Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 455 Funeral (3)

   Zhou Dalang stepped aside, and Lang only stepped forward on Tuesday.

Qian still gave him a sling. After thinking about it, he added another sling, "I only used a sling when I was serving the fourth oldest wine, but before it was different, I didn’t talk about it this time. Everyone in the village must be invited, and meat is also expensive now, so you can buy more and be prepared for it."

  Tuesday Lang accepted the money and responded.

   "If it's not enough, get the things on credit first, and then pay back the money after the day after tomorrow."

  Feng went to the vegetable garden to stroll around, and came back and said: "Mother, I am afraid there is a shortage of vegetables in the vegetable garden."

  Although their family grows a lot of vegetables, on Tuesday Lang goes to the county town to sell vegetables almost every day, and it is difficult to serve so many people at once.

  Thinking about it, Qian got up and said, “I’ll go for a walk, you guys watch more at home, let the big head and big girl keep a watch on the small ones, and don’t allow them to run around.”

"Yes."

  This is the time when there are most vegetables in a year. When everything grows at its fastest rate, the vegetables in the ground can grow a stubble in two or three days, so as long as the family is not a lazy person, basically there will be no less vegetables.

  In Qili Village, every household does not have the habit of buying vegetables. When this family is interested in the food of that family, they just say a word, go back and have a taste.

  Lao Zhou’s food is often asked to pinch.

  Because they not only grow a lot of vegetables, they grow well, but they also have many varieties.

  There is a past, and naturally there will be one. Qian’s circle around the village will gather all the vegetables and vegetables to be used tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

  These things seem to have nothing to do with the younger children. It is Wulang and Zhoulang. They can only fight at home. Basically, they move where they are needed. They are not specifically responsible for things.

  Thursday Lang took some young people from the village to send letters to relatives, telling them, as to whether they will come, it depends on each family.

  But Lao Zhoutou didn't want to invite too many people. In addition to the current in-laws, which must be invited, he also invited more of his grandparents.

  After all, from Zhou Yin, the closest relatives besides the clan side are the other relatives.

  Bao knew nothing about these things. She was only asked to eat as usual, go to class as usual, and when she came back from the school, a large coffin was placed at home.

  Qian’s explanation to her was, “Just make a burial mound, let them be together, then you remember to give your uncle and aunt kowtow.”

  "There are also their children, mother, did you say that they are younger brothers or younger sisters?"

  Qian was taken aback for a while before he said: "I didn't say, he is young, so he doesn't need to set up special sacrifices, Man Bao, don't talk nonsense when you worship, you know?"

  Man Bao nodded suspiciously.

  The Qian family was worried, and it seemed that he had to tell the Taoist priests that only Zhou Yin's husband and wife should be recruited when calling for souls, but don't even recruit children.

   "Did you ask for leave with your husband?"

   "Please, I won't have to go to school tomorrow."

   "Well," Qian said, "You don't have to go to school, but you should go to bed earlier. You will be crying tomorrow."

   After saying that, let her go down to take a bath, and go to bed early to get up early.

  Tonight, the old Zhou family and even the children in the village slept exceptionally early. The genius was dark, and the sounds everywhere gradually became quieter. By the first half of the month, the whole village will only be the sound of insects.

  Lao Zhou put on his clothes and went out. Zhou Dalang and his five younger brothers all tied the white cloth and lifted the coffin quietly.

  Qian and Xiaoqian walked aside holding the torch, and then walked forward for a while, the next door opened the door, and someone came out with the torch and hoe...

  Wait in the cemetery outside the village, the torches surrounding them are already old and young.

  Lao Zhou did not ask who was here, the noise at night was not good.

  At the graveyard, everyone started digging.

  Picked up the tomb, and digging down about three meters before hit the rotten quilt.

  Everyone's movements were lightened, and they began to use their hands to remove the soil covering it, and then gently lifted the rotted and deformed quilt, and the two bones nestled together underneath were revealed.

  The clothes on their bodies are okay, but they are dark mixed with the original color and look ugly. Except for the hair on the top of their heads, their flesh and blood are all gone.

   Zhou Dalang said: "This is my brother-in-law on the left, and my aunt on the right. Don't make a mistake. Come and pick the bones. Give me the one on the left, and give me the second one on the right."

   "You have to wipe it."

  Qian and Xiao Qian immediately took out two large pieces of cotton cloth and said, "We brought the cloth."

  Lao Zhoutou kicked the old four, five and six’s buttocks, and said to the trembling three people: "What are you afraid of? Why don't you wipe it quickly, be careful, don't lose your bones."

  Hair actually broke away from the skull. With a gentle pull, they fell. Even if they had seen this battle, even if there were a lot of people around, they were too scared.

   Looking at them, Qian couldn’t help reaching out and touching their heads and smiled: “What a silly boy, this is your uncle and aunt. They love you in their hearts, so how can they dare to scare you?”

   "That is, it is blessed to wipe the bones of the elders, turn around and let your uncle bless you to make a fortune."

  The people around also responded, and the surrounding area of ​​the cemetery became lively, and the three brothers were not so scared.

  It's been three more days since they wiped all the bones and put them back in the coffin.

  Everyone filled the pit back and made it look like a tomb. Although it can be seen that this piece of land has been turned over, this piece of land is in Qili Village, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

  The Zhou family brothers carefully carried the coffin home and placed it in the middle of the hall.

  Qian and Xiao Qian unfolded the prepared shrouds and laid them on the two corpses.

  There are copper coins that should be put in, etc., and the Qians have put in a lot of them.

  One last look, everyone closed the coffin, and the people in the village put the nails on to completely seal the coffin.

  Everyone quietly hung white cloth on the gate and the main house. Lao Zhoutou did not buy a lot of white cloth, but the people in the village still felt that this funeral ceremony was enough.

  Not everyone can afford linen to hang on the door.

  It would be nice to have a white banner hanging.

  Man Bao was dug out of the bed before she woke up and put on her filial piety clothes. Xiao Qian's simply wiped her face to make her sober.

   Seeing her looking at her with round eyes, Xiao Qian’s whispered: "There will be guests coming in a while, you have to go to Dai Xiao, Man Bao."

   "So early?"

   "Yes, the master's house must be earlier." Xiao Qian coaxed Man Bao, tied a white linen cloth to Mai and her chubby waist, and led her to the hall.

  In the hall, a wave of rice cakes had already been burned. Xiao Qian brought Man Bao to Zhou Dalang's side and let her kneel in the first place.
