The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 826

Rural people are also very particular about funerals. Rich people have a lot of ostentation, and poor people have to slap their faces swollen to pretend to be fat.

In fact, regardless of whether it is in the countryside or in the city, or in modern times, no matter how funerals are done, they are not for the dead, but for the living.

Zhang Qingshan was in mourning for seven days, and was buried on the morning of the eighth day according to the selected time. All relatives and friends formed a funeral procession and walked to the cemetery.

Paper money filled the sky in front, and people were crying loudly in the back.

Boss Zhang led his sons to kowtow step by step in front, and Zhang Daniu led a group of cousins ​​to kowtow step by step.

Behind, Mrs. Liu, supported by Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao, brought a group of daughters-in-law and other relatives' female relatives to cry.

In the rear are men and women, monks and priests.

The whole team was so solemn and depressing that it was breathless.

Everyone is very happy when a person comes into this world, but when a person leaves this world, everyone is very sad. Maybe you will think that you will have such a day.

When they arrived at the cemetery and were buried, Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it and passed out.

"Take your mother back. At such an advanced age, what can I do if there is another one?" Uncle Zhang said.

Others also persuaded in the same way, Mrs. Zhang cried.

"Sisters-in-law, take your mother back, and I'll see you off."

"How can I do that? I'll ask her eldest daughter to bring mother back." Zhang's second daughter-in-law said.

This aunt is Liu's natal niece, Feng Shi, who was finally called Feng Shi and several people in the village carried Liu back home.

When the time came, it was time to bury Zhang Qingshan's coffin into the pit and filled it with soil.

"father!"

Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground and cried.

She is really heartbroken.

Although Zhang's family is in the country, Zhang Qingshan is different from other fathers. He loves her very much, and every time he goes out, he will bring her some delicious food.

When she grew up, she was also asked to read and write. Although she couldn't go to school, she was asked by her brothers to teach her. This also made her much better than those women who couldn't read a single word. The threshold for finding a husband's family was higher than others. Not to mention going to work in the fields in the wind and sun like other country women.

All this is because of Zhang Qingshan's enlightenment.

"Father, why did you leave! I haven't fulfilled my filial piety yet! Father!"

In the end, Mrs. Zhang cried to death.

The brothers of the Zhang family were also in great grief. Without their father, they would not have become scholars, and they would not have lived the life they are now, especially Uncle Zhang, who suffered the most.

He fell to his knees, crying and hitting the ground.

"Father, I'm not filial, I'm not filial, I'm not filial!"

The aunt and son knelt beside him, crying along with him.

The people of Zhang's family were so sad that people shed tears, and they couldn't help but praise in their hearts, such children can't be found even with lanterns.

You know, when a person dies, the real grief of the loved ones is very important. The louder the cry, the better, and the longer the better. This makes the dead person very important, and the children are very filial. Compliments, this affects the next generation as well.

The days of winter are short, the cemetery is far away, and it gets dark after the burial.

Everyone dragged their heavy feet and supported each other to walk back.

When I went back, I couldn't cry anymore, let alone cry, and used up all the tears in the cemetery.

The family had already prepared hot water and hot meals for them, and the helpers in the village cleaned up the dishes after eating, and sent back the borrowed ones, so they could go back to rest.

The relatives still have to stay overnight, and those who don’t need to go home in a hurry will wait until the first seven burns are over before leaving. Naturally, they have to eat and live in Zhang’s house in the past few years.

Some are farther away, and you have to wait for Sanqi to burn before leaving, and you have to live for nearly a month.

In other words, some funerals have ruined their fortunes, and ordinary small households cannot afford to eat, drink, welcome and send them off.

Mr. Zhang and his family returned to their own residence. The second brothers Zhang and Mr. Zhang packed up and moved into the old house. They have to wait until the first seven days before they can leave. It is inconvenient to go back and forth in winter now. after.

Uncle Zhang's family still lived in their former wing.

The temporary residence is settled in this way, and the three meals a day are cooked by Zhang's second daughter-in-law and his aunt.

The third and fourth daughters-in-law also came, but they are not considered Zhang Qingshan's daughters-in-law now. They stayed for one day and left the next day, and the third and fourth children stayed to burn the first seven.

Mrs. Zhang is the most daughter-in-law, and since she has a daughter-in-law, it is not easy to intervene in these things, so she will accompany Mrs. Liu, and she will wait until the first seven are finished before leaving. Wang Mingyang will go back the next day.

"Mother, don't cry, what will you do if you break your body from crying?" Mrs. Zhang persuaded earnestly.

Mrs. Liu didn't look at her, she just closed her eyes and cried, crying as she spoke.

"Your father's words don't count. He promised to wait until I die before he dies, but now he has left me here. He is dead. He is so cruel!"

"Mom, dad doesn't want to do this either, he also wants to live a few more years, and he doesn't want to die either!"

"He is not blessed. He went there just after Da Niu Er Niu became an official. It was a time when he was living a good life, but he was lucky! When he was young, he would have no food or clothing. Now he has everything, but he can't eat. , I can’t even wear it! Oh my god, you’re so unfair!”

No matter how Mrs. Zhang persuaded her, Mrs. Liu would cry while talking, and finally Mrs. Zhang stopped talking, and sat there with her head bowed and weeping silently.

Mrs. Liu cried a lot, repeating over and over again, old man, what will I do when you die, what will I do if you are dead, and I will not calm down until I am tired of crying and fall asleep.

Mrs. Zhang covered her with a quilt, and leaned there. She was obviously very tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep. When she fell asleep, Mrs. Liu woke up again, and continued to cry until she fell asleep.

"Mother, this is not an option." Uncle Zhang came over early in the morning.

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Zhang rubbed her head wearily.

"Why don't you give mother some tranquilizing medicine?"

"I have already taken it in the medical clinic. The doctor said that it is not good to eat too much. Besides, can I still take the tranquilizer? Sooner or later, I will face it, and I will suffer this crime sooner or later." Zhang said, "Don't worry about it." Let's call my mother to make trouble for a few days."

Uncle Zhang also thought so, nodded and said.

Mrs. Liu fell asleep when she was tired like this, and made noise when she woke up, which lasted until the first seven days of burning.

"Mother, I'm going back, you want to drive more, take care of yourself, okay, don't torment yourself, and you will suffer if you torment yourself." Zhang finished packing his things, sat in front of Liu and said.

Like a child without a mother, Mrs. Liu cried while clutching her daughter's clothes.

"When are you coming?"

Zhang's tears fell again.

"I'll be back in two days."

After crying for a while, Mrs. Liu said cruelly.

"Don't come back! Why are you tossing back and forth in such a cold day! Come back when your father burns panax notoginseng. Mother is fine, mother is thinking about it!"

"Mother, are you really thinking about it?" Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it.

"Think about it! Really, you can go at ease."
