Chapter 39: Burial

"Xiaoning, Xiaolan, you two, come here." Ye Qingmei took advantage of the gap to let them pass. "Do you remember what I told you last night?"
Thinking of what the aunt asked them to go for training last night, Ye Ning and Ye Lan looked at each other, and they saw nothing to do from the bottom of each other's eyes.
In the countryside, after the death of her parents, her daughter would cry. The more sad she cried, the louder she expressed her filial piety.
It’s best to add words when crying, such as: ‘My dad, why are you so pitiful, you left at such a young age, what should I do in the future? ’‘Dad, why did you leave? I’m not filial yet! ’’Dad, you have suffered so much in this generation, and you must be reborn in a good family in the next life. "Such, and must be affectionate, crying rhythmically, the aunt is afraid they will not, but also specially teach them how to cry.
Ye Qingshan is dead. Ye Ning and Ye Lan are of course sad. It's normal to cry at funerals, but can you cry like this? Really embarrass them.
"I know that you are young and don't cry in mourning, but you must cry, otherwise the villagers will say that you are not filial, and they will say that your father doesn't even cry in mourning."
It seems that you can't cry without crying, Ye Ning and Ye Lan nodded, but they really couldn't make them cry in the aunt's way.
"How about let's change those words?" Ye Ning thought for a few words, and Ye Lan added.
When the hour came, the uncle shouted to lift the coffin, and the eight strong men lifted the coffin. They could not let the coffin fall on the way, and they should rest on the stool.
"Dad, why are you willing to leave us?" Ye Ning couldn't help thinking of her own parents, tears came down instantly, crying sincerely, "You haven't seen me marry Xiaolan, or Xiaoan marrying a wife and having children. , Why did you leave? What do we do if you leave? Dad, we can't live without you!"
Ye Lan followed behind Ye Ning, although she knew what her sister was going to say before, tears burst into her eyes when she heard it now, "Dad, why are you willing to leave us? I have to go to college and be filial to you in the future. You haven't looked at me yet. How can you be willing to marry a son?"
Even though Eucalyptus Yeah did not cry, she cried loudly, calling out Dad from time to time, and she was very sad.
The people in the same village stood on both sides of the road, lamenting Ye Qingshan's injustice in his death. Seeing his three children like this, they felt sad.
"What can these three children do in the future? Mom is gone, dad is dead, grandpa is not kissing, eh, fate is really hard!" some grandma in the same village whispered.
At this moment, Old Man Ye came over with a cane, and the old man burst into tears, "Qingshan, my son! Why did you die before me? You are killing me!"
Ye Ning and Ye Lan ignored him, as long as he wasn't making trouble, they didn't care.
Old man Ye supported the coffin and said sadly: "You didn't take care of you when you were alive. If you die, I will send you up the mountain for everything."
Seeing a gray-haired old man holding his son's coffin, most people forgot his eccentricity and began to feel pitiful for him, but Ye Ning didn’t think so. They knew how much Ye Ning’s heart was. Putting Ye Qingsheng's son to heart, Ye Ning told him that the news of his death should have come that night. Not only did he not come that day, but this time Ye Ning's three came back for so long, and he never came forward.
Not only she didn't believe it, but Ye Qingmei didn't believe it either, and asked her eldest cousin and second cousin to stop him directly.
"You have never regarded Qing Shan as your own son, and now you don't use it for acting. It is not rare for my brother to send it off."
"What can I do? My son is dead. Qingshan is my eldest son. I am sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man. What else can I do?" Old man Ye said sadly.
"I don't know what you are making. These three children are the descendants of Juer. You have to dare to bully them. Don't blame me. You are not welcome." Seeing that Ye Qingmei hadn't followed, he realized that Old Man Ye was here and waved for the funeral. The team continued, he himself came to Ye Qingmei, "If you want to go to the funeral, just send it off, don't talk nonsense, go back if you don't want to send it, Qingshan is not rare for you to come."
Thinking of the older brother-in-law kicking off his leg before, Old Man Ye couldn't help but tremble. He didn't want to come when the older brother-in-law was there. Chunxiang could not come here because he would be poked in the backbone. He really didn't mean anything else.
After being warned, he became honest immediately, followed slowly behind with a cane, wiped his eyes from time to time, and looked a little pitiful.
When the coffin was laid down, the three Ye Ning brothers and sisters wanted to stop them, and then they would be held by others, crying and not allowing them to be buried while struggling.
Things that were really sad at first, because of these customs, Ye Ning and others felt that they were not so sad, but more numb, anyway, it was a feeling of indescribable.
Eucalyptus should put the first holding soil first, then leaf lemon and leaf orchid, and then others help to cover the soil.
At this time, many people went back, leaving only the dearest and close ones.
"Qingshan, I'm busy at home, so I'll go home first, and when I'm done, I'll come to see you." The tomb was finished and the stone tablet was erected. Ye Qingmei touched the stone tablet.
