Chapter 2311 (3 more

Taking advantage of the lack of people at night, I moved the spare ingredients for noon tomorrow to the south building. Le Yun reinstalled the windows, closed the windows, and went back to the mourning hall to watch. Whenever the singer sang a song, he kowtowed .

Singers are treated very well at Lejia. They can smoke a cigarette at every table, as well as fruits, drinks, and dried fruits. When they are not singing, they drink tea and knock melon seeds.

Everyone is also very friendly, they don't compete or take credit, sing one by one, everyone has a share, if you want to take a break, let others sing first.

The other people who stay up late with the host are also treated well. Lejia put a table next to it, full of fruits, hot tea, and cigarettes. Anyone who wants to eat can get it by himself. Moreover, every hour, there will be errands People hand out candies like candies.

The singer sang until four o'clock in the morning, Le Yun took the big saucer containing the red envelopes and scattered the red envelopes.

The red envelope does not pay attention to the amount of money, it just represents the gratitude of the host family, which is more symbolic. Generally, a pack of cigarettes is worth five or six yuan, or ten yuan and 20 yuan.

Those with ample money can pack more, depending on the owner's wishes.

In order not to open the example of Jiu Dao making red envelopes for comparison, Le Yun also followed the old rules to make red envelopes, 36 yuan a bag, neither too much nor too little.

The singer himself does not go for the red envelopes of the host, he doesn’t care about the amount of the red envelopes, he only cares about whether there are any. If there is, it means that the host is respectful and respects the singer. If there is no red envelope, it means that the host despises singing. If any relatives pass away, they will only sing if they have to kowtow, and they will not go again if they don’t go.

The girl from Lejia held the tray containing the red envelopes, went to the place where the singers were sitting, and saw a person who kowtowed and handed over the red envelopes.

The Le family respected the singer, and the singer also respected the master. The girls from the Le family came to kowtow, and they all stood up. First, they helped the girl up and took a red envelope from the tray.

Singers have red envelopes, and the masters who play music also receive red envelopes each. The meaning is the same. If the masters don’t stay up late to join the singers, they will naturally not have their share of the red envelopes.

The host is kind, and the singer is also full of energy. No one cheats, does not press down, and sings loudly. Either praise the host, praise the deceased, and wish her early bliss, or scold those who harm others. No one said that Lejia was half wrong.

The master's family is not kind, and the singer can sing and swear at others. Even if he scolds the master's family or relatives and friends, the master's family can only bear it.

Such examples abound, and they are not uncommon in Jiudao Township.

Lejia always followed the old rules. The girl from Lejia kowtowed so many heads, and the singer's heart was bright. How could he not do his best, let alone be unsatisfied.

If anyone dares to scold the host with a gun and a stick, other people will not scold him to death on the spot, and they will list him behind their backs as ignorant of good and evil. If you don't go with him in the future, you won't be stabbed in the back and ruin the singer reputation.

In the second month of leap in 2023, that is, there are two February in the lunar calendar, and the beginning of April in the new calendar is the middle of the second leap, which is quite the middle of March in the lunar calendar.

In this season, the dawn time is getting earlier and earlier, and Jiudao will light up around six o'clock.

At dawn, do a dojo.

The dojo in the morning is relatively simple. It is to move the big drum placed in the middle hall out of the house and send it to a certain place to throw it on the road. In the countryside, it is also called "inverting the drum". necessary.

At fifty minutes, Le Yun took the saucer with the things bought according to the rules of the Red Village, and presented it to Grandpa Cheng Wu.

The person in charge of beating the mourning drum in the countryside is an experienced old man. He knows the meaning of something when he sees it. When the little boy comes with a tea tray, Cheng Wu knows that the drum can be inverted.

As soon as a singer's song was over, he beat the heavy drum again and again, Zhang Laosan sang the inverted drum song, repeated three times, and Liu Lu's father picked up the drum and walked out.

The singers stopped singing, and everyone washed their faces, smoked, chatted and knocked sunflower seeds.

Le Yunle's father, Zhou Qiufeng, and the brothers of the Chen family walked behind the drummers, kowtowing if they needed to. The four little brothers of the Chen family, Chen Xiaozhu, Xiaohe, and the children of the Zhou family avoided and did not follow to do the dojo.

Masters play music.

The big drum was sent to the roadside in the west, and the dojo was completed according to the steps, and then returned to Lejiatangwu.

After finishing the dojo, it was already 05:30, Zhou Qiufeng went to carry Le Shan downstairs.

Le Yun took the elders and cousins ​​to the warehouse, took out the bags that packed things, and gave each of the singers and masters a bag of things. The bag contained snacks, cigarettes, a red envelope, a towel, and a piece of soap.

That gift is a gift for their hard work singing all night, and it is also a thank you gift for the singers. Afterwards, the master does not need to give another thank you gift, and the masters still have a thank you gift when they return from the funeral.

The singers and mentors got a big bag of things because they had a bag of snacks before, and there was no place to put them.

Le Yun wrote everyone's names on adhesive tape and pasted them on their belongings, and asked them to put them in her bedroom on the first floor and pick them up when they left at noon.

After that was done, it was dawn.

At dawn, which is also the auspicious time for the deceased to enter the coffin, Zhou Cun and Cheng Wu's old partners removed the wreath, opened the coffin lid, and moved the coffin to a place near the center of the hall for the coffin ceremony.

The masters took turns playing music.

Because Leya only had the bones left, it was not appropriate for relatives to see them. Village chief Zhou and others knew that Xiao Lele had made preparations in advance, and let Le's relatives see the remains of the deceased according to the rules.

