After his brother-in-law and second sister Xue Feng left Dadaowan by car, Lin Zhiyuan returned to the small building of his grandmother's house. He was very worried about the health of his mother and aunt.

Fortunately, Ning Xiufen and Ning Xiuqin were able to get out of bed after Su Jin's persuasion, and they were eating breakfast at this time.

Lin Zhiyuan simply told them everything that had just happened. Ning Xiufen nodded continuously, "Zhiyuan, the banquet must be the best, and we must also buy a similar cemetery. We can't let outsiders laugh at our family."

"Mom, don't worry! You and aunt don't go out. It's cold outside. We will take care of everything!" After Lin Zhiyuan talked to his mother and aunt for a few words, his husband came to discuss the funeral procession in the afternoon.

In Northeast China, sending off the deceased is a top priority event at a funeral. There are many rules, such as female relatives packing money into the warehouse, male members carrying cows and horses, and relatives and friends walking to see the elderly off.

Now that the gentleman had seen through Lin Zhiyuan's identity, he took the initiative to help him reduce a lot of cumbersome procedures and simplify them as much as possible.

After finalizing all the arrangements for the afternoon funeral, my eldest brother-in-law Guo Shun and Zhou Hai also came back. The two of them bought a whole car of things, including cigarettes, alcohol, fruits, and melon seeds...

Neighbors from Dadaowan came forward to help unload the truck.

At half past nine, an Audi A6 drove into Dadaowan Village. After asking along the way, the car drove to the mourning shed, and Xu Dayou, Shi Maocai, and Bai Shuguang arrived.

The three men got off the car, walked into the mourning shed, and saluted three times respectfully. Lin Dajun and Xue Baichang hurriedly returned the salute.

Several people stepped forward and said a few words of comfort. Lin Zhiyuan, who got the news, rushed over.

The three of them complained to Lin Zhiyuan in unison, "Zhiyuan, what's wrong with you? You didn't even inform us of such a big thing? You're treating us like outsiders."

Lin Zhiyuan had just explained a few words when another car drove into the village. Chu Peng and Sun Gexin also arrived. Lin Zhiyuan hurried over to greet them.

"Zhiyuan, we two are here first. I have called the unit to inform them. They will send the wreaths and funeral couplets later."

The village secretary of Dadaowan took a look at these small-sized Audi cars made of leather and steel and realized that important leaders had arrived. He quickly asked the villagers to build a shed for the leaders to keep warm and rest.

Starting from nine o'clock, good cars drove into Dadaowan one after another. The Eight Vajras, Geng Zhenbiao, Guan Yuecheng and other leaders of Ge Gang who got the news arrived one after another. Soon, one tent was full, and the village secretary hurriedly asked someone to clear out another tent.

Various wreaths and elegiac couplets arrived shortly after these leaders.

Soon, the Ning family’s small building and six sheds were surrounded by wreaths and elegiac couplets. From a distance, it looked like a sea of ​​white.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Jin Huaying arrived.

When entering the village, Zhang Liang called Lin Zhiyuan, "Brother Lin, Mr. Jin is here."

Lin Zhiyuan was overwhelmed when he heard this. He really didn't want to make such a grandma's funeral such a big deal. His original idea was to spend more money to prepare a good banquet and buy a good cemetery to make his mother feel at ease, that's all. But now the trend of things has gone beyond his control.

Jin Huaying arrived, and Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to go out to greet her.

All the leaders of Gegang at all levels and leaders of various departments of Ge'an who were resting in the shed came out after hearing the news.

A large group of people lined up in front of the mourning shed to welcome Jin Huaying.

Some villagers didn't know what was going on and huddled outside, whispering to each other.

"Who is here again?"

"I don't know, but judging by the pomp and ceremony, he should be a leader more powerful than these people."

The village party secretary glared at the villagers who were talking and said, "Shut the fuck up, the people who came here today are all big leaders you don't even get to see on weekdays, don't bring shame to our Dadaowan."

