Chapter 438 Burial
Zhang Dajiang stood in front of a solitary grave, counted from east to west and said, "If we dig a hole here, when Yougen comes a hundred years later, Xiaoju will be right on top of him. Will Yougen be willing if you know about it?"

"No way? Is it such a coincidence?" Zhang Daquan asked at the side.

Zhang Dajiang said: "If you don't believe me, you can count. This will be your position when the time comes. Zhang Yougen's branch should be counted from this side. I won't talk about this branch after it has been moved. A tomb is calculated as more than two meters." , when you come here, you can probably line up and take a look."

Under Zhang Dajiang's command, Zhang Daquan walked a few steps from west to east, and then calculated the positions of several people on his fingers.Finally, he raised his head and said to Zhang Lan beside him: "Zhang Lan, come here and take a look. This is really what happened. What do you think should be done about this matter?"

Zhang Lan walked forward speechlessly, looked at the open space in front of him and said: "It's okay, this is all a matter for the future. I don't know what will happen then. Cremation is now generally required. I don't know what will happen in the future. Dozens Don’t worry about it after the year.”

Zhang Dajiang shook his head and said: "Zhang Lan, you are wrong. You may think that time is passing slowly, but in fact it is very fast. It is all happening right now."

Zhang Lan rubbed his forehead and said, "Then move left and right. I think Changsheng will take care of this himself."

In the end, Zhang Dajiang and Zhang Daquan were not sure how to arrange it. After all, they were outsiders, and it was up to Zhang Changsheng to decide where to bury them.

After seeing the cemetery, Zhang Lan returned home. Zhang Lan’s mother had packed all the bags in the main room. When Zhang Lan saw it, she quickly said: "You don’t have to bring so many things. Just have a meal tonight and come back tomorrow." What are you doing with so many things?"

Zhang Lan's mother arranged the things on the coffee table and said without raising her head: "What do you know? There are many things in here that Douduguoguo likes to eat. Bring more and let them follow you in the market these two nights." Live here.”

Regarding her mother's behavior, Zhang Lan sighed and stopped talking.It's close anyway, so it's just a matter of driving a few times.

After packing his things and locking the courtyard door, Zhang Lan drove his father, mother and two children to their residence in the city.

Chen Xiaoju did not hold on for long. She breathed her last in the latter part of the night on the first day of the Lunar New Year. When the village doctor came out of the house, everyone in the yard understood the situation.

Nowadays, the city has been very strict about burial matters. Although Qingshan Village is a little better, it is in a state where the people do not punish the officials, but they still have to cover it up.

After learning that Chen Xiaoju had passed away, a hurried memorial ceremony was held in the courtyard, and then Murakami, who specialized in white goods business, drove in from outside the courtyard in a car pulling the coffin.

The aunts and aunts of the family were responsible for dressing, while Zhang Lan and several other cousins ​​helped close the coffin.Finally, at about three o'clock in the morning, Chen Xiaoju's coffin was quietly driven to the ancestral grave, and after paying homage, it was buried.

It was the Chinese New Year, and there were many people in the village. After Zhang Dajiang and Zhang Daquan came out of the cemetery, they gathered everyone together and specifically told Zhang Changsheng and his wife not to worship for these two days, but to burn them at home if they wanted to on May [-] and [-] days. Just a piece of paper, if you want to do something big, just wait until the anniversary.

Zhang Dajiang is not an alarmist. Now the entire Canghe City is demanding resumption of farming. In the past few years, the farmland was returned to forests. This year, the trend of returning forests to farming has directly begun.

Talking about this on the way back, Zhang Dajiang couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what's going on now. If someone dies, it's like a chicken or a dog dies. Xiao didn't dare to take him with him, and he didn't dare to let outsiders know. Once he was killed, If you report it, the township will send people to exhume the body and cremate it.”

Zhang Daquan nodded and said, "Isn't that right? There was a case in Xiaowangzhuang just two years ago. It was dug out and cremated after being buried for seven days. You think it's bad luck or not?"

Zhang Jialin said: "I heard that the family in Xiaowangzhuang didn't care about it, and the urn is still in the crematorium."

Zhang Dajiang took a puff of cigarette and said: "It was just left in the crematorium. I heard that he was reported by his neighbor, and the two families are usually not on harmony. This time after reporting the report, I went to his house in the countryside, and the family said that they didn't care. Anyway, that's the case. After the burial, he was not allowed to go to the cemetery even if he was asked to do so. His neighbor took people there, but after the cremation, the family he was asked to collect the ashes did not go. He is still hanging there. I heard that the family is planning to file a lawsuit." "What's there to appeal for? This burial just doesn't comply with legal documents. There's no point in appealing." My cousin Zhang Zhipeng interjected.

Zhang Jialin smiled and said: "As long as you want to appeal, you can always find something wrong. There is no violation of regulations in this rural area nowadays."

Under strict investigation, no one usually takes care of this trivial matter, and it is only done after the anniversary.After coming back from the cemetery, it's basically fine.

When he finished washing and went to bed to rest, Zhang Lan looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o'clock.

It seemed that just after squinting for a while, he heard his mother calling him outside the door.Zhang Lan opened her eyes and responded. Zhang Lan's mother shouted from outside: "Get up quickly, there are guests at home, your aunts are here."

The second day of the Lunar New Year is usually the day when the daughter returns to her parents' home. Zhang Lan's four aunts usually come early on the second day of the Lunar New Year, put down the gifts and chat for a while before leaving.

The main reason is that Zhang Lan's aunts are also very old and have children. When they were in the second grade of junior high school, there were many guests at home.

Zhang Lan looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, stretched out, put on clothes, got up and washed his face, he suddenly became energetic.

When they arrived at the main room, three of Zhang Lan's four aunts were there. After entering the room, Zhang Lan smiled and greeted them one by one. After greetings, they sat together and chatted about Chen Xiaoju.

The third aunt usually only comes here in the third year of junior high school since she is far away. The eldest aunt, second aunt and younger aunt all live in nearby villages, so they just come to sit for a while before the guests arrive in the morning.

When it comes to Chen Xiaoju's affairs, everyone has gossip, and what they know is almost the same as what Zhang Lan knows.

Although it was said that people had to be carried on their backs, this kind of thing happened in rural areas, and now the Internet is so developed. In the words of Zhang Lan's sister-in-law Zhang Aili, on the afternoon of the accident, the news basically spread throughout their neighborhood.

After two or three days of fermentation, basically most people know it.

Zhu Wenhu, the brother-in-law on the side, also sighed: "Usually the villagers are so strict in arresting people for burials. You said that everyone knows about this and knows about the burial. There is not even a single person who comes forward to arrest."

The second uncle, Liu Guomin, told the truth: "We arrest those who have no backing and no trouble. Whoever dares to dig up such people and refuse to take the ashes will be sued, and then they will be full of shit."

After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhang Lan, his second aunt, and his younger sister all got up and left. There were guests at home today, so it was hard to stay long.

After the three aunts left, Zhang Lan said something to her mother and drove to the city.

Now that Chen Xiaoju has been buried, Zhang Lan plans to bring Qin Yongjun and the two children back. In fact, there is nothing wrong with him, but his mother is more shy, so it doesn't take much trouble, so Zhang Lan just goes with the flow.
