Home of Rebirth

After Xia Yue's grandfather was sent to the hospital, he died the next afternoon.

The shroud was prepared long ago, and the money was shared equally among the brothers and sisters.

Xia Yue didn't know what was going on in the south, and always felt that when funerals were held in the north, there were always many sayings.

What things get money from the son, what things get money from the daughter, what things should be done by the eldest son, and what things should be done by the eldest daughter.

A series of things are trivial and complicated, but they can't be sloppy at all.

According to the Chinese tradition, the ceremonial display at the funeral represents the sacrifice to the deceased. They believe that their deceased ancestors will bless them, so the more troublesome this kind of thing is, the more blessings will be available to future generations.

Xia Yue also believed in this.

In my mind, I always think about my previous life, my grand funeral, Meng Huaiyuan was about to cover him with the national flag, but without him, what would happen after my death? In the last life, he came to this world , no father, no mother, no wife and no children, I'm afraid it's just wrapped up in straw mats.

Because Xia Yue's grandfather lived in the home of his youngest son before his death, the mourning hall was set up in Zhao Zhigang's home.

The coffin of the old man stayed at Zhao Zhigang's house for three days. Mr. Yin Yang called it "Stop Ling". It was supposed to stop for seven days. funeral.

In the past three days, the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family have been so busy that they have no time to mourn. They just deal with the trivial matters of the funeral. Xia Yue is very worried about Xia's mother's health, but he can't persuade her, so he can only follow her all the time around.

There are many things to do during the three-day suspension, such as looking at the incense, burning paper money, and buying various paper papers.

Xia Yue stretched the filial cloth according to the size Mr. Yin Yang said, adults don't have to worry about it, just take one and wear it according to Mr. Yin Yang's instructions, what makes people worry about is the small one.

Xia Yue had to put the filial cloth on them one by one. After a while, the filial cloth of the cousin went to nowhere, and after a while, the paper clip on the filial cloth on the cousin's head was pinned to the hair. They didn't know why. Instinctively called Xia Yue.

Xia Yue's temper became more and more bad after being tossed about by these children. It happened that there was only one younger than him, and he couldn't control any of the older ones.

Guan Fu from the second aunt’s house is a bit older, but it’s okay to say that he is willing to wander around without anything to do. He is also courageous and bad. Chen Tianyu, the son of the old uncle's family, stepped forward and urged the boy to knock off his grandfather's birthday shoes several times.

An angry Xia Yue drove them out of the mourning hall with threats, then glared at Guan Fu, turned his head and scolded Chen Tianyu who looked like a monkey boy: "You can shop here, you touch your master's shoes It’s gone, after two days your grandfather will give your father a dream and ask your family to buy shoes for you.”

Although Chen Tianyu is young, he is a monkey spirit. When he heard that his father was asked to buy shoes, he immediately yelled: "My family has no money!"

"If you don't have money, be honest"

This kid used to be okay, but in the past two years, he has become more and more naughty with Guan Fu. Xia Yue yelled at him a few times, and after five minutes of silence, he started yelling again: "Brother, I'm hungry!"

"I'm hungry and go find your mother." Xia Yue's second uncle's cousin combed her hair. This girl combed a low ponytail. She remembered that the filial cloth would fall off as soon as she put it on. In the end, she couldn't help it. She begged Xia Yue to fix it for her, and Xia Yue tied it up for her directly. He made a bun upside down, and then buttoned up the filial piety cloth.

"No, no, my mother asked you to watch me, I'm hungry, go buy me something to eat." Chen Tianyu grabbed Xia Yue's clothes vigorously and never let go.

Xia Yue turned his head and glared at Guan Fu. It is impossible to be hungry after eating, and it must be that Guan Fu has nothing to do.

It doesn't matter how old Fu is older than Xia, and he usually cares about face, but in the past two years, Xia Yue skipped a grade to study, and he was the first in the exam. Everyone in the family praised him. They are both boys, and there is no difference in age , he was always compared by others, and Guan Fu was also bullied by Xia Yue, so he was always disliked.

So today, if he had nothing to do, he asked Chen Tianyu to trouble Xia Yue. Anyway, among these children, Chen Tianyu was the youngest, and no one could say anything about him, and he also heard from his mother that Xia Yue often did small business by himself, and he had money Well, if Xia Yue really went to buy food for Chen Tianyu, wouldn't he also get some.

