Rebirth begins with the collapse of the dowry

Chapter 33 33 [Let me come out]

Gao Shuyan is similar to her father, kind-hearted and shy.

When I was in high school, because my father was the head teacher, I didn't demolish the five and move the six in the class, and domineering.

It has always been low-key, the key is to study well.

In the end, I was admitted to the university as I wished, and it was still a book.

She was the only one in Chen Yang's class who was admitted to a university, and she won a lot of face for her father. Teacher Gao is such a low-key person, every time he talks about his daughter, he can't hide his smile.

Chen Yang didn't meet Gao Shuyan much in his previous life, it was just a very ordinary classmate relationship, every time he came to Teacher Gao's house, he basically couldn't meet her.

After Teacher Gao passed away, contact was slowly cut off.

I just heard that Gao Shuyan did not stay in the big city after graduating from university, but chose to return to Haishi, as if she had been admitted to a civil servant in some department.

She did this to take care of her mother, who was also in poor health.

Later, I heard that the marriage was not going well, and I got married twice, but they didn't last smoothly.
In short, vaguely, fate has not favored her in most cases, and she is a relatively lonely woman.

Chen Yang thinks about it now, the life trajectory of this girl is similar to his previous life, just referring to marriage, she is 40 or [-] years old, and she is still alone in the end.

Kneeling down to order a few pieces of paper for Teacher Gao, and kowtowed again, Chen Yang got up and went to Wu Xinfang, his wife, and helped her up to comfort her, "Aunt Fang, death cannot be resurrected, you must take care of yourself."

Say it.

Chen Yang's eyes were a little sore.

Even if you have been a human being in two lifetimes, you have seen a lot of things, but when you encounter this kind of scene, why is your heart not touched? After all, people's hearts are still fleshy.

"Shuyan, we are all here, just say something if you have anything to say."

Regardless of whether Gao Shuyan still had an impression of him or whether he knew him, Chen Yang spoke sincerely.

Since he came today, condolences are only on the one hand, and on the other hand, as squad leader Feng Shigui said, they, the living, should do something.

on the way.

Chen Yang has already discussed with Jia Sihong that he must help Mr. Gao's family manage some matters until the official burial.

Teacher Gao has no son, and only relies on Gao Shuyan's daughter, and now the situation is like this, what should I do if there is no one to help.

"Oh, it's a good thing you two are here. Let's stop gossiping and don't care about greetings. Whatever you can do, just help out."

out the door.

As soon as Chen Yang lit a cigarette, the squad leader Feng Shigui walked over with a tired face.

He arrived here early in the morning, and has been busy until now. He is busy with trivial matters, and notified Chen Yang and the others one by one. Now, let alone eating, he can't even take care of his saliva.

This is no way.

He was the squad leader back then and his own eldest son. He was already older than Chen Yang and the others. He went home to farm directly after failing to enter university.

My family lives nearby, in the same village as Mr. Gao, and the two families are usually close to each other.

Now that Mr. Gao passed away suddenly, he had to stand up and take charge of the overall situation due to emotion and reason.

Just now, I went around inside and out, and found that many students came.

But most of them are women.

It's okay for these people to help comfort the family members.

Let them do some physical work and it will be far away.

"How about you two digging, have you dug before?"

Feng Shigui patted Chen Yang on the shoulder. Teacher Gao not only has a daughter, but also a brother in his own generation. They fled from other places in the 80s of last century and settled here.

The family is thin and has no family.

Now people are gone.

Not even a relative who dug a grave could be found.

Neighbors around are more than willing to help.

But I dare not let them all go. People are needed to set up tents and recruit spirits (feudal superstition, which can also be called funeral customs) at home.

Seeing Chen Yang, he intentionally asked Chen Yang and Jia Sihong to cooperate with several neighbors to find a cemetery in Houcun and dig the pit as soon as possible.

It wasn't that Feng Shigui looked down on Chen Yang and let him do this kind of work.

The main reason was that he had heard that Chen Yang was working as a repairman with good physical strength, which was just right for him to do this kind of work.

To be honest, when we were in school together, Feng Shigui and Chen Yang had a relatively good relationship.

