Village head Zhou arranged to set up a table in the alley between the two floors facing south of the north building of Lejia as a temporary tent. Many items received were placed in the alley first, filled with baskets or buckets, and then moved to the food storage. storehouse.

After buying the tables and chairs, Village Chief Zhou went to the account room, and then to the kitchen. Seeing that the cooks were busy, he couldn't bear to tell them how many customers there were.

Yang Dayong saw Village Chief Zhou wandering around, and asked with a smile, "Old Zhou, how many tables are there?"

"Fifty tables were full, and some new tables were added. When I came, there were five full tables, and there were at least three tables in the tent, and people kept coming here." Village Chief Zhou was also a little worried, If there were still a steady stream of visitors, he was worried that there would not be enough food.

"Oh." Yang Da Chimney said calmly and then didn't continue. After working for a few minutes, seeing Village Chief Zhou still wandering around, he asked again: "Old Zhou, what are you looking at?"

"I'm checking if the food is enough."

"Little brat has budgeted for ninety tables, is it not enough?"

"It's hard to say." Village Chief Zhou was still worried: "Table [-] is budgeted for tomorrow morning."

"What's the matter? It's enough for dinner. Tomorrow morning's dishes, after dinner, go to butcher the pig. It can be done in one night."

Yang Da chimney is not worried at all, haven't you seen more than [-] large stoves in this row?Fried, fried, stewed, fried, steamed, none of them are unambiguous.

Village Chief Zhou wanted to say, "You don't have back pain when you stand and talk", but then thought that Yang Dachi was in charge of the cooking, and he had to stand for a long time, so he swallowed his words and went to inspect the various seating areas with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he arrived on the ground of the North Building, he saw the representatives of the township hospital and the township government department, the leaders and teachers of the kindergarten, primary school, junior high school and the central building formed a mighty team, carrying several big The wreaths came roaring.

At a cursory glance, at least six tables must be seated!

Well, Village Chief Zhou didn't know how to describe his mood anymore, he asked the tent in the running hall to add tables and chairs, and went up to greet him, saying hello to Old Principal Yin and others.

Old principal Yin greeted each other with all the representatives and village head Zhou, then turned to the ground in front of the North Building of Lejia, saw Yueqing and a group of filial sons wearing white tops and red, gave them a little help, and then diverted them. To go to the ceremony, some people advanced to the mourning hall to worship.

The old headmaster Yin entered the mourning hall, burned paper money and offered incense with a few colleagues, and put his hand on the shoulder of the girl from Lejia: "Boys, just get up when the ceremony is over."

Le Yun bowed on the ground and raised her head: "Thank you, old principal, my aunt is a junior, and she is ashamed to receive your gift."

"Baby, don't say you are ashamed. Originally, Le Ya would probably become my student just like your father, and would be beaten and scolded by me..."

The old principal Yin was full of emotion, and he said that he was very sad. Everyone in Meicun knew that Le Ya was very smart when he was a child. If nothing happened, it would be no problem to be admitted to a top university. The hands of villains.

Le Yun's heart is also panting. I heard from my grandfather that my aunt learned to read and write with her grandmother when she was more than one year old. She has a keen interest in Chinese medicine. Show her every kind of Chinese medicine once, and she will remember the name and function, and can recognize it next time.

If my aunt does not have an accident, she will definitely make achievements in the medical field and become a famous doctor of a generation.

Heaven was not jealous of talents, but was envied by others, and ended up in a tragic end of premature death.

This hatred is hard to get rid of, she sent the most important culprits to hell, and she will never forgive Dongfang Shen's old bull nose. As for Wu Changfeng, there are other uses for keeping him temporarily.

The corners of Xiao Le's eyes were red, and the old principal Yin also knew that he had talked too much and brought up the sad things of the little boy, so he hurriedly persuaded him a few words, and left the main room with the colleagues who had finished the incense, to pay the gift money.

Because the hangers came in a group, Le Yun led his younger brothers and the cubs of the Chen family, the Zhou family, and the Cao family to keep lying on the ground for a full twenty minutes.

Seats for funeral wine also follow first-come-first-served basis. Tables will be set up in the mourning hall, where the masters or the deceased’s natal family or uncle’s elders sit. There are no restrictions on other seats. Whoever comes first will sit at the host’s house. .

The old principal Yin and others came late, and they all sat on the side of the road.

Not long after they sat down in a group, people from the Hu family village of Grandma Le's mother's family also came in a group, and then a group of people from the neighboring village that was close to Chen Dalian's Chen family.

