    ?

    Before my father was buried, the huge wooden coffin was almost always placed on the drying yard in front of my house.  The canopy, elegiac couplets and a large number of flower baskets and wreaths in front of my house are already quite eye-catching, so the eyes of everyone passing by on the road in front of my house are almost always attracted by the giant figure of the wooden coffin  .  For the mother, the feeling of being noticed and hotly discussed (wooden coffin) is quite enjoyable.

    However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Although the huge size of the wooden coffin won her mother's face, it soon brought her troubles.  It was precisely because the size of the wooden coffin was too big, so under the reminder of the kind-hearted people, the mother was worried about the related problems of its entry and exit from the early morning of the next day.

    An enthusiastic person deliberately measured the width of the wooden coffin and the gate of my house, and he concluded that such a large wooden coffin could barely pass through the gate of our house.  So, here comes the problem.  According to the customs here, after the deceased enters the museum, someone needs to carry the coffin out of the house.  The wooden coffin in our family is already huge, and the wood has a lot of moisture just after it was built, which determines that the wooden coffin will look heavier.  Even if it is in an open space, even if it is an empty coffin, it is extremely difficult to lift such a large wooden coffin, let alone pass through it (with a wooden coffin, it is impossible to stand on both sides.  human) narrow gate?  The enthusiastic person finally shook his head and sighed: "It is completely impossible to carry the wooden coffin through such a narrow gate!"

    After mother found out, she became worried.  How could a mother, who hoped to give her father a perfect ending, allow such an accident at his father's funeral?  Mother didn't give up, so she asked the people who were invited by her cousin to carry the coffin for advice.  In fact, when people agreed to carry the coffin, they didn't know that we would use such a huge wooden coffin, so after seeing the terrifying size of the wooden coffin placed at the door of my house, they all felt chills in their hearts.  It's just that, because of their sympathy, they are too embarrassed to go back on their word.  However, when my mother asked, people would naturally think for themselves, so I emphasized realistically: under the condition of lifting a pole, with the strength of eight people, it may be possible to lift it, but if you want to go through such a narrow gate  , then it is bound to be impossible to lift it with a pole, and it is impossible to even think about moving such a big guy with only two hands.

    Mother is in a hurry, really in a hurry!  My mother asked around and asked for advice, hoping to find a suitable solution.  Enthusiastic and experienced people are not lacking, so someone advised my mother: "Since the door is narrow and you can't pass through, then just change the door!"  Mother felt a sense of relief.  Yes, since the door is narrow, wouldn't the problem be solved by changing the door to a wider one?  Usually, my mother is the most frugal, and she will never spend a penny more.  But, for the sake of my father, my mother did not hesitate to pay the price this time.

    ?As soon as I thought about it, I acted, and my mother hurriedly looked around to see if there was anyone in the neighbors who was familiar with the aluminum alloy door business.  Not to mention, a younger daughter-in-law in our family really knew someone who was in the aluminum alloy business.  My mother asked about it, and she said that it is actually easy, just remove the original door, knock the bricks on both sides outward, and when it is in the right position, just press the aluminum alloy door up.  According to her, it would take at most half a day to change the door.  After hearing this, my mother felt that changing the door was feasible.  However, the daughter-in-law of the younger generation emphasized that the price of changing the door is not small, even if it is an ordinary one, it will cost two or three thousand.

    My mother seemed to be hesitating a bit, of course not whether to change the door, but worried about whether I could afford the price.  Finally, my mother mentioned it to me.  I know mother is for father, can I object?  Of course not, I agreed without the slightest hesitation.  I even told my mother that I can consider spending more money, after all, it is a door, and I must not just seek a temporary advantage.  Although I said so, my mother, who has always been thrifty, didn't do what I said.  During this period of time, I have spent a lot of money for my father, so in my mother's opinion, it is best to save me some money.

    My mother has been thinking about such a question, how can I spend as little money as possible and still buy the best quality aluminum alloy doors?  In the end, it was the younger daughter-in-law who helped to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.  She said that when a certain place was demolished, there were many dismantled aluminum alloy doors, many of which were still new and of good quality, and because they were dismantled during the demolition, the price was relatively cheap.  If we wanted it, she said, she could get one from her relative in the aluminum business.  As soon as my mother heard it, she thought it was a very good method, so she immediately asked the younger daughter-in-law to make a call.  Her relative in the aluminum alloy business readily agreed to keep an eye on it for us, and try to get a cheap and good aluminum alloy gate for our family in the near future.

    After things settled down, mother?Anxiety is gone.  Mother is a person who can't hide her words. After she told her everywhere, the fact that we changed the door for the coffin quickly made almost everyone in Murakami know.  The captain of our team (a village divided into several production teams) is definitely a very enthusiastic person.  He doesn't have the same surname as mine, but I don't know how it's related. According to seniority, he doesn't seem to be taller than me.  Soon, the captain came to look for me in a hurry.

    "Brother (many people in our village are not as senior as me, but because they are much older than me, out of respect, I generally call them 'brother' or 'sister'), what can I do for you?" I asked  Seeing that he did not leave after the worship, he asked with some doubts.

    "So-and-so (my nickname), I heard that in order to carry the coffin, you are going to change the gate. Is this true?"

    "Yes. My mother asked, and the coffin bearers said that it was impossible for them to carry the coffin out with such a narrow door. We had no choice but to replace it with a larger aluminum alloy door. I thought so,  Remove the gate, expand the two sides, and press the new aluminum alloy gate after the coffin is lifted out." I knew he had good intentions, so I explained it patiently and slowly.

    "Maybe I'm meddlesome!" The captain first said with self-deprecation.

    Hearing this, I hurriedly said respectfully: "What's the matter? Brother, your social experience is beyond my comparability. It's too late for me to be grateful for your guidance!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel  .com
