The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Families in rural areas who usually have conflicts may not pay attention to weddings, but when it comes to funerals, the helpers will come over on their own without having to say hello.

Notifications between relatives are not made directly by phone like in the city, but by visits from each family to kowtow. Ran Hao is doing this.

Yang Dongxu is the grandson, and Ran Hao is the nephew. According to the older generation, a nephew is not considered a destitute family, so although Yang Dongxu does not have a biological uncle. But because my grandfather had a nephew named Ran Hao, it was Ran Hao who came to throw basins and flags when leaving the coffin.

The same notification to relatives and friends was made by the elders in the village who were familiar with Shiliba Village. They drove Ran Hao and relatives one by one to the door to kowtow to inform.

The same is true here in the village. Regardless of whether they come to help or not, after making arrangements at home, Ran Hao will also kowtow to those from the same sect who come to their door.

The funeral is tomorrow, but a lot of tables were opened the night before so that people from the same village who came to help could eat and drink well. These people include those who dig graves, some who carry coffins tomorrow, some who tear off mourning cloths, some who receive guests who come to pay homage tomorrow, and so on.

Especially those who tear off the mourning cloth. Although the Ran family has said that the funeral will be simple and the coffin will remain in the coffin for three or five days to carry out the funeral. Therefore, people who come to pay homage will basically come all day tomorrow.

You don’t need to think about it to know that there are a lot of guests who come to pay homage, so the workload of this filial piety must be very heavy. Generally, the guests who come to pay homage are usually not related. The adults have to give three feet of filial piety. If the children represent a family, Those who come here should be given one, and those who come with adults only should be given a filial piety hat.

Therefore, the amount of cutting is not generally large. In this village, which is not originally very big, basically all the younger women in the village come to help.

It's not just the women's side, because there will definitely be a lot of guests coming tomorrow, so we directly invited 10 companies to host a banquet. In the evening, we asked people from the village to help set up more than a dozen tables, although they were made by the same family.

But the other nine families are also busy preparing truckloads of food, and there are definitely not enough dishes. They are contacting some businesses to rent them. Because tomorrow is a running banquet, one table will be removed and the next table will be served. There will definitely be no time to clean the dishes that have been removed, so the number of dishes used must be large.

Not only was the supply of dishes originally insufficient, but now they had to be rented and replaced. Even the serving helpers brought by the cooks are not enough, so the young men with good legs in the village need to help serve the dishes tomorrow. These people alone made eight or nine tables for the dinner the night before.

The reason why the number of people is so large is mainly because the funeral ceremony does not want to take too long to show off. Otherwise, although there will be many guests, you can contact the village elders in advance and go to other villages to tell the village chiefs that your village needs If you go to pay homage, what time should you go tomorrow, or what time should you go the day after tomorrow, and just stagger the people.

But because we decided to hold a flowing banquet to entertain guests tomorrow morning, we had to go to the ground in the afternoon. People are crowded together, so the need for help naturally increases exponentially.

Even in the evening, with the help of the villagers, the gate and wall of the courtyard wall of my grandpa's house were demolished, and the space in front of the mourning hall was as flat and large as possible, so that those who came to pay homage could come in one group to pay homage. As many people as possible so that there are not too many people to squeeze in.

But even so, my little grandpa still asked someone to go to each village and notify them, and set a time for each village, otherwise they would all come together. Even though both sides of the road in the village were cleaned overnight to make it more spacious, there were too many people and cars could not miss it. .

"Basically, we have already informed you that tomorrow's condolences guests will first come in from the east side of the village and park their cars in the west side of the village. After these people come here to express their condolences, they will go to the Cultural Square to eat. They will park in the field prepared on the west side. Instead of getting out of the car, the guests who came from behind would park their cars in the field prepared on the east side.

After the people on the west side finish eating and drive away, a group of people coming from behind will drive to the open space on the west side and come alternately from both sides. People who parked their cars in the field to the west leave and go north, people whose cars parked in the open space to the east leave and go south. Anyway, the cement roads in our village are now built in all directions. Even if the direction of going home is wrong, you can still go back by taking a detour. It's troublesome.

As for the temporarily requisitioned fields, please be more considerate here, and my family will be given double compensation for the crops grown here afterwards. "

Fortunately, the fields near the village and the roadside are planted with crops, not medicinal materials. Because everyone thinks that cars running close to the roadside have an impact on the quality of medicinal materials.

Therefore, crops are grown near the main road in the village, and Chinese medicine is grown in some fields across the road where there are no roads and cars cannot pass. Otherwise, the village, which usually has spacious parking spaces, might not be able to park any cars tomorrow.

It's not just a parking place. Although the village where my grandpa lives is not big, because of the talented people of the Ran family, the village committee of the small village has done a great job. At the same time, it also manages six or seven nearby villages worth thousands of people. mouth people.

Therefore, the village committee and the cultural square were built and are usually very busy. There is a small square in front of the village committee for meetings. The cultural square usually organizes people from nearby villages to come and play games and watch movies. The venue is not small.

It is precisely because of such a big place that we can invite 10 banquet makers to come over and cook together at once. Otherwise, there would be no room for so many tables.

"I said, Jingtian, you are out of touch when you say this. Isn't it a slap in the face if you are from the same village and you have to pay compensation? Normally, several companies build bridges and pave roads for the village, but you don't even want the money from the village. At this time, you just Stop talking like that, how much are a few acres of crops worth? Are you looking down on your brother's family or what?" The uncle of a family whose cornfields to the east were temporarily requisitioned was a little unhappy.

"That's right, that's right. It's a slap in the face for you to say that." Several other people from the place also agreed.

"Every yard is a yard. If there are no crops, I won't say anything. But now that the crops have grown, we will definitely have to pay compensation." The little grandpa said.

It's already mid-July, and the corn and soybeans planted in the summer have grown short, so it's unjustifiable not to pay compensation.

Seeing that some of the people who were out of town still wanted to talk, the little grandpa waved his hand, "Okay, let's settle this matter for now. If we have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow after we finish our work. We have passed this one first and let's talk about the next one. Son, there are so many people coming tomorrow, and we don’t have much time to do everything one by one, so let’s quickly take out the charter and straighten it out.”

"Okay, time is indeed pressing, let's talk about the next thing first. But the compensation matter is only tentative, it's not finalized. You can't just compensate when you say compensation. I've already done it, and you still make me feel unhappy. , what you are doing is unethical."

"Okay, okay, let's make a tentative decision first, let's talk about the next thing." The little grandpa said quickly.

Then everyone started to discuss the next things, most of which were about etiquette, and other management aspects were basically done by my grandpa, and the others nodded and agreed to add details and so on.

After all, he is the boss of hundreds of furniture factories and has very rich management experience.
