    ?

    I can't remember how I walked through the fire and how I drank the tofu soup.  After all, at that time, my hands were full, and it was not very convenient to move.  Especially when drinking tofu soup, it is impossible to free up your hands to serve the bowl.  At that time, maybe all I thought about was the father in my arms.  Although I can't remember exactly, one thing is certain, that is, I must have stepped over the fire and drank tofu soup before entering the house.

    As soon as I entered the house, someone took over the portrait and the bag of ashes in my hand.  The feeling of sadness but fulfillment disappeared in an instant.  I just felt empty in my heart. This kind of feeling mixed with sadness immediately struck me so that I froze on the spot.  Confused, I don't know where I am anymore.

    The bag, which was as warm as body temperature, seemed to be exactly the same as his father's body.  The constant warmth from both hands made me feel like my father had come back to life.  My hands seemed to be touching my father's body exuding a normal breath.  It is precisely because I feel the breath of my father that I feel fulfilled.  But now, this fullness is gone, and gone forever.  I am somewhat grateful for the failure of the hearse, because it was this failure that gave me the opportunity to spend more time with my father.  I hate and even hate this feeling of emptiness.  I don't want to be separated from my father.  It hasn't been long, but I've begun to cherish the sad but fulfilling feeling of being on the hearse.

    Precisely because of the trance of that moment, I missed a lot.  Until now, I haven't been able to figure out whether my relatives and friends, including me, knelt down again after the father's portrait and ashes were taken by someone.  Logically speaking, he should kneel down again to show his deep memory of his father.  However, I really don't know, really don't know.  Because, at that moment, I seemed to have lost my mind and lost all perception of the outside world.

    In the fierce quarrel, I finally returned to normal.  It turned out that it was the coffin bearers, and they were arguing about the coffin.  Today is the big day for my father's funeral.  The burial is a major event, so it is very particular about the timing.  In order to be able to be buried within the time viewed by Yin and Yang, it is necessary to make certain preparations now.  "Into the coffin" here originally refers to putting the dead into the coffin.  But now, most people are cremated, so the ashes can only be put into the coffin.  What they argued at first was how to put it.  This coffin is also exquisite, that is, the orientation of the corpse.  The head is facing that way, the feet are facing that way, and if the coffin is large, you have to pay attention to whether it is leaning on the head side or the foot side.  Of course, the doorway here is not what I can explain clearly, and the details are different in different places.  Hence the quarrel.  When it was put into the coffin, many relatives and friends were watching, and some who thought they understood would occasionally add a sentence or two.  In addition, under the mother's entrustment, the second uncle also joined the ranks of helping to put the coffin into the coffin.  The second uncle is not from the same village as us, so in terms of specific details, there will inevitably be some conflicts with the helpers in the village.  However, generally speaking, it went smoothly, because the second uncle's temperament is quite gentle, and he will not be too stubborn in many cases.

    If it was completely incinerated like other houses, maybe the quarrel would be much smaller.  Because, in that case, it would be impossible to distinguish the head, feet, and orientation, and it would be enough to scatter the ashes symbolically in the coffin.  However, this is not the case with my father. The most important bones in the human body are almost complete.  The skull is better, you can tell it at a glance, and there is no need to quarrel.  But when it comes to the bones of the hands and legs, problems arise.  Is it the hand bone or the leg bone?  Not a professional, it's really hard to tell the difference.  So, quarrels ensue.  In addition, it is also particular about where the hand bones and leg bones are placed in the coffin.  Sometimes, because of the position of a certain hand bone and leg bone, the people who helped put the coffin into the coffin would quarrel with each other.

    Seeing this, you may think of the situation when my uncle was helping find someone in the funeral home.  Maybe, you will say, is the help of my aunt's brother meaningful?  If it wasn't for his help, everything turned into ashes, wouldn't there be so many quarrels now?  If you think that your uncle is doing you a disservice by being in the funeral home, then you are definitely very wrong.  It's true that everyone was quarreling, but before the quarrel, they all praised without exception: "Okay, there are so many bone-cutting bones, so there is no problem in putting them in the coffin!" During the quarrel, they still couldn't help but praise again  A few words.  Perhaps in the eyes of many onlookers, they are extremely envious of such a quarrel!  If everything turns gray, then even if you want to quarrel, you won't be able to quarrel.

    Perhaps, you will be confused.  Is this quarrel still a good thing?  Quarreling is certainly not a good thing, but the content of the quarrel is profound.  The reason why so much attention is paid to the position of the corpse in the coffin when it is put into the coffin, there are many deep-seated reasons.Because of it.  In feudal superstition, after death, people will go to another world.  Whether you can live a good life in another world has a lot to do with Feng Shui.  Therefore, from the point of view of Feng Shui, the position of the corpse in the coffin will be more particular.  If one is not good, it may affect Feng Shui.  If Feng Shui is broken, the first to be affected is the deceased.  After the deceased went to another world, I am afraid that he will not have a good life.  If it only affects the dead, I am afraid the living will not pay so much attention to it.  But from the perspective of Feng Shui, the quality of the deceased in another world will also affect future generations.  It is precisely because of this that there is a saying "whether the ancestral graves are good or not".  "The ancestral grave grows well", then the descendants of future generations will prosper; otherwise, the descendants of future generations will continue to decline.  The female department-level cadre in our unit I mentioned before, soon after she passed away, there were rumors related to the "ancestral grave".  Yin Yang said that it was precisely because she never worshiped her ancestors during festivals, so the ancestors over there had no money to take care of her when they learned that she was doomed.  Otherwise, maybe, she would be able to survive this catastrophe.  Later, it is said that Yin Yang tried it on one of her ancestral graves, and found that the bottom of the inverted pot was filled with dark black.  For this reason, her relatives also specially moved the ancestral grave.  It is precisely because of this point of view that the ancients attached great importance to "ancestral graves".  Whoever dares to touch the "ancestral grave" will definitely become an endless enemy.

    With the help of my uncle, my father kept the main bones. It is precisely because of the existence of these bones that the person who helped put the coffin into the coffin could more accurately judge the location.  If it's just a pile of ashes, how can you know if you made a mistake if you sprinkle it around randomly?  If mistakes are made, it is not only the dead who are at stake, but the happiness of their descendants.  Therefore, in the midst of fierce quarrels, everyone will be so excited and envious!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
