rebirth of cataclysm

"Xiaochen, come on, come on, you have to come and help uncle." Hu Mingchen and Hu Yujiao chatted for a while, and uncle Jiang Yufu came to call him.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Hu Mingchen stood up.

"Well, the Agricultural Development Experimental Zone and Gongfu Company sent wreaths and elegiac couplets, and several of their leaders will arrive soon. I'm worried that I won't receive a good reception and say the wrong thing, so please come with me.

"Jiang Yufu said.

Hearing that this was the case, Hu Mingchen had nothing to say.

They sent wreaths and came in person. To put it bluntly, it was not for the sake of the Hu family.

If the deceased was not Hu Jianjun’s mother-in-law or Hu Mingchen’s grandmother, neither Gongfu Company nor the Agricultural Development Experimental Zone would be able to send a wreath, let alone come in person.

Since they came here to give him face, it would be okay if Hu Mingchen went to the roadside to pick him up to give him face.

Hu Mingchen and Jiang Yufu and Jiang Yuqiang had just stood on the roadside for a minute or two when Guo Zhaoyang's car arrived.

Guo Zhaoyang is now the God of Wealth, and the entire Duge Town relies on him to make a living. His appearance with people immediately aroused a lot of excitement and discussion.

"Damn it, Guo Zhaoyang came here in person. It seems that Jiang Yufu and his family will be more prosperous in the future."

"Look at what you said. My brother-in-law is from the Hu family in Huangni Village. With this kind of relationship, can we not reveal it?"

"I heard that this company just listens to the Hu family."

"What you are saying is nonsense. What do you mean by listening? It belongs directly to the Hu family. How can you not listen? Did you see that Guo Zhaoyang has a completely different attitude towards Jiang Yufu's nephew?"

In fact, this was indeed the case. When Guo Zhaoyang got off the car, Jiang Yufu and Jiang Yucheng took the initiative to shake hands and pass cigarettes.

While Hu Mingchen stood there motionless, Guo Zhaoyang and Jiang Yufu took the initiative to greet Hu Mingchen after exchanging a few words of "sympathy and resignation."

"Thank you for coming, please come up and have tea." Hu Mingchen said reservedly.

"How could I not come? If there is anything that needs to be done, just ask and the company will do its best to assist." Guo Zhaoyang said.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Guo." Jiang Yufu thanked him.

"It should, it should." In front of Hu Mingchen, Guo Zhaoyang did not dare to take it seriously.

Jiang Yufu then asked Jiang Yucheng to take Guo Zhaoyang up to drink tea, while he and Hu Mingchen continued to wait for Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang did not make Hu Mingchen wait any longer. It is estimated that before Guo Zhaoyang picked up the tea cup, Gao Yingxiang came with a group of leaders from the town.

There was another round of pleasantries, and Gao Yingxiang, who had not seen Hu Mingchen for a while, even held his hand enthusiastically.

"Let's go up, bow to the old man first, put some incense sticks on him, and then sit down and chat if we have anything to say." Gao Yingxiang took the initiative when he saw other people having a relationship with Jiang Yufulu.

Their purpose today is to pay homage, not to inspect the work. This must be made clear.

The group came to the front of the mourning hall, accompanied by Jiang Yufu, who handed incense to them.

Jiang Yufu and the others felt particularly proud when they saw so many leaders whom they could not usually see lined up in two lines to bow and offer incense to their mother. The relatives and friends they saw next to them were very envious.

After going through a ritual process, Jiang Yufu invited the group of them and Guo Zhaoyang to a relatively quiet side room to sit down and drink tea and chat. Two separate tables would be opened for them later.

The best escorts are naturally Hu Mingchen and Jiang Yufu.

"Hu Yandie, is your brother's prestige so high? I just heard from the introduction that these are the leaders of the county and the town, and that one is the president of the local industry leader. Why do you ask your brother to accompany you?" Chen Kang

Pointing to the side room, Hu Mingchen, who was sitting on the sofa in the middle, asked in confusion.

Chen Kang knew that Hu Mingchen was capable. Otherwise, he would not have worked in Pengcheng with such a high salary. Otherwise, there would not have been so many big bosses supporting him when he was in the TV station.

But in my hometown, this is different after all.

Just like some people are big bosses outside, but when they return to their hometown, they can only sit down and look the same in front of the village elders.

"My brother's prestige in this place is higher than all of them combined. What's all the fuss about?" Hu Yandie curled her lips and said.

"Is it so amazing?" Chen Kang was dumbfounded.

"What, am I still lying to you?" Hu Yandie asked.

"No, no, I didn't say you meant to lie to me, I just felt confused." Chen Kang quickly waved his hand.

When it was time to eat, it was Hu Mingchen who accompanied them, but Jiang Yufu, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucheng were also invited to sit together at the table.

After dinner, Guo Zhaoyang, Gao Yingxiang and the others left, while Hu Mingchen and the others had to participate in the evening spirit-circling ceremony.

According to the days Mr. Wang has seen, the suitable time for burial is four days later. During these four days, we should recite sutras every day and pray for salvation every day. Every day, all the juniors wearing mourning tributes will visit the deceased, and at the same time, all relatives and friends will be entertained.