We played basketball together, and fought with other classes because of playing basketball together.

It's just that after graduation, everyone's destiny is different, they go to different places, and there is no chance to meet each other throughout the year, so they gradually become unfamiliar.

"That's no problem, why do you arrange for us to do it?" Chen Yang agreed with a smile.

Now that you are ready to help, there is no need to pick and choose.

Besides, as a student, it is only right and proper to dig a grave for the deceased teacher.

Then I went to dig a pit with several nearby villagers.

Everyone is either a peasant family, or a young man like Chen Yang, who is very quick at work.

In just two hours, the grave was dug.

Onmyoji (a folk artist similar to a wizard) walked around the tomb a few times, and after a while of chanting, Chen Yang and the others called it a day and returned to the yard with the shovel on their shoulders.

It was not yet twelve o'clock at noon.

Gao Shuyan's situation is much better than when Chen Yang first arrived.

After all, she was a sensible girl, knowing that it was not the time to break down and cry, so she suppressed her grief and started to finish her father's funeral together with Feng Shigui.

Seeing Chen Yang and the others come back from digging a hole, they also took the initiative to come over to express their thanks, "Chen Yang, thank you so much, I'll let someone wash my face with water"

Gao Shuyan forced out a smile, and led Chen Yang and the others to the room next to the mourning hall.

This house is the place where Mr. Gao lived before his death, and there is a washbasin in it.

"You don't have to worry about us, just say anything, we are not outsiders." Chen Yang replied, he thought Gao Shuyan didn't recognize him, but he didn't expect that he not only knew him, but also directly said his name.

Human nature is a complicated thing.

Two hours ago, when Chen Yang first came, there were indeed many classmates in and out of the yard.

But at this moment, most of the effort has already gone.

There were only about ten people left.

Probably as soon as they heard that they wanted to help, they all ran away.

Anyway, once Teacher Gao passed away, they basically had nothing to do with this family. It was already a dedication to buy a wreath to express their condolences today.

There are many people who hold this idea.

And there's nothing wrong with that, to put it bluntly.

Fortunately, Mr. Gao was very popular during his lifetime, and the nearby villagers volunteered to help. Even the teachers from No. [-] Middle School came to express their condolences from time to time.

After Chen Yang and the others took a break after washing their faces, they began to get busy again.

The tent is set up though.

But the drinks and ingredients needed for the event, including the filial piety clothes needed for funeral customs, have not been bought yet.

From a long distance, Chen Yang saw Feng Shigui standing at the gate smoking with a troubled expression on his face.

I walked over and asked, only to find out that there was no money to make trouble.

He, Feng Shigui, could be the general manager, assisting Gao Shuyan in organizing Teacher Gao's funeral, talking, yelling, greeting relatives and friends, and organizing everyone to help.

But when it comes to money, there is really no way.

First of all, he is a farmer himself, and his family's situation is not very good. The crops in the field have not been harvested this year.

Secondly, Teacher Gao was dragged back from the hospital this morning. In order to see a doctor, Gao Shuyan's mother and daughter have already spent all their family savings.

For a while, I really couldn't afford the money for the funeral.

"Approximately how much"

Chen Yang asked a question.

The most frustrating thing in this world is having no money at critical moments, and he can understand this feeling.

"Hey, I don't know the details. Shuyan asked relatives and friends to collect 5000. I can get 800 here. I guess I need 10000 to prepare."

Feng Shigui sighed.

These days, an ordinary family spends about 15000 yuan for a funeral. There is no way, just buying a coffin costs several thousand.

"I asked a few classmates just now, and everyone didn't have much money. They managed to raise another 2700, and now there is still a gap of more than 7000 yuan."

There are some things that Feng Shigui can't say out loud, he can only say that everyone has no money.

In fact, Chen Yang would understand what was going on, even if he didn't tell him.

"I'll pay the rest of the money." Chen Yang thought for a while, then raised his head and said.

After all, he is a reborn person, and he is destined not to be short of money in the future. Now that he plugs the 7000 yuan gap, it is nothing to help this poor family.
