Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Everything happened suddenly, but it seemed so natural. After all, for a centenarian, it seemed normal to die on that day.

The funeral of Mr.

The term "not big class" refers to not making any big scenes without showing off, but not keeping everything simple.

Du Suo was fighting in South Africa and couldn't leave, so Du Fei and Jie Chengwu came back, and Little Hutou, who was far away in Europe, was also rushing home.

First, inform the family about the old man’s death, and then Yang Dongxu goes to kowtow to people. The Yang family will definitely be too busy with the funeral, so they need to ask other people in the village to help, and it is appropriate to ask people to help kowtow at the funeral.

etiquette.

Mr. Xuan didn't have any relatives, so Yang Dongxu didn't have to go to his relatives' homes to kowtow and tell him that Mr. Xuan had passed away.

After inviting Yang Dongxu, he started to go to the coffin shop in the town to buy pipes and shrouds. Many people from the village had already begun to gather around the Yang family.

When weddings are held in rural areas, women usually bring their children over to eat wedding candies, while when funerals are held, men are usually the ones to take part.

Women are basically not busy outside. They go inside to tear off the mourning cloth or do other things. The size of the mourning cloth worn by the elderly in rural areas after death is particular, such as three feet, seven feet, or nine feet.

Depending on the distance between the person who comes to mourn and the deceased, the length of the mourning cloth varies.

"Don't be too sad. The old man passed away without any illness or disaster at over a hundred years old. It's a happy death." Daliang drove the car and looked at Yang Dongxu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looking into the distance with unfocused eyes.

I can’t understand the relationship between master and apprentice Yang Dongxu and Mr. Xuan, because he has never been a master and doesn’t understand much.

But I usually see Yang Dongxu seeing the smile on Mr. Xuan's face, and getting angry and arguing with Mr. Xuan from time to time. While arguing with Mr. Xuan, he still doesn't forget to pour tea for the old man for fear of knocking him. He sees this scene in front of his eyes. At this time, the old man passed away.

The blow to Yang Dongxu can be imagined.

"Yes, it's a joy or a funeral!" Yang Dongxu's eyes focused a little and he murmured, trying his best to relax his face to show that he was fine, but the stiff facial muscles just couldn't relax.

Seeing this scene, Da Liang sighed and said while looking ahead and driving, "Isn't this old man going to be cremated?"

"The old man wants to be cremated, but I think it's better to bury him in peace. Anyway, our management here is not very strict recently." Yang Dongxu said.

Originally, there was a crematorium in the town of Yangjiacun, but with the faster and faster economic development, especially the rapid rise of traditional Chinese medicine and B&Bs, the location of the previous crematorium was somewhat inappropriate.

Therefore, the town demolished the crematorium last month and built it in a more remote place. The original crematorium will be transformed into a cultural square and parking lot for urban residents and tourists starting tomorrow.

Because the new crematorium has not been built yet, the recent regulations on the cremation of deceased people are not so strict. Basically, the people turn a blind eye without suing the officials and turning a blind eye.

So even if Mr. Xuan is not cremated at this time, no one will say anything, because everyone in the entire township is like this because the crematorium has not been built yet.

Even when there was a crematorium before, some people secretly buried those who had paid the fine, so Yang Dongxu thought it was normal for Daliang not to be cremated for burial. Even if the rumors were not so loose now, he felt it was normal for the old man not to be cremated.

Others will also think it is normal. After all, the Yang family, not to mention eight villages in ten miles and towns, can be ranked high in the entire Jiaocheng City, even in the entire Anhui Province.

It's just that the Yang family is very low-key and lives alone in the countryside. People don't think the Yang family is superior.

When I came to the coffin shop in the town, I didn't have to ask for a high-quality nanmu coffin. I just followed the local custom and ordered a willow coffin.

Then I chose funeral supplies such as a shroud and paper figurines, and drove back with the shroud without delaying in the town to order the items.

The reason for this rush is that the body does not become stiff immediately after death. At this time, the shroud needs to be changed as soon as possible, otherwise the family member will not be able to put on the shroud due to stiffness.

This is also the reason why many old people prepare shrouds for themselves in advance when they feel that they are not in good health. Mr. Xuan is not very particular about dressing, so even if he feels that his time has come, he still dresses in simple old clothes.

Therefore, it is necessary to put on a new shroud before burial. In fact, Yang Dongxu knew that if the old man bought new clothes for him while he was still alive, the other party would definitely look disgusted and would not want to wear them.

But even though he said he disliked it, when Yang Dongxu left the old man, he must have been smiling happily at the new clothes alone.

It's like a child selling a lot of things to his parents. The parents complain about spending money in vain, but at the same time they can't help but feel happy.

The reason for happiness is not because the child spends money on himself, but because the child has himself in his heart and is still thinking about himself.

So even if you are not buying anything, but just some cheap vegetables and fruits grown at home, if you are willing to ride a bike to give some to your parents, they will be very happy and think that the fruits you give are better than those bought in the supermarket.

More fragrant and sweet.

Yang Dongxu personally put on the shroud he bought for the old man. When he came out of the room, Zhou Ya was already standing at the door wearing a mourning dress. She also held a mourning dress in her hand, which was prepared for Yang Dongxu. Next to Zhou Ya, Wen Chen was also wearing a mourning dress.

filial piety.

At this time, Wen Chen's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he kept looking sideways into the room, trying to see if the master who usually beat him with a bamboo stick could still get up and chase him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Go in and see your master." Yang Dongxu took the mourning clothes from Zhou Ya's hand and put them on, and said to Wen Chen next to him.

Generally, children would be frightened when facing dead people and would not dare to approach them, but Wen Chen had no fear. After hearing his father say that he could go in, he trotted in without any hesitation.

He had just barely taken two steps when he heard the voice telling him not to be as frizzy as a monkey. He paused in his trot and then straightened his back and walked in gracefully.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Ya asked worriedly as Yang Dongxu looked at the old man who had passed away not long ago. On the surface, he seemed to be just silent, but inside, he seemed to be missing an important part and seemed to be dead inside.

"Fortunately, I just couldn't accept it for a while. Although I also thought about this day, when this day came, I realized that the previous mental construction was so vulnerable in the face of the fact that the old man really left."

"The old man left with a smile, so don't be too sad," Zhou Ya comforted.

"Yes, the old man left with a smile. He is over a hundred years old and should not be too sad for this." Yang Dongxu said, but the grief in his heart could no longer be concealed, and he began to look at his face, which was trying to control his expression.

spread.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Dongxu patted Zhou Ya's hand, "You should also go in and take a look. Don't just try to persuade me. You should also be open-minded yourself."

Seriously speaking, Zhou Ya actually didn't get much paternal love from her father Zhou Yiren. When she was a child, she was not with her father. Although she later returned to Zhou Yiren, Zhou Yiren was too busy at that time. In addition to following her around

Apart from a better life for my mother, I don’t have time to give her too much love.

On the contrary, it was the old man who she could get along with day and night that made Zhou Ya feel cared for. Although the old man was usually very strict, the skills he taught were the fundamental reason why Zhou Ya was able to overcome her childhood misfortune and become more confident.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the old man gave Zhou Ya a second life.

"I'm fine. I won't cry when I'm happy or sad!" Zhou Ya also tried hard to control the expression on her face and said.

But he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. Seeing his wife so sad, Yang Dongxu reached out to stop her and let her lie on his shoulder. It would be better to cry if she felt sad.

Yang Dongxu actually wanted to cry, but when his heart was extremely sad, there seemed to be nothing to stop his tears. He wanted to cry but couldn't.