When the Audi A10001 with license plate number Dong C stopped, the village party secretary rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh my God, isn't this the car of top leader Ge Gang?"

This grandson of the Ning family is so extraordinary that even the top leader Ge Gang came to pay his respects.

As soon as Jin Huaying got out of the car, Lin Zhiyuan came to greet her, "Boss Jin, why are you still here? I feel so sorry for you."

Jin Huaying shook hands with him. "As you should, Zhiyuan. You don't have to think too much. This is not Yanjing."

Jin Huaying understood Lin Zhiyuan's thoughts very well. She knew that he was afraid that the funeral would be too grand and cause mistakes, so she comforted him in this way.

Lin Zhiyuan accompanied Jin Huaying into the mourning shed and bowed three times to his grandmother's portrait.

Afterwards, Lin Zhiyuan brought Jin Huaying and other leaders back to the shed. Jin Huaying took the initiative to ask, "Zhiyuan, what time will the funeral be held this afternoon?"

Lin Zhiyuan was shocked. With Jin Huaying's status, he could not let him participate in the funeral. "Mr. Jin, it's 1pm. But I have enough people at home. Thank you all. Have a meal at my place at noon, and then everyone can go back!"

Jin Huaying nodded, looked around, and glanced at the cadres at all levels of Gegang, "If any of you are free, please try to stay and help Zhiyuan. It's a funeral, it all depends on one's popularity."

Jin Huaying was right. In the Northeast, the most important thing when sending off a funeral is to see which family has the most people. The more people there are, the more prosperous the family is.

Chu Peng and Sun Gexin replied: "Boss Jin, don't worry, we will all go to the funeral this afternoon."

Lin Zhiyuan could only whisper to his sister: "Sister, go tell Youtou to change the lunch banquet to the standard of Huiling meal. If the money is not enough, I will give him the money later."

Lin Ningjing nodded and went out. She also realized that all these leaders would stay here for lunch.

In the Northeast, especially in cities, the pace of life is fast. When people attend funerals, they seldom stay for dinner at the host's home. Those who are willing to stay are the closest friends and relatives, and the number of people who are sending off the funeral is the same. The more people willing to stay for dinner at the host's home, the better the popularity of this family.

Lin Ningjing hurriedly found Youtou and told him what happened. Youtou hurriedly asked someone to drive to the market to purchase new ingredients.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhiyuan's phone rang again. He answered it with a wry smile, then turned to Jin Huaying and said, "Boss Jin, Secretary Zhang and Mayor Jin from Ge'an have entered the village and will be here soon."

Jin Huaying nodded, "Then go and answer it quickly, don't be rude."

When they heard that Zhang Mingguang and Jin Qiuxing were also coming, Guan Yuecheng and the Eight Vajra accompanied Lin Zhiyuan out to greet them.

At this time, the front and back of the Ning family's small building were already full of cars, and Zhang Mingguang's car No. 1 and Jin Qiuxing's car No. 2 could only be parked far away.

Lin Zhiyuan strode over and said, "Secretary Zhang, Mayor Jin, I'm really sorry for disturbing you two leaders."

"Assistant Lin, we are so sad. The two of us are here to see the old man off."

Zhang Mingguang spotted Jin Huaying's car at a glance, "Is President Jin here too?"

"Just arrived!"

"Okay, let's go pay our respects to the old man."

Accompanied by Lin Zhiyuan, the two men walked into the mourning shed, performed three salutes, and then entered the shed to talk with Jin Huaying and others.

Originally, the two sheds were clearly separated, with one cadre from Ge Gang and one from the municipal government. After Zhang Mingguang and Jin Qiuxing arrived, the personnel structure in the shed was quickly adjusted automatically, with one cadre at the deputy-department level or above and the other one.

When Mingguang, Wang Changsong, Li Gang, Zhang Dalu and others rushed back, they could not drive into the village because there were too many cars coming later. They could only park their cars outside the village and walk in.

After listening to his brother-in-law's account of the entire process of buying the cemetery, Lin Zhiyuan felt even more helpless. The development of things now had completely deviated from his original intention.
