Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Indeed, Jiang lived to be 83 years old, and it was fine to hang himself all day long. How could he want to die on a sack line in the end?

Mrs. Jiang passed away in the morning. In the Northeast, this is called three days.

The weather is hot at this time, and three days of tossing about the funeral is really enough.

Fortunately, the birthday materials were prepared long ago, not to mention the shrouds, the Jiang family has been preparing for more than ten years.

Every New Year's Eve, she still wears it once.

Zhou Anping hired a carpenter to collect the birthday materials, paint them, draw patterns on them, and make a big show. According to the local custom, before every meal, he took the Zhou family's children and grandchildren to deliver soup.

Xu Shiyan and others kept watch at night, and had to help with the funeral during the day, and just like that, two days passed.

On the morning of the third day, the body was buried, the coffin was sealed, and the children and grandchildren cried and sent each other off.

Eight strong young men lifted the coffin and carried it to the mountain for burial according to the pre-selected location.

The Zhou family prepared a banquet here, thanking relatives and friends for their help.

After the meal, the friends who helped each other dispersed, leaving only the bookkeeper, Da Zhangluo, and the Zhou family to settle the accounts.

The brothers settled the accounts clearly, and the old lady is no longer here, and the affairs behind must be cleared up.

These years, red and white weddings and weddings are held, and those who give less money are all given things.

To do white affairs, ordinary friends are just a few knives of paper, but for better friends, most of them have a tent besides paper, which is black cloth and white cloth.

The bookkeeper collected all the gifts received in the past few days and all kinds of expenses, and reported to the three brothers Zhou Anping.

The money for the funeral was all taken from Zhou Anping. Now that the accounts are out, the three brothers must share them equally.

According to local customs, daughters are not divided into family property, and the daughters are not required to pay for the funeral of the elderly.

The only thing is that the money for digging the coffin has to be paid by the daughter.

Of course, this is not much money, Zhou Guilan, sister Zhou Guizhi, and younger sister Zhou Guiyun, ten yuan each is enough.

The three brothers of the Zhou family were okay, and settled the accounts in a friendly manner.

The second child, Zhou Anfu, and the third child, Zhou Ansheng, both gave money to the boss.

In this regard, the funeral of the old man has come to an end.Then there will be three days to round the grave and burn Wuqi.

"You brothers and sisters go back, you don't need to stay here with us, your mother and I are fine, we're all fine."

Everything here was dealt with clearly. Xu Chenghou called his five sons to him and told them to go home separately.

The boss, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth all go to work, so it is not good to take too long a leave.

The second child and the third child have to keep an eye on the farm, and the third child still has a lot of work to do, so it is not good to delay it any longer.

"We'll wait until the grave is completed before going back. Just now your uncle and the others also said that the first seven will not be burned, only the fifth and seventh.

Let's come again when we wait for the five-seventh and hundred-day burns. "

According to local rules, when someone passes away, it is generally the funeral, round grave, May [-]th, [-]th day, anniversary, and third anniversary, which are more important.

In some places, more attention is paid to the first seven, but most of them do not burn the first seven.

As the old saying goes, the first seven have to be done, and the next seven have to be done, and no one can afford it, so most of them burn Wuqi.

If there are five sons in the family, you can't burn Wuqi, you have to burn Sanqi.

At this time, every household is busy, and no one can stay here for seven or eight days, and leave whenever they need to.

Xu Shiyan and the others are all grandchildren, so it's not bad for this sake, no one cares about it.

"Father, mother, let's go back first, you two will stay here for a few more days, and it happens that my third uncle and aunt also rarely come back to get together.

Dad, look at my mother, don't let her cry all the time, it's not good to cry too much. "

The six brothers and sisters of the Xu family saw that it was getting late, and there was no car to go back any later.

The crowd didn't bother, and they left together after exhorting their parents a few words.

The six siblings broke up at the bridge, Xu Shide crossed the river and headed north, and the remaining five siblings walked to Xianren Bridge.