When the sun was only half hanging on the top of the mountain, Boss Wu, his wife and Mrs. Wu arrived in a hurry, and the Wu family offered gifts according to local customs, and also sent a hand-tied wreath.

Village Chief Zhou went around again, but it made his heart beat violently, and there were already 78 tables!

Resisting the palpitations of his heart, he directed the electrician who was in charge of electricity to pull the wires, and hung electric lights on the tents on the side of the road. Four sets of tables and stools.

The people in charge of the tables and chairs were also ignorant. Fortunately, they were clever. In the middle of the afternoon, they heard from the villagers that many people in the neighboring villages wanted to come to Lejia. Fearing that there would be not enough tables and chairs, they rented another [-] sets for spares.

At the same time of the day, another wave of people rushed to the village. Village Chief Zhou looked at him and was sweating. That group was from several villages more than thirty or forty miles away from Jiudao and relatively close to Shangzhuang. Three and a half tables.

The old man can only pray that it is the last batch.

However, God did not hear his prayer, and when it was getting dark, another group of people came. They might be in a hurry, and they all ran profusely in sweat.

Village Chief Zhou took a look, um, there were about three tables of visitors, and one of them was an acquaintance, who was the branch secretary of a village committee adjacent to the neighboring town of Liuzhen.

The village chiefs and senior officials of the township hold three or four meetings every year, and the office buildings of the village committees also have contact numbers for every village party secretary in the township, so that they can be contacted in case of emergency.

Village head Zhou is not the secretary of the village committee. The reason why he recognizes some village committees or village heads in other villages is also because of Xiao Lele's blessing. Be a guest.

Of course, he just went to observe, and if he had a chance, he would tell Xiao Lele what he had heard. Then, if Xiao Lele had any suggestions or opinions, he would pass them on to the relevant departments.

In fact, Village Chief Zhou didn't know the village party secretary or village chief of other village committees very well. It was others who recognized him and would take the initiative to greet him when they saw him. He also remembered some people with prominent characteristics.

A group of people who came running saw Village Chief Zhou, greeted him first, and then explained the reason for their late arrival. The car they were riding in broke down on the road, and they were repaired, which delayed a lot of time.
What else can Village Chief Zhou do?I can only politely thank everyone for coming from afar and take them to Lejia.

Father Le, his cousin and his cousins ​​thought that the guests were all here, so they took the time to sit down and rest for a while. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, they knew that there were guests again, and they lined up in a row. Kneel down and kowtow.

Village head Zhou led the guests to the ceremony first, and then took them to the mourning hall to offer incense, and then Switzerland led the guests to sit in the tent on the side of the road.

Later, a group of customers sat on two tables one by one.

So, not counting the helpers, there are already 84 tables for hangers alone.

Village head Zhou couldn't hold back his heart, so he ran to find Xiao Lele and got a bowl of chicken soup from her, so he managed to hold on.

Fortunately, since that wave of people, there have been no more guests.

Village head Zhou led people to add three more tables on the ground, three more tables were set up in the mourning hall, a thousand firecrackers were set off, and the guests were notified to prepare for the banquet, and everyone sat down quickly.

As soon as thousands of firecrackers went off, the diners knew they were going to start their banquet, and some of them who had gone to chat together also returned to their respective seats.

The masters do the dojo in the morning, and in the middle of the afternoon, every guest comes to join in the fun.

The Le family invited a team from Mr. Lei, the Zhou family also invited one, and Chen Kang and Chen Dalian, representing Grandma Le's natal family, also invited a gong and drum team with three bands.

The three bands can take turns to play music to welcome the guests, and it is also more relaxed.

When the banquet was about to start, the masters also stopped playing the music and entered the middle hall of the North Building of Lejia.

The women of the Zhou family are in charge of arranging the dishes, delivering baskets of bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses to each table.

The men add charcoal and send wine and cigarettes to each table.

Village head Zhou went to check the seats in each district and informed them to serve the dishes.

The staff in the running hall each carried an iron pot with the bottom material to each area. The dishes were served on the seats where the masters were sitting, and then divided up. Several people were in charge of one area.

The main table is served with pork rib soup as the base, and then four dishes are served, and the rest of the dishes will be served after a while.

After the first round of dishes are served, before the banquet begins, the filial sons and grandsons will kowtow to thank the diners.

Village head Zhou called people in hemp and filial piety, kowtowed to thank the masters first, and then went all the way from far to near to pay homage to them.

Kowtow before meals does not need to be knocked once for each table, but once for each area. For example, the upper main room of the Zhou family is a community, and the filial sons kneel down collectively and kowtow three times to complete the etiquette. .

