    After the mother gave a detailed introduction, the white-haired old woman said with a longing face: "I will also make a twelve-stage in the future."

    After hearing this, my mother kindly explained: "No. These twelve paragraphs are only for men (typical patriarchal feudal thinking), we women can't use such a large size."

    "That's a pity!" The old woman sighed with regret.

    "When my family XX (the nickname of my father's nickname) specified twelve paragraphs, I once said on the sidelines, 'In the future, I will just get one for my coffin, it doesn't have to be too good'. But XX (the nickname of my father)  ) but resolutely refused, emphasizing that I must get a 16-dan one, otherwise how could it match his 12-dan one? Otherwise, don¡¯t bury him together. (Now that I think about it, a father like him  The confession, on the one hand, shows his care and concern for his wife, and on the other hand, it shows that in the last few days, he has realized that his time is approaching.)¡±

    After hearing what her mother said, the old woman immediately regained her spirits.  "Sixteen paragraphs? Do you mean that the best coffin used by our women is sixteen paragraphs? Then what is the difference between sixteen paragraphs and twelve paragraphs?"

    "That's right, the best coffin we women can use is sixteen-segment. Sixteen-segment, sixteen-segment, it means that sixteen logs are needed to make a coffin"

    "Wait" The old woman interrupted her mother with some puzzlement, and asked suspiciously, "Using sixteen logs? According to what you said, shouldn't the sixteen-stage log be bigger than the twelve-stage log?"  ?¡±

    The mother showed a knowing smile, and then continued: "Yes, at the beginning, I thought the same as you. After being corrected by so-and-so (the nickname of my father's nickname) many times, I finally figured out ten  Which one is bigger, the six-stage or the twelve-stage, which one is better. Although the logs used in the twelve-stage are less, all of them are the largest and the largest wood, so the one made is the largest model in the coffin  The 16th section uses sixteen logs, but these logs are much smaller than the 12th section. Therefore, although more logs are used, the final coffin is smaller than that of the 12th section.  The twelve-segment one is much smaller. But the sixteen-segment one uses sixteen whole logs, which is much better than ordinary thin-skinned coffins made of only a few logs. Therefore, sixteen  Duan, it¡¯s actually quite good in the coffin.¡±

    After hearing this, the old woman nodded repeatedly, and then said with a firm expression: "I've decided, I'm going to have a sixteen-segment one in the future! I've worked so hard to grow them up, those bastards don't want to use ordinary thin skin  Fool me."

    The sixty-something man who had teased the old woman at the beginning said, "Your health is still so good, isn't it too early to start talking about this?"

    Seeing the uncontrollable laughter of the surrounding audience, the old lady said angrily, "You brat, what do you know? My old man is planning ahead." After a pause, she continued, a little lonely, "Oh, I also  More than ten years. How many years can I live? Didn¡¯t people say that the time there is much longer than here, so I can¡¯t be sloppy at all.¡±

    What the old woman said touched the sore spots of everyone present.  After all, no one can say for sure how long they can live.  My father is a living example. With his strong physique, who would have thought that he would be gone if he said nothing!  Those who can surround here are more or less people with some traditional ideas, so the scene suddenly became extremely depressing.

    "Not to mention, twelve paragraphs are twelve paragraphs, it's really big!" One person broke the silence and said with emotion.

    "That's right, it's quite big. It's the first time I've seen such a big coffin. With a twelve-section coffin, I guess you're the first (Murakami) family." Another person immediately responded and said with further emotion.

    "Such a large coffin is really rare, but as far as I know, your family is by no means the first. I remember that when the father of XX (the name of the Murakami family) passed away, he bought a twelve-stage coffin at that time. I still have  I clearly remember that the huge coffin was directly transported to the field by tractor at that time. It seems that there is also a 12-segment home for a certain family. I don¡¯t remember it very clearly. Anyway, your family is not simple.  , should be able to rank third or fourth in the whole village." One person seemed to have made a special count, and immediately refuted the other person's sentimental words, showing off.

    "When did you say all this happened? Besides, how many people present have seen it? I also said that I have seen a coffin that is much larger than the twelve paragraphs? Who would believe it? Anyway  , It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen such a big coffin! I thought the family of Grandpa (the name for father) was the first one! What are you doing?¡± The person who was refuted immediately retorted unconvincedCome.

    "You, you are a fool!"

    "Who messes around? This law also emphasizes that everything must be based on evidence. You say there is an earlier than this, so what about the evidence? You saw it alone, so it doesn't count! Do you want to say that you saw King Yama?  Don't you all have to believe it?"

    The implication of these words is that what you say is not worthy of being believed.  As soon as the man heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted: "You"

    The surrounding audience saw that the two blushing and thick-necked men were about to explode, so they quickly divided into two groups before the man got angry, and persuaded them one after another while separating the two.

    Although the two of them got upset over the topic of the coffin, the mother couldn't help but smile even more when she heard them arguing about whether their family's 12th paragraph was the number one in Murakami.  Because no matter what the outcome of the debate is, it is enough to show the rarity of twelve-segment coffins.  After all, there are thousands of households in the village, and there are only a few who can afford 12-dan.  In such an argument, my mother felt that she had greatly gained face.  So, in the process of persuading the two of them, the mother's waist couldn't help but straighten up even more.  Perhaps, in my mother's life, the most proud thing is to insist on buying a twelve-dan for my father.  This does not rule out the element of vanity in it, but it is not difficult to see the deep husband and wife relationship between the parents.  Even if she does her best, mother will definitely bring a perfect end to father's life.

    The farce between the two was over, and the crowd dispersed one after another. The mother walked home with some satisfaction, but when her eyes touched the cold ice coffin, the joy in her eyes was instantly overwhelmed.  replaced by sorrow.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