"Dad." Ye Ning took out the admission notice from her arms, "I lived up to your expectations. I was admitted to university."
With that, Ye Ning put the admission notice on the candle and slowly lit it.
"Xiao Ning." The aunt was taken aback when she saw the admission notice, and then she cried out at a loss, "Don't burn it, I believe your dad also wants you to continue to college."
"I told my dad about my current job, and I believe he will support me." There are indeed many cadres after graduating from college. Most of them start from the grassroots level. Teachers must be teachers when they come out of normal school. Not as good as state-owned factories.
The admission letter burned out, and there was no chance to go to school. The uncle and aunt felt a little pity, if Qingshan was alive, she would definitely let her continue to school.
"Go back, the guests at home are still waiting for us." Ye Qingmei packed her things and walked back, and the three children looked back three times.
Although it was just a cloak, the mood was completely different from before. There was a feeling that my father had really passed away.
When I got home, the courtyard was very lively outside and inside. I borrowed a total of twelve tables for the Eight Immortals. One table can seat up to eight people. This is a bit crowded, usually six adults, two children, uncle and uncle. There were three tables for the helpers, the one carrying the coffin, and other relatives, some friends Ye Qingshan knew, a total of 9 tables, the remaining three tables were not set up.
Four cold dishes have been placed on each table, but no one has started to eat it. Regardless of the kind of red and fun things in their village, the opening of the table is also a matter of time.
As soon as the time came, the third uncle set off a firecracker, and everyone knew that the table was going to start. After another ten minutes or so, another firecracker sounded, which meant the official opening of the table.
The funeral parties were all here, and they all took up chopsticks to eat.
After eating some cold dishes, after a while, 4 hot dishes came up one after another. Everyone saw that there were not only pig blood tofu, but also large pieces of meat and pig water. Just after the chopsticks were put down here, the roast chicken and duck came up, most of them People suddenly felt that Ye Ning was bright and bright.
Some people think it’s good, while others think it’s bad. A few grandmothers just whispered that Ye Ning didn't know how to save and wasted money.
Saying this, he didn't start at all slowly, and instantly divided four chicken legs and duck legs.
"Don't think so much, these people in the village are like this. No matter what you do, she has something to say. If there were no chickens and ducks today, they would say the same, it might be even more ugly." Aunt and Ye Ning heard them when they were serving the dishes. , The aunt comforted her when she saw that her face was not good.
"It's okay, I have nothing to worry about with them. I just have a clear conscience." Although she occupied the body of Ye Qingshan's daughter, but because of her arrival, she avoided future tragedies. Ye Qingshan has to thank she was.
After lunch, Ye Ning and Ye Lan lay down casually and began to help clean up the mess. The food on the table was basically eaten.
Fortunately, he prepared enough dishes, otherwise the two tables of wine in the evening would not be available.
At noon, I invited guests to dinner, and in the evening, I invited relatives to have a second meal. Ye Ning planned to invite the uncle’s family and the third uncle’s family.
"Don't ask your grandfather?" Third Uncle and Old Man Ye didn't deal with them, they were brothers, and couldn't help but say something for him.
No matter what the old man Ye had done before, he was Ye Qingshan's father and couldn't run away, so he should be told to eat because of reason.
"Then you can only invite him." Ye Qingmei didn't want to see Wang Chunxiang, let alone see the two sons born to Wang Chunxiang, each one was more than one, and the daughter-in-law was not a good bird.
The sisters were unwilling to call, and finally handed the arduous task to Eucalyptus.
Originally thought that Old Man Ye would not come over, but unexpectedly came, but fortunately he didn't bring anyone over, otherwise Ye Ning could really drive him out.
It's that he didn't bring anyone, it was Wang Chunxiang and they didn't dare to come, if it wasn't for the uncle's family, they had come early.
The evening is my own family. The banquet is not as formal as noon, but the dishes are not bad. The large pieces of pork, the fried golden tofu on both sides, and the stewed chicken and duck taste better than noon.
"Come, come, eat." Ye Qingmei greeted everyone to take the table. Uncle and Sanshugong sat separately. Old man Ye followed Sanshugong. He glanced at Ye Ning and several people from time to time, and then lowered his head and said nothing.
"Xiao Ning, you will be the head of this family from now on. Take good care of your siblings, especially Xiao An is still so young. If you are a sister, take care of it." Uncle Gong said earnestly.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger siblings." Ye Ning agreed to answer him solemnly.
The uncle nodded, glanced at the old man Ye, and said to him: "I heard you are planning to hit this house?"
"You can't wrong people, I own a house, I am worried about what this house is for." Old man Ye hurriedly denied.
"It's not the best. I was there when you separated. I said that Qingshan won’t have anything to do with it. I won’t need to provide for the elderly in the future. Even my sons don’t have to provide for the elderly. Grandchildren and granddaughters are even more okay. You are sentimental when you mention something, and it's normal not to mention something. If I hear someone slander them outside, don't blame me for being polite." Uncle's prestige remains the same. ,,,