Everyone opened the small coffin.

According to the black and white photos left by her aunt, Le Yun made a head and face out of paper, and also put on clothes for her aunt.

Zhou Village Chief Cheng Wu and others saw Le Ya first, saw the paper figurine in the small coffin, and exclaimed, "Le Ya?!"

Like, so similar!
Xiao Lele made an exact replica of her Gu Leya's face, which was obviously made of paper, but it was as lifelike as a real person.

If they hadn't known that Le Ya had only bones, they would have thought Le Ya was sleeping in a coffin.

Happy father Zhou Qiufeng and Chen Kang rushed up, squeezed to the side of the coffin and looked around, and saw real-life female puppies lying in the small coffin, regardless of gender, howling and crying

Chen Kang was crying so hard, this is his nephew!He had never met his little nephew, so he had no chance to call him "uncle". During his lifetime, the nephew and uncle did not know each other. When the nephew and uncle met, there was a gap of yin and yang, more than 50 years.

Her wife rushed over, and Zhou Wei hurried forward to help her, while looking at her niece, seeing her nephew's face very similar to Xiao Lele, she couldn't help but burst into tears from her heart.

As soon as Chen Xin, Chen Jie and their respective daughters-in-law took a look at their cousin, their parents burst into tears. They didn't care about their own grief, so they hurriedly supported their parents to prevent the tears of the elders from dripping into the coffin.

Ms. Li Zhou Ge was also present, and hurriedly pulled Yueqing Zhou Qiufeng away from the coffin. As for consolation, they were superfluous, and they did not persuade her.

Grandma Zhou, Grandma Zhou Man, Aunt Pao and Granny Cao, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu, and Boss Wu also came forward to look at Le Ya's remains, and they all shed tears.

Let the relatives take a look, Village Chief Zhou and his old partners also moved the small coffin and put it aside first, put plant ash, charcoal, and coins at the bottom of the big coffin, spread a thin quilt, and then moved the small coffin into the big coffin .

After that, the sun, moon, rooster, luma, etc. were pasted around the coffin, and all the clothes, quilts and other things Leya wore when she was young were stuffed around the small wood, and some clothes brought by relatives and friends were also put in the coffin.

After finishing that step, give Le Ya a small ball of rice balls in one hand, and a small tree branch in the other, and then stop talking.

Zhikou is to put half a copper coin or coin in the mouth of the deceased.

Stopping the mouth is not a local custom, but a custom passed down from ancient times. In ancient times, when a person from a wealthy family died, he had to stop the nine orifices, that is, the mouth, nose, ears, mouth and lower door were blocked with jade.

Poor people have private property and don’t have so much money. When people die, they put something in their mouths.

If you put a copper coin in the mouth of the deceased, it is said that the offspring will produce dumb or unclear people, so Zhikou only contains half a copper coin or coin for the deceased.

After the mouth is closed, the coffin is sealed.

Before sealing the coffin, relatives and friends take one last look at the deceased.

Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, was crying around the coffin, Le Yun was holding his younger brother, and was also crying, Le Shan was also in tears, and Chen Kang was also in tears. Grandma Zhou and others persuaded Chen Kang to persuade Yueqing to persuade the little boy.

After a while of persuasion, Cheng Wu and the others covered Le Ya with a quilt, and then covered the small coffin.

As soon as the small coffin was closed, Papa Le burst into tears again.

Brother Zhou pulled Yueqing back, and Grandma Zhouman also hugged Xiao Lele and Xiao Leshan, preventing them from rushing to the coffin, and asked Cheng and others to seal the coffin quickly.

Cheng Wu lifted the coffin lid up, and moved it from the foot of the coffin to the top of the head. Soon the coffin lid and the body of the coffin were closed, and then took the coffin nail and nailed it to the right side of the deceased in the coffin.

In fact, the nails to seal the coffin are not nailed to death. Relatives and friends will knock three times alone, and finally they will be nailed to the end.

Happy father Zhou Qiufeng led a pair of women's volleyball team at the front, followed by Chen Kang's family, Zhou Tianhong, Zhou Tianlan, Chen Dalian and sister-in-law He with their children, and then the good neighbors lined up in a long line around the coffin in a clockwise direction To knock on the coffin nails.

When knocking on the coffin nails, breathe out on the small hammer before knocking on the nails, and call out to the dead.

When relatives and friends had hammered the coffin nails, Cheng Wusan hammered down the coffin nails to the end, and then worked with his companions to move the coffin to a place against the wall.

Relatives burn paper and cry.

Before the coffin is sealed, relatives who cry for the dead are called mourners, and relatives who cry after the coffin is sealed are called weeping spirits.

Relatives and friends cry, masters play mourning and music.

After the relatives and friends cried, the neighbors who are close to each other of the Le family helped the relatives and friends of the Le family away and asked them to wash their faces.

After the coffin was sealed, most of the fellow villagers who stayed up all night went home first, some brought back the snacks they got last night, and some went back to take care of the livestock or wash it up.

The singer sang all night, and Zhou Ge, Chen Dalian and others were also busy all night. After the seller killed the pig, he returned and processed it, and temporarily made buckwheat or steamed meat, meatballs and so on.

The chickens and ducks for breakfast are also killed, steamed rice at four o'clock, and stewed meat at five o'clock.

During the encoffining, Zhou Ge, who was close to Lejia, and others took the time to look at it for a while. After the coffin was healed, they all took their places and were busy preparing breakfast.