The last day is the next festival.

According to local customs, the most important ceremony on this day is that the old man’s daughter will bring many people and many things to offer sacrifices.

In order to prepare these, Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun worked hard all day.

They had to prepare a pig, a sheep, various fruits and many things made of bamboo and paper. In addition, they also needed to give several uncles and aunts new clothes and shoes from head to toe.

On this day, Hu Mingchen also returned home and went to Jiangjiazhai with the large army of Xiazhai.

I heard that Hu Mingchen's family was going to hold a memorial ceremony, and many people came to help. On the one hand, they helped with the things, and on the other hand, it was because more people went to give face.

Those who come to follow the sacrifice do not need to give gifts, they only need to bring a bunch of firecrackers each.

Because too many people came, in order to entertain everyone, Hu Mingchen asked the restaurant on the street to prepare ten tables of banquets.

After lunch, everyone assigned tasks and headed to Jiangjiazhai carrying all kinds of commemorative supplies.

From far away from Jiangjiazhai, you can see the sacrifice procession from Hu Mingchen's house.

However, Hu Mingchen did not walk with everyone. Hu Jianjun asked him to wait on the roadside at the entrance of the village with a dozen boxes of drinks and a dozen cartons of cigarettes, so Hu Mingchen drove.

After the large army reaches the roadside at the entrance of the village, everyone needs to take a rest and regroup. There is a certain emphasis on which things go first and which things come last.

When everyone was resting, Hu Mingchen personally distributed drinks to quench everyone's thirst, and distributed a pack of cigarettes to everyone who came, both men and women.

As for whether you give or take it, that is someone else’s business.

But seeing as Hu Mingchen’s family was offering a pack of good cigarettes costing hundreds of dollars, even those who didn’t know how to smoke would accept it. If they didn’t want to smoke themselves, they could take it back and give it to their family members to smoke.

After resting for ten or twenty minutes, the suona team came out playing and playing. They walked in front, and at the same time they told the uncles that the team for the next sacrifice was leaving, and they had to line up at the roadside to greet them.

Hu Mingchen knew about this whole set of rituals, but had never participated in it personally. This was also his first time.

For many people in big cities, this approach may seem a bit foolish.

However, in local rural areas, it has been circulated for hundreds of years, and it naturally has its reasons. The family ties between people are often maintained by these so-called "ignorant" rituals.

This is also one of the reasons why rural areas are more humane than cities.

After changing clothes at the door of the house, the team went to present the tributes in order. Jiang Yucai, who lost his mother, needed to have a good cry.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Because this is also the last reunion in the world, the old man will be sent to the cemetery for burial early tomorrow morning.

Of course, filial grandsons and granddaughters like Hu Mingchen and others have to kneel down in front of the deceased and burn a lot of paper to say goodbye and express comfort.

However, on this day of the most solemn ceremony, several uninvited guests came.

Jiang Erhu had a girlfriend he had talked to before. Her family came to visit her, but she didn't come to pay homage or drink. Instead, she had a strong sense of causing trouble.

"Zhao Caifeng, what does this mean in your family? My grandma passed away and my family is doing something big. If you have any questions, we will talk about it in two days."

This family came without wreaths, gifts, or firecrackers. When they arrived at the reception desk, they actually presented a piece of white paper with a line of words on it, asking Jiang Erhu to pay off his debt.

The others didn't know what was going on, so they had to find Jiang Erhu.

"Jiang Erhu, if your family doesn't do big things, I won't come. I'm here today just to show your relatives and friends what kind of person you are." The girl named Zhao Caifeng said fearlessly.

.

"What kind of person I am is none of your business. Let's go, let's go. You are not welcome today, so leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Jiang Erhu was furious.

"Haha, why are you so rude? Hit me? Or kill me? You lied to my people and my money. With so many people watching, I just want to see how you are so rude to me." Zhao Caifeng sneered twice.

road.

In fact, there were already many uncomfortable people standing next to him. If Jiang Erhu really took action, they would swarm up and beat the troublemakers out.

When weddings are held in rural areas, it is most taboo for anyone to cause trouble. Even enemies cannot come to the door at this time. Otherwise, it will be an intrusion into the door. Such bullying will arouse public outrage.

But when Zhao Caifeng said that Jiang Erhu had deceived her people and defrauded her of her money, the anger of the relatives nearby weakened by a factor of three.

"What's going on? What's going on? What happened?" The movement here quickly attracted Jiang Yufu.

"Dad, I'll handle this matter myself." Jiang Erhu shrank his neck.

If his own affairs bring trouble to the family, he will bear the blame.

"Go away, I don't care what day it is." Jiang Yufu was very angry. After scolding Jiang Erhu, he looked at Zhao Caifeng and the others with a stern face.

Originally, Jiang Yufu felt that the funeral was very honorable from beginning to end, and everything went smoothly.

But now something happened, how could he not be angry.

"Girl, what happened? There is a big event for Bai Xi in my family today. Can you please be accommodating? If there is any situation, we will go to the side and talk about it, so as not to affect relatives and friends."
