Zhang Hongmei went down to open the cabinet, took out the clothes of Zhang Aiguo and his wife and handed them to his daughter-in-law, "Second wife, are you one of these two?"
"Middle, I'll put them in the coffin right now. Where are the shoes? You can't let them go barefoot. Hongmei, go find all the shoes, socks, and underwear. Put their pillows and bedding in there too."
A few more daughters-in-law came over and sorted out the things Zhang Hongmei had found. Looking at the clean pillows and bedding, they all praised Zhang Hongmei in their hearts. This child is not bad. In fact, Zhang Hongmei never thought or knew that Zhang Aiguo and his wife's bedding should be used. It was purely due to cleanliness, so I washed it all clean, which was wrong. Several daughters-in-law went to the yard with their divided items and began to load the coffin.
Liu Maocai came in and said to the old man, "Uncle, five people have already gone to dig a hole. It is next to the grave of Patriotic parents. They died suddenly. Will the stone monument be erected now or three years later?"
"Three years later, they are heroes, and they don't need to be suppressed. Let Wang Hongxi open a brigade warehouse, and they will come out of the grain village for cooking tonight."
The team leader Wang Hongxi immediately called the two young men to carry food, and Liu Maocai ordered two people to set up a pot and arrange six women to cook dinner. Meat is no need, as long as there is food, it will be good.
"Uncle, I asked Jianguo to go to Zhangjiawa to buy paper money and white sails. I don't want paper figures, paper horses, etc. Now the inspection is strict, and these are not allowed."
"Medium. You look at the arrangement,"
The three of Wang Hongxi pushed a cart and pulled a bag of stick noodles, half a bag of sorghum noodles, half a bag of white flour, a bag of potatoes, a bag of cabbage, ten steamers, twenty aluminum pots, and two large pots with eight round mouths.
The pot table has been set up in the yard, just sit on the pot directly. At this time, I realized that there are more people and more strength. Those who carry water carry water, those who light the fire light the fire, and the women wash their hands and cook. In the evening, there are steamed buns with Sanhe noodles, stewed potatoes with cabbage.
The food delivered is enough for one meal tonight, and the Zhang family will not be in charge of the meal tomorrow. Everyone is having a hard time now, and every family is like this.
Zhang Hongmei was very moved. It's not that she can't afford food, but the elders in the village decided to take care of her. The food now is the life of the people. In my impression, other families prepare their own meals, and the village doesn't care about them.
At this time Li Cuihua also came back, and she came in with Wang Hongxi's daughter-in-law, holding a bundle of white cotton cloths. The two quickly made mourning clothes for Zhang Hongmei. To help Zhang Hongmei put it on, the filial piety hat on her head had to be sewn with cotton, which was also taken from the old lady.
After Zhang Hongmei was dressed, the coffin outside was also installed. Li Cuihua asked Zhang Hongmei to go out and kneel in front of the coffin. A filial son always knelt like this to thank those who came to express their condolences. Li Cuihua, who was outside in a world of ice and snow, prepared a mat for Zhang Hongmei, and knelt on it to save her legs from getting sick in the future.
The cooks outside are busy, but everyone is very silent, even talking in low voices, which is respect for the deceased.
Zhang Hongmei knelt outside and lowered her head, with a large earthen basin for burning paper money beside her. Now that the paper money has not been bought, just kneel down.
Liu Jianguo came in sweating profusely. Liu Maocai went up to take the bag, asked Liu Jianguo to put the white sail against the wall, and put the paper money beside Zhang Hongmei, took out a match and wiped it. Zhang Hongmei took out the paper money and lit them into the brazier. Her tears also fell down.
The five elderly people in the room were also discussing Zhang Hongmei's future life.
The old man, who has never said a word since he entered the house, looked at him and was not easy to get along with, and said, "If this girl from this family used to be unable to live in this house, all the land planted by her family would have to be returned to the village, but it is not practiced in the new society now." That's it. But she is a girl after all, and she will go out in the future, what will she do in the future?"
Liu Maocai's uncle, Liu Changhe, cast a glance, "Fifth, you are too lenient. After I told you, she, Zhang Hongmei, will be the head of the Zhang family. Whether she gets married or recruits a son-in-law is their business. Even at this age Eyelids are so shallow. Do you need your old Wang family to worry about her old Zhang family's affairs?"
The remaining three also looked at Wang Laowu, which means that your eating looks are too ugly.
Wang Laowu blushed, "My old Wang's family can't take care of your old Liu's family?"
The oldest old lady said, "Old Wu, if you are willing to help, you can stay here to support yourself, and if you don't, you can go back to your house."
Wang Laowu was so angry that he put on his shoes and left without saying a word. He thought that it would not be possible to pass his own house if it was cheaper, and he had to ask his daughter-in-law to come and watch.
After Wang Laowu left, everyone in the room was silent. In fact, everyone looked down on Wang Laowu, but after all, his identity and age were so high that it was inappropriate to go past him.Another skinny old man said, "Brother, this girl is small, how will she live? Is it still the same as before and everyone helps? There was a dog in the past, and he helped everyone when he came back, but now she is just a girl, and she doesn't want favors." Come on, can't shave one head be hot?"
"It's okay, everyone, if you are willing to help, you can reach out, and if you are not willing, don't worry about it. In short, this girl is growing up day by day, and she should be able to do the work in the field. Don't worry about it. Second child, as soon as this patriot is gone It¡¯s so impersonal.¡±
The thin and thin Wang Lao Er sat silently, he was not as brainless as Lao Wu. I'm just watching here, it would be even better if I can get some benefits, but if I don't, I can still have a meal.
Everyone was thinking about something, and the room was quiet. Yu Chenglong has been sitting on the bench on the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable listening to the words of a few people. This person was not so realistic just now. At first, I thought the villagers were united, but now it seems that there are not all people with bad qualities, but most of them are good, so Zhang Hongmei can survive.
The old lady was so angry when she was sitting on the kang, a bunch of worthless people, this embarrassment was thrown outside, and people who are not in tune will always be like that, dogs can't change eating shit.
Liu Changhe patted his mother and smiled comfortingly, his mother is still so hot-tempered at such an advanced age.
Liu Maocai came in, "Mistress, uncle, Cui Lin's family is not here, I heard that there is no one there, do you want to ask Hongmei?"
"Go ahead, make sure, we can't lose our courtesy."
Liu Maocai hurried out and squatted beside Zhang Hongmei, "Hongmei, do you know your grandma's house?"
"I don't know, I've never heard my parents not mention it."
"That's it, that's it." Liu Maocai entered the room and told the old lady. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