At Xianrenqiao Railway Station, Xu Shiyan, Xu Shian, and Xu Shiqin went to buy train tickets, and the three of them took the train back to Songjianghe.

But Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang took the bus on Xianren Bridge to Fusong, and they arrived at the county first.

If there is a car going to Xinglong, Xu Shixiang will go back directly, if not, Xu Shixiang will stay in the county for one night and return to Xinglong tomorrow.

"Brother, Fifth, you two, pay attention on the road, it's not peaceful at this time, so be careful."

The past few years have not been the same, there is chaos outside, especially passenger cars, there are really road robbers.

Fortunately, the two brothers didn't bring much money with them, so there should be no problem.

The four brothers left, Xu Shiyan took the express train with his second elder brother and sixth younger sister, and wandered back to Songjiang River together.

Xu Shi'an Sentie, Xu Shiqin went to the store, and Xu Shiyan went home.

"Second brother-in-law, you are back. Someone will always come to your house to look for you these days."

As soon as Xu Shiyan entered the door, Su Anhua hurriedly said.

2 Chapter Twenty

Without even thinking about it, Xu Shiyan knew who was looking for him. This Li Chengrong is really a nerd.

"It's okay, I'll be there in two days." Xu Shiyan smiled and walked into the east room.

When I entered the room, I saw that Su Anying was coaxing the two little ones on the kang.

There were no shadows of Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping in the room. It is estimated that these two children went crazy to someone else.

"How is it? I haven't been at home for a few days, have the two kids been having trouble?"

Xu Shiyan came closer, stretched his head to look, the two children were not asleep, they were lying on the quilt and kicking their legs.

"It's okay, it's much easier to coax than in confinement.

Take a nap in the morning and a nap in the afternoon, and stop crying at other times.

If it's okay, I'll play with them. When they fall asleep, I can also sleep for a while.

Hua'er is capable, I don't need me to wash clothes and cook, just look after the children, I'm okay, not too tired. "

Su Anying turned her head to look at Xu Shiyan, and found that her husband's eye sockets were sunken and his face was full of stubble. He knew that he must have not had a good rest these days.

"Would you like to go to sleep for a while, I look at your eye sockets are blue." Su Anying felt sorry for her husband and asked him softly.

"It's okay, I just stayed up for two nights." Xu Shiyan didn't care, and reached out to touch the little feet of his daughter and son.

"I'll recover after a good night's sleep. Now I won't be able to sleep at night."

The couple teased the child while chatting in low voices, Xu Shiyan had to tell Su Anying what happened at Daying.

"I saw our father and mother, and they all went over to help. After a while, I chatted with my parents for a while."

They are all in the same brigade, and they are not far away. If the Zhou family has something to do, Su Weizhong must go to help.

"I heard from my parents that they want me to find a partner for my sixth sister in Donggang.

I didn't make a statement at the time, so I passed it vaguely.Daughter-in-law, do you think this can work? "

It is a matter of my sister-in-law's life, so I must ask my wife's opinion.

In [-] in his last life, Su Weizhong passed away due to kidney disease.

Su Anying's elder sister Qin Meiling, through her husband's relationship, took her mother Han and her two younger sisters, Su Anfang and Su Anhua, to Hunjiang.

Then he figured out a way to arrange jobs for both younger sisters.

Su Anfang was at the piano factory, and Su Anhua was at the paper mill.

Unfortunately, within a few years, the piano factory was ruined, the paper mill was shut down due to pollution, and the two sisters lost their jobs.

Later, Su Anfang married a grocery vendor and had a daughter.

Su Anhua is married to a chef and has a son.

Life in the city is just like that, it looks good on the outside, and the people in the city are bright and beautiful.

In fact, people with little ability have to live frugally and spend money, which is no better than life in the country.

So when Xu Shiyan learned of his father-in-law and mother-in-law's intentions, he hesitated a little. Isn't it good to let him intervene in the marriage of the two sisters-in-law?

