Chapter 408 Funeral ([-])

"Huo An's life is considered content!" Qian Ming pulled Huo Jiaojiao to persuade him: "Look, how many leaders have come here. The mayor and the head of the township have come, so stop crying here. Weird."

"Why don't I howl? My brother is gone, why can't I cry!" Huo Jiaojiao knelt in the coffin and wailed, and Zhang Yao followed into the coffin to wipe her tears.

"Where's the coffin?" Song Jiangang couldn't help pulling Qian Ming and muttering, "Didn't it mean that his comrades sent him back?"

"The ashes were sent back. A good living person was burnt to ashes." Qian Ming sighed regretfully: "Now Kou Xi is left alone. How can she support the child as a woman? If the ones can be supported, the adopted ones should not be sent home?"

"I'm afraid that my own will not be supported and thrown to the old man." Song Jiangang couldn't help but maliciously speculate: "Can she be guarded by Huo An for the rest of her life? Let me tell you, while the leaders are here, we can discuss the aftermath. What are you doing?"

He pointed to the coffin and said, "The money spent is for the living to see, and the real suffering of living is yet to come."

While talking, Wang Yazhi led the people to come out in a file, each carrying a tray.In Wang Yazhi's hand is a pig's head, behind it is a whole chicken, and behind it is a fish.

"The pig's head and three animals?" Song Jiangang couldn't help frowning: "Kou Xi is so generous? Is this funeral expenses reimbursed by the public?"

"Kou Xi has always been generous. This time it's her man's funeral. She must do it beautifully." Qian Ming looked at the three animals on the altar table with enthusiasm, thinking that when his old father passed away, they Even the brothers pooled their money and couldn't come up with these things.After all, the dead are gone, and the living still have to count their daily necessities.

"Okay, get up quickly. Go see Kou Xi and the children!" Seeing Huo Jiaojiao crying sadly, Qian Ming worried about her health.Pulling her to stand up, he whispered in his ear, "There are still a lot of things to do in the future. For Huo An's sake, you need to help her."

Huo Jiaojiao looked desperate and gave up, and said coldly: "When my brother was alive, I regarded her as a treasure, and when my brother is gone, I don't care what she does."

"Then there is still a child! Mi Le is still young, so if he doesn't count on his own mother, can he count on your father?" Qian Ming is also a father himself, so he naturally understands what the most urgent thing to do is.

"Don't forget, your brother's pension is quite a lot. Whether the money is for the child or for her, it's up to others to fight for it. These have to be negotiated." Qian Ming thought very long-term: "Li Cuilian That person's temperament of scoring half of the broom, this time Huo An is gone, if she didn't make trouble, she really wouldn't be her."

"I'll go and see her!" Huo Jiaojiao wiped away her tears, and was supported by her husband into the house.

Kou Xi did not live in the main room, but still stayed in his own room.Most of the furniture in this room was moved to the new house by her, so when Huo Jiaojiao came in, it was even more empty and depressed.

Kou Xi led the two children to sit on the kang, and Tang Jinzhi sat beside her talking with her.There were also a few women that Huo Jiaojiao didn't know, who seemed to be relatives of the Kou family.

"Her aunt is here!" Tang Jinzhi turned sideways to make room for Huo Jiaojiao, and then introduced to several women around: "This is my uncle's sister, born by the same mother!"

Kou Xi looked up at Huo Jiaojiao, her eyes were swollen to the size of walnuts.Huo Jiaojiao felt a little pity when she saw it, thinking that her younger brother liked this younger brother and sister very much when he was alive.Seeing her leading a child who can't walk at such a young age, I feel even more pitiful.

He took a step forward and sat on the kang, held Kou Xi's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't cry, how can you take care of the child if you cry badly?"

She hugged the obedient Mi Le who was sitting beside her again, thinking that Huo An didn't even have a child left behind, so she couldn't help but burst into tears with such a girl.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Huo Jiaojiao couldn't help persuading Kou Xi again: "Stop for a few days? Where are you going to be buried? How many days will my colleagues in the unit stay here? Who will entertain me?"

"Three comrades have come, and we will arrange to live in this old house for the time being. Her father and her second uncle are with her, and our two boys are also taking care of her." Tang Jinzhi is very fortunate that there are many men in the family. Now, I can help Kou Xi to support things.

Speaking of it, I couldn't help blaming Huo Dagui: "He just said that the funeral will be held in his place. You said that the place is not big, so when you come up, you say you want to build a coffin in his yard and ask us to pay for the wine. This The son just died, so it’s reasonable to count the daughter-in-law’s money. Although this is the matter of the old Huo family, our old Kou family is not empty."

Huo Jiaojiao heard Li Cuilian's temper at her natal home, and when she came here, she also blamed Kouxi for setting up the coffin shed here.

"Since the family is separated, it is impossible for us to hold funerals there. Even if I don't tell you, elder sister, you will understand that it is impossible for Huo An to be at the stepmother's house."

Kou Xi took a deep breath: "The coffin will be set up for three days. When you are buried, go to the Martyrs Cemetery instead of being buried here."

Huo Jiaojiao's complexion changed: "Not buried in the old Huo's ancestral grave?" She raised her voice a few times: "Why? Have you discussed it with my father?"

"Huo An is a soldier, so he has his own way back. Only in the martyr's cemetery will anyone remember his sacrifices. That is where he should be buried. He is buried in the ancestral grave without even a tombstone." Kou Xi stared at Huo An with a solemn expression. Jiaojiao said: "You don't need to discuss this matter with him, and you don't need him to agree or disagree. I have the final say!"

Huo Jiaojiao was so choked that she couldn't speak, she nodded for a while: "You are right, the martyrs' cemetery is where he should go. Ordinary people are not qualified yet."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were relatively silent, and after a long time, there were lively crying outside.Zhang Yao pushed the door open and entered, and said loudly to Kou Xi: "Mom and Dad are here, let you go out."

Kou Xi put on the filial piety clothes, and put them on for Niu Niu and Mi Le.She held Niu Niu's hand, and Tang Jinzhi hugged Mi Le.Go out of the house and into the spiritual shed.

Seeing a group of dark people standing outside, Huo Dagui walked up to Kou Xi excitedly: "I said in the morning that the township chief was coming, why didn't you tell me. Come quickly, come here soon. After this, the township chief and the town chief Help, you won't have a hard time."

Geng Township Mayor is the former Geng Mayor, and he had contacted Kou Xi several times before because of the purchase of the store.Later, Kou Xi would send some gifts to Mayor Geng’s house every new year and festival. At first, he would send some local chickens and fat sheep. After getting acquainted with her daughter-in-law, he would send some high-end cosmetics sold in department stores.

Therefore, when Huo An passed away, Township Chief Geng knew about it, so he would come down to offer his condolences in person.The mayor of the township came here in person, and the mayor of Hongqi Town and people with dignity and status here also followed.

Huo Dagui was originally angry with Kou Xi, but the father-in-law started a fight with his daughter-in-law.He insisted on not coming to the coffin shed in the backyard to take a look, because he wanted to make Kouxi lose face in front of the neighbors.

Unexpectedly, there were rumors in the town that because Huo An was a soldier who died for the country, some leaders came to offer condolences.The leaders all came in person, how dare Huo Dagui pretend to be big.

Then he became a loving father again, pulling Kou Xi to act
