Xu Damao, who is not reconciled to the courtyard

Chapter 253 Jia Fei Enters the Earth, Jia Zhang's Popularity
In addition to needing some white cloth, even the most thin-skinned coffin should have a mouthful.

Candles, paper burning, incense, firecrackers, elegiac couplets, drummers... and so on, and of course helping the neighborhood with meals.

But now there is nothing, so several uncles in the courtyard went to Jia Zhang to ask for money.

It is used to buy these necessary things, but Jia Zhang has money.

At this time, the three uncles will start scratching their heads again, although everyone will follow a part of the ceremony.

But at least you have to put on the appearance of a mourning hall, that's how it is now.

It can't be nothing if it's simple, and no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done.

Otherwise, what would the neighbors think of the three uncles?

The third master gritted his teeth and contributed a workbook and a pen, which served as an account book for accounting.

The three uncles began to collect gifts in advance, and the three of them gritted their teeth.

Each person gave a gift of 5 yuan, which was recorded on the first page.

He was the first to find Xu Damao, and he knew what the situation was at a glance.

So there is no need for the three uncles to say, just follow them with 5 yuan.

When the money was collected later, although everyone complained, they all gave the gift money in advance.

There are still quite a few of thirty or fifty cents, but basically none of the last dollar.

By the way, silly Zhu also followed several uncles with 5 yuan, which surprised everyone.

Several uncles also advised everyone to follow suit, so that the neighbors would look good on the face.

The key point is that everyone knows that this money is basically a waste of money, and it has been a matter of many years to see the face of the neighborhood.

Although the scattered money is not enough, at least it can temporarily cope with the current situation.

If you have money in your hand, you should quickly send someone to buy things. At least the mourning hall must be set up first.

After a busy time, the grass hut finally looks like a mourning hall.

The five items used for funerals have finally been collected. These five items are flags, cards, sticks, basins, and jars.

Faner ~ is the banner of the ancient soul, so it is called "soul-inducing banner".

During the funeral, the eldest son beat the flags, the father died with the left hand, and the mother died with the right hand.

If the eldest son dies first, the great-grandson takes his place, if there is no great-grandson.

There will be a third or fifth child instead, the second and fourth will not work.

If the deceased has neither children nor grandchildren, the relatives or adopted sons who inherit the estate of the deceased will fight.

The card~ is a temporary paper-made spiritual card enshrined before the coffin is buried.

But from the outside, it looks like a small building.

When the funeral is carried out, the second son is usually held, and those who do not have a second son are placed on the coffin to accompany them.

Stick ~ is the so-called "waiting stick" in the past.

Today's society is all messed up, sticks and flags are all mixed up.

In some places, all of them are directly replaced by one of them.

At that time, the father died with a bamboo stick, and the mother died with a bronze stick.

And it will be just below the upper circle, and the length must be as high as the chest.

Now they are basically wooden sticks, and the copper stick is nowhere to be found.

A pot~ is a pottery vessel, also called "auspicious pot", or "yin and yang pot".

This basin is to be broken by the eldest son in front of the coffin when the pole is lifted.

If it doesn't break, don't drop it a second time.

There is an extra reward for stepping on the pot from the rear lifter or the driver.

Jar ~ is a small glazed pot, and the general name is called "baoping".

In front of the coffin before the burial, there are food and a pair of upright chopsticks, and the dutiful son needs to add food to it on time.

When buried, they are placed on the front seat of the coffin and buried together as a permanent offering to the deceased.

Now everything is almost ready except that there is no coffin.

The third master was also sitting in front of the welcome table at the door of the grass shed.

He took out the account book and placed it on the table, ready to welcome the arrival of condolences and attendants.

By this time, the men in the yard had basically calmed down.

This will be silly Zhu and a group of aunts and aunts busy with dinner for everyone and the attendants.

In the entire Siheyuan, only the old lady showed no courtesy, and Qin Huai's family didn't even have the courtesy.

The rest of the people who can come are basically all here, and the help from the neighbors is one.

Another major reason is that with a gift, the whole family's dinner can be settled.

The uncle took Xu Damao aside and asked him what he should pay attention to in the future.

The second uncle has the most people around, and they are all listening to him showing off his days in the machine shop during this period.

The stick stem was forced by Jia Zhang to kneel under the elegiac couplet in the mourning hall.

There is only a table beside the third master, and there is no one alone.

But he firmly believes that when he gets off work, he will be busy.

Although everyone was chatting on the side, their eyes still divided a large part to the third master.

After all, how many people in Jia Fei's family can come to the ceremony is a question that everyone is very interested in.

With the passage of time after get off work, the sky is getting late.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more strange, because so far, no one has come to express condolences to Jia Fei.