Xia Yue was tortured by Chen Tianyu, turned around and took out an apple from the mourning hall, and handed it to Chen Tianyu: "Eat it, and just stay there after eating."

Chen Tianyu was very happy when he got the apple, he didn't even wash it, he took a bite, and said while eating, "Brother, this apple is not sweet, it's tasteless, please bring me another one."

Xia Yue glanced at him faintly: "Can it taste good? Those are all offering fruits, your master has eaten them already."

Xia Yue coaxed these brats to be physically and mentally exhausted. Before he could rest for a while, there was a lot of noise outside.

He frowned in confusion, got up and walked out, just in time to see Mother Xia coming in at the door.

Mama Xia was wearing a dark overcoat with a long burlap on her head.

"Mom, what's going on outside?" Xia Yue asked

"It's nothing." Mother Xia replied lightly, then stretched out her hand to tighten his clothes, and said, "Are you hungry?"

Xia Yue shook his head, and looked at Mother Xia worriedly.

Mother Xia patted her son's head with a laugh: "It's really nothing, it's none of our business"

……

It turned out that Xia Yue's uncle, Zhao Zhiguang, had come. This man hadn't been here since the old man was hospitalized until his death. He didn't come until the day after he died.

It is said that the old man has a lot of money, but his family has nothing to do with it, so it must be said that the money is in Zhao Zhigang's hands.

In the end, Zhao Zhiguang decided to go into Zhao Zhigang's house to search. The two brothers almost fought in front of the old father's spirit.

Just because the old man had a passbook with 5000 yuan in his hand before he was alive.

At the end of the matter, all the sisters of the Zhao family joined the battle, and even the third aunt who usually didn't make a sound was extremely fierce, which was even more ironic.

They really took the passbook from Zhao Zhigang.

Xia Yue looked at this farce and sighed. He thought that if the bankbook was found, the situation would calm down, but he didn't expect that the war would escalate.

Zhao Zhiguang scolded Zhao Zhigang for being greedy and wanting to embezzle the money left by his father, but Zhao Zhigang was full of grievances. He didn't know that the old man had hidden the passbook at their house, and he felt that since his father had hidden the passbook at their house, it was for him. He stayed.

This makes these people in the old Zhao family completely unwilling. They all think that the money must be shared equally among brothers and sisters.

Zhao Zhigang couldn't talk to a few older brothers and sisters by himself, but in the end he snatched the passbook, then turned around and ran into the house, locking everyone out with a bang.

Immediately, I heard Zhao Zhiguang yelling hysterically in the yard.

There were only a few children and Mama Xia in the room. Zhao Zhi just squatted under the wall and smoked without saying a word when he came in.

The cigarettes were dry tobacco rolled from tobacco leaves he bought himself, because he couldn't afford store-bought cigarettes.

This matter, Xia's mother's actions and actions made Xia Yue unexpected.

Because the brothers and sisters were quarreling outside just now, she stepped forward to persuade her to make up, and after she settled down, she turned around and went into the room without saying another word.

She watched Zhao Zhigang smoke half a cigarette, then sighed and said, "What do you want that money for, give it to them, otherwise Boss Zhao won't be willing."

"This money is indeed left by myself, and I don't want to give it to them at all, especially Boss Zhao, sister, tell me, for so many years, the two of us...we are the youngest, but which one of us settles down, the benefits are all Let those big ones take it, why, why does Boss Zhao have everything, why is he not satisfied with dad giving him so much money, why does he have the face to ask me for this money?"

"Dad gave him the money before he was alive. It's okay to say that you took the money now, which is somewhat wrong. You listen to my sister, open the door and give them the money. If you are short of money, my sister will have it." Mama Xia sighed .

Xia Yue nestled in his mother's arms, listening quietly, and the monkey cubs in the room were all gone, especially Chen Tianyu, whose dark face was full of panic.

"I won't give it, what can he do to me!!!" Zhao Zhigang read the cigarette butt on the ground fiercely, then wiped his face, and said bitterly: "What can he say, he hasn't grown up at all. Heart, back then he dared to take away your medical expenses in private, what qualifications does he have to dare to ask for money, I will not give it to anyone!!!"
