Fragrant spring

Fragrant Spring - 256 Funeral like a battlefield

Shaoqiang sat blankly for a while, then took off his gold-rimmed glasses and shook them, cursing: "It's all these bad glasses, and such bad things happen once you wear them." The glasses were bought by Shaoqiang just now, and he I'm not short-sighted, but I just feel like a cultural person wearing glasses, so I bought fake glasses without prescription, and I'm going to show off when I go back to the village.Now he complained about the innocent glasses, which were also strong, and they were thrown a long way by him, but they managed not to break.

Shaoqiang came to the county town a few times and saw a little of the world. Instead of crying like his younger brother Shaowang, he stood up, took out 1000 yuan from his briefcase, handed it to Hailun, and said, "You Discuss with the brothers what vegetables and things to buy, and then buy them back in the county. If the money is not enough, Ah Jian and I will go to the bank to get it.” After speaking, he said to Ah Jian: “Ah Jian, let’s go, come with me Withdraw money."

To hold a liquor store in Muwa Village, it cost more than 1000 yuan to buy wine and vegetables. Shaoqiang only had 1000 yuan in cash, so he had to go to the bank to get it.He had been with Jiafu to save money, but he hadn't withdrawn it yet, and he didn't know how to do so. In order not to make mistakes, he specially asked Shang Ah Jian to go with him.

With money, things are easy to do. Qiaofen’s father passed away some time ago, and Hailun helped discuss matters, and Hailun helped to buy the vegetables. All the vegetables to buy were written on a piece of paper, and now they even brought the car windshield What about under the glass.It's almost the same in this rural area, although three people died, but those people came to drink, so Hailun didn't think too much, just took down the menu, and went to the farmer's market with a few people to buy.Everyone saw that Shaoqiang took out 1000 yuan from his briefcase casually just now, and said that he would go with Ah Jian to withdraw the money, so they no longer doubted that Shaoqiang was a rich man.

In fact, Shaoqiang's next actions convinced the villagers that he was truly a rich man.Shaoqiang and Ah Jian withdrew money at the bank, and they withdrew 2 yuan.I also went to the farmer's market to find Hailun, and asked him to buy double portions of the food and wine that he needed to buy, and invited the villagers who came to the county to eat pork rice.Shaoqiang was also confused. He thought that three people died, so there must be more wine and food. This is the reason why he wanted to buy double servings of food.

In the evening, Ah Jian returned to Muwa Village with a car full of people and goods. Those in the village who were waiting to see the jokes of Shaoqiang’s family saw that Shaoqiang not only came back, but also bought the food and wine needed for the wine When they came back, they all looked at him with admiration and helped unload the goods diligently. Shaoqiang is a rich man now, who wouldn't want to curry favor with him.

Shaoqiang returned home, put a stick of incense in front of his parents' coffin, and then took out another 2000 yuan to Li Zhishu, letting him take full charge of the drinking incident.In fact, the food and drinks have already been bought, so there is no need for so much money at all, and a hundred and eighty ones are enough.Shaoqiang also understood in his heart that he did it on purpose for others to see, anyway, he had to return the unused ones to him.

The villagers who originally thought that Bai was helping were also active. Under the auspices of Li Zhishu, those who slaughtered pigs killed pigs, and those who borrowed tables borrowed tables...Soon the oil pan was set up, and the wires and bulbs for lighting at night were also installed, and there were many people who came to help.Although the whole thing was in such a hurry, when it was time to light the lamps, the food was still prepared. There was a reason for the incident, and the villagers didn't need to inform, they came to eat by themselves.

Shaowang and Guiqin, who were still at a loss at home, solved all the problems within a few hours after seeing Shaoqiang come back, and felt a lot relieved.

The next day was the day of the funeral, and the whole Muwa Village came out to watch, even Shangtian Village had many people.After all, no one has seen the scene of carrying three coffins at the same time in one day, and it is still the scene of the same family.Some old people lamented that even when there was a famine in 1960, there were no three deaths in a day. This should be the first time since Muwa Village existed.

There are so many strongmen today, even some people in their 40s who have never worked in this industry have to put on their coats to go into battle.The strong men carried the coffin to the river with their bare hands, and then tied two long wooden sticks on both sides of the coffin.Shaoqiang and Shaowang were dressed in hemp and mourning, each supporting the head of a coffin.There is a rule in the countryside in this area. When an old man passes away, on the way to carry the coffin to bury, a son should help hold the head of the coffin.Raising children for the elderly In the eyes of Muwa villagers, this day is the most important.For families without sons, the son-in-law should also come out to take up this position.Like Qiaofen's family last time, if there is no son, the son-in-law will go to jail again, that will be looked down upon by others.

While the Hercules were tying the coffin, Guiqin took her daughter Xiaoyan and son Ah Bing, knelt behind and wept to deliver the spirit of the deceased.

Although Ah Jian was driving, he couldn't go out of the car today. He also wanted to be a strongman with Lin Huadongzi and the others. After the coffin was tied, the strongmen shouted "Hey" in unison.This is prestige, and it is also a traditional custom, which means that the strong men are the biggest, and this prestige is to deter those lonely and wild ghosts who come to beg for food, and make them go aside.Watching people carry coffins in Muwa Village is more enjoyable than watching a battle movie. When the strong men carry the coffin, they are like charging into battle, wading in water, crossing ditches, running all the way, not allowed to retreat .Coupled with the fact that someone set off firecrackers in front to clear the way, the smoke and dust along the way was even more spectacular.Today's manpower is indeed not enough, even the fool Mu De and half-child Jiang Feng are arranged to set off firecrackers.The three coffins were like three chariots, and they were carried out of the village in a short while.

Guiqin and the two children were there to send the spirits. They didn't want to send them to the cemetery, they just meant to send them a few hundred meters before they could come back.Someone had already lit a fire by the small river. They just took off their white cloths and threw them into the fire. Then they stepped over the fire and washed their hands and feet in a pot of water boiled with grapefruit leaves to get rid of bad luck. People from the natal family will put clean clothes on them, tie a red cloth strip on their arms, and give them a red envelope, so that they can go to the table to eat like other people when they go back.These are folk customs, called hanging red, and red cloth always represents auspiciousness in China.

Shaoqiang bought double servings of food and wine, and he only used up more than half of it last night and today. There are still a few big baskets of chicken and fish bought in the county, and now it's May and June, so we can't stay for long at all.So it was supposed to be a drink in the afternoon, but Shaoqiang left everyone to eat for another day, and left after eating these things.Everyone praised Shaoqiang Fang, and Shaoqiang politely said thank you for your help.In fact, it’s not enough to be less powerful but not generous. There are so many meat dishes that my family can’t finish eating, so it’s better to be generous once and leave a good impression on the villagers.Besides, he has long planned to build a reinforced concrete building in Muwa Village, and then he will need people from the village.

While Shaoqiang was being courteous to the villagers, Shaowang ran over in a panic and said dejectedly, "Brother, our cattle all died for some reason."

(What happened? The house of Shaowang’s house just collapsed and people died, and now the cow is dead again. What’s going on? The story of the little people in Muwa Village continues wonderfully, thank you!!!)
