Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

When the old man of the Lin family passed away, everyone was uncontrollably sad and burst into tears inside and outside the house. The old man had been ill for a long time, especially when he was dying, so everyone in the village knew that someone had already come to help.

At this time, a person who specializes in helping other people's family affairs, also known as Zhang Luo in the local area, hurriedly came forward to arrange the old man's funeral. Everyone in the Lin family is distracted at the moment, and they all rely on Zhang Luo to take care of these things.

Since the old man was waiting for his grandson to come back, the family members also understood the old man's condition, so they wiped the old man's body early and put on his shroud. It's just that the weather is hot, and all the clothes outside are unbuttoned. The old man's coffin was also made long ago and is now placed in the shed outside.

On the ground outside, a funeral bed had been set up a long time ago, with a mattress for the deceased and pillows laid out for the deceased, and all the necessary items were complete.

Zhang Luo ordered his eldest son, eldest grandson and others to come forward, while other relatives helped him and carried the old man to the coffin. Everything after that was done according to Zhang Luo's instructions, and the Lin family just followed it.

The Lin family members all wore sackcloth and mourning, knelt in front of the soul and cried non-stop.

The old lady was also crying hard. She and the old man got along very well. Although she knew in her heart that the old man would have this day sooner or later, she still couldn't accept it.

The old man passed away in the afternoon, and according to local custom, he was called Xiao San San. It was from the time when the old man died that he would be buried for one day, and the funeral would be held early on the third day. Zhang Luo ordered people to go to relatives' homes to report the funeral. Zixuan, Zifu and Zixin each took people out to report the funeral.

People in the village came to express their condolences one after another. The Lin family was a good person in the village, so there were many people paying their condolences. Visitors should kowtow in front of the spirit, and filial sons should kowtow in return.

After the Xu family received the news, they immediately asked Zhixin to bring someone over to express condolences. The old man of the Xu family is getting older and is not in good health these days. He does not dare to come to such occasions. In addition, people from the Yue family and Sun family also came, as did Zhide and Qingnian.

There is no need to list all the complexities of a funeral.

On the third day, the old man put the coffin into the coffin, and then the young man who helped in the village carried it to the place chosen long ago in Nanshan for burial.

The Lin family only came to the village in the old man's generation, so there are no ancestral graves here. When the old man was alive, he said that if he died, he would not be sent back to his hometown, but would be buried on Nanshan Mountain. He wants to see future generations thrive and prosper here. So everyone followed the old man's wishes and found a place with good Feng Shui on Nanshan Mountain, bought it, and kept it as the Lin family's cemetery.

When the old man is buried, the funeral is mostly completed. When everyone returned to Lin's house, a banquet had been prepared by the helpers. They were grateful to those who came to help and express their condolences.

After sending away the helpers, only the Lin family members were left. Everyone was sitting in the room, feeling a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Erlin's wife suddenly spoke, "Sister-in-law, since our father is gone, we should talk about some things, right?"

Mr. He was stunned. The old man had lived here for six or seven years. In the past few years, all the doctors who asked for medical advice were paid by the big family. Even this funeral was paid for by the big house. Is there anything else to say? "Brother and sister, I don't know what you mean. Is there anything else we haven't explained clearly?"

"Sister-in-law, why are you pretending to be dumbfounded? I received a lot of gifts for the old man's funeral this time. What's going on? Dasou wants to keep it all for himself? That's not possible. Erlin is also the old man's son. How can you do this? Don't act like you're taking it all to yourself," Erlin's wife said with a bitter look on her face.

Mr. He was a bit dumbfounded now, "Sister-in-law, do you even notice this little gift money?"

"Our second bedroom is not like a big one. We have two sons who are officials. We have a big family and a big business, so we don't care about anything. We are from a small family and want to spend every penny we have. Of course we have to take it into account. Went." Erlin's wife said without any concern.

Next to her, Zixuan's aunt quit, "Second sister-in-law, what are you going to do? Our father has just passed away, and you are making a fuss like this. Okay, if you want gift money, then your second wife should also do it." Share the money spent on this funeral equally? When dad was alive, he favored you a lot, and he gave you more during the family division. In the past few years, the elder brother has been supporting the two elders. What else do you want? "

"Hey, listen to what our aunt said. What's wrong with Dafang's contribution? As the eldest son, he should get his share. Our family is poor and cannot afford to support the elderly. We are afraid that we will treat the elderly badly and let the elderly have money with Dafang. What's going on? You're a married aunt, is it your turn to speak?" Erlin's daughter-in-law shouted at Zixuan's aunt.

