Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

In the 1990s, two types of bands were usually invited to attend funerals in many rural areas of Shao City: the orchestra and the Western band.

The Western band did not enter the venue until the day before the funeral, which was relatively late.

The orchestra came earlier and entered the venue on the first day of the funeral.

The orchestra usually has between 8 and 12 people, including drummers, cymbals, flutes, charge horns, and finally two or three suona players.

Whenever someone comes to watch a live performance, the guests first set off firecrackers to enter the venue. This is a sign of respect for the deceased and the host's family, and also to create excitement.

Of course, there is also a folk saying that firecrackers drive away evil spirits, and setting off firecrackers at the deceased's home also means to drive away filthy things.

But no matter which version is said, when a guest sets off firecrackers, the host will immediately play back a firecracker, and then the orchestra will play music to welcome the guests.

At the same time, the filial son must also respond, and someone must cry in front of the mourning hall.

If no one cries, it means it is unlucky. The more discerning guests will stop outside and not come in. If there is no cry after waiting for a long time, some will just turn around and leave.

Of course, it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t cry, or even one in a hundred years.

Usually, the daughter, Dai Xiao, lies on the coffin lid and cries, while the son leads a group of filial sons to kneel down and worship the guests.

After guests enter the mourning hall, they will follow the principle that the deceased is the greatest, and first go to the mat in front of the coffin to bow three times and kneel down. Then he helped up a group of filial sons who were kneeling in front of him and said some words of comfort.

Afraid of the crowds and difficulty of waiting in line, there were two mats in front of the coffin.

The first people to enter were Chen Risheng and Sun Jun. After bowing and kneeling three times, Mi Jian and Lilith followed suit.

Since Yang Yongjian and Sun Jun had a cold war for almost a year, Zhang Xuan didn't see each other for a full year.

However, Sun Jun was still the same, short-haired and thin. He said to Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling: Old classmates, my condolences.

Du Shuangling blushed and said thank you.

Chen Risheng was very serious today. He also said some words of comfort in a serious manner, and then gave up his seat to Mi Jian and Lilith behind him.

Looking at each other, Mi Jian and Du Shuangling were silent, and then they hugged each other with a connected heart.

Mi Jian said: I'm sorry Shuangling, Chen City is far away and I couldn't make it to meet my grandpa before he was alive.

Mi Jian and the old mayor are not related. Logically speaking, Mi Jian's presence is the greatest sincerity.

The reason why she said this was to tell Du Shuangling silently: You will always be my best friend. I came here just for our friendship and for no other purpose.

Its implicit meaning is: Regardless of whether there are misunderstandings or other disputes between us, I am not here to provoke you and demonstrate. I am here with sincerity.

They are both smart people and have known each other for so many years. Du Shuangling naturally understood Mi Jian's words, Thank you. I am already very grateful to you for coming all the way here.

It was much better for Lilith and Du Shuangling. After all, the paper between the two of them was not broken. They hugged each other, said a few words and went outside.

When Mi Jian entered the scene, Du Jingling had been observing Zhang Xuan's expression.

She knew very well that the person her sister was most afraid of was Mi Jian who came out of the painting.

In fact, Du Shuangling was not only afraid, Du Jinling was also worried. She was even thinking that even if she was experienced and capable, Mi Jian wouldn't be very sure if she swapped places with her sister.

However, what comforted Du Jinling a little was that Mi Jian, who had a condensed temperament, was good-looking, but seemed to be very reserved. She also understood half of what he said just now.

After observing the whole process, Du Jingling found that Zhang Xuan had been looking at his nose and his heart. He was greeting and talking to Mi Jian and Lilith, but there was no ambiguity.

This scene where the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water made her couldn't help but wonder, was her sister's worries unnecessary?

While Du Jingling was observing Zhang Xuan, Xiao Shaowan, who was standing in the crowd and watching, was also observing Zhang Xuan.

It is said that laymen see the excitement, while insiders see the door. Others don't know Zhang Xuan's habits and think that Zhang Xuan, Mi Jian and Lilith are good friends, nothing more.

But in Xiao Shaowan's eyes, it was completely different.

hehe…! How familiar is this scene of pretending to be dead?

During the first and second years of junior high school, when facing Du Shuangling, Zhang Xuan behaved like this as long as he was present.

At that time, Xiao Shaowan naively thought that her boyfriend was a man who could handle things clearly. He was lukewarm to his best friend and was polite while keeping a distance.

But as time passed, Xiao Shaowan realized something was wrong.

And the subsequent results also proved that the worries and quarrels he had before breaking up with Zhang Xuan were not at all unfair to him.

Of course, although Du Shuangling was indirectly responsible for the quarrel and breakup between the two, Xiao Shaowan did not put all the blame on Du Shuangling.

She believed that her youthfulness, impatience, and inexperience in handling relationships were also major factors that led to the breakup.

But even so, when seeing Zhang Xuan look like this again today, and thinking of the scene of the two riding bicycles that Shao Shi saw, Xiao Shaowan wanted to laugh, but he felt complicated.

Xiao Shaowan is sure that the relationship between Zhang Xuan and Mi Jian is not simple, and Du Shuangling is in danger.

Women understand women, and Xiao Shaowan naturally knows that a woman like Mi Jian is simply a fatal poison for men. As long as Mi Jian gives him something sweet, Zhang Xuan will never be able to resist it.

But there is one thing that Xiao Shaowan doesn't understand: With Mi Jian, why would Zhang Xuan be so obedient as the son-in-law of the Du family?

Why didn't you abandon Du Shuangling?

Thinking back to the beginning, after he broke up in anger, Zhang Xuan never came to coax him or tried to reconcile.

Even when they met on the road several times, Zhang Xuan just looked up at the sky and walked past, which made Xiao Shaowan very angry.

What is Du Jingling thinking? What is Xiao Shaowan thinking? The old man doesn't even know, it doesn't matter even if he does.

No one understands the relationship between themselves and Shuangling, and no one can understand the status of Shuangling in their hearts.

In this situation, even if Mi Jian is here, he will not be distracted by what he does to Mi Jian and Lilith.

He has been telling Shuang Ling and Mi Jian with his actions that he wants both of them and will not use anyone to look down on the other.

Grandpa passed away. Although Du Shuangling was sad, he knew the general situation well and took the initiative to take Zhang Xuan to sit at the table with Mi Jian, Lilith, Sun Jun, Yang Yongjian and Chen Risheng to eat noodles.

Du Shuangling said softly: Thank you for looking up to my grandpa, and thank you for supporting me and Zhang Xuan. Lunch will be left in two hours. Let's have a bowl of noodles together first.

Seeing that everyone is concerned about Mi Jian, let's say something in March.

Mi Jian's scenes are all behind, and the portion is quite large, so don't worry...
