrong. At that time, her parents didn't like Ye Guangrong. Mr. Wu's little daughter is a loyal fan of Ye Guangrong.
As long as she is bullied, Miss Wu's little daughter will not tell her parents. She will tell Ye Guangrong. Ye Guangrong will stand out for herself.
Even teacher Wu's little daughter's young heart, have grown up to marry glory brother's idea. Later, ye Guangrong was expelled, and teacher Wu's little daughter was sad for a long time.
It's just that things are hard to predict. It's more than ten years later when we meet each other again. At her mother's funeral hall, Miss Wu's daughter doesn't know what it will be like for her to be the first student to visit her and burn paper money for her after her death, which is the poor student Ye Guangrong, who makes her hate and headache.
"I really don't have an appetite."
Ye Rongrong shook his head and said. Even ye Guangrong, who has a good appetite, has no appetite at this time."Eat something. It's all cooked. It's a waste if you don't eat it." Wu's daughter-in-law said.
"All right."
Ye Rongrong thought about it and said. After all, the snacks in the rural weddings and funerals are basically noodles. If the noodles are cooked, if they are not eaten, they will not taste good after a long time. They will be poured out at that time. It's really a waste.
……
After eating snacks, ye Rongrong went to the Lingtang to help Wu's little daughter burn paper money. In the countryside, someone died in the family. After opening the Lingtang, he had to burn paper money constantly. In the eyes of the ancients, people would go home to have a look three days after they died.
There is a saying that the king of hell is a tough kid. On the way home, he will encounter all kinds of kid's obstruction. What should I do?
Money can make the devil push the mill. Of course, money is the only way to go, so this paper money can't be broken.
As ye Guangrong gives money for burning paper, he looks up at the hall. There is a picture of teacher Wu hanging above the hall,
the word "Dien" in the book, and elegiac couplets hanging on the left and right sides of the hall, "the wind blows on the ground, the sadness becomes the eternal formula, and it's hard to give up life and death." "Hold a grudge all day long, cry with tears and be kind to your relatives, the road of yin and Yang has been divided."
In front of the mourning hall, there is a table for offering sacrifices such as fruits. On both sides of the hall, there is a high temperature of incense. Teacher Wu's bed is placed behind the table.
There is an oil lamp burning on the altar of the mourning hall. This lamp is called "ever burning lamp". It can't be put out. In the past, the watchman had to refuel from time to time, but now there are extra large candles, which can burn continuously for several days. People don't have to refuel often.
In addition to these, there is a cycle of "the curse of death" in the mourning hall. Instead of asking monks to sing it, it is automatically played by a tape recorder.
In Wen Zhou, people who die can't be cremated immediately. They have to be cremated after three or seven days. In the view of Chinese people, people will go home to have a look in three days after they die. If they can't see their body, they will be unhappy and can't find their way home.
In the past three or seven days, there is no need to invite the mage to sing a song, as long as the family is on the vigil. But after the cremation, we will invite the mage to recite the Scriptures.
In Yangping County, coco Prefecture, people usually invite five mages to sing songs. If they have a good family, they have to invite nine mages to sing songs. The cost of this mage is very high. Generally, the cost of one mage a day is 800-1000.
Generally speaking, after a dead person is cremated, he has to ask a mage to sing for three days. The cost of a day is basically at least 4000 yuan. The cost of asking a mage for three days is more than 10000 yuan, not including the money for the red envelope.
Therefore, the income of the songwriters in Yangping is very considerable, but not all of them have business every day. Some of them can only receive three or five orders a month, and they usually have nothing to do at home.
Ye Guangrong, the master of these lyrics, has not yet figured out which sect of Taoism they belong to. There is no Taoist school. They usually stay at home. When someone is looking for them, a group of people go to sing lyrics to the dead in Taoist costumes.
"Brother glory, thank you." Teacher Wu's daughter said to Ye Rongrong.
"Thank me for what?"
Ye Rongrong asked, looking at Miss Wu's daughter strangely.
"Thank you for coming to see my mother. I really didn't expect you to come to see my mother."
Wu's daughter said. Now Miss Wu's daughter has been married. She is a mother of a child. She will not have the childish idea of marrying brother glory when she was a child.
Today, Miss Wu's daughter sincerely thanks Ye Guangrong. After all, when she was in junior high school, her mother was not good at Ye Guangrong and often punished him.
But ye Guangrong didn't remember at all. He came to mourn his mother and help himself burn paper money in the mourning hall.
It's really hard to find such a person.
"The teacher passed away, I don't know, even if, know, must come over, Shien heavy mountain, this truth I still understand." Ye Rongrong said.
"Thank you. Thank you anyway." Teacher Wu's daughter said to Ye Rongrong gratefully.
……
After staying in Wu's hall for an hour, ye Rongrong looked at the time. It was already noon. He spoke to Wu's daughter and left the hall.
"This is mine. My name is Ye Guangrong, a student of Mr. Wu. This is another student of Mr. Wu. His name is Dai Wanli. He is in the provincial capital now and can't come back for a while. But he will come on the day of the funeral."
Ye Rongrong came to a table outside the Lingtang, took out two red envelopes and gave them to the recipients.
In the countryside, the host's family must be very busy at weddings and funerals. They don't care about it at all, and they don't have the heart to collect the gift money.
They always invite their trusted relatives or friends to collect the gift money. Generally, they will invite two people, one for the gift money and the other for the supervision.
After all, after a red and white wedding, the gift money is definitely not a small fraction, at least there are 30000 or 50000 yuan, so much money, no one to supervise, the host is not at ease.
Of course, the recipients should record the names of the givers one by one, how many gifts they gave and how many gifts they returned.When the wedding comes, the book and the money will be locked in a small wooden box and handed over to the owner completely.