Aunt Zixuan's face turned red with anger and she turned away from looking at her.

Next to him, Xingye kept holding his wife, not letting her speak. "Sister, don't listen to your sister-in-law. She's acting stupid today. Sister-in-law, I don't mean that. Don't listen to her chattering here."

Er Lin's wife slapped Er Lin's hand away angrily, "You loser, why did I marry you? Their big house is popular and they drink spicy food. How comfortable is their life? With such a small amount of money, they still have Is there such a thing as occupying someone?"

"Sister, don't get angry with her, it's not worth it." He persuaded Aunt Zixuan, and then said to Erlin's wife, "Sister-in-law, it is natural for the eldest son to take care of the elderly. In these years, our father has never suffered any grievances in our eldest house. He has the best food and supplies. Mother can testify to this. However, taking care of the elderly is not only the responsibility of the eldest son, but every son should be filial. In the past few years, you didn't take turns to take care of the elderly as agreed. You didn't send the support you should have given to the elderly, and now you come to ask for gift money. No matter how you talk about this, you don't care." He is not a pushover, but today is the day when the old man's funeral has just started, so He will naturally not quarrel with Erlin's wife at this time. He looked at the wooden old lady on the kang, "Today, for the sake of the old lady, I won't quarrel with you. You decide how to divide the gift money, and I'll give it to you. But remember, don't bother our mother in the future."

The old lady seemed to have just come to her senses, and looked at the people in front of her, "Stop quarreling, second son, take your wife and get out of here immediately. Your father has just been buried, and I'm still here, why are you making a fuss? Today I've made it clear to you that I will still live with the eldest son in the future, and I don't need you to take care of anything. When I die one day, the things I have left will also belong to the eldest son's family. If you make trouble again, let the eldest son drive you out, and you won't even be allowed to be on the family tree." The old lady now looked down on the second son's wife at all.

"Mother, how can you be so partial?" Erlin's wife wanted to continue talking, but was suddenly pulled behind by Erlin.

"Mom, we are leaving. Take care of yourself. I will come to see you again when I have time." Erlin dragged his wife out.

"Wait, second brother, since your sister-in-law said that the gift money will be given to you, I will have someone calculate it and give it to you. This little money will not make your brother rich, and it will not make you poor without it. There is no need to let you two go back to fight." Xingjia stopped his younger brother.

In the past two years, Xingye's changes have been obvious to all. He is no longer as afraid of his wife as before, and he can control his wife in general. Just now, it was because of the death of the old man that he was sad and distracted for a while, which made his wife throw a tantrum again. For the sake of his younger brother, Xingjia did not want to be unhappy because of a little money.

"Brother, you are slapping your brother in the face. This woman is crazy when there is nothing wrong. Just ignore her. Now our life is already very good. Big brother takes care of us in everything. How can we lack this little money? Big brother takes the gift money. If someone has problems in the future, we have to return the gift." Xingye said quickly. "Brother, we are leaving first. Wait for three days, and then we will go to bury our father together." After saying that, he took his wife away.

Zifu and Zixin also took their wives and followed their parents. The wife Zifu married is also a powerful one, but she is very decent. In the past two years, under the discipline of his wife, Zifu has worked hard at home. Although the mother-in-law makes some trouble from time to time, the couple's life is pretty good. Zifu has been silent just now. He also understands that his mother did something wrong.

Zixin also married a wife in the early spring of this year. His wife Yu is a very gentle woman. She will never speak in such occasions. Zixin has been farming and growing ginseng with his brother for the past two years, and things are going well for him. The couple is trying to make money and live a good life. Seeing his mother's appearance just now, Zixin felt a little ashamed. Before leaving, he looked back at his uncle and aunt.

"Uncle, my mother is just like that. You must not take it to heart." Zixin said, and then led his wife away.

After all the people from the second room left, the old lady relaxed, "Big brother, you only have one brother, and the second brother is strong now. If you need it, you can help him. After all, we are brothers. I will not be here in the future, and you brothers will be the closest people. Do you understand?" The old lady is also a sharp tongue but a soft heart. For her own son, which mother can be cruel?

"Mom, don't worry, my son won't abandon them. The two boys in the second house are quite obedient now. I also want to see the second house live a prosperous life. After all, we are all members of the Lin family." Xingjia nodded and agreed quickly.

I missed one photo. Oh, my memory is really terrible. This chapter is to make up for last night's. I will update today's later.