No one can see it, so let alone the gift money.

Now the three uncles are up again, and the coffin money and the carriage money have not yet been found.

I originally thought that the gift money could make up for this last loophole, but now it seems to be in vain.

There was no way the three uncles had to ask Jia Zhang.

Look at who Jia Fei usually interacts with politely and see if they missed something.

But after the three got the answer from Jia Zhang's mouth, the whole heart became cold.

It turned out that apart from the steel factory, Jia Fei basically had no courtesy outside.

But at this time, no one came from the factory, and this matter is probably hanging.

At this time, there were voices coming from outside the grass hut, and several uncles hurried forward.

It turned out that the logistics director came over and paid the account to the third master.

On it was written a gift of 10 yuan, the entire leadership of the steel plant.

After the logistics director finished the registration, he chatted with Xu Damao for a while and left.

It's getting late now, it's before 12 o'clock tonight.

It is necessary to put people into the coffin, and to seal the mouth of the coffin.

Otherwise, it can only be swept by grass, which is too shabby.

So the three uncles came to Jia Zhang again and talked about the situation.

Jia Zhangshi blew up on the spot: "Why, my son died without even a coffin."

"Are you going to use the straw mat to wrap up my Fei'er? Are you still human?"

Second uncle: "Mr. Jia Zhang, you have to understand the situation. Your family has no money to buy coffins, not we use straw mats."

Jia Zhang: "My Fei'er is a worker in a steel factory. How can he have no money?"

"You must have seen my Fei'er dead, and Bang Terrier is still young."

"So we blackmailed our family's money. Is there any reason for this!"

This time, the three uncles were almost mad at each other, and he was busy going back and forth.

If you still end up with this reputation, you will be embarrassed in the future.

The uncle has the most hope in life now, and he is more concerned about his reputation.

So he sprayed directly at Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang, do you still want to show your face? Don't you know what's going on in your family?"

"If it hadn't been for your family, Jia Zhang and Bang Terrier, who kept making trouble, would your family be able to live like this?"

"It seems that you still don't know how to repent. Think about your dead husband and son."

"I'm thinking about my grandson now, he's still so young."

"In the future, give him some virtue, and don't let this take away from you."

Although the other two uncles were a little surprised that the uncle would say this today.

But now the most important thing is to keep their own reputation, so the two of them also followed suit and angered Jia Zhang.

The sound of their quarrel behind the mourning hall had already reached the ears of everyone outside.

This time, not only the people in their courtyard, but also all the people watching the lively around.

But when everyone heard the cause of the matter, everyone was very angry.

Everyone has been helping for a day, but in the end they have to take the blame. No one can stand this.

So I don't know who shouted: "Since Jia Zhang said that to all of us."

"Then let's all withdraw and let their families make these things themselves."

This sentence immediately got everyone's response, and several uncles didn't have time to stop it.

Everyone had already started to leave, and Jia Zhang was dumbfounded when he saw the situation.

I hurriedly asked the three uncles to help keep everyone, but none of the three said a word.

Jia Zhangshi cried and knelt down: "I'm not a human being, please forgive me this time."

"I won't dare to talk nonsense in the future. I will die if I talk nonsense."

Looking at Jia Zhang in front of him, the three uncles really couldn't care less.

This stopped the people who went back, but everyone was still very reluctant.

All of them sat around without a good face, as if I was just waiting for the meal to start.

Although the person is back, the uncles don't care about the coffin.

If you have a coffin, we will find someone to help you seal it up. If you don't have it, they will save trouble.

Anyway, it's good that people come back, now Jia Zhang is still facing the problem of this coffin.

She wanted to borrow some money to prepare a coffin for Jia Fei, but she couldn't let her son roll up a straw mat when he left.

But she looked around and didn't even look at her.

Finally, he turned his attention to the silly Zhu who helped Jia Fei get dressed.

Silly Zhu was still stirring the dishes in the cauldron. It seemed that everyone's quarrel just now had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang came over: "Silly Zhu, can you borrow some money from Aunt and let me buy a coffin for Brother Jia."

"Don't worry, after Fei'er's funeral is over, I will pay back the money when I smash the pot and sell iron."

"My poor Fei'er left at a young age, and Bang Terri is young."

"If I don't even have a coffin, my wife doesn't want to live."

When Jia Zhang found the silly column, everyone's eyes followed.

Although I couldn't hear what the two of them said, I saw that silly Zhu was very happy to take out the gap of the coffin's money.

Everyone saw that the silly Zhu really took out the money, and they could say anything for a while.

In any case, the money for the coffin was available. After the three uncles took the money, they immediately arranged for two people to buy it.

The scene returned to its original state, but the third master did not waste time and emotion sitting at the entrance of the spirit shed.

