    Seeing the backs of the two uncles leaving angrily, although I couldn't bear it in my heart, I also thought that my cousin's actions were extremely correct.  In order not to waste time, such decisiveness is still necessary.  It's just that, because of my family's affairs, my cousin severely offended my two uncles.  Therefore, while I couldn't bear it, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for my cousin.

    After there were no disputes, my sister threw the grain according to the instructions of the coffin bearers.  First grab and throw it with your hands.  Throw it from one end of the coffin to the other, and from the other end of the coffin to this end.  Finally, the elder sister came to the gate, turned her back to the coffin, raised the tray, and threw all the remaining grains on the wooden coffin.  Of course, this is all done with the back facing away. When you can't see it, you can only rely on your feeling, so you will inevitably lose your aim.  It is said that if the grains are scattered far and evenly, then there will be plenty of grains and livestock will flourish.  From this, it is inevitable that people will feel a little small peasant economy.

    In my impression, when my grandma passed away, my mother threw it out from the gate, which is really different from my sister's throwing in from the gate this time.  At this point, I finally understood why the two uncles were so emotional at that time.  In fact, they also have good intentions. They are afraid that the future development of my family will be affected by the mistakes of these rituals.  It's just that I still don't know whether the two throwings in completely opposite directions were caused by the mistakes of the people who carried the coffin, or there were indeed huge regional differences.  Fortunately, I don't really believe in the impact these rituals can have on future generations.  Therefore, neither a mistake nor a regional difference can affect my state of mind.  However, I know that whether it is the angry uncle or the righteous cousin, they are all thinking about my family.  Therefore, for the disgraced two uncles and the cousin who offended others because of this, all I can have is gratitude and guilt.

    After spreading the five grains, according to common sense, the next step is to "come out of the coffin".  The so-called "out of the coffin" is to carry the coffin out of the house after being buried.  However, the accident happened again.  Just as the coffin was being prepared to lift the huge and heavy wooden coffin onto the trolley, several of my father's cousins ??made their rare appearance together.  All along, they have been very low-key, almost never expressing any opinions on the handling of their father's funeral.  My father's generation was born in a period when family planning was not yet implemented, so my father had quite a few uncles, and my father's uncles had quite a few children.  Although not all came, but only the cousins ??who came to pay homage went out together, there were as many as six or seven.  With such a huge formation, it is impossible not to attract attention.

    Due to being disturbed by my two uncles before, my cousin has been standing aside very vigilantly so that the "burial" can go smoothly.  Seeing six or seven relatives surrounded by hula la all of a sudden, my cousin stepped forward to stop him, and politely asked my father about the purpose of the cousins.

    My father's cousins ??were not as excited as my uncle, and they politely explained their intentions for coming.

    I knelt at the front and naturally heard their conversation clearly.  The father's cousins ??had obviously discussed it together and reached a consensus.  They said that my third grandfather passed away from esophageal cancer, and now my father has passed away from esophageal cancer. This phenomenon probably hides the bad signs of "esophageal cancer" passing on.  They came forward at this critical moment because they did not want this "esophageal cancer" to be passed down from generation to generation in our family.

    The cousin deeply understood the concerns of his father's cousins, so he immediately asked them for advice on how to prevent the spread of this bad sign.

    All my father's cousins ??politely said that even if the cousin didn't ask, they would do their best. After all, they are also relatives of my family.  They asked my cousin to help find a saw blade, and then saw a small gap on the threshold of my house symbolically in front of everyone.  This gap means that the path of "esophageal cancer" is cut off.

    Afterwards, my cousin explained it to me specifically. My cousin said that he is a sensible person. Earlier, because my two uncles interfered with the normal progress of the "burial" ceremony, he resolutely stopped them; this time,  The advice of my father's cousins ??was so sound and so beneficial to us that he unreservedly supported it.  I know that the purpose of my cousin's explanation is that he is afraid that I will be angry because my uncle left in a huff.  After listening to my cousin's explanation, of course I expressed my 100% understanding and support for my cousin's behavior, and emphasized that the behavior of my two uncles at that time was indeed a bit excessive.  Perhaps the two uncles would be angry when they heard my comment, but it is undeniable that my cousin did make a great contribution to my father's funeral.  If I can only choose one of the two, then I can only support my cousin, although my two uncles also had good intentions at the time.

    Of course, what my father's cousins ??didBecause, in my opinion, it is just a useless move influenced by feudal superstition.  However, at that time, this approach did meet the psychological needs of most people to "make a good fortune".  Therefore, their endings were completely different from those of my two uncles, and after some pretentiousness, everyone was happy.

    After the little episode brought by the father's cousins, the eight people who carried the coffin officially started to move.  Although there is a small cart, the appearance is still to be done.  So what follows is a bawdy, overstretched yell.  The eight people who carried the coffin all put their hands on the bottom of the coffin, and then let out a neat shout under the guidance of one person "one two three".  "One two three", "Hey yo";  The better for the deceased and their families.  One of my elder brothers was born as a soldier, so under his yelling and guidance, the sound of the chant was particularly majestic and lasted for a long time.  Although the coffin bearers didn't really put in any effort, they were exhausted from just pretending to "play the number".

    There was no room for eight people to rest. After the sound of the "chants" stopped, the next thing they had to do was to lift the wooden coffin on the stool to the small cart first.  Then the stool was removed, and the coffin was adjusted to the best position facing the gate with the help of everyone.  With this small trolley, the eight people carrying the coffin seemed confident.  After all, next, it's the carts, not them, that really do the work.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