In a house like the Zhou family, if there is no separation between the upper and lower halls, it is an area, and only one prostration is enough.

Village head Zhou led the filial sons away, first kowtowed to thank all the guests in the tent next to Lejia’s house, then went to Zhou’s house, went to Cheng Youde’s house, then turned back to the backyard of Le’s house, then to the south building, and then returned to the north of Le’s house Upstairs and the second floor kowtowed to the diners, and the filial sons went downstairs to eat on the mats in the middle hall or on the ground.

The host kowtowed to the guests, and people from all regions opened the banquet by themselves.

Lejia didn't care about money when doing business. They bought twelve pigs, twenty sheep, one hundred chickens and one hundred ducks. They used four kinds of meat as the main course and mixed it with other dishes to make ten different dishes.

Among the ten dishes, the sauce-flavored beef is a herbal meal made by Lejia girl, and there is also a big lobster that the children love most.

The person in charge of serving the food and wine put the dishes together, and then they went to sit at the table on the floor in front of the North Building of Lejia, and ate.

The guests ate slowly, and left after about an hour. Some families went home after eating, leaving their children behind.

The Zhou family's daughters-in-law and sister-in-law Zhao and sister-in-law Liu went to clean up the dishes and took them to the backyard of Le's house for cleaning.

The masters ate slowly, and when the guests from other places had finished eating, they played music to show that the banquet was over.

Brother Zhou and the others rested for a while after eating, then went around and asked people in the neighboring villages who sold pigs or chickens and ducks. , Kill pigs and sell chickens and ducks if necessary.

The Le family is doing business. When buying livestock such as pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, they first choose the same village. During the day, they buy all the big pigs that can be slaughtered in the village.

Most of the neighboring villages and townships are farmers, and there are many people who raise livestock. After walking around, they registered more than [-] pigs and hundreds of chickens and ducks.

The women tidied up the tables and benches and cleaned them up. Because the temperature was relatively high, there was no need to light a fire for warmth. All the braziers in the main room and the ground were removed, and only the benches were placed.

The guests who ate at Cheng Youde's house and Grandma Zhou moved around a bit, and took a bench to Le's house, where they sat on the ground, on the side of the road, or in an alley, and under the eaves of the south building of the owner's house.

People from the same village in Meicun went to many families except those who helped Lejia. Generally, one person in the family went to eat with children or took the children to eat. Others did not go. sit.

Therefore, there are more than [-] seats for dinner, and there are about [-] people, and there are more people after the meal than during the meal, and the front and sides of the building are full of people.

After resting for a while, at about nine o'clock, Cheng Wu moved the red lacquered cowhide drum placed in the corner of Lejia Hall, placed it, burned the paper money, and played the drum with a stick and mallet.

The way of drumming and playing music is called "beating the mourning drum" in the countryside. When the beating drum is played, it means that it is time for mourning.

Funeral time is the "world" of those who can sing funeral songs. Funeral songs are called "filial songs" in rural areas.

People who can sing filial songs, as long as they are willing to sing when they are only doing funerals, can fully develop their potential. Basically, those who can sing filial songs are the elderly and bachelors, and they are called "singers".

In rural areas, singers who sing filial songs in funeral ceremonies and sing reasonable and thought-provoking singers are very popular and respected.

Some bachelors or singers who are disabled and unable to work but who can sing filial songs, go to sing with the spirit whenever there is something to do, so that they can eat a few good meals with the master to improve their own food. Disgusted, I will send a red envelope to thank you afterwards.

The Le family does funeral affairs, and all the singers from Jiudao Township are here. They go to the banquet and sit in front of the ground. They don't steal the limelight, they all abide by the rules, and the singing is the main village The drum master and his companions start unless they give way to the singer.

After beating the drums for mourning, it is the turn to sing filial songs after the mourning of relatives.

The drum rang again, and Le Yun yelled "My aunt", and threw herself on the coffin to cry, crying and complaining, crying about her aunt's unfortunate early death, crying about her grandma's pain of losing her daughter, and scolding the villain for being insidious and harmful. People, scolded all the people who killed my aunt.

I scolded the villain, and cried about the kindness of the neighbors to my aunt, how they helped my aunt after my grandparents lost her, and cried about my aunt's early death, so I didn't have the chance to see her brother, niece and nephew, and told about my uncle, grandpa and uncle Grandma and cousins ​​are back.

Classmate Le is a junior, so it is only natural for her to mourn.

As soon as the girl from the Le family cried, there was no noise, except for the occasional drum accompaniment, upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the house.