Now Xu Damao has the most people around, chatting together in a large circle.

After the person who bought the coffin came back, everyone put the coffin together.

Everything that should be there, several uncles began to shout for everyone to eat.

When everyone was having dinner, Bang Terri was also arguing that he was hungry and wanted to eat in Ling Peng.

But he was directly pressed back by Jia Zhang's family. This year, the filial son and grandson.

They can only eat after everyone else has eaten it, and it must be leftovers.

This rule has also been gradually cancelled as the living standards of the common people are getting higher and higher.

During the meal, the three uncles also specially arranged for the four young people to help seal the coffin together in the middle of the night.

But these have nothing to do with Xu Damao, he is just going home after dinner.

The aunt in the courtyard specially brought meals to the old lady.

Old lady: "Is it silly Zhu helping Jia's family cook?"

Auntie: "Well~ it's silly Zhu who is cooking. I heard that he is in the factory today."

"It's the clothes he helped Jia Fei change, and he also paid for the shortfall for the funeral."

"You haven't seen me, old lady. Jia Zhang's family wronged everyone for hacking her family's money."

"So no one is willing to lend her money, this stupid Zhu is really kind-hearted."

The old lady: "take this meal away. I saw that the dishes that silly Zhu helped Jia's family make were a little dirty."

Big Mom….

The aunt couldn't beat the old lady, so she had to leave with the food.

While walking, I muttered that the women in the yard were all helping while cooking, and it was very clean!

I really don't understand why the old lady said that, so I'd better ask my old man later.

Qin Huairu and the sisters were also talking at home at this time.

Qin Jingru: "Sister, fortunately you divorced that short-lived ghost Jia Fei."

"Otherwise, you will be a widow now, and that old lady Jia Zhang is so difficult to serve."

"It's not that I said it badly, in that case you will have a hard time in the future."

Qin Huairu is also very grateful for his decision to divorce at that time.

In my heart, I also feel a little bit of gratitude to Jia Zhang, if it wasn't for her forcing her.

How could she have come to this point, but this grateful thought was quickly extinguished by her.

Qin Jingru: "Sister, what are you going to do when Jia Fei is dead?"

Qin Huairu: "What can I do? When he didn't follow me, I almost got pushed by him."

"It's not easy for me to pull two children with this amount of money a month."

"I will only be happy for him if he is doing well. If he is not doing well, I just ask me not to come to my door, so I will pretend that I didn't see it."

Qin Jingru knew that Xu Damao didn't want to see the boy Bang Terrier.

For fear that my sister's taking over the stick will affect Xu Damao's mood, then his future work will be suspended.

So she kept talking ill of Jia Zhang and Bang Terri, and even used words like the old goddess and the thief.

Qin Huairu certainly knew what his cousin was thinking, but he was also very conflicted in his heart.

So let's ask Xu Damao tonight.

But don't make him unhappy if you are soft-hearted when the time comes.

At this time, Xu Damao had already had enough to eat and drink, chatting with others on the side.

Waiting for the uncle to explain the last thing, you can go home and sleep.

Dutiful sons and grandsons eat leftovers, and poor sticks finally wait until everyone is full.

Someone brought him a bowl of dilute leftovers, and it was the uncle who found that there was no food.

Those who had never finished eating had throttled down from the bottom of the bowl, fearing that it would not be enough for their grandparents and grandchildren, so they added some water to it.

Afterwards, the uncles said the time to send Jia Fei back to his hometown for burial tomorrow.

In addition, the second uncle will take people a step ahead tomorrow and go back to communicate with the village cadres.

The uncle and Xu Damao also contributed their bicycles.

Let the people who go back to dig the pit with the second uncle tomorrow can dig it first.

Because the pit had to be dug before the coffin reached the ground, the two groups of people could not meet.

It was finally over, and the first thing Xu Damao did when he got home was to wash himself up.

I spent a day with the dead today, and I felt very uncomfortable without washing it a few times.

Xu Damao had just come out of the space to take a shower, and he hadn't had time to get dressed yet.

Qin Huairu opened the door and came in, seeing Xu Damao like this.

Her face changed immediately, and she walked slowly to Xu Damao's side.

Stopping him from continuing to put on clothes, his little hand grabbed lightly.

Comrade Xiao Mao completely fell, after the concert ended.

Qin Huairu expressed his worries: "Da Mao, what am I going to do to him after you talk about the stickman?"

Xu Damao: "Don't think about it so much for now, the main thing is to keep the fetus well."

"It's up to you to be as happy as you want. You can do whatever you want."

"Although I'm not optimistic about the future of Bang Terri, I will support you no matter what you do."

