    In addition to "May Seven", there is another "Seven" that people here value more, that is the last "Seven", also known as "Broken Seven".  The so-called "broken seven" means that seven or forty-nine days after the death of a loved one, there will be no more "do seven".

    It is precisely because this is the last "seven" for relatives, so this "doing seven" will generally be more grand.  If it is an older person, then the younger generations will usually treat it as a big event.  Invite a specialized group of mages to set up a dojo at home.  At that time, a group of relatives and friends will also come specially.  After a day of chanting sutras, the deceased relatives can live in peace in another world.  Only after the relatives in another world are safe can they better protect the descendants living in our world.  Anyway, during the "Broken Seven" period, most of them believed in feudal superstition.  What other people see (to flaunt one's filial piety)

    Naturally, I don't believe in feudal superstition, and I don't want to be seen by others, and I don't want to flaunt anything, so when relatives and friends ask questions, I always emphasize "not lively".  "Not lively" is a dialect here, which means not to take care of father's "broken seven" as a matter, so relatives and friends don't need to bring gift money like attending father's funeral.

    Maybe, after getting my reply, some relatives who couldn¡¯t figure it out (after all, in rural areas, like parents¡¯ generation, there are still many people who believe in feudal superstition) asked my mother about the situation.  My mother's feudal superstition is very serious, so after knowing what I mean, my mother became very anxious and immediately called me.

    "So-and-so (my nickname), this 'broken seven' is a big deal. For your father's happiness, and for your happiness, we can't do it too early!"

    After listening to my mother's words, I felt a little headache.  I know my mother's temper, and it is very difficult to change her deep-rooted ideas and concepts that are not allowed to enter.  On the premise of not changing my mother's feudal superstition, if I insist too much and do nothing when my father is "broken seven", then my mother will definitely be very sad.  Moreover, I know that the reason why my mother called me must be because she knew my answer to my relatives and friends.  In order not to make my mother emotional, I must be cautious when speaking.  "Mom, I know. I just told them 'it's not exciting', and I didn't do anything!" Due to the situation, I had to explain ambiguously.

    "Oh, it's not impossible to be 'not lively'." The mother whispered in a somewhat soothing tone.

    "That's right! They just gave out the gift money just now, and I always feel a little bit sorry for asking them to pay for it. Besides, this 'lively' has become a trouble for us! We don't necessarily have to ask for leave from the unit for this matter, right?" I hastened  echoed and said.

    My mother already has the good quality of being considerate of others, so after listening to my words, she replied in great agreement: "Well, according to what you said, it's better to be 'not lively'. But, don't you know  Know what's most important in 'Broken Seven'?"

    Hearing this, I asked with some doubts: "What is it?"

    "Do something!" My mother almost blurted out.

    In fact, I had heard about it, but because I didn¡¯t believe it, I didn¡¯t know the details very well, so I simply pretended not to understand anything and asked: "What is the ritual? What is the ritual?"

    "Just invite monks to recite scriptures!"

    "Okay, I get it now."

    My mother felt that my answer was not very positive, so she explained eagerly: "This monk's chanting is very important, don't believe it! Everyone has said that this chanting is of great benefit to the people over there!  For your father's sake, please don't commit 'stubborn' again!"

    In fact, mother's worries are unreasonable.  I remember that there was a festival that coincided with ancestor worship.  I don't know which string I played wrong that day, but I just refused to kowtow.  My reason is simple, "there are no ghosts and gods in this world".  Since there are no ghosts and gods, why should I kneel down and worship?  "Atheism" is naturally correct, so my insistence is not actually a mistake.  However, my mother has a stubborn feudal superstition!  Seeing that I refused to bow down no matter what, I was so anxious that tears streamed down my face.

    I, who was always gentle, became extremely stubborn that time. No matter how much my mother cried and begged me, I refused to compromise.  In the end, my mother had no choice but to kowtow for me while weeping helplessly, and repeatedly begged for forgiveness from my ancestors.  Anxious and angry, the mother cried for a long time, so that her eyes were red and swollen for several days.  After being anxious and angry, my mother had another strong breath.A deep sense of worry.  Because my parents are only my son, my mother once cried in front of me on purpose: "If you are like you, what will your father and I do in a hundred years?" My mother was worried about herself!

    After this trouble, I have been deeply familiar with my mother's temper, and I have never committed "stubbornness" again.  Because, I don't want my mother to be sad for this anymore.  Whether I believe it or not, it's nothing but a kowtow to me.

    I know that although it was only that one time, it was that time that the mental stimulation to my mother was extremely strong.  Therefore, although it has been a long time, my mother still remembers it fresh and still has lingering fears.  Thinking of this, I quickly comforted my mother and said: "How could it be! Mom, I don't know much about these aspects, you can figure it out yourself. Don't worry, we will cover all the expenses!"

    After listening to my words, my mother's mood improved obviously, and she said briskly: "I know, you have spent a lot of money for your father's funeral this time. 'Not lively' is to save money for others  At the same time, it is also saving money for myself. As a mother, I can¡¯t help but think about my son, can¡¯t I? I think so, if you hire a team, then the cost is indeed a bit too much. But if you don¡¯t recite scriptures, it¡¯s really  It's not good. So, I think it's better to invite a monk this time for "Duan Qi". There is a monk who recites scriptures and saves your father. I think it's fine.  That¡¯s what we did when we did it.¡±

    Although my mother used a discussing tone, I could tell that the reason why she said so much was to let me accept her suggestion.  Therefore, I replied straightforwardly: "Okay, then invite a monk! But, I don't know where to invite a monk here." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
