It was almost New Year's Day, Zhou Guangren suddenly called and said: "Zhou Haishan's father passed away, is it in the past?"
The talented man said: "Okay, okay, I'll rush over there right away."
Of course he will go there, this is his promise to the Zhou family back then.
The talented man drove to Zhou Haishan's father's house together with a sickle. At this time, the courtyard of the Zhou family was full of people, and the talented man and the sickle entered the courtyard.
Li Xiujuan, Zhou Haishan's daughter-in-law, saw the two entering the courtyard and greeted them.
The couple Zhou Guangren and Zhou Guangjiang were also there, and they greeted the talented man and sickle warmly when they saw them.
Entering the hospital, Zhou Guangren introduced Zhou Haishan's eldest brother, an honest middle-aged farmer. He didn't say anything, and after the introduction, he just shook hands with the wit and sickle and smiled.
At this time, Zhou Guangren said: "Genius, Haishan's eldest brother is a coward and can't do much. He hasn't expressed any opinion on the old father's funeral until now. His old aunt is in charge. His family has done it." If not, don¡¯t you jump him?¡±
The gifted scholar nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood.
At this time, the old man's body was parked on the ground in the middle of the room, with a door panel underneath, and his body had not yet been coffined (that is, put in a coffin).
The talented man asked Zhou Guangren: "I remember when I was young, the juniors kowtowed to the old ones?"
Zhou Guangren said: "Kowtow is a matter for the direct juniors, and it is enough for people with other surnames to salute."
The talented man said: "No, we are here to show filial piety to the elderly on Haishan's behalf, and we have to kowtow too, so their family won't say anything?"
Zhou Guangren said: "This kowtow is a great gift to show respect for the deceased, how could there be any talk!"
In this way, under the guidance of Zhou Guangren, the talented man and the sickle went to the old man's body in the house. They knelt on the ground and each kowtowed three times. Zhou Haishan's elder brother also knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
After kowtowing, the talented man and the sickle came out of the house.
At this time, an old man came to the talented man and the sickle. Zhou Guangren introduced: "This is the respected and respected old man Zhou in the village, and he is also the current host."
Mr. Zhou gave a thumbs up and said: "You two are really qualified! I know you two came all the way from Shenyang, and I also know the relationship between you and Haishan. You two did the right thing, people! That's how it is!" "
The talented man said modestly: "Mr. Zhou, we haven't done enough."
While speaking, an old lady on crutches came tremblingly towards this side, and Zhou Guangren rushed to meet her. Zhou Guangren said: "Old sister, if you have limited mobility, you should sit inside the room? Why did you come out?"
The old lady said: "Can I sit still? I have to see the two boys from Shenyang. I heard that two people with foreign surnames kowtowed to my brother. This is amazing!"
Zhou Guangren helped the old lady to the talented man and the sickle. Zhou Guangren introduced: "This is Haishan's old lady, and she is a person who has the final say in Zhou's family."
The talented man and the sickle rushed to greet him, and the talented man said, "Hello, old lady, we are from Shenyang."
The old lady looked at them carefully, and then said: "According to the rules of our Zhou family, only the sons, daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, nieces and eight daughters, grandchildren, grandsons, and granddaughters of the Zhou family kowtow to old people. Others just salute. My eldest nephew will not say anything. I thank you both on behalf of the Zhou family! I came all the way from Shenyang to salute. I am really sorry! My brother will be blessed in heaven Yours!"
Listening to the words of the old aunt of the Zhou family, both the wit and the sickle felt warm in their hearts, and the wit said excitedly: "Grandma, it's nothing, we"
He was about to say that he was doing his filial piety for Zhou Haishan, but he was afraid that mentioning the old lady Zhou Haishan would make him even more sad, so he paused. He changed the subject and said: "This is what we should do, are we juniors!"
? Although the words were not smooth, they also expressed the meaning clearly.
The old lady said: "You two come in, it's cold outside."
The wit said: "Grandma, it's not cold, you should always go into the house."
The old lady said: "This matter is not well arranged, you two can't pick it?"
The talented man said: "Grandma, it's all right. You can always go into the house. It's fine to have Guangren to accompany you."
Zhou Guangren sent the old lady back to the house.
Hearing what the old lady said, the talented man understood that the funeral organization of Zhou's family was a bit chaotic this week.
Zhou Guangren came out of the house, and the talented man said: "Ask Mr. Zhou, the host, what else do we need? What can we do?"