"But let's say it in advance, you don't want to help the stick to take any resources from me."

Qin Huairu was still thinking about his words after leaving Xu Damao's house.

It probably means that he doesn't care if he wants to help Bang Terrier, but Xu Damao won't give him anything.

Qin Huairu hesitated again now, and she didn't know what she would do in the future.

The uncle's family is also discussing the matter of Jia Fei's family, but when it comes to the attitude of the old lady at dinner today.

The uncle fell silent, it seems that there are things that he does not know.

After looking at the time, the uncle went out and called the others to prepare to seal the coffin.

At this time, the street was pitch-dark, and only two lanterns were still lighting on the side of the spirit shed.

It was very quiet in the spirit shed now, Bang Teng couldn't stand it and fell asleep, and Jia Zhang was also holding on.

With the arrival of everyone, Jia Zhang's spirit was also energized, and he also woke up the stick.

Then it was lighting incense, burning paper, and the coffin was tightly sealed in Jia Zhang's cries.

The uncles and Jia Zhang briefly explained a few words and left with everyone.

If it wasn't for help at this time, no one would want to come here.

The next morning it was still early in the morning, and the second uncle had already started calling.

Afterwards, everyone in the courtyard got up, and breakfast consisted of polenta, pickles, and wowotou.

Today is a tough job, especially the ones who dig the pits.

After dinner, Uncle Er and the others carried shovels and rode all the bicycles in the courtyard.

The rest are also cleaning up the things in the shed, and sending back the borrowed pots and pans.

After everything was sorted out, Jia Fei's coffin was also carried to the carriage he rented yesterday.

Mrs. Jia Zhang walked in front with the stick and stem carrying the flag.

Everyone followed behind the carriage, and only Jia Zhang was crying along the way.

Stick Terrier only cried a few times when Jia Zhang was hitting him hard.

Everyone watching this scene shook their heads, no matter how long the journey is, there will be a time.

Everyone met the second uncle who was waiting here at the entrance of the village.

The second uncle not only ignored Jia Zhang, but also snorted hard.

Later, through the remarks of the second uncle, everyone learned about Jia Zhang's popularity in the village.

It's not too much to describe it as smelly. If the village chief didn't want to mess with the people in the steel plant, it would be difficult for Jia Fei to be buried today.

You can just find a place to bury in the wasteland, but it is impossible for him to contact the villagers to help.

Hearing all this, everyone looked at Jia Zhang in unison, this person is really amazing.

Not only did she offend the people in the courtyard, she didn't expect her to be so powerful in her own village.

I just don't know how Jia Fei will survive in the village after she dies.

The uncles are also very glad that many people came today, otherwise there would be no help in the village, and they would not even be able to put the coffin in the pit.

Don't say anything, this time it's the second uncle who will lead the way.

The group followed the carriage to a wasteland outside the village.

Then everyone shouted neat numbers, with the help of sticks and ropes.

After sending Jia Fei to his final place, Bang Teng took a shovel and lifted the soil symbolically.

The rest was the group of people from the courtyard together to bury Jia Fei completely.

Jia Zhangshi cried so badly, and the stickman still looked like he didn't care about me.

Everyone was taken aback, and no one paid any attention to them.

After the pit is filled, everyone will withdraw, and the three uncles and Xu Damao can't leave yet.

Because the people from the security department also came at this time and saw that the funeral was over.

When he came to Jia Zhang's side, the handcuffs were immediately put on handcuffs, and the stick was no exception.

During the whole process, Jia Zhang was crying and making trouble, but under the two slaps of Comrade Security Section, the world became quiet.

At this time, all the people watching the lively in the village came, and all of them pointed at Jia Zhangshi and Bang Terri with expressions of schadenfreude.

After a few words with each other, everyone parted ways.

People are driving side three, so naturally they can't walk together.

However, there was a lot of chatter along the way. Jia Zhang's popularity in the village was also taken away by the security department.

The atmosphere was happier than before.

After walking to the courtyard, it was already late, and this time there was no one to take care of the meal.

So they went back to their respective homes, and Xu Damao asked Liu Feng to give him the bicycle and put it in the courtyard.

He abducted, seeing that there was no one nearby, and sneaked into his aunt's house.

He just didn't want to eat out, definitely not craving other things.

Auntie and Mu Chunhua were very pleasantly surprised by Xu Damao's arrival.

Knowing that he hadn't eaten yet, Mu Chunhua hurriedly went to the kitchen to add dishes.

Xu Damao and his aunt were sitting together and talking in private.

By the way, I chatted about Jia Fei, and when my aunt heard about Jia Zhang's popularity in the village, she was also very speechless.

At this time, Mu Chunhua had already brought the dishes and greeted Xu Damao over for dinner.