The point is that the two brothers-in-law are very good people, it seems wrong to destroy other people's marriage indiscriminately.

When Su Anying heard this, she was stunned.

"How big is the flower? Seventeen, what do you want to do so early? I don't know what my parents think?"

As the person who brought up the eldest sister in one hand, Su Anying didn't think it was a good thing to marry her younger sister so early.

Being a girl for a day and being an official for a day is not bad. Besides, Su Anhua is young, so there is really no need to be too anxious.

Xu Shiyan understood as soon as he heard it, and nodded quickly, "Well, I thought so too, it's too early."

Xu Shiyan has a belief here that what the wife says is the truth, no matter what the daughter-in-law says, he will listen to it, and if the daughter-in-law says no, then it is no good.

Su Anying was amused by Xu Shiyan, and glared at him.

"Come on, go to the barber shop and shave your head and face. Look at what you made, and the two children will stop looking for you when they come back."

Generally speaking, if an elder in the family passes away, the children and grandchildren should not cut their hair or shave within five or seven days.Many people rush to shave their heads or something after the funeral.

Xu Shiyan is a grandson, so it is logical that he is not included in this list. Besides, he has to go around busy, how can he be made like a savage?

Xu Shiyan looked in the mirror, and it turned out that his hair had grown and his beard was unshaven.

"Come on, you are coaxing the kids at home, I'll go to the barber shop. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy something along the way."

"No, there is nothing missing at home, you can shave your head quickly, take a bath in hot water at night, and change your clothes."

Knowing Xu Shiyan's temper, Su Anying hurriedly said that she didn't need to buy anything, and just like that, kicked Xu Shiyan out of the house.

The commune has a shaving shed. At this time, the head is shaved forty-five cents, and the face is also shaved.

The barber was very skilled, and the manual clippers were very smooth, and he gave Xu Shiyan a flat head.

Then dipped in soap foam with a brush, and brushed it on the upper and lower lips and cheeks. With a razor in his hand, he shaved off his beard with a few brushes.

Not only that, even the nose, ears and eyes were scraped.

After tidying up everything, and coming out of the shaving shed cleanly and comfortably, I feel refreshed.

It happened that the barbershop was not far from the store, so Xu Shiyan went in for a walk, bought some candies and biscuits for his daughter and daughter, and walked back with a paper bag.

As soon as I walked near the tomb of the martyrs, I found a group of children who didn't know what they were doing in the open space in front of the tomb of the martyrs.

There was a lot of noise, and it seemed that someone else started to fight.

This group of children looked like the older ones were only six or seven years old, and the younger ones might be three or four years old.

Children in these days are free-range, and they can go home to eat when it is time to eat, and go wild wherever they like in the rest of the time.

The adults in the family are very busy, who has time to take care of them?

The children run wildly outside all day, and they are all made of mud monkeys, and they have to be scolded when they go home.

But early tomorrow morning, I still ran outside without remembering.

Everyone's childhood was like this, Xu Shiyan didn't think much of it, so he didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, smiled and shook his head before heading home.

But before he could walk over, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Among the group of children, there seemed to be someone in a pink skirt who was wrestling together, right?

Pink skirt?Does his daughter have a pink skirt?

Thinking of this, Xu Shiyan couldn't calm down anymore, he walked up to him a few steps and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? Are you going against the sky? Do you still dare to fight?"

They were all children, and as soon as they heard that an adult was coming, all the spectators around ran away, leaving only the few who scuffled together in the middle.

Xu Shiyan saw it, okay, his eldest son got entangled with a six or seven-year-old boy.

The boy grabbed Xu Haiyuan's shoulders and pressed his head against Xu Haiyuan's chest. Xu Haiyuan grabbed the other person's hair tightly and pulled it back.

On the other side, the daughter of his family was not idle, and was torn together with a four or five-year-old boy.

The boy pulled Xu Jinping's braid, and Xu Jinping lowered her head and bit the boy's arm hard, making the boy cry in pain.