? Zhou Guangren quickly called Mr. Zhou who was the host, and the talented man asked: "Do you need the two of us to do this?"What, we two are filial piety for Haishan, can't we just stay here in a daze? "
The host, Mr. Zhou, said: "To tell you the truth, no one in the Zhou family can do it except my aunt and grandma. I alone can do it. I am old, my memory is not good, and I am forgetful. Whoever has just arranged When you turn around and do something, you forget about it.¡±
The talented man said: "We can't do it if something happens. We don't know anything about this funeral, so what can we do?"
Mr. Zhou said: "Don't you have a car? Just leave the car. You need a car to run many things."
The talented man said, "This is fine."
Then he said to Zhou Guangren: "You don't have a phone in this village. Just make a call and get the two cars from the store to come and ask them to fill up the gas and make arrangements later. In addition to my car, I will follow the old man's arrangement. "
Zhou Guangren said: "There is a phone call from the village department, I will call right away." After speaking, he left.
Not long after, Zhou Guangren came back quickly and said: "The car has been arranged, and it will arrive in forty minutes."
In less than 40 minutes, the two trucks arrived, and the two drivers greeted the talented man. The talented man said, "Your two cars have been here for the past two days. You two are in charge of delivering the cars to places where there are cars."
The two drivers nodded.
The wit called the old host again and said, "If there is a car, just tell them. Besides, how many things have been arranged for this funeral, I want to know?"
The old host said: "According to our local rules, after the death of an old man, relatives wear mourning, buy shrouds, burn paper for incense, buy coffins, buy paper work, that is, wreaths, paper kraft paper horses and paper carts. Encoffining, setting up a mourning hall, expressing condolences, weeping for relatives, seeing off, going out for funerals, burials, funerals, etc. In the later period, there will be May 7th and anniversary burnings.¡±
After hearing this, the talented man said: "These procedures are quite complicated, and I didn't understand them, is this right? How much do these procedures cost in total, and I will take the money."
Mr. Zhou thought for a while and said, "Of course it's good. The old Zhou family is worrying about this! I can't say for sure. I guess it will cost more than 10,000 yuan, right?"
The talented man said to Zhou Guangren beside him, "Where's your wife? Call her here."
Zhou Guangren went, and Wang Yuee came after a while.
The talented man returned to the car, opened his backpack, took out 20,000 yuan, and said to Wang Yuee: "Sister-in-law, I will give you the 20,000 yuan, and the expenses for the old man's funeral will be paid from here, which is not enough for me."
Wang Yuee said: "When will I still be talented! I really help people when they are in trouble! Well, I am in charge." While speaking, she put 20,000 yuan in her backpack.
At this time, Mr. Zhou said: "Since the talent is so bright, Manager Wang will make a wreath according to the number of grown-up sons, grandsons, and granddaughters of the old Zhou family, find the best paperwork, make horses and carts, and invite drummers Hand, let the funeral of the Zhou family be more dignified! You can arrange someone to handle this matter. In addition, you can reward the carpenter who lays the coffin with some money, so that they can do it quickly, so as not to delay the time for encoffining."
Wang Yuee said: "Okay, I will take care of this matter."
The talented man said to Wang Yue'e: "This week's family funeral, you should pay more attention. If the old host has something unexpected, you can help think about it. We don't know anything about funerals. In addition, Sickle and I will each send a pair of wreaths. Oh, and my uncle Sanwai also sent a pair. My uncle has always been upset about what happened to Zhou Haishan. He must have hired people to work with me back then. Make it up! You have arranged it." Wang Yuee nodded and left.
At this time, the talented man remembered that his uncle Sanwai hadn't come yet, so he called Zhou Guangren over and asked, "Why didn't I see my uncle coming? Did you see him?"
Zhou Guangren said: "I didn't see it, but he will come at night. Although he is not Jinzhi, he has the same surname. It is probably because there is no time to sell meat during the day. Talent, you can rest assured that he will come."
The wit nodded after listening.
At this time, Wang Yue'e got the authorization of the talented man and Mr. Zhou, and started to work. She began to direct these people who came to Zhou's house to help, and began to do this and that.
In this way, the funeral began to proceed in an orderly manner.
In fact, the current Wang Yue'e is an unusual figure in the eyes of the villagers. No matter what her seniority is, she is called the official title, and she is called Manager Wang.
At first, maybe everyone called this with a certain amount of jealousy and irony.
After a long time, I saw that Manager Wang was really doing well. In addition to this Wang Yue'e's pungentness, this title of jealousy and sarcasm has been converted into respect and envy.
With the increase of income over time, Zhou Guangren's family gradually became rich. Wang Yue'e's status in the village has risen significantly, she is really good at "humming" in the village, and even the elders are running to do it.
